	Well, it's very interesting.
	Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, June 27th, 2010.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 212.
	This is no agenda.
	Reading the letter from the Pope to Pedo Bear.
	And coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, and Gitmo Nation West in the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're getting a glimpse of summer, but not much of a glimpse, I'm John C. DeVore.
	And in the morning to you, my friend.
	In the morning to everybody, and to all ships at sea.
	Yes, and moon bases.
	Hello.
	Always got to say hi to the guys in the moon base.
	Yeah, you do.
	You definitely do.
	It's important.
	Yes.
	Hey, you know, we forgot something on Thursday and I'm kicking myself because it was such a bit of real news that I can't believe we didn't discuss it.
	Which?
	Which was, because it'll be on again tonight because it was the premiere last Sunday of The Real L Word.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I kept seeing that on the schedule, and I'm thinking, what?
	Who cares?
	For some reason, it wasn't even compelling enough, that title, for me to even figure out what it was or care.
	Well, we talked about it on the show.
	We tried to play the promo, remember?
	It was supposed to be, like, it's a reality show about real lesbians.
	Yeah.
	Oh, it's so bad.
	Wow.
	That's shocking.
	But, I mean, they didn't even show any lesbian sex.
	Not in nothing.
	Well, they're not going to show sex on TV anymore.
	But, I mean, all of a sudden, they're cuddling.
	Ugh.
	Ugh.
	Were they giving...
	You're talking about...
	Were they smooching?
	In bed, you don't even see it.
	You don't even...
	I don't think we saw anyone kiss at all.
	What good is it?
	I know my point exactly.
	What good is the show?
	And it's like, it's a big deal.
	Everywhere you go in Los Angeles, there's billboards, the real L word.
	And they're all naked on the billboard.
	But forget it.
	They're naked on the billboard, but not on the show.
	Not on the show.
	It's like a huge jip.
	I hate it.
	So you're looking forward to it, I take it.
	Well, I was, but after, like, it's an hour-long show, too.
	And for the premiere episode, you've got to catch people.
	You've got to get their imagination.
	The premiere episode has to really be suck-em.
	Yeah, no, it was suck-em is what it was.
	Totally lame.
	It was unbelievable.
	But then we didn't miss anything.
	You said we missed it.
	No, we missed talking about it.
	That's all.
	It's obvious that we have a second sense about these things.
	Yes, we knew it was going to suck.
	Hey, did you tweet?
	I didn't tweet.
	Crap.
	Yeah, of course I did.
	I always tweet.
	Just retweet me.
	Oh, there's a concept.
	You just hit the little button that says retweet, boom.
	Okay, but first I got it.
	That's not the same as a...
	That kind of retweeting is not quite the same as posting with an RT. Yeah, but you don't even do a link.
	You're so lazy.
	You just do...
	Put a link in there.
	It says www.agenda.com.
	It's not a link if you don't put HTTP in front of it.
	No, no.
	Oh, no, if you put www, it becomes the link.
	Hmm.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Let me do it now.
	So while we're in the break here, let's talk about our two executive producers.
	Okay.
	I want to thank our two executives.
	One is an executive producer, the other one is an associate.
	And our executive producer for today's show, and Adam will tell you why this is important in a minute after he figures out how to use Twitter.
	Okay, I'm done.
	All right.
	Rakuten, or Konstantin and Rakuten.
	Hey, there's the 916 right on time.
	Yeah, Toronto, Ontario.
	Constantine.
	Constantine would have an E on the end, wouldn't it?
	Yeah.
	Rakuten.
	Constantine Rakuten.
	I was a Greek from Canada.
	Keep up the good work.
	That's it.
	At $333.33, which is at least one of three necessary installments to get you knighthood and a ring in the future.
	John, let me just remind you right at the top of the show.
	Thank you very much.
	And then we have Paid...
	No, no, no, no, no.
	He gave you a whole pronunciation guide.
	Yeah, Paid Snakeus.
	Pate Sneakers.
	He's got it pronounced paid.
	P-A-I-D. How's that?
	Or P plus 8.
	Pate.
	Pate Sneakers.
	Says it right there.
	I'm not saying P plus 8.
	I have an email that says it right here.
	Well, I'm looking at the comments.
	Oh, okay.
	In the morning, John and Adam, this donation is applied karma credit.
	Recently, I got my buddy Tim a job at our company, decided to donate a bit of the finder's fee.
	Oh, that's nice.
	To ensure some karma for others to follow.
	Nice.
	As a side note, a couple weeks ago I started the No Agenda Diet, ridding my diet of all products containing HFCS, that would be high fructose corn syrup, or any other nondescript corn and soy additives in yogurt drinks, for example.
	I've dropped at least 15 pounds in the process.
	Let's hear it for the science being in!
	Hello, science?
	Well, science is in!
	Nice timing.
	Something happened with my science.
	One of my sciences went away.
	It's not like you're giving cue and I'm cueing you to use the sound of cue on the box.
	Let me be clear, he says.
	I love the show.
	I'd like to thank you guys for making me think for myself about pretty much everything.
	Well, that's very cool.
	Yes, that's what we do.
	Our job is to free you from your shackles.
	You know, Mickey, she's with the super actor class.
	Hold on a second, I'm just writing down Sneakers, Sneakers, Sneakers.
	There we go.
	And they have this intensive weekend, and they all hold hands, tell each other a secret.
	Let me just dodge something being thrown at me.
	No, but this is like super duper all working actors stuff.
	And they're all freaking out over Obama.
	Of course, they all voted for Obama and they have lunch and they're all upset and they don't know what to do and they're really angry.
	And then the leader of the instructor, the guru, Eric Morris, he says, Ah, you know.
	The whole world changed when Kennedy got killed for the military-industrial complex, as he puts his revolver down next to him.
	True, true, true.
	And Mickey, and he's like, yeah, you know, that Afghanistan, it's all about oil.
	And then Mickey jumps in and says, yeah, and the poppies, and you could have heard a pin drop.
	No one...
	No one got it.
	She should be quiet.
	And I shut up after that.
	I said, that's probably smart.
	But she promoted the show, so they all should be listening this morning.
	They were like, what was the name of that?
	Noagendashow.com?
	I think they already turned it off.
	After the L word conversation, they were gone.
	What is this shit?
	Who is Mickey hanging out with?
	This is no good.
	So, anyway, I want to thank our executive producer and our associate executive producer, anybody who wants to get into that.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Is Pate an associate or is he an executive?
	He's an associate.
	Oh, I thought he was an executive.
	No, no, no.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Constance is the executive and Pate is the associate.
	And then I want to thank Brad Doherty for a valiant effort, although I'm not quite sure it's usable anymore, but he was able to acquire letsvoteforjobs.com.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	Excuse me, and he's forwarded that to noagendashow.com.
	I think that's cool.
	I don't hear them saying that much anymore.
	Yeah, the meme came out.
	The meme said, let's drop it.
	This isn't working.
	It's embarrassing.
	It's humiliating.
	And there's these two guys doing this show called No Agenda that keep mocking it.
	So let's drop it.
	And by the way, there's just no jobs.
	That's...
	There are no jobs.
	There are no jobs, so we might as well stop.
	So, thank you very much, Konstantin Rakatib.
	Am I saying that right?
	Rakatin.
	Rakatin for supporting the show, being our executive producer, and Pate Snakus.
	For being our Associate Executive Producer, please feel free to put that on your resume, in your email signature.
	It does bring you karma, and it has been known to get jobs.
	It's an official credit.
	You can list it with pride, by the way, because we're not just some jabroni outfit.
	You know, we're real.
	Right?
	Yeah, in fact, but we should mention that Paige's from Amsterdam, and we need to visit.
	No, we don't.
	I do.
	No, I'll tell you why when we get to our Gitmo Nation Lowlands segment.
	All the rest of you out there, there's something you can do.
	It's very simple.
	You need to help us propagate the formula, which is also simple.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	That's right.
	All right, everybody say it together now.
	Shut up, slave.
	And help us out with this process by going to NoAgendaShow.com.
	Click on the donation link or Dvorak.org slash NA. And please do it today.
	Yeah, because we're a completely listener-supported show.
	We will not stop for ads.
	Completely.
	We will stop for lesbians, if they make out.
	You will.
	Not just anyone.
	In Berkeley, we're supposed to run them over.
	Oh, man!
	You know, John, what happens is, you say these things from time to time, and then I get the crap emails.
	Hey, you know, you guys were talking, you said this, Curry.
	I'm like, no, Dvorak said it.
	I didn't say it.
	Because they know it's in jest, but you're thinking it.
	Ah.
	Alright.
	So we have a bunch of weird things that happened this week.
	Quite a few.
	Not to mention the super elites of the world spending a billion dollars to secure themselves of protesters in disguise in Toronto.
	Yeah, you know, let's just stop.
	Is this really true?
	I mean, everyone's reporting it.
	I've got BBC reporting it.
	I've got Canadian News reporting it.
	A billion dollars.
	That's a thousand million dollars.
	I mean, that's the amount that it's going to take to bail out a whole country of Greece.
	I mean, how can you need that for three days of jabroni sitting around smoking and drinking beers?
	How does that work?
	This has to be like a payoff.
	It has to be a payoff to security companies.
	It can't be real.
	That number seems ridiculous.
	And if that's the case, Canada should be ashamed of itself.
	I think they are.
	I think the Canadians are freaking out over this.
	It's ridiculous.
	A billion dollars?
	Wait a minute, just stop.
	We say it too easily.
	A billion dollars.
	A billion.
	On what?
	I mean, you could construct a whole titanium cone over the G20 summit for that kind of money.
	It's crazy.
	I don't get it.
	I think the number is erroneous.
	Yeah, but news like BBC is propagating it.
	They're reporting it, and you have to presume that they have at least checked.
	So you can play Toronto Action, which is the direct report from the G20 Summit, from local news station 680.
	To maintain that, and that's something we're going to continue to do.
	Alright, Constable Wendy Drummond of the Toronto Police Department, thank you very much for joining us live here on 680 News this afternoon.
	Thank you.
	680 News Time 416.
	We're now going to return to 680's Carl Hanske.
	He's live on the line.
	He is close to the burning police cruiser.
	Carl, what's happening now?
	John, my police have now moved forward.
	They're now moving protesters back along base.
	They're going north.
	They move from the south side of Bay and out of here to the north side now and moving people away from the middle of the intersection.
	Before they started doing that, you can hear them banging the batons on their shield.
	Hey, John, can you understand what the guy's saying?
	Yeah, I can.
	What is he saying?
	He's saying the cops are coming here and they're going there and the car's on fire.
	The cop car is made of gold because they spent a billion.
	Oh, listen to it.
	I want to hear the rest.
	I want to hear it.
	Okay, well, anyway, let's...
	The point is that there's activity.
	But what I thought was interesting about the report, which is kind of like in the subtext, is that all these people gathered around where the cops were and where the protesters were and where the tourists were out there.
	He said there were hundreds of people holding up their cell phones, obviously putting on movie mode.
	And it's like, this is the new interesting trend that's going to start taking place during these events.
	Because everybody's cell phone nowadays, especially all the iPhone users, would be typical of a protester.
	What is that supposed to mean?
	I'm not sure myself.
	That was really poor.
	Just because Apple won't send you one for free.
	So anyway, they hold up these...
	I've never asked for one.
	So they hold up...
	Who needs the aggravation of AT&T? So they hold up these cell phones, and they're obviously taking movies left and right.
	So now the police...
	And that's one of the reasons, of course, all the police around the country are trying to make it illegal to take movies of the police, because they're going to be caught doing stuff.
	And which is shameful.
	What's interesting is, you know, just listening to this report from 640 AM, which you can listen to them streaming as well.
	And it sounds no better, by the way.
	Right.
	But I was watching CNN and Fox, and they all were using, like, you know, WiMAX or G3-based devices.
	There was no satellite trucks up there.
	There was a complete shutdown of media.
	They had one guy standing on the street and the connection would keep breaking up.
	And then the Fox host would be like, it's amazing that we have you at all coming in from the riots in Canada.
	It's like, come on!
	There's plenty of satellites.
	And it's all crappy and it keeps fuzzing out.
	No one had a clear picture.
	It was weird.
	Of course, they didn't actually want to show anything.
	No budget.
	No budget.
	Because it was with the weekend crew.
	Like, they didn't know there was going to be all kinds of crap going on up there.
	And under the new law, which I found rather interesting, that there was a five-member panel who passed a law Which is the identification law in Canada, specifically targeted for the G8-G20 summit, that if you are asked for your papers within a certain perimeter of, or certain distance from the perimeter, the security perimeter, you have to show them or you'll be arrested.
	And people who didn't show their papers got thrown in like a wire cage jail.
	Like, go sit there, slave.
	And this law was passed with a five-person panel published on some obscure government website, and it's law now.
	You have to show your papers.
	The people out there are in trouble, man.
	They've got a Gitmo state.
	The Canadians put up with a lot of crap.
	Exactly why they would allow this event to take place in Toronto in the first place.
	It's interrupted everything going on.
	It's not like bringing in the Olympics or a Super Bowl or something where you can actually show the benefits and so far as how much money the locals are going to make on all the businesses because all these tourists are coming in.
	This isn't bringing in any money unless the G20 gives them a billion dollars.
	It's just causing damage to property.
	It's causing riots.
	It's causing destruction of public property like the police car.
	It's causing ill will, bad feelings.
	So why do you choose to have the meeting in your backyard?
	You have to be idiots.
	Who says anyone has a choice up there?
	They have no choice.
	The point is, why is the government choosing to take a beating on this?
	What's in it for the Canadian government to have this meeting in Toronto?
	These meetings should be on islands.
	Well, let's be very clear.
	The government is just happy to conform to the wishes of the Queen, who really runs the country, and who is running the whole...
	These are the true, I think, if you look at the money spent on security...
	And you look at the shroud of secrecy.
	These are the true rulers of the earth.
	These are the people who really make it.
	And it's not just Obama and Sarkozy and little Timmy Geithner and Merkel.
	No, it's the bankers who are up there.
	Because they're all talking about finances and how they're going to screw everybody.
	A billion dollars!
	It slays me.
	And Obama came bearing gifts.
	He had a huge gift.
	I've got to play this for you.
	So amidst all of the oil spill cam coverage, Thursday night, United States legislators stayed up for 19 hours of non-stop negotiations to pass what I am calling the Federal Reserve Empowerment Act, or what the President is calling protecting the little guy.
	But essentially, everything is now rolled up.
	And I've read the bill.
	Now, of course, we have to go through the...
	What is it?
	The two have to come together now.
	Now the House and the Senate have both passed it, and then they go into committee.
	Right, John?
	Yeah, and then they come out with a real bill.
	Right.
	But every single step of the way, it's the Board of Governors, the Board of Governors, the Board of Governors.
	The Board of Governors refers to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, which is a private institution of banks, It is not an official arm of the U.S. government.
	They will now be providing oversight over the banks.
	And it just kills me when I see that.
	I was like, okay, the bankers will regulate the bankers.
	It's perfect.
	So here's our president announcing how happy he is and how happy he is to take this news up to the global elite in Toronto.
	This is coming from the BBC, this particular clip.
	We are poised to pass the toughest financial reforms since the ones we created in the aftermath of the Great Depression.
	Early this morning, the House and Senate reached an agreement on a set of Wall Street reforms.
	Is that even true?
	Didn't we have all kinds of really good reforms after the Great Depression?
	Yeah, but they were all taken out.
	Ah, but we passed them, it's just they were taken out.
	And slowly, Clinton took a lot of them out, you know, Bush finished the job.
	Right, and now Obama is setting up...
	Putting them back.
	No, no, he's setting up the Federal Reserve to really run the show, which is what they always wanted.
	That represents 90% of what I proposed when I took up this fight.
	I wish someone should look at that.
	That's this fight.
	This fight.
	Thanks, fighter.
	Now, let me be clear.
	Let me be clear.
	Shut up, slaves.
	Listen, here it comes.
	Here comes the lie.
	Our economic growth and prosperity depend on a strong, robust financial sector.
	And I will continue to do what I can to foster and support a dynamic private sector.
	We've all seen what happens when there's inadequate oversight and insufficient transparency on Wall Street.
	Right.
	There's some amazing stuff in here.
	It's going to blow your mind, John.
	...Wall Street accountable so we can help prevent another financial crisis like the one that we're still recovering from.
	We'll put in place the toughest consumer financial protections in our history while creating an independent agency to enforce them.
	Through this agency, we'll combine under one roof the consumer protection functions that currently are divided among half a dozen different agencies.
	So this is under one roof.
	That roof is the roof of the Federal Reserve.
	It's absolutely true.
	Go look at the bill.
	Now there will be one agency whose sole job will be the lookout for you.
	You, little people.
	Credit card companies will no longer be able to mislead you with pages and pages of fine print.
	No, that's because they're going to shut down.
	I'm very worried about our bank, John.
	They're going to shut down every single small community and state bank.
	That's what this is all about, the credit card companies.
	Yeah, they're going to shut everybody down.
	You will no longer be subject to all kinds of hidden fees and penalties or the predatory practices of unscrupulous lenders.
	Instead, we'll make sure that credit card companies and mortgage companies play by the rules.
	You'll be empowered with easy to understand form so you know what you're agreeing to.
	So you can get in debt easy.
	Easy to get in debt.
	You'll have the clear and concise information you need to make financial decisions that are best for you.
	Wouldn't it be great if he said, we've got some great ways for you to save?
	Wouldn't it?
	There's no savings involved in this, you can tell.
	No, but it would be great.
	But no, instead it's like, we're going to help you get in debt easier.
	Yeah, we're going to simplify the form.
	There's not going to be any more hidden charges.
	Just put your ex here, slave.
	This will be good.
	Debt, debt, debt, debt, debt.
	Wall Street reform will also strengthen our economy in a number of other ways.
	Stand by.
	We'll make our financial system more transparent by bringing the kinds of complex deals that help trigger this crisis, like trades in a $600 trillion derivatives market.
	Now, did you hear that?
	$600 trillion derivatives market.
	No wonder they had to scramble this to save this shit.
	What are we doing this show for?
	We should have been in that market.
	$600 trillion!
	So that's what they're all so freaked out about.
	If that really started to unwind, like with AIG, I mean, can you imagine?
	Then every institution is broke in one second.
	$600 trillion.
	Yeah, I know that's the reason for saving them.
	Yeah, $600 trillion.
	The number keeps floating around.
	I am actually stunned that he'd be so stupid to drop that number out there.
	No, no, no.
	Which would freak most people out.
	It freaks me out.
	But it seems, I guess, nobody pays much attention to Obama.
	Because I don't remember anybody saying anything.
	Oh my God, what?
	We talked about it being about $100 trillion at least.
	Not $600 trillion, we talked about trillions.
	$100 trillion, I think we talked about.
	But $600 trillion, this is it.
	They're so blatant now.
	This is the transparency.
	When are they going to get to the quadrillion?
	Is that the next number?
	I think so.
	It's got to be.
	After $600 trillion, yeah, you get to $1,000 trillion is a quadrillion, right?
	I'm not sure.
	Whatever it is, we're headed toward it.
	We don't even flinch at a billion anymore for some cops.
	And some burning cars.
	Some overtime.
	It's a billion.
	People can't fathom how much money that is.
	It's outrageous.
	Into the light of day.
	We'll enact the Volcker rule to make sure that banks protected by the safety net of the FDIC can engage in risky trades for their own profit.
	And we'll create what's called a resolution authority to help wind down firms whose collapse would threaten our entire financial system.
	This, I think, that right there is unbelievable.
	So in other words, you can just go ahead, start a financial company, and if you mess it up, the government's going to unwind it for you.
	Don't worry.
	Isn't that, what do you call that?
	What's the phrase?
	Bailing out.
	Yeah, but...
	Fixing.
	No, yeah, those are all correct.
	But, you know, it's not the moral hazard.
	There is no moral hazard, apparently.
	No, but he's basically saying, if you have a bank, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about it, because if it goes wrong, then the government's going to bail you out.
	We'll unwind it.
	Other word for bailing out.
	That's unbelievable that he's just coming out and saying this stuff.
	No longer will we have companies that are quote-unquote too big to fail.
	Exactly.
	Because we'll just unwind them.
	Because they won't fail.
	Because they're not big enough.
	Yeah, they're not going to fail.
	It's bail not fail.
	An Economic Recovery Act, health insurance reform, education reform, and we are now on the brink of passing Wall Street reform.
	Great.
	I like the fact that it said health insurance reform once again after passing Obamacare.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's beautiful.
	This weekend I'll work with other nations not only to coordinate our financial reform efforts, but to promote global economic growth while ensuring that each nation can pursue a path that is sustainable for its own public finances.
	Right!
	There you go.
	In other words, we're going to screw the whole world, and we're going to set it up there in Toronto.
	And I'm coming with my gift.
	My gift is we're ready, boys.
	We've got our central bank running the show.
	How about you?
	The main forum for international economic cooperation.
	The G20 is the right place to discuss such issues.
	That's right.
	Yeah, it is.
	And over the last few days, I hope we can build on our past progress and strengthen the global economy for a long time to come.
	It's fantastic.
	There's no shame anymore.
	We'll just go and say, hey, we're screwing you.
	Let's have a beer.
	This is disconcerting to me.
	It should be.
	Well, I mean, because we don't have any...
	I don't see any stabilization taking place in the economy whatsoever.
	There's no new jobs being created.
	In fact, as we mentioned earlier in the show already, the whole jobs meme, they had to drop it because they were getting nowhere, so they're trying to de-emphasize even discussing jobs.
	It's not about jobs.
	It's about stabilizing the bankers so they can stay on their yachts or whatever they do with their money.
	They get lots of extra money, and it doesn't go back to the public anymore.
	Doesn't do much for the real estate market.
	And so everything's stagnating, except China, which is handling it a little differently, and paying no attention to anything we tell them, which is probably a good thing.
	And it brings up the fact that Harry Dent, one of the stock pickers that we talk about on the Dvorak Horowitz show...
	has predicted that in August the whole economy is going to go into the toilet and we're starting a 10-year depression, which is actually, this is the 10-year depression cycle, which should have begun in 2009, and they've been putting it off, but all they're doing now is making the situation worse with all this.
	Yeah, I listened to the most recent Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged, and you said something very interesting, that in the 70s, I think it was the 70s, that it took...
	Was it $10 trillion or $30 trillion that they had to pump into the economy?
	No, that was in the 1850s.
	Yeah, the same thing.
	Who's counting?
	And they weren't pumping it in.
	It was pumped in automatically.
	Through gold, right?
	Gold discovery.
	Yeah, right.
	And it amounted to a $30 trillion injection.
	And so I was thinking that what you should do is just crank up the printing presses.
	Because the idea is, well, if you print too much money, you're going to go into hyperinflation.
	But there's no evidence of that in this economy.
	We could probably keep printing away and throwing money around, and apparently we feel like throwing money around, hence the billion dollars being spent on cops and overtime, which makes no sense at all.
	And it doesn't do anything.
	The economy is just stagnant.
	So here's how I think the plan works, because all these guys, Obama's the youngest one, and he's just kind of along for the ride, and he's just the spokeshole for these elitists.
	And so I think that they're all kind of like, you know, why don't we go for it now, not leave it to our kids?
	Why don't we start taking everybody's shit?
	Which is how it works in these depressions.
	Well, I'll give you an example.
	In Greece, because now they, of course, were bailed out partially by the IMF and basically by the rich, they've got to now come up with some cash.
	So you know what they're doing?
	They're selling off their islands.
	I swear to God.
	And who would be rich enough to buy an island, Adam?
	Somebody with a lot of money.
	Some banker.
	Bankers.
	So, the Guardian...
	Why are we doing it in broadcasting?
	Yeah, we're stupid.
	The Guardian...
	Reports that an area in Mykonos, one of Greece's top tourist destinations, is just one of the many sites for sale.
	There's even a website now called Private Islands.com.
	Oh, PrivateIslandsOnline.com.
	And you can pick yourself up a nice little private island there in Greece.
	What's the typical price of a...
	Not a big island, but let's just say a medium-sized island with a couple houses.
	As always, it's location, location, location.
	So you can pick up islands, like there's one here in Honduras, which has a massive house built.
	I'm looking at it right now, $1.7 million.
	That's not bad.
	No, it's not bad at all.
	I think we should get a group together of the No Agenda Knights and the rest of us.
	And buy us an island.
	And we should leverage a hedge fund.
	Hedge fund, and we should buy the island, and we could time kind of, you know, split it up.
	It's probably, if the house is big enough, you don't even have to timeshare.
	You just come and go as you please.
	You get your own bedroom.
	No, this is beautiful.
	But if you want something near the Greek islands, you know, then you're talking $20, $30 million minimum, and there's nothing on it, and you've still got to build a house and get infrastructure in there.
	So just an empty island?
	You have to be loaded to buy one of those.
	Only 227 Greek islands are populated, but they have like 6,000 of them.
	Here we go.
	The 1,000 acre Nafsika in the Ionian Sea...
	15 million euros.
	Does it have boat service?
	You can't get to these things.
	If you've got 15 million euros, I don't think the boat is not going to be the issue.
	But it's crazy.
	They're selling off their islands.
	I'm trying not to sell off my aircraft to eat, but when Greece is selling off their islands, that's pretty dire.
	Okay.
	I'm so sorry.
	Somebody's finally concluded, what good are these islands?
	Damn islands.
	They're just sitting there empty.
	You said so yourself.
	So sell them to some guys who got more money than great.
	But who's mentioned here is Richard Branson.
	Oh, Branson needs an island.
	He already has one.
	He has Necker Island in the Caribbean.
	The Barclay brothers.
	Of course, Onassis had his own island, Scorpios.
	You know, you gotta get an island and name it something really nasty.
	Some horrible Greek Scorpios.
	It's Scorpios, everybody.
	It just blows me away.
	It's like, okay, that's fine.
	Just sell your country.
	He said a time.
	Well, you know, our government has so much property.
	We're the biggest land owner in the U.S. government is the biggest land owner in the U.S.A. They own all the parks.
	Well, besides the parks, they have just huge areas of land that they own.
	And actually they've been increasing it by taking people off their property and taking it over for some environmental reason.
	And they could start dumping that stuff, dumping some big chunks here and there.
	There's a lot of money to be made.
	Then they could just take it back public using eminent domain and get it back later.
	But I think that this is kind of the plan.
	It's just like, hey, we'll just take everybody's shit.
	And good and riddance with you.
	And then we've got all the islands.
	Hey, let's chill out on our island.
	Hey, should we have lunch at your island or my island today?
	They really don't care.
	But while all that's taking place, something happening in the capital of the United States of Europe, The capital known as Belgique.
	Le Belgique.
	Did you hear about what's going on in Belgium, John?
	Uh, no.
	It's very interesting.
	Let me play you a clip from Sky News and then we can discuss the response to this horrible...
	He's saying nothing, but police have plenty of questions for the Catholic hierarchy of Belgium.
	Until a few months ago, Godfrey Daniels was the country's archbishop.
	But in rare scenes, religious reverence fell by the wayside as police searched not only his home, but also the headquarters of the church, even bringing a monthly meeting of bishops to a dramatic halt.
	The raids were carried out with regards to statements we received about possible sexual abuse of children supposedly committed by people inside the church.
	So the purpose of the raids was the search for evidence.
	Daniels has already been forced to deny turning a blind eye to the abuses of this man, Belgium's longest serving bishop, Roger Vangelou.
	It was Vangelou's resignation in April which led to the establishment of an independent panel to investigate allegations of widespread abuse by priests.
	Their records have now been seized too, prompting panic amongst hundreds of people who've given confidential evidence.
	So then it goes on about...
	What?
	The police were like a part of it?
	Oh yeah.
	Well, you know where the Dutroux affair started, John?
	In Belgium.
	Belgium is the hub of the pedophile elites throughout all of Europe.
	And so...
	They're in on the game.
	And I think what's happening here is they're going to expose people who complained.
	And that'll really shut them up.
	But anyway, police went in.
	That's a good trick.
	Yeah, of course.
	It's the only thing that's left to do.
	I'm going to interview this guy in Holland who knows so much about this.
	Now, he's the guy that when I interviewed him on the radio station in Holland, they kicked me off the air and took down the whole company.
	So, that may be the end of the no agenda stream.
	But I've got to get this guy on because he knows all the ins and the outs of this.
	And it's lawyers, it's politicians, it goes from Brussels all the way to Turkey.
	It's unbelievable.
	And so, the police confiscated 450 files containing reports of pedophile offenses by members of the clergy.
	That had been submitted to an investigation committee which was established within the church to deal with pedophilia cases.
	And of course they did.
	And there's a link in the show notes that shows some of the stuff that they confiscated.
	I can't even say it on the show.
	Because I could be arrested and would have to register as a sex offender.
	I'm almost worried to post a link to it.
	Maybe you shouldn't.
	No, I should.
	I should.
	But here's the Pope responds to this, and I'm going to read from Reuters so you know it's official.
	Headline, Pope calls Belgian police church raids deplorable.
	Surprising and deplorable, no less.
	In a letter to the head of the Belgian bishops' conference, Benedict expressed his solidarity after Thursday's search of two church offices and the home of a former archbishop, during which computers and files were removed and at least one tomb was opened.
	Belgian bishops were holding a meeting at the time of the raids, were kept incommunicado for nine hours while the searches were conducted.
	And at this sad time, the Pope says, I wish to express my closeness and solidarity for the surprising and deplorable ways in which the searches were carried out.
	Is that the message the Pope should be sending?
	Does that make any sense to anybody listening to this program?
	It doesn't make any sense to anybody listening to this program.
	But to anybody else?
	I don't know.
	I don't think anybody's paying any attention to any of this except in the local area and maybe some...
	Other Catholic people who are interested in this storyline.
	I don't know.
	I don't think anybody's...
	Like I said, nobody...
	It's over.
	We have no way of knowing anything anymore.
	You know, at one point during the Dutroux affair, the Belgians came out, the Walloons actually, and they had the white demonstration and there was a million people on the streets all dressed in white protesting the...
	The government's lack of response and the silence.
	There's a great documentary, the German television that I saw the other day, regarding the Dutru affair.
	I think there's something like 18 witnesses who were all supposed to testify one way or the other have all died.
	Like, one shot himself, a couple, you know, a lot of car crashes.
	They like car crashes there in Belgium.
	Oh, here comes the black helicopter.
	Oh, shit.
	They like car crashes a lot.
	That seems to be their method there.
	But it's just, it's amazing.
	I'm going to get this guy on the stream and do a special thing, because it's so confusing, and he's been on this for years.
	And Michakot is his name.
	Good.
	Well, you can take a few clips from it.
	Yeah, we'll put it on the show.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But it's just unbelievable.
	And no one talks about this.
	You know, it was great for a while there while it was some British bishops and clergy and U.S. And now, oh, it's just Belgium.
	By the way, that's the capital of the United States of Europe.
	Yeah.
	It's where the Presidente of the United States of Europe lives.
	And I think that what's happened here is they've basically...
	The dishrag guy.
	Basically, they've taken all the evidence, and they're going to out all the people who registered complaints, and you're going to never hear about it again.
	Nope, and half those people end up dead.
	It's unbelievable.
	You had something here on Al Gore.
	Yeah, talking about sex molester, you know, that story has not gotten any legs in any of the mainstream media, which, of course, we've deconstructed to mean that, you know, they have an agenda.
	Except, for some reason, extra, you know, extra, extra, you know, that junk show has at least done something, even though I'd hardly call it much of a report, but you might as well play it.
	My exclusive interview with Bachelor Jake's coming up, but right now, another Al Gore scandal.
	First, it was the cheating rumors, and now, accusations of sexual assault.
	Jerry's got the police reporting what Al's saying today.
	The breakup, forced to deny cheating claims, and now Al Gore's bad month just got worse.
	The shocking allegation today, Gore, the target of a sex charge investigation.
	Extra with a 73-page police report listing Gore as the suspect.
	The allegation, unwanted sexual contact.
	The woman leveling the stunning claims, a 54-year-old massage therapist who says it all went down during and after she gave him a massage in this posh Portland hotel.
	She says it was 2006, one day before Gore appeared at this fundraiser, just a few months after the premiere of Gore's...
	Did you say something?
	Nope.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	...documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.
	I am Al Gore.
	I used to be the next president of the United States of America.
	Gore attorneys have denied the story, calling it completely false.
	Now Extra launching our own investigation.
	Exhibit A. The case is already closed.
	Police shutting the book on this one back in 07, saying there was insufficient evidence.
	Police said they would have investigated.
	She never filed charges.
	Exhibit B. The National Enquirer says the woman only went back to police last month after she failed to sell her story for $1 million.
	But the most important exhibit could be DNA evidence.
	One report says the woman has the pants she wore on the alleged day locked away in a safety deposit box.
	The question now, what should Al Gore do next?
	Until Al Gore comes out and talks about this in some capacity, these rumors are just going to kind of percolate and stay around.
	Today, a spokesman tells Extra that Gores have no comment on the report.
	It's pretty funny that they're pulling out the same playbook when they needed to get rid of Clinton.
	They're pulling out the sperm spot on the clothes...
	Supposedly it's in the safe deposit box.
	You ain't going into the bank...
	What the heck?
	What is that stench?
	So I'll remain by my assertion and general theory that Al's plan backfired, didn't work.
	He didn't get everyone believing in global warming the way it was supposed to happen so that we could introduce these global carbon taxes.
	And a trading system.
	And a trade, which he also set up, by the way.
	Right, he set it up, and he probably got a lot of investors involved, because he didn't have...
	Yeah, ex-Goldman guys, actually.
	Yeah, Goldman guys, and so now it's like...
	He's got to go, he's got to go, because we've got the BP spill, and that's the one that's really going to do it.
	The BP spill is all we need.
	This is what's going to bring in cap and trade, I'm sorry, an energy strategy.
	That's what it's being called now.
	We need an energy strategy, John.
	And so this is going to happen somewhere.
	By the way, the renaming idea, it works so well.
	It's the only way.
	They finally dawn on you just keep renaming things until you get a good name.
	I think the Republicans knew this.
	And everyone's happy.
	It's pretty funny, though, that we had this huge benefit for Haiti.
	You know, everyone was, oh, we're crying.
	Which, by the way, don't hear much about them anymore, do you?
	And then CNN, Larry King, we're going to have a huge celebrity telethon for the Gulf.
	They had like five no-name actors, and he kept teasing Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber, who wasn't even there live.
	He was on a videotape.
	They drugged the kid.
	Say this, kid.
	And they didn't even have, like, phone sounds ringing.
	It was really poorly produced.
	No one gives a crap.
	They got the wrong guy.
	No one gives a crap about it.
	And, uh...
	Actually, I got some pretty good clips.
	That may actually be the meme that they want.
	What?
	That nobody gives a crap about them.
	I got some interesting clips here.
	First of all, about the...
	The depth that this...
	You and I had some disagreement on that.
	And Panorama, a fine BBC program, did a very frightening report, a half-hour special.
	And they put some of the events into a timeline, which is interesting.
	I've got the first clip here, which talks about something that happened just on the very day of the explosion of the Transocean Deepwater Rig, as it's called, I believe.
	And they talk about the depth, but I think this is not even really true, but at least it's more than you believe it was.
	Here we go.
	41 miles off the coast of Louisiana, one of the most impressive oil rigs in the world once towered over the Gulf of Mexico.
	It was called the Deepwater Horizon.
	At 2.30 p.m.
	on April 20th, BP's regional vice president for drilling and executives from Transocean, which owns the rig, visited.
	They came partly to celebrate.
	The rig was drilling fantastically deep, through a mile of water and down into two miles of earth.
	So that would be...
	Like 15,000 to 20,000 feet.
	Now, I believe that it was deeper.
	I think they were closer to 35,000 feet.
	Why would they lie about it?
	What difference does it make?
	I don't think they actually know.
	But still, this is very...
	Of course they know.
	If you're drilling...
	No, Panorama doesn't know.
	Here's another one.
	You can do the math.
	Panorama doesn't know.
	They're just reporting...
	But again, I'm asking the question, what difference does it make whether it's 100,000 feet?
	Oh, no, the reason why it makes a difference is because there's documentation of the Russians who drilled down past 40,000 feet And hit a similar type of mother load, and they had to cap that with an atomic bomb.
	That's why they were talking about that in the very early days, and everyone was, oh no, we don't want an atomic bomb.
	But the Russians, and this was in 1966 or 67, and the pressure was so enormous that they couldn't do anything.
	It was on land, that's why they were able to do something at all, but they had to cap it with an atomic bomb.
	So that's why it's significant how deep they were, because I think once you go beyond that, you know, 30,000 feet, you get into this motherlode of, you know, the center of the earth, which could be a giant fireball for all I know.
	Anyway, so the big bosses come on board.
	They chop her in.
	Yay, everybody, it's great!
	We've hit the motherlode!
	Attacked Rich's leg.
	The Deepwater Horizon was pushing the frontiers of technology.
	Drilling this deep is dangerous.
	They were celebrating seven years with no accidents.
	Now, if you don't believe the Russian story, there's actually a plaque that the Russians put up to commemorate what happened where they drilled down past 42,000 feet.
	Now, the next piece is significant because I've read this quote in multiple places.
	I've never actually heard the actual quote itself or someone involved in this scandal saying it outright.
	So, remember, on the day, all the bosses came in and everyone's there and we're celebrating because we've hit the mother load and we've done it.
	And then, of course, the thing blows up.
	And then this happens that night on board of the supply ship.
	As the rig went down, two survivors on the supply ship heard a Transocean manager making a phone call.
	They relayed the story to their lawyer.
	Jimmy Harrell, they said, shouted at his bosses.
	We don't know if he was talking to BP or Transocean, but he didn't mince his words.
	Harrell said the disaster was predictable.
	He was on a satellite telephone talking to headquarters in Houston, and he was saying, are you f***ing happy?
	It f***ing happened.
	I told you it was going to f***ing happen.
	I am f***ing calm.
	Don't tell me to calm down.
	The rig is burning.
	Do you understand what happened here?
	I told you this was going to happen.
	BP says it's aware of the allegation, but won't comment whilst investigations are ongoing.
	Transocean says it's not commenting on what has been said by individuals.
	So, that was the quote that I've read a lot about, is that, you know, this guy's, and by the way, the beeps are a four-letter word.
	Of course, you can't say that in Gitmo Nation.
	So I think the bosses came on board that day and the guy was like, you know, we really need to stop.
	This is really not okay.
	This has happened before with the Russians and we don't want to be here.
	We're in the mother load.
	We're in abiogenic oil.
	This is the oil that is actually recreated all the time, dispelling the myth of peak oil and that dinosaur bones create oil or created oil.
	And they knew it was going to blow, that there was a possibility.
	And it did.
	You still there, John?
	Yeah, no, I was just listening.
	I think a lot of people, the story about the Schlumberger guy kind of falls in with this.
	I have to look into this Russian thing.
	Well, I'll put the links in the show notes.
	They're not all from Prison Planet, are they?
	No, they're not from Prison Planet.
	Or Rents.
	No.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Okay, fine.
	Here's something from the Washington Post, which I would say sounds a bit like a trial balloon.
	Let me just find it here.
	Um...
	Crapola.
	Where did I put it?
	Okay, hold on.
	I'm sorry.
	I seem to have lost.
	This was like my punch.
	Well, just tell us what it is.
	Okay, well, it is kind of important.
	Okay, so in the Washington Post, I think I have it here.
	Guy comes out.
	Guy is an oil executive.
	And he says, you know, we might have to evacuate 20 million people in the Gulf.
	Here it is.
	I found it.
	Washington Post.
	What's the guy's name?
	He is...
	Matt Simmons from Simmons& Co., oil investment firm, says, since the April 20th blowout...
	Oops.
	I'm really fucking this up.
	The unflagging source of end of the world predictions.
	Can you imagine evacuating 20 million people?
	This story is 80 times worse than I thought it was.
	And that's because it's not just oil that they hit.
	There's all kinds of crap coming up.
	And we talked about this on previous shows.
	You know, the people are dying.
	They're dying from intoxicating fumes.
	The CDC, I think, is now...
	Oh, where's this link?
	I got so much here.
	Yes, CDC says, people, including pregnant women, can be exposed to chemicals by breathing them, swallowing them, or by touching them.
	If possible, everyone, including pregnant women, should avoid the oil and spill-affected areas.
	What does that tell you?
	This is not just a simple oil spill.
	There's stuff bubbling up and they hit something really massive.
	And what if they actually have to evacuate the entire Gulf region?
	Where are they going to go?
	Where are we going to put 20?
	It's probably more.
	Sounds like a good way to do a Florida land grab.
	Yeah, possibly.
	Reports that BP is now hiring their own reporters.
	Which I think is mint.
	It's just beautiful, isn't it?
	They've got a big budget for this.
	Oh, yeah.
	They're super.
	They just don't go bankrupt and say, hey, we're out of here.
	You, Obama, you can go fix it.
	Well, the whole...
	So there's a couple interesting side notes.
	So, of course, this is the mother load, and the way I see it, they're going to reinstall or reinstate the moratorium on all offshore drilling, which, by the way, includes Alaska, too.
	It's all offshore drilling.
	It's not just in the Gulf.
	It's Alaska as well.
	Anywhere.
	And off the coast of California, it all has to stop.
	And the only one who's allowed to continue is BP because they're drilling these side wells.
	Wouldn't it be hilarious if the side wells just made it worse and they started leaking so we had three vents?
	It's possible, although logic tells you that if you make these side vents, it should reduce the pressure somewhat.
	And BP's just going to sit there and suck it all up.
	And of course, this incident has caused insurance to skyrocket.
	Link in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	So it basically cuts out all smaller competitors.
	The only one left will be BP or whoever eventually acquires BP if they have to go bankrupt.
	Doesn't matter.
	It's just a paper shuffle.
	And they'll be the rulers of the universe, because they'll have all the oil that they ever need.
	It's all just bubbling up from the abiogenic source, so it never ends.
	That's why it's not being stopped, because the whole plan is for BP to actually, or whoever takes over BP, to actually sit on this source by themselves.
	No one else can afford the insurance.
	No one else is allowed to sit there by law.
	They get it all yippee-ki-yay.
	Well, that's not absolutely true.
	I mean, the Russians can always drill, and they don't care about insurance anyway.
	Yeah, but they're not in that region.
	No, in that region, there would definitely be fewer players.
	How many players are in there now?
	I mean, we know there's a lot of independents, or I thought it was just big boys drilling that, especially that kind of a drill job.
	Well, like Exxon is much smaller, for example.
	Exxon can afford it.
	Well, I think Exxon possibly would acquire BP, but it could also be Shell.
	I thought that somewhere I had a report from the BBC, which was kind of funny.
	Let me see if I can find that.
	Maybe not.
	But it's just...
	I can't find it.
	But to me, it seems pretty obvious that there's no incentive.
	We're going to have to evacuate the whole area.
	And that's pretty bad, and no one is considering this.
	The mainstream media, I don't see anyone reporting on the toxicity of the air and people falling down dead and BP not allowing workers to use gas masks because they don't want the bad PR. It's just...
	Well, it's a developing story.
	Yeah, you think?
	Now they said today's news is that BP wants to start from square one.
	What does that mean?
	No, I didn't see that.
	Square one?
	You know, all these things we try, we try to do this and the hat and the could and the bleed and the blob.
	And I think we should start off from scratch.
	Sorry.
	So how do they do that?
	I don't know.
	It just seems they're going to start doing the same things.
	The things that didn't work, they're going to try them over again.
	I have no idea.
	Well, this is totally the downfall of Obama.
	Because everyone who voted for him is freaking out over this.
	Freaking out, I tell you.
	And unfortunately, people don't take the time to think a little differently, which is, I guess, kind of what we try to do on this show.
	Because if you actually have the...
	The guts for a minute just to consider that what you're being told is exactly the opposite of the truth, then you actually, you know, you can kind of flow through all the bullshit.
	Yeah, well, nobody else is going to give you opposite perspectives, so you have to make it up.
	And then you work with that.
	By the way, so I have a clip talking about opposite perspectives.
	That guy, you know, the guy who wrote the book on denialism?
	Oh, yeah.
	What's his name again?
	He was on Colbert.
	And I didn't realize, I can see, if you just watch this guy, you know there's something wrong with him.
	His head bobs all over the place.
	He looks like a Tourette's guy, you know, to an extreme.
	He's weird looking.
	He's got this gray hair.
	And I've got this one little...
	And then you realize he's nuts because...
	Play this.
	...to hinder scientific progress.
	Sell me on science.
	Hi.
	No problem.
	Do you want to die when you're 37 or when you're 86?
	I'm already older than 37, so...
	Okay, so you're on your way.
	I'm on my way, exactly.
	Do you want your kids to grow up or do you want...
	What do you mean?
	Let's go back to this one.
	37 or 86.
	How long did Methuselah live, sir?
	38.
	That's a proven fact now.
	What?
	Yes, 38.
	What?
	What?
	Wait a minute.
	I never saw Colbert.
	Wait a minute.
	He's stunned.
	His eyebrows went up and he goes, what?
	Yeah, it's a proven fact.
	What?
	Who's proven this fact?
	Methuselah is some character in the Bible.
	Science is in!
	I mean, this shows you this is the kind of nut balls are out there that are essentially in control of the media.
	ABC News.
	Vaccine refusal puts kids at risk for whooping cough.
	Children of parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated against whooping cough are 23 times more likely.
	Not 22 times or 24.
	Not 23 percent.
	23 times more likely to develop the disease than children who get the shots, according to a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
	And here's the follow-up story.
	Whooping cough now epidemic in California.
	California is the epicenter of vaccine refusal in the United States.
	Isn't that weird?
	Yeah.
	We may run over our lesbians in Berkeley, but at least we don't take vaccine shots.
	I think that's odd.
	I'll tell you why I think that's odd, because I don't believe it.
	California is very much susceptible to whatever the media tells them to do.
	And when they had the H1N1, I took pictures of it.
	It was over here in Albany.
	Everyone was in line.
	They were all lining up.
	There was a huge line.
	This line went blocks and blocks and blocks.
	This doesn't look like people that refuse vaccines.
	And what is whooping cough?
	Can you die from that?
	Yeah, well, you can't get your breath yet if you're a little baby.
	It's a bad disease.
	I mean, this is part of the early shots that all kids get, that diphtheria, whooping cough, and some other thing.
	And it's not unusual for every kid to have that shot.
	So this is I don't know what I think is the vaccine meme.
	They're trying to get back into the into the into play so they can get these phony vaccines in the public consciousness.
	These non vaccines that are called vaccines.
	I'm sure of it.
	There's something else weird going on with chronic fatigue syndrome.
	Which is now labeled as ME-CFS-CFIDS. I don't know what the ME is, but the CFIDS is Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome, which should ring a bell because that sounds a lot like AIDS or HIV. Apparently, blood banks are refusing people who have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
	It's a bogus...
	What?
	Yeah.
	Blood banks are refusing...
	Hey, man, I'm tired.
	Oh, get out of here.
	We don't want no blood from you.
	But this seems to be like...
	There's something wrong with everyone.
	What is XMRV? How would I know?
	It's like a retrovirus of some sorts.
	I wish I was a doctor.
	I could figure this stuff out.
	But apparently there's a link between XMRV, a retrovirus, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
	And they're relating this to HIV. And all I know is that people who have the chronic fatigue syndrome are now being refused as blood donors.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	That's all I know.
	This is just an awareness thing.
	We might as well take a break here and talk about our donations because it's not going to take very long since we really haven't got any.
	This is meant to cheer me up.
	This is a knighthood.
	You have three knighthood layaways that came in, which is DUIhelp.com, Barry Wilson, and OKC Defensive Tactics.
	But we did get a check in the mail from Rich Semel, who is in the mail.
	Interesting note he sent.
	It's 5510, two double nickels on the dime.
	I've not been able to donate until now due to the fact that my wife and I are providing financial assistance for our two youngest daughters to help them with college and living expenses.
	Yes, the mission was accomplished last month with both receiving their undergraduate degrees.
	Anyway, I'm still broke and don't have any money.
	However, my kids gave me a couple of dollars for an upcoming birthday on June 25th.
	I also found some money lying on the ground.
	I think there's a second guy that's found money lying on the ground.
	So I'm passing along 5510 with some of the windfall.
	And that was the check that came in?
	Yeah, check.
	Oh, that's cool.
	That's very nice.
	I appreciate that.
	And good on you for sending your kids to school.
	Well, we should give him a June 25th birthday call-out.
	Well, why don't we do that?
	Hold on a second.
	All right, hit it, John.
	Happy birthday to Rich Semel, pronounced like Semel.
	And he gave us a, he wanted to say happy birthday, and he said, he also says a P.S. I sent a money order because I didn't want my wife to know I was sending a couple of coops.
	A couple of coops?
	While we're at it, David Lambert sent in $33.33.
	I guess he's on his own little Lucky Karma program there.
	And he says, I'd like to give a birthday shout-out to my brother, Daryl Lambert.
	All right, everybody.
	That's it.
	Happy birthday from the No Agenda crew.
	And curiously, even though we didn't get any money, we did have, and I would remind people to please support the show.
	It is listener-supported.
	I thought we did a good show last time, and I'm surprised we got zero, except for our producers, executive producers.
	But we did have an interesting phenomenon, which is our first knighthood layaway finally paid off.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	That's awesome, isn't it?
	Yeah, Barry Wilson of Coffs Harbor, New South Wales.
	So that's 20 weeks worth of layaway, I guess.
	Yeah.
	Or is it 20 months?
	20 months.
	So he signed up immediately.
	Well, let's do it, man.
	Barry Wilson, kneel before us.
	John Unsheath.
	Oops.
	Did you nick yourself there?
	Yeah, I did.
	I'm cut.
	Barry, this is truly a great day and we're very proud to have you as our first Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable as a layaway candidate.
	So we now officially knight the Sir Barry Wilson, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Please join us here for some hookers and blow.
	That's great.
	So we should have a couple of those guys coming.
	Yeah, they'll be coming in now.
	That's great.
	By the way, Barry is spelled B-A-R-R-I-E and we're assuming it's a male.
	Rings.
	I just gotta keep saying rings.
	Where are the rings?
	Yeah, I got the big note, the big thing on the wall.
	And would you please send me the picture of Mickey in the t-shirt so I can put that in the show notes?
	Okay.
	I'd like to have it exclusive to the Dvorak Uncensored page, but I'll send it to you today.
	Oh, please.
	So, Barry Wilson, thanks.
	No.
	By the way, I'm worried that Barry Wilson is a female name.
	It's B-A-R-R-I-E. She would be a dame.
	Yeah, but we'll find out.
	Well, we can always unknight and re-dame her.
	But I have a feeling we're going to be okay with Barry as a knight.
	I mean, odds are in our favor.
	So, yeah, so the way this program works, and if you've listened all the way up to this point and you're new to the show, you can tell that there's no way any advertiser would ever want to be related in any way whatsoever to the show.
	We don't like advertising because, well, quite frankly, it...
	It co-determines what you can do and what you can't do.
	It interrupts the flow of the show.
	And it's a corrupting influence, and I would like you to play the PBS slash Big Three clip, which is the latest, the big, at the end of the news hour.
	Oh, wait a minute, John.
	Wait a minute.
	You're talking about...
	At the end of the news hour on PBS, they list all these foundations and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and all these people that are giving them millions of dollars to do the news, which is nothing like the 50 or 60 bucks we get.
	But the big three, they put right at the top of the list.
	Right as soon as they finish the show, they have three big players that give them the most money.
	Before we play it, take a guess on three, Adam.
	What do you think it might be?
	I will say Boeing, Monsanto, and General Electric.
	Yeah, it's good, but you missed all three of them.
	Here's the big three.
	David Brooks, among others.
	Thank you and good night.
	Major funding for the PBS NewsHour has been provided by...
	Bank of America, continuing to help fuel our nation's economic growth.
	Chevron, this is the power of human energy.
	That's right, we're burning you.
	BNSF Railway.
	Oh, no!
	Fantastic!
	It wraps it up.
	I mean, you got your bank, you got your energy company.
	Chervon could buy out BP, by the way.
	And then you have...
	Trains.
	All aboard!
	Trains good, planes bad.
	Woo-hoo!
	So, do you think these guys are going to cover any of these things?
	Yeah, of course.
	They're going to cover lots of train news, how we need some high-speed rail.
	That's what we need.
	High-speed rail is good.
	And, well, we should totally bankrupt BP so Chevron can buy them.
	And we're protecting you with our Bank of America.
	We're fueling the economies.
	That's right.
	That's good!
	That's disgusting.
	It's disgusting, despicable, deplorable, and it is the reason you need to donate, not just to us, but to all independent media, before it gets shut down.
	Yeah, we should have it any minute.
	Especially if Adam keeps going on with this pedophile stuff.
	Yeah, well, I'd rather go down in flames.
	It's all a part of Executive Order 11-490, which was installed by President Nixon.
	And I put a link in the show notes of this puppy.
	What is Executive Order?
	What is it about?
	Assigning emergency preparedness functions to federal departments and agencies.
	This is the executive order that allows the president to shut down everything.
	That's it.
	Shut down everything.
	Need I say more?
	And when you read it, you just go, what?
	What?
	What?
	Shut down everything.
	I mean, everything.
	Guns, communications, banks, everything.
	And I found this through some guy who's been fighting this since the 1970s.
	I guess it was...
	What was it?
	Yeah, Nixon era.
	He's been trying to get this, I don't know if you can repeal a presidential order.
	Yeah, you can.
	You just change, do another order.
	Right.
	But you think Obama's going to do that, or anyone?
	No.
	But it's really fun to watch and to read.
	It's just like, oh my God.
	They can take away your property.
	Just everything.
	It is the end of the world.
	And this is why, and it can only go into effect when there's a state of emergency.
	And I think we've been under a state of emergency for the past 15 years.
	Situation orange.
	Yeah.
	I like the fact that the alert level orange is now a permanently printed sign at every airport.
	I know.
	It's not even, you can't even flip it to a different color.
	It's just orange.
	No, it's just orange 100% of the time.
	No matter what.
	No.
	Well, they're reinstating the CLEAR program that's been bought up by a new bunch of dudes.
	The funniest thing when it comes to trains good, planes bad, was these two poor little girls who were on an AirTran Airways, were going home to Milwaukee from Atlanta, and they had a two-inch turtle.
	And they were not allowed.
	They took it on the plane, but the crew turned around.
	The plane had the taxi back so they could unload the two-inch turtle.
	What?
	Yes.
	They could not have the turtle on the airplane.
	Why?
	What's the turtle going to do?
	Attack a stewardess?
	It's a dangerous turtle.
	They had to throw it in the trash.
	They had to throw it in the trash, John.
	And she's got a picture of her with this little turtle.
	Oh my God.
	Company policy bars animals and other than cats, dogs, and household birds.
	A two-inch turtle.
	Because they can carry salmonella.
	Here it is.
	Because they can carry salmonella bacteria.
	So what?
	The stewardess can carry Salmonella and probably does.
	Amongst other things.
	AirTran.
	AirTran.
	I guess the regional airline.
	They're actually all over the place.
	It's a slipshot operation.
	Obviously.
	Unbelievable!
	See, this is the problem we're having with this.
	It's the education system.
	Nobody's being taught common sense or proper judgment.
	It's like these people are completely out of control.
	I'm glad you bring this up, John, because I am on a continuing mission.
	I'm very happy you brought up the educational system so that I can work on you.
	So, in the...
	Center Point Learning Science One Essential Interaction Science Book, which is taught at schools.
	Under the Solutions for Global Warming section, which is section 5.19, it features a photo of a big multi-engine jet, and the caption reads, Figure 1.
	Jet engines running on richer fuel would add particles to the atmosphere to create a sunscreen.
	The logo on the plane says Particle Air.
	Here's the question.
	Could we deliberately add particles to the atmosphere, asked the techs, before helpfully suggesting that burning coal adds soot to the air.
	That's right.
	We're teaching our kids about the legality and necessity of chemtrails.
	By spraying stuff in the atmosphere, we can stop global warming.
	Don't you love it?
	Well, I'm sure you do.
	So, well, we're on the subject of education.
	Can I just finish up the chemtrails?
	I don't think there's anything to finish.
	Yeah, I'd like you just to hear one short little 10-second clip.
	From the history of the UK? Fifty years ago, secret biological warfare trials were carried out in the skies and on the streets of East Anglia without the public knowing.
	So alarming are our discoveries that tonight's program is an Inside Out special.
	So you need to go watch that.
	Link in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com how the United Kingdom sprayed East Anglia from the sky with chemicals and it is now coming to the surface.
	So, back to the point.
	Chemtrails are real, and I will convince you.
	They're real bogus.
	I will convince you.
	Well, the first thing you said is, it doesn't work.
	It's not possible.
	And I think...
	You have to do a simple calculation.
	You have to dump so much stuff.
	So, but they did it.
	They did it in the United Kingdom.
	And they're teaching our kids that we can do it to combat global warming.
	So...
	Clearly someone...
	If it's going to combat global warming, it doesn't mean those particles are going to stay in the sky to cause a little cooling.
	It's not dropping down to Earth.
	So the whole premise is bogus if you're going to base it on chemtrails because you're saying that the stuff's sprayed and it doesn't dissipate up in the upper atmosphere or even at 10,000 feet.
	It comes dribbling down and gets us all wet and then we're real happy because we...
	I'm saying two separate things.
	One is...
	That we're teaching kids that spraying stuff in the air is going to be okay, and the other one is they have done it in the past.
	John, I've sat here outside on the deck of the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center and watched one of what you would call a contrail float down onto my house.
	Right.
	Yes.
	Whoa, I thought you stopped smoking dope.
	I have pictures of it, and it just floated right down onto my house.
	Yeah, right onto my house.
	I even tweeted about it at the time.
	Are you feel calmer now?
	No, I feel sicker.
	You know, we're right near the L.A. What's the point of these chemtrails?
	Well, there's...
	Do you want to get into it now?
	No, we'll talk about it some other time.
	I want to finish this thing.
	I had a nice clip that was going to lead right into those idiots.
	You're a denialist.
	And you have to talk about contrails.
	Chemtrails.
	You're a denialist.
	Okay, now let's talk about your education.
	No, no, no.
	Let's do it now.
	It's good.
	I'm good for it.
	I'm done.
	Every week, I have an agenda.
	I admit it.
	We disagree on something, but you just don't want to have the conversation.
	That's not fair.
	So I'm done.
	I'm done.
	I'm done.
	I'm done for today.
	Thanks.
	I'm done for today.
	It's about time.
	You don't need to throw those little jabs out.
	Don't ridicule me.
	It's crazy.
	That's why this is crazy talk.
	Okay.
	I'll actually give you a break on some of these other ideas of yours, but this one is just off the wall.
	Well, I'm going to keep coming at you with what I feel is evidence and or proof.
	It's okay, so I'm done for this week, and Thursday maybe I'll have more.
	Idiot supervisor on Mexico.
	Let's have a listen.
	If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this, saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would have But this is a state that is always removed from the border, Mr.
	Chairman, I just wanted to assure my colleague that Arizona does in fact share a border with the country of Mexico.
	What the hell was that?
	Are you playing that through the speakers?
	It sounded terrible.
	This woman, Peggy West, who's a supervisor in some county called Milwaukee County.
	I assume it's in Wisconsin.
	But all these little areas that have nothing to do with Arizona are making, oh, let's stop trading with Arizona.
	They won't let a state do what it's supposed to do, which is, you know, create its own laws.
	And so this idiot comes out and says that she wouldn't mind it so much if, you know, if someplace like Texas, which has a border with Mexico, would pass a law like this.
	She'd reconsider it.
	But Arizona is deep in the country someplace, somewhere she doesn't know where I am.
	By the way, we're on the border with Mexico, you idiot.
	It.
	So she's like, and this is a classic, this is the education system at work.
	And I think there's a whole slew of things that need to be explored a little more.
	And the idea that kids should, you know, you can't lose at sports and we should, you know...
	We shouldn't be competitive.
	We shouldn't do this.
	We shouldn't do that.
	Brought up another example.
	This came up.
	This woman, Bay Buchanan, who is Pat Buchanan's sister and a campaign manager type.
	A really interesting person.
	She was on C-SPAN. Yes, which we watch so you don't have to.
	Giving a lecture on the Arizona law, which I have, unfortunately, I couldn't cut it down enough to put that in.
	But she brought up this very interesting point about people that she hires, and especially women, she says, that are coming out of college today.
	Have got to stick up their ass.
	They won't take a job.
	They won't do anything.
	This has been a problem throughout a number of generations, most recently, where they think everything's beneath them, so they won't do anything.
	And there's just going to be bums on the street if the economy collapses, which it's going to do.
	But play Buchanan on interns.
	I'm glad that it was so helpful to you.
	I find that over the years when I would hire young people, like yourselves, that early on in the Reagan days, I would have people, some didn't even have college education, and others had a college education and weren't sure what they wanted to do, but I could train them.
	I could say, do this, do this, and they would be really hardworking and very excited about being part of this campaign and willing to do anything.
	But as the years passed, I noticed that especially a lot of the women, men as well, but especially the women, there was this tendency to say, you know, I'd say, listen, there's an opening.
	I just have a receptionist.
	But I always hire, you know, I always move people up.
	If something opens up, we'll give you an opportunity.
	Well, I have a college degree.
	You know, I shouldn't be a receptionist.
	And I'm like, yeah, well, somebody's got to be the receptionist, either you or me, so I think maybe you should take this job, you know?
	And, you know, and then after like a month as a receptionist, I said, look, a receptionist is a great job.
	In the Reagan campaign, you had like four or five receptionists.
	And then, you know, the press secretary would come by and say, I need somebody, and that gal seems to be really efficient, good on the phone.
	Can you move her up to my shop?
	You know, and so then she'd get press experience, you know, and someone else would move to a research department.
	But It was a terrific opportunity to get known by the people in the campaign.
	And yet, later on, these women, they said, well, we were told that we should never do anything that's beneath our education level.
	And I'm saying, well, I stuff and seal envelopes, and I have a master's degree in math.
	So, what's that say?
	And so then, there's one gal who I then made from the receptionist to an assistant to the treasurer, and she says, listen, I think it'd be better if I just worked on my own, rather than to be an assistant to somebody.
	This person had like three months from college to graduation, and I was constantly saying, where do you think you're going?
	And this was permanent.
	Every time I'd hire somebody, they felt they had this attitude that they should be in policy or something.
	And so what I would do is I'd find somebody that I could actually say, would you mind going and get me lunch?
	Just get me lunch because I'm dying here.
	I need somebody to run down and get me lunch.
	And if I got any attitude from them like, oh, she wants me to get her lunch, then I never asked again.
	But I would find somebody else.
	And then when the candidate was flying into town, I would say to the guy, or the young man, or mostly it was the young men who were most willing to get me something, and then I would say, could you pick up the candidate at the airport?
	And they were like, oh my golly, you know, private time with the candidate.
	And I'd put them on the road in Iowa.
	Because I knew I could trust them, I knew that they'd had the right attitude, they would work their heads off, they wouldn't complain about what they needed to get done.
	And that's what you need to do.
	And so my feeling is, and the message I give to young people...
	is learn everything you can.
	This is a fascinating point which I have witnessed firsthand.
	You know, we've hired a lot of people.
	I've hired a lot of people over the years.
	And the difference even between the mid-90s and the past couple years is astounding.
	That's what she says.
	Yeah, and that's what she said.
	And I will have to agree that a lot of...
	Female candidates who I have hired or have been hired in my companies, or even people we've spoken to in Los Angeles for some work assisting Mickey with some stuff.
	It's amazing where if they have a degree, usually it's in marketing, And you're like, well, you know, so basically you're going to have to help with, you know, and it's one or two days a week maybe, you know, help with the receipts and sort some shit out and fix my calendar, you know, stuff that she, Mickey needs like a Sex and the City assistant.
	And they're like, well, yeah, but I want to write the marketing plan and talk about the pillars of the, what?
	What?
	And they don't actually, none of them actually want to do any work.
	And I have noticed this.
	No, they want to be the boss.
	Well, there's some thing that's...
	This has happened in the schools.
	Yes, I agree.
	There's one little line she has in there.
	She says, I was told that I shouldn't work below my, you know, whatever I perceive myself as.
	Right.
	I was told by who?
	Or that you have some right, if you have gone through college, you have the right to get a certain job, and you don't have that right.
	Who told them that, though?
	The school's the schooling system, of course.
	Yes, but when did it start, and who was responsible?
	Because she says that it just started a couple of years ago, just the way you saw it.
	Like, maybe two or three years ago, this began in earnest.
	I mean, I've seen it before.
	In California, you've seen this forever.
	Let me take a guess.
	A lot of these people started thinking about going to college right around the dot-com, the height of the dot-com.
	Maybe a little bit after.
	But they were still, even past the bubble bursting, well into 2003-2004, There was inflated job compensation levels, people getting cars and cell phones and huge salaries.
	And of course that wasn't sustainable and companies just had to cut back on that and it just all kind of stopped and certainly in the past few years.
	But these kids were in college and I guess their college funds were already filled up and everything was paid for.
	But they went in thinking that, oh, all you need is a degree.
	A degree in marketing, preferably, or marketing communications is my favorite.
	And then you're guaranteed to get some high-paying job with flexible working hours and a lease car and a cell phone.
	And I think it's partially the milieu that was around when they went into school, and then schools, which are most of them now commercial institutions, saying, hey, you know, you come in here, you get this degree, look at all these candidates, look at how great they're doing.
	So you think you have some kind of right.
	And these kids are young, impressionable, they don't know any better.
	And then you learn marketing, marketing communication.
	Remember, those who can't do, teach.
	The marketing communications degree to me is always an eye roller.
	It's a bullshit.
	It's a total bullshit degree.
	And my daughter, who did not go to university, she went to university for a little bit and studied drama and hated it.
	And now she's working.
	She's working 40 hours a week and she gets it and she knows what she has to do.
	And she has no illusions.
	But she also doesn't say acts properly.
	We have people in this world who can't even master their own language.
	Now, I can't speak for other languages.
	Well, I can.
	I can speak for Dutch and for English.
	And people don't even know how to speak the English language correctly anymore.
	They have no vocabulary.
	It's everywhere.
	It started with, let me ask you a question.
	Remember that, John, when that started?
	It's been a while.
	It's always been around.
	It was pretty bad.
	It really started six, seven years ago.
	No, Axe, I remember when I was in college.
	Really?
	Really?
	It's part of the Ebonics thing.
	But it's just...
	People can't spell...
	No, I can't spell.
	Many aren't well-spoken, which is what you're getting at there.
	Which I have a hard time communicating myself.
	Apparently you can't get to it.
	And then there's the vocabulary issue.
	And we have people at the Mevio office that have a vocabulary that is really probably around 2,500 words.
	Axe, let me ask you a question.
	Yo, let me ask you a question, yo.
	It has to start and end with yo.
	That's how you...
	And let me be clear, yo.
	No, it is quite sad.
	And you're right.
	And they're all going to be...
	Well, they're going to be working one way or the other.
	There's a bunch of these people that did get jobs.
	We work with them all the time.
	They're all kind of a certain age.
	They got a position of importance.
	They have no salary, but they have a position, unfortunately, of importance.
	And you have to deal with them.
	There are companies everywhere.
	They're often the go-to person you have to communicate with.
	They're snotty.
	They're jerks.
	They think they run the place.
	Why do you even bother going to the office anymore if you hate it that much?
	Well, I'm not talking about our office.
	I'm talking about people in speakers' bureaus and other people that we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
	The people at the office are fine.
	They just have a limited vocabulary, but they're not snotty.
	But the point is that every place else you run into these people, and I think if you think about it, the office doesn't really have, except in the bookkeeping department, that many women.
	Of that age.
	They're all more mature females.
	Right.
	But if you started hiring a bunch of these young 20-somethings, you'd have this infusion of these females.
	And Buchanan, being a female, is critical of it.
	So I'm not going to sound like a sexist here.
	But it's mostly women.
	And they're extremely snotty and rude.
	And they think the world owes them a living.
	And they're essentially ruining the country.
	But they work cheap, and these companies, you know, she's working cheap.
	We just give her a big title and some responsibilities, but she's not charging us a lot.
	Right.
	All right, so we have no resolve for this.
	No, it's no resolve.
	It's a pet peeve.
	Right.
	Go!
	Well, I should have played.
	Too late.
	Do you have another Buchanan clip, or did we skip that?
	I'd like to play the other Buchanan clip, which is kind of interesting, but we can play it.
	Now or you can play it after the show.
	It's kind of a commentary on Obama in Mexico and where the whole thing stands.
	This is not the clip I'm putting together that actually discusses the Arizona law, but this kind of brings up a couple of points that are interesting enough to play if you want to play it.
	You know, the first thing you do is acknowledge who the enemy is and then say, you know, no.
	Now, it could be somebody like a Mexican government.
	They're not our enemy per se, but they're taking action that's against our interest.
	And so, as friends, as neighbors, we go down there and say, no more.
	Get it?
	No more.
	No mas.
	You know, you may have a problem down here.
	We'll come down and help you.
	Maybe we can work with you to help you build businesses down here.
	Maybe you should never have signed NAFTA since it took out your farmers.
	But let's not go into that right now.
	But you do have a problem.
	Like we are helping them with the war down there.
	The drug war.
	But you got to say to them, look, you can't just take our people to the cleaners because you have a problem.
	That's not acceptable.
	We need to start fighting for our own.
	And that's where I think the president made a huge mistake when he let the president of Mexico come over here.
	And together they criticized Arizona.
	Excuse me, that's our team.
	You're the captain of our team and Arizona is our team.
	We're against that other guy.
	He's no right to come into our country and criticize anybody in this country.
	Get it?
	This is happening everywhere.
	And it goes to the same kind of thing that you're suggesting.
	Somehow, no longer to talk about a war on terror...
	Well, what are those guys doing, anyhow?
	Who are they that are trying to blow up our planes?
	You know, once you recognize who the enemy is, you can establish a plan to win, to beat, or at least to protect those that you have been assigned to protect according to the Constitution of the United States, the American people and American property.
	I guess she's one of the people who received the memo that it's time to bash the President.
	She's always bashed the president though.
	Well, she's coming to the forefront now.
	Yeah, well, there's a lot of people doing this.
	I like her approach.
	If you're not willing to that and you're going to be befriending all these people, meanwhile they're undermining you in their own policies within their own country, that is a very weak, weak position to take and it weakens this country terrifically.
	This country has great power That comes from the words of the President of the United States.
	There's great power because behind him stands an ability to follow through with what he says.
	When he backs off, we are weak.
	When he speaks strongly, he sends a message that's very, very clear.
	Then they have to think twice.
	What could be the consequences if we violate what he has just told us?
	You know what I mean?
	And so he has without question weakened the United States, given us greater exposure, because they do not believe he will take serious the threats.
	He will consider them individual crimes rather than a war.
	She sounds just like more the other side of the left-right paradigm.
	She's definitely not in the middle.
	I don't like her.
	She jumps all over the Republicans probably as much as she does.
	Not in that clip.
	No, I know.
	I chose that clip.
	Not in that clip.
	I like that clip.
	Quick news from Gitmo Nation Lowlands following up on a story that I mentioned with the Jews as bait to bait out anti-Semitic behavior in the Netherlands, Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
	The...
	Of course, they still don't have a government there, John.
	They had the vote on June 9th, and the Queen has still not received, and the Queen, mind you, the ceremonial headmaster, she's actually in charge.
	The Queen has still not come to a decision.
	She's in charge, and they don't need a government.
	Yeah, but they do.
	They need something for people to believe that they have some democratic process.
	It's apparent that they don't need a government in that country.
	Yeah, everyone's fine with the World Cup.
	They're all happy.
	Anyway, Ernst Hirsch Balin, who was the Minister of Justice, but of course he's not really the Minister of Justice anymore.
	He's just acting as one until the new government comes in, the new fakes.
	This, by the way, is also a guy who I believe there's enough evidence against him that he was also a part of the pedo bear conspiracy.
	He said, you know what?
	I think it's a good idea.
	We should have undercover police agents on the street wearing yarmulkes to root out people who show anti-Semitic behavior.
	I can't stop laughing about this.
	They will have undercover police officers...
	And what do the cops say when they're trying to pull someone over?
	Hey, oy!
	Oy!
	This is great for...
	I can see a TV series like...
	These guys, undercover cops, and then they're just walking along with their yarmulkes, and then someone says something nasty and anti-Semitic, and then they whip out a gun and arrest them.
	And they're doing this.
	The Lok Yoden is what it's called.
	Bait Jews.
	It's an actual meme now in the Netherlands.
	Bait Jews?
	Bait Jews, yes.
	It's crazy.
	This is just out of control.
	I can't believe it's happening.
	What more do we need?
	We've got some problems.
	Talking about Jews...
	I ran into this interesting little clip that I've got.
	Glenn Beck on the weekend had M. Stanton Evans, who has this book, by the way, and I'm alert to book club.
	This is probably a book we should be carrying on the book club list.
	Blacklisted by History is the name of it.
	It's apparently an untold story of Senator Joe McCarthy, which takes kind of a different stance than we're taught to take in the United States based on our education.
	But he had this...
	This guy, Stanton Evans, did a lot of research for this book and found that a lot of stuff was redacted.
	It's old stuff.
	Because apparently during the 50s, and it was semi-well documented, there was a lot of communists in the government, a hundred of them at least, supposedly, that it turns out that most of the documentation when done way after the fact, it turns out that much of this is true.
	But he came up with this very strange...
	This account of Roosevelt at Yalta, which I don't know quite what to make of it, but it's interesting enough.
	Yalta, you said, or Malta?
	Yalta, when he was meeting with Stalin during World War II. And it's got these, apparently a piece of this thing has never been, it was just kind of taken out of the history books, but the original document is still at one of the colleges, and he dug it up, and this is the clip right here, Roosevelt.
	Nobody wants to believe that there were people in our government that were bad.
	You can believe in individuals, but you can't believe this mass kind of cover-up.
	There are hundreds of them.
	You showed me a document.
	Can you bring this again?
	Tell me what this document is.
	This America will horrify you.
	What this is, Glenn, is a record of the so-called Yalta Conference.
	This was long before McCarthy came along.
	This was in 1945, where Churchill and Roosevelt met with Stalin at Yalta, which is a resort on the Black Sea in the Crimea.
	And this is the minutes of what happened at that meeting.
	An official version of this was published, but the paragraph that I'm...
	Maybe I'll give it to you to read.
	Roosevelt is saying to Stalin and Churchill that he is going to meet with the king of Saudi Arabia after this conference, King Saud.
	And Stalin asks him, does he intend to make any concessions to King Saud of Saudi Arabia?
	And I'll let you read what the answer is for the error is.
	The President replied that there was only one concession he thought he might offer, and that was to give him the six million Jews in the United States.
	Yes.
	This is a collection.
	Where is this from?
	That is from the papers of Edward Statenius, who was the Secretary of State at the time of Yalta.
	Those papers are at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
	That paragraph...
	What does he mean by he'd give...
	Well, one might think that he was a closet anti-Semite, but I think it also suggested maybe he was a little bit gaga.
	This is at the end of...
	This is real close to the end of...
	He died two months after Yalta.
	Uh-huh.
	And so he was...
	There are many other indications that he was out of it, Yalta, but that is one of the clearest ones.
	And that is edited.
	That's no longer in the official record.
	Okay.
	You have to go to the archives to find them.
	Wow.
	He was two to the head?
	That was pretty odd.
	Yeah.
	You know what's interesting, John, what I find fascinating is while we were talking about this, now at any point did I, anything I just said in the setup to this clip and the report from the lowlands, did anything I say sound anti-Semitic to you?
	Not really.
	I'm just reporting a story.
	Yeah.
	And the chat room, immediately, there's at least five people, like, Adam is Jew-hater, Adam is anti-Semitic.
	See, this is the problem.
	We talked about this on Thursday's show.
	You can't talk about Judaism, Jews, Muslims, Islam.
	You can't talk about it, because there's always someone who jumps up and immediately calls you either anti-Semitic, calls you an Islam-hater.
	This is the problem.
	This is the problem.
	This is exactly the problem that we're having.
	And it blows me away that people in our community do this.
	It just blows me away.
	Well, we had like a nasty note come in because we ran the long clip by the British author of The World Turned Upside Down who claims that all this left-leaning initiatives, environmentalism,
	global warming, all the rest of it, And Islamism, which is obviously a Jew-hating mechanism, is all anti-Semitic, and she produced her argument, which included Richard Dawkins' book, The God Myth, or whatever he calls it.
	Citing the fact that he specifically targeted...
	Nobody ever targets Allah, by the way, if you ever noticed.
	No, because they're afraid, because they get their fucking head cut off.
	Right.
	And so he targets the Hebrew God, as he likes to put it.
	And she just pointed all this out in a very...
	And I really don't believe she's Jewish and needs to defend herself.
	And, of course, there's also the curiosity that Jews themselves tend to be, you know, liberals in movements that are anti-Semitic in some deep way.
	And she just points us out, so we get read the Riot Act with all this, which essentially is media propaganda.
	You know, a lot of people will say, well, you know, this Turkish thing, they dropped these guys and they, you know, it became a bloodbath on this Turkish boat, and what's Turkey, you know, I'm thinking, what's Turkey even doing there?
	Well, they got to do with it, and we find out that they're cozying up to Iran because Turkey's going to become an Islamic State.
	And they have the oil pipeline deal with Russia.
	Right, and there's a bunch of other geopolitics involved.
	But they bite on the Jew-hating, and I find it's very interesting that at the drop of a hat, and I think...
	A lot of Jews have to admit, you know, there's a lot of people that just hate Jews, and it seems to be okay.
	I mean, I don't think so.
	No, absolutely not.
	And we get notes from people that say, well, you ran that clip from that crazy woman and she's full of crap because the Israelis are trying to take over the world and they run Washington and all this other bogus bullcrap.
	No, we're saying...
	Dancing, you know, the two guys are supposedly, you know...
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Worse, a genuine truther, a genuine truther would know that it's the Jews who are doing this.
	Like, what?
	What?
	I don't want to blame any religion, any group, whatever, but if we can't talk about it, this is the problem.
	You don't have this discussion anywhere else but on shows like this.
	That's true, and things like the Bernie Madoff story.
	Well, now it turns out that Bernie Madoff wasn't even Jewish.
	Really?
	I didn't hear that one.
	That's funny.
	He just exploited the Jews.
	It's hilarious.
	But anyway, you know, these things are part of the mix.
	And it's, you know, it's an interesting situation.
	I mean, I've been to the Middle East a couple of times.
	And I have not...
	I have not...
	I have more sympathy to the Israeli side of the equation than I do, just based on your experience there.
	I don't care, even the most liberal state in the Middle East, like, let's say, the UAE, Dubai, you know, the women are all covered up, and you can't see their face.
	They don't just cover it up with burqas.
	You can't see anything.
	It's just a big, and with black, so they have to cook inside these things because the temperature's on.
	You know they're wearing, like, hot lingerie underneath it.
	Yeah, I'm sure they are.
	No, it's true.
	It's true.
	Yeah, it's an absolute fact.
	Yeah, science is in.
	The science is in.
	So you just see this kind of...
	I mean, if people want to just let all the women...
	Well, of course, we just discussed these female interns that wanted to rule the place.
	We should cover them up with burkas.
	All interns from now on, you have to be covered with a burka until you get some sense knocked into you.
	You have to wear a burka and be my receptionist, and you've got to pick me up and get me lunch.
	And then, maybe, then, maybe we'll give you some real responsibility in the company.
	Now, on another front of screwiness, where does the NSA... You know, why are we seeing it?
	And this is a CIA attack on the NSA. Play this PBS teaser for this upcoming Tuesday's NOVA show.
	Inside the world's most technologically advanced spy agency, they tracked al-Qaeda to this command post in Yemen.
	They were monitoring the al-Qaeda leader long before 9-11.
	Yet overlooked terrorists in the U.S. hiding in plain sight.
	You could have almost seen the motel in which the hijackers were living.
	How did the NSA miss 9-11?
	None of this information is in the 9-11 Commission Report.
	The Spy Factory on Nova.
	That's awesome!
	So now it's the NSA's fault, huh?
	Yeah.
	That's great.
	And this is PBS, our national treasure.
	Yeah, yeah, so PBS is going after the NSA. And again, of course, the stooge in this is that guy.
	You've seen this guy before.
	I can't remember his name, but he shows up constantly.
	He's that funny-looking-faced guy who's ex-CIA, who's always bitching and moaning about how poorly this was handled.
	He's on everything.
	And, you know, he's just this, I don't know.
	Oh, what's his name?
	I don't know who you're referring to.
	I can't think of his name.
	If you watch the special, you'll see him, I'm sure, over and over again.
	But by the way, so now the science is in that the Al-Qaeda headquarters is in Yemen?
	That's what the clip said?
	That's what the clip says.
	Yeah, I know.
	This is an attempt to target Yemen again.
	Yeah.
	So there's a lot of mysterious stuff going on.
	And why is the NSA being targeted?
	And I believe it's being targeted by the CIA. Well, that would make sense.
	But why?
	Hmm.
	What kind of little battles are going on that we're unaware of?
	Well, there's certainly something going on.
	I don't know.
	I really don't know.
	I don't have an answer to that one.
	And usually I'm quite snappy.
	Yeah, no, I mean, I just watched it and was like, what?
	Well, we'll have to watch the show.
	Yeah, we will.
	On PBS, soon to be funded by the government.
	I think it's a Nova show.
	It's not like Frontline, which is a reporting show.
	It's like a science show.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Science!
	Hey, I got to just have something funny on the show here.
	Joe Biden was in, I think, Minneapolis.
	Fight me.
	Yeah, listen to this.
	It's a good report.
	Vice President Joe Biden is reminded that he's at Cop's Frozen Custard Shop, not an ice cream store in Greenfield.
	Moments later, he's in the back, scooping custard for cones and taking a few licks himself.
	So I'll have to read along since the audio is so bad, but they have it subtitled.
	Cops manager says, Joe Biden says, what do we owe you?
	Cops manager says, don't worry, it's on us.
	The manager says, lower our taxes and we'll call it even.
	A few minutes after the cops manager's comment on lower our taxes, there's another exchange.
	Say something nice instead of being a smartass all the time.
	Afterward, the manager told us he enjoyed his banter with the vice president.
	It was very nice.
	He's got a great personality.
	It's like, he's got a great personality.
	Out of the frame, you can't see the gun sticking in the guy's neck as he's being told to say that.
	He admits the vice president didn't seem happy at first about the lower our taxes comment.
	I don't think he liked it, but then later on he whispered and he goes, I'm just kidding.
	I'm just kidding.
	So the guy says, hey, lower our taxes and you don't have to pay for the ice cream.
	The guy says, why don't you shut up?
	Don't be a smartass, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	Don't talk to the vice president like that.
	I'm Joe, man.
	Shut up.
	Shut up, slave.
	Well, I've got a clip here that at least might finish the show, which is...
	We're starting to see it.
	This is going to really escalate in the next three months or four months, which is the association of marijuana with violence.
	Just a very slight negative take on marijuana.
	Of course, this report does beg the question as to why the Volstead Act, which became a constitutional amendment, was necessary for the Illegalization of making alcohol illegal.
	Why we don't need that for marijuana.
	But play the Shepard Smith dope report.
	Oh, my favorite.
	Shep Smith, everybody.
	You know, John, when I was high on marijuana for 10 years, every single time I smoked that joint, I wanted to go out and beat someone up.
	I wanted to go kick some ass after my nap.
	...of the effort to legalize marijuana in California say it could lead to more crime.
	And they may point to yesterday as some evidence.
	Police in Los Angeles say that two workers at two separate medical marijuana dispensaries were killed.
	We're told the motives in both murders appear to be robbery.
	No word yet on whether they were connected.
	So, as folks across the state gear up for no member's vote, incidents like that are just highlighting another aspect of the debate.
	Dan Springer's in Seattle with this.
	Hello, Dan.
	Well, hey Shep, and partly because of the violence you just mentioned, this is important to people even outside of California.
	Consider that in 1996, Californians were the first to okay medical marijuana.
	And since then, 13 states have passed similar laws and two are voting on it in the fall.
	But even if the state of California goes that green, the big question remains, what will the federal government do?
	The Obama administration has in fact preempted federal law here regarding medical marijuana and allowing the states the autonomy to do pretty much as they please.
	The president has directed his administration to leave medical marijuana alone, so long as those involved are following state law.
	And Attorney General Eric Holder ended federal raids on dispensaries last year.
	As a candidate, Senator Obama stated a doctor recommending medicinal marijuana is no more inappropriate than prescribing morphine.
	What I'm not going to be doing is using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue.
	But legalizing it could force the White House to reconsider that approach.
	The current drug czar, former Seattle Police Chief Gil Kurlikowski, has refused to say how the federal government would respond if the initiative passes, but has said he believes it will create more problems than it solves.
	We will have more criminal justice costs, more social costs, and that whatever taxes may be collected, and that's a very vague number, wouldn't begin to pay for those costs.
	Pro-pot advocates believe the administration will continue to look the other way, but others aren't so sure the state laws and federal laws will still be at odds, and people believe because it's so easy to transport anything out of California, including pot, that Congress and the President must ultimately act.
	Yes, yes.
	Okay, so this idiot who's a drug czar obviously doesn't want to lose his job.
	Nobody who has done any research on this topic has shown that it's going to increase crime or cost.
	In fact, it will reduce cost.
	Half the people in jail in California are on drug-related charges.
	Yeah, for smoking a joint.
	They come in the SWAT team and kill your dog and put you in jail.
	It's ridiculous.
	Can I call it?
	Not to mention the cost of the SWAT, like you mentioned, because we talked about the SWAT teams before.
	But this whole thing is, this is just a big, I mean, there was no reporting on this.
	There was no listing of any research.
	It was a smear job.
	It was a shameless, which is why I don't like Shepard Smith or anything he does.
	That show is just crap.
	Is that the only reason?
	Besides the fact he's an annoying jabroni?
	Well, I don't like him or the show.
	But the fact that they would do this report, which was obviously just a smear job, it was just ridiculous.
	When does this come up for vote, John?
	In November.
	Okay, can I call it right now?
	Sure.
	Pot will not be legalized in California.
	It's not going to happen.
	In fact, we will see a new form of bracelet that alerts the authorities when you take a toke.
	That's where this is going.
	Take a toke?
	Yeah, you're going to have a bracelet.
	The Lindsay Lohan toke-a-thon bracelet.
	Oh yeah, this is never going to be legalized.
	It will not happen.
	50 bucks.
	You're on for 50 bucks.
	And remember, we still have a $100 bet that we'll be at war with Iran before the end of the year.
	Right.
	Right?
	Okay.
	So I just want to make sure we're on.
	Now, something else nice happened.
	And I'm reporting from the White House blog.
	The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.
	This is coming.
	This is really great.
	And everyone, the science is in, everyone agrees, as a part of the President's, El Presidente's cyberspace policy review, that we need to have a centralized registration system, I'm paraphrasing now, which will be run by the government.
	there's a draft proposal out there now, which is put out by the Department of Homeland Security.
	So essentially, you will need a license to be on the internets, and it will be a central authority housed with the United States government where you have to register before you can basically do anything online.
	It'll start off with shopping, and then before you know it, you want to post something on a forum, and you won't be able to do it anonymously.
	You'll have to use your government-approved ID. And you can go to the National Strategies for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace website and weigh in on this.
	This is a public commentary period right now.
	at nstic.ideascale.com for three weeks!
	Three whole weeks, mind you!
	Which, of course, is right during vacation and World Cup and all this other stuff.
	The Department of Homeland Security will be collecting comments from any interested members of the general public on the strategy.
	So before it becomes law, please go to the website, link in the show notes at noagendashow.com, and put your useless commentary there, because it's not going to make any difference.
	It's coming in.
	So I've got the...
	You have no comment on that, huh?
	No, I saw this story when it came through, and I'm not buying that it's going to get very far.
	I like the idea that it's kind of a threat, but not quite.
	You don't think that they can force this?
	It's easy to turn it into a law.
	Yeah, but they've got enough problems.
	They've got enough on the plate besides worrying about this sort of thing.
	But this is an essential part of the strategy, I think.
	I think it's really important.
	Yeah, but they're going to have an economic collapse on their hands to deal with.
	They're already having enough trouble.
	So what do we do to prepare for this economic collapse?
	Nothing.
	Put your head between your knees?
	But there's one thing you can feel good about yourself.
	I would recommend you go to your browser right now and type in fatherhood.gov.
	Ooh, yes, I've seen this, actually.
	This was a part of Father's Day.
	Fatherhood.gov.
	Okay.
	And then you want to go down to Quick Tips?
	It's the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse.
	Oh, this is where you can pick up good dads.
	The Clearing House for Dads.
	Okay, I'm down here.
	Media Highlights?
	Is that where I'm supposed to be?
	No, Quick Tips.
	Oh, Quick Tips, yes.
	Quick Tips, yes.
	And then you can click on any of those tabs.
	It takes you to the same page.
	Oh, really?
	But I like Fun.
	Fun.
	Games and Activities.
	Okay, let's see.
	And you click.
	It takes forever for some reason to get to this.
	I'm here.
	On this page, Activities, Websites, Online Games.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and stuff like, you can do things with your dad.
	Well, this is the wrong page I got on.
	But there's a bunch of things.
	There's a green, the green tab is the one which is actually the funniest.
	Okay.
	And with recommendations.
	I have a green dad?
	I can be, tips for parents.
	Yeah, tips for parents.
	That's what you're looking for.
	Okay.
	Taking time to spend with your children always pays off.
	Get involved in even the smallest ways.
	And by the way, the picture on the previous page shows the whole family with 3D glasses on.
	I have no idea what this implies.
	Which has now, again, been proven to be detrimental to children's health.
	Right, so yeah, harm your children, wear 3D glasses.
	Green Dad Tips.
	Turn off the water while you brush your teeth in the morning and before bedtime.
	You can save up to 8 gallons of water a day.
	You will be bad.
	What has that got to do with anything?
	Many electronic devices and appliances use power even when they're switched off or not in use.
	You can save money and energy by unplugging items when they aren't being used.
	You know, this is fun, John.
	I can't wait until my daughter comes to visit and we can review all these fun tips.
	And we can go through the house...
	And we can do all the things the government is suggesting.
	For Father's Day, let your family know you would like to share a family activity rather than receive gifts.
	Oh, please, give me a gift.
	Instead of collecting another tie, wow, this is bad, take photos of yourself and your children enjoying your time together so you can be registered as a sex offender.
	Eliminating wrapping paper and taking digital photos generate less waste on Dad's special day.
	Oh, brother.
	It's just terrible.
	The whole thing is like this.
	We go down further.
	Buy compact fluorescent light bulbs.
	Yes!
	Which last about five years and use less energy.
	What has this got to do with fatherhood?
	Don't you want to be a good dad?
	John, don't you want to be a good dad?
	You have to bring your own bag to the grocery store.
	Hey kids, come on, let's go grocery shopping.
	So I go to this store at Monterey Foods and some of these other places around Berkeley where everyone brings their own bags.
	And these bags are contaminated.
	They're grimy.
	These women, they pull these bags out.
	And then they have to, mostly women, there's a bunch of guys too.
	What am I thinking?
	There's a bunch of hippies and unreconstructed hippies and crazy looking people.
	Hippies!
	And they bring a bunch of these huge bags.
	They're not huge.
	They're little dinky bags and they stuff all this stuff inside these little bags that are all grimy looking.
	And they have to stuff it.
	So in other words, it hangs up everything.
	So time is money except with these people.
	So they stuff these grimed out bags with food and they don't put any of the food in plastic bags, by the way.
	They just buy a bunch of apples individually and they shove the apples in there because the plastic bag is a bad thing.
	And then they go, and then because for whatever reason, they have to pay either with a credit card or something, because for God knows, $6.95 needs to be paid with a credit card, and if they do bring out money, then it's usually an old lady, and she has to go through her purse and find the extra penny, because it came out to $6.87, and she's got $6.86, and so she's digging and digging, and this could take a half an hour.
	Right.
	And she finds the penny and puts it down and then she's done.
	I mean, it's enough to make you crazy.
	So that's kind of nutso that people who won't take plastic bags are happy to use plastic money.
	It's kind of weird that way.
	Yeah, ironic you mean.
	Yes.
	So let me run a couple things by before we get out of here, John.
	Just a few things I think are noteworthy.
	The Environmental Protection Agency is now officially classifying milk as oil as it contains a percentage of animal fat.
	Which, of course, is a non-petroleum oil.
	Farmers are now in even more trouble than they already were because they have to develop and implement spill prevention plans for milk storage tanks.
	What?
	Yeah.
	The Federal Clean Water Act requirements...
	Of course, we're meant to protect the environment from petroleum-based oils.
	However, the EPA is now classifying a milk spill equal to that of an oil spill based on the spill prevention control and countermeasure regulations.
	This is that creepy woman that runs the EPA. It's doing...
	Yeah, what's her name again?
	This is terrible.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so farmers are freaking out.
	Leave their farmers alone.
	No, they're supposed to be shut down because...
	Oh boy, I love this one.
	The next time we go out to lunch, John, if we take some of our value-for-value money that people give to support the show, which of course actually supports us, it is quite possible that we will be eating genetically modified salmon.
	I don't even like farm salmon.
	The FDA is now seriously considering whether to approve the first genetically engineered animal that people would eat, that would be salmon, that can grow at twice the normal rate.
	The developer of salmon has been trying to get approval for a decade.
	The company now seems to have submitted most or all of the data the FDA needs to analyze whether these salmon are safe to eat, nutritionally equivalent to other salmon, and safe for the environment, according to the government and biotechnology industry officials.
	What happens when they get out into the wild and start breeding with the other salmon?
	Look, then you should get involved in the debate, John.
	The public meeting to discuss the salmon may be held as early as this fall.
	But this, of course, I thought you were going to do a whole thing on genetically modified insects and stuff today.
	What happened to that?
	Well, I guess we ran out of time.
	Yeah, along with the rings.
	The rings and the education special.
	And the book.
	And the book.
	And the Los Angeles Times jumps on the assault, which is the way I'm categorizing it now.
	This is the part of the Codex Alimentarius, the food regulations and law set up by the World Health Organization, now law in the United States of Europe, and soon to become law here in the United States of America.
	Give it up, Americans, says the LA Times.
	Just go ahead and cut back on salt, you slaves.
	You will of course.
	The opening paragraph is my favorite.
	Salt, cigarettes.
	Salt, cigarettes.
	Don't see a connection?
	You will.
	In fact, you might as well start reducing your salt consumption now.
	Not only would it improve your health, you're just going to be nagged incessantly until you do.
	On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention joined the You're Consuming Too Much Sodium Chorus, releasing an analysis of salt consumption data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which of course is from the Academy of Sciences, which is paid for by the government.
	The high point, overall 9.6% of all adults met their applicable recommendation limit.
	Everyone else got too much.
	And actually they wind up this article with kind of a funny line.
	Don't want to be hasty?
	Rather wait for more alarming data?
	Hope all those doctors and public health officials will change their mind?
	Fine.
	But when you ask for the salt shaker at a restaurant and you're sent outside to the patio or maybe the street corner to season your food, don't say we didn't warn you.
	At least they have a sense of humor about it.
	Yeah, but it's unbelievable.
	Now it's just being said.
	Same as cigarettes.
	Salt, cigarettes, salt, cigarettes, salt, cigarettes.
	Same thing.
	It's exactly the same, John.
	Don't you think?
	Science is in.
	Yeah, it's identical.
	In fact, I'm surprised you don't mix the two.
	I might be...
	I'm going to put some salt in my tobacco and smoke it.
	And under the...
	Under the cover of the World Cup, which I guess finishes up in the next week or two.
	So while everybody's, even our chat room, people who listen to this show are like watching the game, all thinking it matters.
	The European Parliament is on the brink.
	Of concluding the bank transfer information sharing between the US and the United States of Europe.
	This is going to happen.
	It will pass the European Parliament most likely on July 7th.
	This is part of SWIFT. The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, where the United States essentially will be able to look at all transactions made with Gitmo Nation East and the United States of Europe.
	And essentially, your unelected officials have sold you out.
	And of course, this is all under the guise of detecting terrorism.
	Well, we'll see when we watch that special on Tuesday.
	Which special is that?
	On Nova, about the NSA. Yeah, but this has nothing to do with the NSA. This is just the...
	I think it does.
	All right, then, do you have, like, a couple of clips left which seem inviting?
	Is there nothing you want to...
	Well, there's a couple.
	I mean, we could...
	One's a retro clip, but we might as well do the real news thing.
	We haven't done anything, so we might as well play the lineup.
	Well, hold on a second.
	And now, back to real news...
	Yes, I see the lineup.
	He's got all the news put into one little clip on the extras.
	Just their teasers.
	They always consolidate everything.
	Most of the stories are in the teasers.
	And we discover that except for Jerry Seinfeld and Lady Gaga, there's no real news this week that's disturbing.
	I still have a chance for reconciliation.
	The jealousy, the betrayal, and inside the bedroom.
	A relationship is more than sex and intimacy.
	Today's big rumors, how many girls is one of Bachelorette Alley's boyfriends cheating with?
	And Tiger Woods alleged Mistress Number One's bikini and golf vacation.
	Seinfeld vs.
	Gaga, round two.
	He's not the only one a little Gaga obsessed right now.
	Ellen, raw in Chicago, her new special.
	Will, like, blow your mind in a good way.
	Plus, Salma Hayek's gravity-defying dress and the snake dance scene around the world.
	She's like, ay caramba!
	Yes, we're up to date, John.
	Nothing going on.
	A weak, weak, weak, weak.
	Lady Gaga was on Larry King again.
	He must have a thing for her.
	Hey, Gaga, I want to do you.
	Hey, Gaga.
	Gaga, I love just saying Gaga.
	Gaga.
	And finally, we didn't mention anything about McChrystal, and this is one of many summaries of the mainstream media's reaction and use of the word brilliant.
	Wait a minute, I thought it was amazing last week.
	It was amazing!
	Now it's brilliant?
	They all got in line, and it was a brilliant move, because of course anything Obama does is brilliant.
	And this is just a few of the clips.
	Brilliant, I tell you.
	Sounds like a pretty brilliant decision, really.
	This is nothing less than a stunning development, Brian, and quite frankly, at a quick glance, almost brilliant.
	Politically, in this town, it's going to be seen as a brilliant choice by the president.
	Politically, a very brilliant move to tap General Petraeus.
	I think he took swift and decisive action.
	I think that's how it's going to be read.
	This was really brilliant.
	They all got the same memo again, huh?
	Yeah, talking points.
	Just brilliant.
	Use the word brilliant over and over.
	No one will notice.
	I got a clip for the end of the show, which is perhaps best seen rather than heard.
	It's from The Daily Show, who I agree with you are back on a tear.
	Now that Jon Stewart, of course, he's basically given up on Obama.
	The guy's smart.
	Jon Stewart, I know the guy.
	I work with him.
	Smart guy.
	He got screwed.
	In a number of ways, and of course his ratings were dropping because he had no enemy, and so now he's just deciding, you know what, I might as well get on the anti-Obama wagon here, although this is not about Obama.
	This is about the World Cup 2010.
	I don't know if you saw this, but he sent, what's the British guy's name?
	Yeah, the British guy.
	John Oliver.
	John Oliver.
	He was down in South Africa.
	Supposedly.
	No, no, he was really in South Africa.
	Well, he was there for the early part, but Stuart mentioned that he's not going to stay there.
	They brought him back, and so all this is all green screen that you're looking at.
	No, maybe we're talking about something different, because he's there interviewing vendors.
	Outside.
	Oh, okay.
	I think that was when he first made the trip.
	No, no.
	We'll do it right after the closing credits coming up in a second.
	He went down to the World Cup, and of course, there's a zone around...
	Yeah, I did see this.
	This is quite funny.
	Yeah.
	I think it might be better seen, and you've got to listen carefully.
	So essentially, he goes outside of the zone where there's Coca-Cola.
	It's like a mile away.
	Yeah.
	But John Oliver is funny.
	He's like, yeah, isn't it great?
	He's talking to these guys who want to expose people to traditional African food.
	He's like, well, yeah, but does it come with a toy?
	And the Africans in South Africa...
	They know what's going on.
	They're funny.
	They're laughing like, oh, dude, you're so right on because they're smart.
	They're really smart.
	They know what the fuck is going on.
	And the Vuvuzela, and he's sitting on a soccer pitch with kids way outside in the boondocks, and he's pulling out all this licensed stuff, and they're laughing and talking about just how ridiculous it is.
	Well, apparently when he was in the Coca-Cola area within the mile...
	He got kicked out by security.
	Yeah, he got kicked out for harassing the Coca-Cola folks.
	Yeah.
	Hey, man, you're not with the program, okay?
	This is not how it's supposed to work.
	You know, we're licensed.
	We're licensed to sit here, and we're good.
	We're Coca-Cola.
	We rule the world.
	We are the children.
	Wrong one.
	I always do that.
	Well, my friend...
	I think that covers everything except electric cars in China, which we can put off till Thursday.
	Okay.
	And on Thursday, right after the donation segment, I will once again have some proof for you regarding the reality of chemtrails.
	You keep revisiting.
	Let's get back to aliens or flying saucers.
	It's so much more interesting.
	We shall see.
	All I need is one governmental document, because that's what I did with earthquake machines, and you'll be on board with me, right?
	That's all I need.
	I just need to come up with empirical proof, right?
	It depends on the document.
	Okay.
	Working on it.
	Yeah, keep working.
	Alright.
	Coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, located in Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California, where we're holding on to our guns.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, the home of the denialists, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk again on Thursday for early morning service.
	And remember, value for value.
	Support this show.
	Go to Dvorak.org slash NA. We need your help.
	There's no other way we can get it.
	Until then.
	We'll meet you on no agenda.
	The entire world, except obviously for France and Italy, is ablaze with World Cup fever.
	But what does this World Cup mean to Africa?
	John Oliver finds out in his first dispatch from South Africa.
	Africa, a land known for its stunning vistas, magnificent wildlife, and all the sounds of nature.
	Police sounds And now, this.
	The first African World Cup.
	The first World Cup held on African soil.
	To learn more about this landmark event, I headed to beautiful Johannesburg to meet the spokesman for the World Cup committee.
	This is the first African World Cup.
	This is going to put Africa on the map.
	On the map.
	And they've made this World Cup as African as can be, starting with the official song by a local artist named Shakira.
	Shakira.
	What tribe is she from?
	Well, she's not actually African, she's Colombian.
	African, Colombian, doesn't matter.
	The point is, she's not white.
	Yes.
	She's even honoured Africa by performing in Oil Face in her videos.
	But that was just the beginning.
	Outside the stadium, it was an explosion of African culture.
	Brought to you by...
	From the beverages, to the food, to the traditional African hand-carved FIFA ballpoint pens.
	They even provided the local street vendors who'd been working the stadiums for decades with their own special zone, conveniently located nowhere near bothersome customers.
	FIFA has imposed one kilometer radius from the stadium.
	Street vendors will not be allowed to trade.
	People that have been preferred in this World Cup will be the McDonald's, the Coca-Cola's and all these European companies.
	Then you will tell me, what is African about that?
	Well, let me put it to you this way.
	What's more African than the subjugation of black people?
	Right?
	We don't eat hamburgers as South Africans or as African people.
	We want to entertain the visitors with the local food.
	Does any of that food come with a free toy, like a little plastic leopard kicking a football?
	It sounds funny, that question to me.
	Do you know how much South African government, our own government, has contributed to this World Cup?
	About five billion dollars.
	We need medication, we need hospitals, we need education.
	What is primary here is for us to find a way of earning a living.
	Clearly he was ignoring all the local jobs being created, like World Cup security agents, to protect Africans from being exploited by having their views heard.
	As they impounded our cameras, I realized the organizers had struck the perfect balance.
	You don't want to make it too African.
	You want to give people just enough Africa to intrigue them, not so much that it terrifies them.
	Of course.
	What you do is you pick what you want and you leave out what you don't want.
	And the one thing they did want...
	This is going to be the noisiest World Cup.
	Right.
	Because of our cultural instrument called Vuvuzelas.
	Right.
	If you're not used to it, get used to it.
	This is the instrument that they would like when they come here.
	Why wouldn't they like it?
	It's ridiculous.
	It's not noisy.
	There's nothing irritating about it.
	Even as I reveled in the World Cup spirit...
	It saddened me to think of all the Africans in places like the infamous township of Soweto who wouldn't get to experience it.
	But then, as I played with a local Soweto team, laughing and enjoying the game that had brought us together, I knew I had found the true spirit of the African World Cup.
	And I realised how I could give it to them.
	Let's show them what Africa is all about!
	Yeah!
	Official FIFA licensed snow globe bought from a licensed retailer.
	up.
	That's, yeah.
	Okay, okay, okay.
	I've got something for you.
	Soy blend scented candles.
	Come on, that's, it's relaxing.
	This is gonna get you.
	This is the one I've been holding back.
	Boom.
	Come on.
	Are you kidding me?
	Are you kidding me?
	This is license!
	It's from the Build-A-Bear Workshop!
	Let me explain to you the importance of the licensing system.
	Ah, they'd get it someday.
	Later that night, as we watched the opening game in a Soweto Shabeen, and as we saw South Africa score the first goal of the World Cup, bringing joy to an entire country, I had to admit...
	This African World Cup might not be perfect, but it's absolutely amazing.
