	Come on!
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, May 5th, 2011.
	Time for Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 301.
	This is No Agenda.
	Keeping all of our campaign promises.
	And coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center, Gimbo Nation West, and the People's Republic of Southern California in the morning.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, it's time to celebrate because it's Sanco de Mayo.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Not only that, but it's Liberation Day in Gitmo Nation lowlands.
	So, yeah.
	In the morning to you, everybody.
	In the morning to you, John.
	In the morning to you and in the morning to all ships at sea and all feet in the air.
	Yeah, boots on the ground and wingmen in stealth helicopters.
	And shots in the eye.
	Yes.
	And two to the head.
	About eyeball shots before we're way ahead of the game.
	Yeah, two to the head and one to the chest.
	That's right.
	Well, slow news week, everybody.
	Real bummer.
	No news?
	Well, actually, I want to thank Leon Panetta and the CIA operatives And everyone who is a part of the Military Industrial Intelligence Complex who have provided me personally with some of the funniest, most entertaining, great television I have been able to watch in years.
	Thank you so much.
	I really appreciate it.
	It's just been great.
	I mean, I have not watched so much mainstream television and enjoyed myself so much in just a long time.
	I'm glad you had a good time doing that.
	I'm just annoyed that they did this whole Broadway play after we did the show on Sunday, which I thought took away from our 300th episode.
	Well, it did in a way.
	Of course, and they stepped all over Trump by coincidence, too, which I thought was funny.
	At first I was also like, oh man, you've got to be kidding me.
	Seriously, this is what you're going to do?
	You're going to take the sheen off of our episode 300 by doing this hours after our show?
	And then I was actually quite happy.
	Because if we had had a show following on this Osama Bin Laden assassination...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	We're not allowed to say his name anymore.
	Anderson Vanderbilt Cooper is no longer saying his name.
	Did you realize...
	Did you hear about this?
	No, tell me what that's all about.
	He's saying, like, I'm no longer going to speak his name.
	I don't want to speak his name anymore.
	Out of respect...
	Because he keeps saying Obama instead of Osama like half the broadcasters do?
	No.
	It's so crazy.
	I have a medley.
	Of Obama's?
	Yeah.
	The one that Howard Stern put together?
	No.
	I'm not quite sure where I got this one from.
	Stern did a pretty elaborate one.
	Can I say one interesting little thing about this?
	By the way, I had a couple of clips.
	I didn't put them in here.
	Rush Limbaugh was doing it.
	I was doing it.
	In fact, I made a post on the blog and I put Obama.
	I wrote it instead of Osama.
	But here's what we're talking about for people listening is that people just keep transliterating the name Osama and Obama.
	And here's what's interesting.
	Fox News is the only ones who kind of dealt with this from the beginning.
	They required the only usage of Osama to be spelled with a U. Well, this is very interesting.
	Fox News spelling it with a U, and in Sweden they are spelling it all of a sudden L-A-D-I-N, which of course means that it wasn't actually the Osama Bin Laden that we think it was that was killed.
	It was some other guy.
	Osama.
	I don't think Fox did it.
	This is like the episode of the 30 Rock where they're using a Lay Zuck.
	Are you sure this Lay Zuck thing is going to work?
	Here's a 42 second medley.
	They are saying that Obama was...
	Sorry, Osama, I'm sorry.
	He unveiled details that have never before been heard about how Obama was killed.
	So...
	After decades of searching and a worldwide manhunt, federal agents discovered Obama's secret location.
	Back in August, they got a possible lead on where Obama might be hiding.
	It was so emotional to find out that in fact Osama bin Laden had been caught.
	It started when Obama took office.
	He directed the head of the CIA to make killing Obama their number one priority.
	We still are.
	Ladies and gentlemen, if Obama's dead, I don't care.
	Osama Bin Laden is dead.
	That's Geraldo at the end there.
	So Fox News didn't do too well.
	And I always thought it was kind of interesting that Osama Obama, you know, that the name was so close.
	I always wondered what that was about.
	And I guess now we know.
	Just to befuddle the media?
	What do you mean?
	Yeah, probably.
	Just to confuse everybody.
	I'm sure there's some thinking behind it.
	It was annoying because I did it myself a number of times.
	It hasn't happened with me.
	I'm sorry.
	I don't know.
	I don't have this issue.
	I'm involved.
	So before we get into what this is all about, because of course it doesn't matter.
	It makes no difference whatsoever.
	And I'm so happy that we, again, that we didn't have our show because we would, John, you and I would have just sat here.
	There's so much to pull apart.
	Yeah, no, I agree.
	We have actually two.
	I know what I already know.
	I'll warn people in advance.
	In fact, I think we should go in and credit our executive producers right off the top.
	Do that first?
	That's a good idea.
	Because I want to warn everybody in advance that Adam and I have not really talked about this.
	No, no, we have not talked about it at all.
	And so we haven't.
	We have probably slightly differing theories, which will come to pretty much kind of the same conclusions, but...
	But there'll be different angles.
	How do you know?
	You don't know what my conclusion is.
	You have no idea.
	You're going to be presented with the same evidence I am, and if at some point we tend to...
	We'll see.
	I think I have a slightly different...
	We'll see.
	We'll see.
	Who cares what you think?
	We'll see.
	I'm just explaining to people what they're going to have to endure.
	So it's going to be a long...
	With a bunch of obscure information that...
	I don't know why...
	Yes, that's true.
	There's a lot of obscure information that I think you and I both have picked up on pre-May 2nd that starts to explain a lot of what's going on.
	I believe that the news media has really dropped the ball, and they are essentially running a psyops program.
	They're running two or three games that they're trying to do.
	They're trying to discredit the Pakistanis to get, for whatever reason, I have my reason.
	Stop, stop now.
	I have my reasons too.
	But let's do our producers first.
	Okay.
	You're already getting into it.
	We've got to drag people all the way to the end before we tell them what's going on.
	Come on.
	We've got to have some laughs first.
	There's plenty to laugh about.
	You mean like these pictures of the war room or whatever it was?
	There's much more.
	ABC News is the best.
	And then Hillary holding her mouth.
	Oh my God, she's looking like she's...
	Excuse me.
	Let me just get this out of the way right now.
	Hillary is not holding her mouth as in oh my God.
	She's yawning.
	She's bored.
	Trust me on this.
	Look at it really, really closely.
	She's not doing an oh my God.
	She's like...
	Can I go to the sex party now?
	She could also be trying to suppress laughing.
	True.
	I'll go with that one.
	So we have some executive producers today's show.
	Excuse me, I want to thank him.
	Steven McGrath in Naperville, Illinois.
	With no particular message that I could find, maybe he sent me an email.
	But he's now a 1111.11 Knight.
	Wow, awesomeness.
	And so he came in with $1,111.11 for the special celebration, which will take place on 11-11-11, which is the only time this is going to happen in the next thousand years or so.
	Niccolo Kress, Clarkson, Western Australia, Australia, please send some karma to me and some for my ex-boyfriend, Andreas Leinemann, who put me on to you.
	Sorry.
	You've got karma.
	Didn't mean to cut you off there.
	I just wanted to make sure we got the karma out.
	She appreciates the great work, and she is one of the first, although we're going to do a lot of back-crediting for people who gave 333.33 in celebration of show 333, which is coming up in 33 episodes.
	Right on.
	Smiley face in Jovid, Opland, Norway, 321.
	Please just call me smiley face because I'm listening to No Agenda.
	Makes me smile.
	Thanks for keeping me sane and death to the new world order.
	Smiley face in Norway.
	Right on.
	Death to the New World Order.
	We have a couple members of the 301 Club.
	Sir Spitzer in Jamaica Plains, Massachusetts.
	And Paul from Louisiana.
	Although he shows up as Mobile Alabama on the PayPal account.
	Executive credit should go to Gal Holiday and the Honky Tonk Review.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Let me change that.
	Gal...
	Holiday and the honky-tonk review.
	He gets out a little bit.
	More than we do.
	I've been a long-time douchebag and don't deserve a get-a-dee-doucheing.
	I love this show, but I have nothing good to say, so I'm giving my executive producer credit to Gal and...
	They have a sound that conjures Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash attitude with reverence for Merrill Haggard Merrill Merrill Merrill Or Rob Willis They've won Best Country Band and Album from Offbeat Magazine Do you know how elitist you sound when you say Merrill Haggard?
	I made a mistake I don't pronounce it Merrill normally I'm reading from the page I know how it's Merrill Merrill Haggard I've heard his songs I've got a bunch of his albums on I have all the Lawrence Welk albums So anyway, so you're going to call me out every time I have a typo?
	No, but come on, Merle has a country band from Big Easy Awards.
	Apparently they're out of Louisiana.
	They're trying to get some gigs around the West Coast.
	So, Adam, can you help them?
	Yeah, I think the whiskey would be just right for them.
	Francine Hardaway, Phoenix, Arizona, $300.
	And that concludes we have all executive producers.
	That's so nice of Francine to show up again.
	She's been quite supportive of the show.
	Yeah, she is good.
	We've got two women executive producers on this show.
	She's also involved in the technological aspect of the No Agenda News Network.com stuff.
	Oh, good.
	Yeah, she's like a geek.
	It's kind of cool.
	Well, this is good.
	So we have some support.
	Very nice to see Stephen McGrath.
	Of course, we'll be knighting him later on today.
	A couple of PR mentions before we get into the show.
	Rhino the Bearded has put up his school project.
	Which he sent a very long note, but somehow he finagled his school project into being a No Agenda promotion, which we encourage, by the way.
	This is a very good initiative.
	If you go to noagendacovers.com, you can cover yourself in No Agenda with all kinds of, I guess he's doing t-shirts, and you can get album covers.
	There's a whole bunch of different options there.
	Make sure you check that out.
	A couple of other domain name forwards, twosmartpeople.com, now forwarding to noagendashow.com, which I thought was kind of nice.
	There appears to be a new top-level domain name, and so now the following two domain names are pointing to NoAgendaShow.com AdamCurry.IsASonOfABitch.co and JohnCDvorak.IsASonOfABitch.co Well, .co is not new.
	Oh, of course.
	It's a subdomain.
	It's a son of a bitch.
	Got it.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry.
	That's all right.
	It's still interesting.
	Not as interesting, though, maybe as the following domain, which is forwarding to our show, luciferclinton.com.
	Amazing.
	No one took that one.
	Oh, that's a good one.
	That's a very good one.
	William was pretty smart.
	He said, you know, I realize that mistypings are very important to grab those domain names, so he got us noagendashoe.com.
	Actually, I wanted to bring this up because I occasionally type a couple.
	Everybody does it.
	You mistype something.
	The next thing you know, you're on a phony site that pretends to be the other site.
	People are mistyping constantly.
	Mistyped domain names forwarding to the No Agenda show is not a bad way to go.
	I know it has a double entendre, of course, because of the whole shoe-throwing meme, so I kind of liked it.
	Another new website, NoAgendaShopping.com.
	Make sure you check that one out.
	This is all, of course, great initiatives where a portion of the proceeds goes to the program.
	Also, you want to double-check NoAgendaNation.com.
	This is becoming quite a central hub.
	Links out to all kinds of great stuff.
	Donors, not bonors on the map.
	Donors.
	There's a store there.
	There's all kinds of cool...
	It's a nice site.
	Nice-looking site.
	Noagendanation.com.
	And then a little shout-out to Ryan Treby of Perth, who has a local radio show there.
	Now, Perth, by the way, is about five times the size of Texas, so a local radio show is actually quite large, and a lot of the Perth...
	Not five times the size of Texas.
	Yeah, I think it is.
	Perth is a city.
	Yeah, no, you know what, I don't know now.
	Okay, go on.
	Western Australia.
	There's a big market there.
	A lot of people listen.
	Thank you for calling me on that.
	A lot of people listen.
	Particularly, it's a university town.
	And so he has a show, and he sent me the following little promotion that he did for us.
	And you can tune in at that time any day of the week, and you'll hear some of the other fine programs that are being produced here from Radio Fremantle.
	Speaking of other shows, I want to give a quick g'day to my mates Adam and John from the No Agenda podcast.
	They're great to listen to in the morning whilst eating your Hot Pockets.
	And I know that they listened to The Gravy Train.
	In fact, here's a review that they did just recently.
	Oh.
	I don't know what happened there.
	This show is terrible.
	This whole group should be ashamed of themselves.
	How do they sleep at night?
	Okay, well, I probably should have listened to that first.
	Anyway, check them out at shutupslaves.com.
	Just taking some random rant.
	Yeah, I like that, though.
	I think that's a...
	Shutupslaves.com.
	Which, of course, also forwards to the show.
	So, our gratitude to Stephen McGrath, Nicola Kress, Smiley Face, Sir Spitzer, Gal Holiday, and the Honky Tonk Review, and Francine Hardaway for supporting our show.
	You know where you do that.
	Dvorak.org.
	And everybody else, you've got a mission.
	It is to go out and propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	You.
	Word.
	Order.
	All right, say it loud and proud if you dare.
	Shut up, slaves!
	So, first of all, John, we need to play along with the media.
	Amen.
	America!
	We're spiking the football!
	America!
	We are America!
	USA! Yeah, fuck yeah!
	I can't help myself.
	That's unbelievable.
	Can I just say one thing, though?
	One thing that's kind of important when it comes to...
	The cheering human resources in front of the White House?
	You mean the guys that looked like their high school football team, which hadn't won in 10 years, finally beat the crosstown rival for once in a decade, and now they think they're number one, and all that was missing was the foam fingers?
	I'll tell you, so I had the same reaction at first, and then I thought about it, and I'm like, you know, hold on one second.
	Remember now, these are just slaves of the New World Order, human resources.
	These kids who are now in college were like seven or eight or nine years old when the big boogeyman brought down the Twin Towers in New York City on 9-11.
	I think, you know, I have a kid.
	You've got kids, John.
	So for them, this was truly the boogeyman.
	And, you know, if you're in college, and, you know, let's face it, Yeah, no, seriously.
	If you're in college and you're a kid and you're hanging out in your dorm room and you're drinking, obviously, because what else are you going to do?
	You know, I mean, we're not there for an education.
	And you're drinking because you know you're going to come out with $100,000 in debt that you can't get rid of.
	And then this happens.
	I mean, this literally is like the boogeyman.
	Guess what I caught?
	You know, if I sent you to Fox to watch that, right?
	I caught Fox looping it.
	Oh, of course.
	Well, there wasn't enough of it.
	They can't even keep the cameras live.
	I have it.
	I dubbed it off.
	It's looped.
	I'm sure you do.
	I'm sure you do.
	It's looped.
	Hey, guys, you don't have like a little bug in the corner that has the time that says White House and then you loop it?
	Yeah, and then Rachel Maddow was tweeting, Oh, everyone's celebrating in front of the White House.
	I see a beach ball.
	I'm like, really?
	No, she said that really?
	Yeah, she tweeted that.
	Her tweets are outrageously warmongerish.
	Oh, the entire MSNBC group that Ed Schultz, these guys are a bunch of bloodthirsty pricks.
	They love it.
	They love it.
	Oh, we killed him and shot him in the eye.
	We fled all over.
	This is great.
	Alright, so I just got to play one or two clips that just made me laugh out loud.
	And then we can move on.
	So ABC News is the best.
	I mean, I so appreciate what they are doing.
	Because, of course, they are completely compromised.
	They are getting full-on talking points.
	They have great animation.
	Someone put together like a whole...
	I don't know if you saw any of this, John, this whole animated sequence of how Osama was in bed and they came in and kicked his ass and they had the woman jumping in front of him.
	And the big thing now that, of course, lots of people are talking about is the stealth helicopter.
	Let me play this first, and then I want to talk, because I don't know much about nothing.
	I happen to know a little bit about aviation and helicopters.
	Well, good, because I have a stealth helicopter clip.
	Okay, so let's go with the stealth helicopter news report from ABC. Tonight, the elite Navy SEALs who took down Osama bin Laden are back on U.S. soil at Andrews Air Force Base.
	And our chief investigative correspondent, Brian Ross, tells us now about a secret weapon they may have used to change history in just 40 minutes.
	Secret weapon, change history.
	The last act of the Navy SEAL team before they left the bin Laden compound was to blow up the damaged helicopter that had to be left behind, setting off a huge fire.
	And now we know why that was so important.
	Aviation analysts say the remnants of the aircraft reveal they were part of one of the U.S. military's most closely guarded secrets, a stealth Black Hawk helicopter, whose existence was only rumored that had never been seen in public before.
	This is the first time that we've seen...
	It's always good, by the way, to rule out a British guy if he's supposed to be an expert, because then you don't question it.
	This is the first time we've ever seen a stealth helicopter.
	An operational stealth helicopter.
	The analysts say photos that emerged on the internet revealed this was no ordinary helicopter.
	But one of the things that really stands out is they have a little disc over the rotors, which is really designed both to baffle the sound and to deny radar signature.
	Neighbors in Abbottabad told ABC News they did not hear the helicopter Sunday night until they were directly overhead.
	So, now, this is the pertinent part.
	So, first of all...
	Stealth helicopter.
	Right.
	Okay.
	I saw these pictures, and obviously I saw a picture of a huge tail section, which, I mean, the size of this chopper compared...
	The tail section is three times the size of the guys in the picture.
	And the first thing I said is, movie set.
	There's no way that this is a true helicopter rotor blade.
	No way.
	The size of that thing and the size of the blades that were on the tail fin, no way.
	You can't provide enough torque with that.
	I don't care what you say.
	It's physically impossible.
	The thing looks like it's right off of the universal back lot.
	And then they pull out this.
	This is what a standard Black Hawk helicopter sounds like.
	This is the sound of an earlier experimental version of a stealth helicopter.
	I love this!
	And they have a little sound wave.
	John, have you ever heard a real stealth helicopter?
	Well, obviously I wouldn't.
	Let me play you the sound of a stealth.
	A real, true, I mean, a stealth helicopter sounds like this.
	I have...
	It took me quite a lot of covert operations to record this.
	That is the stealth helicopter sound.
	It's bull crap.
	Okay?
	It's bull crap.
	It doesn't exist like that.
	You cannot have it.
	Unless it is an anti-gravitational device, you can't make it silent.
	There's no such thing.
	It's funny you say stuff like that, but then you probably do buy into the anti-gravitational stuff.
	Well, yeah.
	I don't know what people must be thinking.
	So here's what I... I'm already immediately annoyed, of course, because this is the exact same clip I have.
	It was so stupid.
	Do you have the part where they're picking up the pieces of the chopper and the kids are taking them and putting them together and they're going to ship them to China?
	Yeah, that's the end of the clip.
	And this, of course, plays into the actual theory of what this is about.
	But then there was another one.
	Oh my goodness.
	Did you see the ABC News report about the Elite Seal 6 team?
	And who the shooter must have been, and they had this complete graphic rendering.
	Did you see this?
	No, but I can just imagine.
	The more we learn, the more impressed we are.
	We all want to meet these men and thank them because of how amazing this task was.
	Of course, for security reasons, we're not allowed to know.
	But here's what we do know.
	There are only 2,500 seats.
	This is great.
	75% of the men who try out to become one never make it.
	And only a very small slice ever make it to the elite team level, like Team Six.
	Have you ever heard of Team Six?
	Ever?
	Yeah, actually I have, but Team 6, there is no such thing as Team 6.
	It was dissolved in 1987.
	I didn't know that.
	That's great.
	I did all the research on this.
	Of course, of course.
	Team 6 is a...
	This is kind of part of my theory, the history of Team 6, but Team 6 doesn't exist.
	It's actually...
	There is an operation called GroupDev, which is...
	I think they're part of the web dev.
	Team 6 morphed into, but there is no Team 6.
	It's a myth.
	Okay.
	And it's kind of funny because a couple of the right-wing guys, I don't understand why they keep calling it Team 6.
	There is no such thing.
	And everyone thought he was kind of nuts.
	And the fact is, and everybody refers to it as Team 6.
	And by the way, coincidentally, there's a book coming out called Team 6.
	Team 6.
	Wait a minute.
	Go ahead.
	Go on.
	Wait a minute.
	Did you say coincidentally?
	I mean, please.
	Hit it.
	No, no.
	We're going to be playing that all show long if we don't watch it.
	So, of course, we all want to meet these guys.
	We all want to meet these big American heroes.
	One thing is for sure.
	Whoever pulled the trigger on Osama bin Laden was the best of the best.
	Oh, yeah.
	Now, so now they're going to go and talk to some slaves in a bar.
	This is funny.
	But then we get into the actual description of the best of the best.
	Overnight at Boneshaker Sports Bar.
	And by the way, that's where I'd go to talk to people from Team 6.
	Boneshaker Sports Bar.
	Damn next, Virginia, where Navy SEAL Team 6 trains.
	So wait a minute.
	So they're saying Navy SEAL Team 6 trains, but they don't exist.
	But you're training in the bone shaker bar.
	Locals toasted someone they may never know by name, but who could easily be their neighbor.
	So he'll be bragging about it tomorrow in bone shakers.
	Yeah, and there's a bunch of guys here at the bar, you know, like biker guys, right?
	These are good old boys going like, yeah!
	God bless the man that took the shot.
	He's going to live with that for the rest of his life.
	I'm proud of him.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I'm very proud of him.
	Right on!
	So what do we know about what he is like?
	We know the shooter is a he because all seals are men.
	He's probably about 30 years old.
	You hear the sound effects, John?
	You have like a rotating graphic image, and they're showing everything.
	Possibly a master's degree.
	No, he's a genius, by the way.
	He has a master's degree in physics.
	He's most likely white and may have a wife and children.
	Uh-huh.
	Why is he most likely white?
	What kind of a comment is that, bullcrap?
	No, that's because there's very few...
	They've been trying to diversify the Navy SEALs because there's been too many white people.
	Of course not.
	John, it's entertainment.
	This is what this is about.
	What am I thinking?
	What am I thinking?
	Please, why are you even trying to contradict this?
	Oh, I like that one.
	Oh, the double tap to the head.
	Nice little analogy there.
	The chest of America's most hated enemy is a perfect physical specimen.
	They have gazelle legs, no waist, and huge upper body.
	He has no waist?
	He's an ant?
	He has gazelle legs and no waist.
	Configuration.
	But he is also most likely hiding beneath a slightly disheveled exterior.
	Unlike other Navy SEALs, the member of SEAL Team 6 who killed Bin Laden is most likely not the clean-cut action figure you might imagine.
	Wow, that rules out Anderson Cooper.
	I thought I was going to be him.
	Ah, damn it.
	He probably uses modified grooming standards.
	I love the modified grooming standards.
	That's a coincidence because that's what I use.
	...beard and longer hair designed to help him blend in in places like Pakistan and Afghanistan.
	Yeah, here's a guy with gazelle-like legs.
	He's white.
	He's got a beard and therefore you can blend in in places like Afghanistan.
	That's why they have to be dropped by a chopper.
	If you've never met a Navy SEAL and you ran into one in a bar, you probably still wouldn't know he's a Navy SEAL. Former SEALs say this was definitely not his first mission.
	He may even have pieces of shrapnel or frag.
	He's got frag!
	I mean, they're pulling out everything now.
	He's got pieces of frag because, you know, this is like a hardened criminal.
	He eats nails for breakfast.
	Still in him from previous firefights.
	That's right.
	But inside, he has something special.
	A rare mental agility that allows him an unflinching nature in the most harrowing situations.
	They are basically...
	And then it just goes on from there.
	Yeah, it just...
	I would give that the clip of the day.
	Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Oh no, I'm sorry.
	No way.
	Not even close.
	I want to finish up my entertainment roundup.
	And I hate to do this to you.
	Go on.
	I have a clip from The View.
	Oh, but yeah, this clip has been played by everyone, but play it.
	Uh, really?
	These are more bloodthirsty women.
	And what is with all these peace nicks?
	What do you mean?
	Where are they?
	Yeah!
	Where are the peaceniks?
	They're the same people that were peaceniks like a few weeks ago during the Bush administration.
	I'm sorry, I'm still laughing at the gazelle-like legs and no waist.
	I can't handle it.
	So here's The View.
	Whoopi Goldberg reading off the television.
	By the way, The View is another ABC program.
	Death of Osama Bin Laden is still sending shockwaves.
	Woo!
	Yeah!
	And a photo has been released of the President, the Vice President, and the Secretary of State in the Situation Room, watching the...
	And by the way, Situation Room?
	I think not.
	That was like the Mevio Conference Room.
	Did you see that?
	Yeah, I only saw two pictures from it, but they were both ridiculous.
	It's not the situation room.
	It's just a conference room.
	It was a video conference room.
	Is Panama free tonight?
	Can someone look at the conference room schedule?
	We need Panama.
	...on video as it's happening.
	And it really captured, I mean, just how intense this moment must have been.
	Now, they have Betty White there, and now they're talking about Hillary.
	Yeah, I mean, the technology alone that allowed the president and his staff to actually...
	No, wait, wait.
	Whoopi can tell you exactly how it works.
	She knows how the technology works.
	It was on the helmet of one of the guys.
	Yeah, it had a Skype connection.
	It was on the helmet of one of the guys.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I cannot imagine the stress level.
	Knowing that it was going to happen in general, never mind watching it and hoping that these guys, knowing that they had the courage to go in there, that they were going to be able to pull it off and just, you know, praying for their safety.
	That had to be the most intense moment ever.
	What's so interesting is watching all of it, because it's all men, and then there's Hillary Clinton, the way the men are watching it, and I don't know if that's the horror that...
	No, but she's just, you know...
	She's got a hand over the mouth.
	The tension...
	Remember also, if something...
	If something...
	A feminine gesture.
	It's a feminine gesture, John.
	That's what that was.
	A feminine gesture.
	Oh my God, I'm watching the Skype videos from the helmet camera.
	I mean, do they really...
	Do you think they take themselves that seriously?
	They really think that's what's going on in that picture?
	Just in TV. Yeah.
	If something were to have gone wrong, which thank God it did not, you know, it would have been on him.
	Oh, yeah.
	Him.
	The chosen one.
	By the way, let's go over something.
	We might as well go over them as they come up.
	Okay.
	Which are these myths.
	This was such a dangerous possibility.
	Then they started harking back to Mogadishu and the Carter fiasco in Iran.
	And this analysis is completely bogus because those were enemy combat areas.
	This was Pakistan where our allies are.
	If anything bad happened, it would have been covered up by both parties and nobody would have ever known any of it.
	And I'd like to correct these idiots.
	There was another woman in the room, if you take a look at the picture.
	Did you catch who that was, John?
	The other woman in the back there?
	I don't remember, but who was it?
	Martha Quinn from MTV. Clearly, just look at the picture.
	Actually, it's Audrey Thomason, which no one knows anything about.
	She is the deputy home terrorism defense person.
	But it looked at me, when I saw it, I was like, my goodness, Martha Quinn, what is she doing in the situation room?
	Anyway, go on, get these clips out of there.
	Obama, so he's, you know, it's just, it's amazing.
	And Vice President Dick Cheney says that he assumes the enhanced interrogation program that the Bush administration...
	I can't even listen to this.
	I mean, so this, I just, I need to say one thing.
	Please.
	And I am overjoyed, by the way, at the No Agenda producers, which is what we call our listeners, because they are producers.
	Not a single one bought into this.
	From the get-go, I have received nothing but emails, postings on the NoAgendaNewsNetwork.com.
	No one believes it.
	And of course...
	You see that even the White House has to come back and change their story, and I think we can dissect why that is.
	This is one big show.
	The coup is final.
	The CIA, the military-industrial-intelligence complex has finally taken over the White House for good, and everything you see on television is just a part of the big show.
	Don't listen to any of it.
	It's not worth your time.
	So I find the memes that are cropping up are kind of interesting.
	One is this whoopee situation.
	A bunch of the left wing is all gung-ho, let's kill everybody.
	And the right wing is funnier.
	The right wing talk shows, and I'm including in that O'Reilly, Limbaugh, everybody.
	They have the one litany which goes as follows, and anyone listening to these shows will pick up on it immediately.
	One is that waterboarding is good, and this proves it.
	Yep.
	And we should thank Bush.
	Yes.
	Now, here's the funny thing about the thank Bush meme, which everybody's pushing.
	In fact, I have one clip I'm going to slip in, which is the Hannity says to say thanks.
	Thank Bush.
	I think it's pretty classic, typical.
	I'm sorry.
	I misfired.
	I had it, and then I misselected.
	Here we go.
	...tough interrogations, you know, the very things that he was referring to as torture, the very things that Eric Holder was investigating for possible prosecution of CIA operatives, without these things, this success would not have been possible on Sunday.
	So the question is, why can't the president graciously go out there, he's had a number of days now, and say thank you to President Bush for his part in creating the scenario under which this could happen?
	Because he's an employee of President Bush and he needs to just shut up and be thankful.
	Well, here's the joke of it.
	This has got nothing to do with what happened or didn't happen.
	It's just that if you're going to promote the concept which the Republicans have been doing for the last, I don't know, four, five, six months, that...
	The economy, everything is no longer part of any Bush administration.
	You can't keep blaming Bush for this and you can't keep blaming Bush for that in terms of the economy and the rest of it.
	You can't all of a sudden say, wait, wait, we've got to bring Bush back into the picture so we can thank him for something he couldn't accomplish in eight years.
	And the whole thing is just, these people are the worst.
	Including every one of them.
	Every one of the talking heads, left and right, the MSNBC and the Fox guys, are all pathetic.
	Not just them, but congressmen, senators, the entire administration completely co-opted.
	To me, this was such a massive awakening.
	Like, okay, they've finally done it.
	To me, this is not when it comes to loss of life, but this was as significant as 9-11.
	This has tipped everything.
	This changes the whole game, John.
	I don't think it's changed the thing personally.
	Oh, yes it has.
	Okay, well you go on with your theory then.
	Well now we finally know that President Obama is 100% puppet.
	He had nothing to do with this.
	This was not his call.
	This was Leon Panetta, the CIA, the newly shuffled around military industrial intelligence complex.
	Whatever they were doing, and I have some theories about that, they called the shots.
	Obama was out golfing!
	That's the picture in the situation where he's still in his golfing clothes.
	Because they didn't even ask him.
	They just went ahead and did whatever they wanted to do.
	And Valerie Jarrett has been consistently saying, No, no, no.
	No, no.
	We don't want to do this because if it goes wrong, it'll be blamed on him.
	Whatever you want to do, no, please don't do it.
	Obama has nothing.
	He's doing nothing, but he's a puppet.
	He comes out.
	He comes out and he does his speech.
	And you know what happens after that?
	After the television cameras are off?
	And I have this in an account from one of the photographers at the White House.
	So the cameras are off.
	Then Obama comes out again with the photographers there and does the first 30 seconds of the speech so they can take the beautiful pictures of him.
	The whole thing is staged.
	Everything is staged.
	Every single picture you see of the president giving this historic speech happened after he gave the speech because there were no cameras there because he would get distracted and might flub his lines.
	Right, and you would have seen flashing and there was none.
	There was none whatsoever.
	And it actually says that he came out, he did the first 30 seconds again like a do-over.
	Like a do-over on television.
	Yeah, let me just get that.
	We just need another angle from you there, Barack baby.
	Barry.
	The White House has been co-opted.
	I agree.
	Okay.
	Good.
	Because you can just watch what happens now.
	And this is...
	I might as well go all the way.
	This is, for so many different reasons, everybody benefits, except, of course, for the stupid human resources who believe this stuff.
	This is so we can get out of Afghanistan and go after our true enemies, which are Pakistan and China.
	I'm sure you came up with the same thesis.
	I have a twist on it because I'm not buying that completely, and I'll tell you why when you're finished.
	Okay, then I shall play the clip.
	I got very, very lucky.
	I'm sure it's another clip I have, but go on.
	Wolf Blitzer, April 28th?
	No.
	Okay, I got lucky.
	I saw this in the afternoon of April 28th on CNN, and I thought, wow, that's kind of interesting.
	And in hindsight...
	As I listen to it again, there's so much in here, it just blew me away.
	This is the ambassador to Pakistan, Hussein Haqqani, and this comes after the Wall Street Journal published a report which said that the Prime Minister of Pakistan had called up Karzai in Afghanistan and said, drop the Americans, screw those guys, we don't need them, they're only messing with us.
	Screw it.
	This was in the Wall Street Journal, and this did not go unnoticed by a lot of people, because this is Pakistan being a little uppity, if you will.
	So, Wolf Blitzer calls this guy in, and there's a lot of things that are interesting in how he, of course, immediately denies it, but something interesting popped up here.
	Always a pleasure.
	Why did your prime minister, Gilani, urge the president of Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai, effectively to dump the United States?
	First of all, Prime Minister Gilani and President Karzai have both denied the story.
	This is internal Afghan politics.
	There are Afghan factions that want to get rid of President Karzai.
	You're saying that these reports in the Wall Street Journal, our own reporting, Jill Doherty reporting from the State Department, quoting sources, Afghan sources, and others, saying that there was this urging from the Pakistani Prime Minister to dump the United States is a complete fabrication?
	It's a complete fabrication.
	In fact, President Karzai's own spokesman has denied it.
	As you will see, he says, first of all, the Pakistanis would never say such a thing, and if they did, President Karzai wouldn't do it.
	Everywhere there is politics.
	And in Afghanistan, the politics is to try and get the Americans on the side of whoever is the emerging faction.
	So people who don't like President Karzai want to make it seem as if President Karzai is not a reliable American ally.
	Here's from the Wall Street Journal.
	The headline, Karzai told to dump U.S. Mr.
	Gilani, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, told Mr.
	Karzai that the U.S. had failed both their countries and that its policy of trying to open peace talks while at the same time fighting the Taliban made no sense.
	Here's my question for you.
	So he doesn't answer that.
	Listen very closely.
	Where are Pakistan and Afghanistan going to go by dumping the United States?
	So, of course, we have a point here because the U.S. has given Pakistan $20 billion to basically combat terrorism.
	The fact of the matter is that Afghanistan is a country that needs the Americans to rebuild.
	Pakistan is a country that needs American assistance and support.
	Has the U.S. failed both countries?
	It certainly has not.
	Pakistan and the United States have some disagreements on the way forward.
	So do the Afghan leaders and the Americans.
	But very interestingly, only last week, it's very interesting that this story broke yesterday.
	Okay, so he's already saying there's some politicking going on.
	Very, very interesting.
	Interesting, this story only broke last week.
	Very interesting, because something very interesting is happening.
	My ears prick up.
	And only last week, Ambassador Grossman, who's Ambassador Holbrooke's successor, the Pakistani Foreign Secretary, agreed that we are going to try and create a trilateral mechanism.
	They're having a meeting in Islamabad on the 3rd of May.
	Oh, really?
	The 3rd of May?
	So one day after so-called Osama bin Laden is killed, Osama, There's supposed to be a trilateral meeting between Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United States with Mark Grossman.
	Do you know who Mark Grossman is, John?
	You're going to tell me.
	Has been in the Bush administration, has been in, of course, is now ambassador to Holbrook.
	He is a very interesting guy, connected to the Valerie Plame outing with the Bush-Cheney cabal.
	But also he sits on the board of directors of a number of interesting little lobbyist groups, such as the Cohen Group.
	The Cohen Group is probably the largest lobbyist for the military-industrial complex.
	And they have a very special practice in India.
	So this guy is out there saying...
	He's threatening these two countries because this is his job.
	This is what ambassadors do.
	He's saying, we're going to sell all this great stuff to India.
	I'm going to kick your ass unless you do exactly as we say.
	This guy is...
	We need to keep a very, very close look and close watch on Mark Grossman, who is...
	Completely there to threaten these countries.
	And I think that the timing of Osama bin Laden's assassination and this trilateral meeting, which of course was behind closed doors, there's only one little statement that was released by the State Department, is not a coincidence.
	We are expecting the Secretary of State to visit the region in the near future.
	Of course, we've got to go in there.
	We're going to threaten you.
	We're going to move in.
	And Admiral Mullen was in the region.
	He spoke to our military leaders.
	And on this particular issue, the head of CENTCOM and I have personally spoken, and we are very clear that this is just...
	Internal Afghan politics playing out in American newspapers.
	And be very careful, here comes the big meme alert.
	For the other disturbing part about this report in the Wall Street Journal and our other news organizations following up, Mr.
	Ghilani added that America's economic problems meant it couldn't be expected to support long-term regional development.
	A better partner would be China, which Pakistanis call their, quote, all-weather friend.
	Woo!
	Where have we heard that before, John?
	On our show.
	Uh-huh.
	The all-weather friend China.
	So, perhaps, maybe it wasn't such a good idea that Pakistan was muzzling up the China.
	Are they really doing that?
	Wolf Blitzer investigates.
	China is definitely an all-weather friend.
	He even says it.
	They are definitely an all-weather friend.
	There's a meme that they stick to.
	Pakistan is a friend of long-standing.
	However, we have never, and we have been friends of China since 1949.
	We were the country that helped the United States and China come close together.
	We have never looked upon the United States and China as rivals for our friendship.
	We have always respected both of them.
	And the United States is a key ally in the effort against terrorism.
	The relationship that you have with Afghanistan, right?
	Because it used to be tense with Musharraf and Hamid Karzai.
	I covered those.
	There were some pretty ugly moments.
	So I'm going to say that was the most important bits of this interview.
	Thank you, darling.
	This, once again, is Pakistan, another country that is muzzling up to China, the all-weather friend.
	The United States will have none of it.
	And we've got our guys in there...
	Let's not forget we had...
	Oh, actually, I should play this.
	Right now, you're saying it's better.
	It is a very warm relationship.
	And not only that...
	There's another little data point that we forgot.
	If you notice, Pakistan is also working very hard on building good relations with India, with whom we have had problems in the past.
	No, that's not going to happen because we have Mark Grossman there going to kick your ass.
	That has been a major obstruction for peace in the region.
	Look, we will have a lot of such stories as we move forward.
	The key thing is that all the key players, United States, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, understand that the way forward is we have to defeat some people in Afghanistan, and we have to engage some people in Afghanistan.
	Does the CIA coordinate the drone attacks against al-Qaeda's suspected targets?
	Now, should he answer this question?
	Taliban targets in Pakistan with your intelligence community?
	Well, that's a question that creates lots of problems in Pakistan politically.
	So I'm, with your indulgence, not going to answer it.
	All I'm going to say is...
	So the answer is yes.
	Yes, with your indulgence, I'm not going to answer it and you will not question me any further.
	That whatever we do, we want to move forward as partners and friends.
	Occasionally, there are things the Americans do.
	You heard about the case of the gentleman who killed two Pakistanis and...
	You mean the CIA agent?
	Bringing that up again.
	Broad daylight and created problems in our countries.
	Thank God we were able to resolve that within Pakistani law in accordance with our traditions and our religion.
	So, I'm saying that we're moving out of Afghanistan.
	Perfect, perfect reason to move out because of course we got him.
	We smoked him out.
	We killed him.
	We chopped his head off.
	The head is off the snake.
	So we can move out of Afghanistan and now we have a covert army and it's the same guys.
	We have the military and the CIA now completely colluding with each other and we can just spend billions or trillions of dollars on covert operations that cannot be questioned because these guys are awesome.
	And everybody wins.
	We get to kick Pakistan's ass.
	We get to sell all kinds of arms to India.
	We block China's efforts to expand into the region.
	Everybody wins, John.
	Everybody.
	Great setup.
	I'm just pissed we didn't predict this was going to happen.
	Well, it's because it's not.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Let me read.
	For one thing, here's what got me kind of suspicious about this whole we're going to leave Afghanistan thing.
	It began with, guess who's showing up?
	He shows up, and he shows up of all places.
	First of all, this is when I first caught wind of something weird is going on, and I have a clip.
	I have Haas...
	This is the president, the CEO of the Council on Foreign Relations, not some stooge.
	And he shows up on Colbert.
	Play this clip.
	...relations with Pakistan.
	Please welcome the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, Richard Haas.
	Richard, thank you so much for coming back.
	Good to see you.
	All right.
	All right, Richard.
	What does this mean for our relationship with Pakistan?
	This is probably the most difficult bilateral relationship we have.
	It was difficult before this.
	If possible, it's going to be even more difficult after this.
	What's so difficult about our relationship with them?
	We give them about a billion dollars a year, right?
	Plus what?
	Plus or minus, yeah.
	Plus taxes and tips, obviously.
	Were the Pakistanis chanting in the street, USA, USA, when this news spread?
	Unlikely.
	It's probably the most anti-American country I know.
	Look, this is bad because if the Pakistanis knew about this, if they knew about what bin Laden was doing there, why didn't they tell us?
	Why didn't they tip us off?
	And if they didn't know about this, why not?
	How could they possibly not know what's going on in their own country?
	Either way, either way, this is bad.
	Well, can we get out of Afghanistan now?
	Can we say, okay, that's why we went in, to get bin Laden.
	We got bin Laden now.
	Can we declare that we won and leave?
	It's actually, there's something to that in the sense that there's hardly any al-Qaeda left in Afghanistan.
	So the idea that we're there to fight al-Qaeda doesn't make a lot of sense.
	The idea that we're there in Afghanistan to make sure Pakistan doesn't get destabilized doesn't make much sense.
	Because Pakistan is harboring.
	The very terrorists were worried about.
	So I actually think the argument for staying in Afghanistan was weak and it's just gotten weaker.
	Wait a minute.
	Aren't we just saying exactly the same thing?
	This is exactly what I just said.
	Pakistan is the new enemy.
	Yeah.
	Oh, I thought...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	That's because this is a smoke screen.
	Yeah, of course it is.
	Now, let me just read you...
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Before you do that, I have a Colbert clip as well.
	Oh, play it.
	So, you had Richard Haas.
	Does it relate to what I'm going to say, which is we're not leaving Afghanistan?
	No, it does not, but it is a CIA operative, Francis Fukuyama.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Was he CIA? No, I'm sorry.
	No, no.
	Author Francis Fukuyama.
	He is a writer, and I think he was in the State Department.
	He was in the State Department, right.
	No, that's a different clip I was thinking about.
	But he was on Colbert, and he had this to say.
	When can I forget them?
	I think we're getting close to the point because I think the actual original argument for being in Afghanistan is weakening because it's really not...
	Same talking points, weakening.
	It's not Al-Qaeda that we're fighting there anymore.
	We're fighting a bunch of Taliban that are basically Pashtun nationalists and I think the logic of staying there forever is getting a lot weaker.
	Now that Bin Laden's head has been cut off the snake of Al-Qaeda...
	Will the snake writhe around for a while and still try to hurt people?
	How scared should I be and of what should I most be scared?
	Be afraid of the Chinese.
	I mean, the Chinese shoot down satellites in space.
	They hack into Google's computers.
	The Osama bin Laden people can't make their underwear blow up.
	I mean, how...
	All right.
	China, you're next.
	I like that one.
	Yeah, I actually had that one and killed it because it was, I think...
	It's more of the riling up the public kind of thing.
	Yeah.
	Of course, I just...
	Do you have anything else because I just closed...
	I want to hear what you want to say and then I have some CIA stuff.
	Yeah, of course I just closed my browser and screwed myself.
	Hold on a second.
	I've got documentation about it.
	Do you have the clip?
	Here's what I'm going to say.
	First of all, we're going to stay in Afghanistan...
	Because we keep overlooking the pipeline in Unicam.
	Well, let me just reiterate.
	Just like Iraq, where now Boehner has said, oh, we've got to stay in Iraq.
	Of course, we have a huge green zone.
	Of course we're going to stay there.
	It's going to look like we have troops coming home, flowers and everything.
	There still will be tens of thousands of troops and bases because of the pipeline and all that stuff.
	But it won't be like, we'll just pretend that it's not a war anymore.
	I'm in full agreement on that.
	Okay, well then you're not.
	And here's the clip that's kind of the kicker.
	First, this Haas guy.
	Do I have a second Haas clip on the list there?
	I don't see a second Haas.
	Oh yes, Haas in front of Congress?
	Yeah.
	So Haas goes in front of the, this is again, you know, it comes out and it's all, we don't need to be there.
	And it's all playing into the same scenario, which is that, yeah, we're going to look like we're leaving, but we can't because of Unocal.
	And I do have a quote I want to read.
	And Unocal is the big pipeline, which is what all of this started about in the first place.
	It started before 9-11.
	There's documentation that we already threatened the Taliban before 9-11 that we were going to come in and kick their ass if they didn't kick out.
	Apparently, it was an Argentinian oil company.
	They said, you stop dealing with them, you're dealing with our people, or we're coming in.
	And then, of course, after 9-11...
	I just have to play it once in a while.
	And so then that gave us the opportunity after 9-11 to go into Afghanistan and then clear the way for Unical and then also set up the poppy operation.
	So there's no way we're leaving Afghanistan.
	So anyway, so Haas goes up there and he makes a big thing for the public.
	So we go, oh yay, yay, yay, we don't need to be in Afghanistan.
	Because there's two things at play here.
	One is that I don't believe the Council on Foreign Relations and a lot of Congress are getting their fair share of under-the-table money from the oil companies.
	We're starting to see a lot of very interesting little anti-this, anti-that.
	Oh, the oil companies have got these huge tax breaks.
	I think we should pull the tax breaks from them.
	It's just threatening the oil companies left and right.
	Isn't that because we need campaign donations from the oil companies?
	Exactly.
	There's not enough.
	This is basically the same kind of, I don't know what kind of game to call it.
	Extortion.
	Extortion.
	Extortion game that people like Jesse Jackson and his operation and other groups do.
	They come in and say, look, we're going to look over your company.
	Oh, thank you for the donation, sir.
	And they leave.
	It's a legal form of extortion.
	And so the oil companies have not been paying their fair share, and now we're making their life miserable, including this taxing.
	And by the way, there's something very funny about this.
	Oh, they get $3 billion in tax benefits.
	Why is that?
	We should just pull these.
	And then, of course, the counterargument to balance it so that oil companies know we can go either way with this is to say, yeah, but it's just going to be passed on to the consumer.
	Well, I think...
	Wait a minute.
	That's American tax money.
	These are international companies.
	What's going to be passed on to the consumer is going to be passed on to the consumer internationally.
	And it's not really going to be passed on to the American consumer as much as it is the world consumer.
	So it's a plus for the Americans there.
	There is a small little thing that happened amongst all of this, which you will not see reported on most of the mainstream news, is today, Glencore, the Mark Rich-founded company, Mark Rich, who was indicted on 43 counts of fraud, was eventually pardoned by a President Bill Clinton on his last day in office, he went to Zug, Switzerland, started Glencore, the largest oil company, holding company of millions of different companies.
	They went public today in London.
	This thing is rife, rife with people who are convicted of fraud, all kinds of indictments against them.
	And you know that Billy Boy and a lot of these elites all have shares in this thing.
	This is a bonanza.
	I think the company is now valued at $61 or $62 billion.
	And confirmed just today alone in the public filings, six people have become billionaires just based upon this IPO. So there has been a payoff.
	I think you're probably right.
	A lot of the CFR guys weren't in the deal.
	They weren't in the pre-IPO shares.
	So they want their money somewhere.
	I want to read this quote before we go back to Haas, which I found again.
	This is from the Dawat Free Media out of Afghanistan.
	I spent most of my research reading material from the Middle East rather than American news sources.
	Yet perhaps the most obvious smoking gun of the U.S. planned war well in advance of 9-11 manifests it.
	And this is the data points that people can go look up.
	at a Berlin conference during July of 2001, whereupon U.S. officials informed the Foreign Secretary of Pakistan, Naiz Nalik, or Naik, N-A-I-K.
	He's the former what of Pakistan?
	Foreign Secretary.
	Okay, yeah.
	Would be Hillary.
	Yes.
	That the U.S. would attack Afghanistan before the snow flies in October, also president in an indisputable, independent, and verifiable cornucopia of exculpatory...
	This guy's kind of a ridiculous writer.
	Evidence were threats issued to Taliban emissary Syed Ratamoula Hashemi in February of 2001 while in Washington to discuss.
	He was in Washington, by the way, to discuss progress on the ongoing pipeline negotiations between U.S. oil giant Unocal and the Taliban.
	When Washington became aware that the Taliban were seen to be favoring Brita's, an Argentine company, Taliban's emissary was forthwith and in unmistakable terms threatened with bombing.
	State Department Christina Rocha advised Hashemi that you either accept our offer of gold or we bury you in a carpet of bombs.
	Nice!
	People must remember that this program has, you and I, have one assertion.
	Everything in the world is about oil.
	And if you think that what you put in your car or what we put in our airplanes, that that's really it, no.
	I mean, oil is everything.
	Oil is...
	The entire agricultural sector could not exist without oil.
	It's in all of the herbicides, pesticides.
	Oil is everywhere.
	It's in every single product.
	The petrochemical industry is so much larger than just what you burn in your car.
	It is all about oil.
	Everything in the world is, at the end of the day, about oil.
	At least the way you set it up now.
	And we want to make sure to mention one more thing.
	We don't necessarily think that's a bad thing.
	No, not at all.
	I mean, we need oil.
	But we are interested in the truth, and this is what we're trying to seek here.
	Now, play Haas.
	When he goes in front of Congress, and this is Dick Durbin, who's concerned about the fact that we're going broke with these programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and then he, this is a long testimony, you're only going to play the beginning of it, but just play this first part.
	When you look at a $10 to $12 billion monthly payment by American taxpayers, much of which is being wasted, and sadly, portions of which are being diverted to fund our enemy, you have to ask yourselves, how long can we sustain this?
	Mr.
	Haas, I read your testimony, and I was really kind of cheering you on until I got to the last paragraph, and I've got to ask you about it.
	Because here's what you said.
	Resolution of the ongoing conflict by either military or diplomatic means is highly unlikely and not a realistic basis for US policy.
	Walking away from Afghanistan, however, is not the answer.
	I want to ask you about that.
	If this is about money, then clearly spending it or wasting it is very hard to justify.
	But it's about a lot more.
	If you believe that resolution of this conflict by military means is highly unlikely and not a realistic basis for U.S. policy, how can we send one more American soldier to fight and die in Afghanistan?
	I can't wait to hear this.
	Good question and a fair question.
	I do not believe that U.S. interests, to the extent they exist in Afghanistan, require a resolution of the conflict.
	That's good news, because we're not going to get a resolution of the conflict.
	But we can maintain or protect ourselves or protect our core interests.
	Our core interest, again, is Afghanistan ought not to be a launching pad for terrorist attacks against us or the world.
	We can do that, I believe, with a degree of counterterrorism presence and activity and a degree of limited focus training on Afghan local and national troops.
	I believe we can protect our core interests with a modest investment decision.
	Our core interests.
	I love this, John.
	This is great.
	That's why I'm trying to come up with not the proverbial middle course, because it's actually closer to one end than the other, but I don't believe the answer is withdrawal.
	So, those of us, many of us who face this vote...
	Wait, what was the vote?
	They're going to vote on continued funding or something.
	I actually don't know.
	Two votes on Iraq and Afghanistan.
	Oh, okay.
	So, right, got it.
	23 of us voted against the invasion of Iraq.
	I continue to believe that was the right vote.
	I voted for the invasion of Afghanistan.
	And I voted for it to go after Al-Qaeda for what they did to us on 9-11.
	Al-Qaeda!
	And to find, and if necessary, kill Osama bin Laden.
	Squirrel!
	Now here we are, almost ten years later.
	And I have to tell you, if you would have asked me whether I was signing up for the longest war in American history, which has no end in sight even after the killing of Osama bin Laden, I would have to seriously say that wasn't the bargain.
	That isn't what I thought I was voting for.
	He's clearly not at the right cocktail parties.
	No, no.
	He's not in the loop.
	He is not in the right crowd, Mr.
	Durbin.
	Although he might be, and this may all be posturing again to threaten the oil companies that, look, we're going to leave and you guys are going to be screwed.
	And by the way, that pipeline of yours?
	Screwed.
	Fuck you, because it's going to be whatever it is.
	So the point is that we don't really know what's behind all this, and Dick Durbin's been around for such a long time that I have a hard time believing that he can't be part of it.
	I just want to mention one other thing about the oil.
	Of course, we recall that a little over a year...
	Was it a year ago now that the entire Polish government was wiped out in a fog and just bad aviation skills?
	Was that more than a year ago now?
	They just had that celebration?
	Well, guess what?
	Today, the first Nord Stream oil pipeline went into operation, completely bypassing Poland, going right through their territorial waters, now shipping oil from Russia straight into Europe without going through Poland and a couple other key states.
	It's all about the oil.
	Everything.
	And not just to put in your car.
	We need oil for everything.
	Including my hair.
	So the way this is going to go is they're going to end up doing a deal with the Taliban, which is against everybody's...
	Everyone who understands the mechanisms, this guy Kagan did a – who was very – I got a clip from him but not on this show.
	And even in the back channel, the Iranian back channel, they say you don't want to do a deal with these guys because they're double dealers and they're creeps and they're probably irked about this earlier threats anyway.
	But that's what the way this is kind of had – Because I think you're dead on.
	They're going to make it look like we're leaving and we're not leaving.
	And it's still going to be costing us a lot of money.
	But we're just basically paying protection money for that pipeline.
	And the oil companies aren't coughing up enough.
	Extra cash to the coffers of the Congress and the other people who need their bribes.
	And that's why all this is taking place.
	To make it clear to the oil companies that we can drop them like a hot potato if they don't get their act together.
	Because look at all those profits.
	It's all you hear on all the night.
	Oh, the oil company profits are unbelievable.
	No, if you're making that kind of money, you better be spreading it around.
	And of course, the United States has 900 bases around the world.
	We still have our bases in Japan and Germany from World War II. It's what we do.
	And if you don't like it, and I don't like it, then you've got to make your voice heard.
	We have to vote every single one of these mega jabronis out of office.
	We really do.
	And quite frankly, I think we just have to, we're doomed.
	We're doomed.
	There's no way we can stop this.
	The president, the total puppet president and his handler, Valerie Jarrett, completely just like, oh, okay, we'll do whatever you tell us to do.
	So let's cut to this.
	I mean, we could go on with this theory for a while, but since we're running, you know, this show is going to be, we're going to have to carry on a lot of this on the Sunday show, but let's go to the Osama.
	I almost said Obama, by the way.
	Let's go to the fun stuff.
	Is he dead or alive?
	He's been dead since 2002, probably.
	Well, if you want to play...
	Well, I have a clip.
	Oh, how coincidental.
	I figure it's one of our listeners.
	This is on C-SPAN, and I love C-SPAN because they take these calls from crazy people.
	Uh-huh.
	And play the C-SPAN clip.
	I don't have the name of it.
	It's a Republican call-in line?
	A Republican caller.
	Let's go to the phones from Michigan.
	Richard joins us.
	Republican line.
	Hi.
	Good morning, Richard.
	Good morning.
	Hi, you're on the air.
	Okay, I got a question for your guest.
	He's been over there in the Arab countries and he was in the army and everything else, so he surely knows that bin Laden died in 2001 and that this whole thing is just an incredible propaganda stunt and the media is complicit in it and it's time for America to start seeing through this stuff.
	I wish he would just stand up right now and be a patriot And just say, hey man, you're being lied to.
	This guy was dead.
	He was murdered.
	Benazir Bhutu in her candidacy before she was murdered.
	And she was murdered.
	And we allowed that to happen because we supported the other guy.
	Well, the caller's question...
	By the way, I heard click.
	Did you hear the click?
	I heard the click on the call.
	I heard the click.
	Yeah, that was the end of him.
	Some of the things I think you'll hear a lot of.
	There will be rumors, not just within the Arabic-speaking world, but also within the United States and elsewhere, that Hassan bin Laden is not really dead.
	That Ahsan bin Laden was killed years ago, and this is just propaganda.
	I can assure the caller that I spent a good deal of my life trying to capture or kill Ahsan bin Laden, and it was long after 2001.
	So, unfortunately, we have not been able to be successful until just now.
	And we can thank our special operating forces.
	Right.
	Thank them all.
	And by the way, I have huge respect for everyone in the military and the CIA because people are just co-opted and segregated.
	What's the word I'm looking for when you only have half of the information?
	I don't know.
	What's the word you're looking for?
	Well, if I knew it, then I'd say the word.
	Oh.
	They only get pieces of information.
	No one gets the whole picture.
	No one has the whole story.
	And they're all doing it out of patriotic reasons.
	But everyone's just being played.
	Completely being played.
	And it's a small little team.
	Small little team of people who are just really running the show.
	Well, they're doing a great job.
	They're doing a fantastic job.
	And there's a lot of benefits to this.
	The benefits are, of course, the entire defense and the homeland defense machine.
	Lucy Napolitano is really fantastic.
	Here's a report from CBS News.
	I got it offline, and it's funny because when I take clips from offline...
	I have to restart the web page and then start my recording.
	And every single time I hit this clip, the same pre-roll came in front of it.
	This is the pre-roll before I got to the CBS clip.
	It's a bus.
	Don't assume it was left by accident.
	If you see something, say something.
	Every single time this clip was about to play, this pre-roll ran.
	I'm like, isn't it amazing?
	Yeah, because people out there should, you should explain to them how pre-rolls generally work with any sort of media.
	They are randomly put into a playlist, but they're not just, you just keep seeing the same one over and over.
	It's been stuck there for a reason.
	Yeah, and there's tags in the media, in the actual media file associated, so these pre-roll networks know what to put in front of it.
	It just kept playing this one over and over again, but it was completely married to this clip.
	Terrorism experts say a retaliation attack for Osama bin Laden's death is inevitable.
	Oh!
	Gets better.
	Here's another little prediction we made.
	...for more vulnerable soft targets like shopping malls, even museums.
	Soft targets, John.
	Here we go.
	Oh, they're going to bomb the art museum.
	Soft targets, so we need to be scanned everywhere, slaves.
	Get ready for it.
	CBS 2's Hazel Sanchez reports.
	They are places jam-packed with people.
	Pedestrian malls, shopping centers, and stadiums.
	Yeah, I feel safe, but of course, in the back of my head, I know that things can happen.
	By the way, so for some reason, CBS didn't get anyone on who they interviewed who said this is bull crap.
	It's amazing how that works.
	Where's the balanced reporting?
	This is bullcrap.
	Why would that be?
	Wait, hold on a second.
	This violates all the rules of terrorism.
	Yeah, it can't be less dramatic.
	How stupid is that?
	You don't go blow up the local chamber of commerce or the old lady's home.
	They don't need soft targets.
	They've got some expert from New York who'll explain, John.
	Don't worry about it.
	If you're confused, don't worry.
	The Ministry of Truth is in full operation.
	Focusing instead on soft targets like hotels, places of worship, and mass transit hubs.
	How mass transit hubs?
	I think we need some x-ray machines at the mass transit hubs.
	It's easier, less complicated for them to carry out.
	What they're going to achieve...
	This is an Israeli security expert.
	If they're successful, it's to kill as many people as possible.
	Security consultant David Bohm says the future could include security checkpoints entering all soft targets.
	Yay!
	All soft targets, including Whole Foods.
	I cannot wait.
	It's going to be awesome.
	Like your local department store, Bohm says even with a police presence, the areas are vulnerable.
	The reason they're called soft is because it's so easily accessible to anyone.
	There has to be security checks for the safety of all people.
	Added security is a turnoff for some New Yorkers.
	Oh, oh, oh, we have a balanced voice here.
	There's a police presence and they search someone with a backpack.
	Somebody who looks not really suspicious, but it's random.
	So I would go if that is the case.
	Where was she against that?
	What was that all about?
	Yeah, it was completely bogus.
	Totally.
	This used to be the Tiffany News Network, ladies and gentlemen.
	If everyone is being searched.
	It's better to be safer than sorry.
	Oh, better safe than sorry!
	Say something!
	Say something!
	Better be safe than sorry!
	Just take your man's blood!
	Yeah!
	Just take your man's blood!
	There's more.
	Despite the challenges to secure high volume soft targets like here in Times Square, security experts say one of the best lines of defense already exists and doesn't cost a thing.
	What could that be?
	What could it be?
	We are millions and millions of eyes and ears.
	We need to assist each other and keep each other safe.
	Freedom, coming with an increasingly heavy price.
	In Midtown, Hazel Sanchez.
	Oh, Hazel.
	Oh, Hazel.
	Soft target security is a long-standing practice in Israel.
	Yeah, of course.
	Oh, my goodness.
	It's here.
	This was so good in so many ways.
	This is why I'm, you know, John and I did talk for like two minutes when this came down.
	Well, let me explain the two-minute talk.
	The first thing, the news breaks, I get a phone call.
	And this is the extent of our conversation, exchanging information.
	It went like this.
	Adam, I said, hello?
	This is Adam.
	He didn't say it, but he says, can you believe this bull crap?
	Yeah.
	And then he hangs up.
	And then I call back and say, they've got a scalp!
	But of course, we don't have a scalp, because we didn't know yet that he'd been thrown in the ocean, that we didn't have a picture, we're not going to show the picture.
	Which, by the way, what's that douchebag's name, the New York Times journalist who was on the road with Clooney?
	I have no idea.
	Anyway, so he was on last night with Pierce Morgan.
	I didn't get a clip from it.
	And also on was Alan Dershowitz.
	And the douchebag from the New York Times is saying, you know, if it doesn't benefit the country, if the president thinks that we shouldn't show the picture, then we shouldn't do this.
	Like, are you insane?
	Are you absolutely insane?
	The New York Times would probably, it wouldn't be in the interest of the United States, so we wouldn't publish the picture.
	And I have to say, Alan Dershowitz was like, you can't, this is like First Amendment.
	It's like, no way, the president has no right to determine what the American public can or cannot see.
	And this is not being questioned except by some 80-year-old lawyer.
	It's unbelievable.
	Actually, Napolitano is on the same side of that argument.
	In fact, I have a clip for the end of the show, which is Napolitano going...
	Napolitano's the only one on Fox who didn't get on the band.
	Oh, and Andrew Napolitano.
	Judge Napolitano.
	Judge Napolitano.
	I thought you meant Lucy.
	I was like, what?
	How can that be?
	I know, I had some mistakes.
	I should say Judge Napolitano.
	Anyway, he came on, and he's the only one that wasn't on script, which I think is not a good thing to do at this point for Fox.
	Not if he wants the primetime Glenn Beck spot.
	He's trying to get the Glenn Beck spot, but we'll see.
	Whatever the case was, he was the only one that questioned the legality of the action, if the action actually took place, and the whole thing.
	Very different than the rest of the Foxers, which we're all saying.
	Their whole thing was, waterboarding is great, this proves it, and why don't you thank Bush, he's the one who shot.
	It sounds like Bush had the gun.
	Yeah, but anyway.
	We had Uguy and Ubalay and Dugaday, you know, the Saddam Hussein sons.
	Yeah, Ugi and Uni.
	Ugini and Adi, and we showed those pictures, and we had the video of the so-called Saddam Hussein hanging, which now, of course, we know...
	By the way, did you notice, this is one thing I thought we might bring up, which is that this all happened right coincidentally when the Saddam Hussein tape came out and it could have gotten a lot of attention.
	Oh yeah, oh yeah.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	No, there was a lot of things that happened.
	I will also, unfortunately, have to make just a minor prediction in the second half of the show stuff, but we have the NLE 2011, the national level exercise, coming up on May 16th.
	So this thing will be dragged out for another week or 10 days, and we have the Army Corps of Engineers blowing up...
	The levees in the south flooding all of that land there.
	We're going to have earthquakes.
	We're going to have a massive, massive new distraction on our hands right after this.
	I mean, the playbook is so clear to me.
	You can just see it happening.
	It's like, we have this.
	We'll carry this on for a while.
	Forget Libya.
	No one cares about that.
	Algeria.
	You know, all the stuff that's happening.
	And then we're going to have this massive, natural, quote, disaster that's going to take place in the United States.
	I have two clips, and this is about the CIA and the media.
	Actually, three clips.
	So completely linked together.
	It's just astounding.
	So the first clip is from KQRS, the morning show.
	I'm just going to play the first bit, and if we want to play more of it on Sunday, we can.
	This is Vince Flynn.
	This is the former CIA operative.
	Who has something very interesting to say.
	I think he has a new book out.
	Of course, everyone's promoting books.
	Movies, books, the whole thing.
	Everyone's jumping on the bandwagon.
	Here's what he had to say about this little thing that happened in Abad Abidabadabad.
	In any case, this whole Bin Laden thing.
	I got a call this morning from Commander Flynn.
	His brother is still active in the military.
	These are lifetime career spooks.
	Your brother Timmy, who reads me page 28 of Memorial Day, your book.
	It's word for word.
	What happened?
	Yeah, it's kind of eerie.
	It's weird.
	That scene, it's one of the opening chapters of Memorial Day.
	Basically, what happens is the CIA and JSOC decide that they've got a high-value target on the wrong side of the border, and they're going to go get them, and they're not going to tell Pakistan because they can't trust them.
	And they launch the Chinooks and the Pavehawks, and they go in with the SEAL teams and the Delta Force.
	And what was really bizarre out of that deal is I find out from Porter Goss, who at the time was the director of the CIA, That he and General McChrystal had read that scene.
	This is fantastic stuff.
	So, you know, they actually take the page right out of the playbook.
	This stuff was kind of good.
	That's free consulting.
	Yeah, no, totally.
	The guy should get a bonus.
	It inspired them to put together a very similar operation that they were going to run back in the middle of the last decade.
	And they were 90% sure that it was Zawahiri.
	Just a little throwback here.
	If you look at the Pakistani press, and there's plenty of links in the show notes that are just bulging with these links, the Pakistani press is actually reporting exactly the opposite.
	That the Pakistanis went into the compound.
	They were the ones that dragged somebody out.
	They got some kind of operative.
	They blew up something there.
	And then after that, the US helicopters came in and took somebody out.
	So it's exactly upside down, reverse world from what we're being told.
	I did not get that from any Pakistani source.
	Oh, I have it from tons of Pakistani sources.
	Did you get it from any of the real ones?
	I mean, there's only two or three real ones.
	Who knows, right?
	I mean, it's Pakistani websites.
	Okay, I have my own theory about this whole thing, which I'll reveal shortly.
	Let me play.
	This was from our National Treasure.
	This was Lawrence Wright, another author, who has also done some movies.
	And this is just how the CIA operates in Hollywood, which is really important because what you're seeing on television is Hollywood.
	I think it was in 2006 the CIA came to me to write a scenario, in their words.
	What would we do if we got bin Laden?
	Because this has been a subject of concern within the intelligence community.
	What if we did get him?
	How would we treat him?
	Where would we take him?
	Would it be better to take him alive or dead?
	Because I had written this movie, The Siege, Hollywood had done a somewhat better job of connecting the dots about More terrorism and the threat to America than the intelligence community.
	The CIA was reaching out to screenwriters.
	Did you get a call, John?
	Did you get a call from the CIA? No, I don't understand.
	Maybe I missed it.
	It might be in my spam box.
	Look at my call list here.
	As I had done.
	And I said, well, you know, I'm a reporter.
	I can't go writing screenplays for the CIA. This is so awesome, this.
	I'll tell you in the form of an op-ed for the New York Times, what I think, if we were able to catch bin Laden, first of all, remember that bin Laden is the most famous man in the world.
	He's going to be one of the most famous men in history.
	So if you have the good luck to catch him, you have to deal with the legacy, not just the man.
	By the way, that was the thing that kind of took me on to the Obama-Osama thing.
	If the most famous man in the world is Osama, it's kind of like you want to do a rip-off to have another famous person, and there's nothing better than to kind of come up with the same name.
	It's done in marketing all the time.
	Go on.
	And if you catch him, don't kill him.
	Because he'll become a martyr, which is what he seeks to be.
	Anyway, so that's a very long clip.
	You can listen to that.
	Yeah, that's a long clip.
	Well, it goes on forever.
	I think we should take a quick break.
	Are you still on the same topic?
	I need to laugh, because Rachel Maddow was on Jon Stewart.
	You're always giving me nothing but grief if I even mention her name, let alone have a clip.
	Well, it's a clip of her and Jon Stewart.
	She comes on Jon Stewart with her glasses.
	You know, she has to look intelligentsia.
	She always has the black...
	She's so intimidated by him, it's ridiculous.
	But she...
	It was so...
	The point of this clip is...
	The media is pre-informed about everything.
	They have the equivalent of what in Gitmo Nation East they call a D-notice.
	You can't say anything about it.
	But she's actually propagating our memes throughout the entire interview.
	Short Cliff.
	Now, if you may, very quickly.
	Can you confirm that?
	This is about Bin Laden being dead.
	Can you confirm that, Jon Stewart asks.
	As we saw.
	No, but that's why, you know, immediately, you are talking about the objective reality that you live in.
	I turn on the news, and immediately you do have people saying, well, is he dead?
	And, you know, it's awfully weird.
	Do you think he did it to distract from the birth certificate?
	And you immediately...
	You think to yourself, really, that's what's living in your head?
	Is that...
	Are you that...
	Just insane.
	The idea that the birth certificate is the real story and Osama Bin Laden is the distraction from it tells you everything you need to know about the people who are really invested in the birth certificate story.
	If you think that Osama Bin Laden is the distraction that America needs...
	The distraction!
	Does she even hear what she's saying?
	This is all distraction.
	She's terrible, by the way.
	Yeah, I didn't realize until they fired, what's his name, Obermiller, how bad she is.
	Because I think he segued into her show and kind of softened her a little bit and made it seem that she was not nuts.
	But this is a nut, yeah.
	She just doesn't work at all.
	She's not going to last.
	I mean, I can't even watch her show anymore.
	She's, um...
	You know, so another win of this whole thing is we get to call everyone a conspiracy theorist.
	I continuously hear conspiracy theories.
	You're crazy.
	Oh, I got a better one.
	This has been all set up.
	Play my Krauthhammer clip where it's not just conspiracy theory.
	There's another word we keep overlooking.
	Release them.
	You have to release them because otherwise the whole thing looks a little bit cooked.
	Not to us who are rational, but in the Middle East, which lives.
	But they'll still say it's Dr.
	Charles.
	I mean, no matter what you do, you're going to have the kooks out there saying it was Dr.
	Charles.
	No, no, I'm not talking about, I'm not speaking about the kooks.
	I'm talking about ordinary discourse in the Middle East.
	That's good, that's good.
	Where were the kooks?
	I saw someone...
	I saw someone else, because what they're saying now is the entire Middle East is built upon conspiracies.
	They're crazy out there because they don't believe their government.
	This is a new meme.
	Like, the Middle East, they don't believe their government.
	And I heard some guy, I missed getting the clip, he said, the Middle East is like, it's a whole region of dark-haired Donald Trumps.
	I'm like, what?
	What?
	Dark-haired Donald Trumps?
	Are you kidding me?
	Listen to Maddo propagate the formula a little bit more, though, and then we'll move on.
	I think that puts that in the proper perspective.
	Yeah, the whole, like, if we don't see the pictures, none of us will ever believe that he's dead thing is a country that I don't recognize.
	And you'll see that if they show the pictures...
	Well, then where are you living, biatch?
	You see, this shadow was photoshopped, and so you can tell...
	It doesn't really do that.
	Did they tell you guys before the president made his speech what had happened?
	Did everyone know?
	She's about to lift the lid on how the news media actually functions.
	She doesn't even realize what she's saying.
	We had an understanding of what the president was going to announce.
	Not that far out in advance.
	What does that mean, not that far out?
	Probably half a day.
	I mean, nobody had advance planning notes for Sunday night, something's going to happen.
	It wasn't like that at all.
	But once it was clear that the President was going to make an announcement, then people started getting worried about what the general content of that was going to be.
	Right.
	It was funny to watch people be so coy, because you knew they knew, and so they would go out, I can tell you that it's CIA. It involves a very skinny man, a skinny man...
	How can they sit here and laugh about the news media that is completely controlled by the government and won't say anything because Barack Obama has to come out and do his little show?
	How can they actually laugh about that?
	If this happens, I mean, shouldn't you just be on the air immediately reporting this?
	No, no, we'll shut up and we'll just wait until the president has made his announcement.
	Otherwise, he doesn't get the ratings.
	He has to time it to kick Donald Trump off the air.
	I mean, this is crazy.
	Or am I just not?
	It's pathetic.
	No, you're right.
	It's not crazy.
	It's pathetic.
	Yeah, thank you very much. thank you very much.
	This is the Sanco de Mayo show, obviously.
	We're doing nothing but talking about Mexican history.
	Let's begin with Dwayne Cawthorn, who's in Austin, Texas.
	Thank you for the show.
	Keep up the good work.
	$111.11.
	He's got a – oh, he's talking about the birthday formula, which you might want to reiterate, Adam.
	Yes.
	Can you explain the birthday formula that resulted in him giving us $111.11?
	Yeah, this is for some super extra.
	Dr.
	Karma, this only happens once every 823 years, where if you take the age that you either are or will become in this year, along with your birth year, the last two digits, you add that together, it will be 111.
	This is a very special year.
	Very holistic, if you will.
	This is for big super karma, so you can join our $11.11 a month program, or you can become an instant knight such as Stephen McGrath with your $1,111.11.
	Not only does that math work to $111, but this is the year that we have 11-11-11, which doesn't happen...
	That's right.
	That's right.
	And that happens in, well, it's happened three times in your lifetime, I think, right?
	Weird year, including the death of Osama bin Laden.
	Osama.
	Osama.
	Obama bin Baba.

	Second time donor here.
	Could you please plug my Mac App Store application Packet Scope?
	You want to check that out for your show?
	Yep.
	Search for PacketScope.
	No, that's a Mac app.
	It's not an iPhone app.
	Oh, it's not a Mac app.
	No, it's a Mac app, not an iPhone app.
	Okay, go to PacketScope.info.
	It's created with a no-agenda producer and hosts in mind to check to see if the government's spying on you or to check to see if you have porn downloading in the background.
	It lets you feel like a real techno expert.
	Well, I don't need an app to tell me that's happening.

	We missed that one.
	Yeah, that would have been a good giving opportunity.
	Oops.
	Yep, and so Pell's markers hit it.

	By the way, my last name is pronounced Lasko, but in Gitmo Nations, Hungary, it's pronounced Lachko.
	Got some karma with my first donation.
	Probably suffered a bout of kidney stones.
	Well, don't get any more karma from us.
	Nick McNeil...
	He wanted a dedouching.
	Hold on.
	You've been dedouched.
	Sorry, the way he wrote that, it looked like a Polish word.
	I didn't pay any attention to it.

	I wanted to be wishing Katerina Hogg, female listener number 11, a happy birthday on May 6th.
	Her only wish of seeing John at Montgomery Market came true one day.
	Oh, Monterey Market came true.
	Really, she saw me at Monterey Market.
	Interesting.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Is that the hottie that you saw that came up to you?
	No, that was New York, right?
	That was New York.
	No, this hottie didn't come up to me.
	Of course, I would have...
	It's a long story about Monterey Foods.
	Yeah, not that interested.
	Jonathan Plant.
	Well, you know what bothers me?
	You go there and there's old ladies and they got these penny purses.
	And they're trying to check out and they got to get exact change.
	So they're digging and digging and digging to get the penny out of the purse.
	Those old people.
	I hate them.
	And then they bring their own bags, which are grimy old cloth bags.
	Oh, the horrors.
	And they shove the vegetables off.
	But soon we'll have to shove them all through the naked body scanner when they go into the market.
	So it'll be even worse.

	Don't deserve, but a D-douche would be cool.
	You've been de-douched.
	And we have a couple, three actually, $50 donors.
	There's Nichelle Moore, Robin Durden, and finally, Sir Chris Geelan, who says, or wants me to say, Uchna Show 300, Heben, John, and Adam, Jussten Nodig.
	What?
	You know, in Holland, you would never get laid.
	laughs Ook na show 300 hebben John and Adam jouw steun nodig.
	Steun, oh, okay.
	Yeah, so that means...
	Thank everyone who donated that level in every place.
	Even after show number 300, John and Adam need your support souls.
	Ah.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	So that's it.
	That's a shorter list than would have been nice.
	We have a lot of good small donations that came in.
	I love those.
	It warms my heart to see the $5 a month donations.
	Please check if you have that because PayPal mysteriously seems to kick that off with a lot of people.
	Every single show, there's one or two that have just lost, that just go away.
	Maybe even more than that.
	So check if you have that.
	We have the 1111.
	There's an entire page that you can find.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. And I think we certainly earned our keep for this program, John.
	I spent...
	And I had a corporate...
	Schlong sucking session to make ends meet.
	So I was doing this in between all this other stuff I was doing.
	But it was like, I don't think I slept more than four hours a night just for all the stuff I had to go through and just route through all of the BS in the first couple of days to get to some of the real information.
	You know, like this, that ambassador that, what's his name again?
	I don't care.
	She will care, my friend.
	Are you kidding me?
	We do have a request for a...
	Grossman.
	Mark Grossman.
	How can you say you don't care?
	You know, I'm just joking.
	Okay.
	We need a Hot Pockets call out for Quentin out there.
	All right.
	Three-year-old.
	So let's get, that was it.
	We want to thank everybody.
	We want to make sure you go to Dvorak.org slash blog.
	I'm sorry, Dvorak.org slash NA, which we have a little jingle for.
	ChannelDvorak.com slash NA and also the NoAgendaNation.com website.
	There's a big button that says Donation.
	Click on that and help us out.
	It's a birthday, birthday Oh no, my gender A couple of birthday shout-outs to the slaves out there at Gitmo Nation's Dwayne Cothron celebrates his birthday today.
	Katharina Hogg celebrates tomorrow.
	Nick McNeil is the one who congratulates her with her birthday.
	And Brian Qualls wants to congratulate his wife, Candace, who turns 31 tomorrow.
	Happy birthday and congratulations from John and Adam, your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	Yeah!
	We got one today, John.
	Here we go.
	Pull out your big Arabian sword for today.
	That would be just perfect.
	Did you cut yourself?
	Yeah, I did.
	I have to get a Band-Aid.
	Okay.
	Stephen McGrath, step forward, sir, as you have donated a very lucky amount.
	Your giving level is great during this very special year.
	1-1-1-1-1 is what you have brought your giving level up to in one go.
	We highly appreciate that.
	Not only will you receive a ring, but we hereby knight thee, sir, Stephen McGrath, knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Come on over, my friend.
	The truth is here.
	All you have to do is grab it.
	Have a seat with all of our knights and dames.
	And enjoy a little hot talk.
	Nice.
	So, as we go into the second half, is it possible now for me to play a few clips and give my theory about what happened with Bin Laden?
	Yeah, I think we're pretty much on the same...
	Oh, what happened with Bin Laden?
	See, I don't care.
	Yeah, well, I just want to...
	It seems to be a news topic and I want to get out of theory.
	I just want to ask you the question.
	Dead or alive?
	Dead or alive?
	He was alive, and now he's dead.
	Oh, so you think he was alive?
	I think it's a mission within a mission.
	Despite the fact that he had kidney failure almost 16 years ago?
	No, that's all bull crap.
	Okay.
	So let's, I mean, we can't believe anything, but let's just take a look at some of the basics that took place around this particular situation here.
	I'm just going to say from the overview that I'm going to throw up my documentation because it's basically the way we do this.
	Sometimes when you come up with an analysis, you do the analysis first and you try to back it up with what you can.
	I think that this was an extraction and then it resulted in bin Laden getting assassinated.
	So they went to go get him because we do agree that he's a CIA asset.
	He's a CIA asset, and here's what happened.
	He was turned.
	He was either turned or captured by one element of the ISI, which kept him in this private...
	And by the way, there was an article in the Gulf News that said that this particular location used to be a safe house for the ISI. 2003, it was a safe house.
	That's the same report I saw.
	Well, this is an issue, because in 2003, it wasn't built.
	The evidence, if you look at most of the evidence...
	It wasn't built in 2005, so I don't know what that – and I saw that 2003 reference, too, and I'm wondering what the hell that's all about.
	But there's a couple of interesting factoids that showed up, and I think how they isolated it had nothing to do, for example, with anybody torturing anybody.
	I think it had direct connection to this particular little fact that showed up in one of the – The New York Times of Pakistan, which is called the Don.
	Terror suspect went to meet Bin Laden from Indonesia.
	This guy, Abdul Hamed, was arrested in January of this year after meeting with Osama at...
	That safe house, he was arrested by the Pakistanis, and he's been held ever since as the Indonesians demand that he be extradited back to Indonesia, because he's the guy responsible, he's one of the partners responsible for the 2002 Bali bombings, and Pakistan has him.
	And they must have known exactly what was going on, because they arrested him right after this meeting.
	So that information was passed along to the say, so this house was considered hot at that point.
	But was Osama always there?
	I don't think so.
	And here's a couple of clips that I think would be kind of interesting.
	I have two clips from the terrorism expert for...
	Booz Allen Hamilton?
	Booz Allen Hamilton.
	She sounds...
	Very credible to a lot of stuff.
	And she mentions that people knew about this safe house, which I believe since then became a prison.
	And I think it was easy enough to find bin Laden and his family because they were actually in a cell.
	There was never any evidence that they were walking around.
	All the satellite data shows only one guard was out there.
	And they were essentially locked up so you could go in and grab him.
	You could extract him.
	And by the way, the SEAL Team 6...
	Began its history, even though it changed its name to GroupDev, as an extraction team.
	That is their specialty.
	They're not an assassination group.
	They're called assassins because the Democrats call them Cheney's assassins.
	But the fact of the matter is, this is a specialty group that does nothing but extractions.
	They're the guys who took Aristide out of Haiti, right in the middle of the mess, and shipped them off someplace.
	These guys are...
	Pro at extraction.
	They became a unit of the SEALs in 1979-1980 when the extractors that tried to get those American hostages out of Iran failed.
	The U.S. government said, we need guys who are good at this.
	Let's put together a unit.
	They created these people.
	That's what they do.
	And they have gazelle-like legs and no waist.
	They have no waist.
	I believe it was an extraction, and I think within the extraction unit, somebody was told, I don't think it was generally known to everybody, to shoot Osama.
	Either because he was giving information away or they didn't need him alive or something weird happened and they assassinated him even though they were supposed to take him out of there.
	That's why they had the two Chinooks.
	They had two Blackhawks and two Chinooks and the Chinooks were going to take everything they could out of the compound.
	They took all the computers and all the people they could take.
	Instead, they went in there.
	One of the planes fell apart, or supposedly.
	And they had to burn that down.
	Chinook came in later.
	They took everybody.
	They took one person, apparently.
	Nobody wants to say who.
	They had to shoot Osama.
	And they did it.
	It was an assassination, but I think that was the second mission that only one guy knew about.
	And by the way, double tap is, of course, we know what that is, right?
	That's an assassination.
	That's not like an accident.
	So now here's the evidence that I believe was partial in my coming up with this conclusion.
	Play the Booz Allen Hamilton, terrorism expert, and there's a couple of interesting factoids she has.
	And now there's a great fear inside Pakistan that...
	Many of the terrorists, for example, Amon Zawahiri, who's our number two man, or the one who's going to replace Bin Laden, is moving to southern Punjab.
	And I've been on the phone with Pakistani journalists all day.
	And even though we focus so much our energy on Abbottabad, and this is where he's been, he's lived in this compound, well, I think it would be a mistake to think that he's been in this resort town for a long time.
	He's been moving around.
	In fact, one of my sources said that it was only three days ago that he came to Abbottabad.
	Before that, he was in the northern areas of Chitral, which again is another peaceful area, another resort-like place, a beautiful valley of Pakistan.
	So I think that we need to pay more attention to areas that were not on our radar.
	May I ask you a question about this, John?
	So it sounds to me like amidst, this is a possibility, amidst the personnel changes we saw in the CIA and the military, they needed to have a personnel change in the extended arm of the CIA, which is Al-Qaeda, and they needed to move the number two guy up and we had to absolutely eradicate the number one guy.
	Is that kind of what you're feeling?
	Yeah.
	I would say that's one of the possible reasons.
	I think it's also that there could be unknown reasons why they had to shoot him.
	But it was obvious when more of the evidence comes out that he wasn't shielding himself.
	He was probably ready to go.
	Hey, was this girl, this Booz Allen terrorist expert, is she hot?
	She's kind of a Persian-looking...
	She's not bad-looking.
	I love Persian.
	So anyway, she has more to say, and there's some other PBS stuff I can add to this.
	But I'm going to jump back to the next clip and go to another one, which kind of also shows up.
	There's a guy named Colonel Hunt that was on O'Reilly, and he has a thesis that I thought backed this basic theory of mine up quite a bit.
	Play the Colonel Hunt thesis.
	Operation looks to be almost flawless, except for the helicopter deal.
	Yeah, it's absolutely brilliant.
	And if I just may say something about your exchange with Mike Scheuer, Bill, I think the reason Bin Laden stayed there so long was very straightforward.
	He was a prisoner in a gilded cage.
	The Pakistani ISI had him there.
	He wasn't free to go.
	They were, in my view, keeping him there until they needed him.
	So it was a gentle imprisonment.
	Well, that's a pretty star.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	That's a pretty startling charge you're making now, so I want to challenge and have you back it up.
	You're saying that the Pakistani intelligence apparatus not only knew he was there, but kept him there, that he couldn't leave for their own purposes.
	That's what you're saying?
	How can you back that up?
	Well, I've worked with the Pakistanis at least briefly in the 90s.
	I've followed them for a long time.
	And there is no way the Inner Services Intelligence Agency, the Pakistani CIA plus equivalent, didn't know where this guy was.
	They just had to know.
	So there's no doubt that the ISI knew he was there and helped him.
	It is my supposition that they probably...
	He wasn't free to go.
	The deal was he had to stay there and they'd protect him.
	Now back to the operation, which was absolutely brilliant.
	The most interesting aspect of it to me, apart from the incredible professionalism and proficiency, was the way the administration's spinning the helicopter that had a mechanical malfunction in which the SEALs destroyed instead of leaving it on the ground.
	They said, well they didn't want Al-Qaeda to get the top secret technology.
	That's nonsense.
	The al-Qaeda guys near that helicopter were dead.
	They destroyed that helicopter because they didn't want the Pakistanis to get the technology because the Pakistanis would have shared it with their real buddies, the Chinese, who would have reversed engineer it.
	This is a very complex operation.
	The whole thing runs on three levels.
	I'm just going to say again, John.
	The helicopter, screw that.
	Unless it's a gravitational device, it's bullcrap.
	And you're right, I do believe in anti-gravitational devices, but this was not one of them.
	This was a movie set.
	So anyway, my thinking is that either Osam was determined to be a double agent at this point, or he had been...
	It's well known that Osama, you know, he also took money from the Israelis.
	He was financed by diamond dealers.
	I mean, the guy has been all over the map.
	He was a billionaire.
	Come on!
	What are we, crazy?
	He's from the Bin Laden family.
	So I think there was a...
	I think he was still connected to the CIA. And I think that there was...
	If you look at all his TV speeches and look at the days of the...
	I think there's a code in there that went to the CIA that said, I'm going to be off the grid for a while.
	If you don't hear from me by this day, go in and get me.
	And I think that code was triggered from his last speech, which I believe was the 12th or the 21st of January, which the two numbers added would be three, which means give me three months until May 1st to hear from me.
	If you don't hear from me by May 1st, come in with guns blazing and save me because they've got me.
	So May 1st rolls around.
	They go in with the extraction team from the SEAL. This is the extraction unit.
	That's what they do.
	Went in there to extract him, but there was a secondary mission that somebody within the team was told, look, this guy, we can't bring him back.
	You're going to have to shoot him.
	And one guy was...
	Boom, the whole thing's over.
	Now it looks like it was an assassination, which is kind of a negative image of these guys because, in fact, that's not what they do.
	But that's what everyone wants to say they do.
	So it kind of brushes up the fact that he maybe shouldn't have been shot.
	He should have been captured.
	What were those Chinooks doing there?
	And they were going to extract him, but they didn't.
	But this all is covered up completely.
	I like it.
	I really do.
	I can't refute that.
	I can't say anything other than that ABC News knew this all along.
	Well, I'll tell you, there's a bunch of clips I'm not going to play, but where they reiterate this assassination unit bullcrap, and they, I mean, essentially, there's one in here I would like to play, if I can figure out which one it is, where they decide to get a, to try to, they finally give McChrystal, I wish I could, this is one of the PBS ones, we have to play this just to get this.
	McChrystal, who read the script beforehand and already had planned this.
	Well, McChrystal, no, I think McChrystal has been on the out since he let the Rolling Stone guys get him fired because he was trying to get out.
	Dispose of the body, would that be it?
	I want to hear that anyway.
	PBS dispose of the body?
	The things they did, for instance, was to build an entire mock compound.
	We're told somewhere in Afghanistan, and practiced many times just going into that compound.
	They also, of course, planned for every eventuality, taken dead or alive, what to do with the remains, how to do quick forensic analysis, so they could dispose of the body within 24 hours.
	And then before that final raid, of course, I gather there was a great debate about exactly how to try to take bin Laden out.
	Absolutely, Jeff.
	There were really two main options with a lot of sub-options.
	Yeah, so that's not it.
	I think it might be JSOC PBS deconstruction.
	Does that sound right to you?
	Yeah, that's probably it.
	But let me place it.
	The reason I gave that other clip is because there was this bull crap about the Muslim burial.
	Yeah, that was great.
	In accordance with Muslim tradition, we threw them in the sea.
	Yeah.
	There's a religion that's based in the desert.
	Yeah.
	Because that's where we bury all our good Muslims.
	But we threw them head first.
	So that's good.
	The other meme that I started spotting a lot was the bomb.
	We could bomb.
	We could have hit him with the predator.
	We could have bombed it.
	We could have bombed him or attacked or did this risky attack.
	Well, if you're doing an extraction with an extraction team, it's obvious that you never were going to bomb him.
	This is just another smokescreen of bullcrap information so the public can say, oh, you know, Obama had to make this great decision when, in fact, he made no decision and they weren't going to bomb it.
	I mean, they got all these computers, hard disks, and all the rest of this really great...
	Potentially great stuff, which would have been destroyed by bombing.
	So why would you even think about bombing when you might have a treasure trove?
	I mean, all this, the information we're being fed by the media is so skewed toward confusion that it's just really, I was more annoyed at the end of the day by the fact that I have any of these clips and that these people are just, that it's not even worth watching the news anymore.
	It's not worth watching anything.
	By the way, there was marijuana growing outside that compound.
	You know that?
	Yeah, I did see that story, and that's a good thing.
	Anyway, play that other clip and I think you have the McChrystal blast.
	Here's what I'm thinking.
	I'm starting to see this more and more.
	McChrystal, I think they've decided to turn him into a bad guy or a creep or something because of this situation that happened with Rolling Stone because everybody knows that he got himself out of that mess on purpose and they're just not going to sit on it.
	Yeah, the JSOC, as it's called, is a sort of military half of this operation.
	And that's basically, it's made up of the elite units from the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.
	And they're all special forces.
	And some people call it a Murder Inc., Assassination Inc.
	Their expertise is assassinations.
	This unit or this sort of joint command really hit full flower in Iraq when they were taking out top Sunni insurgent leaders and under the leadership of General Stanley McChrystal.
	Right.
	So let's just get one in on him.
	Of course, just like you, I have tons of clips.
	It's so boring at this point.
	Although I did see the entertainment value, like the stealth helicopter and all that stuff.
	That was just hilarious.
	Rob Lowe was on The View talking about how he flew with the 9-11 hijackers on their dry run mission.
	Of course, he's promoting a book.
	Oh, yeah.
	Then we have the Hurt Locker people who coincidentally happen to be following this elite SEAL 6 team when they got a movie coming out.
	If you saw the Hurt Locker, by the way, a bunch of bullcrap, America, America stuff.
	I mean, I've been to Iraq.
	I've been with these guys, although very short.
	Well, most of the guys that were involved in that, they didn't like that movie.
	No, it was stupid.
	And not to belabor the point, I do have one kind of funny clip about the whole thing, which is like a real eye roller.
	Please tell me this is the everything Adam likes about everything.
	No, no, no.
	Ball in Bin Laden's yard.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay, hold on.
	Did you see that one?
	Yeah, it's worth playing.
	Home on a second.
	Here we go. - Sarban Laden's house stands out, not just because of its size, and it is a very big house, huge for the area.
	- Huge! - It's also because of these high walls, 12 to 16 foot tall, and the very top of the walls are barbed fences, so you can't see into the compound at all.
	You can't see what damage was done by the operation.
	Absolutely no idea what it looks like inside because you just can't see.
	But people in the area, locals in the area, are all pretty flummoxed and surprised by what has happened here in the last few days.
	They say that they had no idea who lived there.
	A couple of people said that some of the children that were playing locally would throw their football over, as children do, and usually in this neighbourhood they just throw them back, or they come out and hand them back, or the kids run in to get them.
	Here, what would happen is that the balls would not be returned.
	Instead, somebody would come out and give the kids some money instead of returning the ball.
	And also, I noticed on the wall itself, and the walls around the house itself are not...
	Okay, that's good.
	You don't have to play the rest of it.
	Yeah.
	No, I did say it.
	So what is this?
	This is...
	For one thing, this thing is isolated in the middle of nowhere.
	Mr.
	Osama, can I have my balls back?
	Shut up, kid.
	Here, take a dime.
	Shut up and leave me alone.
	Shut up and get out.
	Now, the other thing is this million-dollar mansion, which is what they keep talking about, was a hellhole.
	I like the word flummox, though.
	I think we should make use of the word flummox a little more.
	The mansion, most of the locals say, if it cost $200,000, it was a miracle.
	It was a shack-looking dive.
	It was a mansion without internet, without telephone.
	It was a mansion, I tell you.
	All the information was bullcrap.
	They had internet, they had telephones, everything was bullcrap.
	It was a bullcrap story, and this is a bullcrap media we have to deal with.
	The whole thing was bullcrap.
	How do you really feel about it, though?
	I don't want you to sugarcoat or hold back or anything.
	To summarize, I like your assertion about the extraction team.
	I think that's great research.
	I'm going to give you 11 points for that.
	I think we both agree that the media is now completely 100% co-opted.
	There's no reason to watch it other than for entertainment value.
	You can either choose Chloe and Lamar...
	Or you can watch any of the news channels or any of the news shows.
	There's no difference between the two.
	It's a big joke.
	Big, big joke.
	And unfortunately, 99% of the population is just like, you know, smoke up your poppies.
	Go ahead.
	Take your Oxycontinol and...
	Kodan, I should say.
	Take your drugs.
	Take your meds.
	Everything's all fine.
	It's going to be great.
	And we're doomed.
	Besides that, I think we both agree that now we're going to move into Pakistan.
	There is a huge war against China by proxy.
	All war, all big wars are fought in different places.
	And it is all about oil with a little bit of subcontext.
	There's some drug stuff there.
	There's some mineral stuff.
	But at the end of the day, oil is what it's all about.
	And this is a good reminder to let you know that...
	Mr.
	Oil's crude oil show will be coming up right after the show.
	We got no agenda.
	We got no agenda whatsoever.
	Now, I do have some...
	Should we talk about something else?
	Are we kind of done with Bin Laden for now?
	Did I summarize it?
	Okay, we're done with Bin Laden.
	We're done for Bin Laden.
	Hi!
	My name is Kimber!
	Kimber!
	Kimber!
	We've got a jingle now for Timmy.
	What the heck is that?
	That's Timmy Geithner's little...
	He has a song.
	Timmy Geithner is a force to be reckoned with, my friend.
	He has his own song.
	He's been on a lot of stuff in the background.
	So Louise Story is a journalist from the New York Times.
	She talks about how Timmy went to Andrew Cuomo.
	Now, Andrew Cuomo, of course, is the Attorney General for New York.
	In New York or Attorney General, right?
	Am I saying that correctly?
	Cuomo, I thought it was the governor.
	Oh, the governor, I'm sorry.
	No, this was when he was Attorney General, I think.
	Okay.
	Because we had the huge financial crisis, and, of course, we can't have any of the bankers arrested.
	You know, that would suck, because where else is...
	Hello, never!
	Where's Timmy going to get his paycheck from?
	You know the guy who can't pay his taxes?
	You know the guy who like lied and was confirmed anyway and is just a little shill?
	He's the kind of kid you beat up in the schoolyard and you urinated on him.
	Sounds like the beaver.
	Well yeah, same difference.
	I dug in with one of my colleagues, Gretchen Morgensen, to look at what the regulators did in terms of enforcement back in 07, 08, 09 as the crisis was starting.
	And what we found was a real reluctance at the DOJ The SEC to really dig in and go after these cases because they were first and foremost focused on stabilizing the system.
	And because they did not put a ton of new resources or efforts in going into enforcement cases several years ago, we don't have those cases now.
	You write about a meeting between Timothy Geithner, then head of the Federal Reserve, and Andrew Cuomo, then Attorney General of New York, where they have this conversation.
	The idea was, we have to be worried about stabilizing the banks, not worried about placing blame.
	Well, take yourself back to that moment.
	It was October 2008.
	It was a few days after the government introduced the $700 billion bailout of the banks, and people were very nervous.
	And so this was a very unusual meeting.
	The head of the New York Fed, Geithner, comes in to meet with Cuomo, who, you know, the New York Attorney General is usually Wall Street's sheriff.
	And so comes in to meet with him and really talks about how fragile the situation is.
	What we saw after that was Andrew Cuomo really didn't make any major cases related to the financial crisis and the banks, even though he had a lot of evidence in that area.
	And so, you know, it's unclear if he would have acted differently if he hadn't had the meeting with Geithner.
	He said in a statement to us that he did not slow down because of the meeting, but it's a meeting that I've heard about from three different people who said that it did make a big impression on I keep wondering if we're missing the Avenger, if we're missing that Andrew Cuomo, the Attorney General, that Elliot Spitzer, now that he's a cable host, Rudy Giuliani, the person who has decided to dig in and make this a priority.
	Yeah.
	Duh!
	The woman is so stupid.
	I don't understand.
	We don't have anyone looking out for our interest for the slaves because, you know, we got...
	Timmy!
	Go, go, Timmy!
	Timmy!
	Timmy!
	Timmy Geithner.
	I hope he rots in hell.
	So he's not dead.
	So here's the interesting thing that...
	What took place this last few days that we should probably give a call out to is the Canadian elections.
	Yes!
	We've had lots of our producers in Gitmo Nation, Great White North, who said, hey, you're not the only guys who are doomed.
	We're doomed as well up here, as Harper now, of course, took over the place.
	And this is, WikiLeaks came out at the same time with, I'm going to pull this up here, with a nice little document.
	Did you see this document?
	No, tell me.
	This is the North American Initiative.
	Which is, here it is, important revelations, currency weekly, just in time for the Canadian election.
	We have this cable that came out revealing that the plan has been to create a single market, a single currency, and obviously dropping of the border without actually dropping the border, just be a financial drop.
	The Amero!
	Exactly.
	And this is supposed to be an incremental approach.
	And boy, it has been exactly that.
	We've been talking about it on the show.
	We have the president going up there.
	Then they say, well, we're going to make a little deal where we, of course, can't put American troops on the streets because that would be against the Posse Comitatus Act.
	So what we'll do is we'll agree if we've got something bad going on here, then Canadian troops can be on our streets.
	If there's something going on up there, then American troops can be on your streets.
	And this is now, it's a fact.
	I mean, this is an actual cable, the North American initiative.
	And here we are.
	Hey, you know what?
	I'm happy that we'll finally be united.
	I'll have the Mexican troops come in.
	They're taking over the place anyway.
	Well, that's going to happen next.
	But this is Canada and Americana.
	And again, it's a single market, single currency.
	And what else do they have up there, John, that's of interest to us in Canada?
	Number one provider to the United States of...
	What could it be?
	Of...
	Oil.
	Oil.
	Lots of oil.
	Lots and lots.
	Black gold.
	And as the price goes up, it turns out that they have even more because they have these oil shale, oil sands, or they got this other oil, which they can extract if the price goes past a certain point.
	It's just awesome.
	I'm happy.
	But the only problem is we won't actually be able to go up and visit easily because it's not like it'll be open.
	You still have to go through an x-ray scanner, a naked body scanner, before you go in or out of Canada.
	It's just amazing.
	So anyway, so one party was completely destroyed, the Bloc Quebecois, which is one of the oldest traditional pro-French split-the-country parties.
	They're done.
	And then the liberals, which have always been either in power, I mean they're mostly in power, or they're the opposition, they got shipped to third place, and this new Democrat party, which is essentially a bunch of communists, Uh, which believe, you know, in global warming and we shouldn't do this and we shouldn't do that.
	They have all the, just like a litany of all the cornball stuff.
	They have, uh, they were, uh, came in second and in fact they could have won the whole thing except for the, many of the liberals decided to, the way the analysis goes, decided to vote conservative and get, keep Harper in because they're scared to death of this guy, Jack Layton.
	What kind of voting machines do they have up there in Canada?
	I don't know.
	That's a good question.
	One of our Canadiana...
	Canadianas can tell us what material they're using.
	But anyway, things are interesting up there, that's for sure.
	No, it's phenomenal.
	I do have a clip because there was a fifth party, which is now also gone, called the Green Party.
	Oh.
	And so this woman comes up to complain about how nobody pays any attention to them, and the media kept marginalizing them.
	And just as she's starting to complain about the media, they cut her off.
	The Green Party is down from its last showing in 2008.
	How concerned are you about that, even though we don't know the result here?
	That was almost inevitable given what the media consortium did in shutting us out of the debates and then not covering any of our platform or positions throughout the election campaign.
	So we were very concerned throughout that across Canada, Canadians weren't hearing anything about the Green Party through the entire election.
	At the same time, you did decide to focus much of your national campaign on getting you elected here.
	And thank God for that because we wouldn't have gotten any coverage if we hadn't.
	President!
	How can you have if the Conservatives win a majority?
	I don't think at this point we know enough to know.
	All right, Elizabeth May is speaking out in British Columbia, still waiting for the results from her writing.
	You know, there's something else that...
	I love it.
	Yeah, that's fantastic.
	When you watch a debate, and for some reason, you know, I have two TVs in the house, and the one that records is always on C-SPAN, and the one that doesn't record, because I can't really afford another...
	Oh, this is your basic complaint.
	$3,000 a month for CNN. But whenever there's two parties and someone's actually making some sense, here's what the host always says.
	We're going to have to leave it there.
	Right, I love that.
	We're going to have to leave it there because we're running out of time.
	We're going to have to leave.
	It's consistent.
	Whenever they want to cut someone off, here's the new cutoff word, we're going to have to leave it there.
	Gentlemen, thank you so much for showing up.
	We're going to have to leave it there.
	Why?
	Why do you have to leave it there?
	Because they're a commercial operation.
	This is why we do our show the way we do it.
	And I want to encourage people to continue to support us because you have to.
	If you want to get this kind of analysis, that's what we do.
	That's all we do, actually.
	If you want this sort of analysis and slamming the media, if you like that sort of thing, you really do have to help us out.
	Yes, you do.
	Now, another thing I've noticed.
	Otherwise, you're going to have to just leave it there.
	John, we have to leave it there.
	We'll just have to sign off, and that'll be it.
	This is great.
	So the number of Code 33s have increased five-fold in the past week.
	Oh!
	Oh yeah.
	I mean, it's out of control.
	And by the way, Code 33, now she mentioned, I never thought about this before, the 33s, but Code 33 specifically refers to Officer Down.
	Really?
	I didn't know that.
	I know what Code 44 is.
	Do you know what Code 44 is?
	No, what is Code 44?
	That's when you're in a parade and the horse pooped.
	You have to step over it.
	That's a Code 44.
	So, Code 33.
	Katy Perry.
	You may not know who she is, John, but she's a...
	I know who Katy Perry is.
	Quite a famous singer.
	She tweets, What does it mean when you see the number 33 all the time?
	I've seen it over seven times today alone.
	So when this starts to happen...
	Whoa!
	Uh-huh, uh-huh.
	Let me give you a couple.
	I'm just going to run down the list.
	Iraqi official says nine killed, 33 wounded.
	Car bomb explodes in Baghdad neighborhood.
	Archel Daniels Midland profit meets expectations.
	Revenue surges 33%.
	Oxif profit rises 33% on higher management fees.
	Sham University president indicted on 33 counts.
	Man gets 33 months for disclosing UMC patient records for personal gain.
	Magellan Midstream Partners profit grows 33% per unit.
	Sinclair Broadcast Group Sinclair profit rises 33% first quarter.
	Qatar to acquire 33% stake in Cargo Luxe.
	33 companies a week went bust in the first third of the year.
	Yemen protesters urged not to raise bin Laden banners.
	President in charge for 33 years.
	Raid on bin Laden was live blogged by a 33-year-old programmer.
	General Probe poised to gain 33 in merger as profits prove superior.
	Whole Foods profits rise as 33% full-year forecast increased.
	Only 33% of India's hunger children covered under ICDS. Phillips Carbon Black Q4 net down 8% at 33 rumbais.
	Central China banked to drain 33 billion won via 28-day bond purchase.
	Hello, number 33.
	Well, something's up.
	I don't think that 33 is an announcement that they took out Osama.
	But there's too many now.
	This is not good.
	A couple of things.
	So even though it's kind of going back, this is the Ministry of Truth.
	I guess some shadow puppet theater stuff as well that's kind of interesting.
	So this Audrey Thomason, by the way, the mystery, the Martha Quinn woman in the picture, We have to find out more about her.
	She's very mysterious.
	You can Google her all you want.
	There's very little known about her.
	And why she was in the back there poking her little mousy head out, it irritates me.
	So we need some help from our...
	It irritates you.
	It does.
	Now, do you know that Admiral Mike Mullen, who was standing right behind the president, he had the brown shirt on.
	Do you know his family history?
	I think I once did, but you might as well re-brief me.
	His father, and this is from an NPR story, our national treasurer, his father was a huge Hollywood publicist who's Jack Mullen.
	His clients included Bob Hope, Jimmy Stewart, Phyllis Diller, Carol Burnett.
	No wonder the guy is in there.
	He's a PR shill.
	He's grown up with understanding how PR works.
	This is just amazing to me.
	That's funny because he looks kind of like a classic Hollywood PR guy.
	Doesn't he?
	Doesn't he just look like it?
	Yeah.
	Like one of those douchebags?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Hill and Knowlton is on the...
	I don't have all of the announcements, but they're expanding their business.
	They've got so many different clients.
	It's just unbelievable.
	Let's see.
	What do I have?
	I got a couple other things.
	What do you got, John?
	Most of the stuff is still left over.
	Osama stuff.
	I mean, do I have anything that's a little off the...
	Because I just felt we're going to spend...
	Oh, I have something.
	Oh, no, I have...
	Of course I had to do this.
	This is the Ministry of Truth.
	Julian Assange.
	Assange.
	Assange.
	We have to...
	In the milieu, we say Assange.
	And he was interviewed by Russia Today.
	Once again, now I have to say, the girl who interviewed him, hotness factor 8, not blonde, not Russian.
	But they're getting some of the idea.
	I don't mind if they try to go with the brunettes, but the fact of the matter is I think you're dead right.
	It's got to be blondes, and they should have a PhD or have two law degrees or something like that.
	They do exist.
	That's the joke of it.
	I mean, these people that they have on Fox, these women, they've got master's degrees and PhDs in law, and they have all these weird backgrounds and educational backgrounds, and they're beautiful.
	There are women.
	You can go to a graduate school and you'll find these beautiful women that if you're smart you could go in there probably proposition them not for sex but for a job at Fox and they take it.
	Did you know that Erin Burnett is leaving CNBC? She's going to go to work for a think tank?
	No, she's going to CNN and she'll have her own show.
	Oh, that's a mistake.
	For her, it's a big mistake.
	She's looking disheveled, though, by the way.
	She's not looking that good.
	I think they're working her too hard.
	Maybe that's why she's quitting.
	I mean, she'll get a bigger audience at CNN. CNBC is a better healed...
	Well, she's the audience.
	She's counsel on foreign relations, so she has to be part of propagating the message.
	Well, she has to be told where to go, and she's going.
	So here's Julian Assange talking about the techno experts in our social media.
	In social networking, what role do you think sites like Facebook and Twitter have played in the revolutions in the Middle East?
	How easy would you say it is to manipulate media like that?
	Facebook in particular is the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented.
	Here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people, their relationships, their names, their addresses, their locations, their communications with each other, their relatives, all sitting within the United States, all accessible to US intelligence.
	Google, Yahoo, all these major US organizations have built-in interfaces for US intelligence.
	It's not a matter of serving a subpoena.
	They have an interface that they have developed for US intelligence to use.
	Now, is it the case that Facebook It's actually run by US intelligence.
	No, it's not like that.
	It's simply that US intelligence is able to bring to bear legal and political pressure to them, and it's costly for them to hand out records one by one, so they have automated the process.
	Everyone should understand that, that when they add their friends to Facebook, they are doing free work for United States intelligence agencies in building this database for them.
	Let's talk about...
	I love that.
	Well, this is interesting because I wrote a column on this specific quote.
	I think it was a couple days ago.
	And then we did the X3 show, x3show.mevio.com, about this topic.
	And I didn't know it came from Russia today.
	It's funny that you have it.
	Well, that's not a coincidence.
	We're in tune with each other like two married people.
	That was nice.
	Hey, man.
	I think he's dead on.
	I've always felt this way.
	And it's funny, the reaction you get to is, so what, is what you get from the American public.
	We've completely lost sight of any story.
	I mentioned in my column that I use Facebook for due diligence.
	I use it to track people because I'm a journalist.
	I've got to find out what's going on.
	If I'm going to meet with somebody, I usually check them out.
	I use Flickr to see what photos are posted about people.
	If they're hot or not.
	Well, maybe.
	But the point is that these things are all available as tools, and I can see that there being some special tool, an Uber tool, a meta tool.
	I mean, there are products like Nimble, which I plugged in the column, which is something that kind of consolidates a bunch of these things.
	And you can, you know, it's just obvious to me.
	And I've always been baffled by the fact that people are so free with giving up very personal information, like what they're doing, where they're going, what their schedule looks like, you know, who they've met, who they're seeing.
	I mean, this kind of thing is, for intelligence agencies, it's got to be a goldmine.
	It makes their job easier.
	I just thought it was really nice that Julian Assange says, you know, you're doing work on behalf of them.
	I'm like, yeah, this is fantastic.
	It's really, really good.
	They're also doing work on behalf of our show.
	Yes, this is true.
	Now, there were a couple of weird announcements.
	And, you know, I subscribe to all the RSS feeds of the White House.
	You know, the hubris of these guys, they're so crazy.
	And particularly the blog team.
	Because, you know, the blog team is led by these little heel nippers, right?
	They all want to be, hey, I'm going to be president one day.
	I'm doing a putting workshop.
	Ankle biters.
	Ankle biters, right.
	But they slip up a lot and they do stuff that is not necessarily...
	I mean, the whole White House, of course, blows because they're not in control of what the CIA and the military is really doing.
	This is why they had to come out and change all their stories and all that.
	So there was key administration post announcements.
	And these things are always slipped in during big things.
	And I'm always paying attention to them.
	So at first, and this was two days ago, Tony...
	D'Agostino will become a board of director of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, whatever that is.
	Janice Eberle, Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy.
	Now these people, you know, they're the typical shills, banker, etc., But then there was like, and it's gone now.
	It's been taken off the website, off the White House.
	At least I can't find it.
	But there was a little announcement.
	So they re-sent this press release about D'Agostino and Eberle.
	With an addition, the new U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan is Ryan Crocker, Council on Foreign Relations, former ambassador to Iraq and Pakistan.
	He's now going to be the new ambassador to Afghanistan, replacing Army Lieutenant General Carl Eikenberry, also Council on Foreign Relations.
	And the reason why this guy is interesting is he has been a CIA shill for three administrations.
	And once again, just slipped right in.
	And it's funny, though, because they didn't announce it first, then they announced it, and now the announcement is gone.
	It's really weird what is happening.
	The White House is in total shambles.
	They don't know what to do anymore.
	They don't know how to do it.
	I don't even think that the president is making these appointments.
	What's his name?
	Petraeus or whatever.
	Whoever's in charge.
	Rumsfeld, for all I care.
	Cheney could be calling this shot.
	Yeah, I watched Rumsfeld.
	He was on O'Reilly or one of these shows.
	And Rumsfeld, and I'm watching him now with it in mind, my wife's thesis, that he's been shot up with Botox so he can't express himself.
	And I watched his eyebrows were just like frozen.
	Right.
	Barely move, right?
	Yeah, his whole face is like an inch away from being a robot.
	Now, along with this announcement comes more, because it's Never Alone, of course.
	Shadow Puppet Theater!
	John Ashcroft, now in charge of Blackwater's ethics.
	Ha ha!
	You got that one!
	That's a good one!
	Boo!
	Do you want to explain who John Ashcroft is, please, John?
	I think he may have been the first or second director of the DHS, Homeland Security, when it was just informative years before it's become the secret police.
	And by the way, on the next show on Sunday coming up, I made a lot of clips, obviously, but I have a couple that I'm saving, including one that you're going to go, oh, great.
	Cool.
	And it should be a DHS Lucy Napolitano clip that is going to be an eye roller.
	Oh, nice.
	Oh, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
	There's a whole bunch of high-speed rail stuff that I don't think we should...
	I'll save that for Sunday.
	It'll keep.
	Don't worry.
	It's all good.
	Some biodiversité stuff.
	I do want to mention for the United States of Europe, Portugal has now...
	They've done their bailout deal.
	And I guess it's 78 billion euros.
	Kiss goodbye to everything.
	You'll be walking to work.
	The austerity measures are amazing.
	It's like, forget about it.
	You're not going to fly.
	You can't drive.
	Everything's shutting down.
	You'll work forever and you're going to walk to work.
	Well, the Portuguese really...
	Well, the Portuguese and the Spanish for some reason are getting off easy because both of those countries soaked...
	The EU, and I think wisely so.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, these guys aren't stupid.
	I mean, we have to remember both Spain and Portugal were once world powers.
	Yes.
	And they still have certain mentalities that, you know, we'll never understand because their type of world power and domination is different.
	They're a different kind of mentality that we ever had, or the British, let's say, or even the Dutch.
	Yeah.
	Actually, it's more.
	It's like $110 billion.
	I looked at this situation and it seems to me to be vague as to what the amount really is.
	Well, it says 78 billion euros, so it's actually closer to $110 billion.
	And so the major cuts are coming in the two places where, of course, you need to cut the most health and education.
	So, die and be stupid.
	That's kind of the message.
	Well, they were definitely going after, when I was there, which is just a couple years ago, they were going after the education.
	They were throwing a lot of money at education.
	But doing it wisely, not throwing it away like we tend to do.
	And I don't think they want the Portuguese to be that smart.
	So, it's probably in the best interest of the EU to keep the Portuguese dumb and barefoot.
	Haiti, by the way, just amazing.
	Cholera surge in Haiti feared.
	Food prices rising.
	Here's how we solve cholera.
	Let's starve them so they can't actually poop.
	This is great.
	And then Bill Clinton comes out and says, we need more transparency of what's happening with the relief money in Haiti.
	This is the gall of this guy.
	To say that.
	And this is what he said to the UN Security Council.
	You know, we really need more transparency.
	We need more transparency in the money.
	You douchebag.
	I'm going to give him a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	It's about time we haven't had the douchebag theme.
	Considering this show has been nothing but about douchebags.
	Yeah.
	Let me see if there was any other fun stuff.
	I think that was the main...
	I think we covered some of the news today, John.
	I think we kind of got it.
	Yes, I think we can put the Bin Laden thing behind us.
	I would like to.
	I would really like to.
	It's too time-consuming.
	Unfortunately, it's going to be in the news lot, but now it's going to be just disinformation of all sorts, and it's going to be something we can ignore.
	There's other things to talk about, and there's other things going on, and this 33 meme is bothering me.
	I do have a clip for the end of the show, the Napolitano rant.
	End of the show clip, which is a little, it's a good long rant.
	This guy is completely, I think he's right on with most of his assertions about the legality of all the stuff that we're doing.
	And the fact of the matter is that the country's going down the tube is basically what he's saying.
	And it's a very good job of it.
	And we've got Sunday coming up, which will be, I hope people will support us over the next few days and continue.
	contributing and becoming executive producers on our way to the 333 Club, which will be our next big push for the show number 333, which is coming up in about 15 weeks.
	So the two big things that I will be focusing on, which are not to be downplayed, new research from the Journal of American Medicine, A-Holes, JAMA, Someone finds that salt does not kill you if you eat too much.
	Yeah, I know.
	This is controversial.
	Somebody stopped paying off somebody.
	Yeah, exactly.
	We just didn't have the time, really, to go into research where this is coming from.
	But it was a big story because, you know, the new study, new research.
	So I think you're right.
	Yeah, someone was not paying.
	The same time Cargill has introduced Premier Light Salt, John.
	Premier Light.
	So there's...
	Salt.
	Use less.
	Yeah.
	Useless, indeed.
	And then the other big story is the Alzheimer's thing.
	So they're working really hard on the vaccinations.
	There now appears to be an obesity link with Alzheimer's.
	There's a blood test you can take to find out if you're prone to Alzheimer's.
	So be on the lookout for the Alzheimer's meme and for the vaccine.
	Also, the U.S. has ordered more anthrax vaccines.
	So all around, it's just...
	It's great.
	We will try to be your guiding light amongst all of the burkrapiness that is taking place because I don't know where else to get it.
	In fact, I enjoy just listening to you for my own sanity.
	I think it really helps.
	And once again, nice to not have to talk to you until Thursday.
	That's Sunday.
	That's a big bonus of the way we set this up.
	I believe that's true.
	Yes.
	It's what I'm saying.
	It's like being married, only better.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	I'm not saying anything.
	So Mr.
	Oil coming up with the crude oil show after our end of show clip.
	Thank you very much for joining us.
	And remember...
	Just laugh, okay?
	You're on the inside.
	You know it's all bull crap, so you can just laugh.
	Don't go crazy, please.
	Coming to you from the Hilltop Watt Tower Crackpot Command Center here in Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, everybody.
	My name's Adam Curry.
	And thanks for listening to our Sanco de Mayo celebration.
	I'm here in Northern Silicon Valley.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Sunday for early morning service right here on No Agenda.
	Does the government work for us or do we work for the government?
	The Constitution lets the President set the nation's foreign policy.
	Does he know what he's doing?
	Tonight, President Obama and the rule of law.
	The more we learn about the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the more questions naturally arise.
	Initially, John Brennan, the President's counter-terrorism czar, told the nation on Monday morning that Bin Laden was armed and fired at our SEALs who had invaded his house.
	Mr.
	Brennan also told us that Bin Laden used his wife as a human shield and pushed her between himself and the SEALs after they had entered their dwelling.
	It was clear that the administration, with an eye on the Constitution and federal law, was actually attempting to make the case that Bin Laden initiated the violence that resulted in his own death.
	Obviously, whether lawfully present or not, the SEALs would have been right to have returned fire if it had been initiated against them.
	Last night we learned that Mr.
	Brennan's version of the events at the scene was being abandoned by the White House.
	Last night we learned that Bin Laden was not armed, did not shoot at the seals, did not use any person as a human shield, and did not pose any resistance.
	Now you might ask, what difference does any of this make?
	He was a monster who admitted killing 3,000 innocent Americans and he got what he deserved.
	If that is your view, then you should reevaluate your respect for the rule of law, for transparency in government, and whether you want the president to have the powers of a king.
	Under the law, the entry of our troops into the sovereign territory of another nation without a declaration of war against that nation or permission from that nation is illegal.
	Under the law, sending troops to arrest and capture a person wanted for mass murder and directing those troops to bring the person here is lawful, and American courts have sanctioned that.
	But under the law, sending troops to kill someone is unlawful.
	It violates at least four treaties, three federal statutes, an executive order that the president himself signed.
	It violates basic American values, the rule of law, and the Constitution.
	The rule of law requires all Americans to follow the law, no matter who they are or what the circumstances may be.
	The law allows the president to capture and to charge someone, but it simply does not permit him to kill someone he should arrest.
	If that were not the law, then nothing but popular opinion could stop the president from killing whoever he wanted.
	The framers themselves specifically feared this, as they knew the propensities of European kings to kill whomever they wished and to claim it was done for safety's sake.
	Thus, the framers wrote into the Constitution, and their successors in Congress wrote into federal law, prohibitions of the very behavior that the President authorized and directed on Sunday night.
	Now, the President himself surely knows this.
	He taught constitutional law at one of the best law schools in the country.
	But he violated the law in order to get Bin Laden.
	If the President thinks he can kill on his own volition, what else can we expect of him?
	Well, earlier today he announced that he will not release photos of Bin Laden taken after his death.
	The President derives his powers from us.
	We can't keep evidence from him.
	How can he keep what we need to know and have a right to see from us?
	We know that he has engaged us in a war in Libya without the consent of Congress as required by the Constitution.
	And just like with the killing of Bin Laden, his team has given us conflicting explanations for doing that.
	First, he told us that our troops in Libya were engaged in a humanitarian mission, that somehow by destroying the Libyan Air Force, which obviously means killing members of the Libyan Air Force, the U.S. could save lives.
	Then, without the consent of Congress, he ordered bombing the Libyan government, he said, to help the rebels oust the Libyan dictator Gaddafi.
	He said that NATO will be in charge of the pursuit of Gaddafi.
	Then he realized that the U.S. effectively owns NATO, and he'd be responsible for what NATO did.
	Then he permitted Nader to kill three pre-teenage children, innocents who just happened to be the grandchildren of Colonel Gaddafi.
	Then Secretary of Defense Gates and Secretary of State Clinton announced that we really don't know who the rebels are, but we like them better than we do Colonel Gaddafi.
	Then WikiLeaks revealed that some of the rebel leadership consisted of former detainees at Gitmo, and some were well-known terrorists and mercenaries from the Middle East known as the Mujahideen.
	Then the president decided to send these rebels $25 million in non-lethal aid, such as medical supplies, uniforms, boots and radios.
	This is the same president whose Justice Department is prosecuting a man here in New York for aiding terrorists by sending raincoats to the same Mujahideen.
	Do you see the pattern with President Obama?
	Do as I say, not as I do.
	Free speech for me, but not for thee.
	I am free to do as I wish to get re-elected.
	The Constitution be damned.
	America, these are dangerous times in which we live.
	And only fidelity, the first principles, will keep us free.
	Those principles require, very simply, that the President comply with the Constitution and obey the laws just like the rest of us.
	From New York, defending freedom every night of the week.
	So long, America.
	Squirrel!
