1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,500 That's not a great question. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak. 2 00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:08,040 It's Thursday, January 5 2012. Time for your gizmo nation media 3 00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:10,500 assassination episode 371. 4 00:00:11,070 --> 00:00:13,050 This is no agenda 5 00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:17,070 for nicking the Presidential X Factor reality show from Camp 6 00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:20,940 MoPhO here in Austin, Texas, the capital of the drone Star State 7 00:00:20,940 --> 00:00:23,100 in the morning, everybody.

And so the notes were put where they're normally put, 15 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,920 which is on the back of two envelopes. 16 00:00:51,330 --> 00:00:54,810 The old school system? You mean our old filing system? works? 17 00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:57,480 Yeah, ad works. And does 18 00:00:58,050 --> 00:01:01,950 look stuff up, though. Yeah. Would you flip through the old 19 00:01:02,550 --> 00:01:03,150 envelope? Would 20 00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:05,550 you speak out of the Red Book? Would you mind stepping into the 21 00:01:05,550 --> 00:01:10,830 time machine for a second here? No, no, no, no, just No, no, no, 22 00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:13,500 John, John. John, just get in. Just 23 00:01:13,529 --> 00:01:15,989 just just just get his music. I 24 00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:20,340 don't know why. Just get in. Okay. There's the music for the 25 00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:24,930 time. I'll take you back to Sunday show one for Ron Paul. 26 00:01:25,020 --> 00:01:29,490 Three for Mitt. One for ball. Three for Mitt. That's how it's 27 00:01:29,490 --> 00:01:30,870 gonna be. It's gonna be one way. 28 00:01:31,259 --> 00:01:33,599 Here. Let's make some predictions. We got Oh, damn, I 29 00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:36,029 got the new red book, but it's downstairs on. I'm not gonna go 30 00:01:36,029 --> 00:01:39,269 down and get it. I'll have to write on a piece of paper. 31 00:01:39,660 --> 00:01:41,190 I can give you the prediction right now. 32 00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:44,160 Okay, give me your prediction. Okay. 33 00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:52,890 Mitt Romney wins. Number two, Rick Santorum, because they've 34 00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:55,080 just all of a sudden, all of a sudden he's surging in the 35 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,140 polls. So the fix is in on him. They gotta have they gotta have 36 00:01:58,140 --> 00:02:00,660 a buffer between him and Ron Paul. Ron Paul will be third. 37 00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:04,200 Even though of course he will win the election, the nomination 38 00:02:04,260 --> 00:02:07,020 to the caucus. You will actually win it, but they're gonna 39 00:02:07,050 --> 00:02:12,240 they're going to fake it up. It'll be Romney. Santorum, and 40 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:20,580 then Ron Paul. Okay, you can get out of the time machine now. No, 41 00:02:20,580 --> 00:02:27,120 no, no, no, it's this one. About that, huh? 42 00:02:28,230 --> 00:02:29,790 Yeah, that was spot on. 43 00:02:31,230 --> 00:02:35,100 Yeah. And people were saying, How did you know? It's so easy. 44 00:02:35,130 --> 00:02:35,520 It's just 45 00:02:35,550 --> 00:02:39,690 Well, I have to remind people that you have a thesis, which I 46 00:02:39,690 --> 00:02:43,080 think pays off more often than not, and which is that 47 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,350 everything is everything is rigged. And I think you're this 48 00:02:46,620 --> 00:02:54,810 matches your this matches your World Cup. Yeah. Which actually, 49 00:02:54,810 --> 00:03:02,850 I totally subscribe to the idea that all World Cups are the 50 00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:06,780 winners are based on geopolitical aspects of the 51 00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:07,710 day's news. 52 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,840 Indeed. And this was it was actually quite funny. Now, I 53 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,360 don't know if I think you were doing the Dvorak Horowitz 54 00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:20,490 unplugged show? Although. So it was two hours later from you 55 00:03:20,490 --> 00:03:23,910 actually stayed up until two in the morning. Just because it was 56 00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:26,730 it was such interesting. Not great, but interesting. 57 00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:29,760 Oh, wait, you just because you nailed the prediction. You just 58 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,100 wanted to make sure you when you went to bed you are happy? 59 00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:35,850 Yeah, no, I had a blog post all ready to go and like yeah, no, 60 00:03:36,090 --> 00:03:38,910 no, yeah, no, no. I mean, they had me on the edge of my seat. 61 00:03:38,940 --> 00:03:41,340 Um, but I knew it. I knew what was going to happen. I was it 62 00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:45,150 was like, everything was so beautifully scripted. If you and 63 00:03:45,150 --> 00:03:49,020 I had sat down and said, Okay, we have to do this week's 64 00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:53,850 episode of the presidential X Factor reality show. We would 65 00:03:53,850 --> 00:03:57,930 have done it exactly like this. This is and the way Ron Paul 66 00:03:57,930 --> 00:04:03,060 first showed up and did his speech. And then we had Santorum 67 00:04:03,060 --> 00:04:08,160 show up and do his speech during his speech. He jumps ahead by by 68 00:04:08,190 --> 00:04:12,690 No, no, he's ahead. He jumped he doesn't speech, then Romney 69 00:04:12,690 --> 00:04:16,380 jumps ahead, then then it's back to Santorum and the centaurum 70 00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:19,590 stays ahead until the very end, and then they can't get the 71 00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:25,080 results is it was like, okay, really is so perfect. You know, 72 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,520 clearly it was rigged. And it doesn't matter, because in the 73 00:04:29,550 --> 00:04:35,010 in the system, Ron Paul not only got the electoral votes that he 74 00:04:35,010 --> 00:04:37,380 needs, which is seven, I believe so each of the 75 00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:41,400 well that's not necessarily true, because it turns out when 76 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,340 you start looking into it, that this whole thing is something of 77 00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:48,210 a facade, because they still have another they have another 78 00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:51,120 meeting and then they maybe throw all the votes into anybody 79 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,600 they want to this whole thing was this caucus thing is not 80 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,440 necessarily it's not necessarily by law divided up into each 81 00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,970 person getting X number of votes. Now 82 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,410 Oh, but what the Ron Paul campaign has done is they made 83 00:05:04,410 --> 00:05:07,200 sure that their people stayed so that they would actually become 84 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,250 delegates. And I think that's why you get those delegates and 85 00:05:11,250 --> 00:05:14,370 that's what you want as you so it was a completely useless 86 00:05:14,370 --> 00:05:18,510 exercise. It was only good for television. I mean, did you see 87 00:05:19,050 --> 00:05:23,190 Did you watch the very end when the votes I mean, it was it was 88 00:05:23,250 --> 00:05:26,310 absolutely crazy. Anderson Cooper at a certain point said 89 00:05:26,310 --> 00:05:30,120 to what's that? What's that financial douchebags name on 90 00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:32,760 CNN? Are we Gucci 91 00:05:32,850 --> 00:05:34,260 douche bag on CNN? 92 00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:40,320 He says, What the hell is this magic Twitter while you've got 93 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,890 What the hell does it mean? Like the welcome clearly discrediting 94 00:05:43,890 --> 00:05:46,920 all of their stuff. They're swooping stuff back and forth 95 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,340 between screens. Erin Burnett, walking around without her shoes 96 00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:55,200 on, by the way. From purely from a television producer 97 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,760 standpoint, she's done a good job on her lower half. 98 00:05:59,969 --> 00:06:02,849 She's losing weight. You're what you're saying. She's losing 99 00:06:02,849 --> 00:06:04,709 weight still need some work? Well, she's 100 00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:08,100 dressing in black so she hides the belly a little bit, but no, 101 00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:11,070 it's good. I think it's good. The legs still need some work 102 00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:15,630 and stuff. That's why she's not on Fox and why she's on CNN. But 103 00:06:15,630 --> 00:06:20,190 it was just funny at Fox was even funnier. They had What's 104 00:06:20,190 --> 00:06:24,120 your face? The girl who needs to eat Megan? Megan Kelly. Yeah, 105 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,150 she needs to eat. She's She's She's thinning out too much. 106 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,370 She needs Ido. Right. At a certain point. She's 107 00:06:29,370 --> 00:06:32,760 like, zoom out. There's no one here is just us in the makeup 108 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,270 people. 109 00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:38,070 Man, they totally broke down. 110 00:06:38,850 --> 00:06:40,980 Well, they were sick of working on. I mean, that's East Coast 111 00:06:40,980 --> 00:06:43,260 time those three, four in the morning. 112 00:06:44,310 --> 00:06:48,000 It was hilarious. It was a good television. That's what it was. 113 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,970 And I think that the only reason they delayed the the final 114 00:06:50,970 --> 00:06:54,660 results is because I guess they had had to make goods to do or 115 00:06:54,660 --> 00:06:57,330 something on the on the advertiser the ads. Yeah, there 116 00:06:57,330 --> 00:07:03,750 was we ran. It was like three in the morning. Man. So I was 117 00:07:03,750 --> 00:07:07,560 watching C span about this voting process. They had Linda 118 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,740 up Meyer on who was the president of the Iowa caucus? 119 00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:15,510 Who, how. And she makes a number of faux pas. Here's a guy who 120 00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:20,550 calls in. And he's clearly crazy. Of course, that's Yeah, 121 00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:23,670 whenever you call him on the independent line. You can even 122 00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:28,080 see the host go home go I do zoom, crazy crowd breaking up. I 123 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,150 want to make sure that we get this right, you're hearing that 124 00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:33,930 the final tally from Iowa would be counted in Illinois. 125 00:07:34,289 --> 00:07:38,849 Yeah, I just saw that was a report on radio. Just yesterday. 126 00:07:39,119 --> 00:07:44,009 I just read that this morning on the internet. So having a title, 127 00:07:44,669 --> 00:07:47,999 Republican leader, I would like to know where are these votes 128 00:07:47,999 --> 00:07:50,729 going to be counted? Are they gonna be? Or are they doing 129 00:07:50,729 --> 00:07:54,209 anything different this time? Are they gonna be counted behind 130 00:07:54,209 --> 00:07:55,019 closed doors? 131 00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:58,170 Let's talk about how the caucuses work. Go ahead. The 132 00:07:58,170 --> 00:07:58,770 nightmare? 133 00:08:00,030 --> 00:08:02,310 Sure, sure. That's a great question. 134 00:08:02,460 --> 00:08:04,200 That's a great question. That's a 135 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:09,420 great question. It's not even it's not even a question. Well, 136 00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:12,750 I guess it isn't in the Vegas sense. But how do the caucuses 137 00:08:12,750 --> 00:08:15,150 work is not a great question. 138 00:08:15,479 --> 00:08:17,669 But that's not actually the question. The question is, will 139 00:08:17,669 --> 00:08:22,079 the votes be counted? In Illinois? That's the question. 140 00:08:22,140 --> 00:08:24,060 Well, I know. But the question that she said it was a great 141 00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:25,770 question was refreshing refers to? That's 142 00:08:25,770 --> 00:08:28,710 a great question. Would you like to hear the answer to this great 143 00:08:28,710 --> 00:08:30,930 question, which is not an answer. 144 00:08:31,980 --> 00:08:37,920 Every individual vote that is cast at a caucus will be counted 145 00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:44,280 at the caucus, in full view of everyone there. Every one of the 146 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,600 candidates has an opportunity to have an observer, watch that 147 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:53,430 count. So everything is counted there. Then they are called in 148 00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:58,410 to a central location. And all that is tallied. Typically that 149 00:08:58,410 --> 00:09:01,740 has been at Camp error. Excuse me at Park camp. 150 00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:04,770 What what what was she going to say? Do you think? I don't know 151 00:09:04,770 --> 00:09:10,260 camp? David? Camp? Yeah. MoPhO. Camp MoPhO. Here. Count of the 152 00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:12,510 votes. Hello. We have the votes from Camp MoPhO 153 00:09:12,540 --> 00:09:17,160 headquarters in Des Moines. I'm not positive. If that's exactly 154 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:17,850 the location. 155 00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:21,120 She's the president of the whole shebang. I'm not positive. So 156 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,670 she doesn't answer the question. She's not positive. That's where 157 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:26,190 it was done. To. There's some other guy that I found on the 158 00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:30,120 unit who called into the press office there, the Iowa 159 00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:35,490 Republican or whatever, whoever counts the votes. And, and the 160 00:09:35,490 --> 00:09:38,400 answers that he got into a little snippet here. Were quite 161 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,670 revealing, because the way it works, as you just heard, Linda, 162 00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:46,080 great question. The admirer say is their tally locally, and then 163 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,370 they're called in to a central location. And that, of course, 164 00:09:50,370 --> 00:09:51,900 is the weak link. But I mean, 165 00:09:52,170 --> 00:09:55,680 either way, if it's if it's entered into, into into into a 166 00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:58,620 system, and then that system, there's another human on the 167 00:09:58,620 --> 00:10:03,630 other end of that system. You know, checking checking those 168 00:10:03,630 --> 00:10:05,550 votes? What's the difference between that and someone calling 169 00:10:05,550 --> 00:10:09,030 in? I mean, either way they can. The numbers can be falsified. 170 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,140 Oh, really? 171 00:10:10,170 --> 00:10:14,010 Numbers can be falsified. Oh, right. So the guy goes, 172 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,100 that's what I'm talking about getting it. Yeah, there any 173 00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,280 possibility to these numbers can be falsified in the Iowa caucus 174 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,330 that's coming up? No, absolutely not. That would be Listen, 175 00:10:24,330 --> 00:10:25,110 listen to what he said. 176 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,500 or anything like that. 177 00:10:28,530 --> 00:10:31,710 It wouldn't benefit anybody. No, I wouldn't benefit to do that 178 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,650 would make no sense. Why would anyone want to falsify that 179 00:10:35,070 --> 00:10:40,590 makes no benefit. But of course during the broadcast, this is 180 00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:45,000 the single most tweeted item and emailed link to me, which I'm 181 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,800 sure you got exactly the same was when they cut over to the 182 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,960 Ron Paul camp they did they went Ron Paul camp, Santorum camp 183 00:10:55,530 --> 00:11:01,140 Romney camp in their the Ron Paul camp, and again, there's a 184 00:11:01,170 --> 00:11:06,060 soldier in fatigues with a really big 911 Never forget 185 00:11:06,060 --> 00:11:11,310 tattooed in his neck. But oh boy, the following happens for 186 00:11:11,310 --> 00:11:13,620 those of you who are not aware of this, and of course, we do 187 00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:16,290 have many listeners outside of Gitmo nation proper here, 188 00:11:16,590 --> 00:11:19,560 Paul, let's go to Danna bash over at Ron Paul headquarters 189 00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:22,770 right now. I guess more and more people are coming back from 190 00:11:22,770 --> 00:11:25,890 their caucuses to wait for the candidate. 191 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,320 That's right. And we have here somebody who actually did just 192 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,950 go vote for Ron Paul a first time caucus voter, Corporal 193 00:11:34,950 --> 00:11:39,180 Jesse Thorson, who is 28 years old and you're active duty US 194 00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:40,560 Army. Why did you vote for 195 00:11:40,590 --> 00:11:42,990 it? Let's be in the control room. John. Okay. You want to be 196 00:11:42,990 --> 00:11:46,440 the best producer or the director? Which one do you want 197 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:46,770 to be? 198 00:11:47,220 --> 00:11:51,390 I'll be the director. Okay. Camera to Well, I 199 00:11:51,420 --> 00:11:55,080 I'm really excited to close zoom in on him. Especially when it 200 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,310 comes to moving to move for 10 years now shot all 10 years. 201 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,070 Someone ready over at the Romney camp to see a little peacetime 202 00:12:02,070 --> 00:12:04,110 army. And I think he has come in. 203 00:12:04,260 --> 00:12:06,780 You have done two tours in Afghanistan. You told me you're 204 00:12:09,090 --> 00:12:11,670 I mean, if you can see, though, she had the script your neck 205 00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:15,330 right there. She had the script on your tattoo 911. Picture. 206 00:12:16,290 --> 00:12:19,320 What is she? What is she talking about this tattoos? 207 00:12:19,770 --> 00:12:25,110 Very dangerous, what she wants to bring, like you cut it back 208 00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:25,650 on your host. 209 00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:29,760 Well, I think it would be even more dangerous to start Romney. 210 00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:35,250 Romney Israel is more capable, can mess up the satellite link. 211 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,330 Well, we just lost our tech connection, unfortunately, with 212 00:12:39,330 --> 00:12:41,550 data Dennis, standby, if you can hear me we're gonna get back. 213 00:12:41,550 --> 00:12:44,010 You want to go to Kenny Crowley over at Mitt Romney 214 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,310 headquarters? She's really big fill up that room over there. 215 00:12:48,930 --> 00:12:50,670 She's filling up the room. All right. 216 00:12:51,990 --> 00:12:55,200 And of course, he never came back to him? Of course not. But 217 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,650 it was funny because at a certain point, Anderson Cooper 218 00:12:58,650 --> 00:13:02,970 actually made a comment about it. And he said, I don't have 219 00:13:02,970 --> 00:13:05,820 that here. But he said, Well, you know, we lost the satellite 220 00:13:05,820 --> 00:13:08,160 link. And of course, people on the internet are gonna say we 221 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,810 did it on purpose. Yeah. Why even mentioned that? Because the 222 00:13:12,810 --> 00:13:14,430 internet was saying that you did 223 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,650 it on purpose. So obvious. And then then if that's the only you 224 00:13:19,650 --> 00:13:20,580 know, yeah, it was. 225 00:13:22,230 --> 00:13:25,530 We'd be really good at this. I mean, and we'd work for peanuts. 226 00:13:26,070 --> 00:13:30,960 We'd work cheap would when we're working cheap now. Yeah, no 227 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,420 kidding me by the way in the morning to John I forgot to say 228 00:13:33,420 --> 00:13:33,810 that 229 00:13:34,020 --> 00:13:36,090 in the morning. Do you Adam curry in the morning all ships 230 00:13:36,090 --> 00:13:40,020 at sea boots on the ground and caucuses in the in New 231 00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:45,270 Hampshire's in the mountains? Yes. In the mountains. And so I 232 00:13:45,270 --> 00:13:47,640 noticed. Let me just go bear and I have a clip for you. 233 00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:51,270 Let me just say hi to the chat room. Oh, hello, chat room. Yes 234 00:13:51,270 --> 00:13:53,730 in the morning to your chat room. No agenda stream.com no 235 00:13:53,730 --> 00:13:58,020 agenda chat.net always hear in a full blown caucusing mode when 236 00:13:58,020 --> 00:14:01,080 we're doing the show live on Sunday and Thursday mornings 237 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,270 nine o'clock Gitmo nation West time. 238 00:14:04,860 --> 00:14:10,560 So the Colbert show has just been caught very jumps off of a 239 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,960 cliff with a holding a flag and they always have these different 240 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,720 words flying around him and his one they change every so often. 241 00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:19,080 And there's only one time I've ever seen where he said the 242 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,640 little phrase once and then the next day it was gone. Which was 243 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:30,690 caucus blocker or no I'm not not caucus but caucus tees. And I 244 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,900 was thinking about if apparently I was like the last person in 245 00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:35,460 the family to get the joke 246 00:14:35,490 --> 00:14:39,150 as in cocktease Yeah, well you're you're not a sexually 247 00:14:39,150 --> 00:14:41,370 oriented guy. That's my generally not 248 00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:46,530 I'm not I don't have a filthy mind to put it that way. Like 249 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:47,100 you 250 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,890 I'm still young and vibrant. Alright, do you ever click now 251 00:14:52,890 --> 00:14:53,460 you don't have a clue. 252 00:14:53,489 --> 00:14:56,129 I do have a clip I want to play the only one of the clips I 253 00:14:56,129 --> 00:14:58,979 thought was interesting. Or while you're somebody was 254 00:14:58,979 --> 00:15:03,029 actually on CNN play Add Romney in 2008, which I'm not sure that 255 00:15:03,479 --> 00:15:06,899 the overriding meaning of this, but I found it to be kind of 256 00:15:06,899 --> 00:15:07,589 interesting. 257 00:15:07,620 --> 00:15:11,160 Cedar Rapids is in Lane County 6.6% of the population. Governor 258 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,310 Romney, Santorum third there. That's one of the reasons. So as 259 00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:17,820 you watch this now you have the closest race in Iowa caucus 260 00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:23,610 history. Wow. Governor Romney wins 30,015 votes. You want to 261 00:15:23,610 --> 00:15:28,680 see something Erie 25% 30,015 votes, we go back four years. 262 00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:35,250 Governor Romney 30,021 votes? Six votes? Yeah. 263 00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:37,410 He got less votes, actually. 264 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:45,780 It was, it was all very, very funny. And I'm ready to I think 265 00:15:45,780 --> 00:15:48,630 what happened by the way, you know, so Rick Perry said, You're 266 00:15:48,630 --> 00:15:55,620 gonna go back to Texas and pray. And and Michelle Bachman said, 267 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,160 you know, we're moving forward, so we knew she was out. But I 268 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,030 think Perry got the four. I think Perry got the call, like, 269 00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:07,440 Hello. Yeah. Hi, this is the producer of the presidential X 270 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,130 Factor reality show. I'm sorry, we really need you for this. 271 00:16:11,370 --> 00:16:15,300 This next episode. You know, it's really important for the 272 00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:18,750 ratings. You are you're completely loved. I will give 273 00:16:18,750 --> 00:16:21,450 you a little bump. You know, so you don't have to go into feet. 274 00:16:21,450 --> 00:16:24,360 You can? No, we're gonna give you a bump for next week or two. 275 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,430 So he's coming back. 276 00:16:27,089 --> 00:16:29,429 Yeah, I think there's a couple more interesting things coming 277 00:16:29,429 --> 00:16:32,969 up. They tried to tease one or I think possibly Gingrich went off 278 00:16:32,969 --> 00:16:36,059 the reservation because this didn't get much play. Anywhere. 279 00:16:36,059 --> 00:16:37,739 It was on one of the morning shows. It may have been the 280 00:16:37,739 --> 00:16:41,849 Today Show. And it was reprieved on Colbert. So there's a laugh 281 00:16:41,849 --> 00:16:45,119 track behind it. But I want to play it because I thought it was 282 00:16:45,119 --> 00:16:47,789 the funniest thing. And I know it was not part of the script 283 00:16:47,789 --> 00:16:52,319 because the way it was played out. But look for the words that 284 00:16:52,319 --> 00:16:56,579 clip Gingrich, Gingrich, Newt on Romney suppressed. 285 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,940 Okay. Are you calling Mitt Romney a liar? Yes. 286 00:17:04,260 --> 00:17:05,610 You're calling me a liar. 287 00:17:06,990 --> 00:17:15,210 Once you seen shotput? Yes. Here's this is a man whose staff 288 00:17:15,210 --> 00:17:17,700 created the pack. His millionaire friends fund the 289 00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:20,970 pack. He pretends he has nothing to do with the pack. It's 290 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:21,750 baloney. 291 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,960 So I found this to be quite interesting. And it should make 292 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,490 for a really good rating on the upcoming Friday or tomorrow's 293 00:17:32,490 --> 00:17:33,630 debate. Yes. Well, 294 00:17:33,630 --> 00:17:36,630 I think what to what happened, because, you know, everyone was 295 00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:39,150 talking about his concession speech where he was really, you 296 00:17:39,150 --> 00:17:43,590 know, he's like, really angry. Yeah. And I think he's angry 297 00:17:43,590 --> 00:17:47,430 because the Clintons had promised to buy a whole bunch 298 00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:50,460 more votes. And either they didn't just put enough money 299 00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:54,000 into it, or whatever. But they failed him. And he was like, 300 00:17:54,030 --> 00:17:58,500 What is this? You guys promised me this? You promised me a tarp 301 00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:02,490 to your position. So he was just po that he hadn't gotten the 302 00:18:02,490 --> 00:18:05,970 support that the Clintons promised them. That's my 303 00:18:05,970 --> 00:18:08,700 assertion. Obviously, that should be in the second half of 304 00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:11,520 the show. There's much better stuff coming up for the second 305 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:18,840 half of the show. But I do think that we can't make any real 306 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,090 predictions until after Saturday's debate, because of 307 00:18:21,090 --> 00:18:23,880 course, we'll have the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, 308 00:18:24,180 --> 00:18:27,930 preliminary script writing, I would say we keep Santorum in 309 00:18:27,930 --> 00:18:33,660 the running, we move Perry up. To have more story. We have to 310 00:18:33,660 --> 00:18:37,200 have a little bit of a Cinderella story to obfuscate 311 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,870 Ron Paul success once again. So I think that's probably where 312 00:18:39,870 --> 00:18:42,750 it'll go. Most importantly, though, I think the lineup on 313 00:18:42,750 --> 00:18:45,450 Saturdays debate is something we need to look at. I would be 314 00:18:45,450 --> 00:18:49,860 putting obviously Mitt Romney in the middle Santorum, basically 315 00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:53,850 those two guys next to each other, you know, used to be new 316 00:18:53,850 --> 00:18:58,200 to Newt. We'll have to move over one. But the question is, do we 317 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:06,900 put Ron Paul next to Santorum or Romney? I'm thinking Romney 318 00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:12,239 Well, I have a problem with not putting Gingrich next to Romney 319 00:19:12,239 --> 00:19:14,369 because that's where the fireworks and that's where the 320 00:19:14,369 --> 00:19:15,089 ratings are 321 00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:18,450 very good. Okay. You're hearing your production meeting and 322 00:19:18,450 --> 00:19:19,380 process by the way 323 00:19:20,250 --> 00:19:22,470 okay. But the problem is, is that you're gonna get some 324 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:25,560 blowback from the audience because especially the Ron Paul 325 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,790 audience, which is the most the most vocal and you know, point 326 00:19:29,820 --> 00:19:31,920 they point the finger at everything so if you so if you 327 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,470 hadn't a centre you'd have Romney in the centre as usual 328 00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:39,510 and if you put any flanked in with Santorum and and Gingrich 329 00:19:39,690 --> 00:19:42,540 and it would Paul over it would cause a rock huge 330 00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:48,930 ruckus Yeah. So those two Why don't we put the Texans next to 331 00:19:48,930 --> 00:19:51,210 each other so they can cancel each other out? 332 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,930 Well, I I think you could actually almost take a chit 333 00:19:57,930 --> 00:20:00,360 Well, it's sort of content is backwards. Still, we're 334 00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:01,230 screwed. You're gonna 335 00:20:01,230 --> 00:20:04,890 have to put Romney in the middle then you have to put Gingrich on 336 00:20:04,890 --> 00:20:09,390 his left, right. Good. Good spa on his right. And then you would 337 00:20:09,390 --> 00:20:10,140 have to put 338 00:20:10,170 --> 00:20:12,450 a parry next to that. 339 00:20:13,410 --> 00:20:15,870 No, I'm thinking where you gonna put Gingrich? I think Gingrich 340 00:20:15,870 --> 00:20:19,350 should be on the side of Santorum who as opposed to 341 00:20:19,350 --> 00:20:22,410 decide of Ron Paul because it would be better to put Perry 342 00:20:22,410 --> 00:20:25,530 next to Ron Paul and then you could marginalise the two Texans 343 00:20:25,530 --> 00:20:26,370 is a yes. 344 00:20:26,370 --> 00:20:29,310 And I think we should have Ron Paul way left, because that's 345 00:20:29,310 --> 00:20:33,300 how we're positioning him in the media is is these even more left 346 00:20:33,300 --> 00:20:36,690 than Obama? But where do we put Huntsman because it's 347 00:20:36,690 --> 00:20:41,580 unbalanced? We don't have any Well, are we inviting him? He 348 00:20:41,580 --> 00:20:44,190 got wrong. We're not if we invited we're not paying for his 349 00:20:44,190 --> 00:20:49,350 transportation. You can get his own damn hotel room. 350 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,720 I thought that was everybody had to get their own. Oh, yeah. 351 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,870 Right. I can just see Huntsville. Hey, I'm here for my 352 00:20:57,870 --> 00:21:01,350 per diem. Yes, we have the envelope for you here. 353 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,780 Yeah, you're right. It is unbalanced. I think they're just 354 00:21:03,780 --> 00:21:04,950 had to drop Huntsman. 355 00:21:05,669 --> 00:21:09,119 We'll see. I you know, we'll see. We'll see. It'd be 356 00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:11,430 great to have just the five guys that would be nice to town. 357 00:21:11,550 --> 00:21:15,720 Yeah. Yeah, it looks great on camera. Otherwise, you have to 358 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:21,270 get the job out again, cost extra money. Before we get into 359 00:21:21,300 --> 00:21:24,990 thanking some of our producers here, I would like to play a 360 00:21:24,990 --> 00:21:28,680 prediction from a different red book, which was completely 361 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:34,650 surprising to me. Pat Robertson, who has the what is it? Is it 362 00:21:34,650 --> 00:21:37,230 the CBN? The Christian Broadcast bypassing 363 00:21:37,230 --> 00:21:37,980 network? Yeah. 364 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,600 So Pat Robertson has been a he's been at the forefront of 365 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,850 American politics since the 60s. Has he not? 366 00:21:45,660 --> 00:21:47,610 If you want to call it that? Well, don't 367 00:21:47,610 --> 00:21:51,150 all the presidents talk to him. And isn't don't isn't that 368 00:21:51,150 --> 00:21:53,550 sure that Obama has ever had a word with him? 369 00:21:53,730 --> 00:21:56,340 About previous presidents? Certainly Republican presidents 370 00:21:56,340 --> 00:22:00,420 have spoken with him. Yeah, advisor really had much to do 371 00:22:00,420 --> 00:22:02,370 with Clinton wasn't a Republican. 372 00:22:03,390 --> 00:22:08,070 Well, Clinton was a Republican as far as I'm concerned. Okay. 373 00:22:10,260 --> 00:22:12,510 So he had a talk with God. 374 00:22:13,740 --> 00:22:16,260 Oh, well, that was must have been entertaining. 375 00:22:16,620 --> 00:22:20,850 It was because God apparently told him who was going to be the 376 00:22:20,850 --> 00:22:23,850 next president. And it was going to be well, he's not allowed to 377 00:22:23,850 --> 00:22:27,180 tell God told them not to tell ya. Why this is 378 00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:30,720 a non transparent situation where we were running into 379 00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:34,260 but the things God did tell him and the questions he asked had 380 00:22:34,260 --> 00:22:38,370 me raising my eyebrows. Let's hear this little segment from 381 00:22:38,370 --> 00:22:40,590 Pat Robertson on this little satellite station, 382 00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:45,480 spent better part of a week in prayer and just saying, God, 383 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,400 show me something. And I'll, 384 00:22:47,460 --> 00:22:50,910 by the way, I'm not mocking God. But I am totally mocking pat 385 00:22:50,910 --> 00:22:51,870 robertson share 386 00:22:51,870 --> 00:22:52,320 with you. 387 00:22:53,550 --> 00:22:58,800 Some things I'll share with you. I think he showed me about the 388 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,590 next president, but I'm not supposed to talk about this. 389 00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:05,190 Because you know, God, yeah, he doesn't want he doesn't want to 390 00:23:05,190 --> 00:23:10,290 blow the ratings. God talked to CNN apparently, too. And CNN 391 00:23:10,290 --> 00:23:12,750 said, Don't please God, don't let Pat spill the beans because 392 00:23:12,750 --> 00:23:14,490 we got the ratings to think, Okay, 393 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:20,940 we'll leave you in the dark. Probably just as I think I know 394 00:23:20,970 --> 00:23:25,650 who is going to be all right. I'm gonna read just what I wrote 395 00:23:25,650 --> 00:23:29,400 down. As if I'm hearing from the Lord these words, your country 396 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:34,320 will be torn apart by internal stress. A house divided cannot 397 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,880 stand. Your president holds a radical view of the direction of 398 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,440 your country, which is at odds with the majority, expect chaos 399 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,890 and paralysis. Your president holds a view which is at the 400 00:23:46,890 --> 00:23:49,830 odds for the majority is a radical view of the future of 401 00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:53,760 the country, then so that's why we're having this division. This 402 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,570 is a spiritual battle, which can only be won by overwhelming 403 00:23:57,570 --> 00:24:01,470 prayer. The future of the world is at stake because of American 404 00:24:01,470 --> 00:24:05,460 Falls, there is no longer a strong champion of freedom, and 405 00:24:05,460 --> 00:24:09,150 a champion of the oppressed of the world. There must be an 406 00:24:09,180 --> 00:24:11,640 urgent call to prayer. 407 00:24:14,130 --> 00:24:17,550 This is a lot of people talk to God by the way, you know, they 408 00:24:17,550 --> 00:24:22,350 pray, but to have God reply so simple, very rare. Yeah, that's 409 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,930 good. Last time. It was like an 1100 410 00:24:25,650 --> 00:24:27,180 wedding. We'd like this tablets. 411 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,450 Somebody will get the job now. 412 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,830 But now yeah. But now listen to what Pat Robertson asked God, he 413 00:24:34,830 --> 00:24:38,850 asked more questions, which was his questions where, you know, 414 00:24:39,420 --> 00:24:41,700 if you have God talking to you, you got some questions to ask. 415 00:24:41,820 --> 00:24:44,280 Yeah, some question. I would like to know who's gonna win the 416 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,910 Super Bowl. I need some horses, you know, so I can maybe pick up 417 00:24:47,910 --> 00:24:51,120 some extra cash, stock tips stock. 418 00:24:51,780 --> 00:25:00,660 Okay. And then the Lord said, a time of maximum stress and peril 419 00:25:00,870 --> 00:25:04,530 greater than at any time since the CBN ministry began this 420 00:25:04,530 --> 00:25:06,150 country will begin disintegrating 421 00:25:06,300 --> 00:25:10,050 now this is this though now I'm like oh wow. So the Lord is 422 00:25:10,050 --> 00:25:11,130 predicting Doom 423 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,580 Yep. And he would know 424 00:25:14,610 --> 00:25:18,000 yeah So Pat Could you please ask us what kind of ask the Lord 425 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,320 what kind of doom this could be? 426 00:25:19,410 --> 00:25:24,540 I thought when we start this place I started CBN in I think 427 00:25:24,540 --> 00:25:30,150 1960 We had you think about all the things that went on you have 428 00:25:30,150 --> 00:25:32,640 the assassination of President assassination of Martin Luther 429 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,670 King you've got a war in Vietnam you've got all these things. He 430 00:25:35,670 --> 00:25:41,280 said this a worst stress than before. So I'm saying God let me 431 00:25:41,310 --> 00:25:44,940 give you some so some suggestions and you totally have 432 00:25:44,940 --> 00:25:45,060 no 433 00:25:46,290 --> 00:25:49,320 idea all right, so what would your first suggestion be if 434 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,150 you're if it's a guessing game with God? 435 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:59,340 I have no idea what this lunatic is even up to so I wouldn't even 436 00:25:59,340 --> 00:26:01,320 come up with something. Let me go on. 437 00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:05,400 Pick one. So I said is it an EMP blast? 438 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,530 Is it an EMP blast or 439 00:26:13,470 --> 00:26:18,870 is it a cosmic or solar radiation bias? No. Is it my and 440 00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:24,150 Galaxy alignment? No, it's not is it a radian or North Korea 441 00:26:24,150 --> 00:26:28,200 nuclear threat? No. Is it an earthquake or volcano? No. Is it 442 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,340 a massive power failure? No. What is it it's an economic 443 00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:36,210 collapse and God's equally issues not my job? 444 00:26:36,510 --> 00:26:39,030 Oh, that's who was good. That's the guy that called me the other 445 00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:42,210 day and I told him about the economic collapse Yeah, there 446 00:26:42,210 --> 00:26:47,610 you go. Well, you know Robertson is old enough to know that about 447 00:26:47,610 --> 00:26:53,220 the cycles and yeah, economic collapse so that's just you can 448 00:26:53,220 --> 00:26:56,460 find that in there. I can find people saying that all over the 449 00:26:56,460 --> 00:26:59,070 place. Where do you have to go to the man upstairs? Doesn't 450 00:26:59,070 --> 00:27:00,360 make sense. I think he 451 00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:02,160 wasted his time. Yeah. 452 00:27:02,790 --> 00:27:07,050 So let's do our show total time waster ah.

If you want to know 584 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:07,800 now really, because I've got a couple of things before we get 585 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,410 to that I think what I'd like to talk about all right, Rick 586 00:35:10,410 --> 00:35:13,200 Santorum uses Neuro Linguistic Programming in his 587 00:35:13,230 --> 00:35:16,410 chatter, would you like to explain briefly NLP to our 588 00:35:16,410 --> 00:35:19,710 audience to where you know another an idea you explain it? 589 00:35:19,740 --> 00:35:22,080 Well, Neuro Linguistic Programming is stuff that you do 590 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:29,910 with your words and with your and with your body language that 591 00:35:30,210 --> 00:35:33,960 essentially communicates a message to the recipient in a 592 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,050 way that will that you can actually get people to do crazy 593 00:35:37,050 --> 00:35:41,010 things. It's a well known science. I'll give an example of 594 00:35:41,010 --> 00:35:46,050 it vorak.org/n, a donating is loving, 595 00:35:46,259 --> 00:35:52,829 jingles are part of a part, Santorum. I got a bunch. I got 596 00:35:52,829 --> 00:35:55,709 two things where he's doing doublespeak. And I want you to 597 00:35:55,709 --> 00:35:57,869 listen to him to try to tell me exactly what he said, because 598 00:35:57,869 --> 00:36:02,189 you won't be able to, but in but earlier, he was on Meet the 599 00:36:02,189 --> 00:36:07,589 Press. And earlier I found I caught this very weird style of 600 00:36:07,979 --> 00:36:11,549 chatter that incorporates I've never seen this before. And I've 601 00:36:11,549 --> 00:36:15,389 tried to do it myself and I can't do it. You know, we're 602 00:36:15,389 --> 00:36:18,689 people you run into people that are always making assumptions 603 00:36:18,689 --> 00:36:21,239 about the way you think so though, so they'll say 604 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,599 something. Why? Because they do it. They didn't always they 605 00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:27,629 dropped the word. Why into the sentence? 606 00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:30,540 Yeah. Well, it's very much like in Silicon Valley people say, 607 00:36:30,570 --> 00:36:34,380 right, which is basically making you affirm what he just said. 608 00:36:34,529 --> 00:36:39,659 Exactly. Right. So they so or look, it's another one why 609 00:36:39,690 --> 00:36:40,320 look. 610 00:36:40,770 --> 00:36:46,500 Exactly why. Yeah. So they so they don't say it always makes 611 00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:49,170 the assumption. I always find it offensive when I hear the word 612 00:36:49,170 --> 00:36:53,040 why? Asked like that, because it's making an assumption that 613 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,070 I'm actually asking the question, then I'd want to know 614 00:36:56,070 --> 00:37:00,150 why. It was just telling me you don't have to ask me why works. 615 00:37:00,180 --> 00:37:03,720 Now. Now. centaurum, you have to listen very carefully to this 616 00:37:03,810 --> 00:37:09,090 Santorum neuro linguistic insertion. He puts why in the 617 00:37:09,090 --> 00:37:12,630 stream in such a way that it doesn't even it's not even a 618 00:37:12,630 --> 00:37:17,160 question. It's just the word why. And I challenge you without 619 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,920 writing something down to actually do what he what you're 620 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:24,360 about to hear. You'll hear the word why twice. And it's just in 621 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,510 the flow. And I found it extremely fascinating likes the 622 00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:28,020 Republican 623 00:37:28,020 --> 00:37:30,960 Party. The question is, are those values ones that you can 624 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,290 trust, when when they become president I'd states is that 625 00:37:34,290 --> 00:37:37,440 someone who you know is going to fight not just for certain 626 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,350 things, but for the entire Republican platform and plank. 627 00:37:40,350 --> 00:37:43,590 Why? Because those things integrate together. And you've 628 00:37:43,590 --> 00:37:46,020 heard me talking about this many times. You can't have a strong 629 00:37:46,020 --> 00:37:48,840 economy and just a strong economic plan. Unless you have 630 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,510 strong families and you have moral values in this country. 631 00:37:51,510 --> 00:37:53,580 Why? Because that's the underpinning of our society. 632 00:37:55,290 --> 00:37:56,580 As well, he's good at that. 633 00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:59,280 That's very good. It's 634 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:05,580 actually the phrases why because which is not set asking why and 635 00:38:05,580 --> 00:38:06,180 no, I liked 636 00:38:06,180 --> 00:38:08,730 it. I liked that better, because it doesn't give you time to 637 00:38:08,730 --> 00:38:10,800 think it's like well, Oh, yeah. Oh, but you're white. Yeah, 638 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,170 here's the answer. Okay. Yeah, thank thank you for giving me 639 00:38:13,170 --> 00:38:15,570 the answer. It's much quicker. I think that's a good way of doing 640 00:38:15,570 --> 00:38:15,750 it. 641 00:38:16,110 --> 00:38:19,260 It's amazing. And he does it constantly. Why? Because he does 642 00:38:19,290 --> 00:38:19,740 why 643 00:38:20,010 --> 00:38:22,590 we shouldn't do that too. Don't even know agenda is really a 644 00:38:22,590 --> 00:38:25,440 good idea. Why? Because it will give bring you the truth. 645 00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:30,090 Exactly. We should do that more often ourselves. Why? Because it 646 00:38:30,090 --> 00:38:34,260 really helps. I'm gonna do now I'm gonna I'm gonna practice 647 00:38:34,260 --> 00:38:36,570 this. Why? Because it really works. 648 00:38:37,830 --> 00:38:40,380 So eat. So I've noticing him doing this. I'm breaking that 649 00:38:40,380 --> 00:38:42,630 apart. So then I hear the doublespeak stuff. And I've got 650 00:38:42,630 --> 00:38:46,890 two examples. And the first one is like, it's good. But the 651 00:38:46,890 --> 00:38:50,370 second one, I challenge you to tell me what he said. But let's 652 00:38:50,370 --> 00:38:51,330 play number one, 653 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,760 didn't you when you were running for reelection, do the same 654 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,340 thing you've accused Romney of which is moderating your stance 655 00:38:56,340 --> 00:38:58,140 and tried to win a democratic state 656 00:38:58,170 --> 00:39:00,720 today, I would support laws that would provide for those 657 00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:03,660 exceptions, but I'm not for them. In other words, I support 658 00:39:03,660 --> 00:39:06,210 the Hyde Amendment. The Hyde Amendment provides exception for 659 00:39:06,210 --> 00:39:08,670 rape and incest in the life of the mother. And so yes, I 660 00:39:08,670 --> 00:39:11,940 support laws that provide those exceptions. Because if we can 661 00:39:11,940 --> 00:39:15,360 get those passed, then then we need to do that. But my God a 662 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,510 violation of your pledge. You tried it? I supported the 663 00:39:18,510 --> 00:39:21,900 partial birth abortion ban that does that ban all abortions? No, 664 00:39:22,020 --> 00:39:24,360 but it moves the country in the right direction. And so what 665 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,610 I've said in the past consistently is I'll support 666 00:39:26,610 --> 00:39:29,190 laws that move the ball forward. That doesn't mean that's my 667 00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:31,860 position. And that's where I'd like to go. But that's exactly 668 00:39:31,860 --> 00:39:33,390 the direction that we need to go. 669 00:39:35,190 --> 00:39:37,980 Yeah, I understand what I've been reading this. I haven't 670 00:39:37,980 --> 00:39:39,210 actually heard it. So thank you. 671 00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:43,140 Is that amazing? Yeah. And the reason why I support it, but I 672 00:39:43,140 --> 00:39:45,990 don't I don't support it, but I support it because I didn't have 673 00:39:45,990 --> 00:39:49,470 to support but I don't support I support don't say it's what this 674 00:39:49,470 --> 00:39:49,770 is how 675 00:39:49,770 --> 00:39:54,450 you protect accurate accusations of being a flip flopper why 676 00:39:54,450 --> 00:39:57,090 because he's a flip flopper. See how it is 677 00:39:57,300 --> 00:40:00,870 now now the second one I am asking you had to explain to me 678 00:40:00,870 --> 00:40:04,500 exactly what he says here because it's like, wow, this is 679 00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:05,340 a gym. 680 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,460 And in order to get the necessary votes to get that 681 00:40:08,460 --> 00:40:11,640 done, you have to make compromises. But we did a 682 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,790 direction of limited government, maybe less than what we wanted 683 00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:18,120 to. But we weren't going in the direction of more government and 684 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,880 getting less of more, that's where Republicans have been in 685 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,690 error for so many years. And that is compromising on just a 686 00:40:24,690 --> 00:40:27,570 little less big government. Instead of saying no, no more 687 00:40:27,570 --> 00:40:30,720 compromises and less big government will compromise on 688 00:40:30,870 --> 00:40:34,710 less less. Government. Not going the other way. 689 00:40:35,460 --> 00:40:36,810 Isn't less more. 690 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,200 But not going the other way. I'm telling you, this is a gem of a 691 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,920 quote is no compromise unless less but not going the other 692 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:47,310 way. 693 00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:55,530 Ladies and gentlemen, we do this so you don't have to. But you 694 00:40:55,530 --> 00:40:57,690 know, you sit around. And you know, you're when you're 695 00:40:57,690 --> 00:41:00,570 watching television, stuff spinning on the screen, and all 696 00:41:00,570 --> 00:41:03,900 kinds of stuff happen. You don't really parse this, and it's so 697 00:41:03,900 --> 00:41:06,990 great to hear just an audio, because then you're not 698 00:41:06,990 --> 00:41:11,820 distracted by his hair or any anything else that flourishes on 699 00:41:11,820 --> 00:41:14,400 the score on the screen is really the way to do it. It's 700 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:20,010 really good. And he nailed that one. You really did. Less, less, 701 00:41:20,010 --> 00:41:22,230 less, less. Why? Because it's more. 702 00:41:23,670 --> 00:41:25,590 So I'm going the other way. Now, 703 00:41:25,620 --> 00:41:29,760 less is less left. Less is more. Why? Because it's more. Now I 704 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,040 support things, but then I don't support them. Why? Because 705 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,470 supporting them is not the right position to not support why 706 00:41:34,470 --> 00:41:40,140 because it's that way. Vote for me. So anyway, yeah, there were 707 00:41:40,140 --> 00:41:45,030 a couple of bills that were passed. On the on the day of the 708 00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:49,350 caucuses, not couple. Actually, let me count 709 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,850 that they're at a session right now. 710 00:41:54,060 --> 00:41:56,250 I'm sorry. signed by the President. 711 00:41:57,150 --> 00:42:00,390 Yeah, well, he signs it was at all during the dead of night. 712 00:42:00,420 --> 00:42:04,230 Yes, it was actually I can. Let me tell you, you know, bring it 713 00:42:04,230 --> 00:42:06,900 up here. Cuz you guys subscribe to the RSS feed of the press 714 00:42:06,900 --> 00:42:09,690 office. Because it is not like this is on the news anywhere. 715 00:42:10,170 --> 00:42:15,180 And so the press office, this was Yeah, Tuesday January 3. So 716 00:42:15,180 --> 00:42:20,310 it was they do it on when all everyone is in Iowa. No one's 717 00:42:20,310 --> 00:42:28,710 paying attention. Let me count them. 1-234-567-8999 the 718 00:42:28,710 --> 00:42:34,230 President signed nine bills into law. Three of them caught my 719 00:42:34,230 --> 00:42:40,140 eye. And I thought they were rather interesting. Resolution 720 00:42:40,140 --> 00:42:44,100 House resolution 515, known as the act that may be cited as the 721 00:42:44,100 --> 00:42:49,050 Belarusian Democracy and Human Rights Act of 2011. always 722 00:42:49,050 --> 00:42:51,570 interested in something where we're protecting human rights. 723 00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:58,560 To highlights the United States resolve to continue to support 724 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,100 the growth of democratic movements and institutions in 725 00:43:02,100 --> 00:43:05,970 Belarus. We should empower the people of Belarus to end tyranny 726 00:43:05,970 --> 00:43:11,220 in their country. Resolve to continue to refuse to accept the 727 00:43:11,220 --> 00:43:14,670 results of the fundamentally flawed December 9 2010 728 00:43:14,670 --> 00:43:18,150 presidential election held in Belarus and to support calls for 729 00:43:18,150 --> 00:43:20,460 a new presidential and parliamentary elections 730 00:43:20,460 --> 00:43:23,520 conducted in a manner that is free and fair according to Osae 731 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,780 standards. Tom Okay, that's interesting. So the Bella Russa 732 00:43:27,780 --> 00:43:31,980 is definitely being targeted. And then section five is WE'RE 733 00:43:31,980 --> 00:43:36,120 HERE IT COMES radio, television and internet broadcasting to 734 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,650 Belarus quote it is the sense of Congress that the President 735 00:43:40,650 --> 00:43:44,670 should support radio television and internet broadcasting to the 736 00:43:44,670 --> 00:43:48,450 people of Belarus in languages spoken in Belarus by Free Radio 737 00:43:48,450 --> 00:43:51,930 Europe Radio Liberty the Voice of America European radio for 738 00:43:51,930 --> 00:43:55,320 Bella Ruse and Bell SAT. So there's your propaganda 739 00:43:57,030 --> 00:44:01,440 This is a reaction to what took place exactly in Belarus where 740 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,920 they said you can't go on the internet Exactly. Well no they 741 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,860 actually what they said you can't go outside on the 742 00:44:07,860 --> 00:44:11,610 internet. But you can only go to Belarus websites which is what 743 00:44:12,300 --> 00:44:15,780 what what great websites is Belarus have this is going to 744 00:44:15,780 --> 00:44:16,890 entertain the public. 745 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:23,160 What is their domain name.bs It should be so I thought that was 746 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:30,360 pretty interesting. Then we have very short one. House Resolution 747 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,010 105 Niner 748 00:44:32,490 --> 00:44:35,070 by the way, it was just a backup on that Bellerose thing again, 749 00:44:36,030 --> 00:44:41,730 if the fact that we're on top of this to such an extreme that the 750 00:44:41,730 --> 00:44:45,870 President be signing stuff means that the route that the Belarus 751 00:44:45,870 --> 00:44:49,050 original reaction of cutting off Internet access to the outside 752 00:44:49,050 --> 00:44:53,910 world had to be because we were pumping stuff in there by the 753 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,290 crapload obviously, you know, pumping in propaganda was some 754 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,680 gold, you know, something in mind And and they got wind of it 755 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,930 and then that's why they did this up we can't have any good 756 00:45:03,930 --> 00:45:06,000 no more get off get off get off the internet and off the 757 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,820 internet the reaction the return reaction 758 00:45:10,530 --> 00:45:11,520 is less less. 759 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,090 It's less less it came up just right away. I mean it must have 760 00:45:15,570 --> 00:45:19,350 so had to be on the top of somebody's list. I mean normally 761 00:45:19,350 --> 00:45:21,630 you just beat around the bush about something like this or all 762 00:45:21,630 --> 00:45:25,350 those crazy Bella rumours people who cares. But no, apparently we 763 00:45:25,350 --> 00:45:28,080 do care because we're doing something we were sneaking it 764 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,100 doing a sneak attack, 765 00:45:29,130 --> 00:45:32,190 I would say Bella Rousses important GOP politically 766 00:45:32,190 --> 00:45:35,310 speaking. Well, I'm gonna look it up. Once you once you take a 767 00:45:35,310 --> 00:45:40,920 look at that. And then I will read a very, very small bill but 768 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:46,500 not unimportant. House Resolution 1059. Extension of 769 00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:50,550 redaction authority concerning sensitive security information. 770 00:45:51,780 --> 00:45:54,630 There's some just some replacements here in in 771 00:45:54,630 --> 00:45:57,810 subparagraph C by inserting and the Senate Committee on Homeland 772 00:45:57,810 --> 00:46:00,240 Security and Governmental Affairs and the House Committee 773 00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:03,690 on Oversight and Government Reform after Senate in 774 00:46:03,690 --> 00:46:09,210 subparagraph II. In other words, redaction powers now expanded to 775 00:46:09,210 --> 00:46:12,630 documentation from the Department of Homeland Security, 776 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,420 the government Governmental Affairs and the House Committee 777 00:46:15,420 --> 00:46:21,360 on Oversight and Government Reform. So essentially shut up 778 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,960 slave, we're not going to show you anything. Send us your FOIA, 779 00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:29,370 we're going to send you my magic marker I just found to be quite 780 00:46:29,370 --> 00:46:33,390 insulting. But what was really crazy John, did you find Belarus 781 00:46:33,390 --> 00:46:34,980 by the way with the deal is with Belarus? 782 00:46:35,220 --> 00:46:38,070 Yeah. appears to be oil shale? Oh, 783 00:46:38,100 --> 00:46:46,050 no. Did you do Belarus oil was that your Google? Bellary was 784 00:46:46,050 --> 00:46:49,530 Google or Belarus scam. One of the two will show you something 785 00:46:49,530 --> 00:46:50,010 good. 786 00:46:50,190 --> 00:46:53,700 So then they apparently have I don't think it's just us that it 787 00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:56,850 has an issue here. The Russians were were in bed with via the 788 00:46:56,850 --> 00:47:03,210 deal between Exxon and Putin directly. It seems to be there's 789 00:47:03,210 --> 00:47:07,800 been a dispute going on between Russia and the Belarussians. And 790 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,950 I think they're probably doing their part to to get to steal 791 00:47:10,980 --> 00:47:12,090 steal the oil. 792 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,850 They want to it's who's who gets Belushi and oil. That's the 793 00:47:14,850 --> 00:47:15,600 whole deal. Right 794 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,350 failed to renew an agreement on crude oil, export tariffs fast 795 00:47:19,350 --> 00:47:21,720 it was a tariff. And 796 00:47:22,529 --> 00:47:26,069 may why else would we care? Why else will we be pointing our 797 00:47:26,069 --> 00:47:29,639 satellite transmissions and internet broadcasts to Belarus? 798 00:47:30,329 --> 00:47:32,939 Wales? Do we care for oil? There's no other reason? 799 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,260 Yeah, a bit which I'm billions of barrels. Big deal. 800 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,620 Yeah. Now the one that blew me away that this guy had no 801 00:47:40,620 --> 00:47:42,630 coverage, I would have thought this at least would have gotten 802 00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:44,220 some coverage House resolution. 803 00:47:44,549 --> 00:47:47,399 I wanted to interrupt you for a second. I want people when 804 00:47:47,399 --> 00:47:50,909 they're driving around, we know we're in a petroleum economy. 805 00:47:50,909 --> 00:47:53,249 But I don't know how much we realise unless we come to grips 806 00:47:53,249 --> 00:47:57,749 with it. Just drive around and look at everything you see if it 807 00:47:57,749 --> 00:48:02,399 wasn't for oil, transportation via the internal combustion 808 00:48:02,399 --> 00:48:05,999 engine, everything you see around you would not exist in 809 00:48:05,999 --> 00:48:11,399 plastic. Well, plastic but but to move to move wood. And to 810 00:48:11,399 --> 00:48:14,099 chop down wood, you need a motor, you chop it down and you 811 00:48:14,099 --> 00:48:16,169 put it on a truck, and then you move it to the place and you 812 00:48:16,169 --> 00:48:20,279 need a power tool. I mean, every single thing and all is a pipe 813 00:48:20,279 --> 00:48:24,869 dream about you know, renewable energy is a joke. But we need 814 00:48:24,869 --> 00:48:25,229 oil, 815 00:48:25,319 --> 00:48:30,059 you know, making yourself popular. Lots, lots of it. Give 816 00:48:30,059 --> 00:48:34,319 us more oil, that people just now anyway, that's a whole 817 00:48:34,319 --> 00:48:37,529 different other set of programming that I don't think 818 00:48:37,529 --> 00:48:41,009 we can combat ourselves now except through carbon, because 819 00:48:41,009 --> 00:48:42,959 you know, we're gonna die if we use more oil. 820 00:48:43,529 --> 00:48:44,549 I don't know about that. 821 00:48:46,170 --> 00:48:48,900 So, so the also the bill that blew me away that it got no 822 00:48:48,900 --> 00:48:52,620 mainstream coverage is House resolution 1892. Better known, 823 00:48:52,860 --> 00:48:55,620 most of the other ones that got no mainstream coverage. 824 00:48:56,940 --> 00:49:00,120 This is why this is what I do for kicks. I could be a Have you 825 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,520 seen Mickey? He's hot, right? 826 00:49:03,540 --> 00:49:04,860 Yeah, you could have other things, 827 00:49:05,279 --> 00:49:09,389 doing other things with my life. This Act may be cited as the 828 00:49:09,389 --> 00:49:12,359 intelligence authoring Authorization Act for Fiscal 829 00:49:12,359 --> 00:49:17,669 Year 2012. Oh, yeah, I'm like, Well, this is interesting. This 830 00:49:17,669 --> 00:49:20,699 is who is this for? Well, it turns out funds are hereby 831 00:49:20,699 --> 00:49:24,779 authorised to be appropriated for the following. United States 832 00:49:24,779 --> 00:49:27,869 Government Departments Office of the Director of National 833 00:49:27,869 --> 00:49:29,939 Intelligence the Central Intelligence Agency, the 834 00:49:29,939 --> 00:49:32,519 Department of Defence, the Defence Intelligence Agency, 835 00:49:32,519 --> 00:49:34,949 National Security Agency, Department of the Army, the 836 00:49:34,949 --> 00:49:37,139 Department of the Navy in the Department of the Air Force, the 837 00:49:37,139 --> 00:49:39,749 Coast Guard, Department of State Department of the Treasury, 838 00:49:39,749 --> 00:49:41,939 Department of Energy Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of 839 00:49:41,939 --> 00:49:44,399 Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the 840 00:49:44,399 --> 00:49:47,069 National Reconnaissance Office, the National Geospatial 841 00:49:47,069 --> 00:49:49,889 Intelligence Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. 842 00:49:50,519 --> 00:49:55,709 This is not a small deal, I would say. So a couple things 843 00:49:55,709 --> 00:49:57,479 have highlighted Of course, we always have these in the show 844 00:49:57,479 --> 00:50:00,449 notes. You can find it in under clips and stuff. in the show 845 00:50:00,449 --> 00:50:03,839 notes at 371 dot n a show notes.com. The first thing right 846 00:50:03,839 --> 00:50:06,119 off the bat it says the president cannot disclose 847 00:50:06,119 --> 00:50:09,929 anything. The President shall not publicly disclose the 848 00:50:09,929 --> 00:50:13,109 classified schedule of authorizations or any portions 849 00:50:13,109 --> 00:50:16,019 of such schedule, which of course means it's a portion we 850 00:50:16,019 --> 00:50:18,689 don't have it's the classified portion which we're not allowed 851 00:50:18,689 --> 00:50:22,559 to see. So that's just a why? Because it's classified Shut up 852 00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:26,699 slave. There's an authorised Okay, so here's the money 853 00:50:26,699 --> 00:50:30,599 portion, just the Director of National Intelligence. Do you 854 00:50:30,599 --> 00:50:33,209 heard all those departments I mentioned, right? Just the 855 00:50:33,209 --> 00:50:35,849 Director of National Intelligence by himself gets 856 00:50:35,849 --> 00:50:38,789 $576 million. 857 00:50:39,510 --> 00:50:43,530 Why? Today do it's one guy 858 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,450 well, the elements within the intelligence community 859 00:50:45,450 --> 00:50:47,280 management for the Director of National Intelligence, it's 860 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:52,020 authorised 777 full time or full time equivalent personnel 861 00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:56,250 to do what it spy spy on you. They're not spies. They're 862 00:50:56,250 --> 00:50:59,190 supposed to be coordinating the other spy agencies Oh, there's 863 00:50:59,190 --> 00:51:02,040 a lot of spies to coordinate apparently, the Central 864 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,790 Intelligence Retirement Agency retirement and disability fund, 865 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,730 oh, half a billion dollars. 866 00:51:09,149 --> 00:51:12,539 That's, that's surprisingly low, I guess what the maybe just 867 00:51:12,539 --> 00:51:17,699 bumped. These guys don't retire. You know, it's just sorry, no at 868 00:51:17,699 --> 00:51:19,469 the end of that, or they stay on the dole, no 869 00:51:19,470 --> 00:51:25,140 pension for you. Now, here's something that I found very 870 00:51:25,140 --> 00:51:29,040 interesting, which I'm glad is in here, section 302. The 871 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:33,870 authorization of appropriations by this act shall not be deemed 872 00:51:34,110 --> 00:51:38,430 to constitute authority for the conduct of any intelligence 873 00:51:38,430 --> 00:51:43,200 activity, which is not otherwise Authorised by the Constitution, 874 00:51:43,710 --> 00:51:48,180 or the laws of the United States. They would say these 875 00:51:48,180 --> 00:51:51,330 guys are doing nothing but doing stuff that is not allowed by the 876 00:51:51,330 --> 00:51:53,430 Constitution or the laws. They do not read that again, 877 00:51:53,430 --> 00:51:56,340 because did you read it? Verbatim? Of course. 878 00:51:57,390 --> 00:52:00,270 I think the trick is the laws of the United States. The 879 00:52:00,270 --> 00:52:03,720 authorization of appropriations by this act shall not be deemed 880 00:52:03,750 --> 00:52:07,230 to constitute authority for the conduct of any intelligence 881 00:52:07,230 --> 00:52:11,490 activity, which is not otherwise Authorised by the Constitution 882 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:16,320 or the laws of the United States. So I think their 883 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,780 interpretation is what are the laws of the United States? Is 884 00:52:18,780 --> 00:52:20,730 that the Constitution or is that just I don't even think 885 00:52:20,730 --> 00:52:28,500 that's what it says. I think it says that we're giving you money 886 00:52:29,730 --> 00:52:35,010 to do with, as you see fit as you see fit, but it doesn't mean 887 00:52:35,010 --> 00:52:39,330 it's okay. So in other words, I'm giving Sam you're an 888 00:52:39,330 --> 00:52:43,620 assassin I give you I want you to assassinate XYZ, there's 889 00:52:43,950 --> 00:52:48,960 $10,000. Here's $10,000. For your expenses. You know what to 890 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,380 do? I mean, I'm not authorising you to kill anybody. 891 00:52:53,009 --> 00:52:56,939 Oh, you're just authorised to give me the money? Yeah. Okay. 892 00:52:56,939 --> 00:52:57,689 Yeah, I'll tell I think is 893 00:52:57,690 --> 00:53:03,270 a little doublespeak in there. Do you think? I think Rick 894 00:53:03,270 --> 00:53:05,010 Santorum is writing this stuff. 895 00:53:05,220 --> 00:53:09,390 There's a new position, Chief Information Officer of the 896 00:53:09,390 --> 00:53:12,870 intelligence community that has been created. That's a new. 897 00:53:14,460 --> 00:53:15,630 See, I Oh, 898 00:53:15,690 --> 00:53:19,380 yes, the CIO of the CIA. I'm the CIO of the CIA. How you doing? 899 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:26,190 denies now here's the one that blew me away. Section 414 900 00:53:26,730 --> 00:53:31,560 Creating an official record of the Osama bin Laden operation. 901 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:37,500 Now we know that he who wins gets to write history. This is 902 00:53:37,500 --> 00:53:37,920 it. 903 00:53:38,430 --> 00:53:41,400 Here is they're gonna hire somebody to phoney up a story 904 00:53:41,430 --> 00:53:44,430 actually wrote it. It's right here. This is their Yeah, this 905 00:53:44,430 --> 00:53:48,960 is the official story. And so this is now on record as the 906 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,380 official story of the Osama bin Laden operation. I think we 907 00:53:52,380 --> 00:53:57,840 should read through it. I'm listening. On May 1 2011. United 908 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,080 States personnel killed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden 909 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,870 during the course of a targeted strike against his secret 910 00:54:03,870 --> 00:54:08,220 compound in Abbottabad. Pakistan. It reads so well, his 911 00:54:08,220 --> 00:54:08,640 secret 912 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:09,960 does this is pretty good. 913 00:54:12,630 --> 00:54:15,690 Osama bin Laden was the leader of the al Qaeda terrorist 914 00:54:15,690 --> 00:54:18,330 organisation the most significant terrorist threat to 915 00:54:18,330 --> 00:54:21,930 the United States and the international community. Now 916 00:54:21,930 --> 00:54:24,180 here's here's what I think they messed it up and this will come 917 00:54:24,180 --> 00:54:26,190 back to bite him in the butt because this is the official 918 00:54:26,190 --> 00:54:30,750 record. Osama bin Laden was the architect of terrorist attacks, 919 00:54:30,750 --> 00:54:34,530 which killed nearly 3000 civilians on September 11 2001, 920 00:54:34,530 --> 00:54:37,260 the most deadly terrorist attack against our nation in wish al 921 00:54:37,260 --> 00:54:40,590 Qaeda terrorists hijacked four aeroplanes and crashed them into 922 00:54:40,590 --> 00:54:43,080 the World Trade Centre in New York City, the Pentagon and 923 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,950 Washington DC and due to heroic efforts by civilian passengers 924 00:54:46,950 --> 00:54:50,880 to disrupt the terrorist near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, so no 925 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:55,740 longer can they call any other guy the architect of 911 because 926 00:54:55,740 --> 00:55:00,120 this is it. This is he was the architect so you can't say was 927 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,060 another guy, that old Sheikh Mohammed Shakalaka guy, 928 00:55:03,060 --> 00:55:05,550 whatever. So they can't call him the architect because that's 929 00:55:05,580 --> 00:55:11,640 factually incorrect. Then they have a whole thing about this is 930 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,420 even crazier. Osama bin Laden planned or supported numerous. 931 00:55:18,030 --> 00:55:22,530 What has it created? What was the jobs thing? 932 00:55:22,590 --> 00:55:23,850 Oh yeah, saved or 933 00:55:24,210 --> 00:55:28,050 created, planned or supported numerous other deadly terrorist 934 00:55:28,050 --> 00:55:30,600 attacks against the United States and its allies, including 935 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,510 the 1998 bombings of the United States embassies in Kenya and 936 00:55:33,510 --> 00:55:37,470 Tanzania, the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, and against 937 00:55:37,470 --> 00:55:40,050 innocent civilians and countries around the world, including the 938 00:55:40,050 --> 00:55:43,980 2004 attack on commuter trains in Madrid, Spain, and 2000 939 00:55:43,980 --> 00:55:46,440 bombings of the mass transit system in London, England. 940 00:55:46,620 --> 00:55:51,330 That's bullcrap. We know that the Madrid Spain was not an 941 00:55:51,330 --> 00:55:54,210 Osama bin Laden operation. I think that's been admitted. 942 00:55:56,610 --> 00:55:58,980 Yeah, I think it was not was not 943 00:55:59,010 --> 00:56:02,370 no, well, no longer it's now the official record. And now of 944 00:56:02,370 --> 00:56:06,120 course, I gotta give some props to George W. following September 945 00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,850 11 2001 terrorist attacks, the United States under President 946 00:56:08,850 --> 00:56:11,670 George W. Bush led an international coalition into 947 00:56:11,670 --> 00:56:15,510 Afghanistan to dismantle al Qaeda, deny them a safe haven in 948 00:56:15,510 --> 00:56:19,410 Afghanistan, and ungoverned areas along the Pakistani border 949 00:56:19,410 --> 00:56:23,760 and bring Osama bin Laden to justice. Okay, so we should get 950 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,580 out now that the guy's dead. I guess that's what we were 951 00:56:26,580 --> 00:56:29,160 thinking. Yeah. Well, I guess not. President Barack Obama in 952 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:33,600 2009 committed additional forces and resources to efforts in 953 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:37,620 Afghanistan and Pakistan as the quote central front in our 954 00:56:37,620 --> 00:56:43,350 enduring struggle against terrorism and extremism. The 955 00:56:43,350 --> 00:56:45,180 valley and members of the United States Armed Forces have 956 00:56:45,180 --> 00:56:47,730 courageously and vigorously pursued al Qaeda and its 957 00:56:47,730 --> 00:56:50,100 affiliates in Afghanistan and around the world. This is all 958 00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:53,400 official record. The anonymous unsung heroes of the 959 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,620 intelligence community have pursued al Qaeda and its 960 00:56:55,620 --> 00:56:57,810 affiliates in Afghanistan, Pakistan around the world with 961 00:56:57,810 --> 00:57:00,900 tremendous dedication, sacrifice and professionalism. What is 962 00:57:00,900 --> 00:57:02,190 this a jerk off session? 963 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,330 This is what it sounds like unsung heroes. 964 00:57:07,980 --> 00:57:10,650 close collaboration between the armed forces in the intelligence 965 00:57:10,650 --> 00:57:13,830 community prompted the Director of National Intelligence General 966 00:57:13,830 --> 00:57:17,820 James Clapper to state quote, never have I seen a more 967 00:57:17,820 --> 00:57:20,640 remarkable example of focused integration, seamless 968 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,300 collaboration and sheer professionalism, magnificence as 969 00:57:24,300 --> 00:57:27,600 was distributed demonstrated by the intelligence community in 970 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:32,010 the ultimate demise of Osama bin Laden. This is really like, like 971 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,430 coming to hear the magnificent as a word magnificence 972 00:57:35,430 --> 00:57:39,450 professional magnificence. That's a good one, right? sheer, 973 00:57:40,260 --> 00:57:45,330 sheer professional magnificence. Wow, that goes above and beyond 974 00:57:45,330 --> 00:57:48,690 I'd say I'd say sheer. I would love to have that on my 975 00:57:48,690 --> 00:57:52,620 tombstone. He was a shining example of sheer professional 976 00:57:52,620 --> 00:57:59,790 magnificence. Wow. Thanks. Thanks, buddy. While the death 977 00:57:59,790 --> 00:58:03,060 of Osama bin Laden represents a significant blow to the al Qaeda 978 00:58:03,090 --> 00:58:06,300 organisation and its affiliates, and to terrorist organised 979 00:58:06,330 --> 00:58:09,750 organisations around the world, terrorism remains a critical 980 00:58:09,750 --> 00:58:12,360 threat to the United States national security. Thank you for 981 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,140 clarifying that. President Obama said for over two decades, bin 982 00:58:16,140 --> 00:58:19,500 Laden has been al Qaeda as leader and symbol, and has 983 00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:22,740 continued to plot attacks of cancer for over two decades. 984 00:58:22,740 --> 00:58:26,970 Wait a minute. What wasn't he like hanging out with everybody? 985 00:58:27,780 --> 00:58:29,850 In the past 20 years, with 986 00:58:30,450 --> 00:58:34,860 his bad ego, he goes back to 93 with the first attack on the 987 00:58:34,860 --> 00:58:35,820 World Trade Centre. 988 00:58:35,910 --> 00:58:37,710 What did they say it was him then? 989 00:58:38,130 --> 00:58:43,230 Yeah, well, no, they say it now. Yeah. And then, of course, it 990 00:58:43,230 --> 00:58:46,800 was also that the Yemen guy that we killed, right, something he 991 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,350 had something to do that to everybody does, and I think 992 00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:53,220 there was some embassy bombings I think predated that. So I 993 00:58:53,220 --> 00:58:54,300 think it is two decades. 994 00:58:55,290 --> 00:58:59,010 So I'll skip ahead to the end part here for years to come. for 995 00:58:59,010 --> 00:59:03,630 years to come, John, this like, I love this history. Americans 996 00:59:03,630 --> 00:59:07,980 will look back at this event, I got to do it better. for years 997 00:59:07,980 --> 00:59:11,940 to come. Americans will look back at this event. And as as a 998 00:59:11,940 --> 00:59:15,900 defining point in the history of the United States. It is vitally 999 00:59:15,900 --> 00:59:19,650 important that the United States memorialise all the events that 1000 00:59:19,650 --> 00:59:23,250 led to the raid, so that future generations will have an 1001 00:59:23,250 --> 00:59:27,060 official record of the events that transpired before, during 1002 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:32,850 and as a result of the operation and preserve. Preserving this 1003 00:59:32,850 --> 00:59:36,090 history now will allow the United States to have an 1004 00:59:36,090 --> 00:59:39,570 accurate account of the events while those that participated in 1005 00:59:39,570 --> 00:59:44,820 the events are still serving in the government. Isn't that 1006 00:59:44,820 --> 00:59:45,630 beautiful? 1007 00:59:46,140 --> 00:59:48,450 Yeah, I like the way you're ready. You almost got to a good 1008 00:59:48,450 --> 00:59:53,730 voice. I think they're gonna put up a memorial of some sort that 1009 00:59:53,730 --> 00:59:57,810 people can visit. And if somebody actually maybe took a 1010 00:59:57,810 --> 01:00:00,570 look at it probably is just they just need a new place for a dead 1011 01:00:00,570 --> 01:00:00,990 drop. 1012 01:00:03,899 --> 01:00:06,899 So there is a report not later than 90 days after the 1013 01:00:06,899 --> 01:00:11,219 completion of the report being prepared by the Centre for the 1014 01:00:11,219 --> 01:00:15,029 Study of intelligence that documents the history of and the 1015 01:00:15,029 --> 01:00:17,939 lessons learned from the raid that resulted in the death of 1016 01:00:17,939 --> 01:00:21,359 Osama bin Laden, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency 1017 01:00:21,359 --> 01:00:25,619 cells submit such report to congressional intelligence 1018 01:00:25,709 --> 01:00:29,489 committees, which as we know, of course, can redact everything 1019 01:00:29,489 --> 01:00:32,849 because that was in the other act. So we'll never know what 1020 01:00:32,849 --> 01:00:36,089 the official record is when the report comes out. But thanks 1021 01:00:36,089 --> 01:00:40,919 anyway, guys, I highly appreciate it. I just found it 1022 01:00:41,069 --> 01:00:45,899 very interesting that they would codify the official history. And 1023 01:00:45,929 --> 01:00:47,819 by the way, will the report have any pictures 1024 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:50,250 made? I think not. 1025 01:00:50,970 --> 01:00:54,060 And then, finally, not later than 90 days after the date of 1026 01:00:54,060 --> 01:00:56,850 the enactment of this act, the Secretary of Homeland Security 1027 01:00:56,850 --> 01:00:59,100 shall submit to the Congressional Intelligence 1028 01:00:59,100 --> 01:01:01,170 Committees the Committee on Homeland Security of the House 1029 01:01:01,170 --> 01:01:03,180 of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security 1030 01:01:03,180 --> 01:01:06,060 and Governmental blah, blah, blah to everybody, on whether 1031 01:01:06,060 --> 01:01:09,600 restrictions on the use of airspace are hampering the use 1032 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,840 of unmanned aerial vehicles by the Department of Homeland 1033 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,960 Security along the international border between the United States 1034 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:23,100 and Mexico. And it is the sense of Congress that the nation's 1035 01:01:23,100 --> 01:01:27,690 railway transportation including subway transit network is broad 1036 01:01:27,690 --> 01:01:30,750 and technically complex, requiring robust communication 1037 01:01:30,750 --> 01:01:32,700 between private sector stakeholders and the 1038 01:01:32,700 --> 01:01:36,150 intelligence community to identify, monitor and respond to 1039 01:01:36,150 --> 01:01:38,970 threats. The Department of Homeland Security Office of 1040 01:01:38,970 --> 01:01:43,260 intelligence analysis maintains a constructive relationship with 1041 01:01:43,260 --> 01:01:45,450 the federal agencies and private entities to safeguard our 1042 01:01:45,450 --> 01:01:47,310 railways and railway transportation security, 1043 01:01:47,310 --> 01:01:49,470 including subway transit security should continue to be 1044 01:01:49,470 --> 01:01:52,110 prioritised and the critical infrastructure Threat Assessment 1045 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,920 developed by the Office of intelligence and IE, TSA at the 1046 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:56,550 subway. 1047 01:01:57,450 --> 01:02:00,720 Well, there was already a report that the Department of Homeland 1048 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:06,210 Security is going to begin putting their officers at subway 1049 01:02:06,210 --> 01:02:07,860 stations so here it is the 1050 01:02:07,890 --> 01:02:11,280 bus. Yeah, he's not there. Well, they don't say bus specifically 1051 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:11,520 bus. 1052 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,890 There'll be buses. It'll be by zip. Which brings us back to 1053 01:02:13,890 --> 01:02:17,430 Obama's assertion about not having to take your shoes off at 1054 01:02:17,430 --> 01:02:19,320 the railroad station. 1055 01:02:19,470 --> 01:02:23,430 I have that. Here we go. Let's just listen to that. 1056 01:02:24,210 --> 01:02:28,440 Imagine boarding a train in the centre of a city. No racing to 1057 01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:32,040 an airport. And across the terminal. No delays. No sitting 1058 01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,430 on the tarmac. No lost luggage. No taking off your shoes. 1059 01:02:35,460 --> 01:02:40,230 mudo. David obviously. Right. Well, crap, 1060 01:02:40,650 --> 01:02:43,530 bull crap. Bullshit. 1061 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,480 They didn't go we read the bill. So you don't have to believe me? 1062 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:49,410 No one else is. 1063 01:02:50,580 --> 01:02:54,060 Yep. No one else is. Nobody cares. 1064 01:02:54,090 --> 01:02:57,330 Nobody cares. But there's your official record of the binlog. 1065 01:02:57,330 --> 01:02:57,870 If anybody 1066 01:02:57,870 --> 01:03:01,350 really cared they would be every the whole country be up in arms 1067 01:03:01,350 --> 01:03:05,850 about that defence act that Obama signed on Saturday, the 1068 01:03:05,850 --> 01:03:08,640 last, you know, just before New Year's when nobody was looking. 1069 01:03:08,670 --> 01:03:09,270 There was another 1070 01:03:09,270 --> 01:03:10,890 bill.

No, no, no 1101 01:05:07,500 --> 01:05:10,650 this arresting anyone by the military throwing a bag over 1102 01:05:10,650 --> 01:05:13,230 your head and throwing you into a van. It doesn't count if 1103 01:05:13,230 --> 01:05:18,120 you're an American citizen unless the enemy expatriation 1104 01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:21,030 Act goes into effect, which it has not yet but we need to start 1105 01:05:21,030 --> 01:05:21,930 screaming about it. 1106 01:05:22,020 --> 01:05:25,140 Oh, yeah, it'll be That's a done deal. Engaging in our 1107 01:05:25,410 --> 01:05:28,770 engaging in or supporting hostilities against the United 1108 01:05:28,770 --> 01:05:33,210 States will result in a United States National losing their 1109 01:05:33,210 --> 01:05:37,740 nationality. At which point we could throw a bag over your head 1110 01:05:37,740 --> 01:05:39,060 and then throw you into the man 1111 01:05:42,390 --> 01:05:46,830 it's a one two punch. Exactly that technicality Yeah, it's 1112 01:05:46,830 --> 01:05:49,260 just a little technicality. Well, this reminds me of this 1113 01:05:49,290 --> 01:05:52,410 just kind of brings to mind this this story coming out of Texas, 1114 01:05:52,410 --> 01:05:56,310 your neck of the woods, some poor girl, you know, right, you 1115 01:05:56,310 --> 01:05:59,400 know, left at home and running away. And then before she was 1116 01:05:59,430 --> 01:06:04,110 decided to go back when she was 15, the ice people picked her up 1117 01:06:04,740 --> 01:06:07,800 and threw her out and threw out of the country. They threw her 1118 01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:11,340 into Colombia because she gave a fake name which match some old 1119 01:06:11,340 --> 01:06:15,900 woman is a 15 year old match some old you know, I guess some 1120 01:06:15,900 --> 01:06:20,370 criminal that was left Colombia to just using a fake ID and she 1121 01:06:20,370 --> 01:06:23,610 couldn't get up. She couldn't communicate anything else 1122 01:06:23,610 --> 01:06:27,060 because she couldn't speak Spanish the girl. And so they 1123 01:06:27,060 --> 01:06:29,580 said, Okay, you're out of here. And they threw and they deported 1124 01:06:29,580 --> 01:06:33,960 her. She's just an American citizen. Some kid at the bus 1125 01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:34,530 terminal. I 1126 01:06:34,530 --> 01:06:37,440 mean, unbelievable. Unbelievable. Really. She's 1127 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,440 still in Colombia that Colombian say I don't know. We'll keep 1128 01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:44,490 her. She's a good she's good at housekeeping. She's been working 1129 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:45,570 as a maid. I guess. 1130 01:06:46,980 --> 01:06:50,400 We next you really horrible. 1131 01:06:50,490 --> 01:06:51,570 You're screwed. 1132 01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:56,310 Yes, you're screwed courtesy of the no agenda show. Actually, we 1133 01:06:56,310 --> 01:07:01,590 should hit this for a second. And now back to real. We haven't 1134 01:07:01,590 --> 01:07:06,990 done a real news in a while. I got two pieces of Real News. One 1135 01:07:06,990 --> 01:07:09,870 is I just want to play this because that's my two favourite 1136 01:07:09,870 --> 01:07:14,580 people in the world. Kim Kardashian and AJ hammer. If 1137 01:07:14,580 --> 01:07:16,350 you're gonna come up with the name of show business name, 1138 01:07:16,380 --> 01:07:22,620 that's the name AJ hammer everybody AJ did I recommend her 1139 01:07:22,650 --> 01:07:26,040 Yeah, listen to this. So California is broke? As you know 1140 01:07:26,460 --> 01:07:28,080 and they want to raise taxes 1141 01:07:29,430 --> 01:07:32,010 right even though there's no jobs highest unemployment in the 1142 01:07:32,010 --> 01:07:35,610 country. Yeah, but who do we tax people more what a tax the rich 1143 01:07:35,610 --> 01:07:36,840 that's the way I say Right. 1144 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,850 Exactly. Tax the Rich who's rich? 1145 01:07:41,130 --> 01:07:43,170 Apparently everybody but the real rich. 1146 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:47,250 Yeah. How about Kim Kardashian? Yeah, attack. She's rich. Last 1147 01:07:47,250 --> 01:07:47,400 but 1148 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,460 not least Kim Kardashians name being put out there by a 1149 01:07:50,460 --> 01:07:52,020 campaign to raise taxes? 1150 01:07:52,170 --> 01:07:52,890 What's going on with that 1151 01:07:52,890 --> 01:07:56,790 story? Okay, if you do want to make headlines these days, all 1152 01:07:56,790 --> 01:07:58,980 you have to do is mentioned the Kardashians and we'll talk about 1153 01:07:58,980 --> 01:08:01,590 it. That's what really happened here. The people behind an 1154 01:08:01,590 --> 01:08:04,350 initiative to raise California's income tax for millionaires 1155 01:08:04,350 --> 01:08:07,320 realise, hey, you know what, we might get some attention. If we 1156 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,230 use Kim Kardashian 's name and guess what? It worked. I 1157 01:08:10,230 --> 01:08:12,900 actually with one of the guys behind the initiative last night 1158 01:08:12,900 --> 01:08:16,500 on showbiz. Tonight, his basic point is that Kim Kardashian 1159 01:08:16,620 --> 01:08:20,280 only pays listen to this one percentage point more than 1160 01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:25,500 someone who earns around $47,000 a year. This is reportedly and 1161 01:08:25,500 --> 01:08:28,320 considering the budget issues in California. He thinks, you know, 1162 01:08:28,440 --> 01:08:31,050 somebody like Kardashian, who reportedly earned 12 million 1163 01:08:31,050 --> 01:08:34,740 bucks last year can afford to pay a little more. But again, I 1164 01:08:34,740 --> 01:08:37,920 think the big story here is you bring Kim Kardashian name into 1165 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,710 the mix, and you get attention for whatever it is that you're 1166 01:08:40,740 --> 01:08:41,370 trying to peddle. 1167 01:08:41,430 --> 01:08:44,940 There you go. That's how it works. Ben Cardin, we need to be 1168 01:08:44,940 --> 01:08:47,550 associating with how about we associate ourselves with Kim 1169 01:08:47,550 --> 01:08:50,940 Kardashian? We can we can get press? 1170 01:08:52,109 --> 01:08:55,529 How about I have a say and no one's ever attempted that. 1171 01:08:56,219 --> 01:08:58,529 Well, everyone does it. We should jump on the bandwagon. 1172 01:08:58,529 --> 01:08:59,369 That's my point. 1173 01:08:59,609 --> 01:09:01,829 Yeah, can we say be you? Yeah, well, I'll tell you this 1174 01:09:01,829 --> 01:09:03,389 experiment I have. 1175 01:09:03,420 --> 01:09:08,340 Okay, I'm gonna Lois. Lois. Listen up. I have a sex tape of 1176 01:09:08,340 --> 01:09:13,500 John C. Dvorak and Kim Kardashian. Our first lady 1177 01:09:13,500 --> 01:09:19,170 Michelle Obama is going to make a guest appearance on the 1178 01:09:19,170 --> 01:09:25,830 popular Nickelodeon show iCarly and these douchebags have 1179 01:09:25,830 --> 01:09:33,120 released a clip of her and this is a talk about your neuro 1180 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,610 linguistic programming. How about just tell the kids how to 1181 01:09:35,610 --> 01:09:37,890 address the for how would you address the First Lady if you 1182 01:09:37,890 --> 01:09:39,510 saw the first lady in person? 1183 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,210 I would say Hello, Mrs. President. 1184 01:09:46,590 --> 01:09:52,980 Okay, and she prefers a different title actually. Wait 1185 01:09:54,330 --> 01:09:54,900 Is she 1186 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:04,410 way down here Your Excellency. 1187 01:10:05,850 --> 01:10:08,820 You don't call her your Excellency. No, no, 1188 01:10:08,820 --> 01:10:14,340 I kind of like it what an elite 1189 01:10:16,260 --> 01:10:17,250 Your Excellency. 1190 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:23,100 Kinda like it is cute. It's supposed to be funny, but it's 1191 01:10:23,100 --> 01:10:25,470 not it's rude. 1192 01:10:25,890 --> 01:10:32,220 You're screwed courtesy of the no agenda Show All right, well 1193 01:10:32,220 --> 01:10:34,620 what else what else you got? I got lots of stuff I'm waiting 1194 01:10:34,620 --> 01:10:36,930 for you to come in and blow me away boy. 1195 01:10:37,530 --> 01:10:39,900 I'm not gonna blow you away by doing some stuff on some some 1196 01:10:39,900 --> 01:10:42,270 things in China cropped up and I thought this was kind of 1197 01:10:42,270 --> 01:10:46,680 interesting. I'm listening to the news hour and they're 1198 01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:50,370 talking about him out Khomeini the in the Iranians and the bull 1199 01:10:50,370 --> 01:10:54,030 crap about the Strait of Hormuz and and then it just piqued my 1200 01:10:54,030 --> 01:10:58,380 interest because a strange little mention comes in at the 1201 01:10:58,380 --> 01:11:01,470 end of this play that thoughts on on the Khomeini 1202 01:11:02,820 --> 01:11:08,040 will calculate that. Whether he will seek deliverance in a 1203 01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:12,240 nuclear compromise in order to bring about some some relief to 1204 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:15,600 himself, or whether he will seek deliverance with a nuclear 1205 01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:19,530 weapon itself, thinking that that will bring him a shield 1206 01:11:19,530 --> 01:11:23,760 from outside pressure. I think recent history doesn't bode very 1207 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:27,030 well, because the example the lesson which commonly learned 1208 01:11:27,450 --> 01:11:31,710 from the example in Libya, but that is example in Libya, was 1209 01:11:31,710 --> 01:11:36,300 that when Gadhafi abdicated his nuclear programme that made him 1210 01:11:36,300 --> 01:11:39,780 vulnerable to outside intervention. Okay, 1211 01:11:39,809 --> 01:11:42,929 so the clip I was looking for. That's the that's the one clip 1212 01:11:42,929 --> 01:11:45,059 that I didn't want to comment on, which is I was thinking I 1213 01:11:45,059 --> 01:11:48,809 was listening to this guy who's was a funny commentator, and 1214 01:11:48,809 --> 01:11:52,409 kept having jokes within his commentary. He mentioned that he 1215 01:11:52,409 --> 01:11:55,379 said, he says this. Well, you know, they once Qaddafi dropped 1216 01:11:55,379 --> 01:11:58,439 the, his development of, because a lot of people would just 1217 01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:03,899 believe that Iran, they began development on a nuke during the 1218 01:12:03,899 --> 01:12:08,009 Iran Iraq War. And then once that war ended, they continued 1219 01:12:08,009 --> 01:12:10,889 for a while, and then once we invaded Iraq, invaded Iraq and 1220 01:12:10,889 --> 01:12:13,679 took everybody out, then they stopped. And they haven't done 1221 01:12:13,679 --> 01:12:16,259 anything since because there's no real reason to or we got the 1222 01:12:16,259 --> 01:12:20,669 oil, and we got the oil. And it's too late for that. And then 1223 01:12:21,989 --> 01:12:24,779 because they stopped development, we are in the 1224 01:12:24,779 --> 01:12:27,899 process. My thought was this, by the way, I don't I don't know 1225 01:12:27,899 --> 01:12:32,729 this for a fact. But my thought was, are we goading them into 1226 01:12:32,729 --> 01:12:35,699 developing a nuke bio, say, Okay, here's what happened to 1227 01:12:35,699 --> 01:12:39,299 the last guy who didn't continue on the programme. You know, we 1228 01:12:39,299 --> 01:12:41,549 took him out. And then you know, it looks like, you know, we're a 1229 01:12:41,549 --> 01:12:44,519 big threat in the region. And it's just like, the so the 1230 01:12:44,519 --> 01:12:48,659 question comes to mind or week because are we goading Iran to 1231 01:12:48,659 --> 01:12:52,109 develop a nuke? Do we did we bring that big, we have a battle 1232 01:12:52,109 --> 01:12:54,179 that is not a battleship, but a big aircraft carrier in the 1233 01:12:54,179 --> 01:12:57,389 Straits of Hormuz. And we keep talking about how they want to 1234 01:12:57,389 --> 01:13:00,299 close the Straits of Hormuz, even though it would kill them 1235 01:13:00,839 --> 01:13:04,409 killed themselves, essentially, they can't afford to, because 1236 01:13:04,409 --> 01:13:06,839 that's their, there's nice lesser business. Well, I 1237 01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:07,800 have a different telco, 1238 01:13:07,860 --> 01:13:11,550 I'm thinking that we have the carrier there to kind of you 1239 01:13:11,550 --> 01:13:13,620 know, shake him up again, they're thinking you guys are 1240 01:13:13,620 --> 01:13:16,770 going to plant something, you're going to screw things up and 1241 01:13:16,770 --> 01:13:22,440 blame us. I mean, it seems that all we're doing is goading and 1242 01:13:22,440 --> 01:13:26,040 goading, and goading these guys to make some sort of no mistake. 1243 01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:27,300 I don't know what they're gonna do about it. 1244 01:13:27,330 --> 01:13:30,840 I think it's a different meeting that took place. Of course, you 1245 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:34,230 know, the biggest oil companies in the world are in Iran as 1246 01:13:34,230 --> 01:13:37,410 well. They're all there. I mean, the guys that sit in Zook 1247 01:13:37,410 --> 01:13:41,610 Switzerland, it's it's Glencore, the guy who actually went to 1248 01:13:41,610 --> 01:13:45,450 jail that President Clinton, pardon Mark rich for trading 1249 01:13:45,450 --> 01:13:50,520 with Iran. Oil specifically, I think that they all sat down and 1250 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:55,920 had one of their Skype, a Skype meeting. And they, now Medina 1251 01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:59,340 Jabba Daab Listen, man, we gotta get the price of oil up more, 1252 01:13:59,340 --> 01:14:02,850 this is not good. We tell you what we'll we'll we'll want to 1253 01:14:02,850 --> 01:14:07,020 we'll, we'll the Eisenhower into the Straits of Hormuz, and you 1254 01:14:07,020 --> 01:14:10,140 like, you know, like, do some stuff and whatever. And you 1255 01:14:10,140 --> 01:14:14,040 should come to New York and talk at the UN again. And we'll get 1256 01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,860 that we'll make everyone afraid we'll call our boys over there 1257 01:14:16,860 --> 01:14:21,480 at CNN and Fox. And we'll have my talk about how this this 1258 01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:26,310 worry about the Strait of Hormuz is making the oil go up, which 1259 01:14:26,310 --> 01:14:29,220 is now happening you see continuously on television. 1260 01:14:29,850 --> 01:14:34,500 Unrest in the Strait of Hormuz is resulting in the dollar price 1261 01:14:34,500 --> 01:14:36,780 per barrel of oil rising rapidly. 1262 01:14:36,929 --> 01:14:39,359 It's got it's a selling opportunity coming your way. 1263 01:14:39,449 --> 01:14:42,569 Here's the clip discussion on the Iran Straits of Hormuz, and 1264 01:14:42,569 --> 01:14:46,259 then the the something stands out in this little commentary, 1265 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:46,769 and that's 1266 01:14:46,770 --> 01:14:51,180 they announced that then the commander of the army said that 1267 01:14:51,330 --> 01:14:54,990 they don't think they will do that. And anyway, I mean, they 1268 01:14:54,990 --> 01:14:59,970 can't risk closing the Hormoz the Strait of Hormuz because 1269 01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:05,400 They they're all experts go to the street and they need the 1270 01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:05,970 revenue. 1271 01:15:06,150 --> 01:15:08,670 So they'd be cutting off the nose despite the face cream. So 1272 01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,930 they like in the to drinking a glass of water, we could close 1273 01:15:12,930 --> 01:15:15,480 the Strait of Hormuz, as easy as we could drink a glass of water 1274 01:15:15,480 --> 01:15:17,760 and reality would be like drinking a glass of gasoline. 1275 01:15:18,180 --> 01:15:22,500 And I think the logic of closing the Strait of Hormuz for Iran is 1276 01:15:22,500 --> 01:15:25,710 like the logic of conducting a suicide bombing. They would hurt 1277 01:15:25,710 --> 01:15:28,290 others, but they would hurt themselves the most. And they 1278 01:15:28,290 --> 01:15:31,830 would also be hurting their Chief Commercial and strategic 1279 01:15:31,830 --> 01:15:38,010 patron which is China. So exactly. It's it's mostly 1280 01:15:38,010 --> 01:15:38,550 bluster. 1281 01:15:38,670 --> 01:15:39,690 I'm coming in, John, 1282 01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:41,520 this is China. Ciao. Oh, yeah. But 1283 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,440 I'm telling you, this is bullcrap. This whole thing, 1284 01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:46,800 they're all in cahoots. We're made to believe that that they 1285 01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:50,220 hate us, and we hate them. And all these douchebags. 1286 01:15:51,090 --> 01:15:53,880 It's fine. But when China's involved, we're always doing 1287 01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:55,680 what we can to get them out. 1288 01:15:56,010 --> 01:16:01,500 Oh, yeah, their trainers, damn them. Don't want the trainers, I 1289 01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:01,590 don't 1290 01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:03,690 think they're doing Iranians are being as cooperative as you 1291 01:16:03,690 --> 01:16:06,360 might like to imagine what these Chinese being involved unless 1292 01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,910 they cut them off. And they're not going to do that. So I'm 1293 01:16:08,910 --> 01:16:12,420 listening to C span and about and they're now there's a big 1294 01:16:12,450 --> 01:16:16,560 finally they're having these meetings a subcommittee, this 1295 01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:20,940 guy. Kuhn, one of the representatives is the chairman 1296 01:16:20,940 --> 01:16:25,470 of this subcommittee on Africa. And they bring up some very 1297 01:16:25,470 --> 01:16:28,860 interest because we've talked about this, what five years ago 1298 01:16:29,370 --> 01:16:32,700 on the shows what the Chinese are up to, and I just thought 1299 01:16:32,700 --> 01:16:34,530 this was he brought he brought on Africa, 1300 01:16:34,530 --> 01:16:37,380 they've gotten millions of Chinese, they're working away 1301 01:16:37,380 --> 01:16:39,270 building infrastructure. I thought 1302 01:16:39,270 --> 01:16:42,030 this little summary that he gave her right here on this 1303 01:16:42,060 --> 01:16:46,170 Subcommittee on on China, it says diner, I thought was a 1304 01:16:46,170 --> 01:16:49,260 pretty good wrap up of what we're doing what the Chinese are 1305 01:16:49,260 --> 01:16:51,390 doing, and why we're gonna get screwed in this deal. If we 1306 01:16:51,390 --> 01:16:53,730 don't change our strategies 1307 01:16:53,910 --> 01:16:56,670 on African officials and government is significantly 1308 01:16:56,670 --> 01:17:00,000 weakened that when those regimes can simply turn to China for 1309 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,780 support with essentially no values strings attached. If 1310 01:17:03,780 --> 01:17:06,480 there's one message I wish to convey in this hearing, is that 1311 01:17:06,480 --> 01:17:10,050 the long term American objective of promoting open societies in 1312 01:17:10,050 --> 01:17:13,440 Africa, countries that embrace transparency and democracy, 1313 01:17:13,650 --> 01:17:16,290 respect the environment and protect human rights. He's being 1314 01:17:16,290 --> 01:17:19,920 challenged in some ways by China's approach to Africa. By 1315 01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,800 offering an alternative source of Investment and Development, 1316 01:17:23,070 --> 01:17:26,820 China offers African regimes economic opportunity, at times 1317 01:17:26,850 --> 01:17:29,850 at the expense of government reform, and in a manner that may 1318 01:17:29,850 --> 01:17:33,330 not directly benefit the average African. This highlights a 1319 01:17:33,330 --> 01:17:36,930 second key distinction. In my view, the US government has been 1320 01:17:36,930 --> 01:17:39,060 investing in the people of Africa. While the Chinese 1321 01:17:39,060 --> 01:17:42,060 government has been investing in the infrastructure of Africa, 1322 01:17:42,390 --> 01:17:44,760 it's tough to say precisely given a real lack of 1323 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:48,660 transparency. But experts estimate roughly 70% of Chinese 1324 01:17:48,660 --> 01:17:51,870 assistance to Africa comes in the form of financing for roads, 1325 01:17:51,870 --> 01:17:54,390 stadiums, and government buildings, often built with 1326 01:17:54,390 --> 01:17:58,110 Chinese materials, and often by Chinese labourers. Chinese 1327 01:17:58,110 --> 01:18:01,380 rarely transferring significant technology to Africa, nor 1328 01:18:01,380 --> 01:18:05,310 employing many Africans. In contrast, more than 70%, as this 1329 01:18:05,310 --> 01:18:08,310 chart shows, of US government spending is directed toward 1330 01:18:08,310 --> 01:18:11,040 investment in the African people, primarily through health 1331 01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:14,910 programmes to combat HIV AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis and other 1332 01:18:14,910 --> 01:18:15,510 diseases. 1333 01:18:16,950 --> 01:18:21,330 So I'm thinking, isn't this kind of interesting that our foreign 1334 01:18:21,330 --> 01:18:25,590 policy when it comes to Africa is not really following our own 1335 01:18:25,590 --> 01:18:28,980 advice to ourselves, which is let's build that started 1336 01:18:28,980 --> 01:18:32,790 investment let's, you know, push free enterprise that start 1337 01:18:32,790 --> 01:18:36,450 businesses, let's, you know, do top down stuff. Instead, it's a 1338 01:18:36,450 --> 01:18:40,200 pure socialists, let's give them money to keep them alive as best 1339 01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,320 we can with vaccines and malaria and all kinds of 1340 01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,320 pharmaceuticals, but do nothing for the people as 1341 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:50,490 a whole. But that's obvious. The strategy is clear. Keep them 1342 01:18:50,490 --> 01:18:53,700 alive, so the Chinese can keep them at work. And then once the 1343 01:18:53,700 --> 01:18:56,670 work is done, then we go in. Thanks, China. 1344 01:18:57,660 --> 01:19:01,470 Well, the joke of that analysis is that as he said, In here's 1345 01:19:01,500 --> 01:19:05,370 the Africans aren't being put to work as the Chinese who are 1346 01:19:05,370 --> 01:19:07,740 building this stuff. And they bring in all these Chinese and 1347 01:19:07,740 --> 01:19:09,780 they're turning Africa into a colony. 1348 01:19:09,870 --> 01:19:14,010 Hmm. Well, then maybe give them vaccines with a time bomb 1349 01:19:14,010 --> 01:19:18,450 mechanism. And so they all die. I mean, I don't have no belief 1350 01:19:18,450 --> 01:19:21,180 whatsoever that we're doing anything with an actual true 1351 01:19:21,180 --> 01:19:25,230 hard to these people. I can find 1352 01:19:25,230 --> 01:19:26,700 the whole thing to be distressing. 1353 01:19:28,050 --> 01:19:32,160 Hey, Africa, you're screwed. You're screwed. Yes. What? Well, 1354 01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:35,790 we do have that thing going on in Uganda. But Well, let's think 1355 01:19:35,790 --> 01:19:39,420 about this for a second. So Bill Clinton, of course, along with 1356 01:19:39,420 --> 01:19:43,290 Bill Gates, they're trying to keep the Africans alive. Let me 1357 01:19:43,290 --> 01:19:46,530 just just work through this for a second. So we know the Chinese 1358 01:19:46,530 --> 01:19:47,610 are building everything. 1359 01:19:49,740 --> 01:19:52,200 Well, maybe they take taking credit for it. So everything the 1360 01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:55,800 roads are Chinese, the stadiums are Chinese, you know, there's 1361 01:19:56,130 --> 01:19:56,430 maybe, 1362 01:19:56,670 --> 01:19:59,310 maybe we're just keeping them alive so we can arm them when 1363 01:19:59,310 --> 01:20:00,840 it's time to kick China's out. 1364 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:04,590 I don't know, all I know is we're keeping them alive and the 1365 01:20:04,590 --> 01:20:07,200 Chinese are building stuff. So there's something wrong with 1366 01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:12,660 this picture. And the Chinese are screwing with them. They 1367 01:20:12,660 --> 01:20:17,010 don't care about, you know, this is onerous ogre regime, you know 1368 01:20:17,010 --> 01:20:19,620 that that has no respect for human rights. The Chinese don't 1369 01:20:19,620 --> 01:20:23,250 care. They're just building stuff, roads, mostly roads to 1370 01:20:23,250 --> 01:20:26,340 get into the you know, so they can get their mineral resources 1371 01:20:26,340 --> 01:20:26,610 out. 1372 01:20:27,750 --> 01:20:32,970 Yep, that's all they do. There was a great report moving to my 1373 01:20:32,970 --> 01:20:37,620 favourite pet peeve Haiti. And I tweeted this link and a lot of 1374 01:20:37,620 --> 01:20:41,250 people really enjoy it. It's a report written by Bill Quigley 1375 01:20:41,250 --> 01:20:48,870 and Amber, Rama Knouse. Gus of uncommon dreams.org, which I not 1376 01:20:48,870 --> 01:20:52,230 too familiar with. But the title of it is seven places where 1377 01:20:52,260 --> 01:20:57,240 earthquake money did and did not go. And they really break it 1378 01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:03,510 down so beautifully. And I'm not going to read all seven, 1379 01:21:03,510 --> 01:21:07,470 obviously, but I'll just read the headlines basically. And 1380 01:21:07,500 --> 01:21:09,810 they have it all broken down. They've got all the backup 1381 01:21:09,810 --> 01:21:13,050 material. So here's the first one, the largest single 1382 01:21:13,050 --> 01:21:17,940 recipient of us earthquake money was the US government. So you 1383 01:21:17,940 --> 01:21:22,050 see, we paid ourselves back when we sent 5000 troops in. Well, we 1384 01:21:22,050 --> 01:21:26,550 paid ourselves 379 million of your donations, your $10. You 1385 01:21:26,550 --> 01:21:28,080 texted you. Oh, really? 1386 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:31,740 So people were telling me that they watched that aid for Haiti. 1387 01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:37,560 Reese Witherspoon comes on says, Oh, hi. I George Clooney, George 1388 01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,860 Clooney was George Clooney. He's there. He's making a big deal. 1389 01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,850 And it's basically went back to the our do our own government 1390 01:21:44,850 --> 01:21:48,180 $379 million worth. So is that what you're telling me? It gets 1391 01:21:48,180 --> 01:21:54,120 a little worse. $1.6 billion allocated for relief was spent 1392 01:21:54,150 --> 01:21:57,150 in the following manner. This is according to the August 2010 1393 01:21:57,150 --> 01:22:01,740 report for the US Congressional Research Office. 655 million was 1394 01:22:01,740 --> 01:22:03,780 reimbursed to the Department of Defence. 1395 01:22:04,020 --> 01:22:07,470 So they already got 379 million. This is in total that was just 1396 01:22:07,470 --> 01:22:07,560 for 1397 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:10,650 the 5000 troops. They had people back at home answering phones 1398 01:22:10,650 --> 01:22:14,940 and sending emails 220 million went to the Department of Health 1399 01:22:14,940 --> 01:22:19,260 and Human Services to provide grants to injured individual US 1400 01:22:19,260 --> 01:22:24,360 states to cover services for Haitian evacuees. That's 1401 01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:29,970 disgusting. 350 million went to us AI D Disaster Assistance USA 1402 01:22:29,970 --> 01:22:34,350 ID or buddies. 150 million to the US Department of Agriculture 1403 01:22:34,350 --> 01:22:37,200 for emergency food assistance. I don't know man, I didn't see 1404 01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:42,600 people eat no hamburgers. I saw people eating mud cakes and 15 1405 01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,970 million to the Department of Homeland Security for 1406 01:22:44,970 --> 01:22:53,130 immigration fees. Now the same happened in the international 1407 01:22:53,130 --> 01:22:56,160 assistance the UN Special Envoy for Haiti that would be Bill 1408 01:22:56,160 --> 01:23:00,930 Clinton reported that of the 2.4 billion in humanitarian funding 1409 01:23:00,930 --> 01:23:06,090 34% was provided back to the donors own civil and military 1410 01:23:06,090 --> 01:23:12,510 entities for disaster response. So that that's like 700 million 1411 01:23:12,570 --> 01:23:17,490 more went back to these countries. 28% was given to UN 1412 01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:23,310 agencies and NGOs for specific un projects. 26% was given to 1413 01:23:23,310 --> 01:23:27,690 private contractors and other NGOs. 6% was provided to as in 1414 01:23:27,690 --> 01:23:33,150 kind services. And 5% of the international and national Red 1415 01:23:33,150 --> 01:23:40,320 Cross societies 1%. Went to the government of Haiti. four tenths 1416 01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:47,730 of 1% went to the Haitian NGOs it's 1417 01:23:48,210 --> 01:23:48,930 a good one 1418 01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:52,230 Oh this article is fantastic. There was specific thing in here 1419 01:23:52,230 --> 01:23:53,550 about Clinton looking 1420 01:23:53,550 --> 01:23:56,310 it up you can people can look it up by typing in Bill Quigley 1421 01:23:56,310 --> 01:23:58,170 common dreams and you'll find also in 1422 01:23:58,170 --> 01:24:03,570 the show notes of course at 371 dot n a show notes.com A thing 1423 01:24:03,570 --> 01:24:07,110 that was kind of cool was about the the money that Clinton and 1424 01:24:07,110 --> 01:24:10,200 Bush raised. Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton 1425 01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:13,440 announced a fundraising venture for Haiti on January 16. As of 1426 01:24:13,440 --> 01:24:17,460 October 11, the Fund had received $54 million in 1427 01:24:17,460 --> 01:24:20,700 donations just in this year cash. Wait, hold on a second. 1428 01:24:21,810 --> 01:24:25,200 We just need cash. I know a lot of people want to send blankets 1429 01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:27,930 or water. Just send your cash. 1430 01:24:28,350 --> 01:24:31,500 It has partnered with several Haitian and international 1431 01:24:31,500 --> 01:24:34,710 organisations. Though most of its work appears to be 1432 01:24:34,710 --> 01:24:38,670 admirable. It has only donated $2 million to the construction 1433 01:24:39,030 --> 01:24:46,260 of of Haiti and 29 million to a for profit luxury hotel, which 1434 01:24:46,260 --> 01:24:49,800 is what we predicted. We predicted Clinton would build a 1435 01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:54,480 great hotel for himself. And there it is. Almost half of the 1436 01:24:54,480 --> 01:24:56,820 money went to build a hotel. 1437 01:24:59,310 --> 01:25:04,140 Well at Surely I read that wrong. Oh, it donated 2 million 1438 01:25:04,140 --> 01:25:08,130 so far to the construction of the 20. Mine doesn't say so far. 1439 01:25:08,670 --> 01:25:13,200 What says it is donate 20 I mean, I'm sorry, you're right 1440 01:25:13,230 --> 01:25:16,380 indicates so far. I'm sorry. You're right. But that doesn't 1441 01:25:16,380 --> 01:25:19,920 mean it doesn't mean more and it's probably you don't give all 1442 01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:23,700 the money at once. So it's just a construction project. And I'm 1443 01:25:23,700 --> 01:25:26,250 sure that there's probably still holding out for the name of the 1444 01:25:26,250 --> 01:25:30,600 place. It's got to be the built in Marriott. And I won't be the 1445 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:34,620 Bill Clinton Marriott it would have to be the something Bill 1446 01:25:34,620 --> 01:25:36,720 Clinton luxury suites by a Harry. 1447 01:25:38,970 --> 01:25:42,510 Bill and Hillary luxury suites by Marriott. But here's the 1448 01:25:42,510 --> 01:25:46,800 smoking gun. Less than a month after the quake hit the US 1449 01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:52,350 ambassador. Jim Kenneth Emerton sent a cable titled quote, the 1450 01:25:52,350 --> 01:25:56,670 gold rushes on as part of a situation report to Washington 1451 01:25:56,670 --> 01:26:01,260 this was released by Haiti liberty and WikiLeaks. 1452 01:26:02,010 --> 01:26:07,350 Literally, the guy sent an email a cable saying the Gold Rush is 1453 01:26:07,350 --> 01:26:09,690 on get on it everybody is 1454 01:26:10,740 --> 01:26:12,300 like these WikiLeaks. Yeah, 1455 01:26:12,300 --> 01:26:15,030 of course. But what an idiot 1456 01:26:15,660 --> 01:26:23,310 to say you didn't expect to get busted. Wow, this is a scandal. 1457 01:26:23,670 --> 01:26:28,320 It's a huge scandal. This article This is Daniel. This is 1458 01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:30,870 not a slouch of a writer by the way is a professor of law at 1459 01:26:30,900 --> 01:26:31,830 Loyola. Yeah, he's 1460 01:26:31,830 --> 01:26:32,730 a real guy. Right? 1461 01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:36,450 So yeah, it's not some, you know, some hack. Maybe a hack, 1462 01:26:36,450 --> 01:26:40,290 but he's still not a hack writer. This is a this is a 1463 01:26:40,290 --> 01:26:43,920 scandal as far as I'm concerned. gold rushes on gold rushes I've 1464 01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,290 never heard about this one. And I didn't know they were giving 1465 01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:49,350 you so all the people all the I don't want to call them idiots 1466 01:26:49,350 --> 01:26:52,680 but you call it the day it happened. Don't send your money 1467 01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:56,880 to these DT DS organisations don't text $10 Because it's not 1468 01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:00,660 going to Haiti, and is 90 that was going to the US military. 1469 01:27:00,750 --> 01:27:04,170 This is a new trick for collecting money. I mean, you 1470 01:27:04,170 --> 01:27:07,530 know, doing poppy fields was one way of getting near balancing 1471 01:27:07,530 --> 01:27:09,660 the books. But this is even better. 1472 01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:13,590 shyster show up and take advantage of people's goodwill 1473 01:27:13,590 --> 01:27:14,520 and generosity. 1474 01:27:15,060 --> 01:27:21,000 You are what you say biatch me horrible, horrible people. This 1475 01:27:21,180 --> 01:27:22,260 is so disgusting. 1476 01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:28,920 10 is really just really bad. And it's just why isn't this not 1477 01:27:28,950 --> 01:27:30,960 front page news everywhere? 1478 01:27:32,250 --> 01:27:35,280 You really after five and a half years? You're asking me this 1479 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:35,880 question. 1480 01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:38,790 I'm asking it as a rhetorical question for the audience. You 1481 01:27:38,790 --> 01:27:39,750 need to say why? 1482 01:27:41,610 --> 01:27:43,560 Don't ask me any you're screwed. 1483 01:27:45,480 --> 01:27:49,560 You're screwed, dude. All right.

That's very important. But I but you know, 1491 01:28:07,829 --> 01:28:11,249 I'm not going to be buried. Mickey and Christina have 1492 01:28:11,279 --> 01:28:15,959 Express instructions to burn me and smoke me. 1493 01:28:17,250 --> 01:28:19,020 Rather you and Keith Richards 1494 01:28:20,310 --> 01:28:21,720 now he did the tattoo thing. 1495 01:28:22,170 --> 01:28:24,180 No, he smoked his dad. No, I 1496 01:28:24,180 --> 01:28:28,680 think he he check it I think he snorted him. I think he's 1497 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:31,920 smaller. Anyway, may snorted. I'm not into the cocaine stuff 1498 01:28:31,950 --> 01:28:35,910 or the weed is okay. But not the cocaine's. That's not good. No, 1499 01:28:35,910 --> 01:28:41,340 shoot me up either. Attentive, no agenda producer brought the 1500 01:28:41,340 --> 01:28:48,960 following national treasure NPR report to my attention. And we 1501 01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:54,090 have long time asserted that the public so called Public Media, 1502 01:28:54,480 --> 01:28:59,010 which by all reports only receives 1% of their funding is 1503 01:28:59,010 --> 01:29:01,530 from the United States government and they'll soon be 1504 01:29:01,530 --> 01:29:05,880 zero. Who cares? 1% is a rounding error. Yeah, who cares? 1505 01:29:05,970 --> 01:29:09,510 The rest is supposed to become from underwriters. 1506 01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:12,300 Yeah, big corporations or advertisers or whatever you want 1507 01:29:12,300 --> 01:29:12,810 to call him? 1508 01:29:13,110 --> 01:29:15,330 This would be the relevant clip. Okay, moving 1509 01:29:15,330 --> 01:29:19,260 on to money. How are NPRs corporate underwriting revenues 1510 01:29:19,260 --> 01:29:22,650 holding up in the recession? And what about foundation grants 1511 01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:29,640 to different stories? Underwriting is underwriting is 1512 01:29:29,670 --> 01:29:33,660 is down it's down for everybody. I mean, this is this is this is 1513 01:29:33,660 --> 01:29:37,500 the area that is most down for us is in is in sponsorship, 1514 01:29:37,530 --> 01:29:40,200 underwriting advertising, call it whatever you want to 1515 01:29:40,440 --> 01:29:43,350 call it, whatever you want. So we'll just call it advertising 1516 01:29:43,350 --> 01:29:47,100 for for all intents and purposes now, when you want to get in a 1517 01:29:47,100 --> 01:29:50,490 big advertiser when there's when do you know who the biggest 1518 01:29:50,490 --> 01:29:55,230 advertisers are these days? Pharmaceutical companies and 1519 01:29:55,230 --> 01:29:59,370 related companies turns out that we also have big hospitals are 1520 01:29:59,370 --> 01:30:03,270 now the bay Big big sponsors because it's a money making 1521 01:30:03,270 --> 01:30:06,540 enterprise you know, this is just look at your bills, 1522 01:30:06,900 --> 01:30:08,880 sicknesses is like money in the bank, 1523 01:30:08,910 --> 01:30:13,560 sicknesses money in the bank. So when you are taking advertising 1524 01:30:14,070 --> 01:30:17,010 from these and of course it sounds good to say you know 1525 01:30:17,010 --> 01:30:21,150 this. This programme is underwritten by and then we'll 1526 01:30:21,150 --> 01:30:22,680 say What shall we say? Shall we say 1527 01:30:22,770 --> 01:30:23,910 voice of terror? 1528 01:30:25,740 --> 01:30:29,790 The voice of treason so I thought first I thought I was 1529 01:30:29,790 --> 01:30:32,610 going to disregard this because I thought it would be this was 1530 01:30:32,610 --> 01:30:36,300 part of on the media which is essentially NPR reporting about 1531 01:30:36,300 --> 01:30:39,480 media and it would kind of be okay to do what they did. But 1532 01:30:39,480 --> 01:30:42,870 it's not it's a it's a report that aired on was it the Morning 1533 01:30:42,870 --> 01:30:44,520 Edition what's the name of that show? They have 1534 01:30:45,390 --> 01:30:48,060 the Morning Edition in the Morning Edition whatever in the 1535 01:30:48,060 --> 01:30:48,780 Morning Edition 1536 01:30:48,809 --> 01:30:53,729 listen to how the just how they blatantly now are saying that 1537 01:30:53,729 --> 01:30:57,629 they are taking advertising from the pharmaceutical industrial 1538 01:30:57,629 --> 01:30:58,229 complex the 1539 01:30:58,230 --> 01:31:01,500 year that just ended hospitals stepped up their spending on 1540 01:31:01,530 --> 01:31:04,770 advertising. Blake farmer, a member station, remember he's 1541 01:31:04,770 --> 01:31:08,580 saying advertising and W PLN reports that academic medical 1542 01:31:08,580 --> 01:31:11,610 centres are some of the latest airing commercials coast to 1543 01:31:11,610 --> 01:31:12,810 coast. The biggest 1544 01:31:12,810 --> 01:31:16,470 spenders on advertising are also not surprisingly, the household 1545 01:31:16,470 --> 01:31:20,460 names advertising Mayo Clinic, Mount Sinai and New York 1546 01:31:20,460 --> 01:31:24,750 Presbyterian led the way for the first half of 2011. Overall 1547 01:31:24,750 --> 01:31:28,110 hospitals shelled out 20% More during that period than in the 1548 01:31:28,110 --> 01:31:32,130 prior year. According to the research firm Kantar Media. One 1549 01:31:32,130 --> 01:31:35,430 of the newcomers trying its luck on the national stage is 1550 01:31:35,460 --> 01:31:39,030 Vanderbilt University Medical Centre. And the most amazing 1551 01:31:39,030 --> 01:31:41,100 part to hear this earring or commercial 1552 01:31:41,550 --> 01:31:45,840 is that the most amazing part has yet to come. That's the 1553 01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:47,190 promise of discovery. 1554 01:31:47,310 --> 01:31:50,220 In the last year the Nashville based teaching hospital bought 1555 01:31:50,220 --> 01:31:54,600 ad time on ad time, CNN, Fox News and NPR. 1556 01:31:54,630 --> 01:31:57,660 So wait a minute, did he just say they bought ad time on NPR? 1557 01:31:57,660 --> 01:32:00,930 Did he just really say that? Yeah, that's 1558 01:32:00,930 --> 01:32:04,380 what he said. Jill Austin is Vanderbilt's chief marketing 1559 01:32:04,380 --> 01:32:04,950 officer. 1560 01:32:04,980 --> 01:32:06,390 We think of it almost as a 1561 01:32:06,480 --> 01:32:08,880 service is what you do. By the way, when you score a new 1562 01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:11,880 advertiser, you let the chief marketing officer come on in an 1563 01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:14,100 advertorial This is what Yeah, 1564 01:32:14,100 --> 01:32:17,010 bring him on. Give him some extra some extra bonus extra 1565 01:32:17,010 --> 01:32:17,910 juice. Yeah, 1566 01:32:17,910 --> 01:32:21,510 we're gonna kick off. So when you advertise on NPR, we're 1567 01:32:21,510 --> 01:32:24,510 gonna let you kick off the campaign, with an advertorial 1568 01:32:24,510 --> 01:32:27,540 that will do on that are in the Morning Edition report, which is 1569 01:32:27,540 --> 01:32:28,590 really popular 1570 01:32:28,620 --> 01:32:30,960 to the public to get the word out. The Vanderbilt 1571 01:32:30,990 --> 01:32:34,200 ads primarily focused on treatments for cancer and heart 1572 01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:35,790 disease that are based on that 1573 01:32:35,790 --> 01:32:38,610 we'll make sure we run down everything you do, will let you 1574 01:32:38,610 --> 01:32:41,220 know what you primarily focus on. So people are really into 1575 01:32:41,220 --> 01:32:43,800 the ad campaign before it kicks in with the advertising 1576 01:32:43,830 --> 01:32:48,210 on an individual's DNA. But Austin says luring patients 1577 01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:49,650 hasn't been the primary goal. 1578 01:32:49,740 --> 01:32:53,940 Ultimately, it helps us attract students to Vanderbilt, faculty 1579 01:32:53,940 --> 01:32:57,810 and staff, you know, we ourselves are proud of the work 1580 01:32:57,810 --> 01:32:58,650 that we do. So 1581 01:32:58,650 --> 01:33:01,680 now we'll let you talk about what why you really advertise. 1582 01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:03,750 But just to bounce that out a little bit. We've got to let one 1583 01:33:03,750 --> 01:33:06,390 of our shield guys in well, it only be like five seconds. I 1584 01:33:06,390 --> 01:33:08,040 promise. It's really focused 1585 01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:09,990 in that direction. Despite what 1586 01:33:09,990 --> 01:33:13,860 some institutions say, Joel English of the Milwaukee based 1587 01:33:13,860 --> 01:33:15,480 marketing firm BVK. 1588 01:33:15,509 --> 01:33:18,209 By the way, we'll grab some guy from some marketing thing that 1589 01:33:18,209 --> 01:33:21,029 no one's ever heard of, and no one gives a crap about just some 1590 01:33:21,029 --> 01:33:22,409 nondescript name 1591 01:33:22,469 --> 01:33:25,889 says the thrust of national marketing isn't recruiting or 1592 01:33:25,919 --> 01:33:27,029 even fundraising. 1593 01:33:27,120 --> 01:33:32,010 There are ancillary benefits to a effective regional or national 1594 01:33:32,010 --> 01:33:36,450 campaign. That said, during a time in healthcare where dollars 1595 01:33:36,450 --> 01:33:40,530 are precious, I don't believe those would be the key reasons 1596 01:33:40,530 --> 01:33:43,920 for a national campaign. I think the key reason is to attract 1597 01:33:44,190 --> 01:33:45,150 more patients. 1598 01:33:45,210 --> 01:33:47,970 Several teaching hospitals have tried raising their national 1599 01:33:47,970 --> 01:33:51,390 profiles. In recent years, the University of Pittsburgh Medical 1600 01:33:51,390 --> 01:33:55,230 Centre launched a multimillion dollar campaign in 2005, of 1601 01:33:55,230 --> 01:33:59,040 which we got not to money. The University of Michigan Health 1602 01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:02,670 System has been on NPR and bought ads in the New York Times 1603 01:34:02,700 --> 01:34:07,080 Sunday magazine, English as a lot of the impetus is shrinking 1604 01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:10,440 Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements for a particular 1605 01:34:10,440 --> 01:34:12,660 squeeze on teaching hospitals. So now I'm going 1606 01:34:12,660 --> 01:34:15,510 to shuttle ahead in this report to the very end because that's 1607 01:34:15,510 --> 01:34:17,460 where it gets interesting yet again. 1608 01:34:17,910 --> 01:34:20,850 But guilt says as much as anything, the institution wants 1609 01:34:20,850 --> 01:34:23,970 its name in front of physicians who ultimately make the 1610 01:34:23,970 --> 01:34:24,630 referrals. 1611 01:34:24,690 --> 01:34:28,350 Now we've got a great audience here at NPR. We have doctors 1612 01:34:28,350 --> 01:34:31,050 listening, you know, general practitioners, we've got 1613 01:34:31,050 --> 01:34:34,860 specialists, they will also be hearing your ads, and we will be 1614 01:34:34,860 --> 01:34:37,920 putting into their brains to recommend going to your 1615 01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:40,590 hospital. We have the best audience. It's proven Look, 1616 01:34:40,590 --> 01:34:43,140 here's all the research that we have on our audience. They're 1617 01:34:43,140 --> 01:34:45,780 smart, and they're educated and they're doctors. 1618 01:34:46,140 --> 01:34:49,380 The goals vary. Guilt says and most are hard to measure. 1619 01:34:49,410 --> 01:34:53,850 You can't necessarily quantify it Hey, 56 patients came in last 1620 01:34:53,850 --> 01:34:58,410 year. But you can say the difference from before to after 1621 01:34:58,410 --> 01:35:00,600 is significantly positive. This is 1622 01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:02,850 where we say, you know, we don't know where half of your 1623 01:35:02,850 --> 01:35:06,420 advertisers advertising dollars will go on NPR but we know half 1624 01:35:06,420 --> 01:35:07,890 of it will be working or 1625 01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:11,460 it isn't for the latest to broaden its horizons. Vanderbilt 1626 01:35:11,490 --> 01:35:15,120 reports a statistically significant change. However, the 1627 01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:18,270 University of Michigan Health System wasn't exactly thrilled 1628 01:35:18,270 --> 01:35:21,570 with a result of its national ads. spokesman says it recently 1629 01:35:21,570 --> 01:35:24,840 moved its national marketing away from pricey traditional 1630 01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,030 media and to the web instead. 1631 01:35:27,180 --> 01:35:31,110 So I'm like, well, that's interesting. Why would they say 1632 01:35:31,170 --> 01:35:36,060 at the very end that Michigan is moving away to the web? So all I 1633 01:35:36,060 --> 01:35:39,570 did as I listened to the past week of NPR shows 1634 01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:43,170 the annual event when the folks at StoryCorps ask people from 1635 01:35:43,170 --> 01:35:46,290 around the country to interview the people who matter most to 1636 01:35:46,290 --> 01:35:49,500 them. This year, we're hoping you might pay tribute to a 1637 01:35:49,500 --> 01:35:53,340 teacher. Tell me more barbershop contributor Lester Spence has 1638 01:35:53,340 --> 01:35:56,550 this story for the project. After high school, he was 1639 01:35:56,550 --> 01:35:59,790 accepted into the University of Michigan. But the notion of game 1640 01:35:59,790 --> 01:36:02,640 this was number one, number two, I want to find out where the new 1641 01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:06,360 technology is being developed to make gas engines more efficient. 1642 01:36:06,540 --> 01:36:10,500 So I went on a tour of an engine lab with Professor Anna 1643 01:36:10,500 --> 01:36:13,620 Stephanopoulos. She's the director of the Automotive 1644 01:36:13,620 --> 01:36:16,920 Research Centre at the University of Michigan. And then 1645 01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:17,940 we have number three, 1646 01:36:17,970 --> 01:36:20,820 rich Rodriguez recently fired as the University of Michigan 1647 01:36:20,820 --> 01:36:23,790 football coach decided to clear out his closet of everything 1648 01:36:23,790 --> 01:36:26,940 related to the Wolverines and donate it all to the Wayne 1649 01:36:26,940 --> 01:36:28,590 Michigan Salvation Army 1650 01:36:28,620 --> 01:36:33,540 432 items, most of which will be auctioned tomorrow, including 1651 01:36:33,540 --> 01:36:37,410 Michigan jackets, shirts, hand towels, and this big ticket item 1652 01:36:37,440 --> 01:36:39,480 says Major John Aaron of the Salvation Army. 1653 01:36:39,750 --> 01:36:42,000 So we're really sorry, the guy got fired, but don't worry, 1654 01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,400 we'll make it up with some cool story about all the shit you're 1655 01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:49,620 selling. NPR is a compromised rotten organisation. 1656 01:36:50,910 --> 01:36:53,580 Unfortunately, they're making a lot of money. 1657 01:36:54,150 --> 01:36:57,630 Yeah, well, you know, the that's what you do. I mean, that's what 1658 01:36:57,630 --> 01:37:01,650 people tend to do. They they compromise their principles, 1659 01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:06,510 which we haven't done and they make a lot of money. That's why 1660 01:37:06,510 --> 01:37:08,460 it works. That's the way the system is and that's why the 1661 01:37:08,460 --> 01:37:10,800 public that gets short cheated on the whole thing they don't 1662 01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:13,470 get to find out about these bills you went ran into the 1663 01:37:13,470 --> 01:37:18,270 other few minutes ago.

It was Andrew Gardner. He donated a 1724 01:41:00,930 --> 01:41:04,950 couple I think on the 20 just before our Christmas clip show. 1725 01:41:05,220 --> 01:41:10,560 I think 120 407 Which is the most uninteresting number in the 1726 01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:15,210 universe. Yeah. In the universe. So 12407 He says in the morning, 1727 01:41:15,210 --> 01:41:17,280 he joined a clip show glad I didn't have to go seven days 1728 01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:20,220 have no agenda, donating the least. Or the most uninteresting 1729 01:41:20,220 --> 01:41:25,230 number in order to harness to getting laid karma as well as 1730 01:41:25,230 --> 01:41:29,130 good karma for my flight to get most Sound of Music.

And so we 1733 01:41:35,970 --> 01:41:39,030 looked it up, it didn't come across on the spreadsheet. And 1734 01:41:39,030 --> 01:41:43,920 curiously, this is the thing that is the most interesting. He 1735 01:41:43,920 --> 01:41:47,940 sent a link where he donated and this got me immediately 1736 01:41:47,940 --> 01:41:51,570 suspicious. I clicked on the link. And it took me to the John 1737 01:41:51,570 --> 01:41:54,690 C. Dvorak account, which by the way, these things should link to 1738 01:41:54,690 --> 01:41:59,460 the no agenda show. Not John C. Dvorak. That's the Oh, no, 1739 01:41:59,460 --> 01:42:01,770 that's not what the reason was. I still download that 1740 01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:04,770 spreadsheet and incorporate it so that should have still been 1741 01:42:04,770 --> 01:42:08,190 in there until I you know, until that dwindles down to know 1742 01:42:08,220 --> 01:42:10,260 there's a lot of old subscriptions and stuff and 1743 01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:12,630 right Well, those are get cancelled automatically. Don't 1744 01:42:12,630 --> 01:42:14,100 worry. Yeah, eventually. 1745 01:42:14,100 --> 01:42:17,280 So anyway, I'm looking at says, Okay, well, wait a minute. It 1746 01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:20,040 says at the top because it tells you what the donations for it 1747 01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:24,000 says. donation for the most uninteresting or least 1748 01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:27,510 interesting number in the universe one to 407. It was like 1749 01:42:27,540 --> 01:42:32,550 it was like a title of a button. I had ever created this button. 1750 01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:37,260 So I went back into the Pay Pal account, the Jhansi Devarakonda. 1751 01:42:37,260 --> 01:42:39,930 See, well, maybe somebody came with some scam because he got 1752 01:42:39,930 --> 01:42:43,680 this from a Google search. He searched Google for most 1753 01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:46,950 uninteresting number least interested enough. And this 1754 01:42:46,950 --> 01:42:49,410 Google thing came up and when he clicked on it went to John C. 1755 01:42:49,410 --> 01:42:53,520 Dvorak company with this moniker. So I never created the 1756 01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:56,190 moniker because I you create your own buttons on PayPal. So I 1757 01:42:56,190 --> 01:43:00,030 went in there and I looked up my account that had these these 1758 01:43:00,480 --> 01:43:04,770 donations, and I found his donation of one to 407. So it 1759 01:43:04,770 --> 01:43:08,700 did go to the right account. Hmm. But how did this button 1760 01:43:08,700 --> 01:43:12,150 magically appeared that I never did I never designed somebody 1761 01:43:12,420 --> 01:43:16,770 did it from outside somehow? Oh, no. Well, I mean, it's a good 1762 01:43:16,770 --> 01:43:20,370 thing to me that you could also scam people, I really do 1763 01:43:20,370 --> 01:43:24,390 recommend you go to Dvorak, that org slash N A, or one of the 1764 01:43:24,390 --> 01:43:28,290 other conduits into our regular donation pages, as opposed to 1765 01:43:28,290 --> 01:43:32,550 just some random thing from Google, although I'm not 1766 01:43:32,550 --> 01:43:35,670 complaining, but it just seemed easier or weird to me. And 1767 01:43:35,670 --> 01:43:37,980 there's I don't know what to make of it. I didn't know you 1768 01:43:37,980 --> 01:43:40,500 could do that. Somewhat. Obviously one of our listeners 1769 01:43:40,500 --> 01:43:41,310 go Yeah, of course, 1770 01:43:41,310 --> 01:43:44,070 you can always make a make a button for someone else's Pay 1771 01:43:44,070 --> 01:43:47,490 Pal. That's actually not a bad idea just to come up with crazy 1772 01:43:47,490 --> 01:43:51,960 things, you know, like, you know, donate to shear 1773 01:43:52,650 --> 01:44:02,460 professional magnificence. Hour. Oh blame, I 1774 01:44:02,460 --> 01:44:03,540 found it interesting. 1775 01:44:03,750 --> 01:44:07,440 Slash and a donating his loving sorry. So 1776 01:44:07,440 --> 01:44:10,800 anyway, yeah. So that was a kind of a unique experience going 1777 01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:13,350 through that. But anyway, I want to thank Andrew for allowing me 1778 01:44:13,350 --> 01:44:17,760 to go on and on with that story. So anyway, divorce.org/na 1779 01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:21,120 channelled of org.com/na no agenda show.com no agenda 1780 01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:25,200 nation.com check on the check the donation buttons that will 1781 01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:28,560 probably I'm gonna try to put up a whole new page of for donors 1782 01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:31,710 on the main donut nation page with some of these things on 1783 01:44:31,710 --> 01:44:34,560 there. I'll put the least interesting number donation on 1784 01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:38,850 there. We do have an interesting not to use the word interesting 1785 01:44:38,850 --> 01:44:43,170 over and over, but we we do have an interesting date coming up to 1786 01:44:43,170 --> 01:44:51,360 112 is as a palindrome. It's February 1 12 21120. That's a 1787 01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:54,180 good one. That's a good one. And that's coming up shortly. And, 1788 01:44:54,390 --> 01:44:56,370 you know, maybe we should promote that. I haven't done a 1789 01:44:56,370 --> 01:44:58,770 mailing for a while. So I'll just say hello to everybody. 1790 01:44:59,580 --> 01:45:05,250 Match. Our who's a patron of the show check in said I quit my job 1791 01:45:05,250 --> 01:45:07,020 the beginning of November haven't been able to find a 1792 01:45:07,020 --> 01:45:10,650 comparable one until now. Well, that wasn't such a good idea. 1793 01:45:11,190 --> 01:45:15,000 But you never know. I have a phone interview Friday in the 1794 01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,670 morning, please give me a shot of Congress for the interview. 1795 01:45:17,670 --> 01:45:19,980 Once I have a job again, I'll be sure to finish my knighthood. 1796 01:45:20,010 --> 01:45:23,310 I'm only $150 away. So I think we should definitely give him 1797 01:45:23,310 --> 01:45:27,180 some karma for that. You've got karma. Thanks for the karma, he 1798 01:45:27,180 --> 01:45:31,230 says and for making the best podcast in the universe. 1799 01:45:33,510 --> 01:45:35,730 And I want to point out to listeners who complain about the 1800 01:45:35,730 --> 01:45:38,460 fact that this segment goes on too long that it will always 1801 01:45:38,490 --> 01:45:42,720 have a certain length, but not today. We're short by trying to 1802 01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:43,230 pat it. 1803 01:45:43,260 --> 01:45:54,210 Yeah, well, good job. Day. One for today. Matt Milligan 1804 01:45:54,210 --> 01:45:58,110 Congratulations, brother Jake. Oh, who celebrate his birthday 1805 01:45:58,170 --> 01:46:00,990 last Sunday on the first happy birthday from all your buddies 1806 01:46:00,990 --> 01:46:05,550 here at the no agenda show. No knighthoods. Today? No Dame 1807 01:46:05,550 --> 01:46:07,470 hoods? No, 1808 01:46:07,500 --> 01:46:11,580 you said you know when we did the show on the first. You know 1809 01:46:11,580 --> 01:46:14,190 where was hungover. You said I don't think anyone's listening. 1810 01:46:14,190 --> 01:46:15,750 And I think this kind of proves it out. Yeah. 1811 01:46:16,710 --> 01:46:20,550 So another prediction come true. No one's listening. Check it off 1812 01:46:20,550 --> 01:46:23,130 the book. The no agenda show where no one's listening and 1813 01:46:23,130 --> 01:46:27,540 you're screwed. Okay, a second half of the show. Great news. 1814 01:46:27,570 --> 01:46:30,360 I'm very excited about this. We've had a lot of Norwegian 1815 01:46:30,360 --> 01:46:41,730 stuff. Playing that sound go on. I can't play that song because 1816 01:46:41,730 --> 01:46:44,370 you are the one that has the slide. I'm asking 1817 01:46:44,370 --> 01:46:47,640 if I should play the sound. No, I think I thought fine is not 1818 01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:47,880 fine. 1819 01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:55,920 10s of 1000s of dead herring have carpeted a stretch of coast 1820 01:46:55,920 --> 01:47:00,390 in Northern Norway. But here's the crazy thing. The fish 1821 01:47:00,390 --> 01:47:04,380 appeared on New Year's Eve. leading to speculation of course 1822 01:47:04,410 --> 01:47:06,750 you know, the sciences in the predators might have driven a 1823 01:47:06,750 --> 01:47:09,660 huge school ashore they could have been watching the beach by 1824 01:47:09,660 --> 01:47:13,200 powerful storm. But here's what's crazy. They were getting 1825 01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:17,370 ready to clean it up. Which is the estimated 20 tonne tonnes of 1826 01:47:17,370 --> 01:47:20,310 dead fish. The fish disappeared. 1827 01:47:20,820 --> 01:47:23,370 l bullcrap. Clearly, 1828 01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:26,430 there's a stargate in Norway, 1829 01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:29,850 the one who makes that prediction is the star gate with 1830 01:47:29,850 --> 01:47:30,960 fish on the other side. 1831 01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:34,920 And the star gate open the fish popped out and the star gate 1832 01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:42,330 opened again and they flew back into it I'm telling you know you 1833 01:47:42,330 --> 01:47:50,400 think I'm crazy about these stargates man but they exist was 1834 01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:53,130 actually quite nice doing that with your train whistle. Just 1835 01:47:53,130 --> 01:47:55,920 slide whistle at the same time. kind of worked. 1836 01:47:58,140 --> 01:47:59,550 I think we're done. No, we're 1837 01:47:59,550 --> 01:48:03,570 not done. You're talking about? Absolutely not. 1838 01:48:04,050 --> 01:48:08,070 So I was watching PBS and of all things they put on they put on 1839 01:48:08,100 --> 01:48:13,500 this disc guy. I just find him to be a joke. This Cornell West. 1840 01:48:13,530 --> 01:48:17,670 Oh, this is? Yeah, I know. Yeah. Black guy was here every which 1841 01:48:17,670 --> 01:48:21,180 way and a big gap Tuesday. He's just rants. He's the professor 1842 01:48:21,180 --> 01:48:25,650 who was crazy professor. He had this like Professor Irwin Corey. 1843 01:48:25,680 --> 01:48:28,890 He had the drinks with President Obama had the root beer. I don't 1844 01:48:28,890 --> 01:48:28,980 know 1845 01:48:28,980 --> 01:48:31,980 if he did or not whatever the case was plate critic. This guy 1846 01:48:31,980 --> 01:48:34,710 finally discusses success. And he gets the old meme in there. 1847 01:48:34,980 --> 01:48:38,190 Apparently successes when you do your work for other people for 1848 01:48:38,190 --> 01:48:41,130 free. You know, on service organisations, that's the way to 1849 01:48:41,130 --> 01:48:42,030 go to 1850 01:48:42,030 --> 01:48:47,760 doing it. Oh, yes. For the last 35 years, we've taught young 1851 01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:50,820 people in every corner of this nation to do what be successful, 1852 01:48:50,820 --> 01:48:55,230 be successful, be successful. What does success mean? Material 1853 01:48:55,230 --> 01:49:00,930 toys, title, wealth, power, and being well adjusted to 1854 01:49:00,930 --> 01:49:08,130 injustice. well adjusted to injustice, well adapted to 1855 01:49:08,130 --> 01:49:15,660 indifference is that success. I'm old school. My tradition 1856 01:49:15,660 --> 01:49:24,210 told me to be great. She is greatest among you has to do 1857 01:49:24,210 --> 01:49:28,740 with the quality of your service to others. And the depth of your 1858 01:49:28,740 --> 01:49:33,810 love for others beginning with a great gift to Jewish brothers 1859 01:49:33,810 --> 01:49:37,560 and sisters to the world. The prophetic tradition 1860 01:49:38,460 --> 01:49:40,830 and he goes off the deep end with someone who doesn't make 1861 01:49:40,830 --> 01:49:41,250 any sense. 1862 01:49:41,519 --> 01:49:44,909 Can you do me a favour? Are you doing twit on Sunday? It's about 1863 01:49:44,909 --> 01:49:48,959 time for you to be on the show again, right? Maybe? Yeah.

We're expanding our 1873 01:50:22,499 --> 01:50:23,339 operation. 1874 01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:26,880 Oh, who was we white man that will Hey, 1875 01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:30,210 man. I'm old school man. It's you and me. We're expanding our 1876 01:50:30,210 --> 01:50:34,290 operation. Well, the it's going great with the syndication of 1877 01:50:34,290 --> 01:50:35,250 our new format. 1878 01:50:35,490 --> 01:50:38,400 Okay, when loose or draw. 1879 01:50:38,700 --> 01:50:43,890 That's right now we are very happy to present to you. Our 1880 01:50:43,890 --> 01:50:47,580 show legend Dynamo Come on. Are you Canadian? This time to play 1881 01:50:48,930 --> 01:50:50,190 or drone 1882 01:50:52,560 --> 01:50:55,830 has been a lot of talk lately about holes in security along 1883 01:50:55,830 --> 01:50:57,120 the border with Canada. 1884 01:50:57,390 --> 01:51:02,220 The risk of terrorist activity across our northern border is 1885 01:51:02,220 --> 01:51:04,770 actually higher than across our southern border. 1886 01:51:05,730 --> 01:51:09,510 But CBC News has learned that hole has now gotten much 1887 01:51:09,510 --> 01:51:13,860 smaller. creditor bees from this base in North Dakota have more 1888 01:51:13,860 --> 01:51:17,580 than quadrupled their range and are now patrolling 1500 1889 01:51:17,580 --> 01:51:22,170 kilometres right to Washington State. As well before they 1890 01:51:22,170 --> 01:51:25,110 couldn't fly within 16 kilometres of the Canadian 1891 01:51:25,110 --> 01:51:29,460 border. Now they are cleared to fly right up to the line with 1892 01:51:29,490 --> 01:51:34,260 950 nautical miles of border. Linear bore by 100 miles deep is 1893 01:51:34,260 --> 01:51:34,950 100 miles deep. 1894 01:51:34,980 --> 01:51:37,500 So rough math 95,000 square miles. 1895 01:51:39,510 --> 01:51:43,110 It's not like the Predator drone has just appeared here. They 1896 01:51:43,110 --> 01:51:47,850 were first unveiled amid much fanfare two years ago. But it's 1897 01:51:47,850 --> 01:51:51,540 taken this long to train pilots and to prove to federal aviation 1898 01:51:51,540 --> 01:51:55,620 authorities that they can operate safely inside civilian 1899 01:51:55,620 --> 01:51:58,920 airspace. I noticed you steer away from using the term 1900 01:51:58,920 --> 01:51:59,700 terrorist. 1901 01:52:01,350 --> 01:52:04,830 Well, there are other applications for this, but 1902 01:52:04,830 --> 01:52:07,170 certainly terrorism x comes to mind. 1903 01:52:09,180 --> 01:52:13,260 So how effective has the programme been in the past two 1904 01:52:13,260 --> 01:52:16,860 years? It's a sensitive issue. Have you been involved in 1905 01:52:16,860 --> 01:52:18,660 interceptions in the last two years? 1906 01:52:18,720 --> 01:52:26,040 Not Not, not with actual crossings? And used with rest 1907 01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:28,560 with actual investigative reporting where you assisted? 1908 01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:30,510 precipitate what happened? Correct. 1909 01:52:30,750 --> 01:52:33,870 So there you go. drones over Canada, but we've caught no 1910 01:52:33,870 --> 01:52:37,740 terrorist, but we are tracking your ass. We're assisting in 1911 01:52:37,740 --> 01:52:39,240 investigations. 1912 01:52:39,900 --> 01:52:43,110 But it was like Ron Paul says maybe just to keep us in. Yeah. 1913 01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:46,890 There's a lot of drone news actually, a Freedom of 1914 01:52:46,890 --> 01:52:50,640 Information request to the CAA that's the Civil Aviation 1915 01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:53,970 Authority and get my nation he says revealed revealed 60 1916 01:52:53,970 --> 01:52:58,500 companies have been granted blanket permissions to fly 1917 01:52:58,500 --> 01:53:02,040 unmanned drones within UK civil airspace 1918 01:53:06,390 --> 01:53:07,260 was great. 1919 01:53:08,520 --> 01:53:10,800 So they have three times my skill Jr. and I are thinking 1920 01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:13,980 about starting up a drone, independent drone operation 1921 01:53:13,980 --> 01:53:17,730 ourselves to do traffic analysis, have the drones going 1922 01:53:17,730 --> 01:53:21,660 up and down at and then around a debate bridge and keep them down 1923 01:53:21,660 --> 01:53:24,150 at some low altitude because it'd be the small drones with 1924 01:53:24,150 --> 01:53:26,070 cameras and then the cameras would be streamed to the 1925 01:53:26,070 --> 01:53:28,800 internet and people could check in and because right now the 1926 01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:32,130 competition is cagey.

You 2055 02:01:10,590 --> 02:01:15,690 know, I'll be watching. You know, I will be watching. So you 2056 02:01:15,690 --> 02:01:18,690 don't have to. So Wednesday morning, we woke up 2057 02:01:18,810 --> 02:01:21,990 magna cum laude graduate of Brown University and a member of 2058 02:01:21,990 --> 02:01:24,660 Phi Beta Kappa. Just take a look at her. 2059 02:01:25,469 --> 02:01:27,359 What do you mean? She's a perfect bag, lady. 2060 02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:31,470 Now, maybe. All right, go on. So on. 2061 02:01:31,890 --> 02:01:35,340 Wednesday morning, we wake up now this was after I was up 2062 02:01:35,340 --> 02:01:40,590 until two, you know, watching our prediction come true. And, 2063 02:01:41,130 --> 02:01:43,920 and you know, Austin is beautiful. Here, the sky is 2064 02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:46,650 blue. And what are you doing? 2065 02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:51,120 This is leaning back and reading the New York Times. 2066 02:01:52,260 --> 02:01:55,470 That's so rude. Is this where you're gonna do in board 2067 02:01:55,470 --> 02:02:00,150 meetings of the DCD? This is what I do in board meetings. But 2068 02:02:00,150 --> 02:02:02,730 this is a show. I need you to pay attention. 2069 02:02:03,030 --> 02:02:05,490 Okay, I'm paying attention. So we wake 2070 02:02:05,490 --> 02:02:11,370 up. And Mickey says, oh my goodness, chemtrails. And I look 2071 02:02:11,370 --> 02:02:14,010 out. And sure enough, I've been here five weeks, I have not seen 2072 02:02:14,010 --> 02:02:19,080 a single, persistent jet contrail. And there's one that's 2073 02:02:19,080 --> 02:02:23,850 like, clear as day if you took photos. Well, of course, you 2074 02:02:23,850 --> 02:02:25,740 know, I haven't published them because it's always the same 2075 02:02:25,740 --> 02:02:32,100 pictures but and then I read the Texas Department of State Health 2076 02:02:32,100 --> 02:02:36,750 Services. We'll be dropping vaccines from the air on 2077 02:02:36,750 --> 02:02:43,020 Wednesday. What it is part of the annual effort to protect 2078 02:02:43,020 --> 02:02:46,860 people and livestock from rabies. There'll be dropping 2079 02:02:46,860 --> 02:02:51,270 about 1.8 million doses of the rabies vaccine over the next 2080 02:02:51,270 --> 02:02:56,670 month. The vaccine are enclosed in small packets dipped in fish 2081 02:02:56,700 --> 02:03:02,700 oil and coated with fish meal crumbles. The baits don't pose a 2082 02:03:02,700 --> 02:03:05,700 risk to humans but organisers say you should avoid them. 2083 02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:08,910 Because animals are less likely to eat the bait if a human has 2084 02:03:08,910 --> 02:03:14,550 been messing around with it. So package smack it. They're just 2085 02:03:16,950 --> 02:03:21,990 dropping vaccines from the air. That's crazy. That can't be 2086 02:03:21,990 --> 02:03:22,680 okay. 2087 02:03:23,040 --> 02:03:25,380 Ah, rabies is such a thing. 2088 02:03:26,940 --> 02:03:29,910 No, of course not. Because that will give credence to the whole 2089 02:03:29,910 --> 02:03:34,170 persistent jet contrails thing i To me that's disturbing this 2090 02:03:34,170 --> 02:03:38,730 separate thing. Yeah, sure. Like your Ohio distributes raccoon 2091 02:03:38,730 --> 02:03:42,210 vaccines from the air. So this has been going on nobody's been 2092 02:03:42,210 --> 02:03:44,580 talking about in fact, it took us forever to pick it up. Here 2093 02:03:44,580 --> 02:03:47,700 it is. Here's a picture of it. Beginning last month, Ohio is 2094 02:03:47,700 --> 02:03:53,580 dropping 762,000 of these raccoon rabies vaccines over 14 2095 02:03:53,580 --> 02:03:56,760 counties by Aaron. It's a little green thing. You have a picture 2096 02:03:56,760 --> 02:03:57,210 of yours. 2097 02:03:58,260 --> 02:03:59,820 Not online. But yeah, 2098 02:03:59,910 --> 02:04:03,510 now it gets a little green cube with a gobbly goo in the middle. 2099 02:04:04,980 --> 02:04:07,410 The Ohio Department government has become so concerned about 2100 02:04:07,410 --> 02:04:10,020 the potential exposure resins to rabid animals so they began a 2101 02:04:10,020 --> 02:04:14,820 massive campaign to distribute rabies vaccines by air Hmm. So 2102 02:04:14,820 --> 02:04:19,440 you can show the rabies vaccine is available as of oral vaccine 2103 02:04:19,440 --> 02:04:23,400 is that what they're telling my guests Oh, boy, teen and fish 2104 02:04:23,400 --> 02:04:27,150 meal that attracts raccoons. Each piece of fish meal is about 2105 02:04:27,150 --> 02:04:30,570 the size of a packet of ketchup. Beginning last month the state 2106 02:04:30,570 --> 02:04:33,930 isn't catching catch up. 2107 02:04:34,140 --> 02:04:37,020 It's gonna kill him with high fructose corn syrup, 2108 02:04:37,200 --> 02:04:40,650 apparently, yet to be seen whether the unprecedent AirDrop 2109 02:04:40,650 --> 02:04:42,000 will be successful or not. 2110 02:04:44,040 --> 02:04:45,210 This is just crazy. 2111 02:04:45,810 --> 02:04:48,390 This is weird stories even where it says they're talking about 2112 02:04:48,390 --> 02:04:51,450 Michigan to Michigan has not yet had any confirmed cases of rabid 2113 02:04:51,450 --> 02:04:55,410 raccoons in 2011. But that doesn't mean we're lacking in 2114 02:04:55,410 --> 02:04:59,730 other rabid animals. Like humans. Tally is rabid animals 2115 02:04:59,730 --> 02:05:03,390 include Is 45 bats which won't eat this stuff? I'm sure they're 2116 02:05:03,390 --> 02:05:07,770 not stupid bats are smart one fox and a woodchuck. And one 2117 02:05:07,770 --> 02:05:08,340 dog. 2118 02:05:09,480 --> 02:05:14,550 I'm foaming at the mouth. This is crazy. That's 2119 02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:17,730 pretty funny. This wouldn't have dreamed up this. What do we got 2120 02:05:17,730 --> 02:05:20,520 to figure out who? What companies behind it because they 2121 02:05:20,520 --> 02:05:23,670 sold somebody a bill of goods? Yeah, I'm telling you this 2122 02:05:23,670 --> 02:05:25,260 doesn't even look right. Listen, this 2123 02:05:25,260 --> 02:05:28,890 could be a spin off for the seat for the DCD. We could we could 2124 02:05:28,890 --> 02:05:32,100 drop a vaccine packets from our drones. Yeah. 2125 02:05:33,510 --> 02:05:36,930 We have to get bigger drones for that. I think you need big yet 2126 02:05:36,930 --> 02:05:40,350 at least a big, you know, see 140 or something and throw this 2127 02:05:40,350 --> 02:05:41,400 crap out the back. 2128 02:05:43,920 --> 02:05:47,610 I do want to say a few things about euro land, since it's kind 2129 02:05:47,610 --> 02:05:51,270 of gone quiet, but things are shuffling things are moving. 2130 02:05:52,740 --> 02:05:57,480 Looks like Goldman Sachs is making some moves. You know, the 2131 02:05:57,540 --> 02:06:01,380 there were three new members to be appointed to the European 2132 02:06:01,380 --> 02:06:05,340 Central Bank Board. And of course, the Germans wanted to 2133 02:06:05,340 --> 02:06:06,240 German in there. 2134 02:06:07,200 --> 02:06:09,720 Now so we should have a German in there. Well, 2135 02:06:09,810 --> 02:06:15,480 here's who got appointed. So, so far, they've been French German 2136 02:06:15,480 --> 02:06:22,020 and Belgian. Draghi, that's a super mario has replaced the two 2137 02:06:22,020 --> 02:06:27,180 Germans with one which is pissing off the Germans to no 2138 02:06:27,180 --> 02:06:31,800 end. So they got Juergen Stark out and they put in the Belgian 2139 02:06:31,950 --> 02:06:41,580 Peter prot PR a et who whose campaign was supported by Draghi 2140 02:06:41,670 --> 02:06:47,370 consistently. So there's some moves there to shut the Germans 2141 02:06:47,370 --> 02:06:54,420 up to think is just of note. Ireland and Portugal have gone 2142 02:06:54,420 --> 02:07:00,840 to the E FF SF now to be the ESM which is that new European 2143 02:07:00,840 --> 02:07:07,200 Stability, movement, whatever management, which is the one 2144 02:07:07,200 --> 02:07:10,920 that is open ended, and everyone has to contribute to they have 2145 02:07:11,490 --> 02:07:18,630 taken 3 billion euros to keep afloat. And in Germany, just 2146 02:07:18,630 --> 02:07:23,760 like we talked about in Greece, now, everywhere in Germany is 2147 02:07:23,760 --> 02:07:26,730 cropping up, you can now also pay this Deutschmarks. 2148 02:07:27,269 --> 02:07:31,739 And there's a huge rumour going around the internet. And it's 2149 02:07:31,739 --> 02:07:35,249 been my son knows about it. And it actually came up by citing a 2150 02:07:35,249 --> 02:07:39,929 comment on the Economist. I'll read from the comment there 2151 02:07:39,929 --> 02:07:43,769 actually unsubstantiated rumours that the German central bank is 2152 02:07:43,769 --> 02:07:48,719 actually printing a new currency as a precautionary measure. 2153 02:07:48,750 --> 02:07:50,640 Yeah, this has been this has been a rumour for a couple 2154 02:07:50,640 --> 02:07:52,110 months, actually. Yeah, 2155 02:07:52,140 --> 02:07:55,530 it started in November. I don't know how much credence I can 2156 02:07:55,530 --> 02:07:59,100 give that. They're supposedly doing it from a bank note 2157 02:07:59,100 --> 02:08:02,760 company in the UK. They give it seems to me that someone would 2158 02:08:02,760 --> 02:08:04,200 have leaked one of these bills, 2159 02:08:04,740 --> 02:08:08,310 though. Watch them crop up Photoshop jobs everywhere. 2160 02:08:08,520 --> 02:08:09,420 Well, yeah. 2161 02:08:10,110 --> 02:08:12,720 Now this other thing that I found interesting, which is I 2162 02:08:12,720 --> 02:08:15,870 think Gitmo nation, lowlands will be one of the first to 2163 02:08:15,900 --> 02:08:22,650 implement this is the CEPA. S EP a the single euro payments area? 2164 02:08:22,710 --> 02:08:26,220 Have you been following this? Yeah, a little bit to the single 2165 02:08:26,220 --> 02:08:31,680 euro payments area. The idea is that you can now transfer it's 2166 02:08:31,680 --> 02:08:34,170 you know, it's basically we have what do we have i band and stuff 2167 02:08:34,170 --> 02:08:36,960 like that there's all these different networks, what's the 2168 02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:43,230 other one that we use here? Can't remember? Well, there's 2169 02:08:43,230 --> 02:08:46,380 all these ways of transferring money. So it's basically it's a 2170 02:08:46,380 --> 02:08:49,170 computer network, a computer system, which all of the banks 2171 02:08:49,170 --> 02:08:51,240 and vendors and the galing star, 2172 02:08:51,720 --> 02:08:55,770 sorry, like star, if you look on the back of your debit card or 2173 02:08:55,770 --> 02:08:58,110 your credit card, it has a bunch of the networks on it, right? 2174 02:08:58,140 --> 02:09:02,520 So CEPA will enable and this is how it's being sold, of course 2175 02:09:02,520 --> 02:09:07,230 will enable Europeans to transfer money to anyone in any 2176 02:09:07,230 --> 02:09:12,210 euro area. Without an additional fee, it'll still have your 2177 02:09:12,210 --> 02:09:15,720 regular bank fee. In fact, one of the stipulations is, the fee 2178 02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:18,930 cannot be more than it is today. But it's all going to run 2179 02:09:18,930 --> 02:09:23,820 through the central command. And Central Command, of course, will 2180 02:09:23,820 --> 02:09:27,540 know exactly what you're doing because now the mothership owns 2181 02:09:27,540 --> 02:09:32,010 the network. But what I found interesting is an undiscussed 2182 02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:37,920 point, because what the this is being introduced February 1 In 2183 02:09:37,950 --> 02:09:40,080 gateway nation lowlands, everyone's going to be put pay 2184 02:09:40,080 --> 02:09:44,400 using these single euro payments area network. But what is 2185 02:09:45,480 --> 02:09:48,090 there's a lot there a lot of consumers who are worried about 2186 02:09:48,090 --> 02:09:53,130 this so called direct debit portion of the network. And the 2187 02:09:53,130 --> 02:09:59,400 direct debit portion enables entities banks, or in fact 2188 02:09:59,400 --> 02:10:07,080 government To direct debit your account. IE, we don't worry 2189 02:10:07,080 --> 02:10:10,320 about your taxes, we'll just take that right, we'll just suck 2190 02:10:10,320 --> 02:10:14,790 it right out of your bank account. And this is really 2191 02:10:14,790 --> 02:10:17,370 being suppressed this information, because of course, 2192 02:10:18,210 --> 02:10:21,570 you know, the fact that you're now connected to the government 2193 02:10:21,570 --> 02:10:24,630 who can now suck the money out of your account, because you're 2194 02:10:24,630 --> 02:10:27,570 essentially going to have to sign a direct debit agreement 2195 02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:32,370 with your government, local or Brussels, or both. And your 2196 02:10:32,370 --> 02:10:35,790 taxes will be taken care of automatically. No worries, don't 2197 02:10:35,790 --> 02:10:37,530 worry. But we'll do all of that for 2198 02:10:37,530 --> 02:10:40,980 you make it a good thing that we've said, look, here's how 2199 02:10:40,980 --> 02:10:43,110 it's going to work. Normally, you're paying your taxes, you go 2200 02:10:43,110 --> 02:10:45,090 through all this process, you're probably screwing up the tax, 2201 02:10:45,090 --> 02:10:48,930 you're paying too much. Do you know that aspect of calculation 2202 02:10:48,930 --> 02:10:51,510 for you we'll make sure that you get through it? That is right. 2203 02:10:52,410 --> 02:10:57,240 The advertising campaign for a long time for the Dutch Internal 2204 02:10:57,240 --> 02:11:01,230 Revenue Service, who are doing everything online now has been a 2205 02:11:01,260 --> 02:11:05,100 rough translation. We can't make it more fun. We can make it 2206 02:11:05,100 --> 02:11:14,970 easier. Bastards. And boo hoo, hoo, hello. Hello, check. 2207 02:11:15,240 --> 02:11:24,330 Whoa, yeah, yeah, you're fine. I'm not what happened to you, 2208 02:11:24,330 --> 02:11:29,010 hello. Fine. Now I blew up. What you mean, you blew up, I blew 2209 02:11:29,010 --> 02:11:32,490 up. You had to do the did the recording stop? 2210 02:11:32,519 --> 02:11:35,189 No, no, no, my microphone just turned off for some reason. 2211 02:11:35,219 --> 02:11:39,179 Anyway. Whoo hoo. To Mother Jones. Did you see this hit 2212 02:11:39,179 --> 02:11:41,219 piece that they published on Ron Paul? 2213 02:11:42,540 --> 02:11:45,030 I missed it. Oh, my God, actually, I've been having 2214 02:11:45,030 --> 02:11:48,750 trouble watching any of the hit jobs. There was I was watching 2215 02:11:48,750 --> 02:11:52,230 something with Chris Wallace. Going after Ron Paul for some 2216 02:11:52,230 --> 02:11:55,020 quotes in a book he wrote in 1980. And the quotes are taken 2217 02:11:55,020 --> 02:11:58,320 out of context. And they're just as nitpick. And I just can't 2218 02:11:58,320 --> 02:12:01,200 watch this stuff anymore. It's just like, it's, it's 2219 02:12:01,200 --> 02:12:04,890 embarrassing. And it's so annoying that it's like, you 2220 02:12:04,890 --> 02:12:07,110 know, I want you to listen to what the guy has to say. And, 2221 02:12:07,650 --> 02:12:11,910 you know, maybe look into the net defence authorization bill 2222 02:12:11,910 --> 02:12:14,940 rather than, you know, pounding Ron Paul for something that he 2223 02:12:14,940 --> 02:12:16,500 wrote in a book 20 years ago. 2224 02:12:17,880 --> 02:12:20,550 The title of the article and Mother Jones written by Kevin 2225 02:12:20,550 --> 02:12:28,110 drum, Kevin drone, Kevin drum. Oh, crackpots do not make good 2226 02:12:28,110 --> 02:12:31,890 messengers. You can imagine this caught my eye. 2227 02:12:32,490 --> 02:12:35,460 Yeah. So that I was about you. 2228 02:12:35,490 --> 02:12:39,300 Here it is. So then Ron Paul, should we left these be happy 2229 02:12:39,300 --> 02:12:43,650 he's in the presidential race, giving non interventionism voice 2230 02:12:43,680 --> 02:12:47,100 even if he has other beliefs, we find less agreeable. Should we 2231 02:12:47,100 --> 02:12:50,160 be happy that his non mainstream positions are finally getting a 2232 02:12:50,160 --> 02:12:53,040 public hearing? This is depressingly common view. For 2233 02:12:53,040 --> 02:12:57,630 example, can we talk? Ron Paul is not a charming oddball with a 2234 02:12:57,630 --> 02:13:01,260 few peculiar notions. He's not merely out of the mainstream, 2235 02:13:01,410 --> 02:13:05,280 Ron Paul is a full bore crank. In fact, he's practically the 2236 02:13:05,280 --> 02:13:08,730 dictionary definition of crank. A person who has a single 2237 02:13:08,730 --> 02:13:11,700 obsessive all encompassing idea for how the world should work 2238 02:13:11,700 --> 02:13:14,880 and is utterly blinded to the value of any competing ideas or 2239 02:13:14,880 --> 02:13:19,620 competing interests. Wow, started off with a dictionary 2240 02:13:19,620 --> 02:13:23,220 definition is pretty harsh. And it just goes on and on. It's 2241 02:13:23,220 --> 02:13:27,690 like, this isn't the biography of a person who was who with one 2242 02:13:27,690 --> 02:13:31,380 or two unusual hobby horses. It's not something you could 2243 02:13:31,380 --> 02:13:35,040 pretend doesn't matter. This is great, a crank curry, and all by 2244 02:13:35,040 --> 02:13:38,100 itself as a reason enough to want nothing to do with Ron 2245 02:13:38,100 --> 02:13:42,060 Paul. But of course, that's not all. As we've all known for the 2246 02:13:42,060 --> 02:13:45,480 past four years, you can layer on top of this, Paul's now 2247 02:13:45,510 --> 02:13:48,840 infamous newsletters in which he condoned a political strategy 2248 02:13:48,840 --> 02:13:51,750 consistently designed to appeal to the worst strains of American 2249 02:13:51,750 --> 02:13:56,070 homophobia, racial paranoia, militia hucksterism and New 2250 02:13:56,070 --> 02:13:59,640 World Order fear mongering. And on top of that, you can layer on 2251 02:13:59,640 --> 02:14:02,730 the fact that Paul is plainly lying about these newsletters 2252 02:14:02,730 --> 02:14:06,090 and his role in them. And it just goes on and on and on. 2253 02:14:06,960 --> 02:14:08,910 Mother Jones should be ashamed, 2254 02:14:09,450 --> 02:14:11,730 plainly lying so that he has proof of this. 2255 02:14:12,210 --> 02:14:14,820 He's a dick. Oh, this guy he doesn't mind. Does he have 2256 02:14:14,820 --> 02:14:19,410 proof? Let me see. Now he doesn't have proof. Even if 2257 02:14:19,410 --> 02:14:21,390 you're a hardcore non interventionist yourself, you 2258 02:14:21,390 --> 02:14:24,180 probably think World War Two was a war worth fighting, but not 2259 02:14:24,180 --> 02:14:25,320 Ron Paul. 2260 02:14:29,340 --> 02:14:32,040 It's not gonna lose some background on the guy According 2261 02:14:32,040 --> 02:14:37,980 to Kevin drum. Yeah, he's a cat blogger known for pioneering the 2262 02:14:37,980 --> 02:14:42,660 trend of good blogging about his cat. Yeah, seriously. 2263 02:14:42,780 --> 02:14:44,370 He's a cat blogger. 2264 02:14:44,460 --> 02:14:48,060 Yeah, he's major cat blogger. He's also big into Peak Oil 2265 02:14:48,060 --> 02:14:55,200 theory is about liberal blog. Calpine is a big liberal. He 2266 02:14:55,230 --> 02:14:57,240 apparently has intellectual heroes who are Franklin 2267 02:14:57,240 --> 02:15:01,230 Roosevelt major intellectual, Isaac Newton John Maynard 2268 02:15:01,230 --> 02:15:04,260 Keynes, Edward R. Murrow another, you know, intellectual 2269 02:15:04,980 --> 02:15:08,460 television performer and Charles Darwin. He also considers Ben 2270 02:15:08,460 --> 02:15:14,790 Franklin an all time favourite political hero. He was he was 2271 02:15:14,790 --> 02:15:18,300 with Cofax image projects for night products for nine years as 2272 02:15:18,300 --> 02:15:22,860 the VP of marketing. He's a he's a pussy blogger is what I say. 2273 02:15:22,860 --> 02:15:25,740 And he's a cat blogger. And the drum originally supported the 2274 02:15:25,740 --> 02:15:29,310 2003 Iraq War. So I mean, this guy, 2275 02:15:29,909 --> 02:15:34,259 no, he's a douche bag. Alright, so as Bob Schieffer by the way, 2276 02:15:34,259 --> 02:15:36,389 here's a little opening salvo Scheepers tariff, here's a 2277 02:15:36,389 --> 02:15:38,549 little salvo he fired at Rand Paul, 2278 02:15:39,060 --> 02:15:42,690 let me ask you this. I mean, your father is a very polite and 2279 02:15:42,690 --> 02:15:47,670 decent man. He's He's very nice to deal with. Everybody seems to 2280 02:15:47,670 --> 02:15:52,170 like him. But I don't know a single impartial observer who 2281 02:15:52,170 --> 02:15:56,010 thinks that he could wind up getting the nomination, let 2282 02:15:56,010 --> 02:16:00,210 alone winning in a general election. Does he think he could 2283 02:16:00,210 --> 02:16:00,630 win? 2284 02:16:01,950 --> 02:16:06,990 He doesn't know a single single solitary sciences, single 2285 02:16:07,920 --> 02:16:13,680 sciences. Everybody agrees there's not a single impartial 2286 02:16:13,680 --> 02:16:17,160 observer person, not one single one. 2287 02:16:18,480 --> 02:16:20,970 Now, he's probably been hanging out with Al Gore too much. I was 2288 02:16:20,970 --> 02:16:25,890 switching back and forth. I was watching the coverage. So we had 2289 02:16:26,820 --> 02:16:34,950 CNN you had MSNBC with Rocco and who gave up after like one 2290 02:16:34,950 --> 02:16:36,990 o'clock she just went home and then brought the guy with the 2291 02:16:36,990 --> 02:16:44,730 glasses in her protege. We had Fox and we also had current and 2292 02:16:44,730 --> 02:16:48,240 current TV had chunk on what's his name, chunk, chunk, chunk. 2293 02:16:48,840 --> 02:16:53,160 Oh, that guy chunk, chunk. chunk. His name is and 2294 02:16:53,310 --> 02:16:57,390 interesting. I guess the the honeymoon is over for what's his 2295 02:16:57,390 --> 02:16:57,720 name? 2296 02:16:58,920 --> 02:17:01,920 Oberman Oh, yeah, there's a big new front page of the business 2297 02:17:01,920 --> 02:17:05,160 day New York Times this morning. Oh, Berman in a clash at new 2298 02:17:05,160 --> 02:17:05,910 job? Oh, 2299 02:17:05,910 --> 02:17:08,970 well, he got kicked out because it Olbermann was not there to 2300 02:17:08,970 --> 02:17:12,240 analyse the caucus. instead? 2301 02:17:13,350 --> 02:17:15,690 Owner station owner Al Gore 2302 02:17:16,170 --> 02:17:22,380 was sitting down. And would you like to hear his views on Ron 2303 02:17:22,380 --> 02:17:22,980 Paul? Oh, I'd 2304 02:17:22,980 --> 02:17:30,060 love to. I mean, every time we talked about, well, you know, he 2305 02:17:30,060 --> 02:17:38,460 has a ceiling except in fantasy land. He had a ceiling. Yeah. He 2306 02:17:38,460 --> 02:17:42,270 does not have a ceiling and fantasy. But in the real world. 2307 02:17:42,420 --> 02:17:47,010 Look, when people take a look at his actual positions when 2308 02:17:47,010 --> 02:17:53,160 Republicans take a look at his actual positions. I mean, cut is 2309 02:17:53,160 --> 02:17:56,790 a style thing. The fact that no, I think there's an enormous 2310 02:17:56,790 --> 02:18:00,300 amount of frustration, I think that you saw from different 2311 02:18:00,300 --> 02:18:04,650 points on the spectrum, Occupy Wall Street, the Tea Party, on 2312 02:18:04,650 --> 02:18:08,130 the right, a lot of people getting very frustrated saying, 2313 02:18:08,130 --> 02:18:12,270 Look, this system is not working. The Congress has not a 2314 02:18:12,270 --> 02:18:17,100 9% approval rating, you know, as many people have noted, well, 2315 02:18:17,100 --> 02:18:21,000 what are the other 91% thinking? I mean, what are those 9% 2316 02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:25,440 thinking? So that all is part of a general attitude that, you 2317 02:18:25,440 --> 02:18:29,730 know, let's just play 52 Card pickup, let's just up in things 2318 02:18:29,730 --> 02:18:32,820 and do something radically different. And I think that he 2319 02:18:32,820 --> 02:18:37,560 does culturally, psychologically tap into that, but at some point 2320 02:18:37,560 --> 02:18:42,990 when people, you know, look seriously at what his positions 2321 02:18:42,990 --> 02:18:47,220 are, I mean, getting rid of the Federal Reserve. I mean, look, 2322 02:18:47,220 --> 02:18:50,700 the wars are enormously unpopular, but bringing all 2323 02:18:50,700 --> 02:18:56,100 Americans no matter what the dangerous situations are. 2324 02:19:01,440 --> 02:19:04,620 Yeah, go screw them as soon as you douche. 2325 02:19:07,170 --> 02:19:11,760 This is interesting. I didn't realise that David Borman had 2326 02:19:11,760 --> 02:19:16,530 taken over the operations. There was David David Borman was the 2327 02:19:16,530 --> 02:19:21,720 guy who was a consultant. I know him he's like, Oh, really? I am 2328 02:19:21,720 --> 02:19:22,260 in his house. 2329 02:19:22,440 --> 02:19:28,020 Can we get a show there? I don't know. Let's take John Corman 2330 02:19:28,020 --> 02:19:32,340 was coming after. He was the A was at Tech TV for a while and 2331 02:19:32,430 --> 02:19:34,350 they brought me as a consultant and then he 2332 02:19:35,879 --> 02:19:38,189 success story. You won't know 2333 02:19:38,190 --> 02:19:41,430 he was at MSNBC. He's the one I think who brought him Soledad 2334 02:19:41,430 --> 02:19:44,520 O'Brien into the scheme of things. And then he was 2335 02:19:44,520 --> 02:19:51,030 attacked. Then he went he became the head of CNN. I don't know 2336 02:19:51,030 --> 02:19:53,340 what happened to him until I just read this article that he's 2337 02:19:53,370 --> 02:19:57,900 now running current, which and then the ownership is 2338 02:19:57,900 --> 02:20:00,780 interesting. Apparently Al Gore is like it I didn't know this 2339 02:20:00,780 --> 02:20:06,900 either, which is Al Gore. The channel which is privately held 2340 02:20:06,900 --> 02:20:13,170 by Al Gore and others, and under Perkins is estimated to have 2341 02:20:13,170 --> 02:20:17,010 made about 115 million in revenue in 2011. According to 2342 02:20:17,010 --> 02:20:21,570 research from SNL Kagan with a cash flow margin of 22.7%, so 2343 02:20:21,570 --> 02:20:26,010 they're making money. This is much more MSNBC, a unit of NBC 2344 02:20:26,010 --> 02:20:29,730 Universal is made of made 400 million in revenue with a cash 2345 02:20:29,730 --> 02:20:33,660 flow margin of 45%. Well, it's much bigger. Well, if 2346 02:20:33,660 --> 02:20:36,480 you look also, no, MSNBC is twice as big. I was gonna say, 2347 02:20:36,690 --> 02:20:38,700 Yes, sorry, I'm not reading it. Right. Well, they make the money 2348 02:20:38,700 --> 02:20:42,300 from cable subs, the cable companies, they bought a company 2349 02:20:42,300 --> 02:20:44,430 that had all these cable subs. So that's how they make their 2350 02:20:44,430 --> 02:20:47,940 main money. And the rest of is by firing Olbermann, because you 2351 02:20:47,940 --> 02:20:51,360 know, they can't even afford his $200,000 a year and 2352 02:20:51,390 --> 02:20:53,760 whatever they were paying over millions besides you know, he 2353 02:20:53,760 --> 02:20:57,090 apparently wanted to do the election coverage. But they said 2354 02:20:57,090 --> 02:20:59,580 no, you didn't did for it, because we're gonna get a long 2355 02:20:59,580 --> 02:21:02,610 time ago. And so he got into a beef because they wouldn't let 2356 02:21:02,610 --> 02:21:05,790 him on the election coverage the last minute and right, which 2357 02:21:05,790 --> 02:21:07,800 they should have been able to do, it seems to me court they 2358 02:21:07,800 --> 02:21:10,920 had some other Congresswoman on I think, all right, because 2359 02:21:10,920 --> 02:21:11,730 whatever the case 2360 02:21:11,910 --> 02:21:14,730 was, was I've still I can't imagine they've new and $110 2361 02:21:14,730 --> 02:21:15,060 million, 2362 02:21:15,600 --> 02:21:18,240 they haven't, but they have chunker anchoring the thing 2363 02:21:18,240 --> 02:21:21,840 that's no good. And they were doing it on the chunk set. The 2364 02:21:21,840 --> 02:21:24,810 demon had like a flat and they had CNN on the monitors in the 2365 02:21:24,810 --> 02:21:28,260 background that's talking about a low grade operation that's 2366 02:21:28,260 --> 02:21:34,770 like us. Worse. Now, not much worse, much 2367 02:21:34,950 --> 02:21:36,600 of the New York Times in the background. 2368 02:21:37,500 --> 02:21:40,170 Alright, so the only other thing that's interesting is going on 2369 02:21:40,170 --> 02:21:42,960 that we're kind of tracking is in the category of weak hand 2370 02:21:42,960 --> 02:21:49,590 weight. where President Obama has gone ahead just said, you 2371 02:21:49,590 --> 02:21:52,590 know, screw Congress, screw the Senate. I don't care about these 2372 02:21:52,590 --> 02:21:55,950 guys. I don't need Senate senatorial approval to appoint 2373 02:21:55,950 --> 02:22:00,510 my my terrorist guys, the Head of Financial Consumer Affairs. 2374 02:22:00,690 --> 02:22:04,650 I'm just appointing him. And this is creating quite a hubbub. 2375 02:22:05,250 --> 02:22:06,120 You follow this? 2376 02:22:06,960 --> 02:22:09,300 No, I haven't. Give me the briefing. Okay. So 2377 02:22:09,330 --> 02:22:14,610 remember the guy that the President pushed forward to run 2378 02:22:14,640 --> 02:22:17,430 the consumer so they pushed me Yeah, right. Did 2379 02:22:17,430 --> 02:22:20,010 he did put him through at the end the dead of night? Yeah. So 2380 02:22:20,010 --> 02:22:22,770 they pushed on a technicality. And by the way, the question 2381 02:22:22,770 --> 02:22:25,470 remains in my mind is why don't they just do everything like 2382 02:22:25,470 --> 02:22:25,860 this? Well, 2383 02:22:25,860 --> 02:22:29,670 he's going to here's a question from this is scripted by the 2384 02:22:29,670 --> 02:22:32,640 way, this is spokes whole carnies little show and he has 2385 02:22:32,640 --> 02:22:36,390 the woman from our I recognise her the old BAP I forget her 2386 02:22:36,390 --> 02:22:38,100 name, scripted question. We 2387 02:22:38,100 --> 02:22:38,910 can't wait. 2388 02:22:43,410 --> 02:22:45,930 Sorry, that was the jingle. Here's the scripted question. 2389 02:22:46,020 --> 02:22:49,680 You know, could you one domestic one international claims on the 2390 02:22:49,680 --> 02:22:53,340 domestic question. Could you give us a little bit more 2391 02:22:53,340 --> 02:22:57,180 clarity on this with or without Congress? Because it's being 2392 02:22:57,180 --> 02:23:01,200 interpreted by some Gingrich, for example, is virtually 2393 02:23:01,200 --> 02:23:05,160 unmonitored. The president says you can't work with Congress. 2394 02:23:05,190 --> 02:23:10,050 I'll do it myself. And there's a lot of criticism credit, if you 2395 02:23:10,050 --> 02:23:14,130 can explain exactly, you know, what the idea of that is, and 2396 02:23:14,130 --> 02:23:17,070 whether it could backfire whether you would look as if he 2397 02:23:17,070 --> 02:23:20,070 is trying to just ignore Congress and then you can get 2398 02:23:20,100 --> 02:23:20,490 into the 2399 02:23:20,789 --> 02:23:22,649 sugar. I appreciate the question. I 2400 02:23:22,650 --> 02:23:25,200 appreciate the question, because we agreed you would ask it so I 2401 02:23:25,200 --> 02:23:29,130 could bring this up. So what happened is that there is a 2402 02:23:29,130 --> 02:23:32,730 technicality that and by the way, this is the guy who wrote 2403 02:23:32,730 --> 02:23:36,780 the book on financial terrorism that find that economics bad 2404 02:23:36,780 --> 02:23:39,810 economics leads to Lone Wolf terrorists. Remember, we 2405 02:23:39,810 --> 02:23:43,080 discussed the his book. Oh, yeah. In detail. Yeah. This is a 2406 02:23:43,080 --> 02:23:47,400 lone wolf terrorists guy. And so he's now been put in and the and 2407 02:23:47,400 --> 02:23:49,320 of course the Senate's having nothing to do they don't want 2408 02:23:49,320 --> 02:23:54,600 this guy or they whatever. But the technicality is, apparently 2409 02:23:54,600 --> 02:24:00,660 the president can evoke, invoke, evoke his executive invoke his 2410 02:24:00,720 --> 02:24:05,730 executive power. If the Senate is in recess, and the Senate is 2411 02:24:05,730 --> 02:24:08,550 technically not in recess, because every single day I watch 2412 02:24:08,550 --> 02:24:11,760 it. They go said they do the Pledge of Allegiance. I say it. 2413 02:24:12,180 --> 02:24:15,780 Well, we doing do nothing bump bump. See you tomorrow by two, 2414 02:24:15,780 --> 02:24:18,060 they're technically still in recess, which of course, is a 2415 02:24:18,060 --> 02:24:21,630 trick not in recess. I mean, technically not in recess, even 2416 02:24:21,630 --> 02:24:24,090 though they are because it was, you know, partying and out in 2417 02:24:24,120 --> 02:24:27,810 St. Barts, whatever. So the President says, you know, that's 2418 02:24:27,810 --> 02:24:31,920 just a technical trick. I'm making this guy the head of 2419 02:24:31,920 --> 02:24:34,800 Consumer Affairs, because he's a lone wolf terrorist watch guy, 2420 02:24:34,800 --> 02:24:37,740 and we've got to have that guy in there. So here's Carney 2421 02:24:37,740 --> 02:24:38,400 explaining it, 2422 02:24:39,210 --> 02:24:42,030 that we have made clear. And the President's made clear, for a 2423 02:24:42,030 --> 02:24:47,220 long time now that he will do whatever he can to help the 2424 02:24:47,220 --> 02:24:49,890 economy to help it grow to help create jobs to protect the 2425 02:24:49,890 --> 02:24:53,910 middle class. And when Congress refuses to act when Republicans 2426 02:24:55,650 --> 02:24:58,920 choose the path of obstruction rather than cooperation, then 2427 02:24:58,920 --> 02:25:01,620 the President's not going to sit There's gridlock in Washington 2428 02:25:01,620 --> 02:25:04,800 is not an excuse for inaction. He's going to take the actions 2429 02:25:04,800 --> 02:25:08,370 that he can take using his executive authority to help the 2430 02:25:08,370 --> 02:25:13,020 cause here to help the cause. Americans deal with this 2431 02:25:13,080 --> 02:25:16,140 challenging economy and they can be small, medium or large 2432 02:25:16,140 --> 02:25:18,870 actions and they don't have to be just executive authority 2433 02:25:18,870 --> 02:25:20,700 actions they can be things that we can do working with the 2434 02:25:20,700 --> 02:25:25,110 private sector. So you know, it's it's he'll pursue all 2435 02:25:25,110 --> 02:25:25,650 tracks. 2436 02:25:25,680 --> 02:25:30,840 That's right. Hail the King. I don't think the I don't think 2437 02:25:30,840 --> 02:25:33,060 people are gonna take this line down. I don't think they liked 2438 02:25:33,060 --> 02:25:34,200 this that they did this. 2439 02:25:35,400 --> 02:25:38,040 Well, if they're not, technically it's in recess, 2440 02:25:38,040 --> 02:25:42,090 which is what you claim, then they can't he can't do it. It's 2441 02:25:42,090 --> 02:25:43,290 illegal. So it'll come 2442 02:25:43,290 --> 02:25:48,510 down to a showdown showdown at the OK Corral. And that's right 2443 02:25:48,510 --> 02:25:51,600 soon to be broadcast live on the DC D drone network. 2444 02:25:51,690 --> 02:25:54,120 I don't see how Congress can do much about it. I mean, if he 2445 02:25:54,120 --> 02:25:56,790 just, I mean, it's just like, well, let me change his name to 2446 02:25:56,790 --> 02:26:01,770 Tsar and he's done. Because they don't have to prove that that's 2447 02:26:01,770 --> 02:26:03,120 where you can name all these czars is 2448 02:26:03,420 --> 02:26:07,230 Armenia you can put an executive order out that from now on you 2449 02:26:07,230 --> 02:26:10,200 show address me and the First Lady as your Excellency. 2450 02:26:12,300 --> 02:26:17,820 Yeah, I could do that. I think he should get it over with all 2451 02:26:17,820 --> 02:26:20,640 right. Hair Obama, please consider 2452 02:26:20,640 --> 02:26:24,780 us for the coming show on Sunday donating his loving and we need 2453 02:26:24,780 --> 02:26:28,380 as much love as we can get to we can get some of our other 2454 02:26:28,380 --> 02:26:32,280 initiatives off of the ground.
