Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And NPR refused to do a story about the revelations
contained in the film, either in All Things Considered or
a Warning edition. They had done an interview with me
on Talking the Nation You've heard of it, and explained
that they couldn't do They couldn't. It's not that they

(00:20):
didn't want to, they couldn't do a story on their
news broadcast because it violated the Dibbs rule. You know,
the first show that had me had DIBs on me,
and the fact that it was heard in the middle
of the day by a few people was really irrelevant.
It's the Dibbs rule, bab, which applies to everyone except
NPR anchors when they have a book coming out, who

(00:41):
can be on all the broadcasts that the network has.
But that's not the point anyway. So here's this week.
James O'Keefe, the right wing prankster, gets a videotape of
NPR's vice president for fundraising, Ron Schiller, and even though
Glenn Beck's website has pointed out that there were instances

(01:05):
in which the tape was misleadingly edited, there are enough
instances where it's clear that Ron Schiller did say what
he said on the tape such as calling tea party
members racists, that NPR immediately fired him, and then a
day later, Vivian Shiller, the chief executive of NPR, resigned.

(01:30):
This is the NPR that Vivian Schiller was running. When,
by the way, I attempted after finding out that they couldn't.
They wouldn't the DIBs rule, you know, wouldn't let them.
I attempted to advertise the film on the NPR and
they said, you can't say the words documentary about why
New Orleans flooded in your announcement, even though that's what

(01:51):
the film is. That was Vivian Schiller's NPR. So Vivian
Shiller was forced by the board or invited by the
board to resign this week. And I don't think she
really knows why. And I have it on good authority
for my sources and NPR it's because she violated the
Dibbs rule against NPR employing more than one Shiller. Hello,

(02:13):
welcome to the show from your nation's capital in Washington,
d C. I'm Harry Sherreer, welcoming you to this edition
of the show. That's interesting, notty how this place works anyway,
Ladies and gentlemen, apropos of what we were talking about

(02:38):
last week with Eve Smith more news on the new
f bomb. Foreclosure sales of hundreds of foreclosed homes in
Oregon Oregon Think of It have been halted or withdrawn
in recent weeks after federal judges repeatedly have questioned their legality.
According to a number of real estate attorneys in the state,
lenders have withdrawn more than three hundred foreclosure sales since

(03:00):
February in one county alone, Dozens of foreclosure listings by
Recontrust Company Why Wouldn't You Trust? A company called Recontrust,
the foreclosure arm of Bank of America, have disappeared from
its website. Attorneys say the bank is canceling certain sales
as a spokeswoman to ensure those homeowners had fully explored
options to avoid foreclosure. They truly are the bank of opportunity,

(03:24):
aren't they? And at a potential deal breaker for other
foreclosure cases. One of the nation's largest title insurance companies
is warning lenders it might not guarantee title in some
foreclosure sales. Foreclosure sales in Oregon total ten thousand, five
hundred last year, according to Realty Track. Federal agencies and

(03:47):
state attorneys general are investigating the foreclosure and loan modification
practices of the nation's largest banks. This all revolves around mirrors,
which we discussed with EVE last week. A Rest and
Virginia corporations set up in the mid nineties by the
mortgage banking industry to rapidly record the ownership of mortgages
so they could be packaged and sold as securities. This

(04:08):
allows lenders to sell loans without recording each transaction with
county recorders offices. Since October, federal judges in five separate
Oregon cases have halted foreclosures involving MURZ, saying its participation
caused lenders to violate the state's law that all mortgage
sales property sales must be recorded in the county where

(04:31):
they occur. Three of the decisions came last month, the
key one in US Bankruptcy Court in Eugene. A lot
of us are questioning whether there is a solution now,
says a Portland attorney who represents lenders in mortgage transactions.
It's pretty amazing, he says. There are a lot of
unanswered questions. Murrs has listed an agent for lenders on

(04:53):
more than eighty sorry sixty million US home loans, about
half of all such loans outstanding,
