Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, August 11th.
Sorry about that.
This is No Agenda.
Why don't you sing it?
You know, I'm just going to leave that in there.
We'll just start it over again.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, August 11, 2011.
TimeGear Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 329-er.
This is no agenda.
Reporting from the front lines of Gitmo Nation from the Four Winds 5000 Crackpot Command Center in the home of aviation from Chiants Run in the great state of Ohio.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And I noticed it's 11-8-11 or 8-11-11 or something.
It's all leading up to 11-11-11, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Hey, that was one of the best openings we've ever done.
Were you flubbing?
Yeah.
You were awesome.
Sorry.
Hey, in the morning, John.
In the morning to you, Adam, and in the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground all the world around.
Hey, he made another rhyme.
He's on a roll today.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, and we say a special in the morning to all of the human resources who are just getting by in the chat room at NoAgendaChat.net, NoAgendaStream.com, but they are charged up and ready to go the way their government loves them, needs them, and intends to suck them dry of all resources.
So, gee, I just picked up today's New York Times from the front porch.
Yeah.
And looking at it, you wouldn't even know there was anything going on in the UK. Oh, really?
They put the nothing in there?
Well, they got a little story that says, I'm always a little upset when we get these types of big stories from different parts of Gitmo Nation.
Because just like the Oslo attacks, even our best human resources producers who listen to the show, you can see the indoctrination, but also the cultural...
Nuances that have crept into them over the years.
And I would say I received 8, 9, maybe 10 emails of people saying, you know, this is just bull crap.
These are kids.
You see that Sony warehouse going up in flames?
These are chavs.
Oh, nothing to see here.
Get the nothing to see here thing out.
Here we go.
Don't look over here.
Nothing to see here.
Yeah.
Yeah, but if we had a red book when we started this show, when I was living in Gitmo Nation East in London, we would have pulled it out and said, here you go, I predicted it.
I knew this was going to happen.
You predicted this a long time ago.
And let me mention the funniest episode regarding this, and we'll talk about these riots, obviously, in and off, or on and off.
But...
So on Wednesday, to kind of placate the public, the New York Times has on its front page, and then I see the Wall Street Journal with a very similar photo on its front page on Wednesday.
A big picture of a bunch of people holding brooms.
And they're going to be the cleanup crew.
It was a hashtag on the tweeters.
It's going to be a cleanup crew.
They're going to sweep up the mess that they made because they're good little boys and girls.
I mean, are you kidding me?
Yeah, it's...
You know, here's my take on it.
And a lot of people in the UK are going to be angry and disagree.
But I've seen this happen, and I've lived in the UK for five years.
The family social structure is broke.
And I had a teenage daughter who was in the milieu of these kids.
And she went to private school, which is public school in the UK. And it was horrible.
It was absolutely complete pandemonium.
All caused by what everyone just generally calls the chavs.
And there is actually a segment of mobile home dwellers, who I guess you could call chavs, but it's rampant.
There is no future for these kids.
There's no jobs, there's no social...
I think it must be like 70 or 80% of all homes are divorced families.
Some parents, or most parents actually, take care of other kids.
You know, they sleep at each other's houses for weeks, months on end, because, ah, it's messed up at my place.
Ah, you can sleep here.
And booze is cheap.
You know, they got the 50 pence beer these days.
And this has just been a powder keg waiting to happen.
Now, of course, when it happens, people's brains go to stupid...
And, you know, like, hey, hey, man, I'm pissed off.
I don't know.
I'm pissed off.
I don't know.
Yeah, flat screen!
I deserve a flat screen!
And this is what the nanny state brings to you.
When people expect to be taken care of, then the austerity measures come in.
People don't get taken care of anymore the way they want to be taken care of.
And then all you need is one little thing, and it's just a powder keg.
But I was dismayed by the amount of people saying, nah, it's just a bunch of...
Just a bunch of dickheads and, you know, we should bring the army in on them.
I mean, good, smart people saying this.
Oh yeah, no, that's kind of the common thing.
And Cameron, I have a clip here, Cameron playing the douchebag role as a completely naive character regarding this.
There's a lot of clips.
In fact, we have one in the show notes.
And there's others coming.
When you actually talk to the people on the street, you find out they're irritated at the government.
They did search and seizure law.
Some woman, apparently some old lady died when the cops busted in for no apparent reason, just to check to see if they had weapons or whatever.
And there's been a number of people killed by accident.
They don't care.
And they point out some incident.
I guess a couple of dogs recently died in a cop car.
What?
And they made a big deal out of it, a huge investigation, but meanwhile they killed a couple of kids and nobody cares.
But also, John, if you are continuously being searched, and this is not black people, this is not just hoodies, this is everybody.
This happened near the Mevio office all the time.
You come out of the tube, the subway, and you get searched.
They got dogs sniffing everywhere, there's a camera on every single corner.
You push a cat into a corner...
The nicest, sweetest cat is going to extend his claws and come out and scratch you eventually.
It's normal.
It's human behavior.
I just don't get why you're getting, and I've gotten a few, but probably not as many as you, this response that, oh, it's just a bunch of hooligans.
Because when burning down that...
I mean, have you seen these movies of these blocks, entire blocks of buildings on fire?
Yeah.
I mean, this is a little more than a couple of punks robbing somebody, you know, at gunpoint or knifepoint in the UK. But play the Cameron clip.
1,200 have been arrested.
London remain relatively calm today, but violence and looting has spread to other cities.
Prime Minister David Cameron authorized police to use plastic bullets and water cannons, though so far they haven't been deployed.
Cameron also denounced the rioters and others, including those who carried out an assault and robbery on a foreign student captured on camera.
We needed a fight back, and a fight back is underway.
There are pockets of our society that are not just broken, but frankly sick.
When we see children as young as 12 and 13 looting and laughing, when we see the disgusting sight of an injured young man with people pretending to help him while they are robbing him, it is clear there are things that are badly wrong in our society.
That was actually kind of funny.
The guy's like, hey man, you okay?
The other guy's opening up his backpack, pulling stuff out.
This is what happens!
Oh, by the way, I want to mention something here, because J.C., Buzzkill Jr., has been doing a lot of research on this.
Good.
And apparently there is an underground messaging system that keeps track of all the...
Because you have to remember that this all began with those riots that...
They weren't riots, but just peaceful protests that began months and months and months ago.
They have been going on daily.
Hundreds of thousands of people on the street.
They have been going...
On daily.
And they finally got fed up and they get kettled.
And so there's a new system that you use cell phones and you have a network and you map the cops.
The Google Maps picks it up and it puts where all the cops are.
So you can pre-un-kettle yourself so you don't get cornered like the cops like to do in the UK. They kettle you.
It's called kettling.
And so that when these kids were robbing the other kid, apparently if one kid goes down for any reason, they let him slide, but they rave through all his goods to get his cell phone, because the cell phone's got the contact names of all the other kids and everything else.
That cell phone needs to be stolen immediately.
Good point.
That's a good point, because the guy threw away everything else when I saw him walking away.
He was after the cell phone, and this is being misreported.
Nobody's getting any of this.
They don't have any clue.
They don't ask anyone.
They don't have anybody like Buzzkill Jr.
looking into it.
But the whole thing is that we're being given nothing but bad information.
The only people coming close to the truth is democracy now.
Oh, really?
You have something from them?
No, I don't have any clips.
I'll have some on Sunday.
But the fact of the matter is they're playing it as their normal world revolution.
You know, the communists will take over any minute kind of thing.
But at least they're getting closer to the truth than this, oh, it's just hooligans.
I have two clips, two opposing sides.
Now, the first one is from our friend Nigel Farage.
And I was blown away by what he had to say.
I was like, really?
This is, I think, from King World News.
It's maybe streaming or a podcast, but they got him on the show, which I like better than any official statement because the guys are always a bit looser.
When it's like, ah, it's just a podcast.
Yeah, I'll do that.
I'll talk to these guys.
Listen to what Nigel Farage has to say.
Joining us now is Nigel Farage, co-president of the Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group and national leader of the United Kingdom's Independence Party.
Nigel.
London is on fire right now.
Can you talk to listeners globally about what that's like for you being there in London?
It's absolutely horrifying.
I mean, in the past, we've had civil disorder.
I mean, 30 years ago, there were a very major series of riots that took place in a place called Brixton in South London, and that was a political battle that happened between the black community and the police at the time.
What is so totally extraordinary, and perhaps even more frightening about this, is there is no real political motive.
There is no real cause.
This is just mass criminality on a quite unimaginable scale.
There aren't just one or two flashpoints.
There are hundreds of flashpoints at which people are going out, smashing down doors, looting, setting fire to buildings.
And you've literally this morning got millions of decent law-abiding Londoners who are very, very frightened indeed.
And we have a government who are mostly on holiday, although we're told some are going to be flying back today, who appear just not to have a clue what to do.
Nigel, I saw this in Los Angeles when they had the riots there, and what was fascinating to me is that people who were not criminals became criminals for a day.
Yes, it's this element of opportunism, isn't it?
I mean, there is good and bad in all people, but I suppose the argument must be that if you haven't got very much money and you see the opportunity to have a free television and think that the consequences of getting caught are very limited, then perhaps more people are tempted into being sort of temporary one-day criminals.
I just feel that we've got to get a grip pretty quickly.
And whilst it may sound a radical thing to do, the police aren't big enough to cope.
And I think what the British government needs to do is to call in the army pretty damn quickly.
And let's put soldiers on the street.
Let's give people a feeling that they can't just run riot everywhere.
I mean, this guy, he's showing the class warfare in Britain.
He's saying that there's no political motive.
Dude, these kids have no future.
The only future they have is to go into the military and then they're shipped over to Afghanistan.
And I've seen Christina's friends come home messed up.
They're screwed up.
So I think what we need to do, because if something big is going on, we need a no-fly zone.
Yeah, exactly!
And I think Cameron should be out in a matter of days, not weeks.
Ahmadinejad.
Actually, let me play the...
Hold on a second, here we go.
It is U.S. policy that Gaddafi needs to go.
But let me emphasize that we anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks.
So Ahmadinejad came out and said to the UN Security Council, Hey!
Hey!
You hypocrites!
It's time for a no-fly zone!
Say, when it happens over in my neck of the woods, then it's like all messed up.
And now it's happening in your backyard.
Now it's just hooligans.
No.
This is a problem that I have identified by living in the middle of it with a teenage daughter.
I saw this.
And it's frustration.
Now, there's one guy, and this is a poor recording, but I can jack the sound up.
His name is Darkus Howe, and he's a writer, and he's probably 65, between 65 and 70 years old.
And this is a little bit longer clip, but it's really fascinating to listen to, because he's being interviewed by the BBC. And he's essentially saying, what do you expect?
This is like all the search and seizures, people getting thrown around, it's the police state, and the BBC is just not having any of it.
Just no way.
Oh yeah, this is a classic.
It's a great clip.
Great clip.
No, not at all.
I have been living in London for 50 years.
There are so many different moves and moments.
But what I was certain about, listening to my grandson...
And my son is that something very, very serious was going to take place in this country.
Our political leaders had no idea.
The police had no idea.
But if you looked at young blacks and young whites with a discerning eye and a careful hearing, they have been telling us And we would not listen to what is happening in this country to them.
Mr Howe, if I could just stop you, Mr Howe, for a moment.
You say you're not shocked.
Does this mean that you condone what happened in your community last night?
I condone...
Of course not!
What I'm going to condone it for, what I am concerned about more than anything else, there is a young man called Mark Duggan.
He has parents, he has brothers, he has sisters, and few yards away from where he lives, a police officer blew his head off.
Well, Mr.
Howell, we have to...
Mr.
Howell, we have to wait for the official inquiry before we can say things like that.
We don't know what happened to Mr.
Duggan.
We are going to wait for the police report on it.
If I can take you on a little bit, You were talking about your grandson, you were talking about young people.
You were talking about your grandson, you were talking about...
They have been stopping and searching young blacks for no reason at all.
I have a grandson, he's an angel.
And he began to think he was coming of age when the police slapped him up against the wall and searched him.
And he thought he had now had a gold star.
I asked him the other day, apropos of a sense that something was going seriously around in this country.
I said, how many times have the police searched you?
He said, Papa, I can't count.
There's so many times.
Mr.
Howe, that may well have happened, and if you say it did, I am not to gainsay you, but that is not an excuse to go out rioting and cause a sort of damage.
This is what I don't get.
How can you say...
If you're being harassed by a police state, you're being searched, thrown against the wall for no reason at all.
These stop-and-searches, you can't take pictures of anything.
They have the community police, which they call them brownies for slang.
It's a slang language.
These people walk around patrolling the area like, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't cross the road like that!
Your car is impounded at every single second that you leave it somewhere too long.
You get the boot clamp.
You've got cameras in your trash bins.
You have to pay for your television license.
Come on!
Of course you're going to go nuts!
At some point, you can't take it.
Well, we've been expecting this, the two of us.
And if anyone's listened to this show long enough, they know that we've been talking about this for a while.
And we have been expecting it.
You more than me.
I mean, I was expecting it, but you were more anxious about it.
And it's no surprise.
And this is an ending tomorrow.
Oh, no.
No, this is not it.
Well, it may end in the media.
It may end tomorrow, but it's not actually going to end.
Well, it's ended already in the media.
Right.
I mean, it was only, in fact, it began and continued for two or three days before the media picked it up.
They ran with it for one day, accused it of hooliganism, and now it's already showing up below the fold in the New York Times as just a minor story shaking.
Yeah, nothing going on.
Britain debates, riots, and fears.
They set a pattern.
Let's play it again.
Let's play it.
Don't look over.
So meanwhile, the funny thing is that in the UK, most kids that I know don't have smartphones, they have BlackBerrys.
By the way, this is all I wanted to bring up.
These companies like RIM and Google's doing this and other companies that are cooperating with the police...
Instead, you know, like they're bringing down these Google Maps I mentioned about, you know, how the anti-kettling maps.
And the RIM is turning over all their data files.
BlackBerry Messenger, BBM. Right.
And this is not, I don't believe this is a good thing.
I don't think they should, in other words, they're getting involved.
And there's proof of that.
I guess Parliament came together, maybe it was last night even.
And here's a short clip of Cameron talking about how we've got to crack down on the use of social networks for evil.
And just listen, intelligence is in on it, industry is in on it, i.e. Google, RIM, etc., and the government, of course.
Speaker, everyone watching these horrific actions will be struck by how they were organized by social media.
Free flow of information can be used for good, but it can also be used for ill.
So we are working with the police, the intelligence services, and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder, and criminality.
There you go.
Isn't that what Mubarak did?
Shut down the internet?
Yeah, well, that's why I say we need the no-fly zone.
Now, let me ask you a quick question.
If this is just a bunch of unorganized hooligans, punks, and rioters, how come all of a sudden they're organized by social media?
How can they both be organized and unorganized?
Yeah, well, it's obviously...
This is the backfire we talked about in Israel.
It's the same thing.
I think it's funny that Ahmadinejad was the first one to say it to the UN Security Council.
It's like you can't call social media awesome and fantastic when people are angry at their government and say it's a spring, the Arab spring or the Israeli spring or the Greek spring or the European spring.
But then when it happens in your own backyard, you can't say, oh, that's just social networks for ill.
For ill!
I know, it's so obvious that this is such a...
I mean, this has got every no-agenda element imaginable.
Jam-packed.
Jam-packed is almost like a joke.
Yeah.
But, you know, a lot of quote-unquote normal people in Gitmo Nation East who don't necessarily deal with this on a daily basis.
You know, my good friend Michelle Harper has a huge strip bar complex in Guilford.
He changes the name every three months.
I don't know what it's called now.
But people who have been to Guilford know.
And he's a sweetheart, by the way.
Of course, he's a gangster, because all my friends are gangsters.
But he's like, I can't handle it.
He says, you know, I can't handle what they're doing across the street.
They're handing out pints of beer for 50 pence, so we can't compete on price.
And these kids just come, they go out across the street, they come in completely hammered, they're always fighting, knifing each other.
And then the cops come, and they say he has installed CCTVs in his establishment.
It's crazy.
It is truly Gitmo Nation.
Now, the thing is, it'll never happen here.
Or maybe not in our lifetime, because we got fluoride.
This part waking up is fluoride.
And we got Zoloft and stuff like that.
Well, it could happen in Michigan.
I'll tell you, man, it could happen in Ohio.
You're in Ohio now.
Yeah, I'm in Ohio now, and we have had a great time, which I'm happy to bring you up to speed on.
Let's mention some executive producers and then talk about where you are and what you're doing.
Good, good, good.
Okay, so we do have one, two, three executive producers and two members of the 333 Club.
Actually, we'll make it three.
A double member, Benjamin Caudill from Landham, Maryland, donated 666.66.
I know this isn't the ideal number to donate, he says with a smile, but it's what I need to hit knighthood.
I'll need that extra penny from you guys, though.
It's a big penny.
It's a shekel.
A pence.
Can I get a karma shot from my cousin Scott who was just in a bad motorcycle accident last night?
Yeah, absolutely.
You've got karma.
He also needs to re-douche Mark, Rob, and Richard.
Douchebag!
Wait, let's hit him with a double then in that case.
Douchebag!
Those guys.
Why don't they donate?
David Lee in Williamsburg, Virginia.
33333.
A little gas money to Mickey and Adam just to get by.
Tell Adam to stop eating his plane.
What do you mean?
I'm down to the rubber on the landing gear.
Thanks for the warning.
A little late.
Yum.
Dwayne Melanson.
Sir Melanson.
Nice to have him back here.
Tiggered, Oregon.
In the morning, guys.
Sir Dwayne here getting in a little early on the 333 clubs.
It sounds like a thing.
That things have been slow lately, as they have been.
Of course, it's August dog days.
By the way, I often listen to your shows on a delay, and I expect others do too.
Maybe there is no direct correlation between what happened on the previous show and the donations you get.
For me, there isn't at least.
Eric Snowden, a nation's site is rocking.
By the way, keep it up.
Peter Snake.
Sir Peter Snake.
Sir Pates.
Yeah.
In the Netherlands.
He's our associate executive producer at 222.
I have his note here.
I have his note.
Hey John and Adam, Noah Jenner reminds me of the old history programs on TV that showed us the connections between events in a cause and effect kind of way without talking down to us!
As opposed to what the lamestream media does these days.
You guys let us stretch our brains around what's happening in the world.
You are mental gym teachers.
No bullcrap.
Just the facts.
I'd like some mental karma to go with my donation.
It's all support for the awesome job you do.
Finally, it's also my birthday, the 11th of August, day of the show.
I've become the last prime number before my 4th year, so of course we'll hand out some karma for you, Sir Pate.
My pleasure.
You've got karma.
And we have them on the birthday list as well, obviously.
And is that it?
And that will wrap up our executive producers for today's show.
Okay, I have a couple of Hot Pockets producers who I would like to thank who go along in our executive producer list.
We have Sir Sean Conley, who I saw at the Chicagoland meetup.
Now, we've changed it now.
We're doing the meetups after the show, which is just a lot better for sanity, essentially.
And then our hosts here in Ohio, Brian and Susie Morris, gave us $250, plus, I might add, their house, their car, electricity, installed a 20-amp circuit just for the Duchess.
We've got a hardwired connection.
And I do want to mention...
Now, I have to tell you about them in a second, because they are almost living completely off the grid.
Not the electrical grid, but they're getting close.
And you might want to check out Suzy Morris' blog, Chiatsrun.com, C-H-I-O-T-S-R-U-N, if you want to get into some awesome gardening and growing yourself and sustaining yourself.
And they have an interesting video business, secondmileproductions.com, 2ndmileproduction.com.
And we thank them for their donation.
What kind of a connection do you have?
Because it sounds better than you've sounded for weeks.
We've got the Time Warner business class.
Yeah, so it can still crap out, but it has guaranteed 2 megabits up, 16 megabits down.
So yeah, it sounds good.
And we have a couple more Hot Pockets producers to thank as we get into our donation segment later on.
But a few PR mentions, as people are always listening to the show, thinking if they can come up with some cool domain names to forward to the NoAgendaShow.com website.
Sir Craig Jones is now forwarding DigitalJihadist.com.
Our show is just, you know, if you need inspiration for a domain name, just listen to this show, such as momwithbenefits.com.
Which is pretty bad.
And one more, somethingcalledreverb.com.
I'm telling you, one day these will be very useful.
Thanks, Nate.
Really appreciate that.
It's very funny.
So we want to thank our executive producers, Brian and Susie Morris, Benjamin Caudill, David Lee, Sir Dwayne Melencon, And our associate executive producer, Sir Peter Snakes from Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
These are real credits, and some of you have actually built up quite a number of them.
You can put them on your letterhead, on your business cards.
You can put it on your IMDB if you have an entry there.
Unlike the phonies in Hollywood, if you need verification of your credit, we will absolutely vouch for you.
Everybody else out there, please go out and propagate our formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
All right, everybody, come on.
You know the word.
Shut up, snake.
So the 2008 tour continues all across Gitmo Nation.
Last time, John, you and I spoke, we were in Inverness, Illinois.
And we were hosted there by Chuck and Dana, their two lovely boys, and did the show.
And then after the show, we had a meet-up.
We had 50 people at the meet-up, John.
Cool.
Yeah, it was outrageous.
And again, some cool jobs, people holding down.
We had an air marshal there.
A couple of military guys.
Actually, I do want to talk about some of the things I've learned.
But the air marshal had something interesting to say.
He said, I hate to break it to you, but I saw Barack Obama in coach twice when he was senator.
What?
Yep.
He says he saw him there twice.
What?
Yeah.
Well, president?
No, senator.
Oh, yeah.
Senator.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, that's weird, but it could happen.
Well, I'd ask.
I said, if anyone has ever seen Barack Obama in coach, let us know.
No, he'd let you know.
Yeah.
I did find something else interesting that I didn't know.
Because, you know, it's like, I'm in Illinois, right?
And this is Gitmo Nation Central.
This is HQ, run by Rahm Emanuel now.
I was like, you know, so what did Barack Obama do for you guys when he was senator?
And most people didn't even know that he was the senator.
And do you know what happened that made him win the senatorial race?
In Illinois?
Yeah.
There was a long article about it in the New Yorker.
I think it had most of the details.
What?
So he was running against the incumbent, Jack Ryan.
And Jack Ryan, if you Google him, he's a cute guy.
He has the whole look.
Everything's perfect.
And he was ahead in all the polls.
This is 2004, of course.
And Jack Ryan, at the time, was married to Jerry Ryan, who plays Seven of Nine on Star Trek Voyager.
Right.
This is where it gets creepy, because we mentioned the similarity between Obama and Tuvok.
Yeah, that is funny that you mention that part.
Yeah, this is all outlined in this article.
Go on.
So, they're getting close.
During Ryan's primary run, the Chicago Tribune and WLS radio, I guess radio, maybe TV, wanted the records released of their divorce in 1999.
And it turns out that this guy was taking her to sex clubs and saying, hey, sit here and blow me and let everybody watch.
And that ruined his entire race.
It's like, oh wow, how does that work, huh?
I mean, do we call that a...
Coincidence?
I think not!
Like, wow, I didn't know that that's how Obama actually won.
Yeah, I recall all that.
Yeah, it was discussed in great detail.
And also, many people...
And there's more than just the blowjobs, by the way.
You know, there's a lot of costuming and...
Well, I have the actual document, and it says a sex act.
It doesn't say what it was.
Yeah, well, that's what it is.
I don't know.
But a couple of people have been working out in health clubs in Chicago for all their life, essentially.
And one place where the President also used to go and work out, his name was Barry.
Everyone called him Barry.
Until he became Senator, then all of a sudden it was Barack.
Yeah, no, it was always Barry.
How come we don't call him Barry Obama?
Well, because he doesn't want to be called Barry.
Okay.
Because people like, I don't know, you tell me.
I don't know.
My theory is it has more of an ethnic sound and it sounds more distinctive.
It's marketing.
It's marketing.
Yeah, it's all marketing because, I mean, Barry is just not Barry.
Yeah, right.
So anyway, so the meetup was without a doubt fantastic.
I think we spent four or five hours.
People came in from Madison, Wisconsin.
Some people drove several hours to be at the meetup.
It was a lot of fun.
It really was.
We had several financial people there who, of course, sysadmins who run big brokerage houses.
I got some insider stock tips.
It was funny.
One of them told me, I can't mention who it is, he said, and so this was Sunday, he said, you know, all of the traders themselves are using their own money and they're buying S&P futures, which I thought was interesting.
Yep, it's like a drug dealer.
Yeah, exactly.
And so that was...
It was great.
Great to meet everybody.
I got like...
One guy showed up with your book, John.
Did you see the pictures?
I was looking at the pictures because I was looking for some pictures to put in the newsletter that I just sent out.
Yeah.
And of course then I noticed if it's Facebook, you can't clip these pictures out.
No, you have to actually do a screen grab.
No, you can't save them.
Yeah, they're flash animations.
It's not even a photo.
How horrible is that?
I hate Facebook.
Why does people put up with this?
Anyway, by the way, it was an eye roller.
I just thought the greatest picture, and I've tried to use it, but I didn't have time to organize the screen capture, was you and Mickey as the two characters in the Grant Wood painting.
That's the American Gothic?
American Gothic.
Now, that was not Chicago.
That was taken here in Ohio.
It was her idea.
Because they had to leave.
They were going on vacation.
They were supposed to leave on Sunday.
They stayed an extra day so that they could be here with us.
Let me tell you about these guys.
They're fantastic.
They live here near a lake.
It's like an hour outside of Canton or Akron.
Akron, Ohio.
And it's a completely wooded area.
They eat all their own food.
So Susie made us a great spaghetti with everything from her own garden.
She makes her own pasta.
She makes her own sourdough bread.
She trades stuff with farmers for real bacon.
And she uses lard to cook with.
And it's been outrageously awesome.
The food is just...
And she cans and pickles stuff.
And Brian, did you see the...
Lost art.
Yeah.
Brian makes stuff with his hands.
Did you see that trailer that we hitched up to the Duchess?
Yeah, I did.
The one that you can now...
Yeah, I can get in that thing.
I'd have to crawl in and sleep for the baby or something.
It's actually, it's six foot in length.
It's more than six feet, so you could sleep in it quite comfortably.
But he made this from plans from a 1947 kit trailer.
Yeah, that is an old design.
I've seen it before.
In fact, I may actually have one of the old magazines where they used to sell the plans of that thing.
It's very funny.
Yeah, you can just Google it.
But he made the whole thing from aluminium, just from the plans.
He bought the chassis, I think, an original chassis.
So, you know, these people are just very inspiring.
We felt quite inadequate just being around them.
Now...
Of course, he has CCW, as everyone does here, carry concealed weapon.
And he says, look, you know, we got to go.
And he says, but you're going to hook up with our good friends.
What are you holding up here?
Point to what am I supposed to look at?
Yeah, yeah.
Don't worry.
I have to mention that even though they're gone, they will have house sitters coming tomorrow when we leave.
So don't try to break in.
Thank you, Mickey.
Nobody even knows where you are.
Somebody knows, trust me.
Anyway, you're going to hook up with...
You mean the guys in the Black Escalade that have been following you all the time?
Exactly, those guys.
Yeah, they don't care.
So you're going to hook up with our good friends Sean and Missy.
And so they have kind of like a sustainable community vibe with a bunch of friends.
So Susie would be in charge of food.
And Sean is in charge of the arsenal.
He's the weapons expert I told you about.
So he rolls up around four.
He's like, hey, you want to go shooting?
Oh my goodness.
Did you go shooting?
Didn't you see the pictures?
No, I only saw a few of them.
I told you I was working on that letter and I saw about five pictures and I went on and did some of the things.
There's nothing hotter than Mickey with an assault rifle.
It looked really good.
And so he had a couple of Glocks, you know, his wife's gun.
He borrowed his dad's gun.
It's like the whole family had chipped in a gun.
Yeah, let him shoot this.
I think we spent a couple hours...
Did you do anything interesting?
No, we did just regular target practice.
It's an outdoor shooting range, which essentially, this area, when guys came back from World War II, they kind of needed a place to go hang out and do stuff.
And now there's probably 10, 15 in this general area, just open fields.
That's not unusual.
Right.
Right.
And they do a lot of skeet shooting.
But there was no one there.
He unlocked the gate himself.
We rolled in.
So we just did some target shooting with the handguns.
And then we had probably like 100, 150 yards out.
We had water bottles and some skeets on sticks and stuff.
And used the assault rifle.
And it was kind of funny how...
I guess Sean was a little nervous in the beginning there.
I outshot him.
And then he was like...
I'm like, okay, we're done, thanks.
He said, hold on a second.
He sat down.
He was like...
So how did Mickey take right to it?
She's a natural.
A natural.
Absolutely.
And she was charged up that night.
Yeah, women like to shoot.
Who needs Viagra when you've got guns?
Yay!
So we will have our meet-up after the show today, 6 o'clock.
You can find that, unfortunately, at the Facebook page, but I'll tweet out a link as well so you can find out where it is, and we're expecting a number of people.
And then tomorrow, we head off to Pennsylvania.
So we are rocking it towards the East Coast.
We do Pennsylvania.
Then we're going to go to Boston.
Then we're going to do a New York slash New Jersey meetup.
And then we're back down to D.C. and Virginia.
Sounds good.
It's been great.
And sometimes we actually say, you know, we could do this.
Yeah, I think you could.
I'm totally convinced that you're just a natural for this sort of lifestyle.
And you just need to get a little bigger rig.
Yeah, that's what I need.
A bigger rig.
You're good to go.
Yeah!
I'll do it only if you sit in that little kit trailer.
I can just imagine.
Someone's got to Photoshop.
Hey, let me out!
You can't drive with a trailer.
You can't be in a trailer while you're driving.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Someone's got to be photoshopping that picture.
I have a little John face there.
And so we skipped over it, but one of the human resources brought one of your books that was published about the, I don't know, programming, the IBM Windows personal computing platform, and he actually had the original 5-inch floppy disk in the back.
Oh, five and a quarter inch floppies.
Yeah, what book was that?
It was like Atlas Shrugged.
There's a bunch of big books.
I did a lot of big books.
I did probably about 14 of these things.
Oh, really?
It said on it, it had like stickers on it that said, instant bestseller.
Whatever that means.
Somebody got the stickers on sale.
It was funny.
No, it was embedded, man.
It was embedded into the cover.
So he wants James to make it a free hollow book.
I don't know if you can cut through that thing.
Oh, that's a...
Cut through the disc.
Too many pages.
I'm like, John will be angry.
Don't do that.
You're cutting out the best part.
My words.
My work.
That material is no good.
No, it's not.
But he says the floppy.
He stuck it in an old IBM and it booted right up.
Oh, yeah.
It still works.
Yeah.
Man, no problem.
No problem.
Anyway, so it has been great.
We have not killed each other.
Yet.
Which is good news.
If anything, our love is stronger.
I want to play you a funny clip.
Before you play a funny clip, I want to bring something up.
I was berated, or somebody brought up the point of this.
So I did a little research.
About this bullcrap Spanish gringo story.
Oh, yeah.
I guess I have to tell my part first, then.
It was me who told you that.
Relay the entire story to the public.
I was at the Nashville meetup, and one of our human resources, clearly Mexican, says, Please tell John the following.
Gringo is not...
Like some horrible word.
It comes from when the United States invaded Mexico.
They wore green uniforms.
And the Mexicans would say, green go home.
Green go home.
And that later got shortened to gringo.
What a crock!
I don't know why.
I believe her.
She looked credible.
Because you'll find me one piece of evidence that the U.S. Army ever wore a green uniform until 1902 when they wore olive drab.
Before then, beginning in 1821, Congress ordered national blue with gray wool pantaloons.
That was the Army uniform.
When did we invade Mexico?
What year was it?
1840, 1850.
So, there you go.
1840.
And they were wearing green uniforms.
That's where it stood from.
No, National Blue.
Hello?
Do you know what National Blue, what the color might be?
They were blue.
I thought you said...
In 1902, they had an olive drab, which even that wasn't green.
It's kind of an ugly looking brown.
I think we need to...
I don't know.
And if you look into it, gringo seems to be an old slang word for Greek used in Spain in the 1700s and it referred to anybody who didn't speak Spanish.
Hey man, don't shoot the messenger!
Especially not that I'm armed now.
Apparently this gringo story has floated around, but it's total bullcrap.
Alright, don't get angry at me.
I'm just relaying the message.
I'm just saying.
Hey, why don't you come out here on the road and listen to all this negativity about our show?
You know, see, because everyone's like...
When they come out and say, you know about your show, it's the second hour that bugs me.
No, what they say is, John said, this John, this John, this John.
Like, John's not here to defend himself, and why do I have to take all this?
Yeah, sure, I'll kiss your baby.
Not a problem.
Gringo.
I don't know.
Whatever.
So, um...
Al Sharpton has a show.
Oh, yeah.
Is this the Al Sharpton clip that I've been wanting to get?
I don't know.
This is the...
What is he on?
MSNBC or CNN? Yeah, it's MSNBC. He's replacing Olbermann, basically.
Oh, right.
Okay.
And they kind of bounce him around for now.
I don't think he actually has...
Does he technically have an actual show yet?
They're setting him up for one.
I don't know if...
And this guy's mush-mouthed.
He's got no broadcasting experience.
He gets good guests and sometimes asks good questions, but he's not a pro.
Well, I have an example of him not being a pro.
We sometimes just need to break through the veil and show people that this guy has no...
Message.
He's reading the script and quite poorly at that.
Tonight is the measure of whether the country begins in the state of Wisconsin a national drive to push back or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance.
But resist we much.
We must and we will much about that be committed.
What?
That would be much.
Isn't that awesome?
I'll play it again.
That's so funny.
About that, be committed.
Wait a minute.
I gotta roll it back to the beginning.
He can't read the prompter!
Here we go.
Tonight is the measure of whether the...
See, this is how he talks, is the measure of whether or not the United States begins in Wisconsin.
And you're like, he's so powerful, but he's reading the teleprompter.
Country begins in the state of Wisconsin, a national drive to push back.
Or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance.
But resist, we much.
We must and we will much about that be committed.
Resist, we much.
We much.
You will obey.
You will obey.
Resist, we much.
Gee, nice save, Al.
Resist, we much.
So, just letting you know, the guy's a phony!
Yeah, he's illiterate, let's face it.
Phony.
Frickin' phony.
He's always been a phony.
He's part of that, you know, those cliques, they set themselves up so they can just basically set up a charity and then extort money from corporations that they say they're going to...
People were telling me that about Jesse Jackson, who was from Chicago.
Oh yeah, Jesse Jackson's notorious.
But he's from Chicago.
I didn't realize he was from Chicago.
What?
Yes!
Yeah, I know he's from Chicago.
I thought everybody knew.
I didn't know that.
I always felt like a New York guy.
I don't know.
Oh, yeah, no, he's from Kenwood or whatever that little area is, Kenilworth or whatever it is, that real expensive part of town.
There's not a huge estate.
Right, and what happens is, you know, something goes down, he shows up, makes a big fuss about it, and then they pay him off to make him stop and say it's okay.
Yeah.
Well, actually, there's a bunch of reports coming out about how Acorn does this.
And what they do is they do these garbage dump runs.
And they say, look, we're sick of your bank screwing us.
We're going to dump garbage all over the place in front of your offices.
And they say, no, no, we're going to donate to you guys.
Oh, okay, never mind.
We'll go off.
Yeah, we're gone.
All right, that's good.
We need to do this.
I don't know why this isn't racketeering.
I don't know why we aren't doing it.
Well, because we're normal.
I mean, we're nice.
We're honest.
I think that's why.
A callback from the last show, where Gifford showed up on the House floor for the debt ceiling debate, and what happened immediately is the...
Nothing to see here.
Yeah, the Republican, the representatives...
Don't look over here.
Nothing to see here.
Ooh, look at that.
And the representatives immediately started thanking the pages.
And we're like, that's weird.
Yeah, I was with you on this until...
What's going on?
Yeah, it turns out that they...
They fired them all.
Yeah.
Now, this is only Congress, not the Senate.
The Senate page system is still in place.
But the congressional pages have all been fired.
The program has been stopped.
And this has been going on for a hundred years.
Yeah, the PAGE program has been over a hundred years, and they fired them all, and I still haven't found a reasonable explanation as to what's really going on.
I have one.
This is from thehill.com.
The program came under national scrutiny in the fall of 2006.
When it was revealed that then-Representative Mark Foley sent sexually explicit messages to at least one former page, Foley resigned a few weeks later as the scandal shook Capitol Hill.
I'm thinking this is pedo-bear.
This sort of thing has been going on since I was a kid.
Why is Mark Foley's one...
Well, maybe there was something else going on.
Maybe it was rampant.
But it's always been rampant.
Yeah, well, but, you know, now it's coming out.
Now we have interwebs.
It's not coming out.
We're not getting anything.
This is bull crap.
There's something else above and beyond the beetle bear perverts in Congress.
There's something else going on.
We'll see.
I think there's somebody knows something or somebody's, there's something screwy about it.
It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Say something.
. .
One other callback.
I have received, after we played the No Excuses University clips, oh man, I have received so many emails from educators who were saying, you have no idea, you're so spot on, there is so much outrageous MKUltra-like mind control, brain programming going on, it's horrible.
And these are like grade school teachers who...
And by the way, thank you so much for listening.
There is hope out there.
But apparently it's just...
It's rampant.
It's nuts.
I saw you had some research.
Do you want...
I'm kind of...
Actually, there's research I want to bring up in the second half of the show because it involves Area 51.
Hey!
And MKUltra, I hope.
Well, not really, but I mean, I can mention it.
Let's take a quick...
Quick trip around Gitmo Nation.
There's a couple of things.
Susan Rice came out, and they're heating things up around Syria, which I think actually may be a red herring.
Let's listen to her words at the United Nations.
By the way, these videos are very interesting to watch.
You can find them at state.gov, but also at un.int.
If you can get through the website, which is, you know, I don't know who built that, but that's got to be an $18 million website.
And it's very hard to find things.
And they're very selective at what they put up video-wise.
I think if you use the Google search site command, I think you can probably find it.
Google can't even figure out the UN site.
It's impossible.
But state.gov has some of these videos.
And so they have this setup right outside the United Nations, you know, like the council room or whatever it is.
And she always comes out like...
She's like, she walks like 100 miles a minute.
And her hair pulled back.
It must hurt her eyebrows how tight her hair is pulled back.
I don't know, man.
She's a very scary woman.
Well, the United States acts both in the context of the Security Council and in our bilateral and other co-regional relationships.
So we are working across the board to underscore that the behavior of Assad is absolutely unacceptable.
You know, he has lost any legitimacy to lead, and we think it is past, that it would be much, much better for the people of Syria, and Syria would be better off without Assad.
And we're looking to the future and looking to lend support to the people of Syria who have the same aspirations for freedom and democracy that we've seen in so many other parts of the world.
You know, I think you should...
Start to clip over and everybody should listen when she says Assad, think Cameron, and when she says Syria, think UK. Well, I'll just play the last minute.
You can still do it.
Continue our discussions and our efforts here in New York as well as elsewhere.
I am not...
I'm loathe to predict...
What does that mean?
I am loathe to predict?
Because she doesn't want to predict.
She doesn't want to make a prediction.
She'll make her sick to predict.
The loathe means sick?
Yeah, I loathe you.
That means you make me sick.
Because she smiled when she said it.
It was very weird.
She's like one of those people that does the inappropriate smiles.
Yeah, you're right.
Very annoying.
Yeah, you're right.
How exactly the council may respond in the future, I think, you know, I think council members have been moved by what they have seen of late and the intense...
Moved.
...fying and horrific violence against civilians.
In Britain.
But we've also been frustrated, quite candidly, that it has taken the council as long as it has.
How candid are you if you're saying this to the world press?
To be able to speak with one voice and we think that it's past time for all council members to put the interests of the Syrian people rather than particular bilateral issues or interests at the forefront of their action and for the council to continue as it did last week with our strong support to deliver a very strong message that what is happening in Syria is unacceptable and it needs to be stopped.
So, I have an analysis based upon some input I got from some military personnel who showed up at the Chicagoland meetup.
Before that, though, I went around, I was doing some research, trying to find some more stuff about Syria.
Of course, we have China and Russia both on the Security Council who do not want to invade, essentially, or create some kind of no-fly zone.
Russia, of course, because they have a naval base there, and they're going to be Parking an aircraft carrier there in 2012, I read the other day.
PBS NewsHour had a 15-minute piece, and they were talking to Syrian techno experts, who all live in Turkey, by the way, And they are, so of course they're trained by the State Department, and they're talking like they're in the middle of it, but they're in Turkey.
And if you look, one of these guys looks exactly like that Google guy, Gonad Wallum, whatever his name was.
So it's like they choose him not just on their social media skills, but on external appearance as well.
But he said something that I thought was kind of interesting.
Because, of course, evil Assad is turning off the electricity.
When you have no electricity, you can't charge your cell phone.
So, how would you do that, John, if you were out there and you're in Syria, in Hama, and you've got Assad killing you?
How would you charge your cell phone, man?
Well, I mean, I would sneak downtown where there is power and plug in, or I would find something with a laptop with some juice left, or I would get a solar panel if I could, but I don't think that's too late for that.
Those things suck.
I've tried those.
I would use my car.
Check this out.
...with batteries, because our battery is running out.
And not electric to recharge your equipment.
So for phone calls, we create a new way.
It's actually a simple way to recharge your phone.
We use a glass of water with two batteries, Duracell or something else.
It already exists everywhere.
We use it to keep the batteries in the water for one hour or 30 minutes.
Then you put the USB adapters inside the water and start charging.
How about that, huh?
That's bullcrap.
It sounds like he's saying buttocks.
You put your buttocks in the water?
Now what is he saying?
I can barely understand this guy.
It sounds like he's saying buttocks constantly.
What is he saying?
He dropped a battery in a bottle of water and the next thing you know it's charged?
What is he saying?
What he says is, you take a glass of water, you drop two Duracell batteries in there for about half an hour to an hour, And then you plug in a USB cable into your phone and put the USB that normally goes into your computer into the glass of water.
This is bogus.
There's no way this works.
I was like, really?
I mean, so if this guy is saying this, then he's full of bullcrap on everything else.
Yeah, I would think.
Can someone try this experiment?
Maybe it works.
Why bother trying it?
It's bullcrap.
I knew you'd love it.
Like, really?
You can do that?
So he throws two batteries, take two batteries and call me in the morning.
He throws two batteries in a glass of water, stir, wait 30 minutes, then just drop your USB cable in and it'll start charging.
Unbelievable.
And the guy on PBS is like, oh, that's great.
Great idea.
The guy on PBS is an idiot.
Yeah.
Doesn't that kind of show you what else is going on on PBS? Please.
Wow.
That's the clip of the day already.
That is the clip of the day.
I mean, you can't beat that.
That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard, and you've got a guy from PBS lapping it up like a moron, like a puppy.
Really?
Oh, that's so ingenious.
You're so inventive.
So smart.
So good.
And then there's a lot of...
This reminds me of the joke.
Maybe the guy's just playing a joke.
I mean, it's like the shave with butter gag.
The what?
Well, if you want to get the smoothest shave you'll ever get, and I'll tell you this, it will actually work.
Instead of using shave foam, use butter.
Put some butter, just rub butter on your face, and then use your regular shaver and shave, and you'll see you get a beautiful, clean shave.
It's amazing.
Should I use butter or lard?
No, you should use butter.
Really?
And this is a gag, obviously?
Well, it's not really.
I mean, it does work, but there's a gag aspect to it.
But you have to actually do it to understand.
Why don't you just tell me what happens?
No.
It's probably bad.
There's no gag if I tell you what happens.
Can the ladies try this as well?
Oh yeah.
For their own personal shaving?
Sure, they can do it on their legs.
Just use butter.
Hey, from the squirrel department, we've got to throw it back to Oslo.
The Norwegian police, who of course didn't show up at the scene of the horrible crime of all these children getting massacred, Do you know what their excuse is?
Nah, forget it.
You don't know.
Here it is.
Norwegian police have admitted they failed to choose the shortest route to the island of Luteuil after the alarm was raised.
God.
Hey, which...
You're in Norway.
How many routes are there?
We got Google Maps.
The last month's massacre.
The force has come under much criticism for taking more than an hour to reach the victims of Anna's Bering Breivik, who killed 69 people in a shooting spree.
They could have flown there, I think, in like seven minutes.
And they have helicopter teams trained.
They didn't take the shortest route.
You just see a couple of these Norwegian cops, like the Keystone Cops.
Oh, this way, no, that way.
What does Google Maps say?
I don't know.
It does sound like the Keystone Cops.
Took the wrong route.
That's pretty insulting, I'd say.
So I have a couple of clips that we might as well discuss this for a minute.
You know, the economy, I don't know if you noticed this, but I think we're at the verge of a depression, right?
Well, yeah, we even identified that because owling and planking is very similar to pole sitting.
Right, pole sitting.
Right.
So let's play a couple of depressing or depression, a couple of clips that I want to get out of the way.
One is the depression coming CNBC clip.
We might as well play that so we get a little feeling for this.
Okay.
Okay.
You know what the result is going to be.
You're going to have a very painful landing.
That is what is going to happen.
There's nothing you can do about it.
You just have to resolve yourself to take the pain and hope that 5, 10, 15, 20 years down the road things will be better again.
So it's a double dip?
I don't know what double dip means.
If we are talking about another recession coming up, yes, certainly.
That is a recession followed by a recession in the next business cycle, five and a half years apart.
The danger is that this recession turns into something bigger, something from which there is no recovery, in other words, depression.
Roger, thank you so much for being in.
Don't like the message, but it's been a pleasure having you here for the last hour.
Roger Nightingale, Strategist for the RDN Associates.
Mark, thanks.
This is the British CNBC. That's CNBCW. So that is part one of the Doom.
Now the other one, which I thought was a little more entertaining as far as I'm concerned, which is the end of the...
This is another end of the Euro Doommeister guy who's an American, and I think this is worth listening to.
Okay.
And I think, you know, eventually you're going to see the DMARC as going to be a reserve currency, and you're going to get rid of the rest of the EU, but that's going to take a while.
The euro is going to fail.
You're saying that?
I'm saying that the combination in euro land of a multinational currency is doomed to fail because they're too big a cultural, financial, and attitude statement.
In what time frame, Stephen?
I predicted this five years ago, and I said it'll be a while, and I'll say now that I think after you kick out a couple of weak sisters, it could struggle on for another three, four years.
Hey, it's time to plan the Hot Pockets European Tour.
We're on this one too, by the way, for anybody interested.
Now, so, now that Standard& Poor's things happen, there's a bunch of doomsayers out there, all the stuff's going on.
Now, if we cut away from some of these stations and go to CNN, they're going to bring out the most interesting, just total facts.
That's so important.
This is the Stop the Press' WTF clip.
They're going to bring out, we're going to learn something.
It's very important.
Get ready for this.
Ladies and gentlemen, we now go over to CNN for some very important news.
You will learn something.
Downgrade.
I spoke Friday night to S&P's top man behind the downgrade.
He took care of...
Wait a minute.
It's Anderson Pooper.
Yes, and he's got this guy isolated, the guy who's behind the downgrade.
We're going to find out everything we need to know to fully understand the downgrade here on CNN. I love getting my news from Anderson Pooper.
I mentioned both taxes and entitlement spending, and no patience for finger-pointing.
Watch.
Watch.
Already on Twitter, other places, Republicans and Democrats are pointing the fingers at each other, at President Obama, at Congress.
Do you blame one side more than the other?
No, I think that there's plenty of...
This is CNN Breaking News.
What?
We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and of course all around the world to this breaking news.
Diana Nyad, the 61-year-old marathon swimmer, has ended her attempt to swim from Cuba to Key West Florida.
Now this ended her quest some 29 hours into her effort.
CNN's Matt Sloan joins us on the line near Havana.
Wait, wait, do I have to listen to this whole thing?
Well, you can skip it.
This goes on forever, by the way.
You can cut to the chase with Stop the Presses 2 where they kind of explain some very important facts because we had to drop the guy.
We had to stop Anderson Pooper.
So this was a pre-recorded bit.
Anderson is at home in his penthouse in New York.
You know, he's got his shaven chest.
He's all oiled up and he's like, I'm going to watch myself.
Oh my goodness, what are they doing?
They've got to keep me modest!
To recover, she seems to be very sick to her stomach and they're trying to warm up her body after spending nearly 30 hours in the water of Rosemary.
And we have heard she has been vomiting, but there are also complications of asthma.
She's experiencing pain in her shoulders as well.
That's a lot of problems for a 61-year-old who had such an ambitious goal there to swim from Cuba to the United States.
Wait, does the guy ever come back?
Keeping them honest.
They stopped the presses for this stupid story about this woman who's a big fat woman, by the way, trying to swim.
She has to be so cold.
She's throwing up.
And they stopped the presses for this report.
We could have heard it two weeks from now.
Who cares?
She's throwing up.
She's throwing up, ladies and gentlemen.
This is new news.
Wait, she's throwing up and she has a sore shoulder.
Oh, wow.
It just was like my jaw dropped.
I'm waiting to hear why we changed the S&P and all the rest.
They pulled this on me.
That's funny.
That's CNN, ladies and gentlemen.
That's your news source.
That's right.
I'm going to throw a shoe out of you.
Nice.
I did see Ron Paul on, I think it was also CNN. Of course, I've been enjoying the price of gold.
Which is well above $1,700 once again after, John, I think two weeks ago you said it's time to start selling.
Yeah, I think now you should really start dumping.
So the guy, I forget his name, he asked Ron Paul, hey, do you think this would go to $2,000, $3,000?
Of course, I would be like, yeah, sure, it's going to go to $20,000.
Do you think that it can go to $2,000, $3,000?
Oh yeah, because it could go to zero if we continue to do what we're doing.
Because the bubble that I'm concerned about, I don't think gold is what you would call a bubble.
I think the bubble is in the price of bonds.
I mean, how could anybody have this much trust in the bonds and buy a 30-year bond and earn the interest rates they're making?
That's where the big bubble is.
But I think what's happening today, and why I see this as such a serious thing, is that I think what we're dealing with is the end of the dollar reserve standard.
And that's a worldwide phenomenon.
It's not just for the United States.
Just think how many dollars we've exported.
How many people hold dollars.
And if this dollar is in big trouble, which is what I think is the problem, I mean, this is just not a minor problem.
This is probably a bigger problem than the world has ever faced before.
Never has been a fiat currency been used as a reserve standard so pervasively around the world.
And there's not many other places to go, even though they're still going to treasury bills, but eventually they're going to give up.
I mean, just look at what's happening to Swiss francs.
There aren't enough Swiss francs for everybody to buy Swiss francs.
So there's not much left other than commodities, you know, and real value.
So actually, I think that's what's going to happen.
But it's going to reflect the devaluation of the dollar.
I was really impressed in 1971 when the dollar relationship to gold went up three dollars an ounce.
And I was really impressed and motivated me to get very much involved in politics.
I think in 1971 when gold went up $3, you told everyone to sell then too, didn't you John?
That was before my time.
Yeah.
I heard you and Horowitz talking about it.
You really think that this is just all a big scam, and once the public has it, then they're going to dump it.
Once the public is all in, yeah, then they pull the rug out from it.
That's what they do.
I think you're right.
Like I said, the joke was, here's the joke, I'm a big gold dealer, and I like gold so much that I want you to buy my gold, so I'm advertising on the radio.
Buy my gold.
Buy my gold.
It's going to go up.
If it's going to go up, why are you selling it?
Well, a lot of people bought this at $35.
That was a while back.
No, it doesn't matter.
Yeah, I'm saying hold on to it, hold on to it until it hits four...
Well, if you're going to just keep holding on to it, what's the point?
You've just got a bunch of gold and you're dead.
You've got to sell it someday.
No, I'm going to keep it until we...
Until you die, and then what's the point?
You won't have any money to spend.
Will you let me finish?
I'm going to hold on to it until that is the only monetary unit that is still used.
That'll be the day.
Yeah, that's going to happen.
Atlas Shrugged.
Are you supposed to save this bullcrap to the end of the second half of the show?
Wait until you hear what I have for the second half of the show.
Oh, yeah.
It's much better than that.
It gets good.
If this is the Atlas Shrugged clip, there's any indication I doubt it.
For the lawmakers and politicians who listen to this program religiously, and I know you're out there...
All aboard!
Train's good, plane's bad.
Next time you come out and say, We're behind!
China's!
China is so...
They're ahead of us!
China!
They got high-speed rail!
China's all good!
How's that working out for China?
Let's have a listen.
What they're going to do is they're going to suspend approval of new railway projects.
What we're going to see on construction projects already underway is safety checks, and we're going to see safety checks on the existing lines.
And the authorities have also announced, they've also said, that bullet trains will now operate at reduced speeds.
This is all coming about because of that deadly train crash about three weeks ago, in which at least 40 people were killed, an accident that called in to question the safety of the country's high-speed rail network.
There was huge public anger following that crash.
It was symptomatic of other grievances.
We saw it vented online, but we also saw it, very interestingly, we saw it in the state media.
And one of the main accusations was that the authorities were jeopardizing safety in the rush to modernize the country.
There was also accusations of corruption.
So certainly a great deal of public anger and a great deal of public anger towards the authorities because of corruption, because of safety, because some people in China feel that the authorities have got their own interests first.
Yeah.
So, next time someone's talking about this high-speed rail we need, and saying that China is so great, what did I hear there?
Corruption?
They're rushing too fast to make it all happen?
They've got to reduce the speeds?
It's just not a good idea, people.
Well, this is not just with the high-speed rail over there.
I mean, you know, right now, China is the center of all cool architectural development.
I mean, there's great buildings going up left and right, all done by international architects.
And all these guys say this is, you know, all these architects love to have some place to showcase their buildings because a lot of people won't build these buildings.
The Chinese will build anything.
But they're a little concerned by the fact that if you actually go up to the building, You know, it's not built quite up to standards, and it could collapse.
Yeah.
It's beautiful, but it's like, you know, if you want to be inside, you're taking a risk.
Yeah, those China bolts.
Well, I was reading in the Idaho Statesman that a China company wants to build a 50-square-mile self-sustaining city just south of Boise.
Which would be modeled after one of these special economic zones, I guess with these same buildings that they have in China.
Huh.
Yeah.
Interesting, right?
Yeah, good luck with that.
Yeah.
China.
So I have a couple of off-the-wall clips.
You know how Bill Maher is a real drum pounder for climate change?
Oh yeah, he's huge.
Yeah, he's always been big.
Big, huge.
Big.
It was just weird.
I mean, the way he...
I know he's trying to be kind of elusive here.
He was talking to the woman who was the head of the Economic Council, that large framed gal.
Christy Romer.
Yeah, about the economy, and it wasn't really developing anything.
But Mark says the following screwy thing that just backed me up a little bit.
Tell me if you can spot it.
That comprehensive package that also deals with our long-run problems.
And that would have been a very sensible thing to do.
But we don't do sensible things.
This is America.
And also, it seems, you know, things that used to be just settled.
You know, like, I used to think evolution was settled by the Scopes trial in the 20s.
I used to think climate change.
You know, we agreed that that was really happening in man-made.
That's now perhaps a hoax.
And the other one is Keynesian economics.
I remember Nixon in 1970 said, we're all Keynesians.
This is actually a fractal.
John, let me tell you what the fractal is.
Bill Maher had a show on in, I think it was Channel 5 in New York, so what was it?
Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, it was at CBS. He had a late night talk show.
ABC. ABC, there you go.
And it was pretty popular in the late 90s.
Called Politically Incorrect.
Politically Incorrect.
And then 9-11 happened, and he came out and he said, you know, you can't, the president can't call these guys cowards, because they weren't cowards.
They flew airplanes into buildings.
That is not a cowardice act.
And the sponsors pulled out.
He was run out of the country.
Run out of the country.
Oh, wait, wait.
You've got to add the extra kicker to that.
He also said that we're the cowards because we sit offshore and send in missiles.
That's true.
So what's happening, Bill Maher, of course, we've been irked and irritated by his program on HBO since it went on the air because he's so on board with everything, and now he's turning around.
It's turning around.
And you listen to the audience, where's the hooting and hollering?
The audience is going to turn on this guy.
They will turn.
It's a fractal.
Yes, this audience is a...
He's going to get kicked off the air.
He's going to get kicked off the air, you watch, because he's not on board with the program.
So, meanwhile, Al Gore is pissed.
Yeah, we both have that clip.
Let me see how long yours is, if it's the same length.
I got the whole clip.
Okay, I think I have the whole clip, too.
But the audio was so outrageously crap.
This isn't too bad.
Okay.
We'll listen to yours, and then I have a different Al Gore clip.
They pay pseudoscientists to pretend to be scientists.
The science is in!
This climate thing, it's nonsense.
Man-made CO2 doesn't trap.
It's not.
It may be volcanoes.
Bullshit!
It may be sunspots.
Bullshit!
It's not getting warmer.
Bullshit!
And there's about ten other memes that are out there, and when you go and talk to any audience about climate, you hear them washing back at you.
The same crap over and over and over again.
They have polluted the...
There's no longer a shared reality on an issue like climate, even though the very existence of our civilization is threatened.
People have no idea.
What an old lady.
Wait, let's hit this floor.
The science is in!
Science!
So where was this recorded?
That's the one thing I didn't understand, the context of it.
I think it was given a speech somewhere.
The funny thing was it was bleeped on everything I've ever heard, except that some people have the original copy.
Cable, the BBC, everybody who played any pieces of it, they just played a chunk, they didn't play the whole thing, and they kept beeping it.
You know, this whole beeping thing and saying R-word, N-word, A-word, C-word, it's very weird.
It's pathetic.
You know, when Mickey lived in Los Angeles nine years ago for about two years, and this was around the time of the O.J. Simpson trial, and she showed up from Gitmo Nation Lowlands, and she's a little Dutch girl, and she thought the N-word meant Nicole.
She didn't know what it was all about.
Anyway, Gore was on Olbermann's program.
Some other douche knuckle was sitting in.
Wait a minute!
Oh, I mean, he just started his new show and he's already got a substitute host?
Yeah, it's vacation.
Geez!
I want to focus on one particular suggestion you had about using the wonderful digital tools that are newly available for the reinvigoration of democracy.
Now, they've been around for a while, but they're spreading far and wide and more people are getting involved.
We need to have an American Spring.
Yeah!
Arab Spring, the non-violent part of it, isn't finished yet.
Like in the UK! Yeah!
This is great!
He's a terrorist!
He's calling out terrorist activities!
He's a terrorist!
Somebody arrest the man!
Terrorist!
He's a terrorist!
But we need to have an American Spring, a kind of an American Tahrir Square, non-violent change, where people from the grassroots get involved again.
Not in the Tea Party style.
You know, there are people who are genuinely upset in the Tea Party.
I understand that.
But that movement was funded with seed money from right-wing billionaires.
This is patently not true.
The actual Tea Party movement started with the Tea Party money bomb from Ron Paul.
It was then co-opted and hijacked.
Yeah, now there's a half a dozen Tea Parties that are not really connected to each other except in some basic thesis.
The Koch brothers and promoted on Fox News and turned into a stalking horse for this right wing agenda that a lot of people have been trying to push on this country for a long time.
What's sacrosanct for them?
It is to have absolutely no tax increases on the wealthiest Americans.
They're at a low level now.
And to try to shrink down government so they can get it out of the way of powerful corporations and special interests so that they can have free reign.
And the Supreme Court, of course, has now declared that they're persons and can make these secret contributions.
I want to tell you, Keith, this country is in trouble.
Our democracy...
The funny thing is, it's not Keith.
That's what's so cool.
Is he sitting there, or is he on the TV? No, he's on the TV. And so he could have said Keith?
Yeah.
What an idiot.
Has been withering on the vine.
It really has been.
This has been going on for some time.
But this is not an event that can be taken lightly.
Now, so we need an American Spring.
Why is Gore back on the radar?
What is he doing?
They let him out of the penalty box after all that groping and all the other perverted sex acts that he was trying to do with women.
Pedo bear.
Pedo bear.
So I guess they gave him enough time.
He's like, okay, we want you to lay low for about a year.
About a year, right?
Yeah, no, less than a year.
I think it's less.
Well, maybe.
Well, maybe it's a...
I don't know.
33 weeks.
So what is the...
I don't know.
I don't know what he's doing.
Maybe his climate...
Well, he's got a lot of attention with that bullshit, bullshit, bullshit thing.
Yeah.
Which he wanted.
He planted.
It was planted.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Bullshit.
Yeah.
And now you have him showing up on Olbermann.
So something's up.
He's either got a new movie coming out.
We've got to talk about movies after the break.
However, there's a clip that I wanted to play which really brought it all together for me.
And this is of Charlie Rose.
Charlie Rose, who of course gets all sexed up by his female guests.
Tell me about the sexuality.
It's in your DNA. Hey, your DNA is sexuality.
I'm Charlie Rose.
I'm sitting in a dark room with you.
And he has George Will on.
And George Will, is he just a journalist, or is he also an author?
He's a notorious columnist, very conservative, always presented what appears to be a reasonable conservative counter-argument to any liberal bias that some of these shows have.
He's dropped in as the conservative stooge on these shows where there's a conversation going on, and his main competition is the other guy, I choose the name of It deludes me at the moment.
The guy in the wheelchair.
Oh, Krauthammer?
Krauthammer is his main competition.
Okay.
So it's an anti-constitutionalist thing.
And of course we've spoken about this.
And George Will actually just like opened my eyes when he said, this is what it's all about.
So it starts off, they're talking about the American exceptionalism.
Remember we picked up on that meme, the exceptionalism of America.
We're so exceptional.
Exceptionalism.
And Obama actually played that down.
A while back, I think probably the start of his presidency, by saying, well, you know, I'm sure the Brits think they're exceptional, and the Germans think they're exceptional.
Yeah, he didn't understand the meme.
Right, but the exceptionalism of America means something very specific.
And what you're about to hear is Charlie Rose, not once, but actually twice, goes in and starts saying, hey, you know, but this Constitution, it was written a long time ago, and, you know, what do we know?
It's like, it's a thing...
By the way, I'm very disconcerted by the fact that Rose and other left-wing supposed moderate talking heads are all on the same anti-constitution.
Let's get rid of it.
Let's have a new constitutional convention.
Let's start from scratch.
This is no good.
Let's do what Iceland's doing.
This bothers me.
Now before I launch into that, I'll have to get this for you for Sunday's show.
Thank you very much.
And a groupie in the chat room, there is a reality show coming out called Climate Reality, which is Gore's new show.
So good call, John.
Good call.
You got it.
He's promoting the show.
Anyway, so this whole thing about the founders, they didn't have internets, they didn't have clutch cars, they didn't have any of that stuff.
You know, this whole constitution doesn't really apply to modern life.
Turns out, do you know who the first guy was to say this?
The first guy to say that this constitution thing doesn't apply, that it was written a long time ago?
Can you guess who that was?
Very famous guy?
Thomas Jefferson.
Close.
It was actually Madison.
Madison was a notorious anti-constitutionalist.
A hundred years ago is when this started.
Okay, so listen to this, and George Will breaks it down for us in this two-minute clip and says this is actually what the whole debate is about, about big government, small government, and American exceptionalism.
America has a long intellectual pedigree, tracing all the way back to de Tocqueville.
De Tocqueville said Americans are different because they were born free.
Because they were born free, they have no feudal past, they have no entrenched aristocracy, they have no established religion.
We had an exceptional revolution that did not try to create a government that would deliver happiness, but we created a government that would get out of the way of the individual pursuit of happiness by respecting pre-existing rights, that is, rights that existed before the government.
We have an exceptional constitution in that it does not say what the government must do for us.
It says what the government may not do to us.
That is the core of American exceptionalism.
American exceptionalism today is also seen through the prism of whether those values will serve us today in a 21st century world that's very different.
That is the argument.
That's exactly the argument, is whether or not the founders are out of date.
Woodrow Wilson said as much.
Woodrow Wilson, a century ago, became, well, almost in 2012, became the first American president to criticize the American founding, and he did so root and branch.
It was not around the edges.
What did he say?
He said the American Constitution was fine for a time when we had 4 million people, 80% of them living within 20 miles of Atlantic Tidewater, but now we are united by copper wires and steel rails.
We're a national economy, and frankly, it's out of date.
What he focused on particularly was the separation of powers.
He said it inhibits the government from being able to act nimbly, decisively, boldly, constantly.
That was the progressive agenda, was to try and overturn the Madisonian restraints.
Went to Philadelphia in the summer of 1787.
They didn't go to create an efficient government.
The idea would have horrified them.
Well, they wanted a safe government.
Two which ends.
They created a government full of blocking mechanisms.
Three branches of government.
Two branches of legislative branch.
Vito, veto.
Override supermajorities.
And yet, I can think of nothing that the American people have wanted intensely and protractedly that they did not get.
The system works.
But is the system today broken?
Not at all.
People say, oh gosh, dysfunctional Washington, you can't do big things.
Well now, under Barack Obama, in the current polarized atmosphere, he passed health care reform that essentially advanced the nationalization of 18% of the American economy.
That's big, and it got done.
So unfortunately they go into the whole Obamacare thing after that, but it was really an eye-opener.
And people who don't understand what America's roots are, as he said, we were born free, as free as the wind blows.
Can somebody get that for me?
I need that for the clip show.
And it is absolutely true.
Our constitution was created to block the government.
Yeah, to stop, because they came from a tradition.
And by the way, this is still going on.
Those governments, the Cameron government, there's your classic new government, you know, the constitutional monarchy.
Yeah, let's bring out the military.
Let's shoot people.
Let's shoot them and let's, you know, put cameras on every corner.
And they're more nimble.
Oh, we need nimble.
We don't need nimble.
I agree 100% with what he said.
Now, there's an interesting little side note, which I have this good lecture on party politics, which is a historian talking on C-SPAN, who wraps up The fact that we have a divisive Congress right now with the Republicans on one side and Democrats on the other.
And he kind of summarizes it.
I thought one of the best concise ways, this is like a two-minute clip, that I think is very educational and I think it fits in on top of the other one.
And the question is, will this resolve itself?
And what's happened is that the government has been slightly corrupted by I believe by gerrymandering, which he explains in here, but play this good lecture on party politics.
I think it kind of brings this even closer to something meaningful.
That Obama faces a challenge that Lyndon Johnson did not face, that Franklin Roosevelt didn't really have to deal with, and that is we have gone beyond the days when bipartisanship was at all possible.
In the 1960s, until the 1960s, both political parties included both Liberals and conservatives.
So it was possible, for example, for civil rights legislation, further legislation in the 1960s, to find a coalition that included people from both parties because the Democratic Party had all those Democratic Southern conservatives.
But it also had Liberal Democrats, big city Democrats.
The Republican Party had Northeastern liberals and it had Midwestern conservatives.
But with the passage of civil rights, more precisely, when Lyndon Johnson nailed the flag of the Democratic Party to civil rights reform, he gave those Southern conservatives permission to leave the Democratic Party.
And they did, with the result that they all became Republicans.
And the South became the center of gravity of the Republican Party.
We've achieved a point now where, if you are a conservative in this country, you are a Republican.
If you are a liberal in this country, you are a Democrat.
And there's effectively no overlap, with the result that the parties sift themselves out.
Add to this the perfection, if you want to use that term, of gerrymandering with computers, so that nearly every seat in the House of Representatives is safe for incumbents.
So, Republicans in Congress do not have to worry about a challenge from the left.
They're all looking over their right shoulder.
And Democrats are looking over their left shoulder.
So, the days when you could reach across the aisle to form some kind of consensus, they're gone, at least for the time being.
Some of the states are appointing independent commissions.
to draw congressional districts and that will dilute the power of party to some extent but for now we're stuck in this age where you know you can't expect the other party to go along with you we gotta get our guns So what he's saying, which is, by the way, if you think about it, people want to change the Constitution, would not change this phenomenon by any means.
No.
What has crept into the party politic is the fact that, like, for example, we have a Republican congressman around here, and his district is part of this town, a chunk of that town, all these little Republican areas, and they create these phony districts.
They're not like a town.
It's like a strip of land plus a gob of town and then another town over.
It's not even continuous anymore or contiguous.
Yeah, so these lines go all crooked like a...
They're all crooked.
All over the place, just so they can keep the guy in.
And that's where the guy says, like, now the only reason that anything's changing is because the Republicans have to worry about, you know, it's a Tea Party guy coming in and taking their job because they say, you're not conservative enough.
They don't have to worry about some Democrat taking their job.
Right.
And changing the Constitution is not going to change this.
What's going to change it is to create, you know, real congressional districts that represent a town or an area rather than, you know, just a bunch of Republicans that happen to be in a string of development zones all on fiber optic channels.
I mean, this whole thing has been bullcrap together.
Nobody's complained about it.
It's gotten worse by the day.
Well, apparently...
That's the problem, not the Constitution.
Agreed.
And apparently, this redistricting is of no use anyway.
Because everyone is going to run away from the East Coast to West Virginia.
I have proof that it's going to happen.
There's a drill on the 17th of August for exactly this reason, and they're testing out the radios just to make sure they're ready for the drill.
The Department of Homeland Security wants West Virginia to be prepared for a mass migration, but between our roads and our more rural areas, the authorities here aren't sure it can be done.
Stacey Jacobson visited with them while they tested it out today.
How'd they do, Stacey?
Officials say the test went pretty well, Albert, with just some minor setbacks.
Oops.
That's exactly why they did the test to prepare for the real exercise.
Beep!
Citizens of West Virginia are really resilient as far as people are at their best when things are at their worst.
But in the event of a massive emergency that forces a large number of people to head to West Virginia, that resilience might not be enough.
And that's why nine counties in the region want to ensure that their communication systems are ready.
Tuesday, they tested them out.
So, there's an actual drill taking place on the 17th for this reason.
The Department of Homeland Security is preparing West Virginia for a mass migration.
Why are people going to head to West Virginia?
Do they change the barbecue theory or what's the deal?
I don't know.
And why West Virginia?
Isn't that kind of mountainous?
They're expecting all of the lone wolves to go hit the mountains of West Virginia.
I don't know.
Why are they having the drill?
I don't know.
You're the one that follows these drills.
And it's funny, because if you watch this clip, it's a local West Virginia, I think it's made at Clarksburg Station.
He's got these guys with the flowerpot haircut, sitting there, a big blob of a guy, going like, yeah, well, the radios don't work too good.
And they're holding walkie-talkies with stickers on them and stuff.
We might have to use ham radios.
Might not all work.
Not too sure.
Not too sure.
Oh, you know, I forgot to do my whole rap about Syria.
About why Syria is a red herring.
Oh, yeah, you know, you started and then you got sidetracked and the next thing you know we didn't hear it.
Why is Syria a red herring?
Well, just nothing to see here clip.
Come on, come on, come on.
Don't look over here!
Nothing to see here!
I realize that clip was so underused recently.
Yeah, we've got to bring it back.
Yeah, you're right.
Because the kids aren't singing it.
If you look at the Facebook page, and I forgot to clip it, there's a kid, maybe three years old, on video, singing all of our jingles.
It's outrageous.
I'll have it for Sunday.
I forgot to get it.
So one of our military experts who showed up at the Chicagoland meetup, he has been doing drills for the past two years in Azerbaijan.
And here's the drill.
The drill is there is a natural disaster in Azerbaijan.
Now if you look at the map, Azerbaijan borders on Iran.
Yeah.
And they've been doing drills for a natural disaster, be it an earthquake, a flood, or both, which of course is my favorite topic.
And they expect to have a whole bunch of IDPs, which is Indisplaced Persons, And then at that moment, Iran would launch a so-called, air quotes, attack on Azerbaijan, which would force NATO to then go and attack Iran.
How's that for a theory?
That's a pretty good and convoluted concept.
So the idea is they turn on the earthquake machine, they screw up Azerbaijan.
You can just wait for this to happen now.
Has Azerbaijan ever had bad earthquakes or floods?
Are they known for it?
They're not known for a lot.
Right.
Except for that they're Iran's next-door neighbors.
Yeah, which is all you need.
So the U.S. military has been training for this.
Training for two years in Azerbaijan for a natural disaster such as an earthquake, a flood, or both.
And then what would happen is you'd have all these people running around, no place to go.
Iran then attacks, which of course would be a fake attack, just like the Russians fake attack Georgia.
Giving NATO... Is Azerbaijan part of NATO? No.
You sure?
Yeah.
I don't know.
But, of course, under the new presidential study directive...
I'll look it up.
Yeah.
There's a good idea for you.
Of course, under the new atrocities panel that our president has ordered by presidential directive...
We won't be able to sit by idly as Iran attacks Azerbaijan, and that would be our final path to Persia to go in and kick their ass.
No.
The last two members were Albania and Croatia.
Now, their neighbors are Georgia, aren't they?
Isn't Georgia up there as well?
No, Georgia's not in either.
That's a big stink.
That's what Russia doesn't want Georgia joining.
No, but Georgia is right next door to Azerbaijan.
Well, I'm going to have to look at my maps to make sure.
And, according to my source, check this out.
Azerbaijan has huge statues of Bill Clinton everywhere.
Yeah.
They love Bill Clinton.
Just like Georgia has, you know, the George W. Bush airport and Bush highway.
Right, Georgia loves Bill Clinton.
No, Azerbaijan loves Bill Clinton.
I'm sorry, Georgia loves Bush and Azerbaijan, yeah.
I didn't know about that.
Okay, yeah, you're right, they're right, they're bumped up against each other.
They're right there, right?
And we know that we had a false flag with Russia and Georgia.
So maybe that was just a little test, and Azerbaijan is next.
Well, something's up.
Well, we'll follow it.
Well, I would actually like it to be...
I'd like it to be in the book.
Oh, you're going to put a prediction in.
Okay, hold on.
Yeah.
I can't grab this URL. Here we go.
Okay, so the prediction is that there will be some hot action.
Well, the prediction is earthquake machine.
Right.
Hello?
Okay, I'm writing.
Yeah, the prediction...
It's all handwritten, the book.
By the way, I'm going to take this book when we're done.
It's almost about halfway done.
And make photocopies and then sell them.
You're writing it longhand.
Yeah, we are.
With a sharpie or with a number two pencil?
With a pen I picked up at a trade show.
I highlight it if it's a prediction so I can find them faster.
So the prediction is we'll have an earthquake machine event, and then Iran will create an attack on Azerbaijan, which then will prompt us under our Anti-Atrocities Act, which is forthcoming, to go in and attack Iran.
I think you've got...
I think these are actually three predictions.
You're combining them into one?
No, call them three.
First, we call natural disaster.
Then we call attack.
Then we call countermeasures.
Yeah.
Okay.
I think I have the kids' jingles here.
Thanks.
I'm not sure who did that.
Here we go.
Good morning.
Ding!
Ding!
Hot pockets!
On board!
On board!
Flying good!
Playing bad!
Woo!
Adios!
Adios, mofos!
I'm going to show my spoon by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda.
In the morning.
How cute is it to teach your kid to say adios mofos?
I can just see this kid in kindergarten.
Yeah.
What?
Now, tie your shoelaces.
Adios mofos!
I got to clip that one.
That one's just got to be its own little clip here.
Adios.
Adios mofos!
Yeah, that should be a regular.
That's got to be a regular clip.
So, we don't have a...
Actually, we were a little short on this show, but let's roll out who we've got.
Edward Goering in Overland, Missouri.
Goering?
He has the same last name as one of the best...
No, Goering, I think, has an H in his name.
This guy doesn't.
Oh, okay.
I need some karma work.
I've been sucking extra lately and I need a better job.
Tell Black Cat hi for me.
You've got karma.
You got this anonymous here?
That's $111.11.
Yeah, we have an anonymous from NEP in the UK. Oh, he works for a division of the N.E.P. $110.
Peter...
Boekelman!
Boekleman Boekleman Boekleman Boekleman Boekleman Boekleman Boekleman Netherlands $100 Jeremy Hopkins, he made it sound like he gave 10 donations.
Jeremy Hopkins in Regina, rhymes with Saskatchewan, $75.
Timothy Nussi.
Nussi.
I would say Nussi.
He is Nussi?
I think it's Nussi, yeah.
I think it's Nussi.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Whitby, Ontario, $66.66.
Matthew Perkins in Temple, Texas, Czech Republic.
We're one of the two.
Hey!
Here's in the morning from Gitmo Nation, Pivo.
Here's 1,000 check crowns, which turns out to be $58.95, to help with the Hot Pockets Tour and any chance of some karma for his job.
Hot Pockets!
You've got karma.
Double nickels on a dime for Matthew Wilbur in Rutherglen, Virginia.
First, it was great to see Adam and Mickey at the meet-up in Fredericksburg last month.
I only wish John had been there, perhaps, at the wrap-up meeting in December, or in D.C. How about that?
I wanted to give myself a shout-out for my birthday.
He's going to get that.
Some karma for his wife, who is starting her new career as a nurse.
You've got karma.
Hey, how about that?
He also created a website called gitmonationmoniker.com, which will have all the Gitmo Nations, the correct names for all the Gitmo Nations out there.
So how about you coming to the final meetup?
I'm still looking into it.
Andrew Johnson in San Francisco, California.
$50.
I'd like to put some karma on my new website about architecture.
Aplotofland.com.
You've got karma.
And then $50 each from David Middlebrook and Ellen Aberdenshire, UK. George Scanlon, Carpentersville, Illinois.
Sir Matthew Carey, Eastwood, South Australia.
Sir Tristan Lennon, Wagga Wagga Wagga, New South Wales and...
Tristan Wilson-Kerrigan, which is interesting to me.
Padbury, Western Australia.
Thanks everybody for helping us out on this particular show.
We need more of the same for an upcoming Sunday episode.
And go to your email boxes.
We have a note in there for you to read.
And I've got a couple of thanks to some Hot Pockets producers.
Some of them are really creative.
They make some beautiful cards and letters.
I got a number of books and t-shirts.
I got a t-shirt with Rick Perry Adios Mofos t-shirt.
I would first want to thank Larry Losoff.
He gave us $110 plus 75 euros, which I think brings...
He should be a knight with that.
Sir Sean Connolly, $333.00.
He joins the 333 Club.
Adam and Mickey, thanks for all the great work.
You are not only entertaining, you make a difference.
Sir Sean Connolly.
Notice he didn't put John on there, but of course, if you don't show up, that's what you get.
Stephen Fuchs gave us $50 with a letter here.
Could I get some karma from my new website, GermanPulse.com?
So we'll give you that there, Stephen Fuchs.
You've got karma.
And could you possibly call out my co-worker, Rich, for listening and not donating to the show?
Absolutely.
Vaginal Irrigation SACU. Then we want to thank our hosts here in Ohio, Brian and Susie Morris.
$250, which they really didn't have to get.
They left a note on the table after they left.
We're not expecting anything from someone who gives us their house, their car, their cats.
A whole deal.
Adam and Mickey, thanks so much for stopping by and house-sitting while we're gone.
A pleasure chatting with you.
Thanks for a great show each week.
Keep us entertained on the way to all our weddings.
They have a wedding video production company.
Hope this helps with some gas on the tour.
That sounds very sweet.
And they also gave us some maple syrup straight from their own trees here, which is awesome.
Right from the tree.
Nothing added.
Really?
Yeah.
How much maple syrup did they give you?
A jar.
They had 50 gallons this year.
Well, give me their address.
I need a gallon of maple syrup.
Yeah, we'll get you a gallon.
No, we'll get you a jar.
No!
You don't come on the Hot Pockets Tour.
Who knows if there's maple syrup?
If there was maple syrup, you'd be there.
I'll tell you what.
I'll bring maple syrup to the meet-up in D.C. So again, their websites, Susie is fantastic with all the gardening and the cooking, chiotsrun.com, C-H-I-O-T-S-R-U-N, and their video production company, secondmileproductions.com, 2ndmileproductions.com, and a reminder that we are house-sitting until tomorrow, and then they have house-sitters here, and there's guns, so don't show up.
Mofos.
Jesse Cruz.
$100 from Jesse.
I think he had...
Did he have a note here?
Yes.
Well, here's a note from Larry.
Adam John, great show.
Finally got a chance to donate.
Don't like PayPal.
Cash is king.
Hope this helps out.
Oh, $111.
I was born in 58.
Turned 53 this year.
Hope the 75 euro is enough for a little karma.
Oh, I must give him some karma then.
There we go.
I think I've got it.
You've got karma.
I'm glad Miss Mickey is doing all of the administration.
I'm pretty lost.
Coffee Grinds.
You know Coffee Grinds.
He tweets a lot.
He's at Coffee Grinds on the tweeters.
He gave me a t-shirt with a formula on it, and I couldn't...
I was like, what is this?
It is the formula the quants use to value the mortgage-backed securities.
Ha, ha, ha.
He says he walked around.
I think he's a trader or works in the exchange or something.
He's a quant.
You know the quants, those crazy mathematicians?
I actually gave a speech to the quants once.
They're all out of Chicago.
I mean, that's where it started.
Right, right.
And they do quantitative analysis of the market.
They're a completely new form of economist, the newest and most modern.
And I went up and, besides giving my talk on computers, I sat through a bunch of the talks by some of these people and it's fascinating.
But it's all very mathematical, but it's quite interesting.
They're still underappreciated.
So the t-shirt, and I'm happy, by the way, because I only have one gray t-shirt on the road.
The t-shirt has the formula P equals omega, and then in parens, A, B, Y, and then it's an at option monster, and that is the actual formula that tanked the economy.
So he says he walked around the Chicago exchange for a day, no one even noticed it.
That's typical.
Tony and Kate Marengo gave me the Rick Perry Adios MoFo t-shirt.
Thank you so much.
Love that.
Sean Pyle gave me three Ron Paul books.
What did he give me here?
Can I give you something to read while driving?
Yeah, he gave me End the Fed, he gave me The Revolution, and he gave me Liberty Defined.
Really appreciate that.
Now, I have one orphan book, and if you're going to give me a book, please write your name in it or something so I know who it came from, so I feel bad I don't know who gave me this.
Everything I Want to Do is Illegal, is the title of this book, War Stories from the Local Food Front.
It's pretty cool.
You see a little farmer there and a USDA tank rolling up, pointing weapons at him.
That's right.
That's where it's going, mofos.
And then, of course, Sean and Missy, who Sean took us out shooting, and Missy made us a great dinner, and we hung out and watched some C-SPAN, although, unfortunately, C-SPAN is now all on the repeats, because everyone's on vacation.
Well, I get like six weeks vacation, seven weeks vacation, something like that.
Yeah.
Douchebags.
So what we didn't mention at the beginning of the show is this program really only works with your help.
And we are not fake.
Such as Top Gear...
Did you hear about this?
No, was Top Gear was busted?
Yeah, they were busted.
So they're always harping on the battery cars, which of course is cool, because we think they suck too.
But they had the Nissan Leaf, and the way they set it up is they were going to do a race, a distance race, and the Leaf ran out of juice, and of course you had people pushing the car across the finish line.
Yeah, they did the same thing with the Tesla.
They ran out of juice.
Yeah, Tesla I think actually sued them for that.
But in the video, you see that the battery level was 40% down before they started the race.
So this turns into a Nissan Leaf.
It's like, oh, very funny, but you screwed us, making it look like our electric car is a piece of crap.
And Jeremy Clarkson, when confronted with the facts, said, yeah, I knew it, but hey, this is how television works.
That's your show that you all love so much, because it's so awesome, and it's so fair, and it's so right on.
Adios, mofo.
Adios, mofo.
It's a birthday, birthday.
Oh, no, my gender.
So I will play the mind-controlling jingle in a moment, dvorak.org slash nap.
Please help us out, we need it desperately.
Birthdays today, Sir Pete Snakes, he celebrates and he's congratulating himself and Matthew Wilber congratulates himself as his birthday is tomorrow on the 12th.
Happy birthday from your buddies here at the No Agenda Show, everybody.
Happy birthday, yeah!
Now open your mind to borat.org slash na.
Please, help a brother out.
Become part of the show.
Go to NoAgendaShow.com, Dvorak.org slash NA, ChannelDvorak.com slash NA, or No Agenda Nation, where you can also pick up a coin while you're there.
Yeah, the new 333 coin, and please help us out, particularly during the summer months when lots of people are on vacation.
I can see the listening numbers are down.
It's normal, but that's when we actually need the help, because it's not like my rent went down.
Did yours go down?
John, you don't have rent.
Do you own that house?
Do you have a mortgage?
Yeah, we pay a monthly fee.
It goes up and down and flops around.
It's terrible.
Your mortgage fee?
Yeah, just because everybody's got variable interest, so it goes up and down.
Actually, it's pretty low.
What are you paying, like, 5%?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Wait, so if interest rates all of a sudden should skyrocket, which is unlikely, but if it happened, then you'd be screwed?
Probably.
Cool.
I mean, cool.
I mean, cool.
Cool.
Hey, hey, pull out your blade, old man.
Come on.
Hey, you have a black knife.
You got that down on there?
I sure do.
Janice Kang, please step forward.
David Lee, step forward.
And Benjamin Caudill.
Extend your fingers, everybody, as we are very proud of your support of the No Agenda podcast, the best podcast in the world, and hereby knight thee as Sir Benjamin Cardell, Sir David Lee, and Black Dame Janice Kang.
Welcome to the Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Please enjoy your booze and hot pants.
Hot pants?
It's my new one, booze and hot pants.
Hot pocket!
I thought Hookers and Blow was old.
I think we should go to booze and hot pants.
Alright, it's fine with me.
Hot pants should be coming, making it coming.
It's time, right?
Yeah, it's time.
Cycles are upon us.
So, big controversy.
Big controversy, everybody.
Let's all get pissed off.
Let's all get angry.
What are we angry about?
Well, something that we pointed out on a previous episode of No Agenda, that the makers of The Hurt Locker, the award-winning movie, which, if you ask any military man who has been in Iraq or Afghanistan, will say, uh, yeah, okay, you're glamorizing a piece of crap sandbox where we don't know what we're doing, and it sucked.
In general, most military personnel don't like that movie.
And, uh, so now we've got, uh, them doing the killing of Osama Bin Laden.
What?
Hello?
Nothing, go on.
What, did you just walk off?
You had something else to do?
No, the dog was coming over here to whine and moan.
And I just told JC to get him out of here.
Get rid of that dog.
No, it's just going...
So, who is it?
Well, people are bent out of shape about this.
And of course, CNN has this reporter, this older woman who's in the Pentagon.
I guess she has like an office with a green screen.
I'm not quite sure how it works, but she's reporting from the Pentagon.
She's got like pretty colors behind her.
And she talks about this so-called controversy.
And it was even brought up in Spokeshole Carney's Question Time as its representative, Peter King, who was all bent out of shape about this.
Now, Peter King is on the Intelligence and Security Committee.
Squirrel!
And he doesn't want anyone talking about Osama bin Laden at all from the government about how this went down, mainly because he's pissed off probably because he doesn't know anything about it.
And now they're making this movie out of it.
Right, the movie's going to come out just before Obama's election.
Right.
2012, it's the new October surprise.
Well, what we know is officials are telling us that Catherine Bigelow, the award-winning director of that movie, The Hurt Locker, about the war in Iraq, has spoken with administration officials about...
Is that a woman or a man?
That's a woman.
Okay.
...new project to make a movie about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
She, by all accounts, has had some meetings, has talked to people about it.
What we are told here at the Pentagon is her project is still, we're talking Hollywood, in the development phase.
She doesn't have a script yet.
She doesn't have specifics yet.
That sounds like a transsexual, that person.
When you see her, it's possible.
It's possible.
I said, you know, well, yeah, it's possible.
Not that it matters, but I'm just saying.
No, but I think she should wear a badge.
Developing the project, possibly developing the script to go ahead and make the movie.
Not unusual.
There is, right down the hall from where we broadcast here in the Pentagon, maybe 20 steps away, is a Hollywood liaison office which works with filmmakers, with television networks that want to make programs or movies about the U.S. military, works with them to give them advice and thoughts, and if they want to pay for it, possibly with approval, even giving them some military equipment.
They have to reimburse for that.
Very long-standing, tight relationship between Hollywood and the U.S. military.
Yeah, no kidding.
Hey, maybe we can get some equipment, John.
We have to reimburse for it, but maybe we could get some, like, guns.
Stuff.
Some cool stuff.
Hey, hi, it's Adam Curry and John C. D'Vorek.
We're from Hollywood, and we're here for our share.
We need a tank.
Ha, ha.
So this all kind of comes in at the same time.
So we've had all this glorification of the killing of Osama bin Laden.
And by the way, there's a very interesting YouTube video, which, well, here's the audio from it.
So obviously, I can't understand what the guy is saying, but that's why I play it, because I'd like people to go and take a look but that's why I play it, because I'd like people to go and take a look and see if you because according to...
The chicken down the street is really tasty.
Well, actually, I'm going to get it for you.
The translation is pretty crazy.
Hold on.
It's a guy from Pakistan.
Why am I not finding this?
Here it is.
His name is Mr.
Bashir.
His home is in front of Osama's house.
He says, we watched the whole operation from the roof of the house, and he rushed to the house...
Of three, only one helicopter landed after 10 to 20 minutes, and they tried to lift up.
It crashed, and the two other helicopters flew away.
He rushed to the house, saw dead bodies of 10 or more people, and within 20 minutes, the Pakistani army came.
He says that he is 100% sure they did not take Osama bin Laden if he was, because the helicopter crashed, nothing else lifted off.
So I'd like people to, this is from a Pakistani news report, so I'd love people to go and check that out.
So there's a lot of weirdness going around this.
Then we have that Nicholas Schmidl.
There's actually going to be a PDF in the show notes at 329.nashownotes.com.
Our producer Robert Leather is working on finding out where Nicholas Schmidl's, you know, what his real background is.
And it's, you know, went to all these schools, American University, yet he doesn't show up in the alumni list, etc.
So there's a lot of Hollywood trickery going on around this whole Osama Bin Laden thing.
And the latest one is, now we had, we had the, apparently the Team 6 Navy SEALs crash, right?
This was supposed to be the exact same guys who did this Osama Bin Laden raid.
Then we had a second crash with a Chinook.
33 killed on board of that.
And then all of a sudden we get the report saying, Hey, you know those guys who killed our guys?
We killed those guys.
And then this.
Well, Wolf, what we have learned today is those Navy SEALs were not on a rescue mission as we were first led to believe.
The 22 Navy SEAL commandos killed when their helicopter was shot down by the Taliban weren't on one of their usual secret assault missions.
Military sources confirmed the SEALs were called in to chase down a group of Taliban on the run.
Army Rangers already on the ground were looking for a Taliban leader when some insurgents started to escape.
The Rangers didn't need rescuing.
They just called for backup.
That's contrary to what some military sources said just after the crash when they suggested the SEALs were helping pin down troops.
It's all raising questions why so many SEALs were on a single vulnerable helicopter.
Okay, so now it's not 33, it's 22.
I'm going to assert that all of this is a lie.
Because it always happens.
When they're lying about it...
I'm not giving you credit for this.
Hold on, this is not the story.
I'm going to tell you what really happened.
And what happened.
These Chinooks were not shot down.
They were obliterated.
Here's what happened.
These seals and military specialists were sent in because they discovered a Vimyana in this area.
Now Vimyana, if you don't know what it is...
How do you spell it?
V-I-M-A with a squiggly line.
N-A. Vimyana.
You can consult the Book of Knowledge.
It's also known as a time well.
A what?
Time well.
If you look at the Sanskrit drawings, it is that kind of pointed spaceship-looking craft with a single occupant on board.
So they found one of these.
Stop it.
They found one of these, and they tried to take it away.
It was in a mountain.
And it zapped him.
It has this perpetual power source, and that in combination with the solar activity we've had recently, it actually completely zapped the first Chinook and the second one as they tried to take this thing away from where it's been kept for like 5,000 years.
Vimyana.
Yeah, okay.
I'm telling you.
Is it V-I-M or V-I-N? Victor, India, Mike, A with a squiggly line, November, Alpha, Vimiana.
And this is what's going on.
So that's why there's all these lies about...
And no one has the full story.
Well, it was shot down.
No, it didn't.
It crashed.
Well, it was one guy with an RPG. No, and then a second one.
So you're asserting that we're in Afghanistan because there's a time well that we can use as a wormhole to get more fishes into the ocean or something like that?
No, I'm not asserting that.
I'm saying that, conveniently, that's one of the things we were going to go get.
Where did you get this one?
From Russia.
From Russia?
From the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.
I have a direct line to them.
I think it's entertaining.
It's a possibility.
I mean, anything's possible.
I don't think it's...
Well, actually, what am I talking about?
I think it's a lot more feasible.
What am I saying?
Thank you.
Could somebody please send me that clip?
I want it for my clip show.
Vimyana.
Yeah, be on the lookout for it.
And so why were the Navy SEALs all in the same chopper?
Were they Vimyana specialists?
They had specialists on board.
What's a specialist mission?
To go and get this thing.
Are they the same SEALs that are going after that thing down in that ocean hole that you keep talking about?
No.
No, no, no.
Because it would make sense.
The SEALs, because they would be underwater, and so you'd need these underwater guys who'd be the experts.
You know, mock me all you want.
I mean, would you think this is crazy when I told you that today, launching today from...
It was actually postponed.
It was supposed to launch yesterday.
Did you hear about this thing?
Yeah, Vandenberg sent it up that crazy little device again.
I was supposed to be getting...
It's the Falcon.
It's going to do New York to...
It can do New York to L.A. in 12 minutes.
They're launching it off the back of a Minotaur rocket.
It'll separate...
And it'll then take 12 minutes to fly from New York to Los Angeles.
They're launching it off of...
Yeah, right.
They're launching it off the back of a minotaur.
It's going to be launched off of Vandenberg, which should have been launched between 7 and 1 today.
I have not heard anything.
I have a guy that's there who's going to text me as soon as it gets shot up.
But I don't think it's going to shoot over to the Bay Area.
I've been looking out the window.
It's going to go way up.
You won't see it actually separate, I don't think.
His Minotaur is a high-speed, solid-fuel rocket.
It's so smoky.
There's no way you won't see it.
It's a Smoky Joe.
You'll see the rocket.
Yeah, that's all I'm going to talk about.
I just want to see the rocket.
I'm not going to see the little device.
I'd love to see that thing separate and fly, man.
Yeah, I would too.
Hey, your mic is sounding kind of weird.
Really?
Yeah, it's got that, like your cable modems interfering with it again.
Oh, well, it's not possible.
Move this around.
The keyboard.
It could be the keyboard.
Good news, everybody.
While John is doing that, I want you to, right after the show, go to three...
Oh, it has been launched already.
Hey, did you get your text message?
You know, I left the phone downstairs.
I missed my text message.
But the thing is, it's been launched already.
I should be seeing it if it's going this way.
I guess it's not.
There's good news.
I want you to go right after this program airs, or if you're hearing it on the podcast, go to 329.nashownotes.com for your free 30-day trial of Abilify.
Link right there in the show notes.
If you're an adult who has been taking an antidepressant for six weeks or more and still feel depressed, ask your doctor if adding Abilify to your antidepressant may be an option for you.
You can get a 30-day free trial plus continued savings.
This sounds like a commercial.
Yeah, Abilify.com.
It is a commercial.
I want to make sure everyone gets their free Abilify.
Yeah, give it to your animals.
I don't have any animals.
It's crazy.
They're giving it away now.
They shouldn't be doing that.
It should be illegal.
Yeah, speaking of which, I guess there's a lawsuit pending now about the fluoridation of the Southern California water.
12 minutes?
No, no, no.
They lost contact.
Oh, they lost contact.
That's interesting.
Ooh!
They just got word on the rocket.
They lost contact in 12 minutes.
Of the whole rocket or of the separated...
Who's flying?
Is this thing flying like a drone?
Oh, this is very vague.
Hey, listen.
If this thing crashes, you know what to do.
Go over...
To West Virginia.
Yeah.
Get yourself some of that stuff off of that thing.
Stomp on any transmitters.
Right, John?
Tell us how to do it.
I forgot what was my...
Did you just find things and stomp on them?
What did I say?
If one of these things crashes, like the blimp.
Oh yeah, the first thing...
Oh right, if one of these things crashes in your backyard, you gotta go run to it, find the transmitter, which you have a little antenna on, and stomp it so that people can't find it, and then scrounge the parts and sell them on eBay.
There you go.
Yeah, I'm seeing if I can find it here.
I guess I can't find it.
Oh yeah, here it is.
Here's the story, by the way.
A test flight of an unmanned aircraft that can travel at 20 times the speed of sound launched successfully Thursday morning from the U.S. Air Force Base in California, but lost contact with ground crews shortly into the flight.
Oh, so it actually did separate, and now this thing is flying at 20 times the speed of light, and they can't see it, they can't talk to it?
Speed of sound, yeah.
Yeah, nice.
36 minutes after launch, the Falcon HTV-2 lost contact.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, this thing is up on the moon base already.
It's docking.
They're having a beer.
They're having a beer.
Here it is.
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California sued for illegal use of an unapproved drug to fulfill the fluoridation program.
Oh, yeah!
So not only are they fluoridating your water, but they're doing it with an unapproved drug.
No wonder I feel so good being out of town for so long.
Yeah, well, you're getting that L.A. water.
Let me see what the drug is called.
Oh, by the way, I met the guy who sent you the Merck book, too.
He was at the Chicagoland meeting.
Oh, cool.
I did.
I thanked him for invaluable information.
Hydrofluosilic acid.
You want to look it up?
Hydrofluorosalicylic acid.
Hydrofluorosalicylic acid?
Silicic.
Silicilic?
Not salicylic?
No.
Here's the spelling.
Hotel Yankee Delta Romeo Oscar Foxtrot Lima Uniform Oscar Sierra India Lima India Charlie India Charlie Well, I lost track after this.
And you call yourself a ham.
You call yourself a ham.
This is my own code.
Hydro.
You got hydro.
I got that.
Get the fluoro.
I got F-L-U-O-S. I-L-I-C-I-C. An unsustainable...
Hydrofluorosilicic.
Silicic.
Silicic.
And the definition I have is an unstable, poisonous, corrosive acid.
It's watered down.
That's funny.
He usually doesn't act this way when I give him the Folgers crystals.
Thanks, Southern California.
I'm going to look it up on Merck and see what it says.
It doesn't sound good to me.
That's for sure.
Oh my goodness.
Well, speaking of groovy things for you, I found a very interesting video that harshly criticizes Michelle Obama, our first lady, her Let's Move campaign as it's actually making fat kids targets.
Now, you considered this?
No, I don't know.
I'm not getting it.
Keep explaining.
Well, instead of me explaining, why don't we listen to the woman who can explain it for us?
Then along came the well-intentioned but somewhat misdirected Let's Move campaign, led by our own First Lady Michelle Obama.
What I mean by misdirected is that rather than educating and encouraging our nation to create healthy practices for all children, focusing on the health of all our children, children of higher body weight have been singled out and the focus of the campaign is on weight reduction and not on improving children's health.
Well, how are they marginalized?
Studies indicate that children of higher body weight are 65% more likely to be bullied than children of lower body weight.
When our First Lady said that we have to wipe out childhood obesity in one generation, she essentially gave permission to everyone to condemn the children with higher body weights.
That's a new name for it.
I'm not fat.
I have a higher body weight.
I like it.
How this translates in real life is that these children experience more ridicule, more teasing, more bullying, and the perpetrators feel justified in their actions because, after all, the first lady said these kids have to go.
When children of higher body weight hear we have to wipe out childhood obesity in one generation, For them, those words translate to, we have to eliminate obese children.
We must eliminate the obese.
And you know what?
I bet that's her intention.
Yeah, that is.
That's the message.
Hey, you know, this is so obvious.
I'm telling you.
Kill the fat.
This is not.
Eat the fat.
Eatthechildrenofhigherbodyweight.com This is not a mistake.
This was meant this way!
They hear, your body is bad.
They hear, thin equals good, fat equals bad.
They hear, your body is bad.
You're fat.
I believe that it was not the intention of the First Lady to cause more pain and suffering for these children, but I also believe that this is one of the consequences of focusing on reducing body size as opposed to improving health.
Other consequences include poor body image, body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, bullying, disordered eating, Okay.
Depression.
Right.
Lower expectations for future success.
And sometimes even suicide.
Okay, that's enough.
Let's do something more interesting.
I know.
What do you mean?
More interesting than the first lady trying to have fat kids be killed?
Come on.
That's interesting.
I got another ridiculous story then.
All right.
The ridiculous area...
Tell me if you've heard this area 51 story ever in your life.
Now, by the way...
This is a clip of a woman, Ann Jacobson, who wrote a book called Area 51.
I've read the book.
Let me tell you what it is.
Okay, okay.
Without listening to the clip, and yes, I buy into it, Area 51 was actually about Nazi aircraft that looked like flying saucers, And one of these crashed, and the whole meme was so successful about it being an alien flying saucer that our U.S. government propagated that meme, even though at the end of the day it was about some kind of weird Nazi aircraft.
Not really.
I mean, it wasn't weird Nazi aircraft involved, but the real backstory, the funny thing is she tells this in the clip that she brings this crazy thing up at the very end of the book, but this is a woman who, I want to preface this as I had, this is about a 10 minute clip That I had to cut to death because this woman is the worst, most verbose blowhard.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
I had to cut, cut, cut to get to the core of this.
But this will summarize it, I think, a little better than you just did.
Okay, but that's not why Area 51 is still classified.
No.
So why keep this base secret?
And I lean into my reader and I say, here's why I think the base is secret.
And this came to me from a source.
And in the last seven pages, I tell you what that source said to me from one man's oral history.
The source was an engineer for EG&G. He was a member of the Manhattan Project, and the source told me that in 1951, he was one of five engineers that was asked to solve what is called a wicked engineering problem.
And the source told me that he was one of the five people who received the equipment from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and that was originally what crashed in Roswell, and that it was a flying, circular-shaped aircraft.
It was not from Mars.
It was from Russia.
And it was actually originally a Third Reich design.
And so this flying disc, according to the engineer from EG&G, was something that had crashed in New Mexico, and the intent was for it to be a hoax.
That Stalin, and again, we're in 1947 here when we're talking about the Roswell crash.
1947, Stalin did not yet have an atomic weapon.
Truman did.
They were bitter rivals.
And so Stalin made a move, fired a warning shot over Truman's bow, so to speak, to say, you may have the atomic bomb, but I have psychological warfare.
And a la the War of the Worlds, He wanted to send this flying disc to land in New Mexico and have people come out that looked like aliens.
And the EG&G engineer told me that the child-sized pilots inside were the result of ghastly human experiments in the Soviet Union.
Right.
So that's basically the story I told you, but only correctly.
I've read this book.
And, you know, the Area 51 people hate this woman because, of course, they want to believe.
I think she's right.
And, you know, Molly Wood interviewed this woman.
I think the interview is still out there somewhere.
And, by the way, in the morning to Molly Wood.
You don't think she listens to this show?
I know she does.
She's throwing in the mornings on Buzz Out Loud.
She is?
Yeah, on her own CD podcast.
She may have heard it a couple times.
She listens to the show.
She's politically...
No, no, no, no.
She's changed.
She's completely changed.
No way.
Uh-uh.
She's from Montana.
No, no, no.
She was temporarily confused.
And she also, last time she stayed at the house, she didn't bring the bamboo utensils either.
That Berkeley crap.
Anyway, go on.
Yeah.
So, I think...
Do you believe...
Well, you know, there's a funny thing.
I believe this.
She goes on with another little assertion, and then this one here, tell me if you've heard this one.
This is the clip, AEC experimenting on the retarded...
And so I looked this up because I was thinking, wow, is that, because I know we've done it, and I have a couple of show note links that have all the crazy government experiments that have been done on the public, unbeknownst to the public.
And she mentions this thing because she's trying to identify, you know, this crazy experiment supposedly that Stalin did to make these midgets.
And so she just drops a bomb.
I think it was actually a throwback to Mengele.
She actually drops this bomb here in this Area 51B clip.
Fact check and source is what the Atomic Energy Commission did during its tenure and the reckless human experimentation that they did.
President Clinton put together a commission in the 1990s after a reporter named Eileen Welsom revealed that the Atomic Energy Commission had been experimenting, injecting retarded children with plutonium at a state school in Massachusetts.
And I see all the faces.
Everyone's like, oh, God, how horrible.
And people really don't want to hear about that.
And they turn the other way and they say, that's just horrible and kind of go on.
And, you know, I felt as a journalist that by I believe what my source told me and I believe that what he told me, the reason that he told me what he told me was because it was a matter of conscience.
The other four engineers are dead.
He was very clear about that.
And so if a debate or a discussion ensues as to whether or not this kind of a program could go on, how long it went on for, I feel that's an important discussion, and it's why I chose to write about it in my book.
Okay, before you say anything, here's the problem I have with the thesis to begin with.
She says that Stalin wanted to do a little psychological warfare with this hoax.
And by the way, it doesn't make some sense because people saw the original crash and there was weird writing on it, which could be Cyrillic.
Anyway, by landing a flying saucer in New Mexico and having these little green men walk out.
New Mexico?
Really?
Really?
I think that was an accident.
I think the New Mexico thing, that it crashed, and then they wanted to...
That's when they came up with the idea for the hoax.
I don't think it was set up with a hoax in mind at first.
The whole thing, though, I think is plausible.
I like it.
I really like the injecting retarded kids.
That's cool.
That was the actual beginning of...
And that takes me back to something you and I discussed right after Sunday's show.
Because, you know, I follow all this MKUltra stuff.
And MKUltra is essentially the government injecting people with all kinds of stuff and mind controlling them.
And you have what is known as the presidential model.
And we were talking about Willow Bay, who used to work for CNN and got kicked off.
Or she got replaced or whatever.
And she is creepy, yet beautiful to look at.
And who's she married to now?
The Disney guy, Iger?
Yeah, the CEO of Disney, Iger.
Right.
And you look at her, and she's a presidential MKUltra model.
And so these experiments, yeah, the government has even apologized for doing this.
Clinton came out and apologized for that.
We've been experimenting on our slaves forever.
Yeah, and in fact, there's two links in the show notes that have lists of these experiments.
I mean, you can just start reading this stuff off.
You know, CIA beginning the study of LSD as a potential weapon in 1947.
There were some drops of some various bacteria over San Francisco and New York.
There's a bunch of experiments.
Here's one...
Some germs to see how the bacillus globe giggly or whatever it is over San Francisco.
Apparently San Francisco has been used a lot.
Yeah.
What does that tell you?
Well, they're all Democrats now.
What happened?
Yeah, it's easy.
Here it is.
CIA experiments with the possibility of poisoning drinking water by injecting chemicals into the water supply of the FDA in Washington.
Stop!
Stop!
This is a good one here.
Listen to this one.
Dr.
Robert McMahon of the Department of Defense.
And this is a document.
Request from Congress $10 million to develop within 5 to 10 years.
Figure that out.
A synthetic biological agent to which no natural immunity exists.
Yeah, it's called AIDS. In 1975, the virus section of Fort Detrick Center for Biological Warfare Research is renamed Frederick Cancer Research Facilities and placed under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute.
Here it is that a special virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S. Navy.
Purportedly develop cancer-causing viruses.
It's here that retrovirologists also isolate a virus to which no immunity exists.
It's later renamed HTLV. Anyway, it goes on and on.
It's a very interesting reading.
And the funny thing was that the New York Times actually reported in the 80s, and I remember seeing this, that the Russians were absolutely convinced that Fort Detrick, one of the Maryland research facilities, I can't remember the name of it, the Maryland research facilities, this one probably, Developed AIDS. It's just a known fact to them.
And then, of course, they've had since then.
And this has never been proven.
Nobody can prove anything, of course.
Yeah, unless you want two to the head.
It's not provable.
And if anybody did prove it, they would get two to the head.
There's no doubt about it.
It's all suppositions.
It's all interesting.
But I always like the way they reverse engineer trying to prove that AIDS actually existed in monkeys in the turn of the century and they found a dead guy.
That, you know, they exhumed his body from 1903 and he had AIDS, you know, no one ever explained it then, but no explanation for what I thought of his son become so rampant.
Okay, so, all right.
So, basically, we have a couple of things here.
One, hoaxes from governments.
I'm down with that.
Two, MKUltra Slaves named Willow Bay.
Hello?
That's just too obvious.
Willow Bay.
And we have a government, what, putting hexafluorosilic acid into our water.
We've got chemtrails overhead, and we've got the first lady trying to kill fat kids.
Hello!
And that we just lost a missile this morning, or the little rocket.
Hiya!
Hiya!
Oh, that's going to be interesting.
It's not a rocket.
It's a plane.
Yeah, it's an airplane.
It's just flying around.
Oh, we can't...
I mean, it's like...
What?
Is anybody in the plane?
Or is it remote control?
It says it's unmanned, but...
Nobody knows.
We don't know that for sure.
It's all classified.
So this thing could just be circling around.
There could be a guy in it as we speak.
In a flying saucer.
Well, it's not shaped like a flying saucer, but it's like some...
It's a...
It's a plane.
Yeah, it's a hyper-supersonic plane.
Hyper-supersonic airplane that can fly above the atmosphere.
I'm thinking one of the no agenda sysadmins has taken control of it.
Let's hope not.
That's what we don't need.
Hey, land that thing over here.
I'll fly it.
Yeah, but make sure you find the little wire in there first and bust it.
Kick it.
Stomp it.
Stomp on the transmitter.
I bet you the pieces in there are worth a lot of money.
All right.
The No Agenda Producer update is coming up with Miss Mickey, Gitmo Slave, Mr.
Oil, and Yellow Jacket, I think.
Everyone all on board there.
Thank you all so much for those of you coming out to the meetups.
We'll see you at the OEO meetup later on today.
And we will be in Philadelphia tomorrow, where another meetup is scheduled.
Miss Mickey is not wearing any clothes.
This is going to be great.
Make sure you don't turn on the Skype camera.
Coming to you from the birthplace of aviation, the great state of Ohio.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the sun is shining and everything's just great, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Enjoy that water, John.
We'll talk to you again on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
A mess or waking up is fluoride in my cup.
