Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Sunday, June 19, 2011.
Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 314.
This is no agenda.
Deconstructing the media with non-kinetic force.
Here at the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's nice and sunny, and gosh, God knows what else is going to happen today.
I'm John C. Borac.
Crackpot and Buzzkill!
In the morning!
Well...
Why would you forward me a message that would end up in my spam box?
Ha ha ha!
That's where you put all my emails, apparently.
No.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It was a forward from my database system, but it's still adamatkurry.com.
Yeah.
Maybe I'm going to whitelist you for sure, just in case.
That would be nice.
That's just the thought.
Well, it never happened before.
So, happy Father's Day and in the morning to you, John.
And happyfatherhood.gov.
Yeah, I know.
Wait a minute.
Are you weaseling in on my turf?
Are you now watching WhiteHouse.gov as well?
This is no good.
Stop doing that.
No, I didn't.
I watched it on C-SPAN. They had Obama came on with his Father's Day greeting, and then that was followed by a Republican guy.
Because they don't do that on WhiteHouse.gov.
The Republican guy comes out and he starts to promote Cargill.
No, really?
It's got nothing to do with Father's Day, no greeting, nothing.
Cargill?
Basically, he's a guy from North Dakota, he's a representative, and he comes on so they can balance their coverage.
Obama comes out with this Father's Day greeting, and by the way, he also sent an email out to everyone on his mailing list.
I did not get the memo.
Oh, well, I got to.
It must be from a different mailing list because I signed up for something once and I don't get many messages from him, but I got to follow it.
Maybe it's all in your spam box.
It's a possibility.
It's where it belongs.
Hold on.
Hot pockets for you there.
So, anyway, the Republican comes on and I expect him, I don't know what he's going to do, rebut the Father's Day greeting.
I disagree.
Father's Day is not a good idea.
But he comes out, apparently never heard what Obama had to say, and he dry labs it, and goes on and on about how we need to export more beef to Korea, and we need to open up international trading, and he goes on and on.
I said, what is this guy?
I noticed he's from North Dakota.
He's obviously a Cargill stooge.
They're the ones who are pushing out.
Yeah, happy Father's Day, everybody, and cardio.
And, by the way, in the morning to all of the human resources, all charged up and ready the way the government loves them, in the chat room at knowgenastream.com, knowgenachat.net, and, of course, to the feet on the, boots on the ground, the foots in the air, in the oceans, and bakers in the ovens, and all that stuff, and fathers everywhere.
Yeah, that fatherhood.gov is like, you gotta take, did you take the pledge on the page?
Do you have to take the fatherhood pledge?
I was more intrigued by the video of how cool it is to have your daughter give you a manicure.
I didn't see that one.
Where is this guy sitting in the class?
Wait a minute.
Jake, you come in here and give me a manicure.
Get in and give me a manicure.
Wait a minute.
Let me see this.
I didn't see a video about giving your father a manicure.
Yeah.
No.
Do you have a clip of it?
I didn't clip it, but I can go to the site.
Well, I'm going to the site right now.
This has to be seen to be believed, everybody.
Let me see.
Where is it?
It just seems a little odd, if you ask me.
But it's not on the homepage, is it?
It's just linked to one of the things you can do with dad or something like that.
Oh, tips and activities?
Maybe.
So did you get any cards or gifts?
Everybody's still in bed.
Ha, ha, ha.
The girls took me out last night, which was really sweet.
They had a whole surprise thing, everything all set up.
It was really cool.
Here's another one.
This was over the top video.
Number three has got some guy doing cheerleading with his daughter.
I mean, this is something pretty fishy.
What about the boys?
It's all about the girls.
Well, of course, because the president has two girls, Shaniqua and Talisha.
It's all about him.
I don't see it, though.
I don't see the...
I'll find it.
I can find it.
Oh, manicure, 30 seconds.
There you go.
Okay.
There you have it.
Let me just see.
Attention, human resource.
Attention, human resource.
This is what you can do with me.
This is really cool.
Daddy's got a tattoo.
A big tattoo.
Daddy goes to the Eagle Bar in San Francisco.
Oh my gosh.
And his daughter's...
He's blowing on his nail polish while she's painting his nail.
It's going to have the biggest impact on a child's life.
Take time to be a dad today.
Wow.
Brought to you by the Ad Council.
Pussification of the Nation.
Wow, that's pretty interesting.
Yeah, I don't know.
You can do fun things with your daughter, but is that the number one thing you've got to put on your site?
Like, have your daughter give you...
It's not a manicure.
She's painting his nails red.
No, I didn't watch the video.
That's the 32nd.
You didn't even watch the video?
I was too busy reading the New York Times for today's session.
No, she's painting...
So Daddy has an arm, a fully tattooed arm.
With red fingernails?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And she's in a little princess outfit.
I mean, it's cute.
There's no doubt about it.
It's cute.
But, you know, it's like, okay.
There's other things you can do.
You can take an interest in what your daughter's doing.
Yeah, help her do an oil painting or something.
Yeah, a drawing.
Drawing, yeah.
Or reading together.
There's all kinds of stuff you could do.
Yeah, besides having her paint your fingernails red.
Yeah.
Oh my goodness.
Well, there you go.
So, um...
It says it all.
Yeah, it really does.
Hey, Russia Today is really trying, John.
Oh, they have a new spokeshole?
No, no, no.
Of course, we continue to try to advise them to get a hot blonde newswoman, like Fox has, whose name is Natasha, has a little bit of a sexy Russian accent, so you're not quite sure if she's a spy or not.
So they keep going with these English birds.
And by the way, we're just talking like television producers now, not as douchebag guys, but this is how they talk in television.
Yeah, that's what they do.
Yeah, so that's just what it is.
And that's what you do.
Actually, they're much crueler than we actually are holding.
Oh, we're really holding back.
So they throw this girl, who is very cute.
She's British.
She's got a nice little skirt on.
And they throw her in the middle of the riots in Greece.
They have her doing a stand-up?
Yeah, in the middle of the riots in Greece.
And what's funny is, the mic-ing is horrible because she's trying to lead the cameraman into the riot.
And she starts, but the protesters are having none of it, and they keep blocking the cameraman and pushing him around, so she has to keep starting it over again.
First, a little insight into how these stand-ups work, because she keeps starting the segment, like three or four restarts here.
The clashes between the police and the protest is still going on.
You can see just up here we're on the front line.
You can see the clashes between the police and the protest is still going on.
You can see just up here you've got the police...
She's walking away.
Now wait, wait for it.
Now she jumps into the middle of it all.
No, wait.
Oh, here we go.
I want to film now.
Film it.
Are you still filming?
Are you still filming?
And now she jumps into the middle.
Okay.
We're on the main street right now.
It's very hard to film because even the protesters who are here don't want us to see this.
To show you just what's happening on the streets right now.
We've got the fires burning.
We've got the tear gas up here.
So what happens is...
Hold on a second.
Her premise is that they don't want them to see it?
That's bullcrap.
Of course it's bullcrap.
This is why it's so beautiful.
This whole video, by the way, is linked in the show notes, 314.nashownotes.com.
So she goes to stand in the middle of the tear gas.
Guess what happens next?
We're still firing out of the protesters.
Now they're saying at the moment a large number of these people are actually provoking the police.
You can see them.
Ah, they're provoking the police.
Okay.
They're in the black uniforms and they're the ones to be trying to stop and filming.
And the tear gas is literally going off right now as we speak.
And now she's running into the tear gas, John.
This is how dumb she is.
As we speak, the protesters...
She drops her bag and runs into the tear gas.
Very hard to breathe here.
A lot of these people who are provoking it don't even want us to be filming here, so we can't do too much.
And then guess what happens next?
It's like 30 seconds of her hawking her guts up.
And she's like crying.
She's like, oh my god, what did I do?
And there are guys coming over and she's a hot girl on her knees almost puking.
And all these guys are like, here, drink this!
Drink this!
Oh, drink this!
Hold on to this!
Drink this!
It's like, wow.
It's just crazy.
So to follow this up, there's this discussion on the BBC. And it's a woman, another British woman from Russia today, in discussion, in debate with a journalist from the Times.
And it's about Libya.
What times?
The Times of London.
Okay.
Yeah.
And it's about Libya.
And so here's Russia today, who I think are pretty much on, because, you know, of course, Russia is like, Syria's next, where we've got a naval base.
So I think they're pretty much on par with telling a lot of the truth of what's happening and why it's happening in Libya.
And the Times guys have a none of that.
You know, it's like, no, you know, Gaddafi's evil, horrible guy, rape, whatever.
And listen to this exchange.
Oliver, is it not justified to see a concern that NATO is slipping into another Iraq, another Afghanistan?
No, quite the opposite.
NATO is responding to a genocidal campaign by an illegitimate government against a captive population.
I'm slightly perplexed that Mr Emmett, whose station is not a normal news-gathering organisation like the BBC... Or CNN or even Al Jazeera, but a state propaganda channel, provide such a tendentious misreading of NATO's intention, which is to carry out, discharge the obligations that the UN Security Council requires of it.
I'm sorry.
I'll just give you a chance to respond to that.
Yeah, I can't allow him to say that we're a state propaganda channel.
We are funded through the State Duma, much as the BBC is.
Okay, that's preposterous.
Well, we take a different line on the news from other channels do, and in this case, on Libya, we are doing the same.
9-11, Ms.
Amos.
Okay.
You mean to new conspiracy theorists of the most preposterous and pernicious character.
I'm sure this discussion can carry on out.
So she hit him back.
Preposterous.
He said it twice, by the way.
Yeah.
She said, well, look, we're funded by the Russian state just like the BBC is funded by the British state.
So who are you calling propagandists?
That's preposterous.
Preposterous, I know.
Preposterous.
It's like, even Al Jazeera is better.
It's like, what?
Crazy guys.
You nutty people.
You nutty, nutty people.
Mickey was so cool this morning.
He says, I have to turn off the television.
I need to listen to some No Agenda.
I can't handle it anymore.
I just repeat the same thing over and over and over again.
That's right.
We are programming your mind.
Programming your mind.
Yeah.
So I got really angry, though.
I got really, like, super upset.
I think it was, I believe it was actually after Thursday's show.
And this is something that they've been trying to get...
So, let me actually...
You know what?
I'm going to do it this way.
I'm going to take you back in history first.
This is actually quite important.
Let me just find my...
I had this whole thing, sequence of clips.
Okay.
So, I want to take you back in time.
Some of you may not have even been born when this took place.
This is...
regarding the reason for going into Iraq, Gulf War I.
And we've discussed it on the show, how this worked and how Helen Knowlton was involved and what was said and what was used for the American public to outrage them to justify going in, which, of course, was a private war for Daddy Bush.
Luckily, the CBC, our Canadian broadcasting compadres, have put together a nice little piece that explains it precisely the way it happened.
Iraq attacks Kuwait, claiming the Kuwaitis are slant drilling into Iraq's oil fields.
U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush pushes for a land war against Iraq, but polls show the U.S. public is split 50-50 on that idea.
Then comes this eyewitness testimony before a congressional committee.
From a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl.
The claim is she cannot be identified for fear of reprisals.
While I was there, I saw the Iraqi soldiers coming to the hospital with guns.
They took the babies out of the incubators.
Took the incubators and left the children to die on the cold floor.
The U.S. public is outraged.
The result?
Support for land war zooms.
It's a turning point.
Desert Storm is launched.
135,000 Iraqis are killed.
An estimated 1 million Iraqis, many of them children and old people, then die as a result of 10 years of sanctions.
One small problem.
There never were any incubator baby deaths.
Not one.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's investigative flagship program, The Fifth Estate, reveals the girl to be the Kuwaiti ambassador's daughter, given her lines and coached in acting by the giant American PR firm Hill& Knowlton.
It's one phase in a $10 million joint U.S.-Kuwaiti campaign of deception.
This man is lying.
I myself buried 14 newborn babies that had been taken from their incubators.
This man is lying.
They had kids in incubators and they were thrown out of the incubators so Kuwait could be systematically dismantled.
Alright, so I think we understand essentially what's going on.
This is now historical fact.
It was not true.
Right.
But it was used.
It was uncovered.
I think it took about five years and they finally blew the lid off.
And nobody cared at that point.
Nobody, of course not.
Why should we care?
I mean, you know, nobody to this day, I mean, the fact that the entire Vietnam War was based on the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which never happened.
Yeah, false flag.
So, we've been tracking Lucifer Clinton and the douchebag at the International Criminal Court, and everyone's saying, well, you know, they're raping women, they're bringing out Viagra to use their penises as weapons of war.
You think they could come up with something a little better than that?
Well, they've stepped it up one more notch.
And now I'm getting angry.
I mean, I'm really mad, because...
Rape, of course, is an unconscionable, horrible thing, but to use rape disingenuously, and I assert fakely, falsely, is an nth degree egregious when it comes to mind control.
So CNN has this report, and I've done quite a bit of deconstruction on the reporter, and I just want to go back and tell you that when we read the resolutions that essentially set NATO up for us to go in and shoot hellfires and drone people in Libya— They said,
you know, we have to send the Human Rights Commission, the United Nations Human Rights Committee, to go and check it all out, and when they come back, then we'll decide on what action to take.
And, of course, three days later, we went ahead and created the, quote, no-fly zone and started bombing.
But the report did come in, and we read pieces of it on a previous episode.
By the way, you can barely find the report now, of course, conveniently.
It's not linked anywhere on their website.
Of course, I had a copy, which I saved.
They have an extract, which is two pages, but the full report is a multiple of that.
So I just want to reiterate one little paragraph.
The commission received but was unable to verify individual accounts of rape.
It notes, however, that sufficient information was received to justify further investigation to ascertain the extent of sexual violence, including whether cases were linked to incitement by command of either side.
It is evident that reports of rape have had major psychological and social impact and have spread fear among the population, which, of course, is what it's intended to do.
The ongoing conflict is having a significant negative impact on the rights of children, blah blah blah.
With regard to allegations concerning the conduct of hostilities by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Commission is not in a position at this stage to assess the veracity of the information received concerning indiscriminate attacks on civilians.
The Commission has not, however, seen Evidence to suggest that civilians or civilian objects have been harmed.
So, if you read the report, they spoke to one woman who claims to have been raped, one, only one, who claimed to have been raped and showed a bruise, and she was the one that was on CNN and all the news media, which they also referenced in the report.
So there is no evidence of this.
Yet, they continue, and we had the clip of the ICC, the International Criminal Court douche, Saying, oh yeah, using Viagra, it's a weapon of war.
It's a weapon of war.
They're using this as a weapon of war.
And then CNN does this.
On the front lines of Libya's war, rebel...
And I have to point out, for women who are listening, and men as well, this is very disturbing.
It's really, really disturbing.
So either, you know, just be prepared for what you're about to hear, or I would suggest just think of it as a fake drama.
It is, I don't believe it's real.
Fighters say they are finding a lot more than weapons on captured or killed pro-Godopi soldiers.
Ah!
They say they have confiscated cell phones that contain videos showing Gaddafi loyalists torturing and raping Libyan citizens.
After weeks of hearing of these cell phone rape videos, we for the first time have a copy of one.
This was given to us by a source who does not want to be identified for fear of being punished by this very conservative society.
To be clear, we have been unable to verify its authenticity.
We don't know where it was taken or when or by whom.
All we can do is watch it and listen to it.
Ah!
In this video provided to CNN from what rebels say was the cell phone of a Gaddafi loyalist, two men in civilian clothes stand over a naked woman who is bent over with her face on the floor.
The man standing behind her is sodomizing her with what appears to be a broomstick.
I can't bear it, I can't bear it, she says.
A male voice off camera says, let's push it farther.
No, no, that's enough, the woman begs.
One of the men puts his sock-covered foot on her face.
In this culture, it is considered the ultimate insult.
But in this case, it pales in comparison to what the victim is already enduring.
We blurred this video because it's extremely difficult to watch.
Arabic speakers who have examined the video say the voices in the video are distinctly Libyan with clear Tripoli accents.
There is no date on the video, and the men in the video are not wearing military uniforms.
The victim's face is barely seen, so we have not been able to identify her.
It has been extremely difficult to get anyone to talk about this video on camera because of the cultural sensitivities.
So, this goes on a little bit longer if you want to hear the whole clip.
What a crock.
So it's, you know, we don't know who it came from.
It's unverified.
It's civilians.
We don't know.
We don't know anything.
But Mickey literally almost became sick to her stomach just watching this report, and I had to turn the sound off.
And I can understand this.
I totally get it.
And this made me so angry.
Right on cue.
Right on cue.
As if she was watching CNN and saw this report and said, I have to put out a statement.
Lucifer Clinton puts out a statement.
And says, See if I
can find the exact quote.
She's saying that using rape as a weapon of war.
A weapon of war.
Rape as a weapon of war.
Now, a lot of this doesn't jive, obviously.
And by the way, I want to mention something.
I think it was interesting and unique that they would slip in the terminology, which doesn't refer to this at all, conservative society, which does an associative thing in the brain with these kind of horrible activities, and the word conservative, which affects the elections in our country.
And also, what is the deal with the broomstick when these guys are so loaded with Viagra?
Exactly.
That's what I was going to say.
Oh, now we have broomsticks, even though it's all Viagra now.
So I'm looking at this.
She spoke to a guy on camera, and the guy is from the Misrata Media Center.
I'm like, Misrata Media Center?
What is that?
Who is this guy?
So I start looking around, and this is like complete ministry of truth.
And they have one of these in Benghazi as well.
And I want you to...
This is amazing.
It's the Media Center, guys.
By the way, it's supposed to be at freemisrata.com, according to reports on the BBC, the Dutch World Broadcasting.
And I went and looked for freemisrata.com.
It did not exist, at least not in M-I-S-R-A-T-A dot com spelling.
So I registered that, of course, immediately.
I got that one.
But it was freemizurata.com.
So they didn't even check their own stories.
They just wrote it down.
They're like, let's do a who is.
Oh, by the way, the who is on freemizurata.com?
Tariq Agub to Marshall Crescent, London, United Kingdom?
I mean, really?
Really?
So, okay.
Anyway, so listen to this little report from one of these media centers and listen very closely what he says about Facebook.
Looking for these systems.
Tried to stop the blockage from the government.
And we, thank God, succeeded.
We managed to keep the internet active.
For journalists, for the media center, for the team of Facebook, which is the most visited website.
So did I hear him say the team of Facebook?
That's what he said.
When you say the team of Facebook, to me that sounds like Facebook sent some people over there to go do some stuff.
Or they have a team working out of their organization that does the Facebook pages.
I don't know.
No, he's talking about for media, for these people, and then the team of Facebook.
I don't know.
I mean, I can't say anything.
Well, he did say team of Facebook, whatever that means.
Needs clarification.
The woman holding up this cell phone in this report, in Misrata, on the ground, is Sarah Snyder.
Sarah Snyder...
Worked at KTVU Channel 2 in Oakland, California.
And she was also a local reporter.
She was plucked by CNN International and became boots on the ground for CNN in India.
Just weeks before the Mumbai hotel attack.
And now she's doing this story in Misrata?
And there's no biography.
You can't find anything about her other than she worked at Channel 2 and she's been in media for 12 years.
She's been a television journalist.
And these are the only things I can find.
Is that she was at Oakland, Channel 2, then all of a sudden she was the star of Mumbai, India.
As the Mumbai hotel attack occurred, she was there?
Oh, this woman.
Yeah, I'm looking at their press release where she quit the KTVU. She was a weekend anchor or something.
She was a black woman.
Well, she still is.
That hasn't changed.
Well, she might not be.
You never know.
She could be Libyan by now.
Interesting.
Okay.
I only saw her a few times.
She wasn't really a regular on the...
She's 12 years.
She's got all kinds of awards.
Of course, CNN doesn't specify what award she's won.
12 years in the business.
She's only at KTVU since January of 2004.
Look at her.
Just look at the...
The only bio you can find is on CNN. There's no Wikipedia entry.
She's very sporadic on Twitter.
Here it is.
Sarah Snyder CNN's multiple award winning.
Multiple award winning.
New Delhi based international correspondent responsible for the network's coverage of India and South Asia.
Why is she in Misrata then?
They couldn't find any British dude?
Sounds, uh, huh.
Well, you're suggesting she's a spook?
Yes, a shill.
Well, I'm suggesting that she's totally into being on the front lines, that she's totally horny on the whole media thing, and she'll just take whatever comes their way, and so she's an easy, I don't think she's even in on the game.
It's like, get her.
She'll do it.
And she's holding up a BlackBerry with this video on it.
A blackberry.
Holding up a blackberry in the desert and saying, here's a woman being raped with a broomstick.
It makes me very, very angry that they're doing this.
Yeah, I can tell.
This is one of the few times you've actually gotten worked up.
Yeah, no.
Well, because it's a horrible...
Rape is a horrible thing.
And then to use this to justify an illegal war, which is exactly what's happening, and then for Hillary Clinton to come out and say...
Well, the ICC agrees and investigates.
All of a sudden, the ICC is the authority?
The International Criminal Court, which the United States does not recognize?
Instead of saying, well, you know, the United Nations Human Rights Committee went there, couldn't find any conclusive evidence, says we should do some more research...
But, of course, that's no good because the whole report is filled with nothing that's really condemning.
So then the ICC is now the authority on this?
I'm sorry.
How ironic.
It's disgusting.
It really, really angers me.
And, of course, everyone's just buying into it.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you know, the false flag works very well to the American public.
Yeah.
Well, I'm saddened.
I'm really, really saddened.
And I'm going to keep harping on this because I can't believe that they're doing this.
They're stooping to this level.
And of course, it's like it hits home with everybody.
You know what's weird about it?
What?
We're supposed to be out in days, not weeks.
Hold on a second.
It is U.S. policy that Gaddafi needs to go.
But let me emphasize that we...
We anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, that was March 21st, 2011, when the President said that.
And we might as well just wind up this segment with a nice email that I received from a constitutional professor, constitutional law professor, one of our producers.
And he just lays it out.
He says, look...
I brought up Public Law 107-40, which is really what the President said in his letter to Congress.
They sent over a whole big document like, oh, you know, it's like we're not really using, I had no boots on the ground, and it doesn't really count as the war powers resolution.
By the way, under Public Law 107-40, I have the authorization to send our troops into war.
Public Law 107-40 is what George Bush, Put in place with a resolution from a joint session from Congress and the Senate, which he took as permission to go into Iraq and Afghanistan.
And this is what President Obama is using to go into Libya and soon into Syria.
So this producer, John Calvin Jones, says, look...
In that Public Law 107-40 purports to authorize presidential action pursuant to the War Powers Resolution, Public Law 107-40 authorizes nothing because the War Powers Resolution actually authorizes nothing either.
Either Congress declares war or they do not.
Either the President orders or authorizes the military to retaliate against offensive action of another or the President orders an illegal first strike.
There's no other way about it.
There just can't be any other way.
And of course, this is what a lot of people are saying.
The War Powers Resolution and Act have been deemed unconstitutional as such anyway.
Because at the end of the day, Congress has to authorize war.
And now we just have a big circus and we're doing the same thing that's been done for 40 years.
We're walking around in circles and discussing the War Powers Resolution when at the end of the day, it's a breakage of the Constitution.
Done.
But that's okay.
Because we've got broomstick rape to worry about.
Yep, I think he summarized it.
How bummed out are you now?
Well, you know, this is our Congress.
I mean, what we do later in the show after the break, I'm going to go over this week's New York Times front page five stories.
Ooh, fantastic.
And the feel-good story, of course, we have a theme for the whole thing, but the feel-good story, which should give you some insight.
Let me do the jingle as a tease, and you can tease that for coming up later on in the show.
John's gonna hum the Sunday Times It seems that every Sunday they have a photo, which is laughable, and this one has Obama on the golf course squatting with John Boehner standing there next to him, I guess, looking at a flag or a hole.
We don't know what he's looking at.
The photo's rather odd.
And Obama's pointing at something.
We also don't know what that is because it's off camera.
I know what it is.
I know what it is.
Squirrel!
And so...
And we find out that, you know, that they had a $2 bet on a golf game.
It's really fascinating, the in-depth discussion of the Constitution.
That is coming up on the No Agenda Show, for those of you listening on the No Agenda stream right now, and I think we should thank a few producers who have come in and become executive and or associate executive producers.
Well, a few is the word for this Sunday's fine episode, which is two.
And we have a new knight, which is John Mayer, who gave us...
How do I spell him?
John...
M-A-Y-O-R. John Mayer.
And I think, or maybe I have to go look at his email.
He uses the moniker dog.
Dog?
As in dog, the bounty hunter?
And he has donated $1,111.11 through direct deposit.
He used direct deposit.
That's very lucky for this special year that we're in.
Yeah, and we're encouraging more of that.
He'll be a knight today.
And you have his letter there in front of you?
No, I forwarded it to you.
Yes, you did.
And I immediately went up and looked up his real name.
Anyway, he has a couple things to mention we'll mention at the break.
And then Dwayne Melanson, Sir Melanson to you, in Teagird, Oregon.
In the morning, in Hot Pockets from Sir Dwayne, here's my pie club.
Hot Pockets!
Remember, 314.15, we only got one, I mean, in the $300 range.
And that's cool, because you did the 31415, which is great.
Yeah, which is even better.
But I'm surprised only one person on the actual episode itself came in for the Pi Club.
That means we are not beta people here.
We're all alphas.
Here's my Pi Club donation.
I gave 307 on show 307, but you didn't club me.
What?
I thought I did.
Well, he says he didn't club him.
I'm going to club you now.
Clubbed!
Yeah, I just got my ring this week, and it is awesome!
Yeah.
The Nighthead pin was a classy touch, too.
Donate, propagate, and assassinate.
Very nice.
Yeah, people are loving their rings, the night rings.
Yeah, I think most of the nights they got their rings if we have an address for them.
And I got mine finally.
Oh, do you mind me asking, what is your actual ring size?
I've been kind of curious about that.
I think I reported ten and a half.
What was yours?
I thought it was an eight, but it turns out I'm an eight and a half, or maybe they just are a little smaller.
So that's your pinky ring?
You're going to use it as a pinky ring?
No, no, no.
It's funny.
It fits on my left ring finger, but not on my right ring finger.
But I want it on the right because I can't punch with my left.
Oh, you're going to learn to left hook.
I've been practicing.
Trust me.
All right.
We have a couple of PR mentions that are fun today.
And these are usually domains that forward to noagendashow.com and soon I'll have something cool for you guys to do with these domain names you've registered.
Hey, Adam!
This is Sean Pendergast.
I beat Bill Gates to the punch and registered VaccinesAreMagic.com.
If you remember, this is what Bill Gates said on our last episode of No Agenda.
Well, vaccines are magic.
I thought that was pretty cool.
Vaccinesaremagic.com.
Beautiful.
Thank you so much.
And Angelica, who is interesting, I didn't know, apparently she was forwarding her NaiveLondonGirl.com domain to NoAgendaShow.com.
Now, Naive London Girl was a show that was on Mevio, a podcast that was on Mevio for a long time, but had to be removed because advertisers didn't like it.
And if it wasn't like her showing her nipple on her album art, it was her talking about her sexual preferences on the show.
It was very typical, not compatible with a commercial venture.
So I'm sorry she gave up the show.
I kind of enjoyed listening to the show, but now apparently she's not only forwarding her own domain, NaiveLondonGirl.com, but also the following domains, GreekDebt.info.
PalinBachman2012.info, JoeBiden2016.info, Biden2016.info, and LuciferClinton.info, which is all nice.
That's a good one.
Yeah, I love that.
Oh, here, I got the letter from Nate, by the way.
Go for it.
I want to read that.
Anyway, he's our new knight.
We're going to call him Dog, Nate Dog.
Nate Dog.
Sir Nate Dog.
And it's Meyer, M-A-Y-E-R, pronounced Mayer.
This is interesting.
He...
He's been listening to the show for a few months.
He's in the army.
And he's deployed in Afghanistan.
Wow.
Where?
He doesn't say where, and I don't think we want to know.
He's decided it's quite fitting to have the federal government finance your show, albeit using me as a proxy.
Yay!
He'd like to call out, this is the key, he'd like to call out his comrades Joel Tallman and Chris Ellis for being true believers in the show, but not donating douchebags.
Douchebags!
One more, one more.
We got two guys there.
Douchebag!
Wow.
He also wants to be knighted as Sir GQ. Hold on a second.
It's a nickname he's had since high school.
Sir GQ. Sir GQ. Okay.
Sure.
Not a problem.
And he's over there in Afghanistan, huh?
Yeah, he will probably...
Holy crap.
Hopefully he gets out of there alive.
Well, that's really horrible to say.
Well, you know, at least he can propagate the show over there.
I wonder how many tours he's had.
I don't know.
You know what?
I wonder how many servicemen and women listen to the show.
I think it's more than we realize.
Maybe it's passed around on cassette tapes.
I think it's actually a lot more than we realize for one good reason.
What else can they listen to that has any real information?
And they must be fed the worst kind of stuff.
And they also know a lot of stuff.
I know there's a lot of guys that listen to the show just to correct us.
And we're not perfect by any means.
I think on every show we probably make one or two correctable errors.
Sure, sure we do.
But it's all minor compared to the big picture.
It's, um, yeah.
No, but I think that we're probably passed around on USB sticks.
Hey, man.
Hey, man.
Check this out.
Hey, listen to these guys.
Hey, listen to these guys, man.
Can you imagine being over there and then actually having, like, a CNN report and watching and going, oh, brother.
That's so wrong.
They must be freaking out.
They must be freaking out.
And then, finally, one last mention, which is very cool.
There's this, um, I think it may be a local TV series, The Edmontonian Presents.
Edmontonian.
Yeah, it's his favorite, obviously Edmonton.
Right, and Kyle Miller bought a commercial for us, which is a nice full-screen picture, and here's the audio of the ad.
The Edmontonian Presents is brought to you in part by Kyle Miller, Edmonton, Associate Executive Producer of the No Agenda Show, noagendashow.com.
Edmonton associate executive producer.
I love that.
See, that's what a credit is for.
It sounds official, doesn't it?
Yeah, it sounds like he's a hot shot.
Yeah, in the morning and everything.
It was very cool.
I thought that was a nice touch.
Appreciate it.
We need more of that.
Yes, we do.
So thank you very much to everyone who worked on the PR. Thank you, of course, to our sole Pi Club member, Sir Dwayne Melaton, who was also executive producer along with our other executive producer, Sir GQ John Mayer, also known as Nate Dogg.
Nate.
Nate Dogg Mayer.
How many apostrophes do I have to put in the guy's name?
Lots.
Nate Dogmayer, executive producers for episode 314.
It's meager, but of course, it's what happens when we get into the summer months, and you know how that works.
Dvorak.org slash NA. Everybody else, you do have a mission.
Whether you have a night ring or not, go out and propagate the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
You know, the shame of it is that the shame of it is that even though the listenership does fall off on all media over the summer, and the shame of
it is this is the time of year when the more interesting news items seem to be cropping up because they can slip stuff by the public.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you know, of course, it's very interesting when you have If you look at a grand view of what's happening in media, in the United States at least, because no one's talking about Anthony Weiner anywhere else.
My daughter was in London for three weeks.
She said, what?
Some guy, what?
There was not a word about it.
And she watches the news and she stays in touch.
It's just not mentioned because no one cares over there.
But sex is on the mind.
Everyone's thinking about sex.
And so that's when they slip in, you know, this rape with broomsticks and Viagra.
Of course, the real travesty is taking place is when the president is saying, well, you know what?
It's not actually an attack on someone if you shoot a hellfire at them from a drone.
That's not non-kinetic.
That's not actually an attack.
So we're not really at war.
You know, these definitions are being played out before us.
So, of course, it's all distraction.
I don't know.
So anyway...
Yeah, you just read the Sunday Times.
You don't know.
What do you know?
We got clips and other things to deal with.
The Sunday Times is...
I could have done the whole show.
That's why I'm going to push it off.
Because if I get going on this, it's going to chew up too much time.
I mean, the kind of propaganda that we're seeing in today's paper is unbelievable.
I did hear, by the way, just briefly on Weiner, reports are that there was a honeypot involved and that he was baited by fake Twitter accounts.
I'm telling you, I still believe that there's something that we don't know, that he was, either there's an important vote or something he was involved in and they had to get him out of there.
The only reason I say this is because they rushed, rushed, rushed to push, push, get out, get out, get out, get out.
More than anything I've ever seen before.
So it had to be more than just this, you know, so he's a pervert, so what?
Yeah, I don't understand why no one's interviewing Chuck Schumer, because he was Chuck Schumer's boy.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I mean, Senator Chuck Schumer, yeah, and not a single word.
It's like a no-go zone.
You can't talk to Chuck about Anthony.
So yeah, with this stuff, we don't know.
But I will say...
That only in America, only in America can we get so riled up about this.
Because we're so frustrated.
We're such a frustrated, sexually frustrated bunch of boners.
We really are.
And this is a conversation that has just been ongoing.
I'm sure it happens in every single household.
But if you really don't have a good relationship, this is what guys do.
This is what we do.
But even so, this type of stuff, my ex-wife, she went on television in Holland.
I think I told her it was like a year and a half ago or something.
And she made allegations about some sexual stuff that I was into.
And the whole country went, are you kidding?
Why would you even tell anyone about that?
You're stupid.
Whereas if that had happened in America, you'd be like, look at Curry!
And they'd be uncovering pictures and doing photo montages.
Right?
Yeah, we're waiting.
But the Dutch public literally went, you know, who cares?
We don't care what he's into.
So what was it again?
You know.
I've told you about that before.
Hot Pockets!
But I'm just trying to give you the difference.
So, Women of America, it's a two-way street.
I'm going to have to say it.
You want your man sometimes to romance you and you want him to really spend a lot of time with you and cuddle.
And guys, you need to be doing this if that's what your woman wants.
And you need to have a conversation.
And sometimes your woman just wants a wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.
And this is what you do when you're two people together and you're partners.
It doesn't just end when you get married or start living together.
You've got to keep talking about this stuff.
Otherwise it turns into sexual frustration.
Conversely, women...
Guys want what we see in the porns.
I'm sorry.
That stuff that you see, and not all of it, of course, but it's not like the porn industry corrupted us into thinking it.
No, it's fulfilling a market demand.
So sometimes...
Not call when I need it.
What's that?
Where's the duck call?
Right, but...
Let me get you out of this hole.
No, but let me just wind it up by saying you need to have a conversation together about what you're into and what you like.
You have to be honest and you can agree on what you will and won't do.
But if it's just not discussed and just goes into like missionary once every two weeks, your guy's going to wind up with his boner on the internet.
And this is what guys do.
Yeah, well.
So, uh...
Hold on a second.
Let's go to our sexual correspondent, John C. Dvorak, who's going to weigh in on this.
John!
Meanwhile, there was the Southern Leadership Conference, Conservative Leadership Conference, or whatever it was taking place this last weekend.
Yeah, it was the Republican Leadership Conference.
It was great!
Ugh...
So I didn't realize, you know, all I heard, I never saw this guy speak, who's just a, you know, this guy has about a snowball's chance of hell of ever being accepted by the American public as anything other than the creep that he apparently is, in my opinion, which is this Rick Perry guy.
So Rick Perry, oh, Rush Limbaugh, and Rick Perry, Rick Perry, Rick Perry, Rick Perry.
And all these guys, all these things we're talking about, Rick Perry sounds like a second coming of George Bush to an extreme.
And I've actually been working, I haven't done this yet, but I've been working on this little, you can play, here, start off with playing Creep 1 clip.
Ready to elect Republican leaders up and down that ballot who will make government smaller so that opportunity can get bigger.
You did a spit take on that.
I'm preaching to the choir.
It can get snotty.
I understand that.
But America's greatness is not found in the size of its government.
America's greatness resides in the hearts and the minds of our people.
Their innovative approaches to solving problems and their ability to endure even in the toughest of times.
Hey.
What is this dropping your voice?
It's a toughness of time.
Because I'm going to tell you, I can make it all happen for you.
My ladies and gentlemen, my flock, come to me.
That's what he's doing.
He's doing preacher thing.
He's a douchebag.
Let me call him out.
He has no chance.
He's a total douchebag.
Play it again.
By the way, doesn't he have to have some operation in like a month or so?
I think he has an operation coming up, so he's doomed.
So he doesn't drop his voice?
We've got to pull the bar.
He's got polyps?
I don't know what he has.
He's a preacher man.
Let me tell you, we've got to make the government smaller.
That's all we can do.
I'm Rick Perry.
I'm running for president.
Now, here's the bigger...
This is the more...
This one got me to roll my eyes.
This is the douchebag clip.
Oh.
And I'll just tell you what I thought about it after you play it.
Our goal is to displace the entrenched powers in Washington.
Restore the rightful balance between state and federal government.
Listen, reach in your pocket right now.
Who?
Take your phone out.
Okay.
Okay.
I just want you to take your phone out just a second.
I want you to do something.
I got it.
Um...
If you really believe in what we're talking about here, restoring the balance back to our country, decentralizing out of Washington, D.C., I want you to take your phone out and I want you to text something to the number 95613.
I want you to put the word forward in there, F-O-R-W-A-R-D, and text it to 95613.
Go ahead.
I'll wait.
How are you, girl?
Listen, and we're going to keep you apprised of what we're doing.
We're going to keep you informed about our efforts to restore that crucial balance between the states and Washington.
Get America moving forward into the rightful role that our founding fathers knew would work.
The guy just collected names for his mailing list.
Yeah, of course.
And probably at ten bucks.
In the middle of his speech?
I want you to take your cell phones out of your pocket.
Go ahead, I'll wait.
The Lord has time to wait for you.
Now, we're going to make America move forward.
Just text me.
958613.
I'll wait for you.
You nailed him!
No, he's easy.
Because I know these guys.
That's always been my plan B, is to be a televangelist.
I know I can do that.
I know I can do it.
Come on down!
We have to repent!
Satan is upon us!
Satan, I tell you, is upon us!
And we have to keep this great nation of ours.
Can I have an amen, Brother John?
Brother John?
Douchebag, man.
This guy, anyway, this guy is going to wear thin real fast.
The fact that these TV... Send me your text.
No cash or blankets.
This text thing was just beyond...
I was just like, holy crap, what a lot of nerve.
That's like right in the middle of a speech saying, can everyone send me your business cards?
Yeah.
That's exactly it.
Send me a business card and tweetmeyourboner.com.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, so this guy's got no chance in hell of ever becoming the nominee.
Unless the Republicans are completely insane or they never listen to the guy.
Because no normal...
I mean, yeah, sure, you're going to have a bunch of these Southern Baptist types or Methodists that go to church all the time.
They're used to hearing a guy like this yelling at, haranguing them.
But the fact of the matter is, generally speaking...
But why would these, you know, the Hannity's and the Hannity's big Rick Perry fandom...
Well, he's a Mormon.
This is a whole religious cult.
This whole thing is ridiculous.
And this guy, I didn't realize how bad he was until I heard him.
We're going down.
It's evil.
I tell you.
They were throwing babies out on the floor.
It was an evil thing.
You could do that.
I could run for president.
Yeah, well.
Anyway, that was my moment of...
Truth.
Yeah, whatever.
Well, Ron Paul, of course, was also at the Republican Fest.
And I have two little clips.
One for me, one for you.
One for me, one for you, John.
How do you like that?
Here's one for me.
Right now we're in Libya.
Congress was not even asked or informed about it.
We have a lawsuit.
There's Republicans and Democrats got together, filing a lawsuit, and say he has broken not only the Constitution, but the War Powers Resolution, which was meant to restrain the presidents from going to war like this.
But our current president explained to us, in a condescending way to the Congress, oh, this isn't a war.
This is a war.
This one doesn't qualify as being controlled by the Constitution, the Congress, or the War Powers Resolution.
He said, they're not shooting back and we haven't been killed.
So evidently, if we go and bomb people and they don't shoot back, it's not a war.
That's how silly the whole thing is.
But it's up to us.
It's up to the people.
It's up to the Congress.
It's up to all of us.
And it's up to us to get a president that won't put up with this nonsense and won't go to war so carelessly.
Lots of applause there for Dr.
Ron Paul, who, of course, won the straw poll there.
But he also, I think, you know, well, no, we know that he is aware of our show because I interviewed him for the 2008 presidential election.
I think he's been listening, John.
I think he's been listening.
I think he had a covert message for you.
Because he wants to convert you.
Because, of course, he voted for Obama.
We all know that.
I didn't vote.
Actually, I'll tell you the truth.
I'll tell everybody this.
You didn't vote.
In fact, here's what happened during the primaries.
I thought it was Monday.
I can't believe it.
It was the primaries.
And actually, I'm forgetting the details.
But anyway, I'm a registered independent.
So in California, if you're a registered, you can't choose anybody's ballot.
You have to either take a primary ballot or a Democrat ballot.
Yeah, that's right.
You can't get a Republican ballot.
So I couldn't vote for any of the Republicans.
Wait a minute.
So I can't vote for Ron Paul in California?
You can write him in.
No, he would be listed on an independent.
No, he's a Republican.
Okay.
No, you wouldn't be able to.
Not in the primaries.
Oh, in the primaries.
No, of course not.
No, I'm not a member of the party.
So I voted for...
Now that I think about it, I may have voted for Hillary, but I either voted for Obama...
I think I voted for Obama, so I could say I voted for him.
Really?
I've got to shoo you, man.
I've just got to shoo you.
All right, so anyway, Ron Paul wants you to register as a Republican so you can get him in, because here's his message for John.
I think he actually, under his breath, says...
John Dworkd. John Dworkd. John Dworkd. John Dworkd. John Dworkd. John Dworkd. John Dworkd. John Dworkd. John Dworkd. John Dworkd.
Here at home, we are steadily losing our liberties.
We're losing our economic liberties.
We don't own our own property.
We can't use our property unless we pay our taxes and follow all the regulations from not only the federal government and the state government and local government, but from the UN coming down on us and telling us what we can do with our land.
It's a very good reason to support my bill that would get us out of the UN and the IMF and the World Community Organization.
But wait for it.
Thank you.
You know, the good intentions always get out of control.
There's a good intention done by the Food and Drug Administration.
Make sure your food is safe.
Who's against safe food?
Everybody's for safe food.
But do we need the FDA? So now what the FDA is doing and why they feel so compelled to protect you, they will arrest you if you start drinking raw milk and you happen to cross a state border.
What is so dangerous about you making your own choice about whether or not you can drink raw milk?
I think we ought to vote for the right to drink raw milk!
Yay!
Vote for milk!
Vote for raw milk!
Come on, that's genius.
It's pretty funny.
Vote for raw milk.
Ron Paul for rawmilk2012.com.
We have one of the great raw milk dairies in Washington.
I know you do.
For all you drinkers of raw milk, we buy it from the dairy and they also have it locally.
$6.50 a gallon.
That's more than my gasoline, boy.
No, that's dirt cheap.
Raw milk generally would be about $12 a gallon in most places.
It's overpriced.
Anyway, just for the raw...
Anyway, it's a long story.
Anyway, as much as I like Gary Johnson, I don't think he has a chance.
I think he's over.
No, no, he doesn't have a chance.
But Ron Paul, you know, he wins the straw poll.
Yeah, he doesn't have a chance either.
You hear O'Reilly is pretty funny.
I picked this up.
So here's just we don't have to really discuss it.
Just listen to how O'Reilly like.
Yeah.
So he wins the straw poll, but O'Reilly marginalizes Ron Paul this way.
Also matter segment tonight, Congressman Ron Paul from Texas is entering his third presidential campaign.
But last night, it wasn't easy understanding him.
We're trying to unwind a Keynesian bubble that's been going on for 70 years.
And you're not going to touch this problem until you liquidate the bad debt and the malinvestment.
Go back to work.
But you have to have sound money.
You have to recognize how we got into trouble.
We got into trouble because we had a financial bubble, and it's caused by the Federal Reserve.
And O'Reilly goes like, I don't understand.
Yeah, I saw this clip and O'Reilly pretends that it's all gobbledygook and he's never heard of Keynes and all the other bullcrap.
Which just shows you how completely compromised and controlled it all is.
Yeah, no, it's a total scam.
In fact, I'm not getting it, to be honest about it.
I mean, why?
Because it has to be their boy.
But I'm not getting how they think they can pull it off.
In other words, I don't get how Fox thinks they can get away with this.
Because we're stupid!
Because, first of all, Fox, as you and I both know, is really run by Democrats.
And they want to have the stupidest people.
Like Mitt Romney or Michelle Bachman, as cute as she is.
And the accent just, it turns me on.
But, you know, she's MKUltrad.
You know, she's got that thousand-yard stare on her.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, what is she looking at?
I don't know.
She's looking right through me, that's for sure.
So, of course, John, did you know that we killed Osama bin Laden?
By the way, I just want to mention something because we bring this up every so often that Fox is run by Democrats and it just seems like it's laughable.
I want to mention that our major talk station here in the San Francisco Bay Area, KSFO, which has all the right...
It's got Rush Limbaugh.
It's got everybody.
And Twit.
KSFO. Yeah.
Yeah.
No, that's the Los Angeles, no.
That's KS, whatever it is down there.
Leo's on the Limbaugh station here.
KSFO is owned by KGO, which is the left-wing talk channel, and they're both managed by a guy who's an extreme left-wing liberal guy, nice guy, I've met him, Jack Swanson, and he is a...
A very big-time Democrat.
Of course, he's married to a Republican.
And they manage the right-wing show because it makes them a lot of money.
So the idea that this can happen, that Democrats can run the right-wing shows, is observed all over the place.
You just have to look at the ownership.
It's that simple.
It really is that simple.
So when you have the meaning of Ron Paul, it's obviously a threat to the establishment.
And Murdoch is the establishment.
Murdoch is the establishment, but Romney is the establishment.
And Michelle Bachman is cute.
She's TV friendly.
I have to say, Dr.
Ron Paul looks pretty good.
He's 74 now, 75.
Looks pretty good.
He's lively.
Yeah, very.
It was a good speech.
And actually, I'm playing it.
Mickey's like, hey, who's that?
Some guy making sense over there on your computer.
That's Ron Paul.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So he's out.
So he's out.
You win the straw poll, good luck.
You're out.
Anyway, so as you know, our president killed Osama bin Laden.
And this, of course...
I heard that.
Yeah, so this is a conundrum.
Did he actually go over there and knife him?
He hit him in the mouth with a night ring, I hear.
It's like Obama had a knife in his teeth.
He rappelled down the rope from the...
I mean, not the Blackhawk, the stealth helicopter.
So he's dead.
What happened to that story, by the way?
It wasn't true.
Because the Pakistani newspaper started reporting about the fact that these were really loud helicopters and people were annoyed by it and one of them crashed.
The whole thing is wrong.
We can't even get into it.
It was so wrong.
There's so much stupid reporting.
But of course now we have a real problem because we need to stay terrorized.
Because we can't just say, well, ding dong, the witch is dead.
We're going to leave Afghanistan.
No, that would be no good.
So now we have to ratchet it up a little bit.
So we got this video and now we've got a letter from who used to be the number two guy is now the number one guy.
Anwar Al-Zahri.
I think that's his name.
Alawakie.
Alawakie Waka.
Waka Waka.
Baraka Flaka Flame.
But Fox Business News has a report with a consultant who's hawking a book.
Is that all they do on Fox, by the way, is hawk books?
Yeah.
If we get a book, we're so in.
Unbelievable.
We can just get one of those free holo books.
Here's our book.
It is holo.
Just like you're reporting.
Just like your brain.
Look at your head.
It's completely holo.
Normally I wouldn't play a clip from Fox Business News.
I don't even know who this guy is.
Some jabroni that brought off the street.
And then the consultant is funny.
But it's a script, right?
And if people don't...
If you've not been listening to the show, everything on television is a script.
Just about everything.
Kardashians, trust me, it's a script.
Everyone knows what they're doing.
And this guy starts off with the most fantastic description of the new number one in Al-Qaeda.
And it just keeps going from there.
And we'll have to stop it and discuss from time to time because this is the new normal, John, for you and I. Al-Qaeda's had to rearrange their deck chairs as the number two man is now number one.
Problem for Al-Qaeda is that their new CEO, Ayman Zawahiri, their new CEO, He's the CEO now.
Does he have to report to the board?
Do they do quarterly?
Yes, it gets better.
Report that we can get?
And I'm like, what?
CEO? They're new CEO. They got a new sheriff in town.
Now, they just have to listen to this.
It's a meme fest, John.
It's about as inspiring as a potted plant, even though he is just as deadly as bin Laden was.
By the way, when you hear those words, this is a script.
Okay?
I mean, no one talks like that.
Hey, John, that's about as inspiring as a potted plant, what you just said there.
No, it's a script.
Does Zawahiri need to establish street cred?
Street cred?
In order to make him more powerful in the organization?
Let's ask Fox News.
Like he's in the Crips now, all of a sudden.
He has to have street cred.
And here comes the consultant.
...analyst and the author of The Officers Club, Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters.
So, Colonel, is Zawahiri going to do something?
Zawahiri.
What?
Zawahiri, that's who it is.
Well, he actually corrected me.
That's the doctor.
Well, yeah.
I'm sorry, doctor.
The new CEO is a doctor.
To try to make himself more of a household word.
Well, he's certainly going to do everything he can.
The time to watch is as we get around 9-11, the 10-year anniversary.
Al-Qaeda will struggle as hard as they can to pull something off somewhere, if not in the U.S., in Europe, if not in Europe, somewhere in the third world, or what we used to call the third world.
If not there in the Pacific Ocean, if not there in the mid-Atlantic, perhaps an island.
It'll be somewhere.
You've nailed it, really.
You've nailed it.
He just isn't inspiring.
He's not a recruiting poster boy.
He needs some media training, John.
Clearly he needs media training.
He needs the Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak media training for...
After we're done with Russia today.
Yeah, for terror CEOs.
This is a gig.
He's a theoretician.
He's a bureaucrat of jihad.
A bureaucrat of jihad?
Can you believe this?
Who wrote this?
By the way, I want to mention that ever since they got bin Laden, they have been pushing this meme about this guy.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, it gets better.
Osama bin Laden, in his heyday, which had passed, excited great personal loyalty and sacrifice.
The jihadis love that guy.
He was on the t-shirts.
Zavari doesn't, he's not going to be...
He needs the t-shirts, John.
He needs stickers.
He needs t-shirts.
He needs keychains.
He's on the t-shirts throughout the Middle East.
You know what it reminds me of?
It reminds me of Raul Castro trying to replace his brother Fidel.
I mean, Fidel is not loved by the Cuban people because they know what the score is.
But around the world, Fidel has this image.
He's not loved by the Cuban people.
Just so you know.
And Raul does not.
Raul is just a bureaucrat.
So it's kind of a similar thing.
So do they have...
Is it Zahiri or Zahiri?
Zahiri.
Zahiri.
John?
Say it now.
Zahiri.
No, Zahiri.
Good to say it right.
The Haki.
The Haki.
Dave, it's the CEO, man.
A CEO, Dr.
Zahiri.
...by the Cuban people, because they know what the score is, but around the world, Fidel has its image, and Raul does not.
Raul is just a bureaucrat.
It's kind of a similar thing.
So do they have, is it Zahiri or Zahiri?
Oh, Zahiri.
Zahiri.
You'll see it with the other I in there and without it.
Does he have a different M.O. than Bin Laden, or were they working together and everything?
Well, You hear various claims that Zohokhi was really the evil influence, that he was the guy who corrupted the vision of Bin Laden.
There's a couple schools of thought, and we just don't know.
It's not Helo Waka Waka was the corruption influence.
No, Zohokhi, Zohokhi, Zohokhi.
I do know.
It is this, that Al-Qaeda is no longer as unified as it once was.
Zawahiri, or Zawahiri if you prefer, has his detractors.
By the way, do you remember it was Osama, Osama, same thing.
We've got to do a little confusion with the name.
It's the same script.
And I think you're going to see a lot more franchises split.
Franchises!
It's the McDonald's of terror.
John, this is great.
These guys are expanding.
The American-born Anwar al-Awlaki, now operating in Yemen, he's not going to listen to everything Zawahiri says.
He's going to roll his own and he's been doing better.
Then the core al-Qaeda guys.
What has he done?
He's doing better.
How's he doing better?
He put some bomb in some guy's shorts, supposedly?
No, no.
You know exactly how this is measured.
They get a report from Hill and Knowlton, and it says, look, we got this many words and this much print space, which would equal this much money if you had to buy the space, and that's how they justify it.
This is all PR work.
Oh, so what you're saying is because he's getting more ink.
More ink.
Exactly.
That's how he's defining success.
Ink and airtime.
Ink and airtime.
The Al-Qaeda of Fazl Abdullah Mohammed killed last week in Somalia with a target wish list of what they'd like to hit.
Now, here's where it gets interesting.
The target wish list.
This is where it's going to get fun.
You can't.
What do you think of that wish list, by the way?
So far, all I've seen are a couple of British references.
A British hotel and Eton, a British private school.
What?
They want to blow it up?
Yeah, no, no, this is great.
They want to blow up Eton?
Eton Hotel, yeah.
Well, just send them a drone over Great Britain and blow up Eton.
Yeah, the CEO doesn't have access to a drone.
Oh, I thought they were talking about the wish list.
Oh, the wish list is their wish list.
I thought it was our wish list.
No, no, no.
This is the Al-Qaeda.
No, this is what you have to understand.
And this is where it's going to get great.
Wait a minute.
You mean you're telling me Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda, whatever they want to call them?
Advertising?
Do you?
Do you think they want to blow up Eaton?
Yes, because that's where...
They don't even know what Eaton is.
Yes, they do.
That's where all the evil douchebags come from.
That's where every single politician, or almost every single politician in the UK, has been schooled.
It's like their version of skull and bones.
I know what Eaton is personally, but I don't believe Al-Qaeda gives a crap.
It's not symbolic.
It is.
This is why it's so great.
Keep listening.
The private school in Britain, which they call a public school, for their upper crust, the richest of the rich, the aristocracy, that would be a big win if they could go to eat and kill a lot of the...
That would be a big win!
It'd be a big win if we could blow up Eaton.
It's like they're talking about a football game.
If the coach could go there and beat USC, it would be a big win.
That would be awesome.
The science, the best and the brightest young Brits.
There also was a list, apparently, of 40 or 50 American individuals that they were thinking about or they wanted to hit.
People from the world of finance, politics, maybe the media.
Now, that's the one I'm going after.
So, this is what we talked about.
I had the FBI warning that they're going after people in the media.
So, first of all, it's all bull crap.
Oh yeah, but this is like the warning list.
This is what you do is you put out a supposed Al-Qaeda list.
You say, hey, you guys don't toe the line.
We're going to put you on the list.
Maybe, just maybe, some local nutcase who happens to think he's in Al-Qaeda or whatever comes and he just knifes you.
No, it gets better than that.
First of all, Al-Qaeda is a farce, alright?
I'm just going to say it again.
This is just something that made up the boogeyman to make you afraid at night.
Yeah, we got that part.
Okay, so we got that.
So, how do we get the media to talk about this as much as possible?
By putting them on the list.
By putting them on the list.
And I think...
But who in the media did they put on the list?
Do we know?
Oh, please.
Oh, Allah.
Let it be Anderson Cooper.
Please.
Oh, please.
Maybe Don Lemon.
Don Lemon, please.
It won't be any of these guys.
There's got to be...
Thank you, Don.
...specifically targeted people.
I'm telling you, this list is put out by our people.
But they've got to hit somebody.
They've got to take somebody out to make it real.
Well, who would it be?
Anderson Cooper.
No, it won't be Anderson Cooper.
Why not?
That would be huge.
How about Wolf?
No, it's got to be somebody...
No, I don't know.
This is interesting to try to suppose who they would assassinate.
It's a media Al-Qaeda CEO Deadpool.
You've got to come up with a Deadpool.
Has this list been revealed with the names?
No, of course not.
Well, that may...
Of course not.
They know there's a list, but they don't have the names.
That doesn't make any sense.
The FBI has the list, but they're not releasing it.
But that's not...
You know, it doesn't matter because next week...
Here's my prediction.
Okay, I'm kidding.
Either Wolf...
Any top anchor is going to say, I understand...
He's going to be interviewing some guy with a book.
And he's going to say, you know, I understand my name is on the list.
Because now everyone's going to want to be on the list.
This is like the hot thing.
You want to be on the Al-Qaeda hit list.
Because that way, it's ratings.
It's a ratings bonanza, I tell you.
I mean, John, if you and I were sitting together, which we never do, and we're like, hey, how can we get ratings up?
We've come up with this.
Hey man, let's make an Al-Qaeda hit list and put our guys on it.
So, who do you think is on it?
What's your prediction?
Okay, on the list, it's definitely Wolf Blitzer.
It's all the CNN guys.
Anderson Cooper, for sure.
Because, you know, he's all buff and stuff.
And he's going to have a kerfuffle or a scuffle.
Maybe Geraldo.
Geraldo's always a go-to guy for that stuff.
I don't see it.
I mean, he might put himself on the list for the reasons you just explained.
A double whammy would be Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck's taking himself out of the picture.
Yeah, but...
I'm sorry, that's my list.
I think you might have to be on to something with the CNN thing because CNN does get coverage overseas and it's international.
If anyone travels a lot knows that you go to a hotel and you start flipping around, you get CNN, but you also get...
You get some of these, I think you get Sky some places, and you get Sky Sports, and there's a few of these other ones.
They got no stars.
They got no celebrities.
I'm believing it's not going to be an American that's hit.
My prediction is that somebody will get killed, but it'll be a Brit.
Hmm, but they got no, it has to be like a celebrity.
Anyway, everyone's going to want to be on the list.
That I can guarantee you.
It's going to be like the thing.
Hey, are you on the list?
Yeah, man, I heard him on the list.
You watch.
All right.
Onward.
Yes.
What other bogus things is it?
Is that the end of this guy, I hope?
I'm done with him.
I just thought it was cool, the new CEO of Al-Qaeda.
CEO. Very, very awesome.
I found an interesting little, talking about propaganda from the media, I found this interesting little tidbit on a BBC. Actually, I have two BBC clips.
One of them is unbelievably weird.
I have the whole thing.
I have to talk over it so it makes any sense.
An overproduced BBC report on some kid who is at Eton or one of these schools in England.
That's not going to exist pretty soon.
Who is a Libyan and him and a bunch of his compatriots are coming back to Libya to fight.
Even though they've never shot a gun in their lives and they're going to do this because of the evils that they see over there.
The British are really the ones that are backing this war to the extreme.
And this guy, so they produce this piece.
It's like a whole feature.
And they show the kid back home bitching about something.
Then they show him with, it's like a three camera shoot that's overproduced.
With green screen effects?
No, maybe.
Voice-over?
Is that voice-over?
Hot voice-over?
Lots of voice-over.
And stingers?
There's pictures, for example, of him coming off the boat, so they had the camera planted on shore in Libya.
Then they have him rolling his rolly cart.
And then the next thing you know, they have like a one-mile long shot with a 2,000-millimeter lens of him coming down the road in a Jeep in Libya heading toward the Rebels.
I don't know how they got this camera so far away.
So they zoom way out.
He's coming in.
Then they have a one-shot of him standing in the Jeep with the cameras obviously on the hood of the Jeep.
And then they shoot the long shot again.
What happened to that camera that was on the hood of the Jeep?
I don't know.
Oh, wait.
So we had a – is the Jeep driving?
Yeah.
Oh, so they have a car mount.
That's expensive, a car mount.
No kidding.
And so this thing is driving down.
The whole thing, and then he's getting out of the Jeep.
There's a camera ready for the shooting.
Did they have a helicopter shot?
A helicopter shot?
No, there was no helicopter shot.
Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.
This thing was already ridiculously produced.
It was staged.
The car mount is very expensive.
If it was a good car mount, and this is the crazy thing about media.
I'm so glad you bring this up and listen to it in a sec.
You know, we take this so for granted, we get sucked into the television, and you're like, you're in the world.
But you and I, who have been doing this for so long, we're actually deconstructing every shot.
Like, wow, man, that must have been like a Steadicam.
And if you've ever seen a movie being made where people are sitting in a car, and you've got all this gear strapped to it, and sometimes it's even on a trailer, they're not even driving.
That's what you have to imagine when this stuff is being produced.
Yeah, and in this case, it's so fake because first you've got to know what road he's coming down and you've got to position the camera way up the road with a long lens and then you show him driving down the dirt road up the dirt road towards you and then past you.
Did they drive over the camera?
I love those shots.
Those are great.
No, they didn't have that shot.
That would have been perfect.
So do you have to narrate this or what do we do?
Well, just play and you'll get the feeling I'll talk over it.
Okay.
...in Libya say at least ten people have been killed in a rocket attack by Colonel Gaddafi's forces.
In recent weeks, rebel numbers have been swelled by some Libyans who live abroad, returning to join the fighting in the besieged city of Misrata.
Our correspondent Andrew Harding met one student who left behind his studies in Britain to join the fight on the front line.
In high spirits...
A ferry full of weapons heading for the besieged city of Misrata, and the front lines that surround it.
Wait a minute, were they choreographed the dancers?
Yeah.
Okay.
Among today's reinforcements, a young math student from Lancaster University, Tadiq Belhaj.
In England, I couldn't do much for this revolution.
So I decided to go and hold the gun for the first time in my life.
For Sadiq, this is personal.
His father has come to greet him, but Gaddafi's forces have taken 16 members of their family.
Within hours, a shy, earnest student seems transformed.
It's a short journey to the front lines.
He got off the boat.
Now he's coming up the road.
Sound effects.
Cue background noise.
And go extras!
Gaddafi's superior firepower is a constant threat for these part-time soldiers.
There's no action.
You don't see anything blowing up.
That is total sound effect.
That's taken from the South Pacific.
These guys are standing at a jeep, about five of them, and they're shooting this, and they have a mattress that they set on fire.
Yeah.
For unknown reasons.
As one does.
In the middle of nowhere.
If you don't go, Gaddafi, I'm going to set this mattress on fire!
And then they're pointing out into the distance, giving this guy a gun to shoot.
He's never shot one before.
And he takes a couple of shots in the air.
You can play some more.
I just want to listen to the sound effects.
I think you're right.
I think I can probably find these sound effects of these...
That sounds like the HBO series The Pacific.
It could be.
It sounds like that World War II stuff.
Listen to this.
Is Sadiq ready for this?
Oh!
Actually, it sounds like an Atari.
It sounds like bullcrap.
Pew!
Those were uncomfortably close.
Gaddafi's superior firepower is a constant threat to these part-time soldiers.
And Sadiq has come right to the very front lines here.
Very active front lines.
Colonel Gadethi's force is just a mile or so down the road.
We can hear the missiles whistling overhead.
They're a mile away.
He says it's the front lines.
You don't see anything blowing up.
No explosions.
No whistles blowing.
But this guy, the reporter, is dressed up with a big helmet, a bunch of flak jacket.
He's standing behind a pole.
Everybody else is in short sleeves.
Everyone's all...
And in cockies?
Yeah!
They're just standing around with like a short-sleeved shirt and, you know, no helmet, nothing.
This reporter, meanwhile, is dressed to the tens.
Pew!
Patrolling the skies, too.
Now, the men here are bracing themselves for what they believe could be an imminent Gaddafi offensive.
Pew!
Pew!
In a quieter moment, Sadiq's training begins.
These are the rockets.
He hopes his math skills will help with targeting.
These are the rockets.
They go pew pew!
I don't want to kill anybody, actually.
And also my friends.
They don't want to kill them.
But we had to fight.
So where is the enemy now?
Are there?
Sadiq's lack of experience is nothing new here.
The rebels need training and weapons, and too many are dying.
Nice, nice, nice, very nice.
And so...
What is he saying, be nice?
What is he saying then?
I don't know.
But nice.
Play it again.
Be nice, be nice.
He says, be nice, be nice now.
Hold on, let me go back here.
The rebels need training and weapons, and too many are dying.
Nice, nice, nice, very nice.
I'm always saying very nice, because I guess he shot the thing.
Because he shot the gun.
Nice, nice, very nice.
After a mere hour or so...
Did he say, where is the enemy?
Did I hear him say that?
Yeah, he says, where's the enemy?
Because there isn't one.
No, it's in the sky.
It's that drone, dude.
That's the enemy.
Oh, wait a minute, John.
Crap, that's us.
...training.
Sadiq joins the ranks.
Either we live in peace and freedom, or we die.
We're all done.
Andrew Harding, BBC News, Ms.
Rajan.
Andrew Harding, BBC News.
Anyway, so they...
By the way, they mentioned that they trained him in one day.
We have been in Afghanistan for ten years, and we can't apparently train anybody to do anything.
Where's the enemy?
Where's the enemy?
You know, and...
I'm so ashamed!
I'm so ashamed!
I'm so ashamed that we're killing people.
For British Petroleum.
I'm so ashamed of this.
I'm deeply, deeply, deeply ashamed.
So the BBC also did a little hit piece on Assange.
Assange.
And I... I can't figure out, maybe you can figure it out for me, but I don't know what the point of it was.
But play the Assange clip here, which I think introduced new information that's bogus.
We started coming across really interesting information about collusion between the Pakistani intelligence service and the Taliban.
So this was rich stuff that was buried in this database.
If you want to see it on the map, you can always use the other one.
But there was growing tension with Assange.
All of us came across material which was clearly likely to lead to the death of innocent civilians if we published it.
All of us had the experience of bringing this to his attention and being told by him, in effect, if an Afghan civilian helps coalition forces, then they deserve to die.
Does Assange understand that there are flesh and blood consequences to the action?
Yeah, I think I get it.
This is to condition human resources that freedom of speech has consequences.
Except there are consequences for which you should go to jail for.
I think that's what this is.
It's just conditioning like if you are a whistleblower or if you have information that you believe is pertinent to injustice and things that are very wrong, that by you saying that you are killing people and therefore you are a murderer and you should be hung.
Well, I think it's interesting that this is Nick Davies from The Guardian, one of the three papers that got the entire database.
Right.
Or seemingly so.
Whatever it is.
Advertising.
Advertising.
And he said that Assange was said, apparently, he says, the key is, he says, if you play that little end again, he says, Assange was told that this is going to kill people.
He says, well, if they're in collusion, then they deserve to die.
Let's listen.
Had the experience of bringing this to his attention and being told by him, in effect, if an Afghan civilian helps coalition forces, then they deserve to die.
In effect.
He says, in effect.
In effect.
In other words, he didn't say that.
Right.
It's not what he said.
In effect.
So it's a bullcrap quote.
He says, in effect said.
You know, I love it when you do that, John, because...
Because words do matter.
I love that.
Well, you know, maybe Assange is just time for him to be taken out.
He's a CIA asset.
Yeah, I think there was a message in here.
Yeah, it's like, goodbye.
Well, he's been very quiet on the Assange front, hasn't it?
Oh, yeah.
There's not a lot going on.
He's laying low for probably pretty good reasons.
Yeah, you know, for like a predator drone, everybody.
I'm going to show myself mood by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Yeah, on your agenda in the morning.
So we do have some donors, producers, that helped us out on this show, this particular show on Sunday.
Joe Cool Design came in with $111.11 from Princeton, Ontario, Canada.
Joe Cool Design.
Lisa Julian, another one of our female listeners, From Clovis, New Mexico, $111.11.
She's also a new donor.
Robert Simpson, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, $111.11.
Dear Crackpot and Buzzkill, I'm the guy who created the autopark.com iPhone app to avoid having to fiddle with the app when leaving the car.
The version 1.1 update should be approved and in the app store soon.
Check it out.
This helps you find your car, I think, in a parking lot.
Is that right?
Yes, it does.
Yep, that's exactly what it does.
Justin Seitz in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, it gave me and my entire family so much entertainment hearing John mispronounce my name.
Seitz?
Seitz?
I don't know.
I would say Seitz.
Yeah, Seitz.
Seitz.
Seitz.
We'd probably make more money in the show for my mispronunciations of last names than we do for anything else, including our great initiatives.
With the rest of my money in my PayPal account, I would like the karma for my brother Andrew, who I'm hitting in the mouth for his amateur cycling career so he can go pro.
You've got karma.
He wants to reload the account and join the 33333 Club and on the night who would love the rings because of your show regretting for falling for Obama's pony show.
Pony show.
Say hello everybody!
Would you like a ride on the pony?
I thought we were referring to Anthony Weiner.
Would you like a ride on my pony?
Brant Weaver, Hanover, Pennsylvania.
Double nickels on the dime for magic 33rd birthday shout out.
Jerry from Andy Butch and Brant.
Take two beers and jump, he says.
Bradley Serbu, Naples, Florida, $50.
Gary Barnick in Glendive, Montana.
Hi, John and Ann.
We'd like to wish my husband, Gary, a happy Father's Day.
He loves your show and even has our three young children brainwashed into listening.
Nice!
And by the way, that's not brainwashing.
It's not brainwashing.
This is releasing them from potential brainwashing in the future since they're young, including we need a shout-out to Joey.
Hey, Joey, in the morning.
Hey, Joey.
Joey, how you doing?
In the morning.
Joey, how you doing?
Hot pockets.
Oh, jeez.
Yeah, of course.
Hot pockets.
And Abby's five.
Hi, Abby.
And baby Josh doesn't show much interest yet.
Baby who?
Josh.
Baby Josh, like, what?
Maybe just sing him a Wiggles song.
I don't know what that is.
Baby Joss is probably like the baby on the Family Guy.
Yeah.
Stewie.
It's like Stewie.
Stewie, yeah.
Like Stewie.
George Vanderhorst, Black Knight, Georgia.
I just got to stop here by George.
So we have a breakdown in communication.
There's something going very wrong, which I'm a little perturbed about.
Okay.
Okay, so I often get...
I think there was more donations.
In fact, I believe there was a female donor who sent a 314 Pie Club donation.
I've been forwarding these to The Shill, but I guess he's not forwarding them...
You know, he's like feeding Henri, and he's not forwarding them on to Buzzkill Jr.
Look in your email right now, John, because I just forwarded you the line that Sir George, our Black Knight, and I have to honor the Knights...
Wanted you to read on behalf of him and Dame Audrey for this donation.
And so we have stuff slipping through the cracks and this is not okay.
Okay, so am I supposed to forward stuff to Buzzkill Jr.?
What's going on?
Yeah, I think you have to send it to Buzzkill Jr.
Okay, well thanks for the memo.
This is not in the meeting notes.
Please pick up your email and read this because this is what...
I'm looking at my email now and I'm not seeing anything from you.
Yes, look in your spam.
I looked in the spam.
There it is, Sir George.
In the spam?
Yes.
No, in the regular one.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, here we go, Sir George.
Ready?
Yep.
What?
There's no N in Father Dog.
Father dog. Father dog. Father dog.
In therein gives water.
And Denkins has it water dog.
Dus niet.
Zoeken maar.
Ophosten met die centen.
What?
Hoera, het is vader dag.
Iedereen geeft water en dekens.
Het is Vaderdag, dus niet zuigen, maar ophoesten met die centen.
Ja?
Same to you.
Hurrah, it's Father's Day.
Everybody's giving water and blankets.
It's Father's Day, so don't suck.
Cough up the dough.
Your version, however, fodder dog, is great.
It's fodder dog.
This is a new retail holiday we're implementing.
Fodder dog.
Well, that's good because we have Nate Dog.
And we've got Father Dog.
They're in Afghanistan, so it's a dog day.
And apologies to the, because I know a female listener sent in some money.
She'll get her credit on Thursday.
Yeah, we've got to fix the supply chain.
Unless she's a member of the 314 Club, we need to know that.
Yeah, well, I'm doing a show here.
Bayfield, Wisconsin, Haley Webster, $50.
Kelly Spears in Brook Park, Ohio, $50.
Yeah, there you go.
PayPal, leave my message.
Can you have a memo from her?
Yeah.
But I sent the memo, I sent it on to the shill.
Okay, well the shill is out of business.
I didn't know that!
Well, it's okay, so there's one show you got some, do you have the memo in front of you?
No, of course I don't.
Okay, well, that's the whole problem.
She says she emailed it to you and you're the one that collects these things.
No, and then I forward it on to shill so he can put it in the spreadsheet.
Well, she could just send it straight to him.
Tanya Wayman.
Dame Tanya.
Wayman.
Sorry, Tanya.
New York.
Triple threat donation in addition to the mothership plan.
One honor of Citizen X joining the Big 40 Club on 619.
That's today.
That's today.
We have a birthday thing there.
A karma shout out to Eric DeShiel for doing such a fabulous job on the rings.
Yeah, yeah.
Great job on everything there.
You've got karma.
She loves hers.
Yep.
And by the way, Mickey loves hers too because that's now her engagement ring.
To you guys, the last month's show has been so good.
A whole new level, she says.
What is the difference?
What have we done differently?
I'd like to know.
She doesn't say.
She has to be more specific.
Please dissect that and deconstruct it and let us know so we can do more of it.
And finally, Tim Humer in Pelzer, South Carolina.
Hello, everybody.
I'm sure we have a birthday you have to put on here.
I'm sure my donation will go further than a donation to have dinner with Barack.
I'd like to raise a ham's beer to my sister, Katie, and wish her a happy birthday, so put her on the list.
Okay, Tim...
See, this is, you know...
Katie Hummer.
I understand.
Humor, sorry.
Yeah, but, you know, we gotta...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Well, look, if I forget to post...
We can't spend all this time.
You could have found the email by the time you're griping and carping.
It's on another computer.
I'm in the studio here, and it's like, you know, it's not like I'm not doing anything.
Well, actually.
Anyway.
So we'll fix all that.
Well, it doesn't matter because it wasn't all that much.
Yeah, it wasn't that much.
Normally, if you have a long list, I can run around, I can go poop, I can do all kinds of things.
Are you telling me you pooped during the show?
No.
I did register PoopBurger.com.
Uh...
No, that'll be our fallback when the show folds.
And there's a site there, too.
I've put up a site.
Or the picture of the guy?
Yeah, the story.
And, yeah, poopburger.com.
I can't believe that wasn't registered.
You know?
It's the future of food, everybody.
Well, we of course appreciate everyone who supports this program.
We are a non-commercial entity, which means we can talk about anything.
We're not going to kick off the air for saying something that a sponsor doesn't like.
People can't go after our sponsors.
The only thing they can do is cut us off.
And that, of course, will eventually happen.
So please continue to support this program, support the work that we do, which is watching an awful lot of C-SPAN and very bad television.
And quite honestly, it's hard because, you know, you have to shield yourself.
Imagine if you had to watch all the crap that we watch, how much that would hurt.
It's pretty bad.
Yeah, it is pretty bad.
And the place to do that is well known on the interwebs.
And of course, happy Father's Day and karma to all the daddies out there who are getting their nails painted by their daughters today.
It's a very, very big day.
It's a birthday birthday on no agenda.
Brent Weaver pulls out the Lucky 33.
Happy 33rd birthday to Jerry from Andy, Butch, and Brent.
Take two beers and jump, everybody.
And, of course, Citizen X turns 40 today.
We're very happy to have Dame Tanya proudly displaying her night ring.
And Tim Humor says happy birthday to Katie.
And, of course, happy birthday from all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
Yeah, those rings are great.
Rings.nashownotes.com is where you can go and take a look at them.
I think someone mentioned they might be made of tungsten.
Somebody said it's supposed to be white gold.
It is white gold.
But it could be tungsten.
Oh, well, it could be.
They are heavy, though.
There's like five ounces of gold in there, isn't there, John?
Yeah, I actually gained a half an inch on my bicep just lifting my hand.
Yay!
Actually, it is a very nice one.
Before I pull on my sword, do we have C.G. Meyer?
Is he another new knight?
Because I see the knight head.
Did we get a note from him, or is that the math that's gotten us?
What do you want me to say?
How much more do I have to harp on the fact that we have to work a little bit on...
Well, I mean, because we knight him, we could put it off to make sure...
No, no, no.
We have two knights.
And he might prefer that, but...
We've got two knights here, okay?
That's the way I'm doing it, and I'm sticking by it, and otherwise it can get figured out.
Please draw your sword already.
Thank you.
So long...
John GQ, Nate Dogmeyer, Step Forward plays along with Taylor Stewart.
Both of you have successfully completed your support of the No Agenda program in the amount of $1,000 or an access thereof.
That means that not only do you receive that fine white gold tungsten night ring, you are also now hereby both officially Knight to the No Agenda Roundtable, Sir GQ and Sir Taylor Stewart.
Knights of the Noah General Roundtable.
Please enjoy your hookers and blows, chardonnay and rent boys, whatever your preference may be.
We have Sir C.G. and Sir G.Q. Is that weird or what?
Who's C.G.? C.G., if you look at the spreadsheet, is the name that C.G. Meyer wants to be known as a knight for.
Where's C.G.? It's on the spreadsheet.
It says Sir G.C.Q. It says right there.
I've got G.Q. G.Q. is the other.
It's Nate.
I am so confused.
Did I just knight the wrong people?
Well, I think you knighted Nate twice, maybe.
I knighted Newt.
Nate got knighted twice.
I knighted Nate, and then I knighted Taylor Stewart.
Am I missing anyone else?
Taylor Stewart?
I thought it was C.G. Meyer that was going to get knighted.
I got Taylor Stewart here on the list.
On my spreadsheet, it's got the knighthead right next to C.G. Meyer, and it says Sir C.G. No, it's...
No, it's...
I have here Taylor Stewart with a knighthead on my spreadsheet.
Huh.
Yeah.
C.G. Meyer is already a knight.
No, I did it right.
Thank goodness.
Okay.
You got a memo.
All right, you got it right.
I had it all right.
I'm calling for a meeting.
No.
No.
No meaning.
I'd rather be bickering.
It becomes content.
Yeah, it does.
It's better if it's content.
Alright, I know we have your segment coming up, so I just want to get a couple things up.
No, you know what?
Screw it, everybody.
John's gonna hum the Sunday Times.
John's gonna hum the Sunday Times, everybody.
Now, my friend, we switch over to Berkeley, California, and there waiting for us with his weekly segment that we all enjoy so much is the consultant to the No Agenda podcast, John C. Dvorak.
Hello, John, as we turn the camera on you.
How are you?
You gotta say thank you, Adam.
Thanks, Adam.
Sure.
What you got for us?
Looking at the front page, it's Sunday, June 19th, Sunday Times.
We have a typical bonehead photo, which shows Obama pointing off camera at something.
And on the same course for once, you know, it's like a pun, and they're standing there with a banner, and apparently the two of them went golfing.
And then there's kind of a feel-good story, Deeper, by Helene Cooper.
And apparently the foursome, quote...
The foursome had a great time and really enjoyed playing golf at the Joint Base Andrews today, the White House said.
The President and Speaker Boehner teamed up to beat the Vice President and Governor Cash.
And the match was won on the 18th hole, and the President and the Speaker won $2 each.
That is what passes for news in the New York Times, the top of the whole thing.
By the way, in other countries, golf is still deemed as a very elitist sport.
We may think it's really normal here.
It's not normal here.
It's elitist.
Okay, just checking.
So it's a bunch of elite douchebags doing elite douchebag stuff on our dime.
Alright, so we have five stories besides that one.
Backlog of cases gives a reprieve on foreclosures, and this is just kind of a, apparently they're going to be so slow on getting foreclosures done.
I'm not, I tried to deconstruct this one, I looked at the inside to figure out what the point of it was, but it just shows, I guess it's Just indicating to the public that there's a reprise of getting thrown out of your house and there may be soft peddling the fact that the banks are screwing people.
That could be.
Justice and the Magnet.
This is the key article in today's paper is a hit piece on Justice Clarence Thomas, one of the worst...
One of the worst kind of hit pieces I've ever seen done by a writer, Mike McIntyre, who apparently only does articles that are kind of targeted at, for example, if you look at the kind of articles he writes in the New York Times, he supposedly brought in as an investigative reporter, but his articles are all hit pieces.
Institute for Liberty, here's some of his articles in the past.
Tea Party with a Business Agenda.
Top Corporations Aid U.S. Chamber of Commerce Campaign.
American Future spends millions on campaign, and it just goes on and on about all these right-wing operations.
So they do this incredible hit piece on Thomas.
And it's based on the fact, this just kills me.
I've never seen anything quite so blatant.
Apparently, Thomas had some, and if you can find the photo of this, some old fart in the middle of nowhere.
He had a cannery some years ago, and the guy was moaning to Thomas, I guess, in some meeting.
I don't know how this guy would ever get into any of these meetings.
The guy basically looks like a hobo.
And Thomas said, well, I'll put you in touch with a friend of mine.
And this friend of Thomas' is this guy, Harlan Crowe, a Dallas real estate magnate.
And he built this, you know, a museum for this character.
And so they're blasting Thomas for setting this up because he shouldn't have any friends, apparently.
And so they do it by creating a...
This is interesting.
You have to deconstruct this article, people, because this is done very coyly.
First, you establish a fact that has nothing to do with the guy you're talking about.
And then you put him up against a false premise.
And then you very slowly, over time, pull out the rug from the false premise and then associate him with the premise.
And here's what it is.
Wow, let me just get this straight.
Okay, I got it.
Now, let me...
Here's what they did.
They said...
I'll just read the...
The quote.
Let me summarize because it's a little too long to read.
Apparently there is a series of ethics that federal judges have to abide by.
These ethics do not apply to the Supreme Court.
Now hold on a second.
The only thing you haven't done here is you haven't given the background of the issue with Clarence Thomas.
Clarence Thomas is a Supreme Court judge.
He's a Supreme Court justice who is a conservative, black conservative, and this cannot stand.
We cannot put up with that.
Well, he was also the guy who, when he was in confirmations, a woman named Anita Hill claimed that she had been sexually harassed by him.
There was a pubic hair on her Coke can, and he kept talking about the porn movie Long Dong Silver.
Exactly.
This guy's been under attack for a while.
In fact, he's even under attack by us because we see his association with Monsanto and we don't like that.
He was a lawyer for Monsanto, yes.
They don't do anything about that because heaven forbid you'd bring that up.
They're trying to get him from other perspectives that they feel are more legitimate.
So anyway, you take this, they say there's this ethical stuff, and the Supreme Court guys don't have to abide by it.
But some of them supposedly say they adhere to it, but whether they do or not is another story.
So what you do now is you say, and it goes like this.
Here's the ethics, and here's the, for federal judges, the Supreme Court judges don't have to go by these ethics.
But if they did...
And then they start slamming him for not going by these rules that he doesn't have to abide by to the point where they get to this sentence.
This is a big article, by the way.
They get to this.
Beyond the code, talking about the ethics, this is like the beginning of a paragraph near the end where they're wrapping it up.
Beyond the code, the justices must comply with laws applying to all federal officials that prohibit conflicts of interest and require disclosure, blah, blah, blah.
Now they've made the assumption that he's supposed to abide by this code by this point in the article.
They turn it around halfway through is what you're saying.
Then you're a douchebag.
Even though you don't have to do it.
But of course they have to adhere to ethics.
I agree.
They don't have to adhere to the same ethics.
That's the point.
You have ethics that you have to adhere to.
Why do you have to adhere to somebody else's ethics?
Wait a minute, but they don't have to adhere to ethics?
They have their own...
Actually, the Supreme Court justices don't have to adhere to anything.
They're a standalone...
They're a standalone, one of the tri-part, you know, we have a government that has three segments.
It's got the legislature that doesn't have to work for the president.
They have the Supreme Court that doesn't have to work for the president or for you, for that matter.
They can do whatever the hell they want, to be honest about it.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
What are the three branches of government?
Legislature, executive, and justice.
That's it.
That's how the U.S. works.
Just checking.
They don't need to, they don't have to go with federal, which is part of the Justice Department.
They don't have, they're not part of the Justice Department.
They don't work for the head of the Justice Department.
They work, they have their own, it's an old standalone segment.
They don't have to abide by any of this crap.
They can just say, fuck you, and do whatever they want to be honest about it.
And so can Congress, by the way.
But no, no, we're going to hold them to some standards because what we're trying to do is turn this into a kingdom so there's only one real important branch of government, and that's the executive branch.
And I have, in fact, I've got a real interesting quote, which I keep forgetting to add to the show, where we have congresswomen, Barbara Lee over here, talking about, you know, Obama, you know, he's more important than they are, which is bullcrap.
And that's what this is doing.
This whole article is designed to demean the segment of government the way that Congress has done for itself and give all the power to the president.
So the president can just do whatever he wants.
He can write laws.
He can do hell with the 10th Amendment and do whatever he wants.
That's basically what this is.
Throw hell fires on brown people and sand.
Alright, I'm not going to go on it.
People can read it for themselves.
They can read all the crap in there.
Wow.
You're upset.
How many of these are you going to do?
There's only five.
That one's the big one.
Was that first?
We got four more of these?
No, that's the third.
That's the second one.
I got two more.
Okay.
Three more, actually.
The third one.
I'll do the last one because it's short and I'll cut it down so you won't get too upset.
Please just don't get too upset.
Pop in traditional circumstance.
Front page articles about homeschooling and how they're now setting up the homeschoolers to have graduation exercises.
And this is nothing more than a promotion for people who sell cap and gowns, okay?
Wait a minute.
Can we sell no agenda cap and gowns?
I think we should.
Yeah, sounds like a premium to me.
Then we have a crazy article about how Obama's kind of thinking about gay marriage and may reevaluate.
But meanwhile, he's got a bunch of dinners with various gay people that bring the gays in for a $1,200 a plate meal and he'll think about approving gay marriage, which he'll never do.
Hello, that's the rich gays.
Rich gaze.
Yeah.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Stop!
I've got to be able to respond.
Hello, everybody.
As you know, I repealed don't ask, don't tell.
Kind of.
So, uh, don't send, give me your cash.
Alright, thank you.
The last front page articles, and by the way, you know how kids say pewter instead of computer?
Pewter.
Now they've got kyda.
Kaida?
Yeah, Kaida.
You don't say Al-Qaeda, you just say Kaida?
The headline says Kaida.
How do you spell it?
Q-A-E-D-A. Kaida.
All right.
Kaida woes fuel talk of speeding Afghan pullback.
And the key is, this is a bogus article too, essentially it says, The first paragraph, as Obama administration nears the crucial decision on how rapidly to withdraw.
How rapidly?
Is he going to withdraw at all?
No, 5,000.
I've predicted 5,000 troops, no more, no less.
That's what we say.
I know.
We came up with a memo.
We found the memo.
But they're trying to make it sound as those actions taking place.
So the discussion is about how rapid as opposed to whether or not he will in the first place.
And then they try to make him look like some great...
It makes him sound like Hitler, by the way.
Because they go on and on about how he's decided this and he's decided that.
That fellow has decided!
Let me just read this.
This will wrap it up.
Because I thought this was just gentle.
Just listen to this.
The officials interviewed Friday made no attempt to disguise their belief that the counter-terrorism campaign, which was favored by...
Vice President Biden has outperformed the more troop-intensive counterinsurgency campaign pushed by Gates, Petraeus, and other top military planners.
And then when you go three paragraphs further down, you read this.
When Mr.
Obama decided on December 2009, same as the other one, to go with the more ambitious plan backed by the Pentagon, in other words, Gates, Petraeus, and the rest of them, It's like they say he didn't do it, then they say he did it.
The president said he would allow 18 months to test these concepts.
So, they say he didn't do it, then they say he did it.
And then when they say that these guys were all for whatever Obama had, they had these spokespeople for Obama, it turns out there'd be a guy in the National Security Council, who's the guy who works for Obama, if I'm not mistaken.
So this article is just, this article is the poorest piece that I've seen on the front page.
Now this of course is the New York Times, the paper of record for these United States of Gitmo Nation.
This is, in history we'll prove.
When the anthropologists are going through the notes, they'll say, wow.
Meanwhile, they have a little snippet at the bottom and then at the very bottom of the front page of the New York Times is a huge ad for Citi.
When do you put big advertisers on the front page of your paper?
When did that start?
When they pay for the news.
When they pay for whatever...
I'm sure there's a big President Obama...
Well, they support all the candidates.
They don't give a crap.
So they have these little bitty hits at the bottom, and one of them includes Rick Perry draws GOP praise.
Thank you for your praise!
Not for us.
And don't you listen to them heathens, Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, because I want America to prosper.
I could get more worked up about this, but I'm through.
And then let's end up the segment, everybody.
John's gonna hum the Sunday time.
And we apologize.
We just apologize in general.
So, there was some C-SPAN action.
Now, this past week, and there was two hours and 18 minutes, which of course is announced as, this program will last about two hours and 18 minutes and 37 seconds.
And it was about radicalization in the United States prison system.
Oh, I saw this.
Now, I have two very short clips from this, which I think are relevant.
And I could have pulled a couple more, but it's all posturing.
But it's such an incredible coincidence.
Coincidence?
I think not!
That amidst this, we should have some kind of radicalized military person go out with some white powder right near the Pentagon.
And the news report was fantastic.
Because it started off, and CNN had the best We found the guy, and he said it was aluminum nitrate, but it wasn't.
And he had a notebook with the words Taliban and Al-Qaeda scribbled in it.
He said it was aluminum or ammonium.
Ammonium.
Whatever he said it was, the report literally said it wasn't.
Yeah, it's ammonium probably.
Ammonium, yeah.
And then ABC pulls out all the stops.
22-year-old Marine Lance Corporal is behind bars tonight in a Washington, D.C. terror scare.
The area around the Pentagon was thrown into chaos this morning by a backpack loaded with suspicious materials.
The FBI says he apparently acted alone, but who was he?
And what exactly was his planned senior justice correspondent?
Pierre Thomas has been on this story all day.
Dine, it was a tense morning here at the Pentagon as police feared they had uncovered a terrorist plot.
Now they're racing to find out to see if the suspect was mentally unstable or a lone wolf terrorist.
Lone wolf, everybody!
There it is.
They put the legislation, they put the words lone wolf, and now we're using the word lone wolf.
This poor guy, this poor guy is probably like, who knows what it was?
Flower.
Flower.
Or something.
And of course, I'm sure we'll turn out he'll be Muslim.
Well, I know.
I'm looking at the article that's in one of the...
It's ridiculous.
But in Lone Wolf, they're just pulling it out.
Lone Wolf.
Yeah.
Lone Wolf.
Now...
Suspicious items were found in his car.
Suspicious, yes.
He was a lone wolf, acted alone.
You know, he did not get certified for fitness, so therefore, oh no.
He fell off the radar.
All of these great memes that they're pushing on us.
But this is no coincidence, my friends.
This happens during the congressional hearings about radicalization in our prison system.
Let's go to the videotape.
What I'd like to first start off with is, Mr.
Downing, if you could just tell me a little bit more about the radicalization process within the prisons themselves.
Can you kind of comment on that and how someone becomes radicalized?
Inside the prison systems.
Well, it's not too far from how a gang member goes through the process to become a gang member, where there's an orientation, there's an identification, there's an indoctrination process, and then there's a type of radicalization that goes through.
But it's the people, it's the charismatic leaders, it's the materials, it's the places of association that contribute to that.
And we have evidence where we've seen a little bit of convergence with the gangs.
We have a higher African-American prison population that is being converted.
And we've seen this come out onto the streets in terms of convert mosques coming up in the different communities as well.
So, let me just get this straight.
So, all black men who are in prison, probably for smoking weed, they get identified, indoctrinated, and they get sent to the mosque, and then they're Al-Qaeda.
Yeah, well...
Yeah, I know.
And the funny thing is I saw this hearing and they had the one guy came out with actual numbers.
Yeah.
And the numbers were nothing.
And meanwhile, the other guy, the best guy, was the first guy who had all the hairy, scary information about this guy and all individual little one-shot cases.
And I thought the whole thing was that, you know, this is Peter King again, who's doing all this Muslim...
Hearings at the Congress to prove that we're under a threat from within.
That's right, because we've got the new CEO, the Kaida CEO, and we've got to all be afraid of terror.
Now there's another piece of gut here.
The process of radicalization, particularly Islamic radicalization in the prison system, is very, very selective.
It's a filtering process.
It does not occur with 500 inmates in the yard of Attica yelling jihad.
The facilitators and the recruiters that are in the system have the unique ability of profiling.
They are able to spot an individual who walks into a cell block for the very first time, and they can tell what that person, if he has...
First of all, they know he has a propensity for violence because he's already committed to crime.
They know that he's somewhat by himself, and so he wants a sense of purpose to his life.
They do all this profiling within the first day that they meet him, and then they begin to disciple first to convert him, then to move him When he's going to be released to an Islamic mosque that they've recommended to him, and then from there if he continues to move him to an Islamic center either in Virginia or in Florida, and then from there to filter him to overseas travel for continued studies.
Why is it Virginia and Florida, by the way?
Did you figure that one out?
Well, yeah, of course.
It's the pickle factory.
So you've got to go to CIA headquarters or you go to Florida where the other CIA assets learn how to fly airplanes.
Of course, it's so douchebag.
It's insulting.
Even to me, a disc jockey, it's insulting to me.
Imagine if someone's smart.
I found out something very disturbing, John.
We've been, of course, using the slogan, which is very important.
We've been trying to sell this jingle to Department of Homeland Security.
We think it's worth about as much as an $18 million website.
Did you know that we are in violation of the law by using that jingle?
Why?
Why?
Because the If You See Something, Say Something campaign is trademarked by New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority and is licensed to the Department of Homeland Security for a nationwide campaign.
In fact, if you go to the Department of Homeland Security website, DHS.gov.
By the way, you have to do www.dhs.gov because it's not configured the other way.
Wait a minute.
Are you telling me they can't even configure a website so the DNS recognizes it without the www?
Go ahead.
Try DHS.gov.
Okay.
Go ahead and try it.
I'm going to try it.
Hang on.
Oops.
It came up.
No!
You can't find the server.
You've got to do www.
That is lame.
Yeah, that's very lame.
Wait a minute!
If you see something, say something!
Oh, hi.
I saw that your server is misconfigured.
Now look at the top story.
It says, Department of Homeland Security launched a new partnership with the U.S. Golf Association to bring the If You See Something, Say Something, and it has the little TM trademark symbol next to it.
Yeah, I see that.
It's not a circle R, though, so it's still under advisement.
It's a trademark.
Yeah, but it's not a Circle R, which means it hasn't been approved.
Yeah, but they're not far away.
So we can still use it before...
You know what?
We could get a cease and desist.
Yeah, I hope.
I hope so, too.
That'd be great.
Yeah, what a promotion.
I'm thinking, by the way...
You know, you sent me, we actually had an email exchange, not about anything important, but about this new streaming law that essentially if you stream content, you're going to go to jail.
Does that sum it up?
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you stream content that is licensed and not yours and you don't have the rights to do it, you're going to go to jail.
Because it's, according to Joe Biden, it's the same as breaking the window at Tiffany's and grabbing the jewelry.
Yeah.
That's literally what he said.
That's what he said.
So I'm thinking, and by the way, there's a couple things to play.
I read your article, I don't know if it was PCMag, about digital receivers, internet radio receivers.
Yeah, probably PCMag.
PCMag.
Nice article, short.
That's how I like them.
And nice plug for No Agenda in there.
That's good.
Good boy.
But I was reading this, and I also, yesterday, I was cruising down to my barber.
Had the top down, listened to the No Agenda stream.
It was really interesting.
It was an interview with GX2 about his album, which is out.
And, you know, about how he created the tracks and all this stuff.
And I was like, you know, if you take that, it's very hard to compete with iPods and iPhones and Zunes and MP3 players and Top 40 Radio and all this.
We should just be out and out competing with NPR. Because it was so painful for me to listen to NPR that one day I was stuck in traffic.
I think we should change the stream to All Talk.
I think we should just change the format overnight, go All Talk.
Because that's something we can compete at, because we've got interesting talk, and there's a lot of shows we can put on.
But the music, I just don't think we can compete.
What do you think?
No, and also the music...
We're going to go to jail!
Well, besides that, but they haven't passed the law yet.
But when they do, obviously we have to go all talk.
But I also don't think that our music is eclectic enough that it maintains the broad-based audience that talk does.
And our talk is not interrupted by commercials.
So I think we need to seriously consider doing a format change.
And we're going to go all Elvis all the time!
That'd be funny.
We could do all Don Ho all the time.
We should do a full 24 hours of Don Ho.
We should, yeah, just to finish off.
Oh, wait a minute.
Don't you have every version of Louie Louie?
I have pretty much all, yeah.
I think I do now.
How many hours?
A few new ones I didn't know existed.
How many hours of that do you have?
It's a couple hours.
It's not 24 hours that I know of.
We should just all out blow out Louie Louie 24-7 everybody.
Hey everybody, it's the Louie Louie station.
How you doing?
We're going all talk, but first, it's a whole weekend of Louie Louie!
Dun-dun-dun.
Dun-dun-dun.
Dun-dun.
Well, anyway, so that's something to consider.
I got a couple of them.
This one here is interesting because it brings up a bunch of weird issues.
Local school had a yearbook that they released and now they pulled a yearbook back because supposedly in the background...
I read this story, yeah.
There was a guy feeling up his girlfriend, which is all I can assume that was happening.
It was blurry.
Nobody noticed it until one of the, I guess some kid noticed and chuckled about it.
And the next thing you know, they bring in the feds.
Students at a California high school are being told, turn in your yearbooks now or you could face child pornography charges.
What?
A picture in Big Bear High's yearbook shows a sex act.
The photographer captured an image showing a boy and a girl at a school dance.
The two were not in focus, so they were kind of ignored.
They are in the background, though.
Yearbook editors did not notice them.
Sex!
His hands were a bit up her skirt, above her area.
Can't you say vagina?
No.
So, it was not the best picture in the world.
Could be a collector's item, but most students return their yearbooks to be edited with a G-rated replacement page.
Big Bear Sheriff's deputies have now been dispatched to help collect the rest of those naughty yearbooks.
Naughty, naughty, naughty, naughty!
Now, here's the question on my mind.
The child porn laws are pretty strict.
Is this an Ask Adam, or is it a...
Yeah, let's make it an Ask Adam.
Okay.
That's the worst one.
Okay.
That was like four at the same time.
So the child porn laws are pretty strict.
If you receive child pornography, somebody plants it on your computer or something, you can be arrested just for having it.
Yeah.
For just having it, you can be arrested.
For distributing it, It's extremely, even if you don't know, if you don't know anybody, because remember there's that one porn star that turns out she was 17, even though she looks like she's 25.
They had to pull all her videos.
She's very famous.
I can't remember her name, though.
So if that's the case, just having it or reproducing it or sending it out, whether you know it or not, even if you don't know it, it's still illegal.
Why isn't the principal and the school people being arrested right now if this is indeed child porn and child porn distribution?
So this is an Ask Adam so I get to answer.
Are you insane?
This is not about that.
This is about ratings.
This is about, hey, let's talk about feeling her up.
Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. Sex, sex, sex, sex.
It's all that it's about.
We're obsessed because we're suppressed and sexually frustrated in this country.
That's what this is about.
Okay, one more short clip then.
We'll just let that one slide.
Did you know Eisenhower was a communist?
Well, I know.
I did not.
Is there some proof?
Pastel came to deliver a speech to some newspaper editors, but the visit was something more like an invasion in its own right.
A charm offensive.
He and his bearded entourage arrived in Washington, loaded with Cuban cigars and cases of Cuban rum, and Castro spent most of his visit hugging and smiling and saying all the right things.
There were some Americans, including some in the Eisenhower administration, including Dwight Eisenhower himself, who had pretty serious concerns about Eisenhower, mainly that he was a communist in the making.
This must have been on C-SPAN 3.
That's C-SPAN telling us that even Eisenhower thought he was a communist in the making.
Faking, very interesting.
You don't have to.
Anyway.
So that's categorized.
and Categorized as a funny gaffe.
We listen to so much C-SPAN that we can collect these kinds of blunders and propagate them.
I'm thinking C-SPAN is a public domain.
We could even put some C-SPAN on the stream.
Only?
No, it's not true.
I looked into this.
Oh, I think you can.
You can't put their programming, but if it's congressional testimony, then you can put it on.
But that's the funniest.
You can't put their specials on like that thing where the Rick Perry douchebag clip, that's the C-SPAN owns that.
But we'll do comedy.
We'll do our own version.
Well, you can now in that one.
And Yellow Jacket can do his comedy hour.
It's all cool.
And we can have interviews with bands and stuff.
We have to compete.
We're not competing.
We're just being disc jockeys.
This is not a way to win the war.
Okay, so Greece...
Nice to you, Adam.
Yes, thank you very much, Wolf.
Greece is collapsing as we speak.
And, of course, it's...
Well, this clip actually tells you the exposure to the U.S. banking system and financial system.
This is from Xiambi Xi, everybody.
We obviously are monitoring this regularly.
We consider it a headwind.
This, by the way, is a spokeshole for the White House, James, Tony Carvey, whatever, Dana Carvey.
And if you will, in terms of the global economy and therefore the domestic economy.
So we're monitoring the situation, developments in Greece closely.
But at least one U.S. bank regulator is worried about more than headwinds.
Sheila Baer, the chairman of the FDIC, said today she is concerned about hundreds of billions of dollars in debt of troubled countries held by U.S. and European banks, including $30 billion in Greek debt held by American banks.
The risk is that you're going to have a systemic banking collapse in the Eurozone, and if that happens, quite clearly that is going to draw in very large financial institutions in the United States as well.
Analysts fear a contagion in Greek and European finances could create losses for our banks and make lending here even tighter than it is now.
They are speculating that Greece will need another massive bailout soon to be truly stabilized.
That's right, everybody.
Greece is the word.
That's all you've got to know.
I think it's all a promotion for Greece 3, John.
That's all there is.
Frankie Valli's making a comeback.
Thank you.
Okay.
All right.
Well, I got a funny story.
We haven't done this for a while.
Planes bad, trains good.
Oh, actually, I have one of those as well.
Oh!
Yeah, I do.
All aboard!
Trains good, planes bad.
Just to give our new listeners a little background, trains are unnecessary in the United States, according to our opinion, and it's only to enrichen and embolden Warren Buffett, who owns Burlington Northern, and all these high-speed rail are farce, and it will be used to transport freight and slaves to the FEMA camps.
They have the idea is these BNSF and all the rest of these companies, they don't want to put in their own tracks because it's too expensive, so they want to stick the public with building high-speed rail tracks, which no one will use, and then so the freight guys will take it over and they'll get a free pass on all the expenses and it'll make the bottom line look great.
And it's probably not a bad investment.
And Warren Buffett is not stupid, so he knows the plan, that's why he's invested in it.
But meanwhile, so we have a lot of stories.
Even though this one is just more humorous than anything, you can hit it.
What am I hitting?
The hilarious plane.
Bad story.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know that.
I was looking for a train clip.
It was a plane.
All right, got it.
A Bay Area man kicked off a plane and arrested for wearing saggy pants.
Tonight, the airline says it stands by its decision.
As Mark Sayre reports, some passengers are asking if the punishment fits the crime.
Mark.
Well, Dana, still no criminal charges filed in this case.
A spokesperson for the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office here in Rubwood City tells us that the office has now asked the San Francisco Police Department to do some more investigation of this case before the DA here decides what, if any, charges will be filed.
Wearing number 32 in this video is Deshaun Marmon, playing for the University of New Mexico Lobos.
San Francisco police say Marmon was arrested after he refused orders from a U.S. Airways flight crew to get off a plane because he was wearing baggy pants with his boxers showing.
Police first made contact with the captain.
A passenger on board of the aircraft had walked on with his underwear showing, so he explained that his pants were down below his crotch and that he refused to pull his pants up and the captain wanted him off of the aircraft for being disruptive.
Police say Marmon eventually walked off the plane voluntarily, but then allegedly resisted arrest when he was on the jetway.
There were three or four officers that had to grab his arms and put him on the ground, handcuff him.
During the handcuffing procedure, one of our officers had a slight laceration from the handcuffs and also twisted his knee in the struggle.
Oh!
Marmon had been home in San Francisco to speak at the funeral of his best friend.
His mom, Donna Doyle, says she received a frantic phone call from her son shortly after she dropped him off at the airport.
I'm in the police car.
I'm going down the freeway, going to the freeway.
For what?
Why?
He said they arrested me because I wouldn't pull up my pants.
In a statement, US Airways says, Yesterday, a passenger on board US Airways Flight 488 was removed from the aircraft and taken into custody after repeatedly ignoring crew members' instructions.
While US Airways does not have a specific dress code, we ask our customers to dress in an appropriate manner to ensure the safety and comfort of all of our passengers.
I feel that people should be comfortable.
U.S. Airways passenger Victor Reed says...
Hey, nice sound bite.
I feel that people should be more comfortable.
He's seen it all when it comes to passenger attire on planes, but in this case, he feels both sides likely overreacted.
Why would they take it personal if he wasn't causing any harm to anyone or anything?
To me, it was more or less of a fashion statement.
Now, Marvin is being held on charges of trespassing, battery of a police officer, and also obstruction of a police investigation.
Dana, if he is formally criminally charged by the district attorney's office here, we do expect that he will be in front of a judge for an arraignment as soon as tomorrow afternoon.
But at this point, no formal charges filed in this case.
Back to you.
In Redwood City, Mark Sayer.
So, let me guess.
He was black.
Yeah.
Of course.
Of course.
More racist behavior.
This is ridiculous.
You know, when a woman...
Don't you think that they charge him for obstructing a police investigation?
It's about him.
Give me a break with these bogus charges.
So if a woman walks on and her boobs are falling out, then that's okay?
It is by me.
It's the Hot Pockets.
I have a similar story, but this is from...
It's a train story.
And someone also was about to get...
They were about to stop the train.
Stop the train.
And so I have to set it up because I don't know how the audio is going to come across for you, John.
I know it'll be okay on the podcast and on the stream.
So there's a woman talking to her friend on the metro line.
And she drops the F-bomb in her conversation.
And this is all, so the discussion is all recorded on someone's iPhone.
And so the conductor comes over, and she says, you can't use those words or I'm going to stop the train.
Okay?
You with me?
Yeah!
The funny thing is, she actually says, acts instead of asks.
She can't even speak herself.
She doesn't even command the English language.
You mean the conductor?
The conductor.
I asked this woman not to use the F word.
The whole exchange is just outrageous.
I'm going to listen.
The conductor is talking to a security officer.
I'm sorry, please repeat me with anything.
The words I was being profaned with.
From my mouth?
Excuse me, do you know how well educated I am that you think I was talking in a private conversation to my friend about something?
I'm sorry, please stop the train then.
Please stop the train.
I would prefer that.
No, you are entertaining this.
I ride this train all the time.
In the morning, to work, and from work, all the time.
And I'll mention no to my parents' house and embarrass it.
But you claim that I... Oh, I touch you.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Now I need to be picked on.
Don't touch me.
Alright, please kick me off.
I do not.
I want my money back for riding this train.
Don't put your hands on me, kids.
Don't put your hands on me, slaves!
Don't touch me.
That's number one.
I don't need to touch you.
Get away from me.
Get away from me.
I was on my way walking away from you and decided to touch me.
So the whole thing is...
Catfight!
Catfight!
But the fact that a conductor can tell you to shut up and not use certain words is a little crazy.
Well, not only that, but stop the train and what, throw her out in the middle of nowhere, 25, you know, 100 miles north of Fresno or in the middle of the desert?
I mean, what is that supposed to mean?
Stop the train for what?
Yeah, this is just, well, first of all, and I have to say, the passenger, of course, is like, you know how educated I am.
Yeah, she's a douchebag.
She's a douchebag, too.
And I'm sure she's just a dick.
Yeah.
The point is, if it really went down the way the article reports, that she's talking to her friend and she drops the F-bomb and the conductor says, hey, you can't do that.
That's a little crazy.
But, you know, someone has a uniform and they've got a hole puncher.
And that's what this country is coming to.
Yay!
Luckily, we're not in Syria.
Because their next State Department has said, if you're in Syria, get out.
The British Foreign Office has said, if you're a British national and you're in Syria, get out.
What do you think that means, John?
It means we're headed in.
And we're not taking any responsibility if you get shot by a stray bullet.
...believes that a robust peacekeeping presence should be...
A central part of the security arrangements in...
I'm sorry, that's the wrong clip.
Oops, didn't mean to do that.
Yes.
I screwed that up.
Oh, God.
This is actually the next one.
I'm sorry.
I get confused with all the places we're invading.
I mean, having non-kinetic warfare.
I mean, kerfuffle.
Whatever.
Sudan is next.
That's what this clip is about.
Sudan.
The United States strongly believes that a robust peacekeeping presence should be We're good to go.
There you go.
United Nations, we're going into Sudan.
And Ethiopia's going to host it.
It's just...
I don't know where to start when I hear these things.
Well...
It just falls right into the pattern.
I don't see why it's anything other than that.
Well, because I'd like it to stop.
Oh!
That's what...
Apparently Gates is leaving and he'd like it to stop.
In fact, there was a story in the Sunday Times about it.
Gates is sick of it.
He basically says, I'm sick of these voluntary wars.
So he's leaving and I'm starting to notice, and you will too, and I think listeners out there will start to see more and more pieces demeaning, including that piece that was on the front page, kind of demeaning Gates.
Uh-huh.
As kind of, you know, because he's like, you know, I don't know a lot of people, if you work for a big corporation, you run into this a lot.
There's a guy, he's the greatest guy in the world.
He's working, he's one of your sales guys.
He's fantastic.
Nobody's better.
The guy quits.
The next thing you hear from the executives is, ah, the guy was no good.
Yeah, he was no good.
He sucked.
He was no good.
He was going to get fired anyway.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And that's what's going to happen to Gates because he's okay while he's in the job and then he quits and he makes one or two comments that he didn't like, you know, the fact they were bombing everybody.
And now he's going to be seen as a bad guy and more and more is going to come out about how it was his fault about this and he was a screw-up and we didn't want him anyway.
It was a mistake to carry him over from the Bush administration.
Fall guy.
Fall guy.
So we can look out for that over there.
That's, you know, we'll see that in the next couple weeks.
Yep, fall guy.
All right, just a quick trip around Gitmo Nation just to give you the rest of the news that we haven't really gotten to today, but I do want you to hear about it.
It's important.
Dutch coins are now going to, they're coming out in a month, will feature QR codes.
What?
Yeah, how about that?
I missed that story.
Yeah.
So what are you, you bang the coin with your phone and you end up with a website?
I mean, what's the deal?
Well, the Dutch Mint is celebrating its centennial with two new QR-packaged collectible coins.
The coins bring their owners to the Mint's website, which promises a, quote, surprise.
I wonder what else is in these coins.
There's a QR code on it, with the Queen on the front, all happy and smiley, and the QR code on the back.
I want somebody in Holland, one of our listeners, who likes to mock me for my poor pronunciation of Dutch terminology.
Hail the foot!
Get me one of these coins.
Yeah, I'm sure we'll get some of these coins.
It's official, and this was in the Telegraph, but it comes from the National Solar Observatory.
A new Ice Age is on the way.
The U.S. solar physicists have announced the sun is heading for a prolonged period of low activity.
This makes global cooling a much more plausible prospect in the next few decades than global warming.
Which, of course, it'll be blamed on global warming, of course.
They'll say it's because of global warming that we're now very cold.
But it's the National Solar Observatory.
Aren't those guys for real?
Yeah, they're not like a bunch of bogus, gee, everybody's agreed that global warming is real and we're all doomed.
It's going to be really cold.
That's what it's going to be.
So a nice link there from the Times, which you might want to read just for yucks.
Ten reasons to be cheerful about the coming new ice age.
It's a very funny article.
Ice skating.
It's very funny.
Well, literally, it starts with, you've never ice skated on the Thames, have you?
Well, you will.
That's number one on the list.
It's very funny you say that.
A couple other interesting little tidbits.
Finally, now they're putting it out, Shantix, sold in Gitmo Nation Europe as Shampix, which is the stop-smoking medication which makes you go crazy and kill people, will now have a warning label.
On the warning label, Shantix may cause a heart attack.
Oh, well that's a new one.
Yeah, that's nice.
That's good stuff.
That means there'll be some new ads that I can clip.
Oh yeah, for sure.
For sure.
They'll have that in the disclaimer.
And a study has come out in Australia that HPV vaccinations have been incredibly successful.
And you know how this works, right?
You put out a study, which you pay for, and then all of a sudden it was, oh, this is good stuff.
So the study is now out, down under.
Very, very successful.
What does that even mean?
Well, it means that boys do not have HPV in Australia.
Huh!
Yeah, because we've been injecting boys.
They've been trying to get on the boy bandwagon with this for a while.
I thought it was for warts or something.
Yeah, for vaginal warts.
Like in boys, yeah.
They're probably the same boys who have their fingernails painted red.
Yes, it's a throwback.
And luckily on the way, John, a vaccine for methamphetamine abuse.
Well, hold on a second, Adam.
Yes, John.
I understand vaccines are kind of like it has to do with bacteria or viruses and you inject somebody with an attenuated version and then your body creates an immune system response to the real bacteria or virus to knock it out.
And that's how a vaccine works and that's the definition of a vaccine.
What bacteria, I'm asking you, what bacteria or virus causes methamphetamine abuse?
Well, John, I'm very sorry that you do not read the Journal of American Chemical Society, which sounds really official, doesn't it, when you put the word journal in front of it?
And they have a study that says, impact of distinct chemical structures for the development of a methamphetamine vaccine.
The Journal of American Chemical Society.
In the paper, Kim Janda and colleagues note that methamphetamine use and addiction cost the U.S. more than $23 billion annually due to medical and law enforcement expenses.
Can I mention something here that's kind of ironic, maybe?
But people who are strung out on meth kind of like it?
Yeah, they kind of dig it.
They don't want a vaccine.
It's like being strung out on meth.
It's a choice they've made, and so they wouldn't take the vaccine to begin with?
Yeah, you could mention that.
But see, they're going to get a government contract, and you're going to shoot your kids up with it.
That's what this is all for.
Oh, I see.
It's to keep your kids from getting sucked into the meth lifestyle.
That's exactly right.
Exactly.
And then, finally, and this is something good from Gitmo Nation Stinky Cheese, which I thought was actually quite interesting.
They have the Conseil de l'audiovisuel.
Conseil de superior de l'audiovisuel.
You know what that is?
Sounds like some department, some AV department for the French government.
Yes, it's the media regulator.
Now, France...
has very strict rules about what goes on in their media there.
And one of the rules has to be, I think it's 80 or 90% of all music played on French radio stations has to be French.
Kind of like Canada, they have the similar rules.
So very nationalistic.
And actually 80% of that has to be Edith Piaf.
Edith Piaf.
Edith Piaf.
Give me an Edith Piaf song.
I can't pronounce any of them.
Charles Aznavour is the other guy.
Dance in the old-fashioned way.
I think that's...
Anyway, go on.
I'm crooning.
They've implemented a new rule, which I think is really good, and I think we should do that everywhere.
No longer will they be mentioning the brand names Twitter and or Facebook in reports about Twitter and or Facebook unless it's about the company itself.
So they're saying, hey, these guys are getting a free ride like they're utilities, like they're the water and power company.
So instead they're going to say social networking.
Which I think is good and I think is just.
I'm not arguing against it.
I think it's pretty darn good that they did that.
There seems to be a lot of free publicity for Twitter and Facebook.
Did you know the Library of Congress is backing up all tweets?
Really?
All tweets?
All tweets.
Oh, good.
No, it's not good.
It's good if I want to find one of my old tweets that's scrolled off.
Yeah, but why is archive.org an independent organization?
Why isn't the government backing up the internet?
Like making tweets.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, making Twitter the internet of record?
Yeah, you know?
I asked them to do it for some reason, if you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, like some of the...
Or the NSA or one of these guys.
Yep, some of the techno experts, apparently.
Anyway, I think we have the No Agenda Producer update coming later today.
It's always a little sketchy if that's on or not.
They hijack the stream, then we'll know that they're on.
So happy Father's Day to you, John.
I hope you get your nails painted red.
Yeah, I'm going for it.
And watch out for those Predator drones, everybody.
It's non-kinetic, and it's coming this summer.
And only what?
Less than four weeks, everybody.
We'll be hitting the road with the HotPockets2008.com Gitmo Nation Tour.
Looking forward to it.
Baroness Maggie Vincent of Virginia has everything all set up.
You can check it out at HotPockets2008.com.
Email Mickey at Curry.com if you have something for us to see along the way.
We'll be broadcasting live all summer long.
And coming to you from Gitmo Nation West, People's Republic of Southern California.
In the morning, everybody, my name's Adam Curry.
And getting on a ship out here in the San Francisco Bay, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We will be here again on Thursday on No Agenda.
