	Zandom.
	Okay.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's October 18, 2009.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 140.
	This is No Agenda.
	Preparing for the final pages of the prophecy.
	And coming to you from the minimum security containment cell in Gitmo Nation West, San Francisco, California, in the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from cloudy bay, northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's crackpot and buzzkill in the morning.
	Whoa.
	Sorry.
	Sounds like it blew up.
	Yeah, overmodulated a bit.
	A little too much excitement.
	So just before the show, and I don't even think we were streaming, I said to John, I said, hey man, if we move to three days a week, should we do Monday, Wednesday, and Friday?
	To kind of split it up.
	And you said something really, really profound, John.
	It wasn't profound.
	For a lot of people, this show is church.
	Brothers and sisters!
	In the morning!
	Put your hand on your iPod and feel the truth.
	Yeah, pretty much.
	That's interesting.
	And we just got a great review, although I haven't read it entirely, so it could be a shitty review, and I just think it's a good review.
	Well, before you give us that little piece of info, I want to announce our today's executive producer.
	Yes?
	This is kind of weird.
	By the way, he just got in under the wire by like 49 cents.
	Really?
	Really?
	Yeah, Shane Brady, who I have to say, Shane Brady is our first...
	You're sitting down, right?
	Yeah.
	He's our first vegan executive producer.
	Ah, wait a minute.
	Is this our vegan in residence?
	I don't know if he's in residence or not, but he's living somewhere.
	That sounds good.
	In Silicon Valley, we have entrepreneur in residence.
	I think it's cool to have a vegan in residence.
	In Plattsburgh, Missouri.
	Shane, right?
	Yeah, Shane.
	How much did he donate to become this show's executive producer?
	$101.50.
	Ah, see, there's the trick, right?
	See, he knew that there was going to be someone with $100 somewhere, so if he came in a little bit more, and then some, and then some change, he would become the executive producer.
	Yeah, he just barely made it, though, because another guy, Jerry Brace, came in with $101.01.
	Let me just check real quick, because I think this is Shane, who loves us.
	Yeah, he does.
	Let me just see.
	I think he posted a comment somewhere.
	Let me see.
	I don't know.
	We actually did pretty well for the last few days, and I have to say that we could have named our new knight the executive producer, but he's a knight, so he doesn't need that kind of...
	And we're going to do him at the end, right?
	As it were.
	As it were.
	Yeah, so we were reviewed in News Geek.
	Is that something that a lot of people read?
	I don't know.
	Probably some people do.
	I thought it was pretty interesting just skimming through it.
	A link to the review, if you're interested, will be in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
	We're talking about the third paragraph down.
	Describing this company, basically they, that's you and I John, despise the media.
	The US government, all other governments, most scientists, every Fortune 500 company having to do with agriculture or chemistry, and nearly 99% of the Earth's population.
	And that 1% left over is a lot of people.
	That's a lot of people.
	These are two of the most cynical and elitist people alive.
	But underneath it all, they are well-bred and well-informed gentlemen, a little vulgarity aside, who meanwhile spread the news as they see it out of a nebulous but real sense of duty and have an agnostic moral code somewhere.
	You know, this is something for my tombstone.
	What?
	You have an agnostic moral code?
	Somewhere beneath their intellectual disdain for anything pertaining to organized religion.
	Which, of course, is the funny thing, because our show is organized religion.
	To some, yes.
	So, we might as well get to some stories.
	Well, I wanted to do one that just blew me away.
	In fact, one of our producers who sent me the story almost said in his email, he said, this has got to be a joke.
	This can't be a real news story.
	Shadow!
	It is yet another new person in the administration.
	The first COO of SEC Enforcement.
	And as you know, John, the SEC, ever since the Madoff scandal, and the SEC totally missing this Ponzi scheme...
	The biggest in history.
	Yeah, there's been a huge...
	Well, it's not quite as big as Social Security, but okay, it's the biggest in history that has been called one.
	So the SEC has had to overhaul everything, and they need to bring in some people who can really get the job done.
	Yeah, we can see this coming.
	Here it comes, everybody.
	Associated Press reports, Goldman Sachs executive has been named the first chief operating officer of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Enforcement Division.
	That's like putting the Hamburglar in charge of McDonald's security.
	Adam Storch, Vice President at Goldman Sachs Business Intelligence Group, which I think is, isn't that like a, forget it, that's scary.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	It's probably one of those guys, one of those fixers, one of those guys behind the scenes, like in the, you know, the, what's it, Clayton movie, who's Michael Clayton, that kind of person, or the guys who were in the background of that Trading Places movie with Eddie Murphy that were doing the Dirty Deal.
	Right, right, right.
	Yeah, deep throat kind of guy.
	Yeah.
	I love the acronym BIG. B.I.G. So he will become the managing executive of the SEC's Division of Enforcement.
	The move came as the SEC has been revamping its enforcement efforts following the agency's failure to uncover Bernard Madoff's massive fraud scheme for nearly two decades, or as they say in Gitmo Nation East, decades, despite numerous red flags.
	He'll report to Enforcement Director Robert Kuzami, who I didn't even know...
	I wonder who that guy is.
	I've heard of him.
	Let me see if there's a quote from someone.
	That's usually pretty funny if they talk about how he's just perfect for the job.
	Here it is.
	Storch has a strong background in technology systems and project management, Kuzami said in a statement.
	Quote, he will help to make us more efficient and nimble and permit us to put more of our investigators on the front lines to detect and stop fraud.
	Yeah, why don't you start with that Goldman Sachs high-volume trading program?
	Why don't you start there?
	And take that out of commission and then we'll really believe you're going to do something.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Flash trading.
	Make it illegal.
	It's just an obvious scam.
	By the way, I've always been annoyed by it.
	The news business has required over the years this kind of balanced...
	You know, kind of reporting.
	So they always throw these gratuitous quotes in.
	Do you get a quote from the...
	I can just hear the editor.
	Oh, but it's from the press release, John.
	Yeah, I know.
	The press releases put them in.
	They put them in because they know otherwise, you know, they won't get run.
	So the press releases are written by these same people, these editor types that have to put the quote in.
	So they put these bogus quotes in.
	And the fact that anybody runs them, it should be, you know, like it should be a two-paragraph thing and a picture of the guy.
	Yeah.
	Kusami most recently served as general counsel for the Americas at Deutsche Bank.
	IG, of course.
	All right, don't get me started.
	Yeah, well, a lot of the media runs on press releases.
	Well, nowadays, it's almost like that's all they do.
	Yeah, because it's easy.
	It's spoon-fed.
	No one has to do any investigative work.
	You can have an intern copy and paste it right into the teleprompter, and you're done.
	They even give you a little EPK, electronic press kit.
	So you get all your either sound bites or video clips, and you've got news.
	Yeah, that's just pretty much the way it is.
	And, you know, the public doesn't care.
	No.
	No, we don't.
	I watched last night...
	Well, two things.
	First, we went to the movies.
	Went to see where the wild things are.
	No.
	Or Where the Wild Things Live.
	What is it called?
	It's a very cute movie.
	Cute chick flick.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	No, it's not a chick flick.
	It's actually a PG movie.
	It's actually for kids.
	It's a very cute story.
	But man, Saturday night at the movies.
	I haven't been to a movie on Saturday night in a long time.
	And it's just not a good idea.
	There's just people laughing and snoring and making noise.
	And someone had their kid there at 10.30.
	And the kid's running up and down the aisles.
	And the mother's trying to keep her quiet by rattling keys.
	What the hell is that all about?
	She's like a monkey.
	Really?
	Take your hairy monkey kid and get the frick out of the theater, lady.
	Man, oh man, oh man.
	I'm not going to do that again.
	No, don't.
	Skip movie theaters on Saturday nights.
	It's not fun.
	By the way, it just brings up a point.
	Just an aside, this has got nothing to do with anything we're going to talk about.
	Nothing with anything.
	But I was up at Leo's doing the Twitch show some weeks ago, and he's got a huge box of PG tips.
	He doesn't know where they came from.
	Somebody bought them somewhere.
	But they're PG tips in individually wrapped packages.
	Yeah.
	And they're tea bags.
	No, that can't be.
	Yeah.
	No, no, no.
	That's against the law.
	And so, I'll bring you one.
	So it's a key bag, and it says, but on the back, it's weird.
	I swear to God, I'm going to read exactly what it says.
	So it has an actual string attached to the triangle pouch.
	With a tag.
	With a tag.
	It's made for the American market.
	That's what it is.
	Yeah, we're idiots.
	Apparently we can't deal with the pyramid bag.
	How do I get it out?
	Don't make me use a spoon!
	Okay, here in the back it says the following.
	And I'm just wondering if they wrote this as a joke or they wrote it because they know nobody's ever going to read it.
	To prepare the best cup of PG tips, brewing methods may vary, but we suggest, one, use one bag per 200 milliliters of freshly boiled water, which indicates this isn't for the American market because they get milliliters.
	Two, allow your customer, this may be something from restaurants, allow your customer to brew to their preferred strengths one to two minutes as a guide, then remove the tea bag.
	Three, always use fresh milk where possible, and there you have it, a delicious brew fit for a monkey.
	No, it doesn't say that.
	I swear to God, it says that.
	A brew fit for a monkey?
	It's what it says.
	I'll bring you the bag and you're going to...
	That's nuts.
	It's totally nuts.
	Well, it is made for the U.S. market.
	There's proof right there.
	Yeah, you might be right.
	Like, if you're reading this, you are a monkey.
	I can't believe you're reading this PGTips.com.
	Pyramid bag with a string.
	That's so wrong.
	Staying in Gitmo Nation East.
	I'm sure this one flew around the internet.
	I haven't been checking all of the virality of stories, but Harrod's now selling gold bars in London.
	Yeah, we ran that one on the blog.
	Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool.
	What was the closing price?
	Are we still around $1,050?
	No, I think it's around $1,070.
	$1,070 now?
	Oh, fantastic.
	Well, you know that somebody pointed out to me?
	All you have to do is go look at the charts.
	If you would have invested not in gold...
	Oh, here it comes.
	In pharmaceutical companies...
	No, no.
	I'm talking about precious quote-unquote metal.
	If you'd not invested in gold and you'd invested in lead...
	Oh, yeah.
	You would have doubled your money.
	How about copper?
	Well, copper goes up and down.
	It's a little more risky.
	Lead has been taking a strong, straight up boom-ba-dum-boom.
	So what is it about lead?
	What do we use lead for?
	Batteries.
	Except bullets.
	Batteries.
	Yeah, batteries and bullets.
	We use depleted uranium.
	Oh, for our bullets, yes.
	Yes, we do.
	Yeah, we don't fool around.
	Yeah, we don't mess around with lead, please.
	That's pussy stuff.
	DU. That's what you need.
	I'm holding back on all the swine flu stuff, because it's just so much of it.
	And it's actually new and interesting, or there's interesting twists and things taking place.
	But I was watching Bill Maher last night on the repeat.
	It was his last show of the season, I guess.
	Yeah, I don't know why they cut the show off when they do, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
	Well, Mickey said something interesting.
	She said she doesn't think he's coming back.
	And I had to think about it for a second, but I think I concur.
	And I don't know if you saw the show, but it was so bad.
	He was so stuck.
	And I think what's happened is...
	Oh, he was...
	The show was taken over by the guests.
	Well, he almost had a problem that I've had in the past.
	He was so stuck on Obama not getting out of Afghanistan and Iraq and being vehemently against swine flu, I don't think his audience is connecting anymore with him.
	Well, the swine flu thing is interesting because he...
	But, you know, he's kind of a...
	He has a lot of interesting bigotry built into his style.
	And his thing about the vaccines is...
	I mean, he's almost to the point...
	Like my doctor, when I was...
	We talked about this on a previous show.
	He said he thinks the public is over-vaccinated.
	Yeah.
	And he says that...
	Which has its bad elements.
	He says...
	He says he never advised people not to get vaccinated.
	And then he says polio is a good example.
	That's something you don't want, you know, floating around.
	Yeah, but this is the thing that they use over and over again.
	People are, you know, anyone who I talk to about not getting a swine flu vaccine, you know, they really get, if they're really vehement about it, it's like, well, you know, we'd have polio and you don't think that vaccine technology has improved in 30 years?
	No, no, no.
	Yeah, that's fine and danny.
	But the point I'm trying to make is that there probably are a few things it would be nice to be vaccinated against.
	But Mara, I don't believe, even thinks you should be vaccinated for polio or smallpox or anything.
	Is that the way he came across?
	That's the way he came across to me.
	Maybe a little bit, but regardless, what I'm feeling is he's not connecting with his audience, mainly with his audience there who's sitting there.
	Who just want to be everything, yay Obama and boo Republicans.
	And Roy Marr, he's very bigoted about special needs people.
	Everyone he doesn't like is a special needs person.
	Basically an invalid or retarded.
	And that's pretty bigoted as well.
	You can talk about race all you want, but let's ease off on the slamming special needs kids, okay?
	I don't know.
	I don't see them dropping the show.
	No, no, no.
	I don't think it's a question of dropping the show.
	I think he may not want to come back.
	That's what I think.
	Well, he was a little bit sedate.
	And the guests were funnier than he was.
	Yeah, a little discombobulated.
	And yeah, the show was a little disjointed.
	It wasn't a good finishing show, that's for sure.
	No, it was not.
	Let's just stay on the vaccines for a second.
	We'll then play the swine flu minute.
	No, it's not the swine flu.
	You saw this.
	The Food and Drug Administration has finally done it, has approved Gardasil to prevent...
	Well, of course, Gardasil is...
	The HPV vaccine, the human papillomavirus, so that young girls do not get cervical cancer.
	And guess what?
	It turns out if you give boys this shot, they also don't get cervical cancer.
	It's amazing.
	It's an amazing discovery.
	It's astonishing.
	So this stuff now apparently prevents genital warts in men and boys.
	Yeah, so go get a vaccine against genital warts because people are dropping like flies.
	They're dying in droves from genital warts.
	Oh, it's a plague!
	How about wrapping that sucker?
	Parents, why don't you teach your kids 9 through 26, I might add.
	What kid at 9 gets genital warts?
	Show me that kid.
	Actually, don't.
	He can replace me on the show.
	Oh, my God.
	Yeah, so the FDA has now approved this.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	If this does not prove...
	Merck.
	Merck trying to double their money on this stuff.
	If this does not prove that this is only about money, I mean, it's so clear.
	The financial industry has hijacked the United States.
	The war industry has hijacked the United States.
	And now, and of course, that is what the entire health care bill is all about.
	They're really going for the jugular.
	They're going to take over everything.
	And we don't give a shit.
	We're just taking it all.
	Kaboom.
	Well, you know, like you said, you pointed this out many, many shows ago that the UK, the public in the UK have been the testing ground for government abuse.
	Yeah.
	Oh, and they love it.
	Just to see how much they can put up with it.
	And it's like, I'm sure that if you're in the government or you're Tony Blair, you must be shaking your head saying, wow.
	Wow.
	These guys will put up with anything.
	Well, I'm glad you bring that up because there's been a lot of talk about Tony Blair, of course.
	We know now that he is poised to become the President of Europe once the Lisbon Treaty has been ratified.
	One little state left, the Czech Republic, and I think the...
	Is it the Prime Minister or the President?
	I think it's the President.
	I think he's waiting for his black bag to show up or something.
	He'll sign it, obviously.
	But it's so weird to have Tony Blair all of a sudden pop up onto the scene.
	Didn't he leave in disgrace?
	Wasn't he kicked out effectively by Gordon Brown?
	Wasn't it like, you're no good, you've screwed everything up?
	Then he leaves.
	He converts to Catholicism.
	And now the plan unfolds according to...
	Why does he convert to Catholicism at his age?
	And by the way, the Anglican Church and the Catholic Church are pretty much the same.
	It's the same style of church.
	It's the same belief structure.
	The differences over time are negligible.
	No.
	Well, it's very important, John.
	You must know that, of course, after he converted to Catholicism, he was blessed by the Pope in some secret, you know, ceremony.
	Do we have that?
	Do we know that for sure?
	Well, you know, there are reports on it.
	I have to look them up.
	We did talk about this.
	I'll have to look it up.
	This was...
	When did he convert?
	Like, more than a year ago.
	So I'll have to figure it out.
	But...
	The theory is that this is all part of the prophecy, the Bible prophecy, which is the Roman Empire.
	What is this guy reading?
	Too much Dan Brown?
	Listen, listen.
	You've got to hear Jimmy DeYoung, who is an evangelist, and a link to his whole story.
	And he has a great website which is Prophecy Today, examining current events in the light of God's prophetic word.
	Listen to a little bit from Jimmy's show.
	Now, with Tony Blair's comments that there could be a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians within the year, the peace process seems to be moving towards a deal.
	This scenario is really a page out of Bible prophecy.
	The ancient Jewish prophet Daniel wrote of the revival of the old Roman Empire, which would be led by a world leader powerful enough to put this peace deal together.
	The prophecy of the revived Roman Empire, Daniel 7 verses 7 and 24, could well be fulfilled in the near future.
	The infrastructure actually is in place.
	That's the European Union.
	The world leader that comes from that political powerhouse, Daniel 7 verses 8 and 24, could be the permanent president that is called for in the European Union's Lisbon Treaty.
	Daniel 9, 27 does reveal this world leader will bring peace to the Middle East.
	We're saved!
	You know, this stilted style of preaching, which this guy obviously employs, and probably one of the best at this is Robert Tilton.
	It seems to be, and also there's other people that employ it.
	I think there's something...
	It's mind control.
	It's mind control.
	Yeah, there's a mind control aspect to it because it's got a pace that the brain is like, you know, he's not saying, he's not speaking in sentences, he's speaking in words.
	It sounds almost like my Mac is translating something from a text document.
	Tony Blair will be the president of the world.
	Well, the premise is Daniel 927, which reveals the world leader.
	Know my 27 different names.
	But best known as the Antichrist.
	And he will indeed establish peace between Israel and her Arab Muslim neighbors with a peace agreement.
	I think if anybody's the Antichrist, I think Blair could be.
	It's not bad.
	But there's a lot of people who read the Bible.
	I've heard it sold just a little bit more than Atlas Shrugged last year.
	And it's quite possible that people believe this.
	Can we get a show in?
	I knew I'd slip it in.
	That guy's pretty good, though.
	I like listening to him.
	This guy?
	This preacher?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, he's interesting.
	What's his name?
	Jimmy DeYoung.
	Jimmy DeYoung, yeah.
	I like the long-legged Obama guy better.
	He's more lively.
	The black preachers have got...
	They have a cadence, too, which is more...
	Well, Obama sometimes tries to get into that cadence.
	It's more rhythmic.
	Yes.
	These other types, these Robert Tilton types, and by the way, those guys typically will speak in tongues.
	Another fine biblical reference.
	Yeah, well, you know, the biblical reference to tongues is quite interesting.
	I was actually going to write about this one time, and this is one of my many projects that I just said is too much work.
	Yeah, I'm looking at the different translations of the Bible.
	The Bible actually gets translated a lot, and it oftentimes gets translated in a way that reflects trends within the society.
	Yeah, current trends.
	Of course.
	As people get smarter, the Bible gets smarter.
	As people get dumber, the Bible gets dumber.
	And they have a whole slew of translations that just came out recently that you can't actually access online because they're all copyrighted.
	And there are a whole bunch of them that are essentially designed with the evangelicals in mind and it's written specifically for them.
	And if you read that interpretation of the Bible compared to just about anything written before, it's like they have rewritten the Bible.
	Right.
	And Daniel 9.27 would be interesting.
	I'll look at the different translations of that.
	Oh, yeah, please get back to me on that, will you?
	I will.
	Have a read of that Bible and get back to me.
	I'm happy to bring this one up again, particularly since you scoffed at me when I first started talking about VeriChip and the RFID capabilities.
	And then this commercial shows up.
	For the medical chip, which of course we all need to have embedded inside our bodies.
	To think something so small can connect you to everything that matters.
	When your life and all you love are on the line.
	Healthlike is always with you.
	When every second counts in the emergency room.
	Providing immediate access to your medical records.
	I realize it doesn't really work if you don't see the visuals.
	What a crock of crap.
	What do you mean when every second counts in the emergency room?
	They make you wait.
	John, listen, I'm going to take you to healthlinkinfo.com, which starts off with a video from a doctor, of course.
	Have a listen to what they're really selling.
	Hi, I'm Dr.
	James Provo, a practicing emergency physician.
	I'm the doctor who sees you...
	A practicing emergency physician?
	Does that mean he's a nurse?
	...when you come into the ER, and I have over 15 years of experience treating patients and find themselves in a medical emergency.
	Being in an emergency room can be a scary experience.
	Patients are often anxious and confused, and it's difficult to give accurate answers to the many questions that we ask you that provide us with essential information for your care.
	According to the Institute of Medicine, over 98,000 people a year in the United States die due to medical errors.
	You know, I really love these die statistics I keep hearing.
	Did you know, John, that every day 122 people die because they don't have health care?
	Healthcare insurance, that is.
	Everyone has a number of...
	They're probably dying for other reasons.
	Yeah, they're dying because they're sick, not because they don't have insurance.
	They may have cancer, which is pretty much incurable still.
	Your healthcare insurance is not going to save you.
	You're still going to die.
	This is like, yo, did you know people die because they didn't have what we used to call a codicil?
	Is that what it's called, codicil?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, there used to be these bracelets, and the bracelet would contain your medical information.
	You'd wear the bracelet.
	I don't know.
	It was huge back in the day in Europe.
	You had big manly bracelets and had your medical information in it.
	And if you have a medical condition, then you should carry something like that around with you.
	But the idea of embedding a VeriChip RFID chip into your body with the information centrally stored where we can always access it, Which I believe is going to be...
	Chris Mack was at the office the other day, and I was talking to him.
	The big Health 2.0 conference is being held in the Bay Area.
	And this is what it's all about.
	It's all about Google Health and Microsoft Medicine, or whatever they're calling their version of it, storing all of your shit with Microsoft.
	By the way, the guys who can't even keep your T-Mobile information safe or backed up, And now they're really pushing for everybody being chipped.
	This is often caused by a lack of information about a patient's history or personal health record.
	HealthLink solves this problem by providing emergency physicians access to your vital medical information through a secure online database.
	Hey John, a secure online database.
	Isn't that a dichotomy in terms right there?
	Yeah, it's ridiculous.
	This allows us to treat you quickly, accurately, and safely during an emergency.
	Quickly, they make you wait!
	Hold on a second.
	Windows is still booting up.
	I welcome you to explore this website to learn more about how HealthLink can link you and your personal health records.
	There you go.
	I didn't scoff you or scoff.
	I wasn't scoffing.
	No, you did a while back.
	You certainly did.
	It never happens.
	That's not my style.
	You should look at this healthlinkinfo.com.
	It's like every single picture has someone holding up the chip, the little chip between their forefinger and their thumb, the little chip.
	Yeah, people are going to actually, if they do it right, they can convince people that they should be chipped.
	Well, this has been going on for a long time.
	Well, they're just trying a different approach.
	This sounds like the one that might work.
	I would recommend against it.
	I don't think it's a good idea, friends.
	For real.
	Alright, what you got?
	I'm just full of stories today.
	Well, I want to do the thing, you know, this is the most baffling story that's floating around.
	Jon Stewart played it up on the Comedy Central show, and it's Al Franken, who actually looks like he might turn out to be a decent senator because he's very, you know, studious.
	And he doesn't joke around.
	He's not funny anymore, apparently.
	No, he's not.
	Which is kind of the drawback, but at the same time, he knows he can't be, so he's dead serious about everything, and he keeps coming up with stuff.
	So he came up with this simple amendment to a bill that would require that any U.S. contractor cease making employees, women in particular, sign away their rights against suing the company if they're gang-raped.
	So let me just get this right.
	So there are US companies who make female employees sign a waiver that if they're gang raped, which of course is so much more pleasurable than a singular rape, they then cannot sue the company?
	Is that what you're saying?
	That this actually exists today?
	Yeah, in fact, it turns out that Halliburton is one of the biggest proponents of using this little document.
	But if I read a bunch of articles on it, it looks like Boeing and all these big international companies that are in the U.S. use this.
	It's like a dummies contract.
	And these people, you have to sign this because we can't, you know, we're going to Iraq and God knows what these guys are going to do to you over there, so you better sign this thing because we don't want to get sued.
	And so this seemed pretty bogus to him, and so he said, this has got to go.
	And before I get too much into this complaint of mine, I am still completely baffled by the fact that we have a U.S. Constitution.
	And people are signing contracts, and I would say a non-disclosure agreement, which is commonly signed by the media, by the way, and I refuse to sign one, commonly signed by the media, really takes away your First Amendment rights.
	And many times, if you work for a company, you'll sign one of these things as a condition of employment, and you might not be able to talk about anything you did at that company for months.
	A period of time which is outlined typically in the non-disclosure agreement.
	Which is restriction of freedom of speech is what you're saying.
	Which is restriction of freedom of speech.
	And you talk to me, well, you know, contracts have, just contract, contract, contract.
	And I'm thinking the more I see this now, apparently you're getting, you sign away your right to not be raped.
	And...
	No, you can rape me.
	No problem.
	Sign away.
	So I'm thinking, why doesn't somebody test this in court by having somebody sign away their freedom and become an indentured slave?
	Sign away.
	Get a document.
	Sign it out.
	Make it all legal and sign it saying, I am now a slave to so-and-so and reintroduce slavery in the country because that's exactly where this leads.
	Yeah.
	But...
	I don't know how this can be maintained now.
	The real complaint here is that so they take a vote on what seems to be like a simple thing.
	Yeah, it seems pretty logical.
	It's like, no, that's not a good idea.
	You shouldn't be.
	Not a good idea.
	We don't want it.
	So 30 Republicans.
	Vote against it.
	Vote against it.
	In other words, there, you know, the rape Republicans, the pro-rape Republicans, it's an embarrassment now that I ever was a member of the Republican Party with the fact that we have 30 Republicans that are pro-rape.
	Now, they all have, and by the way, I'm going to name them.
	They all have...
	Some bullshit excuse.
	Oh, well, you know, if you read between the lines, it would, oh, it's going to hurt our kids.
	You know, there's all these little kind of now, now, now.
	Although these guys will sign off on anything else.
	But they got reasons for not going along with this one.
	Not to mention the fact that they don't want to do it.
	You know, it's embarrassing that Al Franken discovered it.
	But that's beside the point.
	So they all vote no being a bunch of pro-rape jerks.
	And the thing is, politically...
	What kind of stupidity?
	This is what gets me more than anything.
	How dumb does a senator have to be to show up on this list as being for rape?
	Well, you of course make the mistake that this would actually be discussed in mainstream news at all, John.
	Oh, it's going to get discussed.
	No, no.
	John, oh please.
	Balloon Boy!
	Balloon Boy is more important than this.
	Give me a break.
	Let me just read the names for you people out there who have these people working for you.
	Alexander, Republican of Tennessee, Barrasso, Wyoming, Bond, Missouri, Brownback, Kansas, Bunning, Kentucky, Burr, North Carolina, Chambliss, Georgia, Coburn, Oklahoma, Cochran, Mississippi.
	By the way, all you churchgoers in Mississippi, are you for rape?
	Corker, Tennessee.
	Cornyn, Texas, another rape state.
	Crapo, perfect name, Idaho.
	Dement, South Carolina, Ensign, Nevada.
	Enzy, Wyoming.
	Lindsey Graham, South Carolina do-gooder.
	He's pro-rape and you're re-electing him?
	Greg, New Hampshire, Inhofe, Oklahoma, Issacan, Georgia.
	Both of you guys from Georgia, by the way.
	Good religious state.
	Johans, Nebraska, Kyle, Arizona.
	McCain, the guy who would be president, is pro-rape.
	Yippee!
	McConnell, Kentucky, Rish Roberts, Sessions from Alabama, and Shelby from Alabama, both religious states, and they have these guys pro-rape, Thune, Vitter, and Weicker.
	I'm glad you bring this up, John.
	I think we really need to stay on top of this, and I'd like to hear some of these excuses that these rape Republicans are using.
	No Democrat voted against, right?
	Only 30 Republicans?
	The 30 rape Republicans, yes.
	There's two not voting.
	Sorry?
	No one else.
	That was it.
	That was the only names.
	It was 68 to 30 to 2.
	Shall we play a little bit of this bit?
	Yeah, play a little bit of the train.
	Senator from Minnesota.
	Thank you.
	Madam President, the amendment I offer today is inspired by the courageous story of a young woman who has dedicated four years of her life to make sure that no other woman lives through her nightmare.
	This is the story we did actually discuss months ago, John, when she blew the whistle.
	Right.
	That's what started it all off.
	That's how Al Franken discovered it.
	Four years ago, at the age of 19, Ms.
	Jamie Lee Jones signed a contract to become an employee of KBR, then a Halliburton subsidiary.
	That contract contained a clause which required her to arbitrate any future dispute against her employer.
	This means it forced her to give up her right to seek redress in court if she was wronged.
	At the time, Ms.
	Jones had no idea what implications this seemingly innocuous fine print clause would have.
	Okay, so I'm already starting to understand how this is working.
	So it's not specifically if you're raped, but it's any dispute with your employer will be arbitraged versus going to court, which has been something that's been standard in contracts for a long, long, long time.
	And it's a huge scam because an arbitrage is done with lawyers, essentially, and then it's just whoever has the biggest pocketbook will basically win.
	Right, but in this case, what typically you deal with when it comes to arbitration are employee disputes.
	It's not about illegal activity or where you get killed.
	Good point.
	Good point.
	And by the way, there's all kinds of shit going on with KBR because these are the same guys who have built defective showers where many, many, I'm talking scores, as in 12 score...
	Scores of servicemen and women and also contractors have been electrocuted due to faulty wiring.
	They're out there taking a shower in the desert.
	I've taken a shower in one of these field shower facilities.
	It's basically like a big...
	A rubber sleeping bag that's hanging up.
	They have a whole bunch of...
	They're actually like body bags when you think about it.
	It's kind of nasty.
	And you get in there, you zip it up, and then you turn the shower on.
	So that's like an instant cubicle.
	But it's very wet.
	And there's no bottom to it.
	It basically all goes through wooden rafters and then is...
	Probably repurposed.
	God knows what happens there.
	But there's wiring all over these camps and these poor boys and girls have been electrocuted to death in the shower due to faulty KBR work and none of this has really come to the forefront as well, probably due to the same type of clause in their contract.
	Yeah.
	Well, let's listen a little bit more.
	It is pretty interesting.
	Ms.
	Jones arrived in Iraq in July of 2005.
	Immediately she complained to supervisors about the hospital conditions imposed by KBR. She was constantly being harassed by her male colleagues and was housed in barracks with 400 men and only a few women.
	Her pleas for safer housing were ignored.
	Four days after her arrival, Ms.
	Jones was drugged and gang-raped.
	She requested medical attention and a doctor administered a rape kit.
	Parts of that rape kit have since mysteriously disappeared.
	After Ms.
	Jones reported the rape to her supervisors, she was locked In a shipping container with an armed guard and prohibited any contact with the outside world.
	This actually makes me sick to my stomach.
	I can't listen to it.
	I'll put it in the show notes.
	Listen to yourself.
	Yeah, and you can also listen to the senators that you have representing you that seem to be oblivious to this sort of thing and, I guess, encourage it.
	Now, I know that there's, you know, there's probably some crazy rationale for voting no.
	You know, I'm sure you can rationalize, and I'm sure McCain has a great issue.
	Well, this and that, you know.
	I like raping chicks.
	It ain't that reason enough!
	So anyway, but that's what it amounts to.
	I just found the whole thing disgusting.
	It is.
	Really, I'm sitting here listening to Frank and...
	Who, by the way, I have my doubts about, but it doesn't matter.
	It's just...
	Nauseating is what it is.
	Nauseating.
	Hey, thanks for bumming me out, Buzzkill.
	Hey, that's what I do.
	Good job, yeah.
	You're right on your game today.
	Wasn't our friend Vivek Kundra, didn't he run Virginia's Technology?
	Well, he had something.
	Him and Chopra, those two guys had something to do with it.
	Yeah, wasn't he like the CTO of Virginia before he became the CIO of these United States?
	I looked at his bio, none of it was accurate anyway.
	Who knows what he really did?
	He was a sea of something.
	October 13th, reports the Washington Post.
	A scathing legislative audit released Tuesday shows Virginia's outsourcing of a massive, here it comes, John, $2 billion computer upgrade That's some RAM you're getting right there, man.
	$2 billion.
	That's an upgrade.
	The $2 billion computer upgrade has been so troubled that core government services have been disrupted and the canceling the contract could cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars more.
	You know, this has Vex fingerprints all over it, doesn't it?
	Well, not only that, but there's also his pal, Anish Chopra, who somebody sent me a whole bunch, because I'm looking into him.
	Apparently, he was like the king of outsourcing stuff to India.
	If there's any chance of getting some work for his buddies back in Bombay, he was all over it.
	Well, this work was done by Northrop Grumman, which might outsource as well.
	It wouldn't surprise me.
	This is so typical, and you see this all over the world.
	We saw this happen in the United Kingdom with their...
	Computerization of the National Healthcare Service, which has cost, I think it's five billion pounds, basically to create an Oracle database of everyone's shit and make it accessible with an HTTP server.
	I'm making it sound simple, but please.
	And it's just creating classes of insurance codes.
	It can't be that difficult.
	No, that's what computers are good for.
	And what happens is you get these jabronis who are, I think, just either on the take or whatever.
	They certainly don't know really what they're talking about.
	They've never done an implementation themselves.
	They've never led any kind of huge scale effort.
	And they give these big contracts and they're subcontracted and subcontracted again.
	And let's face it, companies like Northrop Grumman, it behooves them to keep on going.
	To keep the contract running and run into more problems and be able to up the ante and they just keep on going and it costs the taxpayers billions of dollars.
	And I would say that Kundra and Chopra are two of these guys that do that shit.
	By the way, they're running the country's technology right now.
	Into the ground.
	That's my prediction.
	$2 billion.
	Yeah, well, it's like the $18 million website.
	No, no, no.
	$2 billion is a little different.
	Well, I know.
	I'm just saying it's...
	No, no.
	It's different.
	I'm sorry.
	It is just different.
	Yeah.
	So, yeah, no, I'm just, what can I say?
	I mean, I don't understand how these guys get these contracts.
	And of course, you know, once they get the contract, you've made them half pregnant.
	And so they have to keep going.
	So it ends up costing twice as much or more.
	They'll probably end up walking away with $5 billion.
	Let's talk about a little bit more cost.
	What do you think, John, it costs per gallon of gas for our armed services in Afghanistan?
	I'm not just talking about the actual price that we have to pay Mohammed at the pump there in Afghanistan.
	In the province, but the security, secure facilities...
	Now, what are you talking about, Iraq or Afghanistan?
	Afghanistan.
	Now, you're asking me, what does it cost to...
	Per gallon, for the U.S., so this is all part of the contracting services.
	Oh, wait, wait, okay, wait.
	I'm just trying to make it simple.
	Yes, okay.
	You're going to give me a number that is...
	You're going to take a soldier and you're going to tell me how many gallons of gasoline does it take to get him over there to keep him over there?
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	You're doing it the wrong way.
	To put one gallon of gasoline into a vehicle in Afghanistan, a military vehicle...
	Okay, okay, wait, wait, wait.
	And I'll give you the parameters, okay?
	So it's transport, security for...
	For secure locations.
	That's about it.
	It's really for transport and security.
	So what you're going to do is tell me what, essentially, what the actual number is, what it costs for a soldier to use a gallon of gas insofar as what it takes to get the gas over there, what it takes to store it, what it takes all of this.
	In other words, what is the taxpayer paying for this one gallon of gas?
	Give us the number.
	$400.
	No, that's bullshit.
	Well, TheHill.com, which I like reading The Hill, they do some pretty good work, John.
	And they've calculated this based upon Pentagon officials who told the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee that a gallon of fuel cost the military about $400.
	They're getting ripped off.
	It's a number we were not aware of, and it's worrisome, says John Murtha.
	It's worrisome.
	They're going to get pipelines running all over Afghanistan.
	Just tap one of them.
	When I heard that figure from the Defense Department, we started looking into it.
	Yeah.
	Is that an idea?
	Oh, man.
	So this is the government's own numbers from calculations done by some journalists.
	Some crackpots, yeah.
	It's the Pentagon.
	Well, they are, of course, crackpots.
	Seems high.
	Yeah.
	Well, maybe they're low-balling it.
	It could be much more.
	It's actually $1,200.
	That is so outrageous.
	Can we low-ball it anymore?
	No, we can't really get it below $400.
	That's really it.
	$400 a gallon.
	They don't have any oil in Afghanistan, do they?
	They just got mountains and shit.
	Well, I know, but they have pipelines that go through Afghanistan.
	All the UNICAL stuff does.
	Well, that's part of the reason we're in Afghanistan.
	It's for ocean and for oil pipelines.
	It's a very important pipeline.
	Yeah, that's what they say.
	So...
	That was another interesting thing about the Mars show.
	They got into the Afghanistan thing, and it's interesting to note that you have people like Alec Baldwin, who is a radical democrat, who's essentially pro- He's pro-war.
	And that's really interesting because he came on and I said, oh, I like Alec Baldwin because he's anti-war.
	And I'm like, huh?
	What happened here?
	All of a sudden he's like, yeah, we should be kicking Al-Qaeda's ass.
	We should go into Pakistan.
	We should go into Somalia.
	We should go...
	I'm like, wait a minute.
	Where's Alec Baldwin and what did you do with my friend?
	This is what happens when the Democrats get in office.
	You know, the Democratic Party now represents the richest people in America.
	That's now flipped.
	The Republicans are no longer the rich people.
	It's the Democrats.
	This was in USA Today two weeks ago.
	Yeah, well, they want to keep it that way.
	So this is typical.
	I mean, oh, let's get out of here.
	We've got to vote them in and we'll get out of here.
	We'll get out of there.
	We're going to do this.
	We're going to do that.
	And they get in.
	This is what happened during the Vietnam era.
	God, you know, no one knows about this.
	You're old enough to know, and that's not a slam.
	I mean, you're old enough to know, and is this not exactly a...
	Yeah, it's exactly the same.
	You have one guy, you know, first they get their toes wet, and then the next thing you know, you get a...
	I mean, it started with Eisenhower, the Republican, and he just didn't want to have too much to do with it, and then Kennedy comes in, and then he's, you know, It kind of starts the ball rolling, and then there's some anti-war stuff beginning, and they put in Lyndon Johnson, who just goes nuts and sends half a million people over there.
	And then all this anti-war stuff comes up, and so the Democrats have to kill two of their own.
	And, you know, Bobby Kennedy is one of them.
	And it's just so they can't put a peace candidate up.
	Eight years after the 9-11 attacks, some in the U.S. are not convinced they have been told.
	Sorry, I didn't mean to do that.
	Who's that British woman in your house?
	Right.
	Anyway, so the point is that it took Nixon to get us out.
	Give me a break.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	The problem is we can't just extricate ourselves.
	Well, of course we can.
	All I have to do is say, stop, enough, done.
	But the reason why is because no one...
	This is what, you know, they're talking about, oh yeah, we're there for Al-Qaeda, we're there for the Taliban.
	Bullshit.
	You know, the thing that bugs me is that we're always giving the Asian countries a bad time because, oh, you can't get them to do anything.
	You can't say anything.
	You can't do anything because they always feel they're going to lose face.
	They're going to lose face.
	But we're the worst at this.
	We're in.
	We're stuck here.
	Let's pretend that we're here for some reason, and then we'll try to figure some bogus way to get out of this mess.
	We can't just walk out, apparently.
	Well, of course we could.
	It's that easy.
	And we could fix health care and everything else along with it.
	Yeah, no, we could.
	We could just walk out and say, look, bye.
	Yeah, see you.
	See you later.
	And, okay, raise the shields if you want to stop terrorists from coming in.
	Lord knows our TSA is doing a fine job.
	So the TSA stole some woman's baby.
	I know, I know.
	I actually researched the conversation we had last show about the laptop bag.
	It is true that they do allow, although they won't endorse any particular manufacturer, but if you have a laptop sleeve...
	I have the Crunchy bag, whatever it is.
	You are allowed by the TSA to leave that in.
	So what I'm going to do is I'm going to print that page out and have it with me.
	In fact, I'll probably put it inside the sleeve of the laptop bag.
	So if it goes through and they don't get a clear picture of your computer, this is according to the TSA's own website.
	They can then put it through again if they want or ask you to open it up.
	But I'm going to put it in...
	In the bin, in the sleeve, and if someone from the TSA starts bitching at me before it goes to the x-ray machine, I'm going to whip out my website piece of paper.
	I'm going to shove it in their face.
	Yeah, you do that.
	And then I'm going to play this jingle.
	I'm going to say, hey you TSA agent, listen up boy!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	And I'll be calling you from Gitmo.
	Yeah, well.
	Make sure you only do this when you're really early for a flight.
	And you have time to stand around.
	I'm an American.
	I just can't help myself.
	I really, really can't.
	So that British woman who you heard, this is just something I wanted to play briefly because something that obviously was underreported was New Yorkers are trying to get a reopening of the 9-11 investigation into a referendum in New York.
	And I think they had 80,000 signatures.
	I'm not quite sure what the requirement is, but they had 80,000 signatures and the Supreme Court said, nope, not going to do it.
	Really?
	Yeah, you want to hear the report briefly?
	The whole truth about that day.
	Around 80,000 campaigners have called for a referendum on a new investigation into the tragedy.
	But America's Supreme Court has ruled it out.
	The demands have been heard, but the call to action silenced.
	New York State's Supreme Court has refused a referendum on having a new 9-11 investigation.
	The initiative, supported by 80,000 voters, would have appeared on November's mayoral ballot.
	NYC Ken, a coalition of victims' relatives, survivors, and rescue workers, led the referendum campaign.
	Why didn't our fighter pilots intercept the planes?
	Why was my uncle's crime scene tampered with?
	Why did the military lie to the 9-11 Commission?
	The group accuses the 9-11 Commission of failing to answer 70% of questions proposed by family members.
	It's a whole report.
	I think 80,000 should be enough, would you think at least?
	I don't know what the deal is.
	It may be an unconstitutional, in terms of the New York Constitution, an unconstitutional request.
	I have no idea.
	Well, it does give me a reason to play this jingle again.
	WTC7 won't go away.
	It won't.
	But it did go away.
	It went away in six seconds.
	It was amazing.
	It's amazing how that happened.
	They've never come up with an adequate explanation for WTC7. No, of course not.
	It got dinged, apparently.
	Well, the only true explanation was it housed SEC documentation, i.e.
	all of the scandals going on on Wall Street.
	It housed the CIA documentation, Pentagon information, the day before, September 10th, Donald Rumsfeld, on record, saying, yeah, we've misplaced about $2 trillion.
	We're not quite sure where it went.
	Well, the information was in WTC7. Oh, damn.
	Crap.
	We were going to look into that $2 trillion.
	Yeah.
	Here's the background.
	It goes like this.
	Okay, here comes the second player.
	What is it doing?
	It's supposed to be hitting WTC7. Oh, man.
	Let me see if I can find that Rumsfeld video.
	It's always fun to...
	Because people hear us say this stuff and they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right.
	Here it is.
	Rumsfeld.
	It's a YouTube clip.
	It's actually $2.3 trillion, I think.
	Oh, it cannot be played here.
	What the hell is that?
	Give me a YouTube clip, people.
	Here we go.
	It's all happening live.
	Play.
	Or dead, as it were.
	It's going to play.
	This is like a video of a video of a video of CBS News.
	Pentagon.
	The day before 9-1-1.
	Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war.
	Not on foreign terrorists.
	The adversary is closer to home.
	It's the Pentagon bureaucracy.
	He said money wasted by the military poses a serious threat.
	In fact, it could be said that it's a matter of life and death.
	Rumsfeld promised change.
	But the next day, the world changed.
	Ah, shit.
	And in the rush to fund the war on terrorism...
	This isn't the quote, I don't think.
	...the war on waste seems to have been forgotten.
	Where's this quote?
	My 03 budget.
	Ah, shit.
	It's, uh...
	No, fine.
	I didn't play it next week.
	Yeah, here it is.
	Admits to losing...
	Oh, it's 3.2 or 2.3?
	It's worth it.
	People need to hear this shit.
	All right, we'll go.
	Yeah, well, dude, I'm doing this live with, like, uh...
	This is not going to be any...
	The world shit.
	Ah, screw it.
	All right.
	Same one.
	I'll find it.
	Maybe if I just scroll ahead...
	Sorry about this.
	Yeah, really, I was unprepared.
	We'll find it.
	I'll find it and I'll put it in the show notes.
	But he literally says, yeah, there was like 2.3, either 2.3 or 3.2 trillion dollars.
	We can't find it.
	And the next day, the very place where that information is stored, without a plane hitting it, actually just disintegrates.
	It's amazing.
	It's amazing, I tell you.
	The Financial Services Agency from the United Kingdom and the FSA and the FSB, the Financial Stability Board, they're just coming out and saying it now, something we've been talking about on this show for quite a while.
	The G20 has asked...
	The body, the G20 body, to coordinate global efforts to introduce new financial rules that will be global because we need global financial regulation.
	This is how the central banks are going to come together and own us more than they already do.
	They're just coming out and saying it now.
	They are.
	And another report about little Timmy Geithner That would be our Secretary of the Treasury.
	And this is a Bloomberg report.
	Some of the Treasury Secretary's closest aides, none of whom face Senate confirmation, earned millions of dollars a year working for Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and other Wall Street firms.
	So, here's how it works.
	The Secretary of the Treasury has advisors, one of them Gene Sperling, who last year earned $887,727 from Goldman Sachs.
	Lee Sachs.
	Another top advisor reported more than $3 million in salary and partnership income from Mariner Investment Group.
	All of these guys, and you should look at all the names here, they advise this guy.
	They're in the meetings.
	They know exactly what's going to happen, and they place their bets based upon it.
	Sure.
	What could be better than that?
	Nothing, but it makes me want to cry.
	Yeah, I don't know what they're going to do about this.
	I guess we're going to have to wait until 2012, but then there's no...
	Who's going to be the next president?
	I'm thinking...
	It could be crazy enough that Rush Limbaugh becomes president.
	I think...
	Why not?
	It's like we've had every other type of actor.
	It's time for a radio guy to get in there.
	Put a radio guy in.
	Put a radio guy in.
	I'm telling you, it will be fantastic.
	All right, I think it's about time now.
	All right.
	We just have to do it.
	There's just no two ways around it, because now everything's being shipped.
	I received a CDC news brief, which of course is diligently copied by every media outlet, certainly in the country, probably around the world.
	They've got key flu indicators.
	Visits to doctors for influenza-like illnesses continued to increase in the past week.
	Total influenza hospitalization rates for laboratory-confirmed flu are climbing higher than expected for this time of year.
	The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza based on the 122 cities report has increased and exceeds what is normally expected this time of year.
	41 states are reporting widespread influenza activity at this time.
	Widespread, John.
	I don't know what that means.
	What is widespread?
	It means it's everywhere.
	It's everywhere.
	There's a map.
	They've got a cool map where it's just widespread.
	Almost all of the influenza viruses identified so far are 2009, H1N1, and we've been waiting for this.
	This one just came in today.
	It's something that we noticed happening in Asia half a year ago.
	But finally, we have identified the first pigs in the United States who have swine flu.
	Finally, a pig has the swine flu.
	It's about time.
	Three pigs.
	Minnesota State Fair.
	Three pigs tested positive in late August for H1N1, the flu virus that is causing the current pandemic.
	Interesting.
	How does that work?
	You know, a farmer says, Oh, Bessie don't look too good.
	I think I should test her for the swine flu.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	There's something...
	The virus does not seem to make pigs very sick.
	So how did he...
	Why did he test them for swine flu if the pigs weren't sick?
	It doesn't make any sense.
	sense the story is bogus well it's the new york times so it's a plant it's a plant yeah it's a plant obviously but why are they trying to go after the pork business well because you know this is you know we saw this before right we saw a bunch of these you know it was actually was either the new york times or one of these other uh new york based publishing companies that had that that uh slideshow and i sent you a copy of it and it was a swine flu around the world and it was mostly people with pigs.
	They were showing people, and so the public, because they tried to make it associative by calling it the swine flu, It came from a pig farm supposedly or something like that in Mexico for some unknown reason.
	And so they keep using swine flu and everybody, oh no, it should be the Mexican flu.
	And of course the Muslims were upset about, oh we can't even talk, say the word swine.
	It's just against our religion.
	And so that got everybody all bent.
	Oh God, what are we going to do now?
	We can't make this association.
	Is somebody putting the screws to the pork industry?
	It has to be something like that, John.
	It has to be.
	Is there like, you know, you pork guys have not been coughing up enough money.
	Is this like an extortion scheme?
	Officials at many state fairs this year are worried that people would infect pigs.
	What are they doing with their pigs?
	How do you infect the pig?
	Come here, Bessie.
	Hey, Bessie, come over here.
	Infect pigs that reports of infected pigs would create a scare that would harm the pork industry.
	Okay, there it is.
	Even though there's no risk of infection from eating cooked meat.
	So it's probably intended to do exactly that as to affect the pork industry.
	And one concern about animals harboring the virus is the possibility that viruses will change as they move back and forth between species, perhaps by mixing with other viruses.
	What are we doing with our pigs?
	Don't go kissing a pig, okay?
	It's that simple.
	Stay away.
	Could this be like a Muslim thing, John?
	Maybe it's a Jewish thing.
	We've got to get rid of pigs?
	Are we going to be culling pigs next?
	That's what we did with the avian flu.
	We killed billions of birds around the world.
	I mean culled.
	Is that what this is about?
	Are we going to start killing pigs next?
	I don't know.
	The whole thing is just sketchy.
	Yeah, when you're calling pigs, that would be great.
	I bet you it's going to happen.
	Well, I'm looking at the pork industry woes.
	There's been a bunch of...
	It started in 98...
	And it's apparently that industry has been on a down, on a decline.
	It's possible just the opposite might be going on, which is that if they did have a pork cull, let's say I'm a pork farmer.
	Hog industry woes of 1998, I'm looking at a marketing policy briefing paper.
	A sudden and severe economic storm hit the pork industry in 1998.
	It grew increasingly violent and culminated in a tornado outbreak near the end of the year, following two years.
	The highest two-year average hog prices in any way collapsed.
	Okay, look at something else.
	Look at something else.
	Look at the hedges or the put options or whatever it is on pork bellies.
	I'll bet you that these cocksuckers at Goldman Sachs and...
	JP Morgan and all these other dudes who are all in commodities like oil and gold, I'll bet you they have huge put contracts out on pork bellies.
	As in, they make tremendous bank if the price goes down.
	Okay, well, how about this for an idea?
	Since we don't know how they're going to play the game, let's say we somehow create a panic in the industry where they have to kill the pigs.
	They have to kill a bunch of pigs like they did with the chickens.
	Oh, it's just precautionary.
	Which will run the price way up, not down.
	Oh, right, of course, because we have a scarcity.
	Yeah, supply and demand, you're right.
	So, again, when they can go up, they can go up exponentially, and you can make a lot more money than a small collapse.
	Which apparently it's already done.
	So, let's take a buy low, sell high scenario.
	Meanwhile, the farmers, who are all bent out of shape because they're going to have to kill their animals, will end up getting government subsidies, which will be the wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
	And then they can go right ahead and they can cut deals with...
	Monsanto.
	And start building fake corn.
	I love it.
	Once again.
	And it's really, it's the industries working together once again because, of course, the pharmaceutical industry loves it.
	Well, there's something phony about this farmer that says he has the two or three sick pigs when it says in the report that there's very little indication.
	Little indication.
	They're not sick.
	What are you doing testing them for?
	If it doesn't make any difference, if they don't even get sick from it...
	Yeah, there's something phony going on with this pork deal.
	So Florida health officials are drawing up guidelines now that recommend barring patients to be able to treat people with swine flu.
	Guess what?
	If you have incurable cancer, end-stage multiple sclerosis, or other conditions of similar nature, you'll be barred from being admitted to hospital if the state is overwhelmed by flu cases.
	Because, of course, we have to save people.
	That's scary.
	You're just going home because you don't live in Florida.
	I'm just wondering what the whole thing is.
	This whole thing is just a scam.
	And by the way, I want to mention that this is about a year ago.
	When you're the one, when the swine flu thing first cropped up, when they first mentioned H1N1, you said immediately, because of the way it was presented right off the bat, that it was a scam.
	Well, the reason why is because we were all over the Gardasil thing.
	And the Gardasil thing didn't work very well, didn't work universally in every single country.
	In the Netherlands, I think close to 40% refused to get the HPV virus inoculation.
	And, you know, a lot of money goes into this.
	And all of these pharmaceuticals, all of their...
	Drugs are running out of patents, so they need something to perpetuate.
	And who's paying for it?
	Who do you think is actually paying for this swine flu vaccine?
	You and I are, through our taxes.
	Governments worldwide have bought this.
	They have already prepaid.
	The money is already in the pipeline with the pharmaceuticals.
	All they have to do now is just deliver and create more...
	And they can deliver whatever crap they want because they've already been given a free pass on anything that's flawed.
	Boston Herald, thousands of state inmates will get the coveted...
	Oh, I love this reporting.
	Did they use the word coveted?
	Coveted, the Boston Herald.
	Oh, there you go.
	There's your neutral writing.
	Laura Crimaldi and Hilary Chabot write this article.
	Thousands of state inmates will get coveted swine flu vaccinations weeks before law-abiding Bay Staters who foot the bill for prisoners.
	They'll have a shot at protecting themselves.
	The prison pampering has one lawmaker questioning the convoluted flu preparation.
	Oh my God.
	What do they write for?
	Entertainment Tonight?
	It's terrible.
	It's just bad.
	Coveted.
	The sheriff there, Sheriff James V. DiPaola, says it's a perfect breeding ground.
	He's requested 21,000 doses to inoculate staff, inmates, health, and prison officials.
	Actually, it is a perfect breeding ground.
	In fact, the decision is probably a good one if there was a problem.
	Yeah.
	In Germany, meanwhile, I've got a lot of respect for the Germans, man.
	They've banned voting machines because they don't trust them.
	They've seen this before.
	They've been on the slippery slope.
	Yeah, they looked at history.
	They actually teach their kids what went wrong.
	You know, it's like, hey, German friends, let's not do that again.
	We have Carrie in Munich, who is actually our 15th female listener.
	We need a little bell or something.
	Ding.
	Hi, Adam.
	Someone said that since you've been in the States, there was less overseas info, which I don't find to be true at all.
	But here is some news from Germany.
	No, thank you.
	I know you understand German, but anyway, here are some of the highlights that pop out of me.
	She sends an article from der Spiegel.
	Merkel and her cabinet have ordered vaccines without adjuvants.
	The army will also be getting shots without adjuvants.
	Speaker of the Bundesinnenministerium, the Ministry of the Interior, says they have ordered 200,000 non-adjuvanted vaccines from Baxter.
	Whoops.
	Well, they didn't get that memo.
	This is what's cool.
	They've ordered 200,000 non-adjuvanted vaccines from Baxter and 50 million doses from GlaxoSmithKline that do have adjuvants.
	For the general population.
	So the military and apparently Merkel herself will be getting a non-adjuvanted vaccine, but the general population gets 50 million doses.
	Also, those getting non-adjuvant doses are Paul Ehrlich Institute employees, which is a medical institute that is granting access to the German market for vaccines, who last week repeatedly defended the safety of adjuvant-containing vaccines, but they're not going to smoke their own dope.
	Oh no!
	Let's not do that!
	I mean, don't we see what's happening, peeps?
	Don't we see this?
	And then in New York, there was an actual lawsuit.
	I think there's an audio bite of that.
	Hold on a second.
	We talked about this, where the healthcare professionals didn't want to get vaccinated, and essentially they were told, well, you're fired then.
	Go home.
	Generally speaking, a lot of healthcare professionals never get vaccinated for anything.
	They just stay healthy.
	Yeah, because they're smart.
	Why can't I find this crap?
	Well, I'm sorry.
	Okay, well, let's see.
	Are you down with this rant?
	That was actually going to be the...
	I don't know why I can't find...
	That was going to be my perfect closer.
	So before we hit the jingle, let me just see if I can find it.
	Just give me one more second.
	I'm so sorry about this.
	I think you should edit this out.
	Here it is.
	No, I'm not going to edit that out.
	That's actual work.
	Screw this.
	Screw that.
	Here it comes.
	Start the video.
	Start the video!
	Our buyers travel from New York all the way to Florida to bring you back the best vehicles...
	Sorry.
	We have a pre-roll from FX Chevy.com.
	Well, anyway, Supreme Court judge in Albany has granted a temporary restraining order blocking the mandate requiring health care workers to receive the seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccines.
	Oh, my God.
	Good.
	Yeah, that is good.
	Thomas McNamara of Albany granted the temporary restraining order.
	I'm going to guess it's not going to hold too long.
	Yeah.
	No, it won't.
	And that, ladies and gentlemen, is...
	No Agenda recommends not taking the vaccine.
	Can you hit the Real News theme?
	Because I've got one piece of Real News that we need to talk about.
	And now, back to Real News...
	Alright, there's just a little side bit here.
	The BBC has defended a decision to change the ending of nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty.
	A version used on the CBeebies channel was altered.
	So rather than...
	Wait, all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again?
	Right.
	They had to change it to all the king's horses made Humpty happy again.
	The broadcaster said the change was made purely for creative reasons rather than trying to give a soft version of the rhyme for children.
	That's your BBC. I don't get it.
	What is the point?
	Well, you know, you don't want to hurt the kids' feelings if they couldn't put Humpty back together again.
	But this way, now he's happy.
	This is like right out of the Hollywood playbook.
	Everything has to have a happy ending.
	Labor MP Tom Harris told The Independent on Sunday, for goodness sake, obviously children would find it far too violent, distressing and horrific that Humpty could not be put back together again.
	My God.
	Apparently Little Miss Muffet has also been changed.
	She made friends with the spider instead of running away.
	No, you're kidding me.
	This can't be true.
	This article is in...
	Please send me that link.
	The Express.
	It's not in the Daily Mail.
	The Express is not as bad as the Daily Mail.
	I think it's actually the same publisher.
	Seriously, I think it is.
	They apparently have done this.
	But where do they do it?
	Just on the CBBB's channel is where they change?
	I mean, are they going to burn books so they can change it?
	Are we going to have like a CD crushing party?
	Like we had to burn records from the 70s.
	We're going to burn the nursery rhymes with Humpty Dumpty, Not Feeling Good.
	There's your clip.
	You can put it in the show notes.
	Thank you.
	Take it for what it's worth.
	I'm sure you read that leaked memo about, as it's been going around, about Obama controlling your television set, which of course is why I didn't even want to discuss it today until this came up, where the National Endowment for the Arts, they're telling people to put certain things into their television shows.
	Yeah, duh, we didn't know that.
	You didn't hear about this, this leaked memo?
	No, no, I didn't see anything about a leaked memo, which I, by the way, leaked memos like this always are bogus, but I'm sure this one is too, but I'd be interested.
	Okay.
	It may have to be something that we just put into the show notes, but it's...
	I can't believe you had...
	A lot of people leaked...
	Wait a minute.
	It's called Obama Controls Your Television.
	You can Google it.
	You'll find it.
	Here we go.
	BigHollywood.com, which of course is the same guy who does Breitbart or whatever.
	Oh, he's just a complete right-wing nut.
	Yeah, but I think he really does have this memo.
	That seems pretty...
	Alright, I'm looking at John Nolte.
	He's one of the main guys there.
	Here it is.
	September 10th of this year, the Entertainment Industry Foundation posted a press release informing the world that from October 19th to 25, more than 60 network shows will spotlight the power and personal benefits of service, and that this unprecedented block of TV programming is the first wave of a multi-year Participate campaign.
	And this comes right on the...
	Actually, it's all coordinated because the president, our president, Barack Hussein Obama, was in Texas yesterday or two days ago.
	Of course, why would he be in the White House doing any actual work?
	And he spoke at the President Bush Sr.'s Points of Light Institute.
	And man, it's amazing.
	First, Obama's there like, you know, Bush is fantastic, he's awesome, and this is part of the whole you-will-serve-your-country vibe that was really a part of the Obama campaign.
	Yeah, since you can't find work.
	Yeah, yeah, essentially.
	But it was just kind of weird to have Obama really propping Bush and Bush propping Obama.
	Ideally, storylines will touch on one or more of the key issues that have outlined as the country's priorities for services.
	Well, somebody obviously can't write.
	One, education and children.
	Throw the children in there.
	And health and well-being, environmental conservation, and reduced energy consumption.
	That's the trinity, of course.
	Obama's trinity has always been education, health, and energy.
	Education, health, and energy.
	He keeps pounding those three points home.
	That's his main thing.
	And you know the funny thing was, the way he's handling it, if he had not done this bullshit crap in trade and tried to do this healthcare thing which is blowing up in his face and gone after education as his number one priority, the guy would be coasting right now.
	Yeah.
	No, in fact, education is getting the short end of it.
	Anyway, number four is economic development and financial security, which was one of his sub-points that he's used a few times, and then support for military families, which is obviously something to do with increasing the war.
	So that's the themes we'll be looking for in an upcoming episode.
	In everything!
	In everything you see everywhere.
	Let's listen to a little bit of the President's speech at the points.
	By the way, when Bush Sr., Walker Bush, Herbert Walker Bush, when he did his 1,000 Points of Light speech, the guy was ridiculed.
	Totally.
	Especially by the Democrats.
	Completely.
	Like, what a bonehead.
	Exactly.
	And now Obama is talking about a galactic universe of lights.
	Oh, it's okay now then.
	And her experience there inspired her to devote her own life to...
	It turns out that Michelle actually worked for the Points of Light Institution.
	There you go.
	Instructed to convey her gratitude today as well.
	It was a funny speech, by the way.
	He had good jokes.
	He's funny.
	He's got writers.
	George Bush isn't just a president who promoted the ethic of service long before it was fashionable.
	He's a citizen whose life has embodied that ethic.
	From his daring service as a Navy pilot during World War II, enlisting the day he turned 18, to his time in Congress, at the CIA, and as UN ambassador, vice president, and president, He easily could have chosen a life of comfort and privilege.
	No, he didn't choose that at all.
	Time and again, when offered a chance to serve, he seized it.
	It was second nature to him.
	The continuation of a proud family tradition that he and Mrs.
	Bush clearly passed on to their children.
	Yeah, it started with Prescott Bush's grandfather financing the Nazis.
	A fine family tradition.
	And one which he's carried on throughout his quote-unquote retirement.
	How's that working out, Ms.
	Bush?
	He's funny.
	He's funny.
	And by the way, I love it when he gives you information and then cracks a joke.
	That's when the information is soaked up by you.
	That's like a basic NLP Vulcan mind trick right there.
	Spends it working tirelessly to help others without fanfare or any expectation or desire for recognition.
	I do recall one endeavor of his that actually drew quite a bit of attention.
	That was back in 2005.
	And some of you may remember this.
	He and President Clinton had agreed to come together to raise money.
	That was the tsunami victim.
	So anyway, so this whole thing is preparing us basically through media indoctrination.
	So all your favorite shows will include, and I enlist our producers.
	I hereby enlist our producers.
	We do a lot of work, but even we can't cover this.
	We will not be able to do the work because it's just too much.
	You've got to get your DVRs on.
	You've got to be watching your favorite shows and watch for the clues.
	We've showed it to you many, many times how it works on Law& Order, CSI. What's your other favorite show, John?
	Well, Law and Order and CSI is where I've seen most of this sort of thing.
	The show, I like watching them.
	I mean, one of the shows that I will actually watch consistently is NCIS. NCIS, right.
	NCIS, of course, not CIA, but NCIS. But I haven't, the propaganda in there, the elements of propaganda have eluded me.
	Well, it's got to be starting right now.
	This is coordinated.
	The memo came out.
	It's going to be between the 16th and the 25th of October.
	The speech was on the 16th, so this started exactly on time.
	So in the coming two weeks, is it also sweeps week, by the way?
	Could it be the best?
	No, it's not sweeps, is it?
	No, I don't think so.
	It's going to be happening right now.
	Stay tuned to it.
	Be aware and record it if you can and let us know because you will see this popping up all over the place and it really shows that this is a continuation of Really, well, not just what 40, what do they call them, 41, what Bush Sr.
	did.
	Yeah, H.W. Yeah, he really started the you will service, you will, well, essentially.
	You will obey.
	It's the brown shirts, it's the whole deal.
	It's all coming together, right on plan, right on schedule.
	By the way, people always ask me what I use to record stuff like this off the air.
	I want to give them some tips on what to do.
	The device, if you want to get a...
	I mean, you can get actually...
	I-River has a pretty good device, but the device that you want to own everybody, and I wish you'd know, and this is not a commercial.
	We're not getting paid for this endorsement, but you want to get a Zoom H2. And a Zoom H2 is essentially a wave recorder.
	It also records with MP3s directly.
	And...
	It's a wave recorder, and you can essentially take your audio out from whatever device you're coming through.
	There's usually an extra couple of ports in the back, but find one of the audio ports.
	Sometimes you might have to get a left-right splitter.
	It's a little RCA plug that's stereo, a mini stereo plug on one side, and then it's got two RCA jacks on the back that plug into the left and right channel.
	That goes right into the H2 and you get a nice little stereo copy of whatever you want to record.
	And also the thing has four mics in it.
	So you can take this device and not plug anything into it but use it as a recorder with the microphones.
	And you can actually go to a concert, a rock band.
	You can put it right in the middle.
	You can do interviews with people.
	It's one of the finest devices ever produced and they're very inexpensive.
	They're around $150 at the most.
	And you can send us clips.
	Please do.
	Because even the amount of work we put into the show, we just can't cover all of it.
	But you're going to be seeing it.
	And it's painful.
	It's painful to have to watch this stuff.
	It really is.
	And we do it.
	We do it.
	We give up family time.
	John doesn't even live with his family.
	That's how dedicated he is to the show.
	You don't.
	You don't live with your family.
	And you know what, John is...
	Well, your family doesn't want to live with you.
	I know.
	I mean, it's kind of the same thing.
	Now you got it.
	But, no, John in particular, he spends a lot of his time watching this crap, fast-forwarding through...
	Well, I think NCIS he actually likes.
	Fast-forwarding through stuff.
	We watch C-SPAN all the time.
	Now C-SPAN 3, where all the cool stuff is.
	Yeah, I haven't actually gotten into C-SPAN 3 yet.
	And we're happy.
	We're proud to bring you this stuff.
	We love the interaction.
	We love your feedback.
	Reading email is...
	I spend at least an hour a day just on no agenda email.
	Just no agenda by itself.
	How about you, John?
	Wouldn't you say it's about that much?
	Probably more.
	And we don't take any advertising...
	Because, of course, that would screw up the whole idea of media assassination.
	Somebody sent us a no condemning us, saying, well, you work for Medio, and they take advertising, and he went on with this kind of...
	Look, the fact of the matter is we don't take advertising for a lot of different reasons.
	One of them is because we don't want the influence, A, and...
	It's separate from anything else we're doing, and we don't want the interruptions.
	If you listen to radio, if you listen to Rush Limbaugh, it's 20 minutes of Rush Limbaugh and 40 minutes of advertising.
	I mean, give me a break.
	It really is.
	Radio is the worst.
	They don't even do the right ratios.
	It's almost all yak, yak, and it goes on forever.
	I mean, you switch from channel to channel, they're on the same clock, so there's nothing but ads.
	And look at cable news as an example.
	Glenn Beck is against the pharmaceutical industry.
	Let's take a break.
	Boom, there's another ad from the pharmaceutical industry.
	So you've got to question this shit.
	And I don't want anyone questioning us.
	So we have some donors.
	How's that free Honda you got, John?
	That scooter?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, right.
	Alright, let's thank people who make this show possible.
	Daniel Scott, Fort Worth, Texas.
	$84.19.
	Do you have any idea what that means?
	$84.19.
	I didn't see a note from him.
	Okay, Jim Lunsford, on behalf of the gitmonationroundtable.mevio.com...
	Yeah, I got to listen to their show again.
	I dropped out for a couple weeks just due to time constraints, but it's stupid because I'm on the plane, I want to listen to something, and I completely forgot to hit my podcast downloader and get the latest show.
	Those guys do a pretty good job.
	It's very interesting.
	And when we get the radio stream really configured, which I'm hoping will be in the next couple of weeks, we haven't chosen a stream manager yet.
	John, I'm looking at you.
	Hi.
	I'm busy avoiding my family.
	Yeah.
	Not that hard.
	I think the Gitmo Nation Roundtable will be a fine addition to our family of programming that we're putting together.
	It's good.
	It's cool.
	Gitmonationroundtable.mevio.com.
	$50.01.
	Simon Smith, North Yorkshire.
	UK. We're getting some UK people.
	Good.
	Shane Brady, the vegan, who writes out vegan, he says pronounce it right, because I always say vegan.
	He was our executive producer.
	Yeah, Plattsburgh, Missouri, 101.50.
	So he's our vegan in residence now?
	I guess so.
	Okay.
	He can tell us what's going on with veggie burgers.
	And veggies in general, John.
	Have you had your veggies today?
	Yeah, I had my veggies.
	Fermented potatoes that have been distilled into a clear liquid drink.
	Laurie Corpy.
	Cool.
	John Petrucchini, who I think is a just I think this is a night thing.
	So he's got another 50. Louis Grana from Lausanne, Switzerland.
	Lausanne.
	Lausanne.
	I thought it was Luzan.
	I think it's Lozan.
	Lozan.
	I think maybe that's the way the Dutch pronounce it.
	Yes, probably.
	That's 50.
	Jerry Brace, the guy who came in second here from Newfoundland, and he wants us to...
	Oh, this is...
	I didn't get the pun at first, but he runs a company called Embraceware.com.
	$101.01.
	And his last name is Brace.
	Get it?
	Ah!
	I'm Braceware.
	Got it.
	Sterling Ellsworth, again, again, yet again.
	Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, 77.77.
	Ah, he's getting close.
	I love that.
	I love it.
	We have to count the number of sevens.
	Well, he can only do that seven times.
	He can do seven times a donation of 7777.
	He could do 77 times.
	He could.
	He might.
	Well, you never know.
	I don't care.
	I love it.
	Thank you.
	Thank you so much.
	The name's Sterling.
	He must have money.
	He's a Sterling fellow.
	Sander Hoeksbergen.
	Hoeksbergen.
	That's probably right.
	$70.
	How do you spell it?
	H-O-K-S-B-E-R-G-E-N is the way I have it.
	Hoxbergen.
	Yeah, Hoxbergen.
	He's Dutch.
	Yeah, he is Dutch.
	He's from Zandam.
	Z-A-A-N-D-A-M. That's Zandam.
	Zandam.
	Zandam.
	Okay.
	It's 50 cents a show, he says.
	That's $70.
	So if people out there want to give us 50 cents a show for all the shows we've done, that's $70.
	And then Asher Golden, if that's indeed his real name or her real name, I think as a man, maybe.
	Annandale, Virginia, $50.29, which also has some meaning, and I didn't get it.
	And then, of course, our East Coast research guy, and we have to give him the big kudos this week, and he owns the show.
	$850 on top of his previous donation, Kerry Lutz.
	And that makes him a knight.
	How many knights do we now have?
	Five.
	And he asked me to read a proclamation as a part of his knighthood.
	I can see this being the main thing that's going to happen.
	I was thinking maybe I should do a little bit of echo.
	If you can pull it off.
	Yeah, I can do it.
	Hold on.
	Let me just find my echo chamber here.
	Okay.
	One, two, two.
	Hey, oh.
	Why is it not working?
	Of course.
	Oh, that's density.
	I was doing the wrong thing here.
	Dry, wet.
	Two, two, two, two, two, two.
	One, two, two.
	How's that sound?
	Sounds like nothing.
	No, I got some real delay in there.
	I don't hear it.
	Ah, here we go.
	Oh, there we go.
	Now we're talking.
	On this day of October 18, 2009, I, Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, do hereby elevate Cary Lutz, by virtue of his tithe, to the Knights of the Round Table of the No Agenda Quango.
	While standing against the forces of corruption, governmental theft, and the erosion of the United States Constitution, the Knights fight a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way, as well as defending the rights of the masses to consume unlimited amounts of online porn.
	To attend strip clubs, to patronize hookers, to watch too much daytime television and Michael Jackson videos.
	The Knights have taken the Ayn Rand pledge to pursue all enemies of capitalism and to persecute the advocates of collectivism, no matter how high their perch.
	There is room at the round table for other would-be knights.
	You only have to log on to your PayPal account and click and send $1,000, and you too can take your rightful place at the helm of leading-edge thought and commentary.
	Nobility awaits you.
	He should have paid us by the hour.
	Yeah, really.
	This has been a long-ass show in general.
	Well, we've got to make sure to mention that the people should go to NoAgendaShow.com or Dvorak.org slash NA. And we need another round of donations.
	And if somebody else wants to become a knight, we'll read something.
	Let's not make it that long.
	I kind of liked it.
	Now I've got to get the echo off.
	You just like the echo.
	You just like hearing your own voice.
	Yes.
	Isn't that why we do the show in the first place, John, is just to hear our own voice?
	Well, you listen to the show more than I do.
	Anyway, noagendashow.com.
	Please help us out.
	We appreciate everybody.
	And all the people who subscribe to the $5 rate, too, we really appreciate that.
	And a lot of people, of course, give less than $50 or $100.
	And we really appreciate all of you.
	I mean, it's pain for keeping the show on the air, for sure.
	And we'd like to go to three shows a week.
	And we would like to get your feedback on whether Monday, Wednesday, and Friday would be acceptable or if you really do feel the Sunday show is a part of the church that you need to attend for your sanity and sanctity.
	I think it's better than the NFL church.
	Coming to you from the Minimum Containment Cell, which is securely located in the Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation, West San Francisco, California, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Cloudy Bay, or it appears to be so, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back here right on time, on schedule, on Thursday with another episode of No Agenda.
