July 18 00:00:58,650 --> 00:00:58,950 4, 19 00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:03,780 this is unfortunately it's true. This is absolutely happens from 20 00:01:03,780 --> 00:01:10,020 time to time, with incredibly smart populace. In the morning, 21 00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:13,140 John in the morning to everyone on the stream. And let me say 22 00:01:13,140 --> 00:01:14,940 today in the morning to all ships at sea. 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,280 And in the morning to everyone listening. 24 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,930 Yes, you. You were up late last night and up early this morning. 25 00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:23,580 Looking at my email log. 26 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,170 Yeah, what happened? I was up late last night and then I got 27 00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:28,740 up early. 28 00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:31,830 Yeah. Well, what happened? You just fell out of bed? 29 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,750 No, I stuck up my normal number of hours. Okay. Yes, seven. 30 00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:37,020 Right. That's 31 00:01:37,020 --> 00:01:38,730 what I always got to wake up after sun. Oh, 32 00:01:38,730 --> 00:01:42,120 I go from six. Really? Ooh, seven is the ideal number. There 33 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:48,900 was a there was a lecture on UCTV and this woman was the 34 00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:54,840 world's expert on sleep. And she thought she actually was wasn't 35 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,560 a bad looking woman. Professor anyway, she says that they all 36 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,760 the studies indicate that the optimum num number of hours for 37 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,310 human longevity. In other words, if you want to live long, yeah, 38 00:02:05,340 --> 00:02:10,260 is 77 hours. And if you get eight hours, it's has the same 39 00:02:10,260 --> 00:02:14,580 negative benefits as getting six hours and getting nine hours has 40 00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:17,370 the same negative benefits as getting five hours. 41 00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:21,540 I always find that if I awaken on the odd hour that I'm better 42 00:02:21,540 --> 00:02:22,560 than the 11 hour. 43 00:02:22,950 --> 00:02:25,710 Yeah, so if I wait, I tend to find it very difficult to get 44 00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:26,550 seven hours sleep. 45 00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:30,000 Oh, no, no problem from you know what? Yesterday? No, the day 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,090 before yesterday, Mickey has been threatening she dragged me 47 00:02:33,090 --> 00:02:39,660 down to get my teeth whitened. And this is a process called 48 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,560 what actually is cleaning me up. It's the process called the 49 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,740 zoom. And it's crazy because what they do is they they put a 50 00:02:49,740 --> 00:02:53,340 hydrogen peroxide on your teeth, and then they blast it with a 51 00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:57,510 light for like 45 minutes. And what happens is because your 52 00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:00,690 teeth are porous, then the stuff gets into your, you know, 53 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,060 basically into the what do you call them welding you know, it's 54 00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:05,400 porous so it gets close to the nerve and all of a sudden you 55 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,130 start getting these, like electrical shocks almost like 56 00:03:08,130 --> 00:03:13,170 you're chewing on aluminium foil with a filling. And, and it but 57 00:03:13,170 --> 00:03:14,880 it doesn't happen until they turn the light off. And I'm 58 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,430 like, Hey, what's going on? And then they said, Oh, don't worry. 59 00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:19,560 That's just what we call zingers as well. You could have told me 60 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,940 beforehand, and then they gave me Vikon I've been sleeping 61 00:03:23,940 --> 00:03:32,310 quite well. If I could then shits amazing. I'll bet I never 62 00:03:32,310 --> 00:03:41,070 really tried it. Yeah, Vika Dave yay, Viking good, is good stuff. 63 00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:44,280 That's peroxide treatment. It'll be interesting because it 64 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,490 sometimes in some people, they put it in a lot of mix it up 65 00:03:47,490 --> 00:03:49,770 wrong. And then they put on your teeth and they pull this thing 66 00:03:49,770 --> 00:03:51,090 off and your teeth are gone. 67 00:03:53,370 --> 00:03:55,440 What do you mean, they're still doing well, 68 00:03:55,620 --> 00:03:58,680 by the way, and don't bite an apple. Because many times just 69 00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,250 cracking 70 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,760 the apple. Okay. I'll take your advice. 71 00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:04,920 But you'll have pretty teeth. 72 00:04:04,950 --> 00:04:07,350 That's that's all the sudden I had to sign like a whole bunch 73 00:04:07,350 --> 00:04:10,950 of forms, which is just basically you start falling out. 74 00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:18,090 It was quite funny. So do you want to talk about Al Gore 75 00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:20,520 before we do the producers or should we do we have an 76 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,690 executive producer actually? 77 00:04:21,989 --> 00:04:23,969 Yeah, that's good for you.

Well, you know that he had to go he had to go 189 00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:35,370 because he failed on his mission as the as the global warming 190 00:11:35,370 --> 00:11:37,650 guru, so they had to get him out of the picture. And you know, 191 00:11:37,650 --> 00:11:42,630 there's aside from actually given him the old to to the 192 00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:46,320 head. This is the what better way just yeah, 193 00:11:46,350 --> 00:11:49,110 this is you know, the next step would have been some phoney 194 00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:51,570 baloney paedophilia charge. Oh, 195 00:11:51,780 --> 00:11:53,670 can still come? Yeah. Could 196 00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:57,090 if he doesn't back. Shut up. Yeah, he really had to shut up 197 00:11:57,090 --> 00:11:59,760 and get here. The thing is, I understand and when he shows up, 198 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,950 you know, he's the he's one of the one of the partners of some 199 00:12:04,950 --> 00:12:06,690 sort at Kleiner Perkins. 200 00:12:07,079 --> 00:12:11,369 Well, yeah, no, he. That's the big fun they have together which 201 00:12:11,789 --> 00:12:14,459 includes the warming includes the carbon trading 202 00:12:14,819 --> 00:12:19,139 desk scam. Yes. And apparently when he shows up over at the 203 00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:22,199 offices, he Lords it over everybody. He's got all these, 204 00:12:22,229 --> 00:12:24,989 you know, Secret Service guy? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. 205 00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:27,300 Let me just correct you on that. Because I've been there when he 206 00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:32,490 was there. He has two Secret Service guys in an Escalade. And 207 00:12:32,490 --> 00:12:36,270 he's got a sheriff. The sheriff comes out with them. So in 208 00:12:36,270 --> 00:12:39,720 total, it's four guys because the sheriff and a deputy. That's 209 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,670 his whole detail, but it's enough. You know, that's a 210 00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:46,710 lot. Yeah, no, walk around with four people. In my posse, I 211 00:12:46,710 --> 00:12:49,500 think you're more under threat than he is. Nobody cares about 212 00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:52,470 him. It's up to women. Yeah, yeah. 213 00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:57,270 No, it's, uh, I think he's just got to lay very, very low for a 214 00:12:57,270 --> 00:13:05,010 while. And just interesting. So, so you said you said you had 215 00:13:05,010 --> 00:13:07,470 only a couple clips much less than the normal 216 00:13:07,770 --> 00:13:11,190 game wasn't that many clips that you apparently garnered a bunch 217 00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:12,450 of clips. I found very few 218 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,780 was funny, because, you know, I actually, I did have a lot of 219 00:13:15,780 --> 00:13:19,740 time yesterday. I'll be the first to admit that. Which is a 220 00:13:19,740 --> 00:13:23,970 good let your teeth heal. Yeah. So I'm high on Viking the day 221 00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:28,710 went by really slowly and get a lot more work done. I get a lot 222 00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:32,310 more done that way. And, you know, my my hunch was right. I 223 00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:35,250 was thinking your everybody is all over this Elena Kagan 224 00:13:35,250 --> 00:13:38,700 confirmation hearing. So there's got to be something else going 225 00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:43,170 on. He had the minute drudge poll because I'm sure. I don't 226 00:13:43,170 --> 00:13:46,620 think you even have it. I got to play the clip from Elena Kagan. 227 00:13:46,620 --> 00:13:49,860 This is the one that drudge posted. And everyone's like, Oh, 228 00:13:49,860 --> 00:13:53,310 she you know, when she comes in, then the government's gonna 229 00:13:53,310 --> 00:13:54,660 force us what to eat. 230 00:13:55,049 --> 00:13:58,229 Yeah, no, I found that to be disingenuous. 231 00:13:58,770 --> 00:14:00,540 Should we just played let me just play that for a second. 232 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,620 Just to set it up. So anybody who was on the blog? Yeah. So I 233 00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:07,440 actually have it under the heading Codex Alimentarius. 234 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,100 Because the one thing I couldn't find is what, who's the guy that 235 00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:16,620 asked the question? Coburn, Senator Coburn, what I couldn't 236 00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:20,910 find is what Bill he was referring to, because he's 237 00:14:20,910 --> 00:14:23,580 basically saying, you know, there's a bill that's that's 238 00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:27,540 coming through that has to do with telling people what to eat. 239 00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:31,080 And so what is your decision going to be on this? Let's 240 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,020 listen to the clip. This is from C span three from the live 241 00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:34,440 coverage 242 00:14:34,470 --> 00:14:38,640 if I wanted to sponsor a bill, and it said, Americans, you have 243 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,050 to eat three vegetables and three fruits every day. And I 244 00:14:43,050 --> 00:14:46,080 got it through Congress, and it's now the law of the land. 245 00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:52,710 Gotta do it. Gotta do it. Does that violate the Commerce 246 00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:53,130 Clause? 247 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,890 Sounds like a dumb law. 248 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,330 Yeah, I got one. There's real similar to it. I think is 249 00:15:00,330 --> 00:15:02,910 equally dumb. I'm not gonna mention what it is. 250 00:15:02,940 --> 00:15:05,820 I don't know how come no one's all over that. Well, what Bill 251 00:15:05,820 --> 00:15:11,190 is it? I was Googling, Googling, Googling Google? ghuli? I 252 00:15:11,190 --> 00:15:12,030 couldn't find it. 253 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,730 Yeah, you probably have to call his office to get it. I 254 00:15:15,330 --> 00:15:18,360 think that the question of whether it's a dumb law is 255 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,360 different from whether the question of whether it's 256 00:15:21,510 --> 00:15:27,120 constitutional. And, and, and I think that courts would be wrong 257 00:15:27,630 --> 00:15:33,000 to strike down laws that that they think are senseless, just 258 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,020 because they're senseless? 259 00:15:34,050 --> 00:15:37,050 Well, I guess the question I'm asking you is, do we have the 260 00:15:37,050 --> 00:15:39,330 power to tell people what they have to eat every day? 261 00:15:42,210 --> 00:15:47,730 Senator Coburn I mean, what is 262 00:15:47,730 --> 00:15:51,450 the extent of the commerce clause we have this wide embrace 263 00:15:51,810 --> 00:15:58,800 of the Commerce Clause, which these guys who wrote this never 264 00:15:58,830 --> 00:16:02,100 ever fathom that we would be so stupid to take our liberties 265 00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:04,140 away by expanding the Commerce Clause this 266 00:16:04,140 --> 00:16:06,630 way? And I think he's holding up the Constitution it's a little 267 00:16:06,630 --> 00:16:10,170 unclear what could be the Bible? I'm not sure what holding up it 268 00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:12,660 looks like the Bible is like a constitution. It looks a little 269 00:16:12,660 --> 00:16:16,530 thick to be the Constitution actually. So so everyone said 270 00:16:16,530 --> 00:16:16,650 that 271 00:16:16,650 --> 00:16:21,180 maybe the law he's talking about Yeah. I don't understand why he 272 00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:23,070 doesn't mention I find that the weird 273 00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:26,760 me too. I guess that's like, Huh, why don't you just tell us 274 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,700 what's what's going on? Why the big secret but I don't see 275 00:16:29,730 --> 00:16:33,180 anywhere in the media. anyone questioning this? But what was 276 00:16:33,180 --> 00:16:33,810 he talking about? 277 00:16:33,810 --> 00:16:35,940 Most people in the media think we should eat the three 278 00:16:35,940 --> 00:16:38,250 vegetables a day or something? I don't know. I have no idea. 279 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,840 Well, boy, I do have to go for a vegetable right now. Yeah, I can 280 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,760 go for I think some squashes in season. 281 00:16:44,820 --> 00:16:47,910 I could go for some brought some broccoli. Tasty. Broccoli is 282 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:53,340 nice. Well, just on that briefly. You know that you and I 283 00:16:53,340 --> 00:16:58,590 both could actually be suffering from an actual disorder John. 284 00:16:59,940 --> 00:17:06,510 Broccoli, no. orthorexia nervosa, orthorexia. Yes, 285 00:17:06,540 --> 00:17:09,360 this is this is nourish. It's obviously 286 00:17:10,470 --> 00:17:12,630 we haven't heard of this. Oh, my goodness. No, of 287 00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:13,530 course not what? 288 00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:18,510 Well, this is big news. This is all over the mainstream news 289 00:17:18,510 --> 00:17:24,180 orthorexia. I just said it and I forgot it already. nervosa. 290 00:17:24,210 --> 00:17:28,110 orthorexia nervosa is fixation on righteous eating. 291 00:17:29,490 --> 00:17:33,090 Oh, yeah. We are definitely suffers Is there 292 00:17:33,090 --> 00:17:35,910 a pill? Not yet, but there will be a vaccine 293 00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:39,300 called a McDonald's hamburger? Yes. The 294 00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:43,860 I am definitely seeing significantly significantly more 295 00:17:43,890 --> 00:17:47,670 Orthorexic than just a few years ago, said Ursula Philpott Chair 296 00:17:47,670 --> 00:17:51,420 of the British diet Dietetic Association's Mental Health 297 00:17:51,420 --> 00:17:55,020 Group. other eating disorders focus on quantity of food but 298 00:17:55,020 --> 00:17:58,260 Orthorexic can be overweight or look normal. They are solely 299 00:17:58,260 --> 00:18:00,180 concerned with the quality of the food they put in their 300 00:18:00,180 --> 00:18:02,010 bodies were finding and restricting their diets 301 00:18:02,010 --> 00:18:04,770 according to their personal understanding of which foods are 302 00:18:04,770 --> 00:18:09,060 truly pure. orthorexia is commonly have rigid rules around 303 00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:09,510 eating 304 00:18:09,690 --> 00:18:13,530 I think we ate whoever got the website get orthorexia.com 305 00:18:13,860 --> 00:18:14,670 Oh yeah, good. 306 00:18:14,670 --> 00:18:18,270 one.go Go go go go. That is now a 307 00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:24,150 orthorexia nervosa, that is that we are Orthorexic Orthorexic and 308 00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:27,840 proud of it and proud of it. We need a t shirt t shirt guys 309 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,940 Orthorexic and proud of it this is great artists. Alert for Paul 310 00:18:33,060 --> 00:18:36,030 when it gets better. The obsession about which foods are 311 00:18:36,030 --> 00:18:38,910 good and which are bad means Orthorexic can end up 312 00:18:38,910 --> 00:18:43,740 malnourished I'll bullcrap their dietary restrictions commonly 313 00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:47,040 caused sufferers to feel proud of their virtuous behaviour. 314 00:18:47,070 --> 00:18:49,470 This is us, John, they get to us to the tee. 315 00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:52,950 Yeah, but it's probably also includes the whole foods, people 316 00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:55,560 who probably are starving themselves because of the 317 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,080 inability to digest brown rice. 318 00:18:58,410 --> 00:19:02,070 Dean that Deanna Jade, founder of the National Centre for 319 00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:05,340 eating disorders said, there's a fine line between people who 320 00:19:05,340 --> 00:19:07,800 think they are taking care of themselves by manipulating their 321 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,040 diet and those who have orthorexia. I see people build 322 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,410 people around we have no idea they have this disorder. 323 00:19:14,010 --> 00:19:17,460 People wanted us to talk about food more. Here you go. 324 00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:20,190 I see it in my practice. I see amongst my friends and 325 00:19:20,190 --> 00:19:25,380 colleagues, Modern society has lost its way with food. This is 326 00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:26,670 just too good. 327 00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:29,550 Heaven forbid another French restaurant just opened. What are 328 00:19:29,550 --> 00:19:30,510 we going to do? 329 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,050 So I mean, there's I have a couple of things on the under 330 00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:41,160 the Codex Alimentarius heading in the show notes. I'm sure you 331 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,990 saw this. You probably blog this the European Union. Now as Ben, 332 00:19:45,990 --> 00:19:50,490 this is part of the Codex is telling shopkeepers. Sorry, you 333 00:19:50,490 --> 00:19:53,160 can't sell eggs by the dozen all fell Yes. 334 00:19:53,340 --> 00:19:56,430 No, I don't know. But as soon as I saw I was blogging. Well, I 335 00:19:56,430 --> 00:19:59,250 just maybe didn't get to it. Yeah, it's ridiculous. You can't 336 00:19:59,250 --> 00:20:04,560 sell eggs by Doesn't this is this is what are they thinking 337 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,830 with this that now they're gonna make your way each egg? Yeah, 338 00:20:08,700 --> 00:20:12,780 it's a it's a 10 cent item. Chickens crap them out all over 339 00:20:12,780 --> 00:20:16,260 the place. They're out there in the yard. Yeah. 340 00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:20,880 Well, there you go. It's it's going to be legal. Illegal I 341 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:21,570 tell you 342 00:20:23,850 --> 00:20:26,340 it's just funny, you know, the fact that any public would put 343 00:20:26,340 --> 00:20:29,310 up with something like that is ridiculous. Well, it just can't 344 00:20:29,310 --> 00:20:31,110 sell eggs by the dozen. 345 00:20:32,490 --> 00:20:35,010 I'm sure there will be big protest and get Monet shout 346 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,870 over. Just put up. So, anyway, back to Kagan, 347 00:20:40,050 --> 00:20:42,930 and it just makes the lines longer as they have to weigh the 348 00:20:42,930 --> 00:20:43,560 eggs, 349 00:20:43,620 --> 00:20:47,160 does it? So there's a couple things that were going on at the 350 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,500 same time. And I'm glad I switched around, because 351 00:20:49,890 --> 00:20:54,180 yesterday, the house essentially passed the what I am calling the 352 00:20:54,180 --> 00:21:00,450 Federal Reserve empowerment act. This is the what the President 353 00:21:00,450 --> 00:21:06,480 calls the financial reform bill. And I've read this bill, and 354 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,900 I've posted yet another copy of it. It's weird now, right, 355 00:21:09,900 --> 00:21:12,780 because they have all these different amendments and are 356 00:21:12,780 --> 00:21:16,350 amendments changes. And I watched the voting yesterday. It 357 00:21:16,350 --> 00:21:21,870 was pretty amazing. Amazing. I tell you, where the the Audit 358 00:21:21,870 --> 00:21:25,140 the Fed portion of the bill was, so they wanted to send it back. 359 00:21:25,170 --> 00:21:28,830 Right. They wanted to send it back to the to the committee. 360 00:21:29,580 --> 00:21:36,150 And so they had a vote. And to send it back that failed 198 to 361 00:21:36,150 --> 00:21:42,480 229. Ron Paul actually posted on his Facebook this morning. He 362 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,630 said, well, a lot of Democrats who actually co sponsored my 363 00:21:45,630 --> 00:21:49,170 bill voted against it when it really mattered. So he's gonna 364 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,040 post a list of the Democrats who flipped flopped at the last 365 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:53,610 moment. 366 00:21:53,820 --> 00:21:55,080 When do I Yeah. 367 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,500 Do you think there was any pressure? And it was amazing to 368 00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:02,760 watch? Barney Frank was freaking out. I know. I've been pulling 369 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,190 so many clips. I didn't have time. What was he freaking out 370 00:22:05,190 --> 00:22:09,210 about? I'm just he was so you know, he was really excited 371 00:22:09,210 --> 00:22:12,000 because this is his big thing. Right? It's the it's the Barney 372 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,590 Frank's Chris Dodd bill. And you know, when they say okay, the 373 00:22:16,590 --> 00:22:18,630 yeas have it and or whatever. And he goes, 374 00:22:20,610 --> 00:22:21,660 I want to I want to vote. 375 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,250 Literally like that. It's like, whoa, Barney, calm the F down, 376 00:22:26,250 --> 00:22:30,510 dude. And then the minute it passes, then all of a sudden, 377 00:22:30,510 --> 00:22:34,140 and there's been hours, hours of debate. Pelosi is there all of a 378 00:22:34,140 --> 00:22:37,770 sudden, and then she's gonna take all the credit. This is 379 00:22:37,860 --> 00:22:42,270 legendary. This is great. No longer the Republican screwed 380 00:22:42,270 --> 00:22:46,110 us. So now, what's your philosophy? It's good. It's 381 00:22:46,110 --> 00:22:51,450 pretty good, right? Yeah. And so now it goes. I guess so between 382 00:22:51,630 --> 00:22:54,390 the mid July they're going to debate it, and then it'll get 383 00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:57,870 passed. And this gives the Board of Governors of the Federal 384 00:22:57,870 --> 00:23:00,780 Reserve oversight over the banks. I would like to remind 385 00:23:00,780 --> 00:23:04,410 people the Federal Reserve is not a governmental institution. 386 00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:08,670 It is a private collection of banks. So the banks get to 387 00:23:08,670 --> 00:23:12,060 oversee the banks. It's great. It's absolutely great 388 00:23:12,060 --> 00:23:12,870 genius. It 389 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:20,250 it's brill. And so, of course, the President was out yesterday, 390 00:23:20,250 --> 00:23:24,330 there's so much going on. And boy, he was lying. He was out. 391 00:23:24,330 --> 00:23:29,700 He was in Minnesota, Wisconsin. And one of these townhall 392 00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:33,960 meetings one of these bogus things, where there's only 393 00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:38,310 supporters of the president. There may be people standing 394 00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:43,860 behind these these people with tasers for all I know. And I got 395 00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:47,640 I pulled a couple clips. The first one I thought because he 396 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,580 in reference to the financial reform, it's like, you know, and 397 00:23:50,580 --> 00:23:52,200 by the way, it's a still campaigning, it's the 398 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,310 Republicans, you know, we inherited this and it's all bad. 399 00:23:56,310 --> 00:24:01,110 And you know, we got to fix it. And then he brings in a 400 00:24:01,110 --> 00:24:04,470 comparison to passing the health care bill, which I thought was 401 00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:06,810 just interesting, the way he worded this. 402 00:24:09,660 --> 00:24:14,760 And let's face it, for some of us, just voters, the prospects 403 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,740 of change are kind of scary. Even when we know the status quo 404 00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:22,740 isn't working for us. I mean, you remember all the fear 405 00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:25,440 mongering that was going on during the health care debate. 406 00:24:26,070 --> 00:24:28,920 Right. Now, all of you were told, didn't know you're gonna 407 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,850 lose your health care. 408 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,220 By the way, when he does these town halls. This is what he's 409 00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:35,400 really good at. This is where the guy excels. You know, when 410 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,830 he rolls up, it takes off his jacket, rolls up his shirt 411 00:24:37,830 --> 00:24:40,560 sleeves and walks around and he's campaigning, that's all 412 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,260 he's good at take that takes the prepared questions. He's really 413 00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:46,380 really good at it. Very funny. He's really good. He's good. 414 00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:49,679 That's gonna be socialised. government's gonna come in and 415 00:24:50,399 --> 00:24:56,579 death panels is gonna be set up and we're remember that. And now 416 00:24:56,579 --> 00:24:59,729 we're about three, four months into it and everybody's looking 417 00:24:59,729 --> 00:25:00,209 around. No. 418 00:25:02,070 --> 00:25:04,590 Yeah. Nothing changed it. Where's the money? 419 00:25:04,620 --> 00:25:07,920 Exactly. And I'm like, wow, this is amazing. You know, first of 420 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,400 all, a lot of this stuff isn't supposed to hit until 2014. So 421 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,220 we're not going to feel the pain just yet. And all I'm seeing is 422 00:25:14,220 --> 00:25:17,400 increases in rates. Everyone's seeing their rates skyrocket. 423 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,530 Yeah. happen. Yeah, he's good ways is what he does. He's like 424 00:25:22,530 --> 00:25:25,710 a propagandist. He should have been. Yeah. Anyway, go ahead. 425 00:25:25,770 --> 00:25:26,280 Okay. So 426 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,270 then he, and this was kind of scary, and I want you to help me 427 00:25:30,270 --> 00:25:33,660 pick this apart, he hears his speech on why government is 428 00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:36,180 good. And why you need government, because without 429 00:25:36,180 --> 00:25:39,210 government, John, we would be nowhere. I just want you to know 430 00:25:39,210 --> 00:25:43,290 that upfront before we listen to our president proselyte. This 431 00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:49,470 the economic policies, they put in place, turn a $237 billion 432 00:25:49,770 --> 00:25:53,820 surplus into a $1.3 trillion deficit. So 433 00:25:54,569 --> 00:25:56,159 it's kind of old news, isn't it? 434 00:25:56,190 --> 00:25:59,280 Yeah. But also, it's not true, because Clinton took away a lot 435 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,270 of the regulations and, and that that really started affecting 436 00:26:03,270 --> 00:26:04,920 everything in the years after that. 437 00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:08,610 Yeah. Well, it's always been Clinton's fault. Let's face it. 438 00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:10,020 So 439 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,520 there were a couple of signs when I came in, said, you know, 440 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,030 do something about spending. I'm going to do something about 441 00:26:21,030 --> 00:26:24,000 spending. But let's just remember how we got into this 442 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:24,390 fix. 443 00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:29,700 Still campaign. He's still saying it's the Republicans, and 444 00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:31,980 I hate I hate both of them. Democrats. I 445 00:26:31,980 --> 00:26:34,920 tell you this, though, you know, it's the Democrats who have the 446 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,490 house by a wide margin, and they have the Senate, and they have 447 00:26:38,490 --> 00:26:42,630 the presidency, and they're putting the next Supreme Court 448 00:26:42,630 --> 00:26:45,210 justice, and they just put one in, what are they what's the 449 00:26:45,210 --> 00:26:47,670 Republicans got to do with anything else standby, 450 00:26:47,670 --> 00:26:50,850 because government is good, and we really need it. 451 00:27:00,750 --> 00:27:05,100 Now, I've never believed the government has all the answers. 452 00:27:05,970 --> 00:27:10,650 That's not how America thinks. Government can't and should not 453 00:27:10,650 --> 00:27:14,130 replace businesses as the engines of growth and job 454 00:27:14,130 --> 00:27:17,790 creation in our economy. Government should live within 455 00:27:17,790 --> 00:27:21,060 its means we should root out waste and abuse of taxpayer 456 00:27:21,060 --> 00:27:26,250 dollars, wherever and whenever we can. Too much regulation can 457 00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:30,270 stifle competition and hurt businesses. But if you think 458 00:27:30,270 --> 00:27:33,120 about the history of this country, we've always recognised 459 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:37,050 that there are times when only government has been able to do 460 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,880 what individuals couldn't do and what corporations would not do. 461 00:27:41,940 --> 00:27:46,770 Okay, so are you ready for the list? John? Stuff that Well, 462 00:27:46,770 --> 00:27:46,830 I'll 463 00:27:46,830 --> 00:27:50,280 tell you one thing. It doesn't include fixing these potholes 464 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,490 that are out here on highway 80. And they go right onto the 465 00:27:53,550 --> 00:27:56,010 street, Oakland, San Francisco Bay Bridge, you drive up and 466 00:27:56,010 --> 00:27:58,650 down. You're just like ruins your your entire car. 467 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,810 That's how we have railroads and highways and public schools and 468 00:28:03,810 --> 00:28:04,770 police forces. 469 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:11,490 Wait a minute, who built the railways? Wasn't the one that 470 00:28:11,490 --> 00:28:14,220 like some big private guys who like railroads, the Union 471 00:28:14,220 --> 00:28:17,940 Pacific and the sea was central Pacific and the Union Pacific 472 00:28:17,970 --> 00:28:21,840 wasn't like, Morgan or Rockefeller? Again, it 473 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,850 was a bunch of yeah, these these these moguls? 474 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,940 Yeah. But wasn't that private money? Wasn't that private? 475 00:28:27,090 --> 00:28:31,050 Well, it was in 1864. I would think probably Yeah, I think a 476 00:28:31,050 --> 00:28:33,390 lot. Yeah, I don't know. I think they I think they scam some 477 00:28:33,390 --> 00:28:35,310 government money, the deal, but I didn't notice that the 478 00:28:35,310 --> 00:28:37,830 government. Those were not nationalised railroad knows 479 00:28:37,890 --> 00:28:40,800 exactly when they were done. They were privately run. 480 00:28:40,860 --> 00:28:42,330 Thank you. It gets better. 481 00:28:43,259 --> 00:28:46,919 That's how we've made possible scientific research that led to 482 00:28:46,919 --> 00:28:50,639 the medical breakthroughs and technological wonders. That s 483 00:28:50,639 --> 00:28:53,819 right. All of us take for granted now. That's right. 484 00:28:54,030 --> 00:28:57,360 That's right. Apple. Apple has the government to thank for the 485 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,630 iPhone, the technological marvel and the medical breakthroughs. 486 00:29:01,050 --> 00:29:02,100 That's just not true. 487 00:29:02,130 --> 00:29:05,100 And it gets the bell labs that invented the transistor, which 488 00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:08,550 is responsible for everything that we're doing. Yeah, yeah. Is 489 00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:10,680 a government run. That's all government, some government 490 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:10,980 money. 491 00:29:11,009 --> 00:29:13,139 Thank you, government. Thank you. Thank you. What 492 00:29:13,140 --> 00:29:14,790 he's saying is that the government would sneak some 493 00:29:14,790 --> 00:29:15,720 money in that maybe, 494 00:29:15,749 --> 00:29:18,089 maybe that's what maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Okay. I 495 00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:20,550 think you're totally misunderstanding a man. Okay. 496 00:29:21,060 --> 00:29:24,480 That's why we have social security. And a minimum wage. 497 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,110 I don't have no social security. You've stolen that from me. What 498 00:29:28,110 --> 00:29:31,380 are you talking about? There'll be nothing. There will be 499 00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:32,310 nothing for me 500 00:29:32,340 --> 00:29:37,260 laws to protect the food we eat. We drink and the air we breathe 501 00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:42,990 is a stump speech. 502 00:29:43,289 --> 00:29:49,469 Yeah, total stump speech. But the one that got me is an coming 503 00:29:49,469 --> 00:29:54,239 from a service. family background. This one just pissed 504 00:29:54,239 --> 00:29:57,779 me off.

This is very normal in the past, 545 00:32:04,860 --> 00:32:07,620 things like post traumatic stress disorder, we're really 546 00:32:07,620 --> 00:32:11,160 talked about. Now we're starting to talk about and we've actually 547 00:32:11,340 --> 00:32:12,090 now listened to 548 00:32:12,090 --> 00:32:14,940 this. As mentioned, talking about this for the last 40 549 00:32:14,940 --> 00:32:15,210 years, 550 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,760 no, I nice, but listen to what he says 551 00:32:17,790 --> 00:32:20,130 getting what we're doing for veterans, as well as active 552 00:32:20,130 --> 00:32:24,510 duty, this whole issue of post traumatic, post traumatic stress 553 00:32:24,510 --> 00:32:29,370 disorder, PTSD, we are really emphasising this and down, up 554 00:32:29,370 --> 00:32:32,520 and down the chain of command. We're saying people should not 555 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,700 be embarrassed about seeking out counselling in these. 556 00:32:37,050 --> 00:32:39,510 I'm embarrassed that I'm freaking out. 557 00:32:40,470 --> 00:32:44,850 situations. So that's point number one. Second point. Very 558 00:32:44,850 --> 00:32:49,110 good. Thank you. The second point you're making is there 559 00:32:49,110 --> 00:32:53,070 needs to be bad rest in between deployments. 560 00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:55,560 Need to rest a little bit. 561 00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:01,140 take a week off. PTO, we got to take it for a going back, take a 562 00:33:01,140 --> 00:33:04,260 week, take a week or take a week do some shopping. No, he's 563 00:33:04,290 --> 00:33:07,590 he's he's little did we know John, he's actually done 564 00:33:07,590 --> 00:33:08,880 something about this. 565 00:33:10,260 --> 00:33:13,560 I didn't know. And that's part of the reason why we actually 566 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:19,410 increased the number of Marines. The Army and Marines have really 567 00:33:19,410 --> 00:33:22,830 borne the biggest burden in terms of these very quick and 568 00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:25,200 rapid and stressful deployments. 569 00:33:25,230 --> 00:33:29,010 So part of the reason we sent over 30,000 more troops was so 570 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,220 some of them could get more rest. As a bull crap, 571 00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:34,980 I don't believe that I'd never heard that. No, it's new. 572 00:33:35,009 --> 00:33:37,589 That was for the surge. It was like to have more troops on the 573 00:33:37,589 --> 00:33:39,119 ground, not to give anyone any way to 574 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,860 get those dig that harvest finished. 575 00:33:41,249 --> 00:33:43,919 And what we've been saying is, let's start getting back to a 576 00:33:43,919 --> 00:33:51,029 point where there is ample time between deployments. And we are 577 00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:55,739 actually for the Marines. I think we were just about there. 578 00:33:56,129 --> 00:33:59,219 For the army. I think we've got another year before we get to 579 00:33:59,219 --> 00:34:01,319 where we want to be although, in another 580 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,660 year, you're supposed to be drawn down troops. My friend, 581 00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:07,140 July. Remember July 2011, is when you're supposed to bring 582 00:34:07,140 --> 00:34:07,710 people out 583 00:34:07,710 --> 00:34:10,260 you can take that to the bank face to that a lot more than it 584 00:34:10,260 --> 00:34:12,450 was for example, two years or three years ago. 585 00:34:14,430 --> 00:34:20,040 So I just found that Cavalier and rude and insensitive and 586 00:34:20,070 --> 00:34:20,670 dumb 587 00:34:21,450 --> 00:34:23,940 was like that Pete Stark clip that's going around the 588 00:34:23,940 --> 00:34:26,250 internet. What's that? I don't know which one that's on the 589 00:34:26,250 --> 00:34:31,110 blog. Go to my blog. You'll see it just if Stark, who is a local 590 00:34:31,110 --> 00:34:33,870 here in California should just basically had a little town hall 591 00:34:33,870 --> 00:34:35,820 meeting and started chewing out. Oh, no, I 592 00:34:35,820 --> 00:34:37,620 did see that. Yeah, of course. I've seen that. Yeah, I've 593 00:34:37,620 --> 00:34:39,900 actually put it in the show notes. Yeah, it's just crazy. 594 00:34:41,430 --> 00:34:42,060 Yeah, it's 595 00:34:42,690 --> 00:34:45,660 guys been around been in Congress for 37 years. He lived 596 00:34:45,660 --> 00:34:49,260 there doesn't eat represents Fremont, California. And he 597 00:34:49,260 --> 00:34:53,550 doesn't even he lives in Maryland. He has a townhouse 598 00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:57,870 that he you know, maintain some some little piano tear so he can 599 00:34:57,870 --> 00:35:02,400 still maintain his Fremont You know, qualifications, but he 600 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,740 lives in Maryland. He hasn't been he never cut shows up and 601 00:35:04,740 --> 00:35:08,790 then when he does show up, he just gets mad at everybody. So, 602 00:35:09,270 --> 00:35:11,430 I don't know, how did these guys keep getting reelected? I mean, 603 00:35:11,430 --> 00:35:14,760 the people of Fremont, Newark in the vicinity should be ashamed 604 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,480 of themselves for continually putting this jerk back in for 37 605 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:19,170 years. 606 00:35:20,340 --> 00:35:27,120 So, then I switch over to the Robert Gibbs show. God man C 607 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,270 span is so, so amazing. That guy 608 00:35:30,270 --> 00:35:33,960 needs like a theme song. Yep, Jeff Smith, 609 00:35:34,260 --> 00:35:40,620 do a Robert Smith. Robert. Robert Gibbs, here comes you 610 00:35:40,620 --> 00:35:42,810 know, you gotta be careful when you ask Him for that because he 611 00:35:42,810 --> 00:35:50,070 actually does that kind of stuff. You don't have to see, 612 00:35:50,850 --> 00:35:54,930 right. So on the Robert Gibbs show, a reporter in the 613 00:35:54,930 --> 00:35:58,860 audience, and I didn't know this was happening right now pipes up 614 00:35:58,860 --> 00:36:03,210 about the blood Goya witch trial. This is Mayor Rod 615 00:36:03,210 --> 00:36:08,190 Blagojevich who was a part of the Chicago cabal and was ousted 616 00:36:08,190 --> 00:36:10,650 for Dynamo he did something wrong. He was governor, 617 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,070 Governor. I'm sorry. Why say mayor, governor. He pissed 618 00:36:14,070 --> 00:36:17,880 somebody off. And she asked a question which just blew me away 619 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,660 because the whole thing is about the Senate seat and trading. He 620 00:36:21,660 --> 00:36:24,300 want I guess he wanted to go into the into the Obama 621 00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:26,940 administration. He got cut out. And he said, Oh, what I'm 622 00:36:26,940 --> 00:36:29,700 holding the Senate seat. And apparently that was supposed to 623 00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:32,640 be reserved for Valerie Jarrett, who is a special adviser to the 624 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:33,240 president. 625 00:36:33,630 --> 00:36:36,150 Yeah, he slipped in the information that he should pick 626 00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:38,850 her. So go ahead. We'll go ahead. You 627 00:36:38,850 --> 00:36:42,150 got this total? Yeah, here's a so here's what the reporter 628 00:36:42,150 --> 00:36:45,360 asked. She's reading it straight off of her Blackberry. So it's 629 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,970 coming straight from the Chicago trial reportings, which of 630 00:36:47,970 --> 00:36:49,140 course are not televised 631 00:36:49,350 --> 00:36:52,680 ballot office, a local labour leave. They were later in 632 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,310 Chicago and in testimony today, a little boy, this child he 633 00:36:56,310 --> 00:37:00,120 talks about a phone call that he got from Barak Obama on Monday 634 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,470 evening before the Tuesday election, which posts Mr. Obama 635 00:37:04,470 --> 00:37:09,630 is saying he thinks Valerie Jarrett should be United States 636 00:37:09,630 --> 00:37:13,260 senator that she fits the criteria. I would prefer that 637 00:37:13,260 --> 00:37:16,710 she remained working for President Obama. But she does 638 00:37:16,710 --> 00:37:21,120 want to be senator and offset he told the Senate to be president. 639 00:37:21,150 --> 00:37:23,190 I said thank you, I'm going to reach out to Governor 640 00:37:23,190 --> 00:37:24,750 Blagojevich with that. 641 00:37:24,780 --> 00:37:28,320 So So in case you couldn't hear it, because it's that crappy 642 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,530 audio they have in the press room. This is all about 643 00:37:31,530 --> 00:37:34,620 telephone calls and tapes and what the what the jury is 644 00:37:34,620 --> 00:37:36,840 allowed to hear and what Yeah, and a lot of these have been 645 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,950 sealed by the judge. So apparently Obama did call and 646 00:37:40,950 --> 00:37:43,500 said hey, you know, you got to get Valerie clarion 647 00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:48,090 call. He didn't call Blagojevich directly it called a, a, an 648 00:37:48,090 --> 00:37:51,540 associate. Right. And he gave him the message and but they 649 00:37:51,540 --> 00:37:55,620 won't let him play that because the Fed has a bunch of stuff 650 00:37:55,620 --> 00:37:58,890 that they're not letting into the letting the jurors here, 651 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,280 which says to me that, especially in a case like this, 652 00:38:02,430 --> 00:38:04,350 a corruption case like this, you really have to let everything 653 00:38:04,350 --> 00:38:07,650 play out. It says to me that the judge and the whole system 654 00:38:07,650 --> 00:38:10,860 Christmas, Chicago, they're railroading. Blagojevich. Yes. 655 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,240 And he screwed. Yeah. 656 00:38:12,270 --> 00:38:15,990 So here's back to the Robert Gibbs show. The President make 657 00:38:15,990 --> 00:38:16,560 that phone call. 658 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,010 Are you telling me about this testimony? I'm not going to get 659 00:38:20,010 --> 00:38:27,060 into commenting on obviously an ongoing an ongoing trial. And I 660 00:38:27,510 --> 00:38:28,950 have not had an opportunity to see 661 00:38:29,369 --> 00:38:33,509 before that the President did not get involved with the 662 00:38:34,439 --> 00:38:36,569 suggestions or the conversation. 663 00:38:37,530 --> 00:38:39,540 He's not gonna get into commenting on an ongoing trial. 664 00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:43,530 Shut up slave. So he said you said before the President didn't 665 00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:45,810 make any calls. And now there's a guy testifying that he did. 666 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,680 I'm not gonna get into that shut up slave. Next question. That's 667 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,300 essentially what what was said there? 668 00:38:51,510 --> 00:38:53,610 Yeah. Well, yeah. And and you expected What? 669 00:38:54,090 --> 00:38:56,790 No, I just wanted to point that out, because no one's talking 670 00:38:56,790 --> 00:39:00,420 about it. It's yeah, they don't talk about anything. And the 671 00:39:00,420 --> 00:39:09,360 President had a meeting meeting about, and this is what I really 672 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,210 uncovered, I think I think I figured out this whole cap and 673 00:39:12,210 --> 00:39:15,450 trade, how they're renaming it or what they're using to kind of 674 00:39:15,450 --> 00:39:21,330 slide that under the mat. The President had a meeting before a 675 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,260 another Senate Committee, which was taking place in some small 676 00:39:25,260 --> 00:39:28,710 back room, which I have some clips from, and it's about the 677 00:39:28,740 --> 00:39:34,770 carbon tax. And what in our dependence upon foreign oil. 678 00:39:34,770 --> 00:39:37,350 Another question from the Robert Gibbs show. What other 679 00:39:37,350 --> 00:39:39,930 approaches would he be open to specific? Well, look, 680 00:39:39,930 --> 00:39:45,660 I don't want to narrow or open up her legislative bidding from 681 00:39:45,660 --> 00:39:50,490 up here. The President reiterated his position that 682 00:39:51,390 --> 00:39:55,110 they're putting a price on carbon he believes is the right 683 00:39:55,110 --> 00:39:59,940 policy. I think science has shown why that's important. Oh, 684 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,840 So the sciences 685 00:40:05,670 --> 00:40:07,560 to say, you know, it's a fact. 686 00:40:07,740 --> 00:40:14,700 I do think that you, you had a you had a bipartisan group of 687 00:40:15,330 --> 00:40:20,970 legislators here who understand the need to move tax this 688 00:40:20,970 --> 00:40:23,790 legislation forward and get something done this year. And I 689 00:40:23,790 --> 00:40:27,060 think the President was hopeful after that meeting, that we can 690 00:40:27,060 --> 00:40:29,040 find common ground on a lot of different subjects. 691 00:40:30,179 --> 00:40:32,369 That the legislation can be passed this year. 692 00:40:32,460 --> 00:40:37,080 Yes. Yeah. It can be passed this year. Right. So I go looking for 693 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:45,780 this. And I find it it's the clear act, John, the clear Act, 694 00:40:46,260 --> 00:40:53,310 which has been around for, like, a couple years now. And so it's 695 00:40:53,310 --> 00:40:56,310 high, it's on, you know, it's like this weird committee 696 00:40:56,310 --> 00:41:03,960 hearing with our new head of the minerals. department, they 697 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,250 renamed that to the ocean law, something rather a collection. 698 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,830 Yeah, they get to keep renaming these things. So they become 699 00:41:10,830 --> 00:41:11,820 moving targets. 700 00:41:11,850 --> 00:41:13,980 Apparently, it hasn't even officially been renamed. So this 701 00:41:13,980 --> 00:41:19,050 guy is Brahma witch. And I think it was a week ago that we that 702 00:41:19,050 --> 00:41:22,320 he was up on the hill being questioned, the guy has not 703 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,060 left, he has not actually been to his agency. Because and I got 704 00:41:27,060 --> 00:41:29,790 to play this clip, I snipped a whole bunch of things together. 705 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,250 And you'll hear that he keeps saying, Well, I've only been on 706 00:41:32,250 --> 00:41:34,530 the job for a day only been on the job for eight days. I don't 707 00:41:34,530 --> 00:41:36,600 know, I've only been I can't answer any question. I've only 708 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,600 been on the job for eight days. But a couple of these 709 00:41:39,930 --> 00:41:42,660 representatives have not having any of it. And then it becomes 710 00:41:42,660 --> 00:41:46,470 very clear that this guy who's a lawyer, who has been a lawyer 711 00:41:46,470 --> 00:41:49,530 for the past 10 years, and a huge firm who was represented 712 00:41:49,530 --> 00:41:55,500 Big Oil clients, is only there to actually shepherd in great 713 00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:58,920 legislation for the oil companies, the guy knows nothing 714 00:41:58,950 --> 00:42:02,610 about energy other than how to fight in a court for oil 715 00:42:02,610 --> 00:42:06,840 companies. The clear act is what it's all about. And I if you're 716 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,030 interested, I can tell you a little bit about the clear act. 717 00:42:09,630 --> 00:42:13,500 But listen to this montage, which I put together of him not 718 00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:17,370 knowing anything, only being on the job for eight days, instead 719 00:42:17,370 --> 00:42:20,130 of saying, Hey, why am I doing doing this bullshit, not being 720 00:42:20,130 --> 00:42:22,740 able to answer your questions and go down and actually do some 721 00:42:22,740 --> 00:42:27,030 work in my agency, which I've just inherited? Now, you know, 722 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,750 I've only been on the job, I just gotta be up here and just 723 00:42:30,750 --> 00:42:33,120 got to stall while everything else is taking place. Listen to 724 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:33,960 the montage. 725 00:42:34,199 --> 00:42:38,939 I'll be very brief want to talk about three concrete things that 726 00:42:38,939 --> 00:42:42,809 have been done in the in the eight days that I have now been 727 00:42:43,199 --> 00:42:46,379 on the job as the head of the agency? The short answer is I 728 00:42:46,379 --> 00:42:46,949 don't know. 729 00:42:47,009 --> 00:42:49,679 I know you've been there eight days. So whether or not not not 730 00:42:49,679 --> 00:42:52,169 eight full days? Yeah. Seven and a half, seven 731 00:42:52,170 --> 00:42:54,900 and a half? All right. The answer is I don't know whether 732 00:42:54,900 --> 00:42:57,030 it's necessary. I don't know what the view, will you 733 00:42:57,060 --> 00:42:59,850 take a review of that, as we're looking at this and get back to 734 00:42:59,850 --> 00:43:00,630 us? Absolutely. 735 00:43:00,660 --> 00:43:03,240 I can't give you a detailed answer to that. I look forward 736 00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:08,280 to working with whether there are whether there are reasons 737 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,760 why it's not as good an idea as it sounds like to me, I don't 738 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:12,930 know, on the Jones 739 00:43:12,930 --> 00:43:17,190 Act itself. Why is it that the administration has not waived 740 00:43:17,220 --> 00:43:20,730 that act so that additional resources can be brought to bear 741 00:43:20,730 --> 00:43:21,210 on the problem? 742 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,699 I don't know the answer that you may have lost your answer. When 743 00:43:23,699 --> 00:43:26,249 Secretary Salazar left I really don't know the answer to that. 744 00:43:26,429 --> 00:43:29,579 One of the disadvantages of being a freshman. Thank you. 745 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,600 Mister problem which you're the head of the Bureau of Ocean 746 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,320 Energy. What experience do you have in ocean energy, 747 00:43:37,350 --> 00:43:41,520 I don't have any experience in ocean energy. I do have some 748 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,510 experience in the energy sector. I represented a number of energy 749 00:43:45,510 --> 00:43:51,000 clients on non ocean related matters during my last 10 plus 750 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,740 years of of law practice. 751 00:43:53,010 --> 00:43:56,940 I also find it interesting that this bill that's supposed to be 752 00:43:56,940 --> 00:44:01,440 dealing with a national crisis in the Gulf of Mexico, changes 753 00:44:01,470 --> 00:44:06,450 on shortly sales to a sealed bid bid process removing the ability 754 00:44:06,450 --> 00:44:11,910 to use live auction bids. Interestingly, you did away with 755 00:44:11,940 --> 00:44:16,020 the relative and kind programme which used a sealed bid process 756 00:44:16,020 --> 00:44:20,430 whereas onshore used a live auction, and now you're taking 757 00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:25,170 the bid process that was used in royalty and kind and applying it 758 00:44:25,530 --> 00:44:29,100 to the onshore in a bill that's supposed to deal with the 759 00:44:29,100 --> 00:44:34,230 national crisis in the Gulf of Mexico. Fascinating. Well, I, 760 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,650 again, might say on the job, I haven't read the clear act. I 761 00:44:37,650 --> 00:44:39,630 don't know what the specific requirements are that are 762 00:44:39,630 --> 00:44:42,780 contemplated in the clear act. So I really can't speak to the 763 00:44:42,780 --> 00:44:45,960 disconnect or sensing. I'm happy to come back later on when I'm 764 00:44:46,380 --> 00:44:49,950 better informed on this specific provisions in the clear act, but 765 00:44:49,950 --> 00:44:52,950 I'm really not able to help you today. And just so you know, my 766 00:44:52,950 --> 00:44:55,410 inclination is to be as transparent as possible on 767 00:44:55,410 --> 00:44:56,280 almost everything. 768 00:44:58,830 --> 00:45:02,250 It's very obvious to Me, the clear act is how they're going 769 00:45:02,250 --> 00:45:06,570 to do it is how they're going to bring in carbon taxes. And this 770 00:45:06,570 --> 00:45:10,470 guy is only brought in to make it happen. And it's really going 771 00:45:10,470 --> 00:45:14,820 to benefit only the largest, the absolute largest of all oil 772 00:45:14,820 --> 00:45:19,170 companies. He's a complete shill. And all he's doing is 773 00:45:19,170 --> 00:45:21,540 just sitting up there on the hill. He's not he's not managing 774 00:45:21,540 --> 00:45:25,080 anything. He hasn't gone down. It was fascinating testimony two 775 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,920 and a half hours and I could pull clips all day from it. But 776 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:33,450 you want to you want there's so this clear Act was introduced by 777 00:45:33,450 --> 00:45:40,290 Maria Cantwell. Who is what is she? I don't know where she's 778 00:45:40,290 --> 00:45:43,080 from. Do you want to hear their little promo video from the 779 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,430 clear act? What is supposed to be? 780 00:45:44,909 --> 00:45:46,979 Yeah, might as well. Okay, here we go. 781 00:45:49,290 --> 00:45:52,380 Carbon limits and energy for America's renewable act is what 782 00:45:52,380 --> 00:45:53,370 clear stands for. 783 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,420 The Clean Air Act is a bipartisan clean energy bill 784 00:45:57,420 --> 00:46:00,090 introduced last December by Senators maria cantwell of 785 00:46:00,090 --> 00:46:03,420 Washington and Susan Collins of Maine. Unlike lengthy 786 00:46:03,420 --> 00:46:06,330 legislation that can be complicated to understand, the 787 00:46:06,330 --> 00:46:10,050 Clean Air Act addresses climate change simply in just 39 pages. 788 00:46:10,380 --> 00:46:13,680 These 39 pages will jumpstart our clean energy economy by 789 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:18,330 going directly to the source fossil fuel producers. First, a 790 00:46:18,330 --> 00:46:20,610 limit is placed on all the carbon that these producers 791 00:46:20,610 --> 00:46:24,150 introduce into the economy, then they will need to bid at an 792 00:46:24,150 --> 00:46:27,780 auction for carbon shares, permits to continue to sell 793 00:46:27,780 --> 00:46:30,690 their product. As the number of carbon shares are gradually 794 00:46:30,690 --> 00:46:33,510 reduced. Carbon dioxide emissions will steadily and 795 00:46:33,510 --> 00:46:38,250 consistently go down as well. co2 emissions over 80% By the 796 00:46:38,250 --> 00:46:40,770 year 2050. This mandate reduce 797 00:46:41,100 --> 00:46:44,310 what do you moaning about? I'm just saying this is bullcrap. 798 00:46:44,310 --> 00:46:46,380 Well, this is the one this is this is what it's going to be 799 00:46:46,380 --> 00:46:46,740 carbon 800 00:46:46,740 --> 00:46:49,170 will create a predictable market signal for clean forms of 801 00:46:49,170 --> 00:46:51,990 energy. That's just a fancy way of saying that using clean 802 00:46:51,990 --> 00:46:55,080 energy will be incentivized for the American people. This 803 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,900 process will harness the power of the free market, not 804 00:46:57,900 --> 00:47:01,230 government to find the least cost technology solutions and 805 00:47:01,230 --> 00:47:03,750 protect the energy market from volatile Wall Street Style 806 00:47:03,750 --> 00:47:05,820 trading or even manipulation. 807 00:47:06,090 --> 00:47:09,000 Now pay attention because here comes the part that I don't 808 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:14,700 really understand the auction revenues. It's the 175 50 25% 809 00:47:14,700 --> 00:47:17,520 rule. I don't get it. Maybe you can help me understand 810 00:47:17,610 --> 00:47:21,090 what happens to all the auction revenues. Think of the clear act 811 00:47:21,090 --> 00:47:26,970 is 175 25 Zero policy 100% of the permits to bring fossil 812 00:47:26,970 --> 00:47:30,480 fuels into the US economy will be auctioned from day one. There 813 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,590 are no windfalls for historic polluters. 75% of the auction 814 00:47:34,590 --> 00:47:37,950 revenue is returned directly to each American as equal monthly 815 00:47:37,950 --> 00:47:41,340 dividends. Every low and middle income family will come out 816 00:47:41,340 --> 00:47:44,250 ahead or break even as a result of the dividend covering their 817 00:47:44,250 --> 00:47:48,240 increased energy costs no matter what state they live in. But 818 00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:52,470 what about the other 25% of the auction revenue that 25% of the 819 00:47:52,470 --> 00:47:55,590 dividend is devoted to investments in clean energy in 820 00:47:55,590 --> 00:47:59,160 jobs to build our clean energy economy and in the agricultural 821 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,290 and forestry communities to encourage environmentally 822 00:48:01,290 --> 00:48:02,520 friendly practices. 823 00:48:02,550 --> 00:48:04,740 So I guess, okay, okay, here here, 824 00:48:04,770 --> 00:48:08,640 here's what I'm thinking. Okay. So, for some reason, they're 825 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:15,300 gonna charge a tax, or so called auction revenue. Yeah. 10 bucks, 826 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:20,850 right, or just say $10 A barrel per tonne to these guys. The 827 00:48:20,850 --> 00:48:24,780 $100 a barrel, the $100 will be patent will actually be passed 828 00:48:24,780 --> 00:48:27,360 on to the consumer, if you think about it, right or the exhaust 829 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,660 so you'll be paying 100 bucks, but the government's gonna give 830 00:48:30,660 --> 00:48:36,510 you 75 bucks of that back. But that means you're out $25 That 831 00:48:36,510 --> 00:48:39,300 you're supposed to be gaining in this deal. You're losing 25 832 00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:41,160 bucks because you're going to have it all handed back to you. 833 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,150 Anyway, this is bowl this is just to talk about a shell game. 834 00:48:45,210 --> 00:48:49,140 Yeah, it's exactly it's like a pyramid. It's like the guy 835 00:48:49,140 --> 00:48:51,510 was on the tail with the two or three walnut shells in his 836 00:48:51,510 --> 00:48:54,750 little pea Rhona back and forth. This is crap. So the way I saw 837 00:48:54,750 --> 00:48:57,870 that was the tax and other data gateway. You know, here's the 838 00:48:57,870 --> 00:49:00,090 problem. I was gonna rent a car I'm gonna go up to Washington. 839 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,090 And I'm looking at it's gonna cost me 180 bucks for a week. 840 00:49:03,450 --> 00:49:08,160 That's cheap. Yeah, it is cheap, but that doesn't end there. Oh, 841 00:49:09,149 --> 00:49:13,409 notice the total price is $300 Yeah, it's because of all this 842 00:49:13,409 --> 00:49:16,499 artists. It's like a daily fee I have to pay a fee for having the 843 00:49:16,499 --> 00:49:19,289 car on the road instead of in the lot where it makes no money. 844 00:49:19,559 --> 00:49:22,499 There's a there's a tax on the gun the rental and then there's 845 00:49:22,499 --> 00:49:25,769 another tax called a rental tax on top of the sales tax. And 846 00:49:25,769 --> 00:49:28,499 there's one thing after another and it's almost the entire cost 847 00:49:28,709 --> 00:49:31,859 that they quote you is like it's almost doubled because of all 848 00:49:31,859 --> 00:49:34,319 these hidden too and these are taxes by the way, these are all 849 00:49:34,319 --> 00:49:37,859 taxes were taxed. You go to the airport, you take a plane ride 850 00:49:37,859 --> 00:49:40,319 someplace, you're taxed. You're taxed at the airport, there's an 851 00:49:40,319 --> 00:49:42,959 airport fee there's this fee there's so that these are called 852 00:49:42,959 --> 00:49:45,989 fees, but they're actually taxes because they go into some they 853 00:49:45,989 --> 00:49:48,449 go into some government coffers someplace you're not going into 854 00:49:48,449 --> 00:49:50,729 the pockets of the guys, you know that are running the 855 00:49:50,729 --> 00:49:52,769 airlines, that's for sure. And it's not it's coming right out 856 00:49:52,769 --> 00:49:56,549 of my pocket. And this is what's going on they're just trying to 857 00:49:56,549 --> 00:49:59,429 they can't taxes anymore. Because you know, we used to 858 00:49:59,429 --> 00:50:02,279 brag about oh In the lowest tax countries in the world is bull. 859 00:50:02,549 --> 00:50:05,009 But they always always so low tax, we don't ever look at the 860 00:50:05,009 --> 00:50:10,409 highest anyone pays 35%. And all that kind of tax. We're paying 861 00:50:10,409 --> 00:50:13,169 about 70% Because every time we turn around, we're taxed on 862 00:50:13,169 --> 00:50:16,529 something else. We're taxed for our food. We're taxed for milk 863 00:50:16,709 --> 00:50:20,399 we're taxed for and then the dairies are taxed for, you know, 864 00:50:20,399 --> 00:50:23,489 spilling milk. I mean, the whole thing is, it's just we're taxed 865 00:50:23,489 --> 00:50:26,369 to death and so they have to make get more taxes. And what 866 00:50:26,369 --> 00:50:29,099 are they doing with this money, they can't even fix the potholes 867 00:50:29,099 --> 00:50:29,609 out here. 868 00:50:30,630 --> 00:50:33,060 On the freeway, do the potholes thing again, 869 00:50:33,540 --> 00:50:36,000 if you're in the slow lane, you might as well just get a new car 870 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:41,040 by the time you drive three miles. John sees for X day. 871 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:44,280 That's been your pet peeve over the month. 872 00:50:45,210 --> 00:50:47,730 Sticking with until they fix these potholes are all over the 873 00:50:47,730 --> 00:50:50,220 place. I wanted to here's the challenge for anybody out there 874 00:50:50,220 --> 00:50:52,530 in the living in the car company through the San Francisco Bay 875 00:50:52,530 --> 00:50:57,540 Area. Come off if you're heading on East Highway at Ellison from 876 00:50:57,540 --> 00:51:00,960 San Francisco from the South Bay or anyplace else get off yet to 877 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,350 be heading east by the way to get the full effect. Get off on 878 00:51:04,380 --> 00:51:07,800 Emeryville, the Emeryville exit and then just head to the Trader 879 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,880 Joe's it's over there, you will hit a patch of road you'd swear 880 00:51:12,630 --> 00:51:16,050 was in Mexico some place it might as well be a dirt road, 881 00:51:16,170 --> 00:51:18,960 I'm gonna make a movie of this, this is so bad. It's 882 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,810 unbelievable. This road is just like it's a mess. 883 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:27,510 So anyway, I believe we need to keep our eye on the clear act. 884 00:51:27,570 --> 00:51:31,680 This is the cap and trade and this Bromwich jabroni has been 885 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,920 brought in to shepherd it through he's a lawyer. He 886 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,090 doesn't know anything 887 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,330 about just being long enough to get this thing passed. 888 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,510 That's right. He's just a lawyer and you look at him and he has 889 00:51:42,510 --> 00:51:50,220 this smug look on his face. It's just so what was pretty cool is 890 00:51:50,250 --> 00:51:57,690 President Clinton was on a CNN fortune Time Magazine panel. And 891 00:51:57,990 --> 00:52:01,680 he was asked about you know, all this anti Obama your the Obama 892 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,130 hate, even the people who voted for him are now pissed off that 893 00:52:05,130 --> 00:52:08,310 he's not doing anything. Clintons kind of defending him 894 00:52:08,310 --> 00:52:10,890 saying, you know, the guy can't win either way. You know, it's 895 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,610 people hate you when their own lives are no good. And then he, 896 00:52:15,510 --> 00:52:18,960 yeah, it's great. It's great. And then I actually I clipped 897 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,930 that part out because the other stuff was just two men will have 898 00:52:21,930 --> 00:52:25,830 to stop a couple times in this clip. He has the solution for 899 00:52:25,830 --> 00:52:29,160 the well, but then, and it's too bad. You're not seeing the video 900 00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:34,500 when he talks about this. This gusher in the Gulf, his eyes 901 00:52:34,500 --> 00:52:39,450 light up, man. It's freaky to see how how pleased he is with 902 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,760 with the amount of oil that's coming out. But of course, he 903 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,850 has all the solutions. And he knows exactly how he would do it 904 00:52:44,850 --> 00:52:45,840 if he were still president. 905 00:52:46,530 --> 00:52:49,860 I think today, I'm sorry. play that clip. Let me mention 906 00:52:49,860 --> 00:52:52,200 something that was kind of interesting this week. Okay. Is 907 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,830 that involved Clinton. So we have this situation where 908 00:52:55,830 --> 00:52:58,980 Clinton apparently has endorsed a couple of candidates around 909 00:52:58,980 --> 00:53:02,190 the country that are in direct conflict with Obama's 910 00:53:02,190 --> 00:53:05,790 endorsements. I didn't know that. Oh, yeah. And it's a big 911 00:53:05,790 --> 00:53:08,910 deal. So the next thing, you know, you see a picture of 912 00:53:08,910 --> 00:53:14,580 Clinton apparently meeting with in Russia with Medvedev, no, no, 913 00:53:14,580 --> 00:53:18,990 the other guy, the boss, Putin, Putin. Yeah. And so he's meeting 914 00:53:18,990 --> 00:53:22,200 with Putin, as Medvedev, of course, is Medvedev is floating 915 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,470 around the US. And I guess he took off. And then while pretty 916 00:53:25,470 --> 00:53:28,770 much Wow, Clinton was sitting down with Putin, not quite, but 917 00:53:28,770 --> 00:53:32,220 you know, they showed it that when all the news shows, they 918 00:53:32,220 --> 00:53:36,750 break up this huge right ring, Spy Ring, with Clinton sitting 919 00:53:36,750 --> 00:53:43,560 there in Moscow. Having to deal with this. And so I'm thinking 920 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,200 that you know, and of course, ever Well, we have no way of 921 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:51,030 knowing what the FBI or anybody is doing. It just a coincidence 922 00:53:51,300 --> 00:53:54,360 that, you know, we have all these situations happening when 923 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,060 they happen because there's there's a there's a Chinese wall 924 00:53:57,060 --> 00:53:59,910 between the, you know, the government can't be involved, as 925 00:53:59,910 --> 00:54:02,940 if nobody's tipped anybody off or told them to do this or that 926 00:54:02,940 --> 00:54:04,650 the whole thing just stinks. 927 00:54:05,369 --> 00:54:09,479 The let me tell you one thing I have on good authority. Every 928 00:54:09,479 --> 00:54:13,229 country has spies in other countries. And there's two types 929 00:54:13,229 --> 00:54:17,219 of spies, the registered spies and the unregistered spies. It's 930 00:54:17,249 --> 00:54:21,749 I know it sounds crazy. But we know which Russian operatives 931 00:54:21,749 --> 00:54:25,379 which are registered are in the United States. And I believe 932 00:54:25,379 --> 00:54:28,739 that this was probably one of those rings. 933 00:54:29,429 --> 00:54:31,139 They said they were unregistered. They made a big 934 00:54:31,139 --> 00:54:34,679 point of that. And the course the fact of the matter is they 935 00:54:34,679 --> 00:54:36,899 didn't have to do anything because these people weren't 936 00:54:36,899 --> 00:54:39,959 doing anything there was no espionage charges and they 937 00:54:39,959 --> 00:54:42,779 couldn't kept an eye on them as long you know, knowing that they 938 00:54:42,779 --> 00:54:44,969 what they know it's easier to follow them around and see 939 00:54:44,969 --> 00:54:47,519 what's going on. You can kind of put together networks and figure 940 00:54:47,519 --> 00:54:50,759 things out. That's how you would normally not bust them. So 941 00:54:50,759 --> 00:54:53,459 meanwhile they busted I'm just because Clinton was over there 942 00:54:53,489 --> 00:54:55,769 to embarrass the guy. They're really they really are getting 943 00:54:55,769 --> 00:54:57,839 there's a battle going on between Clinton are 944 00:54:58,260 --> 00:55:01,920 interesting. Okay, I like that. Take, they have, they did pull 945 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,820 an extra little benefit out of it. Wired Magazine, of course, 946 00:55:05,820 --> 00:55:10,590 which I'm quite suspicious of them and the stuff the articles 947 00:55:10,590 --> 00:55:15,900 they post. Now they're saying that this alleged spy ring was 948 00:55:15,930 --> 00:55:19,890 posting all their secret messages encoded on public 949 00:55:19,890 --> 00:55:24,270 websites and images. And you have to overlay a different type 950 00:55:24,270 --> 00:55:27,900 of filter in Photoshop, and then you got maps of airports and all 951 00:55:27,900 --> 00:55:28,890 kinds of stuff that's 952 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,350 bold crap. I mean, they're talking about steganography 953 00:55:31,350 --> 00:55:35,130 actually, which is a type of encryption, but you can just go 954 00:55:35,130 --> 00:55:40,260 and run P PGP and get in a chat room and tell anybody anything 955 00:55:40,260 --> 00:55:43,860 you want nowadays, this is bold. Nobody's doing drop boxes and 956 00:55:43,860 --> 00:55:44,730 all the rest of it 957 00:55:44,790 --> 00:55:49,050 now they're just using it to you know push the agenda of licenced 958 00:55:49,050 --> 00:55:51,000 internet as the way I felt it was going 959 00:55:51,119 --> 00:55:54,599 I think it was just make it seem more spy like 960 00:55:56,940 --> 00:56:01,140 a lot of information though. Well, now that you're on that I 961 00:56:01,140 --> 00:56:04,080 might, I might as well play this clip from CNN before I get to 962 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:08,430 Clinton because I just like wow, CNN knows everything about this. 963 00:56:08,940 --> 00:56:13,980 Oh, hold on a second. It's slow to load for some reason. News, 964 00:56:13,980 --> 00:56:19,560 New arrest in Russian deep cover case. You go. This is pretty 965 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,790 astounding. Come on CNN. Hurry up. And don't give me a pre roll 966 00:56:23,790 --> 00:56:24,840 or kick your ass. 967 00:56:27,119 --> 00:56:28,259 It goes to pre roll. 968 00:56:28,290 --> 00:56:31,110 No, no, no, no, CNN is slow. 969 00:56:31,139 --> 00:56:32,939 I saw a great pre roll here. This 970 00:56:32,940 --> 00:56:36,450 is about encrypted computer messages, drop points and secret 971 00:56:36,450 --> 00:56:39,840 meetings. The 11 people accused of being spies are described as 972 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,440 Russian intelligence operatives whose goal was to recruit people 973 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:47,850 in the US government or people with access to policymaking, 974 00:56:48,030 --> 00:56:49,620 according to the criminal complaint, 975 00:56:49,679 --> 00:56:53,279 like a lobbyist firm. Nothing new about that. 976 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,580 An intercepted message makes clear the men and women some of 977 00:56:56,580 --> 00:56:59,730 them using the names of dead people were given bank accounts, 978 00:56:59,730 --> 00:57:02,460 cars and houses and were expected to send back 979 00:57:02,460 --> 00:57:05,700 intelligence reports among the alleged spies, a longtime 980 00:57:05,700 --> 00:57:09,270 columnist for Spanish language newspaper LDR. You and her 981 00:57:09,270 --> 00:57:12,120 husband both arrested there Yonkers, New York 982 00:57:12,119 --> 00:57:14,999 and Yonkers, New York. Let me tell you, when you live in New 983 00:57:14,999 --> 00:57:17,519 York, the big joke is no one lives in Yonkers. 984 00:57:18,690 --> 00:57:21,510 Now, it's a hotbed of spy apparently, 985 00:57:22,020 --> 00:57:24,930 searched Monday. According to the complaint, the spy set of 986 00:57:24,930 --> 00:57:28,200 secret ad hoc computer networks and transferred information 987 00:57:28,350 --> 00:57:32,370 between computers at specific designated times. In one case, 988 00:57:32,370 --> 00:57:35,640 an alleged spy set up her computer to send encrypted data 989 00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,150 at a coffee shop near Times Square, and official with ties 990 00:57:39,150 --> 00:57:43,200 to listen to the UN was in the area at that same time, 991 00:57:43,230 --> 00:57:47,520 apparently receiving the coded information. Washington DC a US 992 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,850 undercover agent posing as a Russian met with another alleged 993 00:57:50,850 --> 00:57:53,970 spy in a local park. The undercover agent gave the 994 00:57:53,970 --> 00:57:58,860 accused spot Mikhail Samento $5,000 to leave at a secret drop 995 00:57:58,860 --> 00:58:01,470 point under a bridge in Arlington, Virginia, which he 996 00:58:01,470 --> 00:58:03,060 did. How does she know all 997 00:58:03,060 --> 00:58:07,680 this? Yeah, it is this bullcrap. I hope that our listeners are 998 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:11,280 laughing out loud, better boys are being unfolded. Yeah, 999 00:58:11,340 --> 00:58:15,450 this is just crazy. I think you're right. I think it is to 1000 00:58:15,450 --> 00:58:19,110 embarrass clean is probably Clinton's spy ring he knew about 1001 00:58:20,070 --> 00:58:22,920 maybe All right. So let's let's listen to bill for a second. 1002 00:58:23,219 --> 00:58:25,469 I think the federal government's position ought to be very 1003 00:58:25,469 --> 00:58:28,709 straightforward. Most important thing is to fix leaks. Anybody 1004 00:58:28,709 --> 00:58:31,619 can help us fix leak, I'm for it. Hey, what 1005 00:58:31,619 --> 00:58:33,869 happened ideas, how to fix the leak. 1006 00:58:33,900 --> 00:58:36,180 Second most important thing is to keep the oil away from the 1007 00:58:36,180 --> 00:58:39,450 shores. The third most important thing is to minimise the damage 1008 00:58:39,450 --> 00:58:41,850 of the oil that reaches the shores. The fourth most 1009 00:58:41,850 --> 00:58:45,570 important thing today is to figure out who did what wrong 1010 00:58:45,570 --> 00:58:47,520 and hold them accountable whether it was somebody in 1011 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,700 British Petroleum or somebody in the US government. 1012 00:58:50,730 --> 00:58:54,210 So it's exactly the opposite. Now, this is exactly the 1013 00:58:54,210 --> 00:58:56,610 opposite of what's happening is we've got Brahma which up there 1014 00:58:56,610 --> 00:58:58,500 and everyone's saying, How did it happen? How to happen out how 1015 00:58:58,500 --> 00:59:00,630 to how to happen out what we've done nothing but how did it 1016 00:59:00,630 --> 00:59:02,820 happen? How to happen? Nothing to fix it. 1017 00:59:03,810 --> 00:59:06,240 And I'll do that. But let's do one, two and three first, all 1018 00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:07,890 right. And then 1019 00:59:08,250 --> 00:59:12,540 by the way, his mouth is like it's really like sticky. It's 1020 00:59:12,540 --> 00:59:13,680 kind of geeky. He doesn't 1021 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,710 yell at you. He's got he's got you really doesn't doesn't look 1022 00:59:16,740 --> 00:59:20,610 always assign a heroin users. Not really sure. Do you find 1023 00:59:20,610 --> 00:59:22,170 somebody you know, you see somebody talking. They 1024 00:59:22,170 --> 00:59:23,580 constantly have white 1025 00:59:23,610 --> 00:59:25,470 white strings in their mind strings. 1026 00:59:27,150 --> 00:59:31,470 Heroin, heroin junkie, Franklin, you never know. Well, you never 1027 00:59:31,470 --> 00:59:32,310 know C should 1028 00:59:32,310 --> 00:59:35,850 show empathy. And yes, he should feel their pain and all that. 1029 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,690 But what people want is to fix the leak. So one of the best 1030 00:59:39,690 --> 00:59:43,710 things that they've done is to deploy massive naval and Coast 1031 00:59:43,710 --> 00:59:46,470 Guard resources and finally start taking help from other 1032 00:59:46,470 --> 00:59:47,160 countries, 1033 00:59:47,399 --> 00:59:50,159 which is not true because we just heard that in the Brahma 1034 00:59:50,159 --> 00:59:55,379 witch discussion that the Jones Act is still enacted and foreign 1035 00:59:55,379 --> 00:59:56,069 help is not being 1036 00:59:56,580 --> 00:59:59,760 this is Clinton giving the needle to Obama Exactly. 1037 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,840 But unless we send the Navy down deep to blow up, the will blow 1038 01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:07,830 up the Wow, 1039 01:00:07,830 --> 01:00:10,440 here we go. This is what the Russians did when it happened to 1040 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:10,800 them 1041 01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,180 and cover the leak with piles and piles and piles of rock and 1042 01:00:15,180 --> 01:00:19,560 debris, which may become necessary. You don't have to use 1043 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,450 nuclear weapons. By the way, I've seen all that stuff, 1044 01:00:21,570 --> 01:00:27,240 hey, I don't know, nukes, hey, that's just stupid. I got t and 1045 01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,040 t in my back pocket that can do that is 1046 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,430 blow less, we're gonna do that. We are dependent on the 1047 01:00:32,430 --> 01:00:35,940 technical expertise to these people from BP. They have 11 of 1048 01:00:35,940 --> 01:00:39,240 their folks killed on that explosion. The people that are 1049 01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,330 working on this, whatever the managers did wrong or didn't, 1050 01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,600 they're good people, they're trying to do the right thing. So 1051 01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,120 I think we ought to distro in the same boat for a while. So we 1052 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:52,290 plug the leak, keep the stuff away from the shore minimise the 1053 01:00:52,290 --> 01:00:55,650 damage of what's on the shore. There are 20,000 Vietnamese 1054 01:00:55,650 --> 01:00:59,070 immigrants who came to this country who are making a living 1055 01:00:59,070 --> 01:01:01,920 off their shrimping business, all of whom are thinking about 1056 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:06,570 their family facing bankruptcy now, let's just fix the problem. 1057 01:01:07,350 --> 01:01:08,820 And then we 1058 01:01:08,850 --> 01:01:11,520 wait. I'm just saying I think we've heard enough. 1059 01:01:12,659 --> 01:01:15,239 I want you to come on up and wait to hear about him talking 1060 01:01:15,239 --> 01:01:16,919 about the well it's necessary. 1061 01:01:16,980 --> 01:01:19,890 He's he's definitely giving it to Obama in this talk. 1062 01:01:19,949 --> 01:01:24,899 Well, but he's also completely invested in BP and the success 1063 01:01:24,899 --> 01:01:28,109 of the of the oil company you'll hear you'll hear Listen, 1064 01:01:28,949 --> 01:01:32,639 hold everybody accountable and a moat are not a moat or whatever. 1065 01:01:32,879 --> 01:01:35,159 But I think the President's gotten a bum rap on this. 1066 01:01:35,459 --> 01:01:38,039 Mountain. Do I think's a mountain? Do you got to be who 1067 01:01:38,039 --> 01:01:41,219 you are, you got to be who you feel comfortable with? And 1068 01:01:41,219 --> 01:01:43,919 whatever your personality is. It is. 1069 01:01:45,690 --> 01:01:49,320 It's funny, right? We're douchey you're a douche. But 1070 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,740 I don't find him lacking in empathy just because he doesn't 1071 01:01:52,740 --> 01:01:56,520 blow his top. It's the slightest provocation. I think it's a bum 1072 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:56,910 rap. 1073 01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,290 Just one clarification. Are you concerned that those two relief 1074 01:02:01,290 --> 01:02:02,760 wells that they're drilling right as 1075 01:02:02,759 --> 01:02:05,819 Wolf Wolf Blitzer Now listen, now?

I 1080 01:02:16,290 --> 01:02:18,330 just did not enter this. You know, I'm not being part of the 1081 01:02:18,330 --> 01:02:21,120 decision making process. So I'm not second guessing anybody. I'm 1082 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:25,530 just telling you. This is a geological monster. And I'll 1083 01:02:25,530 --> 01:02:28,710 tell you one thing, whoever did deciding for BP knew what the 1084 01:02:28,710 --> 01:02:32,010 heck they were doing. It's one heck of an oil well. There's 1085 01:02:32,010 --> 01:02:36,360 more oil down there than I ever dreamed. And it can't wait to 1086 01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,180 find its way into your car because it just keeps gushing 1087 01:02:39,180 --> 01:02:39,450 up. 1088 01:02:40,590 --> 01:02:45,930 And it doesn't love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. He's so he's 1089 01:02:45,930 --> 01:02:49,530 so in on this and his eyes are like it's a Gusher. It's a 1090 01:02:49,530 --> 01:02:52,710 Gaucher. It can't wait to get in your car.

So he's 1093 01:02:58,619 --> 01:03:02,369 still giving it to Obama and you know, in an offhanded way, no 1094 01:03:02,369 --> 01:03:05,069 other guys, you know, they used to bum rap that he's got no 1095 01:03:05,069 --> 01:03:09,599 personality.

Um, but there's as long as we 1185 01:09:07,980 --> 01:09:10,920 get a plug in I'm a happy camper. Okay, cool. So let's 1186 01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,530 look at something that we got an email from somebody and I 1187 01:09:13,530 --> 01:09:16,860 started this has kind of screwed me up because it came in late 1188 01:09:16,860 --> 01:09:19,560 and now it's gonna be like a two parter. I'm gonna have to go 1189 01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:23,970 look into this deeper but there's this operation you can 1190 01:09:23,970 --> 01:09:29,700 look at look at it called Fenton communications. They are a 1191 01:09:30,900 --> 01:09:33,900 they're kind of their left wing equivalent they're viguerie does 1192 01:09:33,900 --> 01:09:37,380 this for the right but these people are they they are big PR 1193 01:09:37,380 --> 01:09:40,470 agency huge actually the biggest that are always involved in 1194 01:09:40,470 --> 01:09:44,160 public policy is bigger than the Hill and Knowlton well for for 1195 01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:51,270 this or for left wing specific targeted left wing initiatives. 1196 01:09:51,540 --> 01:09:54,900 They're the biggest in the in the world in terms of you know, 1197 01:09:54,900 --> 01:09:58,920 doing stuff for big governments. They're small potatoes compared 1198 01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,200 to Hill and Knowlton. But right now They're apparently working 1199 01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:06,420 for Qatar as part of a disinformation campaign to 1200 01:10:06,450 --> 01:10:11,670 defame Israel. Oh, and this is kind of typical of you know, 1201 01:10:11,670 --> 01:10:14,730 what we heard from Melanie Phillips in the couple of shows 1202 01:10:14,730 --> 01:10:16,950 ago where she says all these left wing groups have a lot in 1203 01:10:16,950 --> 01:10:21,720 common with Islamist is that they all hate the Jews. And of 1204 01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,270 course, we got a bunch of mail about this. And so let me read 1205 01:10:24,270 --> 01:10:30,240 to you from from a blog called Fresnos zionism.org. And so 1206 01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,280 after I read this for the first time, well, you know, this is 1207 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,250 undocumented. But a lot of this is documented, there is actually 1208 01:10:35,250 --> 01:10:38,340 some paperwork, showing that they've signed up to be a 1209 01:10:38,340 --> 01:10:42,930 foreign agent, on behalf of a website that you can look at 1210 01:10:42,930 --> 01:10:48,240 called for horror.org, which is in Qatar, and it's run by the 1211 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:52,110 second wife, this is because the wife of the of the of the ruler, 1212 01:10:52,110 --> 01:10:54,630 but he's she's actually the second of three wives, she's the 1213 01:10:54,630 --> 01:11:00,570 middle one. And it's fa khora.org. And this is 1214 01:11:00,570 --> 01:11:05,370 presumably a an operation that is supposed to be involved with 1215 01:11:05,370 --> 01:11:08,730 giving kids scholarships. And it seems that most of the 1216 01:11:08,730 --> 01:11:12,660 scholarships are just are to study Islamic law. But if he's 1217 01:11:12,660 --> 01:11:15,630 really looking at the website, the home page and anything in 1218 01:11:15,630 --> 01:11:19,200 there, it's really about slamming Israel over the 1219 01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,180 situation with the Turkish ships. 1220 01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:26,910 And by the way, I think that when, when you say Jews in this 1221 01:11:26,910 --> 01:11:30,540 case, are we not speaking of Zionists and Zionism? 1222 01:11:30,570 --> 01:11:33,780 No, we're talking about Israelis, essentially, the 1223 01:11:33,780 --> 01:11:39,270 Jewish state, okay. I mean, there because this PR agency 1224 01:11:39,270 --> 01:11:42,090 actually represents a Jewish organisation which is involved 1225 01:11:42,090 --> 01:11:43,980 with women's rights, even though they got nothing to do with 1226 01:11:43,980 --> 01:11:46,680 anything in the Middle East. So let me just read a couple of 1227 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:52,260 notes here Fenton communications. Apparently, this 1228 01:11:52,260 --> 01:11:54,930 was from the blog I read today their goal is to prevent the 1229 01:11:54,930 --> 01:11:56,820 Jewish state you're talking about this PR company from 1230 01:11:56,820 --> 01:12:00,180 defending itself by creating a massive public opinion that sees 1231 01:12:00,180 --> 01:12:04,500 itself defence as war crimes, and to prevent a Jewish safe and 1232 01:12:04,500 --> 01:12:07,020 defending itself so that its enemies can finally succeed in 1233 01:12:07,020 --> 01:12:09,360 doing what they've been trying to do since Israel was born 1234 01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:15,270 destroy it. These guys have been their ally with move dot o move 1235 01:12:15,270 --> 01:12:22,590 on.org and Greenpeace Ben and Jerry's. Melissa gates have Bill 1236 01:12:22,590 --> 01:12:27,630 and Melinda Gates Foundation. here here's a clip they took 1237 01:12:27,630 --> 01:12:30,150 from another website says Fenton communications, which has its 1238 01:12:30,150 --> 01:12:32,490 offices in Washington, DC, New York and San Francisco signed 1239 01:12:32,490 --> 01:12:34,950 two contracts last year with Qatar to develop a 1240 01:12:34,950 --> 01:12:38,580 communications action plan for an 18 Month campaign, aimed at D 1241 01:12:38,580 --> 01:12:41,640 legitimising Israel and generating international support 1242 01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:48,150 for the Hamas run Gaza Strip. There's documents from the they 1243 01:12:48,150 --> 01:12:50,850 have attached and these could be forged, but I don't think so. 1244 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,180 With the Justice Department documents showing that they are 1245 01:12:54,180 --> 01:13:00,210 now signed, as foreign agents contract with $390,000 More than 1246 01:13:00,210 --> 01:13:04,350 we make with the Office of our Highness names to long 1247 01:13:04,350 --> 01:13:07,710 dimension, the wife of the Qatari ruler, separate 1248 01:13:07,710 --> 01:13:11,190 Foundation, she chairs the whole thing, so I started looking into 1249 01:13:11,190 --> 01:13:16,470 it. And in fact that this this, this public relations operation, 1250 01:13:16,470 --> 01:13:21,060 Fenton, is definitely worth kind of checking out for who they 1251 01:13:21,060 --> 01:13:23,730 represent. They don't list everybody, but it seems as 1252 01:13:23,730 --> 01:13:26,490 though it's pretty much mostly left wing operation Navy, again, 1253 01:13:26,490 --> 01:13:29,310 you start looking into it. And the funny thing is, you start 1254 01:13:29,310 --> 01:13:32,970 finding the names of people associated with associated sites 1255 01:13:32,970 --> 01:13:36,030 that feed them news stories you find is you see the same names 1256 01:13:36,030 --> 01:13:40,230 cropping up, over and over. And one of my favourite ones is 1257 01:13:40,230 --> 01:13:45,240 running into this woman, Phyllis Bennis, who is a who's a at the 1258 01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:50,970 Institute for Policy Studies which which is an operation that 1259 01:13:50,970 --> 01:13:53,130 is kind of a front for something but they produce this 1260 01:13:53,130 --> 01:13:59,880 newsletter, online news thing called the F p if the foreign 1261 01:13:59,910 --> 01:14:06,270 policy something Foundation, or news, I'll go to fpf.org I think 1262 01:14:06,270 --> 01:14:11,550 can find it. Anyway, she's a fellow there and she seems to 1263 01:14:11,550 --> 01:14:15,780 crop up anytime Fenton does any kind of publicity for anybody in 1264 01:14:15,780 --> 01:14:18,600 varying various regular news articles by being quoted 1265 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:22,470 profusely. And my favourite example and then I dig into this 1266 01:14:22,470 --> 01:14:25,410 and I find that this kind of interest she showed up in 2005 1267 01:14:25,530 --> 01:14:29,100 in a salon magazine article about Cindy, she Han and when 1268 01:14:29,100 --> 01:14:31,200 you do a little research you find out that Fenton 1269 01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:35,460 communications did a pro bono representation of she hand 1270 01:14:35,460 --> 01:14:39,150 they're the ones who brought her to the fore and you can you can 1271 01:14:39,150 --> 01:14:42,270 take clips from anything about she can you can take and put 1272 01:14:42,270 --> 01:14:44,460 those in Google and you'll find article after article after 1273 01:14:44,460 --> 01:14:47,760 articles of pretty much you know, it's cookie cutter stories 1274 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,970 about she had and you'll also notice if you if you look in the 1275 01:14:51,060 --> 01:14:54,570 sense of Obama's got in they dropped she hand because they 1276 01:14:54,570 --> 01:14:57,780 don't need you know, it's Obama's war now, and so she's 1277 01:14:57,780 --> 01:15:01,590 done. So I get the biggest Kick out of following this stuff. 1278 01:15:01,620 --> 01:15:04,590 So can I just give you from their website Fenton's track 1279 01:15:04,590 --> 01:15:09,840 record? We are the firm that helped galvanise public 1280 01:15:09,870 --> 01:15:14,070 opposition to end apartheid. legitimise global warming as an 1281 01:15:14,070 --> 01:15:16,770 urgent threat to our future. They're taking credit for this 1282 01:15:17,220 --> 01:15:20,580 compel government bans and restrictions on toxins such as 1283 01:15:21,390 --> 01:15:24,090 Bisphenol A, and artificial growth hormones and everyday 1284 01:15:24,090 --> 01:15:27,780 consumer products, prevent hard liquor advertising from airing 1285 01:15:27,810 --> 01:15:32,880 on network TV, established the National amber alert, and create 1286 01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,670 a system at the Centres for Disease Control that tracks data 1287 01:15:35,670 --> 01:15:38,730 on violent deaths to prevent homicides and suicides. So 1288 01:15:38,730 --> 01:15:39,930 that's their track record. 1289 01:15:40,830 --> 01:15:44,340 Yeah, that's the only the that's just the tip of their track 1290 01:15:44,340 --> 01:15:48,870 record iceberg. I mean, they have done a lot of stuff that 1291 01:15:48,900 --> 01:15:52,260 goes under the radar, a lot of pro bono work for liberal 1292 01:15:52,260 --> 01:15:56,340 operations. And they also represent they have a client 1293 01:15:56,340 --> 01:15:58,020 list. That's a shoulder boy, yeah, I'm 1294 01:15:58,020 --> 01:15:59,610 looking at it right now. It's huge. It's 1295 01:15:59,610 --> 01:16:04,140 got pretty much every left leaning operation in the 1296 01:16:04,140 --> 01:16:08,730 country. And it's actually kind of frightening. But the fact 1297 01:16:08,730 --> 01:16:12,480 that they've now decided to take on Israel, which I think is, is 1298 01:16:12,480 --> 01:16:18,690 disingenuous, to say the least, it's also probably, I mean, I'm, 1299 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,780 I mean, they had to sign up as a foreign agent to do this. 1300 01:16:22,350 --> 01:16:25,170 Because it's against the US interests, generally speaking. 1301 01:16:25,170 --> 01:16:27,270 And you know, so that's why they had to do all this go through 1302 01:16:27,270 --> 01:16:31,140 this rigmarole. I think it's really, I'll look into this 1303 01:16:31,140 --> 01:16:33,630 operation a little more, I'm sure there's more interesting 1304 01:16:33,630 --> 01:16:37,200 connections in the past, because with Google, now you can do some 1305 01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:39,900 date limited stuff. And you can they'll crop up, especially if 1306 01:16:39,900 --> 01:16:42,840 you know who the players are. Then in other words, you see the 1307 01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:46,110 same writers and the same contacts and these same 1308 01:16:46,110 --> 01:16:49,350 combinations of why is why is this one person being quoted all 1309 01:16:49,350 --> 01:16:54,270 the time, but in regards to this one topic? And you see that 1310 01:16:54,270 --> 01:16:56,850 people will sneak into the public domain like the Cindy she 1311 01:16:56,850 --> 01:16:59,190 hands of the world because you know, they're being promoted? 1312 01:17:00,030 --> 01:17:04,680 It's, it's, it's, it's probably, it needs looking into let's put 1313 01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:08,760 it that way. So the reason I got triggered by this, because we 1314 01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:14,730 got the guy who complained about the the Melanie Phillips piece 1315 01:17:14,730 --> 01:17:16,860 that we ran at the end of the show a couple of weeks ago, or 1316 01:17:16,860 --> 01:17:20,430 about a week ago, I guess. He had to he basically gave us the 1317 01:17:20,430 --> 01:17:23,730 laundry list of their all the bad things about Israel and the 1318 01:17:23,730 --> 01:17:27,210 Jewish state. That was essentially the checklist from 1319 01:17:27,210 --> 01:17:28,800 Fenton Oh, really? So 1320 01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,320 you think that the Fenton operative is No, I don't think 1321 01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:31,590 so. I 1322 01:17:31,590 --> 01:17:34,320 think it was, well, that's always a possibility. It's 1323 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,050 always a possibility. But it could be either an operative 1324 01:17:37,050 --> 01:17:39,480 because the checklist is there. Or it could be just somebody 1325 01:17:39,480 --> 01:17:44,190 who's been completely indoctrinated. Out, 1326 01:17:44,190 --> 01:17:47,370 indoctrinated, indoctrinated already, and this is only the 1327 01:17:47,370 --> 01:17:51,030 beginning, because this campaign is just fairly new. 1328 01:17:52,050 --> 01:17:54,810 Okay. In conclusion, 1329 01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,780 well, in conclusion, I think that we're going to have to 1330 01:17:57,780 --> 01:18:01,530 start looking a little more. We're I think we're getting a 1331 01:18:01,530 --> 01:18:06,810 little lazy about following the public relations. That is behind 1332 01:18:06,810 --> 01:18:08,760 almost everything. We're starting to witness on the 1333 01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:12,150 mainstream media, to the point where I mean, we aren't getting 1334 01:18:12,150 --> 01:18:16,020 any news. I mean, even back as far as 2005, if you can look up 1335 01:18:16,020 --> 01:18:19,800 the salon magazine article, and Cindy Sheehan. You can do it by 1336 01:18:20,490 --> 01:18:23,460 the writers, I looked at the up the writers if he had any 1337 01:18:23,460 --> 01:18:25,860 consistent, you know, a lot of times you'll run into, 1338 01:18:25,860 --> 01:18:28,230 especially with the Guardian, you'll find the writers are just 1339 01:18:28,230 --> 01:18:32,430 right, you know, basic doctrinaire low wing Tyria. But 1340 01:18:32,430 --> 01:18:34,680 this guy is just all over the place. So I don't think so. But 1341 01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:40,260 he is obviously fed a lot of a lot of stuff from the PR agency, 1342 01:18:40,260 --> 01:18:42,360 because it makes life so much easier. Because you get you 1343 01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:46,350 know, let me tell you about this. Here you go. So you 1344 01:18:46,380 --> 01:18:49,650 basically handed a story in a silver platter, and you have no 1345 01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:53,790 way to get out of the way it's being presented, and this is 1346 01:18:53,790 --> 01:18:57,180 what's going on. And then I you know, resent people, right, 1347 01:18:57,540 --> 01:19:00,630 telling us that, you know, we're stooges for one thing or another 1348 01:19:00,630 --> 01:19:04,170 one, we're very aware of this mechanism, and we uncover it 1349 01:19:04,170 --> 01:19:09,090 constantly. And I would say that you should really check your own 1350 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,760 sources. Why are you thinking the way you're thinking? 1351 01:19:12,419 --> 01:19:15,749 And in fact, although it's just kind of funny, we know that Hill 1352 01:19:15,749 --> 01:19:19,649 and Knowlton is the agency for the high speed rail Association 1353 01:19:19,649 --> 01:19:23,609 of America and it seems like they've done quite a good job 1354 01:19:23,609 --> 01:19:30,449 this week all about our trains. Planes ban a number of 1355 01:19:30,449 --> 01:19:34,979 outstanding stories they've placed maggots in luggage locker 1356 01:19:34,979 --> 01:19:39,539 delay us flight in Atlanta. There's a lot of this the my 1357 01:19:39,539 --> 01:19:43,979 favourite which showed up in USA Today and a couple other big big 1358 01:19:43,979 --> 01:19:47,429 mainstream publications, airline food kitchens have Rodin 1359 01:19:47,429 --> 01:19:53,999 problem. And, in fact, you can almost hear this CBS News 1360 01:19:53,999 --> 01:20:00,239 report. You can almost hear that it's a setup by the by A Hill 1361 01:20:00,239 --> 01:20:05,399 and Knowlton it's a pre package deal. Now apparently the FDA did 1362 01:20:05,399 --> 01:20:09,419 an investigation six months ago and I went to the FDA site I 1363 01:20:09,419 --> 01:20:13,589 went to food safety.com could not find said report they went 1364 01:20:13,589 --> 01:20:17,969 to Sky chef and a couple other these huge outfits that do the 1365 01:20:17,969 --> 01:20:22,829 catering for airlines and they found rats and, and all kinds of 1366 01:20:22,829 --> 01:20:27,599 safety violations and hazards and there's a CBS This is this 1367 01:20:27,599 --> 01:20:31,169 is network news. They put together this package and it 1368 01:20:31,169 --> 01:20:34,109 really I mean, if this isn't pre produced, I don't know what is 1369 01:20:34,109 --> 01:20:38,579 particularly the woman they interview from Sky chef, you 1370 01:20:38,579 --> 01:20:41,939 know, it's like some poor woman, some poor Hispanic woman who 1371 01:20:41,939 --> 01:20:44,429 just like I don't know, I don't know I can't talk about that 1372 01:20:44,429 --> 01:20:47,489 literally what how she's talking is like they didn't go to like 1373 01:20:47,489 --> 01:20:52,019 the the press department apparently. Just listen to to 1374 01:20:52,019 --> 01:20:57,179 how planes are being once again marginalised so that trains can 1375 01:20:57,209 --> 01:21:00,479 be put in, and then we'll give you Chris Matthews to finish 1376 01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:06,659 that out. Here we go. CBS News. Oh, guess what? I checked five 1377 01:21:06,659 --> 01:21:10,919 times on this site, and there was no pre roll. Now all of a 1378 01:21:10,919 --> 01:21:15,569 sudden they get a frickin pre roll. Sorry about that. So a 1379 01:21:15,569 --> 01:21:17,549 couple other reports. While we're waiting for the pre roll 1380 01:21:17,549 --> 01:21:21,629 to finish, body scanners, airlines, do you probably think 1381 01:21:21,629 --> 01:21:22,409 about maintenance 1382 01:21:22,410 --> 01:21:25,680 and mechanical issues that could put you at risk. But what if we 1383 01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:29,400 told you it is the food served at 30,000 feet that you really 1384 01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,490 should be worrying about? CBS news consumer reporter Kristen 1385 01:21:32,490 --> 01:21:36,180 Cole has the filthy findings don't they find more than half a 1386 01:21:36,180 --> 01:21:39,210 billion meals a year are made by some of the largest airline food 1387 01:21:39,210 --> 01:21:42,510 kitchens in the US. And a recent analysis by the US Food and Drug 1388 01:21:42,510 --> 01:21:45,090 Administration found that food preparation in some of these 1389 01:21:45,090 --> 01:21:48,720 kitchens is a recipe for disaster. Violations include 1390 01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,990 roaches, mice, unsanitary conditions, and no place for 1391 01:21:51,990 --> 01:21:53,430 employees to wash hands. 1392 01:21:53,730 --> 01:21:56,940 Volume always leads to problems. Obviously there's not a lot of 1393 01:21:56,940 --> 01:21:57,810 accountability. 1394 01:21:57,900 --> 01:22:00,780 food prep in all three New York area airports were cited for 1395 01:22:00,780 --> 01:22:05,070 violations including LSG sky chef for food that was subject 1396 01:22:05,070 --> 01:22:08,010 to contamination employees not washing hands thoroughly 1397 01:22:08,130 --> 01:22:11,670 touching food surfaces with bare hands and failure to clean and 1398 01:22:11,670 --> 01:22:14,850 sanitise to protect food from contamination. We went to their 1399 01:22:14,850 --> 01:22:17,460 LaGuardia Airport facility to try to speak to someone in 1400 01:22:17,460 --> 01:22:21,810 charge. His findings by the FDA, Yvonne loneliness and possible 1401 01:22:21,810 --> 01:22:26,820 contamination of food. I cannot say anything, a spokesperson for 1402 01:22:26,820 --> 01:22:30,810 LSG sky chefs as they make 405 million meals a year and that we 1403 01:22:30,810 --> 01:22:33,090 have comprehensive and multi layered quality control 1404 01:22:33,090 --> 01:22:36,270 standards in place to ensure our customers receive safe, healthy 1405 01:22:36,270 --> 01:22:38,850 and high quality food. And those systems are checked and 1406 01:22:38,850 --> 01:22:42,360 confirmed through a series of approximately 400 audits a year. 1407 01:22:42,540 --> 01:22:48,300 I would say. Right now the FDA is woefully inadequate in most 1408 01:22:48,300 --> 01:22:49,920 aspects of our food protection 1409 01:22:49,980 --> 01:22:53,490 at another food service company Gate Gourmet. The FDA found it 1410 01:22:53,490 --> 01:22:56,610 failed to keep food at safe temperatures failed to keep 1411 01:22:56,610 --> 01:22:59,910 equipment clean, that there was no hot water for hand washing in 1412 01:22:59,910 --> 01:23:03,000 the restroom and that there was black residue in the kitchens 1413 01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:06,210 and on the ice machine. The makers of 50 million meals said 1414 01:23:06,210 --> 01:23:09,660 their inspections are taken very seriously and assist us in 1415 01:23:09,690 --> 01:23:13,080 further improving our service at issue according to food safety 1416 01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:16,590 experts is a lack of oversight when it comes to cleaning and 1417 01:23:16,590 --> 01:23:20,490 food preparation, leading to oftentimes dangerous conditions 1418 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:24,540 for diners and flying food which has facilities in Newark, JFK 1419 01:23:24,540 --> 01:23:27,390 and across the US has been cited for failure to test for 1420 01:23:27,390 --> 01:23:30,750 dangerous microbes, not taking precautions for contamination, 1421 01:23:30,870 --> 01:23:34,320 lack of proper hand washing facilities and lack of adequate 1422 01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:38,100 drainage which may provide a breeding place for pass. They 1423 01:23:38,100 --> 01:23:41,340 stated we now service our JFK customers from a brand new $32 1424 01:23:41,340 --> 01:23:44,820 million state of the art airline catering facility that raises 1425 01:23:44,820 --> 01:23:47,670 the bar on quality cleanliness and efficiency in airline 1426 01:23:47,670 --> 01:23:51,030 catering worldwide. But these reports will no doubt give many 1427 01:23:51,030 --> 01:23:54,450 fliers food for thought. at LaGuardia Airport, Kirsten Cole, 1428 01:23:54,450 --> 01:23:55,920 CBS two news. 1429 01:23:56,070 --> 01:24:00,210 So hold on a second. Was this like a half hour special? I'm 1430 01:24:00,210 --> 01:24:02,430 telling you the idea of a soundbite there's 1431 01:24:02,430 --> 01:24:07,470 no way that W CBS TV in New York put this package together 1432 01:24:07,470 --> 01:24:11,910 there's just no way there's just no way this this was pre 1433 01:24:11,910 --> 01:24:14,790 produced. They knew what they were getting. I've never seen 1434 01:24:14,790 --> 01:24:18,720 this woman and I can't find the report. If anyone can find the 1435 01:24:18,750 --> 01:24:22,770 this report from six months ago apparently, on the FDA website. 1436 01:24:22,770 --> 01:24:26,760 Send it to me please. I don't get it. I can't find the report. 1437 01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:30,180 So what 1438 01:24:30,180 --> 01:24:33,090 do we do? It gets me about this. It's so obvious what's going on 1439 01:24:33,090 --> 01:24:36,570 here. I mean, we've been harping on this is one of our topics du 1440 01:24:36,570 --> 01:24:39,330 jour or that we we have a we have a jingle. 1441 01:24:39,570 --> 01:24:42,960 Yes. That says how much we've been harping on it. We've been 1442 01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:43,350 harping 1443 01:24:43,350 --> 01:24:47,310 on it the question is Is that what is wrong with the airlines 1444 01:24:47,310 --> 01:24:52,140 that they can't counter this? This is eating right into their 1445 01:24:52,170 --> 01:24:54,960 into their pocket book. I mean, although there's not really an 1446 01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,660 alternative for most, you know, travel I mean, just like you can 1447 01:24:57,690 --> 01:25:00,000 talk a big game but nobody's taking the train, let's say 1448 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,310 isn't even they put a high speed rail and nobody's taking the 1449 01:25:02,310 --> 01:25:04,800 train it's there's not going to happen. So it's not like they're 1450 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,830 losing their their asses. But you think that they would do 1451 01:25:07,830 --> 01:25:10,200 something to protect their image because of some weird thing 1452 01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,600 happens in in Uganda when there's some court cases, 1453 01:25:12,780 --> 01:25:15,720 nobody's going to be you know, all this comes out and says 1454 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,050 aren't you guys careless? I mean, I don't understand why 1455 01:25:19,050 --> 01:25:22,440 they let the situation get out of control like this. There's 1456 01:25:22,440 --> 01:25:25,560 not one. I haven't seen anything to counter any of this 1457 01:25:25,590 --> 01:25:28,830 is there? Is there actually a? Well, we'd have to find out who 1458 01:25:28,830 --> 01:25:31,650 the PR agency is and never hire them because there's no 1459 01:25:31,650 --> 01:25:33,990 PR agency. I think they all doing their own thing. I think 1460 01:25:33,990 --> 01:25:37,080 they each week, probably it. I think United's got its own PR 1461 01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,630 agency, and they're just, you know, like every other PR agency 1462 01:25:39,630 --> 01:25:43,800 nowadays doing nothing, by the way, sitting around, you know, 1463 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,650 yeah, well, you know, we can't do it by ourselves. So we're not 1464 01:25:46,650 --> 01:25:49,260 gonna do anything. And I'm gonna take any call broke. 1465 01:25:49,500 --> 01:25:53,250 They're broke, too. And they're broke. So here's, here's Chris 1466 01:25:53,250 --> 01:25:57,270 Matthews, who clearly got the message in the memo from Hill 1467 01:25:57,270 --> 01:26:00,390 and Knowlton on his hardball with Chris Matthews. 1468 01:26:03,030 --> 01:26:05,880 Let me finish today with the pathetic state of the economy. 1469 01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:08,910 And one big thing we can do about it. Today, we learned that 1470 01:26:08,910 --> 01:26:12,180 consumer confidence number fell nearly 10 points since last 1471 01:26:12,180 --> 01:26:15,390 month. It's not hard to figure why the unemployment number for 1472 01:26:15,390 --> 01:26:18,900 me showed a dismal growth of just 41,000 and American 1473 01:26:18,900 --> 01:26:22,920 civilian jobs and people got the word all this the bed, June 1474 01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:25,920 unemployment number expected Friday, the bed consumer 1475 01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:29,580 confidence number that dropping down today all working together. 1476 01:26:29,670 --> 01:26:32,880 And we're looking at the plausibility of that second dip, 1477 01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:35,760 we've been warned about. I hear this all has the folks in the 1478 01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,550 White House looking past a big defeat November to what they can 1479 01:26:38,550 --> 01:26:43,620 do, going into 2012. It's a brutal conundrum. Countries in 1480 01:26:43,620 --> 01:26:46,770 Europe just made clear that G 20, that they're in no mood to 1481 01:26:46,770 --> 01:26:49,770 boost spending to create markets for American goods. They're 1482 01:26:49,770 --> 01:26:52,140 tightening their belts trying their best not to be accused of 1483 01:26:52,140 --> 01:26:55,890 doing what Greece did. What means what do we do it? We've 1484 01:26:55,890 --> 01:26:58,620 got everybody in the world cutting back and what's that to 1485 01:26:58,620 --> 01:27:01,740 do the prospect of economic expansion here at home? Well, it 1486 01:27:01,740 --> 01:27:05,280 kills it. If you're looking for good news. I have one suggestion 1487 01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:07,560 stop listening to Europe stablished into the 1488 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:11,100 conservatives do what has worked in the past. What got us out of 1489 01:27:11,100 --> 01:27:14,250 the Great Depression was production, massive industrial 1490 01:27:14,250 --> 01:27:17,670 production to support the Allied cause and World War Two. We need 1491 01:27:17,670 --> 01:27:21,120 production for this country. Now we need to build rapid rail to 1492 01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,210 catch up to those allies from World War Two. France already 1493 01:27:24,210 --> 01:27:27,450 has the t shirt of a China is building its rapid rail system. 1494 01:27:27,630 --> 01:27:30,030 It's time we joined the movement. We need to go back to 1495 01:27:30,030 --> 01:27:33,750 the future become a country that builds things again, it'll 1496 01:27:33,750 --> 01:27:37,050 create jobs, it'll catch us up to the rest of the world. It'll 1497 01:27:37,050 --> 01:27:40,560 cut our reliance on oil. It'll give us hope we can believe in 1498 01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:43,140 luck. Lincoln built the continental railroads. Even in 1499 01:27:43,140 --> 01:27:45,960 the middle of the Civil War. I built the Interstate Highway 1500 01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:50,160 System and this supposedly do nothing 50s President Obama, 1501 01:27:50,340 --> 01:27:52,140 just do it. Just 1502 01:27:52,140 --> 01:27:57,510 do it. Rail high speed rail. It's gonna save us. 1503 01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,140 How does this look into the future? Don't you think that 1504 01:28:01,290 --> 01:28:05,880 just sports like, you know, jets that do 1500 miles an hour is a 1505 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,550 little more futuristic than putting a train line in 1506 01:28:08,580 --> 01:28:12,780 No, we need to go back to the future. You heard the man back 1507 01:28:12,780 --> 01:28:16,320 to the future. And that was terrible. Airport body scanners 1508 01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:19,740 could give you cancer. Like we didn't know that good report 1509 01:28:19,740 --> 01:28:25,050 there from the telegraph. And our national treasure PBS. has a 1510 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:29,850 fantastic month. The whole month of July is airline calamity 1511 01:28:29,850 --> 01:28:33,780 month. We have that right? Well, I don't think actually building 1512 01:28:33,780 --> 01:28:38,400 it as such. But we have the deadliest plane crash that airs 1513 01:28:38,430 --> 01:28:43,020 Hold on. We get the schedule here. At least this is Nova Nova 1514 01:28:43,020 --> 01:28:50,310 for July. July 6 8pm. Missing in MIG alley, July 13 8pm deadliest 1515 01:28:50,310 --> 01:28:55,680 plane crash July 20. B 29. frozen in time, July 27, who 1516 01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:59,220 killed the Red Baron it is absolutely air aeroplane 1517 01:28:59,220 --> 01:29:04,500 calamity month on Nova, that your national treasure brought 1518 01:29:04,500 --> 01:29:07,770 to you by Siemens, who are making trains. 1519 01:29:09,630 --> 01:29:12,720 Unbelievable. Yeah. Wow. There was a story that we actually I 1520 01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:14,760 think somebody ran in the blog that they were there. Also 1521 01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:17,790 another story you want to overlooked is just to give us 1522 01:29:17,790 --> 01:29:23,580 more impetus. Apparently Russia is in bed with a French train 1523 01:29:23,580 --> 01:29:26,490 maker to get high speed rail throughout the storage Bureau 1524 01:29:26,490 --> 01:29:27,600 storage route Russia 1525 01:29:27,630 --> 01:29:31,470 well, they ordered 200 High Speed electric locomotives 1526 01:29:31,500 --> 01:29:33,270 Yeah, and then they have a picture of these but those don't 1527 01:29:33,270 --> 01:29:36,060 even look like you know medium speed electric locomotive those 1528 01:29:36,060 --> 01:29:39,720 clunkers that are all over Europe, they do it they go fast 1529 01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,690 at 80 or 90, but it's not like three or four miles an hour. 1530 01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:46,230 No, it says 200 kilometres 124 miles per hour. 1531 01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,470 Like operating temperatures, you know, they could hit that. 1532 01:29:49,590 --> 01:29:54,750 That's not what I call high speed rail. Trains in the United 1533 01:29:54,750 --> 01:29:58,050 States that were steam engines that went that fast. Ah, yes, 1534 01:29:58,050 --> 01:30:02,370 that would be the Taggart Express. Oh wait a minute boom 1535 01:30:06,270 --> 01:30:07,710 by iron Rand what? 1536 01:30:08,129 --> 01:30:10,229 Nothing. You can't take the subject seriously. 1537 01:30:10,770 --> 01:30:13,770 I've taking the subject very seriously. Hey, I didn't throw 1538 01:30:13,770 --> 01:30:17,760 any chemtrails on you at least you just did. No, I'm waiting 1539 01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:20,070 because the people are sending me tonnes of links and I'm gonna 1540 01:30:20,070 --> 01:30:21,450 hit upon the actual 1541 01:30:21,510 --> 01:30:24,000 you're gonna have guys showing up at the house. You know the 1542 01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:27,330 type. They're gonna be, like slightly lopsided and slightly 1543 01:30:27,330 --> 01:30:28,170 cross-eyed. 1544 01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:30,420 That's my people, man. What are you talking about? That's 1545 01:30:30,420 --> 01:30:32,220 my Pete and they forget the shutter. 1546 01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:37,200 Shut up. That's my people. That right there. So, I'd like to 1547 01:30:37,500 --> 01:30:38,160 wait, wait, we 1548 01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:40,920 got one more topic I want to get to I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. 1549 01:30:42,660 --> 01:30:46,320 So Petraeus. Did you notice that there you know, here's the 1550 01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:47,310 here's an interesting thing. 1551 01:30:47,340 --> 01:30:51,240 McChrystal resigned, by the way, he's out. Yeah, her dad, and 1552 01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:54,420 they're letting him resign as this is exactly what we said. We 1553 01:30:54,420 --> 01:30:56,580 said he was going to resign, he'll never have to buy himself 1554 01:30:56,580 --> 01:30:59,430 another beer ever again. Because people love him. The people who 1555 01:30:59,430 --> 01:31:02,880 understand what he was actually doing as a patriot, although he 1556 01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:05,970 was completely misdirected, and they let him resign as a four 1557 01:31:05,970 --> 01:31:09,900 star general, which he actually I guess he wasn't a four star 1558 01:31:09,900 --> 01:31:13,860 general long enough to technically be able to resign 1559 01:31:13,860 --> 01:31:15,780 with that commendation, but now 1560 01:31:15,780 --> 01:31:19,860 he gets a bigger pension. Yeah, so and your pension, he's guys 1561 01:31:19,860 --> 01:31:22,140 resigned and people said, why didn't he just resign if he 1562 01:31:22,140 --> 01:31:25,350 didn't like it? You have this convoluted theory that he had to 1563 01:31:25,350 --> 01:31:27,600 do all these things to get kind of get kicked out. 1564 01:31:27,630 --> 01:31:31,410 So I know, I know where you're going. And I think we should 1565 01:31:31,410 --> 01:31:34,590 play the CNN piece from your blog actually from 1566 01:31:34,590 --> 01:31:38,610 divorce.org/blog. I think you're going towards Laura, Laura 1567 01:31:38,610 --> 01:31:39,120 Logan. 1568 01:31:40,020 --> 01:31:43,800 Well, I wasn't headed toward Laura Logan. But Laura Logan was 1569 01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:47,430 part of the you know, the the I mean, the whole thing was, yeah, 1570 01:31:47,430 --> 01:31:50,430 she may actually was stunned. Actually, she everyone's on her 1571 01:31:50,430 --> 01:31:54,270 case, because she stupidly made some negative commentary about 1572 01:31:54,270 --> 01:31:58,140 the guy Hastings article on McChrystal. I got him fired. And 1573 01:31:58,140 --> 01:32:00,720 she was befuddled by the whole thing saying this doesn't work 1574 01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:03,900 this way. In fact, she went on and on with about how they don't 1575 01:32:03,900 --> 01:32:05,520 they start ditches impossible just 1576 01:32:06,330 --> 01:32:07,830 play a little bit of hurt because I thought it was 1577 01:32:07,830 --> 01:32:12,660 interesting. So Matt Taibbi Who was the guy who was written in 1578 01:32:12,660 --> 01:32:16,320 Rolling Stone magazine about Goldman Sachs, which of course 1579 01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:21,240 made no impact on Washington say magazine, another great writer. 1580 01:32:21,540 --> 01:32:24,780 He said, You know, this is bullcrap. And he actually says 1581 01:32:24,870 --> 01:32:28,590 Lera Logan, you suck was the title of his article. And I'll 1582 01:32:28,590 --> 01:32:30,690 give you my thoughts on that in a minute. But here she is on 1583 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:34,080 CNN, I guess, saying she's befuddled about how this could 1584 01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:35,070 actually take place. 1585 01:32:35,789 --> 01:32:38,309 The Rolling Stone piece it ended General McChrystal, his career 1586 01:32:38,309 --> 01:32:40,529 raises an intriguing journalistic question. Could 1587 01:32:40,529 --> 01:32:43,529 this have happened with a military beat reporter? Joining 1588 01:32:43,529 --> 01:32:46,049 us now is a woman with plenty of experience in Afghanistan and 1589 01:32:46,049 --> 01:32:48,659 Iraq. CBS as chief foreign correspondent Laura Logan, 1590 01:32:48,659 --> 01:32:51,329 welcome. If you had been travelling with General 1591 01:32:51,329 --> 01:32:53,849 McChrystal, and heard these comments about Barack Obama, Joe 1592 01:32:53,849 --> 01:32:56,039 Biden, Jim Jones, which should have been would you have 1593 01:32:56,039 --> 01:32:56,609 reported them? 1594 01:32:57,630 --> 01:33:00,030 But it really depends on the circumstances. It's hard to 1595 01:33:00,030 --> 01:33:02,820 know. Yeah. Michael Hastings, if you believe him, says that there 1596 01:33:02,820 --> 01:33:06,570 were no ground rules laid out. And I mean, that just doesn't 1597 01:33:06,570 --> 01:33:08,580 really make a lot of sense to me. Because if you look at the 1598 01:33:08,580 --> 01:33:10,290 people around you, and McChrystal, if you look at his 1599 01:33:10,290 --> 01:33:13,740 history, he was the Joint Special Operations commander. He 1600 01:33:13,740 --> 01:33:17,670 has a history of not interacting with the media at all. And his 1601 01:33:17,670 --> 01:33:19,920 chief of intelligence, my feeling is the same. I mean, I 1602 01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:22,710 know these people, they never let their guard down like that. 1603 01:33:22,710 --> 01:33:25,770 To me. Something doesn't add up here. I just I don't believe it. 1604 01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:29,250 When you are out with the troops and you're living together and 1605 01:33:29,250 --> 01:33:31,200 sleeping together, is there an unspoiled 1606 01:33:31,230 --> 01:33:32,700 I wouldn't mind sleeping with her? 1607 01:33:33,810 --> 01:33:35,610 There is a rumour she's hot, 1608 01:33:35,670 --> 01:33:38,280 broken agreement? Absolutely. You're not going to embarrass 1609 01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,010 them by reporting insults and banter? Yes. Tell me about that. 1610 01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:45,030 Yes, absolutely. There is an element of trust. And what I 1611 01:33:45,030 --> 01:33:47,610 find is the most telling thing about what Michael Hastings said 1612 01:33:47,610 --> 01:33:50,190 in your interview, is that he talked about his manners 1613 01:33:50,190 --> 01:33:54,060 pretending to build an illusion of trust. And his he you know, 1614 01:33:54,060 --> 01:33:57,990 he is he's laid out there, what his game is, that is exactly the 1615 01:33:57,990 --> 01:34:01,590 kind of damaging type of attitude that makes it difficult 1616 01:34:01,590 --> 01:34:04,650 for reporters who are genuine about what they do, who don't 1617 01:34:04,650 --> 01:34:07,230 distinguish, I don't go around in my personal life, pretending 1618 01:34:07,230 --> 01:34:09,750 to be one thing and then being something else. I mean, I find 1619 01:34:09,750 --> 01:34:11,940 it egregious that anyone would do that in their professional 1620 01:34:11,940 --> 01:34:15,030 life. And, and I mean, I take that to the point of even when I 1621 01:34:15,030 --> 01:34:17,910 applied to interview someone about something difficult, and 1622 01:34:17,910 --> 01:34:20,400 they want to know the areas of the interview. I might not say, 1623 01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:22,410 Well, we're going to spend the whole interview on this, but I 1624 01:34:22,410 --> 01:34:25,290 will list that I will list that controversial issue and 1625 01:34:25,290 --> 01:34:26,730 blindside them because I don't know 1626 01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:29,400 what she's basically saying the way she's married to a black 1627 01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:31,770 water guy, you know, oh, there you go. 1628 01:34:32,430 --> 01:34:36,330 So what she's basically saying is, you know, if you uncover 1629 01:34:36,330 --> 01:34:39,210 something, you need to keep it off the record and protect your 1630 01:34:39,210 --> 01:34:42,510 relationship so that you can continue to have a relationship 1631 01:34:42,510 --> 01:34:42,990 and rapport 1632 01:34:43,020 --> 01:34:45,210 she continued to not to give us any news. 1633 01:34:45,510 --> 01:34:49,350 So when I saw and these are both linked to the both his video and 1634 01:34:49,380 --> 01:34:52,680 Matt Davies column who says this is what's wrong with journalism 1635 01:34:52,710 --> 01:34:56,790 in in the world, and he's right. Oh, yeah, but see, they're both 1636 01:34:56,790 --> 01:34:59,970 wrong. They they both missed. The point is that this was 1637 01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:01,740 setup, it was a set hold, 1638 01:35:01,830 --> 01:35:05,460 right the point that we make on this show, which is the whole 1639 01:35:05,460 --> 01:35:08,250 thing was an obvious setup they actually she actually confirms 1640 01:35:08,250 --> 01:35:11,250 it but she doesn't know she's confirming it right? She's 1641 01:35:11,250 --> 01:35:13,740 bitching about the article but what she's complaining about is 1642 01:35:13,740 --> 01:35:16,620 actually telling you that this couldn't have possibly happened 1643 01:35:16,620 --> 01:35:20,820 unless it was meant to happen. Exactly. She never says that the 1644 01:35:20,820 --> 01:35:23,250 debt but because she's not thinking in those terms. But 1645 01:35:23,250 --> 01:35:25,710 what this game crystal couldn't do so well. Why don't you just 1646 01:35:25,710 --> 01:35:28,710 quit if he hated the situation? He couldn't he to be quitting 1647 01:35:28,710 --> 01:35:32,400 with three stars. He would be very dubious it looked like a 1648 01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:36,630 quitter looked like a coward. I mean, he just couldn't resign. 1649 01:35:36,630 --> 01:35:39,210 It was impossible it would he would put himself into a hole so 1650 01:35:39,210 --> 01:35:42,060 he could get out. And what it's apparent he tried to get out. He 1651 01:35:42,060 --> 01:35:44,370 first he leaked a memo, which was insubordination. They 1652 01:35:44,370 --> 01:35:46,440 wouldn't quit kick him out on that, then he does something 1653 01:35:46,440 --> 01:35:49,890 else. And he finally does this ridiculous interview, which just 1654 01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:52,860 makes him look like a complete insubordinate. So they have to 1655 01:35:52,860 --> 01:35:55,470 make a deal to get him out of there, which they do give them 1656 01:35:55,470 --> 01:35:59,070 an extra star and tell him to get lost. He's happy he's got 1657 01:35:59,070 --> 01:36:02,040 accomplished what he needed to accomplish. And if nobody thinks 1658 01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:06,600 this wasn't a complete, fake setup, even though even Hastings 1659 01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:10,350 may have not known it, but whatever the case was just 1660 01:36:10,350 --> 01:36:13,350 listening to her. She pretty much says this guy doesn't talk 1661 01:36:13,350 --> 01:36:17,520 to anybody. Why is he was this, this guy this this Freelancer 1662 01:36:17,550 --> 01:36:19,350 hanging around for a month? 1663 01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:25,290 And the partying and the Pentagon has? That's what at 1664 01:36:25,290 --> 01:36:28,830 least what Matt Taibbi writes has 30,000 people in their PR 1665 01:36:28,830 --> 01:36:29,430 department. 1666 01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:33,750 Yeah, he says they have a budget of over $3.3 billion in PR 1667 01:36:34,350 --> 01:36:40,260 30 30,000 people. And then this just got through some Oops, oh, 1668 01:36:40,260 --> 01:36:42,360 we slipped up, didn't we come 1669 01:36:43,110 --> 01:36:44,220 make any sense? 1670 01:36:44,730 --> 01:36:47,970 No. And now we know that we're just going to be in Afghanistan 1671 01:36:47,970 --> 01:36:50,820 longer. You know, and of course, then they bring 1672 01:36:50,820 --> 01:36:54,300 in of course, I got this does. You know I as you know, I'm not 1673 01:36:54,300 --> 01:36:56,910 a fan of Petraeus. But if you want to read some of the dig up 1674 01:36:56,910 --> 01:36:59,580 to portray this article that was written in the daily costs in 1675 01:36:59,580 --> 01:37:03,570 2007, where they blast portray us, portray us for having for 1676 01:37:03,570 --> 01:37:07,380 one thing having one of the valid metals with a V on it. 1677 01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:11,010 Yeah, we're on star with a V on it, which means he had been 1678 01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:14,940 killed or shot or something or wounded, or having you know, 1679 01:37:14,940 --> 01:37:18,240 having they say he's never discharged his gun in a war 1680 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:21,570 zone. He's got he's covered with metals from head to toe. And 1681 01:37:21,570 --> 01:37:24,870 people are talking about most people that are high up. So you 1682 01:37:24,870 --> 01:37:27,210 know what, you don't have to wear all the metals, even if 1683 01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:30,720 they're not all required. If you have certain like about, you 1684 01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:34,230 know, Uber metals that count for half the metals underneath them. 1685 01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:38,730 You know, these ribbons, and you can take off the ones the ones 1686 01:37:38,730 --> 01:37:41,310 below but no, this guy has to look like that. I've said it 1687 01:37:41,310 --> 01:37:44,130 before. And the military people that listen to this show can say 1688 01:37:44,130 --> 01:37:48,060 whatever they want about it. He looks like a generally Simona 1689 01:37:48,060 --> 01:37:51,510 Banana Republic with all this with all these things hanging 1690 01:37:51,510 --> 01:37:55,140 off of them. And now all that's missing is the big giant hat. 1691 01:37:55,320 --> 01:37:59,760 That's got the big top hat they wear with all the scrambled eggs 1692 01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:02,190 all over waiting for that. I guess he has to take his hat 1693 01:38:02,190 --> 01:38:05,070 off. That's ridiculous. This guy. 1694 01:38:07,740 --> 01:38:10,920 I hope people see I hope I hope what we discuss on this show 1695 01:38:10,950 --> 01:38:17,760 makes people at least questions some of this. Oh, boy, yeah, 1696 01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:20,550 that was a good one. So I think things are moving very, very 1697 01:38:20,550 --> 01:38:24,930 swiftly. It seems like certainly in the United States of Gitmo 1698 01:38:24,930 --> 01:38:28,710 nation. There's a lot of things that need to be accomplished 1699 01:38:28,710 --> 01:38:32,370 before the November election. And it's just one after another. 1700 01:38:32,370 --> 01:38:34,770 You know, the President was on this morning talking about 1701 01:38:35,460 --> 01:38:38,550 immigration, and it's just like, What, is there something we've 1702 01:38:38,550 --> 01:38:41,040 overlooked? Is it something else that that we can't give up 1703 01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:44,820 control of? Certainly there's there must be more. It's than 1704 01:38:45,030 --> 01:38:49,170 financial reform. Its cap and trade. Oh, of course, our second 1705 01:38:49,170 --> 01:38:53,280 amendment that was a good one that was very, very scary, 1706 01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:55,110 actually, with the Supreme Court. 1707 01:38:55,320 --> 01:38:57,870 No, yeah, actually, the Supreme Court as far as they're 1708 01:38:57,870 --> 01:38:59,580 concerned, guns are out. 1709 01:38:59,820 --> 01:39:04,080 And that's so if Elena Kagan comes in, she could tip the 1710 01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:04,830 balance and then 1711 01:39:05,010 --> 01:39:09,360 she'll be part of the the she's replacing one of the four. Oh, 1712 01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:13,560 okay. You I believe another new justice. That's five to four 1713 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:14,820 right now. It's gonna be five 1714 01:39:14,820 --> 01:39:16,860 to four, but it doesn't actually. I mean, we have a 1715 01:39:16,860 --> 01:39:20,220 constitution. And this is why I love living in America because 1716 01:39:20,220 --> 01:39:23,220 the government knows at the end of the day, we've all got guns, 1717 01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:26,820 and they and they will lose this this is why it's great. It's not 1718 01:39:26,820 --> 01:39:29,490 you know, yeah, it sucks guns. You know, people get shot and 1719 01:39:29,490 --> 01:39:31,710 you probably likely to kill yourself with your own gun. But 1720 01:39:31,710 --> 01:39:33,240 at the end of the day, that's what makes America 1721 01:39:33,870 --> 01:39:36,690 great is the only time he was shot was by another soldier, 1722 01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:41,280 supposedly by accident. Oops, sorry about that. Sorry, boss. 1723 01:39:43,410 --> 01:39:44,910 Well, maybe I'll get another ribbon. 1724 01:39:45,450 --> 01:39:50,490 He did. I think he got the Purple Heart for that. So yeah, 1725 01:39:50,580 --> 01:39:54,360 it's it's amazing. It's just it's it's astounding to watch. 1726 01:39:54,450 --> 01:39:59,160 And I think the of course we'll see this Wall Street reform 1727 01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:01,530 which the President is Lying about saying it's all about 1728 01:40:01,530 --> 01:40:03,930 consumer protection, but please go and read the bill. It's 1729 01:40:03,930 --> 01:40:06,510 linked in the show notes no agenda show.com. It's, it's, 1730 01:40:06,810 --> 01:40:09,120 it's complicated, but just look at how many times the Board of 1731 01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:12,570 Governors is listed as the guys who are in charge. And the Board 1732 01:40:12,570 --> 01:40:15,300 of Governors are bankers at the Federal Reserve, which is not a 1733 01:40:15,300 --> 01:40:18,060 part of the government and their bankers overseeing their own 1734 01:40:18,060 --> 01:40:21,810 banks. And, and the government will be able to determine if 1735 01:40:21,810 --> 01:40:24,960 something needs to be unwound and they'll unwind it. So it's 1736 01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:29,730 moral hazard. It's go ahead and fail will bail don't fail. It's 1737 01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:32,550 It's easy. It's just a beautiful, beautiful system 1738 01:40:32,550 --> 01:40:36,300 that's being set up. And and then we'll be paying, you know, 1739 01:40:36,300 --> 01:40:39,390 as we already showed on the show, 25% more on energy, 1740 01:40:39,810 --> 01:40:42,750 because the rest will be stolen, and we'll probably get some kind 1741 01:40:42,750 --> 01:40:46,680 of bogus tax credit. Which that doesn't work for 1742 01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:48,990 me. Yeah, we won't even get that we will get we won't even get 1743 01:40:48,990 --> 01:40:51,300 the money, we'll get a tax credit. So you have to make the 1744 01:40:51,300 --> 01:40:52,980 money to get the money. Yeah, that never 1745 01:40:52,980 --> 01:40:55,710 works. For me. It's like I don't want a tax credit. Just give me 1746 01:40:55,710 --> 01:40:57,960 the cash. Just send us your cash up front. 1747 01:40:59,580 --> 01:41:02,460 And one more lighthearted news. Yes, I got a couple of 1748 01:41:02,460 --> 01:41:04,860 lighthearted ones as well, which you might want to finish with 1749 01:41:04,860 --> 01:41:10,140 those were up. Here you go. The NAACP in California endorsed the 1750 01:41:10,140 --> 01:41:11,820 merit marijuana law. 1751 01:41:11,910 --> 01:41:15,480 This is the National Association 1752 01:41:15,660 --> 01:41:20,400 for the Advancement of coloured people, right. And now all the 1753 01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:23,430 black ministers are all upset about this because they don't 1754 01:41:23,430 --> 01:41:25,350 think marijuana should be legalised. And nobody wants to 1755 01:41:25,350 --> 01:41:28,530 listen to the arguments for it, of course, and we have law 1756 01:41:28,530 --> 01:41:30,720 enforcement is going to be chiming in pretty soon there's 1757 01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:33,510 gonna be a whole bunch of very interesting ad campaign coming 1758 01:41:33,510 --> 01:41:37,650 up, I'm assuming probably later this year. I'm guessing it'll 1759 01:41:37,650 --> 01:41:41,340 get hot and heavy starting in September. We'll follow it. But 1760 01:41:41,340 --> 01:41:44,520 there's a little story on it and you can get see kind of the 1761 01:41:44,550 --> 01:41:47,940 didn't slant it one way or the other yet, because they don't 1762 01:41:47,940 --> 01:41:52,440 have any big PR agencies involved at the moment. 1763 01:41:53,039 --> 01:41:56,399 Here we go. The president of California's NAACP announced 1764 01:41:56,399 --> 01:41:59,609 today his organisation is supporting a November ballot 1765 01:41:59,609 --> 01:42:02,909 measure that would legalise marijuana. The group says it's a 1766 01:42:02,909 --> 01:42:07,139 matter of civil rights. It says last year 62% of those arrested 1767 01:42:07,139 --> 01:42:10,979 for marijuana possession were non white, and more than 40% 1768 01:42:11,039 --> 01:42:13,709 were under 20 years old. But some leaders in the black 1769 01:42:13,709 --> 01:42:16,409 community, especially religious leaders, suppose that 1770 01:42:16,409 --> 01:42:17,009 endorsement, 1771 01:42:17,340 --> 01:42:23,370 I think tobacco is is proven to kill you. And yet, they're not 1772 01:42:23,370 --> 01:42:26,220 putting kids in jail for having a pack of cigarettes. I mean, 1773 01:42:26,220 --> 01:42:28,080 come on. Let's get real in America. 1774 01:42:28,110 --> 01:42:31,080 If that's the case, then why don't we legalise crack cocaine. 1775 01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:35,550 Why don't we legalise burglary. It's a smokescreen. 1776 01:42:36,090 --> 01:42:39,600 Some church leaders are calling for the State NAACP president to 1777 01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:43,200 resign and even those who support legalising marijuana are 1778 01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:47,250 questioning why the NAACP is getting involved. Get ready to 1779 01:42:47,250 --> 01:42:48,180 pay more. 1780 01:42:49,050 --> 01:42:51,510 Okay, here's the interesting thing that minister comes out 1781 01:42:51,510 --> 01:42:54,480 and says, Why don't we legalise crack cocaine. So let's make the 1782 01:42:54,480 --> 01:42:59,190 argument stupid and burglaries. Yeah, but or burglary, right, 1783 01:42:59,190 --> 01:43:02,310 which is even dumber. And so which is a specious argument. 1784 01:43:02,310 --> 01:43:05,460 It's in fact it's not even very well, well argued. But then he 1785 01:43:05,460 --> 01:43:07,860 says it's only then he says it's a smokescreen. It's a 1786 01:43:07,860 --> 01:43:08,430 smokescreen 1787 01:43:08,430 --> 01:43:11,640 for what? Well, yeah. Pot. Yeah, it's 1788 01:43:12,210 --> 01:43:14,400 got to be a lot of smoke involved but was the smokescreen 1789 01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:15,210 for what? 1790 01:43:15,510 --> 01:43:19,770 I don't know. It was not in my prepackaged report. It was not 1791 01:43:19,770 --> 01:43:25,080 in my report, John, I don't know. I just don't know. Anyway, 1792 01:43:25,110 --> 01:43:26,430 we saved another life, John. 1793 01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:29,310 Good. By the way. We have actually a couple of letters 1794 01:43:29,310 --> 01:43:30,840 that came in we should probably discuss let 1795 01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:36,060 me do the life saving note that I'm so proud of this. I just 1796 01:43:36,060 --> 01:43:38,880 have to read most of it because it's just one of these stories. 1797 01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:41,160 A couple of weeks ago you guys read my letter I sent you about 1798 01:43:41,160 --> 01:43:46,320 starting Chantix Chantix. This is the cigarette smoking drug or 1799 01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:49,020 no agenda. Want to give you guys an update last Friday was at the 1800 01:43:49,020 --> 01:43:51,870 end of my second week of Chantix. I went out drinking 1801 01:43:51,870 --> 01:43:54,660 with some friends that night but did a great story by the way, 1802 01:43:54,690 --> 01:43:57,090 but didn't drink as much as I usually do. I was out for about 1803 01:43:57,090 --> 01:43:59,520 three hours. Last thing I remember I left the bar near my 1804 01:43:59,520 --> 01:44:02,820 house and was walking home. Next thing I know I'm in front of a 1805 01:44:02,820 --> 01:44:05,730 Random House and some cops arrive asking me what the hell I 1806 01:44:05,730 --> 01:44:09,240 was doing. I tell them I had no idea what I was doing how I even 1807 01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:13,230 got here. And the cops asked me where are your shoes? I looked 1808 01:44:13,230 --> 01:44:16,110 down and noticed my shoes were not on me. The cop finds my 1809 01:44:16,110 --> 01:44:19,290 shoes but not my belt that's gone missing. They asked me 1810 01:44:19,290 --> 01:44:21,540 where my car is. I tell them I have no clue. Last thing I 1811 01:44:21,540 --> 01:44:24,960 remember when I was walking home. The cop told me that he's 1812 01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:28,050 pretty chill cop. I'm lucky for not getting drunk enough for 1813 01:44:28,050 --> 01:44:30,990 getting a drunk in public arrest. It gives me a ride home 1814 01:44:30,990 --> 01:44:33,960 I miss going to work the next day. I noticed a few days before 1815 01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:37,020 this ordeal that Miss Ben Mason misplacing my keys my wallet, my 1816 01:44:37,020 --> 01:44:40,140 gym card, my work badge in short, we've gone nuts over the 1817 01:44:40,140 --> 01:44:44,460 Chantix stuff which is a lethal drug. I quit taking Chantix that 1818 01:44:44,460 --> 01:44:47,160 night when I remembered what you guys said about the chances of 1819 01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:50,670 quitting smoking on Chantix was about 22% or something effective 1820 01:44:50,670 --> 01:44:54,630 versus a placebo sugar pill which is 13% effective. Now we 1821 01:44:54,630 --> 01:44:57,360 of course pulled the commercials apart specifically for this 1822 01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:00,540 reason. So instead of Chantix, I take a sugar cane Use twice a 1823 01:45:00,540 --> 01:45:04,050 day as a placebo. It's working even better than the Chantix. I 1824 01:45:04,050 --> 01:45:06,630 have not cheated or smoked a single puff of a cigarette in 1825 01:45:06,630 --> 01:45:09,720 five days. I no longer have vivid dreams, no more insomnia, 1826 01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:13,710 no more nausea. In fact, I feel great. And my mind is more clear 1827 01:45:13,710 --> 01:45:17,790 than I was when I was on that crappy pill. Danny's not winding 1828 01:45:17,790 --> 01:45:24,240 up, hammered in front of random houses with no shoes on. And 1829 01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:28,410 then, disturbingly On another note, he told a co worker about 1830 01:45:28,410 --> 01:45:30,420 what had happened to him and he said, You know, I'm really lucky 1831 01:45:30,480 --> 01:45:33,150 that his co worker said you're lucky you didn't get a DUI he 1832 01:45:33,150 --> 01:45:38,160 said in his DUI class that about five people who got a DUI even 1833 01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:41,850 though they were not driving. One got a DUI This is driving 1834 01:45:41,850 --> 01:45:46,110 under influence inside Carl's Jr. While you could get arrested 1835 01:45:46,110 --> 01:45:49,470 for that, no matter what, because he was intoxicated they 1836 01:45:49,470 --> 01:45:52,350 asked him where his car was he said outside that checked his 1837 01:45:52,350 --> 01:45:55,830 pocket found car keys in his pockets and charged with DUI. 1838 01:45:56,730 --> 01:45:59,940 Because even though it because he was in he was intending to 1839 01:45:59,940 --> 01:46:01,590 drive, it's like a thought crime. 1840 01:46:02,039 --> 01:46:06,269 Yeah, no, I found this distressing. isn't done yet. I 1841 01:46:06,269 --> 01:46:09,869 believe it I believe some stuff like this happens. But I mean, 1842 01:46:09,869 --> 01:46:12,959 that's, by the way with it with the economy in the tank like 1843 01:46:12,959 --> 01:46:15,869 this. More and more of this sort of thing is going to happen 1844 01:46:15,929 --> 01:46:18,389 because it brings revenues in now 1845 01:46:18,419 --> 01:46:23,189 that brings us to our second email, which I think this is the 1846 01:46:23,219 --> 01:46:27,239 tale of a deadbeat dad. Do you want to summarise this? 1847 01:46:27,539 --> 01:46:31,949 Well, this guy got thrown in jail. He's actually he's out of 1848 01:46:31,949 --> 01:46:34,469 work. And him and his wife came back he has he has he's been 1849 01:46:34,469 --> 01:46:37,289 battling cancer. Yeah, right. I'm sorry. He's been battling 1850 01:46:37,289 --> 01:46:41,549 cancer. And so he's got a whole series of problems. Yes. He and 1851 01:46:41,549 --> 01:46:45,419 his wife is behind him on this and he can't, he has to catch up 1852 01:46:45,419 --> 01:46:46,709 to his child support. But 1853 01:46:46,710 --> 01:46:50,850 actually, his wife is like, you know, hey, I understand but it's 1854 01:46:50,850 --> 01:46:54,120 an automatic thing because the it's got nothing to do with his 1855 01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:57,060 wife, right? The courts you know, the the system takes your 1856 01:46:57,060 --> 01:46:58,890 money. I mean, I've only read some 1857 01:46:58,890 --> 01:47:01,350 of this. However, the county collects the child support from 1858 01:47:01,350 --> 01:47:04,980 me and it gives it to her. So they're aware of how behind I am 1859 01:47:04,980 --> 01:47:07,440 every two to three months a warrant is issued for sheriff 1860 01:47:07,440 --> 01:47:10,560 show up at the door at the door and s and take me in front of a 1861 01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:12,870 judge who also knows the situation points out how 1862 01:47:12,870 --> 01:47:17,310 ridiculous it is. And lets me go since my being behind is kind of 1863 01:47:17,310 --> 01:47:21,510 out of control. Apparently more recently, I guess he ended up on 1864 01:47:21,510 --> 01:47:24,270 a Friday, late Friday afternoon there was a knock at the door to 1865 01:47:24,270 --> 01:47:27,240 sheriff's were there and they they took me in. Here's the 1866 01:47:27,240 --> 01:47:29,640 problem since I was late in the day, it was late in the day I 1867 01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:32,310 was going to have to spend a weekend in the county prison 1868 01:47:32,490 --> 01:47:35,340 until the courts opened on Monday a brand new level of 1869 01:47:35,340 --> 01:47:38,670 hell. I gotten used to the routine arrest but spending a 1870 01:47:38,670 --> 01:47:41,970 weekend in prison was a new experience. I had no idea that 1871 01:47:41,970 --> 01:47:46,110 prisoners prisoners experienced some observations I made in the 1872 01:47:46,110 --> 01:47:49,980 process. Other than me, everyone I saw there was in prison for 1873 01:47:49,980 --> 01:47:54,990 minor charges, mostly pot dealing or smoking. One person 1874 01:47:54,990 --> 01:47:58,080 was locked up over an open container violation. It must be 1875 01:47:58,080 --> 01:48:00,720 nice to know that there's no crime to worry about over here. 1876 01:48:01,110 --> 01:48:04,080 I do know the state pays the county based on prison 1877 01:48:04,110 --> 01:48:08,130 occupancy. After hearing some of the bail stories. I'm convinced 1878 01:48:08,130 --> 01:48:10,740 that the system is set up to make sure that people are locked 1879 01:48:10,740 --> 01:48:15,570 away to increase county income $10,000 bail for an open 1880 01:48:15,570 --> 01:48:19,290 container violation is out of line in my opinion. This is a 1881 01:48:19,290 --> 01:48:23,700 New York by the way, New York state which is broke. 1882 01:48:23,970 --> 01:48:26,970 And then they wanted to vaccinate him. They they tried 1883 01:48:26,970 --> 01:48:31,260 to give him vaccinations for Hepatitis A Hepatitis B flu, 1884 01:48:31,350 --> 01:48:35,280 pneumonia vaccines. He explained that he was under doctor's care, 1885 01:48:35,280 --> 01:48:39,780 the guys battling cancer. So he had to really fight that off and 1886 01:48:39,780 --> 01:48:42,720 he did all sorts of blood and urine tests. They tested him. So 1887 01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:44,610 these times I'm sure they get money for this as well. 1888 01:48:44,610 --> 01:48:47,310 Yeah, this is all they get the guy in there that if he if he 1889 01:48:47,310 --> 01:48:50,310 takes one of these shots, they get paid. They have to test him 1890 01:48:50,310 --> 01:48:53,130 for this and that they get paid. They got him in there. They get 1891 01:48:53,130 --> 01:48:56,340 paid. This is this is a crock of crap going on here. 1892 01:48:56,520 --> 01:49:04,920 And then he he he couldn't pee. Because he says he has a shy 1893 01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:08,070 bladder as hard. He says when you got a 300 pound guy staring 1894 01:49:08,070 --> 01:49:11,790 at your penis. And then he said I made one big mistake. They 1895 01:49:11,790 --> 01:49:15,270 asked me how my mental state was while I was in medical. And he 1896 01:49:15,270 --> 01:49:17,040 said Well, to be honest. My first time in prison. I'm a 1897 01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:19,770 little nervous. This kicked off a number of alarms. First off, 1898 01:49:19,770 --> 01:49:23,640 they insisted on getting the Ativan. I don't know what that 1899 01:49:23,640 --> 01:49:24,270 is, but I'm sure it 1900 01:49:24,270 --> 01:49:27,360 said the Ativan is one of these days and anti nervous pills 1901 01:49:27,450 --> 01:49:29,880 made me see a mental health professional since they were 1902 01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:35,250 concerned I might kill myself. And they offered me an Ativan 1903 01:49:35,250 --> 01:49:44,100 script when I was leaving to keep me docile. So he's he says 1904 01:49:44,100 --> 01:49:46,230 it just it's you know, it's a report straight from the 1905 01:49:46,230 --> 01:49:49,590 slammer. And you're right John, particularly in the in the hard 1906 01:49:49,590 --> 01:49:52,440 times now with the economic crisis, the jails have to fill 1907 01:49:52,440 --> 01:49:54,360 them up, bring them in, fill them up, doesn't matter what 1908 01:49:54,360 --> 01:49:57,420 you're doing. You got to throw you in jail. So we can make some 1909 01:49:57,420 --> 01:50:00,000 money and they're making money on all fronts on the on the job. 1910 01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:03,000 drugs they give you on the vaccines they give you on 1911 01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:03,930 locking you up. 1912 01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:06,840 I can't believe over a weekend somebody wants to give him a 1913 01:50:06,840 --> 01:50:14,100 shot flu shot. Yeah. Wow. So anyway, that looks like they're 1914 01:50:14,100 --> 01:50:16,110 starting to destroy some of those flu shots. And are they 1915 01:50:16,140 --> 01:50:18,480 getting you know? Well, nobody's using? 1916 01:50:18,959 --> 01:50:22,409 Well, no, they're what I read is they're folding it into the 1917 01:50:22,409 --> 01:50:27,329 seasonal flu shot, both in Gitmo nation, East and West.
