	Mine says my computer is fast.
	Really?
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, May 8th, 2011.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 302.
	This is No Agenda.
	Wondering how Osama Bin Laden's mom feels.
	And coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, Gamow Nation West, and the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where my Comcast connection seems to be revealing the following.
	I'm getting.7 megs down, 4 megs up.
	What?
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Yeah.
	And I love it how, you know, we have a little over a thousand people who listen live on the stream.
	And they're like, well, this sucks.
	I'm not, this show will never get off the ground.
	I'm not gonna, I'm coming, I'll see you Thursday.
	Ah, ye of little faith.
	I got off the ground.
	Anyway, you sound great, John.
	Hey, by the way, I'm gonna make it official now.
	I am Adam Curry, the lone wolf!
	That's going to be my new signature.
	Everywhere I go.
	I'm the lone wolf, everybody.
	The lone wolf.
	What a meme fest this past couple of days we've been seeing on the television.
	You know, ABC News is still the best, John.
	If you want some real entertainment, this is, of course, the Disney guys.
	They do know how to do it.
	They know how to put some good-ass entertainment together.
	Well, what are you talking about?
	Just the words they use and how they position everything.
	I mean, come on.
	They work for the government.
	What do you expect?
	Well, some of them used to work for the government, like George Stephanopoulos.
	What was he again?
	He was the press secretary for Clinton.
	Spokeshole, right?
	Yeah.
	Let me just get us into the show here.
	And we'll have to kind of pause at the words they're using, because they kind of wrapped up the...
	The killing of Osama Bin Laden and the terror files that have been uncovered and just the way that they position this, the writers.
	I mean, I think they literally say, hey, are you doing Glee?
	Yeah.
	No, you can just work over here because we like the way you write.
	It's really entertaining.
	Come on over.
	Al-Qaeda finally confirmed today that he was killed and vowed to retaliate, saying Americans' happiness will turn to sadness.
	But that threat comes as we're learning more about that motherlode of intelligence.
	Motherlode.
	It's the motherlode, John.
	The motherlode.
	...was taken from bin Laden's compound.
	Last night, Pierre Thomas broke the story of a plan to...
	He broke the story.
	This guy, they're breaking stories.
	...tact.
	He trains on the 10th anniversary of 9-11 and he joins us again tonight.
	And Pierre, these Bin Laden files could be the most valuable intelligence breaks ever.
	Ever!
	Indeed, George.
	As investigators review a mountain of intelligence...
	A mountain, John.
	It sounds like he's...
	Stephanopoulos sounds like he's reading it but he didn't write it.
	No, no, of course not.
	These are professional writers.
	But he's making it sound as if, you know, it's like I can read other people's material, but he's making it sound like he didn't want to do this.
	Did you notice that when he's hesitating, it's like...
	Well, I think I know what's going on, because he's been hired to do Good Morning America, which is kind of the live off the cuff, not really off the cuff, but kind of like the informal show.
	And this is him straight on behind a desk into the teleprompter.
	I don't think he likes that.
	I think it demeans him is what he feels.
	You know what I mean?
	Either that or he's got no prompter skills at all, but I've seen him before.
	He seems okay.
	But he also understands where this is coming from.
	He sees the presidential seal on the teleprompter.
	He's like, oh gosh, these guys wrote this and then we have to read this.
	Can you play that again?
	Because it was so stiff that it seemed forced.
	I mean, it seemed as if he was trying to let us know it was bullcrap.
	Al-Qaeda finally confirmed today that he was killed and vowed to retaliate, saying Americans' happiness will turn to sadness.
	You know what?
	He doesn't have the...
	See, he's in a newsreader setting, but he's not doing the newsreader way.
	It should be, Al-Qaeda finally confirmed that he was killed.
	You know, that's how you do it, George.
	I'm like, he was killed, and, you know, they say that happiness will turn to sadness.
	But that threat comes as we're learning more about that motherlode of intelligence taken from bin Laden's compound.
	Last night, Pierre Thomas broke the story of a plan to attack trains on the 10th anniversary of 9-11, and he joins us again tonight.
	And Pierre, these bin Laden files could be the most valuable intelligence breaks ever.
	Indeed, George, as investigators review a mountain of intelligence from Osama bin Laden's compound, sources say it's clear.
	Now it's a compound, by the way.
	You know, this is a meme fest.
	It's a compound and a mountain of evidence.
	The mother lode.
	Laden thought of himself.
	It was a mansion last time I looked.
	Now it's a compound.
	It's a head coach overseeing strategy.
	Head coach.
	This is fantastic.
	Blessing and approving plots.
	Blessing.
	Approving.
	The cache of electronic and handwritten materials.
	What?
	Electronic and handwritten materials.
	Including notebooks taken from the Bin Laden compound is both a strategic playbook and a greatest hits album of Al-Qaeda aspirations.
	Who writes this?
	It's a greatest hits album of Al-Qaeda inspirations.
	We should put that together.
	And now, 13 tracks.
	It's the greatest hits of Al-Qaeda's inspirations.
	Finally, on KTEL Records, CDs, and tapes.
	And 8-tracks were available.
	Greatest hits.
	While no imminent plots have been uncovered, it is clear from the files that bin Laden was constantly consulting on ways to attack the U.S. Couriers were bringing bin Laden computer disks and other computer material thumb drives.
	Thumb drives.
	Watch out, John.
	This is going to be illegal soon.
	Thumb drives.
	You cannot have a thumb drive in your keychain.
	That might have had plots on them.
	Plots.
	We know in the past he's approved specific attacks, and he's sent attacks back for further work and further analysis.
	The materials include numerous hallmark al-Qaeda plots.
	Hallmark al-Qaeda plots.
	I mean, am I crazy?
	That sounded like Doug.
	It does sound like the material included various Al-Qaeda plots, hallmarks, including attacks on infrastructure targets such as water supply and transportation, rail and air.
	In the past, Al-Qaeda plans for attacks on water supplies have included an interest in mining dams and poisoning the water.
	The documents show there was clear interest in attacks on the most prominent U.S. cities, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. And contrary to what many analysts thought, a strategy to attack Americans on holidays and anniversaries.
	Bin Laden also apparently sought to recruit minorities to conduct attacks.
	This is my favorite.
	Minorities.
	We've got to get minorities to do it because then we'll hate them.
	Excuse me, this is America.
	Are you out of your mind?
	The goal?
	To not only kill and maim, but to create class warfare and set in motion a destruction of American society.
	By using the tool of minorities as terrorists, I think he wants to create unrest.
	The documents.
	Do you think that literally, like, in this hallmark treasure trove, mountain of evidence, there was a note there that said, memo to self, make sure we get some hip-hopper to do this so we can hate black people, and then maybe someone named Juan.
	I mean, do you really think that?
	It's just nuts.
	And by the way, so what comes out, right after our show...
	Trains.
	We're going to go hit the trains.
	We're going to go, oh, Al-Qaeda wants to derail the trains.
	Let me take you back to just around this time.
	It was actually June of 2009.
	And we played this clip on the No Agenda program.
	And we said, there will be a time in the future.
	When we will pull this clip out again, and we will remind you of what our President, George W. Obama, said about trains, which we need to pay billions of dollars for because they're so great.
	...destructive emissions and creates jobs.
	What we're talking about is a vision for high-speed rail in America.
	Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city.
	No racing to an airport and across the terminal.
	No delays.
	No sitting on the tarmac.
	No lost luggage.
	No taking off your shoes.
	No taking off your shoes.
	Yeah, you'll be taking off your shoes.
	Hello, everybody.
	Yep, you will.
	Of course you will.
	Well, talking about taking off your shoes and all that high-speed rail and the security, you have more, I mean, this Osama thing, I almost said it.
	By the way, I was listening to somebody the other day and they actually said, instead of calling him Barack Obama, they actually got so carried away, they call him Osama Bin Laden.
	It's funny you say that, because in our PR segment, somebody...
	Well, we've got a lot of really cool domain names that have been registered for us, such as barackosama2012.com.
	Yeah.
	And my favorite is Obama Det Laden.
	Obama Ben Laden, yeah.
	No, Obama Det Laden, as in laden.
	You've got to see it to understand it.
	I guess so, yeah.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, no, it's been happening.
	It's still happening.
	Well, you can't.
	It's almost impossible to prevent it.
	So, I thought that this whole week has been one of nothing but these ridiculous...
	This is the distraction of the month.
	This is going to go on.
	I mean, there's no other news.
	I had ended up my...
	If you look at my clips, I got a bunch of obscure stuff.
	I got more out of watching the Lady Gaga concert than I did with anything else.
	Well, I disagree.
	There is a war going on.
	There's an information war that is very interesting.
	And it's between the...
	Well, actually, I was going to consult you on this, the Oracle.
	I'm seeing MSNBC is going all out.
	MSNBC is going completely crazy on Republicans...
	I mean, more so than ever, but really shouting and yelling them down.
	And the Republicans are all trying to say, well, you know, hey, you know, we did a good job, and, you know, we were all right to do this, and, you know, and Bush started it all, and waterboarding, you know, is really important.
	But I think there was a memo that went out to just, like, yell.
	I mean, so if you're Condoleezza Rice, right?
	Right.
	Would you be doing an interview with anybody right now for any reason whatsoever?
	Seriously, is there any reason to do that?
	Any reason to do what?
	To do an interview with MSNBC right now.
	If you're Condoleezza Rice, why would you do an interview with MSNBC? There's no reason in the world you'd want to.
	Unless, of course, there's some warfare going on.
	Because MSNBC, or as they say in the business, the MS, has particularly two shows.
	The Ed Show and The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell.
	They've been like just crazy about slamming the Bush intelligence, their warmongering, going into Iraq for oil.
	You know, they brought out this Colonel Wilkerson who was literally just saying, oh, I know why Cheney went into Iraq.
	It was all about oil.
	It's just like, what, really?
	So I think there's some kind of, there's something going on behind the scenes.
	Well, there might be, but I can tell you, the Lawrence O'Donnell show and the Ed Schultz show, Ed Schultz seems like just a psychopath.
	He screams at the camera, he yells and says everything bad that's ever happened in the world has to be because of Republicans.
	He's a hate monger of the worst kind.
	And O'Donnell's a subtle version of the same thing.
	And there's no material there.
	I can't watch those two shows.
	They're trying to be Olbermann.
	They're both trying to be Olbermann, and neither one of them can do it, and Olbermann can't even do it.
	But I thought it was interesting.
	O'Donnell interviewed Condoleezza Rice, who got so frustrated that she actually pulled out the Hitler card.
	I was like, wow, are you really going to do that on me, Condi?
	Just listen to a little bit of it.
	This I thought was funny because he's just yelling at her and she's yelling back at her.
	They were the kind of tubes that were used for it.
	This is about the tubes.
	Remember the tubes?
	The tubes in Iraq?
	The tubes?
	Rockets.
	That kind of...
	When you say that intelligence indicated that your White House was using intelligence incorrectly.
	You were misstating what the intelligence actually was.
	Lawrence, we can do this one way or another, alright?
	You can let me answer your questions, or you can make rhetorical statements.
	Let's talk about the Illuminum 2s that you were so wrong about.
	He is a jackass.
	He keeps interrupting the whole time, and he does keep just like saying, you did this, and then she tries to rebut, and then he interrupts her again.
	Absolutely.
	That's one of those things you like to use as an indication of what the intelligence was telling you, but the White House was misinterpreting the intelligence.
	No, no, no.
	This was not the White House misinterpreting anything.
	Ah, okay, here it comes.
	This is the intelligence.
	So for some reason, the White House didn't mess up, it was the intelligence.
	The director of the CIA briefed the Congress that those aluminum tubes were most likely...
	Who was the director of the CIA during Bush?
	Oh, I don't know.
	Huh?
	Clear capability.
	You sell exclusively.
	We believed that the tubes, given Saddam Hussein's history, given the long trail of what he was trying to acquire, were for nuclear weapons.
	Now, you're right.
	The intelligence turned out to have been wrong.
	But you know, you don't get to get up in the morning and say, you know, my intelligence might be wrong.
	You have to act on the intelligence that you have.
	And that's the intelligence that we had at the time.
	When you look at what we now are calling the Arab Spring, and you look at these uprisings against these dictators in the region, would it have been better now, knowing what we all know now, would it have been better to wait and let history catch up with Saddam Hussein in Iraq?
	Do you think we might have a similar uprising in Iraq?
	Saddam Hussein was a threat, and we dealt with the threat.
	We didn't go to Iraq to bring democracy anymore that dealing with Adolf Hitler was to bring democracy to Germany.
	I thought we did go there to bring democracy.
	Yeah, that's true.
	They keep changing the story, but the question I have to ask, one of course is, where are all his Democrat friends who voted yes on this when it came to Congress having its ability to say no?
	And second, why are we talking about this?
	This is like beating a dead horse.
	Well, there's some reason for it because everything is about how...
	I'm telling you, there's something going on.
	I can't put my finger on it, but you can tell that there's some kind of warfare happening.
	There's something happening and MSNBC has been called to the front lines to go and yell and attack everybody.
	Well, it's got to have something to do with General Electric, then.
	Yeah, well, of course.
	No doubt.
	Do they still actually own the outfit?
	Do they still own MSNBC? No, they own half of it now.
	Comcast owns the majority ownership.
	Comcast, who's giving me a 0.7 down connection on a line I'm supposed to be getting 10 megabits.
	Well, maybe we should stop playing the anti-MSNBC clips, and maybe we'll get some more bandwidth from them.
	We rarely play them.
	I think it's just a...
	I don't know.
	I don't know what's causing this problem, but it started last night.
	Well, okay.
	Well, I'm sorry.
	I wish it wasn't so irritating for you.
	Anyway, Colonel Wilkerson, and all of these clips will be available.
	I'm not going to play everything, of course, but I did pull a lot of stuff.
	So he says, I know why he went into Iraq.
	It was for the oil.
	He says the new Iraq oil report says 300 billion barrels of oil in Iraq.
	It's very obvious.
	And we didn't want to go.
	We couldn't do Iraq, is what he was saying.
	But then he lays into our buddy Ted Rumsfeld, which is just funny.
	Well, my former boss, Colin Powell, recently said that Donald Rumsfeld was delusional and deceptive and he could prove both points.
	My former boss is right.
	And on this issue, Donald Rumsfeld is more delusional than deceptive probably than any other.
	First of all, his last statement about hordes of intelligence is preposterous.
	It didn't produce hordes of intelligence.
	I never saw any raw intelligence past my desk that came from such things, that was actionable, that really led to any circumstance at all that produced a result that was positive.
	Secondly, Donald Roosevelt only has as knowledge what his bureaucracy gave him.
	He wasn't there.
	He wasn't at the site.
	Multiple tiers of bureaucracy gave him the information that he has.
	And he made damn sure that that bureaucracy was sycophant.
	Yes men, yes women.
	He made sure that the people working for him told him what he wanted to hear.
	So one has to expect that Donald Rumsfeld heard what he just said.
	And that was that actionable intelligence was produced by these procedures.
	It's preposterous.
	And let me say one last thing.
	As Christopher Hitchens said after he was actually waterboarded, this is torture, changing his view.
	Let me waterboard Donald Rumsfeld, and then we'll see if he says it's torture or not.
	Why do you think Rumsfeld is doing this?
	He's got to.
	He's got to cover his rear end.
	I mean, there are cases in foreign countries right now being worked by lawyers there.
	One in Switzerland actually kept President George Bush from visiting Switzerland that will, under international auspices, bring cases against Cheney, Rumsfeld, Fythe, Addington, et al.
	These people don't dare resort to anything other than defending their positions, because ultimately, even within their lifetimes, they may be subject to litigation.
	I will predict that, as I've said many times before, they will not travel, except perhaps to Israel and Saudi Arabia.
	So I think that's the answer, John.
	These guys want to take a vacation, so they've got to get waterboarding legalized.
	They can't travel.
	That's the whole problem.
	Well, there's more than just the waterboarding issue.
	Wow.
	Oh, boy.
	That's so sad when that happens.
	We'll see if we can get Johnny Boy back.
	Poor John at his Comcast.
	You know, it's so sad when you can't connect on Skype.
	Yeah.
	You know why?
	Because then Skype goes, aww.
	Have you ever heard that?
	Yeah, it goes, aww.
	Oh, well.
	You're probably right.
	Something's probably up.
	I don't know what it is, but we'll figure it out.
	I mean, either that or it's just really slow news day.
	And they said, okay, what do we got to talk about?
	Ah, let's blast Bush.
	Yeah, well, no.
	I mean, that's what the Bush administration did about Clinton for the first six years.
	That's true.
	But I think it's about the travel thing.
	I think, you know, they're tired of the ranch.
	You know, it's like, I want to go to, like, you know, Europe.
	I'll tell you why that doesn't make any sense to me.
	Bush never liked traveling before he was president.
	I think he was the only president ever elected to the United States presidency who had never been out of the country at the time of his election.
	That's right.
	I remember that.
	You're right.
	Okay.
	Well, then, you know, he's getting older.
	Maybe he wants to, you know, do a world tour or something.
	Backpacking.
	I think this gives him the perfect excuse.
	I think the only reason he did waterboarding is so he had his excuse to stay home.
	Laura's like, George, George, let's go on that backpacking tour we didn't do in college.
	Freaking Europeans, huh?
	Maybe waterboard someone.
	Father, stay here and cut the backboard.
	Anyway, so our president went off and spiked the ball in Kentucky there, where the Navy SEALs are from.
	And, of course, what you did not see on television was on C-SPAN, and that was Vice President O'Biden.
	And who, by the way, looks like he's looking more and more like Henry Winkler.
	Have you noticed this?
	Yes, absolutely.
	He looks like the Fonz.
	He just needs to darken his hair, put a wig on, you know, the Fonz.
	I mean, he made some, like, facial gestures.
	I'm like, it's the Fonz.
	I'm expecting him, you know, to sell, like, reverse mortgage or whatever Henry Winkler's selling these days.
	It's like, wow, he's totally the Fonz.
	So he comes out, and, you know, because he's the warm-up act for...
	For George W. Obama, and here's just a 40-second clip of O. Biden's warm-up speech.
	Comrades, you've lost.
	The loss is you've...
	Oh, by the way, this is about him talking how awesome he is.
	...personally endured.
	You've been in some of the most inhospitable terrain in the world.
	I've been there a number of times.
	I've been there.
	Back up in those damn mountains.
	I'm sorry.
	Those damn mountains?
	It sounds like he was, like, fighting, doesn't it?
	I was up there in them damn mountains.
	That crappy-ass terrain.
	I had frag all over me.
	I got a helicopter down at 9,800 feet, and all I got on was a vest, a bulletproof vest.
	And I had a rubber knife and a compass, and that's all I had when the chopper went down 9,800 feet in them damn mountains.
	I'm Joe O'Biden, everybody.
	Hell, man, I'm out of breath climbing up 40 clicks.
	Clicks, clicks.
	40 feet.
	Yeah, we're talking military lingo here.
	When we're at the camp, we're talking clicks.
	And you guys are up there, 60, 80-pound packs running around.
	You're amazing.
	You're amazing.
	You guys are amazing.
	I'm in awe of the job you do.
	Yeah!
	What a douchebag.
	40 clicks, yeah?
	Yeah, them damn mountains.
	Has this guy been in service at all?
	O'Biden?
	And then he comes out and he tells this stupid-ass story about his granddaughter.
	Which, by the way, I think is leading into something else.
	It's my job today, my honor, to talk a little bit about...
	It's my job.
	I mean, my honor.
	Oops.
	I almost messed up.
	Yeah, that's a good gaffe, Joe.
	Oops.
	It's my job to bring on the man.
	About the man that I get to work with every day.
	Except when I'm on the train.
	We just got to spend time with the assaulters who...
	Assaulters.
	That's interesting.
	The assaulters.
	Yeah, the assaulters.
	Interesting term, isn't it?
	Yeah, and they keep using it.
	They're trying to make that the term.
	got Ben Laden.
	And the shots were just, wow.
	It's like people in trance feel sorry for these people.
	Let me tell you a little story.
	By the way...
	I shouldn't say this, but I'm going to tell you anyway.
	I shouldn't say it.
	Why not?
	You know what?
	Because he's going into overtime, and Obama's like, dude, hurry up and get off the stage, douche.
	The president's going to be mad I'm taking so long, but you know, today was, quote, grandfather's day, so I went by early this morning before I came out here to my granddaughter's.
	A little spring play.
	And after it's all over, she said, Pop, come back to my classroom with me.
	I said, I can, honey.
	She said, you going someplace in Air Force 2?
	I said, yeah, I am, babe.
	She said, where are you going?
	I said, going up.
	True story.
	I said, I'm going to Fort Campbell.
	I said, we're going to see the guys out there who got Osama bin Laden.
	It's an absolutely true story.
	She said, Pop.
	And she grabbed a little friend of hers and she said, my Pop's going out to see the whales.
	Not the seals, the whales.
	As a true story.
	Oh, brother.
	Yeah.
	I think we should thank some producers.
	Yeah.
	Let me just say one thing about the whales, though, because that's not a coincidence, I don't think.
	13 pilot whales beached in Florida.
	Sorry, like 20 beached, 13 dead.
	Warning, warning, warning.
	This is what happened in New Zealand.
	Warning, warning, warning.
	When this happens, something's going to go down.
	Warning, warning.
	Where was this?
	Florida.
	Warning, warning.
	Nothing ever happens in Florida.
	Well, I'm thinking the Gulf Coast.
	Yeah, warning.
	I'm just saying it right now.
	That usually means some kind of natural, air quotes, natural disaster.
	And maybe that's why he said whales to trigger the, so people would pay attention.
	It was the 33rd word in the paragraph.
	You are so pissed off about your connection, I can tell.
	So, let's think if...
	Yeah, I'm not happy about it.
	Let's put it that way.
	A couple of things we got...
	A.J. Reistat.
	We gotta hook him up first, don't we?
	Yeah, but A.J., we've done...
	Unless A.J. was not mentioned as an executive producer, because I read his note at the last show, if you remember, because I went on and on about the No Agender stickers website, vinylrocket.com, if you recall, which is right off of A.J.'s note.
	I don't remember.
	You don't remember talking about the No Agender stickers website?
	The No Agender?
	www.vinylrocket.com slash NA to generate some income.
	Did you say No Agender?
	No Agender.
	I think you did say that, didn't you?
	After my knighthood, my plan, blah, blah, blah.
	He goes on about, he wants to be the Baron.
	Well, I didn't mention this, but he wants to be the Baron of Spudlandia.
	Oh, maybe that's what he wanted to hear.
	Okay, so he was a 300 Club member, was it not?
	Yeah, I think he's listed, though.
	Check.
	Check on the spreadsheet.
	But that was, you know, we could give him another.
	If you want to give him another.
	The problem that we have is our pal from CKP Creative.
	Ah, right.
	Craig.
	Uh-oh.
	Member of the 301 Club.
	I think it was going to be a slow.
	Oh, John.
	Hold on.
	Hold on, baby.
	Hold on, buddy.
	You're breaking up.
	You're breaking up.
	No.
	This is not good.
	It's going to be quite some editing job, that's for sure.
	Yeah.
	Wait, am I breaking up?
	Yeah, you were breaking up big time.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	So, CPK Creative.
	Yeah, Craig Peters is the sole member of the 302 Club.
	He wanted to be a member of a club doing a slow show, which is this show.
	Okay.
	And so he's a member of the 302 Club now and an executive producer along with...
	I want to give one executive producership out to...
	This came in through the mail.
	Carrie Schoen in Munich.
	She's the one who promised that she was going to give $10 for every mile of the last marathon she ran.
	Yeah.
	Which was always $262, apparently.
	This time in Linz, Austria.
	Thanks for helping me on the long runs.
	Thanks for all the work you both do.
	And thanks for not making me the listener the product.
	She donated $262.
	But more interesting is she had a t-shirt made.
	That on the back of the t-shirt it says, I love, with a heart, noagendashow.com in the morning.
	And she explains, which is a PR credit thing.
	It's a great idea.
	Most of the time during a marathon, you're just looking at the back of the person in front of you.
	That's a good point.
	So I had a running shirt made up for the race to spread the word about no agenda to fellow runners.
	Not as good as a bumper sticker, a toll boost, but anyone I passed or who had passed me hopefully saw it and went directly to download the show.
	I think that's a really good idea because, you know, especially if you're like running and you're behind someone, you kind of get into a trance.
	You're like...
	I heart no agenda show dot com in the morning.
	In the morning.
	And that person or those people who are behind you will wake up five years from now still going, I love heart no agenda show in the morning.
	I think it's a good one.
	I like it.
	It's funny.
	So, yeah, I think it's a great idea.
	So, David and Evander, we have an associate executive producer, David Dolson.
	Sir David Dolson, because we knighted him.
	Apparently, we have so many knights now that we've knighted him twice.
	Well, I just read what's on the list, okay?
	You guys knighted me twice.
	Once on April 24th and again last Sunday.
	What a bargain!
	Yeah, what a deal!
	Anyway, this donation's on behalf of Tamara Davis' girlfriend's daughter that listens to the show with me sometimes.
	She enjoys the catchy jingles, especially the Swine Flu Minute.
	Oh, wow.
	Should we play that one for her first?
	Hey, now!
	So please accept this donation toward her damehood.
	P.S. John's take on the Usama assassination was kick-ass.
	You need to get the movie rights on that one nailed down now.
	Yeah, right.
	Movie rights.
	Okay.
	So we'll have some more donors mentioned at the break, but those are our executive producers for today's show.
	And...
	If we don't have AJ listed for the previous show where he sent his money and we'll put him on this one as an executive producer.
	I do appreciate Craig Peters of CPK Creative.
	Am I saying that right?
	CPK Creative?
	It's CKP. Oops.
	CKP Creative.
	See, we'll get another email from him if we mess it up.
	CKPCreative.com.
	Yes, for coming in as a 302 Club member because, yes, a very, very light week so far.
	Exactly.
	And you can also make sure to go to NoAgendaNation.com and there's a big giant donation button you can click on.
	You can also buy various items there.
	It's also a store.
	And the cut that we get from that store is quite good.
	So we want to thank some PR initiatives that have been taking place.
	BarackOsama2012.com now forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com.
	Also, I guess these are kind of for Eric.
	We have ShillBusiness.com, ShillBusinessNews.com, which I kind of like.
	ShillBiz.com and ShillBizNews.com.
	Sir Pete putting all that together for us.
	All of that forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com.
	Oberma.com.
	O-H-B-U-R-M-A.com.
	I'm sure that'll be handy in the future.
	SnakeLips.com.
	And DigitalDictatorship.com along with OrdinaryLiberty.com.
	All of these forwarding to our little website there, NoAgendaShow.com.
	And let's see, we have...
	And then the one that you didn't like that much, but I thought was pretty good, was obamadeadladen.com, or obamadeadladen, depending on how you want to pronounce it.
	And we appreciate all of those initiatives.
	And of course, stuff like the t-shirt is fantastic.
	So everyone else out there who's in the chat room, charged up and ready to go as a good human resource, propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	I was on too late for me last night.
	Larry King finally had his big Alzheimer's show.
	Oh, I thought that was last Sunday.
	Maybe it was a repeat.
	I don't know.
	It had to be a repeat, yeah, because it ran originally on a Sunday.
	Did you see it at all?
	Did you see the big Alzheimer's show?
	No, I forgot to watch it.
	Oh, hey, I'll give you a little Hot Pockets.
	Hot Pockets!
	Very good.
	Yeah, I saw the first 20 minutes.
	It was on at 11 last night.
	But I don't think there was any solutions.
	It was just an awareness thing.
	And so something must be coming.
	The pharmaceutical industry is really going nuts.
	I'm trying to figure out what to do after all of these patents expire.
	And I think weed is the big one for them.
	That's starting to become really clear.
	Have you been following some of the weed stuff?
	No, tell me.
	So, we now have multiple states who have basically been saying, hey, we just make marijuana legal, but the federales, particularly in California, once again, they're cracking down on all the marijuana dispensaries, and we're seeing news now from multiple pharmaceutical companies.
	Hold on a second.
	Wait, stop.
	What?
	That can't be true, because Obama promised that that would stop.
	Yeah, well, it's not.
	Huh.
	And Colorado had a medical marijuana bill, and it looks like they're going to cancel that.
	Of course, Colorado, you know, the seat of the shadow government there, the CIA, and everyone's moved to headquarters out there, so that's not going to happen.
	I think what it is is that the pharmaceutical industry is lobbying hard inside Congress and the administration to let them be the sole distributors of the weed and get all the medical stuff off the streets and then you have to go to a doctor, like properly, right?
	Not just like, oh, I think I have glaucoma.
	I think I need a prescription.
	This is what I think is happening.
	That would make sense.
	We have a governor in Washington State who's killing the marijuana initiative up there, which probably grows a lot of it.
	And Greg Warr is her name.
	She is just a horrible person.
	And I believe that she would obviously be in the pocket of pharmaceutical companies.
	I don't know why she gets elected.
	She's just terrible.
	Well, it's because you're not up there around voting time.
	You're down in San Francisco?
	She's not losing by one vote, I can tell you that right now.
	Okay, okay.
	No, but I've seen some notes here and there about big pharma thinking, hey, this is pretty good.
	Because basically, it's real easy to make, right?
	It's not hard to grow it.
	You don't have to add anything.
	It's a weed.
	They had it growing outside of Bin Laden's compound.
	Bin Laden was a toker.
	I love that.
	Dude.
	Did you see that video that they were showing of him watching the 13-inch television?
	No.
	If you didn't see this, this was like the biggest news.
	I thought we were going to drop this Bin Laden thing.
	It's not about Bin Laden.
	It's about the funniest show on earth, which is what's going on now.
	This was on C-SPAN. No, I didn't see it.
	Yeah, they had a closed meeting of the press, non-televised, because, oh, God forbid, you know, we, like, get some clips from it.
	And this is where they showed, you know, they showed, oh, we've got this mountain of evidence, and we've got this video of Bin Laden, and there's some very interesting information here.
	This is from C-SPAN. The Pentagon held an off-camera briefing for reporters with more details about the killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. forces.
	We're joined on the phone by one of the reporters who was in the room, the Washington Times National Security Editor Bill Gertz.
	What kind of a transparency is this, by the way?
	An off-camera, non-televised press conference.
	Why is that?
	It's highly annoying.
	Bill, what did you find out?
	Lots of new information and a lot of new details are coming out.
	This was a briefing by a senior intelligence official.
	Thank you.
	Al-Qaeda is in its death throes.
	Some 20 of their leaders have been killed over the past couple of years, and now their top leader is dead.
	When Al-Qaeda made the announcement, according to this official, they did not name a successor.
	There were also some details in there about how the number two Al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, is not popular with the group and appears not to be The person who will take over the leadership role.
	That is interesting, because of course this guy is brainwashed.
	I think when he walked into the Pentagon they had the big magnets.
	I'm getting some very new information here.
	So the information we're getting from this is that Zabalvir, what is his name?
	Zabaka Zabalvir is not popular.
	He's not being chosen for dodgeball games by Al-Qaeda, which can only mean one thing.
	That the new boogeyman is going to be our boy, Al-Awlaki.
	Oh, that could be.
	Yeah, of course.
	And, you know, the president tried to kill him.
	No, he didn't try to kill him.
	He's got an order to kill him.
	I'm sorry.
	He ordered to kill him, and they sent a drone to him in Yemen, which we haven't done since 2002, and we missed, apparently.
	But we killed two other people.
	It doesn't really matter.
	Well, he may be an asset.
	We don't know that he's really...
	Yeah, but that's not the point.
	The point is he's an American citizen, and he hasn't been tried for anything, and then just go shoot a drone up his butt.
	Yeah, well, I know.
	It's a problem.
	Nobody seems to care.
	You think?
	You think it's a problem?
	I care?
	Well, you're the only, me too, and Judge Napolitano, we're the only three.
	And maybe, I don't even think Ron Paul cares.
	Yeah, he probably does, but he has other things to do.
	He's in debates that no one's watching.
	He's in other important stuff.
	Did you watch that, by the way?
	I did.
	I did.
	Oh, good.
	Well, tell me what happened because I didn't watch it.
	It was hilarious.
	First of all, it's like a show now.
	It's not even a debate.
	It's just a show.
	And they got stupid questions.
	And then they go down.
	And by the way, none of the candidates are actually interesting like Bachman or Trump.
	These are the people you want to see for the show.
	But then they ask each candidate a question.
	And they put these horrible words into their mouths, like Ron Paul.
	I don't have a clip, but this is Ron Paul.
	So you advocate heroin.
	And Ron Paul's like, well, that's not exactly what I said.
	I said, you know, but the government has no business telling you what you can put in your body or not.
	That's up to you.
	But the way the question is framed is you advocate heroin and cocaine.
	See, I can't talk about anything.
	And then they just disconnect John.
	Boy, this is like the old days, like old school all of a sudden we're getting these disconnects.
	That's awesome.
	Don't make fun of the debates, man.
	So, yeah, that is funny, though, that they would do that.
	Let me just continue with a little bit of this fantastic news because there is something very important we need to know.
	While we're talking with you, we're showing some of the home video footage that was taken from Abbottabad, Pakistan.
	What did they say about these home videos and the way they identified bin Laden?
	Yes, this was part of what they said was the largest intelligence take from a senior al-Qaeda leader that has ever been since 9-11.
	Basically, there were five videos.
	The first was a video that was a message to America from Bin Laden.
	They showed about a minute of video from that and did not release the audio.
	The senior official said that we do not want to be in the position of replaying propaganda.
	It was non-televised anyway.
	And what was the point of just showing the video and not the audio to the people?
	A guy could have been doing a review of Spider-Man, for all we know.
	Exactly!
	Hello?
	I'm Osama Bin Laden.
	I have seen Spider-Man on Broadway.
	I must tell.
	You're very...
	It sucks.
	The music...
	Bono!
	Bono, get your shit together!
	You're right.
	That's probably what it was.
	They said that it was some time-worn themes of al-Qaeda.
	Well, if it was time-worn, how come you didn't let the free press listen to it?
	And their typical type of message.
	There was two short videos showing outtakes of a prepared statement by bin Laden.
	And then the most interesting...
	Most interesting.
	John, what could be the most interesting thing?
	What could be the most interesting thing?
	As this senior...
	Security reporter from the Washington Times has been in a closed-door, non-televised press briefing at the Pentagon.
	What could the most interesting piece of information be?
	One was actually Ben Laden himself watching a small television monitor with video footage of himself and Ayman al-Zawahiri in a mountain place, a video that has been shown many times.
	What was unique was that Bin Laden's beard was completely gray.
	Oh!
	Wow!
	I'm amazed.
	His beard was gray, John.
	Well, that's very interesting.
	Meanwhile...
	Back at the ranch.
	Play the Joy Behar clip.
	Let's just take...
	This was taken from the Hannity show.
	How can this be funnier than C-SPAN and the gray beard?
	It's not funnier.
	It's just funnier on a different plane.
	If we use these enhanced techniques, then they can use them on us.
	They do use them on us.
	It just encourages more of it around the world, and then our soldiers have to endure it.
	And then the other thing is, it's possible that a $6 million book deal would have worked just as well.
	You know what I mean?
	There are other ways to get information out of people, pay them off.
	Who knows what would have worked?
	Maybe she forgot 9-11, the beheading of Danny Pearl and Nick Berg.
	You know what?
	I don't think bribing them with a book deal is actually going to make them like us.
	It's just my gut instinct.
	Sean, I don't say this lightly.
	I'm not trying to be pejorative about this.
	Joy Behart is an idiot.
	I don't know how we're going to put this.
	She is an idiot.
	Let's see.
	The CIA would sit down with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and say, okay, guy, we can waterboard you, or we can give you $6 million for a book deal.
	All you have to do is cough up Bin Laden's name.
	And, oh, by the way, we're going to put you on Oprah.
	I mean, what is she talking about?
	Yeah, I actually saw the original that was on The View when she said that.
	That was pretty funny.
	I loved it.
	She's an idiot!
	Hey, stop listening to our show and taking our lines.
	She's an idiot.
	Yeah, you know, the Oprah thing, so first of all, Oprah is failing, and I think the Wall Street Journal had a report about it in their Saturday-Sunday edition, which they still continue to give me for free, thinking I'm going to fall in their trap and order it.
	So they fired the CEO of OWN, and so she's out due to lackluster ratings.
	Now, this replaced the Discovery Health Channel.
	It's a joint venture between Oprah and Discovery.
	The ratings now are worse than Discovery Health Channel was getting before they took it off the air.
	Well, have you looked at this?
	Yes.
	No, I watch it.
	Of course, I'm very interested.
	It sucks.
	It blows.
	If it was Oprah all the time, it would be interesting.
	So Oprah's winding down her regular show, and this is destined to fail.
	So she's pulling out all the stops.
	Now, if you had a call to make, and you're Oprah, and you really want to get the ratings on, who are you going to call?
	I don't know.
	Trump.
	No.
	A woman.
	It's got to be a woman.
	It's a women's network.
	Come on.
	Think logically.
	Britney Spears.
	No, you want to call...
	No!
	No, you want to call Lucifer.
	You want to get Hillary on.
	Hillary is a ratings bonanza.
	What the hell was going to go turn on?
	Was she going to give Hillary her own talk show?
	Ah, no, but when you put her together with Julia Roberts, all of a sudden it becomes very interesting.
	Julia Roberts has a big Mother's Day show, and she and Hillary got together to talk about hair.
	Do you get tired of being asked about your hair?
	No, I mean, because what would I do if I weren't?
	I mean, really, I just...
	You said a great thing when you said if you want to knock something off the front page, you change your hairstyle.
	In the middle of the next big crisis, whatever it is, I'm cutting my hair.
	The next time we bomb some brown people in the desert, I'm just going to cut my hair.
	We have to be on the lookout for this, John.
	They should have a soundtrack of a bunch of chickens cackling in the background.
	I'm just going to cut my...
	Next time I kill someone in a desert, I'm just going to cut my hair and no one will notice.
	Believe me, we won't be reading about whatever war is going on.
	Whoever I'm killing, we won't be reading about that.
	Who's busy looking at my hair?
	It's so beautiful.
	Rather terrible thing.
	You know, I think your hair is one of the best parts of your body because you can change it so easily.
	But, you know, every woman thinks, oh my gosh, if I were just this or just that.
	And, you know, you just have to be happy with who you are.
	But the one part of your body you can change is your hair.
	No wonder Bill went for Monica.
	If I had to listen to that at home, like, really, woman?
	Are you kidding me?
	So I've never understood these people who say, okay, you've got to pick a hairstyle and stick with it.
	How boring would that be?
	I can't do that.
	You have nice hair.
	Well, thank you.
	You have nice hair.
	I love your hair.
	Hey, man, I love your hair.
	I love your hair, too.
	Thank you.
	I love your hair.
	It's so beautiful.
	So, you know, people always forget that Oprah took a shot at this some time ago, which failed miserably, with Paul Allen and the Oxygen Network.
	Right, right.
	And that thing was a dog.
	Well, she probably cashed in her chips really early, and she's probably vested or whatever.
	She's paid.
	But, no, this is going nowhere.
	But she's trying an A for effort.
	You know, you bring Lucifer on with Julia Roberts.
	I mean, that's not bad.
	She stinks.
	So Lucifer, of course, you know, because Lucifer, Lucifer Clinton, you know, she can't be seen as a woman, right?
	I mean, that's just not possible.
	She's in a man's game.
	So when questioned in Rome about her hand gesture in the so-called situation room as they were playing Xbox 360...
	Of course, we want to know.
	Were you in horror?
	Were you aghast?
	What was going on?
	Did you see the two shots to the head, the bullet hole in the eye?
	Why did you have your hand over your mouth, Madam Secretary?
	Now, with respect to your second question, those were the 38 of the most intense minutes.
	minutes i have no idea uh what any of us were looking at at that particular millisecond when the picture was taken uh i'm somewhat sheepishly uh concerned that it was uh my preventing uh one of my early spring allergic coughs so it may have no great meaning whatsoever no okay I'm glad you cleared that up.
	Wow.
	Well, I have to say the news was really dreadful since the last show.
	And to prove it, I have an extra...
	Back to real news.
	And now, back to real news.
	Can I go right into it?
	And you know how we play clips from, we play the intro to Extra, which has all the information you'd ever want just in the teaser.
	Yes.
	And it's always just, it's always this obscure celebrity stuff that people you've never heard of.
	Right.
	And it's like, wow, I mean, you're completely out of the loop on all these characters.
	This one sounds like, for one thing, they had to dredge up like old timers.
	And, I mean, it just doesn't sound, this doesn't have the same life.
	There's absolutely nothing going on with celebrity news.
	Extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra. Extra, extra.
	J-Lo's back.
	You're home away from home now.
	Breaking idol news.
	Someone emerging, do you think?
	Her new music with Lady Gaga.
	Her new reality show, her live idol reunion with Pia.
	Ben!
	What up, Jen?
	Our all-star surprise for Jen and how we just rocked her world.
	Oh, my God!
	Kirstie breaks news about her giant next move after dancing.
	I hear you're getting a lot of offers.
	Yeah.
	Johnny Depp's new extra one-on-one revealing his secret aliases.
	Is it true that you have a nickname, Mr.
	Stench?
	I'm French, Monsieur Poupie.
	All-new Julia talks motherhood.
	Have you ever had a baby?
	Why she's teaming with Oprah to investigate America's moms.
	Then...
	I'm gonna lean this way.
	You lean that way.
	Okay, we're like this.
	We're good.
	Alec Baldwin giving me his plans after 30 Rock in my newsflash during the interview.
	Are you?
	Yes.
	Extra! Extra!
	Welcome to Extra!
	I'm Mario Lopez.
	Mario Lopez at the Grove, everybody.
	Alec Baldwin?
	Kirstie Alley?
	I mean, who cares?
	There was some real celebrity news, John, that you must have missed.
	First of all, we all need to take our medicine.
	Now, you remember I told you that Eva Longoria and Emilio Estevez were all you remember I told you that Eva Longoria and Emilio Estevez were all at Yeah.
	In a closed-door meeting?
	Right.
	So, she was at the United States Senate.
	It's crazy when you see...
	By the way, Eva Longoria is beautiful.
	You know she's like 5'1".
	She's very, very tiny.
	But she is stunningly beautiful.
	But she should not be off script.
	She should not be answering questions from the press.
	Because she reveals way too much, doth I thinketh.
	And, of course, this is part of the entire push, which we're hearing about right now.
	Hillary Clinton with Julia Roberts, with Oprah.
	The whole idea is get more celebrities involved, and that's how we start pushing the agenda onto the slaves.
	And Eva Longoria has been recruited as a part of the MKUltra program, and she is now in charge of telling the Latino.
	And you have to say it like that, by the way.
	Latino.
	Slaves, what to do?
	You recently met with President Obama to talk about immigration reform, and I'm just interested to hear what was discussed at the meeting and coming out of the meeting, what you think is the best foot forward on that issue.
	Yes, last week we were asked to meet with President Obama.
	There's about ten of us that are considered influential in the media in hopes to reframe the immigration argument.
	Okay, reframe the immigration argument.
	Oh, no, no, I wasn't supposed to say that.
	Or the immigration conversation.
	Oh, yes, the conversation.
	That's what we agreed.
	Oh, I'm so stupid.
	And...
	Maybe I should talk to someone else.
	We were...
	It was like a brainstorming room.
	Oh, it was brainstorming.
	That's right.
	I forgot it was brainstorming because it was like a storm in my head.
	It felt like that was the MK Ultra.
	She should write these notes down and have them in front of her.
	The magnetic waves were jumbling my brain.
	It had a storm in my brain.
	Emilio was there.
	Emilio was there.
	I remember that, though.
	And it was very beneficial to know what is happening, what are the roadblocks that he's been facing.
	The roadblocks he's been facing, our Presidente.
	And how can we help?
	And how can we be the messengers?
	Ah, we have to be the messengers, right!
	Of what is being done and what is not being done.
	It's going to be a long process.
	We have to hold accountable many people of Congress.
	Can you hear that she was brainwashed?
	I mean, seriously.
	These are all the talking points that have been shoved into her beautiful head, and she's just like...
	And hopefully in 2012, hopefully the DREAM Act will come up before 2012, and those who do not support comprehensive immigration reform...
	Don't get to think of me naked and masturbate.
	We'll hopefully pay for it in those elections.
	We're going to pay!
	We're going to make them pay!
	And that's what we're hoping to do is aggregate the Latino audience to come out and make their voices known as to what they want to see in immigration reform.
	And it was a very open conversation.
	We talked a lot about Secure Communities Program.
	We talked a lot about deportations.
	We talked a lot about how the perception is with Latinos.
	Latinos.
	Do you hear?
	Latinos.
	Isn't that funny?
	Like, her English is impeccable, like Los Angeles, and then all of a sudden, Latinos.
	It's like, why does she do that?
	Is that like Montreal?
	Yeah, it's like the Canadians.
	It's like...
	They're talking in perfect English and they're talking this broken French and then they're back to the English.
	That's the only word though.
	That's just an indicator that she's on some side of an argument.
	I mean, we had a guy, Lloyd LaQuesta here at KGO, who used to always say, I'm Lloyd LaQuesta reporting from San Jose.
	And then it would always be like, every time he was in...
	It's like, okay, Lloyd.
	Latinos.
	And our frustrations.
	So he had an open ear and he was listening to...
	He had very big open ears.
	...to all of us just talk about what is being perceived in the Latino community.
	And I think it was an important dialogue to be had and it's a dialogue that has to continue.
	And basically...
	Right now there are people behind her going like, shut up, shut up, shut up, stop.
	That's enough.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	It's in our hands.
	We have to continue to put pressure to see this reform take place.
	Longoria also...
	No, okay.
	So, to my brothers and sisters in the Latino community, beware of what she's bringing you.
	Yeah, there's doom and destruction.
	Well, she can't be as bad as some people who are actually in Congress.
	By the way, if she ran for office, she'd have my vote.
	No doubt about it.
	I wouldn't vote for her.
	Of course you'd vote for her.
	I wouldn't vote for her.
	Are you kidding me?
	No, what do you mean am I kidding you?
	I mean, because it would bring us so much entertainment.
	Nah, she wouldn't.
	She'd be like Frank in a couple of weeks and then he disappears.
	Okay.
	You get more of the guys I like to vote.
	You talk about entertainment?
	Listen to Mel Watt.
	Now this guy was the former, he's a Democrat from North Carolina that I consider him now to be the dumbest Or the worst congressman ever.
	The guy can't say three words in a row without going, uh, uh.
	Now, he's the former chair of the Monetary Policy Subcommittee.
	Oh, okay.
	He's got Bernanke in front of him, and this is what he comes up with.
	Chair, I recognize the gentleman from North Carolina, Mr.
	Watt, for five minutes.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Chairman, and thank you, Chairman Bernanke, for being here.
	Chairman Bernanke, you know, and I'm sure the folks at the Fed know that...
	He's from the South, I presume.
	He's from the state of dumb.
	As chair of the Monetary Policy Subcommittee for the last couple of years, I gained a healthy respect for the work that you all were doing.
	And I think that you all did a...
	Great job to get us to where we are today.
	They have five minutes, don't they?
	Is that kind of the deal?
	This guy uses the five minutes up on the one question.
	This is kind of what you do when you didn't do your homework.
	And I want to applaud the work of your staff on that front.
	I think your dog did a fine job, too.
	My question is today, really, I want to go outside the box a little bit because I think I have some concerns about things that are further down the road that I think could really be difficult economic, fiscal, social.
	Okay, stop, stop, stop.
	Now, I could do an Ask Adam here, and out of the blue, he's got Bernanke.
	He's a former finance committee chairman, believe it or not.
	Can you imagine?
	He's got a question for Bernanke.
	What do you think it might be about?
	The question?
	Yeah.
	Would he talk about the deficit?
	Would he talk about the problem getting loans from banks?
	I think he will ask why...
	What?
	I think he will ask why pirates have knives in their teeth.
	Well, you're getting closer.
	Impacts to our economy.
	And my question is, to what extent are you all...
	Doing things in these areas, studying or looking down the road to anticipate some of these issues.
	Okay, so before this hearing, Bernanke went up and said, hey, just tee it up for me, okay?
	Just tee it up.
	Just, you know, just drag the clock out, just tee it up for me so I can just tell you what the program is.
	I mean, isn't that exactly what happened?
	Screw all these guys!
	No!
	What, no?
	It's not what happens.
	It gets better?
	There are two of them that I want to talk about.
	One is climate change, which from all indications is going to result in dramatic weather swings at the extremes.
	Really?
	That will have devastating impacts on the economy.
	Economically.
	That make New Orleans look like a swimming pool.
	Small potatoes on the coast, in the west, in the Gulf.
	That's great.
	Let's give him a biodiversity.
	He goes on and on with this climate change theory.
	And Bernanke is going, what do I got to do with it?
	That's fantastic.
	The guy's an idiot.
	Yes.
	Yeah, he is.
	I love it, though.
	There's no one ums.
	There are always um, um.
	Yeah.
	Hello, everybody.
	Yeah, at least he's not like that.
	Wow.
	Yeah, you're right.
	And he's North Carolina, I believe, right?
	Yeah.
	I'm sorry.
	I feel so sorry.
	I feel sorry for North Carolina, too.
	Yeah, and it's bad.
	Wow.
	Huh.
	Let me see.
	There's a couple of things.
	Before we go into thanking people, since it's kind of a shorter list today, I just can't resist.
	I have to play this Fox News piece, which is the meme-fest of all meme-fests, which is the reason why I'm calling myself the low-hast.
	Can you bear with me and listen to the lone wolf clip?
	Or are you just so sick and tired of Al-Qaeda?
	As long as you don't have to keep listening to that sound effect.
	But it's my new theme.
	It's my new theme.
	It's my ringtone.
	When you hit my website, you just go to curry.com.
	I want to be known.
	It doesn't even sound like a wolf.
	It sounds like some guy trying to sound like a wolf.
	No, that's a real lone wolf.
	Anyway, okay, I won't play that anymore.
	You have to be different.
	We have to focus on the intelligence community.
	We have to focus on...
	This is Michelle Bachman, by the way.
	...interrogation.
	This woman, that's Congresswoman Michelle Bachman, on the next battle in the war on terror.
	Terror?
	Terror?
	Squat!
	And already there are concerns that radical imam...
	Radical.
	Do you hear this?
	She's like a radical.
	Tewa.
	Anwar al-Awlaki could be al-Qaeda's new leading face.
	Ah, okay.
	Let's bring in someone, some expert to tell us about this.
	Yemeni-American was...
	What are the qualifications of being al-Qaeda's new face, John?
	Do you know what the qualifications are?
	It has to be in the memo.
	Yes, that's part one.
	But you need some other things.
	You need some other qualifications.
	And this expert will tell us.
	Born in New Mexico in 1971.
	Okay, born in America.
	Yeah, we can play that.
	He lived in both Britain and the U.S. I've lived in Britain and the U.S., yes.
	Here at home, he worked as an imam.
	I have worked as an imam.
	...reports he's a suspected terrorist on the CIA's capture or kill list.
	Stephen Yates is the former deputy assistant to the vice president for national security affairs.
	Good morning, Mr.
	Yates.
	Hello.
	Good morning.
	Okay, so Michelle Bachmann was talking about the new tactics needed to fight the new al-Qaeda.
	Let's talk about...
	It's the new Al-Qaeda.
	John, just so you know, there's a rebranding taking place.
	Hill and Knowlton are in.
	It's the new Al-Qaeda, everybody.
	You ready?
	The new Al-Qaeda.
	Is this a new group now that Bin Laden is dead?
	Well, this group has existed for some time.
	This radical imam is...
	It's just a rebranding.
	...one who was born in the United States, as you noted.
	He's familiar with our airport security systems.
	He's familiar with aviation, right?
	I'm on this checklist.
	I've got every single one so far, including the imam thing.
	He's web-savvy, fluid...
	Web-savvy!
	There you go.
	He's web savvy.
	He's web savvy.
	English is particularly focused on attacking the United States by way of using foreigners and Muslim Americans.
	See foreigners.
	He's tied to the Christmas Day attack and also the Fort Hood shooting.
	So he's been active for some time.
	And in an interesting way, it's really this Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula group that has been more active than Osama bin Laden and his ilk in recent years.
	So they're not terribly new, but very dangerous.
	Does al-Awlaki have the sort of power and following that bin Laden did?
	He's a rock star, and he's web-savvy.
	Well, I think what's important to remember in all of these groups is that there is a violent ideology that drives them that they use to recruit.
	It predates Bin Laden, it predates Al-Qaeda.
	And so, really, that is what helps them organize, what helps them recruit, and what gets people committed to kill themselves on the way toward killing Americans and other targets.
	And so, yes, he will have those tools available.
	To him to recruit.
	He is, as I said, web-savvy.
	Web-savvy!
	And is recruiting people even in the United States to be his assets to conduct attacks.
	Do you think he's recruiting me, John?
	It could happen.
	And so what keeps national security types like yourself awake at night?
	Is it Anwar al-Awlaki or is it the lone wolf homegrown terrorist back here?
	Well, I don't think that anybody can really sleep well.
	What show is this?
	I didn't hear you earlier.
	Fox.
	What are we playing here?
	This is a bunch of propagandistic bullcrap.
	That's why I'm playing it, so you can see what the memes are.
	I told you it was a meme fest.
	This is the whole point.
	But what is it that we're listening to?
	Fox.
	It's just Fox News.
	Oh, brother.
	Yeah, but this is important, because these are the memes.
	The new Al-Qaeda, web-savvy, American, homegrown, lone wolf.
	It's all in one.
	This is pathetic.
	This is worse than MSNBC. Yeah.
	Hard to believe.
	I like the web savvy thing though.
	I think that really does it for me.
	You're web savvy and you...
	Just listen to this guy.
	Come on.
	This is important to understand and I'll never talk about it again until they arrest me.
	...night that they have the whole map of the threats against us mastered.
	It's really quite an overwhelming brief that the president and his national security staff get every morning.
	If you remember 9-11, it wasn't Osama bin Laden himself that boarded the planes.
	Thanks for the reminder, douche.
	He sent other people, and so we can have our focus on these individuals, where they are, what they're communicating, but we have to watch a whole host of other faces that we might not necessarily know until an operation is conducted.
	And obviously we've heard this for a long time, since 9-11, that one of the things that's changed with Al-Qaeda, the new Al-Qaeda, if you will, is that they're no longer so intent on the large-scale dramatic attacks that we saw with 9-11.
	If they were just to find some amenable lone wolves here who could simultaneously go out with guns, it might cause a similar fear.
	That's definitely true.
	It could cause similar fear.
	I mean, if you recall, at the time of 9-11, we had somewhat simultaneously the fear of a sniper running around the nation's capital area, and we just couldn't know for a long time.
	That created a lot of fear and terror of itself.
	But I think the key point is, we don't really know how large of an attack these men are planning.
	They could be testing our systems with minor attacks in order to I think with the counter-terrorism portfolio, political leaders have to treat it as if it's nitroglycerin.
	You can't have a mission accomplished moment in any of these tactical victories because you never know when the next shoe may drop.
	We have a graphic now, sort of a murderer's row, if you will, of the newest faces of Al Qaeda.
	And it's hard to see, but some of the most interesting notable ones there are obviously Anwar al-Awlaki and Adam Gaddan, another American.
	How do you explain these two?
	Well, I mean, people of all stripes are susceptible to recruitment and these kinds of things.
	I think that there's a widespread disenchantment in some quarters of the United States.
	There's actually a virulent ideology of the United States that seems to hate our government and hate our people.
	Ah, hate the government!
	And I don't fully understand the psychology of how someone could make that full conversion, but it's very real that there are these weak human beings and weak psyches that are out there to be recruited by these evildoers.
	There you go.
	So, I think we fit the bill, John.
	Weak psyches.
	Weak psyches and people who've turned the corner to become lone wolves, recruited, and we're Americans and we're web savvy.
	Well, that wouldn't describe you since you call yourself the lone wolf.
	The show must move by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on your agenda In the morning So we have a few donors.
	Not too many.
	We were waiting for a fall off and I think this qualifies.
	You know, we could be pushing a little harder since on the 21st of May, the date of the rapture, we're all going to die.
	So I figure why don't you send us your cash now.
	Yeah, because otherwise it's just useless.
	Because you might be pulled if it's a rapture day.
	If you think you're going to be dragged to heaven unceremoniously, which is what will happen, you just get yanked right out of here.
	I mean, you might as well send us some donations and become an executive producer in absentia.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You don't even have to write a will or testament or anything.
	Yeah, it wouldn't hurt.
	You can use a couple of memories.
	What show would that be?
	305, 306?
	Yeah, what are we today?
	It's the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th.
	Yeah, something like that.
	305?
	Yeah.
	305 Club.
	You know, the Doomsday Club.
	The Doomsday Club.
	We'll call it the Doomsday Club.
	So you can donate $5.21, $52.10, or $521.
	I think 521, right?
	We're hoping somebody gives us, donates and helps us contribute 521.
	Supports the show, yes, exactly.
	Jorn Pennenberg in the Netherlands, in Holland, needs some karma.
	He sent us $155 and he needs some karma for his apartment hunt.
	You've got karma.
	And he's actually from Kau de Kerk on the Rhine.
	Which is a lovely town.
	Is that on a river?
	Yes, on the Rhine River.
	So Van Dyke, it wasn't Van Dyke van Rijn, was that the same thing?
	Rembrandt van Rijn.
	He'll be from the river.
	Yes, Rembrandt of the Rhine, technically.
	Well, this all happened when Napoleon took over.
	You know, I've told you this story, I think, before.
	When Napoleon marched through Gitmo Nation lowlands, everyone had to go and register.
	And the Dutch at the time weren't the subservient slaves that they are now, and they all went like, oh yeah, really?
	Well, okay.
	And they all made up these crazy names, like, I'm, you know, the guy was the carpenter.
	I'm Pete Carpenter.
	Oh, okay, Pete Carpenter.
	I'm Tom Baker.
	Okay, Tom Baker.
	But there are some crazy ones like, you know, poopitoutyourbutt.com.
	Okay, poopitoutyourbutt.com.
	So there are some crazy names in Holland.
	And a lot of it is son.
	You know, like Janssen would be Jan's son.
	So that's where all these crazy names came from, from the re-registration when Napoleon came through.
	There's some funny ones.
	And people have had to change those over the years because they're not quite so funny a couple hundred years later.
	Yeah, well, I enjoy trying to pronounce them.
	Let's see.
	Itis...
	How do you think it would pronounce this?
	Itishmira.
	Itishmira.
	Bicker?
	I think Bicker or Bicker.
	Yeah, she's from Aruba.
	She's from Aruba, Aruba.
	Aruba, everybody.
	Yeah, I remember when I was in Bonaire.
	We did the show from Bonaire.
	I think she was actually in Bonaire at the time.
	She and her...
	I think boyfriend or husband were listening.
	$11.11.
	My dear boyfriend is turning 28th on the 11th of May.
	He's been a listener for some time.
	Although he's never donated.
	This calls for a live douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	His name is Robert Crows from Bonaire.
	We've been mentioned once in the show and that got me the best girlfriend ever.
	Fame.
	Frame.
	Frame.
	Oh, a frame that says the best girlfriend ever.
	You should have given me a mug that says that.
	Or a t-shirt.
	We love the show.
	Or a t-shirt.
	And from my part, I really appreciate the job you guys do, and I really feel bad when you say the show has that little donation, that little donation came in, and perhaps not a lot of people are listening.
	No, they're listening, but they're not donating.
	They're boners, not donors.
	I, for one, can rarely listen live due to work, but I can't even listen live today.
	But I do listen to the shows just only a few days later, and she goes on and on and says, the money is almost double my currency.
	I'm not part of the New World Order, so my funds are limited.
	And hopefully we can buy a piece of cake with the donation.
	Yes.
	And it says, Robert Crows, pick up the phone, douchebag!
	Alright, so we'll make sure that we will put him on the birthday list.
	Thank you.
	Mike Potter, Lake St.
	Louis, Missouri.
	$111.11.
	He needs some karma for a safe and profitable year of concrete contracting.
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	Cement boots, if you know what I'm saying.
	Damien Taman of Perth, the place that I've always wanted to visit.
	$111.
	Dear John and Adam, another donation coming from Papua New Guinea.
	He's not in Perth.
	He's in Papua.
	Again, you guys keep...
	You know, they still have headhunters there, I believe.
	Again, you guys are keeping me sane while working 14- to 16-hour days.
	Can you please give a big douchebag shout-out to all the idiot human resources out there?
	Douchebag!
	I have quickly realized that if the quality of people I deal with on a daily basis is an accurate reflection on our society, we are doomed!
	You know, whenever John and I have a conversation outside the show, which is very, very rare, it's usually like this.
	Hey, we're screwed.
	And then John will say, I think we were always screwed.
	And I'll say, yeah, but we weren't broke then.
	He says, yeah, that's true.
	So there you go.
	It's fascinating.
	It's a fact.
	It's a fact.
	A fascinating conversation.
	Bjorn Zessick, or Z-Zack, Z-E-S-S-A-C-K.
	I think it's Bjorn, not Bjorn.
	It could be Bjorn.
	Bjorn.
	Bjorn, Bjorn in Hamburg.
	50 doomed euros for a tongue twister.
	How many cookies could a good cook cook if a good cook cook cook cook cook?
	Missed it.
	Let me try it.
	How many cookies could a good cook cook if a good cook cook?
	That's hard, isn't it?
	Yeah, it's because of the cook could cook.
	Let me try the...
	I'm from North Carolina.
	How many cookies?
	Hello, everybody!
	How many cookies could a good cook cook?
	If a good cook could cook good cookies.
	Hello, everybody!
	And then there's a follow-up, which is a good cook could cook as much cookies as a good cook who could cook cookies.
	I can get that part.
	All right, what's the point?
	$69 donation from Bjorn.
	Thank you, Bjorn.
	Hamburg, one of the great cities of Deutschland.
	Vladimir Stashkoff, 5555.
	My name is Vladimir Stashkoff.
	Vladimir.
	Vladimir.
	What did I say?
	Doesn't matter.
	It wasn't right.
	Oh, well, that's...
	I am from Gitmo Nation Vodka.
	Kimirovo.
	So far away, you'll click on a link in Google Maps and you'll see that I'm really in the middle of a river.
	Huge fan and a proud listener of No Agenda's show.
	It says, February 10th, I want to thank you and say, it is true, not only does your show have great entertainment value, but there's also enormous educational value because you're learning English as I do.
	By the way, we need to promote the idea because I ran into this in Spain.
	A bunch of people that were our fans were actually people that wanted to listen to the show just so they could hear something in English that wasn't annoying.
	That's a good point.
	And if you have family overseas, perhaps in the Latino community, you could just give them a copy of No Agenda Show and they'd learn all about the country they're going to come into illegally.
	Exactly.
	Because if you're learning to do English as...
	I do either need to listen to some douchebag on a radio or douchebag on TV. Not much of a difference, so I'm very glad I can listen to you.
	I now consider myself a donor, not a boner, but still I'm very unfortunate or uncomfortable with my giving level.
	I wish I could give you guys more.
	Right now I'm trying to move to Gitmo Nation beer and spicy sausages to study there.
	That would be in autumn.
	In the meantime, I'd like to get some karma.
	It wouldn't be too much.
	I'd like to hear the Gitmo Nation national anthem.
	It gives me chills.
	Should we play that for him?
	Yeah, sure.
	Okay, let me give him some karma first, then.
	You've got karma.
	Alright, Vladimir, you are now officially a citizen of Gitmo Nation.
	Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for your Gitmo Nation national anthem.
	And you may sing along if you know the words.
	In the morning, Gitmo Nation, we are all charged up to be...
	Human resources and servants in all lands and all ships and sea.
	From the east to west, down under to the lowlands and beyond.
	We are happy and distractor slaves in our diponation song.
	Can you imagine, say, 5,000 years from now when some archaeologist is digging things up and they run into that song and think it's actually a...
	It's the truth.
	...the theme?
	Yeah.
	Well, there's going to be books written about us, John, in 5,000 years.
	Daniel Hutner, Murphy's California, double nickels on the dime, 5510.
	Scott Olson, San Diego, California, double nickels on the dime.
	I was broke and donated $11.11 recently, hoping for some no-agenda karma to rub off and help me out.
	It worked!
	Let me have an official shot of karma.
	Keep up the great work.
	Love the show.
	You've got karma.
	That's funny.
	Now Bjorn is back.
	And Bjorn is back with another 50, so I'm not absolutely sure what that's all about.
	Well, he says, sorry for the tongue twister.
	Oh, I blame the demon drink.
	So he sent us another 50 out as an apology for humiliating us.
	Yeah, for making us do that.
	And David Middlebrook in Aberdeenshire, UK, 50, and Remco Van Dyke.
	Is that right?
	Yeah, Van Dyke.
	He would be the guy who was living on the dyke.
	Yeah, living on the dike.
	Or whatever.
	Of the dike.
	Or whatever.
	Exactly.
	I'd like to donate $5 a month, and this month I put in an extra $50.
	Thank you for the show.
	Keep us aware using PayPal mobile application.
	Well, that's nice.
	And by the way, if anyone has money left under the PayPal account, please think about donating it to the show.
	And Raleigh Hawk, lastly, from Anna, Illinois.
	Another $50.
	And we always have great appreciation for people who support the show with $5 a month or $11 a month or any amount because you can kind of keep it open-ended.
	And from time to time, I'd like to just pull something up from the lower giving levels.
	This is from Nick Bethel Collins, who's in college, King's College in London, living there in the International Hall.
	In the morning from Gitmo Nation East, I've only been listening to the show since December 2010, but I felt compelled to donate to keep the fascist debronies at bay.
	Make sure I get my crackpot fix at least twice a week.
	This show has meant that I can always put the ignorant and subservient student fanny flaps back in their place and spread the truth.
	So I'm very grateful to you both for that.
	I'd like a morsel of karma, if possible, for my monthly donation.
	Only $5 for now, as I am a poor little student.
	For my first year exams, would I also like to call my brother Alex in Spain out as a douchebag for never donating to you gurus.
	Thanks a million.
	Consider the formula propagated.
	So this is for Alex.
	And then for all of our $5 donors, you've got some karma.
	Well, I got one more.
	Karma.
	Yes.
	I got one more then.
	Mainly because this is so funny.
	One of our Lord donors, Seth...
	Whoops!
	Come back!
	I could hear it happening throughout the entire donation segment.
	We'll wait for it to disconnect.
	Welcome back.
	Can you hear me now?
	I can hear you now.
	Well, anyway, I would just say Seth Griffin says he's shacking up with his girlfriend who's also a fan and they could use some karma.
	Oh, absolutely.
	We'll hand out some karma for you.
	You've got karma.
	And something very important.
	Miss Mickey just walked in and how can we be such incredible douchebags, John?
	Well, that's easy because this is a day when we think a little different than many people.
	Karma to all the moms in the world is what Miss Mickey wanted to say.
	Give a karma shout out.
	She got karma to all moms, whether they are here on Earth or whether they are in a better dimension than the douchebaggery we have here.
	Moms, here you go.
	All moms in the world.
	You've got karma.
	Hell yeah.
	And I want to thank Mickey for being a great stepmom.
	Yes, that's a call out to all the mothers who listen to the show.
	Yes.
	I want to thank Mickey for being a great stepmom.
	Not an evil one.
	So there you go.
	Evil stepmom.
	Stepmom, it's gotten a bad connotation.
	It's got a bad ring to it, doesn't it?
	My stepmom.
	Yes, because there's too many evil stepmoms.
	But stepmom, it's a technical term.
	Right?
	Is there a better term than stepmom?
	Disney has ruined stepmomery.
	Don't you think?
	Yeah.
	Anyway, we appreciate moms, first of all, and we really appreciate everyone who's been helping out on the show.
	Low today, that was kind of to be expected.
	I think a lot of people shot some wad there on the 300 Club.
	But please recharge and re-wad our way, particularly for 521.
	We have the 333 Club on the way, and rent is also due.
	So please help us out.
	You know where to do that.
	Slash N A.
	And of course, you can also, if you can't get to that for some unexplicable reason, then you can always go to channeldeboric.com slash N A.
	Or go to noageneration.com and click on the big ass donate button.
	Well, real quick, one simple one today.
	And she really wants him to give her a call.
	Edishmira Bicker says, Happy birthday to my boyfriend Robert Cross.
	He'll be turning 28 on May 11th.
	Happy birthday from Edishmira.
	They're in Gitmo Nation, close to Venezuela, where we drink polar beer.
	And from your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	It's your birthday, yeah!
	Hello, everybody.
	So now, was that you or the recording?
	Yeah, I was wondering what you were saying.
	Now, that was a recording.
	I'm practicing.
	I figure the more I hear it, the better I can get.
	Yeah, well, you already got that part down.
	It's the extension that's more problematic.
	I know.
	I'm working on it.
	I'm working on it.
	Okay, well, I have a clip here that I don't remember what it is.
	Great.
	But it says, idiotic question.
	It's got to be good.
	Okay.
	Please, can I ask you to tell us who you are?
	Yeah, my name is Sajid Khan.
	I have a research foundation.
	Okay, hold on.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	Now I remember.
	So this is a...
	I was watching C-SPAN. As we do.
	So you don't have to.
	And there was an event at the Newseum about citizen journalism.
	And we know the Newseum is a front for something or other.
	And there was Bob Woodward there, coincidentally.
	Yes, bye.
	And they were talking to some Pakistani journalists who had nothing good to say about being a journalist in Pakistan, saying if you said anything at all about, for example, the army, they would just basically take you out and shoot you.
	In fact, play if you want to stay alive, so it's a prelude to the idiotic question.
	Hold on a second.
	You caught me off guard.
	If you want to stay alive.
	Tape the incident, put it online.
	We would not be able to talk about an incident like that, even though many of us knew that this was going on in Pakistan.
	You don't critique the Pakistan army if you want to stay alive.
	Okay, so what this is, obviously, is a prelude, because what you need in any country is you need to have no freedom of the press, no internet, killing people with chemical weapons and massacres, and then the Americans have to go in and kill you.
	Yeah, well, we'll see.
	So anyway, so this guy, this Indian guy comes up and asks the most idiotic question.
	He just basically comes out to promote himself.
	And I thought it was so interesting.
	The question wasn't vetted and the whole thing, it just was, I just thought this was something oddly funny about this guy.
	Because you can just imagine, you have a serious little panel and then this guy comes up and does this.
	Please, can I ask you to tell us who you are?
	Yeah, my name is Sajid Khan.
	I have a research foundation.
	And I have actually figured out wisdom, believe it or not.
	If you just Google wisdom by Sajid Khan on Google, you'll see I have 4,000 pages of it.
	I have two books.
	But my main question to everybody here is, can you teach a pig table manners?
	I think there's apparently there's a Howard Stern in India and he's like this would be very funny if you go to America and you ask her to pick up table manners and then say in the morning Sir, I want to ask you, what's the question?
	I think this is a metaphorical question.
	It's a metaphorical question.
	Can you teach a pick table manners?
	I think for the purpose of discussion...
	Okay, let me ask another question.
	Bababuy!
	Bababuy!
	Suppose you have brass.
	Can you expect gold qualities from brass?
	So what you're saying is it depends upon, the question you're really asking is it depends on the basic material you begin with.
	Yes.
	What can you make?
	Yes.
	So the main thing is, whether it's corruption, whether it's freedom of the press, anything.
	If a person's mind, I've quantified the mind also, by the way.
	Minus two, minus one, plus one and plus two.
	If a mind is minus two, can you expect a minus two mind to behave plus two?
	Yeah, it can be done.
	The only solution is emotional intelligence education, a compulsory subject.
	Thank you.
	I think the question here is a legitimate question, and the question is about...
	It's not a legitimate question?
	This is Sheila McVicker, McVicker, whatever, of CBS Correspondents.
	This is not a legitimate question.
	This guy is a maniac.
	You shouldn't even let him speak.
	Get him off the stage.
	He's crazy.
	Does he finish?
	You got the one, you got two, you got three.
	Can a three and a two make a four?
	I think so.
	You know what?
	It's sad because the guy is obviously brilliant.
	Oh yeah.
	He just can't quite get it out right.
	He's just having trouble communicating.
	What we have here is a failure to communicate.
	I saw a great commercial for Target, which is one of these aspirational things.
	So, John, you and I, we often fantasize about advising big companies because we'd be great at it.
	Oh, yeah.
	We would.
	We want kids to aspire to becoming Target pharmacists.
	Because, you know, it's a great...
	There's a couple of these.
	There's more than one of these commercials.
	Yeah, well, this is the one that I saw, and of course, there's a meme in here that just freaked me out.
	I'm a curious seeker.
	I am a chemistry aficionado.
	Diphonhydromene.
	Magnesium hydroxide.
	Athlete's foot.
	Yes!
	I'm a people pleaser.
	If elected, I promise flu shots for all.
	Woo!
	I'm a walking medical dictionary.
	Congratulations, Virginia.
	In plain uvula.
	I'm Virginia.
	I'm a target pharmacist.
	And I'm here to answer your questions.
	And I'm here to give free vaccinations to all.
	Yeah, I like the way they slipped that one in.
	With a lot of echo.
	It's the only thing you can actually hear.
	Well, there's a couple spots where I didn't understand a word she said.
	No, it's not important.
	The only thing you're supposed to hear is the free vaccinations for all.
	Well, on the topic of advertising, we say this on the show, but you can always tell what the core audience is for a TV show, radio show, whatever.
	You can kind of reverse engineer who they're targeting to turn them into the product, which we talk about too.
	You can kind of figure it out.
	You can reverse engineer it by listening to what ads they play.
	And so here's one.
	This is, I guess, apparently the core audience for Rush Limbaugh.
	And now, Fred, an octogenarian who'll be watching TV from his chair all day long.
	Later, he'll eat a cold sandwich.
	How well is your dad getting along?
	An assisted living residence can offer things like medical care, three hot meals a day, organized trips, or just someone to watch TV with.
	Costa Newport, elegant senior living at Costa Mesa.
	No, it's not home.
	In so many ways, it's better.
	So let me ask you, John, as you are watching that, or as you hear this commercial come by, do you not realize that it's pretty wrong that they're advertising this to you?
	Are you not concerned?
	This is an ad.
	No, this to me says that the target market, and I believe this is true, of Rush Limbaugh's show are people that are so callous that they immediately want to find any excuse to get their parents into an old folks home.
	Oh, that's a good point.
	So actually it may be for like baby boomers kind of little over end of middle age.
	Yeah, they've got a bunch of parents that are 90 and they're sick of them hanging around the house.
	I'm just seeing nothing but pharma ads everywhere.
	I mean, that and Yoplait.
	That's all I see everywhere.
	It's like, you know, lose weight, poop it out, and then get all kinds of drugs.
	I don't see anything else on television.
	The pharmaceutical business is definitely carrying the economy.
	Yeah, that's a good way to put it.
	I do see a lot of...
	I see some car ads, but that's about it.
	So it looks like this...
	I don't know if you talked about this with Horowitz, but it looks like Greece actually...
	There is some talk and there's some backroom dealings that there is actual discussion of them dropping out of the euro as their debt has to be restructured.
	So I guess here's what happened.
	They got screwed by the bankers.
	Then they had to go borrow some money.
	And they said, yeah, yeah, we're good for it.
	And then, of course, they weren't good for it.
	And they lied on their application.
	They lied on the application.
	And now they can't make the payments.
	And so they're like, well, why don't we just stop this Euro thing?
	Do you think that's true?
	Do you think they'll actually do it?
	Is it possible?
	I think they should.
	Well, I think every country should drop the Euro.
	But do you think it's actually going to happen?
	I think it might.
	But there'd be some plan.
	It would be a very complicated deal.
	I don't know how they're going to do it.
	But they would.
	They could do it.
	And they go back to the drachma?
	Is that what it was?
	I think it was the drachma, yeah.
	I have some of those in the wallet somewhere.
	Well, hold on to them.
	Hey, remember I was talking about Mark Grossman on the last show?
	Yes, you were talking about Mark Grossman on the last show.
	Right, so I can't believe that I'd forgotten.
	This is the guy that...
	Remember the FBI translator who was in, I think it was an interview in the American magazine?
	And her name was Siebel something or other.
	Siebel Edmonds.
	We're talking like two years ago maybe.
	And I remember this because you and I were both discussing this outside the Mevio offices.
	And this was the guy who got kicked out of Turkey when he was special envoy because of some big scandal of him receiving cash money in return for nuclear secrets and stuff.
	So this guy was, by Hillary Clinton, good old Lucifer, was just recently, you know, he's like one of the highest ranking officials in the State Department, became the special envoy, which is, I don't know, what is that special envoy?
	It's like a vice president.
	It means nothing.
	It's an administrative assistant.
	Right.
	Well, he's a special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
	And the people who are awake, and there's too much to go into with this guy, but he really was instrumental in outing Valerie Plame.
	Because he had some written notes, which of course you're not supposed to do, and he dropped them here and there.
	This guy is a total and utter douchebag, and he's working for Lucifer now.
	I can't believe that the Obama administration will let this happen, to bring a douchebag like this back in, and no one is talking about it.
	No one.
	I guess I should look into it.
	I'm surprised you haven't.
	I have a whole, under elite in the show notes, I'll send you these links, John, because, you know, it's hard for you.
	You're not so web savvy.
	But, I mean, this guy is a dick.
	He really is.
	He's really a frightening individual.
	And he's a spy, apparently, although not convicted as such.
	But he's been passing on nuclear secrets.
	And you don't want this guy negotiating behind closed doors with Pakistan.
	And it's working for Hillary.
	This is bad news, and no one is on this.
	Nobody.
	Now, maybe there's something more to it than we think.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Could be.
	Well, I'll tell you, I've got a piece of footage here that is, I think, maybe give you a little chill, which is a recent hearing under Lieberman's committee On Homeland Security, and there's a Senate committee, of course, so you don't have, with the Senate committee, that's where Lucy Napolitano will show up, and then she has her underlings go to the House committees.
	And by the way, I could have had a bunch of clips where these senators are falling all over themselves.
	Oh, Ms.
	Napolitano, it's so nice that you would come.
	We think the job you're doing is fantastic.
	We love it.
	We realize that you're taking time out of your busy schedule because, you know, you're so busy protecting the homeland.
	That's hinterland.
	So there's a little tidbit I picked up.
	Play the See Something, Say Something clip and tell me if you can figure out what the tidbit is.
	And we continue to look for other ways, but we're really going to focus on what is the local law and how can we empower local law enforcement in particular to prevent a lone wolf from being successful.
	Woo!
	Thank you.
	Let me just say that I was very pleased to hear you mention the See Something, Say Something campaign.
	The chairman and I had to work so hard to get that through when it came to the transportation sector.
	And without the chairman's willingness to stand up against many on his own side of the aisle, we never would have.
	So I hope your comments mean that you will endorse The broader bill that the chairman and I have introduced, which would provide immunity from civil lawsuits to individuals who in good faith report suspicious activity to the authorities.
	They would not be protected if they were not in good faith.
	Because right now, the law that we wrote only applies to the transportation sector.
	I'd be happy to look at that, Senator.
	Thank you.
	And if I see something...
	Yeah, this is about House Resolution 495, the See Something, Say Something Act.
	Play the rest of it, because you'll like it.
	Something else is...
	Wait a minute.
	Let me just roll it back a second.
	I'm sorry.
	Sometimes you leave a little tail on the clip.
	I didn't realize that was it.
	Sector.
	I'd be happy to look at that, Senator.
	Thank you.
	And if I see something, I'll say something.
	I only supported Senator Collins' proposal because it happens to be right.
	Yes.
	Larry Lieberman.
	Douchebag.
	Yeah, so this is chilling.
	So in other words, so all you out there, the poison pen letters ready.
	Yep, go ahead.
	Let's turn in your neighbor.
	You don't have to worry about getting sued anymore.
	Section 890, immunity for reports of suspected terrorist activity.
	And when I say terrorist, I mean...
	Squirrel!
	Or suspicious behavior and response.
	This is...
	Here we go.
	I've got it right here again.
	House Resolution 495.
	In general, any person who in good faith and based on objectively reasonable suspicion makes or causes to be made a voluntary report of covered activity to an authorized official shall be immune from civil liability under federal, state, and local law for such report.
	Now, false reports shall not apply to any report that the person knew to be false or was made with reckless disregard for the truth at the time that the person made the report.
	Jesus Christ, I'm sorry.
	I didn't mean to take the Lord's name in vain, but this is so bad.
	Wouldn't that be the case without the law?
	No, yes.
	Yeah, of course it would.
	Because it's slander.
	So it's bullcrap.
	This thing is just a design, just another, beyond the shield laws, the shield, your creepy neighbor.
	Ah, you know, he didn't leave the house in two days.
	Says he's doing some sort of a podcast.
	It's pretty suspicious if you ask me.
	Well, let me know.
	Let's be specific, John, because I did the research on this, and I'm glad you brought it up.
	Covered activity.
	First of all, what's an authorized official?
	So if you need to report, remember, it's all under the office.
	If you see something, say something.
	The term covered activity means any suspicious, I'm sorry, authorized official, any officer, employee, or agent of the federal government With responsibility for preventing, protecting against, disrupting, or responding to a covered activity, or any federal, state, or local law enforcement officers.
	So I guess a bus driver qualifies as well, right?
	Haven't they been asked to protect us?
	And mailman?
	Oh yeah, the mailman is going to be looking at your mail now.
	Hey Tommy, the mailman.
	Covered activity.
	The term covered activity means any suspicious transaction, activity, or occurrence indicating that an individual may be engaging or preparing to engage, pre-crime, In a violation of law relating to an act of terrorism.
	Squirrel!
	And this, of course, is as defined by Section 308, Title 18 of the United States Code.
	I think, John, it's valuable for you and I to take a look at Section 3077, Title 18 of the United States Code.
	What is this bullcrap?
	Come on.
	Link.
	Here we go.
	You know, GovTrack.us blows chunks.
	They pop up some thing, so you...
	Well, it's a.us.
	It's not official.
	Well, is that not official?
	No, it's not official.
	I don't know.
	I could have a.us domain.
	But it's like I can't get to the link now all of a sudden.
	What the hell is that?
	And by the way, you're reading from the House bill.
	They're talking about the Senate bill, which I'm sure is exactly the same.
	Right, but I don't think that's been published yet, has it?
	No, they're working on it.
	They're probably...
	I don't know what's taking them so long.
	Here we go.
	Here's 3077.
	Active terrorism means an act of domestic or international terrorism is defined as Section 2331.
	So you've got to go like step...
	Thank God for the web.
	An alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
	That's an act of terror.
	Any employee or contractor, sole proprietorship, corporation, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	You know what?
	Anything.
	Did you breathe, hey, terror, terrorist, terrorist activity?
	Yeah, this is bad.
	This is really bad.
	Yeah, people are going to get arrested in the park for taking a late walk and everything else.
	Yeah, he's very suspicious.
	He's got a funny jacket on.
	He's wearing a cloak.
	Yeah, he's got a cloak.
	Yeah, he's doing that podcast.
	He looks kind of disheveled sometimes.
	Yeah, this is like Cuba.
	When I was a kid in school, we used to talk about this.
	Oh, those Cubans are terrible.
	They have their kids turn in their parents and their parents fink on their neighbors.
	It's a terrible, terrible place because everyone's finking on each other.
	And so now we've made it official.
	We're doing the same.
	So we are Cuba.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Except...
	Except...
	Cuba in the 50s with...
	No, not exactly, because we have catchy jingles.
	If you see something, see something.
	I'm telling you, the Jeff Smith, Sir Jeff, we should sell that to Homeland Security.
	I think that would be great on their website.
	Yeah.
	No, but why wouldn't we just have it at the end of all of those commercials?
	Yeah, I mean, it actually sounds like something we lifted from the government.
	Yeah.
	No, you watch.
	You watch.
	We're going to get an offer.
	I think, you know, what do you think it's worth?
	50 grand?
	50,000?
	I think it's 50,000.
	Well, we have to have a whole campaign behind it.
	We've got a whole campaign.
	We've got ideas.
	And we have a study, research.
	Yeah, no, I think it's worth 50K. Yeah, I think so, too.
	One last thing I thought I'd mention, which is that people always complain that we don't do enough discussion about food, wine, and all the rest of it.
	I do have a clip called Lobster Expertise, which is, again, from C-SPAN. They're interviewing some lobster woman who they're asking, if you go to a restaurant, how do you pick a lobster?
	When's the best time to get it?
	Is there any tips you can give us from an expert point of view?
	And here it is.
	When you go into a restaurant to order a lobster, and what's the worst time?
	Alright, well...
	Pound for pound, or dollar for pound, you're better off eating a hard-shell lobster, I think, in the wintertime.
	It's more expensive then.
	Lobsters are more expensive because they're less abundant, because of weather and seasons, there aren't as many people fishing.
	So it's more expensive, but the lobster is really packed into the shell, so you're getting more for your money.
	Personally, I prefer shedders.
	I like the soft shell lobster.
	If I'm eating them, which would be at home, I wouldn't eat one in a restaurant because I make a real mess.
	I'd rather eat three or four shedders than one hard shell any day.
	I think the meat is sweeter.
	They're easier to get into.
	You don't need all these tools.
	Tools?
	Nobody I've ever heard ever say this.
	They always talk about the hard shell lobster.
	I mean, I know soft-shell crab.
	I never even heard about a soft-shell lobster.
	No, it's not really a soft-shell.
	It's just a softer...
	When the crab or the lobster...
	I don't know what it does.
	It drops its old...
	I don't know what it does.
	But whatever it is, it's when it's beginning to form a new body...
	Nobody wants those because they're not good.
	There's a lot of water in them.
	I don't know.
	All I know is that you always want the hard, shallow ones.
	But she says just the opposite, and I thought that was interesting for people out there who know.
	I don't know what a shutter is, but I guess it's like a new lobster.
	I don't know.
	Shutters.
	Yeah, shutters.
	That's a hotel on Santa Monica.
	Shutters.
	I'm sure that's where the name came from.
	There's my gourmet tip of the month.
	I don't even know what it means.
	So let me ask you a question.
	Because the most emailed, and this has been going on for a while, but it really kicked into high gear this past week.
	Every day I get at least four or five emails about Bitcoin.
	You getting these?
	Bitcoin?
	No, I haven't gotten any.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	Bitcoin.org?
	Look at it right now.
	So Bitcoin is this virtual peer-to-peer currency.
	And a lot of people are really jacked up about it.
	And I don't understand.
	Well, I kind of don't understand how it works.
	And so I'm sorry.
	I thought that you would have definitely have read about this because we'd be getting these emails.
	I see you copied on them for months, but it's really kicked into high gear recently, so they must be on some kind of campaign or they're probably getting close.
	So the idea is it's this currency that is peer-to-peer, and so there's no banks involved.
	But I don't understand exactly...
	I mean, isn't that subject, isn't all currency like this subject to inflation?
	Because people are saying you guys should start taking donations in Bitcoin.
	I'm like, why?
	Well, exactly.
	I'm like, can I eat with Bitcoin?
	Can I pay the rent with Bitcoin?
	Apparently you can.
	There's some storable food guys who take Bitcoin currency.
	But I mean, it's still pegged to, you know, you still have to buy it.
	It still has to be converted from the dollar.
	It sounds like it.
	You know, I've never been a big, I mean, especially somebody like you, a gold dollar.
	I know.
	This is why I'm not into it, and people go like, you're crazy.
	This is like one stage.
	We already have gold on one level, and then we move up to specie, which is paper money, and now you're taking it one more step into virtual nothing.
	I'm not.
	I'm questioning.
	It's abhorrent that you would be promoting this, Adam.
	Hey, shut up, Dvorak.
	I'm not promoting anything.
	I'm asking you a question.
	I can barely hear you.
	That's the problem.
	The connection's so bad, I misunderstood.
	Yeah.
	Hello, everybody.
	Yeah, exactly.
	No, I'm not promoting it.
	Was that you or the recording?
	I'm not promoting it.
	I'm questioning why people are all hyped up about this.
	I don't know.
	And honestly, I think it's bad.
	I think it's a really bad idea.
	What's funny about it is that maybe I've been not looking at the email, but I don't remember it.
	Bitcoin.org.
	Eric DeShill says it's fishy.
	Yeah, I think it's fishy, too.
	I think it's a red herring, and I think people are falling into this peer-to-peer trap.
	Oh, this is great, but I don't think it's great.
	I think someone's going to make a bundle off of this.
	Someone's going to make a lot of dough off of this thing.
	Back in the day, you know, I do understand the idea, and this is a philosophical conversation about money, you know, you could use sticks, you could use rice, it would represent something.
	So, you know, you could say, well, I'm going to buy this goat from you for 20 grains of rice, and then the guy could take 20 grains of rice, and he could go buy something else with it, because it was just a barter system with a measurement in the middle.
	If it's that, then it might be something, but It doesn't sound like it to me.
	Not if it's all peer-to-peer.
	Can I go to Monterey Foods and buy some zucchini with the Bitcoin value?
	I don't think so.
	Well, this is the point.
	If you look at Bitcoin.org, they have vendors.
	And I went and said, okay, well, what can I buy with Bitcoin?
	I'm like, food.
	Can I buy food with Bitcoin?
	Merchants is what you want to look at.
	And no, you can buy, like, server hosting.
	Okay.
	It's like, alright, server hosting, but I want food if I have to eat.
	And here we go.
	Consumable.
	So we have chess sites, games, gambling sites, file sharing, music.
	That's all virtual stuff.
	Bitcoin makes perfect sense for that.
	But how about, here, consumable.
	What can we eat with Bitcoin?
	Coffee.
	Special coffee for mail order.
	Herbs, extracts, and seeds.
	We can get some sugar.
	Wedding cake sugar.
	Um...
	Where are you looking?
	If you go to bitcoin.org and then you want to click on sites that accept bitcoin.
	You see that?
	This reminds me of Beans, by the way.
	This thing called B-E-N-Z, which was something I think Whoopi Goldberg was behind.
	There was two of these.
	There was Beans and something with a J. There were two of these just in the late 90s.
	There were two of these phony baloney systems that both failed.
	I don't remember that.
	You don't remember beans?
	B-E-E-N-Z. You can look it up.
	I'm looking now.
	No, I don't remember that.
	If I Google Whoopi Goldberg beans, I get Whoopi Goldberg in Mercedes-Benz.
	Well, beans, she may have been the other one.
	There was two of these.
	She may have been the other one, but if you go to beans.com, Wikipedia's got an entry on it.
	It died in 2001, according to the register.
	Beans.com.
	The other one was similar to Beans but had a different name and I think Whoopi was involved with one or she was advertising for one of the two of them.
	See, I do like the idea of just using some kind of virtual currency as a measurement for trading stuff.
	And I can totally see that working online, for buying online virtual services.
	It's not like something you go pick up at the market, but we can't be accepting Bitcoin to eat unless you want to have...
	Not only that, but I think this is also encouraging the electronic, getting rid of all money.
	Yeah, it is.
	You know, so we can easily attract you slaves.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's...
	No, no, no.
	This is the red herring is because it's peer-to-peer and it's not...
	You know, there's no central authority and blah-de-blah-de.
	But you can get...
	Yeah, it's a myth.
	Hey, John, we can get car detailing.
	Well, I could always use some car detailing.
	Yeah.
	And we could get some...
	But hey, wait a minute.
	Can I get car detailing with real money, too?
	Yeah, you can.
	Yeah.
	Do I get a better deal with the beans?
	I mean, does the guy give me a discount because I used them?
	I don't think so.
	There's a Polish, the very first Polish shop accepting, they're called BTCs, muffler.pl.
	Oh, it's in Polish.
	Hmm.
	No wonder I can't read it.
	I don't know.
	So I'm not too big on it.
	So in other words, the answer to the queries is no.
	We're not going to be into beans or bits or coins.
	We're not getting into beans.
	Not a good idea at all.
	My goodness.
	Give my nation lowlands.
	I just wanted to say a big shout out to the slaves there in the flatlands as the Uber lords have now come out with cameras.
	And this is pretty unique.
	It used to be the Gitmo Nation East.
	The United Kingdom was kind of the beta test, but it looks like the Lowlands is now going much further.
	So, of course, they already have all of the cameras with license plate recognition.
	Those are everywhere in the United States as well.
	But what they're being used for now in the Lowlands is to detect erratic behavior while driving, meaning you're probably drunk.
	So they basically just scan you.
	If they see you doing a crazy move on the highway, you're going to get pulled over immediately.
	Or just visit at home because they have your details from the license plate recognition.
	And you're going to go see if you're drunk or if you use drugs.
	And this is all totally approved and it's all cool.
	Good luck down there.
	People wonder why I don't want to go back to Holland.
	Even to visit.
	Well, I don't know why it's turning into such a fascist dictatorship.
	Huh.
	And then finally, I think I was just one week too early.
	I predict on the last show I said we're going to have a national, some form of natural disaster.
	And by the way, since we have millions of acres of farmland being flooded on purpose in the south, that the Army Corps of Engineers are blowing up levees, why isn't the president visiting those farmers?
	Why isn't he down there?
	Why isn't he saying hi to everybody and hey, sorry about this, this really sucks?
	Why isn't he saying that?
	Why isn't he going down there?
	Why is there nothing about this?
	Nothing, nothing, nothing.
	Well, Brian Williams predicts what's going to happen.
	Now we have to turn to the Midwest.
	We think this story is going to occupy a lot of our time and attention next week.
	It's already been an awful flooding season.
	If you live in Memphis or the surrounding area...
	All eyes now are on that Mississippi River.
	They are looking for perhaps the second highest crest in U.S. history, perhaps in the next five days.
	NBC's Ron Mott is in Memphis on some hallowed ground there in that city.
	Ron, good evening.
	So that's what's going to be occupying our time next week.
	Brian Williams predicts it.
	Well, at least they gave us a heads up so we can look for it.
	By the way, if this was the George Bush administration and they didn't show up down there, they'd be giving him nothing but grief.
	Because he hates black people.
	Yeah, he hates black people.
	Maybe Obama hates black people.
	I think he does.
	I don't want to go in there and hang out with some black people.
	That's no good.
	I don't want to do that.
	I don't know.
	I find it abhorrent that the President of the United States, not a single person from the administration, is going down there to just hold these people's hands or whatever.
	I know.
	They were totally wiped out in Alabama.
	Yeah.
	He did go down briefly for the tornado victims, but this is like the Army Corps of Engineers is blowing up stuff and purposely the states tried to sue the government and say, no, you can't do this, and they lost.
	The judge threw it out.
	Nothing.
	Not a single word about it.
	No, instead, let's go talk about whales with O'Biden.
	I don't know.
	The whole thing is just bugging me.
	So, I would say since we have these beached pilot whales in Florida, I believe it's on the west coast of Florida, I'd say look for some, quote, natural disaster.
	Remember, the 16th is national level exercise.
	FEMA will be conveniently in the area.
	So y'all might want to consider moving to higher ground.
	Five days in advance of the 21st.
	That's right.
	We're all going to die.
	Well, not everybody.
	A lot of people are going to be dragged up to heaven against their will, or, you know, maybe voluntarily or happily.
	And they should at least help us out by going to noagendanation.com.
	Yeah, or dvorak.org slash na.
	I'm really sorry, John.
	I commend your veracity for hanging in there.
	I know you could probably barely understand anything.
	And it was hardly noticeable.
	How irritated you actually are about it all.
	So why don't you tweet at Comcast Cares and tell them they are douchebags.
	Well, I'll be working on it.
	Hopefully we'll have a connection by Thursday, or by Tuesday even.
	Coming to you from Gitmo Nation West in the People's Republic of Southern California here at the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And here I am on a cable modem getting.7.
	Megabits per second in northern Silicon Valley.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
