Time Text
All these guys, they all got tents.
What is this tent thing all of a sudden?
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, March 24th, 2011.
Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 289er.
This is no agenda.
Leading a conga line of representatives to impeach President George W. Obama here from the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, Gimba Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California.
In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I don't get to restart the show on a whim, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
In the morning to you, Johnny Boy.
Hey, hey.
In the morning, all ships at sea.
Boots on the ground, wings in the skies, bakers in the kitchens, checks in the mails, dungs in the pits.
And anybody napping for humanity, especially those human resources who are all charged up and ready to go in the chat room at NoAgendaStream.com, charged up just the way their government loves them, so that they can be worth their $9.1 million.
Yep.
Yep.
I'm light today.
I'm light.
You're light?
I mean, I got clips and stuff, but it's like...
How can you be light?
It's all that was going on.
I mean, there's like a ton of stuff going on.
You must have been busy.
Wait, let me guess.
You were hobnobbing it with the Hollywood elites.
Yeah, oh, you found me out.
Dude, I'm sitting on a blue air cushion to protect my ass.
That's how long I've been at the computer.
No way.
No.
No, but it's like this...
It's just a lot of Libya stuff.
A lot.
It's all there is.
It's ridiculous.
I hope this...
Unfortunately, I played the permaclip, by the way, I have on there, which is the one that I think we should start the show with, but also a clip that we should just keep at least...
We'll keep it available for use in the next month or two.
Let me emphasize that we anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Well, it's been very interesting to see, of course, on Sunday, we read from the Constitution of the United States of America, which seems to have caught on with our representatives.
Maybe I should consult that thing there.
What's that thin little book?
Constitution.
And a lot of people are coming out and saying, hey, you know, this is unconstitutional.
We're not under direct attack, so you can't use the Presidential War Powers Act.
And it's good to see that, but I'm sure it's going to get snooze under.
It's mostly Kocinich that's pushing it.
No, no, no, that's not true.
There was a Senator...
He doesn't do it right, so I didn't even pull a clip from him.
Ralph Nader was pretty blatant about it.
He was good.
And actually, you know, it's amazing.
You know who's standing in line?
Vice President Joe O'Biden.
Did you know that?
What?
Yeah.
Oh, Biden.
Oh, Biden wants to impeach the president.
What?
Yes, have a listen.
Where did you get this?
That would have been an impeachable offense.
Do you want to review that comment you made?
Absolutely.
Well, how do you stand on that now?
Yes, I do.
I want to stand by that comment I made.
The reason I made the comment was as a warning.
The reason I made...
I don't say those things lightly, Chris.
You've known me for a long time.
I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee for 17 years or its ranking member.
I teach separation of powers and constitutional law.
This is something I know.
So I got together and brought a group of constitutional scholars together to write a piece that I'm going to deliver to the whole United States Senate pointing out the President has no constitutional authority.
To take this national war against a country of 70 million people, unless we're attacked, or unless there is proof that we are about to be attacked.
And if he does, if he does, I would move to impeach him.
The House obviously has to do that, but I would lead an effort to impeach him.
The reason...
Wait, wait, wait.
Dodds from 2007, obviously.
Did I actually have you going for a minute there?
I was listening to it, but I realized because there was a reference in there.
72 million people.
That's too much.
It was about Iran.
But this, of course, was when O. Biden was not VP, and he had a big-ass mouth.
Just substitute George W. Bush for George W. Obama, and you're good to go.
It's perfect.
And it's actually...
I saw this amazing...
You know this Twitters thing the kids are all about, John?
You've heard about this?
Yeah.
This Twitters thing?
It's cool.
So what's cool about it is you can save some of these things.
And people...
There are some people who from time to time will...
We'll save tweets by certain people.
Let's see, we have some tweets from George McCain.
What's his name?
I'm really bad today.
George McCain is fine.
George McCain.
So this is a tweet from George McCain from, let me see, hold on a second.
Well, it had to be in the past couple of years since the Twitters have only been out for that long.
About five years, about five years.
Yeah, why is the page taken so long?
You know, it's like it's got to load some pop-up ad or something.
I hate it.
You have too much gear rigged up on your system.
No, I don't.
In fact, I'm completely light on the system.
Oh, it's waiting for the Facebook API. Here we go.
This is from...
Let me see.
What's the date on this particular tweet?
August 2009.
Senator John McCain.
George John McCain.
Late evening with Colonel Qaddafi at his ranch in Libya.
Interesting meeting with an interesting man.
Hey, great tweet there, dude.
What an idiot.
And then we've got a cable.
A cable from Senator Joe Lieberman.
I guess nobody has given these people the memo about the internets.
Interwebs.
So, Senator Pete Lieberman.
I have people that are dredging up stuff I did in 1984 about the Macintosh mouse.
I mean, I've got a clue.
Whatever you say, just expect it to be thrown back in your face someday.
So here's the one from Pete Lieberman.
Now remember, it was George McCain and Pete Lieberman who were calling this, you know, never again.
We played that two weeks ago.
Never again.
It's a holocaust.
Well, so here we go from a WikiLeaks cable after meeting with Gaddafi, with McCain, by the way, and other senators, praises Libya as, quote, an important ally in the war on terrorism.
He's like, dudes, give me a break here for a second.
These links are in the show notes, noagendashow.com, shutupslaves.com.
It's just hilarious.
It's outrageous.
Ralph Nader also.
Ralph Nader, I don't think people take him serious enough, unfortunately.
But he came out and said, you want to hear Ralph or are you over it?
I got a bunch of clips I'm going to have to bore you with, so you might as well begin the bore fest.
Veterans for Peace, which start with World War II veterans all the way to the present Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, are making a powerful statement for the rule of law, for advocating peace, for getting out of Afghanistan and Iraq.
If you took a poll of the soldiers in Afghanistan, as a poll was taken in Iraq in January 2005, the majority would say, let's get out of here.
It's a Quagmire, all we're doing is creating new enemies, slaughtering innocents, spending huge amounts of money that can be spent back home to create jobs, and violating our constitutional processes.
You know, let's be very forthright, Juan.
George W. Bush and Cheney committed war crimes.
They had surveillance of Americans illegally.
They unconstitutionally pursued wars in Asia.
They slaughtered innocents.
And they were considered war criminals by many people, including Republican former Judge Andrew Napolitano, author of four books on the Constitution, and Republican Bruce Fein.
Now, Barack Obama is committing the same crimes.
Yeehaw!
In fact, the worst ones in Afghanistan.
Yay!
And innocents are being slaughtered.
We're creating more enemies.
So, you know, I received at least...
I'm going to say 20.
It may have been more.
But conservatively, 20 emails from people who, after listening to the last No Agenda show, 288...
You know, I voted for George W. Obama, and I'm so happy that I listened to the No Agenda show because it really opens up my eyes.
And the unfortunate thing about all of these emails is exactly what you said.
It's like, what was I supposed to do?
Was I supposed to vote for the other guy?
Like, yeah, we don't have just two parties in this country.
You could vote for people like Ron Paul.
And it's very important that people understand that.
Because every single one is like, well, what am I supposed to do?
I couldn't vote for McCain.
That's what you said.
You said the exact same thing.
Not with that voice.
However, there is very good news, John.
There's good news for the 2012 elections.
It looks like Michelle Bachman is going to run.
Oh, God.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's one mother I'd like to.
It's going to be interesting.
It's another hottie.
Another hottie in the race.
These guys have no shame when it comes to putting on the big show.
They don't care.
It's like, hey, you know what?
The last show we did, the 2008 show, we should do...
Palin's overplayed.
She's like Snooki now.
Like Snooki from Jersey Shore.
Oh, yeah, no, she's done.
She's done.
So we've got to get a new hottie in there.
And I think Michelle Bachman is great.
She's awesome.
And she's crackpotty and everything.
She's better than Sarah Palin.
Does she have a book out?
She will soon.
Not yet.
She's got to crank one out.
You can't become president without a book.
Now, let's be honest about it.
But it's just hilarious.
It's pouring rain in this area.
I've got water dribbling through this window here.
Oh, my God.
It's getting on the desk.
You have no idea what the storm is.
Wait a minute.
Your house is leaking?
Yes.
The window's apparently leaking and I got a bunch of water.
It's going to cost us extra money.
It's going to blow!
Yeah, that too.
I check my bill.
I swear to God, I pay extra sewage drainage charges for more rain.
The whole rain thing is a scam.
It's just a scam to take more money from us.
So let's go over something.
We can either talk some more about this now or we can do the executive producer thing and get it out of the way, which I'd like to.
Well, it's not a question of getting it out of the way.
It's an honorable position that we need to...
Yes, I'm sorry I used the terminology I did, but I'm just saying it might be better to do that now so people will at least get their kudos at...
And if they don't want to hear about Libya and the kind of takes that we have on it.
And by the way, I've got a couple of real weird ones taking the crackpot position on a couple of things.
But generally speaking...
You don't say.
It's mostly about...
Most of what I got out of the thing is the warmongering that takes place by these cable news guys on both the right and the left.
O'Reilly is an unbelievable warmonger.
Oh, he's like, this is good.
Let's go for it.
And a liar.
And then I've got Rachel Maddow, who's a warmonger, and that guy Ed Schwartz, the Ed Show, who's a warmonger.
He's all for this.
But you know what it is?
This actually sexually excites them.
This is what you have to understand.
It is an actual sexual sensation.
Turn off the sound when they're talking about this, and look at Maddow just get sexually excited.
Bill O'Reilly, too, for whatever he can.
They get turned on by it.
This was the whole thing with Walter Cronkite.
Ed Murrow is like being a correspondent, being a war correspondent.
That's the pinnacle of journalism for these jabronis.
Who went to J school, which is jabroni school.
They love it.
Deny it.
Denounce it.
I'll denounce it.
I denounce it.
But you agree with it.
Well, I never thought about it, but Rachel seems to be a bit giddy.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It's hot.
And what is the deal with all these correspondents who are in Tripoli and, you know, we have to get on the bus, get off the bus.
I mean, who's driving the bus?
Who's in charge?
Oh, we're not allowed to go there.
Who?
Who's telling you what to do and what not to do?
I've got one good correspondent clip that is, as you hear this, you go, oh, great, we're toast.
Okay.
But let me thank a few people first.
All right.
And I also got a couple of latecomers that came in I want to get them into, and they're not on the spreadsheet, but I'll thank them in the process.
In other words, we have two executive producers.
Nice.
Standalones?
Standalones, two co-executive producers and two associates.
We have a pretty good group today.
Let's start with Lloyd Kransky in Perth, Western Australia.
I've been listening to you blokes for ages.
High time I kicked in with a 333.
Just sent in through PayPal.
If you ever make it down to Perth, hit me up showing you around.
Big call out for Maynard F Sharp Crabs.
Is that Maynard in Australia?
I guess.
Our buddy Maynard?
Could be.
I must be.
Yeah.
Who, apart from doing a sterling job perpetuating the no agenda meme down this way, was responsible for turning me into this might be Giants fanboy when he was a triple three in the 90s.
I don't know what he's talking about.
It's code and it's all good, John.
Maynard's efforts must be paying off because the latest episode of Hungry Beast is right up your alley.
It's called Secrets and you can download it from here and he gave us a link.
Maynard is basically taking some of our formula and he's slipping it into mainstream media in Australia.
He's getting away with it because everyone's just oblivious.
I love the obliviousness of the mainstream media that are all tuned in.
They're completely...
They're completely oblivious to what he's doing.
He's got to watch it because he's going to get too good and he's going to get canned.
That's what he's going to look out for.
When I listen to him, because you play his clips all the time, it's like, oh man, this is a little over the top, don't you think?
No, I think he jumped the shark when he did.
John C. Dvorak is a sausage expert.
Remember that one?
The sausage expert?
No, no.
Naina's awesome and we love it.
You know what?
We're going to Australia.
Just like Chelsea lately.
We've got to do an Australia trip.
We can do it.
And our other stand-alone executive, Borislav Marinoff, Sir Marinoff, as a matter of fact, from Aliso Viejo, California.
Since I'm a no-agenda knight, please consider this as an initial deposit for my kids' knighthood.
They just turned six today.
I guess there's two of them.
March 23rd, 2011.
Can you send lots of karma to Yassi and Moni?
Why don't we hand out some karma?
I love doing that.
Yassi and Moni, here you go.
You've got karma.
Yeah, they're on the birthday list.
And they're on the birthday list.
Please, I didn't mention the karma thing, but last time I donated on something.
Kaiser put my son back on the surgery schedule.
Now he is a very happy kid turning six.
In other words, the karma worked.
PPS, I was wondering whether to donate 111 for each of them, but the magic number didn't work out.
So I decided to lump sum a 333.
Hopefully they get to an idea by the time they become teenagers.
So we hope so too.
And then we got Joshua Getsit.
We hope we're alive.
From Plano, Texas, $300.
A member of the number 300 show club, which we just had a mailing out.
Anybody out there who goes through your email today, you should have a mailing right now from John C. Dvorak, Adam Curry, and No Agenda Show.
This is an associate executive producer?
No, he'll be an executive producer because that's the deal we made.
Oh, right.
And who is this again?
Joshua?
Joshua Gertzen.
And Richard...
Yeah, it's got to be Haraznic.
In Easton, Pennsylvania.
John and Adam.
He's another 300 Club member.
Thanks for the great show.
I would like to be re-douched.
I don't have a jingle for that.
Yeah, just douchebag.
Oh, okay.
Douchebag!
With the exception of not contributing to no agenda after listening for two years, I enjoy being a douchebag.
Okay.
Okay.
That's different.
And then we have...
One more, which is not on the list, which is John Schumann, another member of the 300 Club.
He might have a note, but we'll have to read it later because it's not in his PayPal thing.
I'm looking, looking, looking real quick.
And then we have our associate executive producers, which are Larry Lee, Sir Larry Lee, Granite Shoals, Texas, a sole member of the 259er Club.
Now he's the sole member of the 289er Club.
So I'm lonesome.
Hopefully I'm not the sole member of the 289er Club.
Whoops!
Sorry, Larry.
Matthew Livingstone, Sudbury, Ontario, $200.
John and Adam love the show and cannot think of a more positive way to invest $200.
Please keep up the great work and we will do that as long as you guys are helping us like this.
Thank you.
Awesome, man.
Thank you so much.
That's it?
Yeah, that's it.
Okay, that's good.
Remember now...
So look for the mailing.
It just popped into my email box.
Nice, John.
Got some of that art in there from Thijs Brauers.
It was a nice little multimedia email.
Nice experience.
Every once in a while I get carried away.
Sometimes it works out.
Yeah, as long as it doesn't blow up, the CSS doesn't blow up.
So 300 Club is open.
You'll get the email about that.
If you have not received it, maybe look in your spam, although I think we've alleviated most of those problems.
And, of course, just like Hollywood, everyone who receives a credit today, it's a real credit.
You can put it on any official website.
You can put it on your IMDB.
Unlike the phonies in Hollywood, we will vouch for you if needed.
No problem.
So we thank our executive producer, standalone Lloyd Kransky, executive producer, standalone Sir Boris Loftmarinov, executive producers and 300 club members.
Joshua Gertson, Richard Hraznek, and John Schumann, and all there by himself as an associate executive producer and 289 Club member, Sir Larry Lee, and, of course, our associate executive producer, Matthew Livingstone.
Thank you so much, everybody else out there.
You know what to do.
You need to go out and propagate our formula loud and proud.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
World Order.
All right, say it loud and proud, all you slaves.
All right.
Shut up, slaves!
Shutupslaves.com.
Oh, I forgot PR mentions.
We've got some good ones.
First of all, thanks to Matt Schauer, who was executive producer of episode 256, also a No Agenda Minute Man.
He went to the Twin Cities Auto Show, and he planted NoAgendaShow.com business cards and stickers on all of the hot cars, and he sent some pictures along with it.
Yeah, great initiative.
I really like that.
And he has a website where you can check some of those pictures.
We need more stickers at toll booths.
Yeah.
So a couple of forwards that go from a brand new domain name to the noagendashow.com domain name.
Antidote2ignorance.com, which is pretty good, I thought.
Then we have batshitcrazy.com.
Nice.
Loveyoulongtime.com, which has got to be one of the best ones.
Also, wikiarguments.org, throw-a-shoe.com, doasyouaretold.com, which I think is one of the better ones this week.
I really like that one.
Biodiversityftw.com.
AskCurry.com and DistractedSlave.com.
Now remember, you can use any of these if you're talking to someone about the No Agenda show.
Just say, why don't you just go to DistractedSlave.com.
People will remember stuff like that.
DistractedSlave.
I have one more.
Finally, it's out.
It is now in the App Store, the No Agenda Human Resource game for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
Link in the show notes, noagendashow.com.
This is a hilarious game.
I'll read it from the description.
No Agenda Human Resource brings everything you love about the No Agenda podcast into a playable adventure.
Help guide Adam Curry the crackpot and John C. Dvorak the buzzkill through this physics-based puzzle and unlock some hidden goodies along the way.
Also, half of the profits will be donated back to the show, value for value.
I also want to thank Shana, also known as Pepper's Mama.
She's the one who does the final look for the typos in the mailings that I do every time I do a mailing.
The first one I sent a year ago was she sent me this nasty note about the typos and said that she'd take a look at them.
She actually always finds two or three.
I found one.
You got my input, right?
Yeah.
Did you take my input?
Oh yeah, absolutely.
That wasn't a typo.
That was a phrasing error.
No, you had out show instead of our show.
Doesn't matter.
It's irrelevant.
Good job.
No, I was more interested in that you...
I said don't...
Oh, yeah, right, right, right.
I said remember.
Yeah, I said don't forget, which is a...
If you're going to...
We talk about this on the show.
Instead of...
You know, you don't tell people a negative because then they'll still do it.
They'll forget.
Because the brain can't remember negative information, so they'd forget.
So I said remember.
And...
Yeah, it's actually an error I usually don't make, but...
Well, it's your cough medicine.
Yeah.
All right, so we talk about...
Back to work.
Yeah, right.
Back to the millstone.
Let's talk about these jabroni journalists getting all sexually excited about war.
Well, let's start with a couple of the ones that I have here, which is...
Ed Schwartz, Maddow.
Well, I got a couple for Maddow.
Maddow is interesting because here's what's interesting.
Let's listen to Maddow clip.
I want to deconstruct something kind of amusing about it.
I think there's two of them on here.
And let's see, what are they?
They're Maddow.
I got Monger and Maddow, too.
The difference with Mr.
Obama as president is that he appears to be walking more of that walk as well as talking that talk.
Mr.
Obama not making an Oval Office address to the nation.
Mr.
Obama repeatedly stressing the limited nature of U.S. involvement.
Promising there will be no ground troops in Libya no matter what, leaving the overall question of an intervention until the UN Security Council resolution could be passed on the subject and then actually following the UN Security Council's decision.
The White House overtly acknowledging and making widely known that it sees France and Britain and Arab countries as in the lead here.
The US waiting until there was a clear international consensus before doing anything on our own.
I can just see him now.
Okay, Rachel is re-invited to the White House Christmas party.
Yes, you can come back.
So she's all for this war.
Hey, Rachel, let's kill some brown people.
She's all for the war, but if you listen to the second clip, you finally figure out what it is.
Maybe she's always been a warmonger, but she likes this style.
Style over substance.
Did she ever care about...
No, she didn't like the way Bush did it, but it's okay the way Obama does it.
I mean, it's just totally...
She gives Obama style points.
So war is great if you do it this way.
I agree.
He kills people in style.
He's got style about it.
He doesn't bother announcing it.
He just does it.
He's hunting in South America.
Yeah, listens to the U.N. He's much more casual.
Yeah, he kowtows to the U.N., who I guess are our new Uber lords.
The U.N. tells him what to do and he does it.
Yeah, awesome.
Let's hear how Rachel feels about it.
We've actually declined the opportunity to do that in a way that US presidents usually do.
President Obama taking all sorts of criticism from the right over the past few days for not canceling his trade visit to Latin America as a result of this military action in Libya.
And, of course, the White House knew that criticism would come.
But their decision to go ahead with the trip anyway, to forego the chest-thumping commander-in-chief theater that usually goes with the start of a military intervention of any kind, that in itself is a fascinating and rather blunt demonstration of just how much this presidency is not like that of George W. Bush.
Oh, my God!
Is that pathetic or what?
Yeah, you know, he's really so awesome because, you know, he just kills people and then, like, you know, chills up.
And he's much casual about it.
He just does it.
He walks the walk.
We know why he went to Rio.
One of our producers had to alert us to that.
We totally blew that one.
Of course, for the launch of the movie Rio, which came out.
There's a movie coming out real because there's no other reason for him to go to Rio except to promote the movie.
It came out while he was in Rio.
The news is full of Rio.
Boom, they've got the red carpet premiere for Rio.
And Angry Birds Rio came out.
Yeah.
I mean, come on.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Hold on.
Coincidence?
I think not.
So, meanwhile...
Wait a minute.
So, Rachel Maddow, shame on you.
Shame on you.
Yeah.
Terrible.
He's not like Bush where he gets a flight jacket on and a helmet because, you know, Obama can't fly.
He's like, no, he's just cool.
He chills and go hang out and play some soccer with the kids.
He's chilling, man, while he's...
Chillin' while killin'.
Chillin' while killin'.
This is the title of the show.
Chillin' while killin'.
Hey man, I'm just chillin' while I'm killin'.
It's disgusting.
And by the way, it's disgusting.
It's totally disgusting.
So we have one more warmonger.
Ed Schwartz, the Ed Show.
This guy's all over everybody.
He's a douche.
He not only does the same thing and gives them style points, but he actually comes out and says, this is a great idea.
Here we go.
He's not doing it the way they would want to do it.
President Obama has decided on a more focused, realistic approach.
He's trying to give the rebels, those who want democracy, a fighting chance at just that, and trying to stop Gaddafi, this is the human thing to do, from slaughtering his own people.
Slaughtering!
Now, aside from all the reasons for this mission, you will never convince me that Qaddafi didn't have a hand in the Lockerbie bombing.
You'll never convince me that Qaddafi hasn't supplied resources to terrorists.
Given the fact Americans died on that 747 over Lockerbie...
I'm all for this mission.
Hey, Ed, why don't we open up that investigation, buddy?
Why don't we take a look at the suitcases of cocaine and the CIA's involvement, huh?
Why don't we do that, Ed?
Reopen that.
Hey, Mr.
Journalist.
Ed Schwartz and O'Reilly are on the exact same page on this because O'Reilly keeps bringing up this 20...
When was the locker being?
1988?
What, 28, 19, 23 years ago.
Hey, if you wanted a problem with Qaddafi, why don't you do something in kind of the time frame instead of rushing at the last minute?
Why don't you go in and bomb England when they let the so-called guy behind the whole thing go?
Scotland, I believe.
Yeah, well, that's better, probably.
Yeah, it's easier to bomb them.
It's easier to bomb Scotland.
This is unbelievable!
These guys are like horrible people.
Like?
No, they are.
They are horrible people.
So, of course, this is all wag the dog.
This whole thing is scripted and set up.
And I heard this amazing report.
Because, you know, we've got to have footage, right?
The only footage I've seen so far is of a plane...
I think the guy's lighter blew up while he was lighting up his joint and the thing falls out of the sky.
I've seen no bombing raids, nothing.
That stupid plane we talked about last week.
They have no footage.
They have no footage of all of this slaughter, this holocaust according to George McCain.
So they've got to use file footage, but how do you get around it?
It's all B-roll!
Well, listen to this.
So they're showing the Libyan army shooting massive rockets at something.
And you just see a row of tanks shooting stuff.
So how do they get away with saying that it's B-roll?
And by the way, listen for the shill name in here as well.
Both sides are talking tough.
A rebel spokesperson told me, or I should say a spokesperson for the new transitional government told me, quote, we have the resolve.
The motto is we win or we die.
And he says they will not surrender to Gaddafi.
Clearly the battles are continuing in our West and Mizraha.
A civilian population continuing to get pounded there.
We're told that there are coalition airstrikes now to try and take out Gaddafi's tanks and military might in that western town.
And then south of us in Ashdabi, a strategic location about 90 miles below Benghazi, that's where Gaddafi's forces have created the eastern front line.
And that's where rebel soldiers continue to engage those forces and are being beaten back.
We heard of several Killed and wounded yesterday, and again the day before that, locals tell us they can't go home.
When they try to get back in, they have to leave very quickly because Gaddafi's forces are in control of Ajdabi.
And you mentioned that cell phone video.
We got that from a local resident who told us that it came from the phone of a Gaddafi soldier who dropped it.
So, they're showing this footage of these tanks shooting at something, and the way they get away with lying about where the footage comes from is some dude picked it up because a Gaddafi fighter dropped his cell phone and he had taken pictures of that with it.
What a crock.
That is unbelievable.
Now listen, and of course, his whole report is filled with, you know, we spoke to sources, you know, people, some guys, some dude.
They're not saying who, but then the name crops up, John.
Here it comes.
And they found it and showed us a video of that rocket attack.
Pretty dramatic stuff.
We should also mention that the transitional government now has a new temporary leader.
His name is Mahmoud Jibril.
Oh, Mahmoud Jibril.
Jabril, John.
Do you remember Mahmoud Jabril?
What transitional government?
This is the one that has a website.
Oh, no.
Yeah, Jabril is the guy that studied in Philly.
He's now the leader of the transitional government with a website, according to George McCain.
It's unbelievable, people.
I can't watch anymore.
I just go like...
Okay, well, I have a clip then that you definitely need to listen to.
This clip was...
Oh, I'm sorry.
I dropped my cell phone.
After warmonger Maddow, I don't know what she expected from this guy, but this is one of the best foreign correspondents.
I've always liked his reports because they're extremely honest, and they never play him on the network, and they keep him off the air, actually.
Richard Engel from NBC News.
Richard, what kind of impact is the Western intervention having on Qaddafi's forces?
The strategy, at least the declared strategy, is essentially to make things safe enough for the rebels that they can win on their own.
Do you see anything like that happening?
That's going to be a tough one.
These rebels are divided into two groups.
They're the volunteers, and these rebels have really no military experience, very little sophistication, very little education, a lot of bravado, but when the actual fighting happens, most of them run away.
We were with rebels today who didn't know how to load their weapons.
They were dropping rounds of ammunition on the ground.
A lot of them are fighting for weird conspiracy theories.
I would say one in five of the rebels told me today that they're fighting because they think Qaddafi is Jewish.
So they do not have the same ideals that a lot of Americans probably think they do have.
The other group of the rebels is people, units that have defected from Qaddafi's army.
And if we're waiting for these defected units to go and suddenly storm the front lines, I think we may have to be waiting a little bit longer.
I went looking for one of the top commanders here in Tobruk, actually the top commander in Tobruk, and we went to the military base and we knocked on the door.
He decided to take the day off.
And I was shocked at that.
You would think if the U.S. military had just joined your revolution after two-plus days, that this wouldn't be the apt time to go home and spend some time with the family.
Unbelievable.
Gaddafi's Jewish.
This report, this is after warmonger Maddow goes on with her rant, comes out, and this has been dropped.
You're never going to hear that clip ever again, or it's never even going to be discussed.
So I have, I think, the clip of the week.
Regarding this, because this whole thing, of course, is scripted.
Most of these jabroni journalists, the JJs, they can't even point to Libya on a map.
They're just sitting there, just reading off the teleprompter.
And this guy on Global News, I'm not quite sure what it is, he comes back from a piece, and I think something's wrong with the teleprompter.
And he tries to, you know, because if you or I were there, John, we would just ignore the teleprompter and just try and get out of it, but at least we'd be speaking English.
Now listen to how this guy fails at getting out of the teleprompter problem.
Get the IV from killing civilians.
So if it takes ground forces, it's going to be at ground forces.
Meaning it may have only just begun.
Mark McAllister, Global News.
Now, Defense Minister McCain-McLeil did confirm today that more than 54-18 fighter jets are spending about as much as 20 and ready to assist the 600 deployed over the...
Announce needed.
Now, it did depend on how the NOLAN remerges RN while the university or the UN mission has whole received support from all batteries in the hues of the gardens of today.
Excuse me.
I'll hand it back to you.
Thank you, Mark McAllister from Japan tonight.
What?
The University of...
George McCloud?
He throws McCloud in like Sam McCloud.
That's the pathetic week.
I got to listen to a little bit of that.
That's so funny.
Confirmed today that more than 54, 18 fighter jets are spending about as much as 20 and ready to assist.
I don't have to clip Andy, but this is like that South Carolina junior miss.
Who gave that stupid answer that's all over the internet.
Right.
You gotta send me that clip.
I gotta mash it up with that woman.
That's funny.
It's so funny.
He's just like throwing random words out.
University.
George McLeod.
Yeah, that's your news, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to your news.
No wonder people like to support this show.
We're actually doing something for you.
Well, we're not buying into the...
We don't have a script.
It's no agenda, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah, we don't have...
That's right.
There's no script.
That's for sure.
Oh, my goodness.
It's good, though, because I get to laugh.
I feel so good sometimes.
We get to laugh at the news.
Well, it's not just at the news.
It's at the world.
Well, that's, yeah.
Yeah.
It makes me feel good.
Just to beat this up some more.
Yeah, please.
I don't know.
I got, like, we can play this short.
I got a short clip of Anderson Cooper talking about how the Arab League is...
He's so handsome.
...is bailing out.
Yeah.
Which is kind of funny.
I mean, it's kind of a humorous clip.
What is the Arab League?
Let's just talk about that for a second.
Just a bunch of the biggest moguls, these despots, a bunch of despots in the Middle East who call the shots for each other.
Before we go to your Anderson clip, and by the way, he's a handsome fellow.
He's a good-looking guy.
He's a good-looking man.
George Galloway from Gitmo Nation East was on the evening news.
Now, not the BBC, unfortunately.
They'll never let him on anymore.
But on Sky News, which I think a lot of people watch.
He's a politician, but he's kind of a weird one because he also, before the elections, he was running for something like five years ago.
He went on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK. He was in the Big Brother house.
And that kind of tends to mess up your credibility a little bit.
I would think.
But he laid it down, man, particularly about the Arab League.
And listen to the reporter.
She's like, what?
What?
What?
But she's completely confused.
She doesn't understand that anyone would say that, you know, we have to go after Gaddafi because, you know, he's massacring people.
It's a holocaust.
A duty to stop a humanitarian crisis from unfolding.
Do you agree with him?
Well, it's the double standards that get me.
There's more people being gunned down, innocent protesters in Yemen, for example.
And no one would dream of invading or imposing a no-fly zone on Yemen because Yemen doesn't have oil.
It's so transparently an attempt to protect British companies and other Western companies' massive investments in Libya that it is discredited in the Arab world.
I saw your package saying there are Arab representatives at this meeting.
Who are these Arab representatives?
They can't even name themselves or the countries that they come from.
But we know that the Arab League came out publicly and backed the UN resolution.
But the Arab League is a collection of dictatorships.
So we shouldn't be dealing with Arab nations, is what you're saying?
No, but don't pray them in aid of an operation that's supposed to be standing up for human rights and democracy.
The Arab League, without exception, is a collection of puppet presidents, corrupt kings, every one of them a dictator, every one of them now currently shooting their own people who are demonstrating for us.
Well, that's right, but what's the alternative?
Do we stand by and watch Canada killing his people?
Well, we are standing by, but we are standing by watching the Yemen president killing his people.
We're standing by watching the Bahrain king killing his people.
So what's the difference between them and Libya?
Everyone watching this knows the difference is a dirty little three-letter word.
Ah, what could that three-letter word be, John?
Oh, let me think.
Three-letter word.
Bats.
Bats.
Oil.
So let's not pretend it's about anything.
But Libya only produces 2% of the world's oil.
That's my favorite.
Libya only produces 2% of the world's oil.
Do you know how much that is, dingbat?
Dingbat.
What a ditz!
2%.
Do you know how much that is?
Anyway, he goes on to talk about the 50, 5-0 billion pounds.
Not to mention the fact that they have so many reserves, it's ridiculous.
Yeah.
These people that are doing these sorts of interviews, they're as uneducated as apparently the rebels are in Libya.
They're actors!
They're hot-looking babes who just read Teleprompter, or in that guy's case, not.
They're actors.
You know, yesterday I had The Miz here at the studio.
You know, the irony is I want to get a bit part in a movie.
Do you know The Miz?
Do you know who The Miz is?
No, who's The Miz?
The Miz is the reigning WWE champion.
I'm glad you're channel surfing enough to know that little factoid.
No, I don't.
But I know because these guys love the Big App Show and they love to have their champions whenever there's a WrestleMania come by the show.
So, this guy was on MTV's Real World in 2001.
And I have to say, he worked at it.
He was on every single reality show.
But here's the cool thing.
He comes into the house.
He's like, hey man, how you doing?
The guy that was over at your house?
Yeah, at the studio.
Well, house quote studio, yeah.
The Miz?
The Miz, yeah.
Oh, dude, I'm getting Jenny McCarthy's coming.
All kinds of, you know, all kinds of cool people.
Yeah.
Anyway, just hot babes.
That's all I want.
So I'm working on the hot babes.
He's a good-looking guy.
But he comes in, and immediately he's like, hey, man, you really did a cool thing.
This is pretty awesome how you've gotten to this point.
This is before we start the interview.
He's like, yeah, you know, these guys at the WWE, they're so cool.
And they gave me a couple books to read, and they really helped me form my image.
And he's talking about how he created this whole character.
Yeah.
It's like completely acting.
Yeah, no, that's been that way on the WWE. No, I know, and everybody knows it, but it's just so funny that, you know, with like the WWE rep standing right there, he's just saying all this stuff, you know, like, yeah, you know, and I really like the peacocking thing is good, and, you know, my clothes are really important, and this is the guy who's like supposed to be the bad hat in the WWE. The bad guy.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he's telling you all this stuff.
Hilarious.
So that's the media farce.
And by the way, that's bigger than all news business put together, that whole WWE business.
Oh, yeah.
Those guys make some money.
Yeah, well, that guy, Vince McMahon, is something of a genius.
I mean, he almost got his daughter to win that Senate seat or whatever it was back then.
Right?
Oh, I remember that.
No, that guy is absolutely a genius.
Yeah, that's perfect.
Perfect.
Marketing genius, as a matter of fact.
Okay, so let's go back.
We're going to try to get rid of these clips.
This is a short one.
You know, the Anderson Cooper one we can skip.
Really?
Because he's so cute.
All right, we'll play it.
I just wanted to check.
That it is U.S. policy that Gaddafi needs to go.
If you want to talk about mixed signals, there's also the Arab League.
22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa which supported the UN resolution authorizing force.
Then over the weekend, it did a 180.
Arab League Secretary General Amir Moussa saying his member countries wanted to see, quote, civilians protection, not shelling more civilians.
I think you should throw civilians.
But there's no reporting on how China and Russia have denounced all of this.
Oh yeah, they denounced it.
They told, but there's no reporting on it.
Oh, why bother?
China and Russia, and obviously, because that's why the whole problem started in the first place, is Gaddafi was doing business with China and Russia.
Yeah, they were horning in on our deals.
On our business, on our deals, exactly.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, you can't do it.
And Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton.
We're going to get all these out of the way.
So when the caca is hitting the fan, you of course want to go to the most compromised news service in the United States of Gitmo Nation, which is ABC News.
And the reason why is because the new president of ABC News, his sister, is special advisor to President Obama.
So they're all like hanging out.
They're chilling while killing.
And Hillary Clinton goes on there with Diane Sawyer, who I'm convinced is a presidential MKUltra model.
She's got a chip.
And it's hard to actually hear the insincerity and the fakery that's on her face while Hillary Clinton is talking.
But you will hear her say things in this that, I just want to kill the woman.
And I shouldn't say that because that could get me in trouble.
I just want to poop on her.
The right terminology is you want to slap her.
Slap her, thank you.
But that also could be deemed as dangerous.
Not too bad.
Helicopters could come over.
We bring you a headline tonight.
Are there signs that Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and those close to him may be trying to find an exit, even though Gaddafi appeared on television promising to win?
Also, as ABC News has reported on Good Morning America, Libyan diplomats say at least one of Gaddafi's sons may now have been killed.
Yeah, this is another thing that's been out there.
And by the way, same script as Saddam Hussein.
Yeah, and there's something bogus about it because as we discussed in the show when this first started, this little event began a couple weeks ago, the Suns, except for the Israel guy, the guy who's always yelling and screaming at people with the bald-headed guy, they all took off to Venezuela.
And I think this is pretty well documented.
Yeah, but let's be vague about it and let's let Hillary talk to us.
Yeah, I heard this vagary myself.
By a Libyan pilot on a kamikaze mission.
That was the guy whose plane fell out of the sky.
That was the only one.
That was a kamikaze mission?
It was a kamikaze mission.
Yeah, didn't you know that?
They've redefined this guy crashing into the ground straight up as a kamikaze mission.
Exactly.
So here is what Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told us today about Gaddafi and the report about his sons.
There is a report that...
Report!
Report!
We've got to deconstruct this whole thing.
Report!
Report!
Gaddafi's sons, at least one, but maybe two have been killed.
Can you confirm this?
Well, I can't confirm it, but we've heard it.
Heard it?
And we've heard a lot, incredibly.
Yeah, we hear a lot.
We know a lot.
We hear a lot.
Well, we hear it from many different sources.
Sources!
And that's why I can't confirm it.
I can't give any confirmation.
In other words, it's BS. You know, the evidence is not sufficient.
But we've heard that.
We've heard about other people close to him reaching out to people that they know.
Hello, Hillary!
Hillary!
I am...
Hello, Hillary!
Hillary!
I am someone very close to...
You want to get out?
Around the world, Africa, the Middle East, Europe...
Belgium...
North America...
Europe.
People in Europe calling Hillary.
Hello, Hillary.
Hello.
When you come shopping to Paris, I have some important information for you.
I have some very new shoes.
I have new shoes available.
We have new Manalo Blahniks for you, Hillary.
You know, saying, what do we do?
Listen to that.
People around the world calling Hillary, going, what do we do?
What do we do?
And that's why I can't confirm it.
I can't give any confirmation because the evidence is not sufficient.
But we've heard that.
We've heard about other people close to him reaching out to people that they know around the world, Africa, the Middle East, Europe.
Why is this even on the air?
She's saying nothing.
Because she gets horny by being on TV. I don't know.
Look, I think Diane's in Paris with her.
I mean, I don't know where else this interview was done.
And like, Diane, we have to do something.
We have to make it look like we're doing something over here before we go to see Pierre.
Yeah, we're going to have to pay for this trip.
Yeah, before we go see Pierre to have our hair done.
We've got to do some business or we're not going to be able to write this off.
Why don't you ask me some questions and I'll just go...
...beyond, you know, saying, what do we do?
How do we get out of this?
What happens next?
Including him, do you know where he is?
Well, I'm not aware that he personally has reached out, but I do know that people allegedly on his behalf...
Allegedly on his people, allegedly...
What, is she worried about a lawsuit?
She has to use the word allegedly?
Well, see, she doesn't want to be caught later by the Adam and John show where we say, hey, remember when you said that?
I said allegedly.
I said allegedly.
Have been reaching out.
So that's why I say this is a very dynamic situation.
It's dynamic.
But are you indicating that there's some...
By the way, this whole thing is chopped to bits.
You can hear it in the audio.
Oh, Close to him, on his behalf, reaching out to say, how do we get out?
Now here's where she smiles.
How does he get out?
This is what we hear from so many sources, Diane.
It is a constant...
Today.
Today, yesterday, the day before.
It's every single day.
My phone is just on fire.
I cannot tell you.
Every day they're calling saying, Gaddafi wants out.
I know, I know.
Some of it I'll be very, you know, as my...
Honest.
Say honest.
She wants to say honest, but she can't.
So some of it I'll be very...
Personal opinion.
Some of it is theater.
A lot of it is just the way he behaves.
It's somewhat unpredictable.
He's crazy.
But some of it we think is exploring.
You know, what are my options?
Where could I go?
What could I do?
And we would encourage that.
We, the Royal Clintons, we would encourage that.
We think it's very, very good.
You gave me a link for the show notes about Clinton and Rice.
Yeah, that woman, Rice, that's the UN ambassador, and this other woman, Powers, who's married to Cass Sundstrom, that guy.
Cass Sundstrom.
All right, Sunstein Sundstrom.
Cass Sundstrom, yeah.
Oh, that's right.
Oh, of course.
She's the PR woman.
She's the, right, who was working for the Obama campaign and called Hillary a monster and got fired, but now she's big buddies with Hillary.
She seems to be just a horrible person.
Well, maybe that was a setup.
Maybe that whole thing was a setup.
That's what I was thinking, the same thing.
I was thinking that article that ran in the Daily Beast, which we have a link to in the show notes, I read it and it blames Hillary Power and Rice, the woman from the UN, American ambassador to the UN, For the whole thing, I think it's a way just to blame them in case this thing falls apart, because this whole deal is...
It is falling apart.
It is...
Obviously orchestrated by somebody else, and they need to blame the women, who were all for it.
I mean, it's not like they're blameless, but the point is that they're probably not really behind it, because, you know...
I mean, that's why Obama took off.
Now, the one thing that should...
I gotta go be chilling while we be killing.
He's going to be chilling while killing.
But the thing that got me, and I ended up spending way too much time on this, which is the fact that the event, Obama's attack began on 3-19...
Which is the exact same day as the war in Iraq.
As Bush did Iraq.
The exact same day.
Well, these elitists, they love numbers.
They love it.
I know, and so I'm trying to figure out what is this relating to.
Now, I ran into a number of possibilities.
I'm just going to mention them casually.
One, I figure it might be some biblical reference, and there is a good one, Genesis 319.
I'll read it from the New International Version.
Oh.
By this...
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let me give you a little biblical music here.
Go ahead.
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken.
For dust you are, and to dust you will return.
Wow.
So that's a possibility.
You're nothing but dust.
So we've got to look out for the dust meme.
Hey, I thought there was a dust meme somewhere.
So then I looked for dates.
Is there any other 319 dates that are interesting?
I went to my...
I looked at every possible timeline I could find.
There's a couple interesting things.
In 1687, on 319, the French explorer LaSalle was murdered by his own men.
Uh...
The death of William III and the rise of Ann Stewart in 1702.
I don't think that was it.
Boston was incorporated in 1822.
The U.S. Senate ratifies the Cuban Treaty gaining naval bases in Gitmo on 3-19-1903.
And by the way, I think that's the date.
Wow.
Because Gitmo was founded on the same day as the Iraq War began, as this war began.
And I'm calling it a war, let's be honest about it.
And talking about, people say, well, you know, America never used to be that much into this kind of crazy, you know, try to stay out, as Jefferson said, stay out of these crazy situations.
Meanwhile, on this exact same day in 1924, U.S. troops are rushed to Tguchigalpa as rebel forces take the Honduran capital.
So we got involved in 1924 and this exact same date in some sort of a crazy military action.
All I know is it seemed that they rushed to hit this date on the money.
Right.
It was like, hey man, hurry up with that.
Hey, write that resolution already.
So they wrote that 1970 resolution.
It's like, hey man, we've got to hit the 319er, the 319er, baby.
We've got to hit the 319er.
It's a little off the wall.
And then once you're doing that, then you can go chill.
Everything will be good.
Hey, let's just...
Can we switch gears for a second?
Because I'm kind of...
Yeah, we can just shift gears.
Yeah, I think so.
Do you remember Jamie Gorlick?
The name rings a bell.
She left the Clinton Justice Department in 1997.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
To go work for Fannie Mae.
Right, right, right.
We talked about...
Yeah, she's one of those puppets.
Now, she was paid $26 million in salary and bonuses.
Is that a guy or a girl?
Well, looking at the picture, it's questionable.
But I'd say because of the lipstick, it's a woman, yeah.
Oh, it's nothing he would do.
Let's put it that way.
Right.
So she was the chairman of Fannie Mae.
Of course, largely responsible for messing it all up.
Guess what?
She's seriously being considered as the new person to run the FBI. Oh no!
The FBI? Yeah.
And she looks like a Lucy.
Oh, jeez.
Whose idea is this?
Probably Lucy's idea.
I don't know.
I don't know.
She's got to...
See, the best way...
When someone is about to get screwed because they've messed it up and they've just been horrible people, the best thing is to put them in a high position.
That seems to be the best way to do it.
Oh, man.
That's a bad thing.
No, it's really bad.
Now, it's not official, of course.
Well, the fact that it's even coming up in the conversation is pathetic.
Yeah, no, apparently she's on the short list.
It would be cool to watch that.
I don't think so.
There's a couple other things that didn't hit the mainstream.
There was one report that just blew me away, and we've talked about this many times.
And this comes on the heels of this announcement, which I guess it hit the tape on Sunday when AT&T announced it was going to buy T-Mobile.
Which, of course, everyone's rooting around, and it turns out that AT&T actually has the biggest lobbying group in all of Washington.
So you know that this is just going to happen, right?
It's a shoo-in.
I wrote a column telling people to write their congressman.
This would be a pathetic...
Loss of competition.
It's a company buying out another competitor.
I mean, everything about antitrust.
And we have Democrats in office.
Everything about antitrust has got written all over at large.
And I hate that company.
Well, you're going to hate it even more.
EFF, who I'm not a huge fan of for my own personal reasons, but they've got a whistleblower, a former AT&T technician, Mark Klein, and they've got the evidence.
They've got a PDF online, everything in the show notes, noagendershow.com, showing that AT&T... You know that 611 Folsom Street in San Francisco, that big building with no windows we talk about all the time?
Yeah, the CIA building.
Right.
Or actually NSA, I think.
Right.
So they have a fiber optic splitter.
So they literally, they don't have like stuff installed.
No, they just have like a big splitter on the fiber optic for everything that flows to that building and just going right off to the NSA. Right.
Well, why would they bother doing it?
Why don't they just put it in there?
Because the building is designed for some sort of...
It looks like it could take a nuke.
It mined.
All the windows are blacked out with metal?
No, but I guess what this proves is that they don't just have like Echelon or something, you know, in a rack there, in a room.
Well, it's probably split off to take...
Everything.
Yeah, but the whole thing is split off to send to MI6 because they're the ones who can analyze Americans legally.
Ooh, good point.
Well, we don't have any information.
But anyway...
That would make up for the fact that it's not at the facility.
You split it, send it to MI6. No, no, it's at the facility.
No, I'm saying that's why the computers that do the analysis are not...
Oh, right.
Yeah, you split it off and you send it to MI6, who can do it legally.
And actually, that makes sense because one of these experts that they have who analyze this says, this isn't a wiretap, it's a country tap.
Ha, ha, ha.
Perfect.
So just add T-Mobile to the mix.
Beautiful.
It's a beautiful thing.
They're basically Deutsche Telekom, too.
I mean, that's where they stem from, if I'm not mistaken, originally.
Although, I will say, the Gitmo Nation, Deutschland, not really participating.
You know, they pulled all of their stuff out.
They pulled all of their...
They're not participating in the Arab Spring.
And I think they tried to kill Merkel.
Did you hear about this?
No, tell me.
So she had to go to an event right on the Swiss border, Walchuttingen, and 200 miles into its journey, both engines quit.
Now, I know a lot about helicopters, because I fly them, and this is a Super Puma, which I have flown, actually, once, and I've flown in them, but I've actually been at the stick before.
It's a twin engine, so, first of all, to have both engines go out, highly unlikely.
Now, of course, the reporting is so crappy, but they go into auto-rotation, which is what you do, and you can land.
You get one shot at it, but I'm sure that if the terrain was okay, they would have landed no problem.
And they were able to restart the engines on the way down.
From 5,000 feet, you've got about a minute, something like that.
And so they were able to restart the engines, and Merkel then wound up taking a car the rest of the way.
But I'm thinking EMP. Because it is so unlikely that you have both engines quit and then you're able to restart at a lower altitude.
Hmm.
That's pretty peculiar.
I think it's a total...
But why would anybody be out to get Merkel?
I mean, what has she done recently?
I mean, I know she's been...
Well, no.
Deutschland has pulled out of the whole thing.
They've pulled their tanks back.
They've pulled their planes back.
Everything.
They pulled back.
They're not in it for some reason.
And I think it's because Russia probably said, hey, Angela, you still want your oil and your gas?
Then you shall stop.
Well, that could be.
The Russians have pretty much locked down that part of the world without having to do any military thing.
They just have them hooked on their oil.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, Russia controls Europe now.
With their gas and everything.
Now that they took out all the Polish government, they got that pipeline running right past Poland, which Poland didn't want.
It's a long-term plan, but these guys do execute.
Yeah, well, they've always thought, you know, you have to remember the Communist Party from the get-go, you know, from the late 1917 on through the 20s, would specialize in long-term planning.
So they think, even though they were wrong and wrong and wrong and wrong and wrong because you can't plan...
Your economy, necessarily.
But you get into that mindset of thinking in some sort of different dimension where you're thinking long-term, you can come up with some schemes.
I love the chat room.
Oh, water and the fuel is more likely.
Hey, douchebags, I'm a pilot, okay?
Give me a break.
Water and the fuel.
So, you see, this is why we're in the chat room.
Let me just hook into what you just said about the long-term thing.
The term Arab Spring...
It's actually first cropped up in 2005.
George W. Bush was talking about the Arab Spring, and there's some evidence that this is actually part of PNAC. The Project for a New American Century, which is also credited with planning the 9-11 attack.
It's very interesting.
I mean, these are just articles you should read and take them for what they are.
They're in the show notes under the Arab Spring heading.
Yeah, Project for a New American Century.
I've read their material over and over again.
It's quite interesting.
Well, a lot of what they write about kind of comes true.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's because they execute it.
They actually do it.
I've got maybe one more thing I want to do on my 316.
319.
I'm sorry, 319.
I keep coming with 316.
Let me find it.
This is the long shot thing.
And again, it's just something I want people to go download a copy and look at it.
And this was very weirdly associative, but in 319, Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra recorded one of their biggest musical successes.
It became one of Deca Records' all-time greats, Green Eyes, which you can listen to if you wanted to go to YouTube.
So I'm thinking Green Eyes in 1941 on the same day.
Does that refer to anything?
And I was thinking, well, maybe Qaddafi's got green eyes and it's possible that he does.
I couldn't find out, but I think his dad did for sure.
But Qaddafi did a book called The Green Book.
Really?
This is an amazing long shot to find this.
You can download it.
It comes in three parts.
It is a vision of the future with all kinds of weird information.
It's been ridiculed to death, but if you actually look at it and start reading it, it's very interesting.
It's a very interesting tome.
It's not on the league of the stuff that Ho Chi Minh did, but it's one of those kind of quasi-political...
It's screeds that is well worth reading, at least as far as I'm concerned.
And you can download it.
But is it on the Kindle?
Well, we're going to have to put it on the Kindle.
Here's Green Eyes with Tommy Dorsey.
Green Eyes, a pool wearing my love.
That sucks.
It's an old song from the 40s.
Give me Justin Bieber any day.
So anyway, so that's just a little kind of a weird connection.
It's a stretch.
It's a stretch, but I'll read his green book.
Yeah, the green book.
It sounds like something we should check out.
I agree with that.
Now, before we leave the topic, because you're talking about the airplane crapping out.
Yeah.
A helicopter.
I have an Ask Adam.
Oh, my goodness.
I was unprepared.
Hold on.
Let's get a new one here.
What do we have?
Let's try this one.
Okay.
This is another report, an airline incident.
You have two Ask Adams.
The one, just the Ask Adam, not the quiz.
And it is your buddy Diane Sawyer again who makes a comment at the end.
And I have to ask you about this.
Play the clip.
For more than 20 harrowing minutes, the tower at Reagan National Airport had gone ominously quiet.
At 1210 AM, American Airlines Flight 1900 from Dallas could not reach the tower after being handed over from regional controllers.
The pilot executed a go-round following routine aviation procedure.
Failing to raise the tower on the second approach, the pilot treated the airport as if it were uncontrolled and landed.
Fifteen minutes later, a United flight was also unable to contact anyone in the Reagan Tower.
Tower is apparently unmanned.
It's called on the phone and nobody's answering.
So that aircraft went in at an uncontrolled airport.
That's interesting.
It is.
It's happened before, though.
Did you say it's happened before, though?
Yeah, it's happened before.
Landed safely.
There was just one controller on duty at that hour.
The NTSB now investigating whether he was asleep, away from his desk, or there was some communication issue with the tower.
Whatever they find, Diane, they are going to be reviewing those staffing levels for this airport that's just two and a half miles from the White House.
Oh, Jim, it must have been a nail-biting time for those pilots.
Nail-biting!
Nail-biting!
The Ask Adam question.
Of course, apparently one plane landed and 15 minutes later another plane landed on an uncontrolled basis.
Question number one.
I have two questions.
Question number one.
If you're in this situation, is it nail-biting time?
Is it a nail-biting moment?
No.
No.
Well, you just answered the question.
No.
So, what's happening here is the word uncontrolled is being misrepresented.
So, it is just a regular aviation term, a controlled field or an uncontrolled field.
99% of all fields in the United States are uncontrolled.
And the way you do it is it's called Unicom.
And everyone can hear you on the frequency.
And you call it.
You say, alright, I'm downwind.
I'm coming around.
I'm going to land on this runway.
And keep a lookout for me.
And it's a very normal procedure.
I believe...
So I hadn't actually looked this up.
I'm looking at Reagan National Airport.
That I don't think this place is staffed before 7 a.m.
as is.
That there's no one on staff.
So they may have been early.
You know, maybe the guy was taking a poop.
It happens.
Yeah, there's only one guy.
There's only one guy to take a poop.
And then it's like you get in.
And I even heard the...
We should have called the poop police.
Oh, we had a poop police jingle somewhere.
Oh, my goodness.
I can't...
Where did I... How could I not have that in my box here?
Oh, I feel really stupid now.
I gotta look that one up.
Oh, here it is.
Detective Dookie.
Detective Dookie.
Poop Police.
SPU Special Poopers Unit.
Who do you call?
Who do you call when the airport is uncontrolled?
Nah, you know, it...
So, Diane Sawyer nail-biting moment.
Nail-biting moment.
I hear the guy even saying, like, this has happened before.
Yeah, the guy had to go poop.
If you only got one guy and he's got to poop...
Yeah, well, there's going to be a massive investigation about this poop.
Oh, my...
Question number two is if this was such a big deal...
Wait, wait, wait.
You can't just fire off a question number two without the...
Oh, here we go.
When John C. Dvorak's got a burning question, what should we do?
Ask Adam.
Yeah.
Hey.
Okay, so the question number two is if this is two miles from the White House and this is a big nail-biting moment, where's Homeland Security in the matter?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, duh.
All the money we're spending on Homeland Security is the biggest police force, bigger than our military, and where are they?
Should they be involved, maybe?
This is a question.
Should they be manning the tower?
I mean, what's the deal?
Well, there's only one person to ask.
Lucy!
We don't have an Ask Lucy segment.
No, we have this.
Detective Dookie.
Detective Dookie.
Poop Police.
SPU. Special Poopers Unit.
Looks like we have a pooper on our hands, John.
We got a pooper on our hands two miles from the White House.
This is bad.
We got to go in, Detective Dookie.
So anyway, so that's my one.
I have a second Ask Adam quiz, if you want to do that now, or you want to go and...
Yeah, let's do the quiz.
Let's do the quiz.
Or we could save that for after the...
No, no, no, no, no.
I think, but, but, but, but, but, but.
Play the Ask Adam theme, another Ask Adam thing.
Okay.
All right.
And will I play this question right off the bat?
No, no, play the Ask Adam.
I just did!
I didn't hear it.
That's terrible.
Oh, that's a terrible idea.
Erase that one.
Okay, here we go.
So, you know and I know, being in the media in some way, shape, or form at all most of our lives, that advertisements are usually on shows that are, you know, they're kind of customized.
If you watch the evening news, for example, there's nothing but drug ads.
Yeah, because old people who are sick watch that.
And they, by the way, they say, oh, we're trying to get to a younger demo, which is referring to the Democrats.
I say, no, they're not.
They want to keep the, because they got a locked-in audience of old farts that need drugs, and the drug ads are the ones they're selling.
So they're never going to go for a younger demo.
They don't want to, because they got this thing.
So you can always kind of deconstruct, you can kind of reverse engineer what kind of audience is watching the show based on the ad.
So if you're watching a show that's got a bunch of children's ads on it, the show's for kids and you're watching it.
Maybe you should rethink what you're watching.
Makes total sense.
Right.
So I'm going to play part of an ad.
This is Ask Adam's quiz.
You have to guess the show.
Okay.
Spectacular dancing.
And pure wholesome fun, the entire family will enjoy together.
Oh, my duck did a wonderful trick.
My duck can lay an egg.
And just what is so wonderful about that?
Well, can you lay an egg?
These classic Shirley Temple films have stood the test of time, and you'll cherish sharing these heartwarming adventures again and again with your family and friends.
Bring home the magic of Shirley Temple.
Okay, so this is about Shirley Temple.
Shirley Temple Black, who passed away a decade ago, I think.
At least.
Who's from the 30s?
Family entertainment.
Well, the only thing I could think of that would make sense would be Dancing with the Stars.
Sean Hannity.
Yeah, that makes sense, doesn't it?
That is hilarious.
Hey, Hannity, we got a fan club day for you.
Bring your Zimmer frame, baby.
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, on no agenda in the morning.
So we've got a few people to thank for helping produce this show today.
I want to begin with Mathu.
I think it's Mathu.
Mathau, Mathau, Mathau, Mathau.
In Phillips, in Dearborn Heights, Michigan.
This is to try to bring back the good grace of karma.
My 10-10-10 coin was number 342.
Which is one, multiplied as 126, which is what he donated.
I have all put this donation, put it off too long and was being kicked in the groin for that.
Hookers and Blow, P.S. Matthew...
I'm not from Gitmo Fondue.
Matthew, not...
Okay, it's Matthew Phillips, sorry.
Lawrence McBride, $111.11.
Moortown, Moorsyside, UK. Tice Browers.
Browers.
Brrrr.
Who does phenomenal art for you.
He is a great, great artist.
In fact, if you look at today's mailing, if you go check your mailbox, you'll see a Brower's art piece at the top.
And I think it's a Nick the Rat at the bottom.
Two outstanding pieces that we couldn't let pass.
The world famous number your buddy scam.
Your birthday scam.
Birthday, I'm sorry.
Number your birthday scam.
Scam?
What?
You're calling us scammers?
First time donor, born at 18, March 82 plus age 29 equals 111.
Next time I send you some art again.
Thank you, Tice.
That's so nice of you, man.
Yeah, that was nice.
By the way, he's a starving artist.
Yeah, he is a starving artist, and he's kind enough to help us in more ways than one.
Steve Bottoms in Reno, Nevada, $100, disgusted beyond belief at how scripted this Mideast thing appears.
Thank you guys for helping open my eyes.
That's what we do, man.
Welcome.
Rachel Wallace in Nashville, Tennessee, who will have a birthday, I guess, $75.
Happy birthday donation to my husband, or her husband, who's a huge fan of the show.
He's gotten me to listen as well and tells anyone who will listen to check out the show that's a good thing.
Send these people a noagenda shot.
Noagendashots.com.
That's a great way to get people hooked.
Because it's just a little bite.
Oh, that's interesting.
James Boswell in Woodley Berkshire, UK, 6666.
After the literal and figurative bombshells dropped in episode 288, I thought it would be a crime not to donate to you guys.
GAO investigating the TSA? Wrap a scan in my country's Olympics?
Poop police?
For Christ's sake, please educate your fellow journalists on how to do their frickin' jobs.
Detective Dookie.
Detective Dookie.
Poop Police.
SPU. Special Poopers Unit.
I can't get enough of that.
He advises us to stay off the crackpot stuff and more of this.
This is, you know, where do you draw the line?
Daniel Hutner in Murphys, California.
$55, double nickels on the dime.
$55.10.
Anonymous from Baltimore, Maryland.
Double nickels on the dime.
Matthew McDonald, Calgary, Alberta.
I've got to go get his email note.
Simon Reed, New York.
Why don't you see if you can find his email note if you've got it there.
I don't have his email note.
Okay, well, I'll dig it up.
Simon Reed, New York, double nickels on the dime.
Troy Rudder, double nickels on the dime.
Should be getting close to his...
Knighthood.
Knighthood.
Splash from Lakewood, California.
Double nickels on the dime for him.
I couldn't live without this show, and I appreciate the insane amount of work you guys do in deconstructing the news media and hitting people in the mouth, and I'm now determined to become a no-agenda knight sometime this year.
Excellent.
He's apparently at the Japanese Ministry.
Yeah, this is the guy who, I think we talked about his email last week, where he worked at the Japanese ministry and he said he got to hang out with a lot of transgendered hookers.
Remember that?
Yeah, interesting.
No, awesome.
That's a good idea.
Awesome if we get more material from him, of course.
Chad Nelson, Boise, Idaho.
$55.
Send people to my No Agenda sticker page, VinylRocket.com slash NA, so I can meet my goal of knighthood.
John, never heard.
If you like the stickers...
Yeah, actually I did.
I forgot about those stickers.
Sorry.
Vinylrocket.com slash NA. Sir Jeffrey Gerlach in Alamo, $51.50, forwarded the URL, batshitcrazy.
He's the batshitcrazy guy.
There are no plans.
There used to be big plans for batshitcrazy, but as you know how plans go, they didn't give it to us.
It's batshitcrazy.org, I guess.
I thought it was.com, but it's.org.
That's cool.
Alan McDonald.
Yeah, I think the.com is owned by Sarah Palin.
Oh, boy.
Hey, wow.
That was...
Gee, when do you start on the...
When does your zoo show start, John?
Woo!
Man.
Alan McDonald in Portland, Oregon, $50.
Arthur Kessler, Acme, Alberta, Canada, $50.
Gregory Wilcox in Phoenix, Arizona, who mailed in $50 to the post office box, and that is listed on the No Agenda donation page at dvorak.org.
Also, $50 from David Metis, Jeff Anderson, John Lake, Sir Chris Geelan.
Geelan!
Geelan, he's a bit behind when he's writing things during No Agenda 286.
And now I have to say the following.
War swing and the bell walking pass up.
Bananen sind gewaltiger than lukehaven scanners.
Where is it?
I don't have this note.
Oh, here it is.
That was very good, John.
Can you translate it?
I bet you you can.
Yeah, it means that you better be careful because of those crummy scanners.
Yeah, bananas are more dangerous than the crummy scanners.
Right, because bananas have all this radiation.
By the way, I want to prop my daughter.
She was traveling back from Gitmo Nation Lowlands to Los Angeles, the People's Republic.
And she was at Zippel Airport.
And the plane was kind of late in boarding, whatever happens.
And so they were rushing everybody through the scanner.
And she says, no.
I'm not going to go through that thing.
It's creepy.
Seriously.
And they're like, yeah, you can do a pat-down.
My dad says it's creepy and I shouldn't go through it.
And there were like 10 Americans behind her.
And then they all started going, yeah, we're not going through that creepy machine.
So the whole plane was delayed.
I'm so proud of her.
Fantastic.
But for a kid, like 20 years old, traveling by herself with all these jabroni douchebags at the airport.
She said the chick even went into the scanner.
See, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong.
She was standing in the scanner herself to show that it was safe.
And Christina's like, no, I'm not going through it.
My dad says it's creepy, and I agree.
And all these Americans behind her are like, yeah, no, just pat us down.
We don't want to go through your creepy scanner.
I think America, if everybody starts doing this, I think people will follow suit.
Because a lot of people still are reluctant to...
Everybody senses it's creepy and bad.
But unless somebody else does it for them first, and then they do it and go through the process of not going through the scanner, they're going to end up being cowed into the scanner.
But I'm so proud of her.
And it's good work.
Yeah, I'm very proud of her.
Good job.
Okay, we've got Mark McLennan in Watertown, Connecticut.
Yeah.
I've only known my brother Charlie for a little over a year.
Charlie just lost his friend, puppy Otis, and I'm worried about him.
He really needs some no agenda karma.
That sucks.
Poor Otis.
You've got karma.
All right, Charlie.
Matthew Malherter in Vancouver, Washington.
Paul Alvis in Toronto, Canada.
Both $50.
And Paul likes to say a special shout-out for karma for all the five Portuguese parties that today rejected the New World Order.
You've got...
Obrigado!
Yeah, the prime minister...
Result in the Portuguese prime minister resigning.
No austerity.
Portugal's lived under dictators and rules and managed to remove him from office.
I have a clip, by the way, coming up that's kind of interesting.
It relates to this.
The EU, that is.
So, essentially, so, yeah, I agree.
The...
The Portuguese deserve a lot of credit.
Of course, they're being downblasted.
We talked about what they're trying to do to Portugal in the Dvorak Horowitz show.
That's Paul Elvis.
And Stephen Atkins in Calgary, also $50.
Also, I want to mention David Medicine, Goldsboro, North Carolina, is a first-time donor donating to celebrate his daughter's first birthday.
She was born on 32510.
Her name is Lila Rose.
Yeah, yeah, that's coming up in the birthday segment.
You don't have to do all this stuff.
This and in the car.
And she loves the jingles.
Of course.
All right.
What's her name?
Her name is Lila Rose Medus.
Medus.
Medus.
All right.
Here's one.
I want you to listen.
Hello, Lila Rose.
Hi.
It's your Uncle Adam and your Uncle John.
Now, here's something we want you to talk about to your mommy and daddy all the time.
Okay?
We want you to keep repeating this.
This is very important.
And you're going to be a good little...
Human resource.
Detective Dookie.
Detective Dookie.
Poop Police.
SPU, Special Poopers Unit.
And Boris Marinov.
Is it, I think it's Sir Boris?
Of course it might be.
Boris Marinov wishes Yassi and Mani a very happy birthday.
They turned six yesterday, March 23rd.
Rachel Wallace congratulates her husband turning 30 today, big No Agenda fan.
And David Midas, how do we pronounce that again?
Midas.
Midas.
He, of course, congratulates his daughter with her first birthday.
Born March 25th, little Lila Rose.
Happy birthday from your buddies here at the No Agenda show.
I got two more notes to read from Sir Larry Lee.
And by the way, the little Lila one, she really gets a kick out of biodiversity.
Oh, really?
Oh, well, let's give her that one.
Yeah, she should because she's going to be hearing a lot about it in her life.
Oh, yeah.
Just the beginning.
I got a note here, since Eric the Shill is at the North Pole, we've got another Shill, JC, standing.
So not everything's coming through, so I want to make sure we do this.
Sir Larry Lee says, I forgot to mention, he donated today.
The country music fans at Gitmo Nation Down Under can find free downloads from the Ronnie Collins album, Time for Change.
At mp3.com.au slash Ronnie Collins.
I promise I'd do that.
And Josh, I think he had something.
Did he have a...
He had a...
See, we've got to be careful about this stuff, man.
Do me a huge favor and send a birthday shout-out to my great friend Ted C. Howard, whose birthday is this Friday, March 25th.
Ted's the kind of friend you rarely get in life.
He originally turned me on to the show, and I have to admit I thought he was nuts.
Now I think I may be the bigger crackpot.
You may also be amused to hear that Ted has an iPad soundboard of all the best-know-agenda soundbites and regularly fires them off to the amusement of everyone around.
Yeah, I'll bet.
I'll bet.
Is he married?
I'll bet.
I'll bet.
So, here's what you do.
You close your eyes.
You got them closed?
It seems to work when we do that.
People start to up their giving levels.
A little bit of neuro-linguistic programming.
And we really need the help.
You know, just compare us.
Go ahead.
Dare to compare.
Dare to compare if you get more information from this show than from your cable news service, from your radio service.
And I was even listening to NPR the other day, the National Treasure.
I can't get anything from those guys.
They don't even have anything interesting.
Well, it was actually an interesting report about how Dutch farmers had been recruited to come and start in Iowa.
Now they're all bankrupt.
It was an interesting report.
And I'm listening to this.
And then they're like, well, we'll be right back.
I'm like, what?
What do you mean you'll be right back?
And then they break.
What?
What?
Oh, yeah.
They break.
They play some music.
They pray.
Thank you, darling.
They play a strobe waffle.
They play a PSA. And then they do another sponsorship message.
They break for commercials now.
Wow, that's terrible.
Yeah.
Of course, they can blame it on the government for not giving them enough billions of dollars.
Wow.
Strobe waffle.
You ever had a strobe waffle?
Is that what you're eating?
Yeah.
You know where a strobe waffle is?
I think it's like a bear claw, isn't it?
No, not even close.
They don't exist here.
What is it?
Explain it.
It's like a small, let's see, it's about one, two, about four inches in diameter.
It's a waffle, but in the middle is a molasses, yeah, kind of like molasses pressed into it.
And it's a cookie, but it's a, they call it a strobe waffle, like a syrup waffle.
But it's not really a waffle, it's a cookie with kind of thick molasses.
It's Dutch.
You can't get it anywhere, but Dutchland.
Where'd you get it then?
Well, we have people coming back and forth.
What do you think?
My kid's like, don't go through the scanner and bring some strobe waffles, damn it.
I'm surprised they let it through.
This looks like a bomb.
No kidding.
Iran says they built a flying saucer.
Yeah.
Good.
It's about time somebody did.
Yeah.
It's called the Zohal.
Is this a joke?
Isn't that the name of the guy in the movie that played by Alex?
Adam Sandler?
That's a good movie.
Don't mess with Zohar or whatever it is.
No, it's the Zohal.
The Farce News Agency, which of course is partially funded by the government, says they built a flying saucer.
And they have a picture of it.
And it's equipped with autopilot GPS. It's not huge, but it's a flying size.
It's kind of like their version of a drone.
I'm just getting pounded with rain here.
It's ridiculous.
By the way, there's a human resource in Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
And he's a ham operator.
Hey!
Yeah, exactly.
And he has been tweeting...
All of the stuff he's picking up in the Libya conflict.
You should really follow this guy.
It's really interesting.
What's his name on Twitter?
Let me find it for you.
Of course, Gitmo Nation Lowlands has now also jumped in.
They're sending over a couple of F-16s and we're sending the ships over.
We're all helping out with the Arab Spring.
It's very, very important that we be a part of that.
But they also have global hawks flying around.
So he's picking that stuff up.
And a lot of this, of course, it's not like top secret information, necessarily.
No, it's ham gossip.
Yeah.
It's good stuff.
Actually, this thing is called Odyssey Dawn.
We haven't even talked about how stupid that is.
Yeah, you know, you're right.
Every time I see it, I say, oh, you know, we've never discussed this on the show.
What a dumb name.
You know, and everybody has a joke for it.
So, you know, we watch all the comics.
One of them says it sounds like a stripper.
My wife said it sounds like a stripper.
I think Jon Stewart said it sounds like a cruise line on a Norwegian cruise line.
And what is the point of it?
Well, I'll tell you.
I'm glad somebody did some work.
Of course.
Jack Schroeder, our producer from Gitmo Nation, Great White North.
He says, alright, dictionary, very simple.
Odyssey, a long wandering and eventful journey.
Dawn, an opening time period.
So, of course, the dawn refers to spring, and Odyssey means, it's going to take a long time, bitches.
No, play the permaclip.
Take the...
Alright, I'll play the permaclip.
Where'd my mouse go?
Where's my mouse?
You probably ate in that calafel or whatever you think you're eating.
Calafel.
Operation Odyssey Dawn.
Let me emphasize that we anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks.
I think Stuart said it was a Yes album.
Oh yeah, Stuart said it.
Somebody else said it as a cruise line.
Yeah, he had a Yes album.
So the guy you want to follow is FMCNL. Foxtrot Mike, Charlie, November, Lima.
He's on it all the time.
He's monitoring his frequencies.
And it was funny.
So they sent two, I think two F-16s were on their way from Leuarda.
Which is a base in the Netherlands.
And the one who had to land at Schiphol because his landing gear was broke.
Typical.
Typical Dutch Air Force.
Hey!
I can't make it.
We can't come because we have no more steam turbines.
We'll be there tomorrow.
That's hilarious.
Start without us.
Yeah, I'm telling you.
Well, just a matter of days, baby.
Just a matter of days.
It's not going to take too long.
I promise you.
You can take that to the bank.
It's not going to take long.
I have a couple of more clips that are interesting.
Good.
There was one, I think...
I think this was O'Reilly and Brit Hume.
Brit Hume was talking about, O'Reilly, who's a warmonger, came up with this, well, isn't this kind of like when Reagan, you know, attacked, you know, sent a bunch of missiles over there trying to attack Gaddafi?
Isn't it similar when they, you know, and Britt Hume says, well, the missiles that hit Qaddafi's compound, and by the way, if I'm not mistaken, this no-fly zone thing was supposed to take out the military installations of radar and things like that.
Before you go on, and I don't know, I guess I missed this clip somehow.
There's a clip of that Diane Sawyer interview where Hillary Clinton says, the language in the UN resolution was so broad.
But that's a lie.
It's not true.
It wasn't broad.
It says, you've got to stop.
First of all, take all the money.
That's half of the resolution.
Take all the money.
Here's how you can spend it.
Then the other half is, no aircraft with Libyan registration can fly, and you have to prevent any arms smuggling in the ports.
That's it.
It was not broad at all.
It actually doesn't say blow up radar installations.
We were tricked into thinking that.
The resolution says no aircraft with Libyan registration can fly.
It says nothing about blowing stuff up.
I was duped even by that.
Well, we're blowing stuff up and we're also attacking the Libyan Qaddafi's compound.
But the point of this clip is kind of interesting because there's a piece of information in here that I did not know regarding the first time we attacked the Qaddafi's compound when Reagan was president and he was irked about the blowing up of the nightclub in Germany.
And play this and see if you can spot this odd piece of information.
It's just a little subtle.
So there are a lot of parallels to the bombing going on now in Libya to back then, correct?
Well, there's some, Bill.
Certainly the fact that the British forces attacked his compound, that's a direct parallel.
Ronald Reagan's attack on Libya involved a direct attack on Gaddafi's compound.
And had Gaddafi not been warned...
Ahead of time that the military attack was coming, as indeed he was, he probably would have been killed along with a lot of members of his family.
Some people did die in that attack, and Gaddafi basically piped down.
There was a prelude to this bill that should be remembered, and that was that Gaddafi was making all kinds of extravagant claims about the extent of his territorial waters from his northern border out into the Mediterranean.
claims that were rejected by the United States and others, and we had positioned naval assets in the area and had been involved in some skirmishes with Libyan forces to enforce our view of where the international waters were.
So we were already tangling with him when this Berlin nightclub attack that you mentioned occurred, and it was in the aftermath of that that the U.S. forces hit Gaddafi.
They hit his compound and they hit a number of other military targets and gave him a very I think I'm too young to...
I mean, there's three things I caught in there.
One is Gaddafi was warned.
Yes, that's the one.
Yeah.
So...
What?
I've never heard this before.
Well, he was warned this time, too.
He was warned by who?
Well, by Anderson Cooper.
Anderson Cooper said, we're going to come after you.
Wasn't that clear?
This is just another part of the rig game.
We're going to make it look good.
You've got to get out of there because we're going to bomb your place, okay?
I mean, this guy's meeting with McCain just recently.
Yeah.
Well, McCain thinks he's an interesting fellow.
This is a good guy.
This is the worst kind of theater.
Because a bunch of innocent civilians are getting killed left and right.
Duh.
Hey, you know, what I thought was kind of funny is, and this just started circulating today, you know, we all laugh about Gaddafi and his tent.
Did you see Obama's tent?
He's got a tent.
What?
He's got a tent.
When he was hanging out in Rio, in the hotel, they don't want to have all the secure communication, so they have a tent outside, and he sits in the tent.
I mean, it's not like a beautiful one like Gaddafi has, it's just a blue tent, but he's got a tent, and that's where he makes all the secure phone calls from.
Really?
Yeah.
He's got a tent.
All these guys, they all got tents.
A rare photo released by the White House shows Barack Obama fielding calls from a tent in Brazil to keep up with the events in Libya.
The tent is a mobile secure area known as a sensitive compartmented information facility.
Skiff.
Designed to allow officials to have top secret conversations and discussions while on the move.
It does have an Arabian carpet though.
It's kind of nice.
It's got a little rug there and he's chilling out.
It's a tent.
It's a blue tent with a desk and a phone and some paperwork.
It's hilarious.
You have the photo?
Yeah.
Can you Skype it to me?
I want to see it.
Yeah, well, I have it on the...
Okay, don't worry about it.
I'll just look in the show notes and see you later.
It's hilarious.
That is pretty weird.
Designed to withstand eavesdropping.
It's a tent!
Are you kidding me?
This is from the BBC, by the way.
Phone tapping and computer hacking.
Sensitive compartmented information facilities, which is what I have here, by the way.
Also known as skiffs, there it is, are protected areas where classified conversations can be held.
Oh, in order to keep aggressive events, a mobile war room was set up in his hotel so he could hold a secure conference call with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Hillary, did you get the Milano Blahniks yet?
Get some for Michelle, size 12.
National Security Advisor Tom Donnell and blah, blah, blah, Robert Gates.
Michelle, size 12.
I was waiting for you to catch on to that.
Well, he doesn't make...
Manolo Blahnik doesn't make size 12.
It's 10.
You would for him.
Yeah.
Well, if he'd do it for Michelle, then I could get some for Mickey.
If I could afford him.
Have you seen those things?
They're like $3,000.
Like, have some shoes.
$3,000.
For a pair of shoes?
They're not even shoes.
It's like some leather with a strap.
Why are they so expensive?
Manalo Blahnik.
Why are Nikes expensive?
They don't cost a lot to make.
It's a brand.
You're telling me that people are just buying the brand?
There's gambling going on there?
Huh.
This is the shoe that was made famous by Sex and the City, and it's like porn for chicks.
Chicks just like, they just get really, I mean, I bet you even Rachel Maddow gets hot and horny about Manalo Blahniks.
It's even the name is sexy to them.
Manalo Blahnik.
Oh, I just love to have a pair of Manalo Blahniks.
It's like, you know, I love tranny porn.
They're like, ah, Manalo Blahniks.
Same thing.
Except tranny porn is cheaper.
If you're at the Japanese Embassy.
Yeah, apparently the Japanese Embassy loves that stuff.
So I got a commercial that I thought was interesting.
Oh, we love some good commercials, John.
This is, I think, going to be the beginning of a trend.
It's a 30-second easy commercial to deal with.
It's a commercial that attacks, well, one product attacks another product.
Oh, this doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's usually good, and it starts a war.
Well, it's interesting because this is an antihistamine that's attacking another antihistamine.
When it doesn't even actually attack the histamine.
For its contraindication, you know, in other words, you know, those long lists of why you shouldn't take the drug.
Oh, okay, let's listen to it.
Allergies?
You think I have allergies?
You're sneezing.
I'm allergic to you.
Doubtful, you love me.
Hey, you can't take Allegra with fruit juice.
What?
Yeah, it's on the label.
Really?
Here, there's nothing about juice on the Zyrtec label.
What?
Labels are meant to be read.
I'd be lost without you.
I knew you weren't allergic to me.
Ugh!
You know you can't take a Lego with orange juice.
Really?
FYI. What happens if you take orange juice with Allegra?
I never heard of this before!
Did you consult the book of knowledge?
You can't take orange juice with Allegra?
Why?
Did you consult the book of knowledge?
I did not consult the book of knowledge.
I just picked this up this morning.
Do not take Allegra with fruit juice.
Why?
Well, I'm just reading from Allegra.html, such as apple, orange, or grapefruit.
What's it do?
Let's see.
Let's look it up.
Oh, I think it messes with your thyroid.
That doesn't sound healthy.
Researchers...
Taking the drug with juice caused its test subjects to absorb only about one-third as much of the drug as when taking it with water.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
So it's not harmful.
So this commercial makes it sound harmful when all it does is it attenuates the potency of the drug.
It makes it sound like you're going to kill yourself.
Don't take it with that one!
Your throat will swell up!
You will not be able to breathe!
Wow, that's funny.
Of course, I suppose we could anticipate this.
You can't take it.
So, someone sent me a note the other day and said, why do people take these drugs when you hear all of the side effects?
I said, you know, we deconstructed this many times on the show.
Time to bring it up again.
That actually encourages people to take it.
This is why the really big letters, smoking kills, on the cigarette packages, it actually, somehow in the human brain, it's like, heh heh.
Yeah, I can defy death.
Yeah, it's like the apple thing.
You know, I gotta take that apple.
Even though the serpent said not to.
And it just works.
Don't question the science of it all.
Because that's what it is.
Science!
Otherwise they wouldn't do it.
They'd read real fast.
But they don't.
They want to accentuate everything because people apparently love it.
So let me just read you this.
This doesn't mean you should avoid juice all day.
Just give the Allegra enough time to get into your system and you can drink all the orange juice you want.
How much time is that?
Four hours.
Well, this is interesting because this could start, this is like, hey man, you shouldn't be taking that because that could cause anal leakage.
That'll be funny if people start...
That's what I was thinking when I heard this commercial.
The first thing you can do is you can start...
Because all these Lipitor and all these different kinds of...
They could cause anal leakage.
They all have slightly different contraindications.
Just enough so that you can have exactly that commercial, which I would expect.
Oh man, you better wear pampers if you're going to take that stuff.
I have a commercial, which is a long commercial, and it's actually from CNN. It's not billed as a commercial, but it's a commercial.
And I was just so blown away, because of course a lot of, well, we might as well just, where is it?
I can't find, maybe I'm going to play this.
All aboard, trains good, planes bad.
Woo!
Every single day in the news, you know, we've got states not want to take the high-speed rail money.
States do want to take the high-speed rail money.
We've got Atlas Shrug coming out, which will be all about high-speed rail, of course.
So what do you got to do?
What's Hill and Knowlton to do when you've got to convince the stupid slaves to go tell their representatives to get trains?
What are you going to do, John?
What are you going to do?
Well, you have a plane crash, but they can't seem to do that.
Or you could just do a comparison between trains and planes.
No, a comparison would be good.
Yeah, well...
But wait, wait, wait, stop.
That can't work because everybody...
I mean, planes are more modern.
They're the future.
They're the way to go.
And trains are really 17th, 16th, 17th, I guess 18th century, 19th century technology.
Old, funky things that are great for moving huge amounts of...
Of traffic, of cargo, but they're not for moving people.
They're idiotic, actually, at this point in history.
Well, you are one silly slave, my friend John C. Dvorak.
You have no idea how efficient and comfortable and great and slow trains are compared to planes.
Riding the rails or flying the skies.
This is not a race, but a test in satisfaction.
So, right off the bat, this is not a race.
It's a test in satisfaction.
And by the way, note in this, she's not showing any of the bull crap of getting to the train station, finding a place to park, or the cost of the taxi, or however you're getting, none of that.
We just step onto the train as if we've transported, teleported magically from our home.
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.
With a ticket to ride, get on board and choose your seat.
There's a cafe car if you're hungry, free Wi-Fi if you need it, and a quiet car for some peace.
Why do you choose the train rather than the plane?
The first year I moved to D.C. from New York City, I did the plane and I ended up on the tarmac for hours on end.
I like the fact that the trains aren't late.
The trains aren't late.
They're dependable.
What?
Yeah, they're dependable.
They're dependable.
Takes longer.
Passengers say they don't want to pay more taxes to create high-speed rail.
Travelers say the benefits of riding versus flying are enough.
It's cheaper, but it's a lot more convenient.
I can arrive at the station five minutes before the train arrives instead of an hour, hour and a half earlier.
Many train riders say they like how comfortable the ride is, how big the seats are.
She has measuring tape.
She's measuring the seat now.
And in fact, the space they get, there's more than three feet from the seat in front of them.
And electronic devices are welcome to stay on.
Welcome!
You can walk around or not.
Just remember your stop.
Alright, here's our final destination, just under three hours later, and we're here in the Big Apple.
Alright, three hours, but it was so comfortable.
Yeah, and it was from Penn Station to Grand Central.
Now let's go back.
I'm here at LaGuardia Airport, and we're going to go from New York back to the nation's capital.
I'll be flying on a Delta shuttle, and now it's time to go through security.
Oh!
Well, you forgot all the security at the train.
When you got off the train, wasn't the Viper team there to slow you down?
Here, there's a dedicated security line for the shorter commuter flight.
But still, those shoes have to come off.
Yeah-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
It's really quick, really convenient.
No complaints.
Unlike most flights, arrive early or late.
Changing your shuttle flight is free of charge.
But frequent flyers say there is some unpredictability.
It's tremendously variable based on the weather, based on the traffic.
This guy, by the way, looks like her colleague at the PR company.
He's like a total PR douchebag.
And just about any other factor that can take anywhere between an hour to three hours.
Once we close the main cabin door, it'll be time to turn off and sell all portable electronic devices.
What are you going to do if you have an important phone call?
You can't get it while you're in flight.
Oh no!
What are you going to do?
Sometimes that's an advantage to be out of touch for a little bit.
But that is one of the downsides of flying.
It's your me time.
It's my me time.
On flights, there are more restrictions, smaller luggage bins...
Did she just laugh?
Did she just giggle?
Yeah.
Yeah, she giggled.
Right in the middle of the piece of the package, she giggled.
Yeah, she's getting paid for this.
Arrow or seats.
Wow.
And she's measuring the seats.
The little perk on this short flight, free beer.
Free beer.
We landed here in Washington, D.C., just an hour and 15 minutes since takeoff.
So ride or fly, it all may come down to the distance.
And if you even have an option.
Sandra Endos, CNN, Washington.
All right, Sandra Endos.
F you.
Shill.
How did she get this past?
I got a great idea.
I have an amazing idea.
I'd like to do a piece where I compare trains to planes.
This is really good.
Oh, and by the way, I think the U.S. High Speed Rail Association will buy some air time if we do this piece.
This piece with some me time.
This is news.
I think that's the clip of the day.
Meanwhile, here's what happens with your trains.
Gitmo Nation East.
The report actually says, Southwest Trains, I used to take these, stands accused of attempting to provide more seating on its service between London and Portsmouth.
Portsmouth is a huge place.
Very important train line, this.
By simply reducing the width of seats to such a degree they're only suitable for commuters without elbows.
Yeah.
And there's no...
It's like they're just squishing...
It's like sardines.
It'll be like Japan.
Which is what the future is if we keep it this pace.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, that piece was...
Yeah.
It just blew me.
If you want to see it, you can find noagendershow.com in the show notes.
I got a lot of notes as well from people who loved my Farrakhan clip from last week and actually said I'm donating because of it.
That's neither here nor there.
But that clip was removed from YouTube for being a scam.
The YouTube page says this video has been removed because it was probably a scam.
What?
Yeah.
What a scam!
And by the way, although it was an edited down version, which is what I was recommending, not that I didn't like the clip, everybody on all the right-wing talk show ran that clip on Monday, which was, of course, Monday afternoon, which was over 24 hours after we had discovered it.
Right.
Of course.
And they all thought it was hilarious.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it was good.
Now, I have an end-of-show clip that we can either play now or we can play at the end of the show.
We'll do it at the end of the show.
Just tell me what it is.
I'll cue it up.
It's the...
Well, I don't have my list up, but it's the...
I'll tell you who it is.
It's probably on the clip there.
It's Daniel Hannon from the EU. He's one of the EU Parliament members and a Conservative.
Yeah, Britain and the EU is the clip, I guess.
Yeah, and he, of course, he's not quite as, he's not Nigel Farage, but he's, just as a classic, I think it's a portent for what Britain's starting to think.
They want to get out?
Of the EU. Of the EU. He talks about this.
They want to get out, and they want to reestablish a kind of a mutual, some sort of an arrangement with Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand as some sort of, not the old commonwealth by any means, but some sort of a group of English-speaking, like-minded people that can do better work if we're working with each other rather than with the EU who he condemns.
Nah, sounds like an end-of-show clip for sure.
That's what I was thinking.
That's why I said it was an end of show clip.
March 17th, First Lady Michelle Obama, along with school children from Bancroft and Tubman Elementary Schools, joined forces for the third planting season of the White House Kitchen Garden yesterday.
And this was a nice news event.
And family members and others need to know what you are learning, emphasized the First Lady.
We want you to pass this information on, especially go home and get your parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles to cook some vegetables and make sure you're trying new things.
A lot of times they won't try to cook new things because you won't eat them.
Asked if the garden, now in its third season, would be certified organic, a spokesperson said, no, we're not going to go there.
Why?
Because you can't get your garden certified organic anymore because of the Codex Alimentarius.
It's impossible.
But to actually say, no, we're not going to go there.
No, we really don't want to go there.
Because no one can get it certified organic.
Because, you know, there's probably Monsanto, you know, whenever Ted Rumsfeld comes to visit, his Monsanto seeds are falling out of his hair and contaminating the White House kitchen garden.
We're not going to go there.
They actually said that?
Yeah.
No.
It says a spokesperson.
Spokeshole.
Yeah, unfortunately.
Yeah, we don't know.
And I don't know if this is new news or old news.
I thought I had heard this before.
Oh, it is old news.
Oh, crap.
Monsanto confirming they don't have any genetically modified food in their company cafeteria.
Is that right?
There's a little notice advising customers, as far as practical, GM soya and maize has been removed from all food products served in our restaurant.
We have taken steps to ensure that you, our visitor, can feel confident in the food we serve.
They're taking out all their own crap.
Well, they don't want to kill their old people.
A good little Monsanto for that, everybody.
Good job, guys.
You'd kill me.
Funny.
In the demon drink category, I'm sure everyone's heard about this one.
Is it Mothers Against Drunk Driving?
Who the hell is now saying we have to take out all iPhone apps out of the App Store that alert drivers to DUI checkpoints?
That was three congresspeople.
Chuck Schumer being one of them.
And I wrote a column on this in PCMag.com.
What was the gist of your column?
I'd love to know.
Condemning these four idiots because they're trying...
I think it's actually proven that when people know about checkpoints, they actually drive safer.
Yeah, I said that's important.
Also, not everybody wants to know about checkpoints because they're drunk because they don't want to sit in a line and go through a checkpoint and be treated like a criminal.
They're nice to avoid.
It sucks.
And then if you want to go, if you want to take this to the next level, which is what I think they're trying to do here, which is interfere, government interference with the actual commerce by buttoning on apps, I think that what do they do about the apps that show you where the speed traps are?
Oh, good.
Feeding kills more people than drunk drivers do.
That's next.
That's next.
What are you talking about?
That's next.
Yeah.
It's on the list.
Duh.
These four creeps, these four...
I mean, it's re...
It's actually senators.
It's Harry Reid, Schumer, Lautenberg, and Udall.
Yeah, and Udall.
And these guys should be voted out of office.
They're just trying to...
This is the same thing as the FCC's trying to horn in on the internet.
And now these guys are trying to...
They want the government to be able to approve apps.
Yeah.
That's what we don't need.
Yeah.
This is not a good development.
Go Android is what I say.
Go Android.
You can circumvent every single store.
Yeah.
You don't have them strong-arming Apple.
You know Apple's going to pull it because they'll knuckle under.
Yeah.
Well, they also pulled the gay app.
What was that?
The gay app.
Yeah.
The change from gay to straight app.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is a cool app, by the way.
I mean, it's really working for me.
I've gone from bicurious to bicurial.
This thing was done for you.
Yeah.
A couple of magic numbers here.
Let's see.
We have...
Numbers from the Federal Reserve.
By the way, they have to disclose.
They have five days or four days now to disclose all the banks they gave all that money to.
You watch.
In four days from now, something big is going to happen.
Something really, really big.
So we need to cover it up.
Exactly.
Stay away from everything.
Let's put it in the predictions.
Next Thursday's show, we'll know.
Yeah.
There's going to be some huge event.
And maybe they popped Elizabeth Taylor too soon.
Maybe they should have held on.
And I feel bad saying this.
Well, you should.
But it was a huge distraction, let's be honest.
Oh, that's all?
I was watching, trying to get some clips yesterday, and it was just, you know, it was all, you know...
Distraction.
Elizabeth Taylor.
Yeah.
And by the way, everyone's like, such a sad...
No, I'm like, you know, she had a great life.
She's a beautiful woman, fantastic.
She lived life to the max, and she was messed up.
I think she was happy to go.
I can only imagine that she's just, you know, she didn't want to live like that.
If you saw the pictures of her in the Inquirer, she looks terrible.
And they're releasing pictures.
I'm so happy for all these retrospectives.
It is good.
And I hope some of the younger kids can actually remember.
But then it's like, oh, the Kim Kardashian of her day.
Oh, excuse me, I now have to puke.
What?
That's a good one.
Kim Kardashian of her day.
Give me a break.
She actually worked for a living.
Operating expenses for the Fed and its 12 regional banks.
My mom, by the way, loved Elizabeth Taylor.
I think all women of my mom's age were just crazy about her.
I hope they're having a scotch up there.
12 regional banks rose $5.07 billion from $4.98 billion.
That includes $100 billion for Board of Governors.
What?
$100 billion for Board of Governors operating expenses.
How big is this Board of Governors?
How much?
I miss this.
The operating expenses for the Fed and its 12 regional banks rose to $5 billion.
That includes $1 billion for Board of Governors operating expenses.
What do these guys do?
Are there thousands of these people?
Wow!
That's some hookers and blow right there, buddy.
Anyway, so that's up from $888 million.
And then here it comes, $33 million for the new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.
What does that tell you?
Hey, consumers, $33 million.
You're going to get screwed.
You ain't going to get nothing.
Consumer protection.
And 33 countries will participate Wednesday in the Caribbean region's first full-scale tsunami warning exercise called Carib Wave 11.
My goodness, it doesn't get any better than that.
You've got 33 countries in Carib Wave 11 and Ocean's 15.
I mean, please, just stop it.
You're just throwing it in my face now.
When they do this stuff, it's sad.
But luckily, Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber and Irish rockers U2 will be amongst the artists featured on a digital-only album being rushed out by Universal Music to raise funds for Japan's earthquake and tsunami victims.
Also confirmed Rihanna, Bon Jovi, and Nicki Minaj.
So I think we still might have a telethon in our future.
If Gaga comes in, she's also on Universal.
So if Gaga will come in, then I think it'll happen.
Well, if Gaga comes in, yeah, absolutely.
Then we've got a show.
We'll see.
Then we're good to go.
And then, this is just a little ditty here.
I love comparing industries one to another.
The entire annual market for Viagra is...
$2 billion.
Medical marijuana is $1.7 billion.
And I think it does the same thing.
It's pretty good, huh?
Yeah, interesting find.
If it's true, and I'm sure it's from some study, because that's how news is made, I just thought it was kind of interesting.
I like that.
And I think that's it, John.
You got anything?
You got a Napolitano clip.
If we could leave on a Lucy High, that would be great.
Well, no, it's not Lucy Napolitano.
It's Judge.
Oh, that's no good.
Anything else?
Well, it's a guy ranting on Hillary.
He's got a guest on.
Just to wrap it up with some Hillary stuff, we could do that.
Some anti-Hillary screed from Doug Schoen, I guess is who it is.
It's kind of interesting.
You can play it until you get bored of it.
I also have the Obama rationale for something or other, which I thought was kind of amusing.
Well, let's do something amusing.
I just want one last clip to get at it.
Well, I think Obama mumbling about stuff is kind of funny.
Okay, let's listen to that then.
Here we go.
The efforts to protect the Libyan people.
But we will not be in the lead.
That's what the transition that I discussed has always been designed to do.
When this transition takes place, it is not going to be our planes that are maintaining the no-fly zone.
It is not going to be our ships that are necessarily involved in enforcing the arms embargo.
That's precisely what the other coalition partners are going to do.
And that's why building this international coalition has been so important.
Because it means that the United States is not bearing all the costs.
Did confirm today that more than 54 18 fighter jets are spending about as much as 20 and...
It's the same guy.
See, I even tricked you.
It's the same guy.
Yeah, you're right.
He tricked me.
So we'll finish this show up with the Britain clip so people should stand by at the end, which is a guy, a conservative from England, kind of...
He's in Aspen at some meeting they're having where the British are kind of deconstructing our...
Our situation in the United States, but essentially they're there to whine about the EU and what they'd really like to see.
And I think it's kind of an interesting...
I think it's interesting because I think they're thinking along the lines that this guy's thinking, at least in the Conservative Party of the UK. And after that, Mr.
Oil's crude show on noagendastream.com.
For those of you listening, remember we've got noagendanewsnetwork.com rocking out there.
And some upgrades coming to that again in the next week or two.
But already a lot of producers signed on and helping out.
That's highly appreciated.
Stay tuned for all of that.
And remember to help us out.
And don't forget to check your email boxes and go into your spam filters and pull that email that we sent out about the 300 Club.
Here at the Crackpot Command Center in the Watchtower thingy.
In my tent.
In my tent in the rain.
I'm Adam Curry.
And curiously, the rain has now ceased after the...
I mean, I'm basically barely here at the show because of this pounding rain here in northern Silicon Valley where it's wet.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We will talk to you again on Sunday for early morning service right here on No Agenda.
In the UK, you've just had a conservative government.
Where are you going with that?
Are you going to get less Europe, less welfare state?
Well, we are making some sensible welfare reforms.
That's probably the single best thing that the new government is doing.
But the government has run up again and again against the reality of its EU treaty obligations.
It finds that even the smallest domestic reforms turn out to be against some EU directive or other.
So, last week, David Cameron had this big idea.
The one thing he says he wants to be remembered for, which he calls the big society.
And it'll be familiar in its theory to an audience like this, if not in its specifics.
His idea is that there is a space between the state and the individual, the sphere of civic society and churches and charities and so on, and that they should be doing loads of the things that the government is currently doing, right?
Brilliant idea.
We would all agree with that, conservative, libertarian.
We'd all make common cause on that one, right?
He was going to fund the transition to this big society by using the money that has gone unclaimed in bank accounts for, I think it's 25 years or something.
In other words, it's forgotten, it's just sitting there, and that currently isn't doing anything.
The day before he announced the policy, he was told that that was against EU law.
Now my point is not that you should or shouldn't be able to access defunct bank accounts.
It's, what the devil does this have to do with the European Union?
How did that become a cross-border issue?
And this is what we've come up against again and again.
I mean, I discovered the other day that I am obliged by EU law to keep my children in car seats when I drive them around until they reach the age of 12.
I had been looking forward to discarding the wretched yoghurt encrusted blobs at a much earlier stage than that.
I speak obviously of the car seats, not of the children.
LAUGHTER Now, some of you might think that makes me a very irresponsible dad.
But the point is, whichever side of that you're on, how did it ever become an international question that the EU had to decide on and then impose uniformly on half a billion people?
That's the kind of issue here that your state legislators would decide on, not even your federal ones.
And yet in Europe it's decided at international level.
And that's the basic problem.
More than 80% of our laws are coming from Brussels, from people that nobody has voted for.
This is the opposite of your system.
Your constitution was based around the dispersal of power, the freedom of the citizen, the maximization of democracy.
The EU was based...
Line one, clause one of the opening treaty of Rome on the ever closer union, i.e.
on the centralization of power.
And from that basic design floor flow all of the problems.
I look forward to the day when the United Kingdom becomes an independent country.
When we have a vote on this, we vote, as I'm confident that my countrymen will, to re-establish their sovereignty.
And I look forward to our forming a closer non-governmental but genuine and organic union with the other English-speaking peoples.
Because when we have looked at the greatest threats to freedom of the last few hundred years, and we look at who defends them, it's the same countries whose names keep coming up again and again.
United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
And that, to me, that is a genuine union based on speech, on law, on history, and on affinity of values, not on governments or treaties or trade.
I think we would be a much happier people if we rediscovered our global vocation and our ancient friendship with you.
Let me emphasize that we anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks.
