	No, no, no.
	You can't use 33.
	No, man.
	You can't call 33 now, man.
	That's the wrong code.
	No good.
	Wrong code.
	Wrong code.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, July 24th, 2011.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 324.
	This is No Agenda.
	Reporting from the front lines of Gitmo Nation, from the Four Winds 5000, Crackpot Command Center, and Gitmo Nation, sunshine!
	The great state of Florida.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	We have oranges, too, and from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
	In the morning!
	You don't have sunshine like we got sunshine here in the Sunshine State.
	Actually, we have fog, as a matter of fact, and it's nice and cool.
	Yeah, in the morning to you, John.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Curry and all ships at sea.
	In the morning to you, and in the morning to the boots on the ground and the feet in the air.
	Yes, and in the morning to producer Nico DeHaan, his lovely wife Ellen, who have kindly opened up their home here near Clearwater, Florida.
	Clearwater?
	Yes.
	So you're in the home of the Scientologists.
	That's right!
	I'm being programmed as we speak!
	Actually, this is nowhere near the...
	As far as I know...
	All of Clearwater is the Scientology Center, the whole town.
	They're standing all over the place in these dark suits.
	Have you seen them?
	No.
	No, I haven't.
	We drove by with the windows closed.
	Oh, you should go.
	It's quite funny.
	It's like being in Israel, and there's all these Hasidics wearing these black outfits while it's 120 degrees out.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, these guys are wearing these wool blazers standing all over the place.
	I don't know what they're doing, actually.
	Anyway, so, wow, I've got to give you an update.
	This, of course, is part two, is it part two or part trois?
	Part trois of the Hot Pockets 2008 tour as we are cruising around Gitmo Nation, meeting all of the human resources along the way.
	Last we checked in, where was I last time, John?
	As far as I know, you were at Baroness' house.
	No, no, no.
	We did a show from South Carolina, remember?
	You did?
	Yeah, we did a show from Charleston.
	Oh, right, just outside of Charleston.
	Right, and then after the show...
	And you were using the 3G connection.
	That's correct.
	Now, today we're on a different connection.
	I'll get to that in a second.
	I wanted to thank Katie Humer.
	Who dropped by after the show and she handed off a nice cold local micro brew, which was very welcome.
	It's kind of cool people just come on to the KOA campgrounds, like looking for the Hot Pockets mobile.
	By the way, Katie works for Lucifer.
	Katie works for Lucifer?
	Yeah, I think she works for a contractor.
	Well, that's funny.
	You know, we have Sarah Austin's sister comes in the office in Mevio every so often, Becca, and she works for Lucifer.
	Yeah, I mean, I think Lucifer...
	She's Lucifer's blogger.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, that's right.
	I did know that.
	Yeah, well, Katie, I'm not quite sure what she does.
	I think she works for a contractor, but she says they have an intranet.
	And it's really weird.
	And there's always a little welcome message from Hillary that changes.
	And whenever she has new hairdo, they have to update all the pictures on the site, on the internet.
	And she sends out little, like, you know, Happy Mother's Day.
	Apparently, all of the human resources who listen to the program, in one way or the other, work for the evil empire.
	Oh well.
	Oh well.
	What can you say?
	So yeah, after that we broke up, camped, we drove as far as we could.
	We actually didn't even get to a campground because we were going to try and make it to Jacksonville.
	Remember you said don't go to Jacksonville?
	So we stopped short of Jacksonville, probably about an hour north of it, and we actually kind of cheated.
	We stayed at a Comfort Suites.
	Oh, you got into a real bed.
	Actually, I think our bed here in the RV is better than the comfort suites.
	Well, that could be.
	Yeah, and so literally just like, you know, got into 11 o'clock, we just crashed, woke up the next morning, made sure Mickey had her first taste of grits in some diner, which was right next to the comfort suites.
	This is all on the I-95 on the highway.
	What does she think?
	Yeah, she went, that's chrismael, which is the Dutch word for grits.
	Oh, so the Dutch have been eating grits all along.
	They just didn't know it was grits.
	So where's the grits?
	She's looking around.
	So she had her grits.
	Yeah, so there's nothing new there.
	Nothing new, no.
	And then we cruised on down, and once we hit the...
	Actually, we went to St.
	Augustine.
	As you recommended.
	And we had lunch in St.
	Augustine.
	I saw your blog post.
	St.
	Augustine, crap hole for tourists.
	I'm out of here.
	Thanks, John.
	Thanks for the recommendation.
	It was very touristy.
	This is the thing I hate about, it's okay to have touristy shops and everything and keep them in one area, but they have these tourist trams and they dress them up to look like trains.
	What are we, infantile?
	It's like, oh, look, honey, it looks just like a train.
	Let's get a ticket.
	So stupid.
	But it's good because I can get behind them and I can drive around.
	Because we also hit Savannah.
	We actually hit Savannah the night before.
	And just as we were coming over the big bridge, which leads into the main drag, whatever, we came up behind one of these stupid tourist trams.
	But it was great because I just followed right behind it.
	And it took it right through the old squares of Savannah where all the old homes were.
	Which is stunningly beautiful, particularly at sunset.
	I mean, that's old South, old Georgia, beautiful architecture.
	And we're trucking along behind it, which is perfect, because anywhere that stupid tram can go, I can pretty much maneuver the RV. And then we got a call from Harry Pilgrim, because he saw us...
	This is really amazing when you're traveling now these days and you tweet, no, we're here, and then you get like a million tweets.
	You gotta go here.
	You gotta see this.
	Don't miss that.
	You got the tree coming through the roof.
	You gotta see it.
	And Harry's like, oh, you gotta go down River Street.
	So I'm like, okay, I look at my GPS. I'm like, oh, River Street, okay.
	Yeah, River Street is cobblestones.
	Have you ever driven a 20-foot RV on cobblestones?
	There were people looking at me like, look at this douchebag.
	What is he doing?
	The plates are like, the whole thing is rattling away.
	Right, so we did that.
	We hit St.
	Augustine.
	Nah, not so great.
	And then we had our obligatory free orange juice at the Welcome Center at the state line of the great state of Florida, which is great.
	You know, they've got free orange juice.
	You pull up, they're happy to serve it to you.
	Really nice.
	Did you ask for seconds?
	No, he didn't.
	But the nice lady took some pictures for us of me and my Uggs.
	And then we blew down the...
	Oh, by the way, we had to pass through Orlando because we came down the east coast of Florida and then we were going for a meet-up at Nico and Ellen's house.
	And this is Friday night.
	Friday night, Orlando.
	We didn't really think about it and no one really told us.
	Yeah, there could be traffic on the interstate.
	Oh, my God.
	It's like 120 degrees and traffic.
	You know, stop and go traffic.
	And then luckily we had one of those pop-up thunderstorms and it's just beautiful sky and the lightning is flashing and the rain is coming down.
	It cools everything down for about 20 minutes and then it heats back up again.
	So we got in just in time for our meet-up here, and it was great.
	We had Gitmoslave, who of course is a big maintainer of the stream, has done a lot of stuff for the show.
	It was nice to meet him in person.
	Sir Andrew Green and his lovely girl Amanda stopped by, and Chad Laston.
	Who drove from Cape Canaveral.
	So, you know, people once again came from far and wide.
	It was really nice, though, of Nico and Alan to open up their homes.
	So it was kind of a smaller group where we could really talk.
	And it was a beautiful evening.
	And we sat out under their screened-in porch with the fans going and beer.
	And Nico's a very interesting guy, John.
	He's older than you are.
	But he looks like me.
	Like, as young as me, only not quite as handsome.
	Almost as handsome.
	And he does a podcast, which is...
	I blogged about it.
	What is it?
	It's Living the Primal Lifestyle.
	And you'd really like what he has to say.
	He eats no grains, but he eats lots of meat.
	Meat?
	Yeah, meat.
	Yeah, well, the guy looks great.
	He's doing something right.
	And, uh, so that was really quite awesome.
	And then, uh, after the, uh, after the meetup, we went over to, uh, our KOA campground, uh, about 20 minutes from here.
	And, uh, hooked up in the dark, always fun.
	Uh, went to sleep, woke up the next morning, and of course I hadn't done any prep.
	So, you know, it was time to connect up.
	Once again, the Wi-Fi at the park, complete crap.
	Tango internet, really?
	Tango internet.
	It's really horrible.
	We're going to get our asses beat by any other country.
	Our wireless infrastructure is no good.
	It really is quite pathetic.
	So luckily I had the 3G connection.
	You actually had to use your 3G when you supposedly have wireless internet at the KOA? Oh yeah, it's horrible.
	It's horrible.
	It may be good if you're looking at your Facebook page, but if you actually want to get something accomplished, it's no good.
	It just breaks.
	I can see the connections.
	I can just see it breaking all the time.
	And, you know, we've got files to upload and download.
	I've got Dropboxes to synchronize.
	Mickey's got pictures to upload.
	It's no good for that.
	So, I will say Verizon and AT&T both, very strong 3G signals.
	Even the T-Mobile was pretty decent.
	So we were able to switch back and forth and that worked pretty well.
	So we're in the RV working away with the air conditioner on.
	I was like, hey, let's go outside and we'll just take a look around.
	Imagine someone throwing a boiling towel in your face.
	It's so hot.
	So unbelievably hot down here.
	And you go to like the...
	You know, the camp store.
	He's not even in the heat bubble down there either.
	I know.
	But it's a little hotter than normal, according to them.
	We had the RV cleaning guys come by to clean the carpets and stuff.
	A little bit of residue of Baroness Maggie's St.
	Bernard's, which, with all the heat and the air conditioner, kind of...
	Smells like a big wet dog.
	Yeah.
	And I got blamed first.
	Mickey's like, baby, you really need to shower.
	I'm like, no!
	That's not me.
	So, yeah.
	Let me see.
	I do have Hot Pocket Producers to thank.
	besides, of course, Nico DeHaan and Ellen DeHaan, where we are parked right now because we struck camp this morning, drove over here.
	They made a lovely breakfast for us.
	I'm plugged into the 20-amp circuit.
	We're using Nico's Wi-Fi.
	He's got regular cable here.
	He's got 5 megabit up.
	Hello.
	We don't have that in California.
	Do you have 5 megabit upstream on your cable?
	No, I got 2.5 or more.
	Maybe I might have 4, actually.
	I'd pay extra to get 2.
	Stupid Hollywood.
	Stupid Hollywood.
	So Chad helped us out with the $200 donation.
	We highly appreciate that.
	That works towards his knighthood.
	And it was kind of funny.
	He was telling me the story that his brother, he comes from Ohio.
	His brother lives in Ohio.
	And he said, you know, we got Dvorak.
	I said, what do you mean?
	So, you know, my brother had donated money to the show and had asked for karma for me.
	And then somehow John gave the karma to his brother.
	And we douchebagged a guy they didn't even know.
	I'm just reading from the script.
	So we all have this vision of this guy who's like going about his life and all of a sudden, hey, why is my life collapsing?
	Why is everything around me going to crap?
	What is happening?
	So, yeah, it's great.
	And then after the show today, Ms.
	Mickey will be doing the new Agenda Producer Update with Gitmo Slave Poolside here.
	And then we'll be picking up and we'll be driving northbound towards Pensacola.
	We'll probably make it to, like, Tallahassee, I think, as we are on our way towards New Orleans.
	And a reminder, there is a Facebook page.
	Sorry.
	That's where Mickey does her best work.
	But HotPockets2008.com is an RSS feed, luckily.
	HotPockets2008.com has all the information, and of course I'm blogging about our trip, and we look forward to more meetups if possible.
	It's been great meeting everybody on the road, John.
	And really, I'll tell you, man, it may sound hokey, but we are making some form of a difference.
	One human resource at a time.
	Well, it's better than poking the eye with a sharp stick.
	Yeah.
	And you know what everyone, the one meme that propagates?
	Which is?
	Everybody says it.
	Hey man, I'm just getting by.
	Living the American dream.
	Yeah, well they are.
	You know, it's funny.
	Someone sent me, and I, if someone out there has the audio book, Of Barack Obama's Audacity of Hope.
	Isn't that it?
	Audacity of Troop?
	Hope?
	Whatever?
	I have it here.
	I tried to get a copy of it, but it's like $30 to get a copy of his audiobook.
	It should be free.
	I agree.
	On page 10, Audacity of Hope.
	Here it is.
	They, which refers to his constituents for when he was running for senator, believe that anyone willing to work should be able to find a job that pays a living wage.
	They believe people shouldn't have to file bankruptcy just because they got sick.
	They believe that every child should have a genuinely good education and those same children should be able to go to college even if their parents aren't rich.
	And when they get old, they want to be able to retire with some dignity and respect.
	So he's basically, he's saying, without putting the dream part in, he's basically had the same message all along, which is I don't think anyone read the book.
	you Did you read it?
	Oh, God, no.
	I should have.
	I feel bad now.
	I would have caught that immediately.
	Like, what?
	Just getting by.
	I don't just want to have a living wage.
	I want to live the true American dream.
	Being Donald Trump.
	Yeah, get a Cadillac.
	Yeah, with chicks and a flip-over.
	What's a flip-over?
	A flip-over hair.
	Oh, Donald Trump.
	Yeah.
	That's the American dream.
	All right.
	Well, we have some...
	Before we start with the news, let's do our executive producers right off the bat.
	Okay, that's good.
	And we want to start with JamesFreeHallowBooks.com in Summerfield, North Carolina.
	Donated 36551.
	If you want, please kick in the extra penny to get us to the knighthood.
	And you can thank Sir Michael Garcia of Tokyo, Edward Halsey of San Francisco, Brian Watson of Raleigh, David Anderson, and Paul the Book Guy from Paul the Book Guy podcast.
	They all bought these books.
	Yeah, these are the ones that I signed, right?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, no.
	These are the ones that I signed.
	In fact, Brian Watson from Monroe, North Carolina paid $333.33 for the signed copy of Atlas Shrugged.
	Atlas Shrugged.
	Gotta love it!
	Anyway, freehullbooks.com.
	Check it out.
	He'll also be knighted later.
	Brian Doerr, Frisco, Texas.
	I'm a donor, not a boner.
	I've been listening to you in a couple of years and finally decided to clear down my PayPal account and add a bit more for good measure.
	And a podcast license and a bonus for my douchebaggery.
	I'm now forwarding bloggerlicense.com and goslaves.com to No Agenda Show.
	If you want to do anything with a blog or license, just let me know.
	Think it may be useful and necessary as a podcast license here shortly.
	And if I can ask one favor and get you to play the slave song, I would greatly appreciate it.
	Thanks for opening the eyes of a sleepy slave, 33333.
	No, I don't have that one handy.
	I haven't played that in a long time.
	I don't think I brought it with me, the slave song.
	It's on the phone.
	Okay, we'll play it eventually, Brian.
	We'll get it.
	Yeah, we'll get it.
	James Howard in Indianapolis, Indiana.
	33333 is my second 33333.
	And I know, you know what that means.
	That's right, I'm the new Secretary of State.
	Okay.
	He wants to call out his buddy Tim Wang as a no-donating douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	He hit him in the mouth a month ago, and I'm pretty sure he hasn't contributed a penny.
	Plus, he's Chinese, so give him an in the morning.
	I've decided five bucks a month isn't enough, so I'm going to hop to the one dollar per hour subscription.
	Good luck on the tour, boys.
	Hey, thanks so much, James.
	That's nice.
	Christian Winner, 324 at Mac Tanks.
	It'll be a night today, Venice, California.
	From the start of El Numero Deu, Pedal to the metal out of Cigar City, good buddies, which is Ybor, by the way, which is another Cigar City.
	That's Ybor with a Y. Yes, that's a big 10-4.
	Hey, I got me a CB at Radio Shack.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, I got the antenna and everything.
	I'm going to hook it up before we leave so we can talk to my good buddies on the way up.
	That's funny.
	Also, a couple of associate executive producers, Kenneth Micklebust.
	In Frederikstad, Norway, $2.27.11.
	And Steve Thompson, $201 from Drumbo, Ontario, Canada.
	Hi, John and Adam.
	Love the show.
	Keep up the good work.
	Please de-douche me and send some karma.
	Oh, a double shot.
	Here we go.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Nice.
	And along with that, of course.
	That'll be all right.
	I'm sorry, that'll be our executive producers along with the one you mentioned earlier.
	Yes, along with Chad, who will also be an associate executive producer and a special Hot Pocket producer, Chad Lastin.
	Actually, I'll read his note then.
	Love the show, all the tedious hours of watching ugly people on C-SPAN. That both of you endure.
	No Agenda is my primary source for news and information topics and you provide the means to further research the stories with your awesome show notes.
	I'd like a formal de-douching.
	Hold on a second, here's a real de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	And he says, I'd like to donate my karma to Adam and Mickey for the rest of the Hot Pockets 2008 Tour.
	Safe journey to you both.
	And keep trying to get John C. Dvorak to make a stop on the tour.
	I think by donating my karma, it will provide even greater karma in the long run.
	Well, I appreciate it, but I'm going to boomerang that right back at you, my buddy.
	You deserve it.
	So here's the karma for Chad.
	You've got karma.
	It's a boomerang karma.
	By the way, what is our...
	Did we mess up the show numbers?
	Because Christian Winter will be a member of the 324 Club.
	But I thought last week was...
	Or the last show was the 324 Club.
	No, no, no.
	We had John Turek, and he donated $324, but he meant to do $323.
	And then I originally put $324 in the 324 Club show notes.
	It was a big mess.
	But today is 324.
	Clerical error.
	Yes.
	I think...
	Wait, today is 324.
	For sure.
	I think.
	Isn't it?
	Well, I thought it was 325.
	325?
	No, it's definitely not 325.
	All right, a couple of PR mentions.
	ATFleaks.com, which should be a site all unto its own, but is currently forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com.
	A note that I got from one of our producers yesterday, it was only 111 days until 11-11-11, so very special magic.
	Wow.
	Yeah, we're getting there.
	And members who want to jump in on that 333 club, of course, that's where the big karma comes from.
	Tyler forwarding obamer.me to noagendashow.com.
	Not quite sure what the next one is good for, but nakedhostility.com, you never know.
	Admins in love, ask John what this is about.
	No, Adam is in love, I'm sorry.
	Adam is in love.com?
	Is there something I need to know about this?
	I forgot.
	But I can tell you, it actually relates to the fact that his comment to me was, this guy must really be in love because to go into an RV and take a long trip, because he's done it too, you have to be in love.
	And that was actually kind of the subtext of the adamisinlove.com.
	Well, I'll tell you, that is very interesting because...
	I was wondering who's going to first get stabbed.
	Well, let me give you a quick anecdote on that.
	So you do learn more, and we, of course, love each other deeply, but when you're in this little box together, you can't hide anything.
	Not that we ever did, but there's a lot of stuff that just becomes very apparent.
	And both of us are broken.
	I need to take a shower.
	Yeah, that's one of them.
	But, you know, Mickey has dyslexia.
	She's told me she has dyslexia.
	Do you know what dyslexia is, John?
	I thought I knew it.
	Mimi's got dyslexia.
	Seriously, what is dyslexia?
	Just give me the one-liner.
	All these symbols flip.
	Yeah, that's what I thought.
	But when you actually...
	And we, of course...
	Because, you know, Mickey was like, we've got to go to Jerky Island.
	I'm like, Jerky Island?
	What are you talking about?
	And she's producing everything, right?
	She's producing the meetups and where we're going next.
	And I'm just driving, sleeping, pooping, and doing the show.
	That's basically my job.
	Not all in the same place, I think.
	I'm a multitasker.
	And she's talking about Jerky Island.
	What are you talking about?
	Oh, Jekyll Island, of course.
	We were right near Jekyll Island, which is where the private Federal Reserve was started over 100 years ago and screwing us to this day.
	I said, there's no R in Jekyll.
	How do you come up with that?
	He says, I have dyslexia.
	I said, no, dyslexia is like flipping stuff around.
	And then she's like, oh yeah.
	And of course, I made her feel bad by saying that.
	And so she looks it up.
	Wait a minute, you got on her case for saying jerk island or whatever?
	And this is the beginning.
	We'll be seeing the knife in somebody's shoulder.
	No, no, no.
	So there's a number of things.
	It's hard for her geography.
	By the way, she's never reading glasses on and everything.
	It doesn't make it any easier.
	But I'll tell you one thing.
	There is nothing funnier, John, than having someone with dyslexia read you the definition of dyslexia from Wikipedia.
	That is something you have to have Mimi do.
	It's hilarious.
	You just sit there and go...
	Really?
	But no, man, dyslexia sucks.
	It includes short-term memory loss.
	It's complete non-cognitive capabilities of actually understanding sentences.
	It's not just flipping stuff around.
	It really sucks, and they don't really know where it comes from.
	You said, give me the one-line definition.
	What am I supposed to do?
	I can't go on and on like this.
	Did you know that, though?
	Can Mickey do left from right?
	You know, it's amazing.
	She has a very savant capability of direction.
	But sometimes she does mix up...
	She'll say left when she means right, but not when driving.
	Driving, she's great.
	Anyway, I was amazed.
	I thought it was just like, ah, you just mess up words and stuff.
	But it's like, she's handicapped.
	I think we should go on the government dole.
	I think we should get one of those parking spaces.
	At least.
	We should be able to get a wheelchair.
	We should always be parking in the wrong one, though.
	Hold on a second.
	That was good.
	I like that.
	All right, so we thank everybody.
	Oh, did I have one more?
	Yes.
	HowManyTroopsAreHome.com.
	Eddie Keating forwarding that.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	That should be a site all to its own as well.
	Thank you so much.
	Appreciate that.
	I got all of our producers.
	And a quick mention that Rhino the Bearded has been doing an audio version of One Day in Gitmo Nation, the fine book that is released all around the No Agenda memes.
	You can find that on the stream, noagendastream.com.
	And if you want to find all of the shows that are running at any given moment, go to podcast.nashownotes.com.
	And then, of course, thanks to our executive producer, James from FreeHallowBooks.com, Brian Doerr.
	James Howard, Christian Winter, and Associate Executive Producers Kenneth Mikkelbust, Steve Thompson, and Chad Laston.
	We appreciate what you're doing for us.
	You are keeping the show going, particularly during these summer months when it's really hard because people are out and not listening to the show in a way.
	I don't know why, but they're being programmed.
	And everyone else out there...
	Something you can do is propagate our formula.
	It's pretty simple.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Fan dinner.
	Shut up, slave.
	He'd tell, by the way, I picked up a nasty head cold.
	Yeah, you sound like a little congestive.
	I want to mention to people who go to Dvorak.org slash NA, Dvorak, or channel Dvorak.com slash NA, and also No Agenda Show on No AgendaNation.com.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Well...
	I guess we should talk about Norway.
	I guess that's what the people have been waiting for.
	We've been stalling them.
	So, first of all, way too early.
	This is way too early to really figure anything out because the first thing that happens is, I mean, the mainstream media, what a bunch of douche knuckles.
	I mean, really.
	CNN, BBC, everyone immediately, oh, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda.
	Squirrel!
	And then it's like, oh, lone wolf, lone wolf, lone wolf, lone wolf!
	Oh, be very afraid, blonde hair, white guy!
	So there's so much disinformation.
	But the thing that amazes me, and I know you've seen exactly the same because I've followed some of the...
	The email conversations is people who are either in Norway, and we have some great producers who live in Norway.
	In fact, what's that guy?
	Sir Snorderstain lives up there in the North Pole in Norway.
	And when you have 80, 90 people killed in a relatively small country, you're going to know someone.
	Everyone's relating to this very, very personally.
	And I have yet to find a single, no-agenda producer who is not saying, no man, this is just a radicalist.
	This is real.
	This is not a conspiracy theory.
	There's no conspiracy behind this.
	This guy was real.
	He's nuts.
	He's a radical.
	He hates Islam.
	Blew it all up.
	Killed the children.
	He hates Islam, so he goes out and kills a bunch of white people that look like him.
	Yeah, there's a couple of things that are very bothersome about this.
	And there's just no way for us to form an opinion yet.
	However, once again, there was a terror security drill and exercise the day before in the very building where this happened.
	You knew this, right?
	No, you got me on that one.
	Oh, man.
	I'm like, really?
	You're always on the lookout for that particular piece of information.
	That's the one that immediately...
	I'm like, okay.
	I mean, I don't need to know anything else after that.
	Here it is.
	This is according to...
	I have had a lot of help from people translating stuff.
	The Afton Post report, anti-terror police fired explosive charges at a training center in Oslo, 200 meters from the opera.
	However, they forgot to notify the public.
	So this was on Wednesday.
	The exercise occurred, revolved around anti-terror units attacking a disused building at the edge of, and then I can't read it because the characters are messed up, Tervika Pier, I think, with bombs and firearms.
	The men lowered themselves down from the roof in through the window.
	They'd just been blown out while they fired their weapons.
	The report stated, noting the exercise dramatic, produced violent bangs, and was watched by spectators nearby at the Opera House.
	This seems to happen with enormous regularity when there's something that we at least would consider to be a false flag, is that there's some kind of exercise in and around when it takes place.
	And so this once again happened.
	And that bothered me.
	Yeah, that would be bothersome.
	And then...
	Why does the mainstream media...
	I'm just looking at all the angles, right?
	Because I can't conclude anything yet, and I don't think you can either yet, John.
	But when a guy shows up in a police uniform, which of course the reporting is all over the map, once he had a sweater on with a police badge, someone else says, you know, these kids clearly thought it was police, if we can believe the reporting.
	Is there no one who says, hey, maybe it was police?
	I didn't see anyone question that.
	Why are you laughing?
	It's pretty funny.
	No, but seriously, it's like, well, could it have been a police officer?
	And then this guy, like, you know, really?
	Like, he has...
	Well, I'm still baffled by the fact that he's got this manifesto written in English out of London with a different name.
	Yeah.
	What's the point?
	What's the point?
	Why?
	I mean, oh, well, everybody in every news report says the same thing.
	They put the guy's name, Andrew Brevnik, or whatever it is, on the London report.
	It's London.
	They say the anglicized version of his name.
	I don't know.
	How many Norwegians do you know?
	I mean, look...
	I don't know any that anglicized their name for the English audience and then used another name and used two different names.
	Right.
	I mean, that went out in the 30s.
	I mean, it's pointless.
	Right.
	So that's kind of befuddling.
	I mean, there's lots of things.
	In Norway, just as in many other countries, by the way, there was a lot of testing of LSD on young children.
	There's lots of reports about that.
	By the way, not unlike Julian Assange.
	And how much does this guy look like Julian Assange?
	He also looks like Paul Bronson.
	Who?
	If you knew what Poe Bronson looked like, you'd laugh.
	He looks just like him.
	Okay.
	He's a novelist, local boy.
	Anyway, yeah, no, we're going to have to take us a few...
	First, we're going to have to get through all the theories that are floating around immediately from people like Jones.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's going straight to the Illuminati.
	There was another little irritating thing.
	There's this pilot, Ian Dutton.
	And he's a young guy.
	And he's a Continental Airlines pilot.
	And, you know, so I'm looking at this guy, because CNN had him on.
	And he's saying, it's just like 9-11, you know, there's pulverized dust.
	And he was in New York on 9-11, and he was interviewed then.
	He also turns up in Haiti airlifting troops.
	This guy's like a media darling, and his Twitter handle is DarkPilot.
	You know, so it's just like, you've got to follow these people.
	Dark Pilot, that sounds like a CIA name.
	Yeah, and his Twitter handle is called, Airline Pilot and Subterranean.
	I was like, what?
	So, he's a member of New York's community board, the CB2 Transportation Committee.
	I don't know, he calls himself a goth pilot.
	Yeah, it's just these people who happen to be around at these events.
	And then, of course, my favorite is if you take the date of this horrific event...
	7-22-2011.
	You add up the numbers.
	It, of course, equals 33.
	Yeah, I don't want to make light of it, but...
	Here's a dark pilot.
	I'm looking at his tweeters.
	He says, yes, I'm in Oslo.
	Yes, I'm okay.
	And yes, that's me all over CNN. And notice he hasn't tweeted since February before that.
	All of a sudden, he tweets...
	One line.
	Doesn't come back after that at all.
	Actually, it's worse than that.
	He hasn't tweeted since November 2010.
	There you go.
	I think the anti-bike backlash is overblown media hype.
	That cycling could be more neighborly.
	My CB2 meeting tonight.
	I mean, he's tweeting on the 9th, November 9th, November 10th, November 9th, October 20th.
	He's tweeting, tweeting, tweeting.
	Then he stops completely.
	To get reprogrammed.
	And then the next thing you know, July 22nd, like over six, seven, eight months later, he tweets as though he's been tweeting all along.
	That's weird.
	Yeah, interesting.
	I'll keep an eye on him.
	But your assessment, John.
	My assessment is very simple.
	I think something's fishy.
	That's the best I can do.
	I got nothing.
	I looked around.
	I was looking at some of the reports.
	A lot of the stuff is screwy.
	That manifesto of his is cut and paste.
	It showed up the day before.
	The wiki entry for his lawyer showed up.
	You can look at the history of the wiki.
	The guy never existed until yesterday.
	And now he's like...
	He has a wiki page, the lawyer, who also got somebody...
	Yeah, he has one famous case and the person lost in jail.
	And...
	I think it's good.
	And it's removed from the United States, so we don't have access to anything.
	We don't know how their media works.
	We don't know what kind of system they're going to propagate their information.
	I don't know.
	It's going to take a while before it shakes out.
	I believe some blogger or somebody will have a tidbit that will help us.
	Well, let me...
	Here's how I approached it, because I knew that, you know, this is really sensitive right now, and people are very hurt, and people are very shocked.
	It is shock and awe, and this is very handy, because whenever these things take place, a lot of stuff happens.
	This is how I wound up with the Patriot Act, which turns out was written and ready to go years before.
	All these kind of weird things happen.
	So, what does this distract from?
	Well, it distracts from what we are calling a CIA versus MI6 war with Murdoch.
	Off the map, done, over, won't even hear about it anymore.
	Hackgate, yesterday's news.
	I don't think that'll come back.
	I think that's over.
	I think that's very convenient.
	I'm just saying that's very convenient.
	Now, Norway...
	Although it is a member of NATO and is actually participating in the Libyan bombings, not a member of the EU. Norway, by the way, also had...
	Don't they have all the oil?
	Don't they have tons of oil, John?
	They got tons of oil, which is, of course, a giveaway of action that takes place around oil.
	The other thing is this manifesto and all this other stuff seems to be EU-centric, and it seems of any place you're going to do something like this, Norway's not even in the EU, and this is all about the EU and the multi-culti EU. Exactly.
	That's why it's wrong.
	This is not a very well put together whatever it is.
	If the guy's just a lone wolf nutcase, just like everyone wants to believe, that he wrote this manifesto, he's targeting the wrong people.
	The whole thing is bad.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	So if you wanted to do something that would affect the EU... But didn't necessarily involve the EU, Norway would be perfect.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So if you wanted to tighten security and make more of a police state around the EU than it already is, and if you wanted to cover up a couple of events which just took place, and I did find one, rather important...
	It would be perfect to do something like this in Norway because we don't, you know, this is not really an EU thing, right?
	It's not really a member state.
	We really feel bad and, ah, shucks and all that.
	But we've got to make sure this doesn't happen at home here in the EU and we've got to be on the lookout for these Right-wing radicals.
	They want to kill everybody.
	And here's this manifesto about the multicultural society, which is definitely something that's being discussed all across Europe.
	We recently talked about the Netherlands actually officially stepping back, saying this multicultural society doesn't really work.
	But something happened around Christine Lagarde and the Greek bailout.
	And actually, I have a clip.
	Let's see how long we can stand this.
	But something very important took place, and I believe that this is...
	I know that this is off the radar because of this event.
	No one's going to be talking about what has actually happened in Europe.
	I was very impressed.
	Well, it's great to hear there was such a great spirit, but just looking at the detail of what was decided, debts are being rescheduled, the amount to be repaid is being reduced, the interest rates are being taken down.
	It is some kind of default, surely.
	You can't prevent members of the Eurozone to actually decide that they're going to reduce the interest rate simply because they want to make sure that one of the partners who has been under severe attack, who has delivered under the program so far, needs to be supported and needs help.
	And that's really what happened tonight.
	What I found really most amazing is the collective resolve to actually continue to support countries Until such time when they regain access to market, provided that they deliver under the program.
	And I think it's a combination of give and take.
	You deliver, you do what you have to do, and we will back you.
	Is they greatly expanded the Eurozone bailout for Greece.
	And in effect, by leaving the banks out of it, they still had this, well, it's a voluntary, if you want to give us your money.
	Yeah, right.
	Like, who in their right mind is going to do that?
	Like, no one.
	They've effectively created what they always wanted, the collective fiscal and monetary union of the EU. Right?
	So, this settlement, which they've now put together, which happened just in the very same days that this atrocity has taken place, if it's accepted by each of the individual member states' parliaments, We will actually, you can mark this in history, is the day that Europe became, no longer is it a collection of nation states.
	It is one economic government, one currency.
	We have one foreign policy for the EU. The integration is so complete.
	Taxpayers will be paying their tax to Brussels.
	This is all taking place right now, right in front of their eyes, and no one is paying attention to it.
	It's even worse.
	The EU has now said that every European has to have a basic bank account without overdrafts And it'll have a set fee.
	The European Commission, Starfleet Command, is commanding this within six months.
	And it's a special 18-digit bank number.
	Okay?
	This is it, people.
	This is where it takes place.
	You're going to be forced to use the EU bank.
	That's where your money will have to go in for your plastic money.
	And it's a shutdown of all your freedom based upon your money.
	And, of course, no one is really reporting on this.
	No, there's other things to report on.
	Things that are more superficial.
	I want to mention a couple of other things about this Norway situation.
	One is, where's Obama?
	Yeah, that's where he received his Nobel Prize.
	I know, but generally speaking, anytime anything happens that we've noticed over the past two years, somebody stubs their toe somewhere, Obama's there to give condolences.
	He goes on to network TV and he gives a little talk saying, we're sorry this happened.
	Rosie?
	You know what I think?
	I think the U.S. had nothing to do with this.
	I think that the CIA shows up when he's in the script.
	He didn't get a casting call.
	He didn't know where his trailer was.
	He didn't know what to do.
	Right, so he did nothing.
	Also, this character was a member of that labor party that he shot up.
	Which is under-reported, by the way.
	Oh, really?
	I didn't realize that.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know what?
	Here's the basic bottom line.
	I know of only one entity that has the soullessness and the evilness to kill children in cold blood.
	And that is a government.
	Our government does it.
	We're killing kids and civilians with drones everywhere.
	So the only entity I know that is so gutless to do this is a government.
	Or controlling a drone.
	This guy could have been MKUltra.
	He could have been anything.
	Well, we'll find out in the weeks ahead.
	Yeah, weeks, months.
	Yeah, it might be longer because, again, the guy's admitted, you know, they're going to try to get this thing done with quick...
	It's going to be like a Timothy McVeigh thing.
	The guy's going to be found guilty and then shot immediately.
	I mean, you know, who knows what would have happened if McVeigh was just given life in prison.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And they're already saying that, right?
	They're already saying McVeigh, all the U.S. news reports, this guy was just like Timothy McVeigh.
	He wasn't.
	But it turns out his father was a diplomat in the UK for Norway.
	So he's got diplomatic ties.
	I mean, this is all the...
	It's like...
	We're going to start seeing all of this.
	So, okay, we'll continue to follow it.
	Now, back to the English thing.
	I got an interesting email from someone.
	I'm like you.
	I got a couple of contacts that have observations that are worth repeating.
	And this is an interesting theory about the two dead guys that showed up.
	Oh, the whistleblowers?
	Yeah, the two dead whistleblowers.
	I'm just going to read this straight up, and you can take it for what it's worth, which could be anything.
	Here's the next shoe to drop.
	He used Russians out of work from the FSB. We're talking about the Murdoch operation.
	Both in London and New York, no tinfoil hats.
	I know this from personal knowledge of people who worked for him.
	That's why that guy turning up dead in London without cause is noteworthy.
	Okay, maybe there was evidence at the scene that points to a cause of death, but they're...
	Dismissing it as not suspicious before the autopsy had even been completed was kind of BS. I'm not saying that Murdoch would pull the lever for a guy like that to get killed, but a lot of these Russian plumbers take initiatives in expectation to collect on a favor at a later date, and it's even possible somebody pulled a Thomas Beckett on the guy, for example, saying, gee, what could we ever do to make this guy stop in someone's presence?
	Oh, right.
	Well...
	So, Russians.
	There you go.
	Russians.
	Of course.
	Using XKGB, guys.
	Perfect.
	Yeah, that's what you do.
	The guys know what they're doing.
	And they wouldn't have any qualms about killing these guys.
	No, no.
	By the way, you asked the question about Andy Coulson, the question that Cameron wouldn't answer, about who had cleared him.
	Right.
	Only one organization, according to our producer, Robert.
	In the UK, all home office government security is carried out by the Defense Vetting Agency.
	That's the Foreign Office and MI6. No one else.
	So it's all inside.
	Yeah.
	Well, that makes sense.
	Why do you guys insist on having him say that, though?
	To open it up?
	I mean, there's warring gangs all over the place.
	The world is not good.
	Pretty heavy-duty warring gangs.
	Yeah, well, the world is not good.
	It's bad stuff.
	There's a lot of money involved.
	Billions and billions of dollars.
	One more from the throwing back to last week.
	You were questioning why Paul Sarbanes of Sarbanes-Oxley, why he was fighting so hard for Cyprus.
	Yeah, somebody says he's Greek.
	Yeah, exactly!
	He's Greek.
	His parents are both Greek.
	So there you go.
	This Cyprus thing still needs to be further explored.
	It's all Russians.
	It's all the money is there.
	It's all the Russian stuff.
	By the way, I've been going to Russian sources to try to dig into this Norway thing.
	I bet you some interesting information crops up shortly.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you know, I can feel that people are like, oh, how come they don't have it all figured out?
	You know, we couldn't have figured anything out about 9-11 on 9-12.
	It just doesn't work that way.
	Yeah, it just happened the other day.
	Yeah, I mean, you know, there's so much disinformation, but make no mistake, the U.S. knew nothing about it.
	That's why Obama didn't show up.
	He gave a short little mention while he was meeting some other dude.
	You know, our heart goes out, whatever.
	And he did reference the fact that he was there and the Norwegian people are so nice and blah, blah, blah.
	Nothing else.
	The fact that the CIA immediately took advantage and told all of their handlers, you know, go propagate Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda.
	Because that's what...
	Everybody.
	Everyone jumped on Al-Qaeda.
	And then it turns out it's not an Al-Qaeda guy.
	And then it's back to the lone wolf.
	So everyone's just taking advantage of it.
	But, you know...
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	Maybe it does have something to do with the Russians.
	But it's definitely not just some crazy dude who writes this manifesto and puts out this nutty video.
	Please.
	And I know it hurts.
	And why is it in English?
	I've talked to some of our contacts in Norway, and they were, well, you know, because it's more universal language, you'll get more people to read it, and I mean, whose side are they on, I mean, to be saying this?
	I thought this was about, you know, it's about the EU, or even it's about the EU, why is it in English?
	I mean, the whole thing is just crazy.
	Yeah, then you pull in the Knights Templar, and the Freemasons, and oh, come on.
	This is like built to make people like Alex Jones go crazy.
	But I think it's a lot simpler.
	But for sure, for sure, for sure, false flag.
	That I'm definitely convinced of.
	Particularly with training exercises, the fact that they're not in the EU and this guy's manifesto was talking about the EU. No way.
	It's very bothersome.
	And I feel bad.
	I feel horrible about what happened.
	You just imagine these kids, man.
	That sucks.
	Yeah, we need some guy who's shooting up the place that's ridiculous.
	But luckily, luckily, we can focus all our attention on Amy Winehouse.
	Well, she got dead.
	You know, the funny thing is, because of all this other cool stuff going on, I don't mean cool in the sense that it's admirable, but these things, I mean cool in the sense that it attracts a lot of media attention.
	She got short-sheeted.
	She got gypped.
	She got totally gypped.
	Well, actually she didn't because she's now a member of the 27 Club.
	So you live on in perpetuity.
	You know about the 27 Club, right?
	All those people who died at the age of 27?
	Yeah, like Kurt Cobain and Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix.
	Lots of good ones.
	All died when they were 27.
	But to me, there's two things.
	One...
	I feel...
	I see all the Twitter messages and everyone...
	And yeah, I loved her music too.
	She was an enormous talent.
	But no one was lying in front of her door saying, Amy, Amy, Amy, I'm such a big fan, I'm going to straighten you out, I'm taking you to rehab.
	I'm taking you to get you fixed.
	It's always like, we love the train wreck, right?
	And I think most people don't know it, but they're sad because the train wreck is over.
	Everyone was laughing just as loud about her crazy antics on stage when she was all messed up.
	It was a part of the whole thing.
	It's a reality show.
	So I feel bad about that.
	And then what I really feel bad about is I do it often.
	I go to the Department of Defense website and I see that another seven young boys and girls got killed in Afghanistan and Iraq this week.
	No one knows their names.
	No one knows what's going on.
	No one gives a crap.
	They're there for senseless wars in the sand and they don't even know why they're there.
	Those people we don't talk about.
	And that just upsets me, because I'm like, how screwed up are we?
	Or, I don't know, a million Iraqis that got killed?
	You know, people in Libya that are being bombed every single day?
	Children that we don't know, we don't care?
	Hold on a second.
	You know what I need?
	I need this one.
	So yeah, I feel bad that we lost a great talent.
	And of course, her new album will be out soon on Universal.
	More dead than alive.
	Absolutely.
	Universal.
	I think Universal will now win the bid to take over EMI. Because they just announced that.
	They're fighting.
	It's KKR versus Universal, I think.
	And they're both coming out with their bids this week.
	So now we know that Universal will have an extra little bump in income from the back catalog and the new album.
	So it dismays me.
	It really does.
	I'm very upset about how screwed up we are as a society, what's important.
	So let's get to some clips.
	Go for it.
	I got one here.
	Are you familiar with the comedian Tracy Jordan?
	Yeah, he's from Tracy Morgan.
	Is it Tracy Morgan?
	Yeah, he's from 30 Rock.
	Yeah, and he's been around for a while.
	Listen to the Tracy Morgan clip where he's on with Justice Napolitano, and he's just babbling about something.
	And tell me if you can make heads or tails of it.
	The richness that is in the Old and the New Testament to share in this sacrifice.
	And sacrifice is what it is.
	Have you seen him on 30 Rock?
	Have you seen the show?
	Because he's not acting, apparently.
	Yeah.
	So, that wasn't Tracy Jordan.
	Or Tracy Morgan.
	It wasn't?
	Who was that?
	Play it again and see if you can figure it out.
	Oh, this was a trick.
	The richness that is in the Old and the New Testament to share in this sacrifice.
	And sacrifice is what it is.
	How many Democrats...
	What's that congressman's name again?
	That's probably a politician.
	Yes, what's his name?
	That squeaky voice congressman from New York.
	Who is...
	Let me hear it again.
	Unfortunately, I'm thinking Tracy Morgan so much I can't think of his name.
	Well, the joke is not good if you can't give me the real guy's name.
	No, I just blew the punchline.
	I'm realizing that as we speak.
	You suck!
	The richness that is in the Old and the New Testament to share in this sacrifice.
	Charlie Rangel.
	This is what it is!
	This is what it is!
	Hello, Ms.
	Lemon!
	It's like Tracy Morgan.
	Hello, Ms.
	Lemon!
	It's the way in the Old and New Testament.
	It's either my daughter or Buzzkill Jr.
	that noticed this.
	You listen to this guy.
	But he was drunk.
	No, of course.
	All these guys are drunk.
	It's hilarious.
	That's great.
	After 5 o'clock, these guys are plastered.
	I love it.
	That's great.
	Charlie Rangel.
	You know who else was drunk?
	Tom Coburn was drunk.
	Oh, he was totally...
	He was shit-faced.
	So, Obama, our president, comes out with his podcast.
	The Obama podcast.
	Obamacast.
	And he said something, you know, words matter to me, so when something says something, I go and check it out.
	So he's talking about how awesome Tom Coburn is.
	That's the heart of this approach.
	Yes.
	Serious cuts, balanced by some new revenues.
	And it's been the position of every Democratic and Republican leader who has worked to reduce the deficit, from Bill Clinton to Ronald Reagan.
	In fact, earlier this week, one of the most conservative members of the Senate, Tom Coburn, announced his support for a balanced, bipartisan plan that shows promise.
	And then a funny thing happened.
	He received a round of applause from a group of Republican and Democratic senators.
	That's a rare event in Washington.
	So there will be plenty of haggling over the details in the days ahead.
	But this debate boils down to a simple choice.
	Yeah.
	So I go on cspan.com and I go looking because I want to see this applause.
	I think that's interesting.
	Don't just tell me that, President.
	I'm going to go look it up.
	Well, if anyone can find it for me, then please define me.
	Because the guy goes on for like 40 minutes.
	He's got his charts.
	He's got all his stuff out there.
	And let me play the beginning of his...
	The guy is confused.
	And he's talking about having a debate about, what is it called now?
	Cap, cover, and duck?
	Cap, cover, and duck.
	Cap, cover, and duck.
	That's what we're calling it.
	Now, I saw the...
	I tried to watch this.
	I saw it on real time, and I... I found it was just like, oh, you know, I had to find something else to watch.
	Yeah, how sad are our lives?
	Like, I'm in an RV rolling through the beautiful countryside of America, and I'm watching this guy.
	You're at home in the beautiful northern Silicon Valley watching it real time.
	Listen to what he says, though.
	I mean, the guy is a total douchette.
	So come Saturday morning, when members of the Senate vote against proceeding...
	So...
	Did you hear what he just said?
	He says, come Saturday morning, when members of the Senate vote against...
	It's like, does he already know the outcome?
	Apparently, it's rigged.
	I mean, he's literally...
	I think he means to say when we vote about...
	No, no, I saw what he said.
	He says, literally, when we vote against it, members of the Senate will vote against it.
	Colleague from Delaware.
	Oops, sorry.
	This one.
	Here we go.
	So, come Saturday morning...
	When members of the Senate vote against proceeding to cut cap and balance.
	So I guess he knows the outcome.
	They will display either courage or cowardice.
	And I'm not talking about simple words.
	There's only one plan that has passed the House of Representatives That raises the debt limit and addresses what is said to be needed by the rating agencies.
	And that's cut captive balance.
	And not to allow a vote...
	To proceed, not to allow proceeding to that debate.
	What?
	Yeah, exactly.
	I'm listening to this guy, I'm like, what?
	He doesn't know what he's saying.
	Play that little bit again where he's just making no sense.
	Sounds like Tracy Jordan.
	Past the House of Representatives that raises the debt limit and addresses what is said to be needed by the rating agencies.
	Ah, okay.
	The only thing he's saying, and this is what caught me, the only thing this vote is about is what is needed by the rating agencies.
	Isn't that about you and I? He doesn't care about you.
	He doesn't care about me.
	No, no, actually, this is about you and I, because you're the one that predicted...
	You watch.
	I'm still predicting it.
	We're still going to get it down.
	I already got it down twice.
	I'm not putting it in the book.
	All right.
	Coburn.
	Coburn.
	If you're listening to the show, get the script right.
	It's the House of Representatives that raises the debt limit and addresses what is said to be needed by the rating agency.
	Addresses what is said to be needed.
	I mean, it's so much bull crap.
	And this guy is a total...
	Egghead.
	So let me play you the last 30 seconds of this fantastic, this enormous, and please, if the applause happens somewhere else, please find the clip for me, because this is what I got.
	A colleague from Delaware, one of my great friends, and you hear that said a lot here, but he is a great friend.
	It's not the conventional, just common greeting, and I believe I'm over my time.
	I will be back to the floor to finish this conversation.
	But America needs to know.
	We don't have any problem we can't fix.
	What we lack is leaders who will fix it.
	That's our deficit.
	It's a deficit of courage.
	It's a deficit of will.
	And with that, I yield the floor.
	And he throws down his mic.
	A smattering of applause.
	I don't hear it.
	I did hear very clearly what he meant to say, though.
	A little interview with Russia Today, where he explains very clearly what this is all about.
	Well, it goes across.
	There's $80 billion in the Defense Department.
	I can't remember the breakdown of each of them, but it comes to $500 billion.
	But what specific programs?
	What do the American people need to know?
	They haven't put that in.
	In fact, Senator Coburn says they could cut up to $5 trillion from the federal budget, and Americans wouldn't feel it at all.
	The last time they made cuts, almost $38 billion, here's the list.
	It's food for women and children.
	It's helping the poor keep their homes.
	It's environmental protection.
	It's a really long list.
	The point is, where's the efficiency in that?
	The actual service going to people isn't going to decline.
	The people sucking off the program are going to be the ones that lose.
	There you go.
	If you're sucking off the program, if you're one of the people sucking off the program, you're a-losing.
	You know, like welfare moms.
	Hey, you're sucking off the program.
	You lose.
	That guy's an idiot.
	Well, I was catching, I've watched the hearings on, they have three new guys, an Army guy, a Navy guy, and an Air Force guy.
	They're going to be moving into the Joint Chiefs of Staff office, including the new head of the Army, the new assistant to Mullen and someone else.
	So they were grilling them in front of the Senate, and the Senate was.
	And it was just a boat.
	These guys have already been picked.
	They're hand-picked, right?
	Yeah.
	And they're already in.
	But we get to watch this grilling, which is not even a grilling.
	It's basically letting somebody know what's really going to happen over the next few years, including, obviously, the path to Persia.
	Uh-huh.
	By asking bullcrap leading questions.
	And let me just play a couple of these clips.
	Let's start with Lieberman, who's hinting about Iran with questions that are...
	He's not even asking questions.
	He's giving a speech and the guy has to agree with.
	Your career as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs, I wanted to ask you to comment...
	Do you agree with Secretary Panetta and Admiral Mullen about this behavior by Iran?
	Yes, sir.
	I absolutely agree with it.
	And I would not want to take away any options or anything like that, but I would say that they are testing our patience, to be sure.
	And we always would use force as a last resort.
	There are plenty of instruments of national power that can be applied, but it's a very serious problem, and I fully support what Secretary Panetta and Chairman Mullen said about it.
	Well, I thank you for your statement, and I don't have to say to any of you, because you've been on the battlefield and you know how important it is, but we've now escalated our identification of what the Iranians are doing.
	And I think if they don't stop, our credibility with them and a lot of others in the region, if not the world, is going to go down if we don't do something about it.
	You know what's interesting?
	If you watch enough C-SPAN, you catch on to this.
	About all of these congressional and Senate testimony hearings, all of these guys on the dais, they all pontificate and they're trying to get the soundbite, right?
	Because they know that someone's recording it somewhere.
	And they say these things and all the witness really has to do, if they're a friendly witness, which is the way it is 99% of the time, they just say, well, yes, that's absolutely correct, sir.
	Yeah, that's what they say.
	In fact, here's Lindsey Graham kind of heading in the same direction trying to set up.
	He doesn't even let the guy really answer.
	He just continues going on.
	But again, path to Persia.
	This is a, you know, we're going to attack Iran.
	Certainly, I believe, slowed them down, but there's more pressure, I think, that could be and probably should be applied eventually.
	In terms of the threats we face in the future, if Iran acquired a nuclear capability, what kind of threat and what would be the likely consequences of that event to our national security?
	I think it would be grave if they acquired a nuclear weapon and the ability to deliver it.
	Right.
	And of course we need to watch that very, very carefully and pace that so that we can...
	And that takes us to missile defense and other And to suppress the Iranian nuclear threat would require some pretty sophisticated military capability.
	Do you agree with that?
	Yes, sir.
	That the idea of attacking Iran with a single strike and neutering their nuclear capability, if the President chose to do that, is probably not going to happen.
	It'd be a more sustained effort if that...
	Oh, man.
	I would not want to rule anything out, Senator, at this point.
	That's why F-35s and F-22s become important, is that correct?
	The F-35 and the F-22 certainly represent a very important capability.
	That's why air refueling capability becomes important.
	That's why bases in the region become important.
	So the reason I ask these questions is to get to what kind of threats the nation faces.
	I'm speechless.
	I'm speechless.
	It gets better.
	Oh, no.
	Now, Lindsey Graham, this is the one I think they're going to...
	This is a meme that I expect to see pulled out, which is that our military, we're not really spending that much on military.
	No, not at all.
	So play Lindsey Graham on the GDP defense spending game he plays with the guy from the Navy.
	Let me guess, this is a game of the shell where you don't know where the marble is?
	You'll see.
	So my question for all of you, is it fair to use GDP spending on defense as a guide to what's sufficient?
	Is that a good measuring device?
	Senator, I think it's an indicator, a comparative indicator, but it's also very often comparing apples to oranges.
	I mean, if you look at what we spent as a percentage of GBT in World War II, it doesn't even compare to what we're spending now.
	Secretary Gates identified GDP as a benchmark for defense spending.
	I associate myself with that.
	And when you look at World War II spending, you're right.
	We went up to 42% at the height of the war of GDP. Korea was 8.23 to 13.
	Vietnam was 7.65 to 10.8.
	In 2010, we're spending 5.78% of our GDP on defense.
	So if you believe it is a benchmark, would you agree that's on the low end of conflicts in recent memory?
	I would say factually it is on the low end GDP-wise.
	Why?
	Would you agree that we have never spent so little money on killing brown people in the sand?
	I mean, we got them drones.
	They don't take no pilots.
	We got them Hellfire missiles.
	You don't even have to aim them.
	It costs nothing to do it.
	It's cheap.
	Cheap, cheap, cheap, I tell you.
	We just kill people.
	We need to spend more.
	I think we should be spending more.
	You know what?
	You know what?
	We need to go kill some more people.
	Where can we...
	How about Iran?
	We could...
	One missile...
	What?
	We're spending half as much as we did in Vietnam, so we have to double how much we're spending.
	Basically, this is just a setup for a huge public scam.
	And they're going to try to keep pointing out this.
	This is a World War II thing.
	Now, these numbers, I think, are somewhat bogus.
	In fact, the Navy guy is very good at kind of, you know, giving these vague answers that is kind of in agreement, but not completely...
	And I was very interested in him.
	But let's play another one, which is...
	There's one I missed, unfortunately.
	McCain.
	Well, I do have the McCain one.
	This is a little different.
	This is McCain showboating, basically, that he's a tough question.
	I was watching this saying, why is this weird to me?
	And I realized that McCain, who's a softballer, never says anything that's important.
	He never really drills down on anyone.
	But he's drilling down on this guy who's already pre-approved.
	So now that the guy is already in, this Army guy, this may be the Air Force guy, he decides to get tough.
	Yeah.
	And he drills down on the air.
	But it's bull crap.
	This is a complete fraud interview.
	He just makes the guy answer, you know, you'll see.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Chairman.
	General Frazier, to follow up on Chairman Levin's question about what would happen if Pakistan cut off the supply routes, what percent of our logistics now goes through Pakistan?
	70.
	It's my understanding that approximately 35 percent moves through the ground, and the others moving through the northern distribution network, coupled with also lift as we bring in supplies by air.
	If you have to...
	How long would it take you to make up for that 35%?
	Suppose tomorrow Pakistan shut off those supply routes.
	How long would it take you to adjust to keep the same level of logistics into Afghanistan?
	Sir, if confirmed, I'll certainly delve deeply into that.
	I have not learned the details of that.
	It can't be right away.
	You know that much about it.
	Yes, sir.
	So there would be a period of time where we would not have the normal logistics supply.
	Sir, in my visits to the theater, I see the stocks are up.
	Is that true or false?
	Is that true or false?
	There would be a period where we would not...
	He's on the same side and he's dogging the guy.
	Yeah.
	What is the point?
	He's showing he's tough!
	No, hold on a second.
	Bullshit!
	He's a horrible man.
	A horrible man.
	Wait a minute.
	He's almost as bad...
	You want me to play the rest of this clip?
	Yeah, because you're going to get one more example.
	Just to prove it.
	Be able to maintain the same level of supply.
	That's true.
	And if we have to use airlift, airlift is approximately four or five times as expensive as the present mode of ground transportation, right?
	Sir, we are doing everything we can to reduce the cost through the intermobile.
	Is it true that it's three or four or five times more expensive to use air to carry these logistics than the present mode of overland?
	Sir, I will delve deeply into those cost figures.
	I don't have them off the top of my head.
	It is more expensive to go by air.
	Thank you.
	By the way, what's funny with both McCain and Lindsey Graham, they do their little showboat thing, and then they bail.
	Yeah, we're out.
	At the end of the hearing, there's just the one guy, 11.
	Yeah, they're just coming for the media exposure.
	Yeah, he's just sitting there by himself.
	So then we have...
	Spokeshole Carney.
	Oh, yeah.
	This was a great one.
	Jay Carney, who looks like...
	He looks like a lawyer.
	And I have nothing against lawyers, but he kind of looks like James Spader-type lawyer, like a real shyster.
	Anything?
	He actually does look like a Hollywood actor.
	Yeah, he does.
	He does look like an actor.
	There you go.
	That's better.
	He says something unbelievable.
	Just unbelievable.
	Two things remain...
	Uncontestably true.
	Now when you hear that, when I hear someone say, something remains uncontestably true, my ears perk up.
	Oh really?
	Tell us, what is it, James?
	The economy is vastly improved from what it was when Barack Obama was sworn into office as president.
	What?
	Have you ever taken an RV tour through America, Mr.
	Carney?
	Are you kidding me?
	It is vastly improved.
	Vastly.
	It's never been this good.
	In economic freefall, there were predictions that we were headed to the Second Great Depression.
	Yeah, predictions.
	We were losing up to over 700,000 jobs a month.
	We were contracting at greater than 6%, our economy-wise.
	Uh-huh.
	So the economy has improved.
	It has not improved.
	And the guy's like, hey, hey, hey!
	And she just talks right over him.
	Well, there's no question that we face headwinds, and the president has been very direct about that, and we need to do everything we can.
	It gets better, it gets better.
	Headwinds.
	Hey, John, do you feel that?
	That's not your wallet empty.
	That's just a headwind.
	It's just a little headwind.
	Shut up and live the American dream of just getting by.
	Across the front to ensure that we're doing what we can to spur growth, spur job creation.
	Part of that is doing The work he's doing this week and last week and probably next week.
	Now, what do you think our president does about our economy?
	He said it himself many times, and of course, Spokeshole is privy to all the scripts.
	No, not...
	Well, yeah, that too.
	...to try to achieve a significant deficit reduction deal with Congress that does not restrain growth.
	Does not undermine the recovery that we have, but strengthens it and allows us to continue to invest in the key areas that will allow us to grow and create jobs.
	But what remains obvious to him and to everyone is that this economy is nowhere near where it needs to be.
	That's why he is focused every day.
	He wakes up every day and goes to sleep every night thinking about the fact that he will not rest, he will not cease in his efforts to grow the economy and create jobs until he knows that every American is looking for a job.
	That's what he does.
	He gets up every day and goes to bed every day.
	And he thinks about us.
	I really appreciate it.
	Unbelievable.
	Really, really unbelievable.
	I found that other clip I wanted to play before we go off the topic completely.
	This was also another show kind of indicator of what we can expect besides the path to Persia insofar as our future is concerned.
	And this is a woman who is a senator from New Hampshire named Kelly Ayotte or something such thing, A-Y-O-T-T. And she is like a Republican hawk of the worst kind.
	Essentially, she's a senator...
	Basically making these new guys say that we not only need Gitmo, but we might even need another Gitmo.
	And this is kind of all the indication we need that Obama's promise to shut down Gitmo is never going to happen.
	Keep us safe.
	Admiral Winnefeld, if confirmed to be the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, you will have a very important role in advising the Chairman, the Secretary of Defense, and the President regarding a variety of the Department of Defense policies.
	In your written testimony, you discussed al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, as well as al-Shabaab, and you called al-Qaeda a growing threat to our homeland, and noted that al-Shabaab is planning to conduct attacks against United States interests in East Africa.
	During the hearing on June 28th, I had the opportunity to ask Vice Admiral McRaven, If it would be helpful, ten years into the war on terror, to have a designated long-term detention and interrogation facility for terrorists from groups like al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and al-Shabaab.
	He said that he thought it would be very helpful.
	What is your opinion about that?
	I would share, I think, both Secretary Panetta's and Bill's opinion on that, that it would be helpful to have a long-term detention facility.
	Yeah.
	It's because of the shish kebab.
	The shish kebab, these shish kebab guys are scary.
	We need a long-term detention facility.
	For the shish kebabs.
	El Shabab.
	El Shabab.
	Yeah, I've noticed that too.
	I've noticed that.
	Meanwhile, Lucifer is building her own private army.
	The State Department is building a 5,500 man and perhaps woman strong army of contractors set to take over and provide security.
	After the U.S. military leaves in Iraq for that huge shopping mall we've built, known as the Embassy.
	However, it is kind of interesting that the State Department is withholding information.
	There's been several FOIA requests, and they're just not answering it.
	They're just not saying anything.
	So we get our troops out, but then we turn around and we take the same amount of money, if not more, and we go and hire Z and other contractors like that to trigger happy guys to stand around and shoot people when they get too close.
	We just...
	I'm so sad, man.
	We're just, we're a bunch of warmongering crazies.
	Well, that's, yeah, ever since World War I, we've, uh, obviously, we seem to be a trigger happy.
	Someone should do something about that.
	Eh, eh, what difference?
	It's too late.
	We just have to, you know, figure out how to stay out of the way.
	You know, Nico had a pretty good eye.
	He said, you know, the way we take back control for ourselves is we start with the food.
	Food is how we're going to be controlled at the end.
	And I think you and I have followed the Codex Alimentarius closely enough to know that that is actually happening.
	And growing our own food and finding ways to share it and to sell it to each other is much more important than anything else we can do.
	I gotta tell you, there's a lot of unhealthy human resources in this country, boy.
	Well, especially down in the South.
	Yeah.
	Where if you actually go to a grocery store down there, you could really eat well in the South.
	I mean, they have more fruits and vegetables, especially in Florida than Georgia.
	Actually, Alabama, too.
	I mean, you can do well, but people just seem to want to eat just pork fat.
	So we have a little Bay Area news I might want to run by.
	This is a classic San Francisco.
	You're missing San Francisco.
	Yeah, I'm missing it real bad.
	Yeah.
	Check this out.
	Play this Bay Area news and tell me what you think.
	There's another developing story tonight.
	A new revelation in a controversial police shooting.
	San Francisco police now say they did not fire the fatal bullet that killed 19-year-old Kenneth Harding.
	In fact, he might have shot himself.
	But there's a big mystery.
	Where's the gun?
	Wait a minute.
	Who is this?
	Some guy.
	There was like a Hunter's Point shooting.
	There was a shootout.
	And so they finally decided that this guy shot himself, but they can't find the gun.
	This is how I'll go out.
	This is classic.
	Curry shot himself without a gun.
	Yeah, without a gun.
	He shot himself without a gun.
	So this has become a big scandal locally.
	And everyone's moaning and groaning about it.
	And now they seem to have phonied up some photo.
	Now the claim is, well, he did have a gun, he shot himself, and the gun flew out of his hand after he shot himself, and then it landed somewhere nearby, and somebody picked the gun up and ran off with it because they're looking for free guns on the street.
	But it was cordoned off, so it seemed unlike, because there was a big shootout.
	Who's going to be around this area, right?
	There's people shooting at each other, this guy's shooting there, shooting him or whatever.
	Nobody's going to be hanging around, but you'd be out of there, right?
	Yeah.
	I believe they phonied up.
	They finally came up with a photo that shows the dead guy there.
	With a Photoshop gun in his hand.
	A Photoshop gun on the ground nearby that disappeared.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's administrative truth.
	It's great.
	I love it.
	Hey, I think we were both very wrong on one thing, though.
	And this is surprising to me.
	Don't ask.
	Don't tell.
	Certified.
	Don't Ask, Don't Tell certified?
	Yeah, it's been certified.
	So in 60 days from now, the repeal act of Don't Ask, Don't Tell goes into effect.
	And if you're gay, then you can let everyone know about it.
	And you can get into the army if you're known to be gay or bisexual.
	Or in the military, I should say.
	You know, just for, I hate to say I had a brain fart, but just for a second there, I was thinking, see something, say something.
	No.
	Too many of these things to keep track of.
	Yeah, and I'm surprised.
	It's been certified, so they're going to go ahead with it, and they're actually going to do it?
	Well, so it kind of...
	It kind of shows that I was on the right track when we played the woman from San Mateo who was telling all these horrible tales of sexual abuse on the last show.
	I think that was trying to say that the military is not ready for this change.
	But everyone signed off on it.
	The president didn't hear much about it because there was so much other news.
	Maybe also the timing of that may have been coincidental.
	It was like, oh, let's sign this real quick.
	But yeah, so now the 60-day clock starts.
	So either one of two things happens.
	Either something happens.
	And I'm not sure...
	I never quite understood why we had to have the 60 days.
	Is that like so we can...
	If we don't like that we did it, we can make something else happen?
	I think it's just to protect themselves from a lawsuit because they make sure all the ducks are in a row so some one guy doesn't hear about it on time or he didn't know that this thing had passed.
	They didn't give him enough time and he...
	Got something bad happening because of it.
	I think that's the only reason.
	I think it's just a CYA situation.
	Make sure everyone's got 60 days to get everyone gets the word.
	Right.
	So now Section 10 of, was it, U.S. Code 654 gets stricken from the record.
	Actually, I'd never really gone back and read all of that Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
	Man, that's pretty horrible what's in there.
	It literally says because the military can't have anything go wrong, they have their own laws.
	And it was funny as I was reading it.
	So this is the original Don't Ask, Don't Tell law.
	Which, to me, is very interesting, because if I had read this earlier, I would have said something about it.
	A member of the Armed Forces shall be separated from the Armed Forces under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense if one or more of the following findings is made and approved in accordance with proceedings set forth in such regulations.
	That the member has engaged in, attempted to engage in, or solicited another to engage in a homosexual act or acts unless there are further findings made and approved in accordance with procedures set forth in such regulations, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	So basically they're saying, if you show or intend to show homosexual tendencies, you're out, unless, and it was easy to get out of it, because you say, unless such conduct is a departure from the member's usual and customary behavior, in other words, I just got really horny, it didn't matter, such conduct under all circumstances is unlikely to recur, like, oh man, it only happened once, I won't do it again.
	Well, actually, I think that part is in there for the reason that, you know, somebody's in the military, he's not gay, and he all of a sudden decides he doesn't want to get shipped to Iraq for the tenth time, so he starts acting different.
	Oh, like the, uh, it's the Clinger Law.
	Yeah, it's like, oh, no, I'm gay!
	Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	Now, of course, this does not affect their DOMA status.
	So it's okay if you're gay, but you're not going to get your benefits for your same-sex spouse.
	So that'll be next on the menu.
	But I am absolutely surprised and proven wrong.
	I really thought it would never happen.
	Well, let's see.
	We've still got 60 days to go.
	So, I'm happy for anybody who is, you know, is like, yay, I can't wait to go to Iraq!
	But, so I'm happy about that.
	We'll see.
	It's not done yet.
	We'll see.
	I'm just, aren't you surprised?
	I was just like, wow, I did not expect that at all.
	I'm not surprised until it actually goes into play.
	Well, we'll see.
	I'm still holding out.
	I'm not buying it.
	So the shills of the week have to be Cornel West and Tavis Smiley.
	Did you know these guys have a show?
	They do a show together?
	Together?
	Yeah.
	It's called the Smiley and West radio show.
	Oh, I didn't know that because I know Smiley is on the nation's treasure.
	Yeah, national treasure.
	And West shows up on all kinds of talk, Fox and CNBC and everything in between.
	And I like Wes because he's kooky.
	He sounds like, to me, he sounds like an idiot and smiley.
	No offense to these guys.
	But he sounds like an idiot and Tavis Smiley sounds like a pretentious jerk.
	With that phony baloney.
	Well, yeah.
	No, they're both phonies.
	And they show up on Pierce Morgan.
	Morgan.
	And...
	And I'm watching this, and I'm like, okay, West is really doing it for me, because he doesn't make the statement himself, but Piers Morgan reads the statement from West about President Obama.
	This is co-host on the radio show, Smiley and West, Cornel West.
	Cornel, welcome!
	Blessing to be here.
	Nice to see you.
	Always a blessing to be on with Brother Tim.
	That's really over-modulated, sorry.
	Now listen, you were a big supporter of President Obama.
	Absolutely.
	But you've also said this recently.
	You described him as the black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats, and now he has become head of the American Killing Machine, and he's proud of it.
	Pretty strong words.
	You stand by those words?
	Oh, I believe it.
	I believe it.
	I support it, my dear brother Barack Obama, because I wanted to bring an end to the age of Reagan.
	Greed running amok at the top, indifference to poor people, and highly polarized body politic.
	So he says, I'm sorry about the over-modulation, I didn't realize that.
	So he says pretty strong words, right?
	I'm like, okay, this is good.
	Here we've got this crazy guy, and he's a professor.
	I think he's very smart.
	He's written some interesting documents.
	And he says, you know, Obama's basically the puppet of Wall Street.
	I'm like, okay, there you go, that's nice.
	And then, so what are you doing about it?
	Well, by the way, we have to start talking like this.
	I think we should be doing like, hey, Brother John?
	Brother John?
	Yes?
	Brother Adam?
	Because apparently it gets you a bus tour sponsored by all kinds of dubious organizations.
	We announced this poverty tour.
	Starting August the 6th, we are getting on a bus.
	It's called the Poverty Tour, A Call to Conscience.
	The Poverty Tour, A Call to Conscience.
	What's the idea?
	The idea is to get on this bus and...
	Now I can't hear it.
	Yeah, I can hear it, but it's overmodulated.
	Big cities and small towns, starting with Native Americans and African Americans and Hispanics and white males and white women, children and seniors and homeless veterans all across this country in 15 different cities.
	We're going to raise the issue of poverty.
	We're going to talk to those persons who are battling it, who are struggling, those who've lost their homes, those who don't have jobs, those who are struggling to get an education.
	We want to use this date, this week of August the 6th through the 12th to put as much attention, as much focus, as much spotlight as we can on raising the issue of poverty in America higher on the agenda.
	So can you hear that?
	Can you hear what they're saying?
	Yeah, they're going to do something like something Clinton would do.
	It sounds like they're setting up a way of collecting money.
	Exactly.
	And they're collecting it primarily for themselves.
	It's the poverty tour.
	It's six whole days.
	Hey, you want a poverty tour?
	Get an RV, douchebag.
	That's a poverty tour.
	You want to go visit some people who are just getting by?
	They can do six days in a luxury bus.
	And it's completely paid for.
	Listen.
	Well, somebody's got to use that Palin bus.
	Now that she's back at home.
	Yeah, really, really.
	That we're about to embark upon.
	Somebody has to stand up and defend and fight for and not be afraid to talk about the plight of the poor in this country.
	This issue is starting to get a lot more trash in this country.
	We're delighted that this tour is bringing in other persons who believe as we believe.
	This issue's got to be higher on the agenda.
	The NEA's supporting us on this.
	The AARP Foundation's supporting us on this.
	And every day...
	The NEA, the AARP, it's completely sponsored, they're complete shills, and that really shows up when Pierce Morgan says, okay, I'm going to put a gun to your head, which I thought was pretty funny, and you have to choose a Republican candidate for president.
	So guys, come on.
	The metaphorical gun is at your head.
	You've got to vote for one Republican nominee as things stand.
	Since I don't see anybody yet on the Republican side who cares enough about poor and working people, I literally would just put the names on the wall and throw a dart.
	And wherever we hit, that's good.
	I don't see a difference, honestly.
	Go now.
	Be more specific.
	There must be one who's least present.
	There's not one.
	Use the legacy of Martin King.
	He said we need a qualitative shift in ourselves and a quantitative shift in our circumstances.
	Puts the stress on poor and weak working people.
	I don't see one Republican anywhere near that.
	The problem is the Democrats hardly have any...
	I don't know what he said, but I know that...
	Why couldn't either of them said Ron Paul?
	Couldn't either of them said Gary Johnson?
	I mean, is that so far...
	those guys don't have the poor and all Americans best at heart?
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	I mean, you know, if they're...
	It's like they're part of the whole scheme to marginalize Ron Paul, Johnson, and the guys who make more sense than these other stooges.
	I mean, I'm not big on most Democrats, but I'll certainly...
	Kucinich is a good guy.
	You know, Kucinich has some really interesting things to say.
	Yeah, no, I agree.
	In fact, here's Kucinich from C-SPAN. He's recognized for one minute.
	The latest attack on elderly beneficiaries of Social Security is a scheme by which seniors' cost-of-living benefits would be cut through something called a chained consumer price index.
	The CPI, chained, involves a formula which recalculates the cost of living.
	The theory behind the change CPI is that as the cost of living goes up, consumers, in this case seniors, buy cheaper products.
	For example, if poor seniors cannot afford to buy and eat steak, but can only afford to buy and eat cheaper cat food, The cost of living benefit would be chained to the cost of the cat food because it's cheaper than steak.
	And as a result, seniors will see their cost of living benefit reduced to the cheaper product and get a smaller Social Security check.
	The chained CPI sets up seniors for reduced standard of living.
	If you must afford less, you get less Social Security benefits.
	The chained CPI, chaining seniors to poverty.
	Time to break those chains.
	I like it.
	What is this?
	I never even heard of this scam.
	Yeah, well, now that I understand it, it's awesome.
	Cat food for everybody.
	It's the American dream.
	Huh.
	That's interesting.
	The Chained Consumer Price Index.
	Buzzkill Jr.
	noticed that ShadowStats is discussing this in that newsletter that I like to recommend if people can afford it.
	ShadowStats is an operation out of San Francisco that takes a look at real numbers as opposed to government bullcrap numbers and they're the ones who say we're at about a 22.5% unemployment rate in reality.
	Oh yeah.
	Which I'm sure you're seeing now when you're floating around.
	Oh, let me tell you.
	And what's interesting is here in the South, everyone talks about the bus like it was this huge event.
	You don't hear that in California, necessarily.
	You know, the way it's talked about down here, after the bust, after the bust, we got our good buddy here, our Hot Pox 2008 producer.
	He had to move to the other side of the state to work at Cape Canaveral.
	He's in construction.
	Hello.
	So he's really lucky that he's got some construction over there.
	And he's been through, so he has a house here and he's been unable to sell his house.
	And he's come very close twice.
	Once the woman lost her job, so he couldn't close then.
	Then he had a two-month closing.
	It was through a government program.
	Then they found out that because the house had a pool...
	And by the way, a pool here, it's not like a luxury.
	It's not like Beverly Hills.
	It's like you get a pool so you can not die in the heat.
	But then all of a sudden, oh no, all beds are off.
	That's a luxury home because it has a pool.
	The poor guy can't sell his house.
	Chad.
	Huh.
	You know, so he's paying rent, he's paying mortgage.
	No, it's bad down here.
	It's bad.
	You know, I wouldn't mind seeing Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich together.
	We could call it the, you know, the kooky party.
	Yeah, that would be the way it would be described by the media.
	That's why I'm saying it.
	But boy, something would get done, I tell you that.
	Yeah, no, that's absolutely true.
	So anyway, so these two shills...
	No, we don't know anybody.
	No, I have no idea.
	No one talking any sense on the Republican Party.
	No one talking any sense on the Republican Party.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Yeah, on your agenda in the morning.
	Poor John, man.
	I know you're getting towards that age when you're thinking, hey, hold on a minute.
	I'm going to be eating cat food.
	Eating cat food.
	It's the new normal.
	They're going to say, hey, that's what you can afford.
	That's what we're paying for.
	That's right.
	What kind of logic is this?
	Cat food is the new filet mignon.
	I can't afford to eat anything.
	Okay, we'll give you no money.
	Well, I can afford to eat cat food.
	Well, good.
	That's the new standard.
	Here's your cat food.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	I never heard of this.
	This is a total scam.
	Well, yeah.
	Duh.
	And of course, who else but Kucinich would bring it up?
	Everyone else just goes along with it.
	William Arcand, we want to thank him.
	Black Knight Bill from Dracot, Massachusetts, $133.
	Robert Simpson came in with $111.11 from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
	Marc-Philippe Russi from Saint-Hubert, Quebec.
	In the morning, and he came up with $100, ITM, John and Adam, the karma I received in September paid off!
	Yay!
	And I landed an amazing job in February, and I've been overdue to make another donation.

	Devil that goes on a dime.
	Raymond...
	Oh man, he sent me a note.

	I think it's Kuzera, something like that.
	He sent a note with the pronunciation from Clarkston, Michigan.

	Raymond, another, this is weird, you have another Raymond right after him.
	Came in at the same time for $55.

	Arthur Kessler in Acme, Alberta, $50.
	John Lake, Sacramento, California.
	Mike Bernstein in Bettendorf, Iowa.

	Paul Vela, Tauchester, North Hampshire.
	No, it's Tauchester Northamptonshire.
	Hamptonshire.
	Also in the UK. You know, what am I supposed to do?
	It's like Worcestershire sauce.
	It's the only thing you have to do.
	It's the only thing you have to do.
	Yeah, well you try it.
	Okay, good.
	You produce the show.
	You do the show notes.
	If I produce the show, you'd be getting a lot more of this and you know you wouldn't like it.
	Oh, wow.
	Low blow.
	You know you wouldn't like it.
	Okay, so that's it.
	And that's our group for producers for today, and we appreciate every one of them for donating.
	All the people who donate $33.33 and onward, down to the...
	We still have a few people on the old $2 plan that have hung in there.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I have a couple of karma mentions.
	First of all, John, I don't know if he wants his name really mentioned, but he actually does.
	John Little here.
	Hope you and Miss Mickey are enjoying the tour.
	I'm entering a 28-day outpatient alcohol and prescription drug rehab on Monday.
	Could you some karma?
	I don't mind if you mention the reason why.
	I'm not ashamed.
	Maybe someone here will hear it and take stock of themselves.
	So I definitely want to give you some karma, my friend.
	You've got karma.
	Good luck with that.
	Hey, Adam and John, I was listening to No Agenda for last Thursday.
	Heard that there was only one producer-level donor and felt terrible for you guys.
	Wanted to encourage you in your plight and against the New World Order.
	I've signed up for $5 a month.
	I'm a student paying my own way through college.
	That's right, my friend.
	Have countless expenses that are going to come due at the end of the summer, but I value what the No Agenda show stands for.
	I feel I've been mooching for too long.
	I started listening for two years, and I love the show.
	That is Alex McKenzie.
	Thank you very much.
	Gents, Paul V. from Gitmo East.
	Seems to me as the summer approaches, I should do my bit to make up for the shortfall in donations.
	And it is true, the summer is very, very difficult for all things internet.
	With that in mind, I've increased my monthly giving level from $30 to $50.
	That's $50 a month.
	I really appreciate what Paul is doing here.
	As a No Agenda listener since Episode 1, the value of No Agenda was reinforced last week when I took the kids to the movies.
	Two adults and two children cost £38, around $60, before popcorn and a bucket of aspartame.
	It's pretty obvious that 16 hours per month of No Agenda is a heck of a lot more entertaining than Harry frickin' Potter or the latest 3D animation.
	And whilst I could be a freeloading boner, that isn't me.
	If it's good, I pay for it.
	I look at No Agenda as a sort of insurance policy against media brainwashing.
	So far, it's been working.
	Keep up the good work, guys.
	Thank you so much.
	And finally, Dr.
	Ray Kuzera.
	Here's the note.
	I've been listening for over a year, decided it was time to stop being a feminine hygiene washing sack.
	That's sticking, by the way.
	We need a jingle.
	Feminine hygiene washing sack!
	And I'm joining the mighty 1%ers.
	You guys are my go-to source for all the news fit to listen to.
	Hope you stop by lovely Clarkston on the Hot Pockets 2008 tour.
	Enjoy a big can of Labatt's ice with me and my beautiful wife.
	We'll fill up the tank on the van.
	Yeah, it's an RV, but not much bigger than a van.
	And provide blankets or water.
	Your choice, if you do.
	Please have my donation of double nickels and a dime.
	So we thank everyone there for...
	For doing that.
	And we have a make good, Ian D. Larson.
	He wanted to send out karma to all the producers and listeners out there who have lost friends and family due to suicide.
	So here's some massive karma for all those people I just mentioned.
	You've got karma.
	And, boy, I am...
	My sinuses are a mess.
	It's really bad today.
	Uh...
	How do you catch a cold in weather like that?
	No, well, it's from, I think it's from meeting people.
	I think it's the air conditioning.
	No, you can't get, you can't...
	Turn it off.
	No, you can't, yeah, right.
	Go without.
	Right.
	Watch my Mac fry itself.
	No, seriously, you're going to have a bad sinus condition.
	You're going to get Legionnaire's disease.
	I would cut the air conditioning immediately.
	Legionnaire's disease, please.
	No, man.
	You know what this comes from?
	This comes from meeting people, touching people, shaking hands, kissing them.
	Every politician in the world does that.
	Doctors see people every day and they don't get sick.
	I'm telling you, it's the air conditioning.
	I think you're just looking...
	You know, I think you've got to turn it off.
	Just sweat.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Hey, thanks, John.
	So again, uh...
	We have a pure value-for-value based model.
	It's very simple.
	We've been doing it for over four years now.
	It's what we do.
	We watch C-SPAN so you don't have to.
	We deconstruct as much as possible.
	We try to stay on top of the real news and bring it to you and help you To be able to face a world filled with a lot of disinformation.
	If you value this service, please consider us in your will.
	And if you don't plan on dying, then go to...
	I'm just saying.
	I'm just saying.
	So we have two nighthose, John.
	If you could grab your blade there for a second.
	Very good.
	We have a Black Knight and a Fresh Knight.
	Please step forward.
	James from FreeHallowBooks.com and Christian Winter.
	Extend those ring fingers and kneel as I now pronounce the Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Sir James and Sir Black Knight Christian.
	You now both are Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable for your donations up to $1,000 in total.
	Please enjoy your hookers and blow.
	Or your rent boys and Chardonnay as you prefer.
	Sound terrible.
	Yeah.
	Air conditioning will do that.
	Yeah.
	Well, Mickey doesn't have it, so...
	That's the good news.
	There's a reason for that.
	Don't tell me it's one of those CIA... Genetics.
	Oh, really?
	Well, I tell you.
	Can I just stop here a second?
	I love her so much.
	She is so awesome on this trip, and we're going to be fine.
	And yes, adamisinlove.com.
	Stop the slide whistle!
	I'm trying to be serious.
	She is doing so much for this trip.
	John, just say she's great!
	I don't know.
	She's great, I suppose, until she gives me the shiv, which is what I'm expecting.
	Until she hands me the poison oyster.
	No, she, I mean, listen, this is like a man cave, okay?
	By the way, I'm convinced RVs are not designed by women.
	You know there's a guy who's like, yeah, we put the microwave here, and we just put a stove there.
	Yeah, I know you're right.
	I've gotten enough of them that they all seem designed by guys.
	Yeah, I mean, it makes no sense for women whatsoever.
	Now, of course, I want to thank Baroness Maggie Vincent, because she's given us this fantastic opportunity for the show, and it's great.
	But for a woman to be living in this box of a man cave with me, that's rough.
	Yeah, that's what I'm telling you.
	And I had chiggers this morning.
	Did you?
	Yeah.
	And we got up really early.
	And by the way, you have the morning star, early in the morning, which is Venus, apparently.
	So you see the moon and no other stars, but right next to it is Venus, and that's there for about half an hour, and then it goes away.
	Yeah, it's gorgeous.
	It's beautiful.
	Oh, it's so beautiful.
	And I'm like, ow!
	And there's this little pinhead thing.
	That's a chigger, right?
	I don't know.
	I've never been bitten by one.
	Oh, and yet you warn me.
	Well, I know they're all over the place.
	Well, maybe I got a chigger bite and maybe I'm slowly dying.
	I don't know.
	No, chiggers don't kill you.
	They just burrow under your skin.
	Then they live there forever.
	You'll be itchy when you get back.
	There was something really funny.
	Hopefully they'll stop you at the border for a chigger check.
	We're not going to the border, man.
	We're staying in the United States of Gitmo Nation.
	I mean the border of California.
	Oh.
	Yeah, you do need a passport for that.
	So, we're following Gitmo Nation down under.
	Very important because this will be the first country that has the carbon tax, which is basically being rammed on everybody's throat.
	And they have their own version of C-SPAN down there, which I think, I don't know what it's called.
	But there's a lot of it.
	And it's available on YouTube, which is really nice.
	So there's this, I guess, Member of Parliament.
	I don't know enough about the Australian system.
	Now, her name is Mary Jo Fisher.
	And so they have kind of a combination of what they do in the United Kingdom where they can talk crazy and insult people while they're up there standing.
	And it's a cross between that and our system where they stand up and there's like no other side and there's no hooting and hollering necessary.
	And they can just go nuts for like five minutes or whatever their allotted time is.
	And this woman, I mean, if she's on drugs, she needs to be sharing.
	The members opposite have got no answers and I rise to take note of the no answers given in question time today.
	And to note Mr Acting Deputy President that all this government is doing is dancing a dance.
	Dancing a very merry dance is our Prime Minister at the behest of the Greens.

	I like it.
	I think it's fantastic.
	From the, whoops, we didn't know that files, Congressman Anthony Weiner was spotted flying out of LaGuardia On his way to outpatient rehab.
	Let's see, where was he going?
	To Florida, I think.
	Rehab for what?
	For his sex addiction, of course.
	Oh, please.
	And here's the headline from the New York Post, quote, My problem is I have three women I have to convince I'm cured.
	Kuma, her mother, and Hillary.
	Wow.
	Uh-huh.
	And by the way, our resource from Hillary's State Department totally agrees about Hillary and Huma.
	Huma Huma.
	Yeah, Huma Huma.
	She's going to try and...
	Don't get fired, is what I said.
	Whatever you do, don't get fired.
	Yeah, well, I mean, it's pretty obvious.
	I mean, once you made the connection, it's pretty...
	It's obvious.
	So what?
	Well, so what is it?
	If Hillary would just be honest about it, then it wouldn't be such a so what.
	And then we could understand a little more what happened with, just with everything.
	Yeah, with Bill.
	Yeah.
	Remember we talked about the new rural American, what was it?
	It was the rural American committee, I think, that President Obama put together.
	And on it was, you know, every single member of the cabinet, including Homeland Security and the USDA and the FDA. Everyone's on it.
	And we've identified this.
	Yeah, this is the thing that makes no sense unless it's really a front for something else.
	Right.
	Well, it's the White House Rural Council, which its intent is to strengthen rural communities.
	And this was established on June 9th.
	We immediately pegged it as an Agenda 21 move.
	And the first thing they're doing, they're rolling out smart meters.
	Hello, smart meters to rural communities, smart meters to farms.
	You know what that means.
	That means, A, prices are going to get jacked up, because we've seen that happen everywhere, these smart meters, and they're going to control it.
	So it's increased use of digital information.
	And controls of technology to improve reliability, security, and efficiency of the electric grid.
	Dynamic optimization of grid operations and resources with full cybersecurity.
	Yeah, someone's going to hack into the farm.
	Deployment and integration of distributed resources and generation, including renewable resources.
	Get ready to pay more money for solar and wind.
	Development and incorporation of demand-side resources and energy-efficient resources.
	Let me tell you, this list goes on and on, and I've been visiting some of these places in rural America.
	No one's waiting for this.
	Yeah, it's another scam.
	Huh.
	Well, give me something happy then, big boy.
	Well, I got something happy then.
	I got Al Sharpton, for some unknown reason, was given a show by MSNBC. Just listen to this guy.
	He can't even read.
	Is he replacing the douche?
	Oberman, basically.
	Actually, they put in a couple of guys.
	There's this other guy named Chank or something who's just terrible, and they decided to bounce him.
	Well, you know what happened with him.
	Did you see his goodbye on...
	Schenk?
	Yeah, because he was doing this...
	Oh, yeah, no.
	He was doing something called Young Turks.
	Have you ever seen that, Young Turks?
	No.
	So Young Turks is kind of...
	They come...
	They touch on a lot of no-agenda issues, and the guy...
	Schenk, I think.
	I think it's Schenk, but you spell it C-E-N-K. I've seen some of his stuff, and some of it's very good, very no agenda, and other stuff is like him yelling a lot, which is okay.
	Mostly he's doing an Ed Schwartz bitching about the Republicans.
	No, no, I disagree.
	I've seen him do some pretty good stuff.
	That's all I ever saw.
	But he got kind of popular with his Young Turks, then MSNBC brought him in to do a gig, and the way he tells, it was very interesting actually, you should see his video about this, he got the talk.
	And the talk was, hey, listen, you know, the people in Washington, they don't like your tone.
	And so they kicked him off the air.
	He says he left of his own accord.
	You know, they wanted to marginalize him and not give him the six o'clock slot, whatever.
	And he said his ratings were great, whatever.
	I doubt it.
	But it was kind of interesting that he said, you know, he got the talk about MSNBC being establishment and didn't really like his tone.
	High Greens exploded earlier this week, and today Politico is reporting some new details, including the fact that they caused her to miss eight House votes last July and another four day of votes last May.
	The story prompting questions from Republican pundits and rivals.
	Dude, they are really stretching for talent there.
	Popping his peas, he can't say, can't speak in a whole sentence.
	Why don't they give their job to the guy who wanted the job, the black minister?
	You mean long-legged Mac Daddy?
	Yeah, that guy.
	I don't think they like his tone, necessarily.
	He stinks.
	He stinks, this guy.
	Anyways, going on and on, everybody's all worked up about Michelle Bachman's migraines.
	Oh, yeah.
	And so this is all over the news.
	Oh, she's got migraines, and she's a piece of work.
	Oh, one of her ex-staffers thinks that she's a grouch.
	I mean, this whole thing, it's just...
	They're really afraid of her.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'm afraid of her, too.
	She has that thousand-yard stare, which is like, huh?
	Well, that and the fact that her husband's, you know, the screwball ex-gay, you know, gay, whatever, gay hunter or whatever he is.
	Bachman, gay hunter.
	That's a great show.
	Hi, I'm Michelle Bachman's husband.
	I'm the gay hunter.
	Is your son gay?
	I'll take care of that.
	I had a clip from the last show we didn't play.
	Let me see if I still have it.
	It was with Wolf and Sanjay Gupta.
	And they were discussing it.
	Oh, maybe I don't have it anywhere.
	Oh, here it is, yeah.
	And he actually, because she's on drugs.
	And this is the big thing.
	It's like, oh, can she still function on drugs?
	You want to hear that?
	It was kind of interesting.
	Yeah, play it.
	Republican Michelle Bachman is going to new lengths to try to prove that her migraine headaches would not be a problem if she were president.
	Her campaign released a letter today from one of her doctors amid growing questions about her headaches and her health.
	It says, let me read it to you in part, your migraines occur infrequently and have known trigger factors of So I guess she got a note from her doctor that says, it's okay.
	It's okay to run for president.
	I say so.
	Factors of which you are aware and know how to avoid.
	When you do have a migraine, you are able to control it well with, as needed, sumatriptan and odansetron.
	Okay, sumatriptan and odansetron.
	John, can you please...
	Consult the book of knowledge.
	Alright, let's go.
	Sumatran.
	What's the first one?
	Sumatran.
	No, Sumatripta.
	Sumatripta.
	Your migraines occur infrequently and you have known trigger factors of which you are aware and know how to avoid.
	When you do have a migraine, you are able to control it well with, as needed, Sumatriptan.
	Sumatriptan.
	Sumatriptan.
	Got it.
	Yeah.
	And?
	And Odansetron.
	Odansetron, which is like orgasmatron, I think.
	Well, the first...
	Anyway, Sanjay Gupta will explain.
	It has not been necessary for you to take daily scheduled medications to manage this condition.
	Let's bring in our chief medical correspondent, Dr.
	Sanjay Gupta, who's a neurosurgeon.
	Zofran.
	What?
	Onidenzatron is Zofran.
	It's for cancer patients, I think, right?
	No, Zofran?
	No, no, that's like a Prozac kind of a clone.
	Oh, really?
	Now, what do these drugs Sanjay do?
	Well, sumatriptan is a pretty well-known migraine medication.
	The theory is that when someone has a migraine, that the blood vessels, some of the blood vessels in the brain, typically on one side of the head only, are sort of in spasm.
	And what sumatriptan does, it sort of stabilizes those blood vessels.
	So the amount of blood flow is not changing as the blood flow is in spasm.
	It's something that you take when a headache is coming on.
	So you take it to try and treat the headache.
	For it?
	And that's to distinguish it from something that you take to prevent headaches in the first place.
	This is to treat the headaches.
	It does have some side effects.
	Sumatriptan, it can cause dizziness, it can cause nausea itself, feeling sometimes that the room is spinning around you.
	The other medication, Odansetron, is basically used to control nausea and vomiting, either from the migraine headache itself or from the side effect of the first medication.
	So they're pretty typically used in combination, Wolf.
	So at the bottom line, could taking these drugs and migraines actually debilitate her ability if she were elected president?
	You know, they're pretty commonly used drugs, and in full disclosure, I suffer from migraines myself, so I have...
	There it is.
	It's a commercial.
	The whole thing is a commercial.
	Sounds like it.
	Hey, it's good for Sanjay.
	Some personal experience with these medications.
	That's funny, you're right.
	It's a commercial.
	It's a commercial.
	It's disgusting, yeah.
	It's just a commercial.
	It's unbelievable.
	It's great.
	Don't worry about it.
	It's all good.
	It's just a commercial!
	Wouldn't it be funny?
	In full disclosure, Sanjay Gupta, I eat Hot Pockets and find them very nutritious.
	40 varieties.
	Works by blocking the action of serotonin, blah, blah, blah.
	It's used for all kinds of things, that one.
	I thought it was pretty nasty.
	These things are all ridiculous.
	No, but the fact that they're just peddling it like a commercial.
	Yeah, and we don't even know that she takes...
	Did they say that came from the doctor's letter, that the plug was in there?
	Yeah, the doctor's letter.
	Yeah, well, Wolf said he was reading it verbatim.
	Of course, the doctors are paid to prescribe that.
	They're paid.
	And the room is spinning.
	Yeah, the room is spinning.
	Well, there's a lot of this celebrity stuff going on.
	You have, instead of just, you know, the commercial with the anonymous person, I think the trend, you know, I think we've seen enough of those commercials.
	You know, now I think it's becoming more of a, I think we're having the, what do you call it, the host endorsement style of commercials for these drugs.
	And that's what we're seeing with that one you just did with Gupta saying he loves this stuff.
	Yeah.
	Full disclosure.
	Coincidentally, I've got an Embrol commercial which has a huge major golfer that's plugging this stuff.
	What is Embrol?
	Well, I guess we're going to find out what that is.
	I'm Phil Mickelson, pro golfer.
	If you have painful, swollen joints, I've been in your shoes.
	One day I'm on top of the world.
	The next I'm saying, I have this thing called psoriatic arthritis.
	I had some intense pain.
	It progressively got worse.
	My rheumatologist told me about Enbrel.
	I'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed.
	Because Enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections.
	Serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred.
	Before starting Enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common.
	Don't start Enbrel if you have an infection like the flu.
	Tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis B, have been treated for heart failure, or if while on Enbrel you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness.
	Get back to the things that matter most.
	Good job, girls.
	Ask your rheumatologist if Enbrel is right for you.
	Yeah, awesome.
	Uh...
	Dr.
	Drew is still prescribing all kinds of weird stuff for pot addiction.
	Hold on, here it comes.
	Because marijuana addiction is really rough.
	And by the way, there's a withdrawal from it.
	It lasts about 7 to 10 days.
	And you get very irritable and a little bit paranoid, too.
	So if you start feeling that way, we can give you stuff for that.
	Okay, good.
	It's not a fun withdrawal.
	We'll pledge meeting you.
	And let's get through the night and start working here.
	Jessica is a severe, severe addict.
	With the amount of alcohol and pot that she's been consuming, her withdrawal is going to be intense and protracted.
	We're in for a very long haul with Jessica.
	And so he's going to give her a billify.
	Every single show, I want our producers to be on the lookout for this.
	Everything is now a drug ad.
	We are literally into the just take your med slave portion.
	I'm telling you, it is really outrageous.
	Hello?
	Hmm...
	Now, that took so long...
	John?
	Yeah?
	I'm here.
	Really?
	Are you there?
	Are you sure?
	Hello, Johnny?
	Are you there?
	So, that was really weird.
	What happened is the internet completely broke.
	Everything dropped out.
	And then my screens went black.
	It was an EMP! Should have been.
	Yeah.
	Okay, what were we talking about?
	I was mentioning that marijuana seems to be a huge meme in the New York Times of late.
	Oh really?
	Why are they all over it?
	Well, Drew's got marijuana addicts, and he's given them a bill of five.
	The Norway guy, by the way, the Norway shooter was a marijuana guy.
	Back off from your mic just a bit.
	The Norway shooter was a marijuana guy.
	Did you know that?
	No, I didn't.
	Oh, makes total sense.
	Okay.
	Yeah, he was a marijuana guy.
	And now on the front page of, let's see, this was the Saturday paper, which has all the real news.
	Yeah.
	Legal marijuana in Arizona, yes for buyers, no for sellers, right on the front page below the fold.
	Hey, wait a minute.
	Did we miss doing your segment?
	I'm sorry.
	Did we completely screw that up?
	We didn't do it, if that's what you're wondering.
	Do you want to do it to wrap things up and do your...
	Well, we could do a quickie.
	I mean, there's not that much good stuff.
	I mean, essentially, the Saturday paper's got pretty much two or three pieces.
	The Sunday paper's typically lame.
	Well, hold on.
	Let's do it properly, then.
	All right, hit it.
	John's gonna hum the Sunday time Just fist your mic a bit, man.
	You're over-modulating.
	I'm back here now.
	Yeah, much better.
	So, the Sunday paper, of course, has got some interesting memes at the bottom, which is something, you know, we'll make sure we can de-ball the American male so top of the little listings is progress on male contraception.
	Uh-huh.
	Male contraceptives are attracting growing interest from scientists.
	Oh yeah, we have to depopulize everybody.
	Pakistan spies on its diaspora, spreading fear.
	There's something going on there.
	We don't know what.
	Meanwhile, the Saturday paper, which has the good stuff, has the Norway rattling thing.
	It has an interesting use of associative sentence structures where they talk about...
	It reminds people of the attacks in Beirut or Baghdad or Oklahoma City.
	Trying to make it done as a triple, which is to give you the idea that there's three things that means it's accurate.
	I should tell people about this trick when you're a writer.
	When you're going to try to exemplify it or compare it with something, you can use, like, two things, like, the guy was good and bad.
	Or you can use three things, the guy was good and bad and indifferent.
	Or you can use four things, which is the guy was good and bad and indifferent and crazy.
	And the mental effect on people is different for each of those three structures that the...
	Just using two things as an indication of that, just solid information, don't really have to discuss it.
	The three things, or the Trinity, is always the one you want to encourage people to believe that the report is balanced.
	And the fourth one, when you use four things or more, that is to indicate that you're emotionally into it and there's a lot of you're going to be going off the deep end here for any minute.
	And so I always get a kick out of seeing those little triples that show up.
	And also there's another one that's kind of funny.
	On the Saturday paper, debt limit talks break up again as speaker quits.
	Peter Obama demands a Saturday meeting with lawmakers.
	And this was kind of cool.
	This is in paragraph 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	Mr.
	Obama said Mr.
	Boehner had stopped returning his calls, which I think is funny.
	Yeah.
	Like, he won't take my call!
	Amen.
	My battery was dead.
	When it became clear that rank and file House Republicans would not, and this is the kicker, this is a little piece of propaganda right in the middle, would not agree to raise revenues on wealthy Americans.
	I didn't know that was the whole thing.
	Is it just to raise revenue, soak the rich, or to raise taxes for the wealthy?
	I mean, that's obviously, that was the point.
	That's the whole thing, is to raise taxes on the rich.
	Yeah, I love how everyone just says it's about raising revenue.
	Yeah.
	That's great.
	It's a great way to say it.
	The whole thing is bullshit, but anyway, that's my New York Times report for today.
	Okay.
	John's gonna harm the Sunday Times.
	While we're at it, we might as well do this one for you.
	33.
	A couple of magic numbers for you today.
	New jingle, by the way.
	Hope you like that.
	Brad Pitt's production company hoping to win the screen rights to the story of the 33 Chilean miners rescued from the collapsed mine shaft.
	Thank you very much, Brad.
	But of course, the one that was the most emailed, I would say, is about the high-speed bullet train in China collided with another high-speed train in China.
	Some of the carriages fell off a viaduct, killing at least 33 people!
	Yeah, it's funny because that's an interesting story because a bunch of the news headlines that had 33 were changed to 35.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	The CNN report in particular, if somebody sent me a link to it, it was changed from 33 to 35.
	And it makes me think that the meme or whatever this triggering mechanism is for the use of the word 33, which is, I don't know, there's a stock tip in there?
	Is it to tell us to get out of a certain town?
	I have no idea.
	Stock tip?
	Whatever it is, they said, no, no, no, you can't use 33 now.
	No, man, you can't call 33 now, man.
	That's the wrong code.
	No good.
	Wrong code.
	And I bet you didn't catch this one.
	There were tears of joy everywhere at Maiden Racecourse for earthquake-ravaged Japan after Victoire Pisa scored a stunning upset over Transcend to give the nation a 1-2 finish in the $10 million Dubai World Cup sponsored by Emirates Airline.
	This was a horse race.
	The Japanese horse won.
	Oh.
	Uh-huh.
	Somebody also said that the Tour de France was won by some guy who was rigged because the guy who would normally win was poisoned.
	I'll put that story on the next show.
	Yeah, let's get that one.
	The guy was poisoned.
	Well, yeah, there's a lot of poisoning going on in sports.
	I think there is a lot of poisoning that goes on in sports.
	I know they tried to poison the Lakers some years ago.
	Yeah, with food poisoning, right?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Good.
	I guess the final thing is to thank everyone who has supported the show.
	Your $5 a month, yes, even those $2 a month, your $1 an hour, your $11.11.
	We do have the big $11.11 coming up, $11.11 coming up, and of course our 333 show.
	This is episode 324.
	You can find all the clips, all the work we've done, show notes at 324.nashownotes.com I've been Even though I'm on the road, I've been working with Dave Weiner on almost done with the system so you actually can log in and get an account and do something cool with your domain names.
	Over 500 now and counting.
	So we can actually do stuff with isaslave.com and all these fun domain names.
	I'm sorry?
	I was just going to say, I do have one last clip to play when we're done with your plea.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, then let me just close your eyes.
	Take a deep breath.
	Open your mind.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A At least we tell you we're programming your brain.
	Yes, in advance.
	Now, so there's, you know, the thing that's taken over soap operas has been these women's talk shows of varying kinds.
	And the one called The Talk, I believe, is the worst of the group.
	This is a take-off on The View, right?
	Yeah, everything's a take-off on The View.
	There's about three of them, I think, maybe four now.
	And this one, this is the one that features Sharon Osbourne.
	Oh!
	And this is just a clip, a random clip from the show, because I can't get random clips from too many of these soap operas anymore.
	And this is the kind of inane bull crap that is on these shows.
	Do you eat meat?
	No.
	Oh!
	This is magical!
	Are you vegan?
	Yeah.
	Can I tell you something?
	You may.
	I know you're going to screw me on something.
	My granddaughter's name is like yours.
	Leah.
	Leah.
	Oh, that's a nice connection.
	And she's 80s old.
	Yeah.
	And you know, with your energy, you remind me of her.
	She's all the way back in Israel.
	So when I sit next to you, can I give you a hug?
	Who was that?
	That sounded like Ariana Huffington.
	This whole show is so bad.
	Do you eat meat?
	It's like it's a big round of applause.
	Oh no!
	Don't eat meat because it's bad for biodiversity.
	Wow, let me give you a little biodiversity for that one.
	That was bad.
	Are you vegan?
	Yes, I think I am vegan.
	This is the conversation they have.
	This is on television?
	Oh yeah, it's huge.
	The show's big.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	It's on like a network show?
	It's a syndicated show.
	All the stations pick it up in the morning.
	That's unbelievable, John.
	Now, here's the question.
	What are you doing watching it?
	Somebody has to, right?
	Somebody has to.
	I was just working on it.
	I dropped my jaw.
	What the?
	And then I backed it up to get the clip.
	I was playing a clip of you that was sent in by one of our producers.
	It's pretty funny.
	This is how you sound on the show.
	It's, it's, I find, there's a, there's a, I'm working on myself to, I don't know, yeah, I think to realize it, and I looked at it, there's an ad for, it's, I, yep.
	Yep.
	Yep, that would be it.
	Alright, then I have one final clip.
	The President about...
	What do we say all the time about drugs?
	What country is it that works so well?
	Portugal, right?
	Portugal actually decriminalized drugs.
	The drug use has gone down and the problem has disappeared.
	You want to hear about the president when he's asked that question directly?
	It's like three minutes.
	You think you can handle it?
	Three minutes?
	Oh yeah.
	Good to meet you.
	My name's Steve.
	I'm a doctoral student here.
	What do you study?
	Political rhetoric.
	Can you really study that?
	Political rhetoric?
	Not that I know of.
	It sounds like a setup to me, political rhetoric.
	I don't know why all my clips are over-modulated, by the way.
	I apologize.
	I can't listen to this.
	It sucks.
	Something went wrong.
	Anyway, the guy literally says, can we decriminalize like in Portugal?
	The president goes on for two and a half minutes and then he says, to answer your question, no.
	Not going to do it.
	He's going to put more money into warning you about it and to making sure you take the good meds.
	Just take your meds, son.
	Just take your meds.
	Alright, so we pick up, right after the show, Poolside with Ms.
	Mickey and Gitmo Slave with the No Agenda Producers update.
	I think we're going to hear some complaining today.
	Can you tell people what the song is that you play at the end of the show that I keep getting asked?
	You know what's funny is no matter how many times I say it, people keep asking.
	It's the Marriott Jazz Quintet.
	It's called On the Seventh Day.
	It is pod safe.
	And this question has been answered so many times.
	Yeah, I know.
	And I wonder, do people go out and jam this in their car really loud?
	I have no idea.
	That song is so awesome, man.
	I cranked it up at the stoplight.
	Chicks were loving it.
	Oh, and Mr.
	Oil will also be on the No Agenda Producer Update pool side.
	I will be hopping in the pool just to ensure I wash off some of the Legionnaire's disease.
	And hopefully we'll have more for you on Thursday.
	We'll be all over it as best as possible.
	Thursday, by the way, I think we'll be in...
	I think we'll be in New Orleans, John.
	I would think so.
	You've got enough time to get there.
	And so, you know, I don't know if we have any producers in New Orleans.
	I think we do.
	We're going to pass through...
	Oh, I know we do.
	There's one guy owns this nice bar that hopefully he'll be listening to.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, do you know what the name of the bar is?
	No, I mean, I can look it up on the email.
	Okay.
	On the emails, could you give that a shot?
	Yeah, it's on the internets.
	Okay.
	Um...
	Oh man, I hope my cold is better by then.
	You're right, I already have Legionnaire's disease.
	I feel like crap.
	I don't know how you can catch a cold in that weather.
	I'm telling you, it's from hugging and kissing people, and that's what it is.
	Well, stop the kissing part.
	Well, you know, hey, when are you coming down, man?
	Wash your hands every once in a while.
	When are you coming over?
	Wash my hands when you get back to Fairfax or Langley, wherever you end up.
	Are you going to come to the Pentagon for the final goodbye show?
	Maybe.
	You'll have to sit in a different room.
	We can't be together when you do the show.
	Maybe.
	I can't do that.
	No, I couldn't do it.
	We'd be mugging too much.
	Anyway, I miss you very much.
	You're talking to me now.
	I don't see the difference with a normal week.
	I miss you here so you can see all the love that the people have for the show, man.
	Don't you get it?
	That's a good thing.
	Alright, thank you Miss Mickey.
	Thank you to Nico and Ellen DeHaan for opening up your home.
	We highly appreciate your producership.
	Karma goes to you and Karma to Yellowjacket who's feeling sick as well.
	I'm Adam Curry in the great state of Florida.
	Talk to you again in the morning on And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's still foggy, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
