	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, August 21st, 2011.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 332.
	This is no agenda.
	Reporting from the front lines of Gitmo Nation from the Four Winds 5,000 Crackpot Command Center in the woods behind the NSA headquarters just outside our nation's capital.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	Hello?
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm sure this is going to be a mediocre...
	Oh, great.
	Perfect.
	We've never been so tight.
	It's great.
	It's like a long leg.
	I should have jumped on you when you first said Adam.
	Yeah, you should have started like in the morning is when you should have jumped on me.
	So there's a lag that we should tell people about.
	Why don't you explain your situation so everyone has a clue why this show is going to be a little mistimed.
	Yes, the problem is we arrived.
	So we decided yesterday after our New York-New Jersey meetup, which of course we'll be talking about later, that the marina and RV park conveniently located in Jersey City, New Jersey, was not the nicest places to be.
	And you just imagine a parking lot with lines and some electrical wires thrown around.
	That was where we were.
	We did not have the expected view of the city and the Statue of Liberty.
	We basically had a view of other RVs, and we decided to leave.
	So we actually decided to come all the way back down to Virginia with traffic and everything.
	About seven and a half hours drive, pulled into a fantastic, beautiful RV camp, which literally is not far from NSA headquarters.
	It's in the same woods, essentially.
	Really nice, exactly what we wanted.
	The Wi-Fi was great, so I'm totally happy.
	Then I find out that they limit your bandwidth down to dial-up speeds if you exceed 60 megabytes per hour of bandwidth usage.
	So, we tried that this morning, hooking up, and I can even see right now that John can probably barely hear me.
	We are currently on the 3G connection, which gives us about, oh, I don't know, a five-hour lag time, and John, in the morning to you, over.
	Oh, God.
	Yeah, over.
	I'm sorry, I'm picking it up.
	Yeah, we have a long lag, and I want to say hi to everybody, including yourself and the ships at sea.
	Yes, in the morning to all the human resources in the chat room.
	I didn't say over yet.
	Oh, sorry.
	Over.
	In the morning to all the human resources in the chatroom at noagendachat.net, noagendastream.com, all charged up and ready to go exactly the way your government loves you.
	So sorry about this.
	It's always very difficult.
	It's probably a little harder for John, who can then, of course, barely hear any clips, anything else that's coming down the line.
	It may stabilize a little bit, John, within the hour or so.
	It kind of depends on how many people are using the AT&T cell connection that is...
	Around here, so we'll just go with the flow.
	Over.
	Well, and we also have to deal with the fact that Skype doesn't like this connection.
	It's been giving us grief.
	Because you're just sped up.
	You sound like a mouse.
	Oh, cool.
	The helium effect.
	I like that a lot.
	Well, screw it.
	So anyway, why don't I just kick it off, John, and say that the word is finally out.
	I don't know if this is going to work.
	This is going to be very, very hard.
	Go.
	What word?
	The word is out.
	We're staying in Iraq.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	No.
	What do you mean?
	There's been a couple of different...
	No, this word is out is not accurate.
	Let me play the clip of...
	No.
	I've heard that too.
	I've got both sides of the story, but the word is out that we're not staying in Iraq.
	Well, hold on a second.
	Before we play the clip, I have here an interview in the Stars and Stripes with Leon Panetta, and he says that the Iraqis have asked for us to stay.
	And he gave an official interview in the Stars and Stripes.
	So, I don't understand.
	I mean, okay, it's not a press release yet, but it seems like it's there.
	We're done.
	We're staying.
	They just haven't said how many people they want.
	It's my understanding the Iraqis made it clear they don't want us.
	And that whole thing that Panetta did was bullcrap.
	Well then, wait a minute.
	This is weird.
	And by the way, we did mention on our last show, Hillary already predicted this, that we're going to stay, because she had it on good authority.
	But good authority seems to be Panetta just making it up as he goes along.
	Alright, so what clip do you have?
	Well, I got that clip from Democracy Now!, which is the clip about...
	Actually, the one that we should play, which is the meta clip.
	There's a meta clip, a clip of a clip.
	We've never done this on the show before, and I hate to do it on this miserable show that we're doing.
	But this is a clip on Democracy Now!
	of a clip on PBS on...
	Within an interview of a guy from Iraq who thinks that everything that we're hearing and everything that we're talking about is bullcrap and it's all set up.
	But the democracy now people don't realize that the whole thing is set up.
	They still believe PBS is on the up and up.
	Anyway, play that clip.
	Perspective on this, for instance, Margaret Warner of PBS recently spoke with the Washington Post's Annie Gowan, who's reporting from Baghdad.
	And in the interview, Gowan said she spoke to Iraqis who were afraid that their country would descend into more sectarian violence if U.S. troops withdraw.
	This is a clip.
	Have you heard anyone express fear that Iraq could see a return to the kind of sectarian violence that they had back in 06 and 07?
	Yes, actually.
	I spoke to just an Iraqi man today who said, you know, we want the American troops to stay.
	You know, we are afraid that when they leave, the minute they leave, civil war will descend on the country again.
	And, you know, nobody here wants to go back to those days of the sectarian violence in 07 when, you know, the Iraqis couldn't even walk to work without seeing corpses in the streets.
	So, Ray Jarrar, is that your view from what you saw, that the Iraqis are looking to the United States to save them from further sectarian violence?
	You know, I have rejected these arguments all along.
	In the last 20 years of conflict between the US and Iraq, I have always rejected the argument that the US is there to protect Iraqis from themselves and to protect Iraqis from other Iraqis.
	These arguments have expired years ago.
	I think it doesn't make sense anymore.
	To even use these arguments because there are no U.S. troops patrolling Iraqi streets anymore.
	So I don't know how would that Iraqi man claim that the U.S. is protecting Iraq, saving Iraq from a civil war that is awaiting around the corner if we end our occupation and give Iraq back to the Iraqis.
	The U.S. has no tools.
	To protect Iraqis from each other anymore, even if it wanted to.
	I don't think the intention is there, but even if the intention is there, there are no means to do that.
	All of my trip in Iraq, I have not seen a single US patrol or tank going around streets.
	All of the US troops have went back to their bases since 2009.
	Well, of course.
	I mean, they're all at the base.
	There's 50,000 people.
	Hillary's got to fill up the beds.
	We don't want troops to go and patrol the streets.
	We just need people to fill up the embassy.
	Well, I mean, but that's different, don't you think?
	I mean, if they're saying that that's...
	I mean, I know they want to fill up that embassy and keep it staffed, and they actually took over that whole part of town and made it the green zone, which is now essentially America's 51st state.
	So I'll just give you the quote.
	Here it is.
	Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced Friday that Iraq has already requested the U.S. remain beyond 2011.
	The Pentagon is in the process of negotiating that agreement.
	Pentagon told Stars and Stripes, quote, My view is that they finally did say yes.
	My view?
	Yeah.
	That's official enough.
	It's my opinion that they said yes?
	Is that what he's saying?
	That's what he's saying?
	How awesome is it?
	Isn't that great?
	He wants us to stay so desperately that he's just throwing his own opinion in there.
	He's like, yeah, I think they said yeah.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	I think they said yeah.
	Wait a minute.
	Oh, man.
	Magic8ball says, prospects look good.
	Nice.
	All right, then let's forget Iraq.
	Let's stay with Lucifer.
	I'll tell you, yeah, we probably should.
	Do I have another Iraq clip?
	I'm not sure.
	Let me take a look at the mail.
	But I do have the New York Times here, the Sunday Times, and there is not one mention of Iraq in the whole front section.
	So I'm thinking that this is not the week for talking about Iraq.
	No, it's not.
	This is the week for talking about Syria.
	That is why Panetta probably blew it.
	He probably jumped the gun, didn't follow the script.
	Let's face it, the guy's new in this position.
	He's always been out in the field.
	And now, of course, he's back in the office.
	Looking at the New York Times, I'm thinking that it's actually the week to be talking about Libya.
	No, no, I'm sorry, and I have a couple of clips to prove it.
	Here's Lucifer.
	She gave one of her clippity-clop walks.
	In fact, I recorded the clippity-clop, John, just so you could hear it.
	She's going to see a podiatrist.
	It'll sound better on the podcast.
	But she's like clip-clop, clippity-clop, because you know she has hooves.
	That's her problem.
	So she comes out, and of course this is Syria, and we know that the president, as we discussed on Thursday's show, he came out with an executive order, we're going to steal all their money, and here's just a quick clip about what it's all about for her, as predicted, by the way.
	The Assad government has now been condemned by countries in all parts of the world and can look only to Iran for support for its brutal and unjust crackdown.
	Now, I think this is pretty significant, what she's saying here, that they can only look to Iran.
	What does that mean?
	You're next.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And then she started off with the Chorus of Condemnation, then it was the Choir of Condemnation, and she still can't get it right.
	The steps that President Obama announced this morning will further tighten the circle of isolation around the regime.
	No, Hillary, not the circle of...
	Oh, no, no, no.
	You've got to get it better.
	It's not the circle of isolation.
	All along, as we have worked to expand the circle of global condemnation...
	No, Hillary, it is not the circle of condemnation.
	Try it again.
	In just the past two weeks, many of Syria's own neighbors and partners in the region have joined the chorus of condemnation.
	There we go.
	All right.
	The chorus of condemnation.
	This is all in one speech.
	Circle of isolation.
	Circle of condemnation.
	Chorus of condemnation.
	She's tired.
	You know, I just got to say one thing.
	She doesn't get a lot of sleep.
	Before we left, we were still at Uncle Don's place.
	He says, oh man, I shouldn't even tell you this.
	I will, he's not listening.
	He says, Hillary Clinton, she got cankles and a hair problem.
	I'm like, alright, Don, go!
	Okay.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I'll just wait until you catch up with me.
	Yeah, well it sounds like I'm way behind.
	Yeah, okay, we're good again.
	So anyway, so Syria...
	Yeah, go on.
	Yeah, Syria clearly is on deck, and it all makes sense.
	Our president has once again left on vacation.
	Last time when we attacked Libya, he was in Brazil.
	Now he's in Martha's Vineyard, and the assets have been frozen.
	Essentially, all the money has now been stolen, and we can just wait for the UN to catch up.
	All we need is a resolution.
	Maybe they can make it, instead of 1973, make it resolution 1974, and then we can implement the no-fly zone and take whatever we need.
	need, although it'll be interesting to see how that all works out with Russia having their naval base there.
	Yeah, well, God, God.
	You know what?
	I'm going to reestablish connection.
	Okay.
	Because it's just too much here.
	Hold on.
	We'll have to do this a couple times during the show, but you know what?
	We're still here.
	It doesn't matter.
	Rain or sleet nor snow or whatever it is, we're bringing you the show.
	At least that's what we try to do.
	Come on, Johnny boy.
	There we go.
	That's better.
	You think this is going to be better?
	Yeah, we'll have to do it a couple times throughout the show.
	We won't be able to interact as much as normal.
	Yeah, it might be a good thing.
	So, alright, well, you might be right, but I mean, I'm not seeing the evidence, at least so far as my clips, I have no clips on Syria, and I have the front page of the New York Times, which is pushing the Libya thing, which they claim now.
	I mean, we've been, of course, this has been going on forever, you know, that any minute now they're taking over.
	Yeah, they keep saying that the rebels are getting closer to Tripoli.
	That's what they keep saying.
	Yeah.
	They're making a mess of the place from these photos.
	So we'll talk about that later in your Sunday Time segment.
	Is there anything else you wanted to hit on?
	So I've got some...
	My...
	No, not in terms of the Middle East.
	I mean, most of my material, because I spent all the time watching C-SPAN and listening to various spooks, talk to other spooks, because it was spook week.
	And I picked up a few interesting tidbits that are kind of interesting for people who are looking for meta concepts about some of these operations.
	And also Chertoff.
	I've got a bunch of Chertoff clips which need to be deconstructed.
	Let's roll with that.
	Well, actually, let's roll with something else, just for starters, to get it out of the way, which is the Bachman bombshell question.
	Bachman, by the way, was floating around, and she's very charming, because they had the camera on her the whole time, before and after, and she was actually...
	Wait a minute, John.
	You've been away from home too long.
	What do you mean she's charming?
	She's getting freaky.
	No, I'm telling you, when you see her at these open houses or whatever she does, she's actually pretty nice.
	What is she in real estate now?
	She does open houses?
	That's what it looks like.
	So anyway, so she's doing questions and answers with the audience, and this little kid comes up and just drops this bomb on her, and she doesn't know what to say about it, and I don't know what to think about it, and I think it needs looking into it.
	And my question for you is this.
	How do you, as a mother, feel about Texas Governor Rick Perry allowing a Texas sheriff to sell nude pictures of my three little sisters and me?
	Well, that's quite a question.
	Thank you for asking.
	I'm glad that you're here in the audience today.
	I can't answer it, dear, because I don't have any information about it.
	I cannot do that.
	And so I'm sorry.
	I can't answer.
	I can't answer.
	Will you please check into it, though?
	Well, I'm sure that now that you've put it out here, I have no doubt that it will be checked into.
	So there you go.
	Do we have one more question?
	One more over here.
	Wow!
	Clip of the week!
	He kicks it off!
	Clip of the week!
	That's awesome!
	Wow!
	I was just like, it just dropped me.
	And you obviously stunned her.
	What?
	That is...
	Governor Rick Perry allows a sheriff to sell nude photos of her and her little sisters.
	This has got to be some big setup.
	You know, we've got that guy who took out that ad...
	You know, saying if you had sex with Rick Perry, you know, we'll help you out.
	The acronym for the organization conveniently spells out CASH, C-A-S-H. So obviously they're going after this guy, but this is outrageous.
	I can't believe this isn't...
	Why isn't this all over the news?
	Front page!
	Because Rick Perry is set up to be a...
	In fact, during the last show we did and this show, he has become the number one candidate.
	And you watch all these talk shows and they're all promoting him as the number one guy, the guy to beat.
	The guy just showed up and he's apparently a pervert.
	Let me just hear this again.
	That was an awesome clip.
	Let me just hear it again.
	And my question for you is this.
	First of all, the kid is totally prompted.
	The kid is like completely, he's got a script.
	By the way, Shirley Temple.
	Love it.
	Great job.
	Great job.
	How do you, as a mother, feel about Texas Governor Rick Perry allowing a Texas sheriff to sell nude pictures of my three little sisters and me?
	Well, that's quite a question.
	Thank you for asking.
	I'm glad that you're here in the audience today.
	I can't answer it.
	She has a duty.
	Michelle Bachman has a duty to report this douchebag.
	She should be going to the authorities.
	She should call Napolitano.
	We've got Pedo Bear in Texas.
	We've got Pedo Bear in Texas.
	All you do is you get the stuff about him forcing vaccinations.
	Maybe I should change it to Little Girls Nude.
	Yeah, because Little Girls, of course, is all the Google juice is going to.
	Oh, here it is, Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches.
	Here it is, Nacogdoches Sheriff sold nude pics of Little Girls.
	Nacogdoches Sheriff's Old New Picks, Texas Rick Kerr will not investigate this former president of the...
	Let me open it up.
	Where's my pedo bear jingle when you need it?
	This is great.
	I love this.
	Makes total sense.
	This is like just a gossipy thing.
	Well, yeah, but it doesn't matter.
	It makes total sense that this guy is in the pedo bear elite circles.
	He's the former president of the Sheriff's Association of Texas.
	Guy's named, he's still nude pictures of children.
	He must be investigated.
	He will be investigated.
	This is just a forum.
	It's not even a news story.
	Nobody's covering this one way or the other.
	The problem that I have is that if this isn't true, which it probably is, I mean, who knows, but why is there no coverage saying this is a scam or somebody setting him up or something like that?
	John, try this.
	Try Googling this.
	Pictures of naked little girls.
	It'd be a knock on the door if I Googled that.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Oh my goodness.
	Well, then let me just...
	Wow, that's great.
	Clip of the week.
	Bravo.
	Let me give you my quick Perry clips.
	I have a couple.
	Of course, you probably heard...
	If you've been on the interwebs, you probably saw this little C-SPAN ditty where some doots bag from Bank of America walks up and the microphones are hot.
	They're on while C-SPAN is running.
	And he says, hey, Bank of America here, don't worry, we're going to help you out.
	Bank of America, we'll help you out.
	Yeah, don't worry.
	Bank of America, we're going to help you out.
	I love that.
	That's how it works.
	That's exactly how it works.
	Wow.
	Yeah, you didn't see that?
	You didn't hear about that?
	We'll help you out.
	Had you seen that clip?
	Because I was amazed by it.
	No, I missed that one.
	Yeah, so he's there making hands with people, and the Bank of America guy walks up, and literally is like, eh, Bank of America, don't worry, we're going to help you out.
	Now then, on CNN, former, I think he was the assistant or deputy secretary of the treasury, Bruce Bartlett, He comes out and he says exactly what he thinks about Rick Perry.
	Good clip.
	I mean, I hear this from you.
	I hear this from other reasonable people who are saying, you know, what we need to do to make sure that the system can withstand whatever it is we're facing in the world.
	And then you hear people like Rick Perry on the campaign trail of Sarah Palin saying that Rick Perry is absolutely right.
	And they're blasting the Fed.
	And Rick Perry is saying the Fed is treasonous.
	I mean, I don't think politically can the Fed do anything else.
	Well, Rick Perry's an idiot, and I don't think anybody would disagree with that.
	Who's that?
	That's Bruce Bartlett.
	He's a former Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, I think under maybe Clinton, perhaps Bush.
	I just love it.
	It just comes out, it rolls off the tongue so nicely.
	Well, Rick Perry's an idiot.
	That's perfect.
	But what's interesting...
	And this is actually that CNN show where those two women, you know the one I'm talking about that's always on in the morning?
	And they're like, you know, they're so smart and they're so all over everything.
	But they're not kind of hot.
	They're not like, they're just not.
	They're just not.
	Not Fox News hot.
	They're kind of, well, actually, I'll give them a...
	That's one mother I'd like to...
	So I'll give them a little milfy credit.
	But now they're going to be really smart and actually shill for the Fed at the end of this interview.
	The other one comes in.
	I forget what her name is.
	And she says, well, let's go back to that, because words really matter, and it's really bad when people say the Federal Reserve is treasonous, because people can get confused.
	Just listen to how they shill for the Fed, and they actually are going to hold up a piece of paper, one sheet, as if it's the Fed's balance sheet, which they've read and understood.
	Probably.
	Actually, I just, you know, going back to Rick Perry because, Bruce, you called Rick Perry an idiot.
	Can you just expound on that?
	I mean, is his kind of talk, how is that affecting, you know, our economic situation or the way Americans understand what's happening in the economy?
	Well, to the extent that he has people thinking that the Fed doing its normal job is somehow or other a treasonous act is grossly irresponsible.
	And to the extent that people think that Perry knows what he's talking about, it does put a constraint On the Federal Reserve to be able to be more aggressive, which I think that it should be.
	The idea that we're debasing the currency is just the grossest nonsense.
	You can find the data as easily as I can and show that Ben Bernanke has probably had the lowest level of inflation as Fed Chairman than any Fed Chairman in history.
	So if he's to be criticized for anything, it's deflation, not inflation.
	You hear all this about transparency, Bruce, and I mean, I'm looking, Carol and I are looking at the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve right in front of us.
	It's more transparent today than it has been in the past 10 years or the past 20 years.
	What?
	I mean, really?
	The Fed has been more transparent?
	Let me think.
	Didn't we have to sue over?
	No, I think, you know what, I think technically she's right.
	I'll tell you why.
	The wordage, and the worst matter, the wordage was, it's more transparent than it's ever been.
	That could be, because they were so untrans...
	Press conference, one press conference, maybe two, that in itself makes them more transparent than they've ever been, but it doesn't mean anything.
	But they're technically right.
	Okay, but then for them to hold up one sheet of paper and go like, yeah, we were just looking at the balance sheet over a cup of Sanka, and wow, it's so incredibly easy to understand.
	But then...
	Yeah, they're idiots.
	Yeah, then MILF number two comes out with this.
	But it's still sort of the same old conspiracy theories and criticisms that you keep hearing.
	And I think, Carol, it's a really good point.
	Conspiracy theories.
	Yes.
	Conspiracy theories about the Fed.
	The beast from Jekyll Island.
	Horrible, horrible, horrible.
	How does that hurt sort of the healing process?
	It confuses people because they don't know who to believe or what to believe because when you use language like that, it makes it difficult to hear anything else.
	You hear the word treason and you're like, and you don't hear anything else.
	That's right.
	Treason.
	All right.
	I see our lag has just gotten a little worse, John, but we'll have to live with it.
	Over.
	Oh, God.
	Over.
	Mel, I'm not hearing you.
	No, I know.
	I got you.
	It's all right.
	It's just a minor interruption.
	The NSA is tinkling with the wires.
	We'll be back in a second.
	It's okay.
	Alright.
	The minute you hear me, I would say, come back, good buddy, and go on a tear.
	Maybe we should have some music during this show so people can enjoy themselves.
	They sound good again.
	Yeah, you sound like crap.
	It's alright.
	Go ahead.
	Automatically disconnect and automatically reconnect in some funny way.
	I think it's interesting.
	I've never seen that solo.
	I sound like crap normally.
	Yeah, hold on.
	We're just going to reconnect.
	This is going to be one of those shows, peeps.
	Sorry about that.
	It's just...
	You're offline, it says.
	You've lost internet connectivity.
	Well, I'm clearly not offline.
	I'm not!
	I'm here!
	Oh, gosh.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me get you some bishfat while that's taking place.
	That's funny.
	It says I'm offline.
	Interesting.
	Yeah, it lets me call the Skype bitch.
	There we go.
	All right.
	It was saying I was offline, which I clearly wasn't.
	Hello?
	Oh, well, you are now.
	I mean, you're not now.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	I thought I'd call you to see if I would change the...
	No, I guess not.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Why don't we thank our executive producer?
	Because that didn't help?
	No, not really.
	Yeah, you're going to have to obviously fill in here reading off the spreadsheet.
	Ready?
	Yep.
	So we have...
	Let's see...
	One, two, three, four.
	Let's see.
	We have a lot of executive producers because we're getting up on show 333 and I want to remind everybody that 333 is the next show we do which will be a lot better quality than this one.
	Mainly because it will be connected.
	We won't be using the string and tin cans.
	We have six executive producers beginning with Victor Gregg out of Atlanta, Georgia contributing 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
	For episode 332 and beyond, asking for a plug for his business, Entonomics.com.
	We're a software consultancy offering the services of Paladin in the 21st century.
	Have fun, we'll travel in the morning.
	That's E-N-T-O, Entonomics.
	Jerry Lenski, Memphis, Tennessee, 33333, sending a check rather than using PayPal to avoid our bankster overlords from getting a cut of our transaction, for which they deserve nothing.
	Hopefully the mail will be quick enough to get credit for episode 333.
	I'd like to add my voice to those requesting John to spread the word out on the different venues.
	Hey, it's called ChannelDvorak.com.
	Yeah, he means something that a lot of people see.
	Well, if you go to ChannelDevark.com, they would see it.
	Then you'd have a lot of people.
	Yeah.
	Maybe there'd be a Hot Pockets 2009 tour next year because he wants you to come by and you can be sure that there's going to be a Hot Pockets 2009 tour next year with Adam back in the RV. You know what?
	I think...
	Have you been texting with Mickey or something behind my back?
	Because she's like, you know, we shouldn't stop.
	We should just do more of this.
	I'm like, wait, what?
	Yeah, I want to go to all...
	But she wants to do it a little differently.
	Where maybe we'll go to a state and then get a vehicle locally and then do one or two states in the region, then go back home, which I think is a pretty good idea, but in essence, she's getting closer to your wish.
	Let me remind you of something that you seem to have forgotten.
	In your initial idea, you actually wanted to drive on the Trans-Canada Highway to Alaska.
	Yeah, I still want to do that.
	Just not this week.
	I don't want to do it yet.
	We're so tired, John.
	You have no idea how tired we are.
	You seem grumpy.
	Dean Bertram in Accra, Ghana.
	33333.
	That's nice.
	I think that's our first African guy from Ghana.
	Paul Groves, Keniton Victoria, or Kinton, maybe, or Keniton.
	In the morning, John and Adam, here's 33333 from Gitmo Nation Down Under.
	I have been on the $5 plan, but now it's time to really be a donor after a long trip to our nation's capital.
	All that kept me and my girlfriend, Aggie Sane, was your awesome show.
	I may even have converted her to becoming a listener.
	Could I grab some karma, please, for myself and her?
	You've got karma.
	He also wants me to do the Hot Pockets invitation for his phone's next ringtone, which we'll do.
	We'll do it.
	I'll tell you on a 333 show when you have a better connection.
	I'll do it for you then.
	So send me an email and remind me.
	Robert Derden in Hoboken, New Jersey, who you must have just seen.
	333.33 is for karma for an up-and-coming trip in the 67 VW camper van from New Mexico to New Jersey.
	Hoboken.
	You've got...
	Can I have my 7-year-old son, Tom, de-douched in an attempt to get him to stop saying douchebag at the top of the voice?
	Yeah.
	You've been de-douched.
	No, he needs de-douching, not karma.
	No, it says right there, this is for karma for our upcoming trip, and then I gave it deducing, except you're listening to it tomorrow instead of now, when I'm doing it.
	Right.
	Okay.
	And then we have Baron von Pelsmacher from Belgium, or owns Belgium, actually.
	33333.
	Hail the foots.
	Discon Alan Geluk Berengen on towards show 666.
	By the way, show 666.
	We want to thank the Baron for everything he's done.
	Matthew Stroll, Holly Springs, North Carolina, 332.
	He's a member of the 332 Club.
	Real Slaves are part of the 332 Club.
	Yay for knighthood.
	Safe travels.
	And finally, WWORX. In Norwell, Massachusetts, pronounced works, W-W-O-R-X. This is for gassing up the RV. As promised, when Adam and Mickey were in Boston, $200.
	You'll be the associate executive producer for today's show, 3-3-2.
	I want to remind everybody, go to Dvorak.org slash N-A, channel Dvorak.com slash N-A, and also NoAgendaShow.com, and NoAgendaNation.com, where you can partake in other sorts of things there.
	We'll talk about that at the break.
	Yeah, and then we have one more executive producer for today.
	This is E.Adam Atia, goes by the name Adam.
	He showed up at our New Jersey-New York meetup in Hoboken, New Jersey, and he became a knight on the spot, donating the required amount of $1,000 in cash, and I ignited him with a pizza cutter.
	Pictures to be found on the Hot Pockets Facebook page.
	It pains me to say it's on the Facebook page, but I'll be writing up another blog post and we can put it on a safe haven.
	So he also is an executive producer for today's program and, of course, will receive his knighthood later on.
	And as John just said, this is great that everyone is jumping on the 333 Club membership because it really is helping us in these dog days of summer.
	And just to program your brain one more time...
	And I will be mentioning other Hot Pockets producers who helped us out at our meetup.
	Some PR mentions first, which do need to go out.
	These are all domain names that forward to noagendashow.com.
	And we got a couple that, of course, you can find all these at domains.nashownotes.com.
	We have kind of a cool system set up.
	You can also find all the show notes for today's episode at 332.nashownotes.com.
	So forwarding to the show, we have crotch2012.com.
	Not quite sure why, but I like it.
	Politicalwasteland.com.
	Crotchperry.com.
	Was there a crotch story with Perry that I missed outside of the pedo bear pictures?
	We wish!
	Transportationsecurity.com, which is good, because I can see people Googling for that one.
	I like that a lot.
	And roadtotripoli.com, which could become...
	Well, Hillary might want to have that one one of these days.
	Another forward, thepresidentialrv.com.
	Thank you very much, Selma.
	That's a good one.
	As the Obama bus continues to roll throughout the large wasteland of Gitmo Nation, stop ignoring RonPaul.com, which I think could be...
	It is forwarding now to NoAgendaShow.com.
	It could be so much more than just that.
	I mean, it could actually be...
	What's that, Donnie?
	Did you just buy me a lone wolf picture?
	I love it.
	That's great.
	Well, you bought that at the camp store?
	I love it!
	At the camp store, she bought me a lone wolf picture.
	That's awesome!
	That's great!
	You didn't tell them why, though, did you?
	Okay.
	I love you too, Donnie.
	She can't come in the RV because if she does, guaranteed, the signal goes away.
	So she's like outside in the heat.
	Poor girl.
	And then finally, we got a note from our producer, Alan, from Gitmo Nation Cuckoo Clocks.
	In the morning, John and Adam, well, it was worth a try, but it seems like you need some kind of underwriting sponsorship advertising, call it what you like, before the Guinness Book of Records are interested.
	I received a reply from them a few days ago stating the following.
	Of course, Alan was trying to get us into the Guinness World Book of Records with a mention for the most independently registered domain names pointing to a single site.
	Here's what Guinness said, quote, However, Alan says, as a consolation prize, I have registered NowWorldRecordForYou.com, which of course is forwarding to No Agenda's show.
	And yeah, I think we should give them a big fat...
	Douchebag!
	Those guys are clearly douchebags.
	I mean, this is a valid attempt.
	I think we...
	It is.
	It sounds right to me.
	We got gypped.
	Totally got jipped out.
	Well, you know what?
	We can keep hounding them.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, thanks to...
	They're going to get sick of it.
	You know, if you keep hounding them, they're going to get sick of it, and they're going to have to relent.
	How sad is it that my ex-wife got into the Guinness World Book of Records as oldest playmate ever, and I can't even get, like, a couple domain name forwards in the Guinness World Book of Records.
	There's something wrong with that.
	Oldest playmate ever?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, she was in the Dutch Playboy.
	She was, uh, 79.
	Yeah.
	That's 79.
	The lag is hilarious on this show.
	Anyway, thank you very much to E.Adam Atia for being an executive producer today and, of course, becoming a knight, along with Victor Gregg, Jerry Lenski, Dean Bertram.
	Let me just scroll down here.
	Paul Groves, Robin Durden.
	From Hoboken, New Jersey, Baron Staven von Pelsmeckers, Matthew Stroh, and our associate executive producer, Works, from Boston.
	We highly appreciate the support, and of course we'll be thanking more people later on in our donation segment.
	One more time to program the brain.
	These credits, by the way, are completely real.
	You can put them on your IMDB. You can do whatever you want with them.
	And if anyone wants to know if they're for real, unlike the phonies in Hollywood, we'll vouch for you.
	Just give us a call.
	Meanwhile, everybody else can go out and propagate the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	New world border.
	Shut up, slave.
	Go.
	So I had got a couple of things.
	Yeah, here I come.
	They're just throwaways.
	I was watching Democracy Now!
	obviously.
	I had that clip earlier.
	But they also did a clip that I thought was abhorrent in terms of just misreporting and miscommunicating and misleading is the word I'm looking for.
	They were misleading their viewers with this clip.
	First, let's play the clip.
	Is Democracy Now!
	bad reporting?
	Listen to careful what she says, and I'll tell you what you were looking at as they ran this clip.
	Another pipeline has ruptured near the flooded Missouri River Basin as much as 3,300 barrels of natural gas leaked on Saturday near Ono, Iowa.
	The spill comes just a month after an ExxonMobil pipeline leaked 1,000 barrels of crude into the flooded Yellowstone River in Montana, which feeds the Missouri River.
	Oh yeah, this is where television really works on your brain.
	So let me guess, they were either showing the Exxon Valdez spill or they were showing the Gulf Coast BP spill.
	Well, first of all, it was, I forget how many, 30,000, 300,000, it doesn't make any difference, barrels, she says, of natural gas.
	33, by the way.
	So what is natural?
	It was a magic number.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Natural gas.
	Now, what does natural gas do?
	It doesn't come in barrels.
	It evaporates.
	Does it spill?
	No.
	Yeah, it doesn't come in barrels.
	It just goes into the air, and that's the end of it.
	It's like a big bunch of cow farts, right?
	It's methane.
	So they say that, but then they just quickly mention it was very similar.
	It was similar to the thousand barrels of oil.
	Then they show this, the river, all covered with oil, and then they...
	They're all black with oil, and they show a bunch of oil clips of oil in the river while reporting on a natural gas leak.
	I mean, give me a break, you phonies!
	Yeah, well, dude!
	Oh, by the way, for those of you new to the program, and I have a feeling we may have some new listeners because we've been doing a lot of meetups and people are very motivated.
	First of all, we don't usually suck this bad, but this is all because of the connection, so tune in next week for a better show.
	Second of all, We assassinate the media.
	And what John just did is a fantastic example of that, of how, I mean, totally bullcrap reporting.
	I've got a clip, which is kind of a throwaway.
	Robert Reich, you know him, John?
	Yeah, he's the former Secretary of Labor for Clinton, and now he teaches at the University of California, and he's actually, he's only like four foot three, I think, something like that.
	Well, he'd be good for Michelle Bachman.
	It's noteworthy because he actually cannot, unless you have, I think it takes two orange crates to get him up so he can be above a podium, so he usually wanders around on stage when he speaks.
	Well, as you have mentioned previously, that should be on his wiki page.
	We believe that everyone's height should be listed on their wiki page, so go in and change it right now.
	Put in there, height, 4'3".
	So Robert Reich is doing one of his paid gigs at a university, and he, of course, is on television a lot.
	He's on news programs.
	I guess he's a paid guy to do news hits, right, John?
	I'm not sure that he's getting it.
	He has a couple of books out.
	He does very well for himself.
	And by the way, I want to mention to people out there, well, we mentioned the height thing.
	It's because we believe it does affect people's personalities and the way people perceive them.
	It's not because we care that he's short.
	Yeah, we do.
	We like to lock short people.
	What are you talking about?
	This is the only reason we want that.
	Ah!
	Here's Reich talking about one of his appearances on television and how it works.
	I was on a television show not long ago, and during the station, I was debating somebody, and during the station break, in my ear, the producer said, be angrier.
	I said, you know, I thought we were having a very constructive debate.
	I actually enjoyed the debate.
	I think people were learning something.
	I don't want to be angry.
	She said, you have to be angrier.
	I said, why?
	She said, because people are surfing through the channels and they will stop when they hear people shouting at each other.
	And I said, I'm not going to do it.
	She said, you have to do it.
	And then I lost my temper.
	That's a good story, by the way.
	Yeah, and that clip is, yeah, that actually almost had that clip too.
	For some reason I didn't clip it.
	Yeah, no, that's classic.
	If you work on any of these shows, they put an IFB in your ear.
	But before you even get booked, generally speaking, for example, if you're going to do CNBC or any of these where they always have the talking heads, they'll ask you in advance.
	They'll tell you what the topic is and they'll say, do you have a side that you want to take?
	And you have to have a really strong side.
	You can say, well, I can go either way.
	You're not getting on the show.
	Oh, exactly.
	You say, I think it's the worst idea in history.
	You're on the show.
	But you have to maintain that position.
	You can't go on the show and say, well, maybe I'm wrong.
	You can't do that.
	You have to be...
	You know, it has to be interesting.
	I mean, it's entertainment.
	It's all there is.
	I mean, so what?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	The whole thing's a scam, which is not what we...
	Yeah.
	You know what?
	We're probably going to make this one of our shorter shows.
	Because this is very, very difficult.
	Let me just wait until John comes back here.
	Now there are two things I can do.
	I can post-produce the program, and I can take out all of these annoyances, or I can just leave it in and have a nice lunch with Miss Mickey.
	That might be the way to go.
	It's going to catch up in a second.
	It's just someone using the porn interwebs.
	Are you back with me, my friend?
	No.
	So while we wait for John to catch up and his Skype to kind of reconnect, I'm going to play a clip for you.
	Now, you know what?
	It's no fun if John's not listening.
	Hold on.
	I wish I could pause the recording.
	That would be cool.
	Yeah, the stream is probably crap, too.
	Ah, here we go.
	I think we're getting better.
	Are you there?
	This is not going to be good.
	you Thank you.
	Hello?
	Oh, gosh.
	This, of course, means that show 333 will be really good.
	Ah, there we go.
	John, you should be back with me now.
	Yeah, can I, you know, here's something I've observed during this miserable show we're doing.
	This is the only time we've been dropped off, we've been kicked off, Skype has said you can't stay, you gotta go.
	I've not gotten one of those surveys.
	They usually when you get...
	Yeah, exactly.
	Where's the survey now, douchebags?
	Yeah, there's no survey saying, what did you think of your connection?
	Was it good?
	Was it sucky?
	There's nothing.
	I have yet to get one, and we've been disconnected at least five times, maybe six.
	Anyway, well, we can still hear each other, and I can tell from my meters here when we can and can't.
	Like, for instance, you're about to not be able to hear me.
	Remember that story, John, about the Internet Explorer?
	People who used that supposedly were stupid.
	Yeah, the phony bony story, yeah.
	So the BBC, of course, was one of the media outlets that ran with that story.
	But what's interesting, as it turns out, on, believe it or not, another BBC program, it's a podcast, so I don't know if it's also broadcast on air, the BBC actually...
	Did some diligence on the story, called some people who would know about this, and they still ran the story.
	Listen to this.
	Well, thank you very much, Matt.
	And stay with us, because a different story caught my attention this week.
	The BBC website, along with many, many other media outlets, reported that users of the popular internet browser...
	Internet Explorer had a lower IQ than users of alternative browsers such as Chrome and Firefox and Safari.
	And this got an awful lot of play.
	An awful lot of users of Firefox, Chrome and Safari, I think, spread this story around.
	And it seemed a bit suspicious to me.
	And then we were discussing it just before we came into the studio, Matt, and apparently the BBC called you for your expert advice on the story.
	What was it told?
	Well, I was one of the mathematicians that they checked with, which is very good of them.
	All my normal PR alarm bells went off, because it came from the PR wing of a company, and as I pointed out, it had a self-selecting sample.
	So I raised my usual, it looks like a PR press release bit of statistics, and I'd be very cautious.
	But nevertheless, they ran with the story.
	They did, and they spoke to more eminent mathematicians than me, as you saw David Spiegelhalter.
	He's a friend of more or less, David Spiegelhalter, professor for the public understanding of risk at Cambridge University, and they did quote David Spiegelhalter.
	Yes, I got trumped.
	And when David Spiegelhalter basically says it's nonsense because, or at least it's highly suspicious, because the intelligence they're reporting for Internet Explorer users is about 80, which is actually extremely low.
	I mean, these are people who really would have trouble functioning in front of a computer full stop.
	What struck me as strange is you told them it was suspicious.
	David Spiegelholtz told them it was suspicious.
	To their credit, they asked you and they published David Spiegelholtz's response.
	But nevertheless, they went ahead and published the story.
	And then there was a twist.
	A day or so later, they withdrew the story, replaced the story, because it turns out the PR company itself doesn't seem to exist.
	The whole thing seems to have been a hoax.
	Now, what do you make of that?
	I think this is great, because when one of these press releases comes out, they ask a few people, but the story still runs, regardless of how dubious the data may be.
	Obviously, this is all different media outlets.
	On this occasion, the company happened to not exist.
	And at that point, they had to pull the press release.
	But to be honest, there are countless other equally dubious press releases that have been turned into stories that are still out there.
	So the BBC appears to think the only crime is to be a non-existent public relation.
	Yeah, if you exist, you can make up some data, and that's fine, I guess.
	Okay, well, Matt Parker, the stand-up mathematician, thank you very much.
	There you go.
	That's how it works.
	That's your BBC doing it for you and actually reporting on the atrocities themselves.
	Very interesting.
	Well, there's a story floating around this week that I think could be a hoax.
	But I thought it was hilarious anyway.
	Was this the ecstasy story?
	No, what's that one?
	Tell me.
	Oh, no, this is great.
	I actually have a clip of that, too.
	It's a total plant.
	So apparently a derivative or some form of ecstasy is now able to stop cancer dead in its tracks.
	And this is like, so everywhere the reporting is ecstasy, ecstasy, ecstasy, it'll cure cancer, the illegal drug ecstasy.
	And so I'm looking around.
	I try to find someone who's actually talking about this.
	And it turns out that this is all a setup for people to just talk about Obamacare.
	It has nothing to do with ecstasy at all.
	In fact, even more abhorrent, this entire ecstasy thing is really about genetically modifying people to fix them.
	Check it.
	Sticking with us tonight, scientists announcing two breakthrough cancer treatments tonight.
	One of which is actually derived from the illegal drug ecstasy.
	But the potentially life-saving treatments could be in jeopardy because of Obamacare.
	For details, we're joined now by Dr.
	David Samadhi and Dr.
	Mark Siegel.
	Doctors, great to see you both.
	Dr.
	Samadhi, first tell us about these treatments.
	What are they?
	How do they work?
	Well this is a great research that's being done for treatment of leukemia and it's very exciting because traditionally this is being treated with chemotherapy and radiation and which has a lot of systemic side effects.
	Now we're going from that type of treatment to a very targeted treatment.
	So they have taken the blood from the patient, they have re-engineered and changed the white blood cells which are the soldiers or the defense The defense mechanism of the body, put it back in their body, and they were able to regenerate and fight the cancer cells.
	Now, they have taken care of three patients, and what's interesting about this is that...
	So this is a study they've done on three patients, and this is all over the...
	Ecstasy!
	Three patients, and it's some derivative of the drug that they use to basically genetically modify the white blood cells.
	And now, the whole thing is about how the procedure is too expensive, and it could prolong your life, but Obamacare is going to kill you.
	The side effects are minimum, because they're attacking only the cancer cells.
	So it's a great research.
	All the horror stories we hear about chemotherapy aren't true with these drugs.
	Exactly right.
	So it's all about targeted therapy in cancer, which is very exciting.
	All right, now we've got to get to the specifics here.
	How would Obamacare thwart the use of these drugs?
	There you go.
	And it just goes on and on and on.
	It's nuts.
	Just promotion for Obamacare.
	That's funny.
	Well, actually, it's promotion against Obamacare.
	They're saying that because of Obamacare, you can't have this wonderful treatment.
	Oh, okay.
	But the PR company was smart.
	Still propaganda.
	Yeah, they propagandized it under the ecstasy illegal drug meme, and it really has nothing to do with it.
	It's like some derivative or one of the chemicals for...
	For ecstasy.
	But it's really all just about the pharmaceutical industry wanting to get paid.
	Well, there's one another hoax out there about aliens will enslave us because of global warming.
	That was another one.
	Which I couldn't figure out if it was, because it ran mostly on places like Fox.
	But they used it to mock the global warmists.
	And so you have to wonder who, you know, some of these propaganda tricks, you don't know who, what side are they promoting, are they actually trying to scare people into believing the global warmest, or are they trying to make people think the global warmest are nuts?
	So, you know, sometimes you just can't, you have to kind of figure out what's, who's, where's the propaganda headed?
	But this is the way the news story typically ran on a Fox station.
	Maybe it's me.
	I don't know.
	And climate change scientists are taking their global warming threats to a whole new level, outer space.
	Researchers at Penn State actually laid out a number of scenarios as to why aliens may someday attack Earth.
	And one of them is because humans are spewing way too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
	They speculate that extraterrestrials may be so angered by greenhouse gases they could, quote, kill us, enslave us, or potentially eat us.
	Both Al Gore and Joe Paterno have remained silent on these new theories, though I wonder if the faculty and students there at Penn State ever looked into the works of Edmund North.
	Yeah, so this turns out to be a big hoax.
	It actually was written, but these were basically a couple of bloggers, and you can only imagine what their agenda was.
	One of them is an administrative, I don't know if he's an assistant, because of course I'm all over this, right?
	I see aliens, I'm like, yeah!
	Hey, baby!
	See, this is gold for the show!
	But no, it's a guy who actually works somewhere inside NASA. And when you see the reports, even the written reports, it's like, NASA's report!
	Yeah, study shows!
	No.
	And by the way, that douchebag from Fox, he does like red-eye, isn't that what he does?
	That guy is such a dick.
	This is a different guy.
	This isn't the red-eye guy.
	This is somebody else who was doing some weekend news reporting, who I've never seen before.
	He was sitting in for Lou Dobbs, and I've never seen the guy before.
	But he's a classic Fox guy.
	He's all worked up about stuff.
	Yeah.
	It's all just meant to distract us from the real stuff going on.
	Like, well, there is something real going on, and I will play this clip for you, and I will follow it by the appropriate jingle.
	Ready?
	Chavez is pulling $11 billion in Venezuelan gold reserves from banks in the U.S., Europe, and Canada.
	The Venezuelan president says the move is designed to nationalize his country's gold mines and diversify its investments.
	Chavez also said he is moving assets from what he called sinking economies to places like China, Russia, and Brazil.
	By Ayn Rand.
	Perfect!
	Chavez is doing the whole copper mine thing, only he's doing it with gold.
	And by the way, John, let me just check.
	Is it time to sell gold yet, now that we've hit $1,880 per ounce?
	Almost.
	I'm going to make a prediction.
	I'm watching it closely.
	It's getting close to being...
	It's alright.
	What, are you going to predict it goes to $2,000?
	No, no, I would never predict it goes to $2,000.
	I'm going to predict, and this is when I will go and sell my gold, $27.50.
	Write it down, Johnny boy.
	Bye.
	I did.
	It's written down.
	It's in the red book, which people still want me to take a picture of, and I will.
	And should I tell you why?
	Because a good friend of mine has actually come out and backed me up.
	Who is that good friend?
	That good friend is Nigel Farage.
	Watch this gold move.
	Well, I spent 20 years as a commodity broker and trader when I dealt with precious metals and base metals.
	Ever since I left the metal markets and got into politics, they've all gone through the roof.
	So all my friends who work in metals say, please, Nigel, don't come back.
	Stay in politics because we're having a great time with our chips.
	I mean, it is very, very difficult to predict.
	What gold is going to do, given that in 1998 it was $275 an ounce, and this morning it's trading at over $1,700?
	But if you ask me where would I want my money to be, in gold and silver or bank shares, I think I know what the answer is.
	I suspect, I suspect we haven't seen the worst yet.
	I think that all that happened in 2008 is that we deferred the banking crisis.
	It's now coming back to bite.
	I understand that Goldman Sachs are saying that it could go to $2,500 by the end of the week.
	I think it is impossible to predict, but it is not impossible.
	That gold could double again from here.
	It is just not impossible.
	The Western world's finances are in the most horrifying mess.
	Our banking industry has been allowed to get completely out of control.
	We've got a eurozone crisis in Europe that is far, far, far from over.
	And, yeah, if I was long gold, I would stay long gold.
	There you go.
	There you go.
	Okay, I'll hold on to my coin.
	Your single coin.
	I'm not going to argue.
	Yeah.
	I can see this happening.
	It will probably happen when the economy hits rock bottom in 2013, which is not that far away.
	It gets two years, and gold moves, but it doesn't go crazy.
	And I'm just getting the biggest kick out of this double dip thing, which is not a double dip at all.
	It's always been part of the same process since the beginning.
	And here's the thing that really gets me.
	In fact, we play this clip of this kid in a noodle shop.
	Oh, you want to hear that again?
	You don't want to hear that again, do you?
	Well, you might want to hear it again after you listen to this one.
	There's a story that came out.
	This is again on Democracy Now!
	A bunch of exchange students were brought over from the same generation of millennials.
	You know, you thought the X generation was slackers.
	These guys are like, wow.
	They brought a bunch of kids over and they gave them jobs at Hershey's at the factory.
	And then if you listen to this description, it's like apparently they're on the candy line and they have to pack boxes of, you know, Skittles, which entails like working on, they didn't give them, you know, a choice job that normal workers have.
	They gave them the night shift, which starts at 11 p.m., very common shift.
	You know, any factory that works 24 hours a day, there's three shifts, graveyard, swing, and day.
	I mean, no big deal.
	You work one of these shifts, especially if you're looking for work.
	Most people starting off have to work graveyards.
	It's not unusual.
	But these kids apparently came over.
	They didn't want graveyard.
	I guess they wanted to be the CEO, just like that noodle shop kid, which we'll play later if you feel like it.
	And they went on strike.
	They said, these conditions are terrible.
	We have to lift boxes.
	We have to work on an assembly line.
	And we have to work at 11.
	So they all quit.
	Because they didn't, I don't know what, it was beneath them?
	There was actual work involved.
	You know, this is funny because this is exactly what our producer Michael said.
	We stayed at his and Sarah's house in Chikshini.
	He said he wanted to hire some kid.
	He thought he would get a college kid to go mow the lawn.
	And he could find lots of kids who were willing to sit on the lawnmower and drive around, but he said, you've got to pull some weeds, and they're like, no, I'm not getting my hands dirty.
	I'm not going to pull any weeds.
	I'll sit on the tractor, but no, no weeds.
	This is nuts.
	I guess this is where I play the clip then.
	Hundreds of fine students taking part in a State Department cultural exchange summer program walked out of their job at a Hershey's chocolate plant in Pennsylvania.
	The students said their jobs are exploitative and in many cases grossly failed to cover the costs they spent on visas in their home countries.
	The students have reportedly been required to lift heavy boxes, work eight-hour shifts beginning at 11 at night, and stand for long periods of time while packing Reese's candies, Kit Kats, and Almond Joys on a fast-moving production line.
	Wow.
	Is that unbelievable?
	They have to work eight-hour shifts?
	Oh my god, and lift boxes?
	And they have to work an eight-hour shift?
	Oh no!
	And they all quit?
	That's unbelievable.
	It's bullcrap.
	Play the noodle, kid.
	Yeah, I've been looking for the stupid noodle.
	Oh, here, I got him.
	Hold on a second.
	Ask and thou shalt receive...
	Well, like I described earlier, there are two fundamental classes that are just a plain fact in society.
	You either work for someone else or you work for yourself.
	And most people work for someone else in a way that they aren't free.
	You don't really get to decide your work.
	For example, I work at Noodles, a restaurant.
	And basically, it's a dictatorship there.
	We're told exactly what we're going to cook, how we're going to cook it, what time we're going to get there.
	And basically, if they don't like what they're doing, they try to tell us what to do.
	If we don't listen, they get rid of us.
	And so we're not able to actually cooperate in a way that we make decisions together.
	I try to convince my fellow employees that we should have a union at Noodle as a source of power to start with.
	And then I think in terms of the bigger picture, when you look at revolutions, the way that you actually get rid of any sort of dictatorship is by having workers take control of the place where they work.
	Would your plan, your vision for noodles, would it include the owner?
	What capacity would he be granted?
	If the owner wanted to cooperate with us as an equal and provide his skills that he had, we would definitely cooperate with him.
	We'd have to abdicate his position as being an owner and controller of us, and he would have to recognize that we run this together, and basically, if he doesn't want to cooperate with us, he's against us.
	Ugh.
	He's against us.
	Classic.
	What are these kids learning in school?
	I'd like to know!
	Well, you'd be...
	You'd be...
	You know, I'd like to try something here for a second, John.
	I'm going to see if I can downgrade the stream.
	Just one tick.
	And maybe that'll help us out.
	You can hear me now, right?
	Yeah.
	Let me just downgrade the stream.
	Let's see if that makes any difference.
	If that helps us out, it might.
	Okay, so...
	Yeah.
	Okay, so now we're back.
	It may make a difference.
	I don't know.
	It may not.
	It's hard to tell.
	When people are walking around outside the RV... All right.
	Anyway...
	Well, whatever the case is.
	I still want...
	What are these kids learning in school that drives them to these crazy beliefs that they can't stand for eight hours or they're being exploited?
	The guys in Hershey, Pennsylvania said they were being exploited because they had to work eight hours.
	They're slaves.
	We're being treated like slaves.
	This is, unfortunately, I think it's your generation's fault.
	You know, you guys, just in general, the baby boomers, I think the baby boomers said, you know, oh, my children will have everything that I didn't have, and it'll make it all great for them, and they just became spoiled brats.
	I'm not going to argue against the thesis that it's the baby boomer's fault.
	Because I think it's the baby boomer's fault that we have a cocaine problem in this country.
	Yeah.
	All that blow you did, man.
	You ruined us.
	It's a problem.
	But the fact is, I don't know.
	The whole thing is ridiculous.
	I could never...
	Yeah.
	I like it.
	And then the support that they get from the democracy, they were being exploited and made to work for a living.
	I mean, that doesn't help.
	I'll also say that my generation is partially to blame.
	The dot-com boom, which of course I was a big part of, and we were hiring kids, even without a college degree.
	Here, $150,000 a year.
	Here's a cell phone.
	Here's a laptop.
	What?
	Hey, you need a car?
	Okay, we'll get you a lease car.
	And that also propagated.
	But You know what?
	They're going to learn real quick.
	And some of them, some of these kids, some of these noodle kids, guess what?
	what they're going to die well they're going to end up dying in a hostile but uh in a hostile environment Amen.
	No, I mean, the dot-com phenomenon did ruin, I think, help ruin the country because of the high salaries that idiots got.
	And then when all these companies re-orged, if you haven't noticed, they get rid of the experienced people that are mature and they left all these dingbats in charge of everything.
	No, it's even worse than that.
	Companies that are hiring, which I've heard from a number of our producers who actually work at companies that do hire people, it's so easy for them.
	Everyone's looking for work.
	They just exclude everyone who hasn't been to an Ivy League school.
	So if you're in college right now, forget about it.
	If you're not in Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, you're not even being considered.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	Oh, God.
	All right.
	We really can't interact on this show.
	Why don't I just tell you a little story, and then you tell me a story, and then we just kind of do it at that.
	There we go.
	There's no other way.
	All right.
	I'll play a clip for you.
	This is Bill Clinton, who is talking to Sanjay Gupta, our resident medical alien, as Anderson Cooper calls him.
	And Bill Clinton, have you seen how Bill Clinton looks lately?
	He looks like a zombie.
	Yeah.
	His face is all breaking out.
	Now, he didn't have a great complexion to start with, but of course, this was the guy who was eating burgers and hot dogs and drinking beer, and according to some, doing tons of blow, and other things we know about.
	But his face is like, it's got all kinds of, yeah, it's like pimples, and it does not look good.
	Well, I submit it's because of this.
	The fact that you love to eat.
	But I know, you know, I like the stuff I eat.
	I like the vegetables, the fruits, the beans, the stuff I eat now, I like.
	I like it.
	Do you call yourself a vegan?
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, I suppose I am if I don't eat dairy or meat or fish, you know.
	So you've cut all that out.
	I mean, do you...
	The only thing, once in a while, literally in well over a year now, At Thanksgiving, I had one bite of turkey.
	One bite of turkey.
	Bill, you're dying.
	Get a hamburger.
	Have some meat, man.
	Quick.
	How did he get...
	So, you know, the problem is it's one of these things where you start to lose brain cells with this diet.
	He doesn't eat milk.
	He doesn't eat no dairy, which means no cheese, no protein, no fish, no real meat, no chicken, nothing.
	He's just eating beans, which has got to be bland and missing all kinds of nutrients.
	I mean, they're good, but, you know, so what?
	And farting a lot, I would guess.
	Oh, man, I bet that guy says smelly farts.
	And he's got to be, I mean, he just must be falling apart.
	You know, all those little things you need to keep greased up.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, well, this is not good.
	Another guy, another vegan bites to the dust.
	Yeah, and you read it all the time.
	You know, vegans, I'm sorry, you've got to have some kind of meat or fish or something in your diet.
	That's what we're built for.
	I mean, I'm all against cutting back, but it's funny because we've talked to so many different people who look very healthy, by the way, on this road trip, and without a doubt, all of them are using real butter or lard.
	Sometimes they're cooking with lard.
	They are eating meat.
	In moderation.
	Everything in moderation.
	Their own vegetables, etc.
	By the way, there's this great YouTube video someone tweeted us about.
	This is like a 9 or 10 year old girl.
	Did you see this YouTube video about the sweet potato, John?
	No.
	So she...
	I'm just going to play a little bit of the clip, and you can find it in the show notes at 332.nashownotes.com.
	So she did an experiment with her grandma.
	She takes a sweet potato and puts it into a glass.
	You know, you stick your little toothpicks in it, and she's waiting for it to sprout.
	Me and my grandma went to the grocery store to get some potatoes.
	A sweet potato.
	All you do is put a sweet potato in a glass of water and wait for it to grow vines.
	She's grabbing the sweet potato here.
	We took a sweet potato and waited for three weeks.
	Nothing happened.
	We took another potato and waited for three more weeks.
	Nothing happened.
	So we talked to the produce man at the store and he said, Well, these will never grow vines.
	At the farms, they spray them with a chemical called bud dip.
	These should try one of our organic sweet potatoes.
	And over a month, it finally grew these wimpy little vines.
	Over that time, We went to Ruth's organic food market and got a sweet potato there.
	It only took one week for it to sprout.
	So the experiment she did, obviously, is she got a sweet potato from the supermarket.
	It has been sprayed to not sprout any stalks, which the grocer was happy to tell her.
	Then she gets...
	Yeah, Budnip.
	It's a chemical chlorpropam, which apparently is not a safe thing.
	You better wash your potatoes if you're...
	Wow, just as John was getting into it, we lose the connection.
	Wow.
	Alright, I'll have him come back to the bud nip.
	Hello!
	Come back, connection.
	Oh, boy.
	There we go.
	I'm sorry, John.
	I think I still have you.
	Go back to the bud nip, the chlorpropon, whatever it's called.
	Hello?
	Hmm.
	It's kind of what it used to be like when we were calling overseas my grandparents when we in 1965...
	There we go.
	You're back?
	Yeah.
	All right, go back to the budnip.
	Yeah, I was saying budnip.
	I'm looking, it says chlorpropam.
	I'm not sure there's the actual chemical name, but I'm wicking it.
	Yeah, it's one of these chemicals you put on potatoes.
	I never thought much about it since I buy my potatoes from an organic place.
	They're always budding.
	It's weird.
	Chloropropam.
	It became clear and simple, yet illuminating.
	Actually, that video has alerted people to the fact that they're using...
	This is classic.
	They start using this stuff out of the blue.
	I never heard of this before.
	I never thought much about it.
	But now that this little girl does the video, we realize that, again, they're poisoning us because these guys, they can't move their produce fast enough, so they spray it so you get to buy old stuff.
	It's nasty, but the thing that got me the most is that she actually gets something from the organic section, and it grows like one wimpy little leaf.
	That's just this phony.
	You've got to go to the vendor itself.
	Yeah.
	It's fake.
	Organic my ass.
	They have a farmer's market in Berkeley that is like this on Thursdays, I think.
	And it's like, it blocks off one of the streets up in the area around Chez Panisse.
	And it says it's Berkeley's organic...
	Farmer's market and everything there is supposed to be organic.
	And who the heck, you know, you can just do anything you want and say it's organic at a farmer's market.
	Is there any inspectors or the police going to come in and tell you to shut it down because you're not organic?
	Who knows what you're getting?
	I would guess that most organic stuff is bullcrap.
	I know what you're getting.
	That's what you're getting.
	A good dose of Monsanto, everybody.
	Enjoy your sweet potato with Budnip.
	Brought to you by the fine folks at Monsanto.
	Yay!
	Yeah, herbicides are not good things to be eating.
	Before we get to our donation segment, I do want to pause at the Drone Nation portion of the program.
	As we highlighted over the past couple of shows, John, you discovered through, I think it was a C-SPAN clip, that there are 7,000 drones.
	Well, that's just the beginning.
	And of course, now we hear this bull crap that we want to put...
	Vets who come back from Afghanistan and Iraq who apparently have drone experience, which is not true because they're flying them all from here, from the woods in Langley.
	Just more and more drones.
	So two clips.
	This one, just to illustrate, this is the Middle Tennessee State University who have a memorandum of understanding with the Defense Department about, well...
	partnership with the United States Army in the exploration and development of UAS technology and training yay A memorandum of understanding.
	They'll be paid by the U.S. Army to develop drone technology at MTSU. Awesome!
	Now, so I'm like looking around for drone stuff.
	This is going to kill you.
	And of course, this is actually kind of cool, thanks to...
	It's funny, because I found out if you're on cspan.org and you want to find some cool stuff, just search for the word budget, because then all the most recent things where people are trying to steal our tax dollars will pop up.
	And it turns out there was a conference this past week for the Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International.
	Did you know there was such an association, John?
	Wow, there's an association for everything.
	Yeah, it's the AUVSI.org.
	And, of course, you can look at the board of directors if you want.
	I'm happy to tell you a few of them.
	Colonel Timothy Healy.
	We've got all kinds of...
	These are the new directors.
	We've got all kinds of...
	Lieutenant General Rick Lynch.
	Everyone who's retired is on the board of this.
	This is an industry that is so outrageously large.
	They have their own association.
	It's so big that they put it on...
	Sure, it's the summer months, but they put their keynotes on C-SPAN. And when you see...
	They have a fair, basically, like a conference...
	And there's like 20 different kinds of drones, John.
	They've got the underwater drones.
	They've got the little teeny ones.
	They've got the big ones.
	They've got the Reapers.
	They've got the Raptors.
	It's just everything you want.
	And then, if you want to know how stupidly our money is being spent, we have the keynote speaker, Admiral Roughead.
	Listen to this!
	Well, thanks, John, for the introduction, and I'm also here to reclaim our national honor.
	As many of you know who may follow World Cup soccer, Our women fought valiantly but lost to the women's team of Japan, our great friend and allies.
	But the Navy-sponsored robo-soccer team defeated Japan yesterday, so I think we're even in that regard.
	The Navy-sponsored robo-soccer team?
	Really?
	I like it.
	Can we get coverage of that, please?
	I wouldn't mind watching that.
	I'd watch it.
	Yeah, but we're paying for a robo-soccer team?
	What a waste of the taxpayers' money that's gotta be.
	Yeah.
	Here's what you could do with your money.
	I'm gonna show myself gold by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	We do have some donors that came in.
	I want to mention a couple of them.
	Joel Kuhl Design, $11.11, Princeton, Ontario, Canada.
	Stephen Byton, B-E-I-G-H-T-O-N, and Bally Gowan Down.
	I'm not sure where that is.
	That's the way it came through on the spreadsheet.
	Sorry.
	$100.

	You've been de-douched.
	Patrick Coble in Nashville, Tennessee.
	Sir Patrick to you.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, yeah.

	He'll fix it.
	Buzzkill Jr.
	says he'll fix it.
	Nashville, Tennessee, double nickels on the dime in the morning.
	John and Adam like to get a birthday shout-out.
	We've got that listed.
	If you're listening to the show, he's one.
	Listening to the show every night since he was three months old.
	Hopefully, he'll mold into a good little human resource.
	We can put this towards a future night with No Agenda domains I made a couple weeks ago.
	Point at noagendashow.com.
	You want to read these off?
	You're handling this.

	Fantastic.
	Schnorrestein.
	Sir Schnorrestein.
	Sir Schnorr.
	Yes.

	It's a special site that will...
	We'll take you to a backlink, to Craigslist, and search for Jot Over the Country for you.
	And you have to go to it directly.
	You're not going to get to it any other way.
	And also, we should mention, this will be the last week for the 333 coin, which No Agenda Nation has for sale for people who want to celebrate next week's show, which is show 333, which will be a lot better than this one.
	So I remind you to go to noagendashow.com, dvorak.org, slash n-a-n-a.
	ChannelDivorock.com slash NA and NoAgendaNation.com to help us out.
	We could use the celebratory income.
	And a couple of Hot Pockets producers I need to thank who also belong on the list.
	These are people who have been coming up giving us, well, sometimes water and blankets, but also cash, checks, and other forms.
	No Bitcoin.
	This is from our New Jersey, New York meetup, which was held at Benny's Pizza Place there in Hoboken, New Jersey, which has changed, by the way, John.
	Hoboken used to be like, you know, like young college kids.
	They all stayed.
	Now there's like strollers everywhere.
	It's actually really, it's turned out to be really nice.
	It's a really nice town.
	A family neighborhood.
	Family neighborhood.
	So, at the meetup, which was quite a hoot, and I've got to talk about that in a second, Zamir Hamoud, $20, Stephen Tesler, $33 for a podcast license, Edward Bradley, $100, Stephen Kulhan, $30, Murph, $88.43.
	Ben Nidus, $70.
	Alex Wolinski, $40.
	Of course, we mentioned Sir Adam Atia, who will be knighted officially in a moment with his $1,000 donation.
	Alex Kroak, $100.
	Alan Sparrow, $100.
	And Richard Krasnek, who was donated before, $100.
	And of course, big mentions, big thanks to Sir Daniels, who picked us up at the marina and RV park in a chauffeur town car.
	I might point out, which was very nice for a change.
	And he also picked up the majority of the tab for the pizzas and the drinks.
	I know a lot of people chipped in, but I think he kind of got stuck with most of the bill.
	But he did not complain, and we highly appreciate that.
	Thank you so much, Sir Daniels, for doing that.
	It was nice bumping rings with you.
	Which sounds dirtier than it really is.
	As John said, this support is invaluable to us, and you will remember to donate.
	Because we program your brain.
	And I do have the newest send by Buskill Jr., which includes Richard Hyde on the birthday list.
	I think I have that one.
	Hold on, let me just check.
	Yeah, I've got that one.
	A couple of karma shout-outs.
	Dwayne Parker says, Hey Adam, I've donated.
	I've been attempting to get out from under this house I bought for no effing reason.
	If you could give me a small karma shout-out, that would be great.
	It gets worse.
	On Thursday night, early Friday morning, I was arrested for a DUI. By the way, my car was locked and parked.
	I didn't even have my keys on me.
	I blew a 0.6.
	I've blown better than that.
	They then found my medical cannabis in my pockets, whoops, which they searched twice in the field, then forcibly drew blood from me, even though I had complied.
	I got a bitch of a court fight ahead of me because these cops are shakedown artists.
	On top of that, my consulting job just ended, and I'm in desperate need of one of these 100 or so resumes I sent out to actually pan out.
	Wow.
	So the thing that gets me on that...
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	What town was this?
	He doesn't mention that in his email, unfortunately.
	We need to know about this.
	Well, we do need to know because it's crazy.
	You get arrested for a DUI with your car being locked.
	You don't even have your keys on it.
	On you.
	I mean, what's next?
	I mean, dude, I hope your dog doesn't die.
	It's like, how much worse can it get?
	So here it comes, my friend.
	You've got a big dose of karma coming your way.
	You've got karma.
	We also have a make good here, Scott Hankel.
	He donated $3.31 for the $3.31 show.
	PayPal, unfortunately, lost the note.
	He reads as follows.
	I've been a listener since the beginning of the year due to John's plug on Twit, when he's on, as well as that catchy donation jingle of his.
	Very nice.
	Great show.
	Too bad you guys are the only true American journalists out there in this day and age.
	Hey, that should be...
	TrueAmericanJournalist.com We need a lot more folks like yourselves that will actually report the true news and call out the lies our idiots so-called leaders are spreading.
	Kudos to you two.
	Anyhow, thought that a nation would help fund Adam's trip back to the Republic of California or John's trip out.
	To the last stop before Adam and Miss Mickey head back.
	One last thing, if possible, I'd like to get a triple dose of karma.
	One for the wife in her quest to find a job, the other for us acquiring and funding our first investment properly.
	Lastly, to both of us in hopefully creating a little human resource to help propagate the message.
	So when we do the triple karma, I give a little ding there, we give the karma, and John will hit you up with a ding afterwards.
	You've got karma.
	We need some karma for this crappy-ass connection.
	Alright, thank you all very much.
	Highly appreciated for keeping us on the road.
	As John said, the next show will be the big 333 show, Super Karma, if you hop on the 333 donations.
	Karma does seem to work.
	We receive nothing but great reports about it.
	We don't sell it.
	All we do is just observe it, and it does seem to work, and the magic numbers seem to play into it.
	And as always, the mind control is Dvorak.org slash N-A And today we congratulate Paul Groves.
	His birthday is actually on the 23rd, so that's coming up in just a couple days.
	Keith Gill's 40th birthday this Thursday.
	Patrick Coble, Sir Patrick Coble to you and me.
	His son James is turning one year old, which means he is depreciated by about $700,000, but you're welcome to the world here, James.
	And Richard Hyde, his 40th birthday is today.
	Happy birthday on behalf of John, myself, and the entire crew here at the No Agenda Show.
	Yes, sir.
	And he also wanted a dedouching and...
	Oops.
	Here we go.
	You've got karma.
	I don't know what that was.
	He needed a dedouching, but I gave him a douche, a dedouche, and a karma.
	Well, he needed a dedouching.
	He mentioned he's not getting laid and he's 40.
	Oh, shoot.
	Hold on a second.
	You've been dedouched.
	That's not good.
	40 and he's not good.
	That should help.
	Yeah, okay.
	John, if you can draw your blade here.
	And you have to move a little quickly because of the delay.
	I don't want you to, like, you know, like, come in too late and chop our night's heads off.
	So, uh...
	Matthew Stroh and Adam Atia, please step forward, extend your middle fingers, as it's time for you to now join the very elite group of the Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Because of your support of the best podcasts in the world in the amount of $1,000 or more, we hereby proudly knighted.
	The Sir Matthew and Sir Adam Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Come on over, guys.
	Grab your rings.
	Enjoy your booze and hot pants, hookers and blow, or your rent boys and chardonnay.
	It's all ready for you and well-deserved as Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Well, that was good.
	Yeah, well, I had to make up for something.
	So, um, did you re-knight the guy that you gave the night with the pizza cutter?
	Yeah, that's Adam.
	Yeah, Adam Atiyev.
	By the way, nice guy.
	Really nice guy.
	Two tours.
	Oh, the knights are nice guys.
	Yeah, but what he did is he did two tours of, I think, Iraq.
	And then he took advantage of the GI Bill to learn commercial photography, and he still has a huge student loan that he's paying off.
	And he has some work, but he also needed a little bit of extra karma for it to really pay off.
	You've got karma.
	And he really loves you, John.
	Good.
	Let me just say, I just want to talk briefly about the Hot Pockets tours we're about to wrap it up here.
	Everybody really, really loves the show.
	And I've been to fan days and meetups and stuff like that, but this is very different.
	I mean, you walk in and it's like you get a big in the morning from everybody, literally like a...
	In the morning!
	Other people in the establishment duck and are worried.
	I think we're some kind of cult.
	We are!
	Yeah, we are some kind of cult.
	We had our meet-up in Boston, which was...
	Did we talk about the meet-up in Boston?
	No, we didn't, did we?
	No, I don't think so.
	Right, because it was after the show.
	Right.
	No, maybe we did talk about it.
	No, I think we did talk about our meet-up in Boston.
	No, we did that.
	I don't know.
	The Hoboken one he didn't talk about.
	So, Miss Mickey found a great RV park in Jersey City, New Jersey.
	My goodness.
	Total pits.
	But she couldn't help it.
	No Wi-Fi whatsoever, so we had to make a choice.
	So we decided to come out here, which is essentially the same thing.
	No Wi-Fi.
	But the meet-up was great.
	We probably had, I don't know, 25, 30 people.
	I lost count at a certain point.
	It was at this really cool pizza place in Hoboken.
	And we had the whole back room, and man, there were some superstars there.
	Simon Reed, who does a lot for the show on the stream, he also maintains domains.nashownotes.com.
	Simon was there.
	We had, let's see, we had, of course, Sir Daniels.
	You know who else was there, John?
	Nick the Rat showed up.
	I've met Nick the Rat, superstar Nick.
	Did you get a picture of him?
	Yeah, I think he's in the group picture.
	You need to put Nick the Rat's picture up.
	Yeah, Mickey has a picture.
	Mickey was out there smoking with him and stuff.
	Smoking with him?
	He's a smoker?
	You think?
	Oh, by the way, not tobacco.
	Oh!
	Yeah, no wonder he comes up with all that great artwork.
	Yeah, it's an artist.
	I mean, it's one step from being a guitar player.
	He literally, you know, I said, so what do you do, man?
	You graphic arts?
	He said, no, no, no, I'm a sysadmin, you know, actually tech support.
	And he says, I love doing graphics, but I don't like people telling me what to do.
	That's why I love your show.
	You know, I just sit there and, you know, come up with, oh, that's cool, and he'll make a piece of art.
	And he refuses to work for people when it comes to artwork.
	Now, there were a couple other, I can't remember.
	Oh, Dame Tanya was there.
	Very nice to meet her.
	Yeah.
	She's hot.
	Is she?
	Yeah.
	And her husband was there too, so I had to play it cool.
	There were just so many incredibly nice people.
	A lot of names I recognize.
	People who post on noagendanewsnetwork.com.
	People who send emails, story leads.
	And it was kind of cool to see New York, New Jersey come together.
	And we actually had two feds.
	So we had the entire back room.
	Two cops walk in, sit down, and start eating pizza.
	And at first everyone's like, dude, can you believe it?
	Like, we got real feds here.
	Like, they're probably listeners of the show.
	Well, it turns out they weren't.
	And then, you know, but of course they recognized me from the MTV days.
	And you're like, hey man, hey.
	And these were like total New Jersey dudes.
	And...
	Like, hey man, MTV sucks, I don't play any more music videos.
	And then Mickey comes over and says, hey, you know, I'd love to get a shot of you guys, you know, with Adam or with the group.
	And they said, you know, we're really sorry we can't do that.
	It's against the rules now.
	They can't pose for pictures.
	Which, by the way, is really weird.
	Because when I was a kid, like, you could go to New York City all the time, you know, wherever you were.
	Just, you know, get your picture taken with a cop, right?
	Yeah, this is pathetic.
	You know why, though?
	You know what the problem is?
	Well, it's either going to be terrorism, or they can be identified by criminals, or who knows.
	No, the reason why they get in trouble is because, he says, what's happening all the time is they'll be writing someone a ticket, you know, for whatever, and And then someone's there taking pictures of YouTube videos, and then, you know, five minutes later, it's like, police brutality!
	You know, they're hating black people!
	And I can see where they're coming from.
	I mean, I can see that that's a problem.
	So now it's like, no, you can't...
	It's no longer allowed...
	The Men in Blue, at least in Jersey City, as far as I know, are not allowed to pose for pictures, which I thought was a real shame, because they were nice guys.
	We hung out for a little bit.
	And, of course, we had the Storm of the Century...
	Three inches of rain per hour fell right before we started the meetup.
	It was a huge storm.
	And still people showed up and it was great.
	And it was pretty much the last meetup on the road.
	We have our final wrap in D.C. coming up this week.
	Miss Mickey and Baroness Maggie Vincent, the Baroness of the entire state of Virginia, handling that.
	We are doing it on K Street, which is the center of douchebaggery, and it should be a fun wrap-up.
	And, of course, everyone is hoping that you'll attend, John.
	Well, you know, I'm trying to find some way of attending, but it doesn't look promising.
	Well, everyone would be very sad.
	We have to do some special meet-up where we can all fly into some area and make it big.
	Well, this is big.
	And this is a special area.
	People are just convinced you just don't want to leave the house.
	In Washington, D.C. or New York City.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, well, anyway.
	Chicago.
	Someplace central.
	Dallas.
	Dude, we've been all over the country.
	You could have joined any one of them.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's just there's a lot of family matters to deal with.
	That's okay.
	And by the way, I have to work on the show.
	The show itself is very time-consuming.
	And as you know, because you're miserable, there's a lot of work to be done.
	Yeah.
	I'm only really miserable today because of our connectivity, but it has been very, very hard.
	Last night, as we got in, we drove for seven and a half hours, and I spent another seven hours just prepping the show, just trying to see what's going on, and I have to catch up.
	It's not like I have time to research stuff.
	So I feel today is without a doubt a C-, perhaps a D. Standards and poor can actually come in and downgrade our sorry asses.
	John's gonna hum the Sunday time Well, today's Sunday Times is interesting because they have a picture of some hotel in Libya that's been shot up and the guys are painting it with spray cans.
	It just looks...
	So anyway, Libya is at the top of the news.
	They got a big special on how Perry, Rick Perry, is getting a lot of money.
	Yeah, from Bank of America.
	Yeah, I didn't know about that.
	The whole front page is boring.
	I started looking inside because I scanned through it to try to find something about Syria.
	There was nothing about Syria.
	It's just about Rick Perry and how he's getting all his money.
	And then in today's paper, they also sent a copy of the New York Times Magazine, which is thicker than it's ever been in.
	It's like huge, actually.
	It weighed down the whole opera.
	And it's basically, they're cloning Vogue magazine.
	It's just a bunch of pictures of, you know, perfume models.
	Shit we can't afford.
	And I thought that today's paper was extremely...
	There was no...
	I could find no...
	I could find no coded messages or anything interesting in the paper, so I gave up.
	There was something in the New York Times earlier this week, and as I was up in Armonk, it was kind of cool to see my Uncle Don.
	He actually was like, you know, if you get up early, the New York Times will be in a blue plastic bag out there around 6.30.
	He's up around 6.45, so I was like, in case you want to beat me to it.
	And it was kind of nice reading a newspaper, because we don't get the paper newspaper at the Watchtower.
	We basically read everything online.
	But earlier this week, there was a story about Congressman Issa of California.
	Did you read this article by any chance, John?
	Yeah, it was interesting.
	We were going after him.
	This guy is a total douche.
	It's unbelievable.
	Yeah, I lost you.
	Yeah, it'll come back in a moment.
	Hold on a second.
	Anyway, maybe you'll catch up to me.
	So this guy basically runs his business out of his congressional office, even though the buildings are, I don't know, maybe the building next door.
	This guy is a hundred millionaire, if not a billionaire, but he has all these conflicts of interest.
	And is he a Republican or a Democrat?
	What is he?
	He's a Republican.
	No, that's why the New York Times is all over him.
	But regardless, what a horrible man!
	He's completely...
	When there's calls for cuts on something that might affect his business, he's out there immediately on the floor.
	He's got public works projects.
	He owns...
	Medical companies, buildings.
	He is the example of what is wrong with our government.
	And I don't understand how he can do all this.
	How can you have all these investments and not recuse yourself basically from everything?
	Well, he claimed that there's 13 errors in the story, and he's going after the New York Times demanding a retraction, front-page retraction, and this hasn't been fully resolved, so there's some evidence that there may be a hit.
	I think most of it probably is true.
	Yeah, I would say most of it appears to be true.
	The same is kind of going on down under with our Aussie friends.
	There's a scandal brewing down there, which I'm trying to research.
	I only got into it today.
	One of our producers sent a very detailed message.
	I think it's the finance minister, Thompson.
	Apparently, the Labor Party bailed him out of a bankruptcy for $90,000.
	This, by the way, is the same guy who allegedly declared some strippers on his government credit card.
	Which, by the way, I think we should give all of our representatives a stripper budget.
	I'm not against that.
	If we want to do a stimulus, let's support the strippers.
	But of course, this was to avoid his bankruptcy, because if you are bankrupt, you cannot be a member of parliament.
	And so that's a scandal brewing down there, which we're looking into.
	But it just seems like, can we ever get rid of, can we just reboot the whole system, John?
	Is there a way to do it?
	Do we have to actually resort to our guns?
	What do we have to do?
	Nothing.
	It's too late.
	You can't even do it.
	There's not even, there's no way out.
	BART has released a statement regarding their turning off of the cell phones.
	Which I thought you might get a kick out of.
	Here we go.
	Yeah.
	Play it.
	No, it's not a play, it's a read.
	Oh, no.
	Yeah, so they talk about, you know, for more than 25 years, BART has had a policy regarding the exercise of First Amendment free speech rights in areas in its stations where it can be done safely and without interference with BART's primary mission of providing safe, efficient, and reliable public transportation services.
	Now, let me ask you, how can free speech ever, ever, ever hamper service of BART?
	Free speech is speech.
	Speech doesn't go out and kill people.
	Speech doesn't stop trains.
	So they say, you know, free speech is limited to the free speech zones, as we heard that knucklehead on the previous show, which is the constitutional free speech zones.
	I can't believe that no one is calling BART on this and saying that, you know, free speech has to be limited to any area because speech is just speech.
	It's just words and it's vibrations in the air or it's maybe something written.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Well, you know, I think what we're touching on here at this part of the show is some, you know, attacking a little bit, a media assassination.
	I have a clip that's got nothing to do with BART, but it has something to do with journalists in general, which I think was one of the funniest stories I've heard for a while.
	This FBI profiler came on C-SPAN and discussed a new book of his, which is, I don't know if I have the name of it handy.
	The guy's name is Greg, I think it's Greg McCrary is the FBI guy.
	And he's got a book out on profiling.
	He was a profiler beginning in 1969, which seems a long time ago.
	I didn't know they were doing it this long.
	Quantico.
	And so he has this hilarious story about one of the serial killers that I just was a total eye-roller and worth listening to.
	And the white powder and all of that, but that's separate from the 9-11 investigation itself, the 9-11 attacks.
	What has been in your career, what was the most difficult profile to put together and why?
	I don't know.
	Each one has its own unique challenge.
	I think they're all unique.
	I think one of the more interesting cases that I had was a serial murder case where the individual was murdering in Europe and the United States.
	And he was sort of back and forth between the two.
	And I always say that true crime is more interesting or more unbelievable than fictional crime because if you write this stuff up as fiction, people aren't going to believe it.
	But this guy, for example, Was a member of the media who was covering his own murders for the media.
	He was reporting on it, writing for the newspaper, going on TV, doing interviews, and covering his own murders, and meanwhile going out and killing these women and then coming back and reporting on it, interviewing the detectives, interviewing the people in charge about the nature of the investigation and the status of the investigation and all of those things.
	So it was an intriguing case.
	Did your profile include that aspect?
	Well, I got involved later in the case, and I worked with the Austrian authorities.
	I actually ended up testifying in Austria against this guy in his trial over there.
	But it shows that they don't think like we think.
	For example, he went into Los Angeles to kill people.
	So this is why criminals don't think like you and I think necessarily.
	If you went into Los Angeles to kill a lot of people...
	Probably where would you not go?
	What would you avoid at all costs if you went to Los Angeles?
	Probably the police department.
	You wouldn't want them to know you were in town to kill people.
	This guy, the narcissism is there.
	First thing he does is go to the LAPD and introduce himself as a foreign journalist in town to do research on prostitutions in Los Angeles.
	They give him a ride-along, the courtesy of a ride-along, show him where the street prostitutes work.
	He comes back and kills three of them while he's in town.
	So...
	These guys don't think like you and I think, and there's a lot of narcissism involved, and that's one of a number of sort of interesting cases.
	George is an independent in Sykestown, Missouri.
	Hey, was that Geraldo he was talking about?
	Oh, man.
	Is that a story or what?
	That's great.
	Wow.
	Speaking of FBI agents...
	You know, the C-SPAN call-in shows fascinate me because they have, once again, they've got kind of the dorky-looking chick that didn't make the cut at Fox News.
	No, not even at Fox News.
	These women don't even make the cut at Russia Today.
	There's been a couple of good-looking ones.
	This one here is very pretty, yeah.
	You just don't watch it.
	Well, I've been on the road.
	I've been living out of a box.
	So she has an FBI agent on named Sean Henry.
	And Sean Henry is in charge of parts of the cyber unit.
	Now, of course, he's on to propagate the formula about how we need a lot more money for cyber.
	In fact, it's $11 billion.
	They have this right.
	I was watching this last week.
	Every other show on C-SPAN was about cyber crimes or the potential and all the rest of it.
	They're trying to get money.
	Yeah.
	Squirrel!
	Be very, very afraid of the cyber terrorists.
	So, here she is following the script, and his answer kind of was interesting to me because he contradicts himself.
	And then I want to play two of the callers that called in, and I have an idea about this.
	To our nation's infrastructure, hacking into the information technology systems that run...
	Information technology systems.
	Hacking, hacking.
	Electrical grid and otherwise.
	So our electrical power grid, our infrastructure, they communicate using computers and the ability for an adversary to try and intercept those communications or degrade those communications or to infiltrate the networks that run those infrastructures would have a cascading effect and impact on this country.
	Electricity in a major city for a protracted period of time.
	We all saw what happened, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
	After just a few days, there was civil unrest within the city.
	People were without food.
	They weren't able to pump gas.
	It was hard to find water.
	Those are the critical infrastructures that supply us with our necessary day-to-day goods and services.
	And without that, it would be certainly a significant impact on our country.
	So what he actually says is that when they get into the grid, then there's a domino effect, and there'll be pandemonium, we're all going to die, we'll have riots in the streets, no food, no nothing.
	But he's contradicting himself, because with Katrina, yeah, it was very bad in Louisiana, but it didn't spread.
	Not like the grid went down from New York to California.
	Yeah, this reminds me of the Y2K fears in the year 2000, where all these things were going to happen, and it turns out nothing happened.
	So then they start to take a couple of calls, and here's a suggestion for all you producers out there.
	Please pay attention to these C-SPAN call-in shows, because it's a low budget, the hosts are working off a script, we can do so much cool stuff with this.
	And this is the place where you need to start calling in, not just with an in the morning.
	Of course, you need to do an in the morning to identify.
	But you've got to say, no agenda show, the best podcast in the world.
	You could also say, shutupslaves.com.
	But propagate the formula on these shows, because other people are doing it.
	And by the way, we would pick up a lot of listeners, because the people that listen to these shows, that watch these shows and call in...
	They are prime no-agenda material.
	We've got to get the word out, and through C-SPAN, I have to say, is the way to do it.
	Here's example number one.
	Greta, you could conduct this interview with anyone from any nation out there that has any impact, and they could say the same thing, that the United States is hacking the rest of the world also.
	So let's have a little bit of balance here.
	And between NSA and FBI and CIA and the Defense Department, we're hacking countries all over the place.
	All right, let's talk about that.
	Sean Henry.
	So, the caller's talking about other agencies.
	My role in the FBI is in threat mitigation, the attacks that we face here.
	I love that.
	Looking at who those adversaries are and how do we thwart those attacks?
	Can we share intelligence that we collect with the Department of Homeland Security and others to help make this country safer?
	So those are other agencies outside of the FBI that do that sort of thing?
	Well, I don't have any information about U.S. intelligence capabilities as this gentleman's described.
	I have no information about that.
	So that was beautiful, right?
	I mean, this is a total no-agenda type person, and these people are watching these shows, so we need to get to them, and you need to tell...
	It's live, by the way.
	You need to tell these hosts and put these agents from three-letter agencies on notice that we're out there, that we're watching them.
	Here's the one that was my favorite, though.
	Independent in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.
	Morning, Richard.
	First of all, I want to thank you for C-SPAN. What I'm going to talk about is basically drop everything.
	This is a red alert.
	We are talking about the electromagnetic pulse threat.
	There is an author, his name is Drew Miller.
	His book is called R-O-H-E-N Nation.
	By the way, this is happening, and the spook guy, he's like writing down stuff, like he's writing down the name of the author, and the host is like, smoke is coming out of her ears, where this guy's like, this is a red alert.
	Reinventing America after the 2020 collapse, talking about the EMP and viruses.
	Now I'm going to explain to the American people what I'm trying to explain.
	I am talking about the solar flares of the sun that in 90 minutes Could take out our grid system in our country.
	All right, that was Richard.
	Yeah, they cut him off.
	Thanks for your call.
	Well, of course, he's nuttier than I am.
	But if that guy can get through...
	I mean, he would be great to listen to our show.
	Yeah.
	We need these people, so please.
	Yeah, no, I think we need...
	What?
	We're dropping...
	Can you hear me?
	Yeah.
	Can you hear me now?
	Yeah.
	We're dropping the ball on a lot of this, and I think people out there have to help us and get on it, because we can't keep calling these shows, and we do what we can, and we have to do the show, too.
	But yeah, people should do that.
	I mean, Howard Stern used to...
	He got an army of people calling in and doing goofy stuff, but we can do it seriously.
	We don't have to be goofy.
	No, and all these topics are great.
	And like the first caller, I played those.
	I mean, there are a whole bunch of calls.
	The whole thing, you need to see it.
	Link in the show notes at 332.nashownotes.com.
	I mean, the whole thing is just filled with these great calls.
	Some of them are stupid, of course.
	But it's really easy to get past the screeners.
	And my point is that other no-agenda-minded people are watching these shows.
	So it's perfect to go and propagate the formula, pick up new listeners...
	And get a little bit of PR at the same time.
	So it's just a PR mention that I think we should really take advantage of.
	Now there's one other thing.
	Let me just do one thing and then we can wind it up because I know your stuff's better.
	I just have one thing that's top of the news.
	Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone Magazine.
	If you haven't read it yet, it's the new edition.
	He essentially got some documents about a whistleblower at the SEC. Nothing you haven't heard before on the No Agenda Show program, podcast.com or gov.
	But he essentially has uncovered the following.
	ICC has several levels of investigations.
	Basically any preliminary inquiry is what they call a MUI, a matter under inquiry.
	And a MUI is just any investigation that's before the level of a formal inquiry.
	Right.
	And what they've been doing, dating back to 1993, is they've been destroying the records of any MUI that has not proceeded to a full investigation.
	So all these preliminary investigations of Bernie Madoff, AIG, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Lehman Brothers, as many as 18,000 cases, the evidence for all of them has been destroyed.
	He had just a brilliant realization about what Madoff was doing in 2004, and there had been an investigation in 1999 with somebody else who'd moved on who had the same idea.
	For the guy in 2004, there'd be no record from 1999, and for the guy in 2008, there'd be no record of either of them.
	Exactly.
	There was no way to cross-reference.
	And that's exactly what happened.
	Somebody would call in with a tip or they'd get a tip from FINRA or from the New York Stock Exchange about suspicious trades.
	You get a team of SEC guys would look into it for a few weeks, maybe a couple of months.
	They'd do some interviews.
	They'd ask for permission to proceed.
	It might get rejected by a future employee of Bernie Madoff or Citigroup.
	And then they would shred the documents afterwards.
	So, this, of course, is the Olbermann Show, unfortunately.
	What's his name?
	Kendra.
	Kendra Olbermann.
	So, unfortunately, it's on his show, which kind of makes me suspicious that there's some setup going on here.
	The fact that Rolling Stone gets all this stuff anyway is always, you know, we find curious, to say the least.
	And Taibbi has a lot, and the article is very good.
	It's much better than this interview.
	And he goes into the revolving door at the SEC, how lawyers who are supposed to be investigating companies drop one of these investigations, and then literally four weeks later they're working at one of the banks.
	He has multiple examples of that.
	And then, of course, the...
	The fact that the SEC actually allows banks to appoint outside law firms to investigate whatever one of these cases might be, which is weird to say the least.
	We're going toward a model where they would allow companies to investigate themselves during this movie stage.
	What they would do is they'd get a complaint, and then they'd go back to the company and they'd say, could you hire a lawyer and look into yourself and then file a report back to us so we can decide whether or not to investigate you?
	Now, apparently this system worked okay for a couple of years, but when they put Cox in, my sources tell me that this process just became a joke and these investigations just routinely went nowhere.
	So, had you read this article, John, in the Rolling Stone?
	Not yet, no.
	Oh, it's really...
	It's an eye-opener.
	It's really good.
	However, I believe it's a red...
	Well, not even a red herring.
	Well, maybe it is a red herring because Taibbi basically spills the beans here at the end, saying that the very same attorney...
	Inspector General...
	Yeah, Inspector General Cox...
	Where all this stuff flourished and was not investigating, Taibbi's now saying, oh no, it's all going to turn, they'll do something really good with it.
	The SEC Inspector General David Kotz actually is a pretty aggressive Inspector General, and I actually do think that something might come out of it.
	I mean, the record of Inspector General in the past decade or so hasn't been great, but apparently this one is a pretty good one, so people do have hope for this.
	Dream on, Taibbi, dream on.
	No one's going to jail.
	But it's a great article to read.
	Link in the show notes.
	332.nashownotes.com Of course, we've been all over the SEC and how they're basically completely in collusion with the banks.
	And someone should at least throw a shoe at them, if nothing else.
	I have a couple of deconstructions of some stuff Chertoff said at the Aspen, some Aspen conference on security.
	Just a reminder that Michael Chertoff, former secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, who is now selling body scanners and, I don't know, handcuffs and whips and chains, back to his former employer.
	So I've got a couple, but I want to do that on Thursday.
	I also have some interesting spook events that went on with the former deputy director of the CIA and the current deputy director of DIA. And I've concluded that the deputy directors are the COOs, the guys who actually run the agencies, as opposed to the stooge they put at the top.
	Which will be again on Thursday's show.
	But just to finish off, I do have a clip.
	There's a story going around about the killer amoeba.
	Yeah, I've heard about this.
	So Fox tries to sensationalize it over the weekend, but they end up with one of their substitute guys who passes it off.
	With information I haven't heard, everyone's trying to sensationalize the story.
	This guy says this has been going on for decades, this amoeba, and it just so happens to be getting attention now, and you can play the killer amoeba clip to see how this story just dies right on Fox.
	This deadly brain-eating amoeba.
	We've already had three deaths this year, and it seems like the treatment options are much less more potent for that.
	Yeah, well, listen, this is a very strange single-cell organism.
	It's been about 137 cases for several decades now, so it's not that rare.
	The problem is that this particular year, you have a very hot summer down south.
	You have temperatures of 105 degrees.
	You have very little rain in places like Texas, Florida, and things like that.
	All right, what's the movie?
	Come on, spill the beans.
	The killer amoeba movie?
	It's got to be something like that.
	Well, there's got to be something going on, because apparently this guy says it averages 137 cases a year for the last 20 years, so why is it news now?
	So I thought that was an interesting little...
	There's got to be a movie.
	There's got to be a movie.
	Yeah, Brad Pitt's doing a zombie movie.
	Duh.
	Hence all of the zombie stories.
	Well, you predicted that.
	I wish I had the...
	It's in the red book.
	I wish I had the red...
	I don't know if it is.
	I think it predates the Red Book.
	Your zombie prediction thing is way old.
	Yeah, and you said vampires.
	You said vampires.
	I said, no, it's going to be zombies.
	Zombies is what...
	I didn't put...
	It's not in the Red Book, so I don't care.
	There's also...
	The Japan children radiation clip is kind of distressing, because apparently, who knew this was going to happen?
	The Japanese were so much in denial about their radiation problem, they didn't give their kids...
	Iodine supplements, which they need to prevent the radioactive iodine from going to the thyroid, and so we get this report.
	A new study by the Japanese government has found nearly half the children surveyed in three towns near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant have traces of radioactive elements in their thyroid glands.
	The Japanese government maintains that none of the children showed radiation levels that would be problematic, but the study's findings have fueled concern over the long-term fallout from the nuclear disaster.
	Radioactive iodine tends to gather in the thyroid glands of minors in particular, increasing the risk of developing cancer later in life.
	Yay!
	Good work, Japanese.
	Rock on, Joppers.
	So, and then finally, I don't really have any, I mean, there's other stuff, but I think we might as well just see if there's anything maybe we could discover.
	Somebody changed jobs at the Extra show, and so we still hear a couple of Extra-Extras, but we don't have that big wind-up anymore, so I'm going to probably stop using clips from Extra, because they used to have this great wind-up, and then they'd go Extra, Extra, Extra, and they'd play all these little clips.
	This is what it sounds like now.
	Now on Extra.
	New video, Kim Kardashian in white hours before her $10 million wedding.
	Congratulations, guys.
	Extra has every angle covered.
	The two rehearsal dinners.
	Kim today revealing her last minute makeover.
	Great tanning, midnight call to do my eyebrows.
	Breaking details on the wedding from here in Montecito.
	Could it be the most expensive celeb wedding in history?
	How much they spent on these crystal lined invites alone.
	The new twist in the housewife's suicide.
	Did Russell Armstrong threaten Taylor Slawn planning the funeral?
	Plus, lost photos of an unrecognizable tamp ball wife's shocking new nuclear blowout.
	No use of this!
	Extra's GPS tracking Brad and Angie's new home, the 16th century castle.
	Barbra Streisand shoots down the retirement rumors.
	The music legend's all new confessions.
	I never sing in the shower either.
	Lots of sneak peek at Rosie's new talk show for Oprah.
	Hi, it's me.
	Good to see ya.
	You know what the problem is?
	It's the summer months, so the guy that normally cuts the promo, he's not doing it, and as someone who just, you know, it's too much work, they had a deadline, they couldn't get all the extra, extra things in there.
	Or he couldn't find the assets, he couldn't find the clips.
	It sucks, and they don't have that big wind-up at the beginning.
	Yeah.
	Alright, let me just finish up with a couple things that I'm working on for Thursday's show, for the Big 333 show.
	Again, so the only thing I got out of that was that Rose O'Dowell's got a talk show.
	Yeah, great.
	So let me just wind it up, John, from my end with a couple of things that I'm working on for the Big 333 show.
	Tom Vilsack came out.
	Remember that big announcement that he was going to make?
	I guess he spilled the beans early.
	The FDA, led by former...
	Monsens.
	Tom Vilsack announced the U.S. Department of Agriculture has signed a Memorandum of Understanding, an MOU, with the Council on Foundations to provide new sources of capital, new job opportunities, workforce investment strategies, and identification of additional resources that can be used to spur economic growth in rural America.
	This is Part 1B of Agenda 21.
	And, of course, you want to know who are the Council on Foundations?
	Well, this is the Rockefellers.
	And you look at this Council on Foundations website.
	Ugh.
	So that's one thing I'm working on.
	I want to talk about that on Thursday some more, because this Agenda 21 thing is getting on my nerves.
	Yeah, so I'm working on that.
	I just need some actual bandwidth to be able to handle it.
	Another thing is that the...
	Air Force official special investigations unit raided a Nevada Central Valley gun store on Friday yelling, search warrant, search warrant.
	But I'm sorry, you cannot have the military doing this in the United States.
	It is against the Constitution.
	So that's something that I'm looking into and investigating.
	You can't have the actual army doing that.
	And, uh...
	What?
	Yeah, I know.
	The Air Force.
	A special operations unit of the Air Force raided a gun store.
	And this is part of the new meme.
	This is like, you know, it's like, whatever.
	We need the army.
	We can't have...
	You can't have the military doing police work in the United States.
	It's illegal.
	Well, it happened in Nevada.
	Harry Reid state...
	Then there's...
	This, by the way, is also part of the ISA story.
	Ex-Goldman Sachs VP changed his name after he was convicted, and now he's lobbying.
	He's right back in the saddle again.
	There's just so much stuff going on.
	And Blackwater is Verizon's security force.
	It's Z, actually, I should say.
	The consultants formerly known as the Blackwaters.
	They are now protecting Verizon's assets during this standoff slash strike.
	So that could get kind of interesting.
	And then I have Tom.
	I figure we have the mercenaries working in the borders of the USA. That makes sense.
	And then I want all producers out there who are actually posting on noagentanewsnetwork.com and emailing me.
	And if you've emailed for an account, you'll be set up sometime next week.
	I just haven't had the Literally the bandwidth to do it while on the road.
	The flash mob meme is now out of control.
	Everything is a flash mob.
	Whenever there's a group of people, it's a flash mob.
	And this is just more stuff that's going to be used to turn off portions of the internet.
	And luckily it'll start with Facebook and Twitter and we can keep our own servers, but...
	The licensing is not far behind.
	And that concludes the suckiest show in our history.
	No, I think we had a show once that was worse.
	Really?
	In terms of connectivity.
	In terms of connectivity, yeah.
	Well, but basically it's just you and me talking to somebody else and then once in a while someone responds.
	It didn't flow.
	Yeah.
	No, we would have normally pushed the show off to the afternoon or evening, but you have no choice.
	No, I have no choice.
	And the worst part is I actually miss talking to you.
	I might have to call you later just to chat.
	So, of course, this is all a setup for Groovy Karma for show 333.
	That's what will be coming your way on Thursday.
	I'll be back at the Watchtower, the Hilltop Crackpot Command Center.
	Hopefully, if the cable bill got paid while I was away, with great connectivity.
	Coming to you from the...
	Oops, there's no Wi-Fi here near the NSA in the woods.
	Our last show from the Duchess in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I have good connectivity, but all the good it does me, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will talk to you again on Thursday for show 333, right here on No Agenda.
	I'm John Galt, and thank you for joining me.
	With No Agenda, John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry endeavor to market the product of their blood, sweat, and tears to the United States of the Universe.
	As you all know, this kind of Herculean effort to oppose oppressive bureaucratic functionaries cannot go unnoticed.
	That is why I, John Galt, confer the seal of Atlas to these fine men for their excellence in audio programming.
