	Going to religion, culinary arts, airlines, food recipes, else United States, Africa, outdoor recreation, travel, tourism.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, March 31st, 2011.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 291.
	This is No Agenda.
	Ripping up Article 1, Section 8 here at the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in Gamow Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm reading Agenda 21, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Hey!
	In the morning to you.
	And in the morning to you and all ships at sea and beats on the ground.
	Beats underground.
	Beats grow underground.
	And boots on the ground, perhaps.
	We've been emailing me.
	Yeah, we've got some boots on the ground in Libya, I understand.
	Yeah, we do.
	We've got boots on the ground everywhere.
	You know, this is getting so exciting with this show, is that we literally have boots on the ground everywhere.
	I mean, from 611 Folsom Street, 600 Folsom Street, to Libya.
	The foots are on the ground everywhere.
	It's very good.
	So we bring you the true news.
	Yeah, we have our own people.
	We're gathering intelligence.
	So, yeah, I wish there was something to talk about.
	Alright, let me just kick it off, because we might as well get this crap out of the way.
	Right off the bat.
	Well, do we have to?
	Yeah, yeah, I think so.
	Because when we last left Adam and John, and John Boy and Mary Ellen and Sue Bob, the president was speaking on Monday to the nation's About how it is possible that we are at war in Libya without following the Constitution of the United States.
	You're referring to his little talk?
	His little ditty there.
	By the way, what did you watch it on?
	I watched it on C-SPAN. What did you watch it on?
	I think I watched it on C-SPAN too.
	Did you see that extra, extra long shot of the teleprompter they made?
	Yeah.
	I was like, wow!
	C-SPAN, for people out there, C-SPAN took a kind of behind the Obama shot into the audience.
	And the audience was filled with all these bored, it looks like they took everyone from the Pentagon and had an announcement over the PA system.
	Students, at 12 o'clock there will be an assembly.
	All students are expected to be in the gym at 12 o'clock.
	Did you see, because with C-SPAN, you don't have to listen to Wolf Blitzer talk in a little small itty-bitty window of what's actually going on.
	You see the full screen before it happens.
	The president, he like bounded onto the stage.
	He's like, woohoo!
	Yeah, but you know the way he walks, he's like a chipmunk.
	He's got both hands in front of himself.
	Chipmunk.
	It's like a little chipmunk and he jumps.
	And his hands are, his motionless hands are in front of him, kind of tucked in a little, like a dog paddle kind of thing.
	And that's the way he walks down the Air Force One and that's the way he jumps on the stage.
	He's got his hands, it's like Mr.
	Burns has got his hands up.
	He is Mr.
	Burns.
	He bounded onto the stage.
	And so they had that extra-long teleprompter shot.
	It was just hilarious.
	I mean, I could read two whole paragraphs out loud.
	And Mickey's like, what are you doing?
	How do you do that?
	Well, I'm just reading the teleprompter.
	It's on the screen here.
	Yeah, no, they had a shot from behind.
	Apparently, Obama set up with...
	This is a triple...
	Do you see this on awards?
	No, it's a triple prompter.
	Triple play.
	It's a triple prompter.
	You've got your two glass prompters on your left and your right.
	And then way in the back, there's a giant screen on the back wall that is a prompter.
	And this thing you could...
	I was doing the same thing, especially when I put it up on the screen.
	I could read the speech in advance.
	So, um...
	A couple things.
	First of all, I fell off my chair.
	I fell off my chair, John.
	Literally.
	Get a different chair, for God's sake.
	You're going to kill yourself.
	When the president says, we have seized $33 billion, I'm like, oh my God.
	Throw it in my face.
	It was the largest asset seizure in history.
	It was more than $30 billion.
	And now it was $33 billion.
	Hello?
	Actually, he may have had to say that because Hillary let it slip the day before.
	Hillary was at, which I have some clips of her.
	I'm sorry to report.
	That is indeed quite unfortunate.
	Well, before you get to Hillary, there was another piece of code in there that I noticed.
	Or do you want to continue on the 33 thing?
	I mean, that was just blatant code for, we've got the cash.
	We've got it.
	We're going to rebuild with his own cash.
	Who wants some of the 33 billion?
	Is that your Obama?
	Yeah, it's the other Obama.
	All right, go on.
	You've got some other stuff.
	I have one Obama clip from that speech.
	You can play it if you want.
	Well, okay.
	It's just the guts of it, the way I see it.
	All right, the guts of it.
	Let's listen to that then.
	Mindful of the risks and costs of military action, we are naturally reluctant to use force to solve the world's many challenges.
	Yeah.
	But when our interests and values are at stake...
	We have a responsibility to act.
	That's what's happened in Libya over the course of these last six weeks.
	Libya sits directly between Tunisia and Egypt.
	Thank you for the geography lesson.
	I actually looked.
	I'm like, let me just make sure.
	This is how anal I've become.
	Let me just make sure it's exactly between the two.
	Ah, crap.
	He wasn't lying for a moment.
	...inspired the world.
	when their people rose up to take control of their own destiny.
	For more than four decades, the Libyan people have been ruled by a tyrant, Muammar Gaddafi.
	He has denied his people freedom, exploited their wealth, murdered opponents at home and abroad, and terrorized innocent people around the world, including Americans who were killed by Libyan agents.
	He also said something about humanity.
	But Americans were killed by Libyan agents.
	Were they over here killing people?
	Well, see, I couldn't really find that anywhere, nor could I find any real mention, except back to the 1970s, where during the revolution, which is when it all started for Gaddafi, they hung people who they overthrew, essentially.
	And the president says, you know, he's hung people in the streets!
	I'm like, yeah, but that was part of the revolution.
	It wasn't necessarily Gaddafi that did that.
	But okay, I'll take that.
	Whatever.
	He's a bad guy.
	Yeah, we're really good.
	Like those bombs have flowers poof out of it.
	Right, whatever.
	But the thing is...
	As an aside, I want you to continue, but as an aside...
	Are you a little concerned that, you know, Obama brags, and so does Hillary, actually, about how quick they are to jump into this fray without, you know, giving it much thought to just do it?
	And I'm reminded of, remember that woman from the agriculture department at some right-wing talk show taking a clip from her and then they fire her?
	Oh, right.
	Remember that?
	It was like they jumped to action before they really think things through.
	I'm worried.
	These guys have their finger on the red button.
	Well, you're trying to be...
	Oh, my God.
	It looks like a missile launch.
	Well, don't take any chances.
	Push the button and let's launch all our missiles.
	All right.
	So now you're talking like a rational guy and I've got to stop that.
	I've got to intervene.
	I've got to intervene.
	So there was another piece of code and something happened that confirmed this for me.
	I'm reading here from the official transcript.
	We knew that...
	We knew that if we wanted one more day, Benghazi, a city nearly the size of Charlotte, would suffer a massacre that would have reverberated across the region and sustained the conscience of the world.
	Ah!
	That caught my attention too, because why Charlotte?
	Why Charlotte?
	Now, Charlotte is in North Carolina.
	Now, we've had other little warning shots go out to Charlotte in the past.
	What is the main, main company that is headquartered in Charlotte?
	The Bank of America.
	Who?
	Bank of America.
	The Bank of America riot is in Charlotte.
	And then what happens the other day on the news?
	I'm trying to find out what or who caused a hole in the side of a U.S. Airways jetliner.
	The pilot of the Flight 737 was making a visual inspection of the plane when he noticed that small hole above the passenger windows.
	The flight originated in Philadelphia and had just landed safely at the airport in Charlotte, North Carolina.
	So, someone shot at the plane.
	It's a bullet hole that entered through the top of the fuselage, through the passenger cabin, and went right into the cabin.
	Someone shot at the plane.
	Well, now, wasn't there a bunch of Bank of America executives on that plane that landed in the Hudson?
	Yes!
	33 of them, I might add.
	Right, and under most normal circumstances, if it wasn't for good old Sully, they would all be dead.
	Yes.
	Sully, who has a multi-million dollar two-book deal, one of them which is poetry, of his great haikus.
	He's on the other side of whatever battle this is we're witnessing.
	So, when you say something like this...
	I mean, here's the way I read it.
	If we waited one more day, Benghazi, a city nearly the size of Charlotte, in other words, Charlotte could suffer a massacre that would have reverberated across the region and stained the conscience of the world.
	For some reason, and I think this has to do with the $33 billion, for some reason this is a message saying, hey, hey, we've got our eye on you.
	And I think it's Bank of America.
	There's a lot of big companies in Charlotte, by the way.
	I think there's some other banks there, too.
	Well, it's kind of a big financial center now, but if you look at this...
	Well, it sounds like a message to Charlotte to me.
	Yeah.
	Why would you say Charlotte?
	Half the Americans don't even know what you're talking about.
	Charlotte?
	Charlotte is some woman.
	I didn't even understand it at first.
	I had to go back to the transcript.
	What was he talking about?
	Charlotte.
	Charlotte.
	What's going on there?
	Uh...
	So I have like a million different little things, but it's obvious that everybody...
	So the first thing is, what he's doing and what he continued to do on numerous different shows...
	Explain away the fact that he has done this without congressional approval, which is written in the Constitution that it has to happen that way.
	And what is continuously being said is, no, no, we saved or created thousands of people.
	We had to act now.
	And I don't care.
	I'm sorry.
	I don't care.
	I just don't care about the people of Libya that much.
	I care more about the agreement that we have.
	What else good is the Constitution?
	So this whole thing is resulting in at least a push forward where the President of the United States does not have to adhere to the Constitution.
	And I am outraged by this.
	And look at our Congress.
	Look at the Senate.
	Even Ron Paul is not even...
	You know, he was asked on some show, well, you know, Dennis Kucinich says we should impeach the president.
	Would you sign on?
	And even Ron Paul's going like, well, you know, I would have to see.
	What?
	Ron Paul's not agreeing with impeachment over this?
	John, your take, please.
	Kucinich's the only honest man in Congress, and we never even liked the guy.
	No!
	Well, I like him because he's seen UFOs.
	That's cool.
	Well, you like him because he's got the best looking wife in Congress.
	Yeah, she is.
	She's pretty hot.
	And so there's a couple of things.
	Actually, I pulled a clip from...
	I got a Hillary clip here.
	Now, this is from last Sunday.
	But I don't care what words you use.
	Certainly the word imagine is not enough to break a fundamental part of the Constitution.
	Because, you know, I know that there's been a lot of questions, and those questions deserve to be asked and answered.
	The President's going to address the nation on Monday night.
	Imagine we were sitting here.
	Imagine!
	John, just imagine!
	Imagine!
	Imagine!
	Imagine.
	Imagine we're just sitting here, John.
	Just imagine for a moment.
	Just imagine.
	Okay?
	And Benghazi had been overrun, a city of 700,000 people, and tens of thousands of people had been slaughtered.
	So she's making us imagine something.
	Imagine that people have been not killed but slaughtered, by the way.
	But imagine.
	It's not like it is happening, it has happened.
	No, imagine.
	Imagine.
	Just imagine, as Hillary says...
	Hundreds of thousands had fled, and as Bob said, either with nowhere to go or overwhelming Egypt while it's in its own difficult transition.
	And we were sitting here.
	The cries would be, why did the United States not do anything?
	No, I don't think so.
	It's just not...
	I just disagree.
	No one's crying about the Ivory Coast.
	Point to that on the map.
	The Ivory Coast is worse.
	And Syria, they're butchering people.
	Slaughtering, I'm sorry, let me get that right.
	Slaughtering.
	Slaughtering people as we speak.
	Yes, slaughtering.
	And then, so I watched hours and hours and hours and hours of C-SPAN. How much was that?
	You watched hours and hours and hours?
	At least 15 hours.
	Because I only watched hours and hours and hours.
	No, no.
	I watched hours and hours and hours and hours.
	So everyone gets it.
	We watched hours.
	Yeah, we watched hours.
	Right.
	Right.
	So they had the two generals.
	They had the guy in charge of NATO and then this General Stavridis.
	Stavridis.
	Greek dude.
	Stavros Blofeld.
	Stavros Blofeld.
	And it's about Libya, right?
	And of course everyone's there, Lieberman, McCain, everyone's pontificate.
	And literally they start the show off, this will last about two hours and 47 minutes.
	I'm like, ugh!
	Okay, so I watch it, looking for some gold.
	Because, you know, this is all about the Libyan invasion.
	That's how it's titled on C-SPAN. And they go all off the track, and it's about the budget.
	But then McCain comes out, and I'm like, yeah, thanks, man, finally.
	I watched two and a half hours for this.
	But it was pretty good.
	So McCain, who in 2009 went to do a weapons deal with Gaddafi in Libya.
	This is documented.
	It's not like any big secret.
	He went there to do a deal for $40 billion, and it was for non-offensive weapons, so I guess billy clubs and stun guns or whatever.
	But it was a weapons deal, $40 billion.
	The same guy is saying this just two days ago in Congress.
	So, the only other question, I know this is a very tough one, but there are persistent rumors that Qaddafi really has very few friends and it's likely that at some point they will crack and he will either leave, be killed, whatever.
	Is that something that you think is a pretty good possibility that may happen?
	As I look at the situation in Libya, Senator...
	By the way, for a general, no voice.
	You can see a wide range of possibilities out ahead of us that run from a static stalemate to what you just described, Qaddafi cracking.
	I think that if we work all the elements of power, I think we have a chance at a more than reasonable chance of Qaddafi leaving because the entire international community is arrayed against him.
	And I think the events today in London where 40 nations are gathered to discuss this would lend weight to the theory that, as Secretary Gates said in testimony or on a talk show, he probably doesn't need to be hanging any new pictures.
	Now, McCain is coming up with this horrible thing he's about to say, but I just want to point out, this is a new thing.
	Everyone is using these little, like, quips.
	You know, like, you just heard Secretary Gates says he doesn't need to hang any new pictures.
	It's like they're so arrogant now.
	Have you noticed this, John?
	Now that you mention it, I should have noticed it, but I have noticed it, but it hasn't come up in my consciousness enough.
	Now it has.
	But you're right, it's all over the place.
	It's all quips.
	They all think they're stand-up.
	Yeah, exactly.
	He doesn't need to hang any new pictures.
	We're going to come here and kick your ass!
	Gaddafi, kick your ass!
	Alright, now here comes McCain, the guy who did business with Gaddafi two years ago.
	And he, clearly, we just want him gone.
	Whether to be live with Chavez or meet Hitler and Stalin or be in a criminal court.
	What is this?
	To meet Hitler and Stalin.
	McCain.
	McCain.
	I'm sorry.
	McCain, you're not funny.
	No, you're not funny and you're a total douche.
	To meet Hitler and Stalin or go live with Hugo Chavez.
	So then, this is what blew my mind.
	So then they all meet in London.
	And Haig, the foreign minister for Gitmo Nation East, puts together a conference, which has stickers, by the way.
	I watched the entire conference.
	It's called the London Conference on Libya.
	And it has logos and stickers.
	It's like, what is it?
	When was this planned?
	Oh, well, I could tell you about that.
	So, a couple things.
	First of all, speaking our, so Haig, of course, spoke.
	Cameron, I got a minute or so of Cameron, which is just disgusting.
	And, well, no, let's play Cameron first.
	First, UN Security Council Resolution 1973.
	It was just 12 days ago, following an appeal by the Arab League, that the United Nations passed the historic resolution to protect the people of Libya from the murderous brutality of Colonel Gaddafi.
	Now, that's not what the resolution was, but okay.
	We're blaming the Arab League for everything.
	Yeah, oh yeah, the Arab League, which is a bunch of kings and dictators.
	These aren't democratic countries, but it gets better.
	At the meeting, Nicolas Sarkozy hosted...
	Nicolas, Nicolas, he's Nicolas, because we called him in class, it's Nicolas.
	Nicolas Sarkozy.
	Nicky.
	Nicky.
	Nicky C. Nicky S. Sarko.
	...did in Paris.
	We made the right choice.
	That was to draw a line in the desert sand...
	More jokes.
	A line in the desert sand.
	Get it?
	Get it?
	To halt the murderous advance of Gaddafi's forces.
	Murderous!
	And I think we should be in no doubt.
	Let's make it clear.
	Let there be no doubt.
	That action did save the city of Benghazi.
	Or created.
	It averted a massacre.
	Averted a massacre!
	John!
	It averted a massacre!
	Did you hear that?
	A massacre!
	How do we actually know that?
	We don't!
	All you have to do is...
	It's all it takes.
	Just got to imagine.
	It has at least given freedom a chance in Libya.
	But I think we should be in no doubt about something else.
	I love that little misstep there.
	You hear that?
	Did you catch it?
	Yeah.
	I think we should be in doubt.
	I mean, no doubt.
	I love it when they do that.
	Hey, play.
	What are you doing?
	In Libya.
	But I think we should be in no doubt about something else as well.
	Oh, what?
	And that is, as we sit here today, and as I speak, People in Misrata continue to suffer murderous attacks from the regime.
	I have had reports this morning that the city is under attack from both land and from the sea.
	How can it be from the sea?
	They've got the whole thing sealed off.
	That sounds like squirrel bullcrap.
	Gaddafi is using snipers to shoot people down and let them bleed to death in the street.
	Bastard!
	What a boss did I tell you!
	He's cut off food, water, and electricity to staff people into submission.
	And he is harassing humanitarian ships that are trying to get into the port to do what they can to relieve their suffering.
	How can he do this?
	There's like a million warships out there.
	They've got the ports completely sealed off.
	You can hear the radio reports.
	This is a lie.
	Cameron, you lying sack.
	Anyway, so forget this.
	Enough of that.
	Forget that.
	But who else speaks at this conference, John?
	Who else speaks?
	Hillary.
	Besides Hillary.
	You see, you tuned out after Hillary.
	This is where you missed it.
	Oh, Hillary was at the end.
	The foreign minister of Qatar.
	Yes.
	In fact, I want to mention the fact that...
	Wait a minute.
	They don't have a government.
	They've got a royal family.
	Exactly.
	The prime minister.
	So the prime minister of Qatar shows up.
	So when you're done with this little whatever, wherever you're headed with this, I've got another direction to take it.
	Okay.
	So I'll tell you what I have...
	So what happens is Qatar all of a sudden gets the rights to sell the Libyan oil that the rebels all of a sudden seem to know how to hand off.
	It's like this ragtag bunch of guys with nothing but AKs.
	Hey, let me just make sure we keep the oil shipping out.
	They send it to Qatar.
	Qatar is going to be able to sell this.
	The Libyan rebels have started a central bank.
	Oh my god, how is it possible?
	They're so incredibly smart because a central bank is not like some guy sitting on a crate with a stack of gold.
	No, it's a highly computerized system that ties in with all other central banks.
	And so I start looking into Qatar.
	Oh, let's see.
	Al Jazeera comes from Qatar.
	They recently were awarded the 2022 World Cup.
	Qatar has been in on this from the get-go.
	Of course, but Qatar is, if you think of where Al Jazeera really comes from, you have to, and the fact that there's only one guy in England, you have to make the assumption that Qatar is an aspect of MI6. Duh!
	But the fact that they got rewarded with the World Cup is obvious.
	Hey, you know what?
	You guys, you do everything we say.
	They had to send one plane over to fly around.
	Actually, the international soccer fans, football, are up in arms about the Qatar thing.
	Nobody wants to go there to watch the damn World Cup.
	It's a miserable place.
	No, you'll be safe.
	You're completely protected now.
	You will be safe.
	They had to send one plane, just like F-16s and a guy in a biplane.
	Oh, there's Qatar.
	Qatar has joined us.
	Oh, we should give them the oil and let them help with the central bank.
	And we'll give them the World Cup.
	Oh, lovely.
	Lovely, lovely, lovely.
	And just to finalize my rant, here is Secretary Gates, when posed the question, because of course I'll shut up about the Constitution, because everyone else seems to not care, especially all the Obama bots who are yelling and screaming about...
	You know what?
	Screw it.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry, John.
	I can't wait.
	I don't think you've heard this one yet.
	This is a campaign video from 2002.
	This is 2002, mind you, 2002.
	This is Senator, to be Senator Barack Obama, campaigning, a campaign video from him.
	I don't oppose war in all circumstances, and when I look out over this crowd today, I know there is no shortage of patriots or patriotism.
	What I do oppose...
	Is a dumb war!
	A rash war.
	A war based not on reason, but on passion.
	Not on principle, but on politics.
	Now let me be clear, I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein.
	He is a brutal man.
	A ruthless man.
	A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power.
	But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent or direct threat to the United States.
	So this goes on for two minutes.
	It's all these testimonials of the Obama bots saying exactly what they're not saying right now.
	Stand up and don't be ashamed to say, hey, I made a mistake.
	And by the way, we all voted the guy in.
	Whether you voted against him or not, we all accept it.
	You have to stand up and say, this is a mistake.
	This is George W. Obama.
	I apologize.
	We've got to get this guy out and I want my representatives to take care of it.
	Because he's...
	Denouncing the Constitution of the United States, Article 1, Section 8, which means, unless we're under some imminent threat, imminent threat, he has no right to go to war without the support of Congress.
	Secretary Gates, was there an imminent threat?
	Do you think Libya posed an actual or imminent threat to the United States?
	No.
	I mean, he doesn't even think for a second!
	No!
	No?
	No!
	No, it was not a vital national interest to the United States, but it was an interest.
	No!
	It was an interest for all of the reasons.
	It's an interest!
	It's an interest!
	It's just a little bit of interest.
	We're interested.
	Interested in what's going on.
	Terry Clinton talked about the engagement of the Arabs.
	The Arabs are interested!
	We're interested!
	Shut up!
	Okay, I think you made your point.
	John?
	Imagine all the people.
	Okay.
	I think I have made my point, and I'm just disgusted, and I think I might have to leave the republic.
	You'll be doing a disservice to our listeners.
	I certainly denounce everybody.
	Just everybody.
	I denounce all of you.
	Instead of denouncing, let's thank some of our producers for today's show before I go into my couple of rants.
	Hell yeah.
	I wish I had a better slogan than George W. Bush, but I think it's the best one.
	Anger.
	Okay, I'm better now.
	We did have people, I mean, are we sucking with the show, or are people digging it, or what's going on?
	It's, you know, we're doing as well as can be expected with the fact that...
	We're in a depression?
	We're in a depression, and some people just don't have the...
	I get a lot of emails about people saying, you know, I'm saving as soon as my check...
	Like, yeah, like you're going to get a refund check.
	So we have one, two, three, four executive, or actually three executive producers and one, two, three associates.
	Okay.
	Including somebody who mailed in a donation, which I better find on here on my list.
	Of course, those things are always...
	All right, good job.
	Well prepared.
	He calls for the segment.
	The problem is I'm taking notes while you're playing all those clips, and then it buries something else I need to have.
	Anyway...
	The only note you need to take is, Adam pissed off.
	Hmm.
	So let's go with, starting with Gary Lader, who is in Richmond, Virginia.
	$366.66.
	Nice.
	Which includes $300 for the 300 Club and the remaining $66.66, which is 33 times 2, is for a request for two huge doses of karma.
	One for his daughter, Madison's JMU, James Madison University.
	That's interesting.
	Her daughter's name is Madison.
	She's going to James Madison.
	That's very funny.
	Wait a minute.
	Hold on.
	You're worse than these douchebags in government.
	For the crew team who has their first not-so-spring regatta this weekend.
	We're giving you karma for regattas now.
	Come on, let's hand out the karma for the regatta, everybody.
	You've got karma.
	And for his daughter.
	Hell yeah.
	She needs it more than that.
	Of course, the regatta.
	What is it, like Facebook?
	And to my other city of Richmond and the VCU Rams, who hopefully get two more wins in them, which seems like a lot of requests.
	I started at a Facebook account for my company, Matt Depot.
	This is our Matt Depot guy who makes these great-looking...
	Oh, my goodness.
	They're awesome.
	You know that my garage has flooded four times this year.
	And, of course, the landlady is like, she comes two days later.
	I don't see no water.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	And the mat is in the garage.
	It's, you know, into the door, into the house.
	And it's still, it's not like molded, nothing.
	It's like made of titanium.
	It's beautiful.
	It's a nice mat.
	Yeah.
	But now we only have 29 likes.
	And it's frankly embarrassing.
	He needs more likes on Facebook, I guess.
	I'm not promoting it.
	I don't know what he's talking about.
	Like what?
	I don't get it.
	What's that?
	If you guys give me a plug at mattdepot.com.
	Of course.
	I'll donate 33 cents for every new follower we accrue through April 19th.
	Also, no sales to report in the Noagenda floor mat except for the two I bought myself.
	To send to you guys.
	Well, this is sad.
	The Noagenda floor mat is awesome.
	It's the gift that keeps on giving.
	It's beautiful.
	Really, it's a nice floor mat and it's high quality.
	It's perfect for right in front of the sink in your kitchen because it's one of these waterproof with a rubber bag.
	Yeah, it's indestructible.
	Chuck Martin Ridge, New York, 33333.
	First time donor.
	I've been following John since he wrote his first newsletter for the TRS Color Computer, which I did.
	Oh my God.
	I know, it's funny, because I never did a newsletter for the TRS. You're not doing the voice right.
	I'm Chuck, first time donor.
	Back in the day.
	I've been following John.
	When I was a kid, we didn't have newsletters.
	We had the Color Computer with Chiclet keyboard, and we liked it.
	Keep up the excellent reports on the show makes my time in the gym fly.
	We didn't have no floppies.
	We had cassette tapes.
	I was actually in the era of the cassette tape.
	Mediasplash.net, Arlington, Texas.
	Please read the email I'm sending, which I have to look up in the halfway show.
	Please look it up.
	James Sutton, Arlington, Massachusetts, $300.
	And this is a good one.
	It's Matiusz Berazeki in Menlo Park.
	$200.
	John and Adam promised Adam to donate, but didn't make it on time on Sunday's show.
	My L.A. trip gives me...
	Mateus!
	How hard can that be?
	That's what I said.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	You want to read these names?
	No.
	My L.A. trip gives me hangovers.
	I don't know why.
	I have been listening to No Agenda for years now, but couldn't afford donating in Poland.
	Okay.
	I moved to the U.S. to get a job here.
	Get out of my debt.
	Now I'm donating to support you guys.
	Keep up with a good job.
	Please de-doucher him.
	Yes, here we go.
	You've been de-douched.
	He's a shout-out to his girlfriend, Kristen, and my best friend from Finland, who introduced me to your show.
	A Finn and a Polish guy?
	Wait a minute.
	Walking to a bar.
	It sounds like the Yo Agenda show to me.
	Right.
	He bought the Challenge Coins, but has still yet to donate.
	P.S., and then he pronounced his name, it's $200.
	And finally, a check came in the mail, and I recommend people use the mail for...
	Donating if they want to bypass PayPal.
	The information is at Dvorak.org slash NA. It's on the donation page, the address.
	Kevin McNulty in Delaware, Ohio.
	$200 from him, too.
	So those are our producers for today's show.
	Thank you very much.
	Yeah, we highly appreciate it.
	We've been putting in the work, that's for sure.
	But if you really want to help this show and raise your own karma levels, there's only one thing to remember.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. So, a couple of PR mentions, John.
	We have some pretty good domain names that are now forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com, and of course, all the credits for this are in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
	CrackpotCommandCenter.com, now forwarding to the show's website, which I like.
	That's a good one.
	That's a very good one.
	GitmoRadio.com, which I think is another great find.
	We are now also living large in Argentina with noagenda.com.ar.
	Another fantastic initiative.
	YouWillObey.us.
	Hey, hey.
	Good one.
	That's a good one.
	It's very, very good.
	Detectivedookie.com.
	Now this one, there's two left, and people have really been holding on to some good ones.
	You know how people will register like 10 years ago, and like, I'm going to hold on to this one.
	Yeah, and you sit on them.
	Yeah, you sit on it, right.
	You're hoping somebody comes along and says, yeah, I gave you $300,000 for that site.
	So it turns out it's better just to donate it to us.
	Well, you don't actually, these people still own the domain name, so, you know.
	Yeah, they're just forwarding.
	Yeah, just forwarding.
	We're borrowing the domain.
	CarbonCreditsSwap.com.
	Ooh!
	Yeah, exactly.
	Hello.
	And this one.
	This one is so good, I'm actually going to mention Jason Butler.
	He says, I've been sitting on the domain of that little punk for years.
	It'll do more good pointing to you guys.
	The URL, John?
	SeanHannity.com.
	Try it.
	Try it.
	It actually works.
	So if anyone says, what is this thing you talk about, just go to SeanHannity.com.
	Don't worry.
	It's all cool.
	Yeah, we'll be getting a season to this letter eventually.
	But until then...
	Yeah, we'll continue using it.
	We love it.
	Thank you so much, Jason.
	That's fantastic.
	Also, thanks to our executive producers and some of the 300 club members.
	Gary Lader, Chuck Martin, Mediasplash.net, James Sutton, Mateos Berezeski, and Kevin McNulty.
	We really appreciate your giving levels.
	You are doing it for the show.
	We're doing it for some karma.
	And everyone else out there, you should be doing this.
	Propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Everybody say it loud, proud of you like you mean it.
	Shut up, slave!
	Just shut up.
	Alright, back to work.
	Enough fun for the moment.
	For the time being.
	Go to SeanHannity.com.
	It's amazing.
	I just love it.
	How does that happen?
	I don't know, because he has Hannity.com.
	I'm sure he tried to get SeanHannity.com.
	And he was just too cheap to call the guy up and say, hey, I want this?
	I guess.
	The guy's making millions and millions of dollars a year.
	He can afford to throw some money at the guy.
	At our man.
	I don't know.
	You know what was really disturbing?
	So I watched Rand Paul.
	I watched so much C-SPAN. I mean, I'm like, I am C-SPAN drone now.
	So Rand Paul gets on the floor.
	And he goes, you know, he's basically saying, you know, war without Congress, you know, he says, you know, despicable.
	You know, he does what Ron Paul would do, essentially.
	But then Dick Durbin gets on, and they cut him off.
	C-SPAN cut him off.
	It was like the weirdest thing, John.
	So he starts apologizing.
	Dick Durbin, of course, is a Democrat.
	He starts apologizing, and then C-SPAN just cuts in and says, we're going to something else.
	And I didn't understand.
	I couldn't figure it out.
	The cut was live broadcast.
	The only time they do that is when it's a secondary feed and they're actually in Congress and somebody's taking a vote.
	And then when they have that moment where they say, we've got ten minutes to take the vote.
	And then they go dead and they start playing some music.
	No, it was something about the housing, financial, whatever.
	Really?
	Yeah, listen to this.
	I may regret some of his characterizations of our president, but I won't go into that at this moment.
	So he's responding to Rand Paul.
	I will say the following.
	Let's make the record clear about how we got into this situation and why we got into this situation, which the President said the other night.
	This wasn't a matter of waiting until Congress came back from its vacation.
	It was a matter of innocent people being killed in Libya.
	Slaughtered!
	It was no mistake what Gaddafi was going to do.
	He said, point blank, I'm going to Benghazi, I'm going house to house and room to room and kill people.
	Did he say that?
	Did you ever hear, was there anything, I googled this, did Gaddafi ever say, I'm going to Benghazi house to house to kill people?
	Did he say that?
	I never heard it.
	Of course not.
	Dick Durbin, you liar.
	My own people.
	And he added, my own people.
	I'm going to kill my own people.
	You watch.
	I'm crazy Gaddafi.
	He said that too.
	I'm crazy Gaddafi.
	And if they're my own people, I'm killing them.
	Hey, are you my own?
	You're dead.
	It shouldn't come as any surprise because he has a history of that.
	Not only killing his own people, but killing those innocent passengers on Pan Am 103.
	Mark that.
	I have to say something about that.
	He is a ruthless, bloody dictator.
	So much so that the Arab League of Nations...
	Broke precedent and called for Libya to be expelled as long as Gaddafi was in charge.
	His own Arab League of Nations expelled him.
	His own?
	He owns it?
	He owns it.
	It may be his bitch.
	His bitch turned on him.
	Turned to the United Nations and said, please, stop him from killing his own people.
	Will the senator yield for a question?
	When I finish my statement, I will.
	Shut up, slave.
	I'd be happy to yield.
	They then said, I'd be happy to yield.
	They then said, go to the United Nations and create the authority...
	I'm sorry.
	That's where they cut it off.
	Literally.
	And then they went into...
	It was just a rant.
	Yeah, but still...
	What an a-hole that guy is.
	So, about this, let's just talk about Pan Am Flight 103 for a second.
	You mean the one that was carrying...
	Cocaine and...
	Cocaine.
	Yeah, and also there's something to do with Syria.
	It has something to do with it, too.
	Right.
	So there's never been...
	Now, John, we've been tracking this Megrahi.
	This goes back several...
	This was all coming.
	This was all happening.
	And I think...
	That a couple of things were going on in the background.
	First of all, they let this McGrahi guy go because his family, very rich family, was suing the British government about his false imprisonment.
	And no one wants the truth to come above ground about this whole thing because it was about the CIA smuggling heroin and or cocaine on Pan Am flights.
	They found suitcases full of this stuff.
	The whole thing was a huge cover-up.
	Gaddafi gets the blame.
	You It was a scheme gone bad.
	Gaddafi was in the crosshairs.
	They blamed him.
	I mean, this whole episode, if anybody remembers the period, it was in the 90s.
	Go back to the British newspapers in 1988.
	I have it linked in the show notes.
	You can reread it.
	Deep, deep research on this.
	Most of this stuff was thrown out in court.
	It was a kangaroo court.
	And now, of course, it's become in the public consciousness that Gaddafi and Libya had something to do with it.
	But at the time, there was zero evidence of this.
	It was all linked to some shady scheme that was going on and Syria.
	Exactly.
	Now, let me give you the fractal.
	Here's the fractal that will freak you out.
	You're a fractal guy.
	So, Libya's foreign minister, Musa Kousa, which sounds kind of like a hip-hopper, I think.
	I'm Musa Kousa here to say, yo!
	Musa Kousa flew into the UK, and immediately everyone's like, Oh, he's defected!
	They're running away!
	The rats are leaving the ship!
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Nothing could be further from the truth.
	In fact...
	Member of Parliament Robert Halfon in the United States of Gitmo Nation compared CUSA's arrival to that of Hitler's Lieutenant Rudolf Hess in the Second World War.
	John, would you please take us back in time and explain Rudolf Hess?
	Well, I don't have too many details because I wasn't there, but Rudolf Hess supposedly was coming in to broker a deal.
	Right.
	Or at least is what was perceived.
	And what happened to Rudolf Hess?
	I don't know what happened to you.
	I can't remember.
	I think he was imprisoned.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	He died on an unfortunate airplane crash.
	Oh, that's right.
	That's right.
	I can't remember.
	Yeah.
	Gets me off guard with historical references in the 40s.
	Come on.
	So, of course, what was happening...
	Yeah, right.
	He got killed.
	Right.
	And it was...
	I forget the guy's name now.
	It was the British elitist who went to go meet the guy and pick him up.
	And he came to negotiate a deal, which I believe is what Musa Kusa is coming to do.
	He's coming over here.
	And he lands at Farnborough, okay?
	I know Farnborough Airport.
	You know, it's the only one you can land without a flight plan with an international flight.
	It's no big deal.
	Not like I went to Heathrow.
	I went to Farmbro with this biplane.
	I'm here to strike a deal.
	So we won't tell you guys about it.
	We won't blow the lid on the Pan Am thing if you guys stop this crap.
	That's what it's about.
	A lot of this is about...
	Okay, Rudolf Hess, you got this wrong.
	Let's stop before you go on too far.
	I was right.
	He was arrested and held in captivity for the rest of the war and then died in 1987.
	Who died?
	The guy who went to...
	Rudolf Hess.
	No, I'm sorry.
	You're right.
	I'm incorrect.
	You're thinking of somebody else.
	No, no.
	I'm thinking about the guy who went to do the...
	He was exiled to wherever.
	Where was he held captive?
	Tess was held life in prison at Spandau in Berlin.
	No, no, before that.
	He came over...
	He was tried in Nuremberg.
	He came over...
	He flew to Scotland in an attempt to negotiate peace with the United Kingdom.
	Instead, he was arrested and held in captivity for the rest of the war.
	Nobody ever got to talk to him.
	He never did a book or anything.
	So there was something screwy going on.
	But he wasn't killed.
	He was just put in a jail.
	You're right.
	The guy who was killed...
	Hold on a second.
	I'll tell you who it was.
	Was...
	Oh, here.
	Um...
	It was a British royal.
	See, Churchill wanted to go to war, and King George VI said to Hess, okay, I'll let you in, and you can come and negotiate.
	It was the Duke of Kent.
	That's right.
	The Duke of Kent wanted to fly to Sweden.
	To continue the secret peace negotiations, but the Duke's plane crashed two miles from where Hess was kept on the shores of Lockmore.
	So he was arrested, thrown into Lockmore first, and the Duke went over to go and pop him out or make the deal, and then the Duke's plane crashed, and then Churchill essentially entered full-out assault with the Allies.
	Well, there was some sort of a, you know, there was some screwy dealings between the Great Britain and Germany before the war, obviously, because of the, I forgot who it was that went over there.
	And then you had the Chamberlain incident.
	And so there was probably some information that was, I mean, the fact that they locked him up and threw away the key and wouldn't let anybody, like, you know.
	Shh, be quiet.
	Don't say anything.
	Ixnay on the unisee.
	That the guy from Libya is coming over with the documentation about what really happened with the Pan Am flight.
	Yes!
	Saying, hey, we're going to blow the lid off this thing and that Sarkozy jerk-off who we got in office, we're going to talk about that too.
	So something bad is going to happen to this character because he thinks he can get away with this.
	Yeah.
	No, something bad is going to happen to him.
	But I don't think it matters anymore because our media is so completely brainwashed.
	And now it will take us on a different path, my friend.
	We have had yet another case of the mysterious, crazy talking stuff from our television hosts.
	And I believe that this is part of an MKUltra program.
	And this has now happened to yet a new person.
	What I would like to remind us first of is what has been happening.
	Three reporters in a row, on air, all of a sudden, start speaking like idiots.
	Let us recap.
	The first one.
	What?
	Remember that woman?
	That was the first one.
	She just goes nuts.
	Don't try to deconstruct what she says.
	She just goes, I gotta get that South Carolina clip.
	I think that's the one.
	That's the one.
	No, no, the South Carolina, the girl who won Miss South Carolina.
	Oh, okay.
	The beauty queen.
	So this was the first reporter.
	Now we have the second reporter at the award show.
	Very first time, Serene.
	Well, a very, very heavy vertation tonight.
	We had a very Darrison fight.
	Let's go to Terry's English for the bit.
	They had the pet.
	Right.
	So that was awesome.
	What?
	Remember her?
	That was Serena.
	Why are these people just talking double talk?
	It sounds like something from a comedy act.
	So for her, they say, oh no, this is a medical incident.
	And of course, she went to the emergency room, came out an hour later.
	So, inconclusive.
	She had a stroke on the air?
	You're not allowed to make fun of this, by the way, because, oh, there was a medical condition, man.
	No, no, no.
	It's not, and I think I have proof.
	And then, of course, we have our guy from Toronto.
	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...
	By the way, most Canadians kind of talk like this, anyway.
	...assist the 600 deployed over the...
	Announce needed.
	Now, it did depend on how the NOLAN emerges RN while the university or the UN mission has whole received support from all batteries in the hues of the Garbans of today.
	Excuse me.
	I'll hand it back to you.
	You better hand it back.
	Okay.
	And we laugh about this on the last show.
	You didn't sit there and edit this to make the guy sound like an idiot.
	That's the way it actually came over the air.
	Where did you get these clips?
	From the interwebs.
	This is the beauty of it.
	So, it's video.
	It's not audio.
	It's video.
	You can see it.
	It's unedited.
	Now, immediately, I get some of our good people from up north.
	I was just kidding about Canadians, by the way.
	I love you guys.
	You've got a much better gig going than we do.
	I'm jealous.
	I'm just jealous.
	Okay?
	I'm jealous.
	Immediately I get, that's not funny, man!
	I can't believe it's a new low point!
	New low!
	Low!
	You're so low!
	Making fun of a medical condition!
	Well, first of all, nowhere has there been any official release saying this was a medical issue the guy had.
	It's just people have been, they came up with this new phrase like...
	New low point.
	Yeah, like a new...
	How can you identify a new low point on this show?
	Yeah, thank you.
	It's not possible.
	But now, now!
	Just in, John!
	An incoherent Judge Judy told shocked audience members she needed to stop one of her made-for-TV cases before because she was not feeling well.
	Judge Scheindlin, that's Judge Judy's real name, was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital Wednesday morning after she suddenly started saying things that didn't make sense, a studio insider revealed.
	She was just sitting on the stand during her show taping, and she started saying things that didn't make sense, a source close to the situation said.
	So we don't have the audio, unfortunately, but she probably was doing the same thing.
	So I'm doing some research.
	Where is this coming from?
	I'm already thinking to myself, shouldn't this be in the second half of the show?
	No, because we have to explain why none of the information is going to make it into the media because everyone is mind-controlled.
	This actually, this phenomenon occurs, government papers I'm reading from right here, linked in the show notes, noagendashow.com or seanhannity.com.
	The phenomenon occurs...
	Here it is.
	When people are illuminated with properly modulated low-power microwaves, the sensation is reported as a buzzing, clicking, or hissing which seems to originate within or just behind the head.
	The phenomenon occurs at an average power density as low as microwatts per square centimeter with carrier frequencies from 0.4 to 3.0 gigahertz.
	By proper choice of pulse characteristics, intelligible speech may be created.
	Before this technique may be extended and used for military applications, an understanding of the basic principles must be developed.
	This is an old paper, of course.
	So, it's one of two things.
	Either...
	These reporters are in somehow the microwave that is shooting up the signal to the satellite back to the studio is beaming into their brain, which I think is possible.
	It's very possible.
	Or they're just all NK-Ultrad controlled, which is the one I prefer.
	Well, let's take a look at a couple of things here, especially considering the fact that you've been criticized for bringing up that other woman last show, which is...
	Guy, the guy.
	This is not a phenomenon that has been reported over time a lot.
	No.
	No, it's...
	So we have a bunch of incidents all at once.
	Now, that, of course, also is a reflection of the random number theory, which means that if something's going to happen, it's going to happen a lot and it's never going to happen again.
	I do not do that.
	I do not do that.
	Now, I can imagine you could have a, you know, Wi-Fi might be able to cause this problem.
	Could be, Wi-Fi, could be.
	And, you know, with some of these can antennas, the Wi-Fi that is actually targeted could be targeted at somebody.
	Somebody bumped one of these antennas and it goes right in the back of somebody's head.
	Next thing you know, they're babbling.
	It's a possibility.
	Yeah.
	And until I see it happen with Bob Gregory or one of these guys on a real show.
	Why does it happen to Obama while he's reading the teleprompter?
	That would be the end.
	That would be so awesome.
	That would be so fantastic.
	So, again, it could be some experiment going on with lower-level people, and then, you know, it might be just a bunch of guys in the back just laughing it up because they know they can do this.
	I mean, who knows?
	I think we need to experiment with this regardless.
	This only came in this morning, so I haven't had time to do all the research, and this is just from a Freedom of Information request from NASA, the Brooks Air Force Base.
	From NASA? Yes.
	No, it was requested from NASA. Oh, NASA had the data.
	Yeah.
	Brooks Air Force Base.
	This is from January 25, 2000.
	How would anybody know to ask for this?
	I have my people.
	No, I mean, you didn't do the Freedom of Information Act.
	No, no, of course not.
	What I'm saying is, why was the Freedom of Information Act filed in the first place?
	Unless you do something.
	Because people outside of the mainstream actually care about what's going on.
	This is requested by C. Margot Cherney, who is one of those people.
	One of my people.
	C. Margot Cherney from educate-yourself.org.
	Need I say more?
	EducateYourself.org is actually a good site.
	They have a lot of...
	Neckball stuff.
	No, it's well-researched.
	They've got papers.
	I've got papers.
	So reported symptoms, microwave hearing, transmission of specific commands into the subconscious, visual disturbances, visual hallucinations, inject words, numbers into brain via electromagnetic radiation waves, control of sleep patterns, seeing through your eyes.
	Wow, okay, that's out there.
	And then there's tons of published documents from the NASA Air Force.
	Microwave weapons study.
	I'm just saying.
	Well, you definitely found the clips and you got some background on it.
	It's very unusual.
	I'll give you 10 points for coming up with something off the wall.
	Totally weird.
	We don't know why.
	I mean, if you want to go with your MKUltra thing, which I'm not going to buy into, because, I mean, why are you doing it with these low-level people?
	I think that there's some experimentation going on, possibly, with this technique.
	Well, okay, so there's two reasons for doing it with these low-level people.
	One, to see if it works while someone is on the air at a public, you know, it would be perfect to use this to embarrass someone publicly for once and for all, right?
	Oh, yeah, no, if you get a president, okay, maybe this is a lead-in to the presidential debates for 2012.
	Oh, wow.
	That would be great.
	Wouldn't it?
	Yeah, of course.
	And there's a secondary reason.
	It's funny.
	Come on, man.
	No, it's funny.
	Those guys just go like, watch this, watch this, watch this.
	Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	Yeah, there would be a tendency to abuse it, so we'll see more of this, so you're going to track this in the weeks ahead.
	Yeah, I think we will see more of this worldwide, and this is low-level people now, but who knows?
	Who knows?
	Maybe it's being used all the time on Wolf Blitzer.
	I mean, come on, Anderson Cooper.
	It's possible.
	So let me go into a couple of things that I ran into, and this relates back to both Al Jazeera and Qatar, and a clip that I'm still fascinated with, which I'm going to ask you to play again.
	I sent you a note about it, because I think we need to revisit this clip, which was the Wesley Clark clip.
	Mm-hmm.
	You want me to play it now?
	Yeah, just play it and do the setup again because this was what, 2004?
	When was this?
	2007, before we were doing the show at a Democracy Now!
	conference.
	There's actually a second clip that goes along with that where he talks about a total takeover by PNAC. The project for a new American century.
	We don't need that.
	And then he goes in and he says, this is what happened on September 20th while he was in the Pentagon, not even two weeks after the attack on New York on 9-11.
	About ten days after 9-11, I went through the Pentagon, and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz.
	I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in.
	He said, sir, you've got to come in and talk to me a second.
	I said, well, you're too busy.
	He said, no, no.
	He says, we've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq.
	This was on or about the 20th of September.
	I said, we're going to war with Iraq.
	Why?
	He said, I don't know.
	He said, I guess they don't know what else to do.
	So I said, well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to Al-Qaeda?
	He said, no, no.
	He says, there's nothing new that way.
	They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.
	He said, I guess it's like, we don't know what to do about terrorists, but...
	We've got a good military and we can take down governments.
	And he said, I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.
	So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan.
	I said, are we still going to war with Iraq?
	And he said, oh, it's worse than that.
	He said, he reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper, and he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meeting the Secretary of Defense's office today, and he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
	Had there been no oil there, it would be like Africa.
	Nobody is threatening to intervene in Africa.
	The problem is the opposite.
	We keep asking for people to intervene and stop it.
	And there's no question that the presence of petroleum throughout the region has sparked great power involvement.
	Whether that was the specific motivation for the coup or not, I can't tell you.
	But there's always been this attitude that somehow we could intervene and use force in the region.
	There you go.
	I set it up for you and the chat room was like, they're running out of content!
	They're playing clips from the last show!
	They got nothing!
	Eric just sent me a note.
	I just said that we played this from the last show.
	Is anyone even listening to the show?
	It's co-intel pro in the chat room, John.
	That's what it is.
	Anyway, the reason I wanted that replay so it could bring it into the clips I want to play, which relate in an odd way to this.
	We already talked about Qatar.
	We already talked about MI6. We talked about Al Jazeera.
	So, one of the top reporters from Al Jazeera, whose name is unpronounceable, was talking to the Council on Foreign Relations.
	Okay.
	And he is, and I got three clips from this guy, and this first clip triggered this whole thought, and the reason I wanted to replay the other clip so it could remind people.
	But Play the Egypt is next clip, for starters.
	And this is, again, in front of the Council of Foreign Relations.
	This guy's a reporter discussing what's all going on and his take on some of it.
	Well, when I was standing in the village of Sidi Bouzid, where this man had set himself on fire, every single person I spoke to said, Tunis was just the beginning.
	And, you know, I was very, at the time, very surprised that they were saying this, because they had a great sense of pride in that they had begun this revolution in Tunisia.
	But everyone that I was speaking to was saying, when they found out that I was based in Egypt, would say to me, Egypt is next, Egypt is next.
	And I would kind of be somewhat, you know, suspicious of it.
	Squirrel!
	Okay.
	Okay, so that was weird.
	Yeah, he thought it was weird.
	This is an Egyptian and he thought it was weird.
	So play part two of this clip and then I'm going to break it down a little bit into what's interesting to me about it.
	The calls for the protest to happen on January 25th had already begun shortly after I had arrived in Egypt.
	And I'm going to make a confession here, which is that one of my friends at Al Jazeera messaged me saying, you know, are you going to go back for the protests on January 25th?
	And I dismissed them saying, like, oh, don't worry, they're not going to be anything big.
	I can promise you that.
	You know, it's just...
	So you're not a soothsayer.
	No, no, definitely not.
	But I will admit this, that as soon as January the 25th happened, I was on the first flight out from Tunis on the 26th in the morning.
	I hopped on a flight straight from Tunisia to Turkey into Cairo because I knew that the 25th had changed the rules of the game.
	Hmm.
	Okay, now here's what my thinking is, because I heard this the first time.
	This is kind of interesting, this Egypt is next thing, which falls into line with what Wesley Clark had uncovered.
	And here's what I'm thinking here.
	Here's a guy who's an Egyptian...
	Works it for Al Jazeera.
	He's totally plugged in.
	He thinks when he gets texted, he's going to come to their little demonstration.
	He, as an Egyptian on the street, who happens to be floating around all of the Middle East, says, nothing's going to happen here.
	This is bogus.
	There's no reason for this to be anything.
	Nothing to see here.
	So he obviously had a sense of the reality, which was there was nothing going on, and there wouldn't be anything going on, so he just passed it off.
	And then when all of a sudden all hell breaks loose, he's on top of it at that point, but...
	Now it seems like the whole thing was rigged.
	I mean, he never brings that up, but just by his own reaction to what people were asking him or telling him, he just thought the thing was kind of fishy.
	And I think that this relates to that Wesley Clark thing.
	So this is underway, this entire strategy, and of course Al Jazeera's part of it, even though he doesn't even know that, but he's part of Qatar.
	I mean, that's where the operation is based.
	And this is just continuing.
	There's a part three of this that you can play in.
	It just brings up a few more details.
	And they had already begun calling for that, Friday the 28th being the day of anger or day of rage.
	And so we knew that that was going to be a monumental showdown.
	Your editors don't have some email that says, ah, the 25th, it's not going to be anything significant.
	No, we actually, I mean, to their credit, we did have people on the ground.
	It's just that when my friends were messaging me saying, you know, what do you think is going to happen on January the 25th?
	Shouldn't you be back in Egypt for it?
	I was very much like, no, Tunisia is still the big story.
	It's the revolution.
	We're still trying to cover this.
	And lo and behold, I was wrong.
	Okay, so now it's January 26th and you're in Egypt.
	Where did you go?
	No, you can kill it there.
	It actually falls apart.
	You know, it was interesting.
	Another part of C-SPAN that I watched was the Congressional Television and Radio Correspondents' Dinner.
	This is kind of a self-congratulatory thing and I thought I could pull some clips from it but I couldn't really.
	I've never been able to get clips from those things.
	No.
	But the whole thing essentially is them saying these revolutions are because of Facebook Twitter and the media.
	And I'm like, yeah, you're not lying.
	But they actually believe that they are helping people start revolution.
	And yeah, but you're not helping the people start the revolution.
	You're helping your handlers who are almost invisible to you starting the revolution.
	But the thing that irked me is, you know, because there's lots of people standing up and then they point out people.
	Every single time they even mention, whether it's a reporter or even the word Al Jazeera, Everyone goes, oh yes!
	Al Jazeera!
	Woo!
	Woo!
	It's like, wow.
	It's like Al Jazeera is the pinnacle.
	If only we could all work at Al Jazeera.
	You know, Al Jazeera, when it began, was just seen as an anti-Israeli news organization that was busting the U.S. chops in Iraq, mainly, and Afghanistan to a lesser extent, with a lot of reporting behind the scenes, reporting that American news media couldn't get because most of them were white.
	And they kind of stood out in a crowd and they would get shot at.
	And Al Jazeera was covering a lot of this stuff and most of it kind of anti-American.
	I would call Al Jazeera when it began as an anti-American vehicle.
	And what happened to change that and when it changed, I don't absolutely know, but it obviously changed.
	And it's like nobody's mentioning the origins of this operation.
	No.
	No, but the whole...
	What's the problem with the news...
	And you don't have to watch it anymore, by the way.
	You just don't.
	You don't have to watch it.
	They're all microwaved in the submission.
	The problem with the news is they are so horny.
	They're so horny to be in a war situation reporting.
	You know, it's a dichotomy to me to see this CNN senior correspondent, Nick the British douchebag, who's always there in...
	He's right near Tripoli.
	He's in Tripoli.
	It's like, for all these horrible things, and for Gaddafi, who's slaughtering and murdering and has to meet Hitler and Stalin, but he just lets the press sit there, like, oh, wait for the bus, boys, we'll tell you when you can come on out.
	It's like, it's bullcrap.
	The whole thing, it's, wag the dog.
	Please watch Wag the Dog.
	If you were just watching theater, Complete theater.
	Yeah, it's total theater.
	And I got some Hillary clips here, which kind of...
	Please.
	Go along the...
	Please.
	My blood pressure isn't high enough.
	Yeah, so maybe I can see if I'm going to pop a vein.
	I will.
	Which one?
	I'll be babbling in a minute.
	Let's start with, for one thing, let's play Hillary 1, which is a...
	Hillary was at this London council on Libya.
	Yes.
	And she came out at the end and gave her question and answer session.
	She started off with a little speech.
	I actually want to play something that's kind of funny.
	You can play it and stop it when you feel like it.
	Skip Hillary.
	I want to go to the Hillary book report.
	Actually, when she begins her speech, I swear to God, it sounds like a high school book report.
	That is so lame.
	It's like, how does anybody...
	Whose idea is this to give a little report on what you did today?
	Yeah, I know.
	And then I really liked what happened.
	You did a very full day of business.
	I was really, really busy.
	First, I had my hair done.
	And then I got this really nice brooch.
	Did you see all the brooch?
	This New World Order all-seeing eye brooch?
	Did you see that, John?
	The brooch she was wearing?
	Yeah, she had some weird broach on it.
	Oh, yeah.
	It was to receive the microwave better.
	Covering an array of issues with a broad range of counterparts.
	I began the day with a meeting with Dr.
	Jabril.
	Dr.
	Jabril, who is, of course, studying Philly.
	He's been in Philly.
	All right?
	This is the leadership.
	Did you know that...
	Well, they also mentioned that...
	Listen to this little group that they put together out of the blue, like the bankers.
	Well, before we go on, did you know that the other guy...
	I just got to find his name real quick.
	The other guy who was part of the new...
	What do they call it?
	The transitional government, whatever.
	Yeah, that's what she...
	See, she gives the name of this operation next.
	Yeah, the other guy was living in Virginia for 20 years.
	Oh, Virginia.
	Okay.
	Spook Central.
	Really?
	What was he doing?
	He had no job.
	He was just kind of living there and living large.
	And two other representatives of the Libyan Transitional National Council.
	The Libyan Transitional National Council.
	If it has a really long name, it must be official.
	They have a website.
	To hear their perspective on the situation in Libya.
	We talked about our efforts to protect civilians and to meet humanitarian needs and about the ongoing coalition military action in support of Resolution 1973.
	We also discussed the need for a political solution and transition in Libya.
	And I reiterated the support of the United States on behalf of President Obama for the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people and our commitment to helping them achieve those aspirations.
	Wow.
	And then we went out for dinner and we had Chinese food and it was really good.
	You can stop it, Derek.
	You can stop it, Derek.
	Who cares?
	Yeah.
	No, but she has to justify her existence.
	She goes on the long...
	Yeah, exactly.
	She goes on a long book report.
	This is like working for the government where you have to fill out a log of what you did.
	So she's got this huge report.
	She's done it.
	Okay, now she has to take questions and answers.
	So we'll start with the first one, which is a softball.
	I think this is from a Reuters guy.
	This is Cliff Hillary.
	Who she all mentions again by their first name, of course.
	Oh, yeah.
	Madam Secretary, in your meeting today with Dr.
	Jabril, I was wondering, were you able to make any concrete offers of assistance to them, either through turning over the $33 billion in Libyan funds that have been frozen in the United States, or in discussing possible arms transfers?
	Hey, hey, Ixnay on the 33 Ilion Bay.
	David has told the Senate today that intelligence shows flickers, use the word flickers, of al-Qaeda.
	Which, by the way, is very funny because in Dutch and I think German, flickers is gays.
	Just saying, flickers, flickers.
	Hey, a bunch of flickers over there.
	In the Libyan opposition, how great a concern is that?
	And is that part of the U.S. debate over any potential arms transfers to the Transitional Council?
	Well, Andy, first of all, we have not made any decision about arming the rebels or providing any arms transfers, so there has not been any need to discuss that at this point.
	We did discuss non-lethal assistance.
	We discussed ways of trying to enable the...
	Transition National Council to meet a lot of their financial needs and how we could do that through the international community.
	With some of that 33 bill we got laying around.
	Yeah, she goes on about that.
	So let's skip to the next clip, which is Hillary 2, because now we have a guy from the Daily Telegraph, which is a British paper, and instead of Madam Secretary, he doesn't give her any respect and just goes on and asks a very interesting question, which I was surprised she didn't...
	She actually answered because it's interesting because one day later Obama gives a speech and then one day later after that they are going to arm Libya.
	Let me ask you a question, John.
	Have you seen any of this on television in the United States here?
	No.
	Is that...
	I mean, Anderson Cooper...
	I expect to see this on television.
	Wasn't Anderson Cooper keeping him honest and showing this?
	Yeah, he's keeping him honest.
	He's making sure that the Kardashians, you know, they get their butt size is accurate.
	Hey!
	Hey!
	Don't touch Kim K's boot, hey!
	Two things.
	First of all, is it your understanding that the UN Resolution 1973 makes it illegal to supply arms to the Libyan rebels?
	Let me answer that question.
	There's no mention of it whatsoever.
	It's not even in there at all.
	Or do you think that there could be some room for maneuver of that should it get to that?
	And secondly, it's quite striking when the rebels were talking earlier today, none of their names are public apart from three or four of the 30-odd of them, and they clearly have access, they have quite a lot of power and access to a lot of funds through oil money.
	Do you think that they should be more transparent in terms of declaring who they are, where they're from, what kind of groupings they come from, and how they're using the money?
	Well, as to the first question, it is our interpretation that 1973...
	I love the use of our interpretation.
	Right?
	Our interpretation.
	What's interesting is that she actually says that there is...
	Well, you hear it.
	It's very unique, the way she handles it.
	Amended or overrode the absolute prohibition of arms to anyone in Libya so that there could be legitimate transfer of arms if a country were to choose to do that.
	Okay, now she's lying, because there's explicit verbiage in both 1970 and 1973 that says no country, no country may transport arms into Libya.
	No country.
	It's expressly in there, and the only thing is at the very end, as we discussed two weeks ago now, is that the terms of service may change at any time.
	That's the only thing that's different.
	A classic.
	Yes.
	As I said, we have not made that decision at this time.
	Secondly, I do think that greater transparency will, of course, be expected and will be delivered.
	But I think you have to put this into context.
	I mean, this is a very fast, evolving, but by no means settled structure that they are trying to build.
	They also claim to have a number of people who are willing to work with them from central and western Libya, who, for security reasons, cannot yet be named.
	So I do think that this is...
	Securite!
	What?
	Securite reason!
	I can't name them!
	They don't know who they are.
	This whole thing is bullcrap.
	Securite!
	This war is just bogus.
	Alright, I have to get off of this now, because it's boring now.
	It's boring.
	Before getting off of it, you do have to get the Arming the Rebels final clip, which has got nothing to do with Hillary, but this is the report that just came out yesterday.
	We're going to arm them.
	Yes, but we're going to arm them with, like, billy clubs, right?
	Nothing...
	No, we're going to arm them.
	Duh.
	Hold on a second, I'm missing it there.
	Okay, here we go.
	So far, as reported by Reuters, is that one of the options the president is considering is sending arms through the Saudis and the gutteries.
	That seems like a somewhat circuitous way of accomplishing the same goal.
	But, you know, whether he goes forward with this without congressional approval, I think it's going to be one of the biggest decisions of the Obama presidency.
	So to be clear, though, so that we understand as best as we can based on what the reporting is right now...
	Because the microwave is in my head.
	...what has just happened.
	If he has issued a presidential finding, that is an authorization of covert...
	Is this that cow?
	Is this Rachel?
	As you describe it, something that's designed to influence action, not just get information.
	And it could also be a way that the president was trying to at least lay the groundwork for starting to provide arms to the rebels.
	But we don't know what the finding is, and so we don't know exactly what it is authorizing.
	We don't know precisely what it is.
	It's by its nature classified, so we won't see this for decades, if at all.
	If at all!
	Look, publicly I talked to White House officials tonight, and they'd say, look, this is something arming the Libyan rebels is something the president is certainly seriously considering.
	And what's more, he realizes, they realize, that they've got to make a decision on this soon, given the events on the ground and how fast it's moving.
	Massacre!
	That the Libyan rebels have faced over the last couple of days.
	It may be too late if this drags on for weeks or months.
	So I think we're approaching decision time, and it's a pretty big decision.
	Let me emphasize that we anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks.
	Just days.
	Just days, everybody.
	Just days.
	Okay, John.
	They're going to arm the rebels.
	You want to hear my scenario before we finish?
	What my prediction is?
	What the fractal looks like and how it's going to work out?
	Yeah, go for it.
	Because we're changing it to NATO and we're not going to put any boots on the ground except for humanitarian reasons.
	Yeah.
	There is going to be some sort of a bogus red flag terrorist attack from Qaddafi.
	It's going to thus give us the absolute, you know, we've been attacked.
	Yeah, false flag, not red flag, false flag.
	I'm sorry, red flag, false flag.
	We do the show on the fly.
	It's a false fly.
	Some sort of an event will take place, which will be a direct attack, an assault on the USA, and thus we have to send troops.
	And there goes war number three.
	We're in it.
	Okay.
	And I will predict that this has to happen today or tomorrow, if only for the reason, because remember, I promised I'd stay on top of this, the Federal Reserve today is going to release the information about all the banks they secretly gave the money to.
	They're going to release the whole list.
	The Supreme Court ordered them to.
	A reporter at Bloomberg died over this.
	The guy who really filed the first lawsuit.
	Remember, he died, unfortunately, at a very young age.
	Whoops!
	How'd that happen?
	I think it was a total two to the head instance for him.
	So today they have to announce that.
	I think that they'll come out with the news.
	Of course it's going to be very, very quiet that they release this, but it is today.
	I think it was supposed to be Monday, but somehow they delayed it to today.
	That has to be covered up.
	So they might as well get two birds with one stone.
	Huge false flag.
	It can be anything.
	Just be on the lookout for it.
	John, I totally agree.
	I totally agree that's how it's going to go.
	And it's sad.
	Then we'll have boots on the ground.
	Boots on the ground.
	All these apologies.
	Well, we had to do it.
	We're under attack.
	This is for the national security and the rest of it.
	Meanwhile, it's no...
	The Homeland Security, I hire more people.
	Oh, yeah.
	We'll be working for them eventually.
	Oh, yeah.
	Who says I'm not?
	The Homeland Security Show with John and Adam.
	Hey, everybody!
	Hey, John, I'm Adam.
	How are you feeling?
	Do you feel safe, John?
	I feel really safe.
	How are you feeling, Johnny boy?
	Let's hear from our director, Lucy Napolitano.
	Oh, okay.
	I have something from our director, Lucy Napolitano.
	Hi, I'm Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
	Hi, I'm Mark Emmert, President of the NCAA. Homeland Security is a team effort, and it starts with individuals and communities around our country.
	That's why the NCAA is partnering with DHS to help keep our communities safe.
	If you see something suspicious on your way into the arena or at the game, say something to local authorities to make it right.
	We all have a role to play.
	Report suspicious activity to local law enforcement.
	Thank you for doing your part to help keep our communities safe.
	And enjoy the game.
	That'll be our whole show.
	Yeah, and we'll be making three times as much money.
	Millions, I tell you.
	All right.
	Now, I just want to remind everybody that what John and I do for this show is essentially...
	It's what any journalist could do, and until the microwaves are directed at the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center, we'll continue to actually do the work of journalists, which is just collect information.
	Now, a lot of what I get comes through the NoAgendaNewsNetwork.com site, and a big corner turn coming on that with the new software.
	We can open it up to all the producers.
	You're going to love it when you see this thing.
	I'm telling you.
	Because what happens is a lot of this stuff does get reported, or it's in press releases, mainly press releases.
	And once the information flows through it, It kind of comes through the system.
	We pick it up.
	And all we're doing is just playing it back and trying to fit it into a couple hours twice a week.
	But it's a lot of work.
	As you can tell from the complaining we've done, a lot of C-SPAN watching takes place.
	And the only way we can do all this and speak as openly and frankly is by not taking advertising dollars, by not having any outside influence.
	So it works on a very simple premise.
	You support the show with your giving levels.
	Now, a lot of people are confused that our national treasure, NPR, has the same motive.
	Unfortunately, there's a big discussion going on now about how much the government is funding them, which is not very much, actually, because most of the money comes from...
	What does it come from, John?
	Advertising.
	Or whatever you want to call it.
	So, there's a show on NPR called The Planet Money.
	And I'm so happy they actually just admitted it.
	There's a wrinkle here when you're considering federal funding for NPR. If NPR deserves federal funding because it's this weird public good that will be underprovided without government assistance, what about other radio stations?
	Or other podcasts?
	They are also public goods.
	They're just like NPR. They're non-rivalrous.
	That's right.
	Are we rivalrous, John?
	No.
	They're non-excludable.
	Are we excludable?
	No.
	So what about Kiss 100?
	Or even television, broadcast television?
	How about American Idol?
	Did The Bachelor get federal money?
	And no one seems to argue that we need public funding for those things.
	And why is that?
	Now listen very, very closely, and you'll hear the difference between our product, which is bringing you actual, and as far as we know, factual information, versus you, the listener, being the product.
	Listen carefully.
	Well, follow me, friends, through the looking glass.
	It turns out there is another way to view broadcast media and public radio where none of it looks like a public good at all.
	Alright, so listeners, are you ready to have your minds blown?
	He sounds like Kyle from South Park, doesn't he?
	Listeners, get ready to have your minds blown.
	I'm going to blow your mind.
	I'm going to blow your mind.
	Listen to this.
	You're not going to believe what you're going to hear.
	Think about it this way.
	So normally you think, for a radio broadcast, the listener, you're the consumer, and the product is the radio programming that you're listening to.
	But which the radio producer has no way of charging you for.
	But now, think about it differently.
	Think about you as the product and the advertisers as the customers.
	The people who run a radio station can sell your ears to the advertisers and most commercial radio and television.
	Think about it that way.
	The product is the audience and they are selling that audience.
	What?
	That's a fact.
	That is the way all commercial publishing companies and broadcasters think about the mechanism.
	The audience is the product, and the product is being sold to the advertisers.
	And that's, by the way, before you go on with that clip, that's why PBS is so left-leaning.
	People are always moaning and groaning about it.
	But in any specialty operation, in fact, we actually do have a product.
	We don't sell it to anybody, though.
	That's the difference between what we do.
	But the fact of the matter is, let me just give an example.
	When we were at PC Magazine, and this was explained to me by Bill Ziff himself.
	This was one of the reasons that PC Magazine, when it was in its heyday, would never publish anything for beginners.
	You guys should have a beginner section in there so you can explain how computer technology works to people who don't know.
	We didn't want beginners reading the magazine.
	We had an audience that was so well-defined.
	And so specific.
	They were high-end.
	They were purchasers.
	They were the tech guys at a corporation.
	They were very easy to pinpoint.
	You could put them in a room.
	And they'd all get along with each other.
	You didn't want a bunch of amateurs and crazy people that were off on the deep end on supercomputing or whatever.
	And you could take this group and they were so concise and specific.
	You could take it to an advertiser like Dell or somebody like that and say, look, here are the people that buy your product.
	We put them all together.
	We got a million of them.
	Give us some money and you can talk to them.
	And that's the way all media works.
	And that's what happens.
	You end up essentially working for the advertiser, creating this little crowd of people for them, not for the benefit of them, but for them, for the advertiser, not for the benefit of the reader, I'm saying, or the listener in the case of what we do.
	You're creating it all for the purpose of all, and if you want to listen to any podcast that have advertising, you're going to always find that they're kind of trying to take you, the listener, and make you a product that they're selling.
	You're basically being used.
	You are being whored like a long-legged Mac Daddy pimping your ass!
	But of course that doesn't...
	In other words, yes.
	But that doesn't happen with NPR, our national treasure, does it, John?
	No, no, no, no, no, no, because we're independent.
	We don't sell you as a product.
	Let's listen to them what they say themselves about it.
	And most commercial radio and television, think about it that way.
	The product is the audience, and they are selling that audience to the advertisers.
	If you're trying to fund a radio show, a TV show, through advertising, you've effectively turned it from a public good into a private good.
	But the customers are not the people who are viewers.
	The customers are the people who are actually paying for it, who are the advertisers.
	And advertising is rivalrous.
	One advertising slot uses uptime that then can't go to another advertiser.
	And it's excludable.
	If the advertiser doesn't pay, you don't run that advertiser's message.
	So for a long time, the solution to that particular public good problem was, I'm not sure it's a public good from the point of view of the viewers, but But from the point of view of the advertisers, it's a private good and we can provide it in a private market and no problem.
	That's so confusing because now you take public radio, you think about it one way, it feels very natural.
	It qualifies as a public good.
	You think about it another way, all of a sudden it's not a public good.
	All of a sudden the product is the audience and you're selling that to advertisers.
	Which we do.
	We call them underwriters.
	They're not advertisers exactly, but they have a lot of the same characteristics.
	I predict Planet Money will be off the air soon.
	These guys are out.
	Just hear that one more time.
	The product is the audience, and you're selling that to advertisers.
	Which we do.
	We call them underwriters.
	We call them underwriters.
	Well, the great scam of public radio, or NPR, not public radio in general, because there are some public radio.
	I mean, it's a different animal in different ways.
	But of NPR is that they can do the real gimmick, which I think is genius, and why they get so much money.
	And then they can sucker the...
	Let's look at this overall.
	These guys are smarter than the average bear.
	First of all...
	They can sell the audience to these underwriter quote advertisers, whatever you want to call them.
	They can sell them without having numbers.
	They don't have to say, well, we got our Nielsen's just came in.
	That is not true.
	That is patently not true.
	Absolutely not true.
	The NPR Foundation sells through commercial media brokers.
	I know them.
	It's Media America in New York City.
	They sell based upon numbers and inventory.
	Not true.
	It's completely commercial.
	I disagree.
	I mean, I'm not saying they don't do that when they have numbers.
	But most shows don't have numbers.
	Oh, you don't think that they don't say, here's our podcast downloads?
	Oh, please.
	Oh, please.
	Oh, the...
	Well, I happen to have been in the public radio sector for a while.
	I happen to have been in the radio selling side.
	The same people who sold my Pepsi's Top 30 hit list were selling NPR. Okay, I'm at the local level too, which is different.
	You're a local guy.
	I think big.
	So, what the point is, is that they got a scam going with the advertising, A. B, then they get government money for some unknown reason, and by the way, that only accounts for one-fifth of their budget, they said so in that same show.
	Ten percent, ten percent, ten percent.
	No, they said one, yeah, that's twenty percent.
	To one-fifth of the budget would be 20%.
	The woman who got fired, Schiller, I mean, resigned, said it was 10%, but irrelevant, whatever.
	10 to 20, whatever the case is, it's a spit in the bucket.
	They can just crank up the advertising.
	And then the third, the scam that's the scam of scams is that we got advertising, we got government subsidies, and now we want your money.
	Yeah.
	So they've got three sources of income, whereas a normal broadcast network has one.
	Yeah.
	And we have one.
	Yeah, one.
	Yeah.
	What'd you complain about?
	Where's our government money?
	We're doing public service more than those guys are.
	What?
	Say what?
	Where's our government money?
	You ain't getting no government money.
	Just take your next time.
	Just take your next place.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to no agenda.
	Squirrel!
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda.
	Squirrel!
	In the morning.
	That was awesome.
	What?
	We have some donors.
	Oh, good.
	And we're going to rattle off their names.
	And by the way, I could not find MediaSplash.
	Send me another note because I looked it up in different ways.
	I don't have it either.
	And Eric sends me at like 10 minutes to 9, oh, look up email MediaSplash.
	It's not helpful.
	It's not helpful.
	I'm sorry.
	It's not helpful.
	Sorry.
	I have Andrew's story.
	It's just not helpful.
	Well, there's a box to fill out in PayPal or mail a check-in and attach a letter.
	But once you separate the message from the donation, I get 400 emails a day.
	Yeah.
	You know, it's a mess.
	I mean, it's like, yeah, you listen to Adam.
	Oh, you're disorganized.
	No, no, no.
	I get the same amount of emails.
	It's Eric just pushing it off.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Well, Eric doesn't have the memo.
	What's he supposed to do?
	Well, how does he know about the memo?
	Because it says in the PayPal thing it had a mention of it.
	Then he needs to go in an email and say, hey, you've got to send me this now or it's not going on the show.
	Well, he doesn't get that until 8 in the morning, one hour before the show.
	It's a whole hour.
	It's a whole hour.
	Don't will you...
	Are you standing up for him?
	I'm just saying.
	I don't blame Eric like you're doing.
	I'm not blaming him.
	I'm saying it's not helpful.
	Well, it's not unhelpful because the other thing was in there.
	Anyway, Patrick McKernan of Nashville, New Hampshire gave us 3,333 Russian rubles.
	What?
	I was like, what?
	What?
	What?
	Do they still use the Uber?
	Well, yeah, of course.
	Which amounts to $117.85.
	Andrew Bump by Carrie, Illinois.
	We got a bunch of $111.11.
	And he's got a Karma Need, which we'll have to look up again.
	It's another one that's separated.
	Hold on.
	I got Andrew.
	Andrew's I have.
	Okay, good.
	Well, you want to read it?
	Yeah.
	It's way too long.
	But essentially, we met...
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	You.
	In my donation last time, I requested a double dose of the good stuff to clear my good name of douche status and get some karma for the job search that would be following the inevitable demise of the company I was working for at the time.
	On air, I received my dedouching, which I'm thankful for, but then proceeded to get Dvorak'd on my karma.
	John was apparently in a hurry, as right when it seemed you were gearing up to give me a dose of karma, he said you'd get back to it later.
	Well, we all know that wasn't going to happen at that point.
	You know, long-winded stuff.
	We have to cut these things down.
	We can't be here.
	This is not the XYZ show where we just can read and read and read and read and read.
	We've got to move it along.
	We've got to move it along.
	So anyway, he loses his job.
	Everything's going crap.
	It's horrible.
	But then good karma comes along.
	He gets a job.
	The karma came from a couple of things, he says.
	My one-way commute is 1.5 hours.
	One of the many exits I pass on the highway to and from work every day is the only exit that leads to work is exit 333.
	A month after starting the position, a very large and out-of-place highway advertisement went up about a mile before exit 333.
	The advertisement is for McDonald's new Filet-O-Fish value meal, priced in large lettering at $3.33.
	To top it off, my new job is process automation engineering for mixing high-fructose corn syrup into beverages.
	So there you go.
	So that's his karma story.
	It didn't come from us.
	It's kind of a negative karma story, it seems to me.
	So he's doing post-carmage.
	James Petzinger in San Jose, California, $111.11.
	Value for value, he says.
	He loves the show.
	Keith Edwards, Gilbert, Arizona, $111.11.
	Massimo Cantaneo, one of our regulars.
	Massimo.
	Cantaneo.
	Cantaneo?
	It's not Cantaneo?
	It's Massimo.
	Massimo, not Massimio.
	Massimo.
	Did I say Massimio?
	Something like that.
	No, Massimo Cantaneo.
	In Nusa...
	Australia, from Suzanne Tracy, actually.
	Noosa.
	Australia.
	Please give a birthday shout-out to my son, Thomas.
	Yeah, we got that.
	Turns 18 on April 14th.
	Yeah, we got it.
	We got it.
	We got it.
	Move on.
	He needs karma.
	Give him some karma.
	Birthday shout-out.
	It wasn't karma.
	It says right here, karma.
	Oh, well, there's the karma.
	You're going to argue with every one of these?
	We'll never get through these.
	Matthew McDonald, Calgary, Alberta, $111.11.
	Last show you guys missed the birthday shot in karma for my gorgeous fiancé, Erin Bergman.
	No, we didn't.
	No, we did not.
	No, we did not.
	We expressly did it.
	Do these people even listen to the show?
	Hey, if you're going to donate money and not listen, please don't.
	All right?
	Just don't.
	Let's finish.
	P... Snakes.
	Snakes.
	$111.11.
	He's also a knight, finally.
	Felix Schudel.
	$100.
	Davey Jones.
	Dave Jones.
	Famous for his lockers in Springville, Alabama.
	He's also in the chat room.
	spreading the love.
	He's R-D-A-N-E-E-L, if you want to harass him.
	50 double nickels on the dime.
	Tom is, by the way, it's his first donation.
	Thomas Nordang in North Glen, Colorado.
	Long-time listener, first-time donor.
	Please give me some karma for my job searches.
	I'm changing careers again.
	You've got karma.com.
	You know, everybody's dissatisfied with their work.
	Zoran Ivanovichy.
	In Lakewood, California, double nickels on dime.
	I noticed some generous donations from Japan on show 290 as a small part of me wonders if my mention of the Japanese ministry and transgendered hookers may have played a small part in that.
	Yes, and we appreciate it.
	It's like a very early episode of No Agenda where John admitted that a great way to make an impression is to tell a good hooker joke.
	Well, it worked and we appreciate it.
	Does that make a great impression?
	I don't know.
	It doesn't on most women.
	I've noticed that's not a big laugh in the office the other day.
	Not a good policy.
	Greg Brunsel, Kenosha, Wisconsin, $50.
	And Chris Gaghalin, Sir Chris.
	Chris Gielin.
	Gielin.
	Gielan.
	Promo jingle was an good Slav und Lusner Elkowik Nargien Agenda met Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak.
	Very good.
	That's his ringtone again.
	Paid, and Paul Alves, A-L-V-E-S, in Toronto, another $50.
	And they want to thank those donors and everybody who donated $33.33 and all the subscribers.
	And we'd like to encourage more people to subscribe, especially at the $11.11 level.
	But $5 is great.
	Good.
	And check your subscription once in a while because we get a lot of people just thrown out the subscription list by PayPal for no apparent reason.
	You know, one bad charge or who knows what.
	And so we lose like, you know, about one, between one and ten people a week.
	And that'll be that.
	I'm sick of this.
	I'm sick of it.
	Sick of what?
	Just in general.
	Negativity.
	What negativity?
	Never mind.
	We've got COINTELPRO in the chat room today.
	Oh, you've got the chat room going crazy.
	Just stay out of the chat room.
	All chat rooms deteriorate if they're not overly moderated like they should be, where people, when they say negative things, they should be just thrown out.
	I'm just sick of it when we're trying to do a job here.
	It is our job.
	John, do you have any other job?
	Do you have a job?
	I mean, the Twit is not a job.
	Your columns, is that a job?
	I guess it is.
	But you've got like five kids and three wives.
	Only down to two wives.
	Anyway, if you want to support the show, and if you want to enhance karma for all peoples of all Gitmo nations, we need you to remember one thing.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. And there's a couple other places where you can get there.
	Dvorak.org slash NA should be inaccessible due to excessive Gitmo nation interwebs filtering.
	John?
	What did you just say?
	Channeldvorak.com slash...
	I have the Channeldvorak, Governor Nava.
	Channeldvorak.com slash NA. NoagendaNation.com slash donate slash NA. Either one.
	Yeah, exactly.
	All right.
	Let's take a look at our list here today.
	Massimo Catanio says happy birthday to his son Thomas, turns 18 on April 4th.
	Matthew McDonald on the list again, a great administration.
	Yes, we did say happy birthday to your fiancé Erin Bergwin, but happy to do again, no problem, on March 24th.
	And Eric DeShill wishes his son Evan a very happy fifth birthday.
	Happy birthday from your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	And I'm very happy to announce that we have a couple of knighthoods to do here, John.
	Can I have your blade?
	Yeah, here it comes.
	Yeah, very good.
	Gary Lehner and Bay Snakus, please step forward.
	Both of you have spent considerable time and effort...
	In achieving the appropriate giving level of $1,000 to become Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	This includes your ring, which is forthcoming very soon.
	They have been ordered.
	So Gary Lader and Pace Snakes, I hereby knight the Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Please, step over here and enjoy your hookers and blow!
	Or your rent boys in Cabernet, depending on your preference.
	And thank you so much for that support.
	That is really...
	I love seeing that where over time people do this.
	They've just been saving up.
	They've been with the show and they continue to support us.
	The show is in need of support.
	They produce the show.
	Yeah, exactly.
	The show is in need of support.
	It is.
	In fact, don't support NPR. That's what I say.
	Relationships are going to religion, culinary arts, airlines, food recipes, else United States, Africa, outdoor recreation, travel, tourism.
	And by the way, we have one lead, exactly one, on the No Agenda Nation tour, Hot Pockets Across America.
	There is one human resource out there who works at an actual RV sales and rental company in Illinois, and he's trying to convince his boss to give us an RV. For the trip.
	And actually, that would be great, because we can go Illinois up to the northern eastern seaboard all the way down, and then go all the way down the southern states, up to California, up to, you know, up to Canada, then all the way back to Illinois.
	It would be great.
	I think five, six weeks.
	You've never been in the South.
	Yes, I have.
	I've been to every single state in the Union.
	What are you talking about?
	You have?
	You've been to Alaska?
	Yes.
	Oh, yes.
	Anchorage, Alaska.
	The most beautiful women in the world, and there's three women to one guy.
	No, it's the other way around.
	Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh.
	No, sirree.
	There's tons, and they're just beautiful.
	I have been to, it was only for 48 hours, but I was in Anchorage.
	It's beautiful up there.
	So yes, I've been to every single state in the Union.
	I haven't been to Alaska.
	Well, you can hitch a ride when we come back up through California.
	Oh, you're going to take the Alaskan-Canadian Highway?
	Trans-Canadian, whatever they call it?
	Yeah, that one.
	Sure you are.
	Yeah, why not?
	But we just need to convince this guy that it's a good deal.
	And I said, look, we'll give you credit on the shows.
	We'll get plenty of exposure.
	Right?
	Yeah, you'd be driving everything with a bunch of promotion on the side of it, I would assume.
	Yeah, I even said I'll do like a sock hop or whatever in your local market.
	I mean, anything.
	Just hook us up.
	A sock?
	Nobody even knows what a sock hop is anymore.
	I know.
	I know.
	It's completely sad.
	You mentioned my sock hop.
	What's a sock hop?
	Let me explain for people out there who don't know.
	We do have a younger listening audience.
	We have a good broad range of people.
	Because we don't have to package our audience for any sort of advertiser.
	So we have everybody that listens and we don't care.
	So, in the olden days, they used to have dances, because they used to, like, encourage kids to dance, and high school dances, and they'd always have them in the gym, and they didn't want people scratching up the gym floor, because it would wreck the...
	Oh, I didn't know this part.
	This is great.
	I didn't actually know this.
	Yeah, so they created this phony baloney thing in the 50s because once they went away from waltzing into doing the bop and whatever, the dirty bop and the jumping around dancing, rock and roll.
	That crazy thing those kids are doing.
	Once they started doing that, they were scratching up the place because of their shoes.
	So they said, oh, let's create the sock hop.
	So you had to go in your socks because you wouldn't damage anything.
	Okay, thanks for that history lesson.
	You're welcome.
	Now speaking of socks, big up.
	Big up to the human resources of Belgium.
	Big ups.
	So of course they now have been without a government longer than Iraq.
	Do they need a government?
	Apparently not.
	No, it's working fine.
	They don't need it at all.
	So they're doing their own version of the riot, and they're leading by example.
	I love our human resources from Gitmo Nation, Brussels Sprouts.
	They put up a dummy of the Belgian Prime Minister, Yves Leterme.
	On the steps of the Stock Exchange building, and they've been throwing shoes at...
	I mean, there's thousands of shoes.
	You see these pictures.
	It's beautiful.
	Thousands of shoes.
	And everyone comes by and just throws a shoe.
	And I'm telling you, this is the protest.
	This is the one that gets attention.
	Throw your shoes over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
	Throw your shoe...
	What?
	Yeah, throw your shoes over the fence.
	Yeah, or stick them on the fence.
	We could take this one level higher and throw pre-shoes.
	We really have to.
	Pre-shoes?
	I think throwing a pre-shoe is even better.
	What's a pre-shoe?
	A rubber tire.
	They make them into shoes in Mexico.
	A pre-shoe.
	No.
	People don't know what to do with these old tires.
	They got them in their garage.
	No, it's shoes.
	Just shoes.
	Shoes is an insult.
	It's insulting.
	It's beautiful.
	Throw your shoes.
	You don't think throwing a tire at somebody is an insult?
	No, no.
	Just shut up, John.
	But please, don't confuse it.
	You're making light of this.
	We have to protest one way or the other.
	Shoes.
	All right, throw your shoes over the fence at Pennsylvania Avenue.
	All right, haiku Herman Van Ruffoy.
	You know, they'll be saying, well, you guys are eliciting littering.
	It's a felony.
	Yeah.
	I'm down today.
	You were in a happy mood when you began the show.
	Yeah, but then I just saw the futility of it all.
	What, because of the chat room?
	The guys are missing the point?
	Yeah, it hurts.
	It really does.
	It hurts.
	It hurts.
	Yeah.
	It doesn't hurt.
	This show is my life.
	It's very simple.
	This show is my life.
	See, you've learned to hide from it.
	I'm still a young man.
	All right.
	We remain in Brussels.
	The president of the United States of Europe.
	You know that guy who was never chosen by the human resources?
	They just put him there.
	Herman.
	Haiku Herman.
	Yeah, he's got a new poem.
	Yeah, he's got a new haiku.
	He sure does.
	In which he wished Italy to remain united forever.
	And shall I read you this haiku?
	Why not?
	Okay, here we go.
	From the multitudes to unity.
	After a century-long journey.
	Together forever.
	What?
	Yeah, that's his haiku.
	He tweets them now, his haikus.
	He tweets them?
	Yeah.
	This guy's an idiot.
	Uh-huh.
	And then, of course, there's some interesting stuff going on in Italy, as George Clooney apparently will be called as a witness for the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's hooker trial.
	And Berlusconi's like, hey man, George was there.
	He had them hookers over there.
	We gotta call him as a witness so that he knows that George will say that it's not true.
	Of course, George is...
	This is like a desperate measure.
	It's probably like this.
	Hello, George W. Maybe Berlusconi's handlers bailed out on him and he knows the only way he can get a message to them is through Clooney.
	No, I think it went like this.
	Hello, George W. Obama.
	This is Silvio.
	Hey, man, I have some deep shit here, man.
	What, is the guy from Acapulco?
	I mean, what is his accent?
	I don't have an accent for Silvio.
	I needed the help.
	I needed the help of George W. Obama.
	How can you help me with this problem with the hookers and the blows?
	Don't worry there, Sylvia.
	I'll send Clooney.
	He'll fix it.
	Doesn't he fix everything?
	Yeah, Clooney's the fixer.
	He's the fixer.
	He did that movie, the Clayton, whatever it was, film, which was about being a fixer, and that's what he is.
	It's kind of an irony.
	Yeah, he's just going to go in and fix it.
	Not a problem.
	Not a problem.
	So Mimi came up with an interesting observation that I think he's reporting, and I think we should look into it.
	Yeah, I'm all ears.
	She believes, and now that I think back on it...
	Oh, George Clooney's gay?
	Is this what it's going to be?
	No.
	Oh.
	I'm looking back on these interviews.
	She believes that Rumsfeld...
	Is gay?
	...has been Botoxed...
	To an extreme, so you can't spot him lying about this pack of life book that he came out with.
	And now that I remember it, she says she just turned off the sound on a Rumsfeld interview, and he's got no expression.
	He's expressionless.
	And this is kind of a fractal of the show, Lie to Me, where this guy who reads people can't read this one guy because he's been Botox to death.
	So you Botox yourself up.
	So he says, Rumsfeld's got all these wrinkles in his forehead, but he can't raise his eyebrows.
	Right.
	And it makes nothing but sense because there's been studies that show that when you cut off the ability to express yourself facially, you also lose those emotions.
	You go flat.
	Right.
	We've actually discussed this, that if you can't make the emotion, then it actually alters your personality.
	Yeah.
	And so now Rumsfeld's got to – this explains a lot of these interviews.
	I mean, he was yucking it up kind of with Jon Stewart.
	He was denying all kinds of things.
	He doesn't think that – what was that one thing he kept repeating that he doesn't think there's any corruption in Afghanistan?
	There's no corruption.
	No, none.
	He also doesn't know what Building 7 is.
	Right.
	He doesn't know – What?
	Did you hear that?
	Did we ever play that clip?
	Play the clip.
	What?
	We played the clip.
	We don't know.
	He doesn't know what Building 7 is.
	It's hilarious.
	I have it here.
	Building 7.
	Hold on.
	You've got to listen to it.
	I often hear about it.
	No plane hit Building 7.
	Why did Building 7 come down?
	What do you tell people?
	What is Building 7?
	And if he was lying about that, you wouldn't know because he doesn't have any expressions anymore.
	So if anybody sees Rumsfeld, because I think he's still on the book tour, turn off the sound, or record it, and then turn off the sound and watch him, and apparently you're going to notice that his face is like frozen by Botox.
	And this is why Nicole Kidman doesn't win any Oscars anymore.
	Because she Botoxed herself out and she can't act anymore.
	She has no expression.
	She's got no expressions.
	No, she does have a flat look.
	I mean, it's actually kind of creepy, to be honest, about the way Nicole Kidman can't...
	Her smile is kind of fixed in place and her eyebrows don't move and her eyes don't open wide.
	So this is a very good point and I think we need to be on the lookout.
	How about Hillary Clinton?
	How about Lucifer?
	Lucifer Clinton?
	Has she been Botoxed?
	Now we've got to start paying attention to this.
	This is a very good point.
	Mickey always sees this.
	She always says, Botox.
	We should look at this more.
	I think that...
	I was watching Hillary...
	No, because Hillary...
	I don't think she's going to get Botox.
	Maybe she's Botox in some parts, but she relies on that glare.
	Right.
	And if she gets Botox, she's going to lose that glare because she'll look at somebody and give them that dirty look.
	Right.
	And to transmit a dirty look without saying anything, you can't be Botox.
	She's wearing the brooch, man.
	It's the evil eye brooch.
	That thing is emanating something.
	I think Lucy Napolitano may be Botox.
	Well, let's pay attention to this.
	This should be a new segment.
	Yeah.
	Botoxed Elite of the Week.
	Botoxed or not Botoxed?
	Hey, we got a couple of...
	Shadow puppets.
	A couple of entries in the Shadow Puppet Theater.
	A lobbyist for the RIAA, and her name is Beryl Howell, is about to become a judge who will rule on file-sharing cases.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me get this straight.
	Yeah, please.
	Try it.
	What?
	Yeah, exactly.
	So she was a lobbyist for the RIAA. You know, one of those people that...
	Shill.
	Yeah, shill.
	That bribes politicians.
	Congress.
	Yeah, Congress.
	Bribes them.
	With hookers.
	Hookers, yeah, exactly.
	And she's Botox, by the way.
	She is now a federal judge and she will be ruling on a number of file sharing cases.
	It's beautiful.
	And then the favorite one, which has not been confirmed, but it looks like Tiny Tim Gibbs, Bob Gibbs, is in talks with Facebook to oversee the company's communications.
	Why?
	Well, duh.
	Every time somebody says this to me, I go, why?
	Why?
	Because Facebook is...
	We need more government people in there.
	What are you talking about?
	Why?
	I mean, but what...
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah.
	It's a place where they can track you like a dog, which is one of the reasons I don't...
	Well, it's not the only reason I don't use it, because...
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	We know you don't like it.
	But anyway.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry.
	No, go ahead.
	I mean, isn't that obvious?
	What is their excuse?
	I mean, if I'm Zuckerberg or anybody at Facebook, what is my excuse for hiring a government stooge as a communications guy when there's a million guys that are better than he is?
	It's not about the communication that Gibbs sends out.
	It's about the communication he brings in.
	Are you kidding me?
	Isn't that so completely obvious?
	Also, he's an input device.
	Of course!
	He's not an output device.
	So what are we supposed to do now, Mr.
	Gibbs?
	Exactly.
	Okay, we'll do that.
	He's now the handler for Facebook.
	Do I still have a net worth of $40 billion?
	Is that good?
	Yeah, okay.
	You want me to cut it down a little bit?
	Okay, no.
	Okay, we'll do what you say.
	Is that your Gibbs?
	No, that's...
	Oh, it's your Zuckerberg.
	That's your Zuckerberg.
	Okay.
	And this one...
	Okay, so you can't write this stuff, okay?
	You just can't write it.
	President Obama accepted his transparency award from the open government community this week in a closed, undisclosed meeting at the White House.
	That's the press release of the week.
	Let me just read this again.
	President Obama accepted his transparency award from the open government community in a closed, undisclosed meeting.
	Wow!
	Hey, ladies and gentlemen, this is why we do this show.
	You've got to help us out here.
	I mean, who comes up with this stuff?
	Write it for me.
	Go ahead, go to the best writer in Hollywood and say, what is the craziest thing you could make up?
	They throw you out.
	They're like, no, you can't write that.
	That would never happen.
	Just like this from Gitmo Nation, United States of Europe.
	Listen to the member of parliament, European parliament, as he explains why cloned meat does not have to be labeled.
	Conventional European meat-eaters can continue their customary habits for a while longer.
	European Union talks over how to deal with food from cloned animals have broken down.
	These animals can be bred traditionally to produce young with desirable traits like high milk production or rapid growth.
	Although roughly six out of ten EU consumers are said to oppose cloning for food, the bloc's health commissioner says it's okay.
	The legal vacuum continues.
	The present situation where there is no control at all on cloning techniques or clones will be again the rule in Europe.
	Science is telling us that there is no risk whatever on health from meat.
	There we go.
	This will be the rule.
	The cloning is no problem.
	Why, John?
	Because the science is telling us this.
	Science is telling us it is okay.
	Huh.
	Well, the science is in.
	It must be okay.
	Yeah.
	Hey, wait, whatever you do!
	The science is in!
	Science!
	Yeah, it's, uh, science is in.
	So, right there, there's your representatives, uh, slaves of Europe.
	You will eat cloned meat.
	Hold on a second, stop, stop.
	Am I wrong, or did I imagine that just, oh, I don't know, three, four years ago, actually even during the memory of the show's creation, that the Europeans were all bent out of shape about anything that was even genetically modified, let alone cloned, and they weren't going to allow it?
	Or did I imagine that?
	Nah, you must have imagined it.
	Really?
	Because I was under the impression that the Europeans, in particular, were just completely bent out of shape about any genetic modification of the food that they eat and all this sort of thing.
	And they weren't going to put up with it.
	But this doesn't sound like that.
	This sounds just the opposite.
	The science has proven to us that it is completely safe to eat the...
	Hot pockets!
	You must eat the hot pockets!
	Eating the Hot Pockets will keep you strong and healthy for a better combined European nation.
	Interesting.
	Meanwhile, back here in Gitmo Nation, the United States of America, we have a new Cash for Clunkers program, John.
	And you and I can get in on it.
	Ooh.
	Yeah.
	We can buy a battery car.
	You want to buy a battery car?
	Yeah!
	Okay, check this out.
	This is Senator Debbie Stabenow from, well, she's from Michigan.
	Do you think that has anything to do with it?
	Yeah, Debbie from the Depster.
	From Michigan, huh?
	The Debonator.
	From Michigan.
	What do they make of Michigan?
	Oh, cars.
	Poverty.
	Yeah.
	Straight from Michigan, makers of the best poverty in the union.
	Here's Debbie.
	President Obama called on us to rise to the challenge of the 21st century economy.
	To out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world.
	And we can do that.
	He also challenged us to put one million electric vehicles on the road by 2015.
	The bill I've introduced today will help us achieve that goal by investing in electric vehicle innovation because we can create the jobs of the future in America.
	We are already creating those in Michigan with these investments.
	We all know that new technologies are always the most expensive, which is why we passed a tax credit of up to $7,500 on the purchase of a new electric vehicle.
	My bill makes that work even better for consumers.
	It turns that credit into a rebate.
	That can be used at the time of purchase so that when you buy a car, you would get up to the $7,500 off at the beginning, at the dealership, rather than waiting until you fill out your tax forms the next year.
	7,500 smackers!
	For a Volt, the only electric car we really have is a Volt.
	That's a Chevy, that's a General Motors, which I believe is owned or partially owned by the government still.
	Woo-hoo!
	7,500 buckaroos!
	So the government itself is subsidizing cars made by its own...
	Okay, well, that's what everyone was fearful of, but, you know, hey, 7,500, 7,500.
	So the chat room just posted this link about the president mispronouncing the name Libya.
	Did you see anything about this?
	Is that supposed to be funny?
	Let's see what these hilarious people have to share with us.
	Tonight, I'd like to update the American people on the international effort that we have led in Libya.
	We would not put ground troops into labia.
	What did he say?
	Labia.
	It's funny or die.
	Duh.
	I fell for that one.
	Stupid idiot I am.
	Gitmo Nation, Deutschland.
	Bad news, John.
	Bad, bad, bad news.
	The demon drink has struck there and the children are in deep, deep kimchi.
	Vodka tampons is the new craze.
	Oh, yeah.
	That'll do it.
	Yeah.
	Vodka tampons.
	Police in southern Germany, Deutschland, warned this week of a dangerous new form of alcohol abuse amongst teens using tampons soaked in vodka to get drunk quickly and hide the smell.
	The practice poses grave health risks, they say.
	This is worse than the eyeball shots.
	Eyeball shots, but don't work.
	I bet you the tampon thing works.
	Well, maybe.
	Let me give it a try and let me know, eh?
	That was in a Law& Order recently.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	So this is just promotion for Law& Order?
	I'm sorry.
	I should have caught that.
	How stupid.
	Yeah, the girl was drunk, but then she's dead and drunk, and then there was no alcohol in her stomach.
	And then they came up with this...
	With a tampon thing?
	She was apparently a model, and the thing was you didn't want to have alcohol in your breath, but you wanted to get plastered.
	Oh, jeez.
	So, you know, the funny thing is I think that the alcohol would still come out of...
	Well, if it's enough, yeah, if it's enough, you'd smell it.
	But vodka has no real smell anyway, right?
	What, ethanol?
	No, vodka.
	Well, ethanol, vodka, same thing.
	I'm sorry.
	Get technical.
	Here you go.
	Here's a premium for the show.
	We make a vodka called ethanol.
	That'd be great.
	Ethanol.
	By the way, there's this stupid study just to show people how news is made.
	I read this to Mickey.
	I said, oh, it turns out that 16% of all women would gladly give up one year of their life to have the perfect body.
	And she says, I don't trust these surveys.
	And I said, well, it's a promotion for something.
	Let me go find it.
	And sure enough, study commissioned by this new charity against eating disorder.
	How horrible is it?
	It's like, hey, we've got to promote our charity.
	What can we do?
	Let's do a study.
	Yeah, what can we do?
	Oh, I know.
	Let's ask people if they'd like to die a year earlier to have the perfect body.
	Yeah, that's bad.
	And you get some discussion going, and then everyone's talking about it.
	Yeah.
	Guys, it's like everything's a scam.
	This is why I'm demure.
	Do you have any good news?
	Do you have anything fun?
	Come on.
	Well, I have a peculiar...
	Squirrel!
	Besides the squirrel clip.
	I wanted that clip, only I wanted...
	Shoot!
	What's that one?
	Throw a shoe.
	Well, here, play the Young and the Restless clip.
	Oh, thank goodness.
	Something different.
	I have to go.
	No, no, no.
	Please, please, please, please, please.
	Listen, listen.
	This is torture for my friend not knowing where she is.
	You can't tell anyone that I told you.
	You won't get in trouble.
	You will, I promise.
	I promise.
	We sold.
	We sold her to a horrible woman.
	Horrible.
	What is that?
	They sold her to a horrible woman.
	A horrible woman.
	I was going to play that clip before I played all that Hillary stuff.
	That's why she freaked out?
	Because of the horrible woman?
	The whole thing?
	Yeah.
	I don't know what it's about.
	I just turned it on and boom, there was a clip for me.
	I do have a Gaddafi sick joke top ten.
	These are the last three items in the Letterman's thing last night.
	I thought this was the end of society.
	This is the top ten list and these are the last three.
	It's one second, this clip.
	How can that be right?
	Oh, whoops.
	Whoops.
	Hold on a second.
	Whoops.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Something crashed here.
	I don't even know if we're still on the air.
	Hold on.
	Whoa.
	That was weird.
	Are we still on the air?
	Yes.
	How do you know?
	Just because you can hear me doesn't mean we're on the air.
	I thought because I could hear you.
	Because I could hear you.
	You could hear me.
	How can it be one second?
	That doesn't make any sense.
	Let's see if this works.
	Yeah.
	Great job, John.
	That's a great clip.
	Great clip.
	Everything crashed because of your fantastic clip.
	Let me just see.
	Let me open this in quick time.
	Let me see if it's...
	Do you like check these?
	Yeah, it's one second.
	Here's your clip.
	All right, everybody, stand by.
	Here's John's phenomenal clip that's supposed to cheer me up.
	Great.
	Perfect.
	Great.
	Great.
	Thanks.
	I guess I can't use that clip.
	No.
	So...
	Please don't go on explaining it.
	That won't make me feel any better.
	From the vaccine land, good news.
	20 years after HIV geneticist Betty Korber first began tackling HIV, her hard work, some would say obsession may be finally paying off.
	Ashina team are gearing up for the first round of human trials on an HIV vaccine.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, Debbie will...
	Well, that's good news.
	Debbie will soon be found in the hot tub.
	No, I think there's just time to end that plague.
	Don't get me started on that.
	More than 300...
	I can't even...
	I'm not even going to tell you.
	I just get annoyed.
	Do the 3-3-3.
	Can we give us your...
	Yeah, let's do some magic numbers.
	California Assembly approves 33% renewable mandate.
	Hey, cheery.
	Spam down 33% after the Rustalk takedown, which, by the way, I don't believe.
	I mean, I see the spam is not down.
	Hey, Avon, ladies.
	Spam isn't down at all.
	Bullcrap.
	Avon Ladies, upcoming 33% gain of the company's share.
	Good job, Avon Ladies.
	Let's see.
	Stink bug epidemic spreads as 33 states now report the smelly pests.
	This is new.
	Oh, it's taken over from bed bugs.
	Yeah.
	You always have to have some bug attack.
	It's the stink bug.
	What the hell?
	The stink bug.
	33% of public school staff set to retire in 10 years.
	India gets 74 bids for 33 oil and gas blocks.
	And my favorite, President Obama says we must cut oil imports by 33% by 2025.
	Yeah, that'll happen.
	Did you see that thing in...
	Oh, there are a couple of things.
	Okay, there's one I have to remind you of.
	And the other one is...
	This should go with President Obama's Transparency Award.
	Homeland Security officials in charge of submitting sensitive government files to political advisors for secretive reviews before they could be released to citizens.
	Have you been following this?
	No, read that again.
	It was hard for me to understand.
	You were kind of...
	Yeah, microwave.
	...babbling.
	Yes.
	George McGovern.
	The Homeland Security Department official in charge of submitting sensitive government files to political advisors...
	For secretive reviews before they could be released to citizens, journalists, and watchdog groups complained in emails that the unusual scrutiny was crazy and hoped someone outside the Obama administration would discover the practice.
	So here's what's happening.
	So we discovered it right now.
	Yeah.
	Here we go.
	Your wishes come true.
	So apparently, when they ask for a Freedom of Information request, it has to go through a whole bunch of people who have to scrutinize this in the award-winning Obama Transparency Administration.
	And then they black everything out, and then everything gets deleted.
	I'm telling you, John, I'm done.
	I'm done.
	I got nothing.
	I have no energy left for this.
	There's nothing funny.
	I haven't laughed once.
	We didn't have anything that humorous.
	No, but that disappoints me.
	We're in the middle of another third war we don't need.
	When they talk about World War III, we didn't know it meant three wars.
	Oh, good point.
	And did you want to talk about this Snopes thing?
	Oh, I did want to talk about this.
	It's just too bad I said so deep in the show.
	Well, let me set it up.
	So, according to reports from out there, Essentially, here's the consensus of the story.
	Let me preface your setup with something.
	I have been baffled, because Snopes is always being referred to.
	Oh, lick it up in Snopes.
	You've been sucking Snopes, has it?
	Yeah, well, you've even done that to me in the past, and I've played the clip of it, but that's okay.
	Snopes.
	When Snopes has it, that's the truth, baby.
	But I've always been just befuddled, is the right word, by the fact that Snopes refuses to go along with the fact that we all listened, we all heard it, that Al Gore says he invented the internet.
	And...
	They, because he didn't use the word invented, I think he used the word created.
	Right.
	They say, this is bullcrap!
	Al Gore never said such a thing!
	Debunked, right.
	And they say false, when in fact it's true, but it was just a different word.
	Okay, he didn't invent it, he created it, or whatever.
	And I've always been baffled by the fact that they're so persistent in this.
	Right.
	So, what's been going around is that...
	Are you out, darling?
	Oh, I love you so much.
	Where are you going?
	Oh, okay.
	Say hi.
	Is this the microwaves, or is this you talking to Mickey?
	It's the microwaves!
	I'm just talking to myself now!
	All right.
	So what's been going around is that every single time there was a birth certificate lawsuit essentially saying, hey, the president has to show his birth certificate.
	Who was the lead attorney in charge of defending the president?
	Elena Kagan.
	Who was nominated and put into the Supreme Court.
	And so the theory is that she is the shill for when and if this goes all the way to the Supreme Court, she will be on the inside blocking this.
	And Snopes says, that's not true!
	You're supposed to take over here.
	Well, how do they know it's not true?
	Well, because they're Snopes.
	Well, then there's apparently some connection now that's been discovered that Snopes is actually...
	I don't have the email in front of me.
	I should have...
	I'm an idiot.
	But they're connected to some intelligence agency or other, which makes nothing but sense if you think about it.
	So they're essentially a propaganda tool.
	Well, the...
	The email that you referenced, and I'm only bringing this up because you said, hey, I've got a take on this.
	The take was my befuddlement, and that's the word I'm using, about Al Gore creating the internet incident, which is what he said.
	We all heard him.
	Right.
	So who can you believe?
	Well, I was thinking about that.
	I think we should do a no agenda version of Snopes.
	No, I'm not interested.
	No, we don't have to do it.
	Somebody should do it with our blessing.
	No, I'm really not interested.
	You could spider Snopes and take all the material and then rewrite it.
	Snopes is for dopes.
	Who cares?
	I do.
	I want to be able to say, Snopes!
	Snopes said it!
	I can't do that now.
	Now it's like, well, Snopes is Snopes.
	Who knows what they're up to.
	Anyway, I guess we can wind it up.
	And, of course, I am completely crazy.
	I don't know what I'm talking about.
	Persistent countries.
	And so this is the next move before they come out and say, yeah, we're actually chemtrailing the skies to protect you all from global warming.
	This is the next step.
	Air travel has come under fire for its potential contributions to climate change, which, by the way, hey, get with the program.
	It's climate disruption.
	Yeah, really.
	You can't use climate change.
	It's out.
	Yeah, it's climate disruption.
	Most people probably assume that its impact comes through carbon emissions given that aircraft burn significant amounts of fossil fuels to stay aloft.
	But oh no, it turns out a new study in the new, brand new by the way, recently created journal Nature Climate Change.
	Hello, branding Nature Climate Disruption.
	Reinforces that by suggesting that the clouds currently being generated by air travel have a larger impact on the climate than the cumulative emissions of all aircraft ever flown.
	What is this?
	What are they trying to do to me now?
	Well, this was based...
	For one thing, there's a couple of things here.
	One, this is really old news.
	that the chemtrails, contrails, that the contrails, you said it.
	You said it.
	I heard you say it.
	You slipped.
	So during 9-11, when they grounded all the airlines, they had a period of time where the scientists could study the fact, what is this guy like with zero contrails?
	Anywhere.
	And they found that the temperatures all went up.
	And so then, because the normal, you know, they contribute enough cloud cover, these jets, that they, this is an ANOVA, you can look it up.
	They believe that if it wasn't for these jets, we'd all be cooked by now.
	And the jets are saving us.
	They're in a conundrum here.
	The jets are saving us, but we've got to promote trains, and the jets are not saving us.
	What are we going to do about these jets?
	They're saving the globe, but again, we don't want jets anymore.
	I don't know.
	So, don't you understand?
	It's so simple.
	Duh-duh.
	So, okay, we have to...
	Winning.
	We have to reduce air travel, but you know what?
	For your protection, we're going to create these clouds artificially.
	This is where it's going, John.
	This is where it's going.
	We have government...
	Because, you know, it turns out, it's actually, it's quite good if we could only get rid of the nasty airplane pollution, but we could still have the contrails.
	This is where it's going.
	I guarantee you.
	Fucking sick of it.
	I'm sick and tired of it.
	I want to get out of here.
	Mr.
	Oil is coming up next with the Oil's Crude Show.
	Your short half hour.
	And if you want to know why we even have to do this show, it's all because of oil.
	And he thinks it's not a bad thing.
	Yeah, well, I don't blame him.
	No, I don't.
	I think it's a bad thing either.
	I don't think it's a bad thing either.
	Help us continue doing this show.
	Adam will be more cheerful on Sunday.
	No, I don't think so.
	Remind everybody that on Sunday we're going to go a half an hour early for people who want to listen and want to kibitz in the chat room.
	Yes.
	We'll be playing at 8.30 instead of 9 Pacific time.
	That's right.
	8.30 a.m.
	Gitmo Nation West time is when the show starts, so make sure you're here early.
	It'll be great for the people in Gitmo Nation East.
	And I'm sorry everybody, I'm just, sometimes it gets to me.
	I don't know what you guys did in the chat room to upset him.
	But it worked.
	Coming to you from Gitmo Nation West and the People's Republic of Southern California.
	I think I'll go take a hot tub with a lid on.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	I'm from the northern Silicon Valley region where I don't listen to the chat room for obvious reasons because I'd be bummed, I guess.
	I don't know.
	Maybe not.
	Maybe they're praising me in there.
	I'm not sure, but I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Thursday.
	Remember, half an hour earlier, right here on No Agenda.
