[Video] Open Mic @Pentagon Press Room "See This Room, 2/3s' of us Laid-Off With Ron Paul"

[Chainspell]

They are worried about being laid off........ maybe one of them should worry about being fired today? LOL

seriously they're afraid of losing their jobs? I dont get it...

Same here, read the transcripts and while I see that its cool to hear that 2/3rds of the media would be fired I don't get the overall message of what this proves, disproves, etc....

 

[Miss Annie]

seriously they're afraid of losing their jobs? I dont get it...

The thing I find the most disturbing is that they are more worried about their jobs than the future of their own country. It's really mindboggling to me. Surely being journalists, they have more of a clue than your average sleepy sheep as to where we are with this economy and where it's going if Ron Paul is NOT elected. Intense selfishness or intense stupidity?

 

[Miss Annie]

Really though, my question is why do they think they would be laid off with Ron Paul as president? Not as much corruption to NOT report? LOL

 

[affa]

GOT IT. Holy junk.

Male Reporter (1?): - we're not defeating an adversary...
Female Reporter 1- yea. that's what... (interrupted)
Male Reporter 1 - this is a secondary war...
Female Reporter 1- that's what they can do... they can do one and a half wars
Male Reporter 1 - so this is a one and a half (pause) but in fact we've shown, we've proved, over the past, we proved over the last ten years as I've said repeatedly that we can only do one at a time. We can't fight [twelve? two?] if we want to win this.
Male Reporter 2 - this is all [inaudible] good [run for the company?]. When Ron Paul becomes President [interrupted by laughter]
Male Reporter 1 - See this room - two thirds of us laid off when Ron Paul becomes president [laughter]
Male Reporter ? - Someone emailed me [this morning?] saying that the Two War Doctrine hasn't been valid since before Obama was born.
Woman Reporter - Has it ever been valid?
Male Reporter ? - Well, World War 2, we fought two wars. (pause) that's where it comes from, right? (pause/inaudible) But that's like a fully mobilized country with everybody drafted.
Female Reporter [inaudible]
....

In my opinion, this discussion is about going to war with Iran. The reporters don't think two wars at the same time is a good idea. This is therefore good for Ron Paul, who is the only candidate opposed to the wars. They laugh at him, anyway. Then go on to discuss that the only way two wars was possible during WWII was 'full mobilization'. They don't necessarily sound 'for' this, but rather, concerned that we can't manage two wars.
This is HUGE.

EDITED TO ADD: minor, but immediately after male reporter says 'well, world war 2, we fought two wars' the woman interjects 'right. ok.'

+rep and great work

If that is indeed the content of the conversation, one could presume that they were talking about the prospect of going to war with Iran while still fighting in Afghanistan.

NEED help with the critical sentence at 1:35

It is something like, BUT NOT:
Reporter: This is all good run with the companies if Ron Paul becomes President.
it may be something like 'This has been a good run' (implying Ron Paul will end it). or something else entirely.

The discussion is clearly talking about Ron Paul ending the wars. But what is this sentence? Is it 'company' or 'companies'?

[MsDoodahs]

WOW this thread has exploded and gotten really long.

Have we identified the specific reporters?

Even just who was present near the mic?

 

[DonovanJames]

Already a massive thread for this

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

I have the original recorded piece on my DirecTV DVR, I'm piping this through a $5K POLK/Yamaha system

I specifically hear a secondary male reporter say, "...Ron Paul Group..."

Any audio Engineers with the gear to do some CSI work on this Pentagon bunch? Thanx to those working on this... anyone with connections over at Union Station locale of C-SPAN HQ?

Can't watch video right now. Can we get an update on the transcript?

I will try this and run it though a higher quality audiophile DAC.

My version of the initial interaction is quite different from the transcript by amonosro. This is what I got:

Male Reporter (1?): - we're not defeating an adversary...
Female Reporter 1- yea. that's what... (interrupted)
Male Reporter 1 - this is a secondary war...
Female Reporter 1- that's what they can do... they can do one and a half wars
Male Reporter 1 - so this is a one and a half (pause) but in fact we've shown, we've proved, over the past, we proved over the last ten years as I've said repeatedly that we can only do one at a time. We can't fight [twelve? two?] if we want to win this.
Male Reporter 2 - this is all [inaudible] good [run for the company?]. When Ron Paul becomes President [interrupted by laughter]
Male Reporter 1 - See this room - two thirds of us laid off when Ron Paul becomes president.


They then go back to the one war vs. two war argument, and i need to get the exact wording down, but i think one is saying we did multiple fronts during WWII, but someone else points out that's only because we were 'fully mobilized'.

In my humble opinion, these people are discussing the coming Iran War. I think the going argument was that more than one war is dangerous and unsustainable, and that this is good for Ron Paul, since he is the only one (including Obama) that would avoid that and doesn't want to go to war with Iran. Then someone tries to bring up WWII, but is told that we were only capable of that because we were 'fully mobilized'.

This transcript NEEDS to get ironed out. It's big.

HOLY JUNK --
I just figured out the next bit:
'the two war doctrine hasn't been valid since before Obama was born"...

This is EXACTLY what they are discussing. Will finish this pronto.

 

[sailingaway]

I'm also not sure hammering on people being laid off if Ron makes president is to our benefit.

Implying that this has been a good run for the Military Industrial Complex?

Male Reporter (1?): - Well we we’re just discussing… we did a really close read of this and I thought: “Oh, they’re gonna say you’re defeated and [inaudible] Only the few need [inaudible] we're not defeating an adversary...
Female Reporter 1- yea. that's what... (interrupted)
Male Reporter 1 - this is a secondary war...
Female Reporter 1- that's what they can do... they can do one and a half wars

Male Reporter 2 - this is all [inaudible] good [run for the company?]. When Ron Paul becomes President [interrupted by laughter]
Male Reporter 1 – Oh, man. See this room - two thirds of us laid off when Ron Paul becomes president.
Male Reporter 3 - Someone emailed me [this morning?] saying that the Two War Doctrine hasn't been valid since before Obama was born.
Female Reporter 1 - Has it ever been valid?
Male Reporter 2 - Well, World War 2, we fought two wars. (pause) that's where it comes from, right? (pause/inaudible) But that's like a fully mobilized country with everybody drafted.
Male Reporter 1: [Sick of being here/there] right. This'll be fine. It's like a fully mobilized country with everyone [inaudible]
Female reporter : Now it's company [inaudible] for the ground troops... [inaudible]
Male reporter 4: For the idea also being, from like, [inaudible] [troops]...

 

[Miss Annie]

I wonder if the companies = the likes of Halliburton and Kellog, Brown, & Root?
