Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 177.
This is no agenda.
Deconstructing MSMBS so you can get laid cocktail parties.
And apparently coming to you from my sickbed Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West in the Republic of California.
In the morning, everyone, I'm Adam Curry.
And here, printing out documents as I speak, I'm John C. DeVoy.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
In the morning to you.
In the morning to you.
We can't get this thing to work.
Yeah, I hear you.
Did you Twitter?
Yeah, I did.
I Twittered.
Oh, okay.
Good.
The place should be packed.
Yeah.
Let me make sure I hit the return key on Twitter.
Yeah, I think it looks like I did.
Yeah, those things, it does count if you do that, I'm told.
Oh, okay.
This flu thing I've got just won't quit.
Yeah, what's the deal?
I don't know.
It's not just me.
Lots of people have it.
You're hawking the whole time.
First you get this real congested head, and then it goes to your chest, and then you're coughing, and of course it either goes to your stomach straight away or...
You're screaming your stomach straight away.
Yeah, well, Nick at the office, he's been, like, down for...
Nick is always sick.
No, that's not true.
That's not true.
He's sick a lot.
Yeah, he's probably an alcoholic in hiding it.
I don't think so.
He's just sick.
He's living on Treasure Island.
Paradise Island.
Just the world's worst place is windy and cold.
Fantasy Island, I call it.
And there's a bunch of plutonium on there.
I was going to say, isn't that place built from debris from the big fire of San Francisco?
Part of it, yeah.
It was built in the 30s as an island to put on the World's Fair.
And...
And there's plutonium there?
How about depleted uranium?
Well, they turned it into a navy bay.
Here's the scenario.
First, it was built as a World's Fair island, so then it was just this great World's Fair, and all the buildings that were on the island, including what looks like an airport terminal, were designed to eventually become an airport terminal.
That's why it looks like an airport terminal.
It was determined by all the experts that everything was going to be a seaplane for all the flights to Japan and China.
Oh, wow.
And so this was going to be where they were going to launch these things, the seaplanes.
Really?
So you're telling me back in the 30s that they thought that it was all going to be seaplanes, that they wouldn't be landing on hard asphalt?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't know this part of aviation.
I didn't think a big giant plane could land on asphalt.
But I didn't know about this part of important aviation history.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
So anyway, so if you look at the Treasure Island, that one building that's in the front is the main terminal that was going to be the passenger terminal.
It looks like one if you think about it.
And it's been used by Spielberg in a couple of movies as the Nazi terminal in one of the Indiana Jones films.
That's right.
And then if you're driving across the bridge, you'll look and you'll see what is obviously hangers.
Yeah, it's true.
So people who don't know this, this is an island between...
It's off the Bay Bridge.
In fact, the Bay Bridge goes over it, doesn't it?
No, the Bay Bridge goes through an island that's always been there, the real island, which was called Goat Island because it had a bunch of goats on it.
And then they changed the name to Yerba Buena because nobody liked the idea of it.
I think it should just be Goat Island.
I like Goat Island better.
But anyway, so they changed it to Yerba Buena, and Treasure Island was attached to Yerba Buena, and it was essentially an artificial island.
It's a bogus island.
It was designed where they're going to have the World's Fair, which they had.
And then when World War II broke out, they had to confiscate the whole thing and give the whole thing to the Navy.
But originally it was designed to be a World's Fair, then the San Francisco International Airport, or as I would say, seaport, so all these big transatlantic seaplanes could land there and take off.
Right.
Now that I think about it, the Spruce Goose, of course, was a seaplane.
That was the largest plane ever built at the time.
Right.
Yeah.
Now, in the 30s, it was thought that when the planes are bigger, they can only land in the water, which has got to be a rough landing.
Oh, you know, I've landed a seaplane, and first of all, it's not trivial.
And yeah, when you come down on...
So the plane I was flying had to land at like 70 knots...
That's pretty fast when you land on the water.
Why don't you jump off your water skis going like 70 knots and see how the water feels?
Yeah, or just get in a fast boat and see how unpleasant it is.
And if it's choppy, you ain't landing.
That's the basic downside of seaplanes.
So anyway, so that was the original plan.
And all that's left of it, of course, is now the Navy took it over and they kind of dropped plutonium in the upper...
There's one area.
They supposedly cleaned it up.
But yeah.
So I think we should revert Yerba Buena back to its original name of Goat Sea Island.
Yeah, there you go.
And by the way, Yerba Buena became the Coast Guard Station and then Treasure Island became the Navy Station.
Shall we talk about the producers for, or producer, executive producer, I don't know if we have one or more, for episode 177 of No Agenda, John?
I'm trying to get the printout so I can do that, but I can't.
Oh, that's why you were delaying.
While you're working on the printout.
I can do it, I can do it.
I can read it off the screen.
Oh, what a concept.
Alright, we got two executive producers and the...
Equal footing?
Sorry?
Equal footing?
No.
No, one's an executive and one's an associate.
Okay.
And the executive producer, let me scroll up.
Are you sitting in your underwear laying back with the keyboard on your lap again?
No, I just have a mouse in my pocket.
The...
Executive producer is Randy Carlson of Pahrump, Nevada, which is known for being a funny name town, and apparently there's some hookers there.
So good for him.
Well, hold on a second.
I'm saying road trip.
Wait a minute, it's donated on behalf of Catherine L.L. Girard, obviously a Catholic girl with the two Midland names.
Catherine L.L. Girard has a birthday gift.
And he actually gives the birth date and the money is $2.23 is her birthday.
And then he has so many cents.
I am not going to...
Knowing women don't like the year of birth announced on radio or broadcast on the internet all over the world, I'm going to leave that out.
Okay, good call.
Yes, but Randy should have also left it out, but this is Catherine L.L. Girard.
She'll be the executive producer of this show, and he gave us $223, and some sense that indicates her birthday.
Okay, so I'm taking Randy's name off, and Catherine L.L. Girard will be the executive producer, correct?
Yes, that's right.
Oh, fantastic.
Well, great, and happy birthday.
That's what he was.
Oh, wow.
And do they have a website, Anderson Limited?
I got no other information.
That's it?
Do you have information or is that on the printout?
No, that's it.
I got their address, but that's about it.
Okay, well, thank you very much.
Catherine L.L. Girard being our executive producer for episode 177 of No Agenda and Anderson Limited in Hong Kong.
It is you, entities.
Who actually make this program possible, along with our other donors, which we'll talk about later.
And as you know, you can put this on your resume.
I think Aniston Limited can put it on their tax filing as executive producer.
They don't pay a lot of taxes in Hong Kong, I don't think.
You know, I had a stroke of genius last night.
As I'm sweltering in my sickbed, I have the perfect idea for knighthoods.
And I don't know if we have any knights coming up on Sunday, but right now we have, what is it, about 15 knights, I'd say?
That's about 15, 16.
And of course, knights are people who have donated $1,000 or more to the show.
I have the perfect idea.
You know, I used to live next door to the number one sales guy for the Jostin's Ring Company.
And I'm thinking we need an awesome ring that if you're a knight, you get this ring, and it should be like one of those, like a seal ring.
What do you call it?
Navy seals.
No, not Navy seals.
You know, you put into wax.
Do you think anybody would wear this thing?
Oh yeah!
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
Dude!
I mean, listen, you've got high school rings, college rings, Super Bowl rings, World Series rings.
You've got all kinds of rings.
Rings are a really big deal.
And if you wear the...
Look, I'll wear a ring, and then if you see someone else with a ring, you're in the brotherhood.
I think this is a great idea.
Okay.
You know how we're going to do this, by the way, about the rings?
We're going to poll the knights themselves.
Okay.
And if the knights like it, if they think it's a good idea, then we'll get them rings, and then we need to have a design.
I'm thinking maybe ITM or something like that in calligraphy.
I think Paul T should do it.
Well, I'm sure someone will do it.
I think the founding knights should also vote on the ring logo, the ring design.
Yeah, well, absolutely.
And it'll have a secret decoder message in it.
And it'll come in a plastic bubble.
That you can't open without a bunch of tin shears.
Yeah, exactly.
Without a blowtorch.
Exactly.
Alright, so that's our executive producers, and they can use it on their resumes and should.
Absolutely.
In fact...
And this is the last few days, by the way, we're setting, we're doing, a lot of people, of course, are founding producers for the No Agenda stream as it's being re-engineered.
And those people, of course, will be enshrined on a website.
Most email story, or actually link of the week...
It's from this website, xkcd.com.
Where there's this, and it's in the show notes, noagendashow.com, and it's this stick figure cartoon.
I don't know if you got it or not, but I think at least 50 people emailed it to me.
It's where there's this hostage situation, and there's a stick figure with a gun on the phone saying, we took the hostages, secured the building, and cut the communication lines like you said, and then the second screen.
But then this guy climbed up the ventilation ducts and walked across broken glass, killing anyone we sent to stop him.
And then on the phone, someone says, and he rescued the hostages?
And then the final screen is, no, he ignored them.
He just reconnected the cables we cut, muttering something about uptime.
Shit, we're dealing with a sysadmin, it says.
And I recognized once again how many sysadmins and people who keep the internet running we have in our audience.
It's pretty huge.
And they're doing good stuff in Australia.
Again, we're not suggesting this, but boy, wouldn't it be funny?
In Australia, hackers took over the traffic signs and did a big Kevin Rudd sucks, which I think is so awesome.
I'm not suggesting anyone do that in the morning, noagendashow.com.
Noagendashow.com would be what you want.
It seems to be possible.
This is the kind of thing that Caltech grads were known for forever.
Caltech has a reputation of practical jokes that are not only elaborate, but sometimes five or ten years in the making.
They'll set up a situation, usually at football games, where all of a sudden this screen will go blank and it will have, say, a USC game.
And it will say Caltech 54 USC nothing on the screen.
Right, right, right.
Caltech has no football team.
But they'll do it in such a way that they plan these things.
So in other words, one of the things you always want to do if you want to get into a system is you do it years in advance.
You put some sort of a junction box into the place that stays there and see if anybody notices it.
And then after it's been there for a couple of years because nobody noticed that you've installed this thing, then you can take it out and start putting stuff into it.
And they'll do this kind of very elaborate prank.
And a lot of these people are the sysop mentality.
Sydney police are baffled how the political protesters hacked into the road signs controls in Leafy Rose Bay in Sydney.
Locals have been stopping their cars to take photographs and the signs causing such a major distraction.
Police were called in at 3 a.m.
And there's this picture.
A cheeky protest using an illuminated traffic sign to target Kevin Rudd proved a traffic stopper in Sydney until police arrived with bolt cutters to turn off the power.
So these guys like locked it down.
It's fantastic.
It's really good.
I just love that stuff.
Absolutely.
That's really good.
And I'm looking over all the news today, John, and I'm like, oh my God, there is so much.
There's way too much, and it's going to make the show kind of weird, but I want to start off with something that is important.
It's a trend.
I think it has the potential to be big in some sick way, although maybe it's not sick.
Although it might, I don't know.
It depends.
I don't know what to make of it.
But you're down in Los Angeles.
You probably know about this trending situation.
Ah.
You know about the jazzling, right?
About what?
Aha!
I didn't hear you.
The jazzling?
No, I don't know about the jazzling.
I'm not trendy like you, John.
It's not a matter of me being trendy.
I have people who are keeping up with these things.
I can't necessarily do it.
But my son Eric apparently can.
So I just sent you a link to the, I think, the genesis of this whole thing, even though I think it began before this.
But Jennifer Love Hewitt was on.
Oh, okay.
Want me to play it or want me to wait?
You want to set it up?
Okay.
Jennifer Love Hewitt talks about, oh, vajizzling.
Oh, you didn't pronounce it right.
Oh, yeah, that's what it is.
Yeah.
Even though it's pronounced vajazzling.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Well, I vajizz, you vajazz, okay?
Helped you through a tough time.
Well, there's a chapter in there that I think you'll like.
Is this people who say vajayjay?
Is that what this is about?
Yeah, I bet it is.
And it's called Vajazzling.
And it's all about...
It's called what?
Vajazzling.
And I... After a breakup, a friend of mine, Swarski, crystalled my precious lady.
And it shined like a disco ball.
And so I have a whole chapter in there about how women should vajazzle their...
The JJs.
Okay.
Alright.
So this is the trend.
Yeah, I think so.
I think this is like some sort of thing.
It's just started to crop up in January as something that is a replacement for people who like to make creative, let's say, designs around their private parts.
But does this involve piercing?
No, no, no.
This involves painful gluing.
Really?
Yeah.
And there's a couple of things.
In the show notes, I'll send you the link.
I was going to send it earlier, but then I wouldn't have caught you off guard since you're trying to do that to me all the time.
Well, this is clearly real news.
Oh, yeah.
Duh.
Well, hold on.
Let me set it up.
And now, back to real moments.
I actually...
You know, it's interesting that you bring this up, because there's a couple other things, and this is...
And actually, it's pretty important...
That we discuss this, although it seems somewhat trivial.
And this came to me, I think it was Tanya from New York, one of our producers, I could be wrong, who sent me this sketch, sketch, sketch, sketch, this skit.
I'm really, I'm sick, man.
John Oliver, he works on The Daily Show.
Right.
He has an HBO special, or maybe it's a Comedy Central special or whatever.
And he had this comedian on, Chris Hardwick.
And Chris Hardwick, you'd think the guy is actually listening to our show when you hear this routine.
It's just a minute or so.
But it plays right into this and something else that cropped up on the radar screen.
Because, you know...
As we'll get into later in the show, the entire world is basically crumbling before our very eyes.
Europe is on the brink of disaster.
We wonder who's going to bring them back from the financial abyss that they're peering into.
We've got the debt ballooning out of control in the United States.
The police are clamping down.
Your cell phones are being tapped.
But what happens?
We get this real news.
And we joke about it.
But when Chris Hardwick, this comedian, lays into it, it really makes you think.
It's one of our memes.
It's our meme.
It's totally our meme, but I like the way he portrayed it.
Let's have a listen.
The other thing that is quite possibly the lifeblood of America, that's right, I didn't say America, I said America!
Apostrophe?
America!
Is our incessant fascination with the tabloids, Like, it's insane how much...
Do you guys follow the tabloids?
You care?
Or are your lives enriched by relationships and family and things like that?
It seems like we're...
It's so crazy that we're so obsessed with what a bunch of, like, drunken, f***ed-up starlets want to do with their lives.
But the more these celebutants f*** up, the more we...
Yeah, by the way, I guess it was Comedy Central because they've bleeped out all the F-words.
You seem to love them.
Oh, the Britney Spears of the world.
Oh, they're adorable, like pets.
You know, I really keep hoping that all these celebutantes are not real people, you guys.
I really hope they're a part of some government-funded conspiracy that's devised to divert our attention away from serious shit they don't want us to know about.
Like if someone ran into the president's office and said, Mr.
President, Mr.
President, there's a housing crisis.
The banks are in the toilet.
What do we do?
All right, we need a media diversion.
Call in the slut squad when they run in.
All right, Lindsay Lohan, I need footage of you on a guy on a camera phone.
I want it!
All right.
Britney, I need you to shave your snizz and wag it around in a movie premiere.
I don't think I can do that!
Goddammit, soldier, you knew this job was difficult when you took it.
Now man up and lose those panties.
All right, Paris Hilton, I need you to speak publicly.
And it really makes me wonder, like, you know, there probably always were presidential diversions, you know, like, Because the president has that power.
But even throughout history, that probably occurred.
Like, for instance, if Lincoln had been gay, do you think we ever would have known?
Like, if there was some sort of a press conference?
President Lincoln, there are rumors that you're a homosexual.
Would you like to comment on that, sir?
Oh, really?
Uh...
Well...
Slaves are free!
Slaves are free!
Yep, off you go!
Slaves are free!
Oh my god, did you just free the slaves?
Oh, I don't know, did I? Because I've been shot!
Yep, I've been shot in the head.
Just a straight man trying to enjoy the theater.
And we've talked about this so many times, and it's just true!
Yeah, in fact, I have another clip there, coincidentally, but I just want to do reiterate, by the way, for everyone listening to the show, this vajazzling thing is going to, I know eventually it's going to show up on Oprah, and it's going to be a huge thing, and everyone's going to be wanting to do this.
And everyone's going to be talking about it.
It's all it's going to be about, is about vajazzling.
And before you get to your clip...
The Netherlands, Gitmo Nation lowlands.
So what do we talk about just on Sunday?
The government fell, okay?
There's a governmental crisis.
They've got a devout anti-integration, anti-Muslim guy who is, you know, his party is bound to win the entire elections waiting in the wings.
And then what happens?
Their number one skater, Sven...
Yeah, I know this is the big news now.
This is the news of the day.
So he's on the 10K skates competition in the Olympics, and his coach accidentally...
Coincidence?
I think not!
He accidentally says, oh, he pulls him into the wrong lane, he gets disqualified.
And the whole country is like in a depression.
The great-grandchildren of the Queen, the little princes and princesses, are making little drawings to cheer Sven up because he's so depressed.
And this is all that the news is about.
The whole cabinet crisis is gone.
No one's talking about it.
I know, it's amazing.
Now, the clip I have, which is, I don't know why this is even on the air, but some woman named Jessica, I don't know who she is, she's one of the news anchors, took over the 360 show, which is kind of in combination news.
Yeah, I saw her last night.
She's horrible.
I saw her for like three seconds.
She's horrible.
So she cuts to the emergency, you know, this is a breaking news, this is the 360, and she cuts to another correspondent, another woman, Who's another dingbat, by the way.
These two are just ridiculous.
And so I want to show you this is exactly the way they portray.
First they have like one news story that's kind of important and then they have another news story that kind of is a throwback.
It really doesn't mean that much.
There's about four news stories and then they finish up with the The unbelievable kicker, which is a completely made-up, real news story, because even as they explain it, you'll see.
And then the two girls, the two women, get giddy over this.
The clip's about a minute and twenty, but it's like this is a classic example of what the news media is now feeding the public.
It is pathetic.
Let's get the latest now on some other important stories we're following.
Breonna Keeler joins us with a 360 bulletin.
Hey, Breonna.
Hi there, Jessica.
360 follow in a case we've been following for years.
A former New Orleans police officer accused of covering up two fatal shootings in the days following Hurricane Katrina today pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice.
Federal investigators say former Lieutenant Michael Lohman knew that two people killed by police officers on a bridge were unarmed, but filed false reports to hide the facts.
One of the victims was a 40-year-old mentally disabled man.
The brother of former Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan was released on bond.
Mark Kerrigan is charged with assault and battery in the death of his father last month.
He's pleaded not guilty.
Kerrigan must wear a tracking device and can leave his home only to visit his lawyer.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney is out of the hospital two days after suffering a mild heart attack, his fifth in roughly three decades.
His spokesman said 69-year-old Cheney will resume his normal schedule soon.
And word tonight that Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown has agreed to face off on a basketball court.
With President Obama, this invitation actually coming from the mayor of Springfield, Massachusetts, where basketball was invented more than a century ago.
And Jessica, the White House is studying this offer.
Some face-off it would be, huh?
That's got to be the hottest basketball ticket in town.
I can't listen to it anymore.
I guess you just play the end of it.
I would play in that one, and I can't play ball.
Can you play ball?
No, and I don't love basketball, but that is a game I would surely watch.
Okay, thanks, Brianna.
Because I love watching big black men all sweaty.
And coming up still on 360.
This is horrible.
I need to get to some actual news to tell people what's actually happening in the world, which is what we're here for.
I don't give a shit!
This is a publicity stunt for this town.
Obama's people never said crap about it.
This is never going to happen.
It's stupid.
But these two women are all gaga over the whole thing.
I just thought it was like, what is wrong with these?
Who's producing this show?
Alright, let me just give it to you real quick and then we have to move on because it's going to drive me crazy.
The distraction of the week on No Agenda.
So here's the real distraction of the week.
This will be on the news for the entire week.
You can mark my words.
We're going to be right about it.
We told you so.
Hilary Duff, a series of pictures.
If you have not seen this, it will be in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
First you see here, and this is all paparazzi pictures, conveniently taken with a telephoto lens as she's standing by the window, because, of course, she's a part of the slut squad, the presidential slut squad, and they needed a big distraction from everything.
So her boyfriend, Mike, was it Comrie?
He's a hockey player.
He proposes to her.
You can see him on one knee.
He's handing a ring.
Her hands are in her mouth.
Ooh!
Then she goes to the balcony...
And she has this rock, which is like the size of my eyeball.
And she's taking pictures of it with her cell phone.
And then the next picture, she's blowing the guy out on the balcony.
It's like, and what are we teaching our kids?
You want to rock like this?
You blow your boyfriend.
If you get a rock that big, you'd better.
Exactly.
That's what I was telling Mickey this morning.
If I ever give you a ring like that, you better be blowing me.
Well, you know, the slut squad's got to up the 80 every so often.
They really do.
And I think she deserves a congressional medal of honor for this.
All right.
Let's stop this, because you're going to freaking kill me with this stupid stuff.
Nigel Farage is, of course, from the UK Independent Party, and we don't do enough European news here, although next week I'll be in Gitmo Nation Lowlands and Gitmo Nation East on a fact-finding mission, visiting my daughter, basically.
Oops.
YouTube has pre-rolls now.
That's interesting.
So Nigel Farage is a member of the UK Independent Party and he's in the European Parliament, part of the EU, and he gets up And he berates this unelected farce of a president of the United States of Europe, Hermann von Rompuy, as some people would call him.
This is this weasel guy who all of a sudden showed up.
No one knows who he is.
He's now the president, the most powerful man in Europe.
At least in title.
Unelected.
Unelected.
He calls the shots.
He's running the Starfleet command over there.
And Nigel, I just love what he did.
This is just about a minute, but listen to what he does and listen to the responses.
And you have to see the video, because this guy looks like he's taken a dump when this is happening.
He's like, oh, I didn't bargain for this.
He's from Belgium, by the way.
You have the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk.
And the question that I want to ask, the question that I want to ask, that we're all going to ask, is who are you?
I'd never heard of you.
Nobody in Europe had ever heard of you.
I would like to ask you, President, who voted for you?
And what mechanism?
Oh, I know democracy is not popular with you lot.
And what mechanism do the peoples of Europe have to remove you?
Is this European democracy?
Well, I sense.
I sense, though, that you're...
This is Barrasso trying to calm everybody down.
Like, Mr. ...competent and capable and dangerous.
And I have no doubt that it's your intention to be the quiet assassin of European democracy and of the European nation states.
You appear to have a loathing for the very concept of the existence of nation states.
Perhaps that's because you come from Belgium, which, of course, is pretty much a non-country.
But since you took over, we've seen Greece reduced to nothing more than a protectorate.
Sir, you have no legitimacy in this job at all, and I can say with confidence that I can speak on behalf of the majority of the British people in saying, we don't know you, we don't want you, and the sooner you're put out to grass, the better.
I love that guy.
God, talking about laying it into the guy.
We need to send him a No Agenda night ring.
Totally.
I mean, it's so good because it really, and we talked about this on Sunday, it really feels like the wheels are coming off this thing, like all these elitists and bankers who, it's their generation, their turn to move the agenda one step forward towards everything.
Essentially the new world order.
But they're greedy.
They're like, you know, it can happen in our lifetime.
We don't want it to be our kids.
We want to do it.
We want to rule the world.
And they're going too fast.
And they don't have it under control.
And now, you know, the European Union is really on the brink of collapse.
Wall Street Journal even reporting...
That Spain, now that Greece is basically bankrupt and dead, it could be Spain that will determine whether the euro stands or falls.
As they now have, you know, 19% unemployment rate, which I presume is the same phony numbers we have in the U.S., so maybe it's closer to 30%.
The housing bubble exploded, huge debts, gaping budget deficit, and if they can't make it, then the euro could essentially just fall apart and with it the entire union.
And what's going to happen then?
Is everyone going to go back to their own currency and try and revive their economies?
I have no idea.
I think they're going to be in a heap of trouble.
I mean, it's going to make our situation look like, you know, no big deal.
Yeah.
Because that's a convoluted mess over there.
I mean, essentially, for one thing, they've taken out...
There's no more borders.
Nope.
So you can drive around.
Although that's not entirely true.
If you go to the United Kingdom, where you're supposed to not have to even need to show your passport anymore, the United Kingdom stands there and basically berates you and doesn't let you in unless you show your verjazzling.
That's the only place.
But if you're driving around on the continent...
Well, there's the Schengen Accord.
There's this separate accord, which is the Schengen Agreement.
And if you're not in the Schengen Agreement, then you have to show your passport.
So it's not entirely true.
Where do you show it?
I've driven from country to country, and that little booth that used to be there is abandoned.
There's a couple of countries.
UK is one of them that's not in the Schengen agreement.
UK is an island.
I'm not counting them, and they haven't changed their currency either.
UK is very reluctant to do anything.
I'm talking about driving around the continent from France to Spain, from Belgium to Netherlands.
You drive right through.
Yeah, true.
True.
Oh, John, I teased you with this yesterday.
And I want to tell you, lest I forget.
So you came to the studio yesterday to do Cranky Geeks.
Which, by the way, great episode if you haven't seen it with Chris DeBona from Google.
I love that guy.
He's awesome.
He doesn't give a shit.
He just says, yeah, Google's evil.
He almost says that.
He never said that.
He almost says that.
We'll never get him on the show.
He almost says that.
But he's jokingly like, you know, I like the guy.
He loves Google.
He's like a Google nut.
Yeah, but that's what's cool about it.
He's on the open source side.
He's not on the Gitmo side.
Anyway, regardless.
And you were bitching and moaning about the entire block being cordoned off that you couldn't park anywhere.
Yeah, no, the block is cordoned off completely from end to end.
What street is it?
Bryant or Brannon or someone's, whatever street that is.
I think it's Brannon.
Brannon.
It's all just completely blocked off on both sides with little signs on every parking meter.
Do not park, do not park.
I figured they were going to haul some building through and they needed every lane they could have or the president was coming into town or something.
But you knew you found out and you wouldn't tell me.
Because I wanted to mention it on this show because this is the ultimate Gitmo Nation exercise that is taking place in San Francisco, California, the Republic of.
Here's what's happening.
They are installing a sensor on every single parking meter to see if you have driven off or not.
What for?
So they can reset it?
You're not allowed to fill up the meter and keep filling it up.
There's a limit.
Oh, so they're looking.
Oh, brother.
Yep.
And I found this out yesterday.
I bet you there's two things that are going to happen.
One, you're not supposed to.
In San Francisco, there's a law.
Basically, they don't want you parking in San Francisco.
They don't want you coming to San Francisco.
They hate you.
Do not go to San Francisco as a tourist.
Never visit because they don't want you.
Stay away.
They don't like you.
Stay away.
Go.
We don't want you.
There's so many bums on the street begging for money, and the parking in front of the Mevio offices, for example, get this, five minutes for 25 cents in a parking meter.
Right, with a maximum of what, 50 minutes?
No, I think 30, or it's either 30 or one hour, depending.
Most of them are 30, but whatever the case is, by the time you put your last quarter in, you've lost the first five minutes.
Yeah, and then, so now what they have, they have a sensor, and if your vehicle doesn't move within that limited time, which is 30 minutes, i.e.
you've gone back to fill it up, then the freaking electric cart with the meter maid comes by, and they ticket you or tow you, and they're going to have a sensor on every single parking meter.
This is from the state that is bankrupt.
And by the way, this is expensive for the town that is broke.
They can't afford this.
And the money's not going to the town anyway.
It's going to a private company.
Right, it's a private company that does all this stuff.
And you can't fight these tickets because it's a private company.
If you go to court, they say, I don't know, it's a private company.
Because they've outsourced all their parking meter crap.
The thing is that in San Francisco, it's illegal to park in a spot and then refill the meter.
In other words, if you put in an hour and you can't go put another hour, you've got to move, you've got to get out of there.
And it's unbelievably ridiculous.
It's like discouraged.
It's bad for business is what the real problem is.
Why are people parking there?
They're not parking there because they live there.
There's not that much residential, especially further up the street.
There's none.
There is back in the back part, but people have parking spots because there's underground parking for the residents.
The point is they don't want you coming to this town.
They hate you.
San Francisco is the worst, most unfriendly place in the world.
Do not visit it.
John C. Devorak And that wasn't even my pet peeve.
We'll get to it.
Let's do something that's fun for everyone at home.
We're going to play a game.
Yes, we are.
We're going to play a fun little game.
And you can play this with me, John, as well.
So, of course, we are the program that exposes the stupidest things in the world.
And we were all over Recovery.gov.
The main offense being that it cost $18 million to put this website together in what appeared to be almost a no-bid contract.
Total sham.
Total freaking sham.
Now, I want you, everyone, play along now.
Go to recovery.gov, and I want you to see what your $18 million buys you.
John, are you at recovery.gov?
No, not yet, but I'm going there now.
You are going to crap yourself when you hear this.
Now, of course...
Part of the mandate for this $18 million website is that it has to be accessible to the blind, which, by the way, is a very difficult thing to do because typically you start out with a website and then you create something and then all of a sudden you get a lot of emails and people say, hey man, it seems like you're doing something really cool but my screen reader can't parse it and then you have to go back and re-engineer stuff and it's a huge pain It's very difficult.
Mainly because of things like Ajax and Java and all those things.
It's very difficult to make these.
In the olden days, with straight HTML, it was doable.
Now it's impossible.
Recovery.gov.
Everyone in the chat room, play along.
You'll love this.
Now go to Contact Us, which is the menu bar at the top, and you click it, and then you get a page.
Are you there?
Yes.
Well, wait a minute.
I get a menu that says report fraud.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Click on report fraud, waste, and abuse.
And you'll come to a page that says blah, blah, blah, blah.
One of the core missions of the Recovery Board is to prevent fraud, waste, and mismanagement of recovery funds, which would be the use of the $18 million for this freaking website.
So it says submit a complaint form electronically.
Do you see that link?
Yeah.
Click on the link.
Okay?
Now there's a complaint form.
Yeah, I see the complaint form.
Okay.
It says complaint form.
Right.
Now if you go all the way down to the bottom, there is a CAPTCHA box.
And CAPTCHAs, of course, are meant so that people don't spam this form and they want to make sure there's an actual human being on the other end.
Yeah.
Now, of course, mine says, I have two words, Carnover and then capital S-T. Yeah, mine is broth and rest something.
So for $18 million, if you are blind or visually impaired, you will then click on the little speaker.
Right, get an audio challenge.
Listen to this.
Please type every word you hear with a space between each word.
Don't worry if you have trouble with some words.
Just enter your best guess.
Now listen to you.
Our speed doesn't fit into this picture.
I wouldn't...
Once again, the words are...
Now listen to you.
Our speed doesn't fit into this picture.
I wouldn't...
These are like movie quotes.
I know!
And I'll refresh it and there's a new movie quote.
Listen, I'm going to get...
Hey, listen.
A new one.
Don't worry if you have trouble with some words.
Just enter your best guess.
And see if you're still willing to join our force.
Once again, the words are...
And see if you're still willing to join our force.
Every single time, it's like a movie quote that you can't understand, and you're supposed to, like, type all those words in if you're blind?
Unbelievable.
Wait, let me do it again.
Let's get another one.
Please type every word you hear with a space between each word.
Don't worry if you have trouble with some words.
just enter your best guess.
*ding* *ding* *ding* *ding* What the fuck is that?
*ding* *ding* Please enter your best job phone!
It's not even stopping!
Once again, the words are...
This is absolutely pathetic.
So I can't even complain about the complaint that I have, because I can't get the capture right.
Listen to this.
This is the Vic Kundra, by the way.
Yes, I could play this.
This is tree logic.
I could play this all day.
Here, let's do one more.
Don't worry if you have trouble with some words.
Just enter your best guess.
Like the fly in the real China Clipper.
The real Clipper.
Once again, the words are...
What the fuck?
Like the fly in the real China Clipper.
The real Clipper.
The real Clipper.
I mean, this is $18 million for this.
Thank you.
This is unbelievable.
By the way, you win today's show.
Admittedly, this is a plug-in from ReCAPTCHA.
So it's not necessarily an issue with Recovery.gov.
No, but come on.
It's a third-party service, but geez, Louise.
This is crazy.
It's beyond pathetic.
But that's our government at work.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought you'd like that.
Yeah.
It's because of the binary.
So on the...
On the big news radar.
This is a form of skip jumping.
Tree logic.
Cobol.
It works like a charm.
Vivek Kundra, you fraud.
I mean, doesn't anyone test this stuff?
Don't they have QA? I bet you there was like five million bucks in the budget for QA. No doubt about it.
Or something.
So here's what just like all of a sudden it was there and now of course we're talking about vajazzling but the beauty bomber pleaded guilty.
Did you see any of this, John?
I don't know anything about the Beauty Bomber.
Are you kidding me?
No.
Oh my God.
This is the guy who was like a driver, like a minivan driver in Colorado, and he was caught on camera.
Oh, that guy.
Yeah, and they were going to blow up the New York subway system.
Yeah, and so he pleaded guilty to three counts, conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiracy to commit murder in a foreign country, and providing material to support a terrorist organization.
Now, there was a plea bargain, the details of which were sealed for some unbelievable reason.
The guy just admitted immediately, this doesn't sound like Al-Qaeda.
What happened to the, you know, he's like, yep, I did it.
I did it.
The whole thing is weak.
He's like, what?
What?
It makes absolutely no sense.
And then Eric Holder comes out and like, well, you know, everyone would have been blown up, we would be killed, it would be horrible, and we got him!
And just in time to renew the three expiring provisions of the Patriot Act.
Oh, you think there's a coincidence?
Well, yeah, we already pegged that.
I think not!
We already pegged that as this was what it was going to be used for.
But I mean, it makes no sense.
And of course, his family was in the courtroom, so they probably threatened to crush his kids nuts or something, which seems to be on par for the course.
But it's just like, wow, this is unbelievable.
And you didn't even hear about it?
No, I did hear about it.
In fact, the thing that didn't connect with me is Beauty Bomber.
Yeah, he was the guy who they...
And he says, well, he was trained here.
He said he learned how to make explosives at the camp in...
Where was he?
In Pakistan, northwest Pakistan.
And emailed himself bomb-making instructions.
So what you're telling me...
Why did he have to do that?
I know.
So what they're telling me is that he has to go to Northwest Pakistan, and they then tell him, okay, here's the instructions.
Email them to yourself in case you forget.
You have to go to the beauty supply shop, and you have to go get peroxide.
It just makes no sense.
Yeah, to say the least.
Alright.
Okay, so I've got...
We'll let that one go.
I think I've found a...
You know how we...
Our theory is that networks are run by one organization.
We can't really figure out who...
And there may be actually competitive organizations at work trying to set us up for certain kinds of things in the future.
And one of the things that I've noticed is that the Republicans don't have a candidate besides Sarah Palin.
And at the CPAC meeting, as we noted last week, it turns out that most of the conservatives that actually showed up for the thing wanted Ron Paul.
And we can't have that.
Just explain CPAC again for our...
The Conservative Political Action Convention.
Convention.
Every year they have it.
And everybody goes there to speak and all the conservatives, you know, whatever.
It's basically like a pep rally for Republicans.
For Conservative Republicans in particular.
Yeah, but it's hard for people outside of the United States.
It's hard for Americans to understand what a conservative is.
Right.
So anyway, so there's this battle going on because Mitt Romney looks like the leading candidate.
Sarah Palin is not getting any traction, even though I think they want to run her so she can lose.
And then you have Ron Paul, which they do not want to even talk about.
Yeah, and he got the magic number, 30% of the votes.
Yeah.
And everybody else was way down.
So I'm thinking, well, you know, what else can they try?
And what could maybe one of the, you know, at least one of the power-broken families, one of the, you know, first families of the U.S., one of the monarch families?
Oh, don't tell me it's going to be Cheney.
No, Cheney's too sick.
He just had a harsh...
No, no, no, I mean Liz.
Liz Cheney.
Oh, no, Liz Cheney, I think she's on...
Liz Cheney's on the schedule.
But this one here is the real agenda, and it's expressed by Chris Matthews.
And listen to the way he handles somebody who comes up with another name that's obviously not on the agenda.
Where Republicans go next.
And Jeb Bush very much does not want Republicans to go in the direction of Charlie Crist, toward the center.
He wants to sort of preserve a very strong conservative party.
So I think he's trying to influence that debate, and part of that influencing is, of course...
So the name is Jeb Bush.
Exactly.
Oh my God.
Of all the people in the world, of all the people in America, we have to go back to that family again?
Criticizing Obama and suggesting a more conservative alternative to Obama.
Let me think of this in personal terms, Alex.
It seems to me that a common-sense person will say that Sarah Palin is unprepared to be president at this point, will probably be unprepared in two years, given she won't have any more public government experience in that time.
She quit the governorship of Alaska.
She's very attractive in terms of her campaigning ability, but no strength as a governing record.
And you've got Jeb Bush, who may have strength as a governing record, but not a great campaigner.
There is an opening in the center right of the Republican Party between Palin being perhaps on the irresponsible right, you might argue.
The center might argue.
And the other guy, Mitt Romney, being too responsible.
You may want somebody with some racing stripes.
Somebody who looks exciting out there.
What about Jeb Bush coming back in, seizing the opportunity, mounting the galloping horse of history here, and running against Barack Obama next time?
Well, sure.
I think you've heard, Chris, in the last couple of days, this sort of groundswell of interest in Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, who sort of fits a similar profile to one that you're talking about with Jeb Bush.
Very conservative, very policy-oriented, sort of a friendly, happy face.
But Bush would be just a rock star in a way that Daniels would not.
Thank you.
Oh, man.
That's unbelievable.
We've had 30 years of Bush Clinton.
What, 40 years almost?
Play the rest of it, and then you can see what...
Before you play the rest of it, you've got to remember, the comment that you're about to hear is coming from a guy with the name Chris Matthews, talking about a guy named Daniels as though...
Well, you'd play it.
Why'd you bring up Mitch Daniels?
It's boring me already.
It's boring me.
The very name of Mitch Daniels sounds boring.
We'll be right back with Alex Burns.
I'm sorry, Alex Burns sounds fine to me.
Perry Bacon sounds...
Mitch Daniels, give me a break.
Oh, yeah.
And you know what?
He's right, though.
That's how we choose presidents.
They have to have an exciting name like Obama.
Oh, that's novel!
Oh, that's really good!
Oh, that's lovely!
Speaking of Obama...
So anyway, I want everyone to stay on the lookout for this one.
That's a definite meme.
Well, you know, and I think that we've proven time and time again that all of the news media is run by the same group.
And so Fox News is no different.
It's just giving you something to, you know, like a left-right.
You know, it's like, oh, these guys are against those guys.
Yeah, and they're run by the same group, which we think is pretty much the same people who are just the Democrats.
And people always go nuts when I say that.
I say, what?
The Democrats?
No, this is run by the Republicans.
No, no, it's the same.
It's the same people.
Here's one that blew me away.
Have you seen the new logo for our Missile Defense Agency, John?
Are you sure this is a real logo or part of a contest?
Go to www.mda.mil, okay?
Hold on.
The Missile Defense Agency, and look at the...
www.md8.mil?
Yeah, Mike Delta Alpha, the Missile Defense Agency, and tell me what you...
It's an Obama logo!
No, but look at it.
Look at it.
What do you see?
I see an Obama logo, but I also see some missile going and blowing something.
Oh, I also see a half moon at a Muslim...
Thank you!
A Muslim crescent moon.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah, it's got a Muslim quality, an Obama quality, and I don't know what the other thing, but you're right, it's probably more Muslim than anything.
It is exactly the crescent moon, John.
But the bomb is hitting into the moon as though this is the attack.
I know, it's hitting right into the crescent moon.
It's unbelievable.
Very interesting.
This stuff is not...
That's harsh.
Yeah.
And this stuff is not coincidental.
Signs and logos and words matter.
Okay?
It matters.
This is very powerful stuff.
This is catch number two for you.
This is quite good.
I wish I could take credit for all of this.
Although the jazzling thing is going to be the real meme here.
I wish I could take credit for it, but I really have to thank our producers who have been outstanding this past week.
I mean, just absolutely outstanding in sending all kinds of amazing things to listen to.
Including the Wiener clip.
Oh my gosh, yeah.
I mean, it's too long to play that.
I put it in the show notes where he basically goes before...
Oh, you can play the beginning of it.
Um, okay.
Well, why don't you set it up while I look for it?
I sent you the link.
Oh, you sent it on Skype?
Yeah.
Okay, here it is.
This is the one, then, I guess.
Yeah, here it is.
You know, you gotta love these Republicans.
I mean, you guys...
Now, Anthony Weiner, I interviewed as a part of a CNN special series in, I think, 19...
Whoa, I want to say 92, when he was a councilman in Brooklyn.
And he is Chuck Schumer's boy.
I mean, completely his boy.
In fact, I had to go interview Chuck Schumer after that, and I was pretty unprepared to speak to Chuck Schumer, and he basically just said, get the fuck out of my office.
You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Of course, in 92, I didn't.
I was like, what's your favorite Whitesnake video?
Boy, I wish I'd had the opportunity now.
But he was totally Chuck Schumer's boy, and he was being groomed.
All he was just sitting there, just waiting, just waiting to be shot up the ladder.
And now he's been a senator for what?
For like two terms?
The guy's been around for a number of years.
And here he is.
Do you know that he was Jon Stewart's roommate?
Yeah, yeah, they're best friends.
He was on Jon Stewart's show the other day.
And if you listen to his material on this...
Oh, yeah.
Totally Jon Stewart.
Sounds exactly like Jon Stewart.
Totally.
Have chutzpah.
Thank you.
The Republican Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of an insurance industry.
That's the fact.
They say that, well, this isn't going to do enough, but when we propose an alternative to provide competition, they're against it.
They say that, well, we want to strengthen state insurance commissioners, and they'll do the job.
But when we did that in our national health care bill, they said, we're against it.
They said they want to have competition, and when we proposed requiring competition, the Republicans are against it.
They are a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry.
That's the fact.
And now they stand up and say...
Mr.
Speaker, I ask the gentleman, words be taken down.
So he goes through that a couple of times, and then he comes back and he says...
By the way, I think he's a congressman, not a senator.
Yeah, that's a congressman.
My mistake.
You know what?
I think this guy is owned.
You think what?
I think he's owned.
I think someone owns him.
Chuck Schuller, for sure.
He's totally owned.
Yeah.
Which is the first thing a guy who's owned would do is use this analogy, right?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Just like, you know, the...
You know, the creeps that are the pedophiles, they're always like, oh, let's apply some more laws.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
They put me on the judicial thing so I can look at these things and see if it's pedophilia.
So I have like three things that are coming together, and I've put a couple of links in the show notes, noagendashow.com.
So just to reiterate, I had a radio show in the Netherlands just a little bit before we started No Agenda, and I had a guy on called Micha Kat.
Oops, I just lost John.
You know what?
The minute we start to talk about the pedophiles in government, that's when they cut off the damn show.
You know, John, you can set your watch by it.
The minute we start to talk about the pedophiles in government, the stream goes down.
I'm telling you, it happens every single time.
Whenever I start into this topic, the stream is cut off immediately.
It happens every single time.
This is not a coincidence.
Are you still there?
Yeah, no, I'm still here.
Okay.
But I'm also noticing the non-coincidence of the fact that we're always discussing something controversial, and it always seems to be exactly 45 minutes into the show when the stream goes down.
I think it's a timer.
Hmm.
No, I don't think so.
Well, you know what?
It doesn't matter, because we're back on, apparently, and everyone can hear us.
So I had this guy on who was investigating the Secretary General of the Netherlands.
Who was an admitted pedophile and who was, you know, the whole justice system is corrupt.
They're all being blackmailed.
Turkey is blackmailing them.
You know, they all go to these, like, crazy places called, like, the Pinocchio Bar.
Where is that?
It's like, what country is that in?
Like, the lawyer representing this guy, he has a company, a BV, which is the equivalent of an ink, and it's called the Pinocchio BV. I mean, it doesn't get any crazier with these guys.
So, now I come across two stories.
One which I want to thank our Australian producers for.
Because they got it off of ABC. It was just aired on the 22nd, and a lot of people ripped it for me.
I can't put a link up in the show notes because it's copyrighted, but if you just look through tweets to Adam Curry, then you'll be able to find links to online hosted recordings of it.
It's called The Warlord's Toon.
And I think in a way it was a hit piece against Afghanistan to make us feel like we're justified for being in there.
But what it really showed is what happens when you have a corrupt government filled with pedophiles and what really can take place.
Because essentially this is a documentary about how there's these 13...
What government are we talking about?
Afghanistan government.
About these 13 and 14 year old boys who are put into something called Bachi Bazi.
I think the rough translation is playing with boys.
And what happens is they're trained to dance and dress up as girls, and then they dance for all these men, and they make them all really hot and bothered, and then they're prostituted out.
And a lot of them get killed in bizarre sex games, etc.
And this is an amazing documentary.
Obviously disturbing to watch, but I recommend you watch it.
A lot of it is about how they get lured in, because their families pimp them out for money, whatever.
But the main thing is, this of course is against the law.
It's against morality.
But the people who are supposed to stop it, the police and high-ranking government officials, are actually in the audience and are taking these boys and abusing them.
So then there's this case in Scotland.
Which also involves high-ranking officials, sheriffs.
I don't know if you heard about this.
There was a young girl with Down syndrome.
Have you heard about this case, John?
No, no.
Go on.
Oh, my God.
It's amazing.
You kind of caught me off guard, so I'm looking for the link now.
Because I want to get her name, but you'll find it in the show notes.
Here it is.
Noagendashow.com So this girl's name...
By the way, the video is, of course, gone from this site.
Robert Greene is a reporter, and he really dove into this shocking ordeal of a girl with Down syndrome.
Her name is Holly Greig, G-R-E-I-G, in Aberdeen.
So what happens is, there's a family breakup between them.
She has a brother, and her dad, and her mom.
And her dad and her mom get a divorce.
And so her mom takes Holly, this girl with Down syndrome.
I'm really paraphrasing the story here.
But if we can find that video again, which seems to be taken down, then you can see Robert Greene talking about it.
I'm sure there's a copy somewhere.
And they said, okay, we're going to go live somewhere else.
And this girl, this girl with Down syndrome, starts to go nuts.
She's like, no, no, no, because daddy will kill Max.
Daddy will kill Max.
Max is the family dog.
And what are you talking about?
So anyway, what happens is this girl then finally comes out and tells her mom that her dad and her brother have been abusing her for like 15 years under the guise of, if you tell mommy, we're going to kill Max and kill mommy.
And been sexually abusing her.
Wait, but with high-ranking officials in the UK government, of course in Aberdeen's Scottish fraction.
Whoa, what is that?
They're coming to get me.
Black helicopters.
But we're talking like 15, 20 people.
And the mother's brother...
Actually discovered this, walked in on this girl's father, raping her, and they killed the guy and burned him in the desert.
Of course, it was deemed a suicide, and then they do another autopsy.
It turns out he had a busted skull.
He broke his skull and set himself on fire in the car.
No mainstream media has touched this story whatsoever, and mainly because it's all these powerful government people who are up there in the top suppressing this, because they are sick fucks.
They are sick.
Sick, I tell you.
It's unbelievable.
Luckily, the story is still available on the website, but you will not see this in mainstream news, but you have to read this.
So Google Holly, H-O-L-L-I-E, Greg, G-R-E-I-G. It will blow your mind.
And I am telling you that this is the biggest secret, but what is happening is, and John, you and I have discussed this before, people in places of power, they go crazy, and they get into weird sex stuff, and pedophilia is, I think, basically passed on.
If you're abused, there's a high likelihood you're going to abuse someone down the line, and it just keeps on growing, and it's been going on for decades.
And this is rampant, rampant throughout politics.
It goes right back to the Franklin cover-up, which involved President Bush Sr.
and the Boys Town of America.
I mean, we've got to look into this stuff.
I have to say, I can't dive into it too deep, because I would wind up, you know, obviously with...
Burned in the desert, buried.
Yeah, two to the head, and we have other fish to fry.
But make no mistake, and what happens is when these people engage in these activities, they become blackmailable.
They're like, oh, you're not going to do this for me?
You're not going to vote this way?
Well, maybe we should let this leak out.
And by the way, the number one way that people who try to expose this stuff, the number one way they try to shut you up is by accusing you of pedophilia.
Oh, yeah.
Or planting stuff.
I mean, there's all these kinds of, there's a crazy case floating around.
There's a bunch of them, actually, these guys.
Next thing you know, they're whistleblowers.
Next thing you know, somehow they're pedophilia, which is one of the more interesting things to do because you can, because you never get to see the evidence.
Ever.
in the header.
And apparently somebody came out, some expert came out.
I don't have the name of this case in front of me, but it's something I wanted to discuss at some point.
These files were never opened by the owner of the computer, and the judge says, ah, this is bull.
You're done, and told the expert witness, and I've been an expert witness a few times, and it's rare to find the situation occur.
And then the judge apparently said, when he gave closing arguments, the judge walked off the bench and said, you guys can do your closing arguments.
I had to go back in the back room, and apparently he was involved in some canasta game, or a secretary was.
And then he came out and just found the guy guilty and threw him in the slammer for six years.
This Robert Green guy, the reporter, got arrested, of course.
That's the first thing they do is arrest you.
And this goes also to Siebel Edmonds.
We discussed this on the show maybe two months ago, John.
She was a former translator for the FBI and she exposed this huge spy ring which includes Dennis Hastert, Bob Livingston, Paul Wolfowitz, It's Mark Grossman.
And there's sex in that as well, as you have this, what's her name?
Jan something or other.
Here he is.
Jan Schakowsky.
She was involved in this as well, but they blackmailed her having lesbian sex in some townhouse that they basically all shared amongst themselves with a spy.
It's all around sex.
It all revolves around sex.
I'm nothing against lesbian sex, of course.
Please.
Um...
But when it involves pedophilia, this is huge.
It's really, really big.
And countries, I believe that Turkey is blackmailing the Netherlands and getting the Netherlands to throw people in jail, political dissidents, if you will, by saying, hey, if you don't throw that guy in jail, well, then I'm sorry, we're just going to have to expose you for the pedophile you are.
So this is why you don't have that radio show anymore.
Oh yeah, so the financiers pulled out, the station was off the air, license revoked within six weeks.
Of you discussing this?
Yes, within six weeks.
And by the way, this is the reason why people listening to this show...
This is the reason we have to have your donations.
Somebody pointed out that we're moaning and groaning about, ah, you guys are begging for money too much, and you guys, and he said, it was one of these crazy, it's almost like one of those jokes where, you know, the portions are so, you know, the food is terrible, and the portions are so small, you know, kind of a gag.
The guy says, you know, you're begging for money, you're begging for money too much, you guys suck, and besides that, you can You know, you can never get a sponsor for that show of yours, and he went on and on with reasons we can never get a sponsor, and that was probably true, because sponsors can't be associated with this kind of revelation.
Absolutely.
And you know what?
I am proud, and it warms my heart to see producers from all across Gitmo Nation, from every corner of the world except India, No, actually, ever since my rant last week, I've got two Indians that chimed in.
Oh, good.
But are they donating?
Are they donating?
Okay, good.
And they're small, but you know.
No, it doesn't matter.
I hear those Indians are small.
And by the way, one of our friend, Mr.
Rue, the Frenchman, chimed in and chewed me up because he's French and he, you know, is also a very good contributor.
He's got the port forwarding information.
He's a really, you know, a good techie.
And he says, you know, the French, or I shouldn't be excoriating the French.
And then I started thinking about it, and I realized I probably shouldn't, because it's not as though the French wouldn't contribute.
They don't listen to anything people speaking in English have to say about anything.
Yeah, true.
And by the way, what's up with France?
I mean, have you seen Carla Bruni?
I mean, she's clearly a presidential model in the MKUltra program.
I mean, who else would want to screw Sarkozy, the power gnome, the Napoleon?
You know, he's got one of the most beautiful women in the world.
Yeah.
I bet she's for jazzling.
She probably is for jazzling.
Anyway.
So, yeah, it...
I guess to continue with my diatribe is that it warms my heart that people really see that it makes a difference.
I probably get an equal amount of email from people on a weekly basis saying, you know, I'm poor, I can't donate, but here's what I did.
You know, I've turned people on to the show.
I've...
We have a new website, noagendatv.com, which is great.
Basically, all of the video clips that are mentioned on the show and are in the show notes, you can find it at noagendatv.com.
I'll have a permanent link in the links that rock heading in the show notes.
So if you just want to go back and look at some of these videos, which includes all the crap we look at for hours on end from C-SPAN, it's all in there.
A lot of young people, college students, who say, hey, you know what?
As soon as I get a job, then I will donate, and that's great.
And we need it.
And we need a lot of money, because look at this.
We're doing two shows a week.
I've gotten to one-tenth of what I'd like to talk about.
And inevitably, after the show, I'm like, oh crap, we didn't get to that.
Oh shit, I forgot all about this stuff.
Let's name a couple people that gave us some money this week.
Besides the founding producers, which will be immortalized on a permanent page.
These are just donations to this show.
The reason I want to read some of these is because we're getting a lot of people now come up across with the idea that they're going to get their comments read.
I can't guarantee we're going to read all of them, but let's read a few.
Jason Fenwick will give us 55 bucks.
He's a big fan of mine.
Good man, Jason.
He loves me on Twitch.
Started listening to No Agenda a few weeks ago and love it.
As a birthday present to myself, I'm passing along some riches to the show.
He's in Arlington, Virginia, right across the river from Douche Central.
Oh, wait a minute.
I wasn't ready.
I should have known better.
Douche Central in Langley.
5150, William Cannonberg, Kalamazoo, Michigan.
He just wants to plug the Pod Trapper podcast program for the BlackBerry.
Oh, does that work?
I'm sure it works with No Agenda as well.
Oh, by the way, another way to help us, if you know anyone who is setting up a stream or a list of links or podcasts or default shows in one of these programs, recommend No Agenda as a default.
That helps a lot, too.
The best thing we can do, as we know that somewhere between 1% and 1.5% of the audience that listens actually donates to the show, We could try and raise that amount, or we can just get more listeners.
Your percentage is always going to be fairly low to people who actually contribute.
So the way that we get more money is obviously, which we need, to continue doing this and to improve what we do, is to have twice as many listeners, and that's what we're looking for.
Matthew Phillips, 5555, he's a student in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, and he says, here's some money for a tiny amount of blow and one terrible hooker.
Oh, okay.
We'll take a skank.
Sorry, I'm in school and can't help you out enough for a lot.
Oops.
There we go.
Crapola.
Yeah, and...
Sorry, John.
John, just start that last one over again because you dropped out for a second.
The Matthew Phillips 5555?
Yeah, do it from there.
Okay, Matthew Phillips contributed 5555 out at Dearborn Heights as a student.
And he says, here's some money for a tiny amount of blow and one parable hooker.
Sorry I'm in school and I can't help you out with enough for a lot of blow and a gaggle of great hookers.
So here's a kid that's, you know, got his head screwed on right.
Seems like dropped off the face of the earth.
Sorry about that.
I went to check on something, make sure that the router's okay.
This is crazy.
Am I still on the air?
Yeah, you're sounding pretty crappy, but yeah, you're on the air.
Okay.
Let me take a look at my...
While you're looking at that, I want to thank Willem Tromp, who has been sending me excellent preparatory notes for the show.
It takes me about an hour and a half just to go through his one email that comes in pretty much before every show, the day before, and he actually separates it out by the headings in the show notes.
You know, he has like, not good for you, false flag, all this stuff, and he's just an amazing contributor, and that's also highly appreciated.
Yeah, we appreciate that sort of thing.
Fifty bucks from Pari Nanapanina, I think is how you pronounce it.
He's from India, and he says, long-time listener of the show.
Everything you said about us Indians is so true.
We Indians are trained from the childhood to be greedy, sometimes to the point of foregoing even basic comforts and some necessities.
I know a lot of us earning here in rupees might not be able to donate more than $100, but on the other hand, a $5 monthly donation is not that much if you're a regular listener.
Here's $50 for hookers and blow, and so I can call the rest of the non-contributing listeners douchebags.
Here we go, everybody!
It's your favorite!
Douchebag!
I don't know.
We get some of these memes I questioned.
But we're stuck with them.
I like it.
Popers and Blow and Douchebag seems to be like one of the main ones.
I don't know if that turns people off.
Maybe that should be our ring.
H-A-B. There you go.
$168.88 from William Che, C-H-E, from Douglaston, New York.
I just got my tax refund.
This is a little for you both.
He's also got a, you know, 16.88 amount contribution.
He's Chinese, originally from Taiwan, living in New York City, and he thinks he may be the first Taiwanese to give us any money whatsoever.
Now we have an interesting donor, Stephen Bowe, B-O-E, from Clear Lake, Wisconsin, who just gave, he didn't give a normal mentioning amount, $33.33 is what he gave, my magic three donation to the stream, but this is what's important.
He's also donating the $5 monthly, and if you need a place to escape, he's got a place out in the middle of nowhere in rural Wisconsin.
He's also a ham radio guy, and he set up a low-power AM transmitter for the stream on an oddball frequency.
Nice!
Now, does he have internet out?
He must have internet in the shack, right?
I would assume so.
Go to 188 kilohertz when you're driving around the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin and see if you can pick this up.
Excellent.
When it comes to three being the magic number, a note from Dennis Cruz, long-time listener and producer, just to let you know.
I gave the first time because I landed a job and I've been saying I would donate the amount of days, a dollar a day.
Well, I donated to start the stream.
That's one of our special initiatives just because a little more than last time.
Guess what?
I got the job offer I've been waiting for.
Propagate the power of the myth.
I go on my third interview when they fly me out to visit the company this weekend.
Wish me luck.
No agenda.
It provides...
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yay!
I'm telling you, man, this lucky number three is catching on.
Have you seen McDonald's?
I have a Flickr link in the show notes.
McDonald's now offering a special $3.33?
Yeah.
Somebody at McDonald's listens to our show.
Yeah, Ronald.
Saurabh Kalantri, and I think it's pronounced that way, he's in India also, and he says that...
I should stop taking a dig at the Indians, even though the Indian gal triggered all this, told me to take digs at the Indians and they'll contribute.
But I'm going to stop doing it because now we're getting some people.
He likes the show.
Dusan, I think it's Priesol or Priesol from Slovakia, $55.
P-R-I-E-S-O-L. Chris Warchen, which is spelled W-A-U-R-E-C-H-E-N, pronounced Warchen, from Ontario.
And he gave us 50.
Andrew Chawner, 5432, 5432.
He says, when I gave to my alma mater, they asked for a priority for the donated funds.
No agenda should be the same.
Here's the options as I see them today.
One, hookers.
Two, blow.
Three, hookers and blow.
I gave for number three.
All right.
Thank you.
You know what?
The funny thing is, we are two of the most non-hooker and blow guys you'll ever know.
We may have to change our ways if the money keeps coming in.
If that's what it'll take, I'll do anything for this show.
I care about this show.
You can't really do a show like this if you're surrounded by hookers and blow.
Or if you're surrounded by advertisers.
Exactly.
That's why we have to mention our advertisers, which is the public.
59.95 Edward Baldwin.
Yay!
A name I can pronounce in Raleigh, North Carolina.
And he says for hookers and blow and maybe some sushi.
Oh, nice.
We could eat the sushi off of the hookers.
Off the hookers.
I have an anonymous donation, $101.01.
He sent me this to make sure this was mentioned, John, because you may have missed it.
This is from Comrade Liam Alexander, clearly a codename, to Rabbi Bob.
Sorry I missed your birthday.
You are difficult to shop for, so I figured I'd donate to one of the things we have in common.
Please accept this gift with my apologies and gratitude.
Oh, that's sweet.
It is very sweet.
Rabbi Bob from Comrade.
Although this is probably all coded messages for the KGB. They're using our show.
These guys will read anything.
And guess who's back?
$77.70, Sterling Ellsworth, Santa Barbara, California.
Yay!
He's only got about ten more to do, or five more to do, or three more to do, and he's a knight.
Mary Ryan.
Yeah, by the way, on the knight program, you've kind of got to keep the tally yourself, because we don't have any staff, and if you've reached your knighthood amount, then you let us know, and we'll double-check, obviously.
And I have answered the question a couple times to people.
If you donate $333.33 three times, we'll kick in the penny, and you're a knight.
You know, there you go.
That's a deal.
Okay, Mary Ryan, and actually this came from Ireland, is I think our first Irish donor.
No, I don't think so.
Oh, John Wickham and Mary Ryan.
I mean, if Mary Ryan doesn't sound like a beautiful red-headed Irish girl, I don't know what does.
Hey, lassie!
He says, in the Gitmo Green Isles.
Then we also had Lars Ewell Sorensen.
L-A-R-S-J-U-E-L Sorensen with that funny O gave us $57 and he is from Haslev, Denmark.
And we really appreciate your compression technology.
Yes, we do.
And that's it for this week.
And we're looking for more donations for the next show, which will be coming up Sunday morning.
And so you go to NoAgendaShow.com.
You go to Dvorak.org slash NA. And we also have an ongoing program for people who have already donated for our founding producers for the stream.
And we also really appreciate the people who don't get mentioned who donate on the monthly subscription program.
Even if you donate a larger amount, this is paramount to the future.
It'll take quite a while at the pace we're going, but everyone's working, everyone's trying to...
I think we have noagendastickers.com, another website.
And by the way, this also...
I was talking to Mickey about this.
Because of the way the show is done, you guys own it.
You're paying for it.
You own it.
We don't have to worry for a second about copyrights, about who owns the name.
It's like if you can register a domain name with no agenda in it and put something up on it, it's great.
Maintain it for us.
Make it work.
Copy the show.
Put it on your low power transmitters.
Put on your high power transmitters.
This is what makes it so good.
This is a totally new paradigm for this type of reality.
Okay?
Because we are bringing you reality.
We're an open source internet radio show.
And I would even take off the internet part because it makes us sound smaller than it is.
Yeah, the audience isn't like huge, like major market yet, but we're in a growth industry, that's for sure.
There's so many people who are so disillusioned and so sick and tired of the slut squads spilling up your screen.
And people just want to hear really what's going on, the real stuff.
And they love to know about magic numbers.
So noagendashow.com, dvorak.org slash NA, or channeldvorak.com slash NA. This magic number is amazing.
People are freaking out over it.
Now everyone's seeing it, right?
And by the way, what's the highest degree in Freemasonry?
33rd degree.
Right, so I think you said this 333.33 is going to get the best of results.
So we have this Toyota scandal, which of course is so funny.
Well, if we're going to go that direction, I have a couple clips.
Well, before you get into it, let me play this clip where the 33 magic number comes into this scandal.
Listen to this.
Buzz got intervened.
As the car came very slowly to stop, I pulled it to the left median.
With the car stopped and both seats on the brake, the motor still revved up and down.
At 35 miles an hour, it would not shut off.
Finally, at 33 miles per hour, I was able to turn the engine off.
Ah, there you go.
It's pre-programmed.
33 miles an hour.
And by the way, you're in the car, the accelerator is stuck, but you notice it's 33 miles an hour.
Yeah, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Well, you'd be looking at the road.
Yeah.
There's something screwy about this whole Toyota thing.
They're slamming these guys.
Now, I have a couple of interesting clips.
I have a pre-testimony clip that ran on the news, which was another one of these sobbing women.
This one made a phone call.
Play this pre-testimony clip.
Starting tomorrow, the head of Toyota will appear before Congress.
By the way, how funny is it that the head of Toyota is named Toyoda?
Yeah, well, it's because it was named after him.
No, no, but it's Toyota with a D. With a D, yeah, I know.
They changed it.
I love that.
That's awesome.
Today, though, lawmakers heard tearful testimony from a driver who says her car sped out of control.
I called my husband on the Bluetooth phone system.
I knew...
I'm sorry.
I knew he could not help me, but I wanted to hear his voice more time.
Shame on you, Toyota, for being so greedy.
While she finally stopped the car after six miles, a Toyota executive also testified today.
Right behind you.
Do you believe that the recall on the carpet changes and the recall on the sticky pedal will solve the problem of sudden unintended acceleration?
Not totally.
What the hell is this all about?
We don't have congressional testimony for every recall.
Well, here's the part I want to get into.
Not only do we have this ridiculous testimony, which I listen to, by the way, almost all of it, and it is borderline pathetic, and the worst part is that one of the chairmen, they keep rotating in and out of who's going to be the chairman for any given time.
Yeah, they have, like, the sales guy for Toyota USA on the stand.
Eleanor Holmes Norton, who is the congresswoman from D.C., is an out-and-out, besides being a jerk, she is an idiot.
Wait, can we call her a...
Douchebag!
Yeah, no problem.
Okay.
So let's play a couple of clips with her grilling Toyota.
And first of all, the first clip is that they explain...
Well, hold on, John.
Could I just stop you for a second?
I would like to go back and explain.
We have two theories about why this is taking place.
If you would give your theory first, please.
My theory is that the whole thing has to do with the United Auto Workers muscling the Obama administration to get these damn Toyota plans.
The Toyota car is one of the best cars in the world, despite this issue, which Steve Wozniak believes is a software problem, and I am in agreement with him.
But all their facilities, they're all over the place, mostly in the southern states, are all non-union.
And I believe this has to do with them trying to unionize the Toyota factories here in the U.S. I have a new addition to that, which I believe also, this is the strong-armed Toyota to keeping the Numi plant in Fremont open.
And then there's two more.
One of course, the United States government pretty much owns General Motors, so it's a competitor.
So that could be one.
But my theory, which I still stand by, is that now that Japan has moved ahead of China as the largest holder of U.S. debt, this is a warning saying, do not mess with us.
We will bring your ass down to its knees.
And we're still on the lookout for recalls for Honda.
There was apparently a recall in the United Kingdom of 300,000 cars for Honda.
That doesn't count.
It has to be a U.S. recall.
It's on its way.
And that's my theory.
I like that theory too.
And of course, that theory doesn't show up in the memos.
One of the things discussed in these hearings is some secret memo that got revealed where Toyota says they were very concerned about the U.S. owning General Motors and it could become a problem.
It's a competitive problem, and they got grilled about this.
One Republican congressman actually brought out issues in the memo.
I can't play all this stuff.
This was hours and hours of material.
I'm trying to summarize something.
I only want to play the Holmes Norton stuff because she's such a jerk.
But anyway, the Republicans came out and kind of said, is this about the, you know, they started asking poignant questions to these executives.
There's the Toyota himself and then the North American CEO that runs the North American who's Japanese and can barely speak English, yet he's here.
And by the way, the Japanese deserve a little...
Condemnation for their normal practice of like installing, instead of finding a Japanese-American that speaks fluent Japanese and good English, they won't do that.
They have to bring their, you know, the people from Japan over because they're always so afraid that, you know, Americans will contaminate their culture that they can't really have too many Americans.
They'll put Americans into a company early on and this happens in high tech all the time and there's actually a term for this.
I'll mention it.
And anyone who's been in the business will know this.
A Japanese company will set up shop in the U.S. They'll have a bunch of Americans running it.
And then there's a thing called the death buses, which show up and everybody knows what they are, filled with Japanese nationals.
They fire all the Americans and the whole places are now run by Japanese nationals who they're trying to keep isolated because the Japanese are scared to death that we're going to contaminate their closed culture.
So we have basically an illiterate guy up at the Talking, and that comes into play in the second clip that I have.
The first clip, which I'm going to set up, is essentially, there's a convoluted question that was asked, and the Toyota person, Mr.
Toyota, who just took over the job, by the way, in November, so he doesn't know anything.
But that's okay.
Let's bring him up and humiliate him.
He says that the...
That when there's a problem that can't be duplicated.
In other words, you can't reconstruct.
You can't create this problem.
It's something that just happens.
It's intermittent.
It's the worst thing that can happen in electronics.
Yeah, it's not reproducible.
It's non-reproducible.
And so he's saying, the problem that we have is it's non-reproducible.
And when people complain about it, we can't make it happen again.
And so we're working on it.
We're trying everything we can.
And so, and his translator, by the way, is also a natural, a Japanese national.
Can barely speak English.
She's just finishing the translation when this clip comes into play.
And this woman, Eleanor Holmes Norton, doesn't conceptualize this in the least.
And she just excoriates them with the, oh, just play this.
This is the clip number one.
The similar phenomenon is likely to continue into the future.
How much possibility there is for the same phenomenon to spread to other areas or other cars is another aspect that is investigated.
So I will say that I will accelerate that process of following these three steps further into the future.
But with respect to the reproducibility or duplication of those phenomenon, we have been working very hard within Toyota to do exactly that.
But even with the best efforts made, there are cases that cannot be or that have not been reproduced.
So going forward, we'll enhance the transparency of the process of us working very hard to reproduce and try to identify those causes, sometimes seeking cooperation from the authorities concerned.
And we intend to lead our efforts in this area in the manner that our efforts itself will lead to the improvement of the vehicles of the entire industry.
I'm going to go on with my questions.
I just want to make sure you're not blaming the victims.
The customers are reported.
The customers reported.
Let's not say we wanted to hear our customers.
The fault does not lie with the customers.
You can bet your bottom dollar that the first time there was unintended acceleration, that's about everybody's horror.
You can bet your bottom dollar.
You know, this is interesting.
I just want to mention, I remember when I was a little boy, My mom, who drove the kids around a lot, she...
And somehow it just sticks in my mind and it keeps popping up.
She would always say, when you have your license, if your accelerator gets stuck...
Apparently this is something that I guess maybe happened back in the 50s or there was something...
Because my mom wouldn't just come up with that by herself.
Fuck, I wish I could ask her.
She said, you have to immediately turn off the ignition key.
And that's how you solve that problem.
Was there anything like this before, John, and maybe in the 50s that you could recall?
Well, if I have that situation, which I actually did have on my Lexus once, I stomp on the accelerator to accelerate further, and then it stops.
Which is kind of counterintuitive, but it seems to work.
But this is not doable in a Prius, for example, because the Prius is 100% electronic, and there's a button you push to start it.
And what you have to do with the Prius is you can't turn off the ignition, which I think is a mistake in engineering, personally.
So what you have to do with a Prius or any of these, of course, electronic, at least with the Toyotas, is you have to push this start button and hold it down for, I think, five seconds or something like that.
You just hold it down, and then it will kill the engine.
But nobody knows this because nobody is ever told to do this.
But you can't just poke it.
You have to hold it down and it will kill the engine, supposedly.
Let's continue with this clip.
Let's stop before we continue and mention the fact that there was nothing about them ignoring or anything else.
This woman, this congresswoman, Excuse me, excuse me, this proves my theory.
When she says, you can bet your bottom dollar, she is clearly referring to the trillions of dollars of debt that they own.
She's not saying yen.
She's not saying shekels?
I like the theory, but I think it's just a phrase she uses continuously.
But that's a good word to finish because you can see that she doesn't give a crap what anybody has to say.
You can bet your bottom dollar that that customer reported that.
Your answer, which goes to we'll see if this is duplicated, is in some ways very troublesome.
Because that is such a serious...
Problem.
That once it is reported one time, it seems to me you have got a huge problem on your hands.
And you seem to be saying, well, if we hear it enough, then we'll know we ought to do something about it.
You know what this bitch is doing?
And I'm just going to call her a bitch.
We need a bitch sound effect.
You know what she's doing?
And I see this so many times.
This is like something that, of course, is being trumped up.
It's like, oh, I don't know how many people have died from stuck accelerators, but it's not like as many people that die from swine flu.
Or die in the bathroom from falling down.
Or die in normal accidents.
Yeah, exactly.
Seatbelt related.
Whatever it is.
She's grandstanding.
She's up there and she's trying to be one of the people.
It's like, bleh.
Get on and do something important.
Double something.
Well, what we said in our testimony and many other times, customer first, is a thing that we have been doing, but we would have to make more focus on the customer concerns and complaints.
And for that matter, I think we also work closer with NHTSA, NHTSA, so that when they receive the customer complaints...
We'd like to know more about it, and then also some of the information will be sort of open to us, including WIN numbers, so that we can trace back each one of the customers.
As I said, the SWAT team could do that.
So we are trying very hard to really put that word customer first.
This is like wasting my time again.
Keep playing.
Yeah, that's it.
It ended.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, we could have cut that last part off.
Well, anyway, the point is, this guy is not a very...
You know, he's not...
In fact, the second clip...
Which I'm going to bore you with further, is even more weird because this woman first admits that she has a Toyota.
And I think American congresspeople should be driving American brands personally.
Just a thought.
Just a thought.
You know, you'd think.
But she says that she wanted to drive a...
Her story is that she wanted to drive...
This is the way this plays out.
She wanted to drive a hybrid, and she couldn't find an American one that she could get, so she bought a Camry hybrid.
She couldn't find an American one, and so she had to buy this car.
Why she had to buy a hybrid is beyond me, but she had to.
So she did, and she's worried sick that, and she wants a guarantee that there's never going to be a recall of it, so she asked that.
And then she said, the guy that this inarticulate Japanese COO, Says, by the way, the Toyota Camry is an American car.
It's made in the United States.
So you did get an American car.
She says, oh, so now you're going to blame the Americans for the problem?
Is that in this clip?
It's unbelievable.
First, let me say to you, I'm going to ask you a question that I think every American who has a Toyota would want me to ask.
Yeah, and as you know, I'm representing the entire United States right now.
We're Americans.
That's apostrophe American.
And I can ask this because it's personal as well as congressional.
I drive a Camry Hybrid.
I switched to Toyota very reluctantly because I wanted to buy an American car.
And the Americans were not making hybrids almost at all or were so few that I went straight away To Toyota.
Why?
I didn't ask how much it cost.
Because I was rich!
I was relying on this extraordinary reputation for quality and safety that had been built over generations.
So I ask you, Mr.
Toyota, is there any chance that the Camry hybrid will be recalled?
What kind of an asinine question is that?
It's crazy.
Now she only cares about herself.
Apparently.
My car.
Do I really have to play this?
It's driving me nuts.
No, you have to play it because you're going to miss the best part.
For any reason, there's a translator going, all right, that bitch, here's what she said.
I'd like to get that conversation.
First of all, let me step in.
First of all, chairman, you are driving American car.
It is produced American.
It's got Mr.
Toyota's name on it.
You don't want to claim it anymore?
And then we all have to laugh because now she's doing stand-up.
You are disclaiming the car.
No, no.
I think it is an American.
It was the Americans' fault.
No, no, no, no.
Please.
Healthier.
Okay, that's good enough.
This is ridiculous.
This whole thing is just another distraction.
She jumps all over this guy who tries to explain that it's an American car insufficiency.
It's her fault for this thing going south.
You're trying to disclaim the car?
You're blaming the Americans for the problem.
What she wanted to really say, although she's as inarticulate as the Japanese guy, she says she wanted to buy an American brand.
She did buy an American car, and she doesn't seem to have that realization.
As far as she's concerned, it's a Japanese car because it's got the Toyota name on it, which is bogus because it's made in the U.S. except for the Lexuses.
All the Toyotas you buy are made here.
Anyway, I just found the whole thing obnoxious.
Yeah, oh, it is.
And they're just grilling these two idiots, and it's accomplishing absolutely nothing.
It's a complete waste of everybody's time, as you suggested when I put these clips out there.
Yeah, and I appreciate it.
That's five minutes of my life, I'll never get back again.
Let's make a tape of this.
Somebody out there, make a copy of Adam saying, that's five minutes of my life, I'll never get back, and we'll make it into a jingle.
Hey, the government can now, of course, monitor your location all day, every day, without implicating or infringing on your Fourth Amendment rights.
This is something that's been talked about, but of course not.
It's about time.
Yeah.
In the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, I guess, case now playing out.
In the matter of the application of the United States of America for an order directing a provider of electronic communications service to disclose records to the government...
I'm looking for the quote from President Obama who basically says the American people have no right to assume that they cannot be tracked.
It's important, you know, because you could be a terrorist.
Oh, yeah.
You could be a terrorist, my friend.
Everybody is a crook in this country.
Oh, yeah.
Everyone's a crook, terrorist, and a tax dodger.
Oh, it's just unbelievable.
Quick follow-up on those weird statements from people who have Citibank accounts.
That said, effective April 1, 2010, we reserve the right to require seven days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts.
So there have been some groups who have called Citibank on this.
And Citigroup is saying, the Federal Reserve requires that statement, which is even worse.
The Federal Reserve is requiring this.
And you take along with that the knowledge.
I have a link here.
Here it is.
So, you know, there's a lot of people talking about a huge explosion.
You know, we keep raising our debt levels.
The federal, we now are monetizing our own debt, which is a very complicated concept.
But essentially, since China and Japan, and let's face it, Japan is not going to buy any more of our debt with the grilling they're getting right now.
It could be a part of an actual orchestration.
You know, so now the Federal Reserve is buying up the Treasuries, which of course we then pay for indirectly.
But insider trading, or selling I should say, soared by 17% at the end of last week.
A new high.
I don't know if you've been following this with your Horowitz show.
But everyone, CEOs, directors, they're all dumping their own stock.
Yeah, well, with the recent run-up, I don't blame them.
I mean, why not?
Well, maybe because they want to cash out and turn that into, you know, buy something.
Well, maybe.
I don't see anybody buying anything.
Hmm, okay.
So, uh, okay.
There's a couple other things we have to follow up on, Jim.
Well, I also have one last Real News story before we're done.
You want to?
Okay, let's see.
And now, back to Real News.
There's a big controversy going on.
One of our producers pointed this out to me.
One of the students out there at the University of Mississippi.
Big controversy over...
Apparently they're going to get rid of their mascot, Colonel Reb.
And the Colonel Reb mascot, who is apparently very offensive to a lot of people because he represents some idiot from the 1860s.
And they want to replace him.
It looks like the big movement is to replace him with Admiral Ackbar from the Star Wars movie, who's a giant squid.
Now, there's a lot of history about this.
The people in Mississippi should know that this is probably not a bad idea, because some of the more creative mascots, like the banana slug at the University of Cal Santa Cruz, gets a lot of attention.
And this giant squid, you can also make squigwort, I think, would be another good possibility.
Yeah.
This giant squid person would be a great mascot.
And it's not unprecedented to change your mascot and even the name of your team, although the Rebels, they could keep the name because Akbar was one of the heads of the Rebels.
But Stanford University used to be the Stanford Indians.
Oh, that's politically incorrect.
We can't do that.
And, of course, in the Bay Area, that didn't last as long as it could have.
And so in the 70s, I believe, they changed it to the Cardinals, despite the fact that there's no Cardinals in California.
But that's another story.
And their mascot is a tree.
Some idiot gets in a tree costume and runs around like a ninny, which is the stupidest mascot probably in the world.
And so it wouldn't be probably way off base to make Admiral Ackbar if George Lucas would cough up the rights to it.
Wow.
Big, big news in Mississippi.
Oh, okay.
Well, hopefully people are looking at some other news down there as well.
I don't think so.
Oh, from the...
For our Canadian producers, vaccine manufacturer Merck says Health Canada has approved, this is, you know, they have that excellent, excellent healthcare system up there, has approved Gardasil for the prevention of genital warts caused by HPV infection for boys and men aged 9 to 26.
Oh yes!
We told you so!
Exactly.
Yeah.
Talk about it.
Yeah.
So, now here's the most disturbing news, which actually, I love it because we still have that jingle.
And we really only have to spend a minute on it.
But guess what?
Just to test and see what it would look like...
They've now created a human flu and bird flu hybrid.
Right.
They've somehow joined H1N1 with H5N1 to see what it would look like.
I don't know what they're going to do with it.
Well, how about bury that shit in the ground?
Yeah.
Can you imagine if that gets out?
Or, I mean, I don't know who is it.
Yeah, really, if.
Who's doing this?
Researchers for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention combined it with a...
So it's the CDC themselves who are doing this.
Yeah, well, CDC is a...
Something happened to the CDC some time ago, and...
...behind the big swine flu scare, too.
And, I mean, I could play the We Told You So jingle all day long.
Protection against swine flu will be...
Protection.
Notice the word.
Protection against swine flu will be added to the 2010-2011 seasonal influenza vaccine.
They gotta do something with all this stuff.
Nobody bought it.
Yeah, putting an end to separate shots deployed against the pandemic.
How does that jive with the original factoid that you had to have two shots?
Because it's all about money.
It's all about money.
And now there's talk of, we have to pre-screen everyone for HIV and they're working on the vaccine, which there will be a vaccine.
I guarantee you there will be an HIV vaccine.
Because that's a man-created disease.
That's my personal theory.
Well, the Russians always believe that.
The New York Times reported, and I still have a copy of this article, because I was amused by it.
This came out around 1987, 1988, just as the AIDS controversy was beginning.
And the Russians say that in this article that was in the New York Times, it says the Russians believe that the AIDS was created in a lab in Maryland.
And there is a lab in Maryland.
There's kind of a very high-secretive lab in Maryland.
I don't know.
By the way, I don't believe that personally.
I just think it's interesting.
Well, I'll tell you what I believe.
And of course, I don't have empirical proof But I certainly...
Here's the trend that I see.
And by the way, I get into big arguments with people when I deliver...
Yeah, it's amazing.
But, you know, with people I live with.
So I believe that it is man-created.
It was genetically engineered to kill black people.
I really believe that.
And dropped off in Africa.
Exactly, dropped off in Africa.
So there's a lot of black people there.
We can go kill all them.
And by the way, the number one means of family planning in Africa, i.e.
not to get someone pregnant, is anal sex.
So there's another great way to transmit.
Perfect, perfect, perfect conditions for this disease.
If you're going to go with that theory, it was a disease designed to be transmitted through anal sex, and it's true that one of the main birth control methodologies in Well, gay guy that was a flight attendant, was floating around Africa.
- Well, forget about that part.
That's not important.
However-- - Well, I think it is important to all the people that have AIDS.
- Well, yeah, but here, and I know a lot of people have AIDS.
I know people who have died of AIDS, but it's never AIDS.
You know, and words are important.
It's always HIV AIDS. And what happens is, you get HIV, but then they put you on this AZT drug, and then you get full-blown AIDS and you die.
Let me finish.
Then you can tell me the problem with the theory.
I believe that the drugs that they give you are actually what kills you.
Because I've seen nothing but healthy people who have, who test positive for human insufficiency in, frigate, whatever HIV stands for.
Ah, crap!
What is it?
I just call it HIV. But it's your immune system.
But then they give you these drugs, and that's when you get AIDS and you die.
And I truly believe this is a huge, scandalous...
It's a crappy pharmaceutical plot to kill people and get paid for it.
Yeah, the problem is when AIDS first appeared in the mid-80s, people were dropping dead left and right with no drugs.
And it was only later that the drugs were developed to kind of stave it off, even though those drugs are very controversial.
So, I mean, this argument makes zero sense if you follow the timeline.
But it's amusing.
And not meant to be amusing, but now there's this pill, or cocktail as they call it, and I know many people, or not many, but a number of people who have gone through this, Where, oh, okay, I had sex with someone who was infected with HIV-AIDS, as it's called,
not AIDS, it used to be just AIDS, now it's HIV, HIV-AIDS, and then if you rush to the doctor within 24 hours, it's almost like a plan B. If you rush to the doctor, they give you these drugs that you're on for like a month, and basically it makes you incredibly sick, but that somehow apparently can kill off the virus and you'll live.
I don't trust these guys.
I think it was man-made, and I think maybe it got out of hand, but they have some solutions.
But like, hey, you know what?
Why actually give people the antidote?
Why don't we just string them along for a little while?
Because there are less people dying from AIDS in Western countries because of the magical wonder drugs.
And why would you trust these guys in the first place?
Bastards, all of them.
Hello?
I really just gotta leave these stream breaks in because every single time we get down to something that's real brass tacks...
Was that you talking?
Because I thought it was Louis Farrakhan.
You know, I'll take a lot of insults from you, but now you've really gone over the top.
Louis Farrakhan.
Does he say that?
Is that his thing?
Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's out to kill the blacks or, you know, they're trying to kill the blacks.
That's what the whole thing's about.
Well, I think it's highly possible.
And while we're at it, get rid of them fags.
That's how these people think.
Okay.
Our welcome has overstayed.
Now they're like messing with us.
Black helicopter's next.
I got a really weird email from a real estate agent.
Like one of these things she sent out to a whole bunch of people.
Yeah.
And here's how it read.
Remember, cell phone numbers go public this month.
All cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls.
To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone, 888-382-1222, which is the national do not call list.
It will take only a minute of your time.
It blocks your number for five years.
Is this true?
What's the number again?
888-382-1222.
Okay.
But the real news...
Yeah, there is a national...
I don't know if that's the number or not.
No, I know that, but what she's saying is all cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketing companies.
That's true?
Yeah.
What's that all about?
I don't know.
Telemarketers are trying to put the screws of these guys.
We want to release these phone numbers.
Too many people are just using cell phones as their only phone and they can't get a hold of them.
They got something to sell them!
Is that my private information?
They can't just give that crap out.
It's not your phone.
I mean, you're just borrowing it.
So I get like four calls a day from some telemarketing scheme.
I keep telling them.
And some of these guys are nasty.
But mostly oil and energy.
Insignia Energy calls a lot.
Benchmark operating company.
I'm now taking notes.
Fair Energy.
They got six oil wells in Texas and they want to sell me one of them.
Well, you can do that or buy hookers and blow.
I mean, it's up to you.
I think the hookers and blow would probably pay off a bigger dividend.
Oh.
Alright, there's a couple things we could follow up on if we want to.
That laptop spying scandal.
Yeah, let's do that in the next show because it's still developing.
And there was a UFO that crashed in Mongolia.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
There's a picture of it, too.
Okay, well...
Two unknown disc-shaped objects crashed to the ground on the 19th of February near Mongolia, the capital Ulaanbaatar City.
But they're small, because of course it's smaller aliens.
Frisbees.
No.
So the little bitty dinky aliens that are ant-sized?
Well, no.
One is 10 kilos.
The other one is about 2 tons.
And they look like...
They're kind of saucer-like.
Well, they're damaged from the impact.
And there's some YouTube videos, and it's pretty interesting.
I'm all over it.
I'll bet you are.
You still don't believe, do you?
Lewis.
No, you don't believe.
Oh, well.
So we have a clip I want to play at the end, which is the Letterman clip, because people love listening to Letterman after our show's over.
Okay.
And this is basically when the Toyota news...
When the Toyota news first broke, this is one of Letterman's first monologues about it, and it's not as though he's a little relentless because Letterman's kind of that way, but he just hounds the company, and it's actually quite amusing, but he's been hounding Toyota pretty much every night.
I think he used to drive a Toyota, actually.
Maybe.
I recall that.
Could be.
But it's lighthearted.
I was amused by it, so I said, eh, you know, we could add it on to the end and amuse our listeners.
I should have taped in a plug at the end to noagendastream.com and noagendashow.com, but I didn't.
So there's tons more in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
I mean, like, tons more of stuff that is worth looking into.
Have a look over at those show notes.
We do it as a part of the service.
It's what you're paying for, so it's not just John and Adam sitting down.
By the way, we spend countless hours every single day.
And it is hours.
Send me a 10-minute YouTube clip, all right?
Now, if 20 people send me a 10-minute YouTube clip...
That's three hours of work right there.
And I watch all this stuff.
And John, you do the same.
Countless hours.
So just as a part of that, there's a lot of stuff that you do.
And hours I'll never get back.
No.
Well, but that's okay.
It's what we do, so you don't have to.
There's a couple different things that I'd like you to look at, but before I go, I would like to mention one website under the ClimateGate heading, which by the way is just pressing ahead.
There's also a C-SPAN video there of the Senate Environment Committee hearing on the EPA, who of course are just going to take executive powers and are going to impose all kinds of taxes and regulations and And there's a great back and forth between the committee members on both sides of the debate, really completely perpendicular to each other, but holding up big signs and, you know, we're all going to die from global warming, and then the other side's like big signs saying it's a scam.
And then you have that EPA, Lisa Jackson, who, you know, is...
It makes me cringe.
Oh, you just want to slap her.
She deserves the bitch jingle, which I don't have.
But there is an initiative which is frightening called Planetary Skin.
And you can find it at PlanetarySkin.org.
And it is an initiative between essentially everyone on the pro-AGW, man-made global warming debate, and Cisco.
And the idea is to make a planetary skin of sensors essentially, I guess, put into every Cisco box now.
They're going to have a sensor worldwide so they can really prove that there's global warming.
And for our CIS admins, who are all part of our No Agenda militia, I would say it's time to switch to another brand.
And if you look at this site, it's just frightening.
Absolutely frightening.
PlanetarySkin.org.
Have a look through that, and you may change brands as to what router or switch or whatever you want to use.
And it's only Cisco, by the way.
John, that's something I think you should look into.
I wonder what that's all about.
I must look into it.
Well, I mean, it literally says...
Because we're flying blind in a complex and volatile world.
We want to create a global nervous system to sense, predict, and act.
Oh, brother.
Planetary skin can be thought of as a nervous system covering the entire planet and providing a research and development platform for open collaboration between public, private, academic and NGO sectors, i.e.
Gitmo frickin' nation.
It will collect data from space, airborne, maritime, terrestrial, and people-based sensor networks and other sources of structured and unstructured data.
It will model, predict, analyze, and report in a standardized, usable format over an open and adaptable cloud platform that is governed as a global public good.
Signed, George Orwell.
I'm telling you.
It's a freaking outrage.
A global good.
Yeah.
Planetary skin.
They're getting under my skin.
And then maybe on Sunday we'll talk about the sham that is the bloom box because I think our listeners want to know the reality of what that really is and what's really going on behind the scenes which is a complete Silicon Valley insider scam being played out in the most beautiful way.
It's a classic.
Yeah, and it'll be fun because when you're at a cocktail party next week and people say, wow, did you see that bloom box?
That's amazing!
Wow, the world is saved!
It's all going to work!
You could say, oh yeah, here's the real story.
And you know what?
You could get laid.
Because you look smart.
Well, if you're talking to an environmentalist, you won't.
Alright, I'm going back to my bed.
Let's see if I can get rid of this whooping cough.
Coming to you from Gibbo Nation West in the Crackpot Command Center in the Republic of California.
My name is Adam Curry.
And in the northernmost sector, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll talk to you again on Sunday with early morning service right here on No Agenda.
You want to get your heart racing.
You really want to get it pumping.
You want to get that blood moving?
Do what I do.
Drive to work in a Toyota.
That...
I mean...
Hey, hold it.
Wait a minute.
You know about this big Toyota recall and things are dangerous and I'm coming to work in my car?
And here's how scary it is.
The navigation lady was actually praying.
And then, but...
I don't know.
Last night I had a horrible dream that I'm being driven to work in the Toyota and it's being driven by Rip Torn.
Oh, my God.
You know, a lot of people focusing attention on car companies and their troubles.
Some car companies are bankrupt.
Some car companies are going out of business.
Others, like Toyota, are having trouble with the recall.
And some car companies are taking advantage of the misfortune of other car companies.
You've seen this commercial from Chrysler.
Watch this.
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
Take a look.
Toyota is recalling over 8 million vehicles for gas pedal related issues, with more still to be recalled for braking problems.
In light of this announcement, And to show how committed we are to remaining competitive with industry leader Toyota.
Effective immediately, Chrysler is removing the brakes from every one of our cars.
A message from Chrysler.
That's exactly what I've heard of.
But now...
Toyota has recalled millions and millions of their cars because of the gas.
You hit the gas and the thing takes off and it just, whoa, won't stop and just wham!
You know, here in New York City, those are taxi cabs.
But now...
There's trouble with the Prius.
The Prius, the hybrid Prius.
And Pat Robertson, there's no brakes on the Prius.
So on the one hand, you get the gas, and then the other, you get the Prius with no brakes.
So Pat Robertson today said it's God's revenge on hybrid driving liberals.
Now, I don't...
Is that fair?
I don't know.
But don't kid yourself.
The serious thing is trouble.
Somebody got into a serious Prius, whatever they called, in California and started the thing up and the thing wouldn't stop until it got to New Jersey.
Now wait a minute here.
Wait a minute.
Now wait a minute.
Let me take another look at that.
Thank you.
Yeah, that's fine.
That's close enough.
All right.
Thank you.
All right.
Thank you very much.
If you really care, write in for the written transcript.
I'm not going to do that.
This is sad about actor Rip Torn.
You know Rip Torn, a famous character actor for years and years, a tremendous talent, and he had some trouble over the weekend at his house in Connecticut.
He apparently mistook his bank, his neighborhood bank, for his home, and he broke into the bank.
And they found him in there, and he was trying to open the vault to get out a cold beer.
