	And you know what's going to come out?
	Fish.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, July 3rd, 2011.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination.
	Episode 318.
	This is No Agenda.
	Tracking DSKDAs from New York to Paris.
	From the Hilltop Mark Tower Crackpot Command Center.
	Give my nation west the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's actually the day before July the 4th, which makes it let me think.
	I don't know.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Thank you.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	You know, John, sometimes you just astound me with your opening.
	That was, uh, very interesting.
	What's interesting about it?
	The day before July 4th, which makes it, uh, I don't know.
	Okay.
	Well, in the morning.
	We actually have a fireworks display on July the 3rd here over in the Richmond area.
	Really?
	A day early.
	Why do they do that a day early?
	Which I think is probably good.
	Why do they do that a day early?
	Well, because on the 4th, there's all these competitive displays, and that's where they actually get some people to show up.
	Oh, that's true.
	That's a good point.
	Hey, in the morning to you, John.
	In the morning to you, in the morning to all ships and sea, beats on the ground, feet in the air, and people flying around in their airplanes.
	Beats in the ground, and boots on the ground.
	So, I saw this question this morning on CNN. I thought we celebrated the fact that it's a holiday.
	Yeah.
	And can we buy cars?
	Is it another car holiday?
	July 4th?
	I thought it was a signing.
	What am I wrong?
	I don't know.
	I didn't see the answer.
	I didn't stick around.
	It's one of those teasers.
	Yeah, I'm like, oh.
	We ask a question, so we'll be right back after these messages, and then maybe 15 minutes later they give the answer.
	I hate that.
	Thank you, darling.
	They do the tease, and then they do two segments before they come back with that answer.
	They do two commercial breaks.
	Yeah, I was reading an article that CNN's in big trouble.
	They got a new news director.
	Who?
	I don't remember his name offhand.
	I looked him up.
	There was nothing really...
	I think the guy actually thinks that he's a good guy and he can make it all happen.
	Because CNN has, like, zero viewers.
	Literally, no one is watching, except for me.
	No one watches CNN. Except when there's some kind of go-to moment.
	Yeah, when all hell breaks loose, everybody goes to CNN. Everybody turns on CNN, exactly.
	So they have to create more events.
	Well, this is where I think the guy is like, oh, we're going to do serious journalism and we're not just going to throw two opposing parties and have them fight and then go to a commercial break, which is pretty much their formula.
	And I think there's going to be a big shake-up.
	Here's what I predict.
	So this guy, of course, he's like a J-school graduate.
	He's like, yeah, we're going to make CNN great.
	Let's figure out who this person is, because I happen to know about two or three people in those positions above, and I don't want to be talking about them if I don't know we're talking about the guy I know.
	Okay.
	Because it might add a little dimension to it.
	So who are we talking about?
	Well, you know what we have to do?
	Okay, let's see.
	Who is the new news director?
	Hmm.
	It's so big, this news.
	Hmm.
	I'm looking for it, too.
	I've been looking for it.
	That's why I interrupted you, because I wasn't finding it.
	I can't find it.
	That's crazy.
	Is it Bart Fetter or Janelle Rodriguez or John Antonio?
	I have no idea.
	But anyway, I'm going to predict what's going to happen.
	Is this guy going to try and, you know...
	Is it going to Red Book?
	I think you could put it in the Red Book.
	It's a long-term Red Book item.
	Because, you know, the guy's trying to make it all...
	So, first of all, Anderson Pooper, he's got to go.
	Because no one likes him in the news business.
	This guy's going to try and like...
	You know, this is like the...
	It's like our buzzer, buzzer, hummer from a burglar.
	It's like now all the serious journalists are going to go in and save news by making it completely unwatchable and boring.
	And by the way, I'm all for good news, but that's what we do.
	Get off our turf.
	You can't do it.
	Because people, when they turn on television, they only want to see one thing.
	Entertainment.
	Hot chicks!
	Exactly!
	Right.
	I mean, only Fox seems to get that.
	I wish I'd say this article.
	I'm sorry.
	And I'm just like, well, don't you...
	They're like, yeah, Fox, they've got three times the audience.
	Well, yeah.
	It's entertaining to watch.
	You've got hot chicks.
	How come you don't understand that?
	You guys have ruined television that way, and I get used to it.
	It's your bed lying in it.
	We'll take care of the real news.
	The real news.
	Well, so what's your prediction?
	Oh, so my prediction is it'll last about three quarters of a year to a year, and then CNN's going to start bringing in hot chicks.
	It's the only way to do it.
	It's not much of a prediction.
	CNN, I would say, is pretty well known for their ugly people.
	Watch this thing in the morning.
	Women are dumb and ugly.
	And I'd like hot and smart.
	That's what Fox has got right.
	You know, this is another good indication why we have to do the show on a donation basis.
	Because of what?
	Yeah, somebody would be offended by that comment, which I'm in agreement with you, by the way.
	Purely from a television perspective.
	We've been in television, both of us, for the majority of our lives, so we understand how it works.
	And this is what television has created.
	It's created a massive audience of people who just want to see beautiful people.
	Who cares what comes out of their mouth?
	Right, and then it deteriorates eventually into just celebrity news, which CNN has a show which is just as bad as the rest of them.
	CNN doesn't know how to do celebrity news.
	No, I don't know.
	That celebrity show's not bad.
	The girl's pretty.
	Is this HLN? Because I don't watch that.
	Yeah, it's HLN. No, no, no.
	I mean, CNN is bad.
	HLN is like, you're watching it.
	That's it.
	They should actually come to your house and just set up and just perform it for you live.
	Because there's no more audience than that.
	HLN is nothing.
	Well, they do have the pretty girls over there.
	And, except, of course, then they kill it by bringing on Joy Behar.
	Or then bring a 70-year-old woman on there who's just carps.
	He's a Republican.
	He's terrible.
	Between, I mean, just look at their lineup.
	Between her, Wolf, Wolf Blitzer...
	Who's the most annoying man in the universe.
	Anderson Pooper.
	Then we have Fareed.
	I was watching Fareed again.
	Oh, man, that guy's horrible.
	That guy is the worst.
	And he's an anti-American.
	As far as I'm concerned, he's anti-American.
	Anti-American, absolutely.
	And, well, Don Lemon.
	It was just insincere.
	But in the morning you have to watch Fred.
	Her name is Frederica.
	You won't call it, hey Fred.
	Fred is an idiot.
	Just say that right now.
	Fred is an idiot.
	Anyway.
	There was some real news that we absolutely must immediately discuss.
	And now, back to real news.
	Right, Lawrence, look, when a lot of ex-cons get out of prison looking for work, it's not easy.
	She can type 140 keystrokes and make $3,500, which is, you know, that's good work if you can get it.
	So who are we talking about?
	I have no idea.
	Lindsay Lohan, my friend.
	I didn't know she could type.
	She tweeted.
	Now, this is astounding.
	And I got a couple of notes from people.
	They're like, look what Lindsay Lohan just tweeted.
	Here's her tweet.
	Have you guys seen food and gas prices lately?
	Wait, wait, wait.
	U.S. dollar will soon be worthless if Fed keeps printing money.
	And I mean, send me a link to the tweet.
	I gotta see this.
	What do you think this tweet is all about?
	I don't know.
	You're telling me.
	I'm listening.
	It's that bogus National Inflation Association.
	Do you know this?
	No, no, I'm all ears.
	Well, let's listen to this and I'll explain who they are.
	It's not as good as Kim Kardashian who can get $10,000 for a single tweet.
	I'm extrapolating from this and I would say that you could actually earn about $50 per tweet.
	Perhaps you'd even get a premium because you don't wear an ankle monitoring bracelet.
	I'm going to start tweeting right now.
	So, how many tweets, do we have any sense of how many for cash tweets people like Lindsay and the Kardashians are doing every day?
	It's hard to quantify, but there are websites designed just for this to line people up to do these tweets.
	Michael Vick, if you care about what products he's endorsing, you can get him to tweet your product for $700.
	It's spreading quite a bit and down to about $3, which I think is where I'd be.
	I could probably get paid $10 if I wouldn't endorse something.
	uh... but uh...
	lindsey lowen has been doing she did one eight hundred muffins she did a temptations sweepstakes to win a trip uh...
	to las vegas and my very favorite one was for fashion day she tweeted oh m g exclamation points and lv bag for a dollar at fashion bay maybe i can get lucky and win something cool here awesome How much is she getting for this?
	$3,500.
	I wonder if it's worth it for her to go, wow, this No Agenda show is fantastic.
	So, National Inflation Association.
	This is an Alex Jones advertiser, by the way.
	And they're very, very smart at what they do.
	It's kind of no agenda-ish.
	Although, it's like, would we ever say, oh, have you seen food and gas prices lately?
	The U.S. dollar will still be worthless if the Fed keeps printing money.
	So that's like, okay.
	But what they do is they get you hooked in and they sign you up.
	Subscribe now for free.
	And you get a newsletter.
	And the newsletter is Pink Slip Stock Trading Pump and Dumps.
	So they'll tell you about you got to buy gold.
	Yeah, so they start off by saying you got to buy gold.
	But hey, wait a minute.
	Look at this stock.
	You should buy this stock.
	It's a penny stock.
	It's a pump and dump scheme?
	Yes!
	Yeah.
	Oh, please.
	Yeah, and so she's shilling for that.
	But you're right, $3,500 for her to say, those guys at No Agenda, they really assassinate the media.
	We should come up with something for her to tweet.
	Yeah, well, let's take a look and see who else is doing.
	And you can always follow me on Twitter.
	Who's doing what?
	Who else has got these big numbers that they can roll out a quick advertisement?
	How many numbers does she have?
	Yeah, I'm going to take a look now.
	She has...
	Where's her...
	What is this?
	Why doesn't it just say...
	Oh, she has 2,151,788 followers.
	2 million?
	Okay, so we have to assume.
	So what's the CPM? So do that 2 million divided by 3,500.
	Yeah.
	And what is that?
	I don't know.
	I normally used to be able to do this stuff in my head, but it's like I'm brain dead of late.
	Really?
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
	Well, that's upsetting.
	3,500.
	Let me see.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
	Equals 571...
	No, that couldn't be.
	Yeah.
	571...
	What?!
	I did the same thing.
	Oh, by $1,000.
	So $0.57.
	Per person.
	$0.57 is the CPM. That's pretty cheap, actually.
	It is cheap except for one thing.
	Well, actually, even taking this into account, it's relatively cheap.
	But...
	I think, if I'm not mistaken...
	We need to get...
	I don't think that one-tenth of those people actually ever check in on her.
	No, most of them are bots.
	So you have two...
	She has two million followers, supposedly.
	But she probably has...
	I don't know how many people actually listen.
	I know this changed a lot for me.
	I used to...
	I have an idea.
	I have an idea.
	Okay.
	Okay?
	There is...
	There's something very exciting going on.
	If my...
	It would be even cooler if my thing wasn't frozen here.
	Something very exciting going on.
	Maybe we can talk to Jay Carney.
	Maybe he can hook us up.
	This is from his...
	Yeah, this is from his...
	Your pal.
	My pal Jay.
	Yeah, he listens to us all the time and he loves how we portray him.
	This is the spokeshole...
	He doesn't even know who we are.
	The spokeshole for the United States.
	It's kind of a small crowd today.
	It's his show.
	This is his daily press briefing.
	It's kind of a small crowd today.
	Where is everybody?
	Well, we've got more important things to do to listen to your spoke holiness.
	To get started, I just wanted to say that today, as you know, I believe the White House announced through its official Twitter account, at White House, that it will host its first ever Twitter town hall on Wednesday, July 6th at 2 p.m.
	in the East Room of the White House.
	Twitter co-founder and executive chairman Jack Dorsey will moderate a conversation between President Obama and Americans across the country about the economy and jobs.
	Starting today, Twitter users can submit questions using the hashtag number sign AskObama.
	More information from Twitter can be found at the event's homepage, askobama.twitter.com.
	Very exciting.
	With that, I will take your questions.
	And you can always follow me on Twitter.
	The guy's an idiot.
	Nobody calls it a number sign.
	It's called a pound sign.
	He said hashtag number sign.
	Yeah, hashtag number sign.
	Because nobody's talking to me.
	He's an idiot.
	He's all over the tweeter.
	So I think we need to be, our producers out there need to be hashtag number signing, ask Obama, and promoting our show.
	Because I actually looked and it's not all that busy.
	Okay, let's do it.
	It goes, hashtag AskObama.
	No, no, hashtag number sign.
	Come on, you've got to do it right.
	Ask Obama.
	It would be, Barack, do you listen to the No Agenda show at noagendashow.com?
	Or you could say, George W. Obama, do you listen to the No Agenda show?
	But if we just spam that...
	I don't think we necessarily have to insult the guy.
	Oh, come on.
	Okay, whatever you want to do, but I think we should, if we flood, if everybody who listens to the No Agenda show floods this bull crap...
	This hashtag number sign.
	Hashtag number sign.
	Ask Obama.
	With a question as to whether or not he listens to the No Agenda show, I think we could probably pick up some viewers.
	I think this is this week's initiative.
	Let's just take a look at what's out there right now.
	Now, the last hashtag number sign Ask Obama was seven minutes ago.
	The one before that, 27 minutes ago.
	So this is low.
	This is not going to get any traction at all.
	Yeah, we can do this.
	We can flood it.
	Let's see if anything good is...
	Poker is not a crime!
	I support licensing and regulating online.
	That's the most recent one.
	Also, you can see from the retweets which Twitter accounts are shills.
	They're like, oh, ask your questions.
	Yeah, get your questions in.
	Chill.
	No kidding.
	Chill.
	Let's see.
	Why doesn't the U.S. have a secretary for the arts?
	Will you remove your appointee, Houston National Cemetery Director Arlene Ocasio for violating the First Amendment rights of vets and family?
	These are questions he'll answer immediately.
	I'm sure he's all over that.
	Do you believe prosecutors who intentionally break the law to convict innocent people should enjoy absolute immunity from lawsuit?
	I can see him just go, well, this is a good question.
	Let's take that one.
	And Jack Dorsey, he's going to...
	Remember, this is a throwback to like 1994 when we had celebrity IRC chats.
	It's no different.
	And Jack Dorsey's going to moderate it?
	What's he going to do?
	He's going to be typing, typing, typing, typing, typing?
	How's that going to work?
	They used to have celebrity AOL chats.
	Yeah.
	Remember?
	Keyword Ask Obama.
	Hashtag number sign keyword Ask Obama.
	It's just like, wow, really?
	Could you make it any more apparent that you own Twitter?
	And that's all you're doing?
	Well, I think it's up to us to have flooded the, because people will be looking it up, right?
	Because they're going to go hashtag, because you can search by clicking on that.
	Yeah.
	Click on that and get, so we should have at least at any given time.
	Here's Ripple DJ, do you listen to No Agenda?
	Richard, do you listen to No Agenda show available at noagendashow.com, hashtag number sign?
	Yeah, alright!
	We're flooding it, we got the first page already.
	This is great.
	Keep it rocking.
	This carny doesn't have a clue.
	He can't do these social media things and you can just so easily rig them.
	Well, that's the whole point.
	It's like fight fire with fire.
	I don't think the public's going to pick up on this and say, hey, we can do this.
	Yeah.
	Five new ones.
	I mean, luckily we got to it before Howard Stern got to it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	We need to be totally flooding this.
	Don't stop.
	We got guys with bots, I'm sure.
	Yeah, put your bots on it.
	Two or three of our guys have got bots.
	I'm sure a couple of our guys have bots.
	And that Mr.
	Oil with his Russian accent have got a suspicion.
	I don't know, I'm just saying.
	I'm not accusing anyone.
	Anyway, so on to serious news.
	Jay Carney, hashtag number sign, was asked a question at this very small group about this August...
	I wish I had a little more time.
	I'd spend a lot of time doing other stuff like watching C-SPAN. But I think we could actually produce an American Idol version of this debt ceiling limit.
	Because it's really all that it is.
	People just want a good competition.
	Nothing different than Celebrity Apprentice or Big Brother or even Celebrity Rehab.
	It's all the same.
	We just want someone to win and let's make it all exciting.
	The thing that gets me about this, besides the fact that it's bullcrap theater, is the fact, and of course nobody brings it up to two, I saw it a couple of times on some of these shows, but there's two things that aren't brought up much.
	One is the fact that Obama, with his stimulus packages, is the one who pushed the idea of giving tax breaks to those jet owners.
	Something even more interesting when it comes to that, this is an interview between Wolf, soon to be fired Blitzer, and Clinton, because Clinton has his global Clinton initiative, America.
	And this is something I did not know.
	Free vote.
	When he was senator, President Obama didn't vote to raise the debt.
	He regrets it now.
	He said that was a mistake.
	Did you know that?
	He made a...
	Oh, yeah.
	I didn't know that.
	That's what I was going to say next.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I didn't mean to...
	The fact is that he not only didn't vote for it during his entire tenure, because I think it was there long enough to not vote for it twice, because during Bush they raised it every year, and all these same guys are saying, ah, we can't raise it, or the same guys who voted every year after year after year to raise it, and Obama not only voted against it, but he gave a long-winded speech about how it shows lack of leadership that you have to do this in the first place.
	It wasn't a mistake.
	No.
	No, it wasn't a mistake.
	Clinton actually went on to say, you know, that's just what you do.
	Listen to...
	I love Clinton now that he's a little senile.
	You know, it's like...
	All those operations and all the drugs and everything and whatever it is.
	Listen to this.
	Since it's never happened before, it's impossible to be absolutely specific.
	But it's nutty what you're really saying when you don't raise a debt limit.
	It's nutty.
	It's just nutty.
	It's nutty, I tell ya.
	So anyway, so Carney gets posed the question, and I think that because it was such a small crowd, some woman snuck in.
	She was actually quite good, and she got in his face, and he was actually like, I don't know whose talking points you're repeating here.
	She's like, excuse me.
	Oh, yeah.
	What a...
	Yeah, douche.
	But she said, look, now I hear there's noise that August 2nd might not even be the ultimate drop-dead date.
	Yeah, they moved it to 22nd.
	What I can tell you is that Treasury, career people at the Treasury Department.
	Ooh, career people at the Treasury Department.
	Ooh, I like the meme.
	Career people.
	As opposed to just your everyday schlub.
	Yeah, career people.
	Smart people.
	In other words, you, slave, dumb.
	Evaluate the data, and this is obviously a big economy and a government that takes in a lot of money and has a lot of obligations to meet.
	And that their assessment is, A, that we already surpassed the debt ceiling, but because of things that we can do, The previous administrations have done that they were able to say that the deadline where we basically run out of tools in the toolbox to keep this going is August 2nd.
	If they make changes in that, that's for them to do.
	But I think we're talking about a narrow margin here.
	Whether it's August 1st or August 2nd or August 3rd, we are up against the wall.
	August 1st, August 2nd, August 3rd.
	Advertising.
	Yeah, whatever you want to call it.
	And then he goes right ahead and propagates the whole meme, which I just need to get back to because it's beginning to annoy me.
	And it is not at all reasonable to play chicken with the full faith.
	I mean, do you hear all this stuff?
	It's unbelievable.
	I mean, you know, you hear some folks saying that this is not a serious issue, that this is not something to be alarmed by.
	That somehow, as the President said yesterday, that it would be okay to pay interest on the debt, to pay bondholders, the Chinese government or others who hold treasuries, but not pay something else, maybe Social Security checks or veterans benefits.
	I mean, that's just not acceptable.
	That's not a good alternative.
	And there is no question, I think, According to outside economic analysts, that the markets would not view a decision to default charitably.
	And I think that, again, it's always worth reminding those lawmakers on the Hill who think somehow that this is a game That President Ronald Reagan did not think so.
	Oh, thank you.
	Yeah, we got Ronald.
	And there's a whole Ronald Reagan quote.
	But all of this...
	There's a Ronald Reagan meme going around I want to talk about later.
	So let me just...
	I'll be done in a second.
	I'm on the flow here.
	So this is really, what I've noticed, this is only about one thing.
	This whole debt ceiling thing is, it's being mangled from, this is all about corporate jet owners and hedge fund managers, which by the way, I'm convinced Obama is continuing to propagate this meme to guilt them into giving him money for his campaign.
	I think you actually came up with that initial assessment.
	But this is really all about taxes.
	And how we're going to, you know, taxes are just going to have to go up, and he's greasing the wheels, as it were, and this is from his radio address as broadcast on YouTube from this weekend.
	And nothing can be off-limits, including spending in the tax code.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Military can't be a touch, but everything else can't be off-limits.
	Particularly the loopholes that benefit very few individuals and corporations.
	Now, it would be nice if we could keep every tax break, but we can't afford them.
	Because if we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, or for hedge fund managers and corporate jet owners, or for oil and gas companies pulling in huge profits...
	Hold on, did he do this since we talked the last show?
	This is new?
	He's still harping on this?
	Yes!
	But listen to how he positioned it.
	He's putting imagery in your head.
	Corporate jet owners.
	How come he's not mentioning bankers?
	Why is it hedge fund managers specifically?
	Because hedge fund managers don't necessarily donate to campaigns.
	Banks donate to campaigns.
	I think that's the main deal.
	He's not saying bankers.
	Of course not.
	He's a hedge fund manager.
	It sounds more evil, too.
	But now listen to what he's saying.
	How about venture capitalists?
	How about Al Gore and Kleiner Perkins?
	Just a thought.
	...without our help.
	Then we'll have to make even deeper cuts somewhere else.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	So let me just understand.
	If we don't tax corporate jet owners, oil companies, and hedge fund managers, what is going to happen, John?
	They're going to have to shut down the police department, the fire department, and kick your kid out of school.
	Yeah, Timmy's not going to go to school.
	That's what it's all about.
	We've got to say to a student, you don't get a college scholarship.
	Shut up, slave.
	They don't anyway.
	We have to say to a medical researcher, you can't do that cancer research.
	Why are you saying that?
	What if the guy's independently wealthy and he's doing the research?
	Or if some big pharmaceutical company is paying for it, as most do.
	Yeah.
	It's bull crap.
	You might have to tell seniors.
	You have to pay more for your Medicare.
	John, you might have to pay more for your Medicare.
	Oh, no!
	That isn't right, and it isn't smart.
	That's not right.
	It's not smart.
	We've got to cut the deficit, but we can do that while making investments in education and research and technology that actually create jobs.
	We can live within our means while still investing in our future.
	All right, turn this guy.
	This is making me sick, and it's going to ruin the point I'm going to try to make.
	The guy's terrible.
	By the way, I think he's acting like a dick.
	Do you know that he got his daughter's age wrong during his speech?
	Yeah, I heard that.
	And I'm like, wow, that's...
	How do you do that?
	I mean, even if it's being washed away as well, you know, her birthday was coming up in a week, so...
	No, no.
	I don't say to anybody my daughter's 21.
	She's 20.
	No, no, no, you're missing this one.
	He did that on purpose.
	That way he can always use it as a callback when he doesn't run for the re-election.
	He can say, you know, even if you remember, I couldn't even remember my daughter's birthday.
	That's how far away I'm getting from my family.
	Very good.
	Very good.
	Okay.
	I believe that this whole thing that's going on with the debt ceiling is classic Washington payback.
	He made such a big stink about lack of leadership and everything else when he voted against raising the debt ceiling during the Bush administration that they're just paying him back.
	You can dish it out, but you can't take it.
	They're just waiting for the lack of leadership thing to come.
	Well, Obama's got no leadership skills here.
	I mean, the whole thing is a payback.
	I don't think the Republicans or the Democrats or anybody in there care about taxes one way or the other.
	As far as they're concerned, they can ruin the public as long as they stay in office.
	I'm not buying any deeper...
	But they're doing a really crappy job about it.
	Because I did not know that he had voted against it.
	And it's not really being propagated.
	Well, no.
	It's just between them.
	It's not for the public to know.
	Oh, really?
	That's even dumber.
	It's just like, we're giving it to you.
	We're giving you the needle.
	See how much you can take.
	Beg for mercy.
	Beg for mercy.
	You'll be my bitch!
	And the other one they're not talking about much is the fact that he's the one who instituted those private jet...
	It was him, and now he's railing against what he put in.
	Explain that.
	How did he institute that?
	If you look in 2009, there was a bunch of articles.
	The AP has a huge bunch of stories about how when they did TARP and bailout, there were specific provisions for the small jet manufacturers because it was going to create jobs in Wichita.
	Because the bailout guys were flying to Washington with their jets.
	Wasn't that how it started?
	Yeah.
	No, that's how it started, but then it was kind of, that part was covered up because the jet guy said, hey, you're ruining our business.
	So Obama says, okay, here's what we're going to do.
	In the bailout, we're going to give the jet owners a tax break, which will encourage sales, so Wichita and Beechcraft can sell more jets.
	He's the one who put it in.
	Now, the right wing is kind of torn about this because they were mocking it when it first came out, and now they can't, because they're going to look like a bunch of hypocrites too, so they're not saying much about it.
	They're just bitching about it.
	But they're not making this connection.
	I've only heard it twice on any of these TV stations.
	Right.
	That somebody mentioned that this is Obama's tax break.
	He's the one who created the tax break for the jet guys.
	And now he's complaining about it.
	I mean, this whole thing stinks.
	Dorch McGurkin.
	I'm looking at the hashtag.
	By the way, we have a new hashtag, which is hashtag number sign.
	Sure.
	Hashtag number sign Ask Obama.
	Do you realize that while you attack corporate jet owners, you're flying around in our jet?
	Hashtag Ask Obama.
	Why does your wife wear her belt so ridiculously high?
	At Barack Obama.
	You were mentioned on today's No Agenda show.
	Yeah, I'm sure he's clicking away as we speak.
	Hashtag Obama.
	By the way, are you still smoking?
	Keep it up, guys.
	Keep it up.
	But, you know, the six is when it all kicks into gear.
	But a lot of people will be looking for this hashtag number sign.
	And it's good promotion for the show.
	So I think that's good.
	Anyway, so that's what's going on here in Gitmo Nation, United States of brokenness.
	And Ms.
	Mickey and I, we're kind of, after the Hot Pockets tour, which I might remind you kicks off in 11 days, we are going to move out of the great state of California.
	Yeah, well, a wise thing, as far as I'm concerned.
	The state's ridiculous.
	And corrupt.
	That, too.
	Talking about corrupt, before we go into our little producer segment...
	Of course, we did get a lot of kudos on the tweeter for the fact that we called the...
	Oh, the Dominic Smith Khan?
	The Strauss Khan?
	Dominic Smith Khan.
	From now on, he's Dominic Smith Khan.
	Smith Khan, man.
	And so, it looks like...
	And I got a little analysis of it because the New York Times has some various write-ups that are obviously out to get Cyrus Vance.
	It's funny because...
	I was looking at this, I'm like, where is the connection?
	What's going on?
	By the way, it's Cyrus Vance Jr.
	Right.
	He's also an old man, by the way.
	This is the only connection I could make.
	And he is son of former Secretary of State during the, was it Carter administration?
	Maybe.
	Yeah, yeah, here it is.
	Cyrus Vance, Secretary of State for the Carter administration.
	But you know, there's a Sarkozy connection there.
	Did you know that?
	No.
	So, Nicolas Sarkozy, his stepfather, Frank G. Weisner II... He was a prominent CIA official who married his stepmother, Christine de Janais, in 1977, served as Deputy Executive Secretary of State under Cyrus Vance.
	It's a stretch, but that's the only one I could really find.
	There is a Sarkozy-Syrus Vance connection, which kind of threw me for a loop because I'm like, well, maybe it partially was about the presidential elections.
	Maybe.
	But from that level, it's a little interesting.
	But just who are we kidding?
	It's like the guy gets accused, they perp walk in, it's huge, it's like he's ripped off the plane.
	He immediately loses his job.
	The Chicago 25-alum Chicago law firm Schill from Baker McKenzie, don't be fooled by the French accent, she's the managing director of one of the oldest and very prestigious law firms in the country from the Chicago cabal.
	She takes his job two days later.
	Oh, man.
	Damn, man.
	I'm sorry.
	We've got to let you go.
	I mean, really?
	Really?
	You have to do what you gotta do.
	Well, do you have any analysis?
	Well, I'll do it after the major break when I go to the New York Times for my little segment.
	Oh, that's right.
	I have to get your...
	And in regards to Cyrus Vance, I don't have any real major analysis about why, you know, what he really is connected to.
	All I know is it's apparent by reading the Times that they're out to get him.
	Do you know that the woman who was running the sex crime unit for the past 10 years resigned yesterday?
	Why?
	Well, the bogus thing, so she resigned, but now they're saying she was fired because she appeared in an HBO documentary on the 20th.
	Her name is Lisa Friel.
	By the way, she's kind of milfy looking.
	Not that it matters, but just interesting.
	And there's now people saying, oh, you know, you talked about evidence about some case.
	It wasn't related to Dominique Smith-Kahn.
	And Nicole Smith-Kahn.
	But that's why she was fired.
	Now, this is not anything official.
	She, of course, said she's leaving to pursue outside interests.
	But I have to say...
	The coincidence of her resigning a day after this case falls apart, there's too much fishiness going on.
	No, the whole thing is fishy, and of course they're blaming this Vance character, because apparently he fired a bunch of district attorneys that I guess are very popular, I don't know.
	I think the New York Police Department has got to be a web of corruption in all kinds of different levels.
	I mean, as any giant police department would be.
	Well, who's in charge of the police at the end of the day?
	It's Bloomberg.
	Yeah, and Bloomberg would be, yeah, right.
	I think that Vance is not playing ball or whatever he's doing wrong, and he was targeted.
	I think this was the whole thing that set him up, because they were blaming him, and people said, well, they should fire him.
	Well, he just takes the cases that the police give him, and they give him a solid, rock-solid case on a silver platter.
	Did he say, wait a minute, this case is bogus?
	No, the police gave him a solid case.
	And then when they started to investigate it a little further at the DA level, they found that the thing was bull crap.
	My favorite one is they translated a phone call from the woman, the rapee, calling her boyfriend in jail in Arizona when they apparently record the calls in Arizona in the prison.
	And she's talking in some weird language that took this long to translate apparently a couple of days ago.
	And she's saying, don't worry, honey, this guy's worth a lot of money.
	Yeah.
	laughter I know.
	Yeah.
	But then her lawyer came out, and he said some really shocking things.
	My favorite thing by him was where he called the district attorney, Vance, a coward for not doing the case.
	This is what I thought was shocking.
	I was listening to this, and I'm like, wow, this is just shocking.
	By the way, her first attorney was some ambulance chaser.
	He got pulled off real quick, and then they put this guy in.
	When the victim walked into that suite, she did so for one reason.
	And that was to clean that suite.
	She was told no one was inside that room.
	And she went into that room believing that no one was inside that room.
	And then Dominique Strauss-Kahn came out running out of one of those rooms naked towards her.
	And he grabbed her breast first and started to attack her.
	He then grabbed her vagina with so much force that he bruised her vagina.
	And it just goes on and on and on about vagina.
	I was like, wow.
	And you listen to the whole thing, and you can find that at 318.nashownotes.com.
	It's shocking!
	This guy really pulled out all the stops.
	He bruised her vagina, he hurt her vagina, he grabbed her vagina with so much force.
	It's like, oh, okay.
	By the way, that's not a clip you're going to see on your nightly news.
	No.
	Because we can't say vagina.
	You can't say anything.
	It's deteriorated to an extreme.
	So let's thank our producers for today's show.
	After that little depressing bit.
	Well, they're the guys who make it so we can actually play clips like that and discuss...
	Probably angles to stories that other people just simply won't even consider because they don't have enough time, A, and they got to cut to a commercial, and then they're at the mercy of the people that are playing the commercials.
	So let's start.
	We have three executive producers and four, it looks like, associate executives.
	I'm sorry, I got one, two, three...
	Two executive producers and three associates.
	Just a quick programming note.
	Miss Mickey, could you grab the papers that are to the left of my laptop?
	It's the counterintelligence report.
	How does that sound?
	Honey, could you please grab me the counterintelligence report?
	It's to the left of the laptop.
	It's about 30 pages.
	Thank you, honey.
	Yeah, the one that's encrypted and it's in there.
	No, it is.
	It's the counterintelligence report.
	With the handcuffs on it, the hook to the briefcase.
	I remember I forgot to bring it into the studio.
	I don't want to interrupt the flow.
	So, all right, let's go.
	James Briscoe, 33827, who becomes a knight today from Bayshore, New York, was highly amused by my pronunciation of Ron Concoma.
	I guess I got it wrong.
	If you're going to donate this kind of money to become a knight, I guess I can pronounce some more fun names.
	Patchhog, Hophog.
	Quag.
	You got Quag right.
	Islandia.
	Wyandanch.
	Thank you, man.
	Is that the counterintelligence report?
	Spionk and Mineola.
	What I was referring to before with respect to an executive producer level donation was this, that I donate on that level for the show right after the 1,000 rupee donation was read.
	So here it is.
	It's well-deserved.
	Ask if you could please credit, hopefully, the executive producer credit to my 15-year-old cousin, Dylan Longworth.
	Sure he'd get a kick out of it.
	With respect to the karma, it is appreciated.
	I just don't want to dilute its value to others as karma for my plight is secondary to those who need it for a job.
	And the bit about handwriting, I was referring to my handwriting on the envelope, not on the note itself.
	Adios, mofos.
	Jim.
	So does he want some karma?
	Do you give him karma or not?
	He doesn't specifically ask for it.
	He just wants us to transfer the ownership of the executive producer to Dylan.
	Okay, then I'll...
	Let me just put it in there then.
	Dylan will be executive producer.
	So it's Dylan Longworth.
	Cool.
	Alright.
	David Peterson in Mina, Arkansas.
	Whoa!
	Yeah, that's where all those kids got killed for discovering Clinton smuggling drugs.
	$333.33, so he needs a de-douching.
	Yeah, big time.
	You've been de-douched.
	He says he needs a de-douching because I almost went out and bought a Porsche before donating to the show.
	Also, I need some karma for a new job I'm starting on Wednesday.
	Wow!
	Who needs karma when you've got a Porsche?
	You've got karma.
	Wow.
	Really?
	A Porsche has like a $150,000 car, isn't it?
	Well, there's cheaper ones.
	Oh, yeah.
	I don't even get my sob washed anymore.
	There's a guy who came up at the gas station.
	Five bucks, dude.
	No, he had some spray can.
	He's like, yeah, see these water stains?
	He's like, no, man, that's all right.
	Oh, I ran into that guy.
	It's the same guy, I'm sure.
	It's annoying.
	Yeah, they show up all over the place.
	Like, go away.
	No, please don't.
	Don't show me how great your spray can is.
	Yeah, but it's free.
	No, it's all right.
	The guys had the spray cans.
	They come up to you at the gas station.
	It's like a team.
	It's like the guys who used to sell candy bars door-to-door for some scammer.
	So the guy comes up to me and says, yeah, it does this and does that.
	I said, really?
	It'll clean up the headlights, the ones where the plastic's kind of corroded so the light can barely go through?
	He says, yeah, yeah.
	I said, really?
	Go clean my headlights.
	And he couldn't get anywhere with them.
	So that took care of that.
	Mark Martinette's another thing.
	I'm sorry, we have three executive producers.
	Santa Monica, California in the morning.
	John and Adam is my third and hopefully luckiest donation.
	I'd like to ask for our three karma shots to help my new job search.
	I don't know.
	We don't have them down for knighthood because if you did three, this is a 33333 when you would throw in the penny.
	Yeah, Buzzkill Jr., can you just check on that?
	Yeah, check on this guy, and otherwise we're going to have to put him into Black Knight status next show.
	I'd like to have my new job search.
	Second karma shot for my cousin Claire, who found out her cancer was returned, and the third for my sister, who needed triple karma, karma, karma.
	My sister is a teacher in the great state of California and needs a new job even after she got nothing but good reviews from her department and parents.
	Thanks for the student parents, obviously.
	Thanks for the great show.
	Please have John pronounce my last name correctly.
	Martinet.
	It is French and karma needs to know who it is going to.
	I guess it's Martinet, right?
	Yeah, that would be correct.
	Okay, Monsieur Martinet, karma numero uno.
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	We really got to do three?
	That's kind of weird, though.
	You could have snuffed them all together.
	I don't have it.
	I don't have it.
	I only have one button for the karma.
	So here we go, last one.
	You've got karma.
	So that's a 3-3-3, boy, 3-3 karma.
	Shout out, triple shot.
	Thank you, Buzzkill Jr.
	No, he's not a knight yet, but he's getting there.
	He's getting there.
	Yeah, he's getting there.
	Okay.
	But he's not done, he has not done the trifecta.
	Also, by the way, if you're going to do your knighthoods based on various, do your accounting and send it to us.
	Stephen Pelsmacher, very involved in Pelsmacher.
	He's back again.
	Of Belgium is helping us again.
	Once again, he's our all-time high patron.
	235, in honor of the 235th anniversary of Gitmo Nation's Independence Day.
	Hopefully it won't be the last.
	He sends me a lot of articles.
	Did you know that all street lamps in Belgium are now put at half power?
	To conserve energy.
	Like, why?
	Because they're broke.
	They've got no government, no money.
	And that Farid douche on CNN, he did a whole piece on Belgium this morning about how funny and how awesome they are because they just bear with it.
	No government, no problem.
	That's exactly what Europe wants.
	Yeah, so the EU can take it.
	Yes, exactly.
	And put your street lamps at half power.
	Did he mention that?
	No, of course not.
	Oh.
	No.
	Well, what kind of a report is that?
	No.
	So we had, anyway, Stephen, Sir Baron, Baron von Pelsmeckers will be an associate executive producer with Nicola Kress in St.
	Nicola.
	I'm sorry, St.
	Nicola.
	Clark's in Western Australia.
	St.
	Nicky here?
	I need another karma for my patients, so this is our nurse.
	Right.
	Some really tough cases lately.
	It leaves traces on my mood.
	Now, is St.
	Nicky associate?
	She's an associate, yeah.
	Okay, here's for your patience, say, Nikki, and you are sure, say, karma.
	Yeah, doesn't she work at, like, some cancer ward or something?
	Yeah, something bad.
	She's trying hard to get more people into you.
	Unfortunately, there's not much interest, she says.
	Thanks!
	People who are dying are like...
	Don't sell it to newbies.
	Sell it to the already people that are already skeptical.
	No, no.
	She's like, don't tell your patients.
	This is where the patients are like, I'm dying.
	I don't need to hear this crap.
	This is the no agenda show.
	Oh, lifestyle worth living.
	Random douchebag for all the distracted slaves.
	Douchebag!
	Thank you, St.
	Nico.
	John Grumling in Aspen, Colorado.
	$200 ready kilowatt in the chat room.
	Fantastic shows recently.
	Unbelievable how the MSM completely ignores all the crap going on in Washington.
	Even more unbelievable that no one seems to care.
	Which, by the way, I agree with him.
	That's what, to me, is always unbelievable.
	No one cares.
	No one cares.
	Keep up the fight.
	They fight with bombs.
	We fight with the truth.
	Neil Liston in Edinburgh, Lothians, UK. Brilliant show, guys.
	The absolute best.
	Can you please send some karma to my brother, Mark, who is suffering from lack of employment here in Gitmo Nation, Haggis.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Coming your way, Mark.
	You've got karma.
	And so we have a lot of...
	I want to thank all the producers, by the way.
	Samuel Jones in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
	The last one, $200.
	Liston and Grumley were also $200.
	There's some of my treasure.
	A vial of my blood is in the mail.
	I live in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
	I think, remember you guys saying that Maggie Vincent lives there, too, and he wants to hook up when you're floating around.
	That's Baroness Maggie Vincent of Virginia, supplier of the official Hot Pockets 2008 tour vehicle.
	As long as I have this form, I'd like to recommend some movies and books.
	Fathead is a great documentary about real healthy eating, available via streaming on Netflix.
	The Case Against the Fed by Murray N. Rothbard is often cited by Ron Paul as an influence.
	And it tells you enough about our banking system to make you want to puke.
	Speaking of Ron Paul, I haven't heard you mention his new book, Liberty Defined.
	I have not read it yet.
	I haven't either.
	I don't know why, because I read his in the Fed.
	Call out his brother Matt as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Because he's never donated.
	So that would do it for today's executive producers, that is, of this show.
	And we want to thank them.
	It makes the show possible.
	Everybody who contributes, we really appreciate this.
	And again, you're not going to get this kind of analysis or community, actually, anyplace else.
	In fact, let me give you an example.
	Already we've covered Dominic Smith-Kahn.
	We've covered Obama actually riling against things that he's done in the past.
	I mean, this is a real conversation.
	We're not like J-School guys or anything, but, you know, it's just based on factual information.
	Here's what the nightly news was and NBC. This is like the big network.
	Here's their topics.
	Broadcast tonight's system failure exposing a gaping hole in airport security.
	How did a man get through screening onto a plane and all the way across the country with a boarding pass that wasn't his?
	Fighting words after being called out by the President, the Senate will come back to work during their July break, while Republicans had some choice words for it.
	Fast-track, China is rocketing ahead of the U.S. with high-speed rail.
	And it has a lot of people wondering how long we can keep chugging along the same old track.
	And Royal Road Trip, the newlyweds are just over our northern border tonight and about to take the U.S. by storm.
	Nightly news begins now.
	So let me get this right.
	Wait, wait, what was the extra, extra, extra thing in there?
	I know.
	So we had planes really bad, trains really good.
	All aboard, trains good, planes bad.
	And then we had something about the Royals, and then some other thing.
	It's like, that's not news, Brian Williams.
	That's not news.
	It's horrible.
	We want to mention that Dvorak.org slash NA and NoAgendaNation.com and ChannelDvorak.com slash NA for people who wanted to become executive producers for this show and next show coming up.
	Yeah, we have a couple of interesting shows on the way, of course.
	We had no 318 Club members today.
	That's weird.
	You can become a member of the...
	We've got 321 coming up, 321, and 333, of course, is the big one.
	And information on how to support the show is available at lots of places.
	We have moving up towards 500 domain names now, all pointing, independently registered, all pointing to NoAgendaShow.com.
	A couple new forwards came in.
	NoAgendaResearch.com.
	Which is interesting.
	We have, I don't understand this one, fishbulbphoto.com.
	Am I missing something there?
	What is it again?
	Fishbulbphoto.
	Fishbulb?
	Bulb, yeah.
	Fishbulb.
	Yeah.
	No, I don't know.
	I don't understand either.
	Somebody in the chat room might get it.
	Bloodtreasure.com.
	I like that one.
	That's a good one.
	Pete, good job there.
	You can always follow me on Twitter.com.
	And you can always follow me on Twitter.
	You can always follow me on Twitter.com.
	Now pointing to NoGenaShow.com.
	Buzzkillandcrackpot.com.
	We've had Crackpot and Buzzkill, so that's nice.
	Loafersontheground.com, which of course is our phrase for the CIA, now involved everywhere in the Arab Spring.
	Escape from Gitmonation.com?
	Securesharedservices.com, which you thought was hilarious for some reason.
	I didn't quite understand.
	It was because it's like a big deal in the UK right now.
	Oh, it's the Gitmonation East UK government secure shared services.
	Got it.
	Yes, they're cloud or whatever.
	We also have securesharedservices.co.uk.
	I need to be safe.
	Hey, these guys.
	That's probably an auctionable one at some point.
	These guys can help me.
	These John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry, yeah.
	Who the hell are they?
	Hitpeopleinthemouth.com apparently was still available, but now we have redirects.
	A lot of them.
	This is from Greg, who's a PHP dev.
	So if you do hitpeopleinthemouth.com slash show, you go to noagendershow.com slash iTunes, you get the iTunes feed slash NA, you get...
	He's got a whole bunch set up.
	Slash RSS, slash Zoom, slash stream.
	Just tons of stuff.
	And you can do slash and then any show number and it'll take you to the show notes.
	Great job.
	Yeah, no, it's very cool.
	I like that.
	Yeah, it's very cool.
	NoagendaMemes.com NoagendaSurvival.com And here's...
	I have no idea and I'm going to give a shout out to Toby.
	I can't believe that this trademark...
	Trademark, mind you, and licensed phrase was available.
	IfYouSeeSomethingSaySomething.com Can you believe that?
	Really?
	Yep.
	Go ahead and try it.
	IfYouSeeSomethingSaySomething.com IfYouSeeSomethingSaySomething.com And that redirects directly to NoAgendaShow.com Great job, Toby.
	That's fantastic.
	I don't understand how...
	What kind of boneheads are these people?
	Really?
	That's like the number one thing you've got to do.
	It's like, yeah, I'm going to trademark this.
	It's like SeanHannity.com.
	But before you even trademark it, you get the domain name because once you trademark it, somebody's going to do what we just did.
	Yeah, hijack it.
	I'm famous for it.
	I can just see it now.
	Adam Curry arrested in Los Angeles.
	Trying to escape California.
	The known domain name hijacker.
	He hijacked and stole MTV's name, which of course would be not true.
	William Wilson was asked for comment.
	Well, we understand Mr.
	Curry was actually renting a, he was going to go to Virginia, suspiciously go to Virginia, then he was going to get into an RV and disappear.
	Flight risk.
	He's a flight risk.
	We've got to grab him now.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I can just see it.
	They'll be standing out and they'll do a stand-up.
	Stand-up.
	And a perp walk.
	Well, thank you, Wolf.
	We're outside this house where Adam Curry was renting with an unknown woman.
	And this house, funny to know, John, sorry, Wolf, was used by porn companies.
	We talked to one of the neighbors.
	Yeah, you know, there were really lots of cameras and lights they had going in, and we always thought it was kind of suspicious.
	And that's it from the Porn House with a domain name hijacker and lone wolf terrorist Adam Curry.
	Back to you in the studio.
	That's about it.
	I think you nailed it.
	And Tim asked if we could mention this again.
	Please, I was sitting in a coffee shop.
	I live on top of a coffee shop.
	And I've got my Wi-Fi router, the guest zone, set up with noagendashow.com password in the morning.
	Time to mention that again because it's a really good idea.
	And I wholeheartedly agree.
	And whoever did the CSS design for podcastlicense.com If you are within the sound of my voice, please help me, because I screwed something up.
	We need the CSS. What did you do?
	Well, I've been working a lot on the servers and all these domain names, and something went horribly wrong with the CSS. And if you ever looked at CSS and tried to do that, John, it's like...
	It's hard to debug.
	It's just very hard.
	So if anyone could please help me so we can reinstall them because we got a couple people who have donated $33.33 to the show and subsequently deserve a podcast license.
	I still have not done the ones from the previous show because it was all messed up.
	So they're stacking up and we got to get these licenses out there because people have to be listening to this show legally.
	So please, if you can, or if someone else has a great CSS design, whatever, we'll take all the help we can get.
	So thank you all very much for your PR efforts.
	That is highly appreciated.
	Our Associate Executive Producers, St.
	Nicky, John Grumling, Neil Lister, and Samuel Jones, along with our Executive Producers, Dylan Longworth, Mark Mariné, and Baron Statham Pelsmachers.
	Of course, for all of you, some of you already have a credit.
	You know you can add it to that list.
	Unlike the phonies in Hollywood, we will actually vouch for you at any time when you need us to do that.
	And if you're out there and you'd like to help out, here's something you can do.
	Propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Mew.
	Water.
	Order.
	Stay with me, everybody.
	Shut up!
	So, um, I asked Miss Mickey to bring it in.
	You know, we have a new douche who is in charge of counter-terrorism.
	Yeah, I saw this guy.
	Did you see, by the way, they did a special on one of these shows where they actually brought you into the counter-terrorism area where apparently he manages with all the computers and screens.
	What was that?
	What a waste of money.
	Well, here's my beef.
	So this guy's name is Matthew Olson.
	The guy who was in there was like a military guy.
	And I think if you're going to have someone who's in charge of counter-terrorism, and terror, of course, is a big deal these days, then it should be someone who knows about, I don't know, combat and terror.
	This guy's a lawyer!
	He's a lawyer!
	He's a lawyer from the NSA! And a former prosecutor.
	Really?
	A lawyer is now going to be in charge?
	The chief of counter-terrorism?
	That means they must be worried sick about getting sued.
	Yes.
	Now, so they released a brief.
	It's on WhiteHouse.gov.
	It is the National Strategy for Counter-Terrorism.
	Squirrel!
	And I just wanted to mention a few things.
	I understand why they brought a lawyer in because it's a lawyer document.
	The whole thing has footnotes and caveats.
	So the principal focus of the National Strategy for Counterterrorism is the collection of groups and individuals who comprise Al-Qaeda and its affiliates and adherents.
	And it even says here, definition, adherents, individuals who have performed collaborative relationships with, act on behalf of, or are otherwise inspired to take action in furtherance of the goals of Al-Qaeda, the organization, or are otherwise inspired to take action in furtherance of the goals of Al-Qaeda, the organization, and the ideology, including by engaging in violence regardless of whether such violence is targeted at the United
	wow, that is like Don't they call that broad and overreaching in the court?
	Isn't that kind of what they say?
	Absolutely, but I have a bigger question.
	Specifically, I'll ask you.
	Specifically, what are the goals of Al-Qaeda?
	Specifically.
	Is it in there?
	Yeah, so there's a couple of things.
	So there's a footnote here.
	One, first it says, affiliates is not a legal term of art.
	Although it includes associated forces, it additionally includes groups and individuals against whom the United States is not authorized to use force based on the authorities granted by the authorization for the use of military force.
	The use of affiliates in this strategy, in this brief, is intended to reflect a broader category of entities against whom the United States must bring various elements of national power as appropriate and consistent with the law to counter the is intended to reflect a broader category of entities against whom the United
	Associated forces is a legal term of art that refers to co-belligerence of Al-Qaeda or the Taliban against whom the president is authorized to use force.
	Oh, they brought the Taliban in.
	And then they go back to the use of authorization for use of military force, 2001, which George Bush signed.
	Let me see.
	I think I can answer your question here.
	Our principle of creating a culture of resilience, in other words, rat on your neighbor, is reflected in more detail in Presidential Policy Directive 8.
	Now, these are the big deal.
	This came out in May 2011, and there's a link to it in the show notes.
	I'm not going to talk about it now, but you should read this.
	This PPD is aimed at strengthening the security and resilience of the United States through systematic preparation for the threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the nation, including acts of terrorism, cyber attacks, pandemics, and catastrophic natural disasters.
	A natural disaster?
	Oh yeah, because that's the earthquake machine.
	They're covering their legal ass there.
	Two more points.
	Before you make these points, I thought you were going to tell me what the goals of Al-Qaeda were.
	It's long.
	It's the whole introduction.
	You can't boil it down to two sentences?
	The goals of Al-Qaeda are?
	To kill Americans.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, that's at least simple.
	So there's two things that...
	It's like 40 pages.
	The United States deliberately uses the word war...
	To describe our relentless campaign against Al-Qaeda.
	However, this administration has made it clear that we are not at war with the tactic of terrorism or the religion of Islam.
	We are at war with a specific organization, Al-Qaeda.
	Which is beautiful because now it's belligerents and everyone adherents.
	It's crazy.
	No wonder they brought the lawyer in.
	Now let me ask you this question.
	Who did we kill in Pakistan?
	I think there was a guy named Bin Laden.
	Seriously, what was his name?
	The president said his name.
	What was his name?
	Osama or Osama Bin Laden.
	Now, the president clearly said Osama.
	No, he said Osama, didn't he?
	I think he said Osama.
	I thought he said Osama.
	I know we debated this on the show about the Osama versus the Osama, one being code for something.
	Well, because here it says, specifically, you never see this spelled anymore with a U. It's always with an O. Every news organization, the New York Times, look in the New York Times, see if you can find, if they spell it Osama or Usama, because I think there's two different guys.
	Seriously!
	And here in this document it says the death of Usama bin Laden.
	So, who did we kill?
	Osama or Usama?
	Osama, Usama, Sama, Sama, hey, Sama, hey, Sama, Osama!
	So anyway, so that's our...
	Shadow Puppet Theater!
	Bring in the lawyers, because that's exactly what's going to be happening.
	We're just going to be arresting people left and right based upon their adherence and belligerence.
	So while you were doing that, I was listening to the CIA mouthpiece that comes out of the woodwork.
	She's on CNN, she's on Fox, she's everywhere.
	This Fran Townsend.
	Very attractive woman.
	And when you hear her introduction, you go, my God, why don't we just read a press release?
	I want to play, because she talks about some of this, especially about the Yemen stuff going on, and I want to just deconstruct a little of it, but before we do that, so people can get used to the fact that she stammers before she's trying to remember her script.
	I have a Townsend medley of stammer, so we can get into the pacing of it.
	Oh, hold on.
	I queued up your...
	I didn't know there was three.
	Okay.
	Oh, we have a medley.
	John, lovely.
	I love that.
	You know, Jessica, Yemen is, and referred, you know, the vice president of Yemen referred, in Yemen, and helped the Yemeni, the remaining Yemeni.
	Look, look, well, it's incredibly, and look, this, they have provided some help.
	Wow!
	Wait, wait, hold on.
	First of all, I'm looking at her now.
	Sorry, she does not qualify for a MILF shot.
	And she has very thin lips.
	Because she's been lying all of her life.
	People who lie a lot, they have very thin lips.
	They're the most British.
	Wow.
	So that was a lot of stammering.
	Yeah, well, here she, I got two clips from her.
	One is on Yemen and the other one over Pakistan.
	And the stammering really kicks it up a notch when she talks about Pakistan.
	But I consider when she speaks, I always pay attention to her because she's got a pipeline to something.
	And when you listen to her introduction, you'll kind of have a clue as to why she should be listened to.
	Now let's get some analysis on the situations in both Pakistan and Yemen with Fran Townsend, CNN national security contributor and former Homeland Security Advisor to President Bush.
	She is also a member of both the CIA and DHS external advisory boards.
	And, okay, her hotness just kicked up a notch.
	It's like, I don't care, baby, just turn off the light.
	Hi Fran, so first let's start with Yemen.
	We heard Nick Robertson describe a pretty frightening picture there.
	What are your sources saying about what's really going on in that country?
	You know, Jessica, Yemen has been a top priority and huge concern across two administrations now.
	When I was in the White House, I had responsibility on the counterterrorism issue.
	And John Brennan, President Obama's Homeland Security and counterterrorism advisor, is struggling with this issue now.
	And the Vice President of Yemen referred to John in his interview with Nick Robertson.
	Look, the United States has put tremendous amount of capability and resources there to try and help sort of stabilize the situation.
	There's no question we have every form of human intelligence, technical intelligence.
	We're trying to target and help the remaining Yemeni government target al-Qaeda.
	But I think what we hear from Nick's report and from others in the region is that we're losing that.
	And Yemen is losing its ability to control key provinces, key regions of their own country.
	In Yemen, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which is the main al-Qaeda affiliate there...
	He's the strongest of the affiliates.
	They are the most capable.
	They have the most capable bomb maker.
	Remember, we've got Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born al-Qaeda cleric there.
	And so this really is probably the single most important serious threat for the ability to launch an attack into the United States there in Yemen.
	And that threat's getting worse, not better.
	Okay, here we go.
	Every meme in the world.
	First of all, why is this guy, whoever this guy is, the bomb maker?
	None of his bombs have ever exploded.
	He's the bomb maker.
	So they got the best bomb maker.
	They got affiliates.
	They got the affiliate program going on.
	Hey, that's illegal in California.
	You can't have an affiliate for Al-Qaeda in California unless you pay sales tax.
	So they got an affiliate program.
	So I guess everybody gets a nickel or a dime for every new recruit.
	I don't know.
	It sounds like a pyramid scheme.
	So they got an affiliate program, and then they got our cleric, the American cleric bullcrapper.
	That idiot.
	And then, of course, this is where all the attacks...
	In other words, Yemen is going to be attacking us tomorrow.
	Yeah.
	What?
	Is the public so stupid?
	This country, these guys haven't got enough money to do anything.
	In fact, they have a report about, which is, let's see if I have it on here.
	Well, it's in the counter-terrorism report.
	That's the number one thing.
	Arabian Peninsula, Al-Qaeda, and Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, AQAP, And it says right here, this is the first after all that bullcrap legalese, the United States faces two major counterterrorism challenges in the Arabian Peninsula, the direct threat posed by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula,
	and the large quantity of financial support from individuals and charities that flow from that region to Al-Qaeda, its affiliates, and adherents around the world.
	Hey, can I be your adherent?
	Is that like a dependent?
	Yes.
	Well, I don't know if I get a tax write-off.
	I'm all for it.
	So meanwhile, of course, there was a BBC report.
	These memes about Yemen are everywhere.
	The BBC had a really funny report about play the wait 10 days for gas clip.
	Oh, it's a little intermezzo here.
	Another line of cars.
	The only way to see it properly is by car.
	I'm going to drive down the line this way now.
	It's just car after car after car.
	Some of them have been lining up for days.
	And here's the checkpoint here.
	People tell us there's an impromptu checkpoint.
	They're protesting.
	They say that there's no fuel and they're closing the road.
	But it's situations like this that have led to recent gun battles breaking out.
	The front of the gas line is about a couple of hundred yards just down the road there.
	So how long have people been waiting here to buy gas?
	They're waiting for 10 days.
	10 days to get gas?
	10 days or more than 10 days.
	And how are people beginning to feel about that?
	Is this making them angry?
	Is this making them angry?
	I've been here for 10 days!
	Are you pissed off?
	I love that question.
	They've been waiting for gasoline for 10 days.
	The line is a mile long still.
	And then you ask this idiotic question.
	Is this making you angry?
	I just thought it was beautiful.
	Was this Yemen?
	Yeah, Yemen is out of gas.
	Wow.
	And so they got everybody lined up.
	This is one way to disable the public.
	You just take their gasoline away.
	I mean, why would all of a sudden there be no gasoline in Yemen?
	I mean, what's changed?
	Because the guy got, there was a bomb threat or something?
	I mean, this whole thing is rigged.
	Well, this is what we do continuously.
	I think maybe we just need to...
	And I'd love to hear the stammering woman some more.
	Yeah, I have her on Pakistan next.
	So what I'm seeing happening, and I have a couple of Lucifer Clinton clips to confirm this, it's very simple what we do.
	First of all, without oil, we die.
	Sometimes we have to revisit that, John.
	People don't understand that oil is not what just goes in your car and in the airplane.
	Everything.
	Without oil, we wouldn't have packaging, fertilizer, refrigeration.
	Paint, plastic monitors, computer parts, motherboards.
	But how about food stuff?
	I mean, fertilizer.
	Fertilizer.
	All kinds of stuff.
	There is no world without oil.
	We are a petroleum economy.
	There is no world without oil.
	It just isn't.
	And what do you think the percentage is that actually goes into producing energy, John?
	Do you have a handle on that?
	No, I should know that, actually, believe it or not.
	I admit to I should know it.
	I don't.
	But I would assume it might be less than half.
	I think it's probably more like 30%.
	I'm just guessing.
	I have no idea what I'm talking about.
	No, we can look it up.
	We'll look it up, and maybe somebody else can dig this up for us, too.
	We should know this.
	This is a top-of-the-hand thing.
	Everyone in the public should know this.
	Stupid we don't know that.
	So maybe someone could consult the Book of Knowledge for us.
	So without that, you die.
	Everyone dies.
	We need it.
	So whoever has the most of it wins.
	And that's why we're doing seven countries in five years, as General Wesley Clark stated, right after September 11th.
	That's why we're doing it.
	It's not to save people from their evil dictators.
	We're doing it because we want to win.
	And I don't agree with it, but that's what's going on.
	And the people who do this, they really believe it's necessary.
	They really do.
	So we go in, we stir up some crap, and all these countries who have, what does Yemen have?
	Well, Yemen's a pretty poor country.
	No, no, no.
	They don't really have a lot.
	Come on, we've been through this.
	Sideways drilling into Saudi Arabia.
	Oh, yeah, no, they have the sideways drilling.
	Sideways drilling right into Saudi Arabia.
	About a year ago, we talked about this.
	Yeah, we're sucking out all of the oil from Saudi Arabia with sideways drilling or horizontal drilling, whatever it's called.
	Yeah, you can go a long ways with those drills.
	Yeah, Libya, oil.
	Sudan, oil, refineries, and shipping.
	Syria, shipping.
	Of oil.
	It's all about the oil.
	And it's not just what goes into your car.
	So that's why this is happening.
	As long as you know it...
	God, it's warm in here today.
	Like we had a heat wave.
	I'm schvitzing.
	Well, you know, the idea of living in a petroleum economy never bothered me.
	I think they're just handling it poorly.
	I think you can do it without badgering everybody and causing this sort of...
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, the problem is people like to get extremely wealthy in the process because we're not educated on how it works.
	We all could get along.
	We all could figure it out.
	And we could be paying like a buck, I think.
	We could be paying a buck for gasoline.
	Yeah.
	Take me back to Fran because she's funny.
	OK, well, Fran, so she finished her little thing on Yemen.
	So they ask her about Pakistan and she's less secure on this one.
	And this is kind of interesting because she's giving this little stammering pronouncements about Pakistan.
	The Pakistani ambassador of the United States is giving a speech on C-SPAN.
	Really funny guy.
	Great guy.
	And he's discussing the fact that most of the words, all this negative, these negative memes about Pakistan are all bogus.
	He says there's all kinds of backroom deals and agreements that are made that Pakistanis have to say one thing for their public and then they do something else.
	He was very adamant about the fact that this anti-Pakistan move is something of some theater involved.
	And she's definitely part of it.
	She's the one who gives the theatrical presentation of our relationship to Pakistan, deteriorating, which is the meme.
	And I think this is at least one part of the...
	Of the ruling elite's opinion of how the public should be thinking about Pakistan.
	You've painted a frightening picture in Yemen, turning to Pakistan now.
	We've seen the Taliban infiltrate nearly every federal agency in that country.
	Just how precarious is the security situation there?
	Well, it's incredibly precarious.
	And look, this comes at a time where one U.S. official said to me we're at the lowest point in our bilateral relationship with Pakistan that he has seen in his many decades working this issue.
	And I think that's right.
	You know, look, Leon Panetta is now the Secretary of Defense, but certainly he wasn't enjoying a great relationship with them in the wake of the bin Laden raid when he was director of CIA. And that's going to be a very difficult relationship to repair.
	This isn't just one incident.
	For those who think the relationship really crumbled over the bin Laden raid, it's been crumbling over time.
	During the Bush administration, there were serious issues.
	Pakistan has not been a particularly reliable partner.
	And nor have they provided some help in Afghanistan, but not consistently.
	And so it's a troubled relationship.
	Yeah, all-weathered friends of China.
	And by the way, this woman who's on the CNN, she's reading from a script and she's doing a very poor job of it.
	And Fran seems to be not happy with this script that she's been given.
	Yeah.
	That's funny.
	Because she's stammering and she's saying look a lot.
	She said look twice.
	Look, look, look.
	And so the Pakistan thing is very sketchy.
	I'm not, and I think it's kind of a giveaway.
	There's tells all over this particular little bit.
	But that's what they want you to think anyway.
	I'll have a clip for Thursday's show.
	Speaking of scripts, just so people know how it works.
	Fareed Zakaria.
	I know.
	He's an annoying man.
	He had an author on this morning, which is why I didn't have a clip yet, because we were watching the Breakfast Nook television.
	And he brings this guy on, and this guy's in, you know, number one New York Times bestseller.
	His whole thing is to say, oh, yes, you know, the revolution is real.
	It's people, you know, the young Arabs have tweeter, and that's why it's all taking place.
	And he says, as Farik says, he does his whole intro, blah, blah, blah, good to have you here.
	And the guy replies, yes, it's good to have you here.
	I mean, it's good to be here, because he's reading the script on the other teleprompter.
	And he read Fareek's line.
	That's great.
	And I see this happening more and more, by the way.
	I saw it happen on Jim Cramer's Mad Money, too, with some, like, there was a pharmaceutical guy.
	You know, CEO from a pharmaceutical guy.
	Yeah, it's good to have you here.
	I mean, it's good to be here, Jim.
	They keep on doing it, because they're reading the script.
	Okay, so here's Lucifer.
	Lucifer is out on the road, and she's touring around.
	Her hair, by the way, is a mess.
	She needs to get back to Paris pretty quick.
	Oh, yeah.
	And by the way, I have to say, women who are on the road, it's very difficult, and I do feel for her in that regard, being a hair person.
	It's crappy, so now she's tying it back, and she looks like a guy.
	It's really hard for her to, you know, because she doesn't have Jean-Claude, whoever does her hair in Paris, where she's going to meet all the reporters.
	Let's have a café au lait, and then we'll go to Jean-Pierre and have a hard-on.
	But everything's good in Libya.
	It's A-OK. We're rocking.
	We're right on track.
	In Madrid, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thanked the United States allies, Spain, for its contribution to the NATO-led force in Afghanistan and sent condolences for the Spanish troops who were killed in action there recently.
	Her meeting with Spanish Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez focused on bilateral issues.
	By the way, this Trinidad is also a woman.
	It's like the Spanish version of Clinton.
	It's amazing.
	What's her name?
	Trinidad something or other.
	Hold on, I can rewind it for a second.
	Trinidad...
	Trinidad...
	Don't you know Trinidad Jimenez?
	Now this is a very big deal, and I have another clip that follows this.
	So Gaddafi, and by the way, there are like 100,000 people on the street in support of Gaddafi.
	Of course, you don't see this anywhere except the show notes at 318.nashownotes.com because, of course, the people of Libya are tired of getting Hellfire missiles up their butt all the time for no reason other than to steal the country.
	And so Gaddafi is saying, hey, of course he's dumb, he's playing right into their hands, but saying, hey, if you don't stop that, we're going to like start being terrorists.
	It's not a very smart thing.
	He may not even be saying it for all I know.
	It could be just a lie.
	But anyway, that's what now is propagating.
	That instead of issuing threats, Gaddafi should put the well-being and the interests of his own people first, and he should step down from power.
	And help facilitate a democratic transition that will meet the aspirations of the Libyan people.
	We appreciate Spain's contributions to enforcing the no-fly zone and the arms embargo.
	Is Spain flying with us?
	What are they doing?
	I don't know that they are.
	Maybe they're cheerleading.
	I have no idea.
	Maybe they have pom-poms standing by the sideline.
	Olé!
	Olé!
	By the way, Trinidad Jimenez is a socialist.
	She's the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.
	She's the current Foreign Affairs Minister.
	And you see what I mean?
	She's the same height.
	And they're shaking hands.
	I saw they wanted to, like, hug in front of the press.
	I'm like, let's just shake hands.
	It was weird.
	It was funny, actually.
	The NATO-led mission is on track.
	The pressure on Gaddafi is mounting.
	And the rebels have been gaining strength and momentum.
	We need to see this through.
	And we are in complete agreement that we will.
	Clinton next met the Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
	So the Prime Minister comes in on crutches, and then he bows and kisses her hand.
	In an awkward moment, and then she kisses him on the cheek.
	It was like he was bowing to it.
	The guy broke his ankle or something.
	The socialist government has instituted austerity measures to combat Spain's deep economic crisis with 21% unemployment.
	Clinton said Spain needs time and patience to get the economy back on track.
	Shut up, slave!
	You need patience!
	So, CNN had this report, which I think they screwed up.
	And this is one of the reasons why they're going to have to go into an all-hot-chick, all-bogus-news format pretty soon.
	We're patenting that.
	All-hot-chicks, 24 hours, bogus news.
	Bogus news.
	CNN. So they do this report about CNN, about Gaddafi handing out a million AK-47s.
	By the way, I don't think dictators typically do this.
	I don't think so.
	It's not like the normal thing to do is like, hey, you know, you guys hate me.
	Here's a gun.
	And a lot of the people taking up arms are women.
	Assembling a general-purpose machine gun with an unusual accessory at hand.
	The women of the region have come to Ban Walid to prove their loyalty and to show off their weapons, which they're not afraid to use.
	These are people's sisters, grandmothers and mothers, but in Mahmoud Gaddafi's Libya, they are a fighting force.
	From a young age, girls get military training in schools here.
	But with the war on, Libya's embattled leader has called for fresh volunteers.
	And women of all ages are signing up.
	Like 40-year-old textile worker Fatima Masur.
	I train after work at four, she says.
	I go to train on using weapons.
	I like it and I like the training and defending my country.
	And now I'm training other women to use the guns.
	So why do you think that the CNN is showing this?
	Are they really just not on board with the program?
	I think you're right.
	I think it's just a mistake.
	And then they talk about Gaddafi's bodyguards.
	He has these female kind of hot bodyguards.
	And by the way, one of them took a bullet for him.
	They're not bogus.
	And these women...
	Well, he used to always have that hot Ukrainian nurse with him all the time.
	Remember the memos from WikiLeaks, which we still haven't heard about since.
	No, because Julian Assange...
	He did their job, that's why.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Done.
	Anyway, so I question whether a dictator who was hated and needs to be ousted because he was going to massacre his people, I question whether that kind of guy would give guns to all the women and they would gladly pick them up and go fight against the rebels.
	And I was surprised that this was on CNN. Why doesn't somebody mention this on one of these shows?
	Well, the whole clip is rather long and boring, but then it comes back and no commentary, boom, right to the next thing.
	And it was another Wolf Blitzer thing.
	Maybe they slipped it in to let some people say, hey, think about this, and they just throw it in and they couldn't say anything.
	Well, they definitely didn't.
	It's very subversive.
	So then Lucifer goes to Lithuania, which of course has its own problems with Belarus, because everything's falling apart, because everyone is getting screwed.
	And there she sat with the Lithuanian, I think, prime, maybe it was also the foreign minister, another woman, which is very interesting.
	I see a lot of powerful women today.
	So we got women screwing over countries and women picking up arms to fight back.
	This is a very interesting development that needs further investigation.
	Could be a meme.
	And Lucifer talks about, I mean, when in Lithuania and your hair is shit, Let's talk about Syria.
	It doesn't appear that there's a coherent and consistent message.
	And by the way, listen, if you take our position that this is being set up and the jackals are in and as the Syrian president says, hey, we've got like armed thugs coming in and riling people up.
	This is not us.
	This is thugs.
	And the president of Syria keeps saying it.
	So you can call him a liar, like his dad, and say, the guy's a liar.
	You also could say, well, maybe there's something to that.
	But listen to how she speaks, and if you take our position, which is often contrary to what's being propagated, it's almost like she's just laying it all out.
	Coming from Syria.
	We know what they have to do.
	They must begin a genuine transition to democracy, and allowing one meeting of the opposition in Damascus is not sufficient action toward achieving that goal.
	So I am disheartened by the recent reports of continued violence on the borders and in Now, organized groups and security forces?
	With knives?
	Why does she slip in the knives thing?
	This is new.
	I haven't heard about the knives.
	Something is coming up with knives.
	It is absolutely clear that the Syrian government is running out of time.
	There isn't any question about that.
	No question.
	They're running out of time, no question.
	They are either going to allow a serious political process That will include peaceful protests to take place throughout Syria and engage in a productive dialogue with members of the opposition and civil society.
	Or they're going to continue to see increasingly organized resistance.
	Organized by whom?
	So she's threatening Assad and saying, either you get on board with our program, or you'll see more organized resistance.
	Now you can think of it as protesters slash rebels, because they will go from protesters to rebels, just like Libya.
	Or you can think it's a threat, her saying, hey, you know what, if you don't get on board, we're going to have more of these organized guys we're going to send in.
	We regret the loss of life.
	We're so sorry that we killed some people.
	We regret the violence.
	But this choice is up to the Syrian government.
	And right now, we're looking for action, not words.
	And we haven't seen enough of that.
	You know what I mean?
	If you listen to the way she says it, it's almost like a threat.
	It's a threat.
	I'm beginning to think that when you started the show off, you read from this new document.
	Oh, the counter-terrorism document?
	Yeah, and it seems that historically Syria and Libya, Libya to a lesser extent, although it got the bigger publicity for being a terrorist state, Syria was a major terrorist state.
	Yeah, Damascus, right?
	I remember growing up.
	70s and 80s.
	Damascus, Damascus, yeah.
	Right, and everyone had to leave Syria alone.
	It'd be hands-off.
	You couldn't do what's going on now.
	You couldn't do it because you'd end up with the Empire State Building and have a bomb in the basement.
	I mean, that's how these guys are all over the place.
	They were very dangerous.
	Now, what was Lucifer...
	Let me just finish just one other thought.
	Which is that now that we've set up this anti-terrorist mechanism that is onerous, I mean, it's like, you know, anybody, you know, looks cross-eyed at you, you know, they're at Gitmo.
	I think we've put ourselves in a position where we can now take on Syria and Libya without worrying about them threatening U.S. interests.
	I think they're between Iraq and a hard place.
	Very nice.
	Iraq and a hard place.
	So what was Lucifer Hillary Clinton doing in Lithuania?
	Hairdresser?
	No, no, no, no.
	They don't do good hair there.
	I don't think so, yeah.
	From Bloomberg, I report Secretary of State Lucifer Hillary Clinton and U.S. companies including Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft Corp.
	Are teaming up to teach activists how to protect themselves from official harassment as they use social media to organize protests.
	What?
	Quote, That are used to prevent people from freely communicating, Clinton said yesterday at a training session in Vilnius, Lithuania, for about 80 activists.
	Clinton visited the training session, which her department calls Tech Camp, as part of a three-day trip to Hungary and Lithuania where she attended a meeting of the Community of Democracies, a group of more than 100 nations that work to promote freedom.
	So, we are training, training people.
	You get the 10 points for today's show with that find.
	Beauty.
	It's pretty amazing, isn't it?
	That's astonishing.
	French President Nicolas Sarkozy's technology advisor was there to coach participants.
	Wait a minute.
	The guys who are screwing over Libya?
	His technology advisor was there to coach participants, along with executives from San Francisco-based Twitter, Inc., and Palo Alto, California-based Facebook, Inc., Microsoft, and Luxembourg-based Skype Technologies, SA. This is a beautiful article.
	Thank you, Bloomberg.
	Unbelievable.
	Techno experts being trained.
	Are we so stupid?
	Yeah, trained to cause trouble.
	Yeah.
	It's a cheap way of doing it.
	You want to overturn a government?
	Hey, put these guys in.
	They work for free.
	Meanwhile...
	We have the phony lesbian blog.
	The phony Twitter people.
	Hashtag number sign.
	Hashtag number sign.
	You know what?
	They should train Jay Carney.
	Because he needs some Twitter training.
	Hashtag number sign.
	Alright, let me show you some MKUltra.
	This is how, and then we need to thank some more people.
	This is, let me get it all set up here.
	So did you know that there were 750,000 people on strike in Gitmo Nation East in the Kingdom of Great Britain?
	Actually, I did, but I saw almost no reports on it.
	Zero.
	You saw no reports anywhere, and we know why.
	Because it's one thing to see brown people in the sand shooting AKs into the air with a towel on their head.
	It's like, I don't identify with that.
	But when you see white people walking on the street going like, stop screwing us because the Brits are now getting screwed with austerity measures.
	Work longer, slave.
	And this, by the way, is government workers.
	It's the exact same thing as Greece.
	Exact same thing.
	Government workers, no pensions for you, less money for your pension, work longer, take a pay cut, and shut up!
	And so, here's this report.
	This is actually from Euronews, and interestingly enough, they include a quote from the BBC from Miliband.
	Is it David Miliband?
	He's the opposition.
	He's with Labour.
	Yeah.
	And it's one quote, but then I find on BBC, I find the entire interview, this guy, he doesn't blink, and he's MKUltra.
	Well, first, this is a one-minute clip of the protest and how the slaves are getting screwed.
	Sorry, Game One Nation East Slave, sorry.
	London has filled with thousands of striking teachers and civil servants marching in protest at pension reforms.
	It's day one of a 48-hour strike that's closed or disrupted 85% of schools, emptied government offices, and caused travel delays at airports and ports.
	Government austerity policies have slashed jobs and wages.
	Now pensions are under attack, and that's a sacrifice too far for the strikers.
	There's a bit of anger in the sense that, you know, people that got us into this mess are not suffering at all, and yet, you know, people who are committed to society and communities are.
	I love this quote.
	Well, it's just a bit of anger.
	You know, it's not really quite nice at the moment.
	But pretty soon I'll have to take my pitchfork and shut up your arse!
	The government says the strike is wrong, so does the Labour opposition.
	The biggest public sector union, Unison, is not taking part.
	It wants to see the outcome of negotiations, even if they are reportedly not going well.
	These strikes are wrong at a time when negotiations are still going on.
	But parents and the public have been let down by both sides because the government has acted in a reckless and provocative manner.
	After today's disruption, I urge both sides to put aside the rhetoric, get round the negotiating table, and stop it happening again.
	This strike involves about one in eight public sector workers, but other unions are preparing strike plans should talks break down.
	The government may face a testing summer of industrial action.
	So you heard Miliband there, right?
	And he said, here's his message.
	These strikes are wrong.
	People need to come to the table and negotiate.
	Right?
	So, now this quote, I'm not sure if there's a deal between the BBC and Euronews, but it was from this BBC interview, and I want you, and it's two and a half minutes, but it's worth it.
	If you stick with it, you just go, oh my god, this guy is a robot.
	MKUltra controlled slave non-blinking robot.
	The interviewer asks him, Four questions.
	His answer consistently remains the same.
	These strikes are wrong at a time when negotiations are still going on.
	But parents and the public have been let down by both sides because the government has acted in a reckless and provocative manner.
	After today's disruption, I urge both sides to put aside the rhetoric, get round the negotiating table, and stop it happening again.
	I listened to your speech in Wrexham, and you talked about the Labour Party being a movement.
	A lot of people in that movement are the people who are on strike today, and they'll be looking at you and thinking, well, you're describing these strikes as wrong.
	Why aren't you giving us more leadership as a leader of the Labour movement?
	At a time when negotiations are still going on, I do believe these strikes are wrong.
	And that's why I say both sides should, after today's disruption, get round the negotiating table, put aside the rhetoric, and sort the problem out.
	Because the public and parents have been let down by both sides.
	The government's acted in a reckless and provocative manner.
	I spoke to Francis Morfricaine here, and the tone he was striking was a very conciliatory one.
	Do you think there's a difference between the words they're saying in public and the attitude they're striking in private in these negotiations?
	Are there negotiations in good faith, would you say?
	What I say is that the strikes are wrong when negotiations are still going on, but the government has acted in a reckless and provocative manner in the way it's gone about these issues.
	After today's disruption, I urge both sides to get around the negotiating table, put aside the rhetoric, and stop this kind of thing happening again.
	So this guy has now asked three times.
	This is the exact same answer.
	Wait, let's do it one more time!
	It's a statement you've made publicly and you'll make to me, and this will be broadcast, obviously, but have you spoken privately to any union leaders and expressed your view to them on a personal level, would you say?
	What?
	What I say in public and in private, to everybody involved in this, is get round the negotiating table, put aside the rhetoric, and stop this kind of action happening again.
	These strikes are wrong because negotiations are still going on, but parents and the public have been let down by the government as well, who have acted in a reckless and provocative manner.
	Wait a minute.
	Let's try the personal angle.
	Maybe we can get something out of it.
	Here's a couple of interesting things.
	One, it seems like he's got about six clauses that he jumbles.
	He moves the first part to part two, but it's the same exact words.
	If you take the first speech and you chop it up, and then you move part one over to part three, and then move part four to the beginning, and then you kind of can restructure the answer, but it's the same exact words and the exact answer.
	Why doesn't the interviewer call him out?
	Well, wait a minute.
	He has a new angle.
	I'm going to try the personal approach.
	Maybe I can get something new.
	He should have given up and said, hey, look, you have said the exact same thing three times in a row.
	I'm asking you a direct question.
	I don't want to hear that these strikes are wrong and that people should get around the table and whatever those other four are.
	This interviewer's terrible.
	He's not jumping on this guy for not saying anything except this one rote.
	This guy, this Miliband guy, is bad.
	He's a bad person.
	I'm a parent.
	A lot of people watching this will be parents.
	Has it affected you personally, this action?
	Has it affected your family or friends?
	And what is the net effect of that going to be on parents having to take a day off work?
	This is great.
	I mean, let me try the personal angle.
	Has it affected you as a parent?
	Because you've got kids and, you know, the school teachers are striking.
	What do you have to say about that, David Miliband?
	I think parents up and down the country have been affected by this action.
	And it's wrong at a time when negotiations are still going on.
	Parents have been let down by both sides because the government has acted in a reckless and provocative manner.
	I think that both sides should, after today's disruption, get around the negotiating table, put aside the rhetoric, and stop this kind of thing happening again.
	Please take a look at this clip in the show notes, 318.nashownotes.com.
	You have to look at this clip because he doesn't blink.
	He just said it's wrong and both sides have to come to the negotiating table.
	It's wrong.
	Striking now is wrong.
	It's wrong.
	It's all wrong.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on your agenda in the morning.
	We have a few donors we want to mention for this week's, or for this day's episode, the 3rd of July 2021.
	Thomas Hagen in Irvine, California, $7.3.10.
	I want to wish my wife, Amy Hagen, a happy first anniversary.
	We got married one year ago today on 7-3-10 in the morning.
	Hey!
	Very nice.
	Let's give him a little...
	In the morning.
	Very nice there.
	Congratulations to you two.
	Michael Urseny in Essex Junction, Vermont.
	In the morning, John and Adam, here's a long overdue donation on behalf of my dad's Bob Urseny's birthday on the 5th.
	He propagated the formula months ago to me and I have decided to donate on his behalf.
	So if you would be so kind, give him a de-douching karma double shot.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma now.
	My 11-year-old sister apparently is also a fan of the show.
	I would love to hear the biodiversity jingle if you get the chance.
	Thanks for the awesome show, Mike.
	68.
	68.
	You should be able to take that clip and play it all day.
	Gregory Schoen from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Tracy Lipp, double nickels on the dime.
	Brian Kroll, Barrington, Illinois.
	$50.
	John and Adam want to give this donation in honor of my friend Andrew Bump.
	His birthday is his 4th of July weekend.
	I think he could also use some karma.
	Yes, we can do that.
	You've got karma now.
	Christian Gediga from Bielfeld, Deutschland.
	In the morning, John and Adam.
	Here's another $50 so Adam can buy himself a new box of Soma.
	By the way, I got lasered.
	The doc lasered my back.
	What do you mean, lasered it?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	It's like, first he cracked me, and then he put the stim on.
	You ever had the stim?
	It's like they shoot electricity through your back?
	No.
	It sounds like a quack.
	That's what I keep telling Mickey, but she won't buy it.
	She's like, no, you've got to see this guy.
	He's great.
	And then he's got a laser.
	Did it solve the problem?
	I think the icing is what's helping.
	Icing and then there's 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.
	What about the Soma?
	You're still taking it?
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	Meanwhile, I'd like to ask for a karma shot from my friends Stefan and Nadine, or Nadine, who are getting married on July 19th.
	Thanks a lot.
	Love the show with or without the drugs.
	You've got karma.
	I don't know.
	I think the show where I was drugged was pretty good.
	Yeah, it was.
	Christopher Lawton, I think so too.
	Dartmouth, Massachusetts, $50.
	Crafty Man ate Alan Bean.
	Alan and I found one of the checks, which was ready to be deposited.
	I don't deposit checks about once a month.
	There is one missing check though, so give me another 30 days and if it doesn't show up, put a stop on it.
	Jamie Solve.
	I can't read this because my font set has got his name as S-O-L. I have the same.
	I have Solveriera, maybe?
	It's obviously a bunch of Spanish stuff.
	What is Buzzkill Jr.
	using?
	He's probably using a bigger font set.
	This is probably the right way, except we don't have the right fonts.
	Yeah.
	So maybe Buzzkill can send us something.
	Buzzkill Jr.
	can send us something.
	But anyway, Jamie in San Fernando.
	Jaime.
	It's probably Jaime.
	Jaime.
	Jaime.
	It could be Jaime.
	He's in Spain.
	We need some more Spanish listeners.
	I think...
	No, this is actually a PayPal problem, Buzzkill Jr.
	says.
	PayPal doesn't like Spanish.
	Oh, right.
	This PayPal hates the Spanish.
	Yeah.
	In the morning, got a job back in Madrid, and who better to share the joy with him?
	My brother John and brother Adam, thanks for largely ignoring the overhyped and irrelevant Castanet demonstrations.
	Now Gitmo Castanet is entering an interestingly tense period with the elections in a few months, but I doubt our curse will be of any interest to the show producers.
	I'm not so sure.
	Jaime Solis-Hiera.
	Got it.
	Good.
	At JamesFreeHallowBooks.com salutes Keith McBride in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, supporting the show by buying one of our No Gender Hollow Books.
	By the way, these hollow books are fantastic.
	And he would like you to play In the Morning in Chinese.
	Paul Elvis in Toronto, Ontario, $50 donation, addition to the podcast license.
	Please, can you give us some karma for our PaulTheBookGuy.com podcast?
	You've got karma.
	PaulTheBookGuy.com is about books, audio books, audio dramas, and other podcasts.
	He has the One Day in Gitmo Nation, and that's going to be a multi-part audio series on the No Agenda Stream.
	Okay, great.
	I'm almost halfway to knighthood and need one of those groovy rings so I can hit people in the mouth.
	And finally, Robin Dearden in Hoboken, New Jersey with $50.
	And we want to thank these folks and everybody in between.
	Also, did you get the extra birthday for the one common donor that's been sending us money all along?
	You can use the birthday call-outs in your email.
	No.
	No.
	I mean, the way we're supposed to do this is you send it to Buzzkill Jr.
	He did, and he sent it to us.
	It says, no agenda, 318 optional IRC birthday.
	He put it in as a question to us whether we should add him.
	Was that in the email?
	Yeah, it's in an email.
	The title is NA318 optional IRC birthday.
	Anyway, it's Jeremy Bray.
	Just add him to the list.
	He's also PCNerd37.
	Oh, PCNerd.
	Okay.
	Jeremy Bray, PCNerd37.
	Okay, got it.
	And I want to remind people to go to noagendashow.com, noagendanation.com.
	There's also a store there.
	You should check that out.
	And you can find links to the donation button.
	button. Also, the direct link would be dvorak.org slash N-A, or as the jingle would have it, dvorak.org slash N-A And we want to thank everybody.
	Thank you.
	I thought I had a clip here somewhere that was going to be relevant to our donation segment, but I don't think I can find it.
	Crap.
	Sorry about that.
	Well, anyway.
	It's relevant on Thursday.
	Yes, relevant on Thursday.
	And as John just said, this program does not take money from corporations.
	We have no advertisers or underwriters or sponsors, whatever you want to call it, like our NPR, our National Treasure, or PBS, breaking every 15 minutes now.
	Therefore, we can say whatever we want.
	We can call out whoever we want as a dick.
	Not a problem.
	Nobody's going to be on the phone telling us to apologize profusely for what we said because it was so mean.
	I mean, we will apologize on situations that we deem necessary or apologies is warranted.
	But we don't do it because somebody calls us and says you'll be fired if you don't apologize.
	And then they fire you anyway.
	Exactly.
	Like that douche.
	From Time.
	Yeah, totally.
	The guy should have stood up for himself.
	Nah, he's a wussy, weenie boy.
	A little pit pussy is what he is.
	And we'd also like to say thank you to all of the artists who always provide their undying support with the No Agenda show album art.
	Sometimes it's just so much we have to keep stuff as evergreens.
	And also your CSS designs are highly appreciated.
	We say happy birthday to Bob Ersini.
	His birthday is on the 5th.
	Happy birthday from your son, Michael.
	And Brian Kral says happy birthday to his friend, Andrew Bump.
	He will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow.
	And as we just discussed, Jeremy Bray, PCNerd37.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	It's his birthday!
	And we're very happy that we can pull out the blades once again.
	John, if you happen to have your...
	There you go.
	James Briscoe, please step forward, extend your ring finger.
	Not that one.
	Yes, that one.
	Due to your support to the No Agenda Podcast Show and extend in the amount of at least $1,000, we are very proud to welcome you to a select group of producers.
	You can now proudly call yourself Sir James Briscoe, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable, and you get the white gold ring filled with tungsten to hit him in the mouth and leave a lasting impression.
	Please join us.
	Have some hookers and blows.
	Chardonnay rent boys.
	Whatever you choose.
	And I got a brand new picture at rings.nashownotes.com that looks really beautiful.
	These rings are so nice.
	And it lasts.
	And my finger is not turning black or anything like that.
	I was worried about that.
	That can happen sometimes with inferior products.
	Yeah, with brass rings it's a real problem.
	Yeah, but it's a good product.
	And Mickey keeps wearing her.
	She actually likes it as a style statement.
	And that's saying a lot.
	It's an interesting idea.
	Maybe it's more appropriate for women.
	Interesting.
	As a style statement.
	Well, she's wearing it as a style statement.
	Women are wearing big watches now, too.
	Have you noticed this?
	That's what Lucifer's wearing, the big men's Rolex.
	Have you seen that?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the big one.
	Yeah, I think that's the $20,000 Rolex.
	I feel so sorry for.
	I want to mention something based on the payments thing.
	There's a number of our donors, producers, listeners who have, and I think most banks will do this, have gone to the bank.
	And they've set up a payment program so they don't go through PayPal.
	And we get these automatic checks.
	The Bank of America does a bill processing payment center in Sioux Falls sends these checks out.
	And you get this check from the bank.
	Payelectronic.com is another thing that apparently does this.
	And so when I go to the box, there's a bunch.
	And I'm telling you, I get one from Michigan that's five dollars.
	I think it costs more to mail the check, but it's from the credit union.
	And it comes routinely once a month, it shows up, and it makes it very easy for people so they don't have to deal with PayPal or feeling obliged to write a check and mail it themselves.
	It's all done by the bank.
	Well, that's interesting.
	Yeah, check with your bank to see if this is doable.
	Well, any way you can support us, it's really appreciated.
	And I want to say a big shout-out to Alexandre.
	Who has been just on fire creating CSS templates, and hopefully he or someone else can fix the podcast licenses, because I hate that people have their license and it just doesn't look right.
	It's got to be official with our signature and everything, and somehow I screwed that up.
	Well, hey, John, I think it's time once again.
	John's gonna harm the Sunday sound.
	That's right, everybody.
	On Sunday, John hums the Sunday Times as he deconstructs the paper of record of the United States of Vietnam.
	I have it right here, as you can hear.
	He's got the paper, and he's going to tell you...
	I'd just like to look at the front page, because there's a new meme afoot.
	And I've noticed there's huge, huge pieces in the front page of the New York Times, and it carries inside.
	And inside, on page 12, page 12 and 13 are complete.
	The entire page is filled with this particular story.
	And I think we touched on this in a show or two ago, and I've realized that this is a major meme.
	The New York Times is not triggering it.
	It's being triggered by someone else, but it is the following.
	I just read the headline.
	The top is a head and a subhead.
	Mixing guns and mental illness.
	Oh, a Jared Loeffner throwback.
	Very nice.
	And as more states restore rights, processes often haphazard, and they show up, the inside spread on page 12, it shows all these insane, you know, kind of, they're not like drooling insane type, they just look like people that are slightly about to kill you.
	Well, I'm going to the online version.
	I want to see if they have the same picture.
	They got a bunch of these people.
	I see this guy in the car.
	Yeah, the guy in the car, but just the head shots.
	Joshua St.
	Clair just had his gun rights restored after a year.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Oh, he looks like Loughner with the shaven head.
	Yeah.
	Oh, my goodness.
	So we have this meme.
	So I was thinking about this new meme about, oh, we've got to have more gun control because nut balls are...
	So here's the interesting one.
	This story crops up and it gets played big.
	And you've heard it, I've heard it, I didn't think about it as part of this structure, but I now realize that it is.
	John Lennon was a closet Reaganite.
	Yeah, I saw this.
	John Lennon was a closet Reaganite.
	Who killed John Lennon?
	A mentally ill person.
	Nutball.
	So you right-wingers who don't have any...
	You've got the same rationale as us left-wingers to do something about nutballs because John Lennon, you know you liked him.
	He was a Reaganite and he was killed by a mentally ill person.
	We've got to do something about it.
	The John Lennon story is right in the wheelhouse.
	I'll kick it up one notch.
	I'll kick it up one notch.
	So what you're saying is all of the right-wing nutjobs who love our Second Amendment and want everyone to continue to have the right to bear arms, they are now being threatened by the left-wing nutjobs who are saying, hey, John Lennon was a right-wing nutjob and he got killed by a crazy guy with a gun, right?
	Yeah.
	Kick it up one notch.
	Hey, we're going to kill you.
	That's what I think they're saying.
	Yeah.
	Hey, I'm going to shoot you.
	It's possible.
	I like that.
	It's like, let's just cut to the chase.
	We're going to shoot you.
	Because we're crazy.
	They're all crazy.
	They're all nuts.
	So this is just another.
	We talk about this every so often.
	It is tack on the Second Amendment because we really don't want to arm our own public.
	Even though...
	I don't know.
	I mean, if you go back just about 100 years, these guys, you could have a cannon.
	And, of course, law enforcement would back off back then.
	Now they would come in with a SWAT team and kill you anyway, so you can't even be armed enough.
	Interesting comment from the chat room.
	John Lennon was killed in 1980.
	that was before Reagan was inaugurated.
	Was John Lennon killed in 1980?
	I never even thought of that angle.
	Let me just check.
	So the whole thing, the Reaganite thing, was just bull crap?
	Let me see.
	You know what?
	Well, there's only one thing we can do.
	Yeah, December 8th, 1980.
	Oh my God.
	BNT, good call.
	Wow, we should have caught that one ourselves.
	I feel bad.
	Yeah, well, I was 12.
	So, you should have caught it.
	I mean, you're the one.
	Well, I know, but I don't remember when John Lennon was killed.
	So, wait a minute.
	This is crazy.
	I need to become a Reaganite.
	That's what I like.
	When was Reagan inaugurated?
	Wasn't it in 84?
	81.
	81?
	So, he was a Reaganite.
	Who was president before?
	Carter.
	Carter.
	Wow.
	So back to my theory, we're going to kill you.
	That's what it is.
	Here's this bogus story about him being a Reaganite.
	Wow, who wrote that?
	Was it the New York Times who wrote that as well?
	It was all over the place.
	It was a major meme.
	I know, but was it the New York Times who wrote it?
	I don't know if it was.
	This is interesting.
	Oh, I like this.
	Do we have the best audience or what?
	That's what we do.
	We have a conversation with our audience.
	Yeah.
	We don't ignore these.
	Anyway, back to the New York Times front page, just to read off a few other things going on.
	They have the crumbled case adds to doubts on prosecutor.
	They're going after Cyrus Vance at the New York Times, so they're kind of behind the attack.
	Mm-hmm.
	By the way, can I just interrupt your flow for a second?
	I think I found the true reason behind this whole Dominique Strauss-Kahn IMF thing.
	Alright.
	I mean, whenever we have news, what is it usually to do?
	Cover up something else.
	No, well, that and promote a new movie.
	Oh yeah, there's always a new movie.
	Well, here it is.
	An hour ago, a bomb blew up the Kremlin.
	The President has initiated Ghost Protocol.
	The entire IMF has been disavowed.
	Now I've been ordered to take you to Washington, where they will hang the Kremlin bombing on you and your team, unless you were to escape after assaulting Brandt and me.
	But if anyone of your team is caught, Be branded terrorists out to incite global nuclear war.
	There you go.
	That's Tom Cruise, the new Mission Impossible movie.
	The IMF is responsible for blowing up the Kremlin.
	So, congratulate Tom.
	Tom, good work.
	It's just like this show that we do, it's a ridiculous show.
	This stuff just keeps coming up over and over again.
	It's unbelievable.
	That's going to be probably a good movie.
	It's going to be a hit, of course.
	They've got it all set up.
	IMF, yeah, I heard about that.
	Wasn't there something with the IMF? Yeah, let's go to that new Tom Cruise movie.
	Cool.
	So, nothing else really.
	Taking lead, Iraqis.
	Oh, this is a good one.
	This is the only other good front page story.
	The rest of them are kind of fluffy.
	But this is a good one.
	Because we've heard this meme creeping up on us.
	I think we played some clips from the last couple of shows.
	But here's the headline.
	Taking lead, the Iraqis hope U.S. commandos stay.
	Oh, please stay.
	Please stay.
	Don't leave us.
	Halliburton?
	Blackwater?
	Please don't leave.
	What a crock!
	That's great.
	Alright, I'm closing the paper.
	John's gonna hum the Sunday sign.
	Ah, yes, John.
	Well, I hate to throw it at you, but I got some actual video now from the W.M. Keck Observatory.
	A Stargate has opened up over the Hawaiian Islands.
	And you can see it on the video.
	And you know what's going to come out?
	Fish?
	Fish?
	No, it's in the sky.
	This is not in the water like the Gulf of Aiden.
	Oh, they're going to release some CO2. Yeah, there's a couple of...
	You can see that video.
	I got it in the show notes, 318.nashownotes.com.
	They're very interesting.
	Well, there's another meme going around, which I've noticed.
	There was an article in the Times the other day.
	And by the way, it's the Saturday Times that seems to have most of the hidden messages.
	And I think that's why my paper was stolen a couple weeks ago because there's something they didn't want me to know about.
	We'll just play a little of that game for a minute.
	Anyway, there's a bunch of these stories about how airplanes are punching holes.
	Oh, yeah, and it's causing it to snow.
	It's causing it to snow and it's creating these weird anomalies in the sky.
	Wait a minute.
	These airplanes have been around for a while.
	Why is this just happening now?
	Because they are trying to cover up the HAARP waves that are actually creating these holes.
	Wasn't it like Popular Science or something who came out with it?
	Oh, yeah.
	I've been flying.
	I've flown jets.
	I've flown props.
	I've flown turboprops.
	First of all, you don't fly vertically.
	Pow!
	I just popped up like I'm going like a rocket to create this hole and then it starts snowing.
	It's unbelievable.
	This is the biggest lie.
	Airmen around the world are guffawing at this.
	Like, really?
	That's what makes it snow?
	No.
	It's cover-up.
	It's cover-up of HAARP. Alright, so what's the deal with the Stargate?
	Oh, you can see it on the video.
	It's like this big circle and just, whew, it expands.
	It's crazy.
	It's in the show notes.
	And what's the point of it?
	For the fish.
	Okay, I can see that.
	We need more fish.
	We need more fish.
	Tuna.
	So if you are a greenie in Germany, and of course we're against all things oil, How do you bring the message home?
	How do you really say, you know, we've got to stop our obsession with oil?
	What is the one thing you could think of that would really get people's attention?
	Bono?
	Close.
	Sexual health as a consumer protection issue.
	Many dildos and other sex toys like vibrators and anal plugs contain high levels of flatlates.
	Phthalates.
	Yeah.
	And other carcinogenic substances and toxic materials according to Der Spiegel.
	So the government...
	Please.
	Yeah.
	How do you pronounce it?
	Phthalates?
	Phthalates.
	Phthalates are a class of plasticizers.
	Substances are added to plastic to increase its flexibility and durability.
	But some of these substances were suspected of causing disturbances to hormone balances.
	Yeah.
	Apparently, if you put a butt plug in your rectum, you become bicurious.
	Is that what you're doing?
	Also, it's linked to infertility, diabetes, and obesity.
	Oh, please.
	Hey, honey, get that out of there.
	I don't want to be fat.
	The Green Ministers of Parliament said in there...
	I suppose if you leave it in there and never take a crap, you'll probably gain weight.
	This is crazy!
	Dildos made of wood?
	The Green Party!
	The Green Party's...
	No wonder they're considered...
	I just want to see the PR company who came up with this one.
	Hello!
	Hello!
	We have a very good idea for the Green Party.
	Look, we don't have a big budget, but we think we can get a lot of traction if we tell people that their dildos are causing them diabetes.
	Great idea, Franz!
	This is very good.
	Let us call the Spiegel and get an article.
	Crazy, huh?
	That's a good one.
	That's a great catch.
	I want to say hi to Daniel Wheaton.
	Now, Daniel, of course, is...
	Remember the kid who did the essay?
	And with all the no-agenda memes?
	With all the memes in it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So, he has been accepted to a number of universities...
	Including the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
	And he received an email that he shared with us and I would like to share with our listeners.
	Congratulations, Daniel, on your acceptance to University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
	As you begin your academic career, we at the Great Plains National Security Education Consortium would like to encourage you to start thinking about a professional career in intelligence after you graduate.
	By intelligence, we mean collecting, analyzing, and presenting critical national security information to the president and other parts of the executive branch and military.
	Sixteen government agencies provide such intelligence and they employ thousands of people in some of the most interesting and important jobs you can imagine.
	The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has a special program that finds high-achieving students like you, Daniel, and helps prepare them for a career of public service in the intelligence community.
	And it just goes on from there.
	They're recruiting kids.
	So the college is selling their freshman acceptance.
	Hello, everybody!
	Selling their freshman lists.
	What you're saying is the University of Nebraska and other schools, let's be clear, are selling the information to our government, intelligence agencies.
	Here's some profiles of some kids you might be interested in.
	Yeah, and I said, Daniel, go for it!
	You've got to enroll in this class!
	I would.
	I would, too.
	I know he's going to do it.
	Why not?
	It would be great.
	The Intelligence Community Scholar Program.
	A special career mentoring opportunity that helps you focus your academics on national security and intelligence.
	Introduces you to the intelligence...
	If they do their job right, he'll then become a mole spying on us.
	I just gotta give you a little injection, kid, that won't hurt.
	So the douchebag who sent that email is markwarburton.com.
	From the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Great Plains National Security Education Consortium.
	I find that pretty disturbing that we're doing that.
	My favorite portion of the show is often exposing the pharmaceutical companies.
	And what have we been saying continuously about what is the biggest problem they have is that all their patents are expiring.
	That's why they're coming up with new great bonanza revenue streams such as vaccines, which aren't really vaccines that you don't really need because you're not sick, but you won't get addicted to smoking or something like that.
	And this is a multi-billion dollar bonanza.
	Right, and because of the government, our great government, they've made it so these people are not subject to being sued if these vaccines kill you.
	Right.
	So CBS has a story, and it's kind of interesting because they focus on how evil the pharmaceutical companies are, but really it's Congress who are just kowtowing to one company, but they kind of go past the fact of what's really happening.
	That's an interesting clip.
	The amendment is adopted.
	Before leaving town for 10 days last week, the House of Representatives found time to pass an amendment designed to help a single drug company.
	It enjoys broad bipartisan support.
	The amendment ensures that the Medicines Company of Parsippany, New Jersey, keeps control of the patent for its blood thinning drug Angiomax, fending off competition from generic drugs at a potential profit of up to a billion dollars.
	This is a special fix for one company.
	Special fixes are par for the course in Congress, which gave breaks to NASCAR track owners and rum distillers in the most recent tax bill.
	But the CBS News poll shows that's exactly what Americans have come to expect, with a full three quarters of respondents saying large corporations have too much influence in American politics.
	I think that's pretty healthy.
	The findings didn't trouble Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
	If you're looking for times when Americans were in love with Congress, they're few and far between.
	Ryan Alexander runs Taxpayers for Common Sense, a government watchdog.
	That's his defense?
	Hey, they don't like us anyway, so fuck them.
	It's a hit piece on Republicans, is what this is.
	And the whole thing is, what is not being discussed here is the fact that Congress is now passing laws to extend patents for drugs that should be going into the generic status.
	That's really what's happening here.
	That's the story.
	Yeah, but they don't really expose that part.
	This is just to get you comfortable with the idea that it's happening, but let's blame someone else.
	Well, blame the Republicans.
	Right.
	Yeah, why not?
	I want to thank producer Patrick Roddy, who did a great job on...
	So he picked up this article from the...
	Oh, you're going to hate these guys.
	It's the New Scientist.
	How do you regard NewScientist.com?
	When I was in college, I used to love the magazine.
	It tends to be a little sensational, and it has political agenda, which changes over the years, so you never know where they're coming from at any given point in their history.
	So they have a piece written by Dominic Dyer.
	And here's what he says.
	The recent fatal E. coli outbreak centered on Germany has focused attention on the validity of claims that organic food is healthier and safer.
	The outbreak has been traced to bean sprouts grown on an organic farm in Bienenbutel, northern Germany.
	As new scientists went to press, 35 people had died in the outbreak and thousands more were made ill.
	As a result, concern is growing over standards of microbiological food safety.
	And he goes on to say that what we really should do is irradiate organic food just to make sure it's safe.
	So who is Dominic Dyer that writes this in The New Scientist?
	He is the CEO of the Crop Protection Association.
	Who is a member of the Crop Protection Association?
	I don't even answer it.
	BASF, Bayer Crop Science, Bayer Garden, Belkin Crop Protection, Sertis Europe, Doff Portland, Dow Chemical, DuPont UK, Fine Agrochemicals, Heatland, and of course, our friends.
	You got it.
	All those companies are interested in the betterment of our health.
	And a new scientist is allowing this douchebag to say organic farming must ditch its irrational mistrust of science or risk losing its reputation.
	There's no mistrust of science.
	This is the same thing that...
	The global warmest kept pushing.
	Oh, these people, you don't believe in global warming, you don't believe in evolution.
	I mean, it's bullcrap.
	I mean, to use the broad brush to paint people with this sort of scandalous, I don't know, moniker, whatever you want to call it, advertising.
	It's annoying.
	Well, it's beyond annoying.
	It's exactly what we predicted would happen.
	Is it taking this to say, and it's still, the science is not exactly still in if this really, I mean, now it's cropping up in Egypt.
	It was, you know, from Egypt.
	It's like, it could be a complete lie.
	We know it was manufactured, this E. coli.
	And now it's being used by new scientists, propagated by new scientists and this fine organization.
	What do they call it again?
	You've got to look out for these guys.
	The Crop Protection Association being used to...
	Hey, you've got the Crop Protection Association coming over.
	The Crop Protection, yeah, we've got a little bit of...
	We've got to protect you.
	You want your crop protected?
	We've got to talk some stuff here, you know?
	Title 18, subsection 607 of U.S. law, law of the land.
	John, are you familiar with that?
	Of course not.
	Why not?
	You should know this.
	I'll tell you, President Obama is also not familiar with this.
	Title 18, subsection 607 states, it is unlawful for the President to, quote, solicit or receive a donation of money or other thing of value in connection with a federal, state, or local election while in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties.
	That means that this video, where he invites you to participate in his sweepstakes...
	Which was shot in the White House is breaking the law.
	Hi, everybody.
	Hey, everybody.
	I've got a pretty big announcement about that contest the campaign is running where you can join me for dinner.
	We're setting another place at the table for Joe Biden.
	He wants to join us.
	So this isn't so much dinner with Barack anymore as it is dinner with Barack and Joe.
	And to use one of his favorite expressions, that's a big deal.
	We're both really looking forward to it.
	Hope to see you soon.
	I think he said that's a big fucking deal.
	Anyway, so he records this in the White House and therefore breaks the law.
	Yeah, that's against the law.
	Yeah.
	So who's going to prosecute this offense?
	Cyrus Vance, Jr.
	No one's going to say anything.
	No.
	But, you know...
	We might as well just admit it.
	We're heading toward a monarchy.
	And I intend to spend the next couple of years proving it.
	I do want to play one clip that relates back to our EU, Germany, France.
	There's a guy that showed up on Charlie Rose.
	Oh, you mean this guy?
	Tell me about this sexuality.
	It's in your DNA. That guy, that guy.
	Yeah, tell me about your sexuality.
	The guy's name is Timothy Gorton Ash.
	He's British.
	And he has a book out called Facts of Subversive.
	And he has a very good take on the EU and where it's headed.
	And then he also mentions France.
	It's just, it's a little long.
	The clip's I think a minute and a half, two minutes.
	But it really gives a good background for people to understand what, you know, why the EU's falling apart and why it's going to continue to fall apart.
	Because Germany essentially will not, you know, Germany always wanted to take over Europe, right?
	Mm-hmm.
	Now they actually have the opportunity to do it.
	But they realize it's going to cost them too much money.
	Well, unless they kill everyone with E. coli.
	Or they can kill everyone with E. coli or enslave them and make them work for nothing, which is what they'd rather do, because that seems to be more of the style.
	And so his thesis is they're kind of blowing it, because they just really don't want to deal anymore with the problems.
	And he doesn't say that the end is near, but I think...
	Well, we on our show here say the end is near, but near is relative.
	So let's see what he has to say.
	Basically, the markets are not convinced that Germany is prepared to save this thing.
	Germany is the key to the whole thing.
	It is Germany's economics.
	It's Europe's economic superpower.
	It's Europe's central power, and they are not convinced that Germany is prepared to do what it takes to save it.
	If you had Germany and the European Central Bank together saying, this is what we're going to do, whatever it is in technical terms, this is about perceptions, about, so to speak, economic shock and all, then you would have saved it.
	Where do you think Angela Merkel is on this today?
	She is also in many ways the key, personally the key to this crisis.
	She has been a brilliant party politician.
	She's magnificent at winning elections.
	But in this crisis she's been following German public opinion rather than leading it.
	And German public opinion says We have been bankrolling the European Union for far too long.
	We are not going to bail out these indigent Greeks.
	We're not going to work till age 70 so the Greeks can retire at 58.
	What role does Sarkozy play?
	Well, it's very interesting.
	Because, you know, I'm quite apart from the entertainment value, which he always has.
	Because, as you know, historically in the European project, there was the German engine...
	And the French driver.
	Right.
	And what's happened now is that the German engine has, so to speak, got up into the driver's seat, and actually Sarkozy and the French are running along behind, trying to keep the show on the road and trying to influence it.
	Yeah, he does provide entertainment value.
	Yeah, he does.
	By the way, do you hear that, John?
	That's the last donation we're getting from Gitmo Nation Deutschland after that.
	Yeah.
	That's a penny.
	I think the listeners from Gittin, Bonasian, Deutschland, they know what's going on.
	Our donors from Deutschland, they're probably aware more than we are of what the problem is over there.
	I don't think they're voting for Merkel.
	Did you see what happened to Sarkozy?
	He got grabbed.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's a big deal.
	Yeah.
	Well, did you see the video?
	No, I did not see the video.
	Yeah, you see this hand come out of the rope line and grab the guy and just pull him over.
	It's funny because his security...
	Squirrel!
	It's not at all like our president's security.
	That guy would have been dead.
	Oh yeah, you've been shot in the head.
	A bunch of guys jumping around.
	What's his name over in Italy?
	Yeah, they threw a statue at his head.
	Oh crap, that hurt.
	Bloody and everything.
	These Europeans are in trouble.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I feel bad.
	But, you know, it's not like we're not in trouble.
	No, we're in trouble too, but...
	Hey, so the TSA hit back blogger Bob.
	Did you see that?
	No.
	TSA cancer cluster myth buster.
	Oh.
	And, uh, fact!
	Wait, wait, myth.
	Myth.
	There was a TSA employee cancer cluster at the Boston Logan International Airport related to the back scatter body scanners.
	Fact.
	There is no relationship between any cancer diagnosis in Boston and the technology in the airport.
	In fact, there were no body scanners at Boston Airport when the complaints were filed.
	Thank you, Blogger Bob.
	Common questions.
	Why aren't your officers permitted to wear dosimeters?
	Well, there's a really good reason for this, says Blogger Bob.
	The emissions from our x-ray technology are well below the requirements that will require their routine usage.
	To help reassure passengers and employees that the technology is safe, however, health physicists with the U.S. Army have been conducting area dosimeter surveys at multiple airports nationwide.
	I feel safe now.
	So what he's saying is, so as not to worry...
	The human resources being radiated, like organic bean sprouts, that's why they can't wear dosimeters.
	How does that sound?
	The logic is odd.
	Blogger Bob.
	Well, at least he's got a job.
	Three more quick stories.
	Two more, actually.
	That Monaco guy got married.
	Prince, what's his name?
	I don't know.
	And it was kind of weird, you know, there have been so many stories about him.
	Prince Albert.
	In a can?
	So the woman, Charlene, tried to run away, and they stopped her at Nice Airport, confiscated her passport, and said, get back here.
	Like Katie Holmes.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I'm telling you.
	But, you know, there's been supermodels who are completely messed up.
	They say, you know, they use me as a sex slave.
	That whole Monaco thing, stay away from it.
	There's bad news over there.
	But it's so funny.
	It's like, yeah, she tried to run away and then the French press is saying, they stopped at the airport, took away her passport, said, get back there!
	Do you want to marry the prince?
	Really?
	Yeah.
	That's a wild story.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, let me see if there's anything...
	Well, there's all kinds of weird stuff about...
	He has illegitimate children.
	You know, there's all kinds...
	The whole family, of course, is messed up.
	And it was the Karen Mulder.
	She's actually reached out to me.
	She sent me an email, but I didn't reply because I felt very uncomfortable.
	She went on television when she was in her early 30s.
	She claimed that she and other girls had been used as sex slaves by senior figures in the police and French government, particularly in Monaco.
	She told the host of Tout le monde a parler, Thierry Ardisson.
	Various people, including top executives at her former agency, Elite Models, and Prince Albert of Monaco, had tried to rape her.
	And of course, people went, now you're just crazy.
	Shut up, you're dumb, you're nuts.
	Never taken seriously.
	And she actually, when we started this show a couple years ago, she reached out to me and said, this show is perfect to expose this.
	And I'm like, I don't want to get killed.
	It's a perfect thing to get killed over.
	Yeah, I'm okay.
	I don't mind reading reports from the news.
	I don't want to get killed.
	And this thing kind of slipped through.
	Google voice search is now on your...
	Have you noticed this?
	This is not good.
	What, that Google voice search doesn't work or what?
	No, if you go to google.com, it now has a little microphone.
	Oh, it does?
	Online?
	Yeah.
	Oh, so it's turning on the mic.
	Uh-huh.
	So if you go to Google...
	Let me see if I can...
	I'm going to do something now.
	Well, I'm at Google.
	I don't see any mic.
	If you go to Google.com...
	Yeah, I'm at Google.com.
	You see the search box?
	Don't you see a little microphone there on the right?
	I got it.
	I got nothing.
	I got a little search box.
	I don't.
	A little microphone.
	Maybe it's just for you Mac users.
	Hmm.
	Oh, wait.
	I'm using Chrome, of course.
	Chrome!
	Yeah.
	By the way, this computer in the studio, I've never...
	I have no...
	On the actual computer that runs the show, I have the web browser.
	I've never set anything else up because I never wanted to screw it up.
	I've never accepted anything.
	Never said, yes, install something.
	And now there's a little microphone in this box.
	So they are listening to me.
	Whenever they want.
	They just go ahead and turn it on.
	Hmm.
	So, and I predicted this, and they're listening to what you have on the TV, and they're giving you ads, but, you know, who knows what else they're doing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I don't like it.
	No.
	So there's a good op-ed in the New York Times, I think it was on Thursday, maybe it was Wednesday, whatever, advertising.
	Anyway, it was about this guy who was Ernest Hemingway's buddy.
	There's a lot of Hemingway memes going around, including a huge special on C-SPAN. And the thing was, apparently Hemingway in his last days was freaked.
	The FBI was following him around and they were in cars and they had his house bugged and his phones bugged and he was getting depressed about it and then he killed himself.
	Is he the father of Muriel Hemingway?
	Yeah.
	Well, actually, I think she may be a daughter of a sister or something.
	Whatever the case, it's not important.
	But the Hemingways, you know, Ernest Hemingway, the great novelist.
	Oh, that guy, the old man in the sea.
	That guy.
	That guy.
	So anyway, so he kills himself.
	This guy who's writing the op-ed says, you know, I always thought, well, the poor guy was getting paranoid.
	He was going crazy.
	And then apparently they did one of those searches of the public records with the Freedom of Information Act and it turns out that he was being followed by the FBI and his phones are bugged and all the things.
	It was absolutely true.
	Yeah, it was all true.
	Wow.
	He got a hard-on for him because he lived in Cuba for so long.
	He was afraid that for some reason, you know, that maybe Hemingway is going to propagandize the American public in some way, shape, or form.
	And meanwhile, of course, I was thinking about this, and it's like, nowadays, when the FBI is listening in on a call or anything, you just assume they're listening in on everything.
	I don't think Hemingway, in today's market, as it were, would get freaky because it would be assumed that he was being followed and all the rest of it.
	That's how bad things have gotten.
	How did he kill himself?
	Shotgun.
	Oh, really?
	You sure he wasn't in the hot tub?
	There was no evidence of any wrongdoing.
	It's not easy to kill yourself with a shotgun.
	You've got to do it with your toe.
	Is it actually...
	No, that's not true.
	I don't know if you've ever held a shotgun.
	Yeah, I have a shotgun.
	You could easily stick the shotgun in your mouth and reach down with your thumb and push the trigger.
	You don't need your toe.
	The thing's not a blunderbuss.
	It's not a very elegant way of doing it.
	No, but it's thorough.
	Yeah.
	He put it in his mouth and shot it?
	Is that the deal?
	Yeah.
	So he was almost killed in a plane crash in Africa...
	So he was in bad health.
	In 1959, I moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he committed suicide.
	Come on, book of knowledge.
	Really?
	Shotgun?
	Let me see if...
	Shotgun.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, three months later, Mary found Henry holding a shotgun one morning.
	She called Dr.
	Saviez, who sedated him.
	Uh-huh.
	Uh-huh.
	And had him admitted to the Sun Valley Hospital, there was a return to the Mayo Clinic for more shock treatments.
	Oh, dude, please, this is a total FBI hit!
	Well, it could be.
	I'm not going to say it's not a possibility.
	We should have been doing this show in 1959.
	He was released in late June, arrived home in Ketchum.
	He apparently had three shock treatments.
	Hemingway quite deliberately shot himself with his favorite shotgun.
	He unlocked the gun cabinet, went to the front entrance of their Ketchum home, pushed two shells into the 12-gauge boss shotgun, put the end of the barrel into his mouth, and pulled the trigger and blew out his brains.
	Twice.
	Wow.
	Hmm.
	So anyway, the writer of the op-ed felt bad about the fact that he doubted him.
	Well, happy 4th of July, everybody.
	That's a nice little...
	Just a stirring...
	Beautiful.
	Independence Day story.
	Thanks for the follow-up.
	Yeah.
	Hey, everybody.
	That's lovely.
	I do have an end-of-show clip.
	I can take us even lower than that, John.
	I can bring us down even lower.
	This is Peter King.
	He is a congressman, I believe, or senator.
	Is he congressman?
	I believe he is a congressman.
	So he's on the Homeland Security Committee.
	Yeah, he's doing all these hearings about Muslims, you know, hiding behind a bed.
	Now, what he's doing is he's getting more money for the shills who are running all this bullcrap.
	That's what he's doing.
	I'm sure.
	How do we do that?
	Well, first we put some stupid Nigerian schmuck onto a plane with the wrong boarding pass, and then go, How could that happen?!
	It's amazing!
	How could it happen?
	Not only did he get through TSA security, when they shine the flashlight on your ticket and on your ID, but then he got on the plane with the wrong boarding pass for the flight from the previous day.
	How can that happen?
	Well, it doesn't happen unless it's all set up.
	But what should we do about it?
	Oh, I think we need more training and more material.
	And by the way...
	They're out to get us.
	In your mind, if it is what we are now told it is, if all the facts as we know them bear out, what needs to happen?
	Hey, hey, hey, hey!
	What?
	end of show clip yeah but we got to talk about it okay because you'll can you'll be laughing and i if we just play it at the end of the show then all the laughter will be gone okay and i i would believe that the tsa has to implement new training programs have regimens have uh much more uh inspections going on having uh your people from the uh uh administration monitoring what's happening let these employees yeah yeah yeah More!
	Know that they really are being watched.
	I mean, this is, uh, this can't be allowed to happen.
	This is, we're talking about life and death here.
	We're not talking about somebody having a cup of coffee.
	Life and death.
	Not a cup of coffee.
	This is life and death here.
	No one's looking.
	We're talking about you could have a plane full of people getting killed because a person makes such an obvious mistake.
	Listen, there's always going to be mistakes made, and you could have a forged ID, and somehow the screener may miss it, but you have an obvious one of a wrong name, wrong date, wrong boarding pass, and that's not picked up.
	That's a terrible sign.
	A terrible sign of psyops.
	It encourages the enemy.
	It's not reassuring to the American people.
	And part of the way our system works, is expected to work, is that it's a deterrent to the enemy.
	They have to believe that it's impossible to break through it.
	They see something like this, it encourages the enemy to try.
	Let me ask you a broader picture as we head into this July 4th.
	Okay, this is my favorite.
	John, what are you doing for July 4th?
	I'll be watching fireworks.
	Okay.
	You're going to have a cookout?
	You got any of the kids down?
	I suppose I should cook something on the barbecue to pollute the place.
	You got any of the family over?
	Uh, my daughter's here.
	Oh, that's nice.
	Okay, so Miki has like, she's promised me hot chicks in the hot tub.
	Yeah, promises, promises.
	Exactly.
	If it happens, I'll tweet photos, but promises, promises.
	But, you know, apparently that's not what we should be doing.
	We can, and that is in a cache of materials that came out of Osama bin Laden's home in Pakistan.
	There was evidence that as late as February of 2010, bin Laden wanted strikes in the U.S., particularly around symbolic holidays.
	What?
	Are you...
	Overly concerned or more concerned than you usually would be about this weekend?
	Are you feeling reasonably steady that this looks like a weekend that we're well prepared for?
	I would almost say all of the above.
	I do feel reasonably secure because we have increased security as far as alerting local governments, alerting the private sector.
	There's no doubt that we do know that al-Qaeda was talking more about attacking the U.S. on symbolic dates.
	Also, in the lead up to 9-11, the 10th anniversary of September 11th, we know that they are considering, are trying to plan attacks.
	Now, having said that, I'm not aware of any particular attacks that's being planned right now, but we do know they are looking for symbolism.
	They do want to do something dramatic before September 11th.
	And obviously the 4th of July would be a prime time for that.
	So everyone has been alerted to be on extra guard, to be much more careful.
	And so because of that, I feel reasonably secure.
	But Candy, you know, this is a dangerous world and Al-Qaeda is a dangerous enemy.
	And we can never let our guard down.
	They're waiting for the weekend or the weekday or any time when we don't let our guard down.
	Well, we're having a barbecue on the 4th of July.
	They're plotting some way to kill us.
	And if it's not the 4th of July, it's another date.
	These people never stop.
	They're evil and they want to kill us.
	So while you're having a barbecue, John, Al-Qaeda's going to kill you!
	They're plotting.
	They never rest.
	Not for a second.
	Get Peter King out of there, shill.
	The guy's bad.
	Why don't you give him a douchebag?
	Yeah, I'd be happy to.
	Douchebag!
	Ooh, that didn't quite...
	Now I feel better.
	Hey, No Agenda Producer Update is coming on right after this program ends, if you're listening to NoAgendaStream.com.
	Miss Mickey on the show with a Hot Pockets 2008 tour update.
	And I believe maybe even Baroness Maggie Vincent of Virginia.
	It's like all the hot chicks are on the show.
	So Gitmo Slay will be running the show.
	I have no idea, but it's going to be a bonanza.
	I'm very excited to listen to this.
	Thank you, John.
	Always good to talk to you.
	Yeah, it was entertaining as usual.
	I think you win with the training programs on Twitter and Facebook and Skype in the Eastern Zone, which I think was an interesting discovery.
	We have to follow up on that.
	We shall.
	And I think everything else we're up to speed on, pretty much.
	Well, coming to you from Gitmo Nation West, in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back with you Thursday, right here on No Agenda.
