	She stole the silverware.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, June 16, 2011.
	Time for Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 313.
	This is no agenda.
	Reading documents NPR won't here at the Hilltop Watch Tower Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West in the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, plain and simple, I'm John C. DeVoy.
	And in the morning to you, my friend John.
	In the morning to you, Adam, and all ships at sea and boots in the ground and feet in the air.
	Yes, and all of our human resources charged up, ready to go, checking out the live stream at noagentastream.com in the chat room, noagentachat.net.
	They are, of course, all charged up and ready to go just the way their government loves them.
	Suck the lifeblood out of them, which is nice.
	Hmm.
	Sad news this morning, John.
	I don't know if you caught that.
	It just came out just before I started the show, actually.
	Yes.
	Very, very sad because I had a whole...
	Well, we can still do my segment.
	I had a whole segment to make fun of him.
	And now your friend, Vivek Kundra, has decided to resign.
	You had a segment about this?
	I had a segment about Vivek.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	He probably got word, the word got out.
	He's like, oh no, no, no, no, no.
	I'm not quitting.
	I'm quitting that prepping thing about me.
	I have to go.
	So he's going to become a professor at Harvard?
	Is that what I hear?
	Yeah, so you did know about this.
	Yeah.
	What, are you kidding me?
	My reputation?
	I got like a million emails.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Everybody and their sister.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, oh well.
	Gosh darn it.
	Well, either these kids are going to eat him alive if he actually becomes a lecturer.
	Oh yeah, it'll be like...
	What else is he going to be there for?
	He's not going to be there to do research.
	I can tell you, he's going to be...
	He'll either work at McAfee, at HP... Or I think he may actually join a venture fund, a venture capital fund.
	Oh no, that's where he's going to have some venture fund.
	That's what I'm looking for.
	People are going to be rolling their eyes.
	Or he could go work for O'Reilly.
	No, I'll stick with the venture fund.
	I think that's where he belongs.
	He doesn't belong at Harvard, that's for sure.
	He doesn't belong in the White House either, let's be honest.
	No.
	That's not where that guy should be with his step logic.
	Step logic.
	It involves a clip, and we'll get to it later.
	Yeah, play it.
	No, not now.
	I mean, we'll get to it later.
	Humor segment for later.
	Here's a couple of things we have to clear.
	We have housekeeping.
	Oh, housekeeping.
	Hold on.
	Let me get my feather duster.
	We need a thing of housekeeping.
	Housekeeping.
	So on June 9th, as a part of our never-ending games, we were supposed to predict...
	What did we do wrong now?
	Today's top, you know, what's hogging the news cycle stories, and I predicted something new, which I'm wrong, but you predicted E. coli in America, and you were wrong, and it turns out...
	It's Wiener again!
	It's Wiener!
	It's so funny.
	We were watching the entertainment on KTLA, which I think I've mentioned.
	I like watching this local news because they have puppy news.
	You're like, oh, some puppies were born, and it's cute, and it doesn't offend me.
	And the weatherman is my favorite, Mark Christie, who was very sick for many, many months, and now he's back.
	And this guy is just funny.
	So they break, they stop the news.
	Nancy Pelosi, she's talking to me.
	I'm sure she's going to mention Anthony Weiner resigning today.
	And so Pelosi comes on, says, for those of you, hey, you want to hear about Anthony Weiner, I'm not going to talk about right now.
	And immediately they cut back to the anchors.
	Well, okay, so that's enough of that.
	And then Mark Christie goes, that's amazing.
	He says, really amazing how she's not going to talk about something as ridiculous as Anthony Weiner, and we cut away when she's going to talk about other maybe important stuff.
	Like, yeah, that's it.
	This guy's great.
	And the anchors are like, hey, hey, hey, you're very funny, Christie.
	You're out.
	Hey, poisonous coffee again.
	Yeah, right.
	Yeah, no, so...
	Well, I can wait.
	I mean, there's plenty of time to do that.
	Plenty of time.
	So I guess by the time...
	This is kind of...
	It's been a problem with our show the past two episodes.
	Last episode, we talked about the...
	The lesbian blogger.
	Yeah.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Did I just lose...
	Hmm, that's interesting.
	Did the stream just go off?
	No, I think the stream just died for some reason.
	The stream died?
	The stream died for some reason.
	Oh.
	I don't know what's happening.
	Um...
	Yeah, so we predict immediately that this is a techno expert, someone probably in the State Department, blogging on behalf of Syrian people everywhere.
	And then literally like three hours after the show...
	It's announced that the lesbian Syrian blogger is a guy.
	A straight married guy.
	A joker.
	And did you catch the follow-up to that?
	That the woman who runs this...
	Yeah, the big lesbian website was a guy.
	One of the top lesbian websites.
	Yeah.
	You just can't write this.
	I give a clip.
	There's two straight guys acting like they're lesbians.
	It's like, it's a mind now.
	You gotta do what you gotta do to get your numbers up.
	Well, we've always asserted lesbians are good for ratings.
	They are good for ratings.
	Howard Stern has proven that.
	That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right.
	So I do have a clip that I do want to ask you a question about.
	Run the clip on the lesbian blogger.
	Oh, hold on.
	What's it called?
	Gay Girl in Damascus?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Here we go.
	A well-known female blogger has allegedly been abducted in Syria.
	Relatives of Amina Abdallah say she hasn't been seen since she was bundled into a car yesterday.
	Abdallah's outspoken blog Gay Girl in Damascus has made her an icon of the Syrian uprising.
	Okay, so the question is, so this is a news report, right?
	And this got all over the place.
	Right.
	Who saw the car?
	Who are the relatives?
	Does anybody do any fact checking?
	Oh, no.
	No, no, no.
	Not at all.
	Not at all.
	It's just like the guy, apparently the blogger guy who was playing the lesbian, he wanted to take a vacation.
	Yeah, so he was going to kill her off temporarily.
	Yes, kill her off temporarily.
	Well, these guys are reporting this as fact without any reporters involved.
	And I did go back and I did find a tweet from Andy Carvin way before he was one of the people who debunked this.
	Yeah, right, Carvin.
	We got a little thing called Google Cash, my friend.
	But here's Tom McMaster himself, who, of course, there's also zero reporting on the guy.
	Zero.
	You know, except for, eh, he's from Birmingham, he's from Atlanta, he lives in his name, whatever.
	There's no news on the guy.
	But a national treasure interviewed him.
	Well, a couple of things.
	This is about what has he learned, lessons learned.
	There's an old New Yorker cartoon that you might recall.
	Where there's a dog on the internet saying, on the internet no one knows you're a dog.
	That cartoon would be my motto.
	That's my motto!
	The second thing I've found is that people want to believe Is this Carvin?
	No, this is the lesbian blogger.
	The guy's boring, no wonder he has to be a lesbian.
	You know, that people's credulity is high, and I think, you know, I also thought that a lot of the coverage of the Middle East is kind of superficial, and I'm I know there's some very good journalists out there, so I'm not trying to malign anyone.
	But it seems like a lot of people...
	Sure.
	Yeah, I know you're not trying to malign us.
	Sure.
	He's a Hummer, by the way.
	He's a partial Hummer.
	Yeah, I noticed that.
	Which leads me to believe that he's probably...
	Working for the New York Times.
	Yes, exactly.
	He's Jill Abramson's intern.
	It's just crazy.
	So I actually got a little thing here for the opening of our show.
	Yesterday I had to meet a guy.
	And this guy was over in Santa Monica.
	You had to meet a guy?
	I had to meet a guy about a book thing.
	So the guy's over in Santa Monica, and the meeting's at 3.30.
	Now, if you know anything about California, and we're over by the 101 in the Hollywood Hills here at the Hilltop Watchtower.
	It's a five-hour drive.
	Yeah, more or less.
	About 10 miles, five hours.
	Right.
	Well, the way over was okay, because 101, 405, boom, I'm there in like 25 minutes.
	But I knew the way back was going to be horrible, and of course there was a truck crash and the 405.
	It's a nightmare.
	So, it's a total nightmare, but I'm ready for it.
	And I finally realized, now I know why people who commute love our show.
	I tried to listen, because I'm in the car literally two hours.
	There's no joke.
	Oh, yeah.
	And you're a sensitive male.
	What does that mean?
	Well, that means that you would be listening to the radio, which I know where you're going with this, and you would be, because you're so sensitive, you would be irked.
	You think?
	Probably rather quickly.
	Well, so, and you know the traffic's bad when the light is green and I still have time to put the top down.
	And this is a car from 1999, so it doesn't go so fast.
	And I always have this fear that this is the moment it's going to get stuck halfway.
	Yeah.
	You'll be honking behind me.
	So the top goes down.
	It's a nice day.
	And so I try the AM stations.
	Too many commercials.
	The FM is just like it's all Rihanna.
	I'm like, ugh.
	Oh, you know, it's pathetic.
	But then I tune into our National Treasure NPR. And I'm like, okay.
	Because, you know, most people you talk to who think they're awake, certainly the elites in Hollywood, they all say, oh, no, I listen to NPR. I listen to NPR all the time.
	I really love NPR. John, what do you listen to?
	Do you listen to NPR? Right?
	Am I right or am I right?
	Yeah, they all do.
	Yeah, I listen to NPR. So I'm like, I'm going to listen to...
	Even if they don't.
	And of course, that's what you say.
	You're not going to say I listen to KISS FM. 102.7 KISS FM, everybody.
	Hey, what's the lucky number?
	So let me just give you a rundown.
	It was like I was living in the Ministry of Truth.
	It was unbelievable.
	So we have...
	First there was this woman talking about biodiversity and how we have to bring back the megafauna because we're going to go through the big plasticine, whatever the hell.
	What's the ice age?
	What's the elite word for ice age?
	I don't know.
	It's like plastisocine.
	Plasticine.
	I like that, though.
	I'm going with that.
	Literally.
	Plasticity.
	Yeah, the plasticity.
	Places in peril.
	2011's most endangered historic sites.
	And then we've got, like, what was the next thing?
	So that was all biodiversity.
	Then it was, like, South Sudan works to aid wildlife that survived war.
	So this is all a setup, because, of course, South Sudan, where all the oil is, is about to be in the news, because they had the referendum, and it's going to be...
	It's own nation.
	And that, of course, is when Clooney's going to pop up and we're going to have the whole thing going on.
	It's going to be atrocities and we'll move in there.
	So it just keeps going on and on and on and on.
	And I'm like, that's just setting me up for the news for next week.
	It's like priming the pump.
	I can feel it.
	I can totally feel it.
	And then we get the breaking news report.
	Do-do-do-do-do-do.
	About the President's report to Congress.
	Because you probably read, everyone sent me the links, you know, Dennis Kucinich and 10 other lawmakers are suing the President for violating the War Powers Resolution.
	Not Act, but Resolution.
	Of course there is an Act, but it's very confusing.
	And then NPR brings in their White House guy to report.
	The stooge.
	Oh yeah.
	I had to do some work here for you.
	So listen to the report first.
	And in these documents that the White House sent to Congress today.
	So they sent a 38-page document to Congress.
	How does the White House respond?
	Well, it's a fairly detailed report.
	Which means you're too stupid to go and read it.
	It's detailed.
	Please, let me just give you the highlights here on NPR, because it's detailed.
	You're too stupid to know.
	The administration is sent up to the Hill, and they're stressing what's been achieved through military action, defending the operation as stopping the advance of...
	Yeah.
	What's been achieved?
	Well, now, see, of course, just listen to the report.
	This is what NPR has given us, and then I'll take you through it, because, of course, I read the documents, obviously, right?
	Muammar Gaddafi and protecting civilians in places like Benghazi that otherwise might have been the scene of a humanitarian outrage.
	Outrage!
	And also stressing...
	What is a humanitarian outrage?
	Outrage.
	It's a little different from what the President said.
	He said massacre.
	Now it's a humanitarian outrage.
	It's an outrage, I tell you.
	...on the operation that the U.S. handed over the leadership of the military exercise.
	So now he's not talking about the document anymore.
	Now he's just giving you the talking points from the Ministry of Truth.
	...to NATO. So non-U.S. forces are now carrying out most of the missions, even though the U.S. is still providing some things that it alone can, like unmanned drones up in the skies.
	Most importantly, stressing that...
	Did you know that unmanned drones are up in the skies?
	They're up in the skies.
	Up in the skies.
	There are.
	Unmanned drones.
	So you're right.
	It's interesting, because he's supposed to be talking about one thing, and he's basically now just laying out the White House talking points.
	Exactly.
	No troops on the ground, which was a commitment that President Obama made even before the shooting began.
	And Scott, does this boil down really to a turf battle between Congress, which has the power to declare war, and the President as Commander-in-Chief?
	So now they're off topic.
	Now they're already talking about the validity of the War Powers Resolution.
	So, because it was so detailed, I figured I might as well go print it out and read it.
	So incredibly hard and detailed.
	It made me feel so stupid.
	By the way, not easy to find the documents, interestingly enough.
	It's not like you can go to whitehouse.gov and it says, oh, here's the documents that we sent to Congress.
	No.
	And it's not 38 pages.
	It's 32 pages, and then there's six pages of classified annex, which is not published, which includes the threat assessment of MANPADs, which I have no idea what a MANPAD is.
	Do you know what a MANPAD is?
	M-A-N-P-A-D? This has something to do with, is this like a tampon for males?
	That's what it sounds like.
	Watch out!
	It's a man pad!
	Oh no!
	Or is it like a place where guys stay?
	I don't know.
	Hey, I'm coming over to my man pad, honey.
	Hey baby, you want to come over and see my man pad?
	It's threatening.
	Ballistic missiles and chemical weapons in Libya.
	So of course there's stuff that's still coming.
	Now I just wanted to, what's interesting is this entire report is not from the President.
	It is created by Joseph McManus, who is the Acting Assistant Secretary, and then Elizabeth King.
	You'll recall when I dove into the...
	I'm sorry?
	ManPad.
	It's a mobile air defense.
	It's a rocket launcher.
	Yeah.
	I like your definition better.
	Yeah, mine is better.
	ManPad.
	Hey, Abdullah!
	Come to my ManPad tonight!
	So, Elizabeth King, who is the Assistant Secretary of Legislative Affairs for the Department of Defense, basically put this report together.
	This document is the red herring, because there is an official document, which I found, which is more important.
	But I just want to run through it briefly, just so you know what we're actually doing.
	I took a highlighter to it, John.
	The President authorized these actions to limit the spread of violence and instability in a region pivotal to our security interests, particularly while it is undergoing sensitive transitions.
	And to prevent an imminent humanitarian catastrophe, which I thought was outrage, according to the NPR dude there, left unaddressed, the president further noted, so they quote the president, and it's like pages and pages of this, the growing instability in Libya could ignite wider instability in the Middle East with dangerous consequences to the national security interests of the United States.
	Now this is really important because that's what it all comes down to in the end.
	Brief note here about the Transitional National Committee, which is basically the new government.
	So instead of saying we approve of these guys, they have a great word for it.
	I'm just looking for the word, which I had to look up.
	I'm sorry.
	There's like tons of pages.
	Let me go to...
	Where's Hillary's statement?
	Now I feel stupid that I... While you're looking that up, I want to mention something, which is we discussed this, the possibility early on, like I guess a couple months ago, that...
	The Libyans would be, to make this war, to continue this war, that there would be some sort of a false flag that would be blamed on Libya.
	Right.
	Well, that's where the chemical weapons will come in, of course.
	And I think that, well, I think that's the backup.
	I think that's plan B. I want to see Hillary Clinton testifying.
	Look at these intelligence photos.
	We see there are clearly man pads here.
	It'll be our tubes, the Libya's version of tubes.
	I don't know why they just don't call them rocket launchers or stingers.
	It's funnier.
	They're laughing in our face.
	But anyway, I think that they could never pull off this false flag for whatever reason, and now I think they've got their tit in a ringer.
	Well, in more ways than one.
	It's the Interim Transnational National Council.
	It's the Interim Transnational National Council.
	This is the guys who have the website.
	And Mahmoud Jibril, remember the guy who went to school in Pennsylvania?
	University of Pittsburgh.
	This is the guy who is the Prime Minister of the Transnational Council.
	So now I'm the guy's Prime Minister.
	But the Secretary, Lucifer Clinton, has said, the TNC is a legitimate interlocutor.
	It's a great word.
	Interlocutor.
	Yeah, that's what I mean.
	Interlocutor.
	That's probably why NPR couldn't report on it, because they couldn't figure out what it meant.
	But it means discussion partner, I guess.
	So that's their way of kind of hedging it.
	Guidance counselor.
	Guidance counselor.
	So then they go into the finances of what it's cost us so far.
	Do you know how much this has cost us, John?
	Oh, it can't be that much.
	They are literally saying that.
	It's nothing.
	How much do you think it is?
	It's been almost 90 days now.
	Hello?
	What happened?
	Did I just lose John?
	Hello?
	Wow.
	Does Skype just like quit on me?
	I can't believe that.
	Oh, wow.
	Hold on a second.
	Okay, we'll get back on the air here.
	Yes?
	Yes, well, I'm so sorry.
	That was unexpected.
	You know what happened?
	Well, let me think.
	Your Mac dropped dead for some unknown reason and rebooted.
	No, it wasn't a Mac.
	It was Windows that decided to install important updates.
	You should have that turned off.
	Yeah, well, you know, I use Windows literally twice a week.
	Okay?
	Just twice a week.
	And I only use the machine for this show.
	I'm so sorry.
	It's okay.
	Anyway, all kinds...
	When you're done tonight, go check the box that turns that feature off.
	I don't know why they default to that.
	Well, isn't that what they always do with Windows?
	Don't they always default to on and it'll do it like at 3 in the morning or something or some crap like that?
	It does it when it feels like it.
	It's annoying.
	It's very annoying.
	Anyway, to answer my question, John...
	I forgot what the question was.
	It's been, what, an hour?
	It's been so long.
	How long does it take to boot that thing?
	Well, it's a pad.
	You know, it's a little note thingy.
	It's real simple.
	The question was, how much do you think the...
	Oh, yeah, right.
	How much does it cost?
	Yeah, how much does it cost?
	I don't know.
	It can't cost that much.
	Probably a couple hundred million.
	What?!
	Is that too high?
	No, it's too low!
	What?
	The taxpayers can't afford more than that?
	It's $1.1 billion.
	Don't you love it?
	Thank you.
	We're just throwing money away.
	So, but the question is...
	Does anybody give a crap about the fact that the country's broke?
	So the question is, what is it being spent on?
	Well, just on daily operations, which is like, you know, food for...
	We have to remember that the public has to remember this and they should use it at cocktail parties.
	Our soldiers in Afghanistan...
	They essentially cost us $1 million a year per soldier.
	Okay.
	Per soldier?
	$1 million per soldier?
	Yes, per soldier.
	If there's 10 guys over there, it's costing 10 million bucks a year to keep them there.
	That's food and lodging.
	And transportation.
	Food, lodging, transportation, and salaries.
	A million dollars a year.
	So this is what's really interesting.
	They make a big deal out of who's paying for what.
	I have the link to the PDF in the show notes at 313.nashownotes.com.
	So they did an airlift of third-party nationals.
	That means taking people out of Libya and flying them home, essentially.
	They flew 1,000 people.
	Actually, it was like 1,100 people.
	And guess how much that cost?
	I don't know.
	1,100 people?
	Yeah.
	To fly them home.
	To fly them home?
	Yeah, to fly them home like Egypt and Tunisia.
	They would fly them home on troop transports.
	Yeah, C-130.
	C-130.
	They just pack them in.
	It can't cost that much.
	1.1 million dollars.
	1,100 people?
	Yeah, it's like a first class ticket.
	It's like a thousand bucks for everybody.
	Calculation on that.
	1,100 people, 1.1 million.
	It's a thousand to thousands.
	It's a thousand bucks a guy.
	It's like, are they flying first class?
	He's like, would you like some caviar on your way out?
	They couldn't get him a discount ticket.
	I can get back cheaper than that.
	I mean, I know, that's what I'm saying.
	So then they have this whole list of stuff, which is unbelievable.
	So, oh, by the way, evacuation and repatriation programs for third country nationals in total has been $27.5 million.
	So that's flying people out, oil workers.
	Most of them.
	Flying them out, you know, taking care of business.
	And then there's the assistance and protection for Libyan internationally displaced persons, as well as refugees, and migrants in Tunisia, Egypt, Italy, and Malta.
	That's another $14.5 million.
	It just goes on and on and on.
	It's really unbelievable.
	Now, here's two key things.
	So, of course, we need to finance the now-rebels, which used to be protesters.
	And it says here in the report...
	This is all from the Department of Defense, by the way.
	It's not from the president, which is why NPR is misleading.
	The United States supports crude oil sales from TNC-controlled areas.
	Sounds like a cable network, doesn't it?
	TNC. Yeah.
	On May 25th, the U.S. oil tanker, oil refiner Tesoro, announced that it had purchased cargo aboard a tanker chartered by the Swiss oil trading company VTOL that had departed opposition territory in mid-April.
	The tanker arrived at Tesoro's Hawaii refinery on June 8th.
	This cargo was the first known cargo purchased from the Libyan TNC. And that, of course, was approved.
	The Treasury has loosened up funds now.
	And there's a bill in the Senate...
	Which, of course, is sponsored by the typical guys, Lieberman, McCain, all the military-industrial complex guys, so that this money can be given to the rebels.
	They say to the Libyan people, but it's actually given to the rebels.
	Now, all of that that came from your national treasure is irrelevant, because here's what it's all about.
	And this I did find on the White House website.
	This is the actual letter from the President to Congress and to the Speaker of the House.
	This better be good.
	You've been giving it a big build-up.
	Regarding the War Powers Resolution.
	Now, I'm not going to read through the whole thing.
	It's only a two-pager, though.
	So he starts off by saying, we've been in Afghanistan since October 2001.
	Security for America.
	We've got Al-Qaeda everywhere.
	We were in Iraq.
	We're doing all this stuff.
	Then we're in Libya, which is all to protect our interests.
	It literally says interests.
	What interests?
	It just says interests.
	And then he basically is saying, you know, so this is all good.
	We don't have boots on the ground.
	He doesn't mention arms in the sea because, of course, we've got plenty of ships out there.
	Boots on the ground is a little misnomer.
	But here it comes.
	At the very bottom of the letter, and this is all NPR really had to do, It explains why the President has done this has nothing to do with the War Powers Resolution or Act.
	I have directed the participation of U.S. Armed Forces in all of these operations, which includes Libya, pursuant to my constitutional and statutory authority as Commander-in-Chief, including the authority to carry out Public Law 10740 and other statutes, and as Chief Executive, as well as my statutory constitutional authority to conduct the foreign relations of the United States.
	So, of course, all NPR had to do, if they were really on our side, is go look up Law 10740.
	What is that law, John?
	Well, don't even look it up.
	This is a joint resolution enacted on September 18, 2001, whereas on September 11, 2001, acts of treacherous violence were committed against the United States and its citizens, whereas such acts rendered both necessary and appropriate that the United States exercise its rights to self-defense and to protect United States citizens, both at home and abroad.
	In other words, President Obama is using...
	The law, law of the land, public law 107-40, enacted by George Bush in 2001 to do all of this.
	Because we are under constant threat.
	He's still using this law.
	And the whole game about War Powers Resolution, War Powers Act, is just phenomenal.
	Fodder.
	It's not within the conversation.
	The president is just saying, oh, I have the constitutional authority to do this by a law that was put in place ten years ago.
	Pound sand.
	It's not a constitutional authority, but it is a law that he can fall back on.
	Right.
	Well, he's saying it's my constitutional authority.
	And the fact of the matter, well, what he's doing is he's mixing, I wouldn't say mixing a metaphor, but he's mixing his rationales.
	They'd have to prove this law to be unconstitutional, and that's what I would have to assume that somebody's got to have a lawsuit against.
	What is the Kucinich thing?
	Is it the Kucinich thing?
	No, the Kucinich thing is only about the war powers?
	It's only about the war powers resolution.
	They haven't got a leg to stand on it because he'll just keep falling back on this.
	Yeah, because all he's doing is he's just saying, hey, this is the law that Bush put in place September 18th.
	Your pal Bush.
	Yeah, your buddy Bush.
	Put into place, and so that's here.
	Whereas the President has authority under the Constitution to take action to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States.
	Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.
	That's why he had to say our interests.
	Yes, interests.
	Exactly.
	We've got no interests.
	Yeah, we do.
	Well, it goes to Italy.
	I'm interested.
	I suppose you could make the argument, if you're going to use that vague generality, American interests, whatever happens anywhere in the world, including some guy in Indonesia taking a poop in the street, has something to do with our interests.
	That could be in our interest, and we can go in under Law 107-40.
	Either these guys are incredibly stupid.
	Or they're in on the game.
	And I just got to think, listening to NPR. I mean, I'm not a reporter.
	I'm a disc jockey.
	All I do is I just go to whitehouse.gov.
	I see the actual letter from the president.
	This is what he sent.
	That other thing is from the Department of Defense.
	That's not from the president.
	It's not.
	So let me get this straight.
	Yes, please recap.
	I'm going to recap.
	You're driving around in Los Angeles in your car in traffic.
	Yes.
	And you're putting your roof down on a green light because traffic's not doing anything.
	You've even given up on the freeway.
	You're on city streets.
	And you're listening, trying to find something on the radio to listen to.
	So you're listening to 105.
	You're listening to 102.
	No, 89.
	KCRW. Because there's nothing on it but a bunch of crap.
	No, it's...
	Yeah, exactly.
	Okay, so then you say, oh, nuts.
	And so you start listening to talk radio and you finally worm your way around and you end up on NPR. NPR. Yes!
	find that the entire thing that you did, the day you've spent driving around aimlessly, listening to what should be information being provided to you by people who know what they're talking about, was all bullcrap.
	Yes, exactly.
	I also learned, I also learned about the Plastinus age.
	The Plasticine age.
	It was very entertaining.
	About giant leaves.
	Cryleolithic.
	No, it was something else.
	It was...
	Plasticine.
	And she actually literally said, I have to remember to call it the Ice Age.
	Maybe it's the Pleostine or I don't know what it is.
	Yeah, Pleostine.
	And it sounded like plasticine.
	And this woman...
	We're going to call it that from now on.
	This woman literally said, I have to remind myself to call it the Ice Age because it's a scientific term.
	I have to say plasticine.
	I am plasticine!
	About to remind for the stupid listeners of NPR, it's the Little Ice Age.
	Well, on that note, I think we should mention our executive producers for today's show.
	Yes.
	So I've done some work for y'all.
	I hope you appreciate...
	Yeah, well, if that was it...
	No, there's more.
	There's more.
	Public Law 107-40.
	Look it up yourself.
	There will be links to it in the show notes at 313.nashownotes.com.
	Sir Lawrence Franchik.
	Hello, everybody.
	Please plug a video project I'm working on, lovetalesvideo.org.
	Tales is T-A-I-L-S. Get it?
	If any love tales, love tales, ha.
	If any producers have adopted a dog or a cat, I'd love to hear from you.
	Also, please give me a shout-out karma and happy birthday shout-out as today is my 30th.
	Yeah, we have them on the list.
	We have them on the list.
	So here's your karma shot, my friend.
	You've got karma.
	And he's a member of the 333.33 Club.
	Yep.
	Ryan Lackey in London, Ontario, Canada, a member of the 313 Club.
	No comment.
	Wait a minute.
	Didn't he...
	Oh, did he send us an email?
	I have a feeling he sent me an email.
	Let me just check.
	You look it up while I go on.
	Yeah.
	Tice...
	Arntzen, A-R-N-T-Z-E-N from Hamburg, Deutschland.
	Another member of the 313 Club.
	Hello, John.
	Hello, Adam.
	I've been listening to the show for some time.
	I always felt guilty for being a boner and not giving you value for value.
	Until now, I'm in need of some karma.
	Here it comes for you.
	You've got karma.
	For some things like a charity rally around the Baltic Sea, 4,600 miles in two weeks in a 20-year-old car.
	Hey!
	That sounds a lot like the Hot Pockets 2008 trip.
	And you see, he's got a website.
	We'll put a link in the show notes.
	It's a German site only.
	Tice from Gitmo Nation sauerkraut.
	Craig Jones in Danville, Pennsylvania at Associate Executive Producer, $200.
	Actually, I think it's Tease.
	Yeah, it's Tease.
	Okay, Tease.
	Tease.
	Hey, John and Adam, I believe this should put me over the top for a knighthood.
	I'm a college student contemplating his life post-graduation, thinking about getting a PhD in history.
	I would like some karma, another karma demand.
	You've got karma.
	To get some help in the decision-making process, I need it.
	Thanks, guys.
	Give it the good work.
	Ten and a half rings.
	I'm going to bring up a decision-making trick that I picked up on that I'll discuss after we do one more, which is Daniel Collins, who's our other associate executive producer from Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
	Just hoping to thank you guys or wanting to thank you guys for the great show by donating.
	I was hoping to get some karma.
	Wow, it's all karma day.
	It's all karma.
	Hold on.
	Let's roll it out right now.
	You've got karma.
	You know, the thing is, people are seeing the karma working.
	That's why they want it.
	Yeah, it's amazing.
	To hopefully help out with some issues I'm having right now, I also love John's Hot Pocket soundbite, and hopefully you can play it.
	Hot Pockets!
	This is the effect you've had on kids of one of our producers.
	Parents everywhere are hating you right now for your hot pockets.
	Hot pockets.
	Thanks again for sifting through the BS in the news, finding some real story, and presenting it as an enjoyable format.
	There was a book came out by that columnist in the New York Times, Brooks.
	I remember his first name offhand.
	But anyway, I have to get the title.
	I'll do it maybe later.
	Hey, great prep there, John.
	Love that.
	Whatever the guy's name was, I don't know the title.
	But it's a book.
	It's a book.
	It's made of paper.
	It's made of paper.
	It's good.
	He had this interesting thing.
	There's been a lot of research on, not intuition, but on the subconscious and how it's actually working in the background, doing its own thought processes, and actually tries to contribute to our consciousness by giving us information that might be useful in making decisions.
	It's called NPR. And so there's an interesting trick that he came up with, which I always thought was a good...
	David Brooks?
	I think it's David Brooks.
	David Brooks, exactly.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, somebody discovered that you can't really talk to your subconscious when you're awake.
	And when you're asleep, you can't remember half the things it tells you.
	So it's just useless most of the time.
	But there's a trick.
	He says you can do it when you're really at a point where you don't know what to do.
	The social animal?
	Is that what it's called?
	The social animal?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the social animal.
	Put it on the book club, people.
	If you really don't know what to do, you have two choices.
	So you flip a coin.
	And what, you know, one says one, you know, do it or don't do it.
	He says when the coin, apparently somebody thought this was a good idea.
	When the coin results come out immediately, you get heads, you go and you have, if you have an immediate feeling of elation, that means you should do that.
	If you have immediate feeling of disappointment, it has to be immediate.
	What happens right there?
	Yeah, go the other way.
	You're disappointed in the coin flip results, you go the other way.
	This is exactly how we're planning our trip.
	This is exactly how we're doing it.
	Miss Mickey, she said to me, so when are we going to sit down and plan out the route?
	I'm like, no.
	You know, misorganization.
	No, we're going to start in Virginia, and we're going to flip a coin, and we're going to do it exactly this way.
	If we don't feel good, we'll go the other way, the coin says.
	Yeah.
	It'll be a challenge coin, of course.
	Of course.
	But anyway, I thought that was a very interesting thing.
	Yeah, because that's the only time you can actually hit your conscious, but you have to realize it immediately, not say, oh, I have to obey the coin.
	Right.
	You have to look for that.
	Whatever that feeling is, if it's got a good feeling or a bad feeling, then that's what you go with, not the coin.
	So that's the way you make a decision in those situations.
	Am I reading that you didn't have your challenge coin when asked about it on Twit?
	Did you get coin challenged and you didn't have it?
	No.
	Nobody's coin challenged me on Twit.
	Oh, well, I'm just reading the chat room.
	They must be wrong.
	The chat room's full of crap.
	So, speaking of all this, and we will indeed have a new night today.
	Craig Jones will be Sir Craig Jones.
	For the grief that I sometimes give him on the show, which is all done in loving fun, of course, I have to say, Eric the Shill did a bang-up job on the Night Rings.
	It's been, how long have we been talking about these things?
	Two years?
	Five years.
	And they're in.
	And I have to say, they are beautiful.
	They're made of white gold.
	And Miss Mickey, did you see the pictures?
	I think she did a really good job.
	It's so hard to photograph a very, very shiny ring.
	Did you see the pictures?
	Yeah.
	Rings.
	You didn't see them, did you?
	Ha!
	Go to rings.nashownotes.com, John.
	You can see him right now.
	It's very hard to actually photograph rings properly.
	I'm going to take a look at it myself.
	Let's see if the website comes crashing down.
	Rings.nashownotes.com.
	It's in the links, of course.
	You getting the site?
	Going there now.
	Oh, there we go.
	So, she has four pictures, and these are really great, and she also hit me in the mouth and tweeted the picture of the indent of night in the morning, ITM, number three, and then the Latin for hit him in the mouth.
	And we also did a picture with the wax, the sealing wax that comes with it.
	It works really well, by the way.
	The sealing wax is outstanding.
	I think the picture that we should use for their promotions is the picture of the ring on the ceiling wax with the red background.
	That's the one that...
	It's beautiful, isn't it?
	Although the one underneath that, I think you see more of the ring.
	Yeah, but it's a muddier picture.
	Really?
	It's closer, though.
	You should never use green or brown or anything like that for a background color.
	It's actually a mirror, as you can tell.
	It's reflecting something weird.
	Yeah.
	Either one, I don't care.
	Greg Birch has a whole crap load of these pictures on Flickr.
	Like a whole hundreds of them.
	Right, so what I'd like is add in the comments on this page at rings.nashownotes.com add a link to your pictures and then I'll create a little archive of night rings and not just like your picture of your ring but like, you know, wearing it, hitting someone in the mouth, doing something, propagating the formula, whatever it is, so we can Show these off.
	They're beautiful.
	I think the box, I'm not too crazy about.
	It looked a little better in the pictures.
	And it comes in like a brown, plain brown paper bag.
	But that's to keep the cost down, so I understand.
	It's not like Apple.
	You know, you get like the beautiful box, and you know, assembled in Cupertino.
	No, it's like, eh, here's a bag in a box.
	Oh, and then the ring comes out, which is really nice.
	But it's a beautiful...
	A beautiful thing to have.
	And all of our knights and dames and our barons and baronesses are getting them.
	I think we've shipped just about everybody.
	Some of them haven't given us their ring sizes yet.
	So if you haven't done that yet, make sure you...
	We also have overseas shipments that are delayed.
	Okay.
	Just a couple other pieces.
	Actually, you know, I'm looking at these two again.
	I have to agree with you.
	The bottom one is the best.
	It's better, right?
	Just look at the detail of the ring.
	The other one is that even though the ring is nice and clear, it's a little too small and there's some mush on the mirror.
	Right, right underneath the wick?
	Yeah, which has to be photoshopped out.
	Anyway, whatever.
	Who cares?
	You're such a perfectionist.
	You care.
	It's okay.
	You and Mickey work on that.
	Give her a call.
	Yeah, she can do it.
	She's taking the picture.
	I don't have a ring yet.
	You don't have your...
	I'm wearing mine.
	Hello, everybody.
	I'm wearing mine.
	I wear it proudly.
	I wore it to the meeting with that guy yesterday.
	I saw his eye go like, what's that?
	What is that thing?
	Is that a Super Bowl ring?
	You played a bowl, man?
	Yeah.
	Can't you tell?
	You win a championship somewhere?
	That's right.
	A couple other PR initiatives that we want to thank people for.
	Forwarding domain names, and these will become very valuable with the new system I'm working on.
	You're going to love it.
	cspan.me, now forwarding to noagendashow.com, which I thought was a pretty cool one, because we are indeed the people who watch C-SPAN, so you don't have to.
	This domain is not forwarding to noagendashow.com, but I like it anyway for a mention.
	It's forwarding to Monsanto, whoispoisoningmyfood.com.
	Kind of like.
	So you can propagate that.
	Oh, man.
	Propagate that all over the place.
	And then, of course, it was inevitable that we have HailTheFoot.com and NoAgendaWhistles.com are registered and ready for business, so I'm happy about that, as are BadBling.com and PoppyStan.com.
	Very, very nice.
	And, of course, a reminder...
	That the HotPockets2008.com website is up and we're maintaining that.
	And Baroness Maggie Vinson of Virginia has her tour rig blog.
	I guess she is doing a little party when we get there.
	There's going to be some people for the hot tub and martinis before we kick off.
	And someone actually sent me a cool...
	Take about six martinis and hit the road.
	She's really great, though.
	She has outfitted this thing.
	I mean, we can go for five years now.
	Right down to the pink-colored French press.
	It's all...
	Yeah, she has a French press that is pink.
	It's all in there.
	But now she's also...
	She's a sysadmin, right?
	She's a geek.
	So she's got like audio, video, wireless routers.
	This thing is like...
	It's got antennas sticking out of it everywhere.
	It's great.
	I think she's working on multiplexing.
	It's going to be cool.
	Has someone offered the idea maybe we should do a GPS route?
	Remember that guy who did...
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You should.
	I thought you mentioned it.
	You should do that.
	The guy was...
	Yeah, it's plotting where you are.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so we draw something on the map by driving in a certain direction.
	Yeah, around and around.
	We see where you're lost.
	Maybe we should drive an Obama logo or something cool like that.
	We've got to think of what we should be driving to create a cool GPS map.
	And we got a little misguided love from CNN. Did you see that?
	No.
	So CNN has Mark Millian, who looks like he's 12, reading apps sell subscriptions to Fuzzy Feelings.
	As in reading apps.
	Not reading apps, but reading apps.
	And he talks about the one-time fee being charged for Instapaper, and then he talks about the donation model.
	And he says, No Agenda, an online program co-created by podcast pioneer and former MTV personality Adam Curry, asks listeners to donate $50 a month.
	Hey, thanks for debunking our formula.
	Idiot.
	We don't ask people to donate 50 bucks a month.
	I know!
	This is what kills me.
	That's your news.
	So whenever there's something in there you actually know about, it's always wrong.
	So how can the rest be correct?
	Yeah.
	And thank you all.
	I guess we have a couple more.
	I've been working very diligently on your podcast licenses, podcastlicense.com.
	And not a minute too soon, as now the provincial government of the North Rhine-Westphalia in Gitmo Nation, Deutschland, is actually putting together the Internet Media Pass.
	Which kids will be schooled in, and then you get your media passed, and then you can go on Facebook.
	So I think you should get your license now, kiddies.
	Yeah, wow is right.
	It's sad.
	Very, very sad.
	So you were right, John.
	We're right on the path there.
	I saw that coming miles away, and it's amazing to me that it's moved as fast as it has.
	Oh, it's moving at lightning speed.
	And, of course, we'd like to thank the people who supported this program in particular, the people who made it possible, our associate executive producers, soon-to-be Sir Craig Jones and Daniel Collins, our executive producers, Sir Lawrence Fronick.
	Fronick?
	Fronick?
	Did we say it like that?
	Yes, Froncheck.
	Francek.
	I'm sorry.
	Francek.
	Yes, I have it written here properly.
	Francek, who was also the exclusive 333 Club member.
	And we have Ryan Lackey and Tease Arnsen, who are both executive producers and 313 Club members.
	Remember, the Pi Club is the next episode.
	Actually, it's Francek, the way he's got it.
	Sorry.
	Ron Sec.
	Yeah.
	The Pie Club is coming up on Sunday.
	That'll be episode 314.
	And, of course, we'll have a...
	Ooh, the Pie Club's coming up.
	People should get in the Pie Club.
	Yeah, the Pie Club.
	You want to be in the Pie Club.
	And then 333, of course, is coming up shortly as well.
	And all of our producers today, executive and associate executives, as you know, these are real credits.
	We don't mess around like the phony baloney douchebags in Hollywood.
	If you need someone to vouch for you, we will gladly do it.
	You can put it anywhere where credits are valid.
	And again, we really appreciate you helping us out.
	Now, there's still something you all can do, which is go out and propagate that formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	World. Order.
	Order!
	Say it, everybody, loud and proud.
	Shut up!
	All you are.
	So, top news story.
	Hey, everybody, top news story.
	Hold on a second.
	Ladies and gentlemen, top news.
	Now we go over to John C. Dvorak in Berkeley.
	John?
	Japanese researcher creates artificial meat from human feces, creating a poop burger.
	Some hardcore carnivores have a hard time finding meat alternatives, such as soy protein or tofu, to be palatable, but non-meat eaters may lose their appetite along with their carnivorous friends.
	Poop burger?
	A meat alternative made from human excrement.
	You heard it correctly, Japanese scientist Mitsuyuki Akita has developed a burger made from soy, steak, sauce essence, and poop.
	Mmm.
	And they have a picture of him, and he's holding him.
	I guess somebody wrote down, because he's Japanese, doesn't really understand English, so it says shitburger on it.
	Shitburger.
	Oh, my goodness.
	So now that's just pretty much what, you know, we can expect from our vegan friends.
	Is it poopburger?
	Yeah.
	Hey, why don't you come over to the house on there?
	I'll throw some poopburgers on the grill.
	You eating meat?
	Oh, okay, we got to poop.
	In fact, I'm grinding up some fresh poop burger for you right now.
	That's kind of like your Sunday Times segment.
	I would expect that to be in the Sunday Times.
	Front page.
	Yeah.
	So, I can't resist because Kevin Reeves, who I respect enormously as a musician, and everyone can stop now, we have John's Sunday Times jingle.
	You want to hear it?
	Want a little sneak peek?
	Yeah, hit it.
	Yeah.
	John's gonna harm the Sunday times.
	Isn't that a beautiful Sunday vibe?
	Perfect?
	It's a Sunday, yeah.
	It's a Sunday vibe.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That or a lounge act.
	One of the two.
	I like it.
	I think it's great.
	I think it's perfect for you.
	So, uh...
	We'll do that on Sunday.
	In other news, it's kind of interesting food-related.
	Hold on.
	After the poop burger, now John C. DeVore, I get Berkley with more food news.
	John.
	So, apparently Michelle...
	You're supposed to say, thank you, Adam.
	Thank you, Adam.
	Yeah.
	So, Michelle...
	Back to you, Adam.
	Yeah.
	So, Michelle Obama was in town for a $2,500...
	Oh, yeah.
	No, no, no, no.
	She was in town...
	You mean in Los Angeles or San Francisco?
	No, here.
	San Francisco.
	Oh, okay.
	Because she was here...
	You go ahead.
	She was here, too.
	Oh, she's all over the place.
	Yeah, of course.
	So, halfway through the meal, the whole group...
	All the waiters and waitress come out and they grab all the silverware...
	And replace everything with plastic forks and knives.
	What?
	Right in the middle of the meal that apparently were supposed to be plastic forks and knives from the get-go.
	Really?
	Yeah, and my wife Mimi looked up this trend.
	She's apparently been doing this a lot.
	They're afraid somebody's going to come at her with one of the knives, they say.
	Oh, it's for her securite?
	Is that it?
	Oh, wow.
	Which is bogus.
	But I think, and there's another story that came up, and this was just totally under-reported, and you have trouble finding it.
	And I'm not even, I can't verify, there's only one report of it, but apparently, remember that time she was in Spain and spending $4,000 a night for her and her old friends?
	Yeah, she was in Marbella.
	Yeah, that's it.
	Yeah, where all the drug dealers were.
	Well, apparently after she left...
	The silverware was gone.
	It was.
	They were missing the silverware.
	She stole the silverware.
	I hate it when that happens.
	And they put a big...
	So I'm thinking when she's going to these different events, they remove the knives and spoons in the middle of the service, not at the beginning, because they're afraid Michelle's going to steal the cutlery.
	Oh, come on.
	I'm telling you, I think she's a kleptomaniac.
	Ugh.
	You know, speaking of the Obamas and food...
	There's no other explanation for this, by the way.
	Well, the plastic is wrong.
	I mean, that's eco-unfriendly.
	I thought you were going to say, like, chopsticks or bamboo made of wood or something.
	No, no, plastic.
	Plastic.
	So, Barack, and by the way, you can call him Barack because he's sending out emails now.
	And it says, Barack, this was sent to one of our producers, David.
	David, I'd like, I've set aside time for four supporters like you to join me for dinner.
	With plastic cutlery.
	Most campaigns fill their dinner guest list primarily with Washington lobbyists and special interests, but ooh, not me.
	No, we didn't get it.
	I swear to God, this is a real email.
	We didn't get here doing that.
	We're not going to start now.
	We're running a different kind of campaign.
	Oh, right.
	I never have a meeting with a lobbyist.
	We're running a different kind of campaign.
	We don't take money from Washington lobbyists or special interests or PACs.
	We never have and never will.
	Oh, really?
	We rely on everyday Americans giving whatever they can afford, and I want to spend time with a few of you.
	So if you make a donation today, you'll be automatically entered for a chance to be one of the four supporters to sit down with me for dinner.
	Please donate $5 or more today.
	This is what we're doing wrong.
	We've got to offer dinner when people will help us out.
	We'll pay for your flight and the dinner.
	All you need to bring is your story and your ideas about how we can continue to make this a better country for all Americans.
	But I'm not asking you to donate today just so you'd be entered for a chance to meet me.
	Are you kidding?
	That's why I'd enter.
	I'm asking you to say you believe in the kind of politics that gives people like you a seat at the table.
	Whether it's dinner table with me or the table where decisions are made about what kind of country you want it to be.
	I've said before I want people like you to shape this campaign from the very beginning, and this is a chance for four people to share their ideas directly with me.
	Hope to see you soon, Barack.
	Barack.
	Hope to see you soon.
	Hope to see you soon, Barack.
	And it actually says, no purchase necessary to enter the sweepstakes.
	I swear to God.
	Yeah, no, I can't.
	Now, Michelle Obama was in Los Angeles in Southern California, the great state here.
	And she was here under the cover of this show iCarly, which I've never seen.
	She was on an episode playing herself.
	And she was out talking to the media saying she wants the media to portray more stories of military families on television.
	This is what she wants to happen.
	And she's literally saying that, you know, writers, you need to write more about military families.
	It's important.
	I think, yeah, I think there should be more stories about how the banks have been screwing military families.
	Yeah, how the fathers come back dead.
	How the government keeps sending them over, remissioning them over and over and over again.
	I think there should be a lot more stories like that.
	Yeah, I agree.
	It's important Hollywood gets the message because TV and film have the power to teach, she says.
	Yeah, teach how the government is screwing our military people and how the banks are taking advantage of the situation.
	Yeah, I think she's absolutely right.
	I'm all for it.
	I'm with you, Michelle.
	Obama also appeared at two private fundraisers during her visit to Los Angeles on Monday.
	Yeah, of course.
	I'm sure these were just people having dinner with her and Barack.
	Yeah, Barack and some schmuck who gave five bucks.
	Some prize winners.
	Some prize winners, everybody.
	Yeah, I totally agree with you, John.
	I wish it were that way.
	I wish that they would really show the true hardships of military families.
	And not just the...
	What does she expect?
	You know, she's so naive that I don't think she knows what's going on.
	I don't know who gave her this message.
	Somebody probably Gates thinking it was hilarious.
	Hey, watch this.
	I'm going to tell her to say this.
	Watch this.
	Watch her do it.
	Watch her do it.
	No, she's not going to do it.
	Five bucks, she doesn't do it.
	Yeah, she's going to do it.
	She's totally going to do it.
	You know she's going to do it.
	Oh, man, she did it!
	So, I've just got to stay with President Obama for a minute, because it's been really funny.
	There's this new video, and now they've gone out and they've listened to us.
	They've put some production into it.
	And this is where my Vivek Kundra story was going to come in.
	And so he passed this...
	I think an executive order is what it was.
	Yes, it's an executive order, and it's the Don't Waste Anymore, America.
	That's not exactly the name of it, but it's...
	Yes, it is.
	Select USA Initiative.
	And it's an executive order that we have to stop wasting money.
	And we're going to start right here in the White House, everybody.
	And you just have to listen to this, John.
	You may interrupt.
	It is hilarious.
	First of all, hi, everyone.
	Hi, everyone.
	This stack of books right here is called the Federal Register.
	For decades, copies have been printed.
	Yeah, I heard.
	This is ridiculous.
	You heard the whole thing?
	No, but go play.
	...bound and sent to thousands of government offices all across the country, every single day.
	And while you might think that most people just can't wait to dig into their copy as soon as it arrives, the truth is, no one reads this thing.
	And that's because it's ridiculous.
	I wanted to stop it there, but that would be unfair, because he actually says, why no one reads this thing?
	Available on the internet for years.
	Which means taxpayers have been funding some pretty expensive doorstops.
	Okay, and they literally put a stack of these things as a doorstop.
	This is beautiful.
	So we're putting an end to that.
	Saving you millions of dollars each year.
	Millions?
	That's just the tip of the iceberg.
	Ah, what else are we going to do?
	Everyone knows that getting rid of the deficit will require some tough decisions.
	Yeah, so we've got to get rid of the paper.
	Oh yeah, this is going to be a big help.
	But this is how they're training the human resources to believe.
	It's cutting back on billions of dollars in programs that a lot of people care about.
	But what should be easy is getting rid of the pointless waste and stupid spending that doesn't benefit anybody.
	Waste we should be getting rid of, even if we didn't have a deficit.
	Now, what is your pet peeve when it comes to waste, John?
	Well, what, besides Michelle Obama's $1 million budget and 26 assistants?
	Yeah, outside of that.
	Well, the real waste is in the military.
	I know, but your pet peeve with your guy.
	Oh, Vivek Kundra?
	Yeah.
	And the $8 million website?
	$18 million website.
	$18 million website?
	Yeah.
	Believe me, I cannot remember that the number's that high because it's not believable.
	We're off to a good start.
	Over the last two years, we've pulled the plug on all kinds of ridiculous practices.
	Apparently, the government used to overnight containers filled with nothing.
	Don't ask why that is.
	I want to know what that is.
	Was that to put the drugs in that we're shipping back?
	He said, for years the government has been shipping containers that were empty.
	Don't ask.
	I'd be interested in knowing what the deal is.
	I'm very interested in that.
	Shut up!
	Don't ask.
	Sure, some of these cuts aren't that big.
	But no amount of waste is acceptable.
	Not when it's your money.
	Not at a time when so many Americans are already cutting back.
	Just as families are living within their means, government should too.
	So we can invest in the things that we know will create good jobs and grow the economy.
	Things like education and technology.
	Technology!
	Besides, after a while, all these cuts add up.
	Okay.
	Already we've identified about $33 billion in savings.
	Oh my god, this is great!
	This is great!
	Where is it coming from?
	Just for this year.
	And we're not finished.
	Not by a long shot.
	Did you know the federal government pays for a website devoted to a folk music ensemble made up of forest rangers?
	They're called the Fiddlin' Foresters.
	I showed this website of these rangers, the fiddling foresters.
	I'll put their music on my iPod, but I'm not paying for their website.
	And there are hundreds of similar sites.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	Who does this guy think he's fooling?
	The money spent on the website has been spent taking it off of the internet.
	At this point, the maintenance is zero, right?
	Well, wait a minute.
	First of all, he's so disingenuous because this is a website that has just been sitting there since 2005.
	You cannot actually get the music from those guys on the website.
	It's on a whole different website.
	So it's completely disingenuous.
	Yeah, well, it's also a static website that costs probably 10 cents.
	What does it cost?
	Eight cents a day.
	Nobody's pounding it.
	No, well, they took it off.
	It's offline.
	What does it say?
	Five dollars?
	I had to go to the Wayback Machine to get a copy of it.
	It's like, what difference does it make?
	I've got old websites that are sitting around the internet.
	That doesn't cost anything.
	You're a waster!
	You waster you!
	It's not a waste of anything!
	It's bullcrap!
	This is all bullcrap!
	We should consolidate, or just get rid of.
	He's doing like little tick boxes and all these websites are going to get rid of, except for the $18 million website.
	By the way, you're not only paying for websites no one needs.
	You're paying for thousands.
	We're not paying anything for these websites.
	Their websites are static.
	I love when you get riled up.
	Does he think everybody's an idiot?
	Yes.
	This is why I play this for you.
	For their website.
	And there are hundreds of similar sites that we should consolidate or just get rid of.
	By the way, you're not only paying for websites no one needs.
	Hold on a second.
	Do you realize it would cost a fort?
	This is where the money gets wasted.
	Consolidating a bunch of old websites?
	Yeah, that's real money there.
	Hey, that's a contract.
	Just leaving a static site up doesn't cost anything.
	Who is this guy?
	This is ridiculous.
	The public should be incensed by this idiocy.
	So I think this is where Vivek Kundra came in, because there's a report that now, the report said yesterday, Vivek Kundra personally has to authorize any website with a.gov domain name.
	Oh, brother.
	That was his only job, I think.
	It was like, I'm not going to do this anymore.
	I don't want to be approval of.gov domain names.
	You're paying for thousands of buildings all across the country no one uses.
	For the last decade, the government's owned a massive and completely empty warehouse in the middle of Brooklyn.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	Now, the government hadn't been able to sell this building, and others like it, because of red tape.
	Yeah, how about because the economy?
	Red tape.
	And Washington politics that held things up for years.
	Oh, okay.
	But we're finally cutting through all that.
	Oh, finally.
	And plan to get rid of these buildings in the months ahead.
	What are we going to do?
	Demolish them?
	He doesn't really quite specify.
	Yeah, you're not going to sell them on this market.
	Government buildings.
	Market waste and make government more efficient have been a priority for my administration since day one.
	Priority.
	Here's the best part.
	Work to tackle the budget deficit.
	We need to step up our game.
	Yeah.
	We need to go after every dime.
	How are we going to do that?
	Who should we call for that?
	Who can we make the guy to go after all this stuff?
	To make sure we don't waste.
	Come on, who's the guy, John?
	You know the guy.
	Oh, come on.
	It's so obvious.
	The waste guy?
	Yeah, listen.
	We need to make government work for you.
	That's why, starting today, I've asked the Vice President to lead a renewed effort to hunt down misspent tax dollars.
	Oh, he's going to hunt it down.
	He's going to hunt you down like a dog.
	Every agent you see in the department of this government.
	We're calling it the Campaign to Cut Waste.
	And Joe's the guy.
	And I know Joe's the right man to lead it.
	Because nobody messes with Joe.
	Nobody messes with Joe, yo.
	Oh, please.
	So anyway, so here's the fallacy of it all.
	So the next day, the next day, when they're shutting down Ranger Bob's website because it's so wasteful, they throw a picnic at the White House.
	A picnic.
	But not like any old picnic.
	And Barack, because we're allowed to call him Barack because he emails me that way, does a speech.
	And just listen to what...
	It's unbelievable.
	Hello everybody!
	Hey, hold on, here it comes.
	Hello everybody!
	Hello everybody!
	Hey!
	Welcome to the White House!
	Welcome to the White House!
	I love how he's close...
	Welcome to the White House!
	I love how he's close micing, that's cool.
	First of all, I take full responsibility for the weather.
	That's right.
	What a spectacular day for a congressional picnic.
	This is always one of the best events of the year for us, mainly because with all the work that we do with members of Congress and their staffs, all too often...
	I don't know what's playing in the background with something weird going on, but anyway.
	We don't get a chance to say thank you to the families.
	And we understand that public service is tough...
	On the families, in some ways tougher.
	You've got spouses who are away from home, moms or dads or grandpas or grandmas who don't get a chance to see you as often as they'd like.
	And so this is just one modest way for us to say to all of you, thank you for the enormous contributions you make to the country.
	We are thrilled with everything that you guys do each and every day to make this country stronger and more secure and more free.
	It is good to see a lot of familiar faces here.
	Meanwhile, Michelle is next to them, just nodding.
	She's on the stage, just nodding.
	Because they've got a stage, they've got, like, corn dog stands, they've got tents.
	Everybody's getting enough to eat.
	We don't want to make a long speech.
	Nope.
	But I do hope that the spirit of community that...
	Yeah, they've got, like, some disco in the background.
	...evident on a day like today...
	That this carries over each and every day.
	Now.
	We've got Democrats here and Republicans here, and we all have differences on issues at any given moment.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	Now listen, listen, it's coming now.
	The one thing that we have to remind ourselves every day is we're all Americans, and we're all part of the American family.
	So, finally, the last point I'd make is we've got some service members here who help to not only Play the banjo.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	It's okay for you to have a banjo played at your picnic, but it's not okay for Ranger Bob's website to be up.
	But it's okay.
	Just invite the banjo player.
	Maybe play it for free.
	Some wonderful music, but folks who serve each and every day, for all of those who serve our country in uniform, thank you so much.
	Now, let's not waste any money.
	And God bless you.
	We're all grateful to you.
	Alright.
	So, you guys have fun, and I want you guys to eat until you can't eat anymore.
	That's nice.
	Eat until you can't eat anymore.
	Eat while the rest of the country start.
	Let them eat cake.
	Hey, everybody.
	Hello, everybody.
	I'm Barack Obama.
	Eat as much as you can here, elites.
	And we got banjo.
	Shut down, Ranger Bob.
	We got the banjo in the White House.
	Yee-haw!
	There you go.
	So that's your government saving you money.
	Bringing in a banjo player at the White House and shutting down Ranger Bob's website.
	Beautiful.
	Yeah, they're also going to shut down a turtle site.
	There's a site that...
	I know.
	I saw the turtle site.
	For box turtles.
	And this is, you know, again, it's the same thing.
	It's like nobody is...
	This is costing nothing.
	Once the site's up...
	It's just basically a brochure online.
	It doesn't cost anything, so it's not saving any money.
	Unless they're inflating the cost of web service, when they have all these government computers that are online pumped right into May West and May East, I don't see that as a problem.
	It's bullcrap.
	So there was a subtle message in there which you didn't pick up on because you were so annoyed in general.
	Did you hear what he was saying about families and how hard it was and it's tough and people don't realize?
	Did you hear that?
	Did you catch that subtle?
	Yeah, I heard all that.
	What was your prediction?
	What was your prediction about President Barack Obama?
	I don't know.
	I don't have the red book open.
	Oh, that he would be a one-term president and what would he give as an excuse?
	Because he would resign.
	Yeah, what was his excuse?
	What was his excuse?
	I've been living with this for a year, with your prediction, and finally I can help you prove it.
	What is the prediction?
	He's going to give up because of the family.
	Oh, right.
	He has to spend more time with the girls.
	Right.
	Don't you understand?
	Oh, I see what you're coming up with here.
	This is good.
	What you've done is you've deconstructed the beginning of the end for Barack.
	Now, it gets better because Ann Curry...
	No relation to me, who, by the way, in this particular video piece, is hot-looking.
	She's got this little black outfit with a white collar.
	She looks like a maid, okay?
	But really hot-looking in one of those milfy kind of ways.
	Milf!
	And she's being pushed forward now at CBS. She's the new superstar.
	She gets to interview the president as they're walking around the factory floor.
	And she pops the question, which, of course, is not unrehearsed.
	These interviews are not unrehearsed.
	So you still probably, though, had to have a family meeting.
	Did you ask Michelle and the kids about this at the table?
	Look, Michelle and the kids are wonderful in that if I said, you know what, guys, I want to do something different, they'd be fine.
	They're not invested in daddy being president or my husband being president, but they do believe in what we're doing.
	And I think, you know, Michelle, if she didn't think that what we were doing was worthwhile in moving the country forward, I think she'd be the first one to say, why don't you go do something else that is a little less stressful.
	Uh-huh.
	So that's all she has to do.
	All she has to do is say, you know what, Barack, we're done.
	We're out of here.
	It's a setup.
	Well, I agree with what you're...
	I think this analysis is great, but I think the flip side of this is that Michelle is looking at that $1 million budget she has for personal assistance.
	And all that free silverware.
	And the free silverware she steals.
	And she's going to say, you know, Barack, I think you can gut it out for more years.
	Shut up, man.
	Top man up.
	Man up!
	I know your hair's turning gray and you're getting bags under your eyes.
	So what?
	Get on your man pad and man up.
	Man up, darn it.
	And meanwhile, while we're all so worried about Anthony Weiner, and we're having picnics at the White House, We're missing some money.
	The Pentagon has recently been forced to admit it doesn't know where 6.6 billion US dollars scheduled for Iraq have gone.
	Scheduled.
	Scheduled.
	It's Russia today.
	They speak with a British accent.
	Scheduled.
	Yeah, this is, you know, this money was on, we talked about this on the show, it was on pallets.
	Big bags of dollars.
	Yeah.
	That was shipped over to Iraq and they kept in the palace there.
	And just hand it out like candy.
	Yeah, oh gee, really?
	Someone missing?
	Really?
	Huh?
	6.6 billion dollars.
	Is there any outrage over this?
	Is anyone jumping up and down?
	No.
	No.
	No, but they've got to shut down Ranger Bob's website.
	But let's shut down Ranger Bob because, you know, and by the way, I'll have that on my iPod, but not on my website.
	That's literally what he said.
	Why is he plugging Apple all the time?
	Yeah, and he didn't say Zune.
	He didn't say his MP3 player.
	On my Droid.
	He didn't say, he said iPod.
	Yeah, he said iPod.
	Yeah.
	And then it's like...
	I have that on my iPod.
	Hi everybody.
	Hello everybody, I'm Barack.
	This is on my iPod.
	I love iPods.
	And I love Steve Jobs.
	I love banjos.
	Not getting the banjo thing.
	Well, he had a banjo.
	No, I don't understand why he likes banjo.
	I mean, I would think...
	He doesn't because he removed Ranger Bob.
	The Fiddlin...
	What's their name?
	The Fiddlin...
	The Fiddlin Foresters.
	The Fiddlin Foresters.
	I have the link in the show notes, 313.nashownotes.com.
	The Fiddlin Foresters.
	Literally, the website is...
	My love.
	The website...
	Do you have your ring on?
	Excellent.
	Mickey's wearing a ring?
	Yeah, she can't leave the house.
	Is that the engagement ring?
	No, it's funny because they came in and I said, oh look here are the rings.
	She's like, do you want to do something?
	I said, no honey, this doesn't have the bling on it.
	This is just the regular ring.
	I've got to have a rock mounted on it.
	A diamondique.
	But she loves it.
	And Mickey wouldn't wear something if she didn't like the way it looked.
	Fiddlin' Foresters.
	Not updated since 2005.
	Fiddlin'Foresters.gov.
	Yeah, let's call those guys up.
	So it hasn't been updated since 2005.
	Which means it's cost nothing.
	No, it costs nothing at all.
	It's like a four-page website.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, okay.
	Alright.
	So, do you want to change subjects to the real news?
	Please, please.
	Real news?
	Oh, I wasn't ready for that.
	And now, back to real news.
	What has this been?
	This has been nothing but real news.
	While you were struggling and watching this crap with Obama and C-SPAN, I watched the Tonys.
	The Tonys!
	I heard they were really good.
	I heard that the hosts were really good.
	They were astonishingly good.
	What's-his-name was very funny.
	Neil Patrick Harris?
	Yeah, self-deprecating.
	His first song, they opened this whole show with, which is Broadway is not for gays anymore.
	And he's gay, right?
	Yeah, he's totally gay.
	And he makes fun of it.
	But what was weird, I mean, the show was well-produced.
	Usually it's a very horribly produced, non-TV-oriented show, but this is very slick.
	And it had a lot of humor, and they had a lot of Broadway acts you got to see.
	And well produced.
	But the weird thing was the following clip that I have.
	And you have to listen to the whole thing just without comment.
	Is this the Tony acceptance speech?
	This is a Tony acceptance speech.
	The guy who won for Best Actor is Mark Rylance.
	This is his second Tony.
	Wait, didn't he win for something really weird like, what was the name of the play?
	It was Jerusalem.
	He played this crazy guy that lived out in a trailer and he was being pushed out by British bureaucrats.
	It's a very good play.
	If anyone's in New York and wants to see a good play.
	You've seen it?
	Yeah, we saw it.
	I thought you went to Spider-Man.
	We saw Spider-Man.
	We saw Jerusalem.
	We saw Memphis.
	It was like a play-o-rama.
	We just saw a lot of plays.
	I bet your whole family listens to NPR as well.
	Actually, they don't.
	Oh, wait, wait.
	Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
	So I still got some setup.
	I was really tight on that, too.
	Yeah, you were.
	You were outstanding.
	It would have been beautiful if you had had the setup.
	Normally.
	But I just want people to know the following things.
	This guy gives an acceptance speech.
	Nobody...
	After the acceptance, you're going to hear it and you're going to go, what?
	Nobody commented on it.
	It wasn't written up in the newspaper, at least any article I saw.
	Oh, it must have been good.
	What's-her-name comes on and she assumes...
	Who's what's-her-name?
	Be specific.
	Who's what's-her-name?
	What's-her-name is the wife of...
	Neil Patrick Harris?
	Michael Douglas' wife, the actress.
	Oh, Catherine Zeta-Jones.
	How come I... Why do I know all this?
	And she's bipolar.
	She got an applause, right?
	Big standing ovation because she's bipolar and she walked on stage?
	No, she didn't get anything special.
	She came out and she's the one who announced this.
	And then after Rylance is done, she goes and just walks right through the next one.
	But tell me that if you were up there, you wouldn't have said something about this acceptance speech.
	Oh!
	And the American Theatre Tony goes to Mark Rylance.
	Having won in 2008 for Boeing Boeing, tonight Mark Rylance takes home his second Tony for his outstanding performance as Johnny Rooster Byron.
	Unlike flying or astral projection, Walking through walls is a totally earth-related craft, but a lot more interesting than pot-making or driftwood lamps.
	I got started at a picnic in Wisconsin in the northern part of the states.
	A fellow walked through a brick wall right there in the park.
	I said, say, I want to try that.
	Stone walls are best, then brick and wood.
	Wooden walls with fiberglass insulation and steel doors aren't so good.
	It's not that they'll hurt you.
	If you're walking through walls as done properly, both you and the wall remain intact.
	It's just that they aren't pleasant somehow.
	The worst things are wire fences.
	Maybe it's the molecular structure of the alloy or the mountain of giving a fence.
	I don't know, but I've lost my hat and torn my jacket and a lot of fences.
	The best approach to a wall is first two hands flat against the wall.
	You'll feel the dry inner surface.
	Then there's a moment of total darkness before you step through on the other side.
	Thanks very much.
	I would have switched over to the Kardashians.
	The thing is, this is the weirdest acceptance speech I've ever heard, and nobody says anything.
	The audience loves it.
	I don't understand a single bit of this joke.
	Of course, I didn't see the play.
	No, it's got nothing to do with the play either.
	It's just a complete off-the-wall, has nothing to do with anything, acceptance speech has got nothing to do with the awards.
	It's just some craziness that this guy decided to start talking.
	And what's her name?
	Catherine Zeta-Jones comes out, never looks over, doesn't do a take, and she just announces the next person.
	And then throughout the rest of the whole evening, nobody mentions it.
	This was crazy.
	This guy was just insane.
	I was stunned.
	I'll tell you why.
	Because Chonis is for elites.
	Because, you know, who the hell can afford a ticket, really?
	You guys stood at TKTS for three hours, I'm sure.
	You got comped or something.
	You don't pay for anything.
	But Chonis are for elites.
	And everyone there is laughing because they think they're supposed to be in on the joke.
	They don't actually understand it.
	Oh, he's so brilliant.
	Brilliant, I tell you.
	I've got to go tell NPR. Brilliant.
	It's stupid.
	Thanks for ruining me.
	You're welcome.
	Wow.
	Real downer.
	Real downer in the show.
	Oh, a downer.
	Well, I get funnier stuff.
	I'm not looking for funny.
	Hey, I know you don't have the red book there.
	How about Issa versus Weasel?
	Issa versus Weasel?
	Is this real news or is it something that we actually care about?
	Oh, okay.
	Well, hey!
	Thank you, thank the gentleman.
	You made a statement.
	Now, you've got to set it up for me because no one understands what the hell is going on.
	So apparently they're having hearings on...
	On this thing called Fast and Furious.
	You're familiar with this?
	Yeah, this is what we talked about months ago about the ATF and the gun smuggling and the thousand guns that are out there that have been lost.
	I mean, we reported on this months ago.
	Two thousand guns, actually.
	And, of course, one of the guns shot some guy, and then they were worried sick that, what's her name, Gifford, the congresswoman that was killed in...
	She wasn't killed.
	She was shot in the head.
	Shot in the head.
	Was done with one of these guns.
	And then there's a bunch of cop-killing guns, it turns out.
	They were also sold.
	Yeah, some Border Patrol guys.
	And they just let these guns...
	Walk to Mexico.
	So now they're having all these hearings, oversight hearings, trying to nail the Justice Department.
	Remember, they didn't want to do this because the guy coming in was a big anti-gun guy at the ATF, and we deconstructed all of this.
	Right.
	But now they're trying to get to the bottom of, you know, who approved the stupid program.
	And, of course, they're getting sandbagged by the Obama administration.
	So I've got actually a couple of different clips here.
	Okay.
	But try Issa versus the Weasel.
	This is a...
	To me, this is just good...
	A good way for people to see if you're going to be on the...
	Who is ISA? You've got to explain who ISA is.
	ISA is a congressman from Los Angeles who's a Republican firebrand.
	He's always trying to stir up stuff.
	And by the way, nothing ever comes of these hearings because it turns out that the...
	And this started, I don't know when it started.
	It must have started during the Bush administration.
	But the party in power in the presidency, the Congress doesn't care anymore.
	The party in power just gives everything.
	They want the president to do everything.
	And so they sandbag all these things.
	They should just shut down Congress and just let the president become a king.
	In that letter that you signed...
	Let them hear banjo!
	...on the 4th, it said, ATF makes every effort to interdict weapons...
	That have been purchased illegally and prevent their transportation to Mexico.
	Who prepared that line in your letter?
	Chairman, I said...
	You signed it.
	Who prepared it?
	Was it you?
	These letters are the product of the Justice Department.
	So your signature on that letter doesn't mean that you know it to be true.
	Is that correct?
	I take ultimate responsibility.
	Okay.
	Isn't that statement false now with what you know?
	Obviously, there have been...
	Allegations that call into serious question, that particular...
	With their documents that now have been provided.
	Did you take that cookie from the cookie jar?
	Well, Mom, obviously there have been allegations that lead into serious question about the...
	The guy will not answer anything.
	...made public that lets you know that that statement was false.
	And that's why you're investigating and that's why we're investigating.
	I just take your agreement that those documents indicate that that statement that you signed that someone prepared for your signature were false.
	Congressman, I'm not prepared to say that at this time.
	Everything that we say is true to the best of our knowledge at the time we say it.
	As more facts come out, obviously our understanding of the situation is enhanced.
	Just for the record, we will be posting online the 20-some pages that were made available.
	Since out of the 20-some pages...
	I'm going to post them online!
	...only thing that's not redacted.
	Other than internal use only statements is Kevin Simpson, Acting Division Operations Officer, U.S. Department of Justice, ATF, 201 East Washington Street, Suite 940, Phoenix, Arizona, and the Zip.
	I'm going to post them online.
	He started off this hearing complaining of this guy showing up.
	We asked for documents and here's what you sent us.
	And he holds up one page after another just solid black.
	Oh yeah, it's all redacted.
	You can't see any.
	But it's not like there's a word in there.
	It's all black.
	It's a bunch of black stuff.
	And it was pretty funny.
	So it goes on.
	There's one more douchebag weasel thing where the guy won't answer questions.
	Justice Department douchebag weasel one.
	Oh, that would be a very obvious clip.
	Mr.
	Chairman, you've raised a number of issues.
	Let me try to address...
	Do the last ones first.
	Who authorized this program that was so felony stupid that it got people killed?
	The Attorney General has said that he wants to get to the bottom of this.
	He has directed the office of the Inspector General at the Justice Department to review this matter in order to answer questions like the ones...
	And if that's the case, then why are we any burden at all?
	Isn't every one of our requests consistent with what the Inspector General and the Attorney General should be looking at in this case?
	I don't know for a fact that everything you've asked for is what they're looking at.
	I hope you came here to answer questions like that.
	We're asking for things related to the above the field level almost exclusively.
	Our questions are about who authorized this?
	Why did it happen?
	Why did it continue?
	Our question to you today is the president said he didn't authorize it.
	He said the attorney general didn't authorize it.
	He didn't say he didn't know about it.
	It was the auto pen.
	It's obvious.
	He said he didn't authorize it.
	Who, at Justice, authorized this program?
	As I've said, Mr.
	Chairman, the Office of the Inspector General.
	Who, at Justice, if you know, I ask you to answer.
	Who do you know was involved in the authorization of this today?
	Do you know?
	Do you know?
	Well, Mr.
	Chairman, if you'll permit me to answer the question.
	We sent a letter to Chairman Smith, who asked a question like that.
	We pointed out that this operation, as with other law enforcement operations, originated in the ATF's Phoenix office.
	That's not authorization.
	Who authorized it at the highest level?
	I bet you it was Lucy.
	I bet you it was Lucy Napolitano, wasn't it?
	Oh, maybe.
	Wasn't she in Arizona?
	She was in Arizona.
	Wasn't she Attorney General in Arizona?
	I thought she was Arizona.
	Oh, no, maybe.
	She's Arizona, dude.
	I thought she was Arizona.
	Yeah, you're right.
	She is Arizona.
	So they're covering her.
	Well, they've got a lot of cover to do.
	They're covering her ass.
	Do you know who authorized it at the highest level?
	Answer me!
	Phoenix or Tucson or any part of Arizona, if you please.
	No.
	Mr.
	Chairman, it's difficult to answer your questions.
	I want the answer to my question, which was who here in Washington authorized.
	We know who looked at it on video.
	We know who authorized it effectively, at least by acquiescence.
	Who authorizes it, Justice?
	Mr.
	Chairman, I do not know the answer to that question, and the Inspector General is reviewing the matter.
	Wow.
	Then we will have somebody back who does.
	The ranking member is recognized.
	Wow.
	He knows.
	Yeah, they all know.
	Who is it then?
	I don't know.
	They're not saying.
	I'll bet you it was Lucy.
	They're covering for somebody big time.
	It's got to be her or Holder.
	It's got to be someone important.
	Otherwise, they wouldn't...
	I mean, wow.
	Oh, that just went on for hours.
	And you watched all of it, right?
	You watched all of it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	There's a bunch of stuff.
	There's another one, just the last clip on this, just so people can get a feeling for what's going on.
	Play the ATF retaliation clip.
	And had to leave for some votes.
	But you mentioned that it was the rule, rather than the exception, I think, to have the surveillance without the interdiction or the arrests.
	Did I get the gist of it?
	For this investigation, yes, it was.
	And then you state in your testimony, it has become common practice for ATF supervisors to retaliate against employees that do not blindly tow the company line, no matter what the consequences.
	Can you describe what any of that retaliation may have been?
	I would just say refer back to OIG investigations over the countless years of Loyola attorneys that have represented ATF employees for all types of retaliation for whistleblowing, punitive actions for whether that Agent or inspector deserve the punitive action.
	You mentioned in the email that you received, you felt it was threatening.
	Were you personally threatened by...
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so this is good.
	This is kind of what we discussed when we talked about it.
	Well, nothing's coming out.
	They're all just sitting there lying.
	I remember when we had the Nixon, the Watergate scandal, my grandmother, bless her, Wiffy, would send my mom, bless her, Breezy, cassette tapes.
	This is how involved people were back then.
	Because, of course, we didn't have internet.
	We barely had telephone.
	And she would record all of this off of television with her little cassette recorder with a microphone next to the TV and send them over.
	My mom would listen to all of them.
	And people were really involved and outraged and they got Nixon kicked out eventually.
	But now it's just like, no one's watching.
	No one cares.
	We're watching.
	Good job.
	This particular, there's even more.
	I mean, there's a lot of good stuff, including Issa yelling at this guy.
	And then watching the Democrats come up and say, well, you know, the president's looking into it.
	Oh, it's got to be Holder.
	It's got to be Holder or Lucy.
	It's got to be.
	Whatever the case is, it's some dummy up there.
	But the point is that I'm noticing is that the congresses basically in the olden days, they used to be, especially in the 1800s, they used to be tough cookies and they used to be a group amongst themselves and they were always at war with them.
	They would take the president on as a group.
	They wouldn't have a bunch of president stooges in Within their body, because their body is a standalone body.
	We have the way the government works in this country.
	We have three bodies, the executive, the legislative, and the judicial.
	And these guys are supposed to balance things.
	You're not supposed to be the executives.
	You're not supposed to have a bunch of stooges within the other organization.
	It's bullcrap.
	And all you see is these guys, they get into something, they try to get to the bottom of something, and then the people from the other party, and this happens with Bush and the Republicans too, they submarine, and there's this Cummins from Georgia was at this thing, that black guy, and all he did was apologize to the guy.
	He came out and apologized to the guy that Issa was yelling at.
	He says, I'm sorry that my committee chairman is yelling at you.
	You didn't hurt your feelings.
	It's embarrassing to the committee.
	You didn't hurt your feelings.
	And he went on and on like that.
	And there's another guy on there the same way.
	And it's just like, are you investigating or are you just working for Obama?
	Right.
	If you're working for Obama, why don't you go work for him?
	What are you doing in Congress?
	I mean, the separation of powers has been ruined.
	I don't know when it began.
	I'm sure it goes back further.
	It probably goes to Nixon or even before then.
	Johnson.
	Well, Johnson, for sure.
	But it's really gotten bad now.
	So Congress has been de-balled because it doesn't want to stand up on its own as its own thing.
	It has to be kowtowing to the president, whatever party you are.
	If you're a Democrat, the president's a Democrat, you have to kowtow to him.
	You're in Congress.
	You're not working in the executive suite.
	All this crap goes for naught.
	Just a big waste of time.
	I don't even know why we do the show.
	Oh, wow.
	That hurts.
	Just saying.
	Well, I think it's important that people know about this and know what's going on.
	And let's face it, no one has time to watch C-SPAN. We're helped by our supporters and producers to do exactly that.
	And so we have to bring the information so people can at least sound smart at cocktail parties and maybe pick up some sex.
	Maybe, if they're lucky.
	Maybe.
	Yeah, by quoting stuff from the No Agenda show, they're going to get laid.
	I'm going to show my support 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 do have some donors this week.
	Not a lot, but what's weird is we only have one 111 donor.
	Tom Gibson out of Redondo Beach, California, a new donor.
	Threw in $111, which is part of the year 111.
	And no comment.
	He's got no comment.
	Anonymous gave us $100, and he says, please keep me totally anonymous.
	He's anonymous from anonymous and anonymous.
	No name or location.
	Okay.
	Yes, it's anonymous.
	I'm not saying anything.
	I don't even know why we mentioned it.
	Jane Middleton, Austin, Texas.
	75 bucks.
	Just living the American dream.
	Work hard, live within my means, and have a little financial security.
	I'm just able to pay my bills.
	I'm privileged to donate what's left over to no agenda.
	Keep on living the dream.
	You know, I keep getting calls from the Gary Johnson campaign, you know, because I, like, paid attention to him.
	Yeah.
	And so now I'm like, you know, tell them to do this.
	And he actually went on Stossel and he was talking about, if I had a magic wand, so now he's using my lines, so I said, go watch the President's address about the American dream.
	About, you know, just getting by and retire with dignity and, you know, shut up, slave.
	And have him harp on that, man.
	Have him call the President out.
	So we've got to watch and see if he does that.
	It'll be kind of funny.
	Yeah.
	He should.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	They all should.
	I think anybody running against Obama should use that.
	I mean, it's like a slow pitch down the middle.
	I mean, how can you not swing at it?
	Because no one watches it.
	No one's watching it.
	David Anderson, 66-33, Clayton, North Carolina, a de-douche.
	We got that for you, my friend.
	You've been de-douched.
	As for the 33 meme that we keep picking up on, he says a level 33 Freemason top dog might be where the code comes from.
	You think?
	Yeah.
	Judith Cook, Orleans, Massachusetts.
	Please give my birthday shout out to my son, Jefferson Post of Easton.
	We'll do that in a second.

	My wife, Amy, will be 35.
	It's another birthday call-out.
	Yep, on the list.
	He also wants a milf for her.
	Well, hold on a second.
	Stop.
	Milf?
	That's one mother I'd like to.
	Firas Al Thibani in Riyadh.
	Oh, this is our official ARAB. He's an official Arab.
	Yep.
	He says we're wrong about Syria.
	Yeah, he wants a karma shot too, by the way.
	Yeah, he deserves it.
	He sent a really long email, and I appreciate it, and he said, you know, we're not stupid over here.
	I don't think we've ever said that they're stupid.
	Have we ever said that the people in the Middle East are stupid?
	Not that I recall.
	No, I think they're brave.
	Well, usually they're sharp operators, mostly.
	Anyway, so I've proclaimed him the official A-Rab of the No Agenda show, and he'll be checking in from time to time.
	And, of course, we'd love to give him a little karma shot, obviously.
	You've got karma.
	From Ridja.
	5133, Heather Longoria in Davenport, Iowa.
	Donating in honor of my husband's birthday, another birthday.
	A lot of birthdays.
	Tim's an avid listener of the show.
	I still love him very much, even though he makes me listen to your show on long car rides.
	Oh, painful.
	Then we have a bunch of $50 dollars.
	Try listening to NPR. Try that.
	That'll be great.
	Yeah, listen to NPR for a long car ride.

	Sir Tristan Lennon, $50.
	And he's in Wagga Wagga, by the way.
	Wagga Wagga.
	And they've got a whole bunch of podcast licenses, which is really nice, $33.33.
	You donate that to the show, you get a free podcast license.
	So all of your licenses will be issued, podcastlicense.com.
	And you can see that sometime.
	Wow, there's like a whole mess of them.
	Ugh, work.
	Great idea, Curry.
	And do you want credit for that?
	Is that what you just said?
	No, no, no.
	I'm flogging myself.
	We have a make good here, which Buzzkill Jr.
	sent in doing his work fine.
	John, I'm not sure if my note from last Thursday was truncated before John read it, or if he decided it was too long or had too many requests, but I also requested a douching Of Daniel Schultz and a plug for the No Agenda radio app.
	The douchebag call out was a gift for my wife's birthday and I was disappointed when I was left out.
	Thank you for your time and amazing show, community you guys have created.
	So let's douchebag Daniel Schultz.
	and the Noagina Radio app.
	You can find all that at domains.nashownotes.com.
	Not only do we have the domains there, but also the links that rock, all at domains.nashownotes.com.
	And a quick story here of a request for Carmen.
	I like to pick one out of the barrel from time to time.
	Hi, Adam.
	I'm a Romanian married to an Icelandic girl living in Denmark My name is Gabriel.
	I've been a douchebag, D-U-S-H, for more than a year.
	My wife was in school and now looking for a job, and I don't make enough to support the show.
	I still want to help the show, so I've decided to do a little PR move on your behalf.
	I ran the 5K at the Eventrolöp in Odense, Denmark, where more than 23,000 people participated, and he had a NoAgendaShow.com sign on his butt.
	Could you please send my wife some karma so she can get the designer job she wants?
	Well, absolutely.
	You've got karma.
	And we've got a place to stay if we ever make it to Denmark.
	So if you are new to the program and you're wondering what this is all about, this is our model.
	It's not quite what CNN describes it as.
	And let me give you an idea of how good it is compared to...
	Well, let's just pick one out of the bunch.
	How about our national treasure, NPR? So, one of the journalists of NPR, Dina, I guess, Temple Raston, do you know her?
	Nope, never heard of her.
	So, she's an NPR correspondent, and she was scheduled to speak at the YWCA Women of Distinction Luncheon, $85 a head, and it was promoted incessantly that, you know, oh, she's from NPR. She's from NPR. Oh, she's from NPR. Come look at her.
	She's from NPR. And then when some coverage showed up, she said, oh, you can't record me.
	You can't record me.
	You can't do that.
	I refuse.
	And by the way, it's policy at NPR. You believe that?
	Yeah, I do, after they got busted for saying stupid things.
	Yeah.
	So basically because of Fox News recording an NPR guy at a bar.
	Yeah.
	You can't record me.
	They can't make public comments and get it recorded because they overreacted.
	So NPR is a bunch of douchebags.
	They overreacted.
	Give them the douchebag call.
	Hell yeah.
	Douchebag!
	I love doing that.
	that.
	Unbelievable.
	It's your birthday, birthday, on Noah Chanka.
	And we want to start off with one of our producers today, Lawrence Franchek, Franchek, How do you pronounce again, John?
	Fronsec.
	Sorry.

	He's 29 today as well.
	David C. Pugh says happy birthday to his wife, Amy.

	And Heather Longoria congratulates her husband, Tim, 35 on the 30th.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	It's your birthday!
	And so again, we're very proud that we have the rings for the Knights of the Noah General Roundtable, the dames, the barons, and baronesses.
	And we are going to welcome another person into the exclusive club today who is a college student.
	You hear that?
	College student supporting the show, supporting our model.
	And if we ever actually got paid 85 bucks a head to go speak anywhere, you could record me.
	No problem.
	How about you?
	Absolutely.
	Well, it depends.
	Here's your sword.
	Good.
	Craig Jones, please step forward.
	Extend your finger as we slip on this nice, shiny, white, gold night ring in the morning, ITM, number three, and hit him in the mouth in Latin engraved on it.
	And, of course, we also have to do the official ceremony.

	It's still there.
	It's still there.
	Nobody cares.
	A little low.
	But this, of course, I guess it's the summer.
	It's kicked in.
	It's what happens.
	Right?
	Yeah, that's what I hear.
	So, I guess we should report on the debate.
	Yeah, I watched it, of course.
	Well, I have the key to the whole thing on the John King stupid queries.
	This is a compilation of all the fascinating questions he asked.
	You did a compilation?
	It's a compilation.
	Oh, you did some work.
	Nice.
	Oh, yeah.
	Right.
	I stole it.
	Let's go ahead.
	Leno or Conan?
	Elvis or Johnny Cash?
	Dancing with the Stars or American Idol?
	Blackberry or iPhone?
	Now, imagine you're getting to the barbecue joint.
	Maybe it's here in New Hampshire.
	Maybe it's South Carolina.
	Ordering some wings.
	Spicy or mild?
	Coke or Pepsi?
	Deep dish or thin crust?
	And of course he missed the most important question.
	Scruncher or folder?
	I can't believe he didn't ask that.
	Unbelievable.
	That was the worst thing ever.
	And by the way, first of all, John King, no, never again.
	He grunts while people are answering, and his mic is on.
	Yeah, they have the mic funny, so he's always making...
	Yeah, okay.
	And I actually tweeted.
	Turn his mic off!
	It's annoying.
	Yeah, it's very amateurish, the whole thing.
	It was a beautiful set.
	The set must have cost a million dollars.
	You know, I really miss the whole, you know, like, they should have been walking down a lit staircase, they should have audio stingers, you know.
	They could really make it into American Idol.
	They could make it more like The Voice, have all their backs turned to the audience.
	That would have been more exciting.
	It was two hours.
	It was so boring.
	Play O'Reilly on Ron Paul's numbers.
	And by the way, last week I sent some clips that you didn't play, which re-emphasized the media, and I'm talking about the right-wingers mainly, because the left-wingers, they give Ron Paul a little bit of a break, but the right-wingers are just on his case.
	They hate him.
	And the snap poll last night, it was Romney 1, 51%, Bachman 21%, Pawlenty 9, Gingrich 7, Kane 4, Santorum 4, and I'll give you Ron Paul's number with John Stossel coming up.
	It's a pretty interesting number.
	A pretty interesting number, but I'm not going to give it to you.
	He gives it to a lady, but he has to do it in this John Stossel segment.
	Stossel's become the Fox News right, or not right wing, but the libertarian.
	Right, right, right.
	And so his number, what do you think his number was?
	Well, there were a whole bunch of different polls.
	CNN had a poll that put Ron Paul at like zero, but there was only 54 people queried in the poll.
	That's the same number that Fox gave him.
	Zero.
	Zero, yeah, but there was only 54 people in the poll.
	It's bullcrap.
	It's just to make the guy look like an idiot.
	Yeah, and he said some really good things.
	By the way, I know the congressman doesn't like these questions, Blackberry or iPhone.
	I think he was like, I think he, because I asked him, Folder or Scruncher?
	Remember in 2008, I interviewed him?
	You would do something like that.
	And he said, I don't think that's relevant.
	End of interview.
	Damn you, Ron Paul.
	You answered the Blackberry iPhone question.
	Do you like to squeeze a toothpaste tube in the middle?
	Yeah, this is how we get to know our candidates.
	Who cares?
	I don't care if a guy eats spicy wings or mild.
	He doesn't like hot peppery stuff.
	That doesn't mean a thing.
	What's the politics got to do with that?
	But how about this new guy?
	What's his name?
	Clarence Thomas?
	Clarence, the black guy?
	Yeah, what's his name?
	Cain?
	Is his name Cain?
	Yeah, Cain.
	Homer Cain.
	Homer Cain.
	So he's a former Federal Reserve guy, by the way.
	Did you know that?
	Oh, yeah.
	Cain, the guy who ran Godfather's Pizza?
	He's a Federal Reserve shill.
	No way.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
	What is his first name?
	It's not Homer.
	I just said that.
	I think we have to consult the Book of Knowledge on this one.
	Hold on a second.
	Consulting!
	Hold on.
	Yeah, I swear to God.
	Herman Cain, Federal Reserve Chairman.
	There you go.
	Oh, it's not this.
	No.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's a different guy.
	No, it's not.
	He's just a pizza guy?
	You're going to disappoint me now?
	He's a pizza guy.
	Come on.
	I think you're wrong.
	Herman.
	I got his wiki page.
	I got the book of knowledge open here.
	Let's do it again.
	Oh, shoot.
	Hold on.
	I love this.
	Consult the book of knowledge.
	Holy crap, you're right.
	No kidding.
	He's a former deputy chairman and chairman of the board of directors to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you very much.
	You can just toss your money into the cup.
	Before his business and economics career, he worked as a mathematician in ballistics for the United States Navy.
	Keynes newspaper columns, he's got a column, I can just imagine.
	And the guy actually says, I never would have repealed, don't ask, don't tell in the first place.
	Okay, you're not my candidate.
	As a bi-curious male, I was extremely insulted.
	Well, the guy's a blowhard.
	Every time I've seen him, he's yelling.
	He's a Fed shill.
	This is my whole point.
	Now I realize he's a Fed shill.
	You didn't know that, did you?
	No, I didn't.
	I've been tracking this guy.
	I'm a pizza guy.
	I'm just a pizza guy.
	No, you're not.
	No, you're not.
	You're a shill.
	I gotta say, though, Michelle Bachman is pleasant to look at.
	Knowing she's made up right and they light her right.
	They can also, if they don't give her highlights...
	It's horrible.
	No, it's horrible.
	Then she gets like...
	She's like the Seinfeld episode where the girl in the wrong light, she looks like, you know, horrible.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's beautiful.
	Like gap tooth.
	It's like really, really bad.
	And she is, I mean, she is the Botox queen, baby.
	She is really Botox.
	But yeah, interesting, she has 23 children she adopted.
	Well, no, they're foster kids.
	Right, foster kids.
	That mean they're living at the house?
	Yeah.
	That's almost like Eric the Shill's place.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	And I think that everyone proclaimed her the highlight of the debate.
	Yeah, well, she's a pretty face.
	She looked good.
	And she's sensible, even though everyone has her made out to be a complete nutcase, especially the left-wingers.
	She hasn't got a prayer running for president, but she could be a good vice-presidential candidate.
	What surprises me is that, particularly the left, is so...
	What's the word I'm looking for?
	Discriminatory towards beautiful women.
	Oh, they hate them.
	Yeah, I mean, Sarah Palin?
	Hater!
	No, this actually, it's visceral.
	They hate her.
	Yeah, and it's just like...
	Because she doesn't do the party line of what a woman should be like, independent.
	Right, you need a red jacket, pearls, big rocks, big rock necklace.
	Not a lot of makeup.
	Yeah, made of like blue rocks.
	Well, pull your hair back.
	Yeah, say things like sorté.
	And Montreal.
	And you have to have one of those, the jacket has to be like one of those knitted ones, like wool knitted things.
	You've got to have a big brooch.
	That's the Hillary look.
	That knitted jacket with big giant...
	With a big brooch.
	Where do you get thread that thing?
	With the all-seeing eye.
	And you know, Michelle Bachman, she's got like the high white collar of sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy.
	And Sarah Palin, I have to say, with the motorcycle...
	Explaining women, it's no good.
	I'm sorry?
	It's an exploitation of women.
	It's not right.
	Well, but they're doing it themselves.
	They're stooges for men.
	Evil men.
	Oh, really?
	I think they're just beautiful women who are smart.
	Oh, I think you've got it all wrong.
	Oh, really?
	I got it wrong?
	The blood is rushed away from my head?
	Is that it?
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	Yeah, you're probably right.
	Whatever the case is, she would be a good vice president, I think.
	But the thing is, they always want to balance the ticket.
	Let's balance the ticket.
	And when they balance the ticket, but they put her in, they think it might draw some more conservative voters.
	The conservative voters are going to come out in droves, no matter who they run.
	So they don't need to draw the conservative voter.
	And they're not going to get any women specifically to vote for Michelle Obama, especially because the women who are politically active are generally Democrats who would vote for a woman just because she's a woman, the way a lot of blacks vote for a black just because he's black.
	Yeah, which is not going to happen this time around, by the way.
	Oh, you know who I spoke to, John?
	They're going to lose some, but they're not going to lose all the blacks, that's for sure.
	I spoke to Maggie.
	Oh, I need to talk to her.
	Yeah, she wants to call you.
	So she beat cancer.
	Oh, good for her.
	She beat it, yeah, and she called me up.
	Well, she got out of the office.
	She called me up, and it was so lovely to speak with her.
	Maggie was executive assistant and basically mom around the office.
	She's a little, what is she, Maggie?
	She's like 60, I think.
	Something like that.
	A beautiful, beautiful black woman, just incredibly, just an awesome person.
	She can get very annoying, but kind of like any...
	She's an executive secretary type.
	Yeah, but she can get annoying, but that's kind of what her job description was.
	Not for me, but for other executives.
	Anyway, so I really miss her, and I called a couple times I hadn't heard, and I really feared the worst.
	It actually wasn't esophageal cancer, it was lung cancer, and they were able to cut away a piece of her lung, like a little, little teeny bit, and she's good, and she's cancer-free.
	But she's still loving Barack, man.
	Yeah.
	Oh yeah.
	Because that's what I used to argue with her all the time.
	And she's like...
	At first of all, she called me a Republican.
	I'm like, hey!
	Hey!
	Was that radiation gone to your head?
	You nuts?
	I'm not Republican or Democrat.
	Not for any of these stooges.
	And it's like, look at your guy.
	He's done nothing.
	And she's like, oh, you've got to get the brother man a chance.
	I'm like, Maggie, please, send me the forwards of your email.
	She's on the email list.
	The big list.
	You know, the one that, the black only list.
	And she's going to forward me some stuff.
	But anyway, side note, but I was really happy.
	She wants to talk to you too.
	She's going to call you.
	Good.
	I gave her your number.
	I guess she had lost it.
	Great executive assistant.
	Lost the number.
	So, we're still awaiting use of, well, I guess it's 107-40.
	The president will be entering Syria, whether we're going to do a no-fly zone or bombing or whatever.
	And the saber-rattling continues.
	The press secretary earlier this week sent out a statement.
	The Syrian government's offensive in northern Syria has created a humanitarian crisis.
	That's just before we get to catastrophe on the level.
	And then we get to outrage.
	The United States calls upon the Syrian government to stop this violence, give the International Committee for the Red Cross immediate, unfettered access to this region to care for the needs of wounded individuals, detainees, and internally displaced civilians.
	Syrian leaders have no excuse for denying humanitarian assistance by a neutral body like the International Red Cross.
	If Syria's leaders fail to provide this access, they will once again be showing contempt for the dignity of the Syrian people.
	We'll steal your money and bomb you.
	And so if that isn't proof enough for you, Angelina Jolie is going to be visiting Syrian refugees in Turkey.
	Why?
	Well, she's the United Nations Humanitarian Crisis Ambassador.
	It's her job.
	She's a celebrity ambassador.
	What's it going to accomplish?
	Answer some questions here.
	Answer the question.
	What's it going to accomplish?
	It's going to make you feel good about us bombing Syria.
	That's what she did with Libya.
	It's the same script.
	There's nothing new.
	By the way, I have a report here.
	Where was this report?
	Now, I'm not too sure about...
	This could be sketchy, but NORAM Intelligence, whatever that is, European and Middle Eastern intelligence sources report that U.S. military helicopters launched an extremely rare attack Sunday on Syrian territory close to Damascus.
	According to these intelligence sources, on the ground some of the helicopters landed and troops exited the aircraft and fired on buildings.
	Monday, the United States dispatched the amphibious assault ship, the USS Bataan, on the Syrian shore.
	Heavy military marine and air traffic also noted on the Adriatic and Black Sea for the past three days.
	Concentrations of such large marine and air forces next to Syria's borders show the United States is preparing for the possible invasion of Syria and subsequently Lebanon.
	Okay.
	Now this is stuff that gets sent to me, you know, like PGP encrypted stuff, so I don't know.
	Lebanon?
	Syria and Lebanon, yeah.
	Wasn't that on the list?
	I don't know, you still have the clip?
	We need to play that clip again.
	Yeah, of course I have it, but I wasn't...
	What I need to do is I need to set up a folder that's just open all the time when you call for stuff like that, but it's hard.
	It's the evergreen clips.
	Yeah, but I mean, what would we put in there?
	I mean, there's so much...
	No, that's not that, man.
	We got Obama talking about we're going to be out in days, not weeks.
	Yeah, I got that one.
	That's going to be good for the next five or six years.
	Well, we'll play that one for a second.
	It is U.S. policy that Gaddafi needs to go.
	But let me emphasize that we anticipate this.
	Transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks.
	There you go.
	So we got that one.
	That's a classic.
	That'll be good for the next...
	I'd give it four years, five years maybe.
	Really?
	You think that long?
	You think we're going to be bombing us?
	Bombing down for the next few years?
	Well, that's possible.
	Really?
	And then we have the clip when he says the first thing he's going to do is get us out of Gitmo.
	The first thing he does when he's president is he's going to get us out of Gitmo, first thing.
	And then the other thing was he's going to get us out of Iraq and you can take that to the bank and he hasn't done that either.
	And then we have General Wesley Clark.
	About ten days after 9-11, I went through the Pentagon, and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz.
	I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in.
	He said, sir, you've got to come in and talk to me a second.
	I said, well, you're too busy.
	He said, no, no.
	He says, we've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq.
	This was on or about the 20th of September.
	I said, we're going to war with Iraq.
	Why?
	He said, I don't know.
	He said, I guess they don't know what else to do.
	So I said, well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to Al-Qaeda?
	He said, no, no.
	He says, there's nothing new that way.
	They've just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.
	He said, I guess it's like, we don't know what to do about terrorists, but...
	We've got a good military and we can take down governments.
	And he said, I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.
	So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan.
	I said, are we still going to war with Iraq?
	And he said, oh, it's worse than that.
	He said, he reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper, and he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meaning the Secretary of Defense's office today, and he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
	There you go.
	Lebanon.
	You're right.
	It's in there.
	So that's the paper, so we know what's going to happen.
	Yes, and then Sudan and Somalia.
	Well, we know Sudan is coming.
	The Libya thing was not in that order.
	It came in earlier, and I think somebody jumped the gun.
	Yeah, someone dropped a line or something.
	Oh, crap.
	I can't believe you did it out of order, douche.
	You idiot.
	Yeah.
	Now we're going to have to do it all over again.
	Oh, jeez.
	Now we've got to go to the United Nations and get Rice on the phone with her pantsuit.
	Get her on the phone.
	That's the kind of woman they like, Susan Rice.
	Yeah, and Powers is the other one.
	Those big wide pants.
	You know, with the knitted thing and the brooch and her hair pulled back tight.
	Hillary doesn't have to have her hair pulled back tight because she's like leader of the pack.
	Yeah, she can do whatever she wants.
	Like a general in the army.
	They can design their own uniform.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Go ahead.
	So I was just going to say, yeah, so those are the countries lined up.
	And we have the Sudan thing taking place as we speak.
	But they just can't do this thing in a helter's case.
	Yemen stuck its nose into the situation, which screwed things up.
	So we don't know.
	Yemen's not on that list.
	And so we're trying to avoid discussing that.
	No, that's why it's not happening.
	We have a base there.
	I mean, we got drones flying around.
	And then they had that little skirmish that took place in Qatar, or Qatar.
	Qatar.
	That turns out, you know, they didn't want that to happen, so they brought the Saudi troops in to put the kibosh on that.
	And also Jordan's not mentioned, so that's not going to happen there either.
	Right.
	You can just take them off.
	Now, the thing is, we don't know what's been written since.
	That was information from 2002, 2003, whenever Wesley Clark told the story.
	I'm sure it's different today.
	Who knows what's on that list?
	Maybe.
	Maybe.
	But I don't see him taking anything off the list.
	No.
	It was an interesting report from...
	And this goes right into our techno-experts that Hillary Clinton has in the State Department.
	Let me just...
	Here it is.
	NATO. According to Wing Commander Mike Bracken, who's a spokesman for NATO... Any military campaign relies on something that we call fused information.
	This was a briefing.
	I don't have any audio, unfortunately.
	So we'll take information from every source we can.
	If we get information from a press conference in Rome, or we get information from somebody passing secondhand, we'll get information from open source on the internet.
	We'll get Twitter.
	You name any source of media, and our fusion center will deliver all of that into usable intelligence.
	So I think you and I just need to register some fake Twitter names, like Syrian Slave, and just hype it up.
	Well, here's what we have to do, and I'm going to ask the people, our listeners, to take part in this little plan.
	Producers.
	And listeners.
	We have people that don't help us.
	Most of them do.
	They might help us here.
	Okay.
	What's the idea?
	The idea is we're going to set up a bunch of fake accounts, just like you say.
	We'll have to carefully design them, carefully craft them.
	And then everybody that's listening to the show has to subscribe, become a follower.
	Oh, good idea.
	And then Andy Carvin will retweet me.
	So the number of followers at least matches some, you know, it's not like two, you know, I'm following Adam, he's following me.
	You'll know it's me when you see Tripoli Tea Girl.
	And so we'll figure out who these people are.
	We're going to put it on this.
	We'll mention what they are.
	People have to go follow us so we can have the numbers.
	Just for numbers.
	It's window dressing.
	It's theater.
	Yeah, just to get it up there.
	And then we can have some fun with it.
	Everything's all cool.
	Everything's great.
	Go away.
	No need.
	We're fine.
	At Tripoli Tea Girl.
	You'll know it's me.
	And then I can come out later and say, I was just pretending to be a transgendered person from Tripoli.
	Which brings me to a clip.
	Tell me, I don't want the theme, but this is kind of an Ask Adam thing.
	Play transphobia in schools.
	My name is Max Philp.
	I am the co-president of the Menlo Atherton Gay Straight Alliance Club.
	The organization fights homophobia and transphobia in schools by empowering youth.
	What is transphobia?
	Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
	You've got to do it properly if you want to do it at all.
	When Nancy Dvorak's got a burning question, what should we do?
	Ask Adam.
	Yes, it's time for Ask Adam, everybody.
	John, you have a burning question.
	So you got a 15-year-old.
	Now, are you telling me that there's trans...
	By the way, the word phobia, whether it's homophobia, transphobia, phobia means fear of.
	And I don't know that people are sitting around fearful.
	If somebody hates gays...
	They're not phobic.
	They hate gays.
	They're bigoted.
	There could be a better word.
	Yeah, the assholes.
	It's a pet peeve.
	Yeah.
	But transphobia.
	Now, are you telling me that there's transgender kids in high school?
	And if that's the case, who gave them the operation?
	Who's giving them the hormones?
	Is this like child abuse?
	I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
	Let me listen to the clip again, and I will answer your question.
	I do have the answer to this.
	My name is Max Philp.
	I am the co-president of the Menlo Atherton Gay Straight Alliance Club.
	The organization fights homophobia and transphobia in schools by empowering youth.
	Okay.
	Now, was this in California by any chance?
	Duh!
	Okay.
	I can answer this question, and we actually discussed this, because this month, John, as you know, is National Gay Lesbian Transgendered Month.
	As proclaimed by our president.
	Let me get the official title of it, actually.
	I have it here.
	I'm going to whitehouse.gov.
	Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.
	And it is the law in California, the law, that schools have to touch on this subject and teach kids about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenderism.
	And that's why this is being propagated, because it is a law in California, in the California educational system, maybe other states as well, that they have to teach that there are people who have other sexual preferences.
	Or not just sexual, lifestyle, whatever you want to call it.
	And that's why this is being propagated.
	Advertising.
	Sexual advertising.
	And that's why you caught this clip.
	Not because...
	That probably is not...
	Well, I'm sure there are kids who are confused in school and feel like they're in the wrong body.
	And they may later transgender partially or completely.
	I mean, that's completely possible.
	And it's not that I disagree with...
	I think everyone should...
	I think it's great that we can live in a society where these things are discussed and it's cool.
	But, you know, it's like, where does it end, of course, is the question.
	You know, we can have, like, we need a sensitivity, we need National Tourette Pride Month.
	For you.
	For me, yeah.
	So, you know, the guy who, like, screams expletives and twitches around, you know, it's a condition.
	I was on an airplane where a real full-blown cussing type Tourette's, which is not that common.
	No.
	And I hate to say this, but I think I can because you have...
	Because you thought it was funny.
	I'm sorry for feeling that way.
	You just want to go up to the guy like...
	I know.
	I know.
	But we do recognize each other, you know?
	So the guy...
	I bet you do.
	We do, and we're like, hey, how you doing?
	So the guy comes on the plane cussing like a just, you know, with that crazy...
	Just cussing like crazy, and they threw him off the plane, of course.
	They threw him off the plane because of that?
	Yeah, I thought it was bad that they threw him off the plane.
	So what?
	Incredibly bad.
	Everyone understands that he's got Tourette's.
	I'm outraged.
	I was outraged.
	Wait a minute.
	I thought it was terrible.
	He seemed like a nice guy, except for all the cussing.
	Yeah, but that's funny.
	There must be a Tourette society.
	Oh, there's got to be, yeah.
	Society.
	Let's see what the...
	What's interesting about your resume is that a lot of them are neat freaks.
	Yeah, that's not me.
	I don't have that...
	I don't know that you're not a neat freak.
	No, I'm not a neat freak.
	CDC features Tourette's Syndrome on its website to mark, oh, Tourette's Syndrome Awareness Month!
	Well, here you go!
	There you have it!
	Hold on, when is it?
	When's Tourette's Syndrome Awareness Month?
	When is it?
	How come I don't see it?
	Uh...
	Hmm.
	It's a very confusing page.
	Makes me want to curse.
	Tourette's syndrome is a condition that affects the nervous system, causing people to have movements and vocalizations that they cannot control.
	Learn more about TS. Ooh, now it's TS. And CDC's work to better understand it.
	Wow.
	It doesn't say when National Tourette's Syndrome Month is, though.
	Maybe I missed it.
	Yeah, you probably did.
	Crap.
	They could have put me on the email list.
	That would have been nice.
	I want to read this letter from Gordon Federer.
	I don't know.
	I never could pronounce it.
	Anyway, he just went through the TSA pat-down.
	Didn't think it was a big deal, but I do want to read his note.
	While waiting, the guy, he went for the pat-down.
	He says, while waiting for the guy to come over to pat him down, he asked if they were wearing dosimeters yet.
	He shook his head, quote, the TSA guy says this, no, I know people in the industry who won't go within 10 feet of that thing.
	They say it's like a cell phone radiation, but I don't believe it.
	Yeah.
	And so he's noticing, which is essentially the exact same wording.
	He's wondering if their TSA union pro-union guys, they have their own talking points.
	They don't have a union.
	They don't have a union.
	I know, but there's guys that want to form one.
	Right.
	And that would be a talking point.
	And by the way, we did send out a talking points memo some months back on this...
	And I hope people out there read their email and picked up on that and used the points we make in there about what to do when you get to the scanner.
	The FBI has issued a terror warning approved by the Director of Intelligence Section Chief Counterterrorism Analysis Section.
	This is SACs.
	I'm not sure what SACs are.
	Anyway, the FBI Intelligence Bulletin has been approved for you to share with state, local, and tribal partners.
	So I guess I qualify.
	This is from the 8th of June.
	Do you qualify?
	I'm a tribal partner.
	And what?
	Yeah, the Tourette tribe.
	TT. Never heard of him?
	No.
	We have our own month, you know.
	8th of June, 2011.
	Jihadist web forums list heads of government, industry, and media as targets.
	Hey!
	This FBI intelligence bulletin is intended to provide information, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Targeting of public figures in response to the June 3, 2011 video featuring U.S. person and senior AQ media propagandist Adam Gadon.
	Was an American.
	In which he encourages acts of individual jihad.
	Members of several extremist web forums posted names of companies and its leaders to target.
	Oh yeah?
	Yeah.
	Who's targeted?
	Did you find it?
	Did you find the website?
	Of course not.
	No, of course not.
	They don't link to it or anything.
	It's bullcrap then.
	Well, it's not really because then later we can say, well, we warned them.
	So I would hate to be a media leader.
	What's a media leader?
	I don't even know what that means.
	Rupert Murdoch.
	How about Don Lemon?
	Don Lemon could be a media leader.
	No, he's not.
	It would make a good...
	O'Reilly.
	O'Reilly's coming closer.
	Those guys are always...
	They have bodyguards, I believe.
	What a life.
	So a couple of things I found which are rather interesting.
	I think I figured out this don't go to college meme.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and it stems from, unbelievable, Jeffrey Immelt wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
	Jeffrey Immelt is not only the chairman and CEO of General Electric, who make all that wonderful stuff we throw on people's heads in the desert, if they're brown, and kill you with it, but he also chairs the President's Economic Jobs Council.
	And he says, you know, we have to train workers for today's open jobs.
	There are more than 2 million open jobs in the United States.
	Did you know this, John?
	15 million unemployed, yet for some reason there's 2 million open jobs.
	And this is because, according to Jeffrey Immelt, because in part employers can't find workers with the advanced manufacturing skills they need.
	The private sector must quickly form partnerships with community colleges, vocational schools, and we don't have vocational schools anymore, and others to match career training with real-world hiring needs.
	Now, this is why, because the president, you know, he just does whatever corporations tell him to do.
	So, Immelt went to Obama and said, or probably to, what's that woman's name?
	The Iranian?
	His handler?
	What?
	It's your buddy.
	I hate her.
	You should know her name right at the top of your head.
	I know.
	Valerie Jarrett.
	Valerie Jarrett.
	Thank you.
	My Tourette froze my brain.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	That's what it is.
	And said, you know, I need workers.
	So let's give all our community college people a badge, a certification, a badge, so they can go work in the factories.
	And he's outproped.
	Propagating the message.
	Encouraging private sector hiring.
	This just after the New York Times just passed this past Friday reported that since the recovery began, businesses have spent just 2% more on hiring people while at the same time spending 26% more on equipment.
	So why at a time when corporate America is enjoying record profit?
	This by the way is Ann Curry in the same hot outfit sitting down with the president interviewing him.
	Have you been unable to convince businesses to hire more people, Mr.
	President?
	I don't think it's a matter of me being unable to convince them to hire more people.
	They're making decisions based on what they think will be good for their companies.
	A couple of things have happened.
	Look, we went through the worst crisis since the Great Depression.
	We are now in a process where the economy is growing again, and we've created 2 million jobs over the last 15 months.
	But it's not as fast as it needs to be to make up for all the jobs that were lost.
	The other thing that happened though, and this goes to the point you're just making, is there are some structural issues with our economy where a lot of businesses have learned to become much more efficient with a lot fewer workers.
	You see it when you go to a bank and you use an ATM. You don't go to a bank teller.
	Or you go to the airport and you're using a kiosk instead of checking in at the gate.
	All these things have created changes.
	Yeah.
	So you don't have a job because of the ATMs, apparently.
	Yeah, this has been all over.
	They're right-wing guys.
	Oh, really?
	They're doing that?
	And they're pounding it.
	It's idiotic.
	The guy, if he's going to bitch about something, why does he complain about the fact that they're charging you fees when these things were put in to save money and save the bank money and they should be giving you money to be using them?
	They don't do that.
	By the way, let me just get one more thing.
	He says 2 million jobs in 15 months.
	The necessary replacement rate on the job market, in other words, people entering the job market on a month-to-month basis is 150,000 to 160,000.
	Which means you need that many jobs just to go to zero.
	If you multiply 15 months times 160,000, which is just a replacement, not a replacement, but just to pick up the slack, it turns out to be a wash.
	There's no increase in jobs.
	It's bullcrap.
	Yes.
	And this is why another executive order was put out this week.
	Establishment of SelectUSA initiative, and this is where, and there's going to be a lot of money available for this.
	Business investment in the United States by both domestic and foreign firms, whether in the form of new equipment or facilities or the expansion of, this is totally for GE, by the way, this whole executive order.
	Expansion of existing facilities, a major engine of economic growth and job creation.
	In other words, we need more factory workers.
	As a place to do business, the United States offers a hard-working, diverse, and educated workforce.
	Strong protection of intellectual property rights.
	Right.
	That's right.
	Send you to jail.
	Relatively low taxes.
	Highly developed infrastructure.
	Access to the world's most lucrative consumer market.
	Invest now.
	We'll help you.
	We'll pay for it.
	You watch GE. You watch them.
	They're getting money.
	Yeah, that's what they have to do because the company is almost, you know, take a look at their books.
	It's like it's a wash.
	And by the way, they're slipping in the copyright thing and some of these other things.
	Nasty.
	Whatever you do, illegal.
	It's a classic.
	Things have gotten so bad, you can't not do something that's illegal.
	I mean, you're basically, it's like Russia in the 50s and 60s where you're just basically breaking the law at any time they can go after you.
	Play the wanted clip.
	Oh, you caught me off guard, man.
	You mean wanted for DL? Time for quick hits.
	Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt is wanted by Nashville police for allegedly making inaccurate statements on his driver's license applications.
	Hey!
	You don't have brown eyes.
	What's the exact...
	Did he lie about his height?
	I have no idea.
	What is on a driver's license application that you could make an inaccurate statement?
	Yeah.
	What's on there that would be inaccurate?
	Is he a...
	Is he a basketball player?
	Is he a basketball player?
	Yeah.
	He lied about his height.
	Or wait.
	Yeah, one of the two.
	I think I might have the clip of the day, though.
	This I picked up from, this is the president, I'm sorry, for some reason I got a lot of president clips.
	There was a forum about jobs, of course.
	And I don't think anyone really caught this.
	It's pretty amazing.
	Now, the president pushed through a stimulus package of some seven, almost $800 billion.
	And it looks like it hasn't worked very well.
	And what was this money going to go for again, John?
	What was that again?
	It was for shovel-ready projects.
	Wasn't that it?
	Oh, shovel-ready.
	That term's been lost.
	I'm sure that when you implemented the Recovery Act, your staff briefed you on many of the challenges of the permitting process and the impact on putting Americans back to work.
	And that's exactly what we see in American businesses.
	Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected.
	Ha, ha, ha.
	Very funny.
	Ha, ha.
	That's a laugh, Ryan.
	Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	Not as funny.
	Shovel-ready wasn't quite as shovel-ready as we expected.
	Ha, ha, ha.
	So I've got a clip that gives you the cue to look on something that I think is like getting so out of control.
	And it was just like to bring the world's economy down and collapse a country.
	And we've been talking about it for months on end that yesterday Brian Williams on NBC had to finally report on the situation in Greece.
	What's happening in Greece right now is very important for Americans to know about because of how we could feel it here, among other things.
	Today, a simmering crisis there blew sky high as protests in the streets turned violent.
	The government teetered on the edge of collapse.
	The problem is that nation's massive national debt.
	And what happens in just the coming days there could have a major impact on financial systems around the world, including the U.S.
	Our report tonight from NBC's Tom Costello.
	Bye everybody!
	Whistle!
	It's one of the biggest threats to the global economy now playing out in the streets of Africa.
	So I'm glad you brought that up.
	By the way, I just want to make mention of his comments.
	He says, because Americans can feel it here, among other things, he says nothing.
	No, of course not.
	But they showed the reporter.
	I bet they didn't show the throngs of crowds.
	No, they did, and they actually showed a couple of firebombs, even though they didn't mention it.
	Oh, really?
	So they really can't get around it anymore, huh?
	Yeah, that's what I think.
	It's like, okay, we're going to have to do this story.
	Yeah.
	Well, I was watching C&B and the co-founder of PIMCO. Those are the guys who do all the bonds, right?
	PIMCO is a big money manager.
	Don't they do bonds?
	They buy bonds, sell bonds, stocks and bonds.
	Hey, you want to get rich?
	Hey, you buy stocks and bonds and want to leave your wife crazy rich?
	He said something very interesting about this situation.
	You just heard the NBC report that they have a terrible, terrible deficit.
	Well, the guy who actually understands this stuff reported to the financial community on it.
	Becky, this country has a present value deficit.
	Deficit debt level, put it that way, a debt level of nearly $100 trillion, and that includes Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and other obligations, and to think that we can reduce that within the space of a year or two is not a realistic assumption.
	To compare the $100 trillion, if in fact that's the right number, to our GDP at around $15 trillion, that's a six times number, that's Much more than Greece, and it's much more than almost any other developed country.
	We have a problem, and we've got to get after it very quickly.
	Yeah, so get your whistle and your Molotov cocktails, because we're heading that way, baby.
	Hunt is six times worse than Greece.
	We have a huge debt.
	But we have the Kardashians, so, you know, it's not a problem.
	By the way, according to Buzzkill Jr., the TSA union vote will be counted on June 23rd.
	Yeah, and I can assure you that it's going to vote for a union unless they don't know how they're going to get around it.
	No collective bargaining though.
	They'll have a union with no collective bargaining because they don't want to have the price rolled out of control.
	They don't want to have these guys actually ask for those dosimeters.
	I don't think so either.
	I think there's probably a lot of radiation coming off of those things.
	Yeah.
	Meanwhile, stuff to look out for is the nuclear reactor in Missouri.
	I think there's something going on that they're not telling us.
	We've got flooding.
	We've got the river is about to exceed its banks.
	This thing was temporarily, like they had an electrical fire and it started to heat up a little bit for about an hour and a half.
	There may be some form of a false flag planned here.
	It's not really for the Red Book, but it's something I think we need to look out for.
	I put it in the Red Book already.
	You did?
	Sorry.
	And then vaccines.
	Vaccines are heating up again.
	As you know, we are tracking this, been tracking it for a number of years since so many pharmaceuticals are going out of patent, although they're desperately trying to fix that in Congress so they can get another thousand years of patents on all of this crap.
	Vaccinations are great because it's giving stuff to people who aren't sick yet.
	Just a quick rundown.
	Oh, actually, I have a clip from Bill Gates.
	Bill Gates, big vaccine guy.
	You know what he thinks about vaccines?
	They're great.
	Well, vaccines are magic.
	There you go.
	They're magic.
	They're just magic.
	So the big scandal, of course, is that there's all this money that we paid for.
	That is going towards vaccination programs for poor kids in like Rwanda.
	Yeah, Rwanda's a big one.
	So now Merck is, you know, they're selling it for less.
	It's under the price for like $8 a shot.
	Of course, we have to get all this Gardasil off the books because people aren't buying it.
	I think in part thanks to shows like ours.
	You know, the ones that take $50 donations, according to CNN. So they get these big government programs.
	It's like, here, go inoculate a million kids in Rwanda.
	Here's eight million bucks.
	And that's just for the stuff.
	And then there's another ten million for going there and paying for your trip and your caviar and all that.
	It's really insulting.
	Then we have a nasal spray vaccine coming up, which will stop children developing diabetes.
	Diabetes is a disease vector?
	It's a virus, yeah.
	Bacteria?
	What is it?
	I didn't know that.
	This is new.
	Yeah, vaccine.
	Insulin nasal spray.
	Insulin?
	Just shooting insulin up your nose is not a vaccine.
	Yeah.
	They're calling it a vaccine.
	Everything's a vaccine.
	Hey, baby, come here.
	I got a vaccine for you.
	I guess our show's a vaccine then.
	In a way it is.
	Then we have the rotavirus vaccine.
	And this one, this is from, we have one of our producers, if you have not seen it yet, noagendanewsnetwork.com is really good.
	We have over 120 producers now getting stories from all over Gitmo Nation.
	If you want to join, just send me, please don't send me stories with N-A-N-N, like here, you can post it.
	No, no, you have to post it.
	I will gladly set you up with an account.
	People doing that to you?
	They don't get it.
	Some people just don't get it.
	Like, oh, I heard something about News Network.
	Here, post this on it.
	They send me 20 stories.
	No, no, no.
	The point is, you can post it for all to share, and then you can help out.
	This is distributing the workload.
	One of our producers is in Vietnam.
	A seven-year-old girl from Pre Vang province died on Tuesday.
	This is the 14th victim of bird flu.
	Oh, we've got the bird sleuthing cranking up again.
	So, yeah, it is cranking up.
	They're working on it.
	He had another interesting story from just under the category of elites.
	Might as well mention that.
	I like it when I get stuff from Vietnam.
	How often do you get news from Vietnam from someone who's actually on the ground and lives there?
	Yeah.
	That's pretty cool.
	I like it.
	A French national expat...
	Who I believe is in government there, admitted to producing child pornography at his trial in Phnom Phen yesterday.
	The reason?
	He needed to earn money to help buy medicine for his sick girlfriend.
	Jeez!
	Nice!
	That is so wrong on so many levels.
	Yeah, it's multidimensionally wrong.
	It's really, really bad.
	And the news, of course, just came in as expected.
	Anthony Weiner has resigned as congressman.
	Yeah, I'm glad he did during our show.
	So I do have one last thing, which is I sent you a link.
	To a Skype webpage that I want you to post on the links.
	And then click on that and tell me the woman in the picture.
	Oh, here.
	Is this it?
	Okay.
	I said OMG. Tell me the woman is not going to eat a kitten.
	Hold on.
	Because I have Skype on the PC, I click on the link and it gives me a nice little thing that's spinning around.
	It's a picture on a Skype advertisement.
	I swear to God, it's a woman about to eat a kitten.
	Am I not right?
	Yeah.
	It says, do more with Skype.
	Eat a kitten.
	And they show this woman she's going to take a big bite out of this poor little kitten.
	Hey, hey, stop eating kittens.
	Listen to this show, ladies and gentlemen, or I will eat a kitten.
	Oh, that's horrible.
	She is about to take a bite right out of his back, and the kitten's like...
	Not happy.
	She's got like three video windows.
	Yeah, she's showing off the fact that she's a ghoul.
	She's showing a white...
	A very pasty white-looking girl with a braid, like a 12-year-old, and then a black guy.
	And then she's eating a kitten.
	And this is supposed to make you wonder, this is Microsoft at work.
	And now you see all the pictures on the wall?
	In the background?
	That's all of kitten-eating people.
	That's her wall of kitten eaters.
	Anyway, you'll see that people can see that on the...
	Someone actually paid to stage this picture.
	Is this already Microsoft, do you think?
	Is this already...
	I don't know, but I think maybe they're starting to...
	I think they're starting to sabotage the place.
	I don't want to be a part of...
	I really don't want to be a part of the kitten eating cult.
	That's not right.
	And before we finally roll out, which we're doing right now, I want to thank all our artists.
	Yes.
	Yeah, we highly appreciate that.
	On and off again...
	We need you out.
	It's like a weekly competition amongst the guys that do which one we pick.
	And we want to thank everybody for taking part because our artists don't really get enough credit.
	The art for our show is probably the best on all the internet broadcasts out there.
	And time and time again, it proves when we have good art, donations go up.
	We have proof of that.
	Yeah, it's true.
	It's a fact.
	Yeah, it's a fact.
	Fact!
	The fact of the matter is.
	All right, we will be here again on Sunday.
	We'll be watching C-SPAN, reading documents for you, doing everything we can to keep you informed because God knows the real news doesn't give it to you.
	No Mr.
	Oil because he's taking a break from the show for a little bit.
	But I do appreciate everyone on the stream who showed up.
	And we appreciate Mr.
	Oil for all of his servers and work like that.
	Coming from Get My Nation West, People's Republic of Southern California, I am the Terminally Tourette Syndromed Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, without further ado, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	And remember,
	313.nashownotes.com. 313.nashownotes.com. 313.nashownotes.com. 313.nashownotes.com.
	313.nashownotes.com.
	313.nashownotes.com.
	You can take that to the bank.
