	Let's face it, he doesn't know what a hashtag is from Hash Brown.
	Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, June 26, 2011.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 316.
	This is No Agenda.
	Distracted by legal weed here at the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in Givar Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm cutting it close, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Hey there.
	Hey, in the morning to you, John.
	In the morning to you, Adam.
	In the morning to all ships at sea, feet in the air, boots on the ground, and people in between.
	Yes, all of those.
	And, of course, our human resources in the chat room at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net, all charged up and ready to go exactly the way their government loves them so we can suck the lifeblood out of them.
	Yeah.
	Indeed.
	It's a nice...
	By the way, I picked up a good story.
	I want to get right to it right away.
	All right.
	It's one item, just an item.
	It's an item that was in the paper.
	Apparently now many states, by the way, California has made a law against this.
	They use your FICO score...
	Oh, we've talked about this, yeah.
	...to determine how much money you should pay on your car insurance.
	What?!
	I don't understand.
	They figure that if you've got a lousy FICO score, you're probably going to scam the insurance company so you need to pay more money.
	Oh my God.
	So this is the same company we discussed on the last show now have a FICO score to determine how likely you are to take your...
	It's the same score.
	It's your finance score.
	Oh, they're using the finance score.
	Okay, because these people have a separate score how likely you are to take your meds.
	Right.
	That's the new thing they're working on.
	This is just the old score that the insurance companies are using, which verifies, as far as I'm concerned, the fact that the insurance companies will use anything they can to gouge the customers, including, and this is the big one, including all those shopping carts you buy from the various stores like Whole Foods or Safeway when you buy something.
	It goes into a database.
	Everything you've ever purchased is in there.
	So every bottle of beer, that will all eventually go as data to the insurance company that will say, you're eating too much beer.
	Or drinking too much beer.
	Now, if you're...
	Hold on.
	You're blowing something up.
	Switch again.
	Hold on.
	There we go.
	Yeah, stop eating beer.
	There we go.
	I'm back.
	Sorry.
	Are you there now?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Anyway, the point is that this is just terrible.
	Yeah.
	Well, welcome to Gitmo Nation, everybody.
	And get ready for a great Sunday as John kicks it off with the positive news of the day.
	I'm here to please.
	Yeah, it was really weird.
	Now, of course, we had a short intermission between shows, you know, the Thursday to the Sunday.
	And Friday was the big vote on not one but two bills in the House about the Libyan war that we're now in.
	And I thought it was very interesting.
	Of course, I watched all of the testimony, and it went on for hours.
	This is all on C-SPAN, and I'm sure very few people watch this.
	Because a couple of things happened.
	First of all, well, maybe I should just play these two little quotes.
	So the two people kind of who are interesting to listen to in this entire debate are Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich, both against the Libyan War.
	Now, the way it ran down in the house is Ron Paul spoke first, and then right after him came Dennis Kucinich.
	But I thought, for purposes of what I want to deconstruct, I want to play Dennis Kucinich first.
	They each got a minute, and here's Kucinich taking off.
	Now, there were two bills.
	One was for, it's a little complicated, but I think one bill was for limiting the financing, and the other one was for limiting what the president could do in the war.
	Both bills failed, which I think is a very good thing, but you have to kind of warp your mind around why it's a good thing.
	We've been in Afghanistan for ten years at a cost of over half trillion dollars.
	In Iraq for eight years at a long-term cost of at least three trillion.
	Those who told us the war in Libya would last days now want to extend it for another year at a total cost of billions.
	It is surreal that we could even be considering authorizing this war at a time when the government is collapsing in debt.
	Those who told us the war in Libya was to save civilians' lives quickly switched to regime change, with innocent civilians dying from NATO's bombs.
	Prior to NATO assuming responsibility, we launched hundreds of cruise missiles and dropped tons of bombs on Libya.
	Since NATO took over, the U.S. has struck from the air at least 90 times, including drone attacks.
	But these are not hostilities, claims the White House.
	So what business is it of Congress?
	We must put an end, not only to the war in Libya, but we must put an end to the thinking that the Constitution is a doormat and that our constituents must simply bear the consequences of the misguided policies of this administration without this Congress having any say whatsoever.
	Defeat the authorization for the war.
	Vote for the Rooney bill, which limits the war.
	And when we return, let's vote for a total cutoff of funds for this wrong-headed adventure.
	Okay, so now this came after Ron Paul.
	So, and I believe one of, so Kucinich was sponsoring one of these two bills, if not both of them.
	And, of course, the problem with both of these bills is not only by limiting how much money can go into the war on Libya, the non-kinetic war, whatever it's being called, or limiting what the forces can do, they both do something very essential.
	They actually justify the war.
	Right?
	Yeah, I guess.
	And so Ron Paul came first, and he kind of said that.
	Mr.
	Speaker, later this morning we will be debating and voting on two resolutions dealing with Libya.
	The first one, H.J. Res.
	68, has been said to be one that literally endorses exactly what the President has been doing, and I agree with that.
	Even though it excludes ground troops, it doesn't talk about special forces, CIA contractors, and unlimited bombing, which is really what we have to restrict.
	But the second one, H.R. 2278, has been said to be more strongly worded in restraint on the President, and this is where I disagree.
	I believe the wording is different, and it says no funds for ground troops, but then it has exceptions.
	And the exceptions are for all the things that we're already doing.
	So I believe if we vote and pass the second one, it will be the first time this Congress has given authority to the President for what he is doing right now.
	So I urge my colleagues to look at both of these carefully.
	I have concluded that not only should the first one be voted down, but it's very important that the second one be voted down as well.
	And so, you know, and I thought about this.
	I'm like, That's absolutely right.
	Both of these bills, although under the guise of, we're against it and we don't want it, and Dennis Kucinich up front, maybe his heart's in the right place, but is he really that stupid?
	I think the guy's got to be just a shill now.
	And so Ron Paul, of course, is making sense.
	And so what happens?
	I'm sorry, but that's the difference between the kind of a left-wing version of a libertarian and a right-wing version of a libertarian.
	It's interesting.
	Exactly.
	So, of course, Ron Paul is starting to make some sense.
	And then, just to confuse matters, all of a sudden, Twinkle Toes comes out.
	Barney Frank...
	And what timing to introduce the, let's just call it the legalized pot bill that he and Ron Paul, I guess, had worked on together, which in my mind was only meant to completely distract all attention from the Libya discussion.
	And focus it on marijuana because, oh man, the mainstream media, they love them some good pot talk.
	Everyone had a pun.
	Everyone had like, is this a half-baked idea?
	There's a lot of buzz going around in Washington.
	It's like they turn into blithering idiots.
	And Barney Frank actually tipped his hat that this was like the time to introduce now, but of course it was on MSNBC. And by the way, maybe he's, you know, maybe he really, I think he believes in a lot of...
	You know, rights for Americans, because he wants the right to run a prostitution ring from his house and stuff.
	You know, the stuff that he did.
	So I'm sure he's no stranger to the wacky-backy, which I, of course, am a huge proponent of, even though I don't smoke it anymore.
	And once again, gets on MSNBC, and there's all the...
	You know, I... Maybe I'm joking a little bit, but some may be asking what you're smoking, since he still has no chance in the Republican-controlled House.
	So what's your argument?
	Well, I'm trying to get used to the same puns over and over again.
	Sorry about that conversation.
	I guess marijuana is not habit-forming, but making puns about it is.
	The answer is that everything has to start somewhere.
	I think the general public, frankly, on this issue, is more enlightened than my colleagues.
	In state after state, referenda have cut back on marijuana restrictions.
	We have a number of states that allow people to use it for medical purposes.
	A couple matches in Maine where it's not a crime.
	I don't think the federal government ought to be imposing that.
	Personally, as a president of Massachusetts, I also wanted to say that a 40-year-old wants to smoke marijuana.
	That's his or her business.
	Is it going to pass?
	Look, if I were only going to be talking about things that I thought that could pass in the current Republican House, I'd take several months off.
	But the purpose of legislation is to begin a dialogue, in some cases.
	I think what my colleagues are going to find is that there are a large number of their constituents who support personal freedom, and that's why Ron Paul and I are together on this.
	And by the way, Ron Paul and I have been together in other areas.
	Removing the restriction on people gambling on the internet.
	He and I have been joined in opposing the Patriot Act.
	We have a common interest in protecting people's freedom from unnecessary government intrusion.
	But the reason for filing it now was to get this discussion going.
	Yeah, the reason for filing it now was to distract from everything else.
	That's just so clear.
	And I think Ron Paul is like, oh, brother, he's got to do this now, this douchebag.
	And so what are you going to do, John, if you're...
	Now, you and I, of course, we're media sexperts.
	And...
	We know exactly how to run news channels, etc.
	Who would you bring on as a guest if, once again, if you wanted to, of course, marginalize every other conversation, anything that's important, like killing brown people in deserts with our tax-dollar-funded Hellfire missiles?
	Who would you bring on as a guest?
	Who would be the perfect weed guy?
	A weed guy after Barney Franks?
	Yeah, and I mean, he's introducing the bill, but we've got to fill up the channel with weed talk now.
	Yeah, well, actually, if it was me, I'd bring on Arnold Schwarzenegger, but that's another story.
	Who did they bring?
	Tommy Chong, of course.
	You've got to bring, like, the stoner dude.
	Probably the most surprising story of the time.
	Surprising?
	It's just ridiculous.
	A very unlikely pair of political bedfellows stepped into the war on drugs today.
	Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul and Democratic Senator Barney Frank of all odd couples announced...
	Gay references, odd couples.
	A bill that would in effect legalize marijuana by doing away with federal laws and leaving the pot problem up to the states.
	Ron Paul legalizing marijuana.
	Go figure on that one.
	What does that mean, go figure on that one?
	Hold on a second.
	He is implying with that go figure that because he's a Republican or because he's a...
	Exactly.
	He doesn't even know Ron Paul, obviously.
	Exactly.
	All he knows is Tommy Chung is on.
	So what channel was this?
	What idiot was this?
	This is also MSNBC. Wow.
	Yeah, they were all over that.
	Why is it undeniably a long shot in terms of legislation?
	I don't see it such a long shot.
	We have legal marijuana in many states.
	Interesting that this comes up.
	Hitting buzz.
	Oh, buzz!
	Hilarious, you scriptwriters.
	So, should we even consider legalizing pot?
	Here to take sides are actor and marijuana advocate Tommy Chong.
	You all know him from the movies.
	And Paul Chabot, former senior advisor on drug policy.
	Clinton and second Bush administrations.
	Welcome, gentlemen.
	Tommy, let me start with you.
	As far as I can tell, you've waited a lifetime for this to come along.
	How much confidence do you have that it'll make it now?
	So first of all, oh, so funny.
	I got Tommy Chong.
	He's a perfect guy to talk about weed.
	What do you think Tommy Chong is going to say?
	He has not been briefed, by the way.
	I don't know, but this should be good.
	It's great.
	I think before the interview, he smoked the largest doobie ever.
	I don't have any confidence whatsoever.
	I think it's just a political...
	It's like the rest, you know?
	And that's how the whole interview goes.
	Tommy's just like, So there you go.
	Complete distraction of the week.
	Thank you very much, everybody.
	And it's a total obvious hit from whoever is running the real country to introduce this right now, the same day that we have this discussion more important than the actual vote, probably, about Libya.
	It's just very disturbing.
	Geez.
	Right?
	Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing.
	In fact, the media just bought it hook, line, and sinker.
	Heck with the war, who cares about that?
	Yeah, it's old news.
	We don't have any good footage.
	I was watching...
	Who's the douche?
	Come on, from HBO. The talk show guy.
	Bill Maher.
	I was watching his show.
	And his audience is now...
	You could actually watch it.
	You know why?
	I couldn't get through the last one.
	No, because he's now saying, hey, wait a minute, I'm really disappointed in what Obama's doing.
	What is this?
	5,000 troops.
	This is dumb.
	And the audience, they actually, they're all mind-controlled MKUltra slaves.
	They all want to be like, yeah, Obama, yeah!
	And now Bill Maher's going like, well, this sucks.
	And the audience is not, they're like, they don't know what to do.
	They're dumbfounded.
	Like, uh, uh, uh, uh, what?
	Seriously.
	It's very, very interesting what's going on.
	Just there was so much, it was mind-boggling.
	Then, of course, New York legalized gay marriage.
	Yeah, I got a gay marriage clip, and I think this is one of the mixed messages when I do my New York Times takedown in the second half of the show.
	It's like, you know, this is the first time that the Senate in New York State has been dominated by Republicans, and it's the Republicans who push through the gay marriage thing, which is loaded with mixed messages.
	And it's kind of explained, even though I don't think it's very well explained in this clip.
	Is this mixed messages?
	Is it?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	There were actually, though, Maureen, some influential Republican donors who played a big role in getting this passed.
	Yes, and you know, it's fascinating that the year this goes through in the New York Senate is the year that the New York Senate is controlled by Republicans.
	Andrew Cuomo worked really hard with a group of powerful, libertarian-leaning Republican donors, particularly hedge fund managers that were donating a lot of money, both to fight against the campaigns of those who had opposed the initial 2009 bill, and also to encourage Republicans who are willing to flip sides to say that we're going to campaign for you if you're willing to flip sides and vote for the gay marriage vote.
	So it's like, I guess, libertarian gay hedge fund managers.
	I mean, it's kind of one of the messages.
	The other message is that the libertarians are good guys, which is a good message.
	But there's also the message that the Republicans will do anything for money.
	Yeah, and the other message is that the Democrats can't get anything done.
	And by the way, I want to mention something here, which is just another pet peeve of mine, which I'll bitch about over the next number of years.
	California, which is dominantly a Democrat state with a Democrat assembly and a Democrat Senate and a Democrat now a Democrat governor, which is pretty typical.
	They can't pass gay marriage in the Senate and House here, even though they keep putting up for the electorate, which keeps voting it down.
	They can't.
	They could do it in the legislature.
	They won't do it.
	And then the entire state, which is a state full of Democrats, won't even the entire state of Democrats after moaning and groaning for years will not even legalize marijuana.
	What is wrong with these Democrats?
	Yeah, you know...
	As a bi-curious male, I'm very conflicted about the whole thing.
	The two things we've received this year, one is the so-called repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
	Which is bogus.
	Yeah, it's bogus, but my brothers and sisters don't know better.
	They think it's now okay for gays and lesbians to be in the military, which is not.
	Wait a minute.
	Your brothers and sisters?
	Yes, I'm a bi-curious male.
	I don't have to tell you this.
	So you're now putting yourself in that camp.
	Yeah.
	And by the way, I think that I feel slighted that in gay, lesbian, transgendered week, month, Bicurious was not included.
	But I'm confused, because why are we all partying?
	In New York today, it's going to be complete pandemonium.
	There's huge parties planned.
	Everyone's going to be partying in the streets, drunk, and wah!
	You know, you get married.
	Yeah, in New York, you get to pay extra taxes when you're married.
	Congratulations!
	You know, don't ask, don't tell.
	Hey, now you can go get killed in the desert.
	Congratulations!
	This is powerful mojo.
	I don't understand why we're also...
	I mean, I understand why, you know, we feel that we should be treated equally.
	But why celebrate this?
	You know, I mean, John, you and I have both had long-lasting marriages, multiple.
	And at the end of the day, what is it?
	It's a pain in the ass.
	Isn't it a hassle?
	Well, it is from the perspective of the government intrusion.
	Yes!
	My point exactly.
	And it's like, well, it's sad to me that people are all happy about this.
	You don't know what's coming.
	And it's something very powerful.
	This is a big power that's now in the hands of the state officials.
	They can take it back.
	They can change things.
	They can do all kinds of stuff.
	I just wouldn't be all that happy about all the extra taxes.
	By the way, who sent us that note?
	Is it now discriminatory where, since gay marriage is now recognized in the state of New York, but you won't have to be subject to an extra marriage tax on your federal income because the federal government doesn't recognize it?
	I have no idea.
	I'm not a tax lawyer and I don't purport to be one.
	But you know what I'm saying, right?
	I did once go through the tax certification process.
	You went to school?
	Yeah.
	For this?
	Really?
	So you could do taxes?
	I was certificated as a tax expert.
	And to be honest about it, I couldn't do taxes today if I wanted to.
	Because every time they do the Tax Simplification Act, Congress does it, they simplify and simplify, the tax code gets bigger and bigger and bigger, and now it's impossible.
	I think, what is it now, 1,600 pages or something?
	It's ridiculous.
	If they would just go to flat tax and give up on this whole thing, it would be great.
	In California, I don't know how much longer we can live here.
	You know, Mickey had that art expo, right?
	And she had art come in from the Netherlands, from a Dutch artist.
	And it was insured.
	And it had, I think, an insured value of $92,000 or something.
	And she shipped it over.
	And she shipped it straight to the venue.
	And Mickey had to sign for it.
	You know what shows up yesterday?
	A bill.
	A bill for use tax.
	Use tax.
	Use.
	Use.
	A use tax?
	9.7%.
	What's a use tax?
	It's exactly the same as a sales tax.
	In California, if you buy stuff, over the internet or otherwise, from out of state, even if it's from overseas, whatever, you have to pay a use tax.
	Almost 10%.
	It's unbelievable.
	Every time you turn around, there's some tax, some fee.
	I literally thought it was a joke.
	I'm like, this is a joke letter.
	This is like a scam.
	You know, like someone knows how to track customs or something, and they just send this to you thinking if you're stupid, you're going to send off the check.
	But it's real!
	Now, of course, we sent everything back, excluded what was sold.
	You know, so they said, oh, as long as you can prove that it was shipped back and the same value, you know, it's going to be a nightmare.
	I know it.
	It's going to be a nightmare.
	A use tax?
	I don't understand.
	How do they come up with this stuff?
	Got to move.
	That's weird.
	That's from the state of California.
	State of California, yeah.
	Yeah.
	A great state, I might add.
	Maybe we should move to Texas.
	Maybe that's better.
	Texas is a lot better.
	You know, we got Rick Perry there.
	And you can always follow me on Twitter.
	That's the problem with Texas right there.
	He just summarized it.
	He had another one.
	That was really funny.
	I guess apparently he called some journalist a mofo.
	Oh, no.
	Yeah, here it is.
	Adios, mofo.
	Does he even know what that means?
	Well, he knows where the tweet is.
	And you can always follow me on Twitter.
	Adios mofo.
	That's a great clip.
	Isn't that great?
	But this is from his gubernatorial campaign.
	So apparently it's not new.
	Adios mofo.
	Play that again.
	It's just too funny.
	It is one of my favorites, actually.
	Adios, mofo.
	Adios, mofo.
	I've been practicing.
	I've been practicing on him.
	But I think he's out now, now that he did the tweeters.
	Now it's Christy from New Jersey.
	Now he's the new...
	Well, Christy's been promoted for quite a while, so I don't consider that new.
	He's the new boy.
	I don't know, because he balanced the budget or something by screwing everybody.
	Yeah, by screwing everybody.
	It's like, hey, you know what?
	Screw you!
	Oh, okay.
	Hey!
	Anyway, so there was a lot going on.
	There really was.
	And quite interesting.
	But man, that testimony in the house about Libya, oh, about three hours.
	Did you watch any of it?
	No, thank God.
	Yeah, I watched just about everything.
	I got a lot of clips, but I didn't really spend a lot of time on, as much time on C-Spend as normal.
	Yeah.
	I did get a couple, I ended up watching some movies, I got some old movie stuff.
	Great.
	Some bad acting.
	I got into the Whitey Bulger story because it's...
	I don't understand.
	Should we thank some producers first and then get into the...
	I don't understand this Whitey Bulger story.
	I have no idea what it's about.
	Yeah, it's a monster story for a very interesting reason.
	Let's thank some of our executive producers for today's show.
	We have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
	Executive producers, including Matthew Moss, Long Beach, California, donation for show 333, a podcast license, and 617 to blow on some hookers.
	Thank you.
	I need a shot of karma to help me get downsized.
	You've got karma.
	You mean to help him with the downsizing?
	He wants to get downsized?
	There's a check roaming around here somewhere that needs to be reissued.
	Matt Coghlan, Crescent City, California.
	Matt Coghlan, 33333.
	He's got a note we'll have to dig up for the break.
	Chris Ruddy.
	New York.
	This is a check that came in for 316 that should have made him a knight if he hasn't already been named a knight.
	And the problem is we're having these two channels of incomes that don't necessarily end up on the spreadsheet properly.
	Russell Keller, 316.com.
	Glendale, California.
	These are both for Show 316, obviously.
	And the 316 Club, yeah, which is great.
	Just realized I've been a douchebag thanks to PayPal bastards.
	Please accept this attempt to make up and de-douche me.
	Absolutely happy to do that.
	You've been de-douched.
	And Veren von Pelsmacher has decided to come in from Belgium and give us 316.
	He likes that number.
	So he's a member of the 316 Club in the morning, gentlemen.
	Reminder to all douchebags who listen and don't contribute, it's never too late to change your ways.
	You'll feel better, I promise you.
	Where else can I get this quality of analysis?
	Where, I ask you.
	Yes.
	No, thank you so much, Baron Staph and Pelsmockers.
	Baron of Belgium, by the way.
	Baron of Belgium, exactly.
	And Janice Kang, who's given before, and I think she's been knighted.
	You're going to have to look it up.
	And she is in for $300.
	Also, one associate executive producer, Jeff Juniper, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.
	I would appreciate some karma for a new relationship and a long-term sweetheart.
	You've got karma.
	A new relationship with a long-term sweetheart and a new business venture.
	Oh, great.
	Also, he wants you to toss in a chemtrails.
	Chemtrails.
	That would make his day.
	By your command, my friend.
	One more time.
	Chemtrails.
	Chemtrails.
	I've got to tell you, I have not seen any in a long...
	I guess there's no airplanes flying, apparently.
	Yeah, I guess the moisture content in the air is down quite a bit.
	Yeah, or they're just on 10 trailers.
	Thank you for your excellent work and entertainment.
	Best regards your friend in the North.
	He's in Yukon.
	Whitehorse Yukon.
	Can you imagine?
	And that is our executive producer list.
	I may have one more here that got mailed in.
	Chris and Janice and...
	No, that's it.
	So that'll be it for today's show.
	316.
	We have three members at 316 Club.
	I want to thank everybody who donated that much.
	And help us out.
	Yeah, it's what supports the show.
	It's what keeps the show running.
	It keeps us watching C-SPAN without having to have any other discernible vocation.
	And then a couple of PR mentions.
	Happy birthday to noagendaentertainment.com.
	One year old today.
	They are celebrating their anniversary.
	And this is Dave Bryan.
	Very happy to be part of the community that you and your listeners built.
	I say the listeners have built, obviously.
	This came through the Twitters.
	This came on the Twitter.
	You can always follow me on Twitter.
	This came through the Twitter.
	Let me just see if I can see who tweeted it.
	Usually people will say something on email.
	It's from GLM216 on Twitter.
	Adam, I can't believe this wasn't registered.
	It's a throwback to a previous show.
	I can't believe it.
	Sandtacos.com.
	Now forwarding to noagendashow.com.
	Very nice.
	Sand Tacos.
	Sand Tacos.
	Wow.
	That's a good one.
	Yeah.
	I can't believe it wasn't registered.
	The big name of a restaurant.
	Hey!
	I'm Adam.
	This is John.
	We want to welcome you to Sand Tacos.
	That's right.
	We have 30% beef and 80% other stuff.
	Some call it Silicon.
	We call it Sand.
	Sand Tacos.
	Enjoy!
	That was pretty good.
	See if someone can get us wood tacos where we're at.
	Wood chip tacos.
	Well, I'm going to put it on poopburger.com.
	I have poopburger.com.
	Yeah, you got that one, though, didn't you?
	Yeah, I nailed that one.
	You grabbed it.
	So the BS filter, which translates the internet to what it really should be, has moved location.
	We are now hosting it.
	The human resource who was maintaining that.
	He really didn't have time to maintain the website, but he will continue to maintain the filters.
	So you can now find it at bsfilter.nashownotes.com.
	NAShownotes.com, of course, the main...
	For all things show notes related, today's show notes for today's episode can be found at 316.nashownotes.com.
	And then finally, this is pretty much my favorite domain name, Ford.
	And by the way, we're of 450 domain names and counting now registered by independent producers of the program, all pointing to noagendashow.com.
	Right, and we're believing this may be a Guinness Book of World Records.
	Somebody suggested this, one of our producers.
	It may be a Guinness Book of World Records, because these are not things that we're forwarding to ourselves, like the douchebags that do this sort of thing.
	These are people that have created it, and they're forwarding it to us.
	So, I mean, these aren't owned by us.
	So, yeah, that would be great if we could get into the...
	I think once we get over 500, it's pretty substantial.
	I'm just checking to see if...
	Because when I say these things and people go to the website, it brings down the entire site.
	It's crunching.
	We haven't got that many people in the chat room.
	Now we're doing pretty good.
	So this has got to be my most disfavoritest.
	This is from Ryan Hoskins.
	After listening to No Agenda, episode 314, hearing that clip where the new leader of Al-Qaeda, Al-Zahari, is being called the new CEO, I was thinking, the next step is very obvious for Al-Qaeda, so I purchased a domain name and forwarded it to noagendashow.com, alqaedaipo.com.
	That's right, these guys, you know it, they're going to go public.
	It's so beautiful.
	That is funny.
	That'll get a knock on the door.
	What do you mean?
	I don't know.
	I just get the sense of humor down at the State Department.
	Yeah, hey man, that's just not funny, man.
	Wouldn't it be cool if they actually went public?
	Like Al-Qaeda?
	Why not?
	They have a magazine.
	Yeah, they got a magazine.
	They got a CEO. They got a magazine and a website.
	Yeah, who's the CFO of that puppy?
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	So we appreciate all this fantastic PR work.
	Anything else you can do is always mentioned at the top of the show.
	And, of course, thanks to our associate executive producer, Jeff Juniper, our executive producers and 316 club members, Matt Coghlan, Chris Ruddy, Russell Keller, Baron Steven Pelsmokers, and other executive producer, Matthew Moss, for supporting the No Agenda program.
	Without you, it cannot be done.
	It is the model that we've chosen today.
	And at least we're living the American dream, which is barely getting by.
	And so the president should be proud of us.
	Now, you can always do one thing to help us out, and that is propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	New world order.
	Say it with me, everybody.
	New world order.
	Shut up!
	Quick note that we flipped the switch on Saturday.
	And noagendastream.com is now all talk.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Of course, the usual suspects have been all over it.
	Rhino the Bearded.
	We've been playing Dvorak Horowitz, which people like.
	Yeah, Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged.
	And The Den Man.
	God, he has a great voice.
	You should hear this guy's pipes.
	This is The Den Man.
	I'm going to talk to you about cyber security.
	It's really cool.
	So, no more illegal music.
	It's all talk.
	No commercials, no agenda.
	And if you want an account, just hit me up and I'll be happy to say yeah.
	So, Whitey Bulger.
	Yeah, tell me about this story.
	Okay, Whitey, I have some clips, but I'll just kind of summarize a lot of this.
	The FBI, if you don't, had an announcement.
	They put out a thing...
	Out of the blue, they decided to do a public relations thing trying to capture this guy Whitey.
	Bolger's been on the run since about 1995.
	He was the head of the Irish Mafia and he was the main character that was portrayed in the movie The Departed.
	I didn't see the movie, unfortunately.
	The Scorsese movie where there's this huge head of a big crime syndicate who's also working for the FBI. Uh-huh.
	And the FBI protected this guy all the years while he was killing people, especially people that had any evidence against him that the FBI would find.
	The FBI would find some guy who was like, hey, I think this guy's going to try to testify against you in a case, and Bulger would have him killed.
	In the process, Bulger also killed a lot of innocent civilians, which pushed the government at huge risk for liability issues.
	And so supposedly the Department of Justice has been covering this up Because they set up one of their own, a couple of FBI agents as stooges to take the fall for what appeared to be like a whole bunch of people that were involved in this weird scam.
	And it was explained in great detail on the Charlie Rose show recently by two columnists, one for the Boston Globe and one for the New York Times.
	Both of them saying that something's fishy about this capture of this guy because...
	Well, you can play one of the clips that shows it's fishy.
	Play the PSA Not Heard in L.A. Oh, crap.
	I'm so sorry.
	My fingers are too fat.
	Here we go.
	I was just going to say that I had heard some of the same things that Kevin was talking about earlier today from some people in other law enforcement agencies saying that they just don't buy for a minute that the FBI story is actually how this came down.
	For what it's worth, they just think it's impossible that 48 hours pass after the latest Attempted a publicity campaign, and there have been several, and the magic bullet tip comes in, and some of the theories were that it was actually an informant that wanted so much protection that they went ahead and made up this This story about the tipster and the PSA campaign.
	Who knows?
	The PSAs didn't run in the Los Angeles market.
	Right.
	They ran in San Diego and San Francisco, apparently, but not in Los Angeles.
	And the FBI, the special agent in charge here, refused to confirm today whether the tipster had actually heard the PSA. Why is she almost crying?
	She is a nervous wreck.
	Yeah.
	She's a New York Times reporter who is so...
	I've worked with people that get nervous on television.
	Oh, and they get all red and flustered, and they start to sweat, and it's like...
	Yeah, but I've never heard what...
	But a lot of them, you can't...
	Unless you're on the set, you don't notice how nervous they are if you're watching them.
	This woman must have been shaken like a leaf.
	She sounded like she was in tears.
	She was a wreck.
	She's never going to get invited back.
	She can't do TV. But she had some good points to make.
	And the problem is when she's doing it and she's screwing it up, she's like, I'm never going to get back on this show.
	I'm never going to get back on this show.
	It gets worse and worse.
	It just gets horrible.
	Although I have to change the topic just for a little insight baseball.
	I do remember this one incident I had when I was at Tech TV doing Silicon Spin.
	And I had this woman on who froze.
	Literally?
	Yeah, she froze.
	And she was just completely frozen and she couldn't even move her head.
	Could she breathe?
	Barely.
	And she was glued to the table.
	She couldn't move her head and she couldn't say anything but yes and no if you asked her anything.
	But we had four guests instead of a smaller group.
	So it was easy to just bypass her because I got in my IFB. I got the...
	She's frozen.
	Don't talk to her.
	Skip to the next guest.
	Next guest.
	John, next guest.
	Camera three on the next guest.
	Go.
	We basically just avoid her for the whole show.
	She comes up to me afterwards.
	And says, wasn't I great?
	No.
	She says, that was really fun.
	I hope you'll invite me back.
	Yeah.
	Let me think.
	No.
	Oh, wow.
	So this poor woman is shaking like a leaf.
	But this other guy, both of them are saying this is a bunch of bull crap.
	The PSA wasn't even run in Los Angeles where he came in.
	The whole thing was something fishy that's going on because...
	It appears as if the FBI has something to hide, you think?
	Yeah, they got a lot to hide.
	But the funnier part of this whole episode was I got this Bulger world travel clip.
	This is the funny part because I think one of the other things that was going on is that, well, just play this clip and I'll explain.
	I wrote a column a couple years ago saying, you know, they have sightings of him in London and Dublin and Rome.
	Why is there never, like, a sighting of him in Podgorica, Montenegro?
	It's always in these beautiful places that they have sightings.
	And, you know, the FBI agents would jump on a plane and fly out there.
	And it was...
	We've always questioned, were they really looking for him?
	And you know, the special aide in charge of the Boston office here addressed that today and said he knew that people didn't believe that they were out there, or that there were some people who didn't believe the FBI was really out there looking for him, but he contended that they never wavered.
	And you know, I always looked at it, I know some guys on the task force, they've called me over the years asking me what I knew.
	Especially when it came to this idea that he would go to Ireland, which is patent nonsense.
	The last place Whitey Bulger would have went to hide out is Ireland.
	But, you know, I have no doubts that the individual law enforcement officers on that task force to find him wanted to find him.
	The question is, how much backup was there in pay grades above him?
	And the Justice Department has absolutely dragged its feet on many of these cases in which victims' families have been seeking justice and apology and compensation.
	Let me ask you a question.
	What does the Irish Mafia actually run?
	What's their racket?
	Just like any other mob, only they were running Boston.
	It's just like all the mobs in the country were Italian-based except the Irish mob in Boston.
	So this has got to have something to do with all the mob roll-ups then?
	I mean, there is something going on.
	There is something going on.
	Anyway, so the funny thing about that clip was apparently the FBI would get these supposed tips and then they'd take a junket.
	Right.
	It's like, hey, Rome!
	He's down in the south of France.
	Let's go.
	We need a yacht.
	We need to pose as rich guys on a yacht.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, that'll do it.
	So how much taxpayer money was spent shipping these FBI guys around on vacations?
	Oh, man.
	We should get in the FBI. The whole thing is a horrible, horrible scam and it's finally being wrapped up, but it's just going to continue for a while unless they kill the guy.
	He'll go in jail in a heartbeat.
	Hey, Whitey!
	Oops, sorry.
	Didn't mean that.
	Unbelievable.
	Anyways, that's kind of the story, and it's ongoing, and it has to do with the corruption within the agency.
	I've been looking at Gitmo Nation lowlands.
	A couple things happened that were very interesting.
	One is, you know, Geert Wilders, who was being sued for inciting hatred.
	Well, of course, as we knew, it was just one big distraction.
	The court ruled not guilty of inciting hatred, but some of his statements were on the edge.
	On the edge.
	On the edge.
	What does that mean?
	He gives a crap.
	But this comes at the same time, and this is very interesting, because the Netherlands is of course known as one of the first, I would have to say one of the first countries in the United States of Europe that embraced the multicultural society.
	The idea of, you know, the Dutch, of course, have pretty much always just been Dutch.
	And then they started letting, well, they've always had immigrants, Italians, British.
	But then it became Moluccas, which, of course, is a part of a protectorate.
	And somehow the Dutch owned all this stuff.
	But then in came Turks, Moroccans, and stuff started to kind of become a little weird.
	And now there's a new integration bill, and the Dutch Minister of the Interior, Pieter Heindolner, a huge evil elite, by the way, presented this bill on June 16th, and he read in this translation, of course,"...the government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people." In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role.
	With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society.
	And I think this is a big, big story.
	I think so, too.
	Not that it's being covered anywhere, of course.
	Yeah.
	It continues, a more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens.
	It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually goes apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore.
	In the Netherlands, the integration will not be tailored to different groups, which is exactly what it was.
	It has signs in Arabic and signs in Dutch.
	And it's not a typical immigration country.
	It's a very small country.
	Yeah, they can't absorb that.
	You might as well just...
	I mean, these are an old warring nation, and they're just absorbing people left and right, and then they have to have signs in Arabic?
	Yeah.
	So now we get the burqa ban will go into place, not until 2013.
	But this all kind of comes at the same time that Gied Wilders gets his get-out-of-jail-free card with basically a stern little warning saying, hey, you can't do that.
	And I just think it's interesting because in all of Europe, the whole idea was the multicultural society.
	And for the Netherlands to step away from it first, I think it's a pretty big deal.
	Yeah, well, I'm surprised that the EU doesn't step in and tell them they can't do it.
	Yeah, well, the EU's got some other crap going on, I think.
	Heiku Herman came.
	Heiku Herman, did you hear about this?
	They had this meeting.
	Did you hear about his egg?
	No.
	This is great.
	Like a Lady Gaga egg?
	Yeah, exactly.
	They had this meeting of all the finance ministers, and Haiku Herman thought it was appropriate to hand out a folder, like a four-color brochure, which by itself cost 100,000 euros to print up this brochure.
	What?
	Yeah, of what they're calling the egg.
	It's the new Starfleet Command Center building.
	Which cost 240 million euros to build.
	A quarter of a billion euros.
	So half a billion dollars almost to build.
	And it looks like an egg.
	And it's like, hey, I just want to keep you guys up to date.
	So here they are.
	They're discussing Greek slaves eating rats.
	To pay off the banks.
	And Haiku Herman's at this meeting handing out four-color brochures about the egg where the Starfleet Council is going to see.
	And it's being built already.
	So it's just like, here's a little update, everybody.
	I mean, how disgusting is it to have this happen?
	Wow.
	I think Barroso even went like, okay, this thing needs to get done quick and just quietly.
	Let's get it done.
	Shut up, Haiku.
	240 million euros to build an egg while the people of Greece starve.
	Here's Hermie.
	It's kind of hard to understand his atrocious English, but he's trying to say that it's all under control.
	Extra money for Greece will come from both public and private sources, spreading the risks and costs.
	The euro area heads of state and government agree that required additional funding will be financed through both official and private sources.
	Okay, official and private sources.
	What does that mean?
	They endorse the approach decided by the Eurogroup on the 20th of June as regards the pursuit of voluntary private sector involvement in the form of informal and voluntary rollovers of existing debt.
	So let me just explain what that means.
	That means the slaves of the other states of Europe will pay the additional 30 billion euros that Greece needs just to make their latest car payment.
	But the banks have a voluntary option to take a haircut.
	So it's unbelievable that no one explains this.
	And I think the Greek, I think they actually understand what's going on.
	So the banks who are owed this money, and it is Goldman, it is JP Morgan, it is the French and German banks who are members of the European Central Bank, commercial banks, who should just be taking a shafting for it, instead...
	They're given the option.
	If they want, they can, you know, they could roll over a little bit and, you know, just give a little break and, oh, don't pay now.
	But they're not going to do that.
	Of course not.
	Of course not.
	It's voluntary, rollover of the loans.
	Like, please.
	Meanwhile, excuse me, I have to get back to my egg where I ride my haikus.
	They should go there and blow that egg up.
	Someone's got to do something about this.
	This is nuts.
	Do you think they'll ever get it?
	Well, the Greek thing is really interesting.
	There was some woman, I guess she's a Greek politician, in the Communist Party.
	And she actually made the most sense.
	And she was on that show Newsnight, that thing that's on once a week at the BBC, which is kind of the 60 Minutes of England.
	With Jeremy?
	Jeremy Paxton?
	Yeah, with Paxton.
	He was on.
	I like that.
	He was grilling everybody.
	And they had a conservative from the UK and her, and they were in agreement on everything.
	It's kind of like watching Kucinich and Ron Paul agree on certain things.
	But just a couple of little feelings for this Greece thing.
	Why don't you play Greece rant one?
	How far you think the elites in Europe are disconnected from the people in Europe, and that's true of your government as well.
	It's true of the government of Greece.
	Definitely they are completely disconnected.
	I think that it's like an autocracy and we're going back about 300 years.
	We lose every working class right.
	We're losing things that European people fought for that and there is no future.
	My dear, Eurozone is not a state.
	It's just an area.
	Some make money.
	I think that the North is making money while the South loses.
	You can't have the same currency, the same measures with exporting countries like Germany and importing countries like Greece.
	And after all, you can't have people saying, I did a mistake.
	I trusted you.
	I put you in.
	If you go to any back in London...
	You know, there's a meme here, which I picked up on.
	If I can just interrupt your two grease clips.
	There is something going on amongst the elites.
	They are now segregating elites from the political elites.
	And I caught this with Lucifer Clinton.
	Oh, really?
	Yes, I did.
	And you're seeing this pop up everywhere.
	Now the politicians are calling out the elites, where, of course, the politicians actually are the elites, but if you don't have a political badge, so there's some kind of thing going on.
	Listen to this.
	Well, you might be right, because here we are listening to Newsnight, and the host is using the word elite, which I thought was actually kind of unusual to begin with.
	And now that you mention it, they're obviously going to bring...
	By the way, we've been using the term elite...
	A long time.
	A long time.
	For years.
	Yeah, since the beginning of the show.
	Just specifically refer to the same people they're referring to here.
	So, yeah...
	But now they're moving it over.
	For some reason, you're probably right, but maybe it's a battle of the elites.
	But whatever the case is, it's definitely something we have to keep an eye on.
	What she had to talk about had nothing to do with what you noticed, but...
	Let me play the Lucifer clip, and then we can get back to Greece.
	Now, she's talking about the Arab Spring in relation to, I can't remember if it was Libya or Syria.
	Does it matter?
	No, Pakistan.
	That's right, Pakistan.
	This was all part of the financing bullcrap.
	And what I think, John, is because people, the common man like you and I, you know, the common douchebag with the podcast, are saying elites, elites, elites, and they're hearing this now after all these years.
	Like, well, we better deflect some of this and make sure when people say elites, they're talking about the people who finance us but don't have the political badge.
	Listen to Hillary.
	Now I would argue that is only part of the story because clearly there is at work in Pakistani society and particularly among the elite which let us remember manipulate public opinion to a great extent to further what they view as either national or sectoral or even personal interests.
	So I think we have to recognize that the over...
	There it is.
	That's a great quote.
	She just described herself, basically.
	Yeah.
	And she says, remember.
	Sorry, is this an history lesson somewhere that I had to remember about what elites do?
	I'm watching you do it, Hillary.
	You have to play that clip over again.
	I've got to hear it from the beginning.
	Okay.
	Hold on.
	Let me play that for you.
	Now, I would argue that is only part of the story.
	Because clearly there is at work in Pakistani society, and particularly among the elite, which, let us remember, manipulate public opinion to a great extent to further what they view as either national or sectoral or even personal interests.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Let us remember.
	What?
	What do we have to remember?
	It's very interesting.
	That clip is interesting.
	That clip is deep.
	Yep.
	That's why it caught my eye.
	Ear, rather.
	So there is something going on with this anti-elitist movement, and I believe it is a protectionist measure of the political elite to deflect the anger towards the The people who finance them, essentially.
	Yeah, they don't want the mobs running up into Hillsboro, California and burning down the rich people's homes.
	Exactly.
	And I think, of course, Greece is...
	You have to start doing this now because you've got to throw some water on the fire.
	Yeah.
	They're going crazy, and they're going to be throwing bricks through your window, and then you've got the Spanish that are ready to do that, because they've got borderline, if not already, rioting going on.
	I don't know about the Portuguese, because nobody's talking about Portugal, but they never report anything, and the same with the Irish.
	We don't know what's going on.
	Nobody reports anything.
	No.
	Well, CNN, actually.
	You want to play the Grease rant, too?
	Is that something we want to listen to?
	Yeah, the Grease rant, too, is just good backgrounder that I think people should, this is just something you should consider.
	This is, I think, the real rant about, you know, the way people are handling and talking about Grease.
	This woman, I think, has a good argument to make.
	Loud into the euro in the first place.
	You didn't meet the conditions, and now it's obvious why.
	I've been listening about mathematics and I've been listening about economy.
	You cannot judge a country like if it was a big company, a huge company like Lehman Brothers.
	This is a country.
	This is a state.
	And this is a state of living human beings, very hardly working people.
	So when Lehman Brothers fell down and blew out the whole system, nobody accused the employees of Lehman Brothers.
	They accuse the system, they accuse the directors, so it is a political problem.
	Europe, and I've been listening about 27 democracies, with what kind of growth, what kind of economic system, some of them were created after wars.
	We had the Yugoslavia, now we have three, four, five different states.
	We've got different economies, we've got different interests, and we cannot have a Europe that uses Euro as a weapon to colonize poorer countries or different system countries.
	So, the problem now for Greece, it's not only surviving, it's designing the future.
	You cannot expect anybody to have a state with no future.
	Okay, we'll leave it there.
	Thank you all.
	Cut her off.
	Shut up!
	You're making too much sense.
	Shut up.
	Be quiet.
	Get her off.
	Cut her off now.
	Yeah, that's...
	Oh, well.
	You know, that reminds me of the way they cut her off.
	And I saw, I've been watching a lot of people getting cut off.
	Cut off, yeah.
	On the CNN report.
	But also with Charlie Rose and those Whitey Bulger quotes, there was, every time they'd go into the FBI and the corruption, potential corruption, big shots that need to be brought down, Rose would change the subject to, so how is Whitey Bulger like the guy in The Departed?
	Yeah.
	You just throw in the question about the movie.
	Right back to the...
	Yeah, exactly.
	Tell me about the sexuality.
	It's in your DNA. That's right.
	That's a real Charlie Rose question right there.
	So with all of this actual news going on and people...
	I was trying to explain to my neighbors.
	They had us over for cocktails last night.
	Cocktails.
	Cocktails.
	Yeah.
	My neighbors are nice.
	The Gabers, we call them.
	Hope they're not listening because they will never invite me back.
	No, they don't care.
	No, they really don't.
	But it's funny because, you know, they're two middle-aged guys.
	They're like 60.
	Yeah, close to 60.
	And...
	I think they voted for Obama, but they really are kind of right-wing conservative in a lot of their thinking.
	It's very interesting.
	And they said, hey, have you ever read that Economic Hitman book?
	Like, pour me another drink, bitch.
	We gotta talk.
	So all of this stuff is going on, all this news, and people are kind of catching on.
	We're not the only alternative media outlet.
	Meanwhile, CNN, apparently they can't do the reporting themselves anymore.
	This blew me away.
	So we've got like, what is the Fed doing?
	What is going to happen with joblessness?
	And this is all about the United States.
	We can't report on it, so CNN puts together the following awesome journalistic package.
	You can find them all over New York City.
	Psychics.
	Our first stop, Karen Thorne.
	He has one of the best charts.
	Reading the astrological signs of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, she sees hope for the global markets, even as key Fed economic stimulus ends.
	Did you see this report by any chance?
	This is, no, but I would have, I probably would have recorded it too.
	This is pathetic.
	His moon sign, which is the person's other side, is Scorpio.
	So the markets may not fall at the end of June when things are...
	No, because I see him having success primarily in July, August, and September.
	And October.
	John, just so you know, he's going to have success in October.
	But it gets better.
	This next guy is even better.
	In October, he's really, really happy.
	I don't think he would be, right?
	If things were going terribly.
	This says new people.
	Using cards he's used to tell the fortunes of stars like Princess Grace and John Lennon, Andrew...
	Yeah, how'd that work out for those two?
	They get shot.
	It's like you'll have a long and prosperous life, both of you.
	Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
	Also sees hope for the U.S. economy.
	Actually, it's not bad.
	Promising outlook, profitable changes, so come maybe later in, you know, September, October.
	Because we've got an August deadline for the debt ceiling to be raised, and if they are able to do that, then the United States sort of has a better path moving forward.
	Uh-huh.
	Well, it does look like it will improve.
	As for Greece, my feeling is that all of Europe is starting to see what Greece has seen.
	Other countries are going to see the same thing you watch.
	For Serena Stanley, put your hands up.
	Wow, he's a clairvoyant.
	Oh my gosh.
	And now the best one, she has to pick a card from the tarot.
	Pick a card.
	Feel it.
	And then gravitate to the card that you think that's going to answer that question.
	Is there going to be job creation enough to change the jobless number, or the unemployment number I should say, and that people will once again feel confident and have money in their pockets?
	What do you think it's going to be, John?
	She pulls the card.
	Which card do you think it is?
	What will the card reveal?
	What will this investigative journalism from CNN tell us about the future of employment in our country?
	Well, if the tarot reader is any good, she's going to say, well, it looks like we're going to have continued unemployment for about eight years.
	Pull out a card.
	It was volatile.
	This is a Four of Cups card.
	So it's running all on emotions.
	And the emotions of people are angry.
	Skeptics may scuck.
	It's the Four of Cups.
	So what?
	What does that mean?
	It's volatile.
	The market's volatile.
	That's interesting.
	Never heard of such a thing.
	Can you believe that this is news?
	The fact that they would waste time on it, you mean?
	The whole package was three minutes.
	A three-minute package.
	Now, they've done it like the bullshit show that is called Bullshit, I think, on Showtime with Penn and Teller.
	And just, you know, shown, you know, evidenced that these guys are full of crap over the years and, you know, show...
	If they'd have done it as a story like that, with that conclusion, I would have said that was pretty good.
	But if they play it straight like the way you describe it, it's repugnant.
	Oh, and a good word.
	And we have a jingle for that.
	Turn off your television.
	There you go.
	It's from Paul the Book Guy.
	You know, who's running that place?
	CNN? Yeah.
	I know.
	We aren't because she was not hot.
	If we were running it, we could be like, alright, well we'll have to do this segment then.
	Okay.
	At least make her hot.
	Before we get into anything else, this is something I didn't quite understand.
	You know, I of course went to whitehouse.gov, as I do as a good human resource and citizen of Gitmo Nation, to watch our president and to see his weekly address, which is again all about manufacturing.
	We've got to get more slaves in the factories, which is where this whole anti-college meme is coming from.
	We got no factories to put the slaves in.
	I mean, we have factories, but there's not any new jobs.
	No, no, no.
	We know there's a two million job mismatch.
	It's because we don't need people who can tighten bolts.
	We need people who can operate a computer to run the factory.
	It's something like that.
	Imble's all over this.
	But Carnegie Mellon.
	Now, Carnegie Mellon, that's a commercial college, isn't it?
	It's not a state college, if that's what you're asking.
	No, I mean, but you pay...
	I think it's...
	It's a private university.
	Right.
	So it's $52,000 a semester for the fall semester.
	No, it can't be that high.
	I looked it up.
	Fall 2011.
	It's like $48,000, and then if you add the $6,000 room and board, it's like $52,000.
	Wow.
	Yeah, for undergrad.
	So the president's at Carnegie Mellon.
	And, you know, basically it's a commercial.
	And it's a commercial for the robot school at Carnegie Mellon.
	Yeah, I actually visited that robot school.
	Well, listen to what he says.
	So first of all, he's clearly on a sales mission because, you know, if you're doing sales and you go around and you have a little cheat sheet about who you're supposed to thank at the local thing and he screws it up, he doesn't even know the guy's name.
	He's like, uh...
	Thank you.
	Hello, Pittsburgh!
	Hello, Pittsburgh!
	Buenas tardes!
	It is good to be back.
	Thank you, Senator Casey and Mayor Ravenstahl, County Executive Dan Honorato, State Auditor Jack Wagner.
	Jack Morgan and Wagner.
	Hey, buenas tardes!
	And all of you for having me back here at Carnegie Mellon.
	It is good to be here.
	And it seems like every time I'm here, I learn something.
	So for those of you who...
	Seems.
	Words are important.
	You're not really learning something.
	But now listen to the pitch and then listen to the weirdest comment ever.
	Are you thinking about Carnegie Mellon?
	It's a terrific place.
	And you guys are doing just great work.
	I just met with folks from some cutting-edge companies and saw some of...
	They're inventions here in your National Robotics Engineering Center.
	But that's not the only reason I'm here.
	You might not know this, but one of my responsibilities as Commander-in-Chief is to keep an eye on robots.
	Now, when he says that, my head whips.
	Like, really?
	You mean the other robot that's programmed to go around the country?
	Is that...
	Well, and he says more!
	Wow.
	And I'm pleased to report that the robots you manufacture here seem peaceful.
	Oh, was he trying to be funny?
	And we can put in one more.
	At least for now.
	My goodness.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Proof.
	The president has a robot double.
	The Manchurian robot.
	From Pittsburgh.
	Hello, Pittsburgh!
	Buenas tardes!
	Guten Abend!
	I'm telling you, it's programmed.
	People don't believe me.
	Or you, it was your theory that there's two Obamas.
	It's just now I'm adding to it the one...
	It's not a theory!
	It's proof!
	It's not a theory!
	What are we talking about?
	He actually did screw up something really big.
	I think for the news media, when Sarah Palin screws up something like Paul Revere or whatever, I don't even remember what the whole thing was.
	Oh, a history lesson!
	We have entire short-form programs.
	A whole week of it.
	So, the president goes to see the 10th Mountain Division, I believe.
	And this actually got a lot of servicemen pretty riled up about his...
	And this was like an eight-minute speech, and it was broadcast live on television.
	And, of course, if you want, you can go back and take a look at the video.
	It's in the show notes at 316.nashownotes.com.
	Have a listen to this.
	First time I saw the 10th Mountain Division, you guys were in southern Iraq.
	When I went back to visit Afghanistan, you guys were the first ones there.
	I had the great honor of seeing some of you because a comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn't receiving it posthumously.
	Now, unfortunately, Monti Actually was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously at that very ceremony that the President is talking about when he gave, I think it's Private Guanta.
	The Medal of Honor, who was alive.
	So he's screwing up the names of, you know, he's like, oh, I've got your back, and I remember so well, and I'm completely with you.
	Yet he messes up the fact that Monty was alive and received the Medal of Honor, not posthumously, while he actually did at that very ceremony.
	And people are very angry about this.
	Well, the veterans would be.
	They get angry about this stuff.
	But, you know, because the guy seems to be blasé.
	But, you know, the fact of the matter is...
	You've got this guy who's never at the White House.
	He's on the road constantly and he's doing probably a speech a day.
	We only see a few of them.
	Because every once in a while you turn on CNN or C-SPAN and there he is giving a talk to somebody in some high school.
	And it's like he obviously has to be an actor because they have to brief him just before.
	Make sure you thank this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy.
	They don't give him pronunciations and the guy's going to botch it.
	And he tries to memorize these things and And he's tired.
	And let's be honest, this is not the robot.
	He's tired.
	Yeah.
	You know, they're giving him, like, sleeping pills to sleep on the plane, and then you get confused.
	Yeah, that's why these guys get so old so fast, or they dope them up.
	That's right.
	Now, listen, now, just before that, he said something that wasn't necessarily a gaffe, but I was like, really?
	Throughout my service, first as a senator, and then as a presidential candidate.
	That's service?
	A presidential candidate?
	That's part of your service?
	Wow.
	Excuse me?
	Ten point catch.
	I like it.
	That's part...
	Hey, darling.
	How'd it go?
	Okay.
	Part of your presidential...
	Your service is presidential candidate?
	I'm sorry.
	That's just...
	You weren't serving the service men.
	Ah!
	Service men and women.
	Anyway, so...
	I love it that...
	My service is presidential...
	My service is presidential candidate.
	My service is taking a nap?
	Boop, beep, boop, boop, that's not compute.
	Hello everybody, buenas tardes, guten Abend.
	Bienvenue, willkommen.
	Welcome to the White House.
	My service is presidential candidate.
	Hello everybody.
	Hey Pittsburgh, how you doing?
	That's a good catch.
	Yeah, well, that one I caught.
	The other one was, of course, at least five service personnel who listen to this program who say, you know, this is pissing us off and what's making us more angry is no one's talking about it.
	You know, the guy should be called on it.
	He should say, I'm sorry.
	But not pontificate and say, like, oh, I got your back when I was presidential candidate.
	I got your back.
	I have no greater responsibility and honor than to send you to war in harm's way.
	What was your name, son?
	Weren't you dead?
	Sorry?
	Beep, boop, beep, boop, beep.
	Yeah, good one.
	Yeah, I hate to say it, but yeah.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	Before you start, John, I'd just like to mention that the podcast licenses are a hit.
	People are loving them.
	I spend as much time on the show notes as I do now.
	Because, you know, a podcast license is not just out of thin air.
	You know, I have to create it.
	I mean, it's relatively simple, but it's still manual labor because I have to create the domain name.
	I have to make sure I don't misspell it.
	I think we had 30 podcast licenses.
	And Christina was here, my human resource.
	And she brought her, quote, friend over, Juan.
	Juan?
	Juan.
	Yeah, nice kid.
	Nice kid from Corpus Christi.
	A Mexican kid.
	But from Texas.
	And I immediately went, hey, I got a message here from your governor.
	And you can always follow me on Twitter.
	And he went like, yep, that's our governor on Twitter.
	An idiot.
	Y'all, he said he's an idiot.
	He's an idiot.
	And I was talking about it with Christina.
	He said, what's a podcast license?
	You don't have one?
	I had him going for like five seconds.
	What do you mean?
	In order to listen to podcasts, you have to have a podcast license.
	He's like, really?
	And then he's like, oh, wait a minute.
	He said, yeah, it's probably going to happen.
	I'm like, smart kid.
	I like this.
	Keep him around, Christina.
	I'm liking this kid.
	He's good.
	So they're like fire.
	People love him.
	Glad that you got that off your chest.
	So, let's thank a few people.
	But I want to go back up and mention Matt Coughlin, who sent us 333.33 for this episode.
	And he did send a note in, because he needs to be dropped on the birthday list.
	Oh, okay.
	It's his 33rd birthday on June 27th, which is tomorrow, I believe.
	Um...
	He says he's feeling he's going to have a good year, but he needs a little karma.
	Okay, let's hit him with that right now.
	You've got karma.
	And he's doing something a lot of people are doing I want to mention.
	He says, I'm also upgrading my $5 a month subscription to the more numerologically appropriate 1111.
	And he says he'll be a knight any minute now.
	And this is Matt, right?
	Yeah.
	Matt Coughlin.
	Let me make sure I got him on the birthday list.
	From Crescent City, which used to be Floodsville, which seems to have been moved to North Dakota.
	Yeah.
	Lee Kilgallen in Feltham, Middlesex, UK, which is nice.
	We don't get as many UK donors as I'd like.
	Made a donation of 121.76 for this one.
	Glad my grandma's bra story was a giggle.
	That's where it came from.
	This is absolutely true as well.
	By the way, it reminds me of the breaking TSA story where they took some 95-year-old grandma and made her...
	Take off her adult diaper?
	Yeah.
	Awesome work, guys.
	Yeah, good work.
	Yeah, way to go.
	And nobody, of course, you know, just continues to occur.
	He's got 121.76, which includes a 55.10, double nickels on a dime, 33 to 33 for a podcast license.
	You've got to put him on the list.
	Yep.
	33.33 for the cost of my 10.10.10 ring.
	I got one and know how much work you guys put in to cover the cost of getting it sorted.
	What 10-10-10 ring?
	I think he means the 10-10-10 coin.
	Okay.
	About time I coughed up some dough.
	Can I also get a little karma?
	My uncle's been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
	Sorry.
	So I'd like to go to give him the karma and his family once again.
	Okay.
	Sorry?
	No, that's okay.
	Give him that.
	He needs a de-douche, but they don't need to be at the same time.
	No, I want to give a separate karma for his uncle.
	There you go.
	You've got karma.
	And then the de-douching for Lee himself?
	Yeah.
	You've been de-douched.
	Yeah, good.
	Now Lee's good to go.
	Don Hurto in Homer, New York, which I think is a great name for a town, $75.
	James Briscoe, who may or may not be a black knight, but he's not on the list at the moment.
	Bayshore, New York.
	Heya, JCDAC and friends, I mailed in a fun donation about two weeks ago.
	Yes, we did get it.
	Whereupon I donated about 1,000 rupees.
	Yay!
	After hearing Adam loudly proclaim, send us your rupees on show 310.
	Hoping to hear it read aloud, it was only $20 on the show in return for an executive producer-level donation.
	Dream on.
	I've got to shut up, I guess.
	This is not good for the show.
	I guess either my handwriting was too bad.
	By the way, your handwriting, I do have his note here.
	His handwriting wasn't too bad.
	It was typed.
	Really?
	Shitty handwriting.
	Horrible.
	Anyway, it's this 1,000 rupee note, which is now behind a frame, and when another 1,000 comes in, that would make it easier for us to split the bill.
	I also enclosed another train schedule from Rona Coco or something.
	I don't have it in front of me, but he wanted me to pronounce it because he knew I'd mispronounce it.
	So I just decided it's Ron Con Com, which is Ron Con Com, some branch somewhere on the Long Island Railroad.
	Anyway, he felt the need to donate to make up for some truly awful things I've said in the past to the love of my life by earning some good karma.
	Okay, that means a shot right there.
	You've got karma.
	He doesn't want our karma.
	I can't take it back now.
	7381 from Briscoe.
	Mark Magpio in Cerritos, California, needs a birthday shout-out to his cousin Pip.
	Yeah, we got that one lined up.
	Pip!
	Pip!
	Who's turning 30 on the 24th.
	That's almost as bad as Henri.
	And Pip needs an In the Morning.
	All right, Pippi.
	In the morning.
	Then we have $50 from Arthur Kessler, George Vanderhorst, Black Knight Vanderhorst to you.
	A couple of $50 donations.
	We'll check on those and make sure that wasn't a mistake.
	John Mazzarella in East Boston, Massachusetts who must know all about the Whitey Bulger thing.
	Hey guys, I'm a new listener and loving every minute of your show.
	Please accept my initial donation and request for dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	He recently graduated and started a job at a state organization.
	The only way I can accept money from the government with a clean conscience is if I donate some of it to you guys.
	And finally, John, which is thank you very much, John.
	And the other John is John Tirada in Pasadena, California, who's donated 50 along with Peter Totes in Sugar Land, Texas.
	And that'll be our...
	I do have a couple that came in over the transom and I want to thank these people.
	Brian...
	Lastin, double nickels on the dime.
	He wants a shot of karma and a douchebag call out to Noodles Kid.
	Douchebag!
	You've got karma.
	Now we have $50 it looks like from Waldo and Gitmo Nation Big Pharma.
	Where's that?
	He's the one who wanted the douchebag call to Noodles Kid.
	Noodles Kid.
	Yeah, the Noodles Kid.
	I don't have that clip handy.
	And finally, I think that's about it.
	Well, I have a make good here.
	And this was during the transition between Eric and Buzzkill Jr.
	This is for Kelly Spears.
	This was supposed to happen on Father's Day.
	So we give Kelly Spears a belated Happy Father's Day shout out to her wonderful husband Aaron.
	Now, Aaron does NoAgendaFilms.com.
	He constantly raises the bar on what a father should be, and I'm very, very thankful to him for having him as a dad.
	She also wants to say that she bought two books from FreeHallowBooks.com for her dad and for her father-in-law.
	They're awesome.
	All producers should check it out.
	So we apologize, Kelly, that we didn't get that on Father's Day.
	But of course, Father's Day itself is a retail scam.
	Totally.
	Every day can be Father's Day.
	So we hope we make up with that.
	I like to pick things out of the bag from time to time.
	In the morning, Adam and John says, BK, I decided to give PayPal another chance and start a $5 a month subscription, which we appreciate, of course, when people do that, so I can get regular, you know, all right?
	Since times are tight, I resorted to some creative financing.
	I love Make Magazine, but I can get it all at the library, so I canceled my subscription there.
	I really like Leo and all he does, but he has some pretty substantial sponsorships, so I canceled my monthly subscription there.
	All I have to do is kick in a few more bucks and I can cover it for the year.
	If we get our pay cut back in July as promised, I'm looking forward to my first producer credit.
	Sad to admit to paying for something that really pisses me off, but no agenda really does piss me off at times.
	I get so pissed, you have to report on this stuff.
	If I were a younger man, I would surely turn to anarchy from listening to no agenda.
	Anyway, he's in Detroit.
	We're trying to be funny here.
	We're trying to make...
	Yeah, we're trying to make...
	Trying to turn anyone into a radical.
	I want the FBI and other people listening in to note that.
	Yeah, we are...
	Well, we are kind of like...
	And you can find us!
	And you can always follow me on Twitter.
	That's right.
	That's where you can find us, everybody.
	So let's do some birthdays here for a second.
	All right, this is what we just talked about.
	Mark Magpio says happy birthday to Pip, who turned 30 on the 24th.
	And Matt Coghlan, one of our executive producers today, is celebrating his birthday tomorrow on the 27th.
	Happy birthday from all of your friends here at the New Agenda Program.
	And, of course, the way to support this show and keep it running is by going to one address.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A. Should you have some troubles with that, you can always go to noagendanation.com.
	Dvorak.com.org sometimes is filtered out for inappropriate language and nudity.
	There's no inappropriate language nor nudity on that site, but the word uncensored tends to get some ISPs to just block it without ever looking at it.
	This is all mechanically done.
	It's a scandal.
	It's abhorrent.
	Now, did we Dame Janice Kang?
	Because I recall that we kind of, I think we did, so I'm not sure.
	I think we did.
	But she's on the list again.
	That's my mistake.
	But if she's not, then it's your mistake as well, right?
	Well, she becomes a black knight.
	That's even better.
	But we appreciate every form of support for the show, no matter how large or how small.
	Particularly our $5 a month or $11.11.
	Those are the lucky subscriptions.
	Of course, the podcast licenses and the Mothership Boarding Pass and the numerology stuff is really good.
	Make sure that if you can, you want to get on the 333.
	And remember, we've got our night rings.
	Yes, John?
	Yeah, okay.
	What were you going to say?
	I have a handwritten note from Brian Lastin who gave us something.
	Okay, great.
	The check got separated.
	Why don't you just grab your blade?
	Okay, here.
	Matthew Moss, Chris Ruddy, and Russell Keller, please step forward.
	The three of you have supported the No Agenda podcast program in excess of $1,000 or at least $1,000.
	If it's $999, we throw in the extra penny.
	Therefore, we proudly knight the...
	As follows.
	Matthew Moss, Sir Matthew, Sir Chris Ruddy, and Sir Russell Keller, you are all now Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Please take your well-deserved seat.
	Extend your finger for the ring.
	It's made of white gold and tungsten.
	When you hit someone in the mouth with it, it leaves a lasting impression.
	If you want to see them, check it out at rings.nashownotes.com.
	We're going to have to do another order, I think, pretty soon.
	I noticed that...
	Yeah, I know.
	Well, we saved for it.
	It took us like six months to get these out.
	Well, yeah, but...
	These Chinese vendors are inconsistent with the way they can do stuff.
	And, you know, you can't find an American company that will make these rings anymore.
	Well, Jostens makes rings, but we can't...
	They're all outsourced.
	I guarantee they're shipping.
	I know they are.
	But besides that, we can't put in an order big enough at Jostens.
	Because, you know, we always have a small select group of knights.
	But it's great, and I can't wait to be meeting all of you on the road.
	We're only a couple weeks away, John.
	July 15th is when Ms.
	Nikki and I take off, and we start in Virginia at the Protectorate of Baroness Maggie Vincent of Virginia.
	She sent me a fun little note.
	She says, hey, you know, I'm looking at the RV, and you might want to, like, not go over 55, because I'm not too sure about the front tires.
	Yeah!
	Maggie, I'll pay for them.
	Put them on.
	Put some new tires on, please.
	Now I'm worried.
	You have to look at the front tires yourself.
	She might be conservative.
	Women have mixed...
	No offense to the women out there.
	She's a techno expert.
	It doesn't matter.
	I told her, tires all around.
	I'll figure out a way.
	You might as well put a couple of tires on.
	Of course.
	I think she spent...
	Some real money on...
	She said she kind of neglected it, so the couple things that had to be fixed up, like the generator.
	The story's slowly changing.
	It looks good on the outside.
	No, it's going to be great.
	So we're very excited.
	And if you have an idea for us for a stop along the way, please email Ms.
	Mickey.
	It's Mickey at Curry.com, M-I-C-K-Y. And you should also put in a little details.
	She asked specifically, because people just say, Hey, I come by, I'm here.
	So a couple of details are appreciated.
	And I also, on the HotPockets2008.com website, I put up a picture of the map.
	She's got a physical map with pins in it now.
	And she's very serious.
	She's spending days on this now.
	Yeah, you might want to also consider an alternative site since we keep plugging Hot Pockets 2008 tour in case you get a cease and desist from Kraft or whoever makes that stuff.
	I think it's Nestle Foods.
	No, it's okay.
	It'll take them years to find out about what we're doing.
	They're like, that's an old site.
	It's 2008.
	What are we going to do about it?
	It doesn't matter now.
	And for those of you who are wondering, the reason why it's 2008 is because our president apparently has been reprogrammed to 2008 as he signed the guest book at the Westminster Abbey during his 2011 visit, Barack Obama 2008.
	And now, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for our favorite topic on a Sunday afternoon, the only part of No Agenda where we actually do have an agenda.
	John's gonna hum the Sunday time.
	So if you can get a hold of this morning Sunday Times, the photo, or go on the internet and see if you can find the photo, because every Sunday they have the worst photo.
	And this one talks about behind gay marriage and unlikely mix of forces, you know, with all these mixed messages about Republicans.
	Are they gay?
	Or why did they do it and the Democrats didn't?
	But what they show these guys, the guys who are, I guess, behind it, they show a bunch of fat Republicans, fat white old men, That just look like a bunch of douchebags.
	It's just unbelievable.
	What's the title of the story?
	I want to see if I can find it.
	The title of the story is Behind Gay Marriage or a Persuasive Cuomo.
	Right, I can't find it.
	The headline across the top of the paper is Behind Gay Marriage and Unlikely Mixed Forces.
	Then below that, the story is titled, A Persuasive Cuomo, Rich Republicans in a Shifting Political Dynamic.
	And the story is filled with memes and I can't even deconstruct it because it confuses me.
	And they're all like twiddling their thumbs and holding their hands.
	Yeah, there you go.
	It's like a sweaty picture.
	It's just a weird picture to have on the front page.
	It's not flattering.
	No.
	Shows Cuomo surrounded by these guys.
	I mean, it could be a...
	How many of them do you think are bicurious?
	I think the one in the middle.
	Cuomo.
	Look at the guy on the right.
	That guy?
	Yeah, he's a bear.
	He's a total bear.
	So, okay, here's the stories.
	There's nothing really to get into, except just on the superficial basis, there's nothing really good on this front page at all.
	I mean, it's actually kind of pathetic.
	Insiders sound an alarm amid natural gas rush.
	They're talking about shale oil that is always never a good thing to extract, and they're trying to say that there's a natural gas bubble in the market, which makes no sense since natural gas is one of the most depressed...
	Energy sources in terms of price of anything available.
	So I'm not getting what the point of that is.
	A top TV sets of power drain runs non-stop.
	This is a story about how set-top boxes are chewing up like...
	What?
	I've got a number here.
	Yeah, it's at 446 kilowatt hours a year.
	About 10% more than a 21 cubic foot energy-efficient refrigerator.
	Who cares?
	Yeah.
	Really?
	I don't know what the point of that one is.
	A construction boom in Gaza's lingering ruins is a real interesting story to me because this is kind of making it...
	I don't know if this is pro or anti-Israel, but they're trying to make it sound as though there's a building boom going on in Gaza, which is like, is that a good message or a bad message or is this anti-Israel?
	I'm not sure.
	The New York Times is notoriously anti-Israel, so I can't figure it out.
	And then finally, the last story, which is a bridge, which is an old story here in the Bay Area.
	And I don't know why it's so promotional.
	The bridge they're building here, we're building a new span to the Bay Bridge, which is way over budget cost.
	Hasn't they been building that for like 10 years?
	It's not going to be done until 2014.
	So they're building and building and all the pieces are from China.
	And this has been a scandal because every once in a while a piece comes over.
	That is like not welded right.
	And luckily we have good inspectors who check the welds and they look in and say, this is no good.
	And so they had to either ship them back.
	Is that actually what they say?
	This is no good.
	I was an inspector once.
	That's what you say.
	You also write it up.
	You write it down.
	This is no good.
	This is no good.
	So the wells were no good.
	And so I don't know.
	They're shipping this thing back and forth and back and forth.
	I'm not sure.
	Whatever the case is, we don't apparently have steel workers here anymore.
	So all the steel is being made in China.
	And then this article is a very promotional piece.
	And it's written out of Shanghai by David Barboza.
	And he says, talk about outsourcing at a sprawling manufacturing complex here.
	Hundreds of Chinese laborers are now completing work on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
	And he goes on to promote the fact that China wants to become the largest part of China's continual move up the global economic value chain from cheap toys to Apple iPads to commercial jetliners.
	Well, that's interesting.
	What commercial jetliners are the Chinese making?
	None that I know of, but it's apparently a hint.
	As it aims to become the world's civil engineer, which is not a good thing for anybody.
	Well, the Chinese are making jets, right?
	We know they're making jets, and they've got an aviation department somewhere.
	Yeah, they're making these mediocre jets, a second rate.
	I wouldn't fly it.
	But, you know, they could probably improve because they steal our technology and then they just incorporate it.
	But I don't know anything about, I mean, maybe they're making some parts of a Boeing jet.
	I detect an undertone of anti-Chinaism, John.
	Don't count on it.
	From cheap toys to Apple iPads to commercial jetliners.
	What commercial jetliner is the Chinese making?
	Well, we'll find out.
	And if it flies like my iPad, we're in for fun.
	I still have the iPad.
	That's the whole front page with the big Citibank ad at the bottom.
	Yeah, that's great.
	There's nothing.
	This is really boring week.
	And this is the actual paper paper.
	Yeah.
	I have it right here in front of me.
	Hear it?
	All right.
	So that concludes today's segment.
	John's gonna hum the Sunday time.
	I've been looking at a story, John, that it bothers me.
	And you can probably almost immediately figure out why it bothers me.
	This is for the...
	What's the title of this?
	This came out on Associated Press, so you know it's the truth.
	It's about the power grid experiment.
	And I don't like experiments in general.
	I was like, oh, we're going to experiment on something.
	And I don't know if you heard about this.
	A year-long experiment with America's electric grid could mess up traffic lights, security systems, and some computers and make plug-in clocks and appliances like programmable coffee makers run up to 20 minutes fast.
	So apparently...
	Huh?
	Yeah.
	How does a coffee maker run fast?
	Well, that means it'll make the coffee 20 minutes early.
	So this is about the frequency of the power grid, which we run at 60 cycles in the United States of Gitmo Nation.
	And let me just read some of this article, and then maybe you can explain to me what's going on here.
	This is the U.S. Naval Observatory, who are quoted here.
	Since 1930, electric clocks have kept time based on the rate of the electrical current that powers them, which I believe to be true, at least the ones you plug into the wall.
	If the current slips off its usual rate, like happened in Sicily, We were talking about this just a couple weeks ago where Sicily clocks were running like 15 seconds fast because they have their own grid.
	I don't know what they do.
	They got hamsters in a wheel or something down there.
	So if the current slips off its usual rate, clocks run a little slower fast.
	Power companies now take steps to correct it and keep the frequency of the current and the time as precise as possible.
	The group that oversees the U.S. power grid is proposing an experiment that would allow more frequency variation than it does now without corrections.
	And the reason for this is to make the power supply more reliable, save money, and reduce what may be needless effort.
	And this is supposed to start mid-July.
	What do you mean needless effort?
	Well, apparently it's a pain in the ass to keep the thing running at 60 cycles.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	It's not like some guy's there with a big lever and he's wearing a big steering wheel.
	Oh, we're at 59!
	Come on, row faster!
	Row faster, slaves!
	Really?
	I mean, what effort does it take?
	Well, tweaking the power grid's frequency is expensive and takes a lot of effort, said Joe MacLeland, head of electric reliability for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
	Is anyone using the grid to keep track of time, he said?
	Let's see if anyone complains if we eliminate it.
	I don't get it.
	What this sounds like to me is they're regulating the frequency of the power grid to regulate the slaves.
	Well, that's something you'd come up with.
	Well, I totally believe that...
	It sounds to me as though...
	Here's what I would think immediately.
	There's some way of saving energy by changing the cycles per second, but still be able to bill the public for the full amount.
	In other words, gouge the customer.
	Right.
	Well, I like that.
	Through some mechanism that someone came up with.
	Look, if we do this at 58 cycles, we could actually make an extra $100,000 a month from these idiots.
	But it could be detrimental to some engines, like your mixer, for instance.
	I mean, these things are tuned to run at 60 cycles, and they could run hot.
	I mean, there's a lot of stuff.
	I think it's weird that they're just going to do this.
	Let's just see if anyone complains.
	And I remain that electricity runs all around us.
	It's at a constant rate.
	I have a feeling that if you tune that down or tune it up, you can affect people's behavior.
	Yeah, you would think that.
	Well, can you combat my theorem?
	Yeah, it's bullcrap.
	Okay.
	I do like your idea of, hey, let's just run this thing slow and charge them more.
	That's what everything else is doing.
	The whole thing is just to gouge the public.
	The poor public is just taking it up to shorts.
	Nobody says anything because nobody's smart enough to think to complain.
	I don't know.
	Well, he literally says...
	It's about making the grid more reliable.
	How does it make it more reliable?
	I don't know.
	It doesn't make sense.
	It's all over the place.
	The scope is all over the place.
	It's more reliable.
	How's that more reliable?
	What makes it more reliable?
	I'm going to give you what they say.
	Correcting the frequency for time deviations, which is not true.
	It's a frequency deviation, can cause other unnecessary problems for the grid.
	Apparently, the adjustment, making the hamsters run faster and the slaves rose faster, is bad for the grid.
	Correcting DV here.
	More?
	Oh, in the future...
	I don't even know that they...
	I didn't even know that they did this.
	You're telling me so we get this cycle per second slowdown and somebody comes in in the morning and says, oh my god, we've got to crank it up to 61 cycles for a while so people's clocks could be more accurate.
	Apparently.
	In the future, more use of renewable energy from the sun and wind...
	Oh, here we go.
	Yeah, here it is.
	...will mean more variations in frequency on the grid.
	Okay.
	Solar and wind power can drop off the grid with momentary changes in weather.
	Correcting those deviations is expensive and requires instant backup power to be always at the ready.
	Oh, but coincidentally, this is all coming from Carnegie Mellon, where our president just was.
	And all this stuff always fits together one way or the other.
	Weird.
	Yeah.
	Well, I know we have some electrical engineers out there who know about this stuff, and I'm sure they'll be weighing in and helping us.
	Well, actually, I need to find out, too, because it sounds like a column for me.
	Oh, yeah.
	Instant column.
	It's like instant karma, only different.
	Insta-column.
	So here's the most disturbing tweet of the week.
	And this, to me, was more disgusting than anything at Rep Wiener could have tweeted of his boner.
	Did you get this on your own Twitter account?
	In fact?
	And you can always follow me on Twitter.
	It was retweeted to me.
	This is from Senator John McCain.
	His tweet from Twitter.
	Let me read this tweet for you, and then see if you can keep breakfast down.
	In hashtag Egypt for biz delegation with Jeff Immelt at General Electric, at Coca-Cola, at Bechtel, at Marriott International, at Dow Chemical, at Boeing Corporate, at ExxonMobil.
	So this douchebag is in Egypt with Jeffrey Immelt And General Electric, Coca-Cola, Bechtel, which as we know from the Confessions of Economic Hitman, is the economic hitman company of choice.
	Marriott International, Dow Chemical, Boeing, and ExxonMobil, doing business.
	The elites!
	Total elites doing business in Egypt after the proponents of toppling the regime.
	Is this not the textbook example of how he's...
	What is the point of the tweet?
	He's a dick!
	Or somebody in his office.
	Let's face it, he doesn't know what a hashtag is from HashBrowns.
	Wow!
	Nice quote.
	What a...
	I mean, this is...
	It made me sick to my stomach.
	So first, we participate in helping to throw the guy out of Egypt.
	Bark!
	Good, bad, or indifferent.
	Maybe not our business.
	And then we take over the place.
	Which brings me to a clip.
	Oh, thank goodness.
	What you got going on, brother?
	Play the WikiLeaks clip because it brings up a bunch of issues.
	WikiLeaks clip for issues.
	...behavior harder to commit.
	But it will make local officials less likely to share information.
	Embarrassing behavior is just this side of abusive behavior.
	Only 12,000 out of a quarter million diplomatic cables have been published so far.
	But they've already had consequences.
	A dozen cables from Tunisia exposed widespread corruption there and helped fuel a revolution.
	And, arguably, had a domino effect.
	I mean, I don't want to give WikiLeaks credit for the transformation of the Arab world, but to the extent that Tunisia influenced Egypt, these cables played some role in the overthrow of the Mubarak regime.
	And these things are having an impact that I don't think any of us imagined at the time when it was just somebody handing us a huge trove of secret documents.
	Oh, exactly.
	So I'm listening to, this is an old Frontline report that came out way back when WikiLeaks was in the news, so I'm doing Ask Adam.
	You always catch me off, brother.
	You don't have to play it.
	Ask Adam.
	Brother.
	So anyway, here's an ask for you.
	WikiLeaks shows up in the news.
	Arab Spring begins because of some of these memos.
	There's a big stink about the 250,000 chasing this guy, Assange, around the world and all the rest of it.
	You always suspected that the guy was an agent of some sort.
	The publicity around the Tunisia thing creates a Tunisia situation and then Egypt falls.
	And then what happened to WikiLeaks?
	What happened to the WikiLeaks story and all the rest of these memos and stuff?
	I haven't heard an Assange.
	I can dig through the Sunday Times.
	There's no Julian Assange article in there.
	Why is it not a continuing story?
	Why is it all of a sudden suppressed and now we're off to something else?
	Oh, well, I can answer that.
	So first of all, unfortunately I have to say...
	WikiLeaks and Julia Assange, a complete CIA asset setup.
	It focused too much on the guy.
	He went awry.
	He's getting laid.
	All kinds of stuff.
	It was cute for a while.
	And then they had to resurrect it in a new form, because of course it was misused to kickstart the Arab Spring.
	By the way, the vendor who lit himself on fire, that has now been debunked.
	The guy doesn't exist.
	It never happened, essentially.
	There's no evidence of this guy, of this vendor, who got slapped.
	It turns out to be a myth in Tunisia that started the Tunisian Arab Spring.
	So what do they do?
	They bring out a new group.
	Lulsec.
	And now Lolzak, which, by the way, whose website with offending and illegal copyrighted music of the Love Boat, is still up and available.
	Yeah, it's registered through someone in the Bahamas.
	Big deal.
	It's not like the government can't change the DNS servers like they do for every other thing that infringes upon copyright.
	No.
	No, they're not doing that.
	It's still up.
	They have not subpoenaed tweeters for the account information of lolsec, yet they're starting to release information on Arizona, and now they're disbanding.
	So this is the new way it goes.
	We have the lone wolf hackers out there.
	Literally call them lone wolf hackers.
	We've got The Jester written in Hacksaw, and they steal documents, and they publish stuff from Tony Blair.
	David Cameron, one of his guys, just committed suicide himself in Glastonbury at the festival in the toilet.
	A heart attack?
	No, we think it was suicide.
	Okay, get it.
	It's suicide by pooping in a plastic box.
	And this is the new...
	So basically the guy...
	Yeah, I didn't know this story.
	This just broke.
	Christopher Shale.
	So basically the guy goes to a festival to kill himself, he just doesn't stay at home?
	No, he goes...
	Exactly.
	He's like, I want to go kill myself, so I think I'll go kill myself in the plastic poop box at Glastonbury.
	Please.
	Yeah, and literally it says, well, you know, heart attack.
	No, he was suicide.
	Suicided.
	But this is the new thing.
	Now, Lulzak is disbanding.
	No, we're disbanding.
	So this is the way it goes now.
	The techno experts who work for Lucifer Hillary Clinton are in there.
	Whatever needs to be stirred up, they stir it up.
	They release documents.
	I guess Arizona, we have to take care of this whole FBI... Fast and furious.
	Fast and furious things.
	We've got to either create a distraction or someone's got to hang for it.
	You watch.
	These documents have been released.
	This is the new way to do it.
	Just blame it on some hackers.
	Hackers.
	Yeah, and then you say, hey, I got nothing to do with it.
	I got nothing to do with it.
	Right.
	Hackers.
	It's all hackers.
	Lone Wolf Hackers, the jester.
	Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
	You've got Rachel Madcow doing this whole piece.
	Hackers!
	Hackers!
	Low security!
	How come you don't take down the website if you're so all over this?
	And the way the news is propagated gets worse.
	Like, broke into the servers of the website.
	It's like, please.
	What does that even mean?
	So, yeah, so WikiLeaks was used.
	Now it's not important anymore.
	I think I did see some reports they released on Haiti saying something like, yeah, it was profiteering by American companies.
	Duh.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	It's funny how they never break into Bill Clinton's foundation website and release some information from there.
	Huh?
	I call upon all hackers to now go to the Bill Clinton Foundation website, hack in there, and expose all their financial information.
	I can easily say it because it won't happen.
	Because it's not going to happen.
	Because this only happens to enemies of the Clintons.
	I'm going to go to hell for that.
	So I just found it interesting because I was going through my DVR because it's chewing up so much juice apparently that I ran into this old front line about WikiLeaks and Julian Assange and I realized that this guy has not been discussed for weeks and weeks and months.
	Nope.
	But meanwhile, they have this little bomb in there about the fact that he may have been the one that's, you know, some of these leaks about the Tunisians got the whole thing started or at least contributed to whatever was being planned.
	This whole thing is being orchestrated beautifully.
	Should we play the clip again from General Wesley Clark, just so people remember?
	Oh, might as well.
	Might as well, I think so.
	I love it.
	About ten days after 9-11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and And Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz, I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in.
	He said, sir, you've got to come in and talk to me a second.
	I said, well, you're too busy.
	He said, no, no.
	He says, we've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq.
	This was on or about the 20th of September.
	I said, we're going to war with Iraq?
	Why?
	He said, I don't know.
	He said, I guess they don't know what else to do.
	So I said, well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to Al-Qaeda?
	He said, no, no.
	He says, there's nothing new that way.
	They've just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.
	He said, I guess it's like, we don't know what to do about terrorists, but we've got a good military and we can take down governments.
	And he said, I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.
	So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan.
	I said, are we still going to war with Iraq?
	And he said, oh, it's worse than that.
	He said, he reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper, and he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meaning the Secretary of Defense's office today, and he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
	It looks like we're pretty close to Syria, which is on that list, and Iran.
	So you know that the International Criminal Court, which the elites in the United States of Gitmo Nation do not recognize, because if they did, they'd have to go there and get locked up.
	Indicted.
	Indicted.
	They get locked up, so they don't recognize it.
	However, it's kind of convenient that Lucifer Hillary Clinton is now saying, well, you know, the International Criminal Court is saying that Gaddafi is making his soldiers use rape as a weapon of war, a tool of war, and handing out Viagra to make their penises weapons of war.
	And now we have a new report.
	Prison guards in Iran are giving condoms to criminals, encouraging them to systematically rape young opposition activists locked up with them.
	Can you believe this report?
	Can you believe that they're trying?
	I mean, stop insulting me.
	They might as well say 33 condoms.
	Just slap me in the face with it.
	This is from The Guardian, by the way.
	Fine journalistic publication.
	Smuggled letters allege authorities are using mass rape as a weapon, this is the whole meme, inside Iran's most notorious prisons.
	Not any old prison, by the way.
	They have to be notorious.
	Notorious.
	Thank you.
	This is under the...
	It's actually, you'd love this article.
	You can find it in the show notes, 316.nashownotes.com.
	A series of dramatic letters written by dramatic letters.
	Love the adjectives.
	Yes.
	Written by prisoners and families of imprisoned activists allege that authorities are intentionally facilitating mass rape.
	Mass rape!
	What is this?
	Is that like a flash mob?
	It's 12.15.
	Time to rape.
	And using it as a form of punishment, it sickens me.
	Well, while we're on this topic, I was watching the McLaughlin report and he had a rundown of all the money we're spending in this Iraq, Afghanistan.
	Bye, bye!
	I'm doing my McLaughlin.
	That's not bad.
	A fiasco.
	But he talks about this, which is also discussed quite a bit in the New York Times and elsewhere.
	And people aren't paying enough attention to it, but play World's Largest Embassy in Iraq.
	Oh, yeah, we should talk more about this.
	The Iraqis, and we are talking about some kind of a residual American presence in terms of helping them with beyond December of 2011.
	Some believe that we are sinking our roots in Iraq, and all the signs point that way.
	The U.S. Embassy in Iraq, get this, is the largest embassy in the world with a current population of 8,000 people in the embassy.
	And the embassy soon expects to bill that 8,000, get this, up to 17,000 people.
	The U.S. embassy also has 19 planes and 24 helicopters.
	The amount of U.S. dollars spent in Iraq since day one is now more than $806 billion.
	Hey, who runs the embassies?
	Let me think.
	Hmm.
	Could it be Lucifer?
	Why do we need 17,000 people in any embassy, let alone one out in the middle of Nowheresville, Iraq?
	The size of the embassy is eight football fields.
	Isn't it bigger than the Pentagon?
	No, but it's getting to the size of the Pentagon, and it's in the middle of the green zone, which you're going to have to maintain.
	It's very expensive to maintain that whole green area, which is just completely, you can't get in and out of it.
	It's like a little city.
	It's like the Vatican in Rome.
	It's a city within a city.
	That's That's actually a great analogy.
	It is the Vatican in Iraq.
	Yeah, it is the Vatican.
	It's in the middle and they've got this huge embassy with its own, you know, choppers and airplanes and landing strip, I suppose.
	Golf club.
	They've got a couple golf.
	It's got to be at least two golf courses in there.
	And why to issue passports?
	Why else do we have an embassy?
	Meanwhile, you're in Spain, in the civilized world, and you can't get a passport for three days because the embassy is closed.
	Oh yeah, it's closed.
	It's like a little back office.
	How big was that office in Barcelona?
	And then it was also closed on the Spanish holiday, which isn't recognized in the U.S. It's...
	Out of control.
	Apparently the Americans in our embassies take off all American holidays and all local holidays.
	They're off half the time then.
	Do you think there's a picture of the Iraq embassy?
	I haven't been able to find one.
	Here's the other thing.
	The Iraq Embassy, I'm sure, looks like all the other American embassies.
	It's ugly.
	We have done nothing in terms of getting an architect to make these things so that actually, once we get run...
	I guess maybe it's because they always expect we're going to get run out.
	We don't want to leave them with anything pretty.
	Hey, it's IraqiEmbassy.us.
	Oh, wow!
	Look at this!
	The Embassy.
	Nice!
	We can get an internship there.
	Let's see if they have...
	Oh, here's a little...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	This is the wrong one.
	That's the Embassy of the Republic of Iraq.
	Now, if you go to Google, the Googles on the Twitters, and you do Iraq Embassy, and then you click on Images, I think this is...
	Here it is.
	The U.S. Embassy in Iraq.
	It's a pretty nice-looking dude.
	Wow.
	Oh, here's a rendering of it.
	Is this the one rendering on the left?
	I'm looking at eratica.us.
	The problem is it's loading every image before you can actually start doing it.
	Okay, here, the architecture firm in charge of the design, Berger, Divine, and Jaeger.
	This is good.
	I need to do some research into this now.
	This is going to be my new Sunday thing.
	Now look at this.
	Wow.
	Let's see.
	Planning, sustainability.
	These guys are big.
	About BDY. I wonder who's on the board.
	Do you think there could be any shills in here for any reason?
	Where are they located?
	They must have some connection.
	Do you think?
	Selected clients include U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of State.
	There you go.
	Perfect.
	How about planning?
	Our architectural knights might give us some insight.
	They know.
	They know for sure.
	Let me see.
	Because usually what you do is you can go to the...
	And they're so proud of it.
	Like they'll just blow the whistle.
	Yeah, they blow the whistle on themselves.
	Federal government.
	Let's see what they've done for the federal government.
	Partnerships with the U.S. Corps.
	Let's see what they've done.
	Send me the link to that site.
	What is it?
	It's burgerdivinejaeger.com.
	BDY has completed U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve projects in partnership with the U.S. Corps of Engineers of Kansas City, Omaha, Fort Worth, Savannah, Louisville, Tulsa, Middle East districts, including our ongoing projects in Iraq and Afghanistan.
	Our government contract vehicles include Kansas City District, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity.
	What is that?
	This is a great contract to have.
	Yeah, we're on board with that indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract.
	Wow!
	It's called IDIQ. Northwest Regional Multiple Award Task Order for Barracks and Company Operation Facilities and U.S. General Services Administration, IDIQ and U.S. Department.
	IDIQ! This is great.
	Indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity.
	Could you make it any more apparent?
	It's crazy.
	Absolutely crazy.
	Not seeing any.
	These guys are based in Kansas.
	Anyway, do you know what the Standard Form 33 is?
	You ever heard of this?
	No.
	What is it?
	Someone sent me this link.
	It's acquisition.gov.
	Solicitation, offer, and award.
	So the government, the form for an offer and a bid and reward of a government contract bid is called Standard Form 33.
	Okay.
	Please.
	No, that's funny.
	Insult me more, could you please?
	Standard form is like when you're getting free money on the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract, as we now have just read to you live.
	Indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity.
	Doesn't that mean forever?
	Yeah, well, indefinite.
	Yeah.
	It means as long as you want it to.
	Forever and ever.
	Forever.
	It could be forever.
	Forever and ever.
	It's called the Standard Form 33.
	And it's a very small form, by the way.
	There was something kind of funny that happened in Ireland.
	You were talking about Ireland?
	So we've got Glastonbury happening right now.
	My daughter's bummed.
	She wanted to be there.
	But it's probably good you're not there, because people are pooping and dying there.
	It's not good.
	So U2 is playing at Glastonbury.
	And there's the anti-capitalist group Art Uncut inflated a six-meter balloon emblazoned with the message, you pay your tax too!
	Because we know U2 has moved their royalty operations out of Ireland into the kingdom of the lowlands in the Netherlands where you pay almost no tax on royalties.
	And these guys make like $200 million a year.
	And people are like, hey, you're full of crap, Bono.
	And it's like you with a U and the two with a number two.
	You pay your tax, too.
	Security guards wrestled them to the ground before deflating the balloon and taking it away.
	Oh, brother, why?
	Because you can't insult King Bono.
	You know, King Bono, Al Gore's buddy, investment buddies over there at Kleiner Perkins.
	Unbelievable.
	Shut up, slave!
	You can't have a balloon!
	Pop your balloon!
	Take it away!
	Thought that was kind of cool.
	Good on ya!
	You gotta call out these elites.
	And by the way, as you know, elites are not the same as political elites, just so it's very, very clear.
	Also, in Ireland now, everyone's warning now for bean sprouts.
	Irish consumers have been urged not to eat raw bean sprouts after an E. coli outbreak in France, similar to the one in Germany.
	I think five people have now died in France.
	And get my nation's stinky cheese.
	So the E. coli thing is not gone.
	I never thought much of the French eating bean sprouts, but I guess...
	Well, it's raw bean sprouts.
	Of course, it's only the organic raw bean sprouts.
	And the Food, the FSA, which I guess is Gitmo Nation East, yeah, Food Standards Agency says, it is revising its guidance on the consumption of sprouted seeds in light of an outbreak of E. coli in France.
	And the Russians, by the way, have banned all vegetables from Europe now, which is a big export for the United States of Europe.
	So that's like a huge hit to farming.
	Monsanto's coming in, everybody!
	Hey!
	Here they come.
	I just want to say one more thing about this Burger Divine Jaeger.
	Yes.
	So while you were talking, I was looking them up, and I went to the Corporation Wiki, which is this interesting site that takes any company or person, and then drops them in a visualizer, and it shows all the weird interconnections all over the world.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I love that, yeah.
	Yeah, you drop it in, what do you think you get?
	Nothing.
	No connections.
	No known connections.
	Yeah, no one knows anything about them.
	Uh-huh.
	We've got to do some work on Burger Divine Jaeger.
	This is interesting.
	Yeah, it is interesting.
	And they have the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract for the Embassy of Iraq.
	17 football fields.
	Oh, is it 17?
	That's what you said.
	No, I said 8.
	Oh, I thought you said 17.
	It was 17,000 people.
	Oh, 17,000 people.
	Eight football fields.
	Yeah.
	But it's within the green zone, which is bigger than...
	The green zone, I'm sure...
	The green zone's the size of, I don't know, Minneapolis.
	And I'm sure that they got, you know, they got, just like in Egypt, they got Coca-Cola there, Marriott International, Bechtel, who's doing all the construction...
	To the people of Gitmo Nation outside of the United States, again, I apologize for what we're doing to you.
	It's just stupid.
	And I got to...
	So I'm talking about...
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Go on.
	No, please.
	Well, I was just going to say that one weird story came up this week that I thought was interesting we probably should discuss because I think it's a...
	I don't know what it says, but it's a story about Amy Aguchi.
	Who's that?
	The AKB-47 singer who's a big, hot pop star in Japan.
	Oh, does he turn out to be a robot?
	She's a robot.
	Yeah.
	I have a clip where they discussed it a little bit here on CNN. First glance, but there is something odd about this, isn't it?
	Do we want to hear it?
	Okay, Maureen, what's going on here?
	So this is Aime Iguchi.
	She is the newest member of Japanese pop group AKB48, which is a group of almost 60 idols.
	And there's five main sort of people that lead this group.
	They sing songs, all that.
	This newest member had a huge high-profile campaign with a candy company.
	And initially when people saw her, they thought, how did this girl rise to such prominence so quickly?
	How come we don't know anything about her?
	We don't know anything about her background.
	As it turns out, she's actually a computer-generated fake.
	She's a virtual person.
	They took the best features from the six main members of this large girl group, put them together, and turned them into this woman.
	So, now, amazingly, this isn't even Japan's first virtual pop idol.
	They actually have another pop star who performs via hologram at concert stadiums.
	All right.
	It's certainly strange.
	Yeah, we're out of time here because I know I want to see what's going on.
	We're out of time.
	Yeah, we're out of time.
	We've got to do 25 commercials, so get off the stage.
	Well, this is a setup.
	Obviously, we're conditioning people to accept virtual news readers, virtual politicians.
	This woman is actually, she's very attractive.
	She is a, the animation is, you would never know it wasn't a person.
	They got their head stuffed down.
	I sent you a couple of links.
	No, I've seen it.
	I've seen a couple of the videos.
	I've seen the YouTube videos.
	Yeah, it's amazing.
	And the Japanese are obviously the testing ground.
	Don Lemon in that clip, Don Lemon is freaking out.
	He's like, this is why he cut her off.
	It's like, shut up!
	We're next!
	Well, that's a good point.
	I'm sure that's not why I cut her off, because I'm sure someone's yelling in his ears, and we're over time.
	Or maybe they're yelling, just to get her off, because we don't want Don to realize that he's next.
	Don is waking up, everybody, quick, slipping an Ambien in his Diet Coke, and let's go to commercial!
	Yeah, no.
	Take a look at this woman.
	I recommend people go seek out AKB48 robot and then find some pictures of this EMI person and look at her and say, well, you know, if she was the newsreader for Russia Today, their ratings would go way up.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And we could do a hologram when she's doing location stuff.
	And it doesn't cost anything.
	It's low budget.
	You just have a couple coders to make sure you have to...
	Once it's all set up, you should be able to get her to do all kinds of stuff with just the newswriters.
	Then they're never going to be unionized.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Well, I think you're right.
	I think news is first and politicians are next.
	It's easy.
	We can do it with this quality.
	The quality of this...
	It's outstanding.
	It's absolutely outstanding.
	I mean, when you really, really look at it, you know, it's like maybe the lips are a little out of sync with the words.
	The ears are weird looking.
	And she blinks at weird intervals.
	But, I mean, it doesn't matter.
	It's all fixable.
	Yeah, totally.
	You and I could sit there and just...
	But, you know, there's like no rack.
	In fact, Lasseter...
	Well, you can put a rack on her.
	Lasseter over here at...
	What's the name of the company that Disney owns?
	Pixar.
	He was talking about they have a new movie coming out and I saw some clips from it.
	He was on some talk show.
	They have gotten water I mean, this splashing and stuff, they've done the coating for water that is so amazing that you would never in a million years not think it was real water being splashed and sloshed around.
	There's no reason they can't.
	These people are the newsreaders and those type, with the exception of you and I, because we have Doug that could replace us.
	What do you mean can?
	I think this puts us in an interesting premium spot because the show that we do is a premium show because we're actually thinking.
	We're not just reading some crap that a PR person puts in front of us that we have to read off a prompter.
	That job is done.
	Let me just evaluate.
	We just said has no rack All those things that you'd never get on a real show.
	Yeah, you wouldn't get on a real show.
	I tend to tell people, you know, that, yeah, we don't care.
	Because we don't have to worry about some, because we, when we ask for donations, Dvorak.org slash NA and the No Agenda Show.
	Noagendanation.com and No Agenda Nation.
	Go to those sites to help us.
	Because if you were listening to the last show we did, go back and listen to the end of the show.
	We played the complete tape of the bigot in the airline cockpit.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	And that whole clip was interesting and oddly amusing, but there's nothing that will ever get played on any mainstream show anywhere.
	Right.
	Ever.
	So, yeah, now your news is going to be animatronics, completely.
	And this is just getting you ready for it.
	It'll be a prettier sight.
	I mean, I would rather listen to her read the news than some of the women on Russia Today.
	Or Don Lemon.
	Or Don Lemon.
	Yeah.
	And the guests will be that way, too.
	It's going to be, you know what?
	Oh, I think that's great to have the guests, just robot guests.
	Because, you know, you don't know them, right?
	And you can have them on via satellite.
	We'll just call it satellite.
	No, it's going to be perfect.
	It's going to be great.
	We're going into a golden age of television.
	A golden age, I'll tell you.
	Yeah.
	There was something that happened, and I was kind of afraid to ask you, and actually I thought that maybe it might get discussed, I'm sure it will get discussed on this week's upcoming episode of Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged, which you can also hear now on the No Agenda stream, as we're all talking, no commercials, no agenda.
	This is about the release of the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, I think they call it the SPR. Yeah.
	And this was a clip that I grabbed from the financial channel.
	I think it must have been CNBC. I forget his name.
	I think he's the largest independent oil trader.
	And he is pretty concerned about what happened from two perspectives.
	Gary, it's a very interesting dynamic.
	This is a sign of desperation.
	You don't do this if you have anything left in your arsenal.
	So Mark, so if we do get some sort of terrible hurricane season, I think your point is that the upside has now been accelerated in terms of where we may go on the upside as a result of this release today in what was not a market that you felt needed intervention.
	You know, the interesting thing is, it's sort of like when the Swiss Central Bank tried to go ahead and control the price of the Swiss franc versus the euro currency.
	That didn't end right.
	And I think this isn't going to end right either.
	I mean, the only thing I think that people aren't focused on yet is if you look at the price of crude at $2.30 yesterday, this information, in my opinion, for what it's worth, was leaked.
	Yeah, I was wondering about that, Mark.
	I mean, this morning before it came out, we had crude down 4% already.
	No.
	You know, it's interesting because I think the CFTC has done an admirable job of, you know, investigating price anomalies.
	I mean, this is a layup.
	I mean, what happened after the close of $2.30, when you close on the highs, and you're nearly 70 cents off the high in about five minutes, and I don't know if you can bring up a chart of, you know, what happens.
	We did, yeah.
	I mean, it's kind of crazy.
	I mean, somebody knew something, and I'd be shocked.
	I think everyone would be surprised to see a week from now, a month from now, two months from now, when an investigation is conducted, somebody from the IEA leaked this to somebody.
	So two things in this clip.
	One is he's saying they are so clueless.
	They have nothing left to control anything in the economy with that.
	They released this portion of the strategic petroleum reserves.
	God forbid we have an actual disaster and we need it for something else.
	And the second thing he says, which he's clearly irked about, he's saying someone there was insider knowledge of this, that someone leaked that this was happening and people.
	And he I guess he didn't.
	People were trading on it.
	John, what is the point of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and this release which happened at a kind of interesting moment?
	By the way, it's been tapped before.
	Sure it has.
	No, it's been tapped several times.
	Sure.
	Even Clinton tapped.
	Here's what I think is going on.
	I tapped that.
	Yeah.
	I'm sure you would.
	Here's what I think is going on.
	I think Obama is...
	At least the Democrats are worried about the 2012 elections because there's this old rule about...
	Any time the unemployment's over 7%, the incumbent president never gets re-elected.
	It's never happened in history, although things are vague.
	But the fact is, they've got to do something about this unemployment problem.
	And the best way to do it is lower the cost of energy, because energy actually makes things run, and it's a profit driver.
	If you've got cheap energy, and you can make the machines produce products, and it doesn't cost much to do so, because energy is cheap, and the economy...
	This apparently was not even the right type of crude.
	It wasn't even the right stuff.
	It doesn't make any difference because the crude goes into the system.
	That's a minor issue.
	Because once it goes into the refining system, it comes out in any way you want it to.
	It just costs more to do it, but not that much.
	Anyway, so the point is I think they're doing anything they can to jack up the economy somehow.
	And I would almost predict there's going to be a QE3, too, which is a quantitative easing, the third version.
	Just to get this thing so the trends are right by the time the election comes around in 2012 because they've only got a year and a half to get things turned around or the Democrats are going to be out on their asses in mass.
	And I think this is all part of this ploy.
	I don't think it's got anything to do with anything else.
	We've got plenty of this oil.
	I don't think it's as big a deal as these guys are making it out to be.
	I think it's just a ploy and I don't think it's desperation either.
	Hmm.
	But, okay, so it's a ploy, but at the same time, they let people in on it so some of their buddies could get rich.
	That's just some jerk.
	I mean, that doesn't mean the government was behind the leaking because there's no benefit to that.
	I mean, unless they're trying to benefit somebody's buddy.
	But I think that's just a normal leak that happens all the time.
	It could have...
	It could have been from gossip.
	It could have been from all kinds of different things.
	Who knows?
	It could have been from the print shop.
	You print these papers up and somebody at the print shop reads it.
	You never know.
	They'll track it down, I'm sure, but I don't think that's important.
	It's that one guy just complaining about it.
	Okay.
	Alright, but so quantitative easing number three, QE3, which would definitely affect the market, that's just another printing of money, right?
	That's where they print more money and...
	Essentially, yeah.
	And then they buy it up themselves or whatever.
	It's...
	I don't...
	They just got to do anything they can because this economy is in the doldrums.
	And it's going to stay that way for the next ten years from the way...
	Or not the next ten, but at least the next eight years.
	So they can create these artificial situations by running down.
	If they get the price accrued down to $50 or less, things will be looking good for a short term.
	Right on.
	So here's what I'm working on this week as we have our long intermission between now and the show on Thursday.
	The brand new UN Office on Drugs and Crime, UNODC, has come out with their report, so I've got to comb through that.
	Just a couple of highlights that I have off the bat.
	New drugs are offsetting cocaine and heroin gains.
	This is the, you know, the, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, this is, oh yes, so this is going to be a problem.
	This is actually, it's an industry report for the elites who deal in this crap in, you know, the poppy trade in Afghanistan and the CIA coke transport.
	So, you know, now this is the bath salts and stuff that people are getting all freaked out about.
	But the most interesting news, I would have to say, where do you think heroin is the cheapest, John, of all the places in the world?
	Where is heroin the cheapest?
	New York City?
	No, no, no, no.
	Los Angeles?
	No, no, no, no.
	Moscow?
	No, no, no, no.
	Afghanistan?
	No!
	Okay, where?
	Belgium.
	Oh, really?
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, that's a weird one.
	Average is only...
	23 euros a gram in Belgium, apparently.
	That's pretty good, right?
	I don't know what the price of heroin goes for.
	I've never even thought about it.
	I think it's 50 bucks a balloon in Los Angeles.
	And what's a balloon?
	I have no idea.
	I don't know, man.
	It's like you get your bus tokens, your Diet Pepsi, and a balloon.
	I have no idea what that goes for.
	But interesting that they've done that analysis.
	This is the same report last year.
	These are the guys that reported that all of this drug money was actually whitewashed through the banks.
	This is the same report, so I'm sure there's going to be more damning evidence in here that no one will do anything about.
	I have to say, they do some interesting reports.
	No, they do.
	There's a lot of good stuff that comes out of the UN. Yeah, like the Human Rights Commission.
	They went down to check on the allegations of rape by Gaddafi and Viagra, and they couldn't find anyone.
	Yeah, if it doesn't fall into the right line of thinking, they don't get much publicity.
	Right.
	And then I'm working on getting Ray Nagin.
	Is it Nagin?
	Nagin?
	Nagin.
	Nagin, the former mayor of New Orleans.
	He has a book out, and you know I'm doing the big book show and also putting those interviews on the stream now.
	He has a book out where he says that he was actually in a state of paranoia suspecting the federal government of trying to poison him.
	Brother!
	Yeah!
	At one point he believed the city's wealthiest, most powerful residents were trying to bug his hotel suite.
	So I have to read this book and I'm going to get him on the honker and interview him.
	This will be fun.
	And we'll get that on...
	Yeah, we should be able to get a couple clips off of that.
	Yeah.
	I also have the global warming professor.
	Kurt Steger.
	That's in the can.
	That should be produced and up, I think, Monday or Tuesday.
	I'll put that on the stream as well.
	Fantastic guy.
	He's kind of like a crazy banjo playing professor.
	He's all about saving the carbon and we're all going to die.
	And he walked right into my trap.
	I said, so, do you believe in peak oil?
	Oh, yes, absolutely.
	And I said, so, if oil ends, doesn't the problem end?
	He said, oh, yes, absolutely.
	So, he said, well, we have a choice.
	We can party now, or we can change the earth in 100,000 years, he says.
	Yes.
	I know.
	That number just came up recently.
	It's cropping up everywhere.
	Yeah, he says, if we were to stop all carbon emissions right now, this very minute, it wouldn't have an effect on the Earth for another 100,000 years.
	Now, he says, well, that's a choice.
	What kind of Earth do we want?
	The height of absurdity, by the way.
	What kind of Earth do we want in 100,000 years?
	I'm like, brother, screw it.
	I'm partying.
	I'm just going to party.
	It's unbelievable.
	It's ridiculous.
	But it's great.
	I really like the guy.
	We had a great chat.
	He actually said, I really appreciate someone who has an anti-stance on this.
	He's been quoted in the IPCC reports, although he's not one of the people who signed off on it or was a part of it.
	He says, I really detest science being used as a weapon.
	That's good.
	He's kind of a good guy in that regard.
	I've gotten a lot of emails.
	We have new listeners coming on board.
	I don't understand your anti-vaccination stance.
	Please, we're not anti-vaccination.
	Okay?
	We're not.
	Well, it's clear that these are peer-reviewed journals on...
	What was that thing that we had about...
	Yeah, from The Lancet or whatever.
	The Lancet, yeah.
	It's peer-reviewed.
	You know what?
	Would you please don't email me and say that I'm crazy.
	Go look at the peers.
	Look at who's getting money from where.
	Just really look into it.
	Well, ask him also how you have a vaccine against cocaine use.
	How's that a vaccine?
	This is bogus.
	I got a new vaccine for you.
	I got a new vaccine for you.
	Hold on.
	These are lesions here.
	For about 80 years, to prevent folks from getting tuberculosis, doctors have used a vaccine called BCG. But that vaccine is part of an important scientific question.
	Could it also help those with type 1 diabetes?
	We're talking about treating people...
	Now, is diabetes something that you need to be vaccinated against?
	Well, type 1 diabetes, which is the type of diabetes where your pancreas doesn't work, is an ailment like a missing finger.
	I mean, you can't take a vaccine and grow a finger back.
	It's not a vaccine anyway.
	It's not caused by anything that they know of.
	It's genetic.
	This is a vaccine that they have for this.
	With long-standing diabetes trying to reverse the disease.
	This teenager is among the millions who suffers from type 1, also known as juvenile diabetes.
	And to help you understand how it begins, this is the cross-section of a bone.
	You can see the marrow releasing bad cells, shown here in green, which go on the attack in the pancreas, killing others.
	By the way, where did this come from all of a sudden?
	These nice little animations and stuff?
	Pre-packaged.
	Critical cells that produce insulin.
	Now, I'll tell you what it is.
	What I think is going on here, this vaccine, as far as I can tell, expires in 2012, the patent on the vaccine, so they need to repatent it as a vaccine against diabetes.
	No, you mean some other drug.
	I mean, it's a drug that you're saying is going to be repatented as a vaccine.
	No, it is a vaccine.
	The BCG vaccine is a vaccine, and it's running out of patent, but it was never a vaccine for diabetes.
	Now they have this amazing...
	Right.
	It's like, hey, we just found out.
	It's amazing.
	But when you take this BCG vaccine, it turns out that it may, listen to the end of the report, it may actually stop you from getting type 1 diabetes.
	I said it started going.
	And that was kind of scary because I would have to have friends read things to me.
	In turn, diabetics have to give themselves regular insulin injections to keep blood sugar levels normal.
	But at this Boston hospital in an early clinical trial, doctors gave six diabetics injections of BCG. Blood tests later showed their pancreas had produced small amounts of insulin again.
	That's pretty remarkable and we're encouraged.
	It's thought the vaccine creates a compound, seen here as bits of yellow, that destroy the bad cells before they hit the pancreas, and allowing the insulin-producing cells to regrow, something they previously saw in lab mice.
	That's not a vaccine, that's a treatment.
	...to a cure for diabetes tomorrow or a prevention for diabetes tomorrow, but it's certainly a path down which we need to go and study more.
	So there's the disclaimer.
	It's a treatment, it's not a vaccine even if it works.
	Exactly.
	Why is our treatments now being called vaccines?
	This is bullcrap.
	By the way, I have a clip about vaccines from a 1950s, early 1950s Robert Mitchum movie when vaccines were seen as, which by the way, this has all disappeared from the public consciousness, vaccines were seen as sketchy.
	Mike, you've got to listen to me.
	All right, then.
	It's true I deceived you.
	It's true I was sent down to find you.
	Is this the vaccine?
	Hold on a second.
	That's not the right...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I thought it was a 1950s clip.
	My mistake.
	What's the...
	Oh, here it is.
	You had two 1950s clips.
	My apologies.
	Not anymore.
	She's gone.
	She got pushed around.
	I wouldn't have stayed myself, only she got sick being vaccinated.
	How come you're asking?
	I want to find her.
	You want to find her for that man?
	Oh, for myself.
	Where'd she go?
	Maybe I'll tell nothing.
	Maybe more harm would come to her if you didn't.
	Is she in harm now?
	I don't know.
	She disappeared.
	Yeah, also, I want to remind people that as they crank up swine flu again, 1976, we had our first swine flu scare, and I think a lot of people died from the vaccine then, and it was soldiers, I think.
	Didn't they do like 500 soldiers?
	No, no, it was the public.
	I had a guy I worked with at the government air pollution district who got sick from this stuff.
	But of course, the only thing that's changed now...
	So anyway, to bring it all around, we are skeptical about how the word vaccine is used.
	I personally am extremely skeptical about the Gardasil vaccine.
	I've had many doctors tell me that it certainly does not...
	Combat all forms of HPV. The fact now that they are giving it to 11 year old boys saying that it will combat throat cancer because they of course are going to be performing oral sex when they're 11 is crazy.
	I got a note here.
	You know, I don't know why you're...
	You obviously were affected by some bonehead listener who's not a producer.
	A doctor.
	No, you know, another...
	Someone who's studying biology or cellular biology.
	Oh, another student who's being brainwashed by the system.
	Yes, yes.
	And it gets me riled up.
	Basically, they go out as clones looking for this sort of thing.
	This is like the warmists.
	Yeah.
	The global warming people, they're always looking for someone and saying something negative, and then they jump on them like ankle biters.
	And so this shuts people up.
	You were given a letter to shut you up.
	Yep.
	Because obviously the person, anyone who's listened to the show more than a few weeks, which is most of our listeners, they know that's not going to work, but some newbie would come along and think, oh, this is bad.
	Let me do my job and send him a nasty note, and that maybe will shut him up.
	Yeah, I get too involved.
	You're right.
	You're right!
	But here's a tweeter.
	Here's a tweeter that I got just this morning.
	And you can always follow me on tweeter.
	At Adam Curry.
	Brought my six-month-old son to get vaccinated.
	They tried to schedule Gardazil for some time in the near future.
	Told her flat out no.
	Six-month-old!
	This is the marketing budget for Gardazil.
	We've been following this for years.
	For years.
	And if you really look at HPV, it's vaginal warts.
	A lot of this goes away.
	It really does.
	And I'm not saying that cervical cancer isn't real.
	But this Gardasil does not do the job.
	It doesn't do the job.
	And it's just being pumped into everybody.
	And now boys...
	Because, you know, they're saying oral cancer.
	I have the reports here.
	75% of oral cancer is from oral sex and not from smoking.
	It's reversed.
	It used to be smoking that gave you throat cancer.
	Now it's oral sex.
	Yeah, it sounds like bullcrap.
	It does to me, too.
	It is bullcrap.
	Okay, I think they drop it.
	Because we're going to be talking about this a lot.
	Yeah, we'll drop it for now.
	I do have...
	I don't know.
	I have a couple of clips.
	Yeah, let's roll, man.
	Roll this out with some clips.
	I got a couple of clips.
	I got an old clip.
	This is kind of interesting to show how...
	You know, who's the name of that crazy guy that goes in front of the EU? We love to play his clips.
	Oh, Nigel Farage?
	Nigel Farage.
	Nigel Farage is...
	He's not crazy.
	No, he's not crazy, but he's portrayed as...
	No, he's right on the money, but I have an old Thatcher clip.
	That goes back to the 80s when the EU was being founded and the Brits wanted to kind of get into it, but they didn't want to get too much into it.
	And here's Thatcher basically being Nigel Farage.
	Farage.
	Farage.
	Pretty much the same kind of thing, and the Brits have a tradition of this, and I think this is one of the few things they do right.
	As the European community flourished, even Britain decided to meet itself into this new creation.
	Self-interest was beginning to take over.
	For the British, the appeal lay in growing a single economic space rather than in pushing forwards ever greater European integration.
	The President of the Commission, Mr.
	DeLore, said at press conference the other day that he wanted the European Parliament to be the democratic body of the community, he wanted the Commission to be the executive, and he wanted the Council of Ministers to be the Senate.
	No!
	Well, it's exactly what happened.
	I know, it's exactly what happened.
	No!
	No!
	Hey, you old bat!
	Get out of here!
	We're doing this!
	Wow.
	Good one.
	Yeah, I thought, wow, that's interesting.
	I'm tripping out.
	Meanwhile, the other 1950s movie clip, we'll just get this out of the way, because people are saying, oh, the new journalists today, there's a lot of corruption, a lot of public relations doing all this stuff, the TMC and all the rest of it.
	And meanwhile, there's this clip from a movie called Run to the Sun with Richard Widmark and Greer, I can't remember her first name.
	And this is a clip where she's apparently a reporter tracking this novelist and trying to write a story about him.
	And as soon as they play this clip, this clip could have taken place.
	This just proves to people that things don't change that much and where things aren't that much weirder.
	Play this clip and you'll see it sounds like yesterday.
	Mike, you've got to listen to me.
	All right, then.
	It's true I deceived you.
	It's true I was sent down to find yours.
	What's even worse, it was my own idea.
	I happen to love your work and I wanted to know why you quit.
	Mike, a man of your talent has no right to quit.
	You can skip the literary criticism.
	What else could I do?
	Just been honest, honey.
	And get my story?
	You'd have kicked me from here to Halifax.
	You got your story.
	Yes, it's terrific.
	You want to know something else?
	I'm not going to write it.
	Of course not.
	Mike, it happens to be the truth.
	What do you know about truth?
	Or honesty?
	Doing it the hard way without using your big brown eyes to get ahead?
	Well, don't give yourself too much credit.
	Any one of those four-eyed monsters from your nosy little magazine might have done just as well.
	I was ready.
	You do this for money or do you get a belt out of prying into people's lives?
	The new kind of journalism.
	Let's play Peeping Tom.
	I salute you.
	You did a fine job.
	You'll go far.
	Wow.
	That's very good.
	Yeah.
	1950, huh?
	They're already complaining about tabloid journalism.
	Yeah.
	It's funny because from the same Bill Maher show that I did watch, I think the douchebag elites are sitting at the table there, and they're pretty much saying, we need licensed journalists.
	It's a mousetrap.
	Once you get in there.
	It's a mousetrap.
	It's hard to get out of there.
	It's like a Rhodes Motel.
	You can't leave.
	Right.
	But there's also no credibility standards, too.
	When you go online and you put in Barack Obama, you don't know if you're going to read something.
	Most people aren't as concerning and don't know if they're looking at the New York Times.
	We're stupid!
	We're stupid!
	Times or their Aunt Tessie's website.
	They don't know how to filter it.
	No, because we're stupid.
	We're stupid slaves.
	There are a lot of people sitting at home in their underwear on their couch spouting out their opinions and spewing it out into the toxic universe.
	I take offense to that.
	And calling it news.
	Some people don't know the difference.
	But what there's a dearth of, the evisceration of the newsroom, means a lack of real investigative journalism.
	The Anthony Weiner story, the internet can handle that beautifully.
	But corruption on the local school board, if the newsroom's been eviscerated, there's nobody out there who's humping a story like that.
	Humping a story.
	Hey, there you go.
	That's what the elites think of you.
	You're too stupid.
	Okay?
	You're too stupid and we need to have licensed journalists and people in their underwear just spouting stuff.
	Don Lemon is sitting in his underwear.
	I know that.
	Yeah.
	So yeah, this is a trend that we're going to...
	But luckily the Constitution, which of course they're trying to get rid of, keeps that from...
	The fact is the person in their underwear sitting there writing on publishing stuff on the internet is protected.
	I know they're going to try to beat that up.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Well, get your podcast license now so you can listen to our show legally.
	I have a good editorial clip from Judge Napolitano if you want to play it after the show.
	As an end-of-show clip?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, we can do that.
	How long is it?
	Yeah, no, that's good.
	What is it about?
	It actually promotes Ron Paul and your other buddy.
	Kucinich?
	No, no, no.
	Oh, Gary Johnson?
	Johnson is the only real Republicans running for president.
	They're not going to get in here.
	Of course not.
	They get eviscerated by the party.
	But I do like that people are waking up and as long as we can keep our listeners awake and with it, we can all live the American dream of just getting by and playing by the rules and retiring with dignity.
	Buenas tardes!
	Hello, Pittsburgh!
	I want to remind people to help us out for next Thursday by going to dvorak.org slash na and noagendanation.com.
	Yes, and right after the end of show clip, the No Agenda producer update here on the live stream as we've gone all talk, no commercials, no agenda.
	Gitmo Slave running the show, so stay tuned for that.
	And check in to noagendanewsnetwork.com so you can participate in the stream.
	Coming to you from the great state of California, Southern California, where we have a use tax.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm just getting by, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Thursday, right here on the best podcast in the world, No Agenda.
	Constitution that was intended to limit rather than to unleash the government.
	Giving away the store is where we find ourselves today.
	Today we have a government in Washington that has us halfway to socialism.
	Today we have a government that borrows more than it collects in taxes.
	Today we have worthless money chasing goods in stores with prices that are skyrocketing.
	Now, this didn't happen overnight.
	It began 100 years ago with Woodrow Wilson and was ratcheted up with FDR. And every modern president since FDR has taxed more, spent more, borrowed more, and given away more than his predecessors.
	Now, back to our question about Republican candidates for president.
	I think most of them are Democrat-lite.
	Most of them believe in spending more than they collect in taxes, in letting the FBI spy on you without warrants from judges, in money that is worthless, and in a government that can right any wrong, regulate any behavior, tax any event, and fight any war the president prefers.
	Now, they might not right as many wrongs or regulate as much behavior or tax as high as the Democrats, and some have recently argued that we must bring the troops home.
	But they generally see no moral or constitutional impediments to Washington doing whatever it wants.
	Only Governor Gary Johnson and Congressman Ron Paul have consistently argued that the status quo must go, that the people are entitled to a government that stays within the confines of the Constitution, and that the Constitution means what it says, and it was written to keep the government off the people's backs.
	Perhaps some other candidates will pick up on these arguments as well.
	But as time goes by, as the campaign proceeds, as we get closer to the primaries themselves, ask yourself, who will continue the long march to government control of everything?
	And who will make a U-turn and bring us back to freedom?
	Who will utterly reject the status quo?
	With every speech and debate and op-ed and blog, the answer will become obvious.
	From New York, defending freedom every night of the week.
	So long, America.
