	It's a new test, brought to you by Nabisco.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, February 13th, 2011.
	Time again for your Gitmo Nation media assassination, episode 278.
	This is no agenda.
	Waiting for the 4G wireless revolution here at the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, 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 fog is in, I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Indeedy in the morning to you, John.
	And in the morning to you, and in the morning to all ships at sea, and, uh...
	Boots on the ground!
	Yeah, well we got the wings in the skies, the foots in the oceans, checks in the mails, bakers in the kitchens, dungs in the pits, astronauts manning the moon and Mars base stations.
	Anybody out there napping for humanity, hams on the air, and human resources throwing shoes and boots everywhere in the morning to y'all, especially those in the chat room at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
	Everyone's charged up and ready to go.
	The way your government loves you, because we need you full of energy.
	Just tap it and suck it.
	So Grummit comes up to me.
	Andrew Grummit from Mevio.
	I think I'm just going to call him Grummit from now on.
	Because it sounds like we could be talking about Wallace and Grummit.
	Okay, Grummit.
	Yeah, Grummit comes up to you.
	Grumet comes up to me and he says, so what's this foots in the water, foots in the foots, what is this foots thing?
	Right, thanks for listening.
	I had to explain it to him.
	Thanks for listening.
	He apparently did remember that we've talked about it.
	Well, noagendafoots.com is where we are the only media outlet tracking the shoes with foots in them, washing up on shores, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.
	And we have a Google Map, and we're tracking that.
	Yeah, we're probably overdue for another foot, I think, probably within the next 30 days or so.
	What do you think?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Overdue for a foot.
	We're overdue for a foot.
	It's time for a foot, I tell you.
	So I was pretty pissed off this weekend.
	This weekend?
	Yeah, this weekend particularly.
	Well, like Friday, Saturday.
	I had to work all day, Friday, Saturday, and even this afternoon.
	I had to take a corporate gig to make up for the lack of donations.
	This afternoon?
	Yeah, after the show.
	You have to go do some work?
	Yeah.
	No, but I'm pissed off because, you know, it's like time I could be spending on the show.
	It's like...
	Yeah, but you can get something out of it at least to help people out.
	What is it you got to do?
	It's a corporate video.
	It's horrible.
	I don't even want to go into it.
	Oh, well, you can't say who it is now.
	No, but I don't want to go into it.
	You know, it's like a corporate video.
	Hey, talking about crappy stuff.
	So that restaurant we went to, Fresca...
	Burned Down?
	No.
	They refused to accept my open table thing saying we never showed up.
	What?
	So then I sent them a note.
	I said, open table.
	Oh, and big investigation.
	So I said, no, we showed up and I gave them the details.
	And then they went back.
	I said, look for a credit card receipt from John C. Dvorak, blah, blah, blah.
	By the way, this, of course, is quite unique.
	Did you hear what he just said?
	Look for a credit card receipt from John C. Dvorak.
	I don't like it to be known that I'd ever buy anything.
	So anyway, they come back and said, no.
	What?
	They came back and said, no, you're going to have to send us a receipt.
	Open table said that?
	Well, you were trying to get the open table points, clearly.
	Yeah, yeah, I get the points.
	And so I figured, now I'm up because these guys wouldn't even go through the trouble at this crappy restaurant, which I'm now saying is crappy because...
	Yeah.
	Sucks now.
	Yeah.
	So I had to go digging around.
	I found the receipt.
	I faxed it to him.
	I can't believe you found the receipt.
	That's amazing.
	That's amazing.
	Yes, it is.
	So I found the receipt and I scanned it in and sent it by attachment.
	And then they finally, after the investigation was over, gave me my points.
	Wow.
	And soon you'll get lots of credit card charges from Nigeria.
	That's a possibility.
	But whatever the case is, I was very disappointed in the restaurant.
	They couldn't even click us off the box and then they made a story up.
	I think they're just...
	I don't know.
	That's unconscionable, I tell you.
	It is.
	It's unconscionable.
	Hey, there was a classic one-two punch which took place while everybody was looking at the revolution.
	The revolution.
	And that's what they're calling it.
	Revolution in Egypt.
	Sorry?
	Oh, the revolution.
	The revolution is a bunch of people standing around.
	Eating zuflaki.
	Falafel.
	Falafels.
	Yeah, there was a one-two punch, which I don't think a lot of people caught.
	And I wouldn't have known either if I hadn't gone to my favorite website, which I visit once a week, at least, whitehouse.gov.
	Oh, yeah.
	I always want to see what the president is doing, what he's saying, you know.
	I love the fact that you keep going there.
	Well, I religiously watch the West Wing Week.
	Which is their little reality show that they put together.
	I'm glad you do.
	It's rarely worth showing, but it's very entertaining as an entire piece.
	They could put it on the Bravo Network, for sure, if they lengthen it up a bit.
	They should.
	So, a couple of things happened, and it didn't really hit me until I saw the White House whiteboard, which has a new video.
	And I think I'll do them out of sequence.
	I'll play for you Austin Goolsbee.
	Now, Austin Goolsbee, who is the head of the President's Economic Advisory Board.
	Now, Austin, he was brought in because of his prowess in debate and speech and presentation.
	Was he on a game show?
	That he won some game show?
	Yeah, it's a possibility.
	All I know is he sounds so much like that football coach that it's hard to not visualize John Gruden as I listen to this guy talk.
	Apparently this was one of the president's campaign promises, although I don't really remember it, was to bring in high-speed interwebs to everybody.
	Now, a couple of weeks ago, and there wasn't all that much to cover, so I think we touched on it briefly, the FCC came out with their, let's just call it their net neutrality ruling.
	And what a lot of people noticed is, yeah, there's all kinds of stuff, rules, how are we going to do it?
	But none of that really applies to wireless, because wireless was kind of all on its own, and the wireless networks, well, they have to be able to manage their...
	They're networks, so they should be able to shape traffic and deny traffic.
	You know, the wireless is something over here.
	Don't look at that.
	Please just, you know, don't look at that.
	Don't look over here.
	Nothing to see here.
	Ooh, look at that.
	Right, look at your cable.
	Look at ADSL. Don't look at the wireless.
	And then Austin comes out.
	Austin Goolsbee, everybody.
	With his little Austin Goolsbee whiteboard show, and he lays into the vision for the future.
	Please pay attention to Austin Goolsbee.
	Hi, I'm Austin Goolsbee, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors.
	And today I wanted to talk to you about the President's Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative, which he just outlined in Northern Michigan.
	Now, of course he does that in Northern Michigan so that no one pays attention to it.
	Did you follow this, John, being in the milieu?
	Northern Michigan?
	Have you ever been to Northern Michigan?
	It's cold there, isn't it?
	You might as well be in Alaska, in Juneau.
	So that's a great place to announce something you don't want people to pay attention to.
	No one's going to go up there.
	Are you aware of the president?
	It's beautiful, by the way.
	It's beautiful.
	They also grow a lot of tart cherries in that area.
	I'm sure they do.
	Are you aware of the president's broadband initiative?
	No, I never heard of it until this very minute.
	Okay, well it was one of his campaign promises.
	Austin will explain it.
	I think he's making up these campaign promises so he can get a better hit ratio.
	Check it out.
	This initiative would move the United States to the forefront of a high-speed wireless network throughout the entire country.
	And it really tries to prepare us so that our businesses can lead in this area and create jobs in this area going forward.
	Now, okay, so...
	Going forward?
	Yes, we're in the future.
	So, this is starting to...
	It's making sense so far.
	Yeah, we need to...
	No, it's made no sense at all.
	He hasn't said anything.
	He said going forward.
	Much the way we did with the internet.
	Hey.
	Hey.
	We?
	Yeah, we.
	Him and Al Gore.
	Austin and Al sitting in a tree.
	If you look at the top five companies in the world...
	Can you name them?
	The top five companies?
	The top five companies in the world?
	He actually says companies.
	I think he means internet companies.
	Well, he said companies.
	He didn't say internet companies.
	Well, listen.
	In the internet space.
	That's what I mean.
	The internet space.
	Space?
	The internet space.
	The internet space.
	Can you name them?
	What are the top five?
	I'll say Google, Facebook, Twitter.
	Well, you already heard this, so you know.
	Well, I think he's wrong.
	Well, I think the top five companies in the internet space would be Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, and then if you want to count Comcast, I would put them in there and AT&T. How about Baidu?
	What about Baidu?
	There's no Chinese companies that are in the top?
	Baidu might be in there.
	It's irrelevant.
	All five of them are American.
	Just so you know.
	And over just the last 10 years, they've had dramatic job creation.
	Employment at those companies has gone up 588%.
	Holy crap.
	Austin counted everybody.
	588, not 589 or 587.
	Not almost 600 or over 500.
	No, 588%.
	He's writing this on the whiteboard, by the way.
	Yeah, it's beautiful work.
	The internet sector now employs more than one million people.
	And more than just the internet sector...
	What does that even mean?
	What does that mean?
	What do you mean the internet sector employs one million people?
	Does that include us?
	We're broadcasting this on the internet.
	I'm not employed.
	Are you employed?
	Well, I mean, no, but the internet sector might...
	I mean, you could say that we're being employed by the internet sector.
	No, I understand.
	I also would take that to be sysadmins.
	Does that change to 5.88 if it counts us?
	Then it's 5.87 if we're actually included.
	We bring the average down.
	But he means something else.
	Listen.
	Businesses across the board have been using the internet to sell their products everywhere in the world.
	Now, many people believe that the next round of the internet revolution is going to be on wireless.
	Many people believe this.
	Many, many people.
	John C. Dvorak, do you believe this?
	I think it's already on wireless, isn't it?
	No, the next round of internet revolution will be wireless.
	What's going to change?
	There's lots to change.
	Stand by.
	You've already seen the beginnings of that.
	There have, by 2010, been more than 12 billion applications downloaded for mobile phones.
	So he has this 12 billion number he has in a square with rounded corners looking like an app.
	I swear to God.
	So it's like 12 billion applications.
	He means apps.
	12 billion apps.
	Now he goes crazy.
	There are 80,000 businesses selling mobile phone applications.
	I understand there are even two kid millionaires in Finland selling games about angry birds.
	Well, at least he's got a sense of humor.
	I think he actually doesn't know Angry Birds.
	You think?
	I think actually someone said, this is Angry Birds.
	Somebody just gave that to him as a clunker?
	First of all, it's not two kids.
	It's a real company.
	Rovio is a full-blown company now.
	Represented by CAA. They've got an agent and everything.
	They're doing a movie.
	Two kid millionaires in Finland.
	We'll be the only two millionaires after the Microsoft deal with Nokia.
	So he continues.
	If we are going to win the future, we need to dominate this space.
	Hell yeah!
	We can't have them fins building angry birds.
	That's no good!
	We've got to do the bird stuff over here!
	But the fact is, our infrastructure is falling behind.
	Boo!
	If you look at the share of people in a country that have a high-speed 3G wireless connection, the United States isn't even in the top five.
	And that's why the President's Wireless Initiative is going to leapfrog 3G. By the way, this is now the Wireless Initiative.
	I think his campaign promise may have been broadband for everybody.
	Now it's wireless.
	So we're going to leapfrog.
	Listen, here's where it gets interesting.
	...and roll out the fourth generation wireless technology and let us lead the world in that.
	So this is what really bothers me.
	So what is 4G wireless?
	Well, I actually have written two or three columns on the topic saying that it's bogus.
	It's a marketing term.
	Yeah, it's a marketing term.
	And they keep redefining it because the real 4G doesn't exist.
	I mean, it does exist on paper, but it's like so ridiculous that the 3G that was originally on paper is not even close to what it was.
	It's like a thousand times more powerful than what they're delivering.
	Yeah.
	And I think, what is it, LTE? That's supposed to be the 4G? That'll be the 4G, I suppose.
	But Austin Coolsby is now essentially saying, 4G is it?
	I guess like Verizon and who else is Sprint?
	They're like, hey, yeah, we got 4G. Who are the five companies that he's ever named them?
	No.
	No.
	No, he's not crazy.
	But here comes that giant sucking sound you hear is the resources being sucked away from you into the giant telco companies, which, of course, are now going to have the complete lock on the internets.
	This is what Internet 2 is going to be.
	Welcome to it, everybody.
	Here he comes.
	The plan includes three parts.
	The first is the government will make available a big chunk of airwave spectrum.
	I love the way.
	I love the way a big chunk like we're getting a chocolate cake.
	I can't get you exactly like, would your kids like a slice of cake?
	A big chunk of airwave spectrum.
	Mmm, that sounds tasty, doesn't it?
	500 megahertz that will serve as the backbone of a new business platform.
	Isn't that the 500 megahertz that just took away from us when they forced us to go digital?
	Isn't that what they just took away?
	Now they're selling it back?
	Yeah, I'll look at my spectrum chart and see, but it's 500 megahertz.
	That's interesting.
	Well, we have a down payment.
	You can't put a lot of data on there, but you can penetrate walls very nicely.
	Right.
	We'll auction this spectrum off, so it will actually also reduce the deficit by billions of dollars.
	There's price setting.
	There we go.
	Price setting.
	So who's going to buy it, though?
	That's what's going to be interesting.
	Of course, we know who's going to buy it.
	Uh, we do?
	Google?
	No, the same guys that buy all this shit crap.
	No, I wouldn't be so sure.
	Oh, okay, well, go on.
	Remember, they were in the running earlier, and maybe they said, hey, guys, don't go for this crappy spectrum.
	Hold on, we'll be giving you a big chunk later on.
	Favorable terms, watch.
	Second, it includes major investment incentives.
	Ooh!
	John, start writing for the grant.
	Investment incentives.
	Yeah, we need an investment incentive.
	App makers, beware.
	To encourage the private sector to build out the network on its own.
	You've already started seeing that in many cities of the country, and those investment incentives are in place.
	Have you seen it?
	No.
	No.
	I mean, but shut up, slave.
	You've already seen it.
	And then third...
	Third.
	The Wireless Innovation Fund.
	Oh, there we go.
	That's the money.
	Yay!
	All right.
	Here we go.
	We're going to pick up some cash here.
	In which we will have some seed monies.
	I love the way he says that.
	Seed monies.
	Seed monies.
	What kind of...
	Isn't it seed money?
	Seed monies.
	He says seed monies.
	It's not just one money.
	It's seed monies.
	Incentives.
	To encourage the private sector to build out the network on its own.
	You've already started seeing that in many cities of the country, and those investment incentives are in place.
	And then third, the Wireless Innovation Fund, in which we will have some seed monies to fund some of our brightest scientists.
	It's not for us.
	I guess not.
	It's only for scientists.
	Who will find better ways to make it faster, more secure, and a better business platform going forward.
	Faster, more secure, and a better business platform going forward.
	Going forward.
	Going forward.
	And so we can have all kinds of back doors to track everybody and shut you down.
	So what's the point of this?
	The point of me playing or the point of this?
	Both.
	Both.
	The point of you playing it and this and it's, in fact, what is it?
	What's it talking about?
	Well, so, this is Internet 2, and I think the one, two parts...
	Internet 2, that's bullcrap, because Internet 2 actually does exist as a separate Internet that's running under the academic system.
	If they're calling this Internet 2, then they've stolen the, something's wrong.
	They may co-op that.
	What I'm saying is it's a two-punch.
	First, we had the FCC with their net neutrality and all their regulations, which did not apply to wireless.
	Remember that?
	Did you read anything about that?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Net neutrality doesn't apply to wireless.
	Now, hey, you're all getting your internets wireless.
	Do you see the connection now that I'm making?
	Well, yeah, I can...
	You know, let me...
	Don't tell me that's a stretch.
	It's obvious.
	No, it's not a stretch, but at the same time, I don't see...
	Actually, I think...
	Here's why I don't think the connection's valid.
	Because they can steal the...
	You know, what you're saying...
	I think what you're saying...
	Tell me I'm wrong.
	You're wrong.
	I think what you're saying...
	You know, I could have predicted that.
	Okay.
	What am I saying?
	I think you're saying is that they're going to say, well, you know, this wired thing is like, we can't really spy easily enough.
	We can't, you know, we can't really own it.
	Control.
	Just call it control.
	We can't control it.
	There you go.
	That's what you're saying.
	Right.
	Too bad I can't say what you're saying.
	We can't control it as much as we can this wireless thing, because we can pick it off the air, we can do all these things.
	And I'm saying that...
	No, that's not what I'm saying.
	That's not what I'm saying.
	We need to control the internet, so let's move the entire country towards internet through wireless, which we've already set up to have no regulation or at least control in our favor.
	Yeah, but they can do that with the wired if they wanted to.
	Yeah, but they're not promoting wired.
	They're promoting wireless.
	Everyone's going to want to have wireless internet.
	We already have wireless internet.
	It's called Wi-Fi, so we're going to be, oh, now I just get it wireless everywhere.
	It's obvious people will want that.
	I don't.
	Yeah, you don't leave the house.
	Well...
	There is a piece of America in between the East and the West Coast that's still on dial-up.
	You know, they have no internets.
	So they don't have real broadband, just because we are elitist and live on the West Coast.
	Well, there's something fishy about this whole thing.
	I think it's pretty obvious.
	And then it's Vodafone, and then they can shut it down.
	Anyway, let's just have Austin wrap it up in the last 20 seconds.
	...history, whether the transcontinental railroad, the electrification of the nation, the building of the interstate highway system.
	America has always used the building of our infrastructure networks to take our economy forward and to build out American industry.
	The wireless initiative is going to bring that to the 21st century.
	It's going to take it to the next level, because that's the American way.
	Hey!
	He gets an in the morning for that.
	It's the American way, Austin.
	The American way.
	So it's our new infrastructure.
	It's like the roads.
	It's what he's saying.
	Yeah, the roads are put together so the truckers could use them so we could screw the railroads.
	It's always one side against the other.
	All these infrastructure moves, except for the rural electrification, which I'm sure there's some angle there, too.
	It's always to take one group and favor them over another group.
	He didn't say rural.
	He just said electrifying the nation.
	I laughed at that.
	I'm like, yeah, you're tasing me, bro.
	Electrify the nation.
	That's what he's referring to, or you are.
	So, anyway...
	Well, I'm sorry you don't see it the way I do.
	I don't see it the way you do.
	I mean, I think that...
	I don't know.
	I'm not buying.
	I mean, I understand that everyone's going to be on phones on the internet constantly.
	It's not just phones.
	It's wireless.
	It's not phones.
	Dude, get a grip and come to reality.
	People want their internet wireless.
	Tablets, iPads, laptops.
	And if there's an offering that wherever you go, it just works, you'll never ever get a wired connection again.
	You're not going to deal with a cable company.
	It's so obvious.
	Oh, they're out to screw Comcast.
	Well, that too.
	I'm against it.
	Well, of course you should be against it.
	Of course you should.
	Because they set it up so that there's no rules and regulations for wireless.
	They're not saying we're building out broadband infrastructure like the real campaign promise was.
	No, it's only the wireless for which we have set no rules, except all in our favor.
	Alright, maybe I'm just a conspiracy theorist.
	I think you're a little conspiracy theory oriented.
	I mean, I'm not arguing your basic premise, but at the same time, I'm not...
	It's like easier.
	The wire's already here.
	Oh, John.
	Anyway, okay.
	We'll discuss this in a future show.
	We'll agree to disagree.
	Yeah, write it down in the prediction book.
	Adam says, we're getting screwed.
	Forget it.
	See if I'm right.
	We're getting screwed?
	Well, let me write that down.
	That's never happened.
	Do we have any producers?
	Yeah, we've got some executive producers.
	Let's get them out of the way.
	Well, don't just talk down to them.
	No, I'm going to get them out of the way.
	Let's celebrate them.
	We had a bad day.
	We had a bad week because the site was down and people weren't...
	And I still believe, and I think we should talk about this, I think the Egypt news was so boring that nobody wanted to listen to the show.
	I don't know if it was as boring as that last thing you just did.
	Oh, jeez!
	Oh, my God!
	But it was so boring.
	You know, I realize that nobody in the United States or most of the world cares about Egypt.
	Well, you know what they did?
	They wrapped it.
	Here's what happened.
	Like, hey, um, hi.
	Yeah, yeah, this is, uh, I'm over at CBS television.
	Um, yeah, we've got the Grammys on Sunday.
	Could you wrap the Egypt thing up a little bit for us?
	Could you just move that along?
	Like, just have something happen here?
	Oh, okay.
	Hosni!
	Hosni!
	Hey, man, go to the, take a vacation.
	They had to wrap it up.
	You're right.
	The sorry thing about it is that on the first day, we had outlined exactly what was going to happen.
	You had that great Kissinger clip, which pretty much said it all.
	This is the first act in a play.
	And that was the end of it.
	And so it became, I think it was just a boring, quote unquote, revolution, which is not even that.
	Because the military just took over.
	And we saw a briefing, the both of us, that said, when the thing first started, said, no, the military is just going to take over because they actually work for our military.
	Do you get the idea that the way Egypt has been positioned is like this evil, oppressive dictatorship.
	You know, Egypt is like people vacation in Egypt.
	It's the main thing they do there.
	Yeah, it's like we look at the pyramids built by slaves.
	We look at the Parthenon.
	We hang out.
	There's beaches.
	It's nice.
	You almost said Parthenon.
	I know.
	That's not Egypt.
	But I was singing the song.
	Yeah, it's like, okay.
	I mean, no worse than Jamaica.
	Yeah, that's for sure.
	Yeah, it's like the same thing.
	You know, it's a cool place to vacation.
	Yeah, the people are suppressed.
	So what?
	It's Egypt.
	We can go hang out there.
	So let's thank...
	Anyway, I believe that was a problem.
	And by the way, this Grammy thing is ridiculous.
	I want to talk about that for a minute.
	Kelly Spongberg, Black Knight Kelly, as a matter of fact, from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Canada, has added to his collection.
	He's completed...
	Sir, Black Knight, Sir Kelly, is complete his knighthood for Dallas Spongberg and asking for a birthday shout-out for his 15th birthday, February 14th.
	Wow, we have a junior knight.
	That's a good one.
	Or just a knight light.
	I don't want to call him junior because he's a full-fledged knight.
	Cool.
	Alright, so we'll do both of those later in the show.
	I think he's aggressive to name your kid Dallas.
	Yeah, it's like naming your kid Dagny.
	Dagny?
	Michael Miller, Tiburon, California.
	Did anyone in the chat room get my joke?
	I didn't.
	You didn't?
	No.
	Okay.
	$278 for the $278 Club, the 278 Club, because this is show 278.
	213 for February 13th.
	Birthday shout-out to Catherine and another 65 for Karma for the good slaves and show number.
	Do we have the Catherine shout-out there on the list of birthdays?
	Yes, we do.
	We'll do that later.
	That's a good thing.
	Russell Keller, Glendale, California, 278.
	Another 278 club member.
	There's two, and that's now closed.
	Love the show.
	Keep up the great work.
	You guys keep me sane in this brave new world slash 1984 control grid without the Somas Prozac.
	And that's what we do.
	That's right.
	And that's it?
	Michael Hall also is an associate executive producer from...
	Pawnal, Maine.
	And we have a letter from him.
	Which I'll read at the break.
	Okay.
	And we very much appreciate the support from Sir Kelly and, of course, pushing Dallas up to knighthood.
	And nice to see 278 club members, Michael Miller, Russell Keller.
	The club is now closed.
	No one else can ever put that in their credits.
	It'll now have to be the 279 club, which you can start going after now.
	Coming soon.
	Yes, a couple of quick PR mentions.
	Actually, I don't know if this is a good thing anymore.
	Because you said, hey, if you've got a domain laying around, point it to noagendashow.com.
	Of course, everyone's got domain names laying around.
	Yeah, we do.
	Everybody, I have too.
	I mean, it's like ridiculous how many, they're just stagnant names.
	But I was reading a Google interview in the New York Times where this could be seen as like fraud to get our...
	Of course, we own the term no agenda.
	Fraud is a legal term, but defrauding who?
	I'm just saying that it's Google juice magic.
	They could say, hey, what's all these domains pointing?
	They're link farming!
	Let's cut them down!
	You can watch because it's very dangerous.
	Anyway, I want to thank Stephen Nowicki for pointing ProjectGrouper.com to NoAgendaShow.com.
	Thank Andrew Cox from Gitmo Nation Huskers for pointing DigitalVaudeville.com to NoAgendaShow.
	ImperialProclamations.us, Sean Reiser pointed that.
	AngryCulture.com, which I kind of liked.
	John Henry.
	Thank you so much.
	Christopher Mader had a pretty original one, which is pointing to NoAgendaShow.com.
	JustTakeYourMedicine.com.
	I like that.
	WhoDiss.me is forwarded courtesy of Mark Rudolph.
	WhoDiss.me.
	WhoDiss.me, brother!
	And John Tucker, I think he went out and registered a couple of really good ones, which these could be standalone sites.
	We don't even have to point to NoAgendaShow.com, and I think he will actually build these out.
	RatYourBuddyOut.com.
	That's a good one.
	It is, yeah.
	And denunciationnotice.com, which is also...
	I like the denunciation notice.
	That's a good one, too.
	That's very, very good.
	We should actually...
	We should help him on that, because I think those sites need to go live.
	Those are great.
	That's what I said.
	They could be actual sites, denunciationnotice.com.
	Well, you know, you might be right.
	It could cause a problem.
	Some are Google...
	You know, these Google guys are all robots anyway, so somebody just clicks and switches.
	The next thing you know, our notice.
	We don't get any links anyway, but we do get, if you type in no agenda...
	Yeah, we own it.
	We own it.
	I mean, the whole page is hard.
	We own the whole page, yeah.
	So if that starts to change, then we're going to have to rethink this policy.
	Then Scott Carter has forwarded the following domains, freeworlddomination.com, nowioownyou.com, worlddominators.com, basicdigitalfotos.com, easywebtemplates.com, which I bet you gets a lot of Google juice.
	You know, someone's like, I need a web.
	Easy web templates have got to be something.
	We have to do something with that, or he does.
	No, no, it's like people are like, I need a web template.
	Hey, what's this new agenda issue?
	I think I will listen.
	I'm not interested in a web template anymore.
	I'm more interested in not being a slave.
	Or how about photocamerastore.com.
	I want a camera.
	Oh, what's this?
	Or even better.
	Well, it's a stretch that we're going to get any new listeners, but it's a funny idea.
	Stockonlinephotos.com.
	I can just see the human resources.
	Like, I need some stock photos quickly.
	Hey, this looks great.
	What is this show all about?
	I think I should listen.
	Alright, I'm just kidding.
	We really appreciate it.
	And of course, again, to executive producer Sir Kelly Spongberg will be knighting Dallas Spongberg later on in the show.
	Associate executive producer Michael Hall and also associate executive producers and exclusive 278 Club members Michael Miller, Russell Keller.
	Thank you all very much.
	Everyone else out there, please go out and continue to propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	World.
	Order.
	Stay in my pride, everybody.
	Shut up, slave.
	All right.
	A couple of things I wanted to clear up before we got into the meat of today.
	Show whatever it is.
	What?
	Austin Goolsbee wasn't the meat?
	Definitely the meat.
	Yeah, for sure.
	So, last Sunday was the Super Bowl, and I forgot to admit, there's something going on which bothers me.
	I just want to get it out of the way.
	It's a pet peeve, kind of.
	Which is, in sporting events, somehow sporting events has now become patriotic.
	Oh, I knew you were going to say this.
	I knew it.
	I'll just interrupt you for a second.
	Before I left...
	It was like the first 15 minutes of the televised cast because I was flying up north.
	There was the military on the field.
	It was like, the drill team comes out.
	And I turned to Mickey and I said, John's going to bitch about this.
	So, here's the deal.
	It doesn't bother me because this became a tradition to do the national anthem at the beginning of a sporting event.
	So, you go to a baseball game, they play the national anthem.
	This is something that came, I think, started in the 50s or 60s.
	It never used to be a thing in the 30s, I can assure you.
	But now, they've gone and they've taken it to a new level.
	Now they're playing, and this is happening more and more, and it's becoming disturbing.
	They're playing America the Beautiful.
	They bring a singer out.
	She sings America the Beautiful.
	We all have to stand, and people have got their hands on their heart, and they're saluting, and they're watching the flag.
	And so then she finishes, and then the next person comes out, and they sing the national anthem.
	And I have to have two.
	I think there's two things going on.
	One, besides the militarization of sporting events, Which is ridiculous.
	And by the way, the Super Bowl got taken to an extreme weirdness.
	They actually read the entire Declaration of Independence as a pregame thing.
	What's it got to do with anything?
	I don't know.
	And then they had a clip of Powell, Secretary Powell.
	Going on and on with a whole bunch of other guys talking about how great this country is.
	I want to watch a football game.
	Anyway, what I think might be going on with this America the Beautiful thing, I think because of some of the wordage and some of the other things in the national anthem, I think there's a movement afoot to pull the national anthem and drop this in as our new national anthem.
	You watch.
	Within the next couple of years, there's going to be this, well, I think the national anthem should be changed.
	It's something less violent.
	Wow.
	Well, let me respond to that.
	So, first of all, I actually did have tears in my eyes at the end of the National Anthem when the Jets came over.
	I always love that.
	It's like, oh, wow.
	I did at the Super Bowl when the Jets flew over a closed dome.
	Well, they had the shot outside, as you noticed.
	Um...
	So, I think there's two things.
	First of all, America the Beautiful was sung by the girl from Glee.
	And so that was an obvious promotion for the show, Glee.
	Like it needs any.
	The whole thing was on Fox.
	That's a coincidence.
	Do you think?
	I think not.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	I also believe that a large portion, a large percentage of America actually thought that was the national anthem that was being sung.
	Unfortunately.
	Because, you know, people were like standing up and Mickey's like, is this the national anthem?
	And I said, no, no, no, this is America the Beautiful.
	But it's brought with such grandeur and etc.
	And it's an easier song to remember.
	Yeah.
	A case in point.
	And nobody knows what a rampart is.
	What's a rampart?
	The rampart, is that not the wall of the fort?
	I don't know.
	I think it is.
	Nobody knows.
	Well, I know the story.
	I read the story about the...
	Well, you know the other thing about the National Anthem, not to interrupt you, it's a British drinking song.
	That's what it's based on.
	It's God Save the Queen, isn't it?
	No, no, it's something else.
	I've heard it a couple of times, but if you look it up, you can look it up on Wikipedia, you'll find there's a British drinking song.
	It's a bar tune that was turned into the national anthem by a bunch of drunks, and I think that information will become very popular.
	Really?
	The way I heard the story was different.
	I didn't hear a bunch of drunks.
	Well, anyway.
	Well, maybe it wasn't drunks.
	Well, then, of course, Christina Aguilera actually flubs the lyrics.
	Yeah, she drops the word ramparts and makes something up.
	By the ramparts, red glow.
	No one knows the words.
	It's like America the Beautiful is easy.
	I'm telling you, they're going to pull the national anthem and drop in this America the Beautiful thing.
	And it's going to be a process.
	It started about a year ago.
	I started noticing this.
	And it's just obvious.
	The song originally was Whiskey in the Jar by Thin Lizzy.
	Yeah, Whiskey in the Jar.
	That was the original song.
	It's a humiliation.
	Do you want to play the Powell clip, since you were talking about it?
	Yeah, so they do all this crap, and then Powell comes on with all this kind of feel-good patriotism stuff that I just found.
	You know, I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but I'm watching a football game here, people.
	The King of Great Britain dictated the establishment of an absolute tyranny over the 13 colonies.
	Our fate under his rule was evident.
	Therefore, our nation's architects found declaring independence.
	Stop a second.
	Stop a second.
	Nation's architects.
	You know, it's a tyrannical guy, this George III. He's actually an idiot.
	And our fate was evident under this character.
	You know, just remember that American history, the reason for the taxation without representation and all the rest of it...
	And the irony of the whole revolution was George III actually looked at the tax, you know, they know there's people complaining about taxes in the colonies, and he lowered the taxes.
	He actually lowered the taxes.
	He didn't raise the taxes.
	He lowered them, but...
	policy and so they would actually enforce the new lower taxes apparently we weren't paying any of the taxes we were scofflaws about the whole thing and so when they had forced us to pay the lower taxes which we weren't paying any taxes but now we had to pay the lower taxes we got upset about it and george the third was completely beside him so what is wrong with these people i lower the taxes and now they're going to have a revolution anyway that's the tyranny where you that Oh, okay.
	That was the tyranny.
	All right.
	Their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
	Freedom is common sense.
	It is our constant, steadfast message.
	Freedom is common sense?
	How is freedom common sense?
	I'm telling you, this thing is annoying to watch this kind of stuff.
	Can we all agree that with 111 million viewers, most of them inebriated, hammered, that this is the perfect opportunity to mind control them?
	Don't you understand?
	This is like the wireless thing you don't understand.
	It's the biggest telescreen event, to use an Orwellian term.
	Everyone's hammered.
	The subconscious is wide open for messaging.
	You get military jets.
	You get the beautiful cords in the background.
	And then you get this indoctrination.
	It's like, duh!
	What do you expect, Dvorak?
	This is how mass mind control works.
	Let's enjoy some more.
	A message to the world.
	A belief that has inspired us to greatness and shaped our destiny.
	In America, our home, we are free.
	Hey honey, go get me some guacamole.
	This is really good.
	We're free.
	Give me some dip.
	We are equal.
	We are united.
	Yes.
	We are broke.
	In America, I am home.
	I'm home because I got no job!
	We are...
	Wow!
	Wow!
	Did you hear that?
	Do it again.
	That was awesome.
	They had like a...
	We!
	All these guys are like famous athletes or personalities and are standing in front of a bunch of military people who are chiming in.
	Oh my God.
	I just want to roll that back just a second or two.
	My God, that's great.
	They all do...
	We!
	Wow.
	This is mind control.
	This is mind control.
	Listen...
	We are home.
	And we will cherish and defend our home sweet home.
	We are grateful for a land so fair.
	Our excellence is not an exception.
	It is a prevailing attitude.
	There's weapons of mass destruction.
	Look, I got a vial right here.
	We are a nation determined to realize dreams.
	Independence.
	It is ours.
	Just as sure as our title is, Americans.
	This is where I roll out...
	Well, I'm trying to keep the show clean.
	Anyway...
	Mind control.
	There's a little bit of interesting propaganda in the original part.
	A little bit?
	Please.
	This is like when he does this excellence thing, because there's this excellence thing.
	The excellence.
	Anyway, I'll deconstruct this about that.
	But do you understand why this is being done at this moment?
	I mean, everyone's drunk.
	It's like perfect time.
	Your argument is valid.
	I find it personally, as a fan of the game, That I have to endure this.
	Yeah, okay.
	It's an eye roller when you watch it, and it's like, why are you doing this to me?
	Well, for the same reason that we destabilize everyone twice a year by changing the clocks, which Russia now has denounced.
	They're no longer...
	They're denounced.
	Did you read this?
	They're no longer going to do that.
	No more time changes.
	Russia is on summertime for the rest of all mankind.
	Yep.
	I think we should go on just all summertime.
	Well, of course!
	It's summertime, summertime, some, some, summertime.
	So they've got it, right?
	It's like, hey, we've got the entire nation under control.
	We own it.
	The oil guys.
	We own Russia.
	You know, I'm tired of that destabilization thing we always do twice a year.
	Stop that.
	Okay.
	We've got control anyway.
	But we're going to continue it here.
	That's the only reason it's done, is to destabilize people.
	Put them off balance.
	This is exactly what masks are.
	Anyway, I thought I'd bring it up.
	Anyway, you watch the national anthem get thrown under the bus.
	Well, we're going to have to have the North American Union anthem pretty soon.
	Oh, Canada for space.
	And Mexico.
	Mexico is so nice.
	Yeah, well, we'll work on that.
	Meanwhile, in Gitmo Nation Europe, under the topic of...
	Notice I didn't sing along.
	Haiku Herman comes out and he says the most amazing thing about carbon reduction in the United States of Europe that I just had to share with you because it is almost poetry the way this man speaks.
	This, by the way, Haiku Herman is the, in case you didn't know, he is the President of the United States of Europe, not elected as such and not recognized.
	He could walk down the street and people would not know who he is, but he is the President of the United States of Europe.
	Reaching the EU objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% 80 to 95%.
	Stop breathing!
	Stop breathing!
	By 2050, compared to 1990, as agreed in October 2009, we require a revolution.
	Yo!
	He's calling for revolution, everybody!
	What kind of revolution?
	In energy systems, which must start now.
	Yes.
	GE, come on over.
	We're ready for you.
	It in fact means a new industrial revolution.
	Oh my god!
	Europe is going to be such an exciting place to vacation.
	The decisions of today determine the symbols of the future.
	Wasteland or wind park.
	What do you want?
	Wasteland?
	We have a wasteland in Europe?
	Is that what he said?
	I think he's trying to do poetry here.
	It's either wasteland or wind park.
	I don't want a wind park.
	Those things make a lot of racket.
	You want a wasteland.
	Well, he'll give you another choice.
	No, I don't want a wasteland.
	Well, that's what you're going to get if you don't take wind park.
	Well, who says?
	Haiku Herman.
	He has another choice for you.
	Smog-filled cities are smart electricity grids.
	What do you want?
	We took care of the smog-filled cities after the kill-off in 1955 in London with the deadly fog there and all the air pollution districts around.
	I mean, it's nothing like it was in the 60s and 70s.
	I mean, the Los Angeles Basin, which is still a little smoggy now and again, doesn't even compare to the way it was 25 years ago or 30 years ago.
	Improvements have been made already.
	What are they talking about?
	This is the Ministry of Truth giving you choices.
	Pump this into your brain.
	Wasteland?
	Or wind parks?
	Smug-filled cities?
	Or smart electricity grids?
	Hmm.
	All this will require investment.
	Oh, that coming out of your pocket, slaves?
	Investment in energy-saving solutions for cities, developing sustainable biofuels, building smart grids, and developing clean vehicles.
	Vehicles?
	How's your clean vehicle doing?
	What did he say?
	Clean what?
	Vehicles.
	Clean vehicles?
	That's a vehicle.
	It's a vehicle.
	He means vehicle.
	Exactly.
	Implementation of the Renewable Energy Directive, in particular, as regards consistent national support schemes and cooperation mechanisms, will be vital in this respect.
	Okay, I don't know what he said there, but I'm sure it's not good for us.
	No.
	This is what we're going to do.
	So I just thought that was quite annoying that he did that with this wasteland or wind parks, smug-filled cities, or smart electricity grids.
	That's how you talk to people.
	Yeah, I think we should start talking that way.
	Because they couldn't get the national anthem thing through.
	That's what they tried first.
	And talking about weird ways of saying things, this is a little bit off topic, but I had to make this clip.
	There was a special over the weekend, I think it was on the Military Channel, which is another thing I watch all the time.
	It's just not at all part of the mind control grid.
	You've fallen for it.
	And they were talking about how Franklin Roosevelt really didn't know about Pearl Harbor and they're trying to do a documentary on this.
	And they brought on this old timer who came out to say that it's all bull crap that Roosevelt didn't know anything and everybody knew it at the time and it was just somebody created it as an issue some years later.
	But it's the language this guy uses.
	This is language I have never...
	It's like, I think we should reintroduce some of the terminologies that this guy uses In this little commentary about how this was all bogus.
	The Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor.
	The Pearl Harbor investigations and the allegations that somehow Roosevelt knew in advance that the Japanese were going to attack.
	He planned it to get us into the war.
	All of that was pure Bosch, pure poppycock, pure Tommy Rot.
	It was a phony argument and he knew it was phony.
	Everybody else who knew anything of the facts knew it was a phony.
	Poppycock, Tommy Rot.
	I think Tommy Rot.
	Tommy Rot is good.
	What does that stem from?
	I have no idea where it even comes from.
	Poppycock is another one.
	Where is that?
	And Bosch.
	Bosch, Poppycock, Tommy Rot.
	Bosch is Tommy Rot.
	It's Poppycock.
	I'm going to reintroduce those terms.
	I'm going to use them.
	Fiddle sticks.
	I think we should just do that.
	Fiddle sticks.
	My parents used to say fiddle sticks.
	I remember that.
	Did he ever say Tommy Rod?
	No!
	I would have kicked my mother in the shins.
	Tommy Rod.
	But Fiddlesticks, yeah.
	No, Fiddlesticks was kind of an alternative to the F word.
	Fiddlesticks!
	I'm like, really?
	Those days are over.
	Tummy rot.
	I like poppycock, because cock is a nice word to say.
	Poppycock.
	Well, poppycock.
	I don't know, but we should look those up.
	What's the etymology of poppycock and, more importantly, tummy rot?
	And I wouldn't mind knowing fiddle sticks, either, while we're at it.
	Yeah, Bosch.
	Bosch.
	Well, that's a speaker line.
	They make good audio equipment.
	You're thinking of Bose.
	No, Bosch.
	Bosch is actually the company, the German company, that makes spark plugs.
	Well, that's what I mean, yeah.
	Yeah, they make spark plugs and distributor caps.
	Nobody uses this.
	The distributor cap hasn't been put on a car for 40 years.
	I think I'm driving one that has a distributor cap.
	A distributor cap.
	Hey, man, I disabled their car by taking out the distributor cap.
	Yeah, I think my sob actually has one.
	I think it still has a distributor cap.
	So, I pulled a clip from CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference.
	Yeah, of course, for those...
	I couldn't get a clip.
	I'm glad you got one.
	Oh, no, I got a clip.
	For those of you who are new to this program...
	It's what we do, so you don't have to...
	And so this actually covers two topics at once.
	Because, of course, the new television season is firing up and we have Celebrity Apprentice, which, of course, once again needs ratings.
	The last season on Celebrity Apprentice we misused and also predicted, by the way, Brett Michaels with his emergency hospitalization, the Cinderella story, we called it here on No Agenda.
	He came back to win Celebrity Apprentice.
	So now Donald Trump needs to promote his program once again.
	Because it's very hard.
	The ratings are, you know, it's a very difficult business these days.
	And, you know, if you can get five million people watching, that's already quite a big thing.
	So Trump does this by pretending to run for president.
	Yeah, he's pretending.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, please.
	He's pretending to run for president, and this guy has no shame.
	John, you agree with me, right?
	Oh, no, he has no shame.
	No shame.
	Unbelievable.
	He will misuse a sacred process.
	Okay, it's been co-opted and hijacked, but he'll misuse this process of the political system to become president, to promote himself, and more importantly, his show.
	And so you may have seen the news that once again, the same as last year, Congressman Ron Paul, who I've supported for four years running now, he's been a part of the show Won the straw poll vote for presidential candidate.
	Always wins this.
	Always wins this, yeah.
	Before you play the Trump clip, let me play a little follow-up.
	Can I just interrupt with this?
	Sure, of course.
	Because Ron Paul...
	Just kicks it.
	I mean, he kills.
	And it's like an embarrassment to the mainstream Republicans and Fox News and all the rest of them.
	So because of Ron Paul winning, again, the CPAC vote as the guy that everyone wants to be president, Fox quickly runs their own poll and play the Fox poll on the elections.
	And tell me where Ron Paul's name comes into it.
	CPAC's straw poll isn't the only election news tonight, Fox.
	Don't look over there.
	Whatever you do, don't pay attention.
	Don't look over there.
	Don't look over there.
	News, as I mentioned at the top of the program, has just released.
	Is Geraldo?
	Yeah.
	It's the big new poll.
	Our Julie Banderas has the details.
	That's amazing how he does that.
	So, that little CPAC thing, don't look over there.
	We got a big, big, big new poll.
	Listen up, slaves.
	Attention, human, we're a big poll.
	It's Julie.
	Geraldo, from former governors to Donald Trump, the field remains wide open, according to the latest Fox News polls.
	And with the results of CPAC's straw poll today, we'll see if Republicans get a bump in the next few weeks.
	As of right now, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney leave the pack with 55 and 54 percent.
	Rounding out the top five are former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 43%, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin at 40%, and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush at 39%.
	Huh.
	And wait a minute, they go through the top 20, and Ron Paul never shows up anywhere in this thing.
	Was it on screen?
	Yeah.
	But did they show Ron Paul on screen?
	They had the early stuff about CPAC and kind of mentioned in passing that Ron Paul won.
	But this was their own poll.
	The big one.
	The big poll.
	Which has no Ron Paul anywhere to be seen.
	It's hilarious.
	Yeah, this is the big poll.
	Well, it's clear because he does not have a shot at all.
	There's no chance of the guy winning.
	And Donald Trump will explain why.
	I wish there was a candidate that I saw that would be fantastic because I love what I'm doing.
	In fact, I have a great club that's 15 minutes away.
	By the way, Ron Paul cannot get elected.
	that I'm sorry to have.
	So the only thing that's missing, this is on C-SPAN 3, by the way, the only thing that's missing is where, hello, we've got, there must be some no agenda listeners amongst the Ron Paul supporters who, of course, are jeering here at Trump's comment. there must be some no agenda listeners amongst the Ron No one throws a shoe?
	I mean, please, someone should have thrown a shoe.
	I'm very disappointed.
	Ah, but wait, there's more.
	That's how much booing there was going on.
	I should have clipped that.
	Sorry.
	That's good.
	That deserves it.
	Here it comes.
	Throw a shoe!
	You know what else?
	I like Ron Paul.
	I think he's a good guy.
	But honestly, he has just zero chance of getting elected.
	You have to win an election.
	And by the way, don't forget to watch Celebrity Apprentice.
	laughter laughter Ha!
	The guy is unbelievable.
	He really...
	So we're going to have to call the winner pretty soon.
	I haven't looked in.
	I don't know who's...
	I haven't...
	I got to get the lay of the land.
	But it's always fun because this is what we do.
	Whether you deconstruct the media for who's going to win Celebrity Apprentice or anything, it's the same process.
	It's not that hard to do.
	No, it's not that hard to do.
	But what's real funny, there's an interesting story that came out just kind of slipped through the cracks that I got kind of a kick out of.
	And actually, I want to do this, though, just before we ask for donations because there's a follow-up that's kind of interesting.
	Um...
	I guess we're getting close to that anyway, aren't we?
	No, we've got a little more time.
	Alright, well then, you want to do some real news?
	Ooh, catch me off track.
	Actually, I have some real news.
	Here we go.
	And now, back to real news.
	Hit the extra.
	Well, hold on a second.
	Sorry, I wasn't prepared for it.
	Hey!
	Extra!
	Surviving Howard.
	You are good looking, man.
	I'll go to bed with you.
	By New York Inquisition today with the king of all mediums.
	I hear you're the front runner to take over for Regis.
	From zero to OMG in one hour, how it went off the rails.
	Extra!
	Extra!
	Lindsey's Sharon Stone makeover.
	Did looking like the basic instinct bad girl help or further case in court?
	Is Jen Aniston really buying this $15 million New York pad?
	Plus, new details about a death on the set of NCIS. Extra-exclusive Elton, Stevie, Dion, and Gladys.
	Only we're inside the New York City reunion, 25 years in the making.
	And our total age is now 493.
	No!
	Then a headline-grabbing arrest, a surprise divorce.
	My name is Earl star Jamie Presley breaks her silence to defend her family.
	It's really hurtful on so many levels.
	Plus, I'm at home with Trump.
	Is Rosie really calling a truce?
	I found him enjoyable.
	Extra starts right now.
	Extra!
	Extra!
	Wow.
	So Trump even got in on this deal.
	Now, the one thing I've noticed on all these shows, if you look at any of them, is like unbelievable amount of Grammy pre-promotion.
	I've never seen anything quite like it.
	I mean, every show has got some Grammy angle, Grammy, Grammy, Grammy.
	I mean, I've never, I really have seen a lot of promotion.
	I like to find out who's doing the PR for the Grammys because this person or persons...
	Edelman.
	Edelman.
	No, I know.
	Edelman.
	It is Edelman?
	It is Edelman.
	Which, by the way, are huge.
	No, Edelman's huge.
	But I've never noticed that they've been this...
	Well, this is all about access.
	See, we're in award show season, John, in case you didn't know.
	Yes.
	So it's award show season, and this is all about access.
	And if you want...
	So, you know, the popular stars today, you know, it's the Bieber.
	You know, it's Eminem, who's probably going to sweep the Grammys, I'll say.
	It's all these stars.
	If you want access, you've got to promote it.
	If you're not promoting, you don't get access.
	And it's what slaves want.
	They want their extra, extra.
	Yeah, no, I know there is a quid pro quo involved.
	Of course there is.
	All this extra coverage.
	There's also another thing that's being over-covered, and I can't figure out how they're kind of balancing it, but the Scientologists have opened up a new hotel or some building somewhere in Clearwater, which they basically own the town.
	You can check in any time you want, but you can never leave?
	Is that the hotel?
	It's like this big...
	And there's all these interesting...
	Because I guess the New Yorker magazine ran this negative story, which is basically...
	It was about a guy who left the church.
	Yeah, it's about some guy who left.
	And he's complaining.
	Okay, so this has stopped the presses.
	But these guys, the way they're carrying the story, they're...
	And I've seen this on two or three of them.
	They're basically quoting from a bunch of press releases on both sides of the argument.
	They got the New Yorker piece and then they word for word.
	And this really bothers me, by the way, because I had clipped a thing from Deborah Norville's show and I thought it was so boring I didn't want to use it.
	And then after I erased it from the DVR, another show came out with the exact same words, word for word.
	It was almost like it was scripted.
	It's becoming really annoying, and I think a lot of our listeners slash producers are seeing that as well.
	In fact, I have something from the Shadow Puppet Theater category.
	I won't play the jingle for you.
	Here you go.
	Press release, PR Newswire, which I'm sure we had to announce it, but Former Bloomberg Bureau Chief Kimberly Jordan named VP of the energy practice at Hill& Knowlton.
	So the journalist, who of course has been writing about the energy sector for quite a while, like a decade, they offer her a huge amount of money.
	She joins the team.
	Here, this is in the press release.
	Kim's deep knowledge in the energy space and journalism is a tremendous asset.
	Is a tremendous asset for clients that need to translate their own complex technical and financial story, i.e.
	lies, into compelling narratives that impact policies and markets, said Northrup.
	Kim has the ability to connect the dots, unearthing the untold stories and spotting the trends our clients need to know about.
	We are proud to have her as part of the H&K team.
	This is how, it's the revolving door.
	You get someone who's been writing about this, who's been a quote-unquote pristine journalist, and then you get them to turn around and call all their buddies.
	Hey, I've got a story for you.
	I've already written it for you.
	Right?
	It's closer to the truth than you can imagine.
	I'm sure it is.
	I'm sure it is.
	Before we get into donations, here's the thing that bugged me the most.
	The most emailed clip of the week, which I'm not going to play, is the trailer for the low-budget movie Atlas Shrugged Part 1.
	I love it.
	Part 1.
	Don't get to the payoff yet, John, because it's too cool.
	I read this book.
	I love this book.
	John, I read the book.
	He thinks it's stupid.
	I love it.
	In a nutshell.
	I live by many of the theories, the value for value.
	I think the show does live on the value for value.
	I enjoy a lot, and a lot of this steers me in my life.
	And Mickey, by the way, who gave me the book, I'd never even heard of it before I met her.
	She said, hey, you should read this.
	But by the way, it's easy on what you think about it because not everyone's going to be cool with that.
	So she's very smart.
	So I think a while back I said, yeah, we should be able to make a movie out of this.
	And people emailed me, yeah, we can do this.
	We could finance.
	And Mickey's like, you can't make a movie out of this.
	You cannot make a movie out of Atlas Shrugged.
	It's been tried.
	There's no way to make the screenplay.
	It'll be like...
	It's 18 hours long.
	No one will want to see it.
	It's a book.
	Okay?
	Get over it.
	It's a book.
	So I send her the trailer.
	I didn't say anything.
	I just emailed it to her.
	And she's sitting across the table on the other side.
	And I go, bling!
	I hear her email go.
	And I hear it go...
	She clicks on it.
	She's like, this sucks!
	This is horrible!
	This acting is no good!
	The actors don't...
	It's like, sucks, sucks, sucks.
	And I said, yeah, have you noticed, by the way, for a movie that had a budget, I think it was $3 million, they got a lot of beautiful high-speed rail train shots in there.
	Yeah.
	This obviously is...
	All aboard, trains good, planes bad.
	Woo-hoo!
	The whole thing is going to focus on Taggart Railway.
	I can't wait to see it because you know we're going to be right.
	And I'm sure that some additional funds came from the High Speed Rail Association.
	How else can you get these shots?
	It's either stock footage, which I've never seen before.
	You can't make this movie with that.
	Or expensive CG. Either way.
	Either way.
	It would have chewed out $3 million in the budget right there.
	But if I was trying to scam $53 billion to build a so-called high-speed rail, which will really only transport Warren Buffett's corn, I'd try and get the Atlas Shrug people on board.
	That would be a way.
	And I have to say, a lot of people are excited about it.
	I got news for you.
	I got news for you.
	It's going to suck.
	It's going to be Tommy Rotten.
	Not only that, it might be poppycock.
	By Ayn Rand.
	I'm going to show myself a little by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	Let's thank some people for supporting our show, John, with our value for value concept.
	We may as well.
	Sarah Morley in Montreal, Quebec.
	$132.60.
	This donation for one, $33 plus $33 to welcome twin slaves Sean and Malcolm into the fold with a double dose of karma born February 11th.
	Wow!
	What a great date.
	It's 02112011.
	Not bad.
	Plus $66.60 to wish fellow producer Salvatore Barrera a very happy birthday on February 14th.
	Do we have him on the list?
	Yes, we have him on the list.
	I want to thank him for presenting me with a challenge coin in a ring box.
	What gallantry, she says.
	Sarah from Montreal.
	Was that a proposal?
	Is that a wedding proposal?
	I think it should be.
	Here, honey.
	Would you marry me?
	I can just see Mickey going, Oh, no, you didn't.
	Uh-uh.
	I want a $30,000 ring.
	Oh, no, you didn't.
	That ain't happening.
	I love those shows.
	And there we go yet again.
	Uh, Monsieur Guilin.
	Guilin.
	Guilin.
	Donate 78 bucks.
	Dear John and Adam, greetings from Gitmo Nation.
	No government for 245 days.
	245 days.
	As Belgium will soon break the record for operating for the longest period of time without a government.
	I'm getting ready to be a good duke in the Stephen.
	Didn't we do this last week?
	Uh...
	It might be another one, because I don't remember this.
	No, it's a new one, because he has another...
	Another thing I'm supposed to say?
	Yeah.
	Come on, John.
	It's $78.
	Very good.
	Really?
	No, that sucked ass.
	Oh, okay.
	Dus ik geef hierbij opnieuw een schenking aan no agenda.
	Ja, gesundheit.
	Thanks, Chris.
	We appreciate it.
	Love you coming back every week for that.
	Yeah, he's going to keep me...
	I guess it's just a...
	Why don't you just set up a dunk tank for me?
	That's a good idea.
	William Santora, Chandler, Arizona.
	Just sent my first donation today, 65, 657.
	Didn't see a place to add a note until after I hit the send button.
	Well, how'd you get this note in there?
	I just wanted to say I'm a very long-time listener to you both together and individually, blah, blah, blah.
	He goes back to the single-digit episodes of both the DSC and Cranky Geeks.
	It was turned on to you both separately through Leo.
	Thank you, Leo.
	Thanks, Leo.
	You know, by the way, Leo's plane couldn't land in Antarctica, so I think he's not going.
	He went to Antarctica, you know.
	No, I thought he was in Argentina.
	Yeah, to go to Antarctica.
	As one does.
	Yeah, that's what I always do when I go to...
	When I go to Brandon's Zara, I'm only thinking of Antarctica.
	I can't wait to get me to Antarctica.
	Anyway, my donation was way overdue, certainly not as much as I'd like.
	And he once would have sent blah, blah, blah.
	He has a beautiful wife, Nasik.
	So I thought at least I would start my formal support by sending you the balance of my PayPal account, which we, by the way, recommend you do.
	Yes, thank you very much.
	This balance was left after I finally closed my second life account that I hadn't used in years.
	Thank you.
	Thanks for that mistake, Adam.
	D-douching.
	He wants a D-douching and a karma, especially for his wife, the beautiful Nasik.
	Okay, we get to do a double shot there.
	I like doing that.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Leon Shamus in Pumarind, Nordholland.
	Pumarind.
	Pumarind.
	Nordholland.
	This is a good letter.
	This says, I realize my $5 monthly donation was canceled by PayPal.
	In early 2010.
	No.
	So here's what I intended to donate.
	So he added double nickels on the dime.
	But this happens to a lot of people.
	Joseph Costello in Pittston, Pennsylvania in the morning will be listening to this episode together in the car on Valentine's Day.
	So please send my love to Mary.
	Aww.
	It's his wonderful wife of 29 years.
	Mary, you're happy that he's...
	Look at this.
	It's a public affirmation.
	That's right.
	That is beautiful.
	P.S. Tell her when we get home her present is hidden in the cabinet in the garage.
	It's a challenge, Coyne.
	Now, that would be funny.
	I wouldn't put it past Joseph.
	And Joseph gave 5069.
	Is that a missed opportunity?
	Did we miss an opportunity for doing Valentine's shout-outs for donations?
	I think we did.
	I was thinking the same thing early this morning.
	Yeah, we blew that.
	We blew it.
	Jesse Cruz, Highland Park, Illinois, $50.
	And that wraps it up for the donations, which were pretty crummy, I'd have to say, this week.
	But let me read a couple of letters that came in specific to our listeners.
	This one's kind of interesting from Mike Hall.
	He's been riddled with guilt since he's been listening to this show 20.
	A few weeks ago, everything I learned in my twice-a-week-no-agenda night training came full circle.
	I was invited to a focus group from a national research org.
	I thought it might be the next iPod or something cool.
	Instead, I was subjected to the best way Portland, Maine, and the world would deal with climate change.
	Imagine a focus group.
	Also to select a better name and person or organization that best represents the new name.
	Al Gore was on the list, and the names were all over the top.
	He never mentioned any of them.
	I would try to keep this brief when he already hasn't.
	In a pre-phone interview, he was asked about his politics when he said he wasn't into the green thing.
	They just basically hung up on him.
	The moderator opened up by asking knowledge of the question or whatever.
	Meanwhile, somebody canceled, so he got invited in.
	And he said they pulled out a map of Portland in the focus group, and 300 years after Katrina-type...
	This is after the Armageddon!
	In 300 years, by the way.
	I've said this before.
	This is like buying wine, lousy wine, and the wine guy says, don't worry about it.
	It's lousy now, but it's going to get better in time.
	It'll be great.
	It showed the waterfront missing and the back bay missing, which are both areas that were filled in the late 1800s.
	When I asked what that meant to me and what would happen to the boats and the businesses, I said that it didn't look so bad.
	Yeah.
	We'd have beachfront properties.
	It wasn't our land to begin with.
	They threw them out.
	They threw them out, exactly.
	Anyway, that's...
	I had two quick notes.
	One from, just sweet notes.
	Robert Leather, hi John and Adam.
	PayPal allowed somebody to take some of my money out of our account, announced it was suspicious, then spent nearly three weeks to put the money back into the account despite telling us it was fraudulent in the first place.
	Somebody on the inside, perhaps.
	Anyway, decided to send $60 to fund a cheapskate 99% or obviously the equivalent of a $5 subscription.
	I guess this hadn't come in.
	Oh, it did come in.
	Yeah.
	If you could mention my lovely long-suffering partner Susan Richardson, wish her a happy Valentine's for tomorrow.
	That would be great.
	I know Valentine's is just BS, so instead of saying it with dead plants, I'm sending you the cash instead, safe in the knowledge that imparted knowledge beats dead foliage every day.
	Thanks many, and it's an honor to be a happy new slave in Adam's OPML gathering experiment.
	He does do a lot for the show notes.
	I want to thank him and happy Valentine's to his partner, Susan.
	And then in the morning, Adam says, Anthony, my friend works at Big Chief's, a tobacco shop in Tallahassee, Florida, where they play music throughout the day.
	I bet you Big Chief's tobacco in Tallahassee is frequented by a lot of people, actually.
	I got him hooked on the show a few months ago.
	Now he mixes in No Agenda Shots in between the songs.
	So please give my thanks to Rhino the Bearded and In the Morning to all other listeners out there.
	These No Agenda Shots are invaluable and I just want to ask you again to go to NoAgendaShots.com and help Rhino out with his scholastic fund.
	Otherwise he's going to have to take a job to pay for his books and courses and he won't be able to do the No Agenda Shots.
	Right, that will It will hurt us.
	It will hurt us severely.
	And I think he doesn't need all that much, but he really does need some help.
	And if everyone went and did it today, then it would work out.
	It would probably hurt us.
	They wouldn't be donating to Rhino, but it's worth it because it's great for the No Agenda stream.
	And we appreciate all the help and, of course, all of the donations, the $5 a month, the 11.11, a lot of people upgrading to that.
	So if you're checking if your PayPal subscription has been canceled, consider upgrading to an $11.11 a month giving level.
	And of course we have our lucky $30 and our $33 a month mothership boarding pass.
	And you should know how to do this by now.
	channeldvorak.org slash na and as backup when the site goes down which is not that often but it does happen channeldvorak.com slash na will have the same it's your birthday birthday i'm going to and the list for today sir kelly spongberg says happy birthday to his son dallas uh who turns 15 We'll be knighting him momentarily.
	Michael Miller, happy birthday to Catherine.

	Sarah Morley says happy birthday to, of course, the new human resources, Sean and Malcolm, both born on February 11th.
	We're very happy for all of you.
	And Salvatore Barrera, whose birthday is on Valentine's Day.
	And we wish you all a very happy birthday from your buddies here at No Agenda and Adam and John.
	I'm restraining myself here, not singing along with the jingles.
	I got so much crap from you.
	I'm afraid now.
	You didn't get much crap.
	I said one thing.
	Hey, pull out your thing, man.
	Well, I'm just going to explain why I said that one thing.
	It's because there's so much effort put into these jingles that I don't like stepping on the product.
	No, that's true.
	But I get so excited by them.
	Particularly this one.
	Let me grab this thing.
	Hold on a second.
	That one is in my mind all day long.
	Now you got the thing?
	Yeah, here.
	That, my friends, is theater of the mind.
	Alright, Dallas Spongberg, step forward, son!
	I believe you are the youngest ever to be knighted, and welcome to the...
	No Agenda Knights Roundtable, where, by the way, we've got some pretty hot dames hanging out here at the Roundtable.
	Seeing as Sir Kelly Spongberg, Black Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable, has upped the giving level to another $1,000, we hereby Knight B. Sir Dallas Spongberg, Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable, come on down!
	Have some chocolate milk!
	Chocolate milk.
	And some porn flicks.
	We've got it all for you.
	What am I going to say?
	Rent boys and Cabernet for the kid?
	I don't know what to do.
	I think chocolate milk is in cookies.
	Yeah, chocolate milk and cookies.
	The kid's 15.
	He doesn't want that.
	He wants something manly.
	Everybody wants a cookie.
	So, John, there's been a lot of weird stuff going on in my world.
	In your world?
	In my world.
	Which is very different from your world.
	Yeah.
	So the...
	I've purposely tried to stay away from this because I know you'll scoff me.
	But I just can't...
	I'd scoff at you.
	No, you'd actually scoff me with your shoe on my face.
	So the poles are shifting.
	And this is showing up in many different forms.
	In aviation, we know that you have magnetic north and true north.
	And this does change.
	And in fact, in Florida, they actually had to change the runway markings at an airfield to reflect the true direction so that when you're doing your approach and you think you're on runway 18 and it's actually runway 15, you could kind of come in a little weird.
	Three degrees makes a big difference when you're trying to hit a runway.
	Well, this is quite a cause for concern, and in fact, a lot of people are saying that this is the coming of the demise.
	Of course, it happens every year around the Ides of March 15th, but this time we have a...
	What happens every year on the 15th?
	The Ides of March.
	Oh yeah, the Ides of March, yeah.
	Right, but this Ides of March could be the last one we ever witness.
	How's that?
	Well, because the poles are going to flip completely.
	But the poles have been flipping for years, and they've flipped before.
	But now we're in perfect alignment with some comet or meteor.
	Oh, here we go.
	That is going to crash.
	Here we go.
	And all the earthquakes have something to do with it.
	The dead birds is because of poisonous gases being released because of these pole shifts.
	I'm very confused by it all.
	But I think we need to, you know, the advice is take a vacation on March 15th and go up into the mountains.
	Nothing's going to happen on March 15th.
	The poles take forever to flop.
	Hmm.
	I don't know.
	What's interesting, they've done a bunch of specials on this on NOVA, and occasionally, apparently there's hot spots of magnetism that start to crop up that really screw things up before the flip actually happens.
	But they think that there'll be a moment in between the North and South Pole flipping, which is going to take a couple hundred years.
	But there'll be maybe a period of maybe, like...
	As long as 100 or 200 years, during the flipping period where there's essentially not enough magnetism to move a compass.
	To keep us on Earth.
	We'll float.
	There'll be very little magnetism, and so the aurora borealis will be seen everywhere.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Which will be pretty.
	I'm just saying now might be the time to up the ante on the $33 a month mothership boarding pass.
	That's probably not a bad idea.
	Stuff is happening.
	That's always a good idea.
	You cannot deny that there's a lot of disastrous circumstances.
	It's very, very cold.
	I have to say, I'm getting real chilly with that global warming.
	It's chilling me out quite a bit.
	So before we ran to the donation, I did want to run a couple of clips and I want to do them before we get into some meatier stuff.
	But I got the biggest kick out of Weekend News.
	You know the man with the golden voice?
	And by the way, they've come up with a woman with the golden voice they've found on one of these shows, but she's got no traction and so she's out.
	So you mean the homeless guy?
	The homeless guy.
	Yeah.
	So they brought the guy on, he did an interview, and she said, well, he's trying to back out of the system, the woman that's this weekend news anchor.
	She says he's trying to back out because he values his privacy.
	That's not what he says.
	And what he says is so appropriate to the No Agenda listener and to what our theme is, basically.
	And it's funny, because apparently he can't take one aspect of this popularity that he achieved, and if you play the...
	The Golden Voice guy, which isn't the follow-up, it's Golden Voice and Dr.
	Phil.
	Play that.
	The man with the Golden Voice who was once homeless is talking about his time in rehab.
	Ted Williams says he left a treatment facility arranged by talk show host Dr.
	Phil McGraw after two weeks.
	Williams says it was too high profile.
	My reason for leaving treatment gave me a sense of it being scripted.
	You know, I was doing live telephone call-ins with Dr.
	Phil and my girlfriend and my ex-wife and my kids are all being, you know, it became somewhat of a scripted circus and a form of anonymity was lost.
	Now, William says he's now hoping to get help through an outpatient program and he says he is doing it now.
	Yeah.
	So of course it was scripted.
	They said, hey...
	It was totally scripted.
	Hey, shut up and do this.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Wow.
	And meanwhile, of course, she misses the point of it.
	The real reason he didn't like it being, who does?
	I mean, I suppose somebody does, but to be thrust into the public limelight, and then instead of just going on your merry way, they grab you, whoever they are, in this case, the Dr.
	Phil people, who, by the way, seems to be something of a douchebag.
	Do you think?
	They throw him into this thing, and they script it, tell him what to do, what to say, how to act, and everything in between.
	They bring other people in.
	They make, like the guy says, a circus out of his life, and he just bails out.
	He says, screw it, I'm out of here, and that's the end of him.
	I mean, he'll maybe work or do whatever he does.
	So this guy is actually, because he's been on the street and knows what real life is about, which I believe is true.
	I mean, I don't think that's a scam.
	I think he really was, you know.
	I agree.
	Outkast.
	He recognizes it, and they didn't drug him up, luckily.
	So he kind of got out of it.
	It's funny, because last night there was a going-away party.
	Our friend Frank Karachi is going to go direct a movie in Boston with Selma Hayek and Kevin James.
	And Frank is like this roly-poly, amazing, funny guy.
	He's an apoholic.
	He's a great guy.
	And so there's a room of nothing but beautiful people.
	And over in the corner, it was dinner, I see Steve Coogan.
	You know who Steve Coogan is?
	No.
	He's been in a ton of movies.
	He had a huge show in Gitmo Nation East called, what was it?
	It was like a fake talk show.
	It'll come to me in a moment.
	Alan Parsons.
	Alan Parsons on Alan Parsons.
	And I was like, wow, I'm a big fan of that guy.
	So I'm like, I want to get an introduction.
	And I kind of get the feeling that maybe I should stay away from him for some reason.
	He's got some vibe.
	The guy's been completely coked out for years and he's just been sober for like 60 days or something.
	And it just shows you that this is what the business is.
	They bring you in, then you just go nuts.
	And then you have to run with the script.
	And the only way you can do it is if you're drugged up.
	And then you're lucky if you don't get whacked.
	I'm telling you, I mean, I'm happy I'm out.
	What a business to be in.
	Yeah, I'm happy I got out.
	I really am.
	That's why I'm alive today, people.
	Exactly.
	Another tale of The Hollywood Whackers.
	Talking about Whackers, there was a whole segment on...
	Alan Partridge, I'm sorry, Alan Partridge, not Alan Parsons.
	I'm being corrected by the chat room.
	Thank you.
	There was a...
	Well, you stepped on my...
	I was working...
	Sorry.
	Play the Hollywood Whackers.
	There was a whole segment of the Joy Behar show where they talked about masturbation and guess what?
	Internet porn.
	It was like this huge segment.
	And it was all done as though this is just brand new that Internet porn exists.
	And you can just play a chunk of it if you want.
	But it's like...
	I was just like...
	A chunk, Austin?
	Yeah.
	Greetings, everybody.
	Okay, let me start with you, Angel.
	First of all, why are men into this so much lately?
	Or are they?
	Lately.
	Now I get your Hollywood Whackers joke.
	Oh, I think it's a huge, huge issue.
	Okay, there's the gay guy.
	Yeah, he's a gay guy.
	Typical.
	Typical.
	I think a lot of it has to do with the proliferation of internet porn, the easy access, and the fact that much of it has gone free now.
	Oh, really?
	Hold on.
	Stop the presses.
	It's free.
	It's free now.
	It has gone free.
	It's free.
	It's gone free.
	What decade is this guy living in?
	It's gone free now?
	Let me ask you a question.
	Has that pornography gone free?
	You know, I think that there's less porn than ever.
	I mean, there's tons of it on there if you want to look it up and you want to turn off your filter on Google.
	But it's like, I don't see that it's like anything's changed from 1998, 1999.
	Well, what has happened...
	Nothing's gone free.
	It's always been free.
	Well, first of all, taping yourself and putting it online is free.
	There's a lot of that.
	There's a lot of amateur gonzo stuff.
	Yeah, there's a lot of that.
	That's true.
	Really?
	I don't know.
	John is reliably informed.
	But I think that's good.
	There's nothing wrong with it.
	If you want to tape yourself having sex and doing crazy stuff and put it online, it's beautiful.
	As long as you're not hurting somebody, it's a beautiful thing.
	I love that.
	Beautiful thing.
	It is.
	I'm very...
	That's not porn.
	We're waiting for your video, Adam.
	That's people...
	That's people having sex.
	It's a beautiful thing.
	It's a huge taboo.
	It's okay to show death and destruction and bloody limbs being ripped apart.
	I find it unentertaining to watch a couple going at it like dogs in the park on some video on the internet.
	I find it hard to watch.
	It's like, I don't know these people and I don't want to know them.
	And...
	You know, it's usually some fat guy with a hairy gut, you know, screwing away.
	I mean, it's just disgusting.
	Let me send you a few movies, my friend.
	You're tapping the wrong well.
	But then the other thing is the good material is just like, well, you know, what does it got to do with me?
	So, you know, so most porn or much porn these days is free.
	You have a lot of men who are either unemployed, they're freelance, they work from home, they stay...
	They do internet shows.
	They do internet shows.
	They work from home.
	They work from home in their underwear.
	This is great.
	They're at home dads.
	They're in small offices.
	They're in front of their computers.
	Who is this expert?
	I don't know, but the people are in small offices.
	Yeah.
	Hey, Betsy, can you make sure the door's locked?
	I'm busy.
	As a result of the access to porn, I mean, a lot of guys don't even want to necessarily find themselves, you know, looking at porn, but, you know, you're...
	Is this guy like this?
	I don't want to do it.
	Stop it!
	I don't want...
	I can't...
	Oh, my hand!
	I can't stop it from doing...
	On the New York Times, next thing you know, here's a pop-up for something, like...
	Oh, what just popped up there?
	Oh, my God.
	A Victoria's Secret catalog.
	The next thing you know, you're on a porn site.
	And I talk to guys.
	I work with guys who are self-pleasuring.
	They're masturbating, you know, 50 to 500 percent more than they normally would.
	Hey, Tom, let me ask you.
	Did you, uh, pleasure yourself, uh, more today than usual?
	500% more.
	Why does he say it?
	588% more.
	That's exactly.
	He should just get right to it.
	It's the 588% from Austin Goolsbee.
	Because of, because of the internet.
	Completely because of internet.
	And the accessibility.
	The accessibility and the fact that it's free.
	Okay, David, let me talk to you because...
	So is this a good thing or a bad thing?
	What's your problem?
	They say it's a bad thing for the following reasons.
	I obviously didn't clip the whole thing.
	Believe me, this was a huge segment.
	And this guy who wrote this article is very sheepish.
	But...
	They conclude it was a bad thing because instead of putting the effort that men have to put out to get any, as it were, in the wild, you know, by going to bars, they now just jerk off and they're done with it and they don't care about anything, according to these people.
	And it's not like that, you know, you can't go to bars anymore because if you have two drinks, you can't drive.
	You know what this is?
	You know what this is?
	This is soon going...
	You're going to be a sex predator.
	You're going to be a registered sex offender for whacking off in your cubicle.
	Watch.
	They always test stuff on Behar.
	John, we know this.
	This is a setup to something.
	This is a setup to, okay, these men masturbating.
	It's up 500%.
	Study shows this is not good.
	They're psychotic.
	This leads to child molestation or something like that.
	I guarantee you.
	You're probably right.
	It's horrible.
	But that story led to another story which I thought was kind of interesting, which is one we haven't explored in the show the last couple of times.
	And I'm not sure why, but we, I guess, jointly decided not to talk about it for some reason.
	It's the Chris Lee situation where he sends a picture of himself just basically without his shirt on.
	Yeah, well, and with an offensive pose, because anyone who does that, like, muscle pose, that's lame.
	I mean, let's be honest.
	That was lame.
	It's very lame, and it's a self-shot picture in the bathroom because you're holding the camera.
	I mean, you've seen this picture a million times.
	And it says to this woman who...
	Finally, I do a little research, and I concluded this guy was set up, and I don't know who this woman, whatever her name is.
	Here, play the Callahan clip at the bottom of the list, and we'll catch up to the story.
	I'm looking for it.
	Callahan?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Yeah, okay.
	Got it.
	Who is Aisha Callahan and what have you learned about her?
	Aisha Callahan is a single mother, a 34-year-old professional.
	She's a faculty specialist at University of Maryland University College.
	She's a blogger.
	She's apparently very attractive.
	Striking because she is so tall and pretty.
	Meanwhile, the disgraced congressman is reported to be in seclusion in Florida at his millionaire father's sprawling estate.
	A special election will be called to fill the now empty congressional seat.
	She helped launch...
	Okay, so this woman...
	Set up.
	He was set up.
	Aisha Callahan.
	I found her blog, finally.
	She's not...
	I don't know how attractive she is.
	She looks like Tracy Jordan, to be honest about it.
	She's a blogger.
	And, I don't know, and she...
	She looks like Tracy Jordan from Saturday Night Live?
	Yeah, no, from...
	From 30 Rock?
	That's not attractive.
	Well...
	If you look like Tracy Jordan...
	She looks like a dude?
	She looks like a dude?
	Okay.
	All right.
	Tracy Jordan has female characteristics.
	So anyway, beside the point, she's not, you know, and she's black and, you know, and this guy, I guess he was, I don't know, the whole thing says she got the picture.
	I don't know how she knew who it was.
	Because if I had seen this guy's picture, if I was a woman and some guy sent me this picture, well, how would I recognize him as some new congressman?
	I mean, it's not possible.
	Because she's not even in the same area.
	And she teaches at College Park, which is kind of a JC, to be honest about it.
	And so she sends the picture immediately to Gawker.
	Right.
	Why would she do that?
	Who coincidentally just relaunched their new redesign of all their websites.
	So here's the question.
	Now, here's the thing that makes...
	Obviously, he was set up.
	Because no...
	I don't care who it is.
	No woman on the prowl...
	Especially going to Craigslist or wherever she is, is going to take a picture, especially one that's as lame as this, and out of the blue send it to Gawker because, to be honest about it, she basically is saying to the world, I am never going to get a date again.
	No, exactly, because you'll rat me.
	Yeah, so anyone who knows who this woman is, oh, you're the one who sent them all.
	I'm out of here.
	No guy or girl.
	It just goes on both sides.
	If you pull that out of the blue for no apparent reason, what was the reason for doing that?
	What was the reason for doing it?
	There was no reason.
	And the fact now is that she's essentially snakebit.
	Nobody in their right mind would date her unless she goes up and says, well, I did this because I was paid to do it or whatever.
	There's something fishy about the story.
	I don't know why they wanted to get rid of this guy.
	I don't know who wanted to get rid of him.
	But this is good intelligence agency stuff.
	But there's obviously no follow-up because we're all way too busy.
	There's no follow-up.
	In fact, it was only this report when I first heard the woman's name.
	And this was on Inside Edition.
	The regular media never said who it was.
	All they did was kept showing the picture and making jokes.
	Yeah, well, if you embarrass somebody, then they're gone.
	They're out of the picture.
	That's how it works.
	I would look at his millionaire daddy to get some of the info, quite honestly.
	I'm just not that interested.
	I'm not either, but I decided to follow a little bit because it just seemed like a phony deal from the beginning.
	And what really bothers me is nobody seems to want to do any follow-up about this guy.
	He's a congressman.
	This is not a local mayor or anything.
	Right.
	It's a big deal, but nobody seems to care, but it's obviously a phony, baloney, fishy deal.
	And for some reason, we could probably uncover if we spent like 10 minutes.
	This would be a good one for the No Agenda producers.
	They'll uncover it.
	They'll figure it out.
	They'll get the info to us.
	We don't have to do anything.
	This will be found out within minutes.
	Well, we're kind of on the sexual tip just a little bit.
	The vaccine industry is ever-expanding now.
	It's just going out of control, particularly the Gardasil.
	They are really pushing this Gardasil.
	Yeah, it's unbelievable.
	United Nations Foundation's director is now talking about putting a global vaccines campaign in place.
	Gitmo Nation East doctors demand schoolgirls be vaccinated against genital warts.
	So there are 40 different kinds of HPV. And the vaccine does not protect against all of them.
	So it's a scam.
	Now, there are many ways you can treat HPV, and it does not necessarily lead to ovarian cancer.
	But the thing that gets me is now they're going after gay men with not one, but two articles.
	The first one in The Advocate.
	And another one, it's a blog, the Adam for Adam blog, another gay blog.
	And both of them are talking about...
	This kills me.
	So obviously they've gotten the press release.
	They may even be paid by the industry.
	The doctors are getting paid for sure.
	But women, it's good practice to get a pap smear test.
	It's very simple.
	Your insurance will pay for it.
	Just a little swab there, and then they check that and see if there's anything going on.
	And in most cases, I'm not a medical doctor, but in most cases, if you have a version of HPV, you can get dealt with.
	You don't need to take a vaccine.
	It's smart and a good practice anyway to have a swab taken as a pap smear.
	Well, the new thing, John, which you and I should definitely sign up for, is the anal pap smear.
	No, no.
	Ow!
	The anal pap smear.
	We all need to have it.
	Anal pap smear.
	Chances are you have, have had, or will get HPV. At least 50%.
	It says that in the article?
	Oh, yeah.
	In both articles.
	This is what's so crazy.
	Oh, yeah.
	Probably word for word.
	Of course it is.
	I wish I could pronounce that.
	Papillomavirus, HPV, can lead to anal, rectal, lip, throat, and esophageal cancer, so get tested!
	Men should request the anal pap smear test, and people of all ages should get the Gardasil vaccination!
	Women should start getting a vaginal pap smear test within three years of becoming sexually active, or by age 21, then every two years.
	True.
	This test can help find abnormalities in the cervix before cervical cancer develops.
	True.
	HIV-positive women should be screened more often.
	In their 40s and 50s, all women over 40 should have annual mammogram.
	And it goes on.
	But anyway, men should have the anal pap smear test.
	It's a new test, brought to you by Nabisco.
	Now, from Mattel.
	Batteries not included.
	Yeah, it's just, it is really unbelievable that they have no scruples.
	I love the way they plant these stories.
	I've got a planted, actually I've got a couple planted stories, but there's this, I got the best planted story of the week was, and after the story, after this runs, you tell me, what do you think, why maybe in a million years would they plant a story like this chocolate BS story, if you can run that?
	Yeah.
	Dark chocolate.
	Ooh, let's talk about that.
	That could be better for you, it turns out, than a glass of fruit juice because cocoa powder has more antioxidants than super fruits like, you know, blueberries or cranberries.
	That's from scientists at Hershey's who say that cocoa seeds should be considered a fruit as well.
	They also say that they only studied natural cocoa.
	The processed stuff might not have the same effects.
	You know, it's so unbelievable that the chocolate manufacturer can release a study about how their own product is better than fruits and berries.
	And then for the news, they say, wow, it's amazing!
	Science is in!
	It's a scientific breakthrough!
	Science!
	And I guarantee you, you'll hear someone go, hey, you know, I hear that it's better than some chocolate than a berry.
	It's unbelievable.
	This is news, people.
	And you wonder why we have half a million people listening to us.
	You wonder why.
	It's not that hard.
	This is news.
	Well, they found out a while back, maybe it was just two months, that all these cereals that say that they've got blueberries.
	It's like no blueberry.
	It's like corn.
	It's like some chunk of some guy's got a chemical.
	It's a chunk of Spectrum.
	With a little bit of corn and blue paint on it.
	Yeah, it's crazy.
	Anyway, there is some actual food issues up in your family's neck of the woods, John, which this report coming from Portland, I thought we would look at what's happening there with food because we have had major storms and freezes and electricity going out and crazy stuff and global warming.
	We're all going to die and food is very, very expensive.
	And I'm Tracy Berry.
	First at 6 tonight, get ready to pay double, maybe even triple the price for fresh produce in the coming weeks.
	The worst freeze in 60 years has decimated crops in Mexico and the southwestern U.S. News Channel 8's Wayne Haverly is looking into produce prices that seem to be rising by the hour, Wayne.
	Yeah, not only are these prices skyrocketing, there is a very good chance that supplies of items like these Roma tomatoes and asparagus might not be available at any price, at least for a while.
	What's going on with produce prices?
	We've had a double and triple, and the consumer comes in here and looks at the price.
	It's a little shock to them.
	The problem started less than a week ago when our nation was focusing on the Super Bowl and those sheets of ice falling.
	Yeah, that's right.
	While you all weren't looking, while you were literally saying it, while you weren't looking, we jacked the prices up.
	Farmers throughout northern Mexico and the southwestern U.S. experienced unprecedented crop losses.
	Now devastation that seems so far away is impacting all of us.
	Increase, increase, increase.
	Roma tomatoes have more than doubled in price since Thursday.
	Zucchini has tripled.
	Shoppers like Sylvia Armenta can't believe what she's seen.
	Because my money is not doubled and not tripled, you know?
	I need to buy everything for my son and my baby and my husband.
	These are just current price changes.
	Alright, so of course the whole thing is devastating.
	Why do they break somebody off?
	Why do they keep doing these people on the street?
	Well, she's not on the street.
	She's in the supermarket.
	You can't understand her.
	Yeah, she did.
	She said, my salary not double, no triple.
	That's what she said.
	Well, so, of course, we had horrible storms, which were all predicted, by the way.
	If you didn't listen to the global warming people, and you just had some common sense, we're in a double El Niña.
	It's when this stuff happens.
	But of course, that's not on the news at all.
	No one's covering El Nino.
	It's all global warming and the freezer in the Arctic.
	It's the freezer in the Arctic!
	It's warming!
	Someone left the door open!
	And that's why it's so cold.
	How come if you left the door open in the Arctic to let the snow in?
	How come it somehow went right past California and then all of a sudden landed in Arizona?
	Does that make sense to anybody?
	Because Nancy Pelosi lives here.
	She doesn't want to have to put on a fur coat.
	You're not going to let that happen.
	So, of course, this is all known.
	And then simultaneously, and this is what it's all for, really, simultaneously we've got our friends...
	And they are saying, hey Mexico, Mexico, I think you should re-evaluate the GMO corn we've been talking about that you put on hold now that all your craps are gone.
	This is exactly what it is.
	European Union, also quite chilly there at the moment.
	European Union, all kinds of genetically engineered foods coming in.
	It's coming, people.
	You can't stop it.
	The elites at the top are allowing it in.
	It's happening here in the United States.
	It's happening everywhere.
	Genetically modified.
	Buy your Monsanto stocks now.
	You'll die, but at least you'll die wealthier than you are today.
	Because you've been eating this crap.
	It's unbelievable.
	It's so blatantly obvious.
	Oh, what a surprise.
	Food is more expensive.
	Frost-resistant.
	There's probably some...
	We should look that up.
	Look for frost-resistant seeds.
	Monsanto.
	Google that.
	Monsanto.
	Frost-resistant.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, no, I'm sure.
	I'm sure.
	No, they came out with a frost-resistant strawberry.
	Apparently, there's a gene where the plant says, eh, I can deal with this, and it makes it go through a frost without having any problems.
	All right, I'm Googling it right now.
	Frost-resistant plant gene.
	Google that.
	Wow.
	So realize if you're eating a frost-resistant tomato...
	Wow.
	Yeah, you're not kidding, John.
	There's like tons of it here.
	I told you.
	Frost-resistant Monsanto.
	That's the term.
	Oh my gosh.
	These guys are genius.
	They're amazing.
	They are.
	I wonder, it's a tasty little frost-resistant tomato.
	I'm sure it tastes like crap.
	Wow.
	Wow, nailed that one, Johnny.
	Oh, my God.
	Points for that.
	Follow up to the golden voice.
	Don't take me back to real news again.
	No, no, this isn't real news.
	This is about the Fort Hood shooter.
	Oh, okay, good.
	So I want to remind people to donate to our show because we don't do what you're about to listen to, which is to just cut off the conversation because we've got to take a break.
	Yeah, we'll be right back after these words from Boeing.
	So, there's a couple of tidbits in here.
	There's this weekend show called Judge Janine, and there's this hard-ass...
	You know, I would recommend watching porn instead of Judge Janine.
	Judge Janine is on Fox and she's like judging Napolitano.
	They got a lot of judges all of a sudden on Fox.
	But these aren't judges that do the phony judge thing.
	They just keep reminding you they're judges and they're talk show hosts.
	And Judge Janine is this hard ass and she just like drives through everything.
	Hey, you're full of crap!
	Let's take a break.
	There's a couple interesting little tidbits in here but then she cuts off the conversation at the end saying, you suck and basically kills it but She's talking to the lawyer for the Fort Hood shooter.
	You've got to tell me which clip to play, honey.
	The one that says Judge Janine.
	Yeah, if I had that, I'd play it.
	It says follow up to Golden Voice with Judge Janine.
	Oh, that one.
	And they, like me, are still without much of the relevant evidence associated with this case.
	That's not the issue.
	I mean, look, psychiatrists do it all the time in murder cases.
	One last question.
	We've got to wrap it up here.
	Do you think that your client can get a fair trial?
	Never.
	Not at Fort Hood.
	Under the circumstances that currently exist there, there's absolutely no way.
	Let me just interrupt this for a second.
	I watched an excellent documentary this past week called Ground Truth.
	Actually, I met the woman who produced it.
	Documentaries never make money, but she actually got all kinds of tax problems.
	She's a really nice lady.
	And it was really about post-traumatic stress disorder.
	The more I hear the story about Fort Hood, the more I can understand.
	I think you could have pre-traumatic stress disorder.
	Our military, our dudes are screwed, man.
	It's like you can just be listening to these guys' stories and you'll want to go hang yourself.
	So this Fort Hood thing is like...
	Terrorism, jihad, crap.
	Our military is in deep, deep psychological trouble.
	Anyway.
	Just several weeks ago, they raided his cell and seized well over 155 legal documents that have yet to be returned to me that were privileged.
	He's housed in a facility where they haven't even attended to his medical needs.
	Let me ask you this because we have to wrap it up.
	Shut up, slave!
	Wow!
	Do you think that he should have been reported by the military for the statements that he was making about his holding Al-Awlaki, a terrorist, in high esteem?
	Let me tell you, Mr.
	Al-Awlaki, like my client, have their history being revised by the government.
	Mr.
	Al-Awlaki was a guest invitee at a luncheon at the Pentagon.
	Yes, absolutely.
	None of your speakers nor the Senate report addressed that.
	He was invited as a guest speaker to a luncheon in the Pentagon.
	He's been calling for the murders of Americans.
	Anyway, guys, I'd like to go on with this, but I have to wrap it up.
	I want to thank you.
	And how many times have we told you that on this show?
	Twenty?
	But we don't cut you off.
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah, whatever.
	Who cares?
	We gotta go.
	We're done.
	Yeah, and Al-Awlaki is now the top guy, right?
	Osama bin Laden, no longer important.
	No, we gotta get Obama.
	That's because he's easier, because he's obviously compromised.
	He's alive.
	Al-Awlaki is still alive.
	Yeah, he's still alive.
	This is Obama phony baloney deal.
	Or Obama, I'm sorry, Osama.
	Oops.
	Oops.
	Yeah, Osama.
	The Osama thing is they can't sustain it.
	Wow.
	By the way, it was Fox News that reported that, which is the crazy thing.
	Fox News was the first one to report that Anwar Awalaki...
	I know he was at a lunch, and I didn't even know he was a guest speaker.
	He's American, by the way.
	Yeah, from Arizona.
	Yeah, he's an American.
	And that he was a guest speaker at the Pentagon after 9-11.
	Well, here's another little tidbit.
	No kidding.
	This kills me.
	How come we don't have a million dollars in donations?
	If you want real news, this is the place, people.
	So here's another...
	I know.
	In fact, I do have a comment about that.
	We actually are way low.
	So let's try to play...
	Here's another thing that was on.
	I got the guy's name here.
	Some ex-FBI guy was on...
	Oh, I think I have the same clip.
	David Williams, former FBI agent, this is a, he's blathering on, and this was at the Enterprise, this is a C-SPAN thing I picked up, and he's talking about homegrown terror, and again, Al-Awlaki comes into the picture, but play this homegrown terror.
	I think I have exactly the same clip.
	...boss to them, they inspire them, and they train them.
	I mean, are there more threats out there, more ticking time bombs that we...
	Ticking time bombs have to worry about now?
	We suspect there probably are more ticking time bombs.
	Ticking time bombs, it's a new one, John.
	Ticking time bombs.
	Actually, this is, I think, Judge Jeanine again.
	In fact, radicalization of the population, whether in the United States or elsewhere, is a growing problem.
	Radicalization of the population.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	The ticking time bomb.
	The data has been forced to change and adapt following 9-11.
	They have done so.
	And the way they have done that is doing things by the internet and doing things where they can get people to commit actions in the name of the spiritual guy.
	In particular because Al-Aki is a native English speaker.
	He's an American!
	He's a native English speaker.
	That opens up a whole new market of jihadists to become terrorists.
	It's a growth market, I tell you!
	It's unbelievable, these guys!
	Let me play a little bit of my clip.
	It's more an end-of-show clip.
	We'll play this until you can't take it anymore.
	You shouldn't do that to me because I love most of these clips.
	Oh, good.
	So this is like a spy convention.
	Spy versus spy.
	Spy convention.
	And they get a couple of spies on to talk about what's happening.
	In five minutes, the nation's leading intelligence officials will gather for the annual Worldwide Threat Hearing.
	Worldwide Threat Hearing.
	John, how can we never get invited to the cool stuff?
	Worldwide Threat Hearing.
	How can we never get invited to the good shows?
	Laying out the biggest threats to American interests at home and overseas.
	Set to testify, the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, the Director of the CIA, Leon Panetta.
	James Clapper, that's the guy who didn't know there was something going on in England, right?
	Yeah, that guy.
	What?
	What happened?
	This guy's left completely out of the loop.
	What?
	What happened?
	No intelligence agency with his salt will ever talk to this guy.
	No, that's why he's a guest speaker.
	Soon to be Al-Qaeda member.
	You watch.
	Former Terrorism Center Director Michael Leiter.
	And if the past is any indication, there will be news from this hearing.
	Yesterday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the U.S. terror threat may be at its highest since the 9-11 attacks.
	And another top intel official said Osama Bin Laden is no longer the nation's number one threat.
	No!
	Osama Bin Laden no longer the nation's number one threat.
	Sorry.
	Hit the wrong button.
	Let me try that again.
	Osama Bin Laden no longer the nation's number one threat.
	I think the pounding drums would be good after that.
	But I have to...
	Okay, I'll try it.
	That's what you don't have to do.
	Osama bin Laden no longer the number one threat to the nation.
	Next, Geraldo.
	...moves to Anwar al-Awlaki, the English-speaking cleric.
	English-speaking cleric.
	This is great.
	He's American.
	American.
	He's American.
	In Yemen.
	I actually consider al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula with Awlaki as a leader within that organization probably the most significant risk to the U.S. homeland.
	Right.
	I love the little...
	Joining us live from Capitol Hill is a former FBI agent and chairman of the Intelligence Committee in the House, Republican Congressman Mike Rogers, and the committee's ranking Democrat, Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger.
	Gentlemen, welcome to you both.
	Thanks for being with us.
	Thanks for having us.
	Good morning.
	Let's talk about some of the headlines we just got yesterday.
	I think some people may be surprised to hear that Osama bin Laden, in the view of Michael Leiter, is not public enemy number one.
	It's Anwar al-Awlaki.
	Do you agree with that assessment?
	Do you expect to hear that from the other intelligence officials?
	And explain why.
	I love this.
	This is so stupid.
	Well, this is marketing, John.
	If you want to know what marketing is, you get some former FBI guy.
	I mean, you have to get an expert, so a former person, expert.
	It's the same whether you're selling Monsanto frost-proof tomatoes or whether you're selling Anwar al-Awlaki, the English-speaking al-Qaeda leader in Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula.com.
	It's the same technique.
	And this is exactly what's happening.
	So what do you think they're going to say?
	Well, let's listen in.
	Well, I do believe that it's a little bit subjective, but al-Qaeda is clearly a threat.
	And what we've found is the merging of certain al-Qaeda elements, the al-Qaeda in the Maghreb, the al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, and Osama bin Laden's...
	Osama bin Laden's...
	Osama bin Laden's...
	The guy can't even say it.
	Osama bin Laden's...
	What's the al-Qaeda in Maghreb?
	That's a new one to me.
	Maghreb, I don't know.
	He said Maghreb.
	Well, Maghreb, yeah, Maghreb.
	And the LGBTAQ. Area in Afghanistan and Pakistan altogether is the single greatest threat.
	And personalities are going to rise and fall in that organization.
	That's the point.
	Personalities are going to rise and fall.
	What are we doing here?
	Well, so personalities will rise and fall because we just have to put in a new face.
	You know, from time to time we've got to freshen it up a bit.
	It's like MTV used to do.
	Bring in some new VJs.
	Get rid of that Osama guy.
	He's dead anyway.
	We'll call it the English-speaking one.
	We can't catch him.
	But the organization itself poses that serious threat.
	Congressman Ruppersberger, I imagine one of the questions you guys may have is, okay, if Yemen and Al-Alaqwi is the number one threat right now to the United States, what does that mean for our resources?
	How should U.S. administration resources, you know, when it was Afghanistan, we moved a ton of resources there.
	Do we have enough resources on the ground dealing with this?
	Does this threaten Yemen?
	Clearly the best defense against terrorism is intelligence, and it's extremely important that we continue to give the resources to all of our intelligence agencies.
	As far as the Yemen issue, Yemen is a place where al-Qaeda has a safe haven, where they can train, and where they can do what they're attempting to do.
	What are they attempting to do?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Take over the world?
	My concern is the homeland, and I think that what Leiter said yesterday is very relevant and important because Anwar al-Awlaki is American.
	He understands our way.
	What?
	Anwar al-Awlaki?
	Anwar al-Awlaki.
	He said it, though.
	He said Anwar al-Awlaki.
	He also said Osama bin Laden's.
	The guy's on drugs.
	But he's also, he does say though, he's American.
	It's the first time I've actually heard someone admit it.
	He's American.
	He's recruiting and using all of the social media to recruit ingrown terrorists.
	Social media!
	It's like, let me just tweet something.
	Hey, want to blow something up?
	Here's my tweet.
	Hey, you want to blow something up?
	The radicalization of the American public by this idiot.
	Retweet for radicalization.
	How dumb do they think the public is?
	This is like insulting.
	Everything we've been playing for the last 10 or 15 minutes is insulting to the American public.
	They're assuming that everybody's a bunch of idiots, that at the drop of a hat will become radicalized, and they give a crap about this joker, who's obviously a stooge for somebody...
	And where Alolaki, Salaki, whatever the hell his name is, this is really insulting.
	Yeah, of course it is.
	But that's what they do.
	But it's no more or less insulting than that whole speech at the Super Bowl.
	It's insulting.
	It's all insulting.
	Because I think, you know what, John?
	We deserve no better.
	For centuries and centuries, the elites have ruled the plebs.
	Right?
	And eventually we kind of started to stand up and say, hey, screw you, and we had revolutions, and in France we chopped some people's heads off, and then the elites went, well, you know what, maybe we should do this a little differently.
	We'll just mind control them.
	Television, yeah, this is really good.
	And so they just keep pumping this at us.
	It's so hard.
	I have a hard time sometimes going out in public because it's just so tiring because we spend all of our time helping people understand the truth on the show and then I go out and just want to have a glass of wine and chill out and laugh a little bit and then I hear people say things like, oh jeez.
	Oh, please.
	I actually, and Mickey will look at me, so he'll go like, shut up.
	Don't.
	Shut up.
	I know, you hear it all the time.
	In fact, when a debate breaks out nearby, they're all saying, well, I think that we had one in the office the other day.
	Oh, jeez.
	About high-speed rail.
	Oh, woo-woo.
	And these guys were going on and on about high-speed rail and how great it's going to be to get to L.A. in two hours and all this.
	And I'm thinking, none of these guys ever go to L.A. now!
	Ha!
	Why are they going to go on a high-speed rail?
	So what I tend to do is I tend to turn the conversation towards the anal pap smear.
	That usually stops everything dead in its tracks.
	Hey, high-speed rail, this is great.
	Hey, did you get your anal pap smear yet?
	And people go, what?
	I say, yeah, man.
	You got to get your Gardazil.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	No, it's sad.
	And I just wonder, you know, the riots in Egypt.
	I'm sorry.
	Uprising in Egypt.
	It was partially because of the imported wheat and the flour prices went skyrocket.
	It was a food riot, essentially.
	A food and jobs riot.
	And I just wonder if we have any chance whatsoever of having anything like that happen here.
	No.
	This is it.
	I'm so sad, you know.
	Well, I don't want to see a food riot.
	Well, if we're hungry.
	Well, we're not hungry.
	That's the point.
	We're not going to have a food riot.
	Nobody cares about the government.
	We'll be taxed to death.
	That's probably going to happen.
	Nobody seems to care about that.
	In fact, a whole group of the whole sub-segment.
	This has always killed me for the last 50 years.
	When I was a little kid, the whole sub-segment of the public wants higher taxes.
	They keep saying, oh, I think the taxes should go up.
	What are you, crazy?
	Who says that?
	Mind-controlled slaves say that.
	I mean, who says the taxes should go up?
	Yeah.
	Oh, well, you know, we're in debt.
	We've got to raise taxes.
	What?
	No, we don't.
	I had a friend, he still is my friend, Ben Cohen.
	He had a couple of small restaurants in Amsterdam.
	He got really screwed by the tax people at a certain point, probably justified.
	But I'll never forget, I was much, much younger, like 20, and he was older.
	He's from Israel.
	And I remember when Bush Sr.
	got elected president.
	I'm like, eh, he seems like a nice guy.
	And then he laid into me, and I didn't get it at the time.
	He's like, these guys are crooks.
	He's the biggest oil guy in the world.
	It's all about oil.
	I'm like, whatever, Ben.
	You're from the desert, man.
	Shut up.
	But now I'm just seeing it.
	But now I'm like, oh, you know, it's all so true.
	And everything is so, we're such little people.
	Such unimportant little, we mean nothing to them.
	We absolutely mean, and Clinton, Bush, Obama, we mean nothing to them.
	And you get this Hosni Mubarak, Mubarak, you got to say it right to sound, if you want to sound credible, you get Israel and Mubarak.
	Tahir.
	By the way, you notice that Liberation Square pretty quickly went back to Tahir.
	Did you notice that shift?
	It goes back and forth.
	No, they're not saying Liberation anymore.
	No, no, no, no.
	They got rid of that really quickly.
	Because they were trying to connect it to Tiananmen Square.
	Because it kind of sounds...
	Tahir, Tiananmen.
	Kind of sounds the same.
	Yeah, I think so.
	Maybe.
	There's like 50,000 people there.
	Yeah, big deal.
	And we've got a hero who immediately got kicked out of Google.
	Yeah, he's on leave of absence.
	Yeah.
	Wild Gonim.
	And who tweeted, by the way, wait for my book, Revolution 2.0.
	Oh, please.
	Yeah, so the CNN had an exclusive interview with him.
	Have you seen this guy?
	Did you see the interview?
	I've seen him.
	He's a douchebag.
	But they're saying he's the face of the revolution.
	He did it.
	And this guy, he's sitting there like, Revolution 2.0.
	Yeah, we planned it this way.
	We used the internet.
	Bullcrap!
	Total bullcrap.
	Bullcrap!
	I mean...
	It's a nice myth.
	Jeez.
	It really is.
	So, you know, the other thing that came up in the conversation in the fallout of all this is Mubarak's billions.
	Yeah, the 70 billion that's in the UK, not Switzerland.
	What a joke.
	That's the thing that I was...
	and by the way, why would the Swiss ever say, well, we're looking into it, we're going to freeze all his accounts?
	Even Kevin the Blade, my intern, said that.
	He said, why would Switzerland do that?
	Wouldn't everyone be like, hey, wait a minute, get my money out of Switzerland if they're going to do that?
	I think it was planted propaganda I don't think I agree from putting their money in this to send it over to Switzerland because the Swiss are very they have their very, you know, kind of they have their very rigid rules about what they do.
	You give them the money, as long as it's not part of a criminal enterprise that's been proven to be a criminal enterprise, they are mum about it.
	Yeah, but notice there was no bank who said we're freezing his accounts.
	It was the government.
	Yeah, we'll take care of that.
	It's all frozen.
	Hey, hey, hey!
	No service for you!
	Yeah, no, that's bogus.
	Yeah, and his money is in...
	And nobody followed up on that story, on that bullcrap.
	No, immediately...
	Oh, that's right.
	Yeah, hey, Switzerland froze his assets.
	It's all in the UK. His sons set up...
	They were like...
	They had hedge funds in Britain.
	Notice Cameron is not up there going, yeah, yeah.
	No, he's not.
	He's like, shut up, man.
	That guy's got $70 billion in the banks here.
	We don't want him taking it out.
	They all live there.
	They all got houses there.
	Please.
	Britain's completely complicit in this.
	Completely.
	That's why Obama is like, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah, it's good.
	Get rid of this guy.
	Do whatever.
	Hey, change.
	We're as good.
	We got no money in our banks.
	We don't care.
	We've got no dog in the hunt, so to speak.
	No dog in the hunt.
	The other thing is there's another discrepant story that came out, and like I said, I think this Egypt story is boring, but it's interesting to deconstruct some of it.
	There were two parallel storylines about the day after Mubarak quit.
	One story was there was worse riots.
	They killed that one because it wasn't getting any traction.
	They had no pictures.
	The pictures were no good.
	Well, they had pictures.
	I saw some pictures that look pretty nasty, but who knows?
	This could be B-roll from a movie set, for all we know.
	Let me think.
	Wag the dog?
	And so they have, so they show, it was worse than before because they're really, you know, they don't want the military or whatever.
	They killed that storyline and went to the, ooh, the protesters are now cleaning up the plaza.
	And they show a bunch of people going on the statues and cleaning the pigeon shit off and scrubbing down the nose of the lion and all this stuff.
	So that's the storyline we're going to go with that one because the public seems to like that idea.
	Oh, it's real time.
	It's completely in real time.
	Like, okay, how's it going?
	Look at the ratings.
	Twist it a little bit.
	Pierce, Pierce, Pierce, no guests tonight.
	You're anchoring.
	The whole thing is made for television.
	And I'm telling you, they had to wrap it up before the Grammy Awards on Sunday.
	Absolutely, and they did.
	Wrap it up, people.
	Wrap it up.
	Today's the Grammy Awards.
	The whole thing's done.
	We've got the Grammys.
	Yep, we've got the Grammys.
	Wrap it up, people.
	Wrap it up.
	Okay, quick trip around Gitmo, just to give you a couple of headlines here.
	The White House is releasing...
	And this is crazy.
	What did that website cost again, John?
	That's...
	$88 million.
	No, I think it was $18 million.
	Oh, $18 million to do a website in Drupal.
	Yeah, and so now they're releasing their source code.
	They're giving back to the community.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Well, let's get it.
	Yeah.
	No, you can download it.
	We've got a couple of Drupal guys out there that will help us.
	We can do an exact clone of the website.
	And he can cost it out.
	The guy can cost it out.
	One guy could do this.
	$18 million.
	Oh, easy.
	Easy.
	So, a link in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
	Show notes outstanding again, by the way.
	There's so much news all categorized, and we're building that out.
	That's all a part of what you get for your giving and your sincere, heartfelt donations to the show.
	Yeah, we really appreciate it.
	And we need to continue getting these donations.
	And we also missed out on a couple of things.
	We missed out on the Valentine's Day gimmick.
	We could have gone with that.
	Yeah, but that's your fault.
	I have a clip here, which is another thing we kind of missed out on, but we can kind of like encourage it because we still have a couple days left.
	Play 11-11-11, baby.
	Apparently, a lot of people are asking how they can have a baby on November 11th so that the birthday would be 11-11-11.
	Stop whacking off in your cubicle.
	That would be a good start.
	A leading fertility expert says the best day to make that baby is February 18th.
	But Valentine's Day could also work some magic for you, too, if you're thinking about it.
	And he also says forget some myths like eating certain foods.
	That doesn't work.
	Like Monsanto tomatoes.
	So February 18th, which is coming up, people can be...
	Having sex.
	Thinking of us.
	Having sex and having an 11-11-11-11 baby.
	Thinking of Adam and John having sex.
	It's a perfect combination.
	Gibbonation Lowlands, they now have DNA spray installations in neighborhoods.
	What?
	Yeah, so if you...
	Let me pull up the...
	Pull up the article here.
	I've heard about this, but now there's actually an English report about this.
	So, several residents in an area of Gitmo Nation Lowlands received a letter.
	This is translated...
	Dear resident, to reduce the number of holdups, the shopping streets in the West will be equipped with DNA spray installations from January 2011 onwards.
	The DNA spray is an extra means next to the camera surveillance which District West has installed in effort to improve the safety in their shopping area.
	So what happens is, and there's even signs, area protected by DNA spray.
	What?
	DNA spray.
	What does this even mean?
	So if, here it is, procedure is simple.
	During a holdup, a nebula of invisible liquid with the synthetic DNA code is spread in the space.
	The liquid attaches itself to the clothes and skin of the perpetrator and cannot simply be washed off.
	DNA spray is practically invisible to the human eye but lights up under UV light on CSI Miami.
	Suspects with traces of DNA spray are easily traceable to the scene of the crime for the police.
	How cool is that?
	That's the biggest Gitmo thing I've ever heard of.
	So you're just walking around and we'll just spray some stuff on this guy in case we need to catch him later.
	We can always prove he was there because we sprayed him with DNA. It's pretty heavy.
	Wait a minute.
	Are you telling me that they're just randomly spraying this stuff in certain areas for some reason?
	Yeah.
	Does the DNA have time codes on it?
	Does it last forever?
	I mean, what if it's five years from now?
	You can't easily wash it off.
	Yeah, but that's great.
	That means five years from now, they blast me and say, well, we just sprayed this stuff last week.
	No, you sprayed it five years ago.
	No, no, it's still there.
	It can't wash it off.
	I mean, this doesn't make any...
	There's something wrong with this picture.
	Well, this is what it is.
	There's a piece of information.
	Listen to it.
	No, this is what it is.
	Before it's a crime, it's pre-crime.
	It's what it is.
	No, there's nothing missing.
	There's nothing missing.
	Now, this is in Holland?
	This is in Holland.
	It's crazy there, man.
	People think they're free and liberated in Holland.
	They're the most suppressed slaves in the world.
	Well, they sure...
	Yeah, it's crazy.
	Gitmo Nation down under, car rental companies tracking travelers with GPS devices.
	Just a little setup to get you used to it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Gitmo Nation stinky, Harry.
	Now, you know what, by the way, you know what one of the reasons besides the tracking?
	Huh?
	Is they going to use that against you because if you read the contract, which nobody will read...
	Yeah, it's that you were speeding.
	Yeah, and they'll charge you for speeding.
	Extra.
	I know.
	That's horrible.
	But it's just to get you used to having it in your own personal car.
	It'll be very normal.
	Very normal soon.
	Give My Nation Stinky Herring, which is Denmark.
	So two things happening there are very interesting.
	One is the Prime Minister is saying, hey, we should have a referendum about this Euro thing.
	We might want to step out, which I think is very good, very mature.
	But that's the Prime Minister.
	Meanwhile, the Finance Minister is saying, well, in order to do that, we need to go to a 48-hour work week.
	Yeah, really.
	Where's the logic in that commentary?
	Well, what do you mean?
	It's like, we gotta jack up our productivity.
	48-hour work week.
	Like, what are we, napping for humanity there?
	I don't know, man.
	I don't know.
	This is crazy.
	Everyone's crazy.
	The women of Italia are holding anti-Borosconi demonstrations at Gibbon Nation Pasta.
	They are very angry, but they are still doing the wrong thing.
	They're throwing underwear, which is dumb.
	As you pointed out, John, it has no reach, no distance.
	It should be shoes.
	Yeah, you had to put a rock in the underwear.
	How about just pumps?
	Throw your pumps at the guy.
	If you really want to make an impact, and that would be funny and cool, we'd have something to talk about.
	Gitmo Nation East, Southampton's tap water now to be fluoridated.
	Guess you were getting too uppity there, you slaves.
	So we're going to fluoridate you to bring you down a little bit.
	But something else very crazy is happening.
	I should have brought this up during the porn conversation.
	Thousands of people around the UK were sent letters from a law firm Who are saying, okay, we tracked your IP address, you downloaded this porn movie, which was copyrighted, even though it's gone free, according to Joy Behar.
	So either we take you to court and embarrass you for downloading this porn movie, or you can buy it off with a 495 pound fee.
	How is this not extortion?
	It's exactly what it is, is extortion.
	And this is where it's all headed.
	Because this is how it works.
	So, we've all fought so hard against copyright, you know, overbearing copyright law, and now it's going to be, hey, you downloaded this song, either you come and fight it in court at great expense, which you'll probably lose, or just pay us $1,000 now, and it'll go away.
	This is the new normal.
	Just to bring up another meme.
	Well, the RIAA has been kind of doing this.
	But to do it with porn is crazy.
	Well, it makes it easier.
	Of course!
	They started to fight the RIAA, and some people have been winning, and so it's been like, oh, this isn't working.
	Exactly.
	So what else?
	Well, they're not going to fight porn so much because it will embarrass them that they downloaded the porn in the first place, even if they didn't.
	Exactly.
	That's exactly what's going to happen.
	And you should fight it.
	You should be proud.
	Say, yeah, I downloaded that porn.
	I'm part of the 500%.
	Let me see...
	Any 33s?
	Yeah, we do have some magic numbers.
	Hold on.
	Got those.
	33 Senate seats will be on the ballot for 2012.
	33 recruits martyred in suicide hit.
	What was that?
	Huh.
	Yeah, nothing really good this week.
	Where were the 33 guys killed?
	Mardon?
	Mardon.
	Mardon.
	Is that...
	Let me see.
	Mardon.
	I don't know where Mardan is.
	Oh, it's Pakistan.
	Oh, that's code.
	Yeah, of course it's code.
	But nothing as good as the Microsoft 33 holes plug.
	That was too genius.
	That was just beautiful.
	I do have...
	We had something in China.
	No.
	We did Lowlands.
	We had Jewelry.
	No, I think that's kind of it.
	I mean, there's tons of stuff in the links, the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
	I mean, what was it?
	Oh, yeah, the World Health Organization, more of the neo-prohibitionist movement, came out with...
	Alcohol kills more than AIDS, tuberculosis, and violence.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	How does that work?
	Yeah, according to the World Violence.
	Really?
	Well, this is a Reuters report.
	I can read it verbatim for you.
	Alcohol causes nearly 4% of deaths worldwide, more than AIDS, tuberculosis, or violence, the World Health Organization warned on Friday.
	That's that crazy woman.
	Rising incomes have triggered more drinking in heavily populated countries.
	Really?
	Mine ain't rising.
	No wonder I'm not drunk enough.
	Worldwide, about 11% of drinkers have weekly heavy episodic drinking occasions with men outnumbering women by 4 to 1.
	Yeah, and of course this is that crazy Cho woman from the World Health Organization.
	Anything to just propagate her agenda.
	Anything at all.
	It has to propagate the alcoholism vaccine.
	Yes.
	Oh, which is coming.
	And we would be remiss if we didn't mention that the boss head honcho of the International Monetary Fund, who, by the way, are now once again calling for the fourth round of bailouts of Greece.
	The fourth.
	The fourth round.
	So that's underreported.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's the fourth round, and they're going to be selling off more pieces of the country.
	Actual land they're selling for the bailouts.
	Yeah, islands.
	More islands for sale.
	Hmm.
	The IMF boss says, once again, we need a global currency.
	And he's again mentioning the SDR, which we've been tracking ever since we started this show.
	The special drawing rights.
	This is Dominic Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the IMF, International Monetary Fund.
	Called again for a new world currency.
	God, I love that.
	This is an actual Reuters report.
	New world currency.
	That would challenge the dominance of the dollar and help curb future financial instability.
	They really want it all, don't they?
	Just want it all.
	So, don't say we didn't tell you.
	Now, of course, if you're listening to Alex Jones, he'll tell you to buy gold and silver.
	We, on the other hand, just tell you to take it.
	Take it like a man.
	Take it like a man, everybody.
	We just tell people to try to understand what's going on and they'll be a lot more relaxed and they'll live longer.
	And they'll take the media for what it is, which is...
	Not much.
	I did run into one crazy, typical bogus media story I might as well run at the end here.
	I'm sorry.
	Do you want to run it as an end of show clip?
	No, no.
	It's just shorty.
	Let's do it now.
	Let's do it now.
	Sure.
	3D what?
	Oh my goodness.
	Okay.
	3D what?
	There wasn't enough space in Westminster Abbey for all the extra cameras that you'd need to pull off a 3D broadcast.
	The wedding is set for April 29th.
	Oh, right.
	This is the royal wedding.
	They're going to do it in 3D? There's not enough room in the Westminster Abbey?
	Please.
	Wait a minute.
	It's the same camera.
	You don't need 35,000 cameras to shoot something in 3D. You just need a special lens nowadays.
	What is this crazy?
	While we're on, I do have one disturbing piece of news which came in today.
	Health officials in Los Angeles County, it's where I live, Are investigating dozens of reports of respiratory illness by people who attended a fundraising event at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion earlier this month.
	It was part of the annual DomainFest Global Conference attended by hundreds of internet professionals from 30 countries.
	The week-long conference was held at the Santa Monica Hotel, where all these conferences are held, but the wrap party took place at Hefner's mansion.
	Within 24 hours after leaving the mansion, scores of attendees reported coming down with symptoms that included fever, respiratory problems, and violent headaches.
	Legionnaire's disease.
	No, dude.
	Chip implants.
	It's so obvious.
	It's so obvious what's going on there.
	Like, hey, come over here.
	Yeah, the girls will take care of you.
	Ow!
	What are you hitting in the head for?
	No, nothing, honey.
	I'm sorry.
	It's all internet guys.
	They're all programmed now.
	MKUltra there at Heff's Place.
	Internet guys.
	How come we weren't invited?
	Be happy!
	Yeah, I am now.
	I'm not going to anything.
	I'm staying home.
	We'd be total fools and be like, hey baby, how you doing?
	Ow!
	What?
	Ow!
	Yeah, I got a headache.
	I wonder why.
	They've all been MKUltra.
	All right, everybody.
	Thank you so much for showing up.
	And remember, we need your support for this program.
	It's been downhill ever since Christmas.
	Now, I understand that it's hard, hard times for everybody, but that we're not excluded.
	And just you boners out there, become donors.
	That'll help, even if you're on the 11-11 program.
	And more executive producers...
	We'll talk to you again on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
