	Bradley Manning does not exist.
	I just don't believe it.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, March 6, 2011.
	Time for Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 284.
	This is No Agenda.
	Coming to you live from Curry's Corner here at the Hilltop Watchtower at Crackpot Command Center in the Nation West.
	The People's Republic of Southern California in the morning.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And sitting on the hill here in northern Silicon Valley where it's drizzling, sprinkling, I don't know what it's doing, but I don't like it.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	And in the morning to you, Jim.
	In the morning to you.
	And in the morning to all ships at sea.
	And the boots on the ground.
	And all those other folks who are...
	All those other things that you like to go on about.
	I didn't do it last time.
	Hey, everyone in the chat room, good in the morning to you.
	Everyone who is charged up and ready to go.
	Fine human resources worth $9.1 million.
	Exactly the way the government loves you at NoAgendaStream.com.
	We do it live Thursday and Sunday mornings.
	Early morning service.
	So you told me off the air that Bieber has stolen the ITM meme.
	It's not necessarily Bieber.
	It's a Bieber thing.
	It's like teenagers.
	It's like in teenage memory.
	I don't know.
	It's something weird.
	ITM? Yeah, we had that ITM hashtag and all of a sudden it's like trending.
	We were trending.
	I'm like, oh, we're trending.
	And then it turns out that it's like some Bieber thing.
	So somebody ripped off the ITM hashtag and now they're using it as their own.
	They've co-opted it.
	Wow.
	Well, you know, that's probably the CIA. These guys are getting too popular.
	Quick.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	Get your kids to hijack it.
	It's the CIA. They're all over us.
	They are all over us, dude.
	Hey, I noticed something really interesting.
	In the discourse of the disinformation of the mainstream media, we suddenly, somewhere between...
	It's kind of started around Thursday's show when I started noticing it.
	We've moved from the uprising in Libya to rebels in Libya.
	This is new.
	Now all you hear about is rebels.
	Rebel this, rebel forces.
	I mean, this is not the same as Egypt or Tunisia.
	This is something new.
	I'm sorry.
	What, you weren't paying attention to what I just said?
	Well, I was, kind of, but then I realized that I wasn't.
	Have you ever done that, by the way?
	Not during the show.
	Bull crap.
	I'll repeat it then for those of you who missed it.
	Damn.
	The mainstream media has gone from reporting on the uprising in Libya to rebels and rebel forces.
	And this is a dramatic shift.
	I'm slightly annoyed that I didn't pick up on this.
	This, I think, is what's bothering me.
	Well, it's huge now.
	And now, of course, they're going from rebel forces to possible civil war.
	Yeah, well, the civil war meme, they started up pretty early on.
	But the one I'm getting a kick out of is the fact that now O'Dofi...
	I like Odafi.
	Odafi has decided to...
	He's fighting back and maybe winning.
	No, no, wait.
	There's evidence of it.
	I mean, it's almost as though the guy could...
	Unless we do something and we're not going to do anything except saber rattle.
	It's almost as though somebody set this whole thing up behind the scenes as a way to embarrass Obama because he couldn't commit, then he committed, then he says you've got to get out.
	There's gambling going on over there?
	No.
	I'm telling you, this whole thing is like twisted.
	But of course, the mainstream media has to call it differently because we have not seen uprising and angry slaves in Tunisia and Egypt with RPGs.
	These guys, they're armed to the hilt.
	They've got rocket-propelled grenades.
	Like, okay, so yeah, so what is going on?
	The jackals are in, of course.
	Of course.
	And I saw this phenomenal article which just made me laugh.
	I'm like, oh, you guys, whoever wrote this should really be listening to this show.
	Let me see if I can find out who wrote it.
	The question was, why is this not happening in Syria?
	Because they've got no oil in Syria, you doofuses!
	Yeah, no, there's no oil in Syria.
	It's a known fact.
	And the Syrians have always...
	I was sitting next to a rich Arab once on a first-class flight, and he was loaded.
	I mean, this guy was just wearing his money.
	And out of the blue...
	In fact, I talked to some people in the Middle East about this later, this experience.
	And they said, wow, this guy must have really trusted you to even say this.
	But the guy says to me, he says, ah, the Syrians, they got nothing there.
	It's a poor, dirt poor country, and they're behind all the terrorism in the world.
	They're either part of it or they got something to do with it.
	This is pre-Al Qaeda.
	And he says they have to do that.
	They're kind of like a bunch of thugs, and the only way they can stay together as a country is that they have to – they basically pull – they're extortionists.
	And they say, we're not going to do anything.
	Just give us money.
	So they just essentially extort the entire Arab region.
	and that's how they stay in business because they got nothing.
	The land is poor.
	There's no oil.
	It's just a dirt-poor hellhole.
	Well, they've got taco filling.
	Well, there you go.
	They could certainly sell some of that sand to Taco Bell.
	Silicon dioxide, my friend.
	I'm sorry, silicon dioxide.
	Yeah, but it's so obvious, once again, I mean, it's uber, uber obvious what's happening here.
	And so, yeah, saber rattling, whatever you want to call it, but it's so apparent that we're going to go in.
	And now there's multiple false flag events.
	I told you about the Dutch helicopter.
	They captured the crew and they're holding them hostage.
	Yeah, that was a good one.
	Well, I have...
	Now what?
	Now, this was a Marine helicopter from the Dutch Marines.
	And I know a lot of these guys.
	And they've been saying, dude, this is so messed up.
	And now it's like...
	And now they've released some audio tapes of the helicopter talking to...
	Air traffic control in Malta.
	All kinds of disinfo.
	Confusing.
	The helicopter crew was confused.
	Oh, we have to go to Libya?
	Like they hadn't been there.
	It's just complete disinformation.
	And we have the exact same template being applied in Gitmo Nation, East United Kingdom, where a special air services SAS unit has been captured.
	Of course, the UK sent consultants...
	I love it when they've got the consultants going.
	Military advisors and consultants going over to Libya to help advise the protesters.
	You mean the rebels.
	I'm sorry.
	I don't know what to call it now.
	And these guys have got 50mm guns.
	They've got anti-aircraft weapons.
	I mean, it's clearly, they've got the jackals in there.
	They're taking over.
	You know, O'Duffy didn't play ball.
	And he's out.
	They're going to get him out.
	And everyone's going to move.
	All the ships are ready.
	All the ships are at sea.
	We're going to move in.
	And I think the only thing that is questionable is how do we get out of Afghanistan as quickly as possible to be able to move our troops from Afghanistan to Libya?
	So they've got to come up with some kind of ruse.
	And I think we're seeing that.
	I think we're seeing, oh, this makes no sense.
	Let's get everyone out.
	Yeah, but we've been observing that on this show for about six months, and they still haven't come up with a good scheme.
	I do have a clip of...
	Of the propaganda ministry at CNN doing an absolute scripted discussion about the situation in Libya and Obama's dilemma.
	We can call this, it says bogus CNN propaganda on the clip, but it could be called, you know, Obama's dilemma.
	And you can almost see these people reading off a prompter as they go back and forth with this discussion.
	This is Wolf Blitzer and somebody who's unnamed.
	Was that the guy who was in front of the green screen during the first Gulf War?
	Wasn't that the guy?
	Look, I'm ducking!
	Here we go.
	Any more action that the Obama administration needs to step up and do, Wolf?
	Yeah, what I'm hearing is that the U.S. is ready to do a lot more, but they would like to see the international community get more directly involved international organizations, the Europeans, and certainly the Arab world and the Muslim world.
	They'd like to see some help coming in as well.
	But I think the President of the United States has made it clear to all of his...
	His aides, let's do whatever we can to help these refugees, but let's make sure that the whole world, the UN, international relief organizations, do all they can as well.
	The good news, and we heard this earlier from Nick Kristof, the Tunisians...
	Nick Kristof, by the way, is the guy who allegedly, he's from the New York Times, he allegedly inspired George Clooney to go to Sudan.
	That's what Clooney keeps saying.
	Like a negative.
	Yeah, you know, I kept reading these great Kristoff articles.
	I'm like, I've got to go help.
	So yeah, a total CIA connection there with Kristoff.
	Are doing a lot.
	The Egyptians are doing a lot, but there's so much more that has to be done.
	These people are in dire shape right now.
	You know, people look back, though, to Bosnia, 1993, for instance, and the international community did get together and did do something.
	So what's the difference then?
	Okay, stop.
	Now back this up again and listen to her question.
	She asked what the difference is.
	With Bosnia.
	And his answer is, his answer as to what the difference is, is there's a difference.
	Yeah.
	It's so lame.
	Oh, I'll back it up a second.
	Any more action that the Obama administration needs to step up and do?
	Yeah, what I'm hearing is that the U.S. is ready to do a lot more, but they would like to see the international community get more directly involved international organizations, the Europeans, and certainly the Arab world, the Muslim world.
	They'd like to see some help coming in as well.
	But I think the President of the United States has made it clear to all of his agencies His aides, let's do whatever we can to help these refugees, but let's make sure that the whole world, the UN international relief organizations, do all they can as well.
	The good news, and we heard this earlier from Nick Kristof, the Tunisians are doing a lot, the Egyptians are doing a lot, but there's so much more that has to be done.
	These people are in dire shape right now.
	You know, people look back, though, to Bosnia, 1993, for instance, and the international community did get together and did do something.
	So what's the difference then?
	You know, it was a different situation then, but it's weighing very heavily on President Obama.
	She went off script.
	Either that or he skipped a piece on the prompter.
	Just different.
	Shut up and stick this script.
	All right, now a potential crisis, a potential nightmare, the slaughter of thousands of people.
	If Qaddafi wants to fight till the bitter end, he's got the weapons to do that.
	He's got not only conventional weapons, he's got some mustard gas.
	Mustard gas?
	Where did this come into the picture?
	This hit me when I was watching this stuff come by.
	Mustard gas, of course.
	Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons on his own people.
	Remember, he killed all the Kurds, and that was another big reason to go in.
	Like, the guy is evil.
	I know, we need that meme back in play.
	We need some mustard gas, yeah.
	But of all the things mustard gas, you guys can go with a newer gas.
	Really?
	Get a little high tech.
	Yeah, come on.
	Really?
	Can't you update the script just a little bit?
	They pulled it out of the Wang computer, the script, playing douchebags.
	Yeah, indeed.
	We could have used anything but mustard gas.
	But it also kind of frames the Libyans as dust bunnies, as archaic dumb shits.
	I think that's what it's intended for.
	Yeah, you might be right there.
	That's good.
	But it's clear to show that he's an evil guy.
	And I'm just waiting for someone to say, we'll remember Saddam Hussein gassed his own people, the Kurds up there.
	I'm waiting for that.
	I can predict it right now you're going to hear that.
	He could do that if he really wants to do that.
	He could kill a lot of people.
	Yay!
	Yay for killing people!
	The President is saying to himself, well, what can we do?
	It's on my watch as President of the United States.
	What should we be doing?
	There are some in his administration and certainly in Congress who are saying, get that no-fly zone up and about.
	Start arming some of the opposition, the rebels, if you will.
	He's reluctant to take that step right now, and I think they're waiting to see what happens over the next few days.
	What surprises me is two things.
	I don't hear anyone anywhere saying, why are we bothering?
	Why?
	Let them go kill each other.
	Who cares?
	That's not in our constitution.
	We're supposed to go jump in and help everybody.
	And the way that's being proposed to help is by creating a no-fly zone that's code for shooting down jets and bombing anti-aircraft sites and radar sites.
	Here's when you know when it's going to happen.
	When they start talking about surgical strikes, then it's on.
	Yeah.
	Yes, sir.
	Then when I say, oh, we'll perform some surgical strikes, then you know it's on and it's happening.
	So we're just waiting for those two things, for the mustard gas usage and for the surgical strikes.
	That'll be code for it's on Blackwater, formerly known as Z, formerly known as Blackwater.
	Get your guys ready.
	We're going in.
	Yes, you know, Senator McCain is among those saying that we need to have a no-fly zone that is in place.
	But, you know, from my perspective, this is looking to be long, drawn-out, a protracted battle here.
	What do you think, Paul?
	Yeah, I think the Pentagon is very reluctant to go ahead with a no-fly zone.
	It's not just a no-fly zone.
	To fly some planes over the skies of Libya, you've got to first knock out their anti-aircraft capabilities, their radar.
	Oh, he's saying it.
	That's good.
	You don't want to endanger U.S. planes or NATO planes flying over.
	McCain makes the point, though, that if you were to announce a no-fly zone, Libyan pilots themselves would be deterred.
	They would stop flying because they don't want to be shot down out of the sky.
	And that's a risk.
	You know, who knows what the outcome would be.
	I know there's a serious debate going on, and I know that the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, they're not eager to get involved militarily right now.
	They've got two other wars that they're fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
	So I have another clue as to how this was scripted.
	Do you recall when, it was only a few weeks ago really, when we talked about Hillary Clinton removing the ambassador to Luxembourg?
	Do you remember that?
	No.
	Yeah, she was one of the top Obama donors.
	Oh, right, right, right, the party girl.
	Yeah, the party girl, exactly.
	So she was ambassador to Luxembourg.
	Now Luxembourg basically has one industry, banking.
	And so now we're getting the big news stories.
	Luxembourg at the heart of Qaddafi's finances.
	So all of his money there, of course, they call it a financial clearinghouse.
	So I think that this was scripted insofar that Hillary Clinton's like, look, we're going to go in.
	We've got the Glencore IPO on the way.
	We've got to get Libya.
	It's really good for everybody.
	I mean, all our oil companies are already in there.
	We've got to create a ruckus.
	Oh, crap, that bitch is in there.
	Oh, jeez.
	Alright, let's trump up some crazy charges that she's partying and we'll get her out.
	And I don't know if she's been replaced yet, but that would make so much sense because they need a shill there now that this is coming down to Luxembourg.
	Well, couldn't that woman have been a shill?
	No, no.
	She was a ditz.
	She was a party girl, probably.
	She was not on the Clinton camp, let's put it that way.
	This is a Clinton operation, as was Bosnia.
	And that's why the Bosnia meme was dropped into that piece, by the way.
	And this is also, if you read George Brzezinski's Global Chess Game...
	It's a big new Brzezinski's Global Chess Game.
	He literally talks about, you know, what we need is a giant global unrest in the Middle East and in Northern Africa.
	Yeah, you haven't brought that book up for a while.
	I think it needs to be in the book club.
	It should be on the book club, yeah.
	The book club knows about it.
	Because this is basically the blueprint, and I have to read it again myself because I've got to see what's next.
	Exactly.
	So we can just talk about it before it actually happens.
	If you buy into the idea that Zbigniew Brzezinski, who I think still two of his sons are in the Obama administration, and of course his daughter is on the Morning Joe, who's part of the Ministry of Truth, If you buy into that, then what is happening and what is now indeed being called for is something akin to a European Union of the Middle East.
	So it would be more like the Arabian Union.
	And this is exactly what the globalists want.
	This is what the New World Order is always called for.
	We have the North American Union, the European Union, then we have the Pacific Union.
	The Asia Pacific Union and we need the Middle East Union and up on top of that is where we got the trilateral commission and everybody runs the world and kumbaya we hold hands and tell each other secrets.
	Well, you know, the thing is, if this theory is correct, or if the playbook that you're seeing is a Clinton one, then it would make sense, my assertion, that Obama's being kind of left out to hang, like he's in, he's out, he's not saying anything about Gaddafi, then he's saying he has to be out.
	I mean, this is going to be a fiasco as far as he's concerned, because that's what the Clintons would want.
	Well, this is...
	So, guess who's propagating this meme, by the way?
	A Middle East without borders.
	What news organization would this come from, John?
	Well, if it was Reuters, it would be one of your keys.
	Even better than that.
	I don't know.
	New York Times?
	Al Jazeera.
	Oh, right.
	Al Jazeera, which is what Hillary is promoting as the best news source.
	Right.
	And, of course...
	Okay, well, that's even better.
	That starts to connect the dots.
	And that's, you know, funded by the Brits.
	Of course, we're too stupid to know that here.
	But yeah, that's funded by British intelligence at best.
	Do you think Hillary and Bill is working for British intelligence, MI6? No, I think they're working for Brzezinski, really.
	Somebody's working for somebody.
	Anyway, somebody's working for somebody because they need the money.
	But I think there's another plan afoot.
	Another plan, and I'm liking this one a lot because we haven't had one in a while, and we need to jack up the television ratings one way or another.
	another of course we know that uh many singers and performers such as mariah carey performed for one of odafi's sons odafi uh mariah carey now comes out saying she feels horrible and embarrassed about uh performing performing for uh the libyan leader's family and she pledges to raise money for human rights with a future single why don't you just give the money back Well, you know, that would suck, so she's not going to do that.
	Despite ignoring calls to donate the $1 million she reportedly received for the gig, Carrie promises that a future single, Save the Day, will raise money for human rights.
	Save the day, save the children.
	I feel a telethon coming on, John, don't you?
	Oh, yeah.
	We're overdue.
	We haven't had one for a couple years.
	Yes, it's a good one.
	And, of course, we'll have Nelly Furtado and Beyonce will be in there.
	I mean, everyone performed there, so everyone's guilty.
	So they all got to join in and hold hands and, hey, we've got to raise some money.
	We're not going to give the money back because, you know, we spent that over.
	That wouldn't be right.
	I mean, come on.
	I worked hard for that.
	I sang for 45 minutes.
	Crazy.
	So, yeah.
	This is a playbook.
	Complete playbook.
	Winning.
	Winning.
	Duh.
	Rhymes with winning.
	Anyone?
	Yeah, that would be us.
	Alright, just briefly, I think we should just talk about it for a second, about Sheen's Corner, which was announced to great fanfare yesterday.
	And of course, like idiots, we all sat down in front of Ustream.
	I sat down with...
	My first thing was like, hmm, interesting.
	Will Ustream hold out?
	Is this going to be the victorious secret of our age?
	I only saw like 100,000 viewers online.
	No, I got to 120.
	It peaked at about 120,000 and then it started to drop like a rock.
	And then by the time I left, which was, I mean, everyone just started bailing out.
	It was down to like the 95,000.
	I think it just kept falling.
	It was terrible.
	Well, my takeaway is this.
	This production is everything.
	If this doesn't prove to you that Hollywood is a big box of trickery and smoke and mirrors that can make any idiot look really good and be funny, then you're crazy.
	Because this is probably Charlie Sheen, and I've seen this behavior with people who are on top of their game.
	A following starts to build around you of ass-kissers and people who are, yeah, you're great and it's funny.
	You are hilarious!
	We know people like this, which is kind of frightening.
	More than a few, actually.
	Yes, and...
	And it's a very typical behavior.
	And I'm off the Charlie Sheen boat.
	I was giving the guy a real benefit of the doubt, but no, I'm sorry.
	He's nuts.
	I mean, not nuts, but it's just...
	He's on some trip.
	We have a Dutch expression, over the part of the tilt, which means that he's been hoisted up on top of the horse, but so far he fell off on the other side.
	It's kind of a good expression.
	That's a good one.
	Yeah, it's a real good one.
	If anyone could possibly pronounce it.
	Boom.
	So, there you go.
	Charlie Sheen.
	Sorry, dude.
	Sorry, dude.
	Loser.
	Duh.
	Sorry, dude.
	Oh, my goodness.
	See, they also did a hit piece on him in the New York Times.
	People should read it.
	It's quite interesting.
	About his wife.
	He's a wife beater.
	Well, that's not necessarily confirmed.
	He's not in jail, and I'm sure that if he actually was, he probably would have been convicted of it.
	Well, he was.
	If you read that piece carefully, there was a number of times where he pled no contest, pled guilty.
	Oh, really?
	And did some community service and some other things.
	I mean, just if you read the piece, it's an indictment.
	I mean, there's no question about it, and he wouldn't address it.
	Well, what the piece points out, and it's linked in the show notes, noagendashow.com, I think what the piece points out correctly is that in society in general, if a woman...
	Yeah, that's what the piece was about.
	If a woman is a, quote, gold digger or screws around or actually is a professional at having sex for money, that it's okay that she's beaten.
	And that's kind of a societal thing, which I think is indeed true in our society and obviously wrong.
	Yeah, I think it was an excellent and well-written piece, but it was a hit piece.
	But, you know, I couldn't disagree with it.
	It's like a hit piece that worked.
	Too much time taken up already.
	Indeed.
	Duh.
	Let's do our executive producers.
	We have a lot of them.
	Good.
	We had a good showing.
	Of course, then again, I just say that.
	Why do you say these things?
	I noticed that I hadn't.
	It slips out.
	You know, when I'm not watching C-SPAN, so you don't have to, and I think that part of the giving level that we see today, John, is because we did that work again.
	It's not always apparent how much work goes into watching incredibly boring crap, the stuff that journalists won't do, because they've got deadlines.
	They've got parties to go to.
	They've got White House parties to go to.
	But I've also listened to NPR in the car because I drive a lot more now being in Los Angeles in the Saab 93.
	Yeah, Saab 93.
	It's gay.
	And it is.
	It's a really gay car.
	It's a woman's car.
	Women love those old Saabs.
	Yeah.
	And it's silver, which is even worse.
	I'm surprised that the paint hasn't chipped off.
	No, no, the paint is beautiful.
	The bumpers are peeling.
	That's weird because silver paint is considered the worst paint.
	No, it's actually the bumpers are peeling a little bit, but not the paint job itself.
	That's actually quite good.
	I take care of it, though.
	You know, I wax it and everything.
	My neighbor's looking out.
	Oh, my God, he's waxing the salve again.
	You don't wax it.
	Yeah.
	No, I do.
	I've waxed it twice since I've had it.
	Yeah, of course.
	Really?
	Yeah, I've got to protect my investment, all $3,000 of it.
	Absolutely.
	So I'm listening to...
	Well, you just spent your money wisely.
	Well, yeah.
	Duh.
	Stop.
	So I'm listening to NPR and every single station, every single public radio station in the Los Angeles area, Was doing a donation drive.
	Oh, it's donation, man.
	They're talking about the giving.
	This is how they pitch it.
	No matter what your giving level, which I love that word, no matter what your giving level, you know you have to do it.
	They're going for the hard sell now.
	It's like, even if you agree or disagree with the funding coming from the government, you know what you have to do.
	They're really quite forceful about this.
	That Corporation for Public Broadcasting brings in billions, billions with a B. Oh, yeah.
	They were complaining because they're going to cut a half a billion out of their budget.
	Anyway, the point is that if you're going to do something...
	They take commercials.
	The money is better spent on the no agenda.
	You know what they've done?
	You know what is so smart about their model, about the scam that is National Public Radio?
	Because they only have sponsorships or advertising, whatever you want to call it, as the CEO of the CPB says herself...
	They have limited slots available.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and so what does that do?
	Because I know media buyers who buy radio, and I've talked to many of them when we first started podcasting, but they really wanted to figure out how to advertise and what they could charge, and of course there's no measurement like the Arbitron ratings, nothing that is effective enough to, and the audiences aren't big enough.
	But they're always sold out.
	So if you're always sold out, then what happens?
	The price goes up.
	So they've got a total lock on it.
	It's very, very smart.
	Smarter than we are.
	Yeah, smarter than we are, but we do our best.
	So let's name a couple of executive producers and four associate executive producers and four members of the 284 Club.
	Nice.
	Which is a good number, and I hope that people will...
	In fact, I'd like to I ask anyone who's a new listener who's just been listening to not even think about the lower stuff.
	Just join the 285 Club.
	Just do it next week.
	I think you'll feel better.
	We had a long letter.
	I'm now convinced.
	I got a long letter from one of our listeners saying, you know, it actually felt good to be giving.
	And I think it does feel good for a lot of people, and I think people need to do this for their own soul.
	Do you know what they asked me yesterday at Whole Foods?
	Because you know me, right, John?
	I give money to lots of people.
	Yes, he will give money.
	If a guy on the street asks you for money, you always give him a fiver.
	Right.
	Right.
	So I'm at Whole Foods because I had to do the shopping.
	And not because I love the prices at Whole Foods because they're exorbitant, but at least I can argue with the guys at the fish counter about when it came in and about the mercury level.
	And I feel a little bit better about what I'm buying over Ralph's.
	So it's like $164.
	For what?
	Just for groceries.
	How many bags?
	You got to go buy the bags.
	Four bags.
	That's too high.
	Yeah, of course it's too high.
	It's like killing me.
	Anyway, and then the girl, and clearly she was like a newbie.
	She said, can I ask you one thing?
	Well, yeah.
	Would you like to add a dollar on that to help save the entire planet?
	And I didn't hear it at first.
	I'm like, and you know, there's a line, right?
	There's a line there.
	I said, excuse me?
	She said, would you like to add on an extra dollar to help save the entire planet?
	I said, screw the planet!
	And the whole line is like, oh, they're aghast!
	They screwed the planet.
	The planet will be fine.
	It's the people who are going to die.
	Now, give me my receipt.
	And the people were horrified.
	I bet they were.
	You're in Whole Foods, for God's sake.
	I didn't want to help save the planet.
	This dollar, what are they asking for a dollar for?
	I don't know.
	They're probably just putting it in their coffers.
	What's it accounted for?
	I know.
	I wasn't even going to get into that.
	I'm just like, how?
	Oh, you should have at least asked.
	How dare you?
	It's like, no.
	But it just came out of my mouth.
	Screw the planet.
	Screw the planet.
	And you can see all these Hollywood house frows going, an audible gasp.
	What did he say?
	What's he doing here?
	My wife likes to go to Whole Foods and she wears a leather coat.
	And then she says she buys the meat from the meat counter because they do have beef.
	Good quality.
	I know she probably doesn't like me telling this.
	She wears a leather coat when she goes to Whole Foods and then she looks down the line of all the different checkers and finds the most...
	Dour lesbian she can find.
	And they're there at Whole Foods.
	Oh, there are bunches of them.
	And she gets in line there, and then she just brags about how great the meat is at Whole Foods.
	Isn't the meat great from that dead animal?
	Mmm, mmm, yum.
	Alright, anyway.
	Executive producership today.
	We're very, very proud of our...
	We've got a good group.
	We've got Robert Wilcher came in from Tampa, Florida.
	$666.66, which finishes up his knighthood.
	He'll be knighted in the show.
	Nice.
	We have an anonymous donor from Bridgewater, New Jersey with that $333.33.
	Is that the associate?
	And he...
	No, he'll be...
	We have...
	333 is a cutoff point for executive producers.
	We have two...
	We have one stand-alone, two executive producers, and then four associates.
	Gotcha.
	Let me just read about the Bridgewater guy.
	He's an anonymous donation.
	He says he's been a listener since number...
	Show one stream contributor, chat participant, but he's got a lot of bad karma.
	He's got...
	Mom's got cancer.
	His wife's getting transferred.
	His 12-year-old's a football assistant shooting up a jewelry store.
	My 14-year-old's being bounced from school.
	Uh...
	14-year-old friend is destroying, one of his friends or somebody destroyed his 41,000 song database and his truck's windshield is being smashed by a pebble.
	He could use some karma but doesn't believe it should, believes it should come of its own volition so that's why he gave us 333.33.
	I'm not, I looked up at the karma manual.
	And he says it can't be given or asked for.
	And in the karma manual on page 20, it definitely says you can ask for karma, but he doesn't want it.
	So, you know what?
	John, let's have a quick meeting.
	Hey, John, I think we should give this anonymous guy from Bridgewater, New Jerusalem, karma.
	What do you think?
	Well, I think we should, but he doesn't want it.
	Well, here it comes.
	No, it's good.
	It's good.
	I'm telling you.
	You've got karma.
	No, he doesn't want to ask for it, but we gave it to him.
	That's a big difference.
	Ah, okay.
	We gave it to him after the meeting.
	Will Lissak in Happy Valley, Oregon, who does the No Agenda Challenge coin, sent 33333 in, and he says, he's a student, he says, Also, my sister Christine told me your college science class has added a new learning objective, biodiversity.
	Yay, everybody!
	That's for the housewives out there.
	Sir Alan Asaf, Decatur, Georgia.
	John and Adam like to be a member of the 284 Club and thank Sir John Smith for moving me up to knighthood.
	Please send them a big dose of karma.
	Here we go.
	You've got karma.
	Hey, is Sir Alan, is he an Arab?
	I don't know if he is or not.
	He might be.
	I hope so.
	He might be Arabian in some sense.
	We call them A-Rabs here in America, John.
	Well, he's in Georgia.
	That's what they would call him.
	An A-Rab.
	Please send him a big dose of you who did that also.
	He says, also, all virtualization and admin engineers should visit his blogs, edgesiteunderthehood.com and zentrifuge.com.
	We'll put a link in the show notes.
	That's a good one.
	Zentrifuge.
	It's Z-E-N dash Trifuge.
	No, no.
	X-E-N. I'm sorry.
	X-E-N dash Trifuge dot com.
	He also visited his virtualization blog, WagTheReal, at WagTheReal.wordpress.com.
	Keep up the great work.
	Alain Asaf.
	Yeah, as in Alain, Local Area Network.
	Alain.
	Local Area Network.
	Get it?
	Sir Alain Asaf, the A-Rab.
	Thank you, Alain.
	We appreciate the support.
	He's a member of the 284 Club, of course.
	Yes, and an associate executive producer for today's show.
	Jewel...
	Oh, brother.
	Jewel Vandermeer.
	Yeah, Vandermeer.
	Jewel Vandermeer.
	Jules van der Meer, in the morning, long-time listener, first-time donor.
	Got that settled for it.
	I like first-time donors who come in at one of the clubs.
	I appreciate that.
	For keeping up the good work, and because of that, I feel linking up through social media with John, Sir Steven Pelsmacher, and George Vanderhorst without the proper donation.
	Could you please ring your karma bell?
	Yes, we can.
	Here it is.
	You've got karma.
	This is the magical third month of my company, Blauwater.
	B-L-A-W-W-A-T-E-R. And yes, I am a slave working for the mega yacht industry with my startup because of the housing crisis.
	I'm stuck with two houses and two mortgages to pay, so I guess what I did, quit my job and started my own company.
	Ha!
	I decided that with three kids and a lovely wife in this freak show world, it was about time to draw the line and only work with positive energy and take pride in what I do, bills or no bills.
	Good for you.
	Yeah, great.
	And where's he from, John?
	What's the name of the town?
	Vlissingen, Netherlands.
	Very good.
	Very close.
	Vlissingen.
	Vlissingen.
	Very good.
	We have another great...
	Anyway, he goes on.
	This must be interesting because he's working in this community of these giant mega yachts.
	Yeah, Russians.
	He probably knows a few Russians.
	I bet he does.
	Mark Martinet in Santa Monica, California, 284 Club.
	Hey, John and Adam, I'd like to request the title of techno expert in addition to producer after listening to Thursday's show.
	I'm pretty sure I'd do more for you and my company as a producer and tech support than any State Department techno expert would do.
	That refers to last week's show or last show, if anybody's interested.
	Someone also sent us a song, a techno expert song.
	I'll play that at the end of the show.
	It's kind of funny.
	They do work for the government, after all.
	Great show.
	I throw a virtual shoe at those worthless knuckleheads.
	Yes, indeed.
	Here's your virtual shoe.
	Whoa!
	Almost hit me.
	Nick Newell, another first-time donor.
	Bangkok, Thailand.
	Savatia.
	284 Club.
	Been enjoying the show for a while now, although I probably agree with only 60% of what you say, which is probably higher than most people.
	I love the way you say it.
	And certainly reduces the pain of a three-hour daily commute.
	Holy mackerel.
	Wow, what a commute, eh?
	A three-hour daily commute in and out of Bangkok.
	Well, that's why he's only going one mile.
	One mile an hour.
	If you've ever driven in Bangkok, that's what it is.
	You go one mile.
	It's ridiculous.
	All of Southeast Asia, it's horrible.
	I think if you review previous shows and donation levels, you'll find a correlation between the outlandishness of Adam's post-donation conspiracy input and the donation level, so don't hold back.
	Oh, thanks for encouraging him.
	I have one request.
	Please ask listeners to visit oneforruby.com with the number four, oneforruby.com.
	A very special child needs your support.
	Thanks, Nick.
	And finally, Sir Vernon White, or to be Sir Vernon White, in Pearl Land, Texas.
	He's also a member of the 284 Club, and that will close our executive and associate executive producers out for today's show.
	Thank you very much, everybody.
	And that's now their associate and 284s.
	That's it, right?
	Yeah.
	Okay, good.
	A couple of PR mentions.
	Some more domain names being sent our way to NoAgendaShow.com.
	NastyPoliticians.com redirecting to us.
	Majorfuckups.com.
	Interesting.
	Is that a good or a bad thing?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Google may penalize us for that one.
	Usehemp.com.
	Now, here's one that I thought would get us a lot of link love.
	And remember, this all points to our show site, noagendashow.com.
	Dutchescort.com, which is probably worth some real money.
	I would think.
	Penisprotesis.com.
	Herpesointment.com And smokecannabis.com All pointing out to noagendashow.com Penisprothesis.
	I'm sorry, prothesis, yes.
	What was the last one I missed?
	Cannabis something?
	Smokecannabis.com And then we have noagendavaccine.com And vaccinesforeverything.com That is very nice.
	DougNation.com, now being directed to NoAgendaShow.com.
	DroneNation.com as well, which I think is another good one.
	That's a good one.
	Assasetainment.com.
	Ooh, Assasetainment.
	Assasetainment, yeah.
	I'm liking what you guys are coming up with.
	And, of course, the crown jewel, GayAssPirates.com, which...
	It's another one that we really needed.
	And winding out the list, biodiversityfaq.com, biodiversitylies.com, and this is spelled properly, not Tay, but the real biodiversity, and biodiversitytruth.com.
	All of these are great PR initiatives, and you can read about the people who did those in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	And of course, thanks to our executive producer, Sir Robert Wilcher.
	We will be knighting him later today as our executive producer of episode 284.
	Also executive producer, Anonymous from New Jersey, who we rang the common bell for, and Will Lesak.
	And of course, this episode's associate executive producers and exclusive 284 Club members.
	The door's closed.
	You can't get in anymore.
	You can start getting in on the 285 Club for the next show.
	We thank you.
	It has a nice ring to it.
	285 Club, sure does.
	We thank Sir Alan Asaf, Jules Fundamere, and techno expert Mark Martinet, and Nick Newell, and Sir Vernon White.
	Your giving levels have been highly appreciated.
	It really pumps me up.
	Makes me feel alive, ready to kick everybody's ass and propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	World Order.
	Stay with me now.
	Shut up, slave.
	Hey, let me hit you right off the bat, John, with the fact that once again I feel vindicated for holding on to my gold.
	As you many times, we even had a conversation a few weeks ago where you said, oh no, everyone's saying it's going to go and it's going to go down.
	And what are we at?
	We're like $14.30 now on the gold price for an ounce of gold?
	Yeah, I discussed this with Horowitz.
	Oh, you didn't?
	Because it just shows that I'm right about this thing.
	You've got to hold on to it.
	And, in fact, there's a lot of gold in the news.
	Massive gold demand continues in China.
	Colombia, new gold rush fuels oil.
	Old conflict...
	Global mining production up everywhere.
	Apparently they haven't found all the gold.
	And it seems that there's still a lot of gold in the United States.
	There's a lot of gold in Africa.
	Of course there's a lot of gold in Africa.
	That's why the Chinese are there.
	And...
	Interesting to see that a couple of states, notably Utah, are now making their own currencies or attempting to pass bills to have their own currency, which is backed by gold and silver.
	I have a news clip here from Tennessee, from Nashville, as Tennessee is attempting to do the same thing, just in case, just in case on the outset, it could happen that the dollar becomes worthless.
	It's time for Tennessee to think about creating its own currency.
	Supporters say they want to be prepared in case the Federal Reserve System ever crumbles.
	Channel 4's Kara Kamari is here with that story.
	State Senator Bill Ketron says he believes the federal government is implementing many things that are not sustainable.
	And he wants to make sure Tennessee is prepared in case the bubble pops.
	That's why he wants to set up a committee to look into what it would take for Tennessee to come up with an alternate currency.
	He says there's concern hyperinflation could render the U.S. dollar worthless and could throw the state's budget and economy into chaos.
	Since the federal government hasn't come up with a backup plan, he thinks the state should exercise its 10th amendment right to do so.
	I'm not here saying that I'm chicken little and the sky is falling, but at the same time we must be prepared to think of how we are going to survive.
	Now, this is not an idea exclusive to Tennessee.
	Both Virginia and South Carolina have already set up committees to look into setting up their own currencies.
	So, is it too soon, I guess, to start wondering who's going to be on Tennessee's currency?
	You know, Phil Bredesen, Phil Haslam.
	That's a good crackpot and buzzkill should be on the currency.
	Are you kidding me?
	Are you kidding me?
	I wonder how long it'll be before somebody gets assassinated over this idea.
	Interesting.
	I don't think, I mean, whether it's going to be necessary or not, it can't be hurting the price of gold, these moves.
	I mean, it sounds to me like we've got at least five states doing this.
	Yeah, this is taking gold.
	Whatever it gets to, it's going to be an interesting fall because once you commit, you make your currency link to gold, which goes up and down in value.
	And as people put their $100 in the Tennessee $100 and then the gold price goes back to $900 or whatever, you've just been screwed out of a bunch of money in Tennessee dollars.
	You're really such a buzzkill on this, man.
	This will be the only thing we truly disagree upon, but since we started this show, I bought gold around $800, $850, and it's now $1430.
	Silver is, of course, much better.
	Lead has tripled in value.
	You could have bought lead.
	I'll tell you what, why don't we make bills in Tennessee based on lead?
	I'm not against that.
	Can you make lead yourself?
	So when you go to the bank and say, I want my money in lead, so they give you a couple tons of lead to put in your backyard.
	You're just being a jerk about it.
	No, I'm being honest.
	I'm being realistic about it.
	Is this too late?
	I'm thinking a move to Tennessee may be in order.
	Well, you know, I could do the show from Tennessee.
	I sure could.
	Start developing an accent, talking a little bit like this by the time we're done, you're going to be like, well, you know, you're a buzzkill and you should go back to California where all the weirdos live.
	All the weirdos live with them concrete swimming ponds.
	Right.
	Alright.
	I'm just saying, I have my recommendations for our listeners, and this is not financial advice.
	In fact, I'm the last person you want to take financial advice from.
	You've been on the gold bug bandwagon.
	You've done very well, and your predictions have worked out, and everything's fine, and I'm not going to say that you weren't right.
	Okay.
	But, you know, what goes up must come down.
	Here's a...
	I've got...
	This week, I want to...
	Or this show, I want to talk about some memes that I'm starting to spot coming all over the...
	Okay.
	Cropping up all over.
	Good.
	We like identifying these.
	Before we get into it, I do have one weird thing, which has got an advertisement that's got memes incorporated, and it's an advertisement for...
	This is an ad for that blue-tip fake cigarette.
	You mean the...
	Is it an e-cigarette?
	Yeah, the e-cigarette.
	Uh-huh.
	And they got a...
	The ad starts off with a bunch of people puffing away on the cigarette.
	Yum.
	But play it now.
	Go over.
	There's a meme in there.
	It's funny.
	Try doing that with a patch.
	It's not real smoke.
	Just water vapor.
	Crazy.
	I can finally relax without sucking in all those chemicals and tar.
	Forget nasty, smelly ashtrays.
	No more...
	Smelly hair and clothes.
	No secondhand smoke.
	So I can take a drag wherever I want.
	I can smoke in the bar, not have to go outside.
	I can even smoke in bed.
	This is a free country, right?
	No cigarette tax.
	Now I can finally start saving for once.
	I just charge it overnight, and it works all day.
	This is real, my friends.
	American Blue Tip, the hassle-free electronic alternative to smoking that looks, feels, and tastes just like the real thing.
	Call right now.
	We'll include the classic pocket case for ultra-convenience.
	So pick up the phone and call right now.
	Are you trying to sleep with someone who's not like a chainsaw?
	It could have been for a sex toy, that ad.
	It sounds like it was.
	And it's the free country, isn't it?
	I love that in there.
	And the woman who says I can smoke in bed is the hot blonde.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, well, what does that mean?
	What does that tell you?
	After you bang me, I can smoke in bed.
	But the thing is, there was a number of shots where the guys puffed and then out came...
	I know what water vapor looks like.
	It was not water vapor.
	There was actual smoke because water vapor dissipates a certain very distinctive way.
	And this lingered.
	I've had these e-cigarettes.
	They're kind of fun.
	But you OD on them real quick because you're usually going to suck really hard.
	And by the way, with all the corporate work I've been doing, I've been getting pretty good at that.
	Whoa!
	Hold on a second.
	Hi!
	But besides that, to get any kind of buzz, you've got to smoke a couple of them, and you can OD quite easily on nicotine.
	And you're like, hey!
	You get nauseous and dizzy.
	And you've got to plug it into your USB port, and it just takes away the whole coolness of smoking.
	Yeah, it seems to be kind of dubious.
	Water vapor.
	Yeah, it's funny.
	So the meme that I ran into, I ran into a couple of them, but the one that got me the most is...
	And it's funny, I started to watch the morning shows, you know, so people out there don't have to.
	The Today Show, Good Morning America, and the...
	Wow, are you like on a self-mutilation kick or something?
	Pretty much.
	Yeah, wow.
	And so all of a sudden, on all the shows at once, and then on the national news, and everywhere you go, there is a huge movement to deal with buying foreclosed homes.
	I mean, every show has got tips on how to do it, and they've got people coming on, the experts, and how the prices are going to go up, and now is the time, because we don't do it now.
	Oh yeah, this is the whole short sell thing, is that what this is?
	No, it's mostly about buying just straight-up foreclosures.
	You can buy a short-sell house, which is kind of pre-foreclosure.
	But just mainly to get the real estate market back in gear.
	They're trying to pump it, yeah.
	So someone made the call.
	Because, you know, Fannie and Freddie are about to be...
	Oh, that's in the meme.
	Oh, you've got to get in before they, because once they go out of business, the interest rates are going to skyrocket and you're never going to get these deals.
	And it's like every show has done this and it's like, is this the time to be doing this?
	I don't know.
	I mean, there's something up with that, but it's very common.
	We're going to see a lot more of it.
	Foreclosure Mania clip?
	Yeah, you can play that.
	Vegas, for example, two out of three homes are foreclosed.
	But what you have to realize, in many of the states, they have very low foreclosure rates.
	And in some of those states, the numbers are getting smaller and smaller.
	You seem to be optimistic.
	Is one of the reasons your optimistic interest rates remain low?
	Interest rates remain low, but they're not going to stay low for long.
	They're at a nice healthy 5% now.
	But if we have the demise, which is a lot of people are saying of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you can bet your bottom dollar that those rates...
	You can stop it.
	Bet your bottom dollar.
	Bet your bottom dollar.
	Who is this woman?
	Shill.
	Some expert.
	Whoop, whoop.
	Shill.
	Shill alert.
	Shill alert.
	So that's one meme I've been spawning, but the one I think that's more subtle is just starting the crop.
	Sorry.
	The one that's starting to crop up, and I think it's going to get a head of steam because I've seen it.
	The way it's been showing up, it shows up, I think, on the Napolitano show.
	It showed up on Huckabee, and it's starting to show up.
	I think I saw it on one of the liberal stations, too, and it's just starting to crop.
	This is my prediction.
	You're going to start seeing this more and more.
	The federal government owns so much land that they should be selling it to the public and to the states.
	The states need this land.
	That's code for the Russians.
	And they show these maps.
	Every one of them, they always show a map.
	And it's a map showing federally owned property.
	And they own like 90% of Nevada.
	They own about 50-60% of California, most of Washington and Oregon.
	And it's just like, you look at this map, it's like from the Mississippi River west, it's like the feds own most of the property.
	Right.
	And so this meme is going out there that they should be selling it to the public.
	Right.
	That makes no sense.
	To pay the bills to bring down the deficit.
	No, this is exactly what they did in Greece.
	It's just a mini version of it.
	Sell off your public land to the elites, because that's who's going to buy it.
	John, you and I are going to go out and buy some land?
	I don't think so.
	We don't have land money.
	Who has that?
	It's the elites.
	It's the Ted Turners of the world.
	Yes, yes, they're going to go buy it out.
	Buy lots of land.
	This is what we've been saying for years on this show.
	This is how it works.
	First they take away your money, then they come and take away your stuff.
	And our stuff is that land.
	It's this land is your land.
	This land is my land.
	And it's just like what's happening in Greece.
	By the way, did we talk about what they're doing in Greece, which I love?
	The best revolution is now just started, and it's not violent.
	Do you know what they're doing?
	The great human resources of the Grecian islands?
	They've entered into an I-won't-pay zone.
	Yeah.
	And this is great.
	Yeah, this is very funny.
	Toll collectors refuse to take your money.
	Cops are not writing tickets.
	I mean, that's how you bring it to a standstill.
	That's how you stop these asswads.
	It's just like, wouldn't that be great Wouldn't it be awesome if that just happened here?
	You know what?
	You've paid for that.
	You don't have to pay.
	We're not going to collect that money from you.
	Toll collectors would stop doing that.
	They wouldn't charge you for parking.
	There would be no more parking tickets.
	That would be something spectacular.
	That would really rock.
	We don't have the wherewithal in this country to do that.
	Well, maybe if Charlie Sheen asked everyone to do it.
	Maybe that.
	Duh.
	Okay, I have another meme, which needs to be discussed.
	Mimi actually came up with this one, and this is just beginning.
	That horrible woman from Whole Foods who talks about the meat?
	The meat woman.
	The crazy meat lady at Whole Foods.
	Wearing the leather.
	And as I have to say, she came up with a lot of links, which I'll send off for the show notes, but you're just starting to see it now.
	It's blaming everything on, not domestic terrorists, but domestic anarchists.
	Like us!
	Well, we're not anarchists because anarchists are, they proclaim to be anarchists and they throw bombs.
	And so now they're redefining a bunch of previous events.
	In fact, the Seattle, Washington area is where they have, you know, the anarchists have taken credit.
	There's one story in one of the papers about the anarchists saying, yeah, well, we're responsible for breaking all the windows at the police station.
	Woo!
	Cops were asked about this and said, what?
	We don't have any broken windows.
	What are you talking about?
	Apparently some of the anarchists didn't get the word or they didn't do their job.
	And other anarchists thought they did and so they took credit for stuff that didn't take place.
	But now they're starting to tie stuff back into, for example, there's an article in the New York Times which is headlined, Anarchist Ties Scene in 08 Bombing of Texas Governor's Mansion.
	So not just lone wolves anymore.
	No, these are organized anarchists.
	Well, it's interesting.
	Do you have a clip for that?
	Because I got something I'd like to play.
	No, I don't have any clips for the anarchists per se, but I'm just calling this right now as a trending meme that we're going to start seeing.
	Anarchy is trending, everybody.
	Put out the word.
	So I get this clip.
	This is a funny clip.
	We've discussed millennials many times in this program.
	The millennials are born around the 90s?
	Are those the millennials?
	Yes, they're right.
	Something like that.
	Like my daughter, you're 20.
	So they're 18 to 25, whatever.
	They're millennials.
	Or a little younger, even.
	And they have an inherent...
	Attitude that they should be getting everything.
	For free and they don't like to work.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So, in Wisconsin, of course, we've got all kinds of groups in there now.
	All kinds of crazies are popping up.
	Because, you know, you can get on TV. I think that's why they're all showing up there.
	And there's an organization called the ISO, which I think is the International Socialist Organization.
	So, there's this interview, I don't think it's a mainstream clip, which makes it even funnier, of this millennial being interviewed.
	And he said, I'm a socialist, and we really need to change things, and if we don't stand up for our rights, nothing's going to change.
	Now, he works at Noodles.
	Noodles, which I don't think is a national chain.
	It sounds to me like it's kind of a small outfit, this noodle.
	Am I wrong about that?
	Do you know of Noodles?
	I don't know.
	It might or might not be.
	I can look it up.
	I've never heard of it.
	It could be a semi-national chain, but it's Noodles.
	Now listen to the attitude this kid throws down on how it should be at Noodles because it ain't going the way he thinks it should be.
	Well, like I described earlier, there are two fundamental classes that are just a plain fact in society.
	You either work for someone else or you work for yourself.
	By the way, kid, that's called America.
	That's how we do it here.
	And the best thing is you try and start your own business.
	We used to be kind of open to doing that.
	Now listen to what his gripe is, John.
	Most people work for someone else in a way that they aren't free.
	You don't really get to decide your work.
	For example, I work at Noodles, a restaurant, and basically it's a dictatorship there.
	We're told exactly what we're going to cook, how we're going to cook it, what time we're going to get there.
	And basically, if they don't like what they're doing, they try to tell us what to do.
	If we don't listen, they get rid of us.
	And so...
	It's called having a job.
	Holy mackerel.
	This is a great clip.
	This isn't a clip of the day.
	Can you believe this crap?
	It's like, they tell us how to cook, tell us what time to get there, and if you don't, then you get fired.
	The nerve of them.
	We're not able to actually cooperate in a way that we make decisions together.
	I try to convince my fellow employees that we should have a union at Noodle's, so it's a source of power to start with.
	Ah, this is what's wrong.
	This is what's wrong.
	That's great.
	We need a source of power.
	Where did you get that clip?
	There's a whole bunch of you.
	I've got this noagendanewsnetwork.com, which is really rolling pretty well.
	Yeah, great.
	Where did that clip come from?
	From the noagendanewsnetwork.com.
	I mean, where did it originally come from?
	It wasn't the news network that was out interviewing this kid.
	Hold on a second.
	I can find it for you.
	We need more clips like that.
	That was good, wasn't it?
	Oh, yeah.
	I can't believe it, man.
	Like, they gave me some money, and then they told me what to do.
	I told them to shove it.
	And they told me how to cook, man.
	That's, like, not okay, all right?
	I don't know how to cook, but I don't need to be told.
	And noodles.
	So we got to have, like, a union of noodles.
	But the whole interview is so incredibly serious, which is kind of the frightening thing about it.
	It's just like, oh my god.
	It's in the show notes.
	I've got to find it.
	You know, Eddie at the Mevio office is a millennial.
	I really like this kid.
	But every once in a while I talk to him about the fact that he's working and he's always laughing about everything.
	I said, you're the only one in your group that works, right?
	He says, yeah.
	He says, the funny thing is he says he goes to work He leaves a group of guys, I guess he's living with a bunch of guys, or I don't know what, but he hangs out with a bunch of guys.
	First he gets up at 6 in the morning and surfs.
	Then he comes into work.
	He says, the only time he'll ever have to surf.
	And then he goes home.
	He says he gets home, and the guys that he left before he went to work are sitting there having done a damn thing.
	And who's paying for all that?
	I don't know.
	I guess he is.
	I have no idea.
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah.
	But I mean, how misguided is that?
	I mean...
	I blame the overall loss of manufacturing in this country, which doesn't give kids the opportunity to work in the summertime.
	When I was a kid...
	When I was a kid, I used to work every summer when I went through high school.
	I had a job somewhere.
	I did something.
	And when I was even younger than that, I had two paper routes.
	I didn't have one.
	I had two paper routes.
	I had a regular Oakland Tribune route and I had a shopper route.
	And then I worked every summer.
	And then during college, I worked every summer and I had various gimmicks to get better jobs.
	So I'd get paid a lot.
	And then...
	So I've always been working, and one time I was bitching about the kids in Port Townsend hanging around in the summertime, and I wrote an op-ed, it was years ago, in the San Francisco Examiner, bitching about these kids not doing anything, and this was like 20 years ago, and I got a whole bunch of letters from kids, do what?
	He says there's nothing to do.
	There's no jobs anywhere.
	He says there's no businesses that want to hire us.
	So what are we supposed to do?
	We just hang around.
	And it's created an entire generation of kids who don't know anything about work.
	They don't know how to take orders.
	So you're saying because we don't really have those jobs anymore...
	It's, uh, they don't do them.
	Because I did hard labor.
	I did, um, uh, I stacked firewood.
	But, you know, like in big orange bags, uh, filled with mahogany, which is like crazy heavy.
	It's something.
	Yeah, or painting, like, the gas station.
	I'd have to paint the tanks and stuff.
	I mean, you know, it's like...
	Yeah, you got to do stuff.
	There's stuff to do.
	There's nothing to do.
	These kids have nothing.
	There's no opportunities for them.
	I mean, you know, Eddie's job is basically watching videos all day.
	And that's like a job.
	It's nothing like these old jobs used to be.
	We used to have factories all over the place that always needed extra help.
	And I don't think it's just the loss of manufacturing in this country that's the problem.
	the social loss of manufacturing that's the problem it's not that we need to build stuff in this country yeah you can get a job at Boeing probably if you were an engineer but the fact of the matter is there's no so we don't socialize our kids to be into working they don't work and and thus they don't even thinking that they don't have enough experience work experience to know how to do entrepreneurial stuff well enough because they've never seen a business how it works and how people are or uh are managed because
	This kid is a perfect example.
	These people are telling me what to do.
	I don't get it.
	Why were they doing that?
	Yeah, we have to work together to figure out how to make noodles.
	It's disturbing.
	I think the sociology of the loss of manufacturing is more important than the actual loss of manufacturing.
	I think it should have been subsidized, even if we're taking a beating, because these kids, we have an entire generation or two generations of kids that don't know crap about working or being managed or following instructions or anything like that.
	They've been to school, now they're just bums.
	And what are we going to do about this, Dr.
	Dvorak?
	Nothing.
	We're doomed.
	We're doomed, right?
	It's all over.
	I was killed.
	Sorry, I mean, I could just observe.
	Nice little elitist thing that was noticed by one of our human resources.
	So you know we've got this insider trading scandal.
	Remember the Galleon Fund?
	This is the Indian guy Raj Rajav, whatever his name is.
	Rajat, Raj Rajat, something like that.
	So the way it went down is he was trading on the inside of Goldman Sachs deals, and he would get calls within one minute of, you know, like, oh, Warren Buffett's going to put $5 billion into the company.
	The guy gets a call, everyone invests, make out like bandits.
	So, you know, this trial is coming up.
	This guy will go to jail.
	Of course, we'll throw the poor Indian schmuck in jail.
	You know, all the elitist white guys will get away with murder.
	But someone noticed that this very guy, Raj...
	I might as well get his name now.
	Hold on.
	Raj...
	Maybe it's Rajiv.
	Hold on.
	Rajat Gupta.
	Gupta, that's Jones in India.
	I know, but his name is Rajat Gupta.
	He has been on several, and I have the list right here, several of the White House dinner lists.
	Mr.
	Rajat Gupta.
	I wonder if that will come up in questioning.
	So what did you talk about when you were there at the White House for the state dinner?
	We never get invited to this stuff.
	No, but we're not corrupt enough.
	However, Ted Rumsfeld has been doing the rounds.
	You know that's his name, right?
	Ted.
	Ted.
	Ted Rumsfeld.
	He's been doing the rounds, promoting his book.
	He's still on his...
	Do we know what his advance was?
	How many million dollars he got?
	Because he's doing a lot of crazy, horrible shows.
	Obviously in the millions, because that's what they...
	It's in the contract.
	He has to hit the road.
	Hard.
	Yeah.
	Nobody really wants to read Rumsfeld's book.
	And everyone who's read it says it's full of crap anyway.
	So he did the following on...
	And I don't even want to set it up.
	It's too funny to hear it again.
	This time it was on Bill O'Reilly, which I think you watch more than I do.
	I don't...
	I had a clip, but I... I like it when they have the milfy chick and the gay guy doing the quiz.
	That's always funny.
	I like that.
	That's funny, but actually the best part of the O'Reilly show...
	It's when he brings the body language expert in.
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, she hasn't been on in a while, I don't think.
	Have you seen her?
	He bumped her from the show a couple of shows ago.
	I was irked.
	An outrage.
	An outrage.
	Outrage.
	So Ted Rumsfeld is on the show and the topic of corruption comes up and I'm just floored by what he says.
	Sorry?
	I was going to say, and, this is not, he did this on about five different shows.
	Right, right, this is not the first time he did it, but this is a good one, because it's with O'Reilly, and O'Reilly doesn't go, what?
	Really?
	What?
	What?
	Are you kidding me?
	What do these guys prey on?
	Afghanistan, Obama doing the right thing?
	I have a lot of confidence in Patraeus.
	Patraeus?
	Yeah, I think he's a sensible man and a fine general officer.
	The reality is that country's going to have to nation-build itself.
	We can't nation-build another country.
	Give me odds of that happening.
	Everybody says the Afghan's just not going to do that.
	It's too corrupt, too backward.
	Oh, I hear that corrupt baloney.
	Listen, how many countries in the world are corrupt?
	That's not...
	Karzai, he's not corrupt.
	Baloney!
	Baloney!
	That's not corrupt.
	And now he does the most unthinkable thing.
	He's going to compare other countries' corruption levels, they're giving levels to the elites, to Afghanistan.
	Most of them have corruption.
	Look at the United States, huh?
	Thank you!
	Look at the United States.
	He is pointing out that the United States government is corrupt.
	How many congressmen have been sent to this letter?
	Yeah, but it's nothing on a scale of Afghanistan.
	Well, listen...
	Look at you, Ted Rumsfeld.
	Look at how you brought in aspartame into the world to kill all the children.
	Look at how...
	Ted Rumsfeld, you're the most corrupt guy in the world.
	How does this guy sleep at night?
	How does he sleep at night?
	The criticisms of Karzai, I think, are misplaced.
	You're a Karzai fan?
	You like him?
	I think it's been very unwise.
	He's been elected leader of that country.
	And O'Reilly, now O'Reilly's like, what?
	Riley is befuddled by this.
	I know.
	He's like, I thought we were on the same side.
	What is going on?
	What are you talking about?
	It was a booted election.
	It was a rigged election.
	Oh, come on.
	Oh, come on.
	Come on.
	That is a response.
	Oh, come on.
	Fiddlesticks.
	So, Tommy Rot, I tell you, this was not a corrupt election.
	What is it?
	It was an election.
	They had their own constitution.
	It's just like us.
	You know, like our elections are always on the up and up.
	It's like there's never anything going on.
	Oh, gee.
	All righty, are you crazy?
	And I think you give a...
	You think he's an honest guy, Corzine?
	I do.
	I haven't seen no indication that he's corrupted.
	Look at the hat and the cape.
	How can it not be an honest guy?
	This is why he's dressed in the hat.
	The hat, in case you haven't been listening to the show long enough, is made of calf fetuses' skin.
	Remember we talked about that, John?
	Oh, yeah.
	So they take a calf out of the womb, the fetus, so pre-birth, they skin it, and that's what they make the guy's hat out of.
	How can a guy like that be okay?
	He should be going to Whole Foods wearing that hat.
	I was just going to say, Mimi should get her one of those.
	I think the way he's been savaged by Holbrook and by General Jones and by Biden and other people, he is the president of that country.
	Yeah, are you nuts?
	Remember, we put him there.
	I mean, he was elected.
	We want him to succeed.
	Instead of running around saying, oh, there's gambling in the casino, oh my goodness.
	He even says it, oh, there's gambling in the casino, oh my goodness.
	Oh my goodness.
	Now listen, he drops a bomb here.
	That O'Reilly doesn't pick up on.
	Or barely picks up on because we're out of time.
	Give me odds that the Taliban is defeated and we prevail in our country and a decent government is in.
	Give me odds.
	Close question.
	50-50?
	Maybe.
	The Taliban are determined.
	They're extremists.
	And they've got a sanctuary in Pakistan.
	Exactly.
	So, before we go on, do you hear what's happening here?
	Do you know why Rumsfeld is saying all this?
	Tell me.
	To get out of Afghanistan.
	Oh yeah, no.
	It's fixed.
	Afghanistan is fixed.
	We've got a good guy in there.
	He's got the fetus.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	He's still working.
	He's still working it.
	And then they're both like, and we've got to go to Pakistan.
	Of course, he needs to bring up the Libya thing, but he didn't get to it in this clip.
	Now, here comes the bomb.
	Chance, and we've given him a chance.
	We have absolutely given him 10 years of American blood and treasure.
	You bet.
	You bet.
	All right.
	Mexico today, Calderon and Obama have a press conference.
	I tried to watch it.
	It put me to sleep.
	I think Mexico is the next big story.
	I think Calderon should declare martial law and let the military deal with the drug cartels.
	35,000 dead down there.
	And he doesn't seem to get it.
	Neither of them seem to get it.
	Am I wrong?
	The idea of a 2,000 mile border with the United States and a dysfunctional country is a terribly dangerous thing.
	Why is that, John?
	Why is it a terribly dangerous thing?
	And O'Reilly agrees.
	Well, it's not dangerous.
	Their northern border is at least as long or longer as longer.
	And that's not a dangerous thing.
	Why is it a dangerous thing?
	I don't get it.
	Well, he...
	I don't know.
	It's not really a dangerous thing except for the fact that there's a civil war brewing in Mexico.
	But having a fence is a dangerous thing.
	I don't understand.
	I mean, I don't give a crap one way or the other.
	The whole thing's a danger.
	I don't know.
	I'm looking up the Rumsfeld.
	Apparently, it's a big story.
	Rumsfeld didn't get the big money.
	Tommy Franks apparently is going to get five million.
	Other people are getting millions.
	Apparently, Rumsfeld is in the six figures.
	Wow, so maybe $750,000 or something.
	Or maybe $500,000, which sounds more like it.
	Bum deal.
	Well, the guy's a billionaire anyway.
	But he was probably irked by this, so they probably put all these little, you've got to do this, you've got to do that, because we don't think your book's going to do very well and make him go on the road to get his $500,000 back.
	Right.
	Well, there's more.
	I'm sorry, I should have clipped out the Mexico stuff, but he comes back to Car's Eye in an interesting way.
	That's what I think.
	On the other hand, there's an optimistic side.
	Oh, come on.
	Yes, in the year 2000, I'll give it to you.
	In the year 2000, Colombia, the FARC, was winning.
	We won there, but they had a charismatic leader who was willing to go in.
	I'm coming to that.
	Yeah, we don't have time for the whole thing.
	Well, but Uribe did a whale of a job down there.
	He did.
	But Calderon, why doesn't he just declare martial law and let the army take care of the cartels?
	That's the solution to his problem.
	They've had a series of leaders in that country that have been in traffic.
	Like Karzai.
	Come on.
	You don't know that.
	Oh, we got pretty good information.
	No, it's maybe someone in his family.
	Whoa!
	Whoa, like his brother?
	Maybe someone in his family.
	You know, this Rumsfeld, he's a war criminal.
	It's a total dick bar.
	That's what he is, a dick bar.
	Whatever that is, it sounds like...
	Oh, you don't know about the dick bar?
	No.
	Oh, the dick bar is trending.
	Oh, you haven't heard this?
	Oh, this is funny.
	So, you know the new CEO of Twitter?
	His name is Dick...
	What's his name?
	Look it up.
	Dick something or other.
	So, they released a new version of the Twitter app, which, by the way, a version 3.3, I might point out.
	Just a little magic number for you.
	And what it does now is, at the top...
	It has a bar, which is the trending bar.
	It folds down over what you're reading.
	Dick Costello?
	Yes, Dick Costello.
	No, Dick Costolo.
	Yeah, Costolo, whatever.
	Dick.
	So now do a search for Dick Bar.
	Dick Bar?
	Dick Bar, B-A-R. So this bar folds down.
	It's the trending bar.
	And of course it's always like Charlie Sheen, Bieber, Gaga.
	And everyone hates it.
	Because these are the promoted tweets.
	It's their advertising play.
	So this thing has been dubbed the dick bar.
	Can you imagine a CEO that released this?
	He promised all these great features.
	I was like, this sucks!
	It totally blows.
	People are restoring their...
	I still use version 1.
	I don't like these new versions.
	Right.
	So it's the dick bar.
	Okay.
	I like it.
	I think it's funny.
	I should have known this.
	Well, you'd think...
	Yeah, well, you know, this is how I find out a lot of stuff.
	By listening to me.
	People tell me.
	I watched the West Wing Week again.
	Uh-oh.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The title of it was Green Eggs and Governors.
	You don't want to know why.
	I know why, because Seuss had his 150th birthday or something, even though he's dead.
	Right, exactly.
	Which is, I mean, if you want to trip some kids out, you know, and these are all like five, six-year-olds, you know, read them some Dr.
	Seuss.
	I mean, it's like, whoa, psychedelia stuff.
	But when you look at this video of the West Wing Week, wherever the president goes, you know who's walking right next to him with that arrogant head?
	Valerie Jarrett.
	Everywhere he goes, she is next to him.
	On the plane, she's sitting next to him.
	I literally saw there was a dais, and it was...
	So you're having an affair?
	No, I don't know.
	She's his handler.
	She does everything.
	There's the president in the middle, Vice President O'Biden on the right, and on the left, Valerie Jarrett.
	She's not an official.
	She's the president's most trusted advisor, slumlord from Chicago.
	I'm getting real sick of seeing her around.
	And I think someone should call her on this.
	It's okay if you're the president's advisor, but you can't be sitting on the dais.
	What's she doing, footsies and communicating and whispering to them what to say?
	No one questions this.
	I know.
	You're the only one.
	And I'm sick of it.
	It really sickens me.
	This woman's face sickens me.
	It's sickening.
	Sickening, sickening, sickening.
	Pet peeve.
	play it so i have uh before we get to our donation thing uh i ran into oh yeah i'm getting there so i have a uh there was a very funny uh bringing back to you know one of our classic memes the trains good planes bad Oh, everybody, I'm glad that you said that.
	On the board, trains good.
	Woo-hoo!
	He has a lot going on with trains and planes.
	Well, this is my favorite one.
	This is the end of a segment on the Today Show, and then there's the teaser, and then I'll explain what they actually did.
	I didn't record the whole thing.
	I just have the teaser, but you'll get a clue if you play this.
	You can catch the series premiere of America's Next Great Restaurant.
	It's this Sunday, 8, 7 Central, right here on where, Bob?
	NBC. That's right.
	Up next, the precautions you should take to avoid picking up germs on your next flight.
	But first, this is today on NBC. Thanks so much.
	Yeah.
	So they bring...
	Yeah, no, I saw this.
	I saw this.
	So they bring in his expert about germs on the plane.
	Remember the bed bug story, the bed bugs on the plane?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	But what I thought was great about this, the set...
	We're two plane seats that Lauer and the other woman sat in.
	And a couple other planes.
	There were plane seats.
	There were prop plane seats.
	And they were sitting in these things talking about all the germs that are all over these seats.
	Yeah, you can get yourself some germs.
	Germs, germs.
	I know.
	Meanwhile, a man was able to take a pair of box cutters onto a JetBlue plane at JFK. Now, of all the things that TSA should not be letting through, I'd have to say box cutters pretty high.
	Since the last time terrorists had box cutters, they brought down not one, not two, but three buildings in free fall speed.
	So, how did they find the box cutters after the fact?
	That's a good...
	Well, it's a plant.
	I think how they found it...
	That's a plant.
	It's an obvious plant.
	We need more security.
	Hill and Knowlton released a press release.
	The box cutters fell out of the passenger's carry-on luggage as he was stowing it in an overhead compartment on flight 837 to Santiago.
	What a coincidence.
	Yeah.
	How much stuff falls out of your storage, you know, your carry-on luggage ever?
	Let me think.
	And why would it be the box cutters?
	Let me think.
	Zero.
	Police evacuated the flight and questioned the passenger, who said he used the box...
	Oh, that must have been inconvenient.
	...who said that he used the box cutters for his work and had forgotten to take them out of his bag.
	What's his job?
	Let me see if it says here.
	It doesn't.
	Three screeners will be disciplined and sent for remedial training for failing to spot the box cutters.
	Are you shitting me?
	Disciplined?
	How about we, you know, if you really buy into the whole thing about 9-11, then they should be drawn and quartered and hung in public.
	They've endangered perhaps the lives of thousands.
	Yeah.
	Remedial training.
	Nah.
	And while we're on that, we can't fail to mention, because now everyone's talking about it, these documents that have surfaced that Homeland Security was looking into covert body scans...
	You read about these documents, isn't it, John?
	It's even in USA Today now.
	Please, tell me if you've read about this.
	Well, I have a clip.
	I made the mistake of listening to two or three versions, because I guess she came back to it a couple of times, of Napolitano talking before Congress.
	Oh, Lucy!
	Lucy's up there.
	And by the way, she also did a shut up slave thing, which I have as a clip I'll play later.
	But that issue came up with one of the pandering, horrible women congresspeople.
	She kind of mentioned it in passing about, and this testimony involves securing, this is all about the budget.
	Right.
	You know, how they need more money.
	So wait a minute, you watched this on C-SPAN, did you not?
	Yeah, C-SPAN. This is a long one, too, because I gave up on this one hoping, because I watched the Clinton thing last week, two and a half hours, and I started with Napolitano, and I was just like, I wanted to literally jump in the bathtub and pull in the toaster.
	Yeah, I figured I had to make it up.
	Oh, good job.
	You tolerated that Clinton thing, which I couldn't take.
	Yeah, all right, so you got some Lucy clips.
	I got a couple Lucy things, but securing the cities is one of them, and this one here, I didn't know this was even going on, and she also mentions the portable, the woman, the congresswoman thing.
	It's a great idea that they have these portable units so they can just basically be checking us as we're walking down the street.
	This is Viper.
	This is the Viper stuff, right?
	I guess.
	Viper!
	Viper!
	We've got cool acronyms.
	We're Viper!
	We're here to scare you, slave!
	Changes needed to effectuate that.
	Fabulous.
	And just in closing...
	Did she just say fabulous?
	Fabulous.
	She did fabulous.
	She just said fabulous.
	Fabulous, Lucy!
	I love your answer!
	Changes needed to effectuate that.
	Fabulous.
	And just in closing, Madam Secretary, under the continuing resolution, DNDO would lose $20 million for the acquisition this fiscal year.
	I'm coming around to the issue of securing the cities and how this would impact securing the cities, human portable detectors and other deployments.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	We don't want to secure our borders because a fence is a bad idea.
	But we want to secure our cities with human portable detectors?
	Wow.
	Oh my goodness.
	Share that with us, please.
	Share that.
	Yes, the budget for DNDO would...
	What is DNDO? I have to look it up.
	It's some...
	Don't know, don't observe?
	See something, say something.
	Hold on.
	DND. We've got to know this before we continue.
	See something.
	See something.
	Domestic Nuclear Detection Office.
	Oh!
	Nukes!
	DNDO! Yeah.
	Nukes!
	Oh, of course.
	Remember, wag the dog.
	Suitcase nuke.
	Suitcase nuke.
	Nukes!
	DNDO! See something, say something.
	Woo!
	Suitcase nukes!
	Ah, domestic nuclear detection!
	Yes, the budget for DNDO would affect both of those things, and as I noted in my opening statement, we have asked for money in the FY12 budget to not only continue securing the cities, but to add to it.
	I would add that within the CR, securing the cities is protected, I believe.
	We can discuss that.
	I've discussed that with the Secretary before, and we will...
	Yes, I was referring to the other detectives.
	But it is true that in the FY12 budget, securing the cities is sustained, and we want to add another city to it.
	Yes, let me just say that we've got the domestic nuclear...
	They want to add another city.
	What cities are secured?
	They're all secured, because, you know, I just got to have the...
	Oops.
	It's just, you know, it's revolting.
	It is revolting.
	I tuned out when I heard her say something to the effect of, well, you know, we could talk about that in not an open forum where we have to do that tomorrow.
	Here's the one.
	That's the one you're talking about is this clip, which is, I found to be the most offensive thing I've ever heard And this is Pat Meehan, a Republican, a Republican, mind you, from Pennsylvania, who is essentially dressed down by Napolitano, and he did nothing.
	He should have said, look, I'm supposed to be questioning you, you're not supposed to be questioning me.
	Is this a shut-up, slaves?
	Yes.
	If you've got a problem with the GAO report because they're saying too many things out of school, out of class, you talk to them.
	Meanwhile, she tells him to shut up, and he just puts up with this guy should be voted out.
	Anybody who lives in Pennsylvania has this wimp as a congressman should be ashamed of themselves for voting him in office.
	Thank you, gentlemen.
	The chair recognizes the chairman from Pennsylvania, the chairman of this counterterrorism subcommittee, Mr.
	Meehan, for three minutes.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Chairman, and thank you, Madam Secretary, for being with us here again for your extensive preparation.
	Thank you for all your service.
	Thank you.
	GAO, General Accountability Office.
	Accountability, yeah.
	They're the ones who do or they're watchdogs.
	Yeah, those are the guys that say, hey, this really sucks, and then everyone says...
	Right?
	Yeah.
	And the reports are like, the press doesn't read them.
	And if they do, they don't report on them because they're compromised.
	That's important to know because not everyone lives in Gitmo Nation.
	Many parts of government, including in our own backyard here, as we all collectively look at the issue of homeland security, they were looking at overlap and fragmentation among government programs.
	But a particular area, the area of bioterrorism, and I mustered gas!
	A quote from the report, at least five departments, eight agencies, and more than two dozen presidential appointees oversee $6.48 billion related to bioterrorism.
	And if you go deeper into it, it says at one point, there's no broad integrated national strategy that encompasses all stakeholders with biodefense responsibilities.
	This is on the front end.
	With respect to systematically identifying risk, assessing resources needed to address that risk, and then prioritizing and allocating the investment.
	So that goes to sort of our preparedness for an event.
	It then says that there's no national plan to coordinate federal, state, and local efforts following a bioterror event, and the United States lacks the technical and operational capabilities required for an adequate response.
	That's a tough accusation for all of us who share a concern about this issue, and I know you represent just...
	Okay, let's just summarize.
	What did he just actually say?
	He said, for one thing, we're spending $6.48 billion on a bunch of agencies that are involved in some way, shape, or form in bioterrorism.
	That includes 12 specific czars or some sort of Obama appointees, and they're not coordinated.
	Nobody knows what the other guys are doing.
	It's a waste of money.
	What can we do about it is what he's trying to ask her.
	One of the multiple agencies, but this is a big challenge for all of us in government.
	How do we begin to look at this incredible problem?
	This is a canary in a coal mine, in my mind, right now.
	How do we begin to look at the issue of a national strategy and get that focal point, go across the multiple agencies, but not only be better with our resources in terms of fiscally responsible, but deal with the issue of appropriate preparedness and response?
	Thank you.
	Representative, well, first of all...
	This is great.
	Representative, did you hear that, John?
	When she really clenches up, then she's really...
	Representative.
	Representative.
	All right, I'm going to roll that back.
	Representative.
	If I might suggest something for the committee to consider, and that is, I don't think it's overall helpful for GAO reports...
	That are allegedly pointing out alleged vulnerabilities to be put out in an unclassified format.
	I think that's a problem.
	And I think I've referenced it several times.
	I would respectfully ask the Congress to really look at that for obvious reasons.
	Secondly, the issue of bio...
	It ends there.
	She goes on and she never answers the question.
	But what she says is, you know, it's like you're meddling in my affairs, you're in my department.
	I don't think it's helpful for these alleged GAA reports with alleged allegations, not alleged alleged.
	Why is she using the word alleged?
	Is she worried about being sued?
	No, what she's saying is...
	I mean, that's what...
	You don't use the word...
	The only people that use the word alleged are journalists who don't have all the facts and they say and they just talk about accusations and they use the word alleged to kind of cover themselves.
	I'm being sued.
	What is she worried about?
	She's using it to call it a lie.
	She's saying it's alleged, which means it's not based on truth.
	That's what she's trying to do.
	But the fact of the matter is she told the guy to shut up slave.
	Yeah.
	You know, before we move on to the next Lucy clip, let me bring you another one of these biatches.
	Kathleen Sebelius, who is the Treasury Secretary of Health and Human Services.
	She's in Congress.
	It's all about the budget, right?
	And so there's some guys, and this guy, I forget who it is.
	We'll probably get his name in a minute.
	He says...
	Wait a minute.
	You are double counting.
	Because he also has the reports.
	And it says she's cutting $500 billion and she's using it to save Medicare.
	But in another budget item, she's using the same $500 billion to kickstart the Obamacare program.
	And he's saying, that can't be.
	You can't have it both ways.
	And she gets befuddled.
	And listen to what her answer is.
	And this guy is angry.
	And of course, the clock runs out.
	It's like, finally we get to some good meat.
	Then it's like, you have 26 seconds left.
	And then she's just waiting.
	I think she tried to run out the clock like it's basketball or something.
	She tried to run it out.
	And then, time's up.
	On to the next question.
	Shut up, everybody.
	Who cares what she just said?
	But she's sweating on this one.
	It's great to see the video.
	So, there is an issue here on the budget because your own actuary has said you can't double count.
	You can't count 500.
	They're attacking Medicare on the CR when their bill, your law, cut $500 billion in Medicare.
	Then you're also using the same $500 billion to what?
	Say you're funding health care.
	Your own actuary says...
	You can't do both.
	So my simple question, I have 26 seconds left.
	What's the $500 billion cuts for?
	Preserving Medicare or funding health care law?
	Which is it?
	Affordable Care Act has 12 years to the Medicare Trust Fund, according to every actuary, and the $500 billion represents a slowdown in the growth rate of Medicare over 10 years from what was projected at 8% to a growth rate of...
	So is it Medicare?
	Is it using it to save Medicare?
	Or are you using it to fund health care reform?
	Which one?
	Both.
	So you're double counting.
	I yield back my time.
	Both.
	Both.
	And she looks disheveled on this one, too.
	Her glasses are off, her collar's open.
	It's both.
	It can't work, I'm telling you.
	Both.
	What happened to doing it just like the American family, according to our president?
	We've got to do it.
	We ran up the credit card too much.
	We've got to do it just like the American families do it.
	Crazy.
	This budget thing has been very, very funny, though.
	All the doublespeak is just crazy.
	Yeah, these guys...
	It's obvious that this budget is ridiculous.
	I mean, there's money just being squandered.
	So anyway, so Dan Quayle's kid...
	Dan Quayle, who, of course, is the CEO and chairman of the...
	What's the three-headed dog company?
	I don't know.
	I can't remember.
	You're following it.
	The blood company.
	No, the biggest hedge fund.
	They own all the military contractors.
	Come on.
	What's the name of the three-headed dog that guards the gates to hell?
	I can't remember.
	Come on.
	Three-headed dog guards gates.
	Hell dog ventures.
	I have no idea.
	No, it's a big...
	Cerberius.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Which owns a lot of...
	Well, anyway, so Dan Quayle, who's a former vice president's kid, is a congressman in Arizona.
	And I just thought there was an interesting gap.
	See if you can spot it.
	He's a grilling Napolitano on the same long hearing.
	Well, he's there just to make sure that his dad's companies get all their military funding.
	Come on, this is the billions of dollars involved.
	But she makes a very interesting flub here.
	See if you can spot it.
	You can stop the tape after you spot it, or you can listen to the rest of her.
	Spot the flub.
	This is a Lucy flub, right?
	Yeah.
	Spot the flub.
	All right, here we go.
	The gentleman...
	Was that it?
	From Arizona, Mr.
	Quayle.
	He's recognized for three minutes.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Chairman, and thank you, Madam Secretary, for coming here.
	There's been a lot of talk, I think, in this talk with the budget at 12...
	Just like Dad, isn't he?
	...about the CR that just went through the House.
	What is a CR? Let's look it up.
	Congressional report?
	I think so, but let's make sure.
	I'll play while you're on.
	It's got to be approved.
	I'm just playing.
	We'll be going through the Senate and coming back probably.
	But one of the focuses in both the media and here this afternoon has been what effects it's going to have on securing the southwest border.
	And I just wanted to kind of give a little lay of the land of how this CR is going because from my looking at it, it's going to be adding more border agents.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	According to the chatroom, it's consumer reports.
	They're passing consumer reports through Congress.
	Not decreasing more border agents is increased funds for CBP by $147.9 million over what it was for fiscal year 10, which was an increase compared to what the administration fiscal year 11 request was.
	It also provides $550 million for fencing infrastructure.
	It's a continuing resolution.
	Ah, that's right.
	And technology.
	$57.8 million for ICE to maintain new southwest border hires and no fewer than 33,400 detention.
	This guy knows exactly what it is because his dad's company is going to be providing a lot of these services.
	Do you see how much he knows about it?
	Yeah, I know it's quite a bit.
	And by the way, you kind of stepped right on top of the real interesting one.
	Well, hold on.
	Let me go back then.
	33,000 beds.
	Oh, my God.
	I missed the magic number.
	And technology.
	$57.8 million for ICE to maintain new southwest border hires.
	And no fewer than 33,400 detention beds.
	Hot pockets.
	It also includes $60 million for Operation Stone Garden, which is the same as fiscal year 10.
	Operation Stone Garden.
	What the heck is that?
	Was it Stone Garden or Stone Gutter?
	Or Stone Garter.
	I don't know.
	Now, in going forward with the CR and then also with the Fiscal 12, what, in terms of priorities, do you think that we should be focusing on for the southwest border?
	Is it more technology, more border patrol agents?
	Which do you think is most important in that regard?
	Well, first of all, I think...
	There's a lot of...
	I'm sorry.
	The chat room, it's Operation Soundgarden.
	You guys are crazy.
	By the way, you might want to start her over because she just stammers.
	Yeah, because she's blown away because he's like, oh crap, this twerp, this jabroni.
	Fiddle sticks, just give me the money.
	Well, first of all, I think there's a lot of...
	I really can't agree with the laydown you gave of the facts in terms of how they really affect funding for the southwest border.
	President Quayle, we'll be glad to get with you after this hearing because time is precious, but I think even Senator...
	Time is precious!
	We've got no time to answer your question!
	Kyle yesterday put out an article expressing concern about H.R. 1 and how it affects the...
	You missed the gaffe.
	I didn't hear it.
	Don't say anything.
	Let me listen to it again.
	Precious, but I think even Senator Kyle yesterday put out An article expressing concern about HR1 and how it affects them.
	No, no.
	It's earlier.
	The lay down you gave of the facts in terms of how they really affect funding for the southwest border and President Quayle will be glad to get...
	President Quayle.
	President Quayle.
	That's good.
	That's a good one.
	That's a good one.
	I miss that.
	That's pretty funny.
	President Quayle.
	So that's a double gaffe.
	Because he was a vice president, not a president.
	Well, you know what?
	This is the hierarchy.
	He might as well be President Quayle because he's royalty.
	He's related to Vice President Dan Quayle, which is irrelevant that he was vice president.
	The guy runs Cerberus, which is the biggest company.
	This is where Lucy hopes to end up after she's done.
	She's got to have a job, and she's going to go right into one of the Cerberus companies.
	This revolving door is exactly how it works.
	In fact, we really need to start thanking some people for the giving levels.
	But from the Shadow Puppet Theater Department, it's just unbelievable what reports came out this week.
	More than 130 top congressional staffers are former lobbyists.
	And when you see this list, which is open secrets...
	Yeah, well, hold on a second.
	Stop the presses.
	Didn't Obama promise to get elected?
	He made a promise to the public, the American public, that he wasn't going to hire a bunch of lobbyists in his administration?
	He was going to hire professors and people that knew stuff?
	You can take that to the bank.
	Yeah.
	No, he promised a lot of stuff.
	But, you know, why call him on it?
	You know, because Charlie Sheen's got his corner going.
	Um...
	I don't want to talk about it.
	Go look at all the names in the show notes, noagendershow.com or shutupslaves.com, which is another place you can find us.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, we're going long today, buddy.
	Chad Edmonds in Rochester, New York.
	My name is Chad.
	I was born in 1984.
	And I'm turning 27 on Sunday, March 6th.
	These facts mean I'm obliged to donate $111.11 towards show 284 for the good karma.
	This is my first donation.
	Thank you very much, Chad.
	I'm a student.
	Read poor.
	But do not worry.
	I procured this extra bit of cash from the government.
	And what a better way to use government currency than donating to no agenda after all.
	As Mr.
	Curry will recognize, money demands that you sell, not...
	That you sell, not your weakness to men's stupidity, but your talent to the reason it demands that you buy, not the shoddiest they offer, but the best that money can find.
	What could that be from?
	Atlas Shrugged by Arnie Rand.
	Walked right into that one.
	Yes.
	Thanks, Chad.
	Duh.
	Chad Clevenger, or Clevenger, but it's Clevenger.
	Sterling, Virginia, $111.11.
	My 60th birthday, March 5th, so I donate $111.11 in hopes of getting some good karma for the next year.
	Absolutely.
	You've got karma.
	I'm proud to be a founding producer.
	Can't find the page, by the way.
	We have a founding producer's page.
	We've got to figure out where it is.
	Still a long way from knighthood, but we'll continue to work on it.
	I've never had cable or satellite.
	Still an outdoor antenna, by the way.
	Your HDTV is best through direct outdoor antenna.
	I'm pretty sure we have...
	NoagendaStream.com.
	I made sure that that was there on the new page.
	We'll check it out and report on it later.
	Sorry, I don't C-SPAN. I only watch the network news for weather reports since I get real news from No Agenda, of course.
	Thank you for all you do, Dave Clevenger.
	That's why I said Clevenger.
	It's there, by the way.
	It's the sustaining producer's page, and it's right there.
	His name was...
	What was his name again?
	Clevenger.
	David Clevenger?
	Yeah, it's not on there.
	Let me just check.
	Huh.
	I don't see him on there.
	That's interesting.
	Well, we'll get on that now for sure.
	Parth Modi, Naperville, Illinois, $111.11.
	Chris Abraham, Arlington, Virginia.
	My birthday is on March 8th.
	I will be 41 and pausing my cross-country business trip adventure and heading back to Washington, D.C. inside the Beltway to be with my friends I consider no agenda.
	And you cool kids, part of the Chris Abraham family.
	Woo-hoo!
	So I am much obliged.
	Can I kiss your sister?
	My life is 33 and a third percent better with John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry two times a week.
	We love some karma.
	33.3% is the exact number, I believe.
	You've got karma.
	$33.33.
	And finally, Raymond Port, $111.
	And those are people, by the way, you might want to explain how this works, Adam, the $111 donations.
	Well, first of all, Raymond Port is...
	He sent a whole email that...
	Hmm...
	Interesting that that's not in the spreadsheet here.
	Might be long.
	He's a big DSC fan, and I hooked him up with a couple things.
	I met his wife before...
	She was a...
	A flight attendant on KLM. You know those price-fixing airlines that you read about?
	Yeah.
	But anyway, thank you very much, Raymond.
	Appreciate it.
	Paul Alves in Toronto, Ontario, 6666.
	My second donation, can I be de-douched?
	You've been de-douched.
	Alves.
	Alves.
	Paul Alves.
	And then, Dean!
	Dean!
	Dvorak.
	Chill.
	In Strongsville, Ohio.
	Is he related?
	Is he related?
	Who knows?
	He could be.
	But he ridiculed me for not being able to pronounce the word Dvorak.
	$56.
	Richard Henderson.
	He was just joking, of course, because I get it.
	And then he had the idea how to pronounce Dean.
	Right.
	Richard Henderson knew...
	This is a typical Dvorak, so he must be related...
	Richard Henderson, new Westminster, British Columbia, Canada.
	Hooray.
	Gentlemen, I've only been listening to Noah Jenner for a few weeks.
	Now I was turned on to the show by a couple of friends who have previously donated, Jeff Juniper and Justin Cohen.
	I love the show.
	I wish more people really paid attention to what was happening in the world.
	I'm stocking up on silver coins and shotgun shells for when it comes to all this shit.
	Right on.
	Justin called me out as a douchebag for not donating, so here's my double nickels on the dime if you gentlemen kind of de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	He also needs some karma.
	He's been trying to hire...
	I could have done a double shot.
	I wasn't thinking clearly.
	Trying to hire a couple of decent tech writers at my work.
	99% of these open-mouthed breathers can't spell or write for the life of them.
	Send me some decent people.
	Thanks again.
	The show is fantastic.
	I'm sure we've got some people here who listen to the show.
	Yeah, but they don't live in...
	B.C. In New Westminster, not Minister.
	Sir J. Gauthier, Flint, Michigan.
	In the morning, Curry.
	In the morning, Dvorak.
	I'm sending double nickels on the dime because I've had a beef with John.
	On the last show, I donated $111 due to my birthday formula, which Adam will explain.
	And I asked for some karma.
	However, the karma was apparently bunk.
	John misread the name of my podcast, so I've been duped into donating again to rectify this error.
	I've been Dvorak'd.
	Perhaps some more karma and a proper mention of my drunken podcast will make me feel better.
	The ZeroCast podcast.
	Hold on.
	In John's defense, when he read the name of your podcast, he was drunk.
	I wish.
	ZeroCast podcast podcast.
	At gmail.com.
	That makes no sense.
	I think he's still drunk.
	The Zero Cast Podcast.
	Figure it out.
	Google it.
	You've got karma.
	And Raymond comes in again with another $51.50.
	I know.
	I think he gave us like $200 or something like that.
	He entered out his PayPal.
	I appreciate it.
	Raymond's a good guy.
	Let's move him up to associate executive producer if he's got the money.
	Alan Bowes.
	Sir Alan Bowes.
	I'm sorry.
	Langley.
	But not Langley, Virginia.
	Langley, British Columbia.
	Hi, guys.
	A few months back when John was reading out my note about distribution of no-agenda business cards, he offhandedly said, am I in trouble?
	Offhandedly said that I should send them adrift in bottles.
	I did?
	Well, as luck would have it, my daughter and I were walking around the back of a ship in the Caribbean when a wine bottle became empty.
	With the fate like this, I had no choice but to insert a no-agenda card and chuck it into the ocean.
	One more guaranteed listener coming up.
	Some dude on an island with no internet.
	If only I had a net connection.
	Matthew Nicole, Brooklyn, New York.
	John Nam donating to wish my friend Brian Rogers a happy birthday.
	Hopefully my one cent is enough to beat out my buddy Pete, who I know is also donating for Brian's birthday on the morning to y'all.
	Matt Nicole.
	Which he didn't, by the way.
	I didn't see Pete's donation.
	Andrew Schmidt, Atlas, Pennsylvania, $50.
	James Real, Brooklyn, New York.
	Please mention Brian Rogers.
	Oh, wait, there he is.
	Oh, there he is.
	Right.
	I guess his name is Pete.
	James is not known as Pete.
	Yeah, so he turned into a No Agenda fan.
	He's always pretty much a good guy.
	So Brian Rogers gets a call out.
	Do we have him on the list?
	Yes, we do.
	Mark McLenna of Watertown, Connecticut.
	ITM, John and Adam.
	No agenda is my dose of reality in this world that's moving too fast.
	I want to ask Adam for his honesty.
	I like Adam for his honesty.
	I want to thank him for his honesty.
	And John, you're the voice of reason.
	Absolutely.
	You guys are the perfect balance.
	My wife, Sue, could really use some karma.
	All right.
	For a girl named Sue, here it comes.
	You've got karma.
	That's right.
	I like the fact that he realizes that I'm honest and you're just a voice of reason.
	Yeah, which is not very entertaining.
	Sir Mike Westerfield, $50.
	And Nichelle Moore, another female listener, thank you very much.
	And Nightdale, North Carolina, $50 also.
	Thanks for everybody who donated.
	We want to encourage people to join the 285 Club, and I would like to ask especially new listeners to jump right in.
	Give us a nice 285 and get into the executive producer suite with us.
	Thank you very much.
	We've got more to do.
	First, we've got to do the birthdays.
	Chad Edmonds turns 27th today.
	Happy birthday, David Clevenger.
	60 is what he turned yesterday.
	We're happy to have you on board, the No Agenda family.
	Chris Abrams, 41st birthday on March 8th.
	And Matthew, Nicole, and James, better known as Pete Real, say happy birthday to Brian Rogers.
	And I would like to say happy birthday to my sister, Willow Curry, a $5 a month donor, not a boner, to the No Agenda show up there in Italy.
	Her birthday was yesterday as well.
	Happy birthday from John, Adam, and all your friends here at No Agenda.
	And yeah, so John stepped on the birthday music, but...
	Well, I was just going to say the nogenitnation.com slash donators or slash NA and you can also get there if you can't get on the Dvorak.org site.
	Yeah, because you're blocked by Russians.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. You're blocked by the Chinese.
	I almost cut myself.
	You got your...
	Hold on.
	Yeah.
	Ooh.
	Okay.
	Let's see.
	Here we go.
	It's a new one.
	Robert Wiltshire and Vernon White, please step forward.
	We've got an ironic situation today, John.
	Vernon White is a black knight, which I think is just poetic justice.
	White is black.
	That's right.
	The new white is black.
	Thanks to your giving levels, which have totaled up to $1,000 for the support of the No Agenda Show, the only way we can receive support is through your donations.
	We might be both!
	Sir Robert Wilcher and Sir Vernon White, Black Knight, in the order of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Please head on over to the roundtable.
	Enjoy your hookers and blow.
	Or rent boys and chardonnay, depending on what your preference is.
	We've got it all here.
	And the rings have been ordered, I'm reliably informed.
	Yeah, they'll be coming shortly.
	We should have them in everyone's hands by April.
	That's so awesome.
	Or in April, I guess.
	I am personally very excited about this.
	The way it works is...
	And these are not cheap jack rings.
	We had saved money, set aside money to make...
	Because we have a good number of nights.
	So everyone's going to get one posthumously.
	Not dead.
	Posnightedly.
	Post-nightedly.
	And they're good-looking rings.
	And it's in mirror.
	The writing on it is...
	Isn't it the Immelora?
	It's reversed, yeah.
	So it's a signet ring, so you can...
	Right.
	And so we have a little insignia, and then we have hit him in the mouth in Latin.
	Is that the...
	I believe that's what it says.
	Right, so when you actually hit someone in the mouth, everyone will be able to read what it says if they also speak Latin.
	You can also press it into candle wax and stuff.
	You can mark your exorcist.
	Ceiling wax.
	We're going to have ceiling wax.
	Actually, Eric is going to enclose some ceiling wax.
	Really?
	That's going to come with it?
	I think so.
	You take a candle, you drop a couple of gobs on your envelope, then you punch your ring into that thing.
	Oh, nice.
	Nice.
	That's very cool.
	And please continue to support this program.
	This is the kind of giving level we like to see.
	So if you're a boner, not a donor, consider stepping up to the plate.
	As John said, the 285 Club is a pretty good deal because it's something very exclusive.
	And of course, anyone who gets the official credits on the show can put that on their resume.
	Unlike Hollywood, the phonies in Hollywood will actually vouch for you and you support...
	The tedious and mind-numbing task that we, and John did it again for you, we watch all this C-SPAN to bring you the actual news that is really happening that, of course, the mainstream media has no time to report on because they're too busy tracking Charlie Sheen.
	So there's a lot of vaccine news.
	That has been cropping up.
	Yeah, I think it's another developing meme.
	They're trying to take another run at the public with getting people vaccinated for all sorts of things.
	Of course, I need to remind everybody that we've been tracking this for several years.
	In 2008, 2009, all the pharmaceutical companies, all the CEOs at all of the big analyst conferences, these are like the J.P. Morgan and the We're good to go.
	I think that you brought, about two years ago, you did read from one of the PowerPoint presentations from one of these companies talking about how they're going to make so much money on this vaccine deal.
	It's going to be a bonanza.
	I would like you to find that and do it again because I think a lot of our new listeners need to be, you know, because we're not full of crap here when we're talking about some of this stuff.
	I'll do two things.
	I will get the quote from the actual show where we talked about it in 2000.
	It's at nine or eight, maybe even eight.
	With 2009 for sure.
	I'll get the actual show that we talked about it.
	And I'll look at some of the newer reports.
	But they were predicting billions of dollars.
	And the reason why, there's a couple of reasons.
	One is the regulations for vaccines are almost non-existent.
	You don't really have to test it the way it is with medications.
	And there's no liability.
	No, the government has...
	All governments around the world, apparently, have said, oh, you know, we need the vaccines.
	And in the United States, the Supreme Court just ruled that you cannot sue the pharmaceutical company.
	The Supreme Court ruled that.
	So they could be shooting you up with gasoline, for all I care.
	It could be water.
	It could be anything.
	It doesn't matter.
	You can't sue them if it hurts you.
	And of course, it's great because you're giving something to people who aren't sick.
	I mean, does it get any better than that, John?
	I mean, if you could give someone financial advice without people needing it...
	I've got no money.
	Well, you're going to take my financial advice anyway.
	Yeah, you're going to pay me.
	Well, you're going to pay me for it.
	So they're giving medicines to people or whatever it is they put in there, formaldehyde and viruses, to people who don't need it.
	Now, if you watch television at all, In these United States of Gitmo, everything is sponsored by pharmaceutical companies.
	Everything.
	Now, I've not seen a lot of television commercials for vaccinations, but I'm sure that's on the way.
	Of course, at the retail level, this is everywhere.
	Walgreens, you know, all the Rite Aid, everywhere.
	Come in, get your shot today.
	And it's not just flu shot.
	It's whooping cough.
	It's all kinds of vaccinations.
	At retail level, it's big.
	They're already out there.
	They're promoting it.
	So the way that they get this into the thinking, they need to indoctrinate people.
	And they do this through PR companies.
	Of course, one of them would be Hill& Knowlton.
	That's with a K, the Knowlton part.
	And they go to the same networks where they're advertising all their other stuff, and they say, hey, I think you should run this story.
	Now, John, let me ask you a question.
	If this program were sponsored by Johnson& Johnson or Pfizer, and we're making millions of dollars rolling out their commercials, and they say, hey, we've got this little study, this thing that's really important, this breaking news, it's a study, it's scientific, it's a study.
	Science!
	Science!
	Could you just do this story?
	What would we have to say?
	Yeah.
	You're going to say, yeah, I guess so.
	We've got no choice.
	We've got no choice but to do it.
	Of course, they like that.
	One of the things people who listen to the show long enough know is that we're actually media people.
	We've been in the media one way, shape, or form on various levels.
	Maybe the lowest rung of show business, but I was there.
	Show business is lowest, but when it comes to media in general, I think we have as good a chops as anybody.
	Yeah.
	And the fact of the matter is we know kind of how it works.
	And it does trickle down occasionally.
	You're not going to be, let's put it this way, you're working for NBC. NBC is owned by General Electric.
	Take ABC. ABC is a little better.
	ABC is owned by Disney.
	ABC News, the new president of ABC News, this 41-year-old kid, whose sister happens to be special advisor to President Obama, whose entire campaign was financed by insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and banks.
	Yeah, go on, John.
	The point is that when the boss says...
	Even when you're not being told by the boss to do something...
	It's apparent.
	You kind of know not to do it.
	That's why you don't see breakout reports about corruption in General Electric or the stock is worthless or anything like that on any of the NBC stations.
	You might run into that listening to Dvorak Horowitz because we've reported on some various newsletters that have talked about General Electric not being the world's most secure company.
	But you're never going to hear that on NBC because you don't want to get fired.
	These are high-paying jobs in a good environment, and you're just not going to get good news because they can't afford to tell the stories.
	And these drug companies have taken over.
	The media has just bought in lock, stock, and barrel because it's paying everybody's bills.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So if your bills are being paid by these guys, what are you going to do?
	Bite the hand that feeds you?
	No.
	Right.
	So now the way you make news is by offering a study.
	We've talked about this many times.
	If you have a study, it's a study.
	It's a study that was done by scientists.
	So the compromised ABC News, I've just explained that connection to you.
	They come out with a report about vaccinations.
	The whole report, you're like, oh my God, I've got to get my kid vaccinated!
	But at the very end, They tell the truth.
	And it's just a throwaway line.
	I'll not interrupt this two-minute piece for once.
	And when you hear the end, it's just like, oh, brother, I can't believe that they actually passed this off as news.
	But, of course, no one hears anything beyond the headlines.
	Exciting news on the vaccine front.
	Researchers say...
	I'm sorry.
	Exciting.
	I can't help myself.
	Exciting news.
	It's exciting.
	It's not just news.
	It's exciting news.
	Exciting news on the vaccine front.
	childhood vaccinations may be reducing your child's risk for more than what they were created for five-year-old Jamie is struggling to breathe He watches his respiratory rate change as his mother watches him.
	No one likes to see a sick child struggle.
	Mom made sure Jamie had all his childhood vaccinations.
	I always felt that if we had the vaccinations that we should use them, that the medical technology was there and that there was no reason that I thought that it shouldn't be used.
	But vaccines have long been the topic of controversy, some parents fearing they can cause autism.
	Dr.
	James Orlowski, a vaccine proponent, says a new study published in the journal Pediatrics highlights a new potential good side effect of these shots.
	It's a very interesting study because what they've done is they've looked at the possibility that vaccines actually might protect children against cancer.
	The study looked at a large number of kids with cancer at Baylor and the University of Texas and looked at their vaccination status.
	And what they found was that certain vaccines indeed seem to protect against the development of acute lymphocytic leukemia in children, which is the most...
	I can't...
	I'm sorry, I can't do it.
	I can't not interrupt this clip.
	Do you hear what he's doing?
	It went from, it's going to stop cancer to, it seems, it's interesting, it could be...
	...common cancer in children.
	Also against medulloblastoma, which is the most common brain tumor in children.
	And then against non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
	Dr.
	Orlowski says the study found that children immunized against hepatitis B, polio, DTP, MMR, and HIV had lower odds of developing these cancers.
	So one of the questions has been, will do vaccines help or hurt?
	Do they turn on the immune system, which would be beneficial?
	Or do they turn it off, which might not be beneficial?
	This study suggests that they do turn on the immune system, and that with the turned on immune system, that you're somewhat protected against the development of cancers.
	While common childhood vaccines wouldn't have prevented Jamie's pneumonia, Mom is hopeful the study is right, and the shots he got as a baby and toddler will keep him from landing in the hospital bed again.
	Now, so there's a tag here.
	So now here's what we've seen.
	We've seen this sick kid who is unrelated.
	They even say it.
	Well, the kid has pneumonia.
	Unrelated to any vaccine or anything.
	Doesn't have cancer.
	He's just a coughing kid in a hospital bed with worried parents looking around.
	So that's just the whole window dressing.
	This guy talks about this study that says, well, very interesting.
	It seems that maybe somehow it could be related to if I think...
	This is like that drug commercial where it says it's thought to.
	Well, listen to the tagline.
	A tag is coming up right now, and this totally gives it away.
	Dr.
	Orlowski does say a larger study needs to be completed to further prove that theory.
	What?
	So this is basically a half-baked theory turned into a package, a news package, and then presented to the public as a promotion vehicle for vaccines and to promote vaccines in general.
	This is the biggest crock of crap imaginable.
	And, you know, here's a funny thing.
	I was watching the...
	And people, I want to alert our movie websites...
	Network News was on last night on the Indie Channel and HD. I ended up watching the whole damn movie because it is one great film.
	It's very funny.
	But most of it was about the ethics of the news.
	And it was, oh, everyone was so ethical.
	Although there was some breakdown here and there.
	But the fact of the matter is the ethics of the news doesn't exist.
	And people should watch this movie, Network News, so they can just kind of laugh at some of the concepts in there.
	But the fact of the matter is this is the kind of crap that we're being fed by these networks.
	It's ridiculous.
	This is like, might as well just be an advertisement.
	Well, it was an advertisement.
	It was an advertisement for flu, for vaccine shots.
	And at the very end, there's a little disclaimer that, you know, it's like, okay, you got to tag it with this, you know.
	Is it, well, you know, the doctor does say that more study is needed to actually prove this theory.
	Yeah, because they got nothing.
	But essentially, the message is, take your shots, don't get cancer.
	I mean, that's the message.
	And, you know, and...
	People don't listen anymore.
	And you're seeing these horrible images.
	The kid like coughing up blood.
	But it's not related to anything.
	I love the kid.
	It's disgusting.
	He'll cough a little louder, kid.
	So California law going to require all school children are vaccinated against whooping cough.
	Otherwise, this is the Redlands school district.
	Will you not be allowed into school?
	Well, that's been pretty common, that shot.
	Yeah, but now it's law.
	I thought it was always law in California.
	No, no, no, no.
	They've been sending kids home who don't have it, but now it's actually law, AB 354.
	The Redlands School District was up towards Big Bear, that direction.
	Proposed law would require meningitis vaccine for new college students.
	This is from the Star-Telegram, which is, where's that?
	Where's the Star-Telegram?
	Texas.
	You know, so you might as well, they might as well, hey, you know, California's in the whooping cough.
	We should bring that one in, too.
	That would be good.
	Yeah, they might as well.
	I mean, let's face it.
	The Gates Foundation, Bill and Melinda, investing $10 million in the vaccine developer because it's big business.
	Bill knows that.
	He knows where the money is.
	And, of course, the federal government has awarded $215 million dollars To NovaVax, Inc.
	and Vaccinate, Inc.
	to develop flu vaccines for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
	You know, that's the woman who can't count.
	She's the one.
	Sibelius.
	Debilius.
	Debilitating.
	Debilius, yeah.
	So I got to, before the show ends, we're getting near...
	No, we're not.
	I found that there was a very distressing thing happening to this private Manning.
	Well, can I just say...
	Well, okay.
	I got a theory on Manning.
	You go ahead with the distressing thing about Manning.
	Well, play the clip and then you can give us a theory.
	But this is kind of weird.
	Oops, hold on a second.
	I messed that up.
	Do you want to explain who Manning is?
	Manning is the guy who supposedly leaked all those documents to WikiLeaks that apparently picked him off of a general computer that's floating around the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and the State Department, every place in between.
	He saw the database, took it, and sent it to WikiLeaks, and now the guys in jail are going to shoot him if they can.
	But I don't see that this really caused much of a problem, but everyone, you know, this is a big breach, and so now they're basically torturing the guy.
	Finally here on Reporter Roulette, Chris Lawrence at the Pentagon with some of these new details about that Army private accused in the WikiLeaks conspiracy.
	And first, Chris, why did the Army add to the charges against Private Manning?
	Well, they say, Brooke, that it more accurately reflects what he is accused of.
	The big one that they added was aiding the enemy.
	Now, the military isn't defining the enemy.
	Hold on a second.
	Stop it.
	Aiding the enemy.
	Basically this was done for the American public.
	So essentially what they've said is they're aiding, you know, the enemy is us.
	That's right.
	Essentially they've...
	We're now enemies.
	The military said that the American public, and by the way, if you look at any, we've talked about this before, the American public has been turned into the enemy.
	Yeah.
	Of I don't know who.
	I mean, we're the enemy of who?
	Ourselves?
	Yes.
	We're the enemy and he was aiding us.
	I'm animizing myself.
	Yeah, aiding the enema.
	Yeah.
	Now, the military isn't defining the enemy, but if you look at the charges, it's saying he provided intelligence to the enemy by indirect means, which could lead one to think, okay, the enemy is the Iraqi or Afghan insurgents.
	No, you're so right, John.
	It's us.
	Who's the recipient of this information?
	I got it.
	I'm the enemy.
	I am an enemy of the state.
	He didn't directly hand the intel to them, but they're accusing him of putting it out there publicly, knowing that the enemy could have access to it.
	Chris, I read reports today that Manning was stripped naked in his jail cell.
	His attorney is outraged.
	True?
	Yeah, it is.
	The military admits that he was stripped down naked.
	Now, just to be clear, he's already under this special watch in which he can only sleep in his underwear, so it's not like he's taking off all his clothes.
	This is a sexy report, John.
	This is kind of turning me on.
	When this happened, he was already down to his underwear, but the last couple nights they even took that away from him.
	And for a brief time, he had to stand at attention while he was naked.
	The military is saying this was not punitive, and a Pentagon official today suggested it may have been done to prevent him from hurting himself, to protect him.
	Although it does beg the question, if he's that mentally unstable, perhaps prison is not the right place for him as he awaits trial.
	All right.
	Okay.
	So let me just say something.
	It's not punitive.
	I got a strip and stand at attention.
	Slave.
	Unbelievable.
	Should I tell you something?
	Bradley Manning does not exist.
	It's fake.
	The guy does not...
	No, seriously.
	Where's the interviews with his mom and dad?
	Where's the interviews with his mom and dad?
	Where's his lover that he was in the Photoshop pictures of him in the gay pride parade?
	Where is the outrage?
	There's no one, not a single person has been interviewed.
	Where's his mugshot?
	It's fake.
	The guy does not exist.
	He's a very generic looking guy.
	It's exactly like Wag the Dog.
	The Woody Harrelson character was a made up guy.
	They got some kook, some lame guy who unfortunately got killed before they could actually parade him out in front of the public.
	But they just made it up in the database and gave him a name.
	Old Shoe!
	And this is it.
	Bradley Manning does not exist.
	Until you show this guy to me and he says, I am Private Bradley Manning, I do not believe he exists.
	It's a fake setup and they're lying.
	And he's already down to his underwear.
	What do you know, Jabroni?
	They're just reading off press releases from the Ministry of Truth.
	Bradley Manning does not exist.
	I just don't believe it.
	I don't believe it.
	I mean, we also have the problem with Obama, who we never heard from his girlfriends in college.
	Well, Obama does exist, and there's two of them.
	But we know that he doesn't like women.
	You know what?
	Our media, our mainstream media, goes after everybody and everything.
	How about Jared Lee Loughner?
	David Lee Roth's brother.
	David Lee Loughner.
	We got all kinds of interviews from his school friends.
	We had Twitter accounts.
	Where is that on Bradley Manning?
	Where is the tweets from, you know, he doesn't deserve this, you know?
	Where is it?
	It's not because it doesn't exist.
	Now that I've said it, of course, they're going to start doing that.
	You know, the techno experts, Hillary Clinton's techno experts, we'll have to get on that right away.
	I've tipped my hat to them.
	You know what I'm saying, John?
	Yeah, no, now that you mention it, I think you're nuts, but I'd like to see some evidence, too.
	I'm looking at the wiki page.
	Manning and his older sister, there's Crescent, Oklahoma, so he's got a sister.
	Bradley Manning and his wife, Brian Manning is his dad.
	His wife is Susan Fox.
	He was born in 1953 in Haverford, West Wales.
	Father had been in the United States Navy for five years.
	His parents met when his father was stationed in Wales at Cawdor Barracks.
	How come those people aren't on television?
	Is there some kind of...
	Here, the chat room's sending me a link here.
	Military harassing David House.
	Jane Hampshire for visiting Bradley Manning.
	It's all tweets.
	Yeah, and as a matter of fact, anybody who tries to visit Bradley Manning is harassed.
	No one gets to visit him except the lawyer.
	And he doesn't get to visit him that much.
	And so there's something screwy going.
	Yeah, well, you know, it's definitely not...
	Definitely not what?
	We don't see any...
	You're right.
	Why isn't this guy...
	Why isn't Extra, Extra in Access Hollywood got interviews with the Manning family?
	And as a bi-curious male, once again, I am outraged that my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters are not out demonstrating about this atrocity being...
	You can't take a gay man and strip him of his clothes and put him in his underwear.
	It's sexual harassment.
	And make him stand in detention.
	It's crazy.
	It's crazy.
	Well, there's a Bradley Manning support network formed by Mike Gogulski, a U.S. citizen living in Slovakia.
	To raise money for Manning's defense.
	How convenient.
	Some guy in Slovakia will set it up over there.
	They'll never know.
	I'm telling you, until you prove to me otherwise, does anyone have a birthday video?
	Does he have a Facebook page that's really apparent that he has friends?
	No.
	Just saying.
	Okay.
	Let's do a couple of magic numbers here, John, before we get out of here.
	So I already told you about Twitter's magic version that they just released with the dick bar.
	Version 3.3.
	And you know what that means.
	We're tracking you now.
	Chinese now pay 33% more for gasoline.
	Oh, there's a lot of good business news.
	Here's one of my favorites.
	GM expects sales to jump 33% despite new automobile tax.
	A reminder that we're seeing this number 33 as some kind of code.
	Yeah, we're all going out and buying those great American cars.
	They rock.
	And my favorite, U.S. jobless claims fall to 33-month low.
	Yeah.
	Please.
	Who are you trying to kid?
	Not 32 months or 34 months?
	No, 33.
	It's amazing how that happens.
	A couple of out there news stories.
	This is all stuff I'm tracking and working on.
	Last month it must have been 32 months lower.
	That was not reportable.
	That's not important.
	So, two failed NASA satellite mishaps.
	Yeah, right down from Vandenberg.
	Yeah, and they do it now at like 2 a.m., which is just the wrong time for me to get up and watch it.
	But, you know, it fell into the ocean.
	They can't seem to get the climate change satellites up there.
	Yeah, don't you think that's an interesting coincidence?
	Yeah, I think so.
	That of all the satellites that have blown up, haven't really been able to work, is the ones that were going to quote-unquote prove that climate change was man-made.
	That was the reason for this satellite.
	They don't want to launch it because it won't prove anything.
	Right.
	So it's like, we tried.
	Besides the second one, I think, that blew up.
	Yes, the second one.
	And we tried.
	What a coincidence.
	Coincidence.
	Yeah, I just, well, I'll do it again for you.
	Coincidence?
	I think not.
	No, it's like, you know, we really want to prove this to you guys.
	You know, geez, you know, we got to prove this, but NASA failed us!
	Well, it'll take another couple years to build one and get it all ready and up and going.
	So, until then, just believe us, please.
	That's actually...
	I did have some...
	I did have a little bit of...
	I was going to say, I think that satellite story is the funniest story of the week because it was just like an eye roller.
	Yeah, oh yeah.
	Study shows sixth mass extinction may have already started.
	Oh yeah?
	Yeah.
	A mass extinction?
	Yeah.
	Like everything on Earth?
	Yeah.
	Has an asteroid hit someplace?
	I mean, what's happened?
	Is there a volcano, the greatest volcano?
	Is Yellowstone blown?
	Well, let me tell you.
	A new study, remember, that's how you get news, published in the most recent issue of the journal Nature, these are the guys who keep publishing all this stuff, It states that mass extinction has already started, and, John, and, and, and, it's man-made!
	The theory comes from research done on the state of mammal species today.
	When man's exponential expansion began 500 years ago, mammal extinctions were rare.
	In the past five centuries, at least 80 of 5,570 mammal species have gone extinct.
	This is subtle.
	This is very subtle.
	They do this a lot, but they'll slip it.
	Oh, there's no more tigers.
	Oh, the wolf is gone.
	Oh, this is...
	It's very, very subtle.
	They slip this in and you barely hear it.
	But if you really start paying attention, then it's like they keep talking, oh, well, there's another species, another species, oh, well, let's go on.
	I just want to give you some more of this amazing stuff.
	The same people who told you that children would never see snow ever again, ever, ever, ever, they would only see snow on the internet.
	This is what they wrote in 2000.
	Climate change will wreak havoc on Britain's coastline by 2050.
	And millions living near the coast are likely to be hit by rising sea levels, erosion and storm surges, warns a new study by the Joseph Roundtree Foundation.
	John, you know, we're idiots.
	We've got to start up some studies, man.
	Oh, we can do that.
	Yeah, but we always say we can, but we don't.
	I know, we're big talkers, no action.
	Yeah, because if we had the study show, we might actually get some press.
	We might actually get some ink.
	What are you, Googling a study?
	Joseph Roundtree.
	And just when you thought it was only happening in Gitmo Nation, Great White North, of course I'm talking about the water meters, the wireless water meters that are being installed up there.
	Something coming to your neck of the woods, Johnny boy.
	I already hear you.
	Have you heard the news?
	We're launching an exciting new program to replace all existing water meters with new automated ones.
	Woo!
	Why?
	Automated meters use the best available technology.
	Technology!
	These will no longer have to come out to read your meter.
	Woo!
	You'll get better customer service.
	Woo!
	No, you don't.
	It's exciting!
	John, are you excited?
	Are you pumped up?
	I'm just all worked up.
	So this is from the VSI Meter Services Company.
	Whoa!
	Look into these guys.
	Oh my goodness.
	Links in the show notes at noaginashow.com.
	VSI Meter Services, they do all, they do the smart grids, they do everything.
	And what I love so much is it's a full service company.
	And they're working for SFPUC. That's who delivers your power and water utilities, right?
	Right.
	Hello?
	We have EBMUD. Oh, so maybe it's not you yet.
	So VSI, so listen, from their website, VSI has managed all facets of credit and collections work from the entire notification process through termination and restoration.
	So these guys, what's happened now is they've outsourced this to these goons Techno experts.
	And they will be collecting.
	They'll be showing up at your door if you don't pay.
	And if you are a bad slave, they just hit a button and click, your water turns off.
	Don't even have someone out to the house to turn it off.
	They just flip a switch.
	And they're doing the same for smart grid technology, for electricity.
	This is it.
	This is the final clamp down, the final lock.
	They've got you.
	Now, I do think what's very cool is we have a lot of sysadmins, and when you get one of these installed, hack that puppy.
	Surely they're not thinking that the slaves are smart enough to hack into these boxes.
	It's wireless, so we can jam the frequencies.
	There's all kinds of stuff we can do, and we need to do it.
	We need to do it.
	And it's mandatory.
	You can't get around it.
	You can't get around it.
	It's dreadful.
	I'm looking at the Joseph Roundtree Foundation, by the way.
	They have this little catchphrase, which I think is odd.
	What's the catchphrase?
	I can't wait for it.
	Search, demonstrate, influence.
	Wow.
	So this is their PR company.
	Well, it's hard to say what they are, but they have a lot of studies.
	Wow.
	And they're all about global governance and global warming.
	It seems to be the main thing.
	Wow.
	Impacts of climate change on disadvantaged U.K. coastal communities.
	The impact of global economic downturn on poverty.
	Globalization, U.K. poverty in communities.
	Global influences on the cost of minimum standard.
	Unintended consequences.
	Blah, blah, blah, blah.
	And who funds them?
	Who pays for them?
	I haven't figured that out yet, but probably the Gates Foundation.
	Who knows?
	So I got one more really funny one.
	So GE and Intel, two of our favorite companies, have teamed up to create something known as GE QuietCare.
	John, now this is more for you.
	Because this GE QuietCare is going to improve caregiver attentiveness and resident independence.
	So when you're in an old folks home, you've got to see CareInnovations.com.
	You've got to see this poor sweet grandmother on the homepage.
	She's smiling like, GE Quiet Care is going to take care of me.
	So, you know, of course, we've had this big debate recently and I think, who was it?
	Was it Rooney?
	Mickey Rooney?
	Who's like pissed off?
	Oh yeah, Mickey Rooney supposedly is being battered by some...
	Yeah, because, you know, the old people get bossed around and beat up by these, you know, criminals.
	Criminals beating up our old people.
	We're the only society that doesn't respect old people.
	And, uh, so they've got this system that, uh, you could be assured because, you know, Vivek Kundra is on the case.
	He's got this skip logic and it's all programmed with COBOL. Listen to how we're going to take care of you when you're old and in the old folks' home.
	This is great.
	Hello?
	Why is it not playing?
	There you go.
	Oh, this is weird.
	Oh, here it goes.
	Motion sensors throughout the residence monitor resident activity.
	Data on resident activity is sent to the QuietCare server for software analysis to spot significant changes and behavioral trends.
	Okay.
	Right.
	Alerts for potential emergencies are sent to the staff so they can respond promptly.
	Right.
	Hey!
	Hey, Grandma!
	I don't like your behavioral trend!
	Get back into bed!
	This is unbelievable!
	Senior communities.
	GE Quiet Care introduces a new dimension of proactive care to the elder care community.
	Proactive care is an increasingly valuable method of senior monitoring that empowers caregivers to allow seniors to maintain their privacy and independence while helping senior communities enhance their success by helping caregivers to be informed about resident behavior.
	Hey, stop screwing each other, you old people!
	That's disgusting!
	I'm telling you.
	They can intervene faster.
	This is like so bad.
	GE and Intel.
	I'm giving up on Intel chips.
	Oh shoot, there goes my Mac.
	It's just unbelievable.
	It really is.
	I'm blown away by this kind of stuff.
	Aren't you?
	It's pretty funny.
	It's disgusting.
	Of course, these things are all bogus because they cost too much and no one's going to use them and they won't work right and you end up with the same old...
	It's a start.
	It's a start.
	It's the first step.
	It's the first step in nothing.
	And Intel is doing some other nasty crap.
	What is this IPT? Have you heard about this?
	Identity protection technology that's going to be built into all their chips?
	That's interesting because that goes back a ways.
	I can't remember the name.
	It wasn't secure computing, but there was some catchphrase for some sort of new kind of computing that would be protected from viruses and all these other things.
	It's a one-time password.
	One-time password is not a new idea either.
	That first showed up in the late 90s.
	But that's probably got something to do with the reason they bought McAfee.
	I'm baffled by what Intel's up to because they bought McAfee.
	It doesn't make any sense to me.
	I think they've lost their...
	I mean, they make these great chips.
	I don't know.
	I just don't concentrate on that.
	Well, they've got to have the Gitmo thing going on.
	I guess.
	Somebody must be making them do it.
	So I have one last clip.
	Oh, goody.
	I think we can put it off if you want.
	No, we'll do it.
	Is it Jet Bush?
	Just the post office.
	While I was listening to C-SPAN, I also listened to the post office hearings.
	And apparently the post office is being...
	There's a group of people called the...
	Apparently the government has an HR division that scams all the other agencies.
	Well, hold on.
	The government is one big human resource program controlling all the human resources.
	Yeah, but there's this one group called the Office of Personnel Management, and they do everything.
	And apparently what they've been doing is, for example, with the post office, they've been stealing postage money to make the post office take a beating so they'd have to get more money.
	And they made the post office pay in advance, by the way.
	The post office is actually making billions of dollars.
	But the government has decided to make them pay their retirement benefits for the next 75 years in advance over the next 10 years.
	And now they're broke.
	So every year they're doing 7 1⁄2 years of retirement benefits and they can't make any money.
	And then the money is being stolen from them left and right.
	And so the whole post office thing is this big scam.
	There you go.
	And so play the history of post office rip-offs, which has more information, and I just think people should be aware of this.
	I would also like to point out, with respect to the suggestion that OPM is correct, That stands for other people's money.
	And their assertion that the overpayment does not exist.
	For the benefit of the new members especially, I just want to sort of lay out the history here of OPM denying obligations and what the results have been.
	Going back to 2002, the Postal Service Pension Fund was found to be Overfunded by OPM by $78 billion, and we in Congress had to go back in 2003 and tell OPM, you've got to straighten this out.
	So there was an overpayment there of $78 billion.
	Then in 2003, OPM attempted to make the Postal Service pick up the responsibilities for military service pensions, obligations for Postal Service employees.
	So if they're in the service, they wanted the Post Office to pick up their pension, Credits that were due because of the military service.
	And we said that that would not be right.
	So Congress rejected that attempt.
	In 2009, we found that OPM used an exaggerated 7% health care appreciation inflation forecast instead of the 5% that is the industry standard.
	And that resulted in an overpayment of $13.2 billion by 2016.
	So we had to go back and we ordered OPM Cut that out.
	You know, use this industry standard.
	And so OPM then went back and changed it.
	And now the Postal Service has been overcharged by $75 billion for its share of CSRS pensions for folks, for their pension credits before they became...
	USPS employees.
	People have to understand that.
	These are pension credits for folks before they went to work for the post office, but they've been overcharged, and the post office is picking up the inflation for those costs.
	So there's a whole history here of the OPM. And look, anybody can make a mistake, but in every single case...
	OPM overcharged the post office by tens of billions of dollars.
	So that's the record we have here.
	Those are the facts.
	And, you know, there does seem to be a...
	Oh, and by the way, the OPM wrote a rather gratuitous letter that they thought, by God, the post office should have to pre-fund their...
	Their healthcare obligation is 100%, pre-funded by 100%.
	But if you look at what OPM is doing, they pre-fund their obligations at 40%.
	So you would think what's good for the goose is good for the gander, but that's not the case.
	So I just wanted to make those clarifications just for some of the newer members that are on board here.
	Mr.
	Orlando, in my remaining time before I run up to help...
	So this opium business is pretty big in the postal system.
	All kinds of opium.
	OPM. They're sending opium around.
	So anyway, so the point is that we're probably paying too much for postage.
	Duh!
	By a lot.
	Not winning.
	Not winning, duh.
	If you find this type of analysis and actual news that we bring you, because what we do is we sit down and we are on the brink of death through boredom by watching this crap, so you don't have to, and we break it down for you, and we do do a total of four to five hours a week of real analysis, real news.
	We can't cover everything, and sometimes even we get duped.
	Stick this in your ear.
	Because we need your support.
	The more you fund, the more we can do, the less other work we have to do.
	I haven't been able to do a daily source code for weeks because I've had to pick up the slack on the donations with corporate work.
	sucks.
	Not only do I hate giving up time, because I'm also working on the noagendanewsnetwork.com, it's like into the middle of the night on that stuff, but it's also, it's annoying.
	Corporate work is annoying.
	It's not just that it's taking away time from doing the show, it's annoying.
	And I disagree with your assertion that if we did a Tuesday show that Thursday would suck, If we had enough time, because there's certainly...
	I mean, I have 10, 15 more stories that we can do that we'll never get to.
	I mean, the DC Hookers.
	I mean, there's a whole bunch of stuff.
	Oh, save that one for the next show.
	I didn't even get to the DC Hookers.
	The DC Hookers has got to be in the next show.
	Okay.
	Well, if I remember...
	I'll remind you.
	Okay.
	Hey, remember, we've got the techno expert song coming up right after the show.
	And thank you all so much for listening.
	Thank you for your giving levels.
	Coming to you from Gitmo Nation West in the People's Republic of Southern California.
	Yay!
	I'm the anarchist known as Adam Curry.
	And I'm White Dog.
	From Northern Silicon Valley, John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Thursday, right here on No Agenda.
