	Congress, you can go home.
	It does not matter what you do anymore.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, January 20th, 2011.
	Time for Gidmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 271.
	This is No Agenda.
	Reading the executive orders so you don't have to here at the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, and get my nation west in the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the weather is just plain weird, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	In the morning to you, John.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry, and all ships at sea, boots on the ground, and feet in the air.
	No, it's wings in the skies, foots in the oceans, checks in the mail, bakers in the kitchen, astronauts manning the moon and Mars base stations, hams on the air, and human resources everywhere, especially in our chat room at noagendastream.com, which is now consolidated into the stream and chat interface.
	I hope you're all charged up and ready the way your government loves you, because we need you full of energy to work.
	To work!
	Slaves!
	Hey John.
	Thank you by the way John.
	I want to thank you.
	You're welcome.
	For the iPad offer you sent me.
	Highly appreciated.
	I really like that.
	Did you sign up?
	Yeah.
	You know, it's funny because in the PC Magazine article that you wrote about that, John, somehow someone got into his LinkedIn account and you should read it.
	I'll put the link in the show notes.
	Is it PCMag or PC Computing?
	What is it?
	PC Magazine.
	There's no such magazine as PC Computer.
	No, whatever.
	So PC Magazine article.
	You talk about the iPad offer.
	In the article itself, that is an actual link?
	And I'm like, oh, interesting.
	Maybe he wrote about that iPad offer scam.
	So I click on the link.
	Oh, no, that's one of those fake phony baloney links that they do.
	I don't know why they don't drop that.
	But it's not...
	I actually did that...
	Well, normally it's one of those double underlined links where it has two...
	But this is a regular link, so you can't tell that it's a scam.
	You know, I haven't looked at the column the way I was...
	Those are all automated.
	I actually had that implemented on my blog for about three or four months.
	You know, because people, oh, you know, you should do this.
	You get all kinds of money.
	You don't get anything.
	You get no money.
	Yeah.
	You get no money and it irritates people.
	Yeah.
	Hey, would you call me back?
	We've got a shitty connection with a huge delay.
	Yeah, I know.
	It sounds like a bad connection.
	Yeah.
	Could you call me?
	Okay.
	All right.
	Bye.
	Whatever that's all about.
	Hmm.
	Interesting.
	I can see we have a huge lag for some reason.
	Something's going on.
	Yeah, you there?
	Yeah?
	Hold on a second.
	I have a feeling Mickey's uploading something.
	Let me just double check.
	It could be.
	Yeah, no, I'm looking at ping times and that makes no sense.
	Hold on a sec.
	I'll put on the fat bitch for a second.
	The End
	Okay, you there?
	Okay.
	I figured it out.
	What happened?
	Oh, honest mistake.
	Mickey received...
	It's actually kind of cool.
	As a member of SAG, you know, to vote on the SAG Awards, they give you an iTunes code so you can...
	So she was downloading her movies.
	Yeah, she was...
	48 of them.
	Yeah, that would have been...
	All right, so call me back one more time so we establish a good connection and it'll be fine then, okay?
	Yeah.
	Sorry, everybody.
	Stuff just happens from time to time.
	It's...
	There we go.
	All right.
	How are we doing now?
	Oh, hello.
	Right.
	Okay.
	That makes a difference.
	So, anyway, her downloading, of course, proves my point.
	What?
	It proves what point?
	She hates the show.
	No, she's listening to the show.
	She actually has the Pocket No Agenda app.
	She's listening to the show, but it comes like 30 to 45 seconds later, and actually I walked over to her.
	She says, no, no, I'm not downloading it.
	I said, are you sure?
	I said, oh, wait a minute.
	Look at iTunes.
	It's like downloading 48 items, all HD movies.
	It's amazing I could hear you at all.
	Yeah, actually, that is amazing.
	That's a testament to the connection we have now.
	Okay, anyway, on with the show.
	Here we go, everybody.
	You want to start it over?
	No, no.
	No, why?
	It's interesting.
	You're going to leave all this garbage in there?
	Yes!
	There's a little button called, what is it?
	Fast forward!
	People love that, John.
	You don't understand.
	Why do you think reality shows are so big?
	It's because it's all real.
	B-roll's the new A-roll.
	Exactly.
	So wait a minute.
	So you're telling me that these guys are now distributing the movies for the...
	Yeah, for the members to vote on.
	What are they called?
	SAG members.
	No, not that.
	What are those movies called when they give them to you to look at?
	Screeners.
	Right.
	Instead of screeners, they give you an iTunes code, and then you can download every single movie with the iTunes code.
	It's pretty cool, actually.
	It's very cool, but doesn't it invite these movies getting wide distribution, if you know what I mean?
	Hello, DRM, iTunes.
	In fact, it's less chance of getting wide distribution.
	It's DRM. You can't just take that file and send it to someone else and have them watch it.
	So she can only watch it on her computer?
	Yes, correct.
	Watching a movie on a computer is a bad experience.
	You mean these movies are being judged by all these people based on what they see on a little computer screen?
	Correct.
	That's a scandal.
	Of course they could always send an Apple TV to all of the judges, all the members of the Academy, and then they could see it on television.
	That would be better.
	But yeah, of course it's a scandal.
	Excuse me, like award shows.
	No, they're not a scandal at all.
	I watched the Golden Globes, so you didn't have to, John?
	I watched the Golden Globes.
	Okay, so we can go right into it.
	What a scam.
	What a scam.
	It's unbelievable.
	Well, what do you think was a scam?
	Everything.
	Well, that's not telling me anything.
	Well, okay, I'll tell you.
	So, first of all, you have to understand the lawsuit.
	I think we talked about it on the last show between the PR firm and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
	Right, it's a big, yeah, it's a scam.
	Right, so I looked up the legal documents.
	And the legal documents say, hey, you know, we got fired and the only reason, not the only reason, but one of the main reasons we got fired as a PR agency is because we told these guys, you've got to clean up your act because the members of the academy, the Foreign Press Association, are taking bribes for nominations.
	And that's going to get out and it's going to be really bad press.
	And it says that in the legal documents.
	And this actually happened in 1982, and I remember this.
	Even I'm old enough to remember this one.
	Remember Pia Zadora?
	Oh, yeah.
	So Pia Zadora had a movie which was like something, The Return of the Aliens or something.
	She had a song track hit with it with Jermaine Jackson.
	And her husband, who was insanely rich from something other than Hollywood, had produced the movie.
	I had, of course, produced this really expensive music video.
	I remember that.
	They went on a huge worldwide promo tour.
	There were big billboards all over the country.
	Oh, yeah.
	And she won Most Promising Actress.
	Which I don't even think that's a category anymore.
	He bought a category for her.
	And so they actually lost their television contract in 1982 because of this scandal.
	And so this guy, this Russell, his PR firm...
	I told them, saying, yeah, you guys really got to shape up your act.
	And if you saw, Ricky Gervais was actually making more inside jokes than most people probably realized.
	Because, example one, we had best song Diane Warren for Burlesque, a complete flop movie.
	A song, meh.
	You know, eh, okay.
	But you have to understand that there was a junket for all of the Hollywood foreign press.
	They flew to Vegas to see a share show a couple days before voting, you know, put up in nice hotels and everything, as if you can get a bad hotel, really.
	And so it's complete bribery.
	And the Hollywood foreign press, you know, all these actors are making jokes about, well, we have to take pictures with them.
	Because basically they're part-time journalists who report on real news, on show business.
	And they are judging these movies.
	So they get a ballot.
	And they actually have to write their nominations, like five nominations in each category, and when they send that in, they also say, and this is the one I think should win.
	But the whole thing is a complete scam and everybody knows it.
	You're with me.
	Yeah.
	So the thing that bugged me the most, of course, was Facebook winning...
	Everything.
	Not everything, but...
	They won all the big ones.
	Well, best movie.
	And so what happened...
	Best director.
	Right.
	Best screenplay.
	I mean, come on.
	Those are the big three.
	And compared to...
	I know you haven't seen it yet, but compared to the King's Speech, a joke.
	A complete joke.
	Particularly for anyone who's really into acting in movies and set design, art direction...
	But then it dawned on me the minute I saw it.
	I'm like, oh, of course.
	Because up on stage was the producer.
	Who did not get up?
	So the movie wins movie of the year!
	Who stays in their seat and doesn't get up?
	The two main actors and the director!
	They didn't get up on stage.
	You know why?
	Because they know.
	They're ashamed.
	They're ashamed of what's going on here.
	Because the only reason this thing won is so that Goldman Sachs can up the valuation of the IPO that's coming.
	This thing is a massive setup and it's done so well that I wish I could get in on the IPO. Yeah, well, you can't.
	No, of course I can't.
	Shut up, slave!
	And so, who placed the $50 billion valuation on Facebook?
	That was done by one investment.
	From who?
	From the Russians!
	Hello, Hollywood Russian mob, hello!
	It's so clear!
	You're finally adding up two and two.
	Oh my goodness!
	It's like, wow!
	This is so obvious.
	But the actor and Fincher, the director, just sitting there like...
	And then finally, the douchebag producer says, Hey, why aren't you guys up here?
	Because we're afraid.
	We're afraid of being whacked.
	We're hogging the limelight because it's clearly all about the money.
	There's a really good article, actually, that I read about...
	Well, if you're going to go on with the idea that Russians are behind the promotion and behind the whole thing, there's an inside joke, as usual, when any sort of mob operation is involved.
	The fact that the movie that no one has seen, I don't even remember being...
	No, I saw it.
	What, Red?
	Oh, I haven't seen Red, please.
	That's what I was saying.
	That movie was nominated for Best Film of the World, and it's like nobody's seen it.
	Right.
	It's a sketchy film, but the name Red is perfect, so you just kind of...
	Exactly.
	A little joke there.
	A little, hey, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, just so you know.
	That's so funny.
	That is funny.
	Do you have a cell phone near the mic or something?
	I can hear it.
	No, you're hearing a buzz?
	Yeah, a little...
	No, there's nothing around here.
	Interesting.
	Sure it's not your side?
	No, it's probably someone right outside the window here.
	Let me see if there's an agent.
	No.
	Wouldn't be that weird.
	So, yeah, I was just like, wow, it just blew me away.
	And Gervais was making all of these jokes, many of them inside.
	Oh, a lot of them were extremely nasty.
	But they were really, really inside.
	Yeah, he was talking about the head of the Foreign Press Association and what a sleazebag he is.
	That's basically it.
	And then he got on and he didn't have anything funny to say.
	He basically said, yeah, if you want your movie fixed, go see some other guy.
	Like, okay.
	Wow.
	It's just like, oh my God, what a scam.
	What an incredible scam.
	But yeah, there's a lot involved.
	We'll get to that later.
	There's more with Facebook that I've got to talk about.
	Well, let's thank our lone executive producer for this show.
	We didn't do that well, huh?
	We did a mailing and we got one.
	We did a mailing, but the mailing ended up in most people's spam boxes.
	Hey, by the way, anybody out there who doesn't want to get our mailings, which we do every so often to discuss issues and to solicit more contributions?
	Go to your spam box and see if there's...
	Or look for the subject, or from the from line should be no agenda show, which we're never going to mail from again, by the way.
	Because it's just...
	The number of opens is just like, what happened?
	Right.
	So anyway...
	But good old Robert Goschko out of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada, the province up there that actually pays for the bills for all of the country of Canada.
	They should become their own country.
	Really?
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, they got it.
	They got all the money.
	They got the minerals.
	They got the oil.
	They got everything.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	And they're loaded.
	If you go to Edmonton or Calgary and you just go to those towns, those towns are rich.
	Yeah.
	There's a lot of money there.
	Why don't we move there then?
	I would.
	I would.
	And what does Robert say?
	He says, I'm continuing my support listener since episode uno.
	Wow.
	That's awesome.
	That's weird.
	Love the show and I wonder why he's listening for him.
	I love the show and want to continue supporting the value for value for value model.
	Can I get some karma for my daughter's hockey team?
	The Sherwood Park Shock.
	You've got karma.
	We're going to the semifinals.
	In Minor Hockey Week here, world's largest minor hockey tournament.
	Minor meaning children, I assume.
	Yeah.
	And to all the 99 percenters out there, he needs a douchebag call out.
	Douchebag!
	There you go.
	People don't send any money.
	And he is the executive producer and the sole member forever because there'll never be another 271 club.
	And I have to say...
	Or Show 271, by the way.
	Anybody who wants to donate for the show at the show number dollar amount, you will become a special person.
	That's right.
	With extra karma.
	In a good way.
	And I love women's hockey.
	Field hockey.
	You know that, right?
	That's my favorite.
	I think it's ice hockey.
	Is that what he said?
	Was it ice hockey?
	It didn't say.
	It just says hockey.
	And when you say hockey in Canada, it has to be ice hockey.
	Yeah, right.
	So girls play that too, huh?
	They get rough and tumble, eh?
	I hope they wear mouth protection.
	I've noticed I say A a lot.
	Which is kind of bugging me.
	Canada, eh?
	No, it's bugging me.
	I got Kevin the Blade.
	He's from Canada.
	He's here.
	And so for some reason, like a douchebag, when you're talking about Australia, you go, Australia, mate?
	You know, like an idiot.
	And now for some reason I keep doing, eh?
	Eh, eh.
	Yeah, stupid.
	So no associate exec?
	Nothing?
	No.
	Awesome.
	Great.
	This is the second week in a row.
	Second show in a row, yeah.
	Well, I called that week.
	By the time I was done, I had 350 news articles I had to follow up on and record stuff from C-SPAN, record stuff from...
	What else was I recording?
	I had to read through this executive order, which I want to get to.
	Well, instead of whining, we should probably go on.
	First, let me help everyone propagate the formula.
	We've got to thank Robert Goschko, our only 271 Club member and executive producer for No Agenda Show, episode 271.
	Robert, thank you so much.
	We appreciate your support.
	This is an official credit.
	You know the deal.
	Call us anytime.
	We'll be happy to vouch for you.
	Everyone else out there, please help us at least by propagating the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	New!
	World!
	Order!
	They win them!
	Shut up!
	They win!
	Yo.
	So you notice I have a slide whistle.
	Oh, you found it.
	Well...
	Hey, that's great.
	That's awesome.
	Yeah, I know you'd love it.
	Yeah, that's not at all irritating.
	Unfortunately, this is kind of weird.
	For Christmas, you're probably happy.
	My wife bought me a professional slide whistle, the kind they use in orchestras.
	Which they use exactly once per entire session in the orchestra.
	It's like the guy who gets through the ding, the triangle, and everyone goes, oh, that was good timing.
	Yes, that was perfect.
	That would be you.
	Okay.
	By the way, please find me an mp3, a piece of music with an orchestra with a slide whistle.
	I've got a lot of Spike Jonze.
	Yeah, that doesn't count.
	We need a slide whistle.
	The great thing about Spike Jonze is that people should go back, especially younger listeners, should go back and get some of these MP3s and just listen to this guy's stuff.
	He's the only guy who actually used, as a musical instrument, a.38 pistol.
	I didn't know that.
	Oh yeah, he'd shoot his gun off every so often.
	It'd be like just the opportune moment.
	Boom!
	And he'd shoot the gun.
	I didn't know that.
	I always thought that the idea of a real orchestra, one of these days coming out with a famous conductor, using a gun occasionally as a point of emphasis, as a musical instrument, is overlooked.
	I'm sure it'll go over well these days.
	Let me see.
	Spike Jones had a big, he had like a popular hit at one point.
	He had a bunch of them.
	He was extremely popular in the 30s and 40s.
	No, but I mean, even something, I'm thinking the 70s maybe, he had a hit.
	He had a couple of hits.
	They're all novelty songs, obviously.
	I can't remember what it was.
	Loving Bloom was a huge hit.
	I'll look some up and I'll play them on the next Daily Source Code so we can educate the children.
	Yeah, and get some of them with the gunshot in there.
	It's always good.
	I will do.
	Because it becomes thematic because I want to start with a couple of clips today before you get into your deeper stuff about the political correctness that's taking place on CNN and MSNBC regarding English language usage that has anything to do whatsoever with a gun reference, killing, targeting...
	Oh, right.
	This, of course, is all still a part of...
	And now we are two weeks strong?
	Are we now at the two-week mark?
	You get full...
	Because I was actually...
	I'll give you full kudos on this one because I was skeptical at first, although after the first few days I changed my mind, that this would drag on, the shooting in Tucson would drag on as long as it has.
	And it's not only dragging on, but now it's taking on...
	It's expanding.
	It's mutating and it's bearing children.
	Yeah, there's more coming out, which is the main reason, which is so unfortunate, why we sent the email out, because Time, before you get into that, John, just a throwback to that, Time Magazine, and I picked up the paper copy, has a stylized, as you would say, what did you call that in the email, the picture of the shooter?
	Loughner?
	Yeah, Loughner.
	No, but you said it was not Kafkaesque, it was not Kafkaesque.
	I forgot what I called it.
	It was creepy.
	Yeah, creepy, right.
	A creepy version of the bald-headed picture, and then it says, Guns, Speech, Madness.
	And it's like, wow.
	And actually, I read the only thing you have to read to understand, because the whole edition is about it.
	The only thing you have to read is the managing editor's note, Richard Stengel, who looks a lot like the guy from The Sharper Image.
	Remember that guy?
	Yeah.
	The sharper image guy.
	I was reading this while having some dinner.
	Richard something.
	Yeah, it's Richard Pallmeyer or something like that.
	And it's all about speech, First Amendment, and what was the thing?
	I circled it here.
	We don't know whether inflammatory language or images can incite the mentally ill to commit acts of violence.
	It seems unlikely.
	But when we demonize our political adversaries rather than their points of view, we go beyond the bounds of desirable discourse even though doing so was permitted under the First Amendment.
	The Constitution allows violent speech, but it abhors violence.
	Really?
	Does the Constitution say anything about abhorring violence?
	But just because you have the right to say something doesn't mean you should.
	Oh, thank you, Miss Manners.
	Oh, yeah.
	At the same time, I would never put restrictions on what people can say, no matter how violent the rhetoric, as long as it remains rhetoric.
	And then there's something weird.
	That's the standard in Brandenburg versus Ohio, the Supreme Court's defining case on free speech.
	Is that the fire in the theater thing or whatever?
	I don't know.
	But then he actually says here...
	Hateful speech doesn't kill people, guns do.
	I'm like, wow, that's a twist.
	That's a great twist on the guns don't kill people, people kill people.
	So now it's hateful speech doesn't kill people, guns kill people.
	Right, which is a subtle anti-gun message.
	Yeah, of course, of course.
	And I'm against killing people.
	Guns don't kill people.
	People pulling triggers on guns kill people is the fact of it.
	But that's beside the point.
	This has become ridiculous.
	I've got two clips I want to get to.
	One is CNN on crosshairs in the language police.
	This is of John King, who's actually the most probably conservative of all the Talking holes on CNN, but you can see what the problem is.
	And by the way, why people should be supporting our show.
	You can see what the problem is with these networks when you hear stuff like this.
	We were just having a discussion about the Chicago mayoral race just a moment ago.
	My friend Andy Shaw, who now works for a good government group out there, used the term in the crosshairs in talking about the candidates out there.
	We're trying.
	We're trying to get away from that language.
	It won't always be perfect, so hold us accountable when we don't meet your standards.
	Oh, brother.
	So when Donald Trump says you're fired, do we have to be afraid?
	Yeah, you shouldn't say you're fired.
	You can't say you're fired.
	You said fired.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Yeah, keep us accountable.
	The word crosshairs.
	And by the way, a pistol doesn't have crosshairs.
	I've seen pistols with sights on them like that, but a crosshair is usually on a tele...
	I don't know.
	Anyway.
	A lot of people did email us that there's a lot more rhetoric or interesting use of words that even I didn't realize was actually being used, such as assault weapon and automatic weapon.
	Yeah, this is a real interesting situation.
	This one is actually worse.
	Play the MSNBC clip.
	This is, of all people, Rachel Maddow.
	And first of all, she condemns the Republicans for going back to using the word kill jobs because the word kill is in there.
	Right, yeah, okay.
	I'm telling you, this is how crazy these people are.
	We can't say kill.
	Kill the music.
	Oh, man, I can't believe you said kill.
	Yeah, I'm telling you, this is actually what's going on with these people.
	It makes you wonder if they're...
	I mean, they're the ones that should be locked up.
	This is crazy.
	And then she finds a quote from Podesta.
	It's not Podesta.
	It's one of these other guys.
	You'll hear it in there.
	Where the guy says something locked and loaded or some crazy thing.
	Right.
	Which, again, is highly offensive that anyone...
	These are all just references that are common in the language.
	And then she...
	Grimaces on the screen and shakes her head and says, that's who said that, that's who said that, that's who said that.
	Just like...
	Lady, get a grip.
	Remember how Republicans for a couple of days stopped calling health reform job killing?
	In the wake of Tucson, they took killing out of the way they were talking about this.
	They started calling it job destroying instead of job killing.
	Now apparently, though, that's over.
	Today they went back to saying killing all the time.
	We find that incredible, that repealing this job-killing legislation is actually going to cost us money.
	They support repeal of this job-killing legislation.
	Sorry, I thought that was some douchebag.
	I'm sorry.
	This job-killing health care law, in effect, are much too high.
	Additional job-killing taxes.
	It was irresponsible to pass this massive job-killing plan.
	Not to be outdone by all the killing talk, Congressman Mike Pence of Wants to be President Bill decided today that not only wasn't it too soon to bring back all the killing talk in Congress, he decided it was also not too soon for this.
	Today, House Republicans are going to stand with the American people and vote to repeal their government takeover of health care, lock, stock, and barrel.
	Congressman Mike Pence, everybody.
	Congressman Mike Pence.
	Oh my God, Mike Pence, you are such a dick!
	I can't believe you said lock, stock, and barrel!
	Yeah, that's what it was.
	It was lock, stock, and barrel.
	Wow.
	And she had this look on her face.
	Oh, he said lock, stock, and barrel.
	What a horrible person he must be.
	Yeah.
	I'm telling you, this is one of the most disgusting displays of political correctness.
	Language police and everything bad.
	Censorship.
	I mean, this is horrible.
	Rachel Maddow is a disgusting person.
	To see this kind of evil in simple language usage, she's a horrible person.
	There's just no question about it.
	And I have to say the same for John King, who's not a horrible person as much as he's an obvious wimp.
	Oh God, I said crosshairs.
	Keep us accountable, people.
	Let us know if we say something terrible like that again.
	Keeping him honest and holding us accountable.
	Because words do matter Well, of course, what all of this leads to is that when you say something crazy like crosshairs or lock, stock, and barrel, they're going to lock you up.
	That's where this is all leading to.
	This is all part of the pre-crime stuff that we've been talking about for a long time, I might add.
	A long time.
	And, you know, they can do it.
	In fact, I pulled some clips from 2009.
	Let me just play that for you.
	This is President Obama.
	And he actually did this speech.
	Is it Constitution Hall?
	No, that's not something different.
	Where is the Constitution of the United States on the walls, on the hill?
	I don't know where they post it.
	It's a crazy building.
	I've never seen it.
	No, it's not just posted.
	It's not in the Library of Congress?
	It could be, but the whole thing has got a crazy echo.
	This is when he announced a prolonged detention, which is another interesting use of words.
	There may be.
	There may be a number of people who cannot be prosecuted for past crimes.
	In some cases because evidence may be tainted.
	But who nonetheless pose a threat to the security of the United States.
	Right.
	So if you pose a threat to the security of the United States, then we have to do something about that, which is this.
	There may be a number of people who...
	Oops, I'm wrong one.
	Sorry about that.
	Our goal is not to avoid...
	This is partially about Guantanamo, I think.
	In our constitutional system, prolonged detention should not be the decision of any one man.
	Prolonged detention should not be the decision of any one man.
	Yeah, a kangaroo court will do.
	If and when we determine that the United States must hold individuals to keep them from carrying out an act of war, we will do so within a system that involves judicial and congressional oversight.
	Yeah.
	And so going forward, my administration will work with Congress to develop an appropriate legal regime so that our efforts are consistent with our values and our Constitution.
	How can holding someone without due process be consistent with our values and our Constitution?
	I think this is one of the clips we played some years ago.
	Yeah, it's 2009.
	I'm sure we played it.
	You know, we could just start re-running the show.
	And maybe the money will just keep rolling in at huge amounts.
	It's unbelievable.
	Wait a minute.
	Let me think back.
	I remember that speech.
	And now that I think of it, that's a couple years ago.
	My understanding was that when Obama got elected, the first thing he'd do was close Guantanamo.
	Well, that was him setting it up in 2009 that we weren't going to close Guantanamo Bay.
	But wait, he promised.
	Yeah, I can't find it.
	I know what you're saying.
	You can take that to the bank.
	That's what he said.
	The take that to the bank came from the first thing he's going to do is get us out of Iraq.
	Take that to the bank.
	Yeah, there he is.
	Take that to the bank.
	Take that to the bank, people.
	Yeah, well, go ahead and take it to the bank.
	The bank's just going to screw you.
	Yeah, like they do.
	I don't know.
	If you want to do a quick segue, I've got a Disgusting Chase Banks story.
	You can just play it.
	It's standalone.
	It's not going to result much.
	Yeah, sure, sure.
	What you got?
	Disgusting Chase Banks story.
	It's not just a story.
	It's an actual clip called that.
	It's a clip called Disgusting Chase Banks story.
	Gotcha.
	The nation's biggest banks coming under fire tonight for overcharging thousands of military families for their mortgages, including families of troops fighting in Afghanistan.
	JPMorgan Chase admits to the overcharging.
	It says it improperly foreclosed on 14 military families.
	Marine Captain Jonathan Rawls and his wife Julia have been at odds with Chase since 2006.
	This is a joke.
	They're going to foreclose on a million people in 2011.
	A million.
	When the captain went on active duty.
	Now, by law, active duty troops generally get their interest rates lower to 6%, and they're supposed to be protected from foreclosure.
	But their rates went up 10%, so Rolls hired a lawyer.
	You don't have to worry about fighting the fight and keeping alive, not about whether their wives or children are going to be put out on the street.
	While the lawsuit is pending, a Chase spokesperson now tells NBC News that Rawls actually did everything right and that the bank did not.
	Now, hold on a second.
	I want to do something on this show we haven't done before.
	I'm going to do a segment called Ask Adam.
	Okay.
	This is Ask Adam.
	And what I'm going to do is I'm going to have maybe a clip or something, and it's something that baffles me about it.
	I'm going to ask you to explain it to me.
	Okay, I like that.
	We need a little theme song, actually.
	Yeah, someone's going to come up with an Ask Adam theme song.
	I've got a couple of these for today.
	Someone will come up with one, I'm sure.
	So on this one, I'm going to ask you.
	Okay.
	The bank says they did everything.
	People did everything right and the bank was screwed up.
	They're wrong, wrong, wrong.
	Then why is the case still pending?
	I'd like to save myself and ask the audience.
	Can I ask the audience?
	Can I use a helpline for this question?
	I don't know, because they had to put some kind of bogus news in there.
	Because the bank's a bunch of douchebags, that's the answer.
	Douchebags!
	JPMorgan Chase, by the way, is in charge of all of the debit cards for unemployment benefits.
	And they make money on that.
	And they're doing great.
	They're doing awesome.
	Those guys are going to do the Facebook IPO, too.
	You watch.
	It's total douchebags.
	So, alright.
	So, we train ourselves.
	Sorry, John, I don't have an answer for you on your Ask Adam clip.
	We should maybe prep that beforehand.
	Come up with some snappy answer.
	So we train ourselves very, well, it's kind of happened just by doing the show for going on three years now, that when something is big, big news and everyone's talking about it, it's either A, a purposeful distraction, so something else can take place, or it will most likely be used as a distraction.
	And then stuff starts to slip in.
	Or in the infamous words of Rahm Emanuel, never let a good crisis go to waste.
	So I had my eyes and ears open.
	And I'm thinking, something's got to happen.
	Did you find anything, John?
	Did you see anything weird slip through or something that just kind of happened that was like a big iceberg that...
	You know, my favorite example, somebody pointed this out to me, and I always forget about it.
	There's a clip that's floated around the internet about a year ago, and I posted it on my blog.
	We should probably remind people about it, or we should repost it, where there is a bunch of really, a frenzy of activity across the screen that you're watching.
	And there's people running around, guys going, you know, like in a building or so.
	And in the background, a bear...
	Oh, right, right, right.
	The bear walks by.
	A bear walks by.
	No one sees it.
	Exactly.
	So here's the bear, and I caught it because I have this brand new Roku box.
	By the way, I've seen a demo of the No Agenda channel.
	It's going to kick so much ass.
	It looks so beautiful.
	And what really shows is our artwork, when you can just pop, pop, pop, scroll through all the episodes, and you see all this beautiful artwork flying by.
	It's really compelling.
	It's really nice.
	More on that as it develops.
	Great human resource work being done.
	The Roku is great because you can get a number of C-SPAN things.
	They have a couple of their podcasts, but they also have White House videos, including the press briefings.
	You know how much I love Robert Gibbs.
	He's my favorite.
	I'm really going to miss him when he leaves.
	The Robert Gibbs show is coming to an end.
	The ratings were down.
	So he comes out, and first of all, the guy's got a cold sore on his lip that is like, it's as big as his nose.
	He's like, got herpes much there, Robert?
	Too much brown nosing going on?
	And the press, he's always like, he's shuffling his papers around.
	It may be a little hard to hear because most of it was off mic and the sound engineers hadn't had their coffee yet.
	And it wasn't really intended, I believe, to come on at all.
	And of course, you really have to catch this stuff.
	And the question comes from one of the journalists.
	Mr.
	Feller?
	Thanks, Robert.
	A couple topics.
	On the executive order and the president's op-ed this morning, when you look at the timing of this, is the intent here at all to tap into the widespread concern that's voiced by the Tea Party and the business community?
	Now, did you catch any of this?
	Can you hear any of that?
	Yeah, I can hear a widespread concern that's voiced by the Tea Party.
	So what you couldn't hear, as he says, regarding the executive order and the op-ed this morning, is this a...
	And so my ears perk up because you know how much I love going to WhiteHouse.gov and looking at...
	Yeah, executive orders are always bad.
	They're always very interesting.
	And he's kind of saying something like, is the timing of this, you know, to show the...
	Okay.
	And then I just want to just listen to...
	because Gibbs continuously says the same thing.
	He's basically shut up slaves.
	So just listen to his response briefly.
	...about government intervention and government...
	Government intervention.
	No, no, no.
	Shut up, slave.
	What are you talking about?
	No.
	I won't play, but he keeps on going.
	He's like, look, be quiet.
	And then they go into a healthcare conversation.
	So I'm like, hmm, okay.
	The healthcare thing is getting all the attention.
	Of course.
	But amidst all, this is not even meant, it's off mic almost.
	So I'm like, okay.
	Okay, let me get your score.
	Before I even hear this, I already know you're going to get a point on this one.
	I can tell.
	Because of the build-up.
	Yeah, I'm afraid you're right.
	You always like to build a big foundation before you come up with your thing.
	Yeah, and I waited for everything else this morning.
	Yeah, this is a pretty big one.
	So there is indeed an executive order, which is...
	I'm going to pull it all up here.
	It's under Shut Up Slave in the show notes for those of you following along.
	Improving Regulation and Regulatory Overview, an Executive Order.
	Now this is very interesting because this Executive Order...
	Is an amendment or really a change to the 1993 version of the order, which was put in place by Bill Clinton, which I think was 1269888, something like that.
	No real magic numbers.
	They're kind of meant to fly under the radar.
	And this is all about the executive branch, the president, giving all agencies the power to do whatever they need to do to put regulation in place, however they feel fit.
	And so to go along with this, and this was released on the 18th, he put out an op-ed, an opinion editorial piece, in the New York Times.
	Everyone copied it.
	I will just read a little bit from this.
	This is from the actual op-ed.
	I'm sorry.
	I think maybe it was Wall Street Journal.
	Maybe it wasn't New York Times.
	It was Wall Street Journal.
	So find Murdoch publication.
	And this was written by?
	Well, by...
	By Valerie Jarrett, probably.
	No, but I mean, who's byline?
	By Obama.
	No, Obama wrote it.
	Yeah, okay, so it's a byline.
	When did the president start writing op-eds?
	He's done a couple.
	He's done a couple.
	No, I've got to tell you, he's done a couple.
	He's done a couple.
	He did one in 2008.
	2007, I found one.
	You know, he's done a couple.
	He has done a couple.
	But now listen to this.
	So, essentially, he writes this, or he doesn't, this is executive order, very complicated language, and I really struggled through it, but I found some things that I want to point out.
	But he wrote the simple version for the slaves.
	Hello, slaves, here it is.
	where necessary we won't shy away from addressing obvious gaps new safety rules for infant formula procedures to stop preventable infections in hospitals efforts to target chronic violators of workplace safety laws but we are also making it our mission to root out regulations that conflict that are not worth the cost or are just playing dumb interesting language for president And then he gives us an example.
	For instance, the FDA has long considered saccharin, the artificial sweetener, safe for people to consume.
	Yet for years, the EPA made companies treat saccharin like other dangerous chemicals.
	Well, if it goes in your coffee, it is not hazardous waste.
	The EPA wisely eliminated this rule last month.
	That's some science for you, isn't it?
	If it goes in your coffee, it can't be dangerous.
	And I'm like, what?
	So, okay.
	I'm like, right.
	So, who is in charge of this?
	So, you go and you read.
	Thank you.
	I needed a little laugh there.
	You go and you read the improving regulation and regulatory overview executive order.
	And so there's some interesting things in here.
	Science!
	Consistent with the President's memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies, scientific integrity and its implementing guidance, each agency shall ensure the objective of any scientific and technological information and processes used to support the agency's regulatory actions.
	So the way I understand this is we're going to use science, i.e., if you put it in your coffee, it can't be bad for you, That kind of science is going to be used to create new regulations.
	And the EPA, the FDA, everybody gets to now do whatever they want.
	All they have to do is post it on the Internet.
	Oh yeah, at regulations.gov.
	So here it is to the extent feasible and permitted by law.
	So of course if it's not permitted by law we won't do it.
	Each agency shall afford the public a meaningful opportunity to comment through the Internet on any proposed regulation.
	With a comment period that should generally, words matter, be at least 60 days.
	Just like the five days that the bills are going to get posted online, that lie that we already had.
	To the extent feasible and permitted by law, each agency shall provide for both proposed and final rules timely, words matter, online access to the rulemaking docket on regulations.gov.
	So I'm like, okay, so who's in charge of all of this?
	Well, the executive order...
	The Division of Government in charge of this is OMB, which is the Oversight Management something or other.
	What is it?
	I thought it was always the Office of Management and Budget.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	Office of Management and Budget.
	And specifically at the Office of Management and Budget, it is the Regulation and Information Policy Office.
	Who is in charge of the Regulation and Information Policy Office?
	John, this is the Adam asked John a question.
	I have no idea.
	Cass Sunstein.
	Oh, how about that?
	Oh, Glenn Beck's buddy.
	Yes, so Cass, Cass...
	This is great.
	By the way, he's married to this hot chick who is now a special assistant to the president.
	Remember the woman on the Obama campaign who said Hillary Clinton was an asshole because she was crying and she got fired for it?
	Yeah, I remember that vaguely.
	Right.
	Well, she's rehired, and she's 20 years younger than he is, and she's in charge of communication.
	Yeah, Sunstein, I always look at him, he looks like just the most fart-like old professor.
	Bald.
	Well, she did a White House, she's in charge of selling stuff.
	Is this Samantha Power?
	Yes.
	And she's in charge of selling stuff.
	She's hottie.
	She's good.
	So anyway...
	This guy must have something going on, if you know what I'm saying.
	Power!
	Are you kidding me?
	Power!
	Power!
	No, I'm talking about...
	No, he's got a Schwanz the size of...
	No!
	Come on, that's what it is.
	They met in 2008.
	Four months later, they were married.
	This is a power grab.
	Four months, they were married.
	Well, her name is Power.
	Exactly.
	So anyway, so I'm like, okay, so it's just going to be like baby formula and stuff like that.
	Well...
	Human Resources of the No Agenda Show.
	Please go to the reginfo.gov dashboard Which, by the way, half of the dashboard has broken links.
	Great job, Vivek.
	Way to work.
	Yeah.
	The genius.
	Yeah, he's such a genius.
	We got the binary.
	Step logic.
	Skip logic.
	So, executive order 12-866 directs agencies to following certain principles and rulemaking such as consider blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	So then you just say, okay, show me all executive...
	Order submissions under review and you can do it by department or you just do all.
	Oh my God!
	Just look at the stuff that has been in there for the past 30 days.
	This is not just your baby formula.
	Yes, it's in there.
	But how about labeling of single ingredient products for ground or chopped meat and poultry products?
	How about environmental quality incentives programs?
	How about farm and ranch lands protection program?
	How about the wetlands reserve program?
	How about biorefinery assistance program?
	How about U.S.-India bilateral understanding?
	Certification of nations whose fishing vessels are engaged in illegal, under-reported, unregulated fishing, which is piracy.
	Identification of critical safety systems.
	Congress is no longer necessary.
	Go home!
	Attention!
	Attention!
	Members of Congress, you can go home.
	We have everything under control.
	Everything is going to be handled by his shills in the FDA, the EPA. This is where cap and trade is going to come from.
	It is a treasure trove of regulations and lawmaking.
	And it is saccharine.
	Please, I can't even find saccharine in here.
	And half these things are already passed, already approved.
	Every single rule is in here.
	And you have to be really quick to comment on it.
	Because if you don't, then it just moves right along.
	And the links don't work?
	Half the links don't work.
	It pops up with a search engine result, so you then have to choose which one you want.
	It is the biggest piece of crap.
	It's a fiasco.
	It's a total fiasco.
	But it is frightening to see what is now essentially going to be controlled by Cass Sunstein.
	I think that's how you pronounce it.
	Sunstein?
	Sunstein?
	Whatever.
	And, of course, these are all just the dumb rules.
	These are just dumb rules.
	Nothing to see here, stupid slaves.
	Don't actually go to the website and try and look at anything.
	This is dumb.
	These are just dumb rules.
	Like, if you can put it in your coffee, it can't be dangerous for you.
	By the way, saccharin is always combined with aspartame.
	Always.
	It's put in diet drinks.
	It says sweet and low.
	That's no science, Mr.
	Obama.
	That's no science.
	Here it is.
	EPA removes saccharin from hazardous substances listing.
	So I found this at the EPA website, and you'll get a kick out of it.
	The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has removed saccharin, a common artificial sweetener, common, and its salts, interesting little addition there, from the agency's list of hazardous substances.
	Saccharin is no longer considered a potential hazard to human health.
	And it says, EPA proposed the removal of saccharin and its salts from the list on April 2nd and did not receive any comments opposing the proposal.
	Yeah, because we couldn't get to it on your stupid website!
	No one opposed to it.
	Because no one knew about this.
	I love that no one opposed.
	No one knew.
	Did not receive any comments opposing the proposal.
	This is...
	It's just so...
	Congress, you can go home.
	It does not matter what you do anymore.
	Well, it does matter.
	They need to be there to provide cover.
	With bogus debates.
	Right.
	So Cass Sunstein, by the way, he wrote a couple of...
	We know that he wrote that article.
	They said we need to infiltrate...
	It was a white paper, I think, before he was anywhere near the White House.
	Yeah, this is the one that Glenn Beck keeps bringing up.
	Right, but there's another one which was far more interesting, which was about wikis in general.
	Where he actually says, and this is 2007.
	Well, I know where you're going with this because I already know that this has been going on, what you're going to say.
	Yeah, he actually says, you know, this Wikipedia thing is great.
	You watch.
	WikiLeaks is going to be bringing out all kinds of information in the future.
	In 2007, he said this.
	So that's when he became...
	Well, you're talking about WikiLeaks.
	I thought there was an initiative amongst these people to infiltrate things like the Wikipedia and make sure that...
	You have to see the two articles in context.
	One article he wrote, which was like a white paper when he was a professor, and there he said, we have to infiltrate these groups, like the No Agenda chat room, but also all of these dissenting groups.
	And then he has a separate article, which was published in the New York Times in 2007, where he says, Wiki is going to be it, and he specifically says, WikiLeaks is going to be great because they're going to have all kinds of information about all these horrible people.
	So...
	Combine the two, WikiLeaks has been infiltrated.
	And Cass Sunstein is running it.
	I believe he's running it.
	Well, this makes it even more interesting, because one of the targets of the WikiLeaks...
	I don't think he's running it, but it's a good idea.
	I think he's the handler.
	I like it.
	I'm not going to make the...
	I'm not going to...
	Dvorak, you're not challenging Curry enough.
	It's called A Brave New Wiki World.
	Oh, sorry, Washington Post.
	Compromised Washington Post.
	I'm sorry, it wasn't the New York Times.
	Well, what makes this interesting to me is the fact that Cass Sunstein is with this woman Powers, and I was just looking her up, and she's the one who says what she'd say about Clinton and that thing that got caught on tape that was...
	She's a bitch or whatever.
	She'll do anything.
	There's another quote from her somebody dug up on Hillary Clinton.
	She's a monster, too.
	That is off the record.
	She is stooping to anything.
	The amount of deceit she has put forward is really unattractive.
	She got fired for that, but now she's back.
	Well, Cass Sunstein's now, you know, who's the wronged husband here, and the WikiLeaks revealing all this anti-Hillary material.
	You think that's a coincidence?
	I think not!
	Exactly.
	So here he is in 2007, in his article.
	The Central Intelligence Agency disclosed the existence of its top-secret Intellipedia project based on Wikipedia software, and now containing more than 28,000 pages.
	He's already connecting the CIA... To Wiki.
	To all things Wiki.
	The Autism Wiki.
	In general, the result...
	I'm just reading it through here.
	It's in the show notes.
	Everyone needs to go take a look at it.
	But here he literally talks about Wikipedia.
	WikiLeaks being great at leaking information.
	So there you go.
	He's married to the woman who hates Hillary Clinton.
	He's talked about infiltrating groups.
	Specifically mentioning WikiLeaks.
	And then what comes out on WikiLeaks is highly embarrassing to Hillary Clinton.
	Done.
	Close the book on it.
	Done.
	Close.
	Wow.
	Close the book on it.
	I'm telling you.
	I'll give you two points, and I'll actually give Glenn Beck one, because he keeps bringing this guy's name into it.
	Yeah.
	Well...
	He doesn't do as good and elegant a job as you did, though, and I think you need to close out this segment with a pet peeve theme for yourself.
	Oh, thank you very much.
	Which is not true because we have stuff about Haiti coming up.
	You can have more than one pet peeve of the day.
	So anyway, put that together with the Facebook scam.
	And of course all these guys, you know Cass Sunstein is going to be in the Facebook IPO. Please.
	You know he's going to be a part of that.
	So put it all together.
	By the way, let me just look at Samantha Power.
	She runs the Office of Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights.
	I'm sure she's really good.
	A special assistant to President Barack Obama.
	And she's been around, man.
	She was with Bush, with Clinton.
	She's been in all kinds of stuff.
	Anyway, so combine this with Facebook.
	Which is, of course, completely compromised through the In-Q-Tel investment, which is a known and admitted CIA venture capital firm.
	Yeah, so it's a major one.
	Yeah, the CIA has a venture capital firm right here in Silicon Valley.
	It's not secret.
	It's not a secret firm.
	It's open.
	The board of directors is quite unique.
	You should check it out.
	It's quite interesting to see who advises them.
	And they invest in stuff that's CIA-related.
	I mean, it's not that would benefit the agency, you know, some technology that can spy on you better or whatever.
	So, no, and this is what they're doing, and it's brilliant.
	And this, of course, is part of the infiltration that Cass Sunstein, who is the regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein has been talking about, is making stuff go viral.
	So we just had a revolution, a kind of a revolt in Tunisia.
	Right.
	And how did this start?
	Right.
	It was like the lavender.
	It's another one of these color things.
	Whenever there's a color involved, you know it's CIA. Like the Lavender Revolution or something like that.
	It started because people started Facebooking about this young vegetable peddler whose cart got taken away from him.
	And then that shit goes viral.
	Sorry, didn't mean to let that slip out.
	But that goes viral.
	And then, you know, human resources are very simple to manipulate...
	Oh, this is outrageous!
	And he set himself on fire!
	He was so angry!
	They start Facebooking about it.
	It goes viral.
	And then they head out onto the streets.
	You get flash mobs.
	This is how we're going to be controlled.
	We're going to be controlled by Twitter-trending topics and Facebook groups.
	And colors and flash mobs.
	Yeah, colors and flash mobs.
	So whenever someone associates a color...
	Like, they tried it.
	Their test balloon was the Iran Green Revolution.
	Remember everyone made their icon green?
	Everybody that's on Twitter, all the muckety-mucks, they had to make their picture green.
	Change your picture to green, you stupid slaves.
	And this is how they're going to do it.
	And they ousted the leader of Tunisia.
	I mean, you wonder why.
	You wonder why.
	The guy had actually just tried to lower food prices because they were so off the hook.
	Because you get this huge following of people just going like, hey, this is outrageous, and people will eventually take to the streets.
	And it can happen anywhere.
	And by the way, Facebook, Goldman Sachs says now 650 million people, people, which I don't believe, accounts, profiles, maybe, people, doubtful, are on Facebook.
	The fastest growing segments are in poor countries.
	Where these people can easily be manipulated with a color and a flash mob.
	Hey!
	Hey, human resource, here's a color and a flash mob.
	Go right on the streets.
	So anyway, be aware of that.
	Be aware of colors and flash mobs because it's not good.
	Not good.
	Yeah, well, actually, the color thing is now, you know, yeah, I agree.
	I think if you see anything related to a color, associative color, then I would be leery.
	So, let me do...
	I got some actual work done.
	I'm pretty proud of myself.
	Here's...
	I found it for you, by the way.
	Here we go.
	This falls under the heading of...
	So I was irritated by...
	Because you tried to do it quickly.
	Of course, we didn't really have the time on the last show.
	We're talking about the Ark Storm, California's other big one.
	In every single report I read, this is what we do, by the way, people.
	This is what you're paying for.
	This is why you're supporting the show, for this research to be done.
	So I keep reading in every single report, over a hundred scientists have said that the big one can come.
	It hasn't happened since 1861.
	It happens every one or two hundred years, which means it could happen when we're all dead and gone.
	But it could happen.
	From the Yosemite Valley to the Pacific Coast, this land is made for you and me with wet feet.
	We're all going to die.
	And it's called Ark Storm.
	And you tried to find it.
	Because you did exactly the right thing.
	What we have trained ourselves is what is the movie that this is promoting?
	Yeah.
	What is the movie?
	People should do this routinely.
	When you see something happening in the news, you Google it and then add the word either movie or oil.
	I found it.
	Okay.
	It's called Noah's Ark, The New Beginning.
	An upcoming animated film featuring an ensemble cast.
	It's the retelling of the biblical story of Noah's Ark.
	It should be coming out in February.
	Michael Keaton as Noah.
	Ben Kingsley as the narrator.
	Elliot Gould as God.
	This is a huge movie, people.
	Oh, you know, I think I may have bumped into that, but I just thought it was a cartoon.
	That can't be it.
	That's not a cartoon.
	It's an animated film.
	Yeah, but I didn't realize it had those heavy hitters in it.
	Yeah, Rob Schneider as Zed.
	Who else is in here?
	Nicolette Sheridan.
	This is Howie Mandel.
	This is a big, big movie.
	This is big.
	And it's in production now.
	And it should be in theaters very soon.
	They're like, well, there you go.
	That's it.
	Well, that didn't take much.
	No, it actually did.
	It was hard to find.
	Well, yeah, it took a little more work than usual, but it was the same result.
	It was hard, but we got it.
	I'm getting a little sick of this model, by the way.
	It really, I tell you, I think you may have been the one about two or three years ago that picked up on it.
	And then, of course, I just do the same thing now.
	And it happens so often that it's actually tiresome.
	Yeah, it is getting a little old.
	It's like, why?
	And then the media just keeps doing it.
	Yeah.
	Because the public just, oh, I don't know.
	I mean, I first noticed it before we started doing it years ago, as like an eye roller, was this Mothman.
	Oh.
	The movie Mothman.
	Mothman, yeah, I remember that one.
	That's where it started, I think.
	I think you found it, actually.
	It could be.
	But Mothman had...
	And news story after news story and everything, the overnight show that's on the radio, all the talk shows had these anecdotes about Mothman in the South and Mothman, Mothman.
	And then the movie comes out, and then the movie comes and goes, and you never hear about Mothman ever again.
	No.
	No, you'll never hear about the Ark Storm either.
	Well, they'll play it up a little bit more until the movie comes out.
	Meanwhile, there's these executive orders that we uncover, or you in this case, and nobody covers any of that stuff.
	It's too hard to read.
	They can't even read Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
	It's too hard to read.
	Go ahead and look at it.
	It's in the show notes.
	Very discouraging.
	But you look at it, it's like...
	And I actually sat down...
	Mickey was at class last night.
	I sat down for an hour and said, okay...
	I'm going to do this.
	Because it keeps referencing the old Executive Order 12688.
	So you have to go back and forth.
	Because it says the term agency in this case shall be the same as referred to in Executive Order 12688.
	So you have to go back to Clinton.
	Is it too much for them to cut and paste?
	No, the whole point is so that you don't do the work.
	This is what I learned with the Lisbon Treaty.
	It's like, put the stuff where killing people is legal in protocol somewhere else, so you've got to go find that document and read through that, and by the time you've read that, you're confused and you forgot about where you were in the original piece, so you go back and forth, back and forth, and that's where I found out that it's OMB, because it doesn't actually say that in his executive order.
	You have to go back to the 1993 document, thank God for the internet, Thank you, Google, in that case.
	Anyway, there was more blatant biodiversity crap going on.
	The funniest one, and I'm so pissed I didn't get a sound clip of it.
	Rick Fox of the Los Angeles Lakers.
	Was on the KTLA Morning Show.
	And he was promoting his guest starring role.
	And not just one.
	He'll be on a couple of episodes.
	And of course we know that the nerd kid won the Golden Globe for his role.
	Probably another set up.
	It's like he's going to be on The Big Bang Theory, which his first guest starring role is tonight.
	Now, the guy seems nice.
	He's a great ball player.
	He does funny stuff.
	He does some hip-hop stuff.
	He's a celebrity.
	He's okay.
	I'm okay with him.
	And he's got the Hollywood good looks.
	Yeah, he's a beautiful man.
	He's big.
	Doesn't really fit on the show.
	No, I wouldn't think so.
	He kind of stands out.
	It's like a whole bunch of wimpy white nerds and a big, beautiful black man.
	Okay.
	And then, you know, so it goes on and on and on.
	It's like, oh, this is really funny, and, you know, why did you do that?
	Well, they asked me, and blah, blah, blah.
	And I'm like, okay.
	And then it comes out, because the way he said it was so funny, I'm so sorry I don't have a sound clip.
	He says, so what is your role?
	I'm playing a professor.
	A professor on global warming.
	I'm like, oh, God!
	No!
	Wow.
	A global warming professor.
	What is that degree?
	I have my degree in global warming.
	He literally says, I'm playing a global warming professor.
	So then, let me just wrap up my segment here.
	With a little piece that is from the Ministry of the Truth over there in the United States of Europe.
	This is a piece from the Lisbon Council's Eco-Innovation Forum, titled Cancun and Beyond.
	It's like you can almost hear Buzz Lightyear saying it.
	To Cancun and Beyond!
	And it's the president of the Biodiversité stuff.
	Remember, she was introduced in Copenhagen, Connie Hedegaard.
	And she's sitting there in a forum talking to business people.
	And I'll just play some of this and you tell me when you've had enough.
	And on the panel, on the dais with her, are two guys from the Philips Lighting Foundation.
	Now, Philips...
	The LED company now.
	Well, Philips makes a lot.
	I mean, they make...
	They're like a GE of Europe.
	Yeah, no, they're huge, and they make a lot of light bulbs, but they're also one of the biggest suppliers of the new LEDs, so they've got to relight the kind of...
	Oh, yeah.
	We have to re...
	Before I heard this, but I'll just say this to people out there.
	We are in the process, these companies, and people like Philips are going to make the most money, of re...
	We've already test marketed the fact that we could talk people into buying these stupid compact fluorescent bulbs which are idiotic.
	Which emit all kinds of electricity and weird crap.
	They buzz and they sputter.
	They look like crap.
	The colors are bad.
	They don't kill bugs.
	They fade.
	They get bright for a while.
	They give you headaches.
	Everything's wrong with them.
	But we've sold the public on it.
	We've passed laws.
	We've got to get rid of incandescent.
	Why?
	Why?
	Just to see what we can get away with.
	Well, it's all a prelude to rewiring the entire world with LEDs, which will indeed save a lot of money, but they've never gotten the color quite right, if you haven't noticed.
	Yeah, no, they have not.
	It's like harsh, harsh lighting.
	And you can't put them in half your lights.
	You got a chandelier, which I don't.
	You're screwed.
	I have a recessed ceiling light.
	It doesn't fit because these things are bulky and bulbous and they look like curlicue fries.
	Well, actually, the new ones won't be.
	The new bulbs, the new LED bulbs, the little bitty bulbs now are extremely bright.
	You can get about 75 watts of light.
	Yeah, but I also like light for lighting, for mood, for ambiance, not just to read by.
	They'll get it.
	So anyway, I'm happy I got this clip, and you should watch the whole clip.
	This is about business, people.
	This is 100% about business, and she's not ashamed of saying it, and these are all Dutch guys, of course.
	The Dutch are always, the evil elitist Dutch are always there when you're going to get screwed.
	Yeah.
	Oh, they have the same music as we do, by the way.
	That's kind of cool.
	They use the same stock music.
	Yeah, here we go.
	Tax more what we burn and less what we earn.
	Oh, I love that.
	Tax more what we burn and less that we earn.
	This is a new meme.
	Be on the lookout for that one.
	I think that there is really room for a paradigm shift there.
	It's not going to come by in just one year or two years, but as a vision, we should tax less labor when we need people to work more and attract labor force, and we should tax more resources when we need to focus on resource efficiency.
	So, you hear what she's saying now.
	She's saying we're going to tax what you burn, not what you earn.
	So, slaves, you think you're not going to get taxed more, but you're going to get taxed more.
	The core of the problem is that over the past decades, we have created a society that is optimized on lowest initial cost.
	So for everything we do, looking at price tags, the process of our behavior, the processes we have, I look at procurements, municipal procurements, everything drives down initial prices through tenant processes, but also the way we judge things as voters, media, look at the midterm elections, everybody's after instant gratification.
	Our future is a low-carbon economy future.
	That is the only way.
	Stand by.
	Here it comes.
	The words are actually going to come out of her mouth.
	In which Europe can be successful economically.
	And that fits so well with the original theme of this organization, the Lisbon Council, because remember this organization stems from an initiative under previous commissions to drive the competitiveness of the European economy.
	I'm not going to dwell a lot with the next Chinese five-year plan.
	I would just say that I believe that many Europeans will be in for a surprise, not to talk about many Americans.
	When they see the next five-year plan, where if we take what we have been able to read about it and seen from public announcements, there will be carbon targets, there will be a pricing mechanism for energy somehow, probably there will be pilot projects for some kind of carbon trade system.
	Thank you!
	Just wanted to hear you say it.
	And not just the Europeans, but the Americans will be surprised by this.
	Oh, yeah, we're going to be screwed because we won't be able to sell our goods unless we voluntarily go along with their program.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	You should, if you have a chance...
	The Chinese, by the way, do whatever they want.
	Of course.
	They own us.
	Shut up.
	They own the Europeans, too.
	Yeah, they own everything.
	So, okay.
	Well, that's great.
	Let's lighten the mood for a second.
	You know, there was a funny, I want to mention this since you mentioned cap and trade and carbon and all the rest of it.
	I have to say, I was listening, going into San Francisco, I was listening to Limbaugh the other day, and he came up with a thesis that...
	By the way, she said Target.
	Does she know that she can't talk about that anymore?
	Well, she'll get a memo from CNN. I can't use a clip if you use the word Target.
	Thank you, chat room.
	And what is Target stores going to do?
	They got a Target on there as their logo.
	Yeah.
	Target has to close.
	They've got to close all Target stores.
	And don't they sell firearms at Target?
	That's even worse.
	No, that's Kmart.
	Hold on a second, John.
	Hold on a second.
	And now, back to real news.
	I thought they were bankrupt, but I guess they got some kind of injection of cash.
	The National Enquirer is still in business.
	And they've got a huge article.
	Enquirer exclusive.
	The real reason behind President Obama's shocking weight loss.
	Oh, this is the tapeworm story.
	Yeah, he's secretly battling stomach parasites, sources say.
	The pencil-thin president caught the parasites on a trip last year to Hawaii, where he and his family also vacationed over Christmas, and they got a picture of him looking pretty damn sickly.
	Oh, you gotta eat, though.
	You know, the sushi in Hawaii is pretty aggressive.
	Yeah.
	Our president could be sick, and they're not telling us the truth.
	They got these pills that the Japanese like to take, and I have a bottle of them.
	My wife always thinks it's disgusting.
	I can't remember the name of them, but if you look on the ingredients, it starts with an S. The ingredient is basically a small ball of creosote.
	I think you've talked about this before.
	Yeah, we have talked about it.
	And you take these things, and of course you basically belch smoke for about a day.
	Yeah.
	But every so often.
	Really?
	Yeah, it's like, oh, boop, and then it's like a little puff of smoke comes out of your mouth.
	That's a great effect.
	I want to try it just for the effect.
	Hi.
	What was that?
	That's funny.
	But they're designed to kill those things.
	But anyway.
	I like it.
	Before we get into our donation segment, I think we're headed there, right?
	Yeah, I think we're...
	I want to play something from a national treasure.
	Oh, a national treasure, yes, indeed.
	The NPR. They played this editorial from this woman, Daisy Hernandez, who seemed that during the Tucson shooting to be preoccupied with who did the shooting in such a way that it definitely wasn't going to be an illegal immigrant.
	But I want to play the entire little...
	I think it's about a one-minute op-ed that she does on NPR. Featured.
	This was picked up by most of the right-wing TV shows.
	And they all missed the point.
	They all brought up...
	Their argument was, oh, well, you can't bring race into this.
	Why are they bringing race into this?
	And all the rest of it.
	Race?
	How did they get race into the conversation?
	Well, she got race into it by talking about race and the shooting.
	Just by saying, hey, hey.
	But everybody missed the real point.
	As far as I'm concerned, of what she did and why NPR should be scolded and why this woman should never appear again.
	Play the clip and I will explain.
	It's safe to say there was a collective sigh of brown relief when the Tucson killer turned out to be a gringo.
	Had the shooter been Latino, media pundits wouldn't be discussing the impact of nasty politics on a young man this week.
	They'd be demanding an even more stringent anti-immigrant policy.
	In short, the only reason the nation is taking a few days to reflect on the animosity in politics is precisely because the shooter was not Latino.
	Okay, now here's the deal.
	Why are we being called, I'm not talking about the shooter.
	In the United States of America, why are we being tarred with, why is a white person, I don't care if he's a killer or not, why is any white person being tarred with the epithet as slur for foreigner that means lousy, grimy foreigner in our own country?
	She freely uses the word gringo to refer to whites, Latinos to refer to Mexican-Americans or Mexicans or whatever, but the fact of the matter is the United States of America were not gringos.
	It's an unbelievable slur, and she gets away with it, NPR says nothing, and nobody picks up on this?
	Are you kidding me?
	I'm just reading, the American Heritage Dictionary classifies gringo as offensive slang, usually disparaging and often disparaging.
	However, the term can also be used to simply identify a foreigner, which we're not in this country, and does not carry a negative connotation according to the definition in the dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy, which defines the Spanish language.
	Well, I'm offended.
	I'm offended and I'm not a foreigner in the United States.
	And nobody notices this and they don't even care.
	And they talk about something else.
	And we're talking about Fox News.
	They missed it.
	And we're talking about NPR who encourages this.
	And they get millions and millions of dollars.
	And they wonder why people are complaining about this.
	Give me a break.
	People are giving them money for this crap.
	Really?
	Hey, give us our money back.
	Hey, we're going to steer them drones over your head, calling us gringos.
	Yeah, that's pretty bad.
	I mean, I didn't cringe, but of course I heard it, and I was like, wow, really, gringo?
	Yeah, that's pretty bad.
	And that is our national treasurer, known as NPR, who takes money from commercial companies and is compromised.
	Someone actually did the research for me, one of our human resources.
	I don't have the exact quote, but the rules at NPR are program makers are not allowed to talk to their commercial donors.
	It doesn't say anything about entities or foundations.
	But senior executives are.
	Which is probably worse.
	Yeah, totally.
	And that's how it works, ladies and gentlemen.
	It's always the top dogs that do all this.
	So we, of course, are happy to speak with all of our donors at any moment of the time because they actually give us most of the fuel and material for this show, if not directly through research, and gosh, you guys have done a lot of great research as usual, but also through ideas, and you help us pay the bills.
	Yeah.
	Which we're highly appreciative of.
	And I'd like to start off with a quick little karma segment I received here.
	Hold on a second while you get your spreadsheet ready there, John.
	John and Adam, I got in on the 1111 on the donation for the 266 show, which was the 2nd of January.
	Got some karma for a job interview with the Philadelphia DEP. I guess that's energy and power department that I had on the next day.
	A donation got read again on the 6th and I got a double dose of karma.
	I just got a call from them and I got the job.
	I'll be a chemist testing water samples for pesticides and other chemicals.
	All aboard the train!
	This job is a godsend for me.
	I graduated a mixed message with those two clips.
	I don't know.
	I was bad.
	I've been listening to No Agenda since around show 70.
	Have not missed a show since then.
	Thank you for providing this great show to us slaves.
	Thank you, Minuteman Andrew Schmidt.
	Minuteman Andrew, we really appreciate the support.
	That's great, and I just wanted to follow up on his karma.
	We, of course, can't promise karma, but something does seem to work.
	We got a lot of letters this week from different people with karma stories.
	All positive.
	Really?
	Great.
	Well, let's read off the people who donated that need a quick mention.
	Let's start with Veronica Roberts out of Boise, Idaho.
	$170 in the morning, guys.
	She should finish off her damehood in time for my birthday.
	She's a double doser here today.
	Birthday and a dame.
	Yep.
	Where she turns three cubed, which is nine.
	She's only nine years old, apparently.
	And she still listens to the show.
	And she would like a little bit of karma, so we'll give that to her right now.
	You've got karma.
	And we'll double dose her later on.
	You know, starting at the age of nine is quite good.
	Robert Alter, three cubed might also mean she's 333 years old, but I don't believe that's true.
	Sir Robert Alter in Kansas City, Missouri, gave us $150.
	Cool Joe Design, Scuba Vision Productions, and Chris Ruddy all signed up from variously Princeton, Ontario, Boston, Mass., and Jackson Heights, New York.
	I'm sorry, Kansas.
	No, I'm sorry, just those two.
	Cool Design and Scuba Vision signed up for the $111.11.
	This is new, by the way.
	Go to dvorak.org.na.
	And you can sign up for a 11-11-11 knighthood on the layaway plan.
	Chris Ruddy, $100.23.
	John Smith, sorry, Sir John Smith, St.
	Petersburg, Florida, just trying to give you the tools you need to fight fascism.
	No agenda episodes are my meds.
	That's right.
	The Mavericks of Media are your meds.
	Mavericks of Media, that's us.
	$100, there'll be a second night, a double night next month.
	Peter Parisi in Redcliffe, Western Australia.
	$100, he was saving up for a new iPad, but figured the money was better spent on YouTube.
	Oh, that's awesome, dude.
	And you're right.
	It is.
	And he's actually from Perth, which is the place I want to visit.
	You know, Mickey and I... You've been to Perth.
	Yeah, but we want to go to Australia for two weeks.
	Well, why don't you go to Australia for two weeks and then take the train to Perth?
	I'm not going to take that blasted train again.
	I've done that.
	The 24-hour train.
	I'm not getting on that thing.
	Not at all.
	I understand it's very scenic.
	But I figure that if we go to Australia, we'll have no problem finding shelter and beer.
	Foster's.
	Oh, yeah.
	How about VB's, man?
	Victoria Bitter.
	Is that the good stuff?
	Well, that's the stuff that comes in.
	You know Foster's can't be the good stuff.
	No, of course not.
	It's VB. And then you drink this Victoria Bitter.
	It comes in like an oil drum.
	It's like, here.
	What?
	It's huge.
	And they'll keep, I remember when I was there, they'll keep putting one in front of you.
	I can drink one beer.
	Maybe two.
	But you don't want to insult your hosts.
	Yeah.
	I've never been so drunk in my life as in Australia.
	And I went to the Spinsters and Bachelors Ball.
	Our Gitmo Nation down under people will know what that is.
	Three days of drunk.
	And we back the ute!
	Anyway.
	Simply Helpful, LLC out of Oakland, California, $100.
	Julie Kissick, Eaton, Colorado, 7777.
	She's a CIS admin in Colorado and needs some special karma for all her networks while on vacation.
	Absolutely.
	Hell yeah.
	You've got karma.
	Because, you know, sysadmins never go on vacation.
	They always have to have...
	And as soon as they leave, they all know this is a fact.
	The network goes down.
	As soon as they leave, boom, it goes down.
	The VPN breaks, the network goes down, all that stuff happens.
	It's a nightmare.
	She loves the show, but finds herself...
	Thank you, honey.
	She loves the show, but finds herself extremely irritated listening to network news.
	I wonder why.
	Gee, maybe it's because you've assassinated it for yourself.
	Mrs.
	D, Clifton Park, New York, $75, and she needs karma, too.
	Oh, well, we can hand that out.
	We're doing good today.
	You've got karma.
	And while we're at it, John, if I can just interrupt you for one second, Brother Porter in the chat room, he donated a while ago before we were handing out karma.
	He says he only has eight bucks left in the bank, so let's hand him some karma here for a second.
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	I mean, eight bucks left in the bank.
	That sucks.
	It's not good.
	We're bad, but it's not quite that bad.
	Holy moly.
	Here's karma for you there, Brother Porter.
	All right.
	Lawrence Schell, Lancaster, California.
	6666.
	Inspired by another producer.
	He's doubling down on his 10-10-10 coin purchase.
	Also upgraded my monthly from $5 to the new $11.11 level.
	By the way, we do have a new level to celebrate what's coming up, which is $11.11 in November.
	We have an $11...
	Oops.
	Well, that's not good.
	Hold on, John.
	We lost you there for a second.
	We have an $11 what?
	Okay, I was going to say we have a new $11.11 subscription level that we encourage people to upgrade to.
	And this is in celebration of $11.11.11, which is coming up in November.
	Once-in-a-lifetime situation.
	And we'd like to get everybody moved to this new subscription model.
	He says that everyone can do this and should.
	I love the coin.
	Also, you should...
	Keep mine close, or we should keep ours close because he's going to be one of those guys with the coin challenging listeners.
	Oh, yes.
	You've got to be careful.
	You've got to be on the lookout.
	Yeah, they don't mess around.
	It's something.
	Let's overscroll here.
	And then we have Nick Rolai Lachinsky.
	Who's donated to cover the cost for the first challenge coin and he thinks Eric did a fantastic job.
	I think Eric keeps putting this in here.
	People keep getting credit.
	I don't know what's going on there.
	What's that happen?
	It's a good idea.
	It's a funny thing.
	Listen, we all know Eric's great, okay?
	You don't need to say it anymore.
	He's not that great.
	He's not that great.
	Or Alan Asif.
	Alan Asif in Decatur, or Asaf, one of the two, in Decatur, Georgia.
	Nice little area.
	Minuteman Alan here.
	Just a couple of weeks into 2011, you're providing terrific information to us slaves.
	Keep up the good work.
	Special note to the 99%ers out there.
	Be a donor, not a boner.
	5510, double nickels on the dime from Alan.
	Maxwell Roberts, Crown Point, Indiana.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	He wants to indulge two comments.
	I'd like to give some karma to Scott McLaughlin.
	Okay, here we go.
	You've got karma.
	We'll find out next week.
	I'd also like to call out Nick O'Donohue and all of Gitmo Nation Great White North as being douchebag.
	Especially since the Canadian dollar is on par with the U.S. dollar and it's a good deal.
	Which is kind of depressing.
	We always like to go to Canada because everything was 25% off.
	Peter Luckraft, he needs some karma for his wife.
	He's got a $55 donation.
	You've got karma.
	We've got just karma day today.
	It is karma day.
	Christopher Richards, North Platte, Nebraska, 5333.
	Not sure where that comes from.
	He's loving the OSDC, excuse me, the DC, the whatever.
	Open source daily source code, yes.
	It's the future of radio.
	It is, that's right.
	You should listen to it right after the show, before the show.
	It's noagendastream.com.
	We've got something amazing going on.
	Yeah, he's got something amazing going on.
	I de-douche the guy.
	No problem.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	You d-douched.
	There we go.
	Wow, that's a weird d-douched.
	That was a big mix-up.
	You guys soaked.
	Let me just...
	So, he's also at Christopher with a K-R, if you want to go to Twitter and say hello.
	Martin Pieters...
	Martin Pieters.
	In VNN UT Netherlands.
	Okay.
	Martin Pieters.
	Martin Peters.
	Martin.
	Martin Peters.
	In Vianen.
	Vianen.
	Utrecht.
	Utrecht.
	That's the only reason they send money.
	It's just to hear you pronounce it.
	They don't even listen to the show.
	It's just like, hey, you want a cool ringtone?
	Hey, you should just send the PayPal this guy and then record it.
	It's funny.
	I can imagine the guy's phone ringing.
	Martin, Martin, Martin.
	Martin.
	Just go ahead.
	Give him a ringtone.
	Give him a ringtone.
	Martin Peters in Vienna in Utrecht.
	Your phone's ringing.
	Could it be any worse than that?
	That's about it.
	That's perfect.
	It's been a while since donating.
	He's catching up.
	Alan Martin, a more simplified version of the name in Brandon, Florida.
	$50.
	Also, Bradley Serbu in Naples, Florida.
	A couple of Floridians.
	Thank you very much.
	George Vander, Larry Corpy, Ricky Pierce are on the...
	The knighthood march.
	They may actually have their knighthoods by now.
	We should do some accounting for them.
	Scott McKenzie, Stockport, Cheshire, UK. Scott Singer.
	No, I just want to get the rest of the names and then we'll go back.
	Scott Singer, Pewaukee, Wisconsin, and Simon Dunstone in Adelaide.
	Who needs a de-douching, and so does apparently some other people.
	Let's go back to...
	You've been de-douched.
	He's trying to change careers there in Australia.
	In the morning, John and Adam says, Scott McKenzie, here's the first proceeds from the sales of One Day in Gitmo Nation.
	Thank you, honey.
	From the noagendanovels.com.
	It's actually a male.
	I don't know why you're calling him.
	I'm thanking Michalakis Del Blanco.
	The download copies have been selling well, but I'd like to encourage people to pick up paperback copies for themselves and their friends in time for the World Book Day.
	One Day in Gitmo Nation is a very funny novel.
	You can find it at noagendanovels.com.
	I've read it.
	We sanction it.
	We are...
	We're on the back cover.
	The book has been inspired by this program.
	And when you read it, you will...
	Of course, it's a terrifying story with an interesting ending.
	But everything is in it.
	Everything.
	And you'll just chuckle.
	You'll be laughing.
	The regular listeners will love this book.
	You'll be lolling throughout the book.
	And so there's, I guess, a World Book Day.
	I'm not sure what that is, but maybe you can explain it to us.
	It's World Book Day.
	And then I would like to just say savadikap to Lek, who, as far as he can tell, is our first Thai donor to the show.
	His full name is Surachet Charlon Kajon Chai, but you can just call him Lek.
	And he only donated $42, but I thought it was interesting we had a Thai listener in the audience and wanted to say, which is about the only Thai I speak.
	What does it mean?
	Hey, how are you doing?
	It probably means I'm a douchebag.
	Idiot.
	Stupid idiot.
	Well, at least the Thais have jumped on board.
	I mean, there's a small country.
	Take a look at the country of India, for example.
	No, never mind.
	Don't take a look.
	No, don't even go there.
	Prolific programmer will get upset.
	No, he's from Pakistan.
	Whatever.
	You say D&D, I say Pakistan.
	So I want to thank everybody and also the people that are jumping on board at the $11.11 subscription.
	We appreciate that.
	Also, go to your email box and read the No Agenda.
	The from is from No Agenda Show.
	There's a mailing we sent out describing some of these new initiatives and also complaining about that Time Magazine cover.
	We need all the support.
	We can't do the show without you.
	In fact, we try to give you your money's worth in terms of total hours of usage.
	Anyone who's a commuter in their car should appreciate this show because this gives you something to listen to that's not a bunch of pablum.
	Pablum?
	That would be what the rest of the media is, is pablum.
	Pablum.
	Pablum is a baby.
	That is the word of the day, pablum.
	Yeah, it's baby food.
	Oh, word of the day, pablum.
	So yeah, dvorak.org slash na, channeldvorak.com slash na, or go to noagendashow.com and click on the donation link.
	We absolutely need your support.
	And yeah, I do like the 11-11.
	That's the new giving level.
	Everyone, thanks for your $5 a month, for your Lucky 30, your 33-33.
	Mothership boarding passes.
	Those are going to be sold out pretty soon, I think.
	I'll have to do some accounting on that as well.
	And now, ladies and gentlemen...
	It's your birthday, birthday!
	On no agenda!
	We only have one birthday to celebrate today.
	It is Veronica Roberts, who we're going to dame in a moment.
	By the way, I know that most of you are thinking, poor old John.
	He doesn't even know what three cubed is.
	He thinks it's nine.
	It is actually 27.
	Happy birthday, Veronica Roberts, from your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	Oh, you're right.
	It is 27, because 3 times 3 is 9.
	That's 3 is squared, and then times 3 is 27.
	Really?
	Well, it's not as funny.
	I mean, it's funny to think she's 9.
	Grab your blade, dude.
	Grab your blade.
	Yeah.
	Hold on.
	Where is it?
	Here it comes.
	Oh, okay.
	Veronica Roberts, now officially 3 cubed and congratulated as such.
	We would like you to step forward here to the dais and step up to the Mavericks of Media.
	As you have supported this program in an outrageous amount of more than $1,000, and we could not be more proud to officially knight you, Dane Veronica Roberts.
	Please come on over to the round table.
	Enjoy your Cabernet and Rent boys.
	There you go.
	I feel like an idiot for not knowing that she's 27.
	So, the hot ticket last night, John, at Le White House, Le Villa Blanche, was, of course, the state dinner for the...
	Is it the Prime Minister of...
	No, he's the Premier, the guy who runs the place.
	Yeah, he's the top dog.
	Top dog.
	Whatever they call him.
	So, they had the...
	You know, he only went because he thought it was a steak dinner.
	They actually had apple pie and some, like, old meat.
	Old meat.
	He was like...
	That's what they said.
	It was like, I heard about the guy.
	I'm interested in that.
	What are they eating there?
	So, of course, Jamie Dimon there.
	Blank fine from Goldman Sachs.
	All the banksters were in the house, but also on the list.
	Very interesting.
	You okay?
	Yeah, I'm sorry.
	Am I banging the mic?
	Yeah, just a little.
	Sorry.
	Other people who are very important to world events, such as Barbra Streisand and James Brolin.
	Oh!
	Very good.
	Or, how about this one?
	Yo-Yo Ma.
	Which is his actual name, apparently.
	Yeah, Yo-Yo.
	Mr.
	Yo-Yo Ma.
	And my favorite, she must have been on Michelle's guest list, Anna Wintour of Vogue magazine.
	These are all really important people.
	They're really world leaders in making it all happen.
	Anna Wintour is probably the most important person.
	She's probably the most influential person there.
	You're right.
	Just a quick shout out to all of the lower level elites who are actually good and not on board with the program as the Ministry of Truth known as WikiLeaks is about to out you.
	So they say that they have 2,000 bank and tax records of people hiding money in Switzerland.
	Well, these are the people who aren't on board with the program, obviously.
	Obviously.
	You're getting screwed.
	Congratulations.
	Hey, I thought I went through it because it was a secret.
	We kept it a secret, man.
	We kept it a secret.
	This crook stole our stuff.
	We're suing him.
	We kept it a secret.
	It's not our fault.
	And what's interesting is, and a throwback to the OMB database of regulations, they've changed the regulations for reporting of foreign income, and there's all kinds of exemptions.
	I think basically if you have elite on your passport, then you don't have to report it.
	But that comes at the same time WikiLeaks is about to...
	I mean, coincidence?
	I think not.
	It comes at the same time they're about to announce 2,000...
	Clearly, slaves were getting outed.
	This is the one clip that I didn't grab, but did you see that, you know, talking about the elites, and we talked earlier about the Golden Globes, it was the guy who was Sorin, that jerk-off Sorin, the guy, or what's his name?
	Sorkin.
	Aaron Sorkin.
	Andrew Sorkin came up and he went on.
	No, no, no.
	You made a very interesting mistake.
	Andrew Sorkin writes for the New York Times.
	It's the other Sorkin.
	Yeah, this Sorkin.
	And I think they're related, actually.
	I wouldn't be surprised.
	But whatever the case is, this Sorkin, the guy who is the producer that did the West Wing.
	The left wing.
	The left wing.
	And he's also Clinton's pal and the rest of it.
	He comes out there with a speech pro-elite.
	Did you hear this?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	And this shows you how important the elite are.
	I try to tell my daughters that she can be sitting in this great audience with all the elites, and elitism is good.
	Oh, you know, you're right.
	I should have pulled that one.
	That was...
	That guy's like Gordon Gekko.
	That was...
	Let me see.
	Maybe I can...
	Sorkin...
	The Globes speech.
	Let me just see if we have it.
	I thought it was abhorrent.
	I agree, and he did go on to say all these crazy-ass things.
	That was kind of scary, wasn't it?
	Yeah, I thought it was frightening, and I actually meant to clip it, and I don't know whether I probably did and erased it or something.
	Well, if you have a second, here it is, and I can probably scroll to that part, because that was near the end, right?
	Yeah, it was at the end.
	The lives of two women.
	Ah, shit.
	Shit quality.
	Let's see if we can get to...
	Definitely this also on behalf of Ben Messer.
	The social network was a triumph of teamwork, beginning with Amy Patrick.
	Yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Okay, let's fast forward.
	Our producers, Dana Brunetti, Michael, DeLuca, Sion Chapin, and Scott Rudin, who is the best man, was my great friend and, on an honest-to-God national treasure, David Fincher.
	A national treasure, David Fincher.
	...who was able to make scenes of typing and sometimes scenes of just talking about typing.
	It's even further, huh?
	It's really at the end, okay.
	...a visionary and an incredible altruist.
	And I want to thank all the female nominees tonight for helping demonstrate to my young daughter that elite is not a bad word.
	It's an aspirational one.
	Honey, look around.
	Smart girls have more fun, and you're one of them.
	I love you.
	Thank you very, very much.
	I appreciate it.
	You're being elite!
	Wow.
	Pretty outrageous there.
	Yeah, nobody called him out on it, of course.
	Nobody cares.
	So what's his first name?
	It's not Andrew.
	It's what?
	Aaron.
	Aaron, right.
	Aaron Andrew.
	Yeah, they probably are related.
	Why not?
	This part of the military-industrial media complex.
	Well, he's on board with the whole Goldman Sachs Facebook IPO. That's why.
	Hey, elites are good.
	Elites are good.
	Dude, I got pre-IPL stock.
	We're going to make out of this Goldman Sachs thing at the behest of the public in general.
	They're going to get screwed as usual.
	Isn't it great to be an elite that we can screw all the little people?
	Yeah!
	Learn from me, children.
	It's good.
	Speaking of elites, the president of the Rabobank, which is a very interesting bank in the Netherlands.
	They start off as kind of a farmer's bank, and each bank is more like a cooperative bank.
	But because they have so many of these smaller banks that they all put under one label, they are actually the biggest bank in the land.
	And he wrote a letter, a public letter, and I'm translating on the fly here.
	He says it's really time that the world economy returns to a standard that is not dependent upon one country.
	Boy, I'm doing this really well, this on the fly.
	He says it should be a little bit like gold under the old gold standard, but it's going to be different.
	Because of the use of gold as a standard...
	It has too many disadvantages.
	It's not for nothing that the world got off the gold standard.
	Yeah, right.
	Go talk to China.
	No one left the gold standard, really.
	It's better to not use the US dollar because...
	You know, there's too much variation.
	It is better to start using the SDR. Oh, dug that one up.
	Yeah, which has been approved by the International Monetary Fund.
	We need to really pump this thing up.
	Who is this idiot again?
	This is, his name is Wim Bonstra.
	He's actually the chief economist.
	Of the Rabobank, and he published this on the 13th of January in the financial newspaper in Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
	I think our economic hitman better take care of this guy.
	Yeah, so the elites are U.S. economic hitman.
	Meanwhile...
	They're backing off a little bit here, but they'll be back in business to take care of this guy.
	Meanwhile, our elites, and this is back to just a little bit of...
	And now, back to Real News.
	You forgot this story last week, and I actually pulled a clip just to satisfy you.
	Last week, rapper 50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson III, or really, who calls him that?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, he was busy sending...
	Yeah, exactly, that's it.
	He was sending out Twitter messages to his 3.8 million followers.
	But instead of talking about rather new music, he was giving stock picking advice.
	Here to talk about what happened and why you should guard against celebrity pitches is Jill Schlesinger, editor-at-large at CBSMoneyWatch.com.
	She's up in New York voice.
	Jill, good morning.
	Good morning.
	Good morning.
	All right, so what happened?
	Alright, this is just such a wild story.
	So, Fitty Seth goes out and he says...
	It's such a wild story, but by the way, I can say Fitty Seth the way you should be saying it.
	Well, we did discuss this last show.
	No, we discussed it after the show when you said, damn it, I wanted to discuss this.
	Oh, is that right?
	Yeah.
	That's the problem with talking not on the show.
	He wants to start talking about a penny stock.
	That's a really, really risky investment in a stock that hasn't really matured yet.
	It was called H&H Imports.
	Sends out this tweet.
	He says, they are no joke.
	Get in now.
	You can double your money right now.
	The one thing he didn't do is he didn't say, hey, I own 12.9% of this stock.
	The stock went up 270% in just hours after he sent those messages.
	So I'm sure you discussed this on Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged.
	That's probably why you're confused.
	Well, I'm confused because I thought I'd discuss it with you.
	No.
	Well, you did, but not on the show.
	Yeah, well, that's the problem.
	And that, by the way, I want to remind people out there why we don't...
	It's why we don't talk to each other.
	We don't.
	We don't talk to each other.
	And we also...
	This is why a lot of people...
	A lot of shows you watch on television are pre...
	You know, they do a pre-interview, and the pre-interviews ruin the show for that reason.
	In fact, from time to time...
	We exhibited it in real time.
	That's right.
	From time to time, I'll call John to ask him for advice about something the other day, and I call him, and he'll answer the phone like, yeah?
	Because he's afraid of, like, I have cancer or something.
	Yeah.
	What's up?
	What's wrong?
	Why are you calling me?
	What's wrong?
	It's like I have some horrible thing happening.
	No, no, man.
	I just want to ask you some advice about something.
	Because I always sit here and I'm like, I should call John because he'll know.
	But I don't want to freak him out by calling him.
	Anyway, so of course, where is Cass Sunstein now when 50 Cent is doing a pump and dump on stock?
	That's outrageous.
	And I have seen no illegal action taken against it.
	None whatsoever.
	That's because he is on the...
	The only reason the guy is allowed to be successful and make money is because he's part of the New World Order regime.
	He's there to control the slaves.
	The guy's name is 50 Cent.
	Hello?
	Does it not tell you enough right there?
	It's in the name.
	Your dollar is going to be worth 50 cents.
	You know, just something you mentioned a few minutes ago, I want to run a clip by you, which is the Weird Names, which this topic came up with me because of the bad acting clip that I have I want to play, but you don't have to play it.
	But I do have a weird name, Yo-Yo Ma you mentioned.
	This one here is a woman who is the, and I was thinking about this, that people should be taking stage names, you know.
	I mean, Jon Stewart's name is like, you know, Ruben Rabinowitz or something.
	Yeah, Rabinowitz.
	Yeah, it is probably.
	It's something like that.
	It's like he's smart enough to take a stage name.
	But some of these other people don't take stage names.
	And I think it creates an awkward environment on a show.
	This is Good Morning America.
	Excuse my voice for crackling.
	Diane Sawyer throwing it to the newsreader.
	And now Diane Sawyer with a preview of tonight's world news.
	Diane?
	And a good morning to you, Juju.
	Juju?
	Yeah.
	That caught me off guard.
	Yeah.
	Juju Bean.
	Hello, Juju.
	Can't you rename yourself Vicky or something?
	It doesn't sound like a slur.
	I mean, it's ridiculous to have a name Juju on network television, personally, I think.
	I mean, maybe I'm old-fashioned.
	What is the...
	The new head of the Republican National Committee, his name is Rens Priebus.
	His name is non-disclosure.
	He's got some crazy name that makes no sense.
	It's Rens Priebus.
	And someone pointed out...
	Rens Priebus?
	This is not a real name.
	It's not.
	This is a comic book name.
	It's not, and I'll tell you why.
	So you spell it R-E-I-N-C-E P-R-I-E-B-U-S. Now, if you take out all the vowels...
	You get R-N-C-P-R-B-S. Thank one of our producers for that observation.
	Yes, I could look it up.
	Isn't that beautiful?
	No, no, it's not important.
	They just need to be thanked.
	Yeah, I got the biggest kick out of that, too.
	And I'm like, you know, the brain parses a lot of things, and it could be a complete New World Order joke.
	We're just like, hey, let's just mess with the slaves.
	I have a good idea.
	Wait, nobody's going to hear it.
	Here's the meeting.
	The meeting will now come to order.
	Nobody's going to believe a guy's got a name like that.
	The meeting will now come to order.
	Hey, let's mess with all the slaves.
	I know what we'll do.
	We'll send a coded message that the RNC public relations is bullcrap.
	I know what we'll do.
	We'll make up a name.
	Yeah.
	This will be funny.
	And watch everyone try to pronounce it.
	No one will remember this guy.
	Reince Priebus.
	A good example of this is also our new Larry King.
	Oh, Pierce Morgan.
	Pierce Morgan spelled P-I-E-R-S as in peers.
	Yeah.
	You know, like, I'm going to be out on Pier 35.
	I'll be on the pier.
	So I have a clip.
	By the way, he's a dick.
	He's a total dick, but he's also the thing that's going to kill this show.
	And I got a clip here to prove it.
	This is him interviewing Condi Rice.
	It's a very short clip, but this shows you the absolute banality of this guy's personality, what he's interested in and what he thinks is interesting to the public.
	It's beyond imagination.
	I do, I do.
	But unbelievably, you didn't get a cold in the eight years that you served in office.
	That's right.
	Nothing, not a sniffle?
	Nothing.
	Well, not a sniffle, but I took very good care of myself.
	How?
	How do you stop getting a cold?
	Well, you exercise, you take care of yourself, and there are some advantages to living alone.
	What are they?
	You don't get cold.
	So you live alone in a sterile home.
	A little bit like that.
	No one's allowed in.
	A little bit like that.
	Yes, right.
	It's fascinating.
	It's not fascinating.
	It's stupid.
	Why are you even talking?
	You've got Condi Rice sitting in front of you and you're talking about catching a cold?
	I had lots of sniffles, yeah.
	The guy's an idiot.
	Yeah.
	Well, he's also, he was a, I think it was the Daily Mail, he was the editor, and he got kicked out, he got fired because he doctored military pictures, trying to show that something else was going on.
	He's a total Ministry of Truth dick.
	He's a dick.
	And the show's going to go nowhere.
	It's just not going to happen.
	It's just not going to happen.
	Americans don't really...
	We like British people when it's Anthony Hopkins.
	We like the Shakespearean actors.
	We don't like smart-ass...
	Even Ricky Gervais has got to watch it.
	And he even made a Heather Mills joke.
	Like, dude, get a clue.
	No one's understanding this humor.
	It's America, dude.
	Heather Mills, that was 2005.
	We don't care.
	It's like, no, no, no.
	So, Piers Morgan, it's not going to work.
	It's just not going to work.
	Other than he's going to be sending whatever messages the Ministry of Truth wants him to send.
	Well, it doesn't make any difference.
	The audience is just going to start to fade.
	In fact, Howard Stern, I think, was his second guess.
	Also, not a good subject.
	If you want a big audience, I don't think Howard Stern is the one you want.
	Well, I would agree with that, but Howard Stern, who also took over the show and made it easy for him, but Stern himself said, you know, it's easy when you book Oprah and some big names at the beginning.
	He says, give this show three weeks, and he actually said the show's going to flop.
	Yeah.
	Well, it is going to flop.
	Yeah.
	All right, so another big distraction of the week, which I'd like to play the jingle for.
	The distraction of the week.
	Hey!
	On no agenda.
	The cold.
	So, of course, our voice does carry a little bit, and after a year, finally, mainstream news is we're starting to catch on about Haiti.
	And, wow, you know, hey, where'd all that money go?
	And, gee, that's kind of weird.
	Like, how come the Red Cross collected all this money?
	They've only spent half of it, yet there's no rubble of removal, only 5%.
	This is, you know, so people are starting to look into it.
	So what do they do?
	They pull out baby Doc Duvalier.
	And it's the big distraction of the week for Haiti.
	Somebody says Clinton flew him in.
	Of course he did!
	This is what I'm saying.
	The baby doc who everyone knows was a renowned drug dealer.
	He was moving coke through the presidential palace.
	So all of a sudden it's like, we need a big distraction.
	The guy shows up.
	Boom!
	It's all over the news.
	Everyone's talking about Baby Doc.
	He's got a great name, Baby Doc.
	You know, the whole thing.
	It's real easy for the stupid media to latch on to.
	He relied on brutal private militia known as the Tonton Smakoutes, which controlled Haiti through violence and intimidation.
	Everyone's jumping on this bandwagon just to distract the attention from the fact that none of the money has actually gotten on the ground, certainly not for non-sexy things such as backhoes and dump trucks to remove the rubble.
	And then if you go to ClintonBushHaiti.org, there they are, our two massive elitist bull crappers with Send Us Your Cash version 2.0.
	Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the former presidents of the United States of Gitmo Nation, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
	When the people of Haiti were hit by the massive earthquake, the people of America and the world came to their aid.
	President Clinton and I have seen firsthand the power of your contributions at work.
	The Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund is on the ground.
	Funding programs that create jobs, teach skills, and assist local businesses.
	Please continue to help us help the people of Haiti so they can rebuild and thrive.
	Thank you.
	We just need cash.
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets and water.
	Just send your cash.
	So Bush says he's seen the money at work.
	What's he talking about?
	Putting the jet fuel in the engine?
	No.
	It doesn't quite work without the video.
	So they're sitting there and then they have B-roll.
	And they have little black Haitians sewing beads.
	And he said, we've seen the money working on the ground there.
	And he's like kids sewing up beads.
	Oh my God.
	It's just unbelievable.
	Sounds like something worth re-editing.
	Yeah, right.
	Meanwhile, Southern Florida developer has big plans for Haitian City.
	And this guy is in bed with this Michael Capone.
	He is a developer from Miami Beach.
	Jacques Mel is a port town with the potential to become a major tourist destination, he says.
	Really?
	Is that north or south?
	I'm sorry, that I don't know.
	Okay.
	Oh, it's in the mountains.
	But it's port, so it would be probably on the west coast, I think.
	I went to Jock Mel and said, you've got to be kidding me, Capone said.
	It has an airport, everything's there.
	All you have to do is renovate this place and teach them how to invite tourism.
	So since I know how to do that, and we have these people, you know, those black people over there that are slaves, I said, you know what, instead of giving fish and rice every day, why don't we invite them over to Jock Mel, give them a hammer, and have them restore them like Mark said it.
	Does this guy sound like Yosemite Sam when he talks?
	Yes, yes.
	I'm doing an exact impersonation.
	Construction is underway this week.
	Haitian workers began laying the groundwork for new restaurants and bars.
	And Caponi said there will eventually be beachfront resorts, hopefully on the anniversary of 2012, while the rest of them people are still living in them tents.
	I think we can stand here at the beginning of the new Jock Mill.
	We can invite all of our friends from around the world with major bands and performances and give these people jobs.
	Major bands.
	You too.
	I'm calling you too and stink.
	Who else will be there?
	Major bands for the performances.
	Oh yeah, there'll be a bunch of these phony balonies showing up.
	And Bon Jovi.
	Bon Jovi.
	He's going to be there.
	I guarantee you Bon Jovi will sing some kind of...
	Oh, and I hope Dennis Leary.
	Dennis Leary is the final clip of the day from his new TV special, The Douchebag Song.
	Remind me to play that.
	So, just disgusting.
	Disgusting.
	There are people still buried in houses because the rubble has not been removed.
	They don't even know who's dead then.
	It's a year.
	Yeah, the people are dead in the rubble.
	They've collected billions of dollars.
	The money has not gone there and people are still buried in rubble.
	It's ridiculous.
	And by the way, on the ClintonBushHaiti.org site, not a single piece of financial information Not a single piece.
	And they're still begging for money.
	I can tell you that the Chief Executive Officer, prior to his leadership at the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, this is Gary Edson, served as Deputy National Security Advisor, Deputy National Economic Advisor, and Deputy Assistant to the President for International Economic Affairs for George W. Bush.
	Hmm, really?
	And the Executive Vice President, Charles Rees...
	He has actually taken a leave of absence from the Rand Corporation to do this important work in Haiti.
	It's just funny!
	Then we have the Vice President of Programs and Investment, who, let's see, what was he?
	He was, prior to that, worked at the International Finance Corporation.
	It just goes on and on.
	Vice President of Marketing is Meg Galloway from the World Wildlife Fund, another fine New World Order front.
	The Treasurer...
	Anita Bhatt.
	Now, the treasurer is the person who runs the money.
	And she, of course, was the CFO and treasurer for the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund.
	We know how well that went.
	These are all really great people who were involved in this foundation.
	And the board members are even more interesting, John.
	The board members.
	Let me see.
	Co-chairman is Ms.
	Laura Graham.
	She's chief operating officer for the Clinton Foundation and is chief of staff to President Clinton.
	Okay, so we've got our shill in there.
	Josh Bolton is the co-chairman as well.
	He was director of the Office of Management and Budget.
	Well, we just talked about that office.
	That's very important.
	Henriette Holzman-Four, a double name, so you know she's an elite, worked for USAID. It's economic hitman.
	Yeah, it's one big joke.
	Yeah, it is a big joke.
	It's pathetic.
	I don't even know why we keep talking about it.
	It's just plain pathetic.
	Because someone has to talk about these poor people.
	Someone has to talk about it.
	I might as well keep reminding people what a scam, this ongoing scam that's been going on for a year.
	More than a year now.
	We've been following it since they first put these celebrities on TV and told you to text your money.
	That was a good one.
	No, they're still doing that.
	At the end of that clip, they're still saying, text your money, $10.
	Text your money, text your money.
	Come on, text your money.
	Text your money.
	We should get on board with that, man.
	We should get our money texted to us.
	We should have our money texted.
	I want text.
	Just text us your cash.
	We'll have to look into that.
	Text us your cash.
	To change topics a bit?
	Sure.
	I have a kind of a funny...
	There was a really good front line.
	They're doing an expose on the millions of intelligence agency kind of outlets or mini-mall outlets that are cropping up all over the country.
	We've talked about this before.
	But I got the biggest kick out of this illegal photography clip Photography is going to be made illegal somehow.
	It's as dangerous as a gun.
	Dangerous as a gun.
	You shouldn't even mention the word gun.
	But play that.
	Local police are being told to look out for suspicious behavior around public facilities.
	Picture taking.
	Map drawing.
	Evasive driving.
	Do you mind if I start this again?
	If you can hold it together.
	Picture taking, map drawing and evasive driving.
	Yes, picture taking is suspicious.
	Local police are being told to look out for suspicious behavior around public facilities.
	Picture taking.
	Map drawing.
	Evasive driving.
	I think any time we have activity and photographs of those sorts of facilities and it comes to our attention, we need to ask the questions why or look at who's taking the pictures to find out something about them.
	But even that simple instruction can get local police in trouble.
	A gentleman who was photographing an Amtrak train was arrested by Amtrak police and handcuffed and detained because they thought this behavior was suspicious.
	It was an Amtrak-sponsored photography contest.
	I mean, you can't write this stuff.
	I love it.
	Hey!
	Hey!
	I caught you driving evasively.
	What did you change lanes for?
	Well, you should hit that person, otherwise you're a terrorist.
	Crazy.
	Wow.
	That's a great clip, John.
	It's pretty funny.
	I mean, it ends up, the whole conclusion is we're spending millions, hundreds of millions of dollars on technologies and all these things, and it's not making anybody any safer.
	It's a waste of the taxpayers' money.
	It's putting everybody on lists.
	It's, you know, and everybody's spying on each other.
	It's ruining the country.
	That's the one thing that's not really being brought up.
	It's changing the culture of the United States to turn Americans against Americans, and that's what we should be resisting.
	And nobody's really looking at it from that perspective, that it's culturally a disaster.
	And long term, it has all kinds of really negative implications.
	Just go look at the beta test.
	Gitmo Nation East, United Kingdom.
	Now the Citizens Network is expanding in Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
	Report on your neighbors.
	It's the Stasi Network that is being implemented of reporting on people.
	Yeah.
	Really, it's not good.
	Let me give you this one first.
	Shadow Puppet Theater.
	You mentioned John Podesta earlier, did you not?
	I did mention, for some unknown reason, threw his name in when I met Mike Pence.
	Well, he has left.
	He's out of the administration.
	Didn't he just leave?
	I don't know.
	Did he?
	Yeah, I think he did.
	He has now joined Jewel Unlimited, Inc.
	Oh, yeah.
	He left.
	I think he was...
	Yeah, he joined Jewel Unlimited.
	Oh, brother.
	Yeah, so he's now going to become… This is a… Joule Unlimited is the most… It actually backs up a lot of the thinking that the process of oil is not fossil fuel but a continuous process, which we've talked about, which is why we can't seem to run out of oil because it's a continuous process.
	Deep in the bowels of the earth, there's fungi and bacteria and whatever creating oil constantly.
	I mean, this is a theory that has a name and we've used it on the show before.
	So these guys have exploited this with a company called Juul.
	By the way, it's one of about four technologies that purport to do what they claim to do.
	Theirs is a proprietary technology they've developed, and it's loaded with so many White House and Washington shills that it just looks like some sort of a money grab, a research, let's give us a lot of money, research money, and it's going to go nowhere, but I don't know.
	I just thought it was interesting that the revolving door continues.
	Nothing ever says.
	Yeah, and let me explain what Juul is to people, what they've supposedly done.
	I consider it a perpetual motion machine, which means it's never going to work.
	It's bullcrap.
	And it reminds me of zero-point energy stuff, which Adam thinks is possible.
	Anyway, the idea is...
	What do you think this whole thing is?
	My whole house is running on it as we speak.
	Well, I think you should eat more yogurt.
	More soy.
	The idea is that they have a bacteria.
	This one's based on E. coli.
	There's two or three other bacteria that apparently can do this.
	Not to the effect that this one can.
	They got this bacteria.
	And by feeding it, the problem is this also has too many memes in it.
	It makes me very suspicious.
	You feed it.
	Carbon dioxide and give it a little sunlight and it cranks out fossil fuel or cranks out oil or diesel.
	Cool.
	And so this gets rid of the CO2 problem, gets rid of our dependence on foreign oil problem.
	It has all these other benefits.
	And it takes about an acre of solar panels or whatever to make this thing give out a couple gallons of whatever stuff.
	Supposedly more efficient per acre than growing sugarcane or corn to make ethanol.
	I mean, that's the math.
	And, you know, it's a possibility, but it sounds fishy to me.
	I would like to...
	We're getting near the end of the show here, and of course I'm nowhere near done with the topics I had.
	The topics, of course, can always be found in the show notes at noagentashow.com.
	A couple of magic numbers for you, John.
	As you know, whenever you see the magic number 33, that is, of course, the evil elites laughing at us with something in the news.
	33 relatives of deposed Tunisian president arrested.
	33.
	33.
	Not 32?
	No, no.
	Not 31?
	No, not 34.
	33 relatives.
	That's a big message right there.
	And, of course, that was a CIA magic color Facebook revolution.
	Yeah, so that's obvious.
	That's just a confirmation.
	That's a confirmation.
	Then we have...
	This is what we do.
	We're looking for these analysis points, and I don't know why they insist on doing this, but just to make sure you know.
	Yeah, it's just pointing it out.
	Community Trust Bank Corp Q4 profits up 33%.
	Always love that one.
	Interesting.
	And then my favorite.
	Customs officials seized cocaine worth $33 million US dollars en route to China.
	I wonder what message that was confirming.
	Well, it should have been heroin.
	You never hear about heroin getting picked up.
	It's always cocaine.
	Apparently nobody uses heroin.
	No one's using heroin.
	Oh, no, not at all.
	Today should be interesting, John.
	We have a blast-off from Vandenberg liftoff base station.
	What time?
	1 p.m., I believe.
	Hold on a second.
	I shall tell you the exact time.
	Because it depends on the direction, but sometimes they fly over the day area.
	Today's first ever launch of a Delta IV heavy booster.
	This, by the way, is a monstrous machine.
	Oh, this is one of the great shows that you'll ever see.
	This is from Vandenberg Air Force Base.
	It's on schedule.
	The Delta is slated to lift off from the complex at 1.08 p.m.
	Following lift off, the rocket will rise vertically for several seconds.
	It will then slowly pitch over and probably...
	Probably.
	Head southward over the ocean.
	What is this rocket doing, is of course what I always ask myself.
	It's just nothing.
	Well, the payload is classified.
	Yeah.
	It's a big rocket, so it's a big payload.
	Well, no, but I can tell you who's paying for it.
	It is NRO, the National Reconnaissance Office.
	Oh.
	So they're sending up the biggest rocket you can imagine.
	And it's the National Reconnaissance Office.
	And let me just go to the homepage for a second, which is very fun.
	And they have a press release.
	National Reconnaissance Office NRO Payload...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	That's 2009.
	Wrong one.
	They are actually in charge.
	They call themselves...
	National Reconnaissance Office, 50 years of vigilance from above.
	Our vision, vigilance from above.
	Our mission, innovative overhead intelligence systems for national security.
	This is a huge spy satellite to take pictures of your butt.
	Actually, it sounds like you have even more than one satellite in that load.
	The NRO designs, builds, and operates the nation's reconnaissance satellites.
	NRO products provided to...
	Well, if it's headed south...
	Well, no, no, listen.
	NRO products provided to an expanding list of customers, like the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Defense, can warn of potential trouble spots around the world, help plan military operations, and monitor the environment.
	Well, you've got to get that in there.
	Well, I'm going to tell you something.
	You're on a hill.
	Oh, I'm going to have a great view.
	Yeah.
	If it's going to be headed south, I would be outside about 108.
	It'll launch.
	It'll probably pass over around about a minute, two minutes after that.
	And if it's going in your direction, it goes across the sky, you'll probably get to see separation, which I've witnessed a couple of times from Vanderbilt.
	I had separation last night.
	I don't necessarily...
	NASA warns solar flares from huge space storm will cause devastation, reports the Telegraph in Gitmo Nation East.
	And Britain could face widespread power blackouts and be left without critical communication signals for long periods of time after the Earth is hit by this once-in-a-generation space storm.
	John, Google space storm movie for me.
	National power grids could overheat.
	Air travel could be severely disrupted, while electronic items, navigation devices, and major satellites could stop working after the sun reaches its maximum power in a few years.
	Senior space agency scientists...
	Oh, there we go.
	High on fire!
	The Earth will be hit with unprecedented levels of magnetic energy from solar flares after the sun wakes from a deep slumber sometime around 2013.
	Space Storm movie 2013 is the Google term.
	Due to humans...
	I love this.
	This year it said human resources.
	Due to humans' heavy reliance on electronic devices which are sensitive to magnetic energy, the storm could leave a multi-billion pound damage bill potentially devastating problems for governments.
	I'm thinking they're expecting an EMP to go off and they're going to call it something else.
	Well, I'm not getting a movie yet, but I'm sure there's a movie involved.
	There's got to be a movie about that.
	It has happened, though, and we have had solar space storms.
	You don't have the kind of outage they described.
	That's never happened.
	No, but it's huge.
	And I just want to give a little tip of the hat there to the people operating HAARP for their earthquake in Pakistan.
	Good job.
	10 meter deep.
	This has all the signatures of HAARP. 7.2 on the something scale.
	Someone actually sent me a clip.
	I should play that on Sunday from, I think, the Science or Discovery Channel that explains the new scale.
	In like a one minute clip.
	Oh yeah, I would like to see that myself.
	Yeah, remind me.
	So we can both forget.
	Remind me to play that clip.
	What we don't really have time for, unfortunately, is George Clooney on Morning Joe.
	Yeah, George Clooney is becoming an embarrassment.
	They're going to have to find somebody better.
	What was really interesting...
	Well, maybe...
	Nah, I mean, it's too long.
	He doesn't seem to be into it.
	I also have a bunch of more Ask Adams.
	Oh.
	Well, you want to do one more before we leave?
	Well, let me think if I got one here.
	Yeah, there's a good one here because it has a very funny ending.
	It's about a minute and a half, I think.
	Okay.
	But it actually gets kind of funny.
	It's a clip of three different Democrats.
	I forget the name of the first guy.
	The second guy is your buddy, the guy that was Jon Stewart's roommate.
	Oh, no.
	Anthony Weiner?
	Anthony Weiner, your pal.
	He's a dick.
	And then John Miller, who's kind of a left-wing nut, and they're bitching about the fact that the Republicans are pushing through this repeal of the health care bill, which seems like a waste of money, but they're all bitching and moaning.
	But the nature of their bitching and moaning is unique, and it requires me to ask you about it after you hear the clip.
	We cannot go backwards.
	No way, no how, not now, not ever.
	I would say to Americans watching at home, think which side you're on.
	If you are in love with insurance companies and want them to succeed and you don't care about anything else, by all means, this is your team.
	He's your guys.
	Has anybody, any family in America, any single mother, any spouse, any child, any grandparent met a more bureaucratic system than the American health insurance system?
	There is no more bureaucratic system.
	When you send in your premium, they tell you you sent it the wrong place.
	When you send in your bill, you send it to the wrong person.
	When you send it to the right person, they say that person's left their job.
	Nobody wants to go back there, ladies and gentlemen.
	Nobody.
	They've been there for 50 years and healthcare costs have gone up faster than any other segment in our economy.
	Faster than anything you can imagine.
	Faster than a speeding rocket.
	Faster than a speeding airplane.
	Faster than Superman.
	Healthcare costs have gone up because of the insurance bureaucracy.
	Gentlemen's times expire.
	What's the question?
	The question is...
	Yes?
	Apparently they believe that what the Republicans are doing is reintroducing the idea that we should get healthcare from insurance companies.
	But what they're saying makes zero sense because they...
	The bill, as Obama passed it, makes people get insurance that they didn't have to get before, which would boost the insurance company, make things worse.
	So I want to understand the logic.
	And secondly, doesn't the government...
	Don't they have agencies and now they can apparently post whatever they want and do whatever they want with their agencies to control the fact that the insurance company is abusing their subscribers?
	So I'm not making sense of this.
	Make sense of it for me, Adam.
	Okay, well, I'm glad you asked me, John.
	Boy, do we need a jingle for this segment.
	I'm glad you asked me because I had some help on understanding this from Stephanie Cutter.
	And Stephanie Cutter is relatively new in the administration.
	She is yet another one of these special advisors to our president, who was chief of staff to Michelle Obama, and she served as Little Timmy Geithner's counselor.
	She was named in 2009 as GQ Magazine, one of the 50 most powerful people in Washington, and she is the assistant to the president for special projects charged with managing the communications and outreach strategy for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. and she is the assistant to the president for special Charged with managing the communications and outreach strategy for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.
	And she took to the whiteboard, John, and she explained exactly how it's going to work.
	And she explained exactly what's happening.
	And I'm going to turn this around and ask you a question.
	Are you ready for it?
	I guess.
	By the way, this woman is a communications expert.
	After she left the previous administration...
	I bet she is.
	Well, you listen to her.
	She is the most horrible, the most horrible communicator I have ever seen.
	Maybe it's because she's hot.
	Maybe she's really communicating.
	She talks into someone's microphone, that's for sure.
	They even had to edit her video and put a voiceover in because she forgot to communicate something.
	But I will ask you a question about what she's communicating.
	Oh, this is the scribbling on the whiteboard.
	Hello, everybody.
	My name is Stephanie Cutter.
	I'm an assistant to the president who's been working as part of a team to help implement the new health care law.
	The health care law was passed roughly 11 months ago and signed into law.
	The president made it clear then that he wanted us to move quickly but carefully to implement the law.
	There's been lots of talk recently about rolling back the Affordable Care Act, repealing it, and going back to the days of skyrocketing premiums and out-of-control costs for businesses.
	So you're with me?
	So far, she's trying to answer your question.
	Yeah, and I'm not hearing you answer, but she's going to answer.
	No, no.
	Well, she's going to answer.
	Today, I want to talk about the role of the Affordable Care Act in reducing premiums for families and strengthening your economy and creating jobs.
	Here we go.
	Today, we're going to focus on two charts.
	The first is a chart that shows the premium cost for a family of four with the law and without it.
	By the way, all the good parts of the chart are blue.
	All the bad parts are red, of course.
	In 2014, when the law is fully implemented, a family of four making $33,000 a year will be paying roughly $1,500 per year in premium.
	Okay, so that's five...
	Yeah, so a family...
	No, no, no, listen.
	It's going to get great because you'll understand it.
	A family of four making $33,000 a year will be paying roughly, and she has to look off camera, $1,500 a year in premiums.
	That's 5% of gross income.
	What are you paying now, John?
	I'm paying like $300 a month for three people.
	Well, I got a bigger family and it's probably more like 900 a month.
	So you're...
	Interesting.
	Okay.
	I must be paying more then.
	I'm making a mistake.
	I'm paying $600.
	There you go.
	I'm paying like $600.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	I'm paying $600.
	And you're paying $900 a month.
	Okay.
	Neither of us are.
	We are luckily making more than $33,000.
	But we're making less than $100,000 on this show for sure.
	And this is all I got right now.
	A family of four making $55,000 a year will pay roughly $5,000 a year in premiums.
	Whoa.
	Okay, so if you make $55,000 a year, you're going to be paying 10% of your gross income in premiums.
	10%.
	A family for making $77,000 per year will pay roughly $8,000.
	Wait a minute.
	That sounds like you're going to be paying 11.5%.
	Well, hold on.
	It's still four people, but you make more money, you're paying more.
	Hold on.
	Let's see the last bit here.
	And finally, a family making about $99,000 per year will pay roughly $9,000 in premiums.
	So, isn't that just a tax?
	It's scaled like a tax.
	Am I getting better care?
	It's like a progressive tax.
	Wait a minute.
	So someone who's making $33,000 pays $1,500 and do they get less care?
	Do we not get the same care?
	I'll be paying eight times as much, seven times as much.
	Do I get the same care?
	I don't understand.
	Well, the logic here is interesting because it seems to me that one of the complaints was, well, you know, the problem the way it is now is that people that don't have coverage, they go in, they get free work, and then we have to pay for it.
	I'm glad you bring that up.
	I'm glad you bring that up.
	Now, if the law were repealed, these same families wouldn't have these savings because at any income level, a family of four in 2014 would be paying more than $11,000 per year in premium costs.
	We're going to be paying less to care for those without insurance.
	And why is that?
	Today, for a family of four, over $1,000 per year is added to premiums to pay for the health care for people without insurance.
	People showing up in emergency rooms, getting the care that they need, but not being able to pay for it.
	Those costs will be significantly reduced because we're bringing all of those people...
	Wait, no, it can't be significant.
	It's only going to be reduced by $1,000.
	Exactly.
	That's not significant.
	That's not significant, not based on this scale.
	Nope.
	So how does that...
	What is it?
	She makes no sense to this woman.
	Well, hold on, because here comes the edit where she completely messed it up.
	...getting them the care they need and not putting the burden on those with insurance.
	Another factor will be new exchanges established in 2014 that will allow millions of Americans to pull together, compare prices, and get the best bargain.
	The second reason...
	I thought that was the funniest thing.
	She forgot to communicate a whole piece of the strategy and so they did a voiceover later with a shot of the blackboard.
	That's funny.
	That's unbelievable.
	This is the communications expert.
	So, it's a tax.
	It's just a tax.
	I get it.
	Okay, I understand.
	So, you're going to be paying...
	You're not getting a $1,000 break.
	You're going to be paying more.
	You're going to be paying more than $11,000.
	It's a tax, right?
	It's a bullcrap tax.
	It's a tax slash fee.
	And you're going to be paying more, I guess.
	Yeah, no.
	Everyone's going to be paying more.
	I think everybody who's actually looked into this knows that.
	I've already set it up to pay more because they've jacked up the prices of prescriptions.
	Yeah, you get a prescription $10 deal, co-pay.
	But if you look at the base price, people should go do this.
	Go look at what you paid for whatever drug you happen to have a prescription for a year ago.
	Because they show the base price on your little thing.
	You pay the $10, but it shows the base price.
	It'd be like $35, $45, let's say.
	You look at the same drug today.
	It's an older drug now.
	It's been in production longer.
	They're cranking it out like there's no tomorrow.
	Look at the base price.
	It's like 70.
	So they're gouging.
	It's the drug companies who wrote the bill.
	They're gouging the insurance companies who are just jacking up their price because they have to.
	And the insurance companies go, well, there's nothing we could do.
	We're just going along because these guys have jacked up the prices.
	Of course, they maintain the same margin.
	Mm-hmm.
	It's a scam.
	Then I'd like to end on a lighter note with an actual note from producer Mark from Merrick, New York on Long Island.
	In the morning, Adam.
	This came to me last night around 3 in the morning.
	That's when all the good things come to you.
	I live in America, New York, Long Island.
	My son, who is two and a half, goes to a pediatrician right in town.
	The cool local celeb thing is that this guy was Lindsay Lohan's pediatric doctor and family doctor until she was about 17.
	The doctor's name is Jeffrey Silverstein.
	And has an office on Merrick Avenue.
	When we first began bringing my son to him, he discussed the normal stuff, gave us lectures about getting all the vaccines, which we spread out over the course of two years.
	But the thing that stood out to me was that he was really pushing a daily fluoride supplement.
	When I asked why, he became defensive and said his kids take the same supplements and he feels strongly about it.
	This is not a dentist, this is a doctor.
	I gave my son the fluoride for a couple of weeks and he loved it, like a slave in training.
	Then after some more research, your show, and common sense, I just threw the bottle away and decided he would be better off without it.
	Long Island does not fluoridate the local water.
	To this day, Dr.
	Silverstein still ribs us about spreading out the vaccines and not giving the fluoride supplements.
	But my son, of course, is super healthy and aside from a stomach bug a few weeks ago, has not been seriously sick.
	This brings me to Lohan.
	Is it possible the fluoride affected her in a negative way?
	I can't imagine that idiot family would care what supplements they gave to their kids.
	Also, I know fluoride isn't supposed to alter the mood so abruptly, but it's an interesting link nonetheless.
	And you know what?
	I think he's right.
	I think he has a real good point here that Lindsay Lohan was over fluoridated as a child and that's why she's completely nuts and a drug addict.
	And let me give you another example of an American human resource on fluoride.
	You ready?
	The third grade world geography question is...
	Budapest is the capital of what European country?
	Budapest is the capital of what European country Nathan has already locked in?
	This might be a stupid question.
	I'm guessing it's probably gonna be.
	I thought Europe was a country.
	Let's see.
	Buddhist.
	Budapest?
	I never even heard of that.
	Alright, here's your options.
	I mean, you could drop out with $10,000.
	Like, I know they speak French there.
	There you go.
	That's right, everybody.
	Floridate your kids, and you two will know that they speak French in Budapest.
	French in Budapest.
	That's such a great show.
	Are you smarter than a third grader?
	I've watched it on and off.
	I find it very annoying.
	Of course it's annoying.
	It's horrendous.
	Well, I got a lot of stuff for Sunday's show that's left over.
	I got tons and tons of stuff.
	Yeah, I want to invite people to become executive producers and members of the 272 Club on Sunday.
	272, it's a palindrome, so it's a special one.
	Yeah, 272, 272, backwards.
	Don't forget our 1111, which is the new monthly you can get in on.
	And help us out, because we don't do it any other way than pure value for value support, which we believe in, which is a model that is working.
	Not that great the past two weeks, but we're very appreciative.
	We're cheaper than a movie, and you get entertained in your car, especially you commuters, which is basically the listenership, is a bunch of people driving around, unfortunately driving around too much, you know, on these ridiculous highways.
	It could be a long commute on a good road, or even a short commute in Los Angeles takes an hour.
	Yep.
	And on Sunday, I will also play the Dutch interview with Julian Assange, who releases way too much information, thinking, yeah, it's just Holland.
	Who gives a crap?
	But we've got it.
	Coming to you from Gitmo Nation West, in the People's Republic of Southern California, in the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the weather is very weird, and of course nobody really cares but me, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back here someday for early morning service on No Agenda.
	This is a song about a bunch of people that we f***ing hate.
	Well, you can't say retard and you can't say All the you can't say retard and you can't say All the peace cream people think those words are bad Who's bad?
	Who's bad?
	We'll be right back.
	So you can't pay retards, you can't pay.
	Who's back?
	If you're texting while you walk and you're texting while you drive, pretty soon you'll be texting from the afterlife.
	Who's back?
	Who's back?
	If there's a hope that the cell is gonna work in hell, do you say?
	Oh, sandals with socks.
	Oh, Caucasian dreadlocks.
	Oh, romance with bad effects.
	What is the weather day that gets set to say?
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, don't blame If we move to Arizona from Mexico, better keep an eye out for a good softball douchebag.
	Douchebag.
	Because their skin can't speak, they think they should don't stick.
	Douchebag.
	We're good to go.
