	The Pacer was an interesting car.
	It was one of the most advanced cars you can imagine.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It is Thursday, September 1st, 2011.
	Time's your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 335.
	This is No Agenda.
	No.
	Preparing for the bird flu in theater September 9th and coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	It's Thursday.
	That means garbage day.
	Time to take out the garbage in northern Silicon Valley.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	That's right.
	It's Fridays here in Southern California for the trash.
	Well, it depends on the neighborhood, I'm sure.
	Really?
	In every neighborhood, they can't take all the trash on the same exact day of the whole area.
	That would be stupid.
	You take out a little bit here, over there, and a little bit over there, and one Monday, get some Tuesday, Wednesday.
	Really?
	You know, you should be in city planning.
	I am.
	John, you are the oracle.
	I will start off this program giving you the big props that you deserve.
	You totally called it, man, on Algeria.
	I mean, like, there's two emails I've received the most of.
	Hold on, let me adjust.
	Sorry.
	That's my underwear.
	One is another foot found in the ocean.
	Oh, yeah, the foot.
	The foot's in the ocean.
	And the other one is, holy crap, Dvorak called Algeria and he was right!
	Now, that was spectacular.
	I had not thought about Algeria at all.
	That was really good.
	Well, thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
	Actually, I did...
	It's time to put a no-fly zone over.
	Well, it's just about.
	So, of course, what happened is apparently Gaddafi's kids crossed the border into Algeria, including his smoking hot daughter.
	Is she hot or what?
	She's very attractive.
	Oh, man.
	And she gave birth.
	I don't know if she gave birth in Libya or Algeria, but I think Algeria, actually.
	So anyway, so you called this.
	I'm like, wow, man.
	Algeria is like one of these countries you don't look at, even though it's huge.
	I think it's the biggest country in Africa, actually.
	It's really big.
	And of course, we haven't been looking at that because we were paying attention to Tunisia.
	And so I'm like, oh, I might as well go take a look and see what's going on.
	And lo and behold...
	It turns out the Chiners have been there for quite a while.
	And they've been building, let's see, they have $20 billion in government construction contracts, they've been building schools, roads, of course all of this for the spoils of the country.
	And as it turns out, and this is what confused me, and maybe you can help me in the history, in the 90s, the dictator there, because of course they also have an evil dictator, not with a cool name though.
	Do you know the guy's name?
	The guy's name?
	Who's on first?
	Yeah, exactly.
	The Algerian dictator?
	Not off the top of my head.
	He needs a PR. He needs Hill and Knowlton to help him out.
	Abdelzeez Bouteflika.
	Yeah.
	It's not a good name.
	It's going to be hard for Don Lemon to remember how to say that.
	He won't be able to.
	Bouteflika.
	Bouteflika.
	I don't know if it's Bouteflika or Bouteflika.
	But he has ruled Algeria with an iron fist using the same state of emergency clauses that kept the Egyptian regime powerful for so long.
	And in the 90s, he killed 200,000 people.
	It's funny because I can't remember the no-fly zone in the 90s.
	Well, apparently we're paying less attention.
	We didn't care about people.
	It was the go-go decade.
	Clinton and parties and dot-coms and we were having the time of our lives.
	Screw Algeria.
	Yeah, we didn't care about it at all.
	I was just really surprised.
	So, now they do have, they got some goods there.
	They got some oil.
	We got some good stuff going on there, so I guess they're teeing them up, but wow, what a call.
	Fantastic.
	Great job.
	Really good job on that.
	And in the morning to you, John.
	In the morning to you, in the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground and feet washing up on shore.
	Yes, and of course all of our human resources in the chat room at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net, all charged up and ready to go.
	And if you have your foots in the oceans, in case you hadn't heard, here's the official report.
	A chilling discovery today just north of Seattle in Vancouver, B.C. CTV News reports a running shoe containing what appears to be a human foot and leg bones washed up in False Creek near the Plaza of Nations Marina.
	It's the 12th discovery of a human foot in the coastal region from B.C. to northwestern Washington in four years.
	So far, police don't suspect foul play in any of the cases, which are believed to have been detached naturally.
	I love that!
	It's like, no foul play.
	Wait a minute.
	My foot keeps showing up.
	And detached naturally.
	What?
	They made the case that for some reason, if it's encased in a shoe...
	It's natural.
	I guess the fish and everything, they kind of gnaw away and then they end up cutting the ankle bone off.
	Yeah.
	And then the foot washes, you know, floats off because of the shoe.
	That's why it's always a hiking shoe or like a jogging shoe that floats.
	A floater.
	And it keeps the foot afloat and it floats over and it washes up.
	How can you say no foul play?
	It's a freaking foot.
	Well, I know.
	The question is, what's the foot doing there in the first place?
	Right.
	As no foul play.
	The foot was not harmed.
	It was severed naturally.
	I don't know.
	But apparently they traced at least three of the feet to missing men in Vancouver.
	Really?
	And I'm pronouncing it correctly, Vancouver.
	Vancouver.
	So we have noagendafoots.com.
	I don't know if it's been updated, though.
	I did look at it yesterday, and it had not been updated with the latest information, so I'm not sure who...
	See, it's not updated.
	This is very bad.
	Last update, 8th of March, 2011.
	Whoever is managing noagendafoots.com, please update your site.
	This is not good.
	They've lost interest.
	Well, see?
	This is what happens.
	It's a drawback to volunteerism.
	Yeah, that's true.
	That is a drawback.
	And if somebody gets a job or they lose interest or they get a new girlfriend.
	Yeah.
	What are you doing that for?
	What are you doing that for?
	Don't you know it's feet?
	You pay more attention to me.
	Don't you know it's feet?
	It's not foots.
	What are you, nuts?
	Noagendafoots.com.
	But just in time, John, for September 9th.
	The United Nations is warning of a resurgence of bird flu and it's urging greater surveillance.
	The UN says a mutant strain of H5N1 appears to be spreading in parts of Asia.
	Last week, a six-year-old Cambodian girl became that country's eighth victim this year.
	And for those of you who did not know, September 9th in theaters, an all-star cast.
	We've got Matt Damon, Kate Winslet.
	We've got, what's the guy, the black guy?
	Howard Jackson?
	No, no, this guy.
	Unfortunately, she did die.
	Right.
	Can I go talk to her?
	Mr.
	Amoff, your wife is dead.
	What are you talking about?
	What happened to her?
	What happened to her?
	Is there any way someone could weaponize the bird flu?
	Is that what we're looking at?
	Someone doesn't have to weaponize the bird flu.
	The birds are doing that.
	Yeah!
	Weaponize the bird flu!
	It's transmission.
	So we just need to know which direction.
	On day one, there were two people.
	Where's that guy?
	And then four, and then sixteen.
	In three months, it's a billion.
	That's where we're headed!
	They're calling out the National Guard.
	They're moving the president underground.
	People will panic.
	Get away!
	It will tip over.
	The truth is being kept from the world.
	Cook your samples.
	Destroy everything.
	Yes!
	We're all gonna die.
	Lawrence Fishburne is who it was.
	Lawrence Fishburne.
	Fish...
	Footburn.
	Whatever.
	So, wait a minute.
	Let me get this straight.
	How does this work?
	You're telling me that the bullcrap news organizations out there are promoting this resurgence of bird flu, which we, by the way, could have covered a couple weeks ago.
	We did.
	No, we did.
	We talked about contagion several weeks ago when this started to bubble up.
	Apparently, there's some activity taking place in Southeast Asia, but it's minor and isolated.
	But you're telling me that they're doing this because there's a movie coming out, so it's gone up to the top of the news?
	Well, that'll be interesting when the New York Times picks it up, then we know that the movie's just about to hit.
	Yeah, well, September 9th is when it comes out, so, yeah, and it's bird flu, and all of a sudden the bird flu picks up.
	This is, I think it's just stupid journalism, and I'm sure that the, it's Warner Brothers, this movie, they've got a good PR team, they know how to do it.
	So they're out there.
	They're like, you know, they've got their people in Asia.
	Hey, hey, hey, man.
	I think that kid died from bird flu.
	Make a news release.
	Come on, come on, come on.
	But this does come from the World Health Organization, which we know is corrupt.
	And so it's very possible that there's some funding going back and forth.
	Like, look, you know, it's time.
	We've got to get the vaccines.
	Of course, we have to have a vaccine.
	We've got to have a new vaccine because the old vaccine, this is a mutated version of the bird flu, John.
	It's not just the old H1N1, H15N1932. It's a new version.
	But that was the swine flu, the bird flu we never had a vaccine for.
	Right.
	Well, can't we develop one?
	Can we go into some kind of panic?
	Well, they've been trying.
	So, yeah, it's always just so conveniently coincidental how this happens.
	That's all I know.
	I'm looking for something.
	I'm looking for a coded message in today's times.
	I'm not seeing anything.
	Our president here in Gitmo Nation West continues to try and...
	I guess he's got a speech coming up next week and he's going to tell us how he's going to get some jobs.
	Um...
	You know the best way to keep your job?
	Don't quit.
	No, it's not to have the president show up at your company.
	Oh yeah, that's hilarious.
	Everyone loves this story.
	Yeah, this is March of 2010, the president in Northern California.
	The incredible cutting-edge solar panels that you're manufacturing, but also the process that goes into the manufacturing of these solar panels.
	And it is just a testament to American ingenuity.
	Yeah.
	Dynamism.
	Dynamism.
	And the fact that we continue to have the best universities in the world, the best technology in the world, and most importantly, the best workers in the world.
	And you guys all represent us.
	That's right.
	You rock.
	Thank you very much for that.
	You rock, you rock, you rock.
	Is dynamism a word?
	Is that a proper use of the word, dynamism?
	Yeah.
	Dynamism.
	So on the heels of this visit to Solyndra, And $500 million, half a billion dollars.
	Yes, $535 million in loans guaranteed for the company.
	This past week, Solyndra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
	Way to go, Presidente.
	Way to go.
	Nice dynamism.
	They had a flair.
	Rocking on the dynamism.
	And by the way, it wasn't just the president who was in on this scam.
	Solyndra received numerous awards and recognitions, including appearing on the MIT Technology Review list of the 50 most innovative companies in the world.
	The Wall Street Journal list of top 10 venture-backed clean tech companies.
	And the Wall Street Journal, the next big thing, the top 50 venture-backed companies.
	And a 2009 Excellence in Renewable Energy Award from the Renewable Energy World magazine.
	So, what does that tell us?
	It tells us they were good at getting publicity for something apparently they couldn't produce.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, how come this is...
	It's a suckers game.
	Yeah, this has not really been news, though.
	It's been news locally.
	No, it's been news.
	The right-wing guys are all over.
	Oh, really?
	Okay, I didn't know that.
	Yeah, big time.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Limbaugh, you know, Hannity, they're all laughing their asses off.
	Speaking of Limbaugh, now, of course, I don't listen.
	I don't listen to any...
	I mean, I don't watch, I don't listen to anything, except C-SPAN and the regular channels.
	I think Rush Limbaugh listens to our show.
	And he, although he's a dick, because of course he won't say, like, I was listening to No Agenda, and here's something that I heard.
	Yeah, and he's got 400 million bucks, he could cough up a $55 donation.
	He could buy a frickin' challenge coin or something.
	So, do you remember what I said on the last episode we were talking about Irene, what I did when I went to Weather Underground?
	And I was comparing what the CNN guys were talking about.
	Oh, it's horrible, horrible, horrible.
	And it was like 20 knot wind or something on the way they're on the ground.
	Yeah.
	Eight at the airport that they shut down.
	Right.
	So here's Rush Limbaugh on his show previously in the week.
	Someone, one of our producers caught this and sent me, it was actually sent me the clip, which is nice.
	Because you got to pay if you want to hear Rush Limbaugh after the fact.
	You got to pay for it.
	Some guy did something interesting and I decided...
	Some guy.
	Some guy.
	Hey, John.
	It's some guy and Buzzkill.
	I'm going to check it myself.
	He's a doubter.
	Deny it.
	And he's watching the reports of 75 to 85 to 100 mile an hour winds in Virginia, North Carolina.
	So he went to the weather underground site and he went to a bunch of cities.
	Now listen to his coded message to us, though.
	He does throw in a little code, but it's still pathetic.
	And towns that were where the hurricane was.
	And the highest wind speed he could find was 33 miles an hour.
	Thank you, Rush.
	We got the message, dude.
	Next time, send us 50 bucks, will ya?
	Well, that's a chicken shit thing.
	Well, he is a douche.
	Of course.
	He takes our fantastic research, which consists of going to a website.
	I'll be honest.
	It wasn't like a huge accomplishment.
	But yeah, it's horrible.
	He didn't do it.
	He didn't go to the website.
	He didn't do the footwork, as it were.
	The foot's work.
	No, it was, like, annoying.
	Annoying.
	So the website people should go to for all this stuff is a weather guy that's up in the Pacific Northwest that my wife is just addicted to his site called Cliff Mass.
	It's Cliff Mass, C-L-I-F-F Mass, M-A-S-S dot blogspot dot com.
	And on his Monday, August 29th post titled, When Did Irene Stop Being a Hurricane?
	The point that it never was a hurricane.
	That's what he says.
	He says there is really no reliable evidence of hurricane-forced winds at any time.
	The storm was approaching North Carolina or moving up the East Coast.
	And he just excoriates the weather guys for saying, he says the fastest he could find was, he says, first, what is a hurricane?
	The official definition of a hurricane is a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of 64 or 74 miles an hour or more.
	A gust of 64 knots, 65 knots, which 64 knots is 74 miles an hour.
	A gust of 65 knots or more does not indicate a hurricane unless the sustained, sustained, Yeah, not the gusting.
	Yeah, I know.
	You know who sent me this link?
	Molly Wood even sent me this link.
	She's like, oh my goodness, you guys were right.
	Never even was a hurricane.
	But I think I've got this figured out because, of course, go ahead.
	I want to add one more thing to this, which is on the clips.
	Yeah, I probably have the same clip.
	FEMA? Well, this clip, I kind of caught it while clipping it kind of thing.
	But there's one clip on there.
	This, they're discussing on one of the stations, some woman is in Waiters and stomping around the floods in New Jersey.
	And she just casually says something that just caught my attention.
	And do you have it, the one there with New Jersey floods, a woman in Waiters, I don't have the list.
	Out of their homes three times?
	Yep.
	Well, just to give you a sense of where I am, standing on the ledge of one of those vacuum cleaners at a car wash, now dipping into the water so you can see how high the water is, and putting this...
	Piece of paper in there to show you how fast the current is flowing.
	It's cold here.
	Yeah, there are like 18,000 people in New Jersey who have remained evacuated.
	3,500 of them remain right here in this county.
	So they're out of their homes and they don't like it.
	But Anderson, you know what?
	This is like the third time for some of these people that they've been out of their homes this year.
	First time for a hurricane, two other times because of just bad storms.
	Yeah, well, thank you.
	I lived in New Jersey for 12 years.
	It flooded all the time.
	All the time.
	The mall would be flooded.
	The Willowbrook Mall, the Livingston Mall, the parking lot would be flooded.
	It flooded all the time.
	Of course.
	Yeah, so now they got another flood because this was a tropical storm with a lot of rain.
	It wasn't a hurricane.
	They exaggerated.
	They closed down the airports unnecessarily in New York.
	It cost the people lots of money.
	It cost the economy lots of money.
	This thing was a fiasco.
	It was a scam.
	It was designed to make Obama look like some sort of a genius because he could handle a massive hurricane hitting the East Coast, unlike Bush, who couldn't handle the one hitting New Orleans, apparently.
	Although they didn't do shit.
	The FEMA people didn't do anything about this either.
	But it was, like, bogus.
	It was completely bogus.
	And, of course, we got some email from people saying, you know, people died.
	You know, by the way, I should mention that 6,500 people in the United States died daily.
	Yeah.
	150 or so from car accidents every day.
	And, yeah, some people died, but it wasn't because there was a hurricane.
	They died because it was a bad storm and some other issues.
	And I also love the 3.3 million without power.
	And it's never specified.
	First of all, it's 3.3.
	Hello, coded message 33.
	Is that 3.3 million homes, 3.3 million people?
	You know, how big is that according to the region?
	What's that of a percentage?
	And I got a nice email from my sister because she did try and reach Don and Meg there.
	in Armonk, which also got some rain.
	And, of course, the cable went out.
	Well, jeez, cable goes out here five times a week in Los Angeles.
	Right, it was under clear skies.
	Yeah, and the cell phone was working.
	But then it comes back, like, they have power, but 80% of our mock doesn't.
	I'm like, how do we even know 80%?
	You know, it's like so much disinformation.
	And...
	What is the point of exaggerating this problem?
	I know why.
	I know why.
	It was a bad storm, okay?
	I know why.
	I know why.
	Remember, we have the Council of Governors.
	This is the new thing that President Obama set up at the beginning of the year, and it's a Homeland Security thing.
	That's why I see Lucy Napolitano, and of course she's in charge of FEMA. It falls under Homeland Security with that FEMA guy, the bad dress.
	Couldn't the guy have a uniform or something?
	He's got like a patch.
	Not very good looking.
	And this was, it's really a bailout for the states.
	Chris Christie of New Jersey asking for $10 billion in emergency FEMA funds.
	Oh, you wait, for the floods that happened twice before and you didn't get to ask the money?
	So this is just a big money grab scam.
	Yes.
	Okay, so here's a little bit on FEMA because, of course, And I wasn't really aware of this until I started looking at some of the websites and there's some funny ones that we could even take the little test.
	Because, you know, if you answer 10 questions right, you are eligible for money.
	See, this is for the stupid slaves in the nanny state to go out.
	And I deserve some money because I live on the coast and I live in the floodplain.
	So here's FEMA, who, of course, has no money because where does this money come from?
	It comes from us.
	This is a douchebag, I think, representative from New York.
	Of course, he's on board with the program because he wants money.
	Representative Price, thank you for your time today.
	You saw this funding crunch coming.
	What did you and your fellow panel members do about it?
	Not enough, I'm afraid.
	Have said for weeks, as we've had disasters throughout the country, and now, of course, faced with this Irene disaster all up and down the eastern dayboard, that we simply must replenish the disaster relief fund over at Homeland Security.
	And what's more, we need to designate this, as the law provides, emergency spending.
	This is a genuine emergency.
	Emergency!
	The notion that we would hold this up until the Republicans can prompt another budget fight and figure out what they want to cut.
	Yeah, and blame it on the Republicans, whatever.
	So the only guy who was calling this correctly, of course, is Ron Paul.
	And he's been on almost every single show, and it was too long to play, and I couldn't really clip anything.
	He got into an argument with Anderson Pooper about it, but no matter where he is, although I think it shows how incredibly intelligent and right this guy is, it is probably the death knell for him, because now every stupid slave is thinking, how can anyone...
	In our government, in their right mind, deny money for victims of this horrible disaster storm.
	And, of course, that's exactly what he's doing.
	He's saying this is ridiculous.
	This is totally stupid.
	And it's setting people up to take advantage of the system.
	And, well, here he is on, I think, Cavuto's show, which wasn't quite as annoying.
	Well, who's FEMA? I mean, it's the people, it's the taxpayers.
	The question is, do we want to go further into debt to bail out the people that we encourage to build a dangerous place in?
	The whole program is wrong.
	They've distorted completely the concept of insurance.
	Insurance is supposed to measure risk.
	Instead, we guarantee that if you did risky things, we would bail you out regardless.
	And the flood program, the insurance program, it's bankrupt.
	I think it's around $20 billion in debt.
	So it's just another program.
	But FEMA happens to be one of the worst.
	There's no other program or bureaucracy that I had to deal with in Congress that I got more complaints for than FEMA. People really don't like it.
	And I've never supported this.
	And I live on a coastal district.
	I've gone through these hurricanes.
	We go to Bath for the constituents because they've been told, you know, get in the programs and we'll bail you out.
	But they don't get bailed out.
	All they get is an invasion of national people.
	You know, the bureaucrats coming in and interfering.
	And it's a disaster they create.
	Well, what happens?
	You know there's going to be a call, a cry, a hue and cry.
	More disaster relief, whether it's FEMA or not FEMA. Let's spend a lot of money to bail out Hurricane Irene, which was very difficult in many places here on the East Coast.
	What is your response to that?
	There's going to be a call for emergency spending.
	Right.
	And there's one way I would actually vote for it, and I propose this when...
	And then he goes into a whole way that he would do it, but essentially, so he's going, and that wasn't Cavuto, that was the guy I actually like on CNBC, whatever his name is.
	Yeah, that guy.
	Yeah.
	But he's right.
	I mean, FEMA is a sense.
	So first of all, you're right.
	It was completely for Obama to look great.
	He's in the war room with Lucy and FEMA, and we're checking.
	We're all over this.
	Yeah, we came back early one day from vacation.
	I'm so awesome!
	And then on the other hand, these governors are like, I got a broke-ass state.
	Let me see, what does New Jersey owe?
	Chris Christie's a good example, and he's also a threat to run for president.
	Most people think he could easily beat Obama.
	This is a good quid pro quo.
	Look, you give me the 10 billion bucks, I'm out of the race.
	I'm out.
	And then I have one more short clip from C-SPAN, of course, that is, above all, the best network on television.
	And this is one of their own programs, which, you know that you're not allowed to, this is not public domain, their own programming when they have an interview?
	Yes, it's very clear on the website.
	So, arrest me.
	Well, it's still fair use.
	Yeah, it's fair use.
	What you can do with it, the difference in this case with C-SPAN is that you can, like, take their whole programming of Congress and put it on your website and kind of promote it without even promoting C-SPAN, but if you're going to use their material, you've got to get permission to do the exact same thing, but you can always clip from it.
	Okay, so I've clipped from it.
	This is under the Fair Use Doctrine.
	They have the government climate, what do they call him, climate dynamics specialist.
	And he kind of, yeah, exactly.
	So these are the guys that are in charge of telling FEMA, amongst others, and the government what to expect.
	Yeah.
	But he comes up with such a gem, I'm like, the whole climate change debate is over after you hear this.
	We study the atmosphere, the ocean, the land surface, including the biota, the organisms that live on the land surface, and we try to understand how they all interact to produce the sorts of variations that we observe.
	Why is there a difference, or why do you differentiate between climate and weather?
	Ah, this is the big one, John.
	The difference between climate and weather.
	I've always been, apparently, a very smart man already answered this for us, and this should be an evergreen clip.
	Well, weather, I mean, there's a famous quote from Professor Lorenz from MIT who says that weather is what you get and climate is what you expect.
	And so, what that means is that, I mean, if we look out the window today, we see that the weather here in Washington is a beautiful, sunny, calm day.
	The temperatures are going to rise into the mid-80s, and that's exactly what we expect for late August.
	But if you go back a week, We were having torrential rain, it was cloudy, the wind was blowing very vigorously, and that's not what we expect.
	So, in principle, we could say Irene was the weather, and today we're getting the climate.
	Oh, okay.
	Just so I understand, that's what you expect.
	That is the most meaningless piece of drivel I've ever heard.
	It means it absolutely has no function in the world.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But he's got a good gig.
	It's just total bullcrap.
	He's got a good gig, though.
	We need one of those gigs.
	Oh, yeah.
	This guy's making hundreds of thousands of dollars with this crap.
	174, probably.
	No, it's awesome.
	It's completely awesome.
	It's so bad, man.
	Yeah.
	Climate is what you expect.
	Weather is what you get.
	Well, so climate change, then, is what we expect, but not what you predict.
	And please.
	Whatever.
	Yeah.
	So, well, on the subject, the right-wing guys this week were all over Al Gore equating racism.
	Yeah.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me play the...
	The science is in!
	Science!
	So I was listening to the clip and I kind of gave up on trying to make the equation because it was just basically Gore rambling and he brought up this racist anecdote about how when he was a kid he couldn't understand racism but his parents or some elders told him what it was all about.
	And so when you just deconstruct what he has to say here in this clip, because when you do, it really has got two points in there about racism and about him and about the southern mentality, at least his southern old plantation mentality, that have nothing to do with climate, but is interesting in and of itself.
	And listen carefully to what he says.
	My generation asked older people, explain to me again why it's okay to discriminate against people because their skin color is different.
	And when they couldn't really answer that question with integrity, the change really started.
	And we still have racism, God knows.
	But it's so different now and so much better.
	Okay, so racism today is different and much better than the old-fashioned racism.
	So that's what he says.
	And he says also that the only people that he, if anyone answered why we discriminate against black people, if they had integrity, which is exactly what he said, then their answer was okay.
	Because he very carefully says, you know, the people with integrity had an answer.
	And it was, you know, because they're inferior, who knows what.
	But he had to be people with integrity, meaning the politicos or his family.
	I don't know.
	Smart people.
	Smart people.
	But then he goes on and says that today's racism is much...
	But this to me was, just as a stand-alone, was much more interesting than anything that he had to say about climate change or that fact deniers are racists.
	Right.
	Which he never actually says.
	Well, he says, right after this clip actually, he says, and we have to win the conversation on climate.
	So he kind of bunched it together.
	Yeah, he just jumps to the next topic.
	Right, right.
	But it seems to me that he went on a little tangent here, and the tangent was more revealing...
	In so far as the way, and I think that someone was pointing this out, that the Democrat Party in general, which has always been the oppressive party to blacks, have somehow cajoled blacks into accepting the way their racism is, which is the new better racism, I guess.
	Wait a second.
	And now, new and improved, it's better racism, brought to you by the Democratic Party.
	So I found that highly amusing.
	I love it.
	Nobody has deconstructed that, by the way.
	They just went on because they're all, you know, this climate change thing is so at the top of the list of the right-wing, you know, knee-jerks that they missed the funnier part.
	I don't know.
	Well, that's why we get paid the small bucks.
	Yeah, Rush Limbaugh makes $400 million.
	Yeah, and steals our material.
	Hey, thanks, Rush.
	Thanks, dude.
	Thanks for the donation.
	Yeah.
	You know, I mean, he pays more than...
	He pays more than $55 for his cigars.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, let's give thanks to a few executive producers.
	We have one executive producer and three associate executive producers.
	And I will tell people out there that considering this is a Thursday...
	It's bad.
	This was a very thin week.
	Very thin.
	Which was the one that Pelsmarkers are predicting on Sunday, but...
	Well, Pelsmacher's on board with the program.
	He wants to keep our show on the air.
	He gets it.
	Yeah, well, these other people, except for our donors here, are lax this week, at least for the period between Sunday and now.
	Vernon White, though, Black Knight, apparently, from Pearl and Texas, who'll get knighted later.
	Needs karma for his new gig to help me not have to deliver pizzas.
	Donated 337, by the way.
	Maybe no more unemployment after 24 of the last 26 months.
	Wait a minute.
	He's unemployed and still donates to the show?
	Yes.
	He's a good man.
	Let me hand out some karma for him.
	Hold on a second.
	He really deserves that.
	You've got karma.
	By the way, he already is a knight, sir.
	Well, we have him down.
	Oh, he's a birthday.
	He's the Black Knight.
	He's had his birthday.
	I misread the icon.
	That's why I'm here.
	That's why I'm here.
	I'm glad you are here.
	Krister Headforce.
	Headforce, I guess.
	Headforce in Jarfala.
	Where is that?
	Where's Jarfala?
	I don't know.
	Somebody look it up in this chat room.
	$250 uncommented.
	Mark Borghese in Las Vegas.
	Lost Wages, Nevada.
	Sweden.
	Jarfala is in Sweden.
	Oh, nice.
	Oh, Krister.
	Okay, that's good.
	Sounds like a Swedish name.
	Los Wages, Nevada.
	Because of listening to your show, I was able to see in advance that Hurricane Irene was a bunch of bullcrap.
	When my parents were concerned about their condo in Ocean City, Maryland, I offered to pay for any repairs from the hurricane if they agreed to pay for plane tickets for my family to use the condo next summer.
	All I can say is thanks for the free trip to Maryland, guys.
	Right.
	Hey, so that's good.
	He gave us the equivalent of half a plane ticket.
	That's nice.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, it's not bad.
	That's awesome.
	David Koss in Euless, Texas.
	$200.
	He'd like an extra dose of karma for his business.
	Kossum.com.
	K-O-S-S-U-M-E. Let's see.
	Here we go.
	You've got karma.
	Actually, I know David.
	He's been helping me with some stuff.
	And he's possibly about to close on a huge contract and really needs the car meet, which he just got.
	And it will give him more time with the family.
	And thanks for hitting him in the mouth on a regular basis.
	And that's all we've got for today's producers.
	The producer class of listener.
	One executive and two associates.
	And I want people to remind you to go to Dvorak.org slash NA. ChannelDvorak.com slash NA. NoAgendaNation.com and also NoAgendaShow.com where you'll find donation buttons.
	You can track us down.
	And usually we just try to program your brain, so close your eyes, open up your mind, and listen to this.
	And we have a couple of PR initiatives that have come into the system.
	These are typically domain names that forward to NoAgendaShow.com.
	You can use these because you say, hey, you should listen to these guys.
	If you listen to these guys, and if it's like no agenda show, that might be too complicated for someone to remember.
	So you can now just say, RickPerryIsAnIdiot.com.
	Right.
	Just go to RickPerryIsAnIdiot.com and he'll find us.
	Or TeamOS2.com, which I find.
	If there's like a really old kind of technical guy, he might appreciate that.
	We also have WeMustWinTheFuture.com.
	Yeah, that's a good one, isn't it?
	How did we miss that one?
	I don't know.
	Well, it's there.
	Remember that?
	That was a meme that Obama kept trying to promote during one of his studies.
	Winning the future, winning the future.
	Well, actually, remember Austin Goolsbee said it was the marketing guys?
	Yeah, the messaging guys.
	That's what the messaging guys of the White House.
	Not Obama's.
	The messaging guys.
	WTF. Win the future.
	Winning the future.
	Well, that didn't work out.
	No.
	Because WTF stands for you-know-what.
	Yeah.
	Chorusofcondemnation.com.
	Thank you very much.
	I'm sure Lucifer Clinton will be very happy that we are promoting her somewhat mangled meme.
	She's gotten it wrong a couple times, but it is Chorusofcondemnation.com.
	And that's now forwarding to know agenda show.com.
	I think we might have mentioned this on the previous show in the donation segment, but we now, courtesy of our lone squirrel, who, of course, does the excellent mixes for us every week.
	We have DroneWars.us, HomeMadeDrones.com, DoItYourselfDrones.com, and all of these are forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com.
	We think those are excellent.
	Down Under, thank you very much for doing this, Julian in Melbourne.
	NoAgendaShow.com.au, very important.
	So it feels like there's some homegrown vibe to it.
	Then we also have FTENow.com.
	There's also some bumper stickers that...
	I'll go along with this.
	FTE is Fix the Economy.
	FTEnow.com.
	So that may be a meme that...
	And we have info.net and.org.
	This may be a meme that catches legs.
	I don't know.
	This one...
	I don't understand...
	Catches legs?
	Gets legs.
	Catches air.
	Runs fast.
	Loses foots.
	Colin F. I have no idea how he got this, but...
	InTheMorningEverybody.com.
	Hmm.
	He's now forwarding to the show.
	And then from Canada, from our buddy up there who was listening to the CBCs.
	And let me see.
	This is the show.
	What CBC show is this?
	David Gray.
	The question is, what do Canadians want and expect from a political leader?
	So he didn't actually call into the show.
	It was a show with...
	With calls, but I guess they also take Twitter messages.
	It was kind of cute.
	What do you got done?
	Email.
	It's a checkup at cbc.ca.
	We have an active conversation going on on Twitter as well.
	Here's a message that just came in saying, Oddly, I seem to like our political leaders once they are out of politics.
	They're always better than the current leaders.
	Interesting.
	Also, a second Twitter message saying, I'm looking for a leader who will wake up in the morning and have no agenda except working for Canadians.
	It's cute.
	You know, it doesn't really promote the show.
	It's kind of funny that the guy like...
	I want political leaders to get up in the morning and have no agenda.
	It's nice.
	It's nice.
	But we really need like, you know, Rick Perry is an idiot dot com or anything.
	We need to, you know, the best thing you can do if you can't support the show financially is to get more people to listen.
	And I don't think anyone responded to our call out to get on the C-SPAN open phones.
	I don't think anyone did that.
	I think our listeners are shy.
	Well, they're definitely...
	The ones that I met, most of them are introverted, but once you get some alcohol in them, it's okay.
	Oh, maybe we should make them drink more.
	Sauce them up a little bit.
	Well, you can do that with just more bad news.
	Sauce them up.
	Just do nothing but depressing bad news.
	We'll drive them to drink.
	That'll put them on the air.
	Right.
	Hey, I'm on the Democrat line.
	Always go in as a Democrat.
	Retariousanidiot.com.
	All right, so we thank Vernon White, Sir Vernon White, to you and me.
	Black Knight, of course, as executive producer of this program.
	Christer Hedfers is an associate?
	Yeah.
	Oh, Christer's an associate executive producer.
	Mark Borghese, also associate executive producer.
	And David Koss, associate executive producer.
	Thank you very much for giving us some hope this week of food.
	That's highly appreciated.
	And as always, this is a real credit.
	You can put it on your business card.
	If you have an IMDB, you can put it there.
	I mean, look at what this company had, you know, all their awards, which were completely meaningless.
	This is something real.
	And unlike the phonies in Hollywood, we will actually vouch for you.
	If you need to, someone can just call us up and we'll say, yeah, he did it.
	Everyone else, propagate the formula.
	The formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Come on, say it with me.
	Shh.
	Shut up.
	Slave.com.
	I got a call.
	I got a...
	I'm sorry, what do you call that?
	Not a callback?
	Do we call it...
	Is it a callback?
	To a preview show?
	Is it a callback?
	When you get what?
	When I go back to something we discussed in the previous show, you always keep correcting me.
	Yeah, it would be a callback.
	Callbacks are usually short little references to something that happened earlier.
	Okay, so this is something that happened on episode 329-er.
	And it was from a PBS program with a dude in Syria.
	And that actually became the title of that episode.
	Let me remind you of this fantastic invention the rebels in Syria, being interviewed in Turkey, have come up with in order to charge their cell phones while in the field.
	With batteries, because our batteries are running out.
	And not electric to recharge your equipment.
	So for phone calls, we create a new way.
	It's actually a simple way to recharge your phone.
	We use a glass of water with two batteries, Duracil or something else.
	It already exists everywhere.
	We use it to keep the batteries in the water for one hour.
	For 30 minutes, then you put the USB adapters inside the water and start charging.
	Right.
	And of course, the PBS interviewer, what's his name?
	McLeod?
	McLeod?
	Laps it up like a dog.
	Doesn't question it whatsoever.
	Laps it up.
	Then, of course, Gizmodo posted this three days after our show, and they tried the experiment.
	Didn't work.
	So now on PBS.org, there is a response.
	The creator of this piece Talked to Omar Well, here's their response, because of course this thing is bogus.
	Quote, Omar emailed me back over the weekend.
	I spoke to him, and yes, there has been a misunderstanding over this battery-charging description for which I can only apologize.
	The glass used for charging was actually a mug and didn't contain water.
	Water wasn't used to charge the phone at all.
	All they did was put a battery-powered portable charger inside a mug, which they carried to protest, and that way it wouldn't look like they had a charger.
	It was concealed in a mug.
	I mean, how stupid does this get?
	How do you get from point A to point B with this story?
	It's a lie.
	It's a lie.
	The guy's clearly saying they put batteries in the water for a half hour to an hour.
	Yeah, you played the clip of the guy specifically saying batteries in the water.
	Yeah.
	And then the USB cable.
	Yeah.
	Electricity had been cut in Daraa for the best part of the week.
	Omar explained that the batteries on their Blackberries and other phones would often run out during protests, so they needed a way to recharge on the go.
	However, they couldn't carry any bags with them, as that would draw the suspicion...
	But they could carry a coffee cup.
	I guess they were in the office.
	A mug!
	Walking around with a coffee cup.
	Well, you know, I'm just drinking coffee.
	I'm not a protester.
	I'm drinking coffee.
	So these guys can't even admit that they were stupid, and so they make up something even more idiotic.
	And by the way, how does a mug plug into the wall?
	I mean, your battery chargers need to have some power source.
	This is PBS, though.
	This is the public broadcasting system of Americana.
	This is the people that the government gets money from and people donate to.
	Yeah.
	Just send us your cash.
	Oh my goodness.
	So, as I said, Omar was really troubled by this and I have absolutely no reason to doubt it was anything but a mistake with language.
	Really?
	It was pretty clear to me.
	I don't believe these young activists have any incentive to elaborate on the tough conditions they face, knowing as I do from three years living in Syria just how ruthless the security forces are there.
	Bull crap!
	Totally just...
	Play it again.
	I mean, it's so clear what this guy is saying, and he is lying.
	He's just making something up.
	Here we go.
	The problem with the batteries, because our batteries are running out, and not electric, to recharge your equipment.
	So for phone calls, we create a new way.
	It's actually a simple way to recharge your phone.
	We used to...
	A glass of water with two batteries, Duracell, or something else.
	It already exists everywhere.
	I think he's getting paid for Duracell.
	Oh, that's a Duracell plug.
	It's a plug.
	That's what it is.
	Hey, man, give me like a hundred bucks.
	I'll plug your name on PBS. We use it to keep the batteries in the water for one hour.
	It's very clear.
	Batteries in the water.
	1 hour or 30 minutes.
	You put the USB adapters inside the water.
	In the water.
	In the water!
	This is so clear!
	And start charging.
	It's magic.
	That's how we charge.
	It's magic.
	I mean, we have a cup, and in the cup we have...
	That's what you must be drinking to believe this apology.
	Well, not only that, but I mean the original thing, the fact that he didn't catch the stupidity of what is nothing more than a short circuit under any circumstances.
	Have you ever been to like third grade?
	It's like classic PBS and I guess the public.
	I don't know anyone else who noticed this.
	They just lap it up.
	He laps it up.
	They lap it up.
	Love it!
	It's unbelievable.
	What does it take to just go, wait a minute, this doesn't make any sense.
	So there's a couple of things going on, and we do have some foreign news, but there's just so much interesting stuff going on here in the United States of Gitmo Nation.
	The president, of course, is trying to raise money to win the future.
	And I believe, and maybe we should start off with that, this AT&T T-Mobile merger, which now apparently is on the rocks, I believe, John, just looking at it on the surface, and you may have a different take, that this is the Obama administration putting the screws to AT&T to cough up some money.
	Like, we're not going to approve your merger unless you donate.
	Do you agree?
	I have written about this merger, talking about how bad it is, and only Al Franken is the only one who seems to have any balls to fight it.
	He's on the committee, right?
	Isn't he in charge of, isn't he on the committee for this?
	He's on that committee, and everyone else is just, oh, thank you for being here.
	Awesome, awesome.
	Thank you for your service to the communications industry.
	I think it probably is a gouge.
	Why not?
	So, I mean, that's all I see, right?
	It's like, this has to be a gouge because, of course, everyone...
	I mean, AT&T spends a lot of money on lobbying.
	All the telcos do.
	And to me, it just seems like there's no other way that this can be taken.
	And also, I presume you predict it's going to go through, right?
	Yeah, eventually.
	Yeah, it's going to go through.
	To the detriment of the United States public.
	So of all the things that are happening right now, the President comes out into the Rose Garden.
	And this caught me by surprise.
	A couple of things caught me by surprise.
	And he brings up the transport bill, which we just went through before his vacation.
	And by the way, Michelle did take the other 747.
	He took his plane, she took his other plane.
	I have to forget that they have to sleep in the same bed.
	$50,000 a week.
	And they're not paying for that themselves.
	At least, you know, screw George W. Bush, but at least he went to his own ranch.
	I wasn't paying for that, was I? No, probably not.
	Probably for the security, though.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah, of course.
	Squirrel!
	So, he comes out.
	He's going to talk about the transportation bill, which, of course, basically just got kicked down the road just a little bit so everyone can go back and enjoy their vacation.
	Now, you'll probably recall that when I looked into this extension of the FAA appropriations bill, which is a part of this whole Transportation Act, which has to be renewed.
	It always gets renewed.
	That really underneath the covers is a huge union thing, because the unions have been wanting to get Delta Airlines into, you know, get them unionized, and of course Obama has to pay back the unions since they contributed so much money for his previous campaign, and now they're back on deck saying, hey, yo, son, son, time to get that done, son.
	You want some money right now?
	You want some money?
	So, he's going to speak on the transportation bill.
	Comes out into the Rose Guard.
	This is...
	You know, maybe it's because C-SPAN, that it has, and I was never watching C-SPAN with previous presidents, and I just never noticed it before.
	But listen, I mean, this is the Rose Garden, right?
	It's like, so the only thing that's there is press.
	We're sitting there, you know, they're sitting there with their cameras, and then first a whole bunch of dudes come out, and we'll find out who they are in a second.
	And then this, so listen.
	So reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration, that reauthorization expires in mid-September.
	While we wait for the president...
	Actually, the President we expect in just a second here.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.
	So, since when does this happen in the Rose Garden?
	He gets an announcement, like there's a PA announcement, for him to come trotting out?
	Does he try out with his hands up in the little squirrel-like rock?
	Yeah, and he does a little jog down the steps.
	Yeah, with his hands up, kind of up near his collar?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Good morning, everybody.
	Please have a seat.
	Good morning, everybody.
	Good morning, everybody.
	Please have a seat.
	So he gets an announcement in the Rose Garden.
	I want that.
	You know, when I have guests over, I just want to walk into the room.
	It's like, ladies and gentlemen, the crackpot.
	I just need an announcement like that.
	So I'm looking at all these guys.
	And by the way, does anybody that's there at the Rose Garden not know who this guy is?
	Excuse me, who are you?
	Who's this guy?
	Wait a minute.
	I recognize all these other guys.
	Hey, Ray LaHood, I see you.
	How you doing, Ray?
	Who are you?
	Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.
	A little Caesar-esque, if you ask me.
	So I recognize who these dudes are.
	Ray LaHood's there, and there's another dude who I'll get to in a second.
	And I'm like, who are these other dudes?
	What are they doing there?
	And if it's delayed even longer, almost one million workers could lose their jobs over the course of the next year.
	That includes some of the folks behind me today.
	You've got Adam Vensel and Chris Negley who are with the Federal Highway Administration.
	We've got Hector Seeley and Austin Anderson who work for the Fort Myers Construction Company.
	If we don't extend this bill by the end of September, all of them will be out of a job.
	See, these guys, this is like saying, if you don't give me money, a kitten will die.
	Seriously.
	And these guys are going, they're like, oh, they're going to pick it up.
	That's me.
	If they can live it up sitting around the Rose Garden behind Obama and hanging out with the guy, I think they're in pretty good shape.
	I'm going to get fired.
	I mean, that was a very disgusting tactic to me.
	I can just see, like, Plouffe or whoever it is, you know, saying, like, let's put a face on this.
	We've got to put a face on this.
	And these guys look kind of sad.
	You know, they're kind of scrawny.
	You know, these are construction guys.
	I've never seen such scrawny, lanky construction guys.
	Oh, I'm going to get fired.
	And then he pulls out the American dream.
	Right now is when we need to be making these decisions.
	Now's the time for Congress to extend the transportation bill, keep our workers on the job.
	Now is the time to put our country before party and to give certainty to the people who are just trying to get by.
	Yeah, that's me!
	Give me some certainty, Prez!
	I can't believe he's staying with that.
	And more, I think more disturbing to me is the fact that the Republican Party has not picked up on this meme and thrown it in his face.
	Just get by?
	Because no one actually listens.
	No one listens to what's being said.
	No, it's because the whole thing's rigged.
	Well, that too.
	It's the same people running both parties.
	And so now I'm looking at these dudes.
	I know who the...
	So these are the fired guys.
	These are the kittens who will get shot.
	And this one guy, he looks like a football coach.
	Like, I know this guy.
	I know this guy from somewhere.
	This transportation bill has been renewed seven times in the last two years alone.
	That's why my Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, a Republican, is with me today, along with David Chevron from the Chamber of Commerce.
	And Rich Trumka of the AFL-CIO. That's the guy, Rich Trumka from the union.
	So it's so bad now that the union, the president of the union, goes into the Oval Office and says, you get your ass out.
	I brought some dudes here.
	You get your ass out there.
	You tell people, these people are going to be fired.
	And by the way, you better get that transportation bill signed with my union demands in there.
	The guy is up there and he's standing next to the president.
	Next to him.
	Well, that's disturbing.
	Yeah.
	So, Obama is out to get money.
	That's what he's doing.
	And the governors are all there trying to get their peace with the fake Irene.
	Yeah, the fake Irene.
	Anyway.
	So, let's see what we got.
	It's not depressing enough.
	I have tons of depressing stuff.
	Well, I got a good one.
	The Tripoli Zoo is doomed.
	Oh, no.
	Don't tell me lions stood still or something like that.
	Not getting enough to eat.
	Suddenly, we get some answers.
	The zookeepers just arrived, so I'm going to ask them about the animals.
	As-salamu alaykum.
	Keith Alec.
	How are you?
	Fine.
	Fine, fine.
	So what about the animals?
	Are they getting enough food?
	The lions?
	The tigers?
	I don't...
	He tells me for seven days the animals got nothing.
	Now ten of the 200 staff have returned.
	They're trying to feed all the animals.
	The big cats get only half the food they need.
	But their biggest problem is water.
	He takes us to see the hippos.
	Of all the animals, they seem the most forlorn.
	The keeper tells us that he tried to get some more water in here.
	He even laid this plastic pipe on the floor right into the tank here with the hippopotami.
	But it didn't work, and they're just left with that rank, fetid water that even they don't seem to want to go into.
	They're struggling to keep up.
	So many animals to feed.
	Hyenas, bears, monkeys, deer, emus.
	But it's the big cats, the meat-eaters.
	They can't feed enough.
	Water is these animals' most pressing need, but it seems without help in these sweltering temperatures, all the animals here are going to continue to suffer.
	Okay, I have a prediction.
	And it's going to become a scandal.
	Okay.
	They're going to feed the other animals to the tigers and lions, and they're going to do a feed-off.
	So they're going to feed the gazelles and the antelopes to the tigers, and then they're going to feed some of the dogs to the bears.
	How about some of those black dudes?
	They're going to start feeding the animals to each other, and somebody's going to get wind of it, and it's going to be a big to-do.
	You watch.
	No, you can put that in the book.
	It's in the book.
	The rhetoric is really, they're really turning it up.
	And this is one, the BBC is the worst.
	So now, of course, we have all of these weird correspondents who are none of the main anchors.
	We had on the last show, we had, well, we found Gaddafi's RV, and look, he has food, and he has toilet paper.
	And...
	And this woman from the BBC... I was watching more of this this week.
	They're going through the house, and the house doesn't have Van Gogh's on the wall.
	No, it's not.
	They have a couple bottles of scotch, and this is a scandal.
	It's horrible.
	It's Johnny Walker Blue, I tell you.
	He has a couch.
	How can this man have a couch?
	He has a swimming pool.
	We'll have none of that.
	Yeah, the peasants don't have couches.
	They don't have walls.
	I mean, it's just ridiculous because it's not like Saddam's mansion.
	It's just a bunch of shacks.
	Yeah, and he has a nice place on the beach, which, by the way, used to be a great tourist resort.
	You could go to Tripoli.
	It was beautiful there on the beach.
	It was.
	It was, yeah.
	So now, here's this woman from the BBC, and she's inside the Department of Homeland Security in Tripoli.
	What's interesting, though, is just like all the graffiti, all the documents are in English.
	And I'm going to actually watch the video and tell you what I'm seeing while it plays.
	The regime kept many of its secrets here.
	She's like, and this is a new thing they're doing.
	She's like rattling on the gate, trying to get in.
	It's all dramatized.
	And they're inside, they have like a flashlight.
	And she's lit with a flashlight.
	Like all of a sudden they didn't have a light to light her properly.
	They get lights all over those cameras.
	Are you kidding me?
	I'm going to read these documents that she's finding.
	And the stuff that's on the wall.
	Because it's all in English.
	It's all in English.
	Look.
	But today, we were able to walk right in to the Homeland Security headquarters.
	Testaments remain to the dark arts.
	Okay, here it says, help keep our classified business secret.
	Don't discuss classified information out of the HQ. That's on the wall, in the Tripoli Homeland Security office.
	English?
	Just here.
	We found operational charts.
	Okay, operational chart.
	Possibility to locate any person owning a cell phone.
	Accuracy around 200 feet.
	This is all in English!
	...by tracking anyone with a cell phone anywhere in the country.
	And guidance on identifying new potential suspects.
	Here features recording targets communication, social network for targets, search in the past for newly identified targets.
	My mind is, like, turning into mush.
	What do they speak in Tripoli in their government?
	Do they speak English?
	Apparently.
	I mean, the only thing I can think is that this is CIA. I mean, whose headquarters are we talking about here?
	Nothing is in Arabic.
	No, what is it?
	Cyrillic?
	Is that the script?
	It wouldn't be Cyrillic.
	No.
	Squiggly.
	Squiggly lines.
	Squiggly.
	No squiggly lines anywhere.
	And the best is yet to come.
	This is where Colonel Gaddafi spied on his own people.
	In English.
	And it seems...
	The guy couldn't speak English out of a paper bag.
	The two languages that are spoken in Tripoli, specifically, or actually all of Libya, is Libyan Arabic, which is a specific version, and Berber, and the official language is Arabic.
	Isn't Berber where the carpets come from?
	It's a type of carpet.
	Yeah, those are really nice carpets.
	Well, that shit's over.
	Alright, so listen to this.
	Now she's lit, but you have to see this video.
	And by the way, Libya, I'm just looking at this wiki page.
	We always forget that Libya was relinquished by Italy.
	So if there was going to be some throwback language, it might be Italian.
	Or French.
	I just put it into the chat room so people can play along.
	So now she's lit by a flashlight.
	You should see it.
	It's hilarious.
	How stupid do you think we are?
	And she's holding some printout, some papers that are printed out.
	This is the BBC. This document was just lying in the corner by the printer, I guess.
	They appear to be a record of intercepted emails.
	You can see here, interception poor, interception zero, interception open.
	She's reading the English.
	Interception poor, interception zero.
	Now, what's interesting is that a lot of the names in these documents are foreign, and a lot of the phone numbers are in the UK. We pushed in deeper, but there are still keeping ducks here.
	And now she's rattling cages, look.
	I can't get in.
	We can't be sure what they lead to, but we've been told there are detention cells.
	Well, shame on you, BBC, for this over-dramatized piece of crap reporting.
	That you've put out there.
	It's just unbelievable.
	Now here the lights are all on, but we're in the secret cave, then we have to have the flashlight.
	Like there's no light on the camera?
	What kind of camera guy you got there?
	He's got these flamethrowers on those cameras for night use.
	So now we have Nick Robertson.
	Now Nick Robertson is billed as the senior international correspondent for CNN. If you look into his biography, he was Nick Robertson.
	Nick Robertson.
	I told you about this on a previous show.
	He was Wolf Blitzer's satellite operator during the fake Gulf War I. So what he did was literally set up the dish and establish connection with CNN from their green screen in Riyadh or wherever they were.
	You remember all of those fake videos.
	So now the guy is like the senior international correspondent.
	And he's dramatizing as well.
	So he finds, just in time, by the way, the Lockerbie bomber, Al McGrawi.
	Oh yeah, this is hilarious.
	But listen, I don't know if you saw the whole setup.
	So he's trying to get into the compound.
	Oh.
	We found Abdul Basid al-Megrahi's villa in an upmarket part of town.
	At least six security cameras and floodlights outside.
	This is Megrahi's house.
	This is where he's been living for the last couple of years.
	We're gonna knock on the door, see if we can get any answer.
	It's like to catch a predator.
	I mean, it's exactly the same camera crew in editing.
	Hello?
	Hello?
	For 15 minutes or so, nothing.
	I'm not sure if they've heard me, so let's try the last ditch means, which is just shout over the wall.
	Now they have him climbing up the wall.
	Hello?
	Hello, hello?
	Hello, hello?
	And this was, you know that this was shot all after they already did the footage inside.
	This is just like B-roll.
	It's like, now we've got to dress this report up a little bit.
	Let's pretend like we can't get in.
	Then, all of a sudden, someone comes.
	Nothing prepares me for what I see.
	McGrahi, apparently in a coma.
	His aging mother at his side.
	So, I mean, I don't even know if this is McGrahi.
	Yeah, you know, you almost get the impression that the idea was this McGraw heap fiasco, which we believe, if people have listened to the show long enough, was part of a quid pro quo based on the fact that there's evidence to show that it wasn't Libya that did the Lockerbie bombing.
	And it was some sort of a CIA thing that went wrong.
	Right.
	With the drugs, with the coke that they were transporting.
	And there was a lot of evidence.
	If you go back to the period that it happened and start reading the news reports in the London papers, they really got into it.
	And then it was shocking to the Londoners, especially the press there, that they came up with this...
	This McGraw-y idea.
	Yeah.
	And then they did a kangaroo court and pushed the guy into jail before they could do anything because there was a kind of a, I guess, a little battle going on politically with the Gaddafi and the United States.
	Right.
	And this was the way to get, you know, to get the level playing field with Libya so we could do some deals with them.
	And so the whole thing was covered up.
	And then it's assumed that there was evidence that finally came out because there was some threats of trying to reopen the case.
	And the next thing you know, they let the guy go out of the blue.
	They just say, OK, you can go home because you're going to die.
	And, of course, the guy then the guy never even showed any signs of relapse.
	And now it's becoming a problem because of this recent Libya activity.
	They've got to get rid of him.
	They've got to get rid of him.
	So whether he's dead or not, they show a guy who's dying, set up by the satellite operator who's trying to get into the compound with six security cameras made by Logitech, by the way, a bunch of webcams hanging around.
	And they show, every news organization showed the guy in the bed, so to assuage the public, which is especially the British public, was getting irked by the fact that this guy's still floating around, and now, oh, he's dying, okay, I guess that's good.
	Cleared up.
	Let's go back to work.
	Cleared up.
	So the only thing I'm missing, because of course this is what's so outrageous to me, is we have these elaborate BBC reports.
	We've got hours and hours of B-roll footage of rebels shooting around.
	They've got their.50 caliber...
	On the back of trucks.
	On the back of pickup trucks.
	Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
	Now, we have flown...
	I have the number here, actually.
	I believe...
	Three to four thousand sorties and carpet bombed this country.
	I have yet to see one, one piece of videotape of the bombing.
	Have you seen any bombing of Libya whatsoever?
	No.
	Not a single thing.
	And the funny thing is, everyone has a cell phone in that country with the ability to take videos.
	Not a single video has been published that I know of or even posted.
	If it was posted, I'd love to see it.
	All we get to see is guys either shooting Kalashnikovs into the air or shooting them at a building.
	You never even get to see the building, by the way.
	My favorite one is those guys running past the building and shooting aimlessly.
	But then no one ever turns to the camera to show us what they're shooting at.
	No, because it's wag the dog.
	It's all fake.
	They're shooting at nothing.
	And then those guys on those trucks, boom, boom, with those anti-aircraft guns just firing away at God knows what.
	They never show the other end of that.
	But this is how television works, because your brain fills in all the rest.
	This is what we know.
	This is how television is put together.
	And we've become so conditioned.
	By movies and television series that, of course, I saw it.
	Well, yeah, I mean, I saw the rebels fighting.
	But not for one second have you seen these thousands, thousands of drone attacks, carpet bombing.
	And it hasn't stopped.
	Now I'm subscribed to the NATO channel, natochannel.tv, I think it is.
	And they've got a spokeshole and a half.
	On this thing.
	And she comes out, and she's clippity-cloppity-clippity-clop.
	She's got the red jacket on, the Hillary jacket.
	She's got the full regalia.
	She's got the necklace with the big blue stones on it, weighing her neck down.
	You're like, I can barely keep my neck up.
	And I'm astounded by what I'm hearing.
	Here we are.
	The NATO mission is important, it's effective, and it's still necessary.
	Necessary!
	In order to protect civilians.
	To protect civilians, John.
	That's why I get it.
	Protect civilians.
	As long as threats remain, there's still a job to be done, and we will get that job done.
	Now, what was the job?
	What was the job that had to be done?
	Well, the job originally was to protect some town out of the blue.
	No-fly zone.
	No-fly zone.
	Right.
	And somehow it's morphed into getting rid of Gaddafi in days, not weeks.
	And then it's, I don't know.
	I have no idea what this is really about, except to secure the country for the forces of the Europeans.
	Well, let's hear a little bit more from the spokeshole, and I'll wrap it up with what it's all about.
	The mission will continue in full compliance with the United Nations mandate for as long as it's needed, but not a day longer.
	Days, not weeks.
	By the way, the whole mandate was no fly zone, but I guess that included just bombing everything.
	It looks as if we're nearly there, but we're not there yet.
	Nearly there, John.
	Not quite.
	Little more bombing left to do.
	In the last week we've seen vivid reminders of where the threats are coming from.
	We've seen the grim pictures from Tripoli and the allegations of mass graves, executed prisoners and a hospital full of dead patients.
	Now, did you see any of this?
	Did you see the hospital full of dead patients?
	I have not seen the hospital full of dead patients.
	Mass graves?
	Did you see the mass graves?
	So you go in, you go into the hospital.
	Hey, let me, can I come in?
	Yeah, come on in.
	And you go in, and the whole hospital is filled with dead patients.
	They didn't have the wherewithal to leave the hospital.
	They just stayed there and died.
	You know, I think you can go to Kaiser over here and go into the emergency room and probably a few dead patients just sitting there.
	...of how the regime has been using mosques, schools, and marketplaces as shields.
	She forgot the Viagra part.
	What is this?
	This is old.
	This is the old.
	They're using an old script from the Bush administration about using all these, you know, shields, human shields, mosques, shields.
	We can't bomb a mosque.
	You know, it still works, though.
	That's why.
	No one questions this.
	...for its weapons.
	We must make sure that these threats are gone and that they're gone for good.
	Hey!
	So we have to get rid of the mosques, the schools, and the hospitals.
	We've got to bomb them.
	Those are the threats, apparently.
	Civilians and cities in Libya are safe.
	Safe.
	So that the Libyan people can build a new future based on democracy, reconciliation, and the rule of law.
	Ooh.
	The rule of law keeps cropping up.
	Once NATO's job is done, it's for others to take over the lead in supporting Libya.
	nations to take the leading role and we've already seen that it is doing so.
	NATO could support upon request.
	Last week, as you know, the North Atlantic Council agreed that any possible future supporting role for NATO must satisfy three criteria, a demonstrable need, a sound legal basis and wide regional support.
	I must stress though that no decision has been taken and the focus for now remains very much on getting the job done under the current mandate of the United Nations Security Council.
	We will get the job done.
	Sick hell!
	We will get it done and we will not a day longer or less, we will get it done.
	We have ways of getting it done.
	This woman is a Nazi.
	The whole NATO operation is Nazis.
	Yeah, well, the whole EU action is Nazis.
	Yeah, so a couple of things, and then I'll just get off of this topic.
	So the RAF, the Royal Air Force, has flown 140 million pounds worth of Libyan banknotes, which is the equivalent of 280 million Libyan dinars, to go fill up the ATM machines.
	But here's the kicker.
	The cash was printed in the UK. How does that work?
	How?
	They're just printing up money.
	Again, from the BBC, by the way.
	It's the first tranche, which is an investment term, of £950 million that will be handed to Libya's central bank.
	So they're just like, hey, you got any toner in that thing?
	It's printing up money!
	And then they show pictures of a woman at the bank.
	I'm so happy!
	I have my dinars!
	Which kind of proves that this whole thing was about oil, but also about the central bank and about the money.
	So I guess the Brits are just printing up the money now, which kind of kills me.
	Well, it's possible that some of these smaller countries use offshore facilities to print their money, secure ones.
	I mean, I would assume that, you know, not everybody has the wherewithal to print the advanced kinds of notes that are out there in today's world.
	You just need a laser printer.
	But, well, probably, you know, I want to remind people out there, if they think that laser printer is going to do the trick, you can make a note.
	Laser printers are all coded.
	Every one of them.
	Not only that, but most of them now will actually, like, if you try to print from Adobe Photoshop, if you copy a banknote into it, Adobe Photoshop will say you're not allowed to do it.
	A warning pops up in Photoshop.
	I'm reliably informed.
	Well, the fact is every printer on every sheet of paper it prints puts a series of impossible to see yellow dots.
	And I think the way you get around it is you run, not that I'm advising people to do stuff like this, but I think if you ran the sheets of paper through five or six different printers, there'd be so many dots on there, no one would ever figure out what it was.
	So to wind this up, just a little, if you look at the Wikipedia page, the book of knowledge for Libya, there are a couple of things that are very interesting.
	You know they've also changed the anthem?
	It used to be Allah Akbar, and now it's Libya, Libya, Libya.
	I'm trying to get a sound clip.
	What is it?
	Who wrote this thing?
	Steve Ballmer?
	No.
	That's a good one.
	We should make that.
	What does it really matter?
	Libya, Libya, Libya!
	Yeah.
	No, I don't know who wrote it.
	Probably the same guy who writes Rihanna's hits.
	I don't know.
	But there was a guy on Russia Today, which, of course, everyone has their own agenda, but I do love it when they bring in the dudes via Skype.
	And in one minute and 15 seconds, he tells us exactly what this is all about and what the whole Libyan thing is.
	And it's worth listening to it.
	You could actually share this with your friends and tell them they can hear more of this good stuff by going to rickperryisinidiot.com.
	And to understand why they did that, we have to understand that this war is fundamentally a war to maintain Africa in a subordinate position in the global economy.
	What's been happening, and this all has to be seen in the context of the rise of China as well.
	China in the last five years has been investing massively in Africa in a way that's unprecedented in terms of building infrastructure and manufacturing industry.
	Now this threatens the whole, the Western ascribed role for Africa, for the Western financial institutions and corporations is as a provider of cheap labor, in fact often slave labor, and raw materials.
	Now what Chinese manufacturing investment is going to do is potentially allow Africa to export finished products rather than having to constantly export cheap raw materials.
	Now how has the U.S. decided to deal with this in the only way it knows how?
	Militarily.
	I really love that.
	It's like, thank you very much.
	That's it.
	It's like, we want to keep Africa's stupid slaves, and we want them to just give us raw materials.
	What, you want to make products?
	No, son.
	That's not how it works.
	And the Chiners, you know, the Chiners are, I gotta tell you.
	They're causing trouble, those guys.
	They're causing a lot of trouble.
	But I have respect for them, because they don't go in and kill brown people.
	They just trick them.
	Yeah, they're very good at that.
	But it's a little different, you know, and I love how this guy says, you know, the Americans go in, the only way we know how to do is we kill them.
	Yeah, we don't have a lot of finesse.
	We don't have any class.
	We just don't.
	We like to blow things up.
	I mean, we celebrate our anniversary as a country by shooting off things, blowing things up.
	We're not that much different, actually, from our brothers and sisters there in Libya.
	No, they like to shoot too.
	They like to shoot in the air, bullets flying.
	These guys, I like the one, the BBC reporter, they go, all these crazy Libyans are behind, or just standing around behind them in the Tripoli, shooting their Kalashnikov straight into the air.
	And she says, well, you know, whatever goes up must come down.
	Oh yeah, lots of people get killed from the bullets coming down.
	Yeah, they're just shooting like crazy.
	Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	Backslash Libya.
	So...
	There's a couple of things I got here that I wanted to go into before we take another break.
	Wow, is it that time already?
	No, we got a little time.
	We got a little time.
	Well, first of all, I just took this clip as kind of an amusement clip, which we could play any time, but I might as well play it now.
	This is somebody, you know, I unfortunately didn't get the guy's name, but he was doing a little piece for one of the news channels on Jersey Shore becoming the number one cable show above all those, you know, Fox News and all the rest of it.
	Jersey Shore is the number one show on all cable.
	And so this guy went out with this camera.
	I mean, anyone can do what this guy did, but it's always funny to hear it when somebody goes out and asks questions about, you know, the real world and then Jersey Shore and the idiots on the street.
	They don't know anything about what's going on in the world, let alone Libya, but they know everything going on at Jersey Shore.
	What's GTL stand for?
	Gym Tan Laundry.
	Gym Tan Laundry.
	GTL, baby.
	Gym Tan Laundry.
	What does ATF stand for?
	At the...
	Food?
	I can't remember what that stands for.
	Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.
	Can you guys name for me the Jersey Shore cast members?
	Pauly D, Vinny, Snooki, JWoww, Ronnie.
	Can you guys name Obama's cabinet?
	Oh, it's a cabinet.
	It's quite a spectacle.
	What are they famous for again?
	Drinking, partying, and getting themselves in trouble.
	Some of the girls get crazy in the hot tub.
	Is that how it is down here at the Jersey Shore?
	I'm from Jersey.
	I would never do that.
	You don't pass out drunk and get arrested.
	I don't get arrested.
	You just pass out drunk?
	Sometimes.
	We're doomed.
	cough That is the American public.
	We are doomed.
	Doomed, I tell you.
	The thing is, you could take the camera on the streets and do that anywhere.
	Anywhere.
	And 90%...
	There are people that know, you know...
	Yeah, but we don't put them in.
	We don't put those into the piece.
	You never put them in.
	But there's still...
	I don't care.
	You know, you don't put them in as true.
	You make light of the whole thing by...
	But, the fact of the matter is, even if you put them in, it would be a small minority.
	Yeah.
	I do have an ATF clip, since they were taught, since, what is it, the food industry?
	What was ATF? At the food.
	At the food?
	Is that a new fast food restaurant?
	At the food?
	This is about the Fast and Furious.
	This is Obama's Watergate, which he might get away with, by the way.
	Right.
	Two big changes here, Chuck.
	This involves something called Fast and Furious, which is an effort by ATF to try to trace the flow of illegal guns from the U.S. into Mexico.
	And what they did was they would watch these illegal buyers purchase guns in the U.S. and then take the guns into Mexico.
	But agents were instructed not to try to stop the guns because the theory was that you would see how the system worked.
	Well, it went awry.
	Thousands of guns, nearly 2,000 weapons ended up in Mexico.
	And two of them were found at the scene in December of last year where a U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed in a shootout.
	It was widely criticized.
	There have been a number of hearings on this in Congress.
	And today the man in charge of ATF, the acting director Kenneth Melson, was reassigned to a policy job at the Justice Department.
	And out in Arizona, the U.S. attorney, the top federal prosecutor there, Dennis Burke, has resigned.
	A senior Justice Department official says, in essence, that the Attorney General Eric Holder had lost confidence in the two of them and that he thought a fresh start was what ATF needed here.
	So this is the latest fallout over this operation that everybody at the Justice Department now concedes was a mistake.
	So they didn't fire anybody.
	They took the guy responsible and reassigned him?
	Yeah.
	Really?
	This is classic, isn't it?
	This is typical government work.
	You can be the biggest screw-up in the world and threaten the presidency, but you don't get fired.
	Nobody gets fired.
	It's just unbelievable.
	Wow!
	I think that this is not going to become Obamagate.
	I mean, it should.
	It definitely should.
	Because it's obvious Obama knew about this.
	And it's totally illegal and everything they did was wrong and bad and bad for the country and bad for the war on drugs, as it were, and all the rest of it.
	And it's going to be swept under the carpet by the mainstream media who just will not do anything to go after Obama.
	Another thing I'm observing, which is kind of interesting, is that the real party leaders on both sides of the aisle...
	Are trying to lose the next election.
	What do you mean by that?
	I think they want to lose the next election because everybody looks at the economy and they know it's going to really go into the tank after 2012.
	And it's going to hurt them, whoever's in office.
	So they just don't want to be a part of it.
	And so the Republicans are trying to find some...
	Might as well say it.
	Some loser like Rick Perry, who couldn't get elected if he wanted to, or Michelle Bachman, who's pleasant enough, but she's not electable.
	They want to run one of those two.
	They don't want to run anyone who has a shot at him.
	And especially Mitt Romney, they don't want to run because he could win.
	And if you listen to the Democrats, they keep promoting the idea that the Republicans should be running Mitt Romney.
	Why do the Democrats care at all?
	The Democrats would be highly critical of Rick Powell.
	He's terrible.
	He's a terrible guy.
	They shouldn't run him.
	They should run Mitt Romney because they know Mitt Romney could beat Obama.
	This is becoming a let's try to lose the election election.
	And I think that it's going to be interesting to see how it comes out, but it's going to be...
	It's going to be a very...
	In fact, I'll make this prediction now.
	The turnout for this election will be one of the lowest in history.
	Well, that's good.
	That's actually very, very good.
	Well, it's still going to be whoever it's going to be.
	I think Obama's going to get re-elected.
	Oh, wow.
	Well, here's what I'm going to do.
	And here's what I would recommend.
	Because we really...
	I think I only have one more shot in this lifetime.
	Who knows if this show will be on the air in the next presidency.
	We'll probably have to have some kind of license and we won't...
	We won't qualify or whatever.
	So this is the only shot I got.
	I have to say, I'm going to go register Republican and vote for Ron.
	Because you can't even get Ron Paul.
	You have to get him into the Republican nomination first.
	In California, you can't be an independent and vote for Republican.
	You have to be Republican.
	So I'm going to have to go against all of my principles, obviously.
	Yeah, I'm going to register as an independent.
	I'm going to have to re-register as a Republican so I can do the same thing.
	And there's a lot of people...
	There's a big movement afoot amongst the Democrats, young Democrats, to register this one time as a Republican to vote Ron Paul in, at least in states where you can do that.
	I really don't like promoting an agenda on this show, but I have one now.
	I mean, really?
	Ron Paul is...
	And I hear really smart people saying...
	This is what they always say.
	You know, Ron Paul, he really talks a lot of sense, but he's crazy!
	That's just crazy talk!
	He's crazy!
	This is crazy.
	Yeah, and I think the Republicans would like to run Ron Paul knowing that he'd lose and Obama would get in again.
	But there is a long shot possibility that Ron Paul could actually win.
	Yes, and I'm reading more and more of this.
	People actually in mainstream saying...
	They're scared to death of him.
	That's why they want to get him out of the picture.
	Hell yeah.
	They're going to have to do what they did with...
	With Ross Perot when some guy in a black suit came up to him and said, Hey, look.
	Look at these pictures.
	We're going to kill you if you keep running.
	Yeah, look at these.
	See this?
	See Libya?
	Uh-huh.
	How do you like that drone, son?
	That drone is going to come to you.
	You'll never hear it coming.
	You'll never hear it coming.
	Before we get to our donation segment, there is one more thing I wanted to point out, which was quite distressing to me.
	Shadow Puppet Theater.
	The president made a nomination for a new shill, a new shadow puppet in his cabinet.
	Did you know Austin Goolsbee was out?
	He's gone, right?
	Austin, the debate winner.
	He was on the Stewart show the last day of his job, and he was just happy as a puppy dog.
	He wanted to be out so bad.
	And, well, here's the nomination, then I want to talk about this guy.
	That's why today I'm very pleased to nominate Alan Krueger to chair the Council of Economic Advisers.
	Come on down here, Alan.
	Come on down here soon.
	Alan brings a wealth of experience to the job.
	He's one of the nation's leading economists.
	For more than two decades, he's studied and developed economic policy both inside and outside of government.
	In the first two years of this administration, as we were dealing with the effects of a complex and fast-moving financial crisis, a crisis that threatened a second Great Depression, Allen's counsel as chief economist at the Treasury Department proved invaluable.
	So, I'm like, always interesting.
	Whenever there's a new guy in, particularly the chief economic advisor, and of course his credentials come, I don't think they're so great, but he was in the treasury advising all that great stuff that got us to where we are.
	So, do you know what this guy is famous for, John?
	This Alan Kruger?
	Uh, root beer?
	No.
	He wrote the book on lone wolf terrorism.
	What's it got to do with being an economic advisor?
	You tell me.
	His book, and you can Google this, it's all over the place.
	What's his name again?
	Alan Kruger.
	K-R-U-E-G-E-R. The title of the book is What Makes a Terrorist?
	And he has, in this book, five myths about terrorism...
	Oh, God, this picture in his wiki page, he looks like he's criminally insane.
	You have to look at this picture.
	Well, I've seen it, obviously.
	So here it is, number four.
	Terrorism is mainly perpetrated by Muslims.
	Wrong, says Alan B. Kruger.
	No religion has a monopoly on terrorism.
	Every major religious faith has had followers involved in terrorism.
	Sri Lanka, Francis.
	You can't go back far enough.
	The Rosicrucians had terrorists.
	After all, he says, it was not long ago that homegrown villains, homegrown villains, homegrown...
	Hello, Wolf villains!
	Timothy McVeigh and the so-called Unabomber were the most notorious terrorists.
	That makes sense.
	The vast majority of terrorist incidents are local, motivated by local concerns, and carried out by natives.
	Even international terrorist events tend to be local affairs, most frequently carried out by local militants who target foreigners who happen to be in their country.
	And you will read in this book, which I, of course, have read for you, and you can actually read through a lot of it on Google Books, Um...
	Many popular ideas about terrorists and why they seek to harm us are fueled by falsehoods and misinformation.
	Leading politicians and scholars have argued that poverty and lack of education breed terrorism, despite the wealth of evidence showing that most terrorists come from middle class and often college educated backgrounds.
	In What Makes a Terrorist, Alan Kruger argues that if we are to correctly address the root causes of terrorism and successfully address the threat, we must think more like economists do.
	This guy, he wrote the book on the lone wolf, white male, middle-aged terrorist!
	He wrote the book on it!
	Yeah, I guess so.
	And he is now the economic advisor for the president.
	I don't know.
	To me, it's just astounding.
	Astounding.
	I mean, it's so blatant now.
	Can we just go after everybody?
	Yeah, just shut down the country, make every American citizen a criminal, or treat them like one, and pat them down, x-ray them, and let them go.
	Pat them down, x-ray them, let them go.
	Pat them down, x-ray them.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fap.
	I'll know what you've done.
	Like I said earlier, we don't have a lot of donations for some reason.
	I guess the Sunday show wasn't very good.
	Keith Edwards, Gilbert, Arizona, gave us $111.11, as did Taylor Stewart, Sir Taylor Stewart, actually, from Calabasas, who says, it's been said before and it's worth saying again, karma works.
	My wife and I got some karma for house hunting.
	We found our dream property later that week in the woods outside of Flagstaff, Arizona, for 35% of what it sold for in 2006.
	Good deal.
	Yeah.
	And there's a lot of good deals to be had in Arizona.
	But now we need more karma, brother, to help finalize our escape from behind the Iron Curtain of Mother California.
	That's going to be tougher.
	Hold on.
	I need some of that myself.
	Here we go.
	You've got karma.
	Good luck on that.
	Good luck.
	But anyway, we've been living in a hotel with two 70-pound puppies.
	Stop feeding them in a 10-week-old kitten for a week because the Bank of America, whom we are buying the home from, lost the paperwork and didn't register the deed when they foreclosed.
	Oh, no.
	They didn't notice until our deal was ready to close two weeks ago.
	This is the Bank of America, by the way.
	They are the worst corporation in the world.
	I hope they go broke.
	Didn't the Chinese, the Chinas, just buy half of them?
	No, Buffett bought a bunch of them.
	No, but after that I thought some China bank.
	I never heard that.
	To top it off, the movers are showing up with our stuff today and we don't have a house to put it in.
	Please send some karma our way.
	Well, you just got it.
	Get this mess straightened out and please call it the Bank of America.
	It's the douchebags.
	They are over this and for everyone they've screwed over.
	They're just grabbing property.
	The whole thing.
	Where's our government?
	They're supposed to be doing something.
	Our great government.
	Here we go.
	It's the douche bank of America.
	Douchebag!
	Eric Brown, Felton, California, $100.
	Paleo Besa in Santiago.
	I'm not sure.
	Where's RM, you think?
	Oh, Chile.
	Chile.
	It brings some Gitmo Nation minor distraction.
	This donation is for dedouching for me, Paleo Besa, a douchebag call-out from my brother Pablo.
	So dedouche him.
	Okay, let me dedouche him first.
	Here we go.
	You've been dedouched.
	You are clean, my friend.
	The vaginal irrigation sack is gone.
	And then Pablo gets a douchebag call-out.
	Douchebag!
	And we'll give him a birthday thing later.
	Anyway, he has a new child, August 30th, only 10 more kids to go before a knighthood.
	He wants some karma for his kids, so let me hand that out as well.
	You've got karma.
	Pelayo Felipe.
	5533 from Sir Michael Miller and Tiburon for my SIP from the NAPU producers in APU. You know, the No Agenda PBX system is set up.
	They've been beta testing.
	I don't know if they're going to do a show after today's program or not.
	Someone in the chat room will tell me.
	This is actually pretty good, John.
	So every No Agenda producer can get an extension.
	So we basically have our own PBX. You get an extension.
	You can do conference calls.
	You'll be able to break in on the air live.
	You can leave reports.
	I mean, it's really quite sophisticated.
	The Rev is in charge of that and a lot of other people working on that system.
	I'll look forward to it.
	It sounds cool.
	Also, Double Nickels on the Dime from Christopher Advent in Winnipeg.
	Keep up the good work on the show, guys.
	Enjoy my donation to 5528 Canadian or 5510 American.
	I thought I'd donate again.
	This is ridiculous.
	The Canadians have beaten us by 18 cents.
	I thought I'd donate again today.
	September 1st is my birthday and I could use some karma to find a job after I'm finished law school next spring.
	Yeah, here we go.
	For your law school, good luck with that.
	You've got karma.
	And he, she, or he, he, Christopher, is the founder of RickPerryIsAnIdiot.com.
	Good work.
	Robert Wood, also double nickels on a dime from Keller, Texas, tell the banksters at Chase to go plank themselves.
	Plank.
	Chase and bank being another bunch of douchebags.
	Douchebags, yeah.
	Mitchell Featherston, Marietta, Georgia, 5133.
	Please mention my website, thepublicdomain.net.
	I wonder what that is.
	I don't know.
	Check it out while I read off Aaron Huber in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
	$50.
	Long-time listener, long-time douchebag.
	It's time for a change.
	I need some karma for my business.
	KYC Israel at kycisreal.com.
	I'm sure a plug won't hurt.
	Give it the great work.
	Thanks.
	Let me just hand out the card.
	He's in Israel, actually.
	You've got karma.
	So he's running a KYC, probably a KYC, I don't know what that would be, but he's in Tikva, Israel.
	Anastasia Perov in Toronto, $50 needs some karma, and...
	You've got karma.
	And...
	Fine.
	We have also Greg Brunsell in Kenosha, Wisconsin, 50.
	Robert Durden, 50.
	And finally, Kenny Nguyen, I think.
	Nguyen.
	Nguyen.
	It's a Vietnamese name.
	I've seen Kenny on the list before.
	Nguyen, I think.
	Nguyen?
	I think it's Nguyen.
	All right.
	Could be wrong.
	All right.
	San Leandro, California needs some good luck karma tossed down my way.
	I'm a $5 a month donor sponsor.
	I'm based in Saigon, as there already is, not San Leandro.
	I'm trying to get the love of my life back.
	I lost her because of the things I've done.
	I hope they have a chance to get her back.
	Thanks, Kenny.
	Give him a karma and maybe he'll get karma for you.
	You've got karma.
	And that's it for today's show number two, whatever it is.
	Thanks.
	Yeah.
	Hello, 2011 calling, John.
	She's 3.37.
	3.35.
	And we want to remind people to go to NoAgendaShow.com, NoGendaNation.com.
	You can also buy some mugs there, I would recommend.
	Hey, you can put your batteries in there.
	And you can donate there, and we appreciate it.
	All the people donate even the smaller amounts.
	Eric was very sweet.
	Because I lost my gold coin and my challenge coin from Iraq and my original No Agenda challenge coin.
	So he sent me a couple of challenge coins.
	A 333 coin actually looked pretty nice.
	The one that he made up.
	The black one?
	Yeah, it's got a lot of enamel on it.
	Yeah, I think I used to make stuff like that.
	Remember back in the day you had an enamel kit?
	Did you ever do that?
	No, I never did, but I've always wanted to.
	Did you ever do tin soldiers?
	No.
	I used to do this.
	I had a chemistry set.
	I had that too, but the tin soldiers I liked the most because you got to melt this tin and pour it into a mold.
	Yeah, I remember that.
	Now they won't allow any of these things to be handled by kids.
	Oh, you can't melt lead.
	Oh, you know, it's dangerous.
	Oh, you can't have a chemistry set.
	It's dangerous.
	You can burn yourself.
	Oh, yeah, let's not have any of that.
	So we have a bunch of unemployed kids.
	So unlike the BBC who create complete drama and don't show you the pictures of the drones killing brown people in the sand, we actually try to uncover some of the stuff for you so that you are a little bit more educated and so that when you look at the news, you can chuckle.
	And I think that is surely worth a donation to support this program.
	As you've noticed, we have no commercial interruptions.
	That's because we exist and we pay our bills completely from your financial gifts.
	So we highly...
	And by the way, they're not really gifts because we've got to pay taxes over them.
	But we highly appreciate that.
	And to program your brain...
	Dvorak.org Slash N A Short list, but always happy to say happy birthday to our producers out there.
	Vernon White is...
	Congratulating himself, which I think is illegal in 25 states.
	Pelayo Besa says happy birthday to Pelayo Felipe, born on August 30th, a brand new human resource.
	Not an American one.
	I wonder if he's worth more in pesos or whatever they use over there.
	And Christopher Advent celebrates his birthday today on September 1st.
	Happy birthday from myself, from John, and the entire staff and management here at the No Agenda Show.
	Yes, yes.
	We're such a huge organization.
	John, second half of the show.
	Two cans and a string.
	Second half of the show.
	I've been waiting for this, my friend.
	What are you waiting for?
	Well, I've been waiting to talk about this.
	I have held off on this for weeks.
	Nay, months.
	Months I've been holding off on this because I just wasn't ready.
	You know how you ridicule me.
	I don't.
	Yeah, you do.
	That's all right.
	What sound effect device should I get out?
	Your slide whistle.
	Comet Elenin.
	So, this is...
	Well, I'll play a little clip, and there's been a lot of discussion about Comet Elenin coming October 16th to a theater near you.
	And I've been kind of avoiding this until I got...
	Comet Elina?
	Elenin.
	E-L-E-N-I-N. A Russian comet.
	Well, this is discovered by Leonid Elinin, a Russian, actually an amateur stargazer, who found this comet.
	And what people are saying out there is that we're all going to die because of this comet.
	And they've put a date on it, October 16th.
	So I'm going to play two clips for you, and then I'll explain why I'm bringing it up now and why I think there is maybe a little bit of concern, at least for something.
	This is Brooks Agnew.
	He's a writer.
	I think this is probably from Russia today.
	He'll just give you a little background on Comet Elenin and why it's somewhat disturbing.
	Well, that's a really good question.
	A lot of people are concerned about it.
	We've done a lot of research on Comet Elenin.
	And what we found is that there's a lot of missing data on this comet.
	NASA claims that it's a harmless little fuzzball of ice.
	Won't come any closer than 22 million miles to Earth.
	Others are saying...
	Are you like, do you have that thing in your face and you're just breathing and it goes off?
	Is that how it works?
	That they're getting pictures of it.
	It doesn't look like a comet.
	It doesn't act like a comet.
	It's coming in from an area that comets don't normally originate from.
	We have sort of a maelstrom in our galaxy where comets originate.
	And this one's not coming from that neighborhood.
	So there are a lot of things about this comet that don't make sense.
	Couple that with the arrival of a very large asteroid along around the same time coming in from a different angle.
	And the launch of the new emergency alert system on the same day of the arrival of that asteroid.
	And you have some very strange coincidences that it seems the officials are not being upfront about.
	So what incidents?
	I think not!
	So this has been going on for a while.
	And I've learned now, you know, particularly when NASA says, it's just a little fuzzball.
	That's when I got, hmm, okay, hold on a second.
	Someone's denying something.
	I always got to pay attention to that.
	And I've been kind of letting it go because, you know, what do I know?
	I'm not an astronomer, and usually when there's a date, you know, it's like, oh, the rapture is coming.
	You know, it passes by, and then it's like, well, you know, the rapture will come next time.
	But there's one of our very loyal No Agenda producers out there who I've been in contact with for many years.
	He sent me a note.
	His mother lives up in Alaska.
	And her neighbor is a Fed.
	And there's a lot of stuff going on up in Alaska.
	Particularly now that everyone's trying to grab the waters up there.
	The Russians are trying to claim it's there.
	Everyone wants the Alaska oil and now that the ice is melted and the ships can go through.
	There's a lot of stuff.
	And this guy all of a sudden starts packing up his house and he's leaving for Colorado.
	And, and so this producer starts to figure it out and he says, he asked his mom, so it is second hand, third hand, he asked his mom to ask him, are you leaving because of Comet Elenin or Elenin or whatever, however you pronounce it.
	And the guy says, yes, because they were actually off by a month and something's happening in September, not in October.
	And so he's hightailing it out of there.
	He's packed up his stuff.
	He's moving to Colorado.
	And so I'm like, okay.
	I mean, I do trust our producer and I would presume that this information, maybe this guy is being fooled, but that sounds pretty realistic.
	And then I start looking around and I find a message, a video message from the director of NASA, Charles Bolden.
	And he sent this message out in June of this year to all of the employees of NASA. And there's some very interesting things he's saying in this that I'd just like to comment on.
	They've given me a few minutes just to talk to all of you in our NASA family about emergency preparedness.
	NASA recently participated in a FEMA exercise called Eagle Horizon that was a part of a continuity of operations in government.
	I always love it when there's an exercise and they're going to test some emergency system, it's always kind of creepy because when these tests go on, something often happens.
	Exercise.
	That we do annually.
	And I became aware of some things that concern me about our family preparedness, and I wanted to talk to you very briefly.
	You know, we at NASA, we're an incredibly unique organization.
	We're the only agency in the federal government that's responsible for the safety and well-being of people not only here on Earth, but off this planet.
	What people is he referring to that are off this planet, John?
	The people in the space station.
	How about the moon bases, man?
	Oh yeah, the moon bases.
	That's a possibility.
	He could have just said, and the astronauts in the International Space Station.
	Instead, it's like, people off this planet.
	So, my experience in the astronaut office, my experience as an active duty Marine, always talked about the importance of family preparedness and to make sure that we had a viable family support program.
	And I have concerns that ours right now is not as good as it ought to be.
	So, what I'm asking all of you in the NASA family, whether you're out on the West Coast, here on the East Coast, along the Gulf Coast.
	Notice he's only talking about the coasts.
	It's only the coasts.
	Anywhere there's water.
	Up on the, you know, the Great Lakes.
	Think about the natural disasters that could occur in your area.
	Think about attacks that could come like 9-11 from outside forces.
	Okay, my brain hurts.
	Think about the attacks like 9-11 from outside forces.
	From the people from other worlds?
	Off planet?
	What are you talking about, dude?
	And talk to your family about your work and what they need to do to prepare for the unforeseen.
	Develop a family preparedness plan in your house.
	Have an emergency supply kit available.
	Most people who live along the Gulf Coast always have an emergency kit for hurricanes.
	I'm not sure whether people out on the West Coast think about earthquakes and the like.
	But have an emergency supply kit at your home.
	Think about a family communications plan.
	By the way, family communications plan.
	I'd like you to do something for me, John.
	Could you please buy me a ham rig?
	I mean, I know I'm not licensed and anything.
	Just buy me a rig.
	Send it to me.
	I mean, I'm sure I can operate it.
	Just when the caca hits the fan, I just want to have one.
	Yeah, you should.
	Everyone should.
	That's why I think people should get their ham license.
	Yeah, screw the license.
	Will you please just buy me one?
	I won't use it unless I need to.
	Could you just send me something?
	Well, I'm not going to agree to that in public.
	Where are we going to meet if an emergency occurs and we're all over town?
	What are we going to do?
	Are we going to call each other on the cell phone?
	No, no.
	Ham radio.
	If you have pets...
	Cell phones won't work.
	If you have pets...
	Think about a pet preparedness plan.
	Why is the NASA guy worried about pets?
	Why?
	Because you got to keep the animals alive so you can eat them later.
	How are you going to make sure that they're taken care of when you're spread all over the place?
	So you can eat them.
	And then if you have family members who have special needs, special needs preparedness.
	Okay, I've had enough of this idiot.
	So, by the way, I've got a plan if there's an earthquake.
	Get in your car and drive to Sacramento.
	Well, this is not about earthquakes.
	I mean, this is about...
	Yeah, I know, but I mean, it's the whole thing, you know, having all this food and stuff.
	I've always said the best, your absolute best way to protect yourself from starvation, and you can do this, you know, there's a number of sources of mailing lists, and you want to rent the mailing list of all the Mormons.
	And then you'll have a list of everyone you know has one of your supply of food in their basement.
	Right.
	And you just go over there and sponge off them.
	So I'm thinking we need to get out of California.
	Yeah.
	Well, you need to get out of California for sure, and I've been trying to get out.
	Really?
	So that's not a problem.
	You know what?
	I was talking to Sean, the guy who cuts my hair, because I had a mane that we wouldn't quit.
	I had to get my hair cut.
	And this guy, by the way, is doing okay.
	He's putting his house up for sale.
	He wants to get out of L.A. And I think his house is like...
	I think he bought it for maybe a million dollars and now he's putting it up for six million dollars.
	I'm like, shit, good luck with that.
	But he just took it off the market because he found out that apparently the state of California, on top of the federal capital gains, has capital gains themselves.
	Is that...
	Do you know about this?
	Is that possible?
	No, I don't know about that, but it wouldn't surprise me.
	He says that if he sells his house, he would have to pay 25% capital gains tax on his house.
	And then he went, and he's an Iranian, and he went nuts.
	He's like, well, I'm headed up to here.
	Like, I just give some money for what?
	For what?
	So they can go shoot people, drop bombs on them.
	I'm like, no, no, let me correct you.
	Drop bombs on brown people.
	It's not just any people.
	We only drop bombs on brown people.
	But this state of California is effed.
	It's really effed.
	It's not okay.
	Anyway, I digress.
	So what's your point?
	My point is I'm keeping an eye on Elenin.
	That's my point.
	It reminds me of the Nibiru collision that was supposed to take place in...
	It's Nibiru.
	Whatever.
	That was supposed to take place in 95.
	I'll put money with anybody who wants to bet $1,000 that we don't get hit by a comet.
	I don't have $1,000 to bet.
	You apparently do.
	I do.
	I have $1,000.
	I always keep $1,000 for any comet bet.
	It's your comet stash.
	Well, I don't know.
	They're saying that not the comet that it'll hit, but because of the tail that it'll cause so much cosmic interference.
	Yeah, sure.
	They did the same thing with Halley's.
	I mean, every comet that comes by, somebody comes up with some crackpot bullcrap.
	Well, I guess it's my turn to propagate the message then.
	I thought there'd be a movie coming out.
	No, that's another reason for concern is there's no movie.
	Yeah, well, I think we just aren't looking deep enough.
	There probably is a movie.
	Okay.
	Hey, Al Sharpen's on crack.
	Hey, by the way, he's on crack?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I got proof.
	Here he is on his...
	He's moved up now.
	Doesn't he have, like, a special show now?
	They gave him a show, a complete show with a name to it.
	And, you know, we have played the other clip of his wonderful prompter reading, which I would love for you.
	I was going to send you a note saying, take that clip up, I want to hear it again.
	I have a new one.
	Another one?
	A new Al Sharpton prompter mess-up, proving that he's on crack.
	Here we go.
	Take Tennessee Congressman Steve Fincher.
	I'm Stephen Fincher, and I approve this message because my roots run deep in Tennessee, not politics.
	But Fincher's roots seem to be thriving in Washington.
	He introduced a bill to fast-track approval for genetically modified crap, crops.
	And Fincher's got...
	I just love genetically modified crack.
	Hey, wishful thinking.
	Genetically modified crack?
	This guy's a disaster.
	Let's hear that again.
	Crops.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	Let me roll it back a second.
	That's too funny.
	I can't get enough of this clip.
	Fast track approval for genetically modified crack.
	You know that...
	Why does this come out of his mind?
	Because he's thinking crack.
	He's like, I can't wait till this show is over so I can have me some crack.
	Genetically modified crack.
	I mean, crops.
	You know the guy's thinking about crack.
	Well, he had to be.
	I can't imagine.
	If I was looking at a prompt, I wouldn't get...
	I'd see the word crops.
	It wouldn't crack.
	Crack wouldn't come to mind.
	Genetically.
	But it's better.
	It's genetically modified.
	It's the best guy.
	He seemed to be thriving in Washington.
	He introduced a bill to fast-track approval for genetically modified crap.
	I love it.
	The guy's awesome.
	So you have the old clip, that other one, where he says much, must, much?
	Yeah, I can probably find it for you.
	I think that thing's just a gem.
	Let me see.
	Meanwhile, they give him this full-time gig, and it's like...
	The guy's a mush mouth.
	You can barely understand a word he's saying.
	And he's just the same old knee-jerk Democrat on MSNBC. I don't see where that network is.
	Who's running that thing?
	So I did something new this week.
	I set up search.nashownotes.com.
	Which is pretty...
	So if I just do Sharpton, let's see if this thing works.
	This will actually prove that we did something good here.
	Yeah, and first hit!
	First hit!
	Wow.
	329, SharptonTeleprompter.mp3.
	This is...
	Hey, this thing is pretty good, man.
	Yeah, but that means we have to change the way we name our clips because you have to put the person's name on the clip.
	Well, no, I always name it...
	Well, come on.
	I mean, Sharpton Teleprompter is the name of the clip.
	Yeah, I know, but I don't do that.
	Yeah, but I rename your clips, John, in case you didn't notice.
	Thanks for looking at the show notes, my friend.
	I've already heard the clips.
	I don't go looking for my clips.
	Here we go.
	Tonight is the measure of whether the country begins in the state of Wisconsin, a national drive to push back, or whether we have more to go to build a movement of resistance.
	But resist, we must.
	We must, and we will much about that be committed.
	Yeah.
	Hey, good work, MSNBC. The guy's a genius.
	This is the guy you've got to hire.
	He's awesome.
	You've got to hire him.
	You've got to hire him.
	That's fantastic.
	There was one more thing that I got emailed a lot as an airman.
	I kind of expected it.
	I'm sure you saw this note that came out.
	Automation in the air dulls pilot skills.
	Did you see this?
	I'm sure someone emailed this.
	No, I never got it.
	Okay.
	So this is a draft study, which means it's a PR plant because the study has not been published.
	Associated Press reports, pilots' automation addiction has eroded their flying skills to the point that they sometimes don't know how to recover from stalls and other mid-flight problems, say pilots and safety officials.
	The weakened skills have contributed to hundreds of deaths in the airline crashes in the last five years.
	And then we have a quote.
	Could someone answer the fucking phone?
	What kind of a quote is that?
	Sorry, that's not what he said.
	I apologize.
	There's a phone ring in here.
	You couldn't hear it.
	Quote, we're seeing a new breed of...
	You're like Shelley Berman on the DuPont special.
	Whatever.
	Whatever.
	We're seeing a new breed of accident with these state-of-the-art planes, said Rory Kay, an airline captain and co-chair of a Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Committee on Pilot Training.
	Quote, we're forgetting how to fly, unquote.
	Now, I have to respond to this because, of course, there's an agenda behind it.
	Remember, this is a draft study, which means the Associated Press was given something to see as a part of a PR effort, and it was not a published study.
	This is an insult to ATPL pilots, air traffic pilots who are licensed to fly big planes.
	This is total and utter bull crap.
	In fact, the automation, and I'm not talking about the messed up Airbus plastic airplane stuff to fly by wire, that I'm against, but flying on autopilot, GPS, all of these things, it's a part of what you train for.
	And it is total bull crap for this guy, Rory K, to come out and say, oh, they're forgetting how to fly.
	Anyone who flies is outraged by this guy's comments.
	And for a captain to say this, I'm just like, this blew me away.
	So I'm like, why is this guy saying it?
	Well, the answer comes to us in another news report.
	As the Pentagon and the Federal Aviation Administration announced they are carving out between 4 to 10 bubbles in civilian airspace above the United States to test unmanned aerial vehicles.
	And this is for the Department of Defense.
	This is so the drones, we know that drones, it's really the drones crash into things.
	And, if you go back to Rory K, who was a Brit, by the way, and I'll play a clip from him from 2005, this is all about...
	The next-gen system, which all pilots are against.
	They want to have total control over the airspace so their precious drones don't get in the way of commercial aviation.
	And you can hear this Rory K, Brit shill dickwad.
	2005, he's already shilling for the unmanned drones in this.
	And by the way, he thanks the sponsor for this event.
	This is from C-SPAN. Good morning, everybody.
	Thank you.
	I trust you had a nice evening last night, and we certainly thank EVIS for their generous sponsorship of last night's hospitality suite.
	Today is a very busy schedule and a very interesting one.
	We have three tech panels, and we're also going to have a detailed and gripping presentation on United Airlines Flight 232, a situation for which there was no training other than effective cockpit resource management.
	That will be after lunch.
	In the meantime, we're going to get on with our first presentation.
	Pilot safety volunteers, along with FAA representatives, will now discuss current challenges facing our air traffic control system today and what solutions the future may hold.
	Now, coming to a flight level or altitude near you, unmanned aircraft and microjets.
	How will we deal with them and what impact may they have on flight safety and the way we do business?
	Crowd control.
	Managing congestion in our airspace.
	Moderator Captain Larry Newman.
	So this guy has been a paid shill.
	And this, by the way, is a multi-multi-billion dollar change that they're trying to push through just to get the drones set up.
	And if you look at this AP article right there, it's talking about the FAA is moving from an air traffic control system based on radar technology to more precise navigation.
	Instead of time-consuming, fuel-burning stair-step descents, planes will be able to glide in more steeply for landings with their engines idling.
	Aircraft will be able to land and take off closer together and more frequently, even in poor weather, because pilots will know the precise location of other aircraft, but the new landing procedures require pilots to cede even more control to automation.
	So these guys are trying, they're saying pilots don't know how to fly, but what they're actually selling is a next generation system where you don't need the pilot at all.
	In fact, I predict in our lifetime, John, we will get on an airplane that has no pilot at all.
	Yeah, I would agree with that, and I think the first step, though, you'll see, which will be a big fuss over this, and you've seen this.
	They have gone from the four people in the cabin, you know, with the navigator and the co-pilot and the pilot, and I think there used to be a radio guy, and then they went down to three, and then it was a big stink to go down to two guys, and now all the...
	Planes are designed for two pilots, and the next step would be to go to one pilot and an automated system that the pilot's just there to make sure the thing works.
	He doesn't really fly anything.
	He knows how to fly, but he doesn't fly.
	And then you'll be at the fully automated plane, which is they do that right now with the Airtran in...
	And most of the little shuttles, the AirTran subway, it's like a subway that's elevated from JFK to Jamaica Station.
	It's got nobody in there.
	You're just in a box by yourself and the thing goes running down the track.
	Well, let me tell you, the day that they take the pilots off of planes is the day I stop flying.
	And this is, it's just a Raytheon DynCorp, big military industrial complex push to get drones in the sky, have it all controlled by the military, all of it.
	And I'm flabbergasted that pilots aren't up in arms and they aren't lynching this guy.
	Tar and feather this prick.
	Send him back to Gitmo Nation East.
	This guy is in charge.
	You know, I'm a little sick and tired, and I'm just going to play really douchebag American here for a second.
	I actually found myself watching douchebag Pierce Morgan and douchebagette Ariana Huffington, two foreigners, talking about how messed up America is.
	I'm like, get out.
	Both of you.
	Get out.
	Get out.
	Does Pierce Morgan have a green card?
	I don't know.
	I want to see his green card.
	Yeah, I know.
	These guys, they're very judgmental.
	They hate the Constitution.
	We've seen that.
	That's a theme for our show for the next few years.
	Farid Zakaria.
	People like Farid Zakaria promoting parliamentary systems, which are the worst compared to our system, the perfect federalist system.
	And the fact that, you know, we can't get anything done, which is, I don't know if people like myself who have worked for the government know that often not getting anything done is what you want.
	Yeah, that's why it's set up that way.
	And, I don't know.
	I mean, it's ridiculous.
	On lighter news...
	Yay!
	Do we have some real news or what you got?
	I got the Oprah doomed announcement.
	It has real news.
	Alright, let's hit that.
	I love that.
	And now, back to real news.
	Impact segment tonight, the new Oprah Winfrey Cable Network is not doing well.
	Reports are the OWN Network has spent about $150 million this year alone and has not succeeded in producing a hit program.
	No Rizzoli and Isles, no Jersey Shore, no O'Reilly Factor.
	So, Ms.
	Winfrey is turning to Rosie O'Donnell to try to generate some success.
	So that should be good for a fiasco.
	You know, I think that Anderson Pooper's new show, which starts, I think, end of this month, I think that's going to be a hit.
	Is he going to be on the own network?
	No, no, it's syndication, but he's going to have a talk show.
	I think he'll be really good at that.
	He can be the new Oprah.
	No, no, it'll be good.
	It'll be good.
	Okay, here we go.
	Prediction book.
	I say Pooper is not going to do it.
	I say Pooper will be a hit.
	The gay talk show hosts always score.
	Ellen, that's why Oprah's bringing in Rosie.
	It always scores.
	I have an Oprah clip as well, coincidentally.
	Hit it.
	When was the last time you spoke to him?
	This is Oprah with Lisa Marie Presley.
	Who used to be married to Michael Jackson?
	Conversation was in 2005.
	I was very distanced, and he was checking to get a read.
	You know, he was trying to throw a line out to see if I would bite emotionally, and I wouldn't.
	I was pretty shut off at that point.
	And I don't even know how I managed to be like that, but I was.
	And he was asking me, he wanted to tell me that I was right about a lot of the people around him, and that it had panned out to be Exactly what he and I had talked about years ago and he asked if I still loved him and we went into a whole thing about that and I told him I was indifferent and he didn't like that word and he cried and he was just trying to find out where I was at and how I could become so detached and then the final part of the conversation was him telling
	me that he felt that someone was going to try and kill him to get a hold of his catalogue and his estate.
	And I really didn't know what to do with that.
	So he actually gave you names?
	He did, and I would like not to say them, but he expressed to me his concern over his life.
	Lisa Marie Presley, not long for this world.
	Well, she's already said this.
	Well, maybe.
	Yeah, because she's not naming names.
	She should have named the names.
	Well, I hope she wrote them down somewhere.
	You were the first person in the major media to actually bring up the possibility of this.
	Do you have that old clip?
	No, you know, I never was able to find it.
	I had kept the clip on...
	It's on one of the shows.
	Yeah, I don't know where it is, but I actually played the clip where I was on MSNBC And this was when they were all getting ready for the big ceremony at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.
	And, you know, they asked me about, you know, blah, blah.
	Was it Michael Jackson to work with?
	And I said, you know, by the way, how come no one has ever brought up the murder angle on this?
	And they hung up on me.
	They just slammed the door on you.
	It was hilarious.
	Yeah.
	They hung up on me.
	And you've never been called back.
	You'll never get invited.
	You are now blacklisted.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You think that's the only thing that got me blacklisted?
	I don't know.
	Well, there's a few other things.
	I don't think so.
	I got a couple of clips that are kind of just mildly amusing because you brought up the sales figures for the Chevrolet Volt.
	The other day.
	Yeah, like 250?
	Is that their...
	So I want to play two clips.
	One is the green economy clip, which leads into another Buffett scam clip.
	All right, thank you so much, David Lee Miller in Patterson, New Jersey, with a raging torrent behind him.
	Well, the Obama administration is once again calling for more investment in the so-called green economy.
	Okay.
	Okay, so there's a green economy, but I don't know why he doesn't get off this crap, because the Silicon Valley guys have lost their ass.
	Yeah, and we lost $535 million on that stupid company that he was so proud of.
	Right, exactly.
	So now play another Buffett scam so we can see that a lot of people are in on this, and I just wonder what Buffett's up to with his thinking.
	Well, the Obama administration is once again calling for more investment in the so-called green economy.
	Vice President Biden this week calling for a new clean energy policy for the United States.
	But there's at least one high-profile example of a green economy that is not working.
	China has pumped more money into the development of green cars than any other nation.
	And so far, it hasn't really paid off.
	So what does that tell us about the future of the green economy in America?
	Joining me now is Gordon Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China.
	Gordon, let's be honest here.
	I mean, we all remember the images of Beijing with the smog.
	The Chinese government, they aren't interested in a green economy, are they?
	No.
	You know, China has the worst environment ever.
	Sixteen of the twentieth, dirtiest cities in the world are located in the People's Republic.
	And it just gets worse and worse and worse.
	So why are they subsidizing, then, the purchasing of these green vehicles?
	My guess is that this is all about exports.
	They want to dominate the global economy for cars, and green cars are a part of it.
	So really what they want to do is this is export surpluses that they're talking about, not clean air.
	Well, they have no...
	Obviously, you know, it's a limited free market, so you have to take all their sales figures, if you will, with a grain of salt.
	But there's no demand in China for green vehicles, is there?
	No.
	You know, remember a couple years ago, Fortune magazine had that cover of Warren Buffett in a car and said, Buffett has not only seen the future car, he's sitting in the driver's seat.
	Well, that car was an E6, a Chinese electric car.
	Well, since March of 2010, last year, Buffett's company has sold 53 of those cars.
	And almost all of those sales were to an affiliated company.
	You know...
	Here's a prediction for you.
	In 20 years from now, there will be jokes about the Prius the way we joke about the Pacer today.
	We're like, hey, remember all those idiots driving in those battery cars?
	Remember that?
	Stupid.
	The Pacer.
	We had a Pacer.
	I'm sure you did.
	The Pacer was an interesting car.
	It was one of the most advanced cars you can imagine.
	For one thing, it was a domed car.
	So basically, you were in a dome, and you had the best visibility.
	For those who don't know, it is the car used in Wayne's world when Wayne and Garth are doing their, when they're driving and they're doing their clean ripoff.
	It is one of the stupidest looking cars ever, but it had some charm to it.
	So it had this big dome top, so you could look all, you could get great visibility.
	And it had, when you open the door, the driver's seat swung out.
	Oh, I remember that.
	It would turn left, right?
	Yeah, that was cool.
	Yeah, so you could just jump right out of your seat.
	And it had other kinds of little features like that.
	It was just hilarious.
	Now, did you pay for it, or was that some shill thing you were in on?
	No, we got it.
	It was somebody was dumping.
	Somebody has used.
	We got a used one.
	Because somebody had to get out of town or something.
	We got it for damn near nothing.
	And I couldn't resist, because it was just so funny to drive it around.
	And it was kind of actually a pretty nice car to have, even though it looked so weird and dorky.
	There's a picture that was sent to me of you up in Walla Walla this past weekend.
	Oh, yeah.
	Tonight, Sir Birch was...
	Sir Birch.
	And he had a picture of you in his...
	Mini.
	A Brewster Green Mini, I think it is.
	Is it green or black?
	No, it's a British Racing Green.
	Yeah, Brewster Green, which is the British Racing Green.
	And you've got a shit-eating grin on your face that is beyond belief.
	It is so funny.
	So anyway, so yeah, I want to also thank Sir Birch.
	He gave me a, apparently the dentists are getting these samples of the latest and greatest electric toothbrushes from Philips, Sonicare.
	And this thing's got lights on it.
	I have that.
	I use that.
	No, this is the one that's got a bunch of different...
	It says stuff like whitening and cleaning.
	It's got a bunch of wordage and it's powered by USB. Does it have a happy ending?
	It has a USB attachment so you can power it from your computer.
	Really?
	That's actually quite cool, because the biggest problem with the electric toothbrush is you take it with you on a trip, and you don't want to carry along another charger.
	This is cool.
	I'd like to have one of those.
	Not that I'm asking for one.
	He gave me the sample, so you can't get one now.
	That's cool.
	I got a couple of clips I want to get out of the way.
	Unfortunately, I've been sitting on them for a while, so I can't distinguish one from the other.
	They're the chart-off clips, and I've got chart-off is full of crap, and chart-off is full of shit, so now I'm confused.
	Whether he's full of, well, I should play crap first, but it has a one on it.
	So why don't we play Chardoff is full of crap, and then I want to deconstruct what he has to say.
	He's at the Aspen Institute pontificating about security and a need for more, to spend more money on his junk.
	Yeah, we just have to say that Michael Chardoff was the second, I think, director of Homeland Security.
	He left to start the Chardoff Group and has been selling stuff back to his own department before.
	Without any shame whatsoever, and everyone's just like sitting by and enjoying it.
	...heir to bin Laden.
	My own view is he's a transitional figure.
	You've got a younger generation of folks.
	You've got Al-Awlaki, you've got Shukra Juma.
	These are two guys who are...
	Tell us a little bit about them.
	Al-Awlaki is the radical preacher.
	Both lived a long time in the United States.
	Al-Awlaki's an American citizen.
	Shukra Juma, I think, is...
	Lived in the U.S. for about a dozen years.
	A trained pilot.
	He's been on the wanted list forever.
	And these are younger folks.
	They're operational.
	And they understand the United States and the West.
	And maybe most significantly, They're not bound up in repeating the success of 9-11.
	You know, like anybody else, when you have a guy like Bin Laden who's done one thing where he succeeded, there's a little bit of a tendency to want to repeat it again and again.
	And in a way, we've benefited from that.
	You know, they have focused, at least in the U.S., on very high-end attacks, which, for the reasons Phil pointed out, are difficult to execute.
	But now you have a generation that may feel liberated from that.
	And they may decide, you know what, we're going to go for a lot of small attacks.
	We're going to do Mumbai.
	And we're going to do it, you know, five, six, eight, ten times.
	Yeah.
	This is bullcrap.
	First of all, it's a known policy fact that of all the things that the Al-Qaeda, or Qaeda, as the New York Times would have it, do, is not doing the same thing again and again because it's so easy to repeat.
	They...
	They hit the World Trade Center with planes.
	Then they go blow up a bunch of trains in Spain.
	It wasn't done by airplanes.
	There was nothing like it.
	Before that, they did it.
	They blew up an embassy with walk-in and explosives.
	And they've got all these other planes.
	Where's the again and again and again bull crap?
	I mean, this guy is full of, which is what the name of the clip is, full of crap.
	But it gets worse with the full of shit clip.
	And you see it in TSA, but you probably see it with a lot of other agencies in different walks of life that have to deal with a lot of transactions.
	It is the aardvark effect.
	Aardvark.
	One anecdotal case where someone either messes up or the story doesn't seem right, and it's used to argue the system doesn't work.
	So I'm going to give you two, I think, important things to bear in mind when you look at TSA. One is...
	Your conception, or the conception of a lot of people about what a terrorist looks like is wrong.
	The people who have been homegrown in this country, like Colleen LaRose, blonde-haired, blue-eyed from Pennsylvania, Jihad Jane, not this Jane, Daniel Maldonado, who I think came from Long Island, Hispanic, converted to Islam, these people do not look like what you think a terrorist looks like.
	A 92-year-old person?
	What was the age of the man who walked into the Holocaust Museum and started to shoot a gun at people?
	92 years old.
	Children?
	Infants?
	How many infants, how many children, including people mentally impaired, in different parts of the world have had bombs strapped to them and they've been sent out against American troops to be blown up?
	What about the couple that was going to get on an airplane in August 2006 with their one-year-old baby and blow the plane up?
	It would be nice to say that certain parts of the population are out of bounds.
	We can't say that.
	So I think the second point I'd like to make is this.
	I often hear the argument, sometimes made by Jeff, TSA doesn't work because you've never caught a terrorist.
	It's not meant to catch terrorists.
	It's meant to deter for the reasons Phil points out.
	Fort Knox has never caught a bank robber.
	Does that mean Fort Knox is insecure or does it mean that the security deters bank robbers?
	I'm going to bitch slap that guy if I ever see him.
	Now, this began with the guy saying, you know, TSA took a 98-year-old woman aside who crapped her diaper and they had to make her take her clothes off and all this other nonsense.
	And so he comes up and says, well, that's the aardvark effect.
	What the hell, aardvark?
	That is lame.
	So, she says you're generalizing from one or two stories, one or two anecdotes, but isn't it, aren't they the ones that are actually, you know, this is like projection where you have, you know, you do something a certain way and then when you see somebody else do something small.
	Remotely similar.
	You call them on it.
	The fact of the matter is, they're the ones who are generalizing from one or two things.
	We had a shoe bomber.
	Five years later, we had an underwear bomber.
	And before that, we had the 9-11 incidents.
	There's been nothing for 10 or 11 years except these isolated incidents.
	The aardvark effect, whatever that means, takes place.
	And now we have everybody being patted down and x-rayed.
	They're the ones who are doing this.
	They're the ones who are generalizing from a very few episodes of terrorism.
	There is no, it's not like Nazi Germany bombing the crap out of everybody left and right on a daily basis.
	There's no daily basis anything going on.
	This is isolated incidences that are now being used to terrorize the public.
	The government is the terrorist terrorizing us.
	Meanwhile, the 9-11 terrorists, the ones who were responsible, still not brought to justice.
	This letter to the 9-11 families from the Office of Military Commission says there is still no public timetable for the trial of the 9-11 suspects at Guantanamo Bay ten years after the attacks.
	Quote, Although we are not able to give you a more precise answer on when to expect a decision by the convening authority, the body that oversees the military trials, we will continue to provide updates.
	Yeah, we'll give you an update on that.
	It's ten years.
	You know why?
	Because these guys weren't responsible.
	Because you're afraid, the United States government is afraid that what's going to come out is the truth.
	And that this, whatever happened, and I have my own thoughts, which we won't go into, but World Trade Center 7 was weird.
	And these guys didn't crash into it.
	All kinds of stuff going on, and these guys are still sitting in Gitmo, which the president was supposed to close.
	Take it to the bank?
	Yeah.
	First thing I do when I become president is close Gitmo.
	That's what he said.
	First thing he's going to do.
	First thing, and then after that he's going to bring home our troops.
	In 15 months.
	Yeah.
	You can take that to the bank.
	Bullshit!
	Meanwhile, over in Gitmo Nation East, they have convicted a number of these horrible, horrible, horrible rioters.
	Now, of course, when...
	Let me just understand this just to set the stage.
	When you have people using Facebook and the tweeters in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Algeria...
	Then it's called Rebels and they're good and we've got to support them and carpet bomb the government.
	When it happens in Gitmo Nation East in the United Kingdom, please listen to the sentence that these two kids got for posting on Facebook.
	It's right that we should allow the courts to make decisions about sentencing.
	You weren't sitting in the court.
	I wasn't sitting in the court.
	We didn't hear the evidence.
	They decided in that court to send a tough sentence, a tough message, and I think it's very good that courts feel able to do that.
	So a tough message, John.
	Just a very tough message.
	These two gentlemen have been convicted, these two youngsters.
	What is the sentence and what is the crime?
	Let's find out.
	What happened on our streets was absolutely appalling behaviour.
	And to send a very clear message, it's wrong and it won't be tolerated, is what our criminal justice system should be doing.
	The longest sentence is handed down to these two men, responsible for Facebook pages inciting violence.
	Abhorrent though the messages were, they got four years not for taking part in, but for encouraging disorder that never actually happened.
	So they posted on Facebook, go riot, and they got four years in jail for it.
	They're going to get a lot of rioting over that.
	How outrageous is that?
	So they used Facebook to...
	I haven't seen the pages, so I'd like to see what they look like.
	It doesn't matter.
	No, I would still like to see them.
	I don't care whether it matters or not.
	I want to see what they look like because I'll bet you it's not even as onerous as people think.
	It's probably just a couple of people complaining.
	But it still doesn't matter.
	I mean, I don't understand.
	Don't you have freedom of speech?
	Not in England.
	No, apparently not.
	Well, we don't have it here either.
	Well, we're supposed to.
	But can I go on the Facebook and say, go riot?
	I know, I guess I'm a terrorist then, right?
	Isn't that the new rule?
	You'd be a terrorist, yeah, or something.
	Do I have any free speech in that regard?
	No.
	Not when it comes to advocating overthrow of the government.
	No, if I say riot, that's different from overthrow of the government.
	I think you'd have to say it's time for a peaceful protest and just hope a riot breaks out.
	I think that's all you can really get away with.
	That's assuming you want a riot.
	Riots don't tend to work out to the benefit of people in Western societies.
	It tends to be just a good way of getting your head bashed in.
	There was some kid who stole a $3 bottle of water, which in itself is criminal, six months in jail.
	Six months, he stole a bottle of water that was just, like, laying around.
	No, but it's okay for bankers.
	This Bank of America anecdote that was played, I think we had it on the show, where this guy had a...
	He didn't even...
	The Bank of America...
	He had to pay for his house outright.
	But the Bank of America decided to, like, foreclose him.
	Yeah.
	And they didn't even have a deed.
	They were just going to the sheriff and saying, hey, we're going to take this guy's house.
	Screw that guy.
	And if they actually had done it, it would take the guy's years to get his house back.
	And they should throw that guy in jail.
	Those are your criminals.
	So let me give you a couple more things just before we leave here.
	Just to lighten the mood.
	Gitmo Nation Lowlands, the financial minister to Yacher, who I have met and interviewed when he was the...
	The assistant, and he's just a Microsoft IT guy.
	His only job was to shore up the IT infrastructure.
	He's now the Minister of Finance.
	He says there would have to be a license for consumers, that would be you and me, slaves, to do any investments without a financial advisor.
	You need a license.
	And he actually calls it the financial driver's license.
	So you're not allowed to make any...
	Where is this?
	The Netherlands.
	Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
	Yeah.
	He says consumers will have to get a...
	They call it the financial driver's license before they can make any investments without a financial advisor.
	Okay.
	Then we have New Jersey back home.
	Under a new state law in New Jersey, lunch line bullies in East Hanover in school can be reported to the police by their classmates through an anonymous tip to the Crime Stoppers hotline.
	Ooh.
	Hey, man, you cut in line.
	I'm reporting you to the police.
	Unbelievable.
	Tennessee...
	Teresa Tryon said, on August 25th, my 10-year-old daughter arrived home via police officer requesting to speak to me on the front porch of my home.
	The officer informed me that in his judgment, it was unsafe for my daughter to ride her bike to school.
	10 years old.
	Ms.
	Tryon called the mayor's office, the chief of police, called the chief police office in order to determine what law she was breaking by allowing her daughter to ride her bike to school.
	Major Varon of the police department returned her call and said...
	He had spoken with the district attorney's office who advised that until the officer can speak with Child Protective Services, that if I allow my daughter to ride or walk to school, I will be breaking the law and treat it accordingly.
	The law she was breaking, child neglect.
	The child has to take the safe school bus.
	I mean, are we out of our minds?
	Well, see, a 10-year-old I think is in the 4th or 5th grade.
	Come on, man.
	I walked to school when I was six.
	When I was in the second grade, because I lived in a little town that doesn't exist anymore, I would be biking around all over the place.
	Yeah, ten years old.
	Are you kidding me?
	I mean, Mickey used to bike to school for an hour when she was ten in Holland.
	You know, we were over at the Gabers the other day, who were very kind to...
	That's our neighbors.
	Very kind to pick up our mail while we were on the Hot Pockets tour.
	And one of them has kids.
	And his grandson was there, and his grandson was like five weeks old.
	And so I'm talking to his son and his wife, very nice people.
	In fact, I'm pretty sure his son is listening to the show because he's like a total No Agenda fan.
	I'm like, you need to listen to my show, dude.
	Go to rickperrysinidiot.com.
	And so their son was born, and he was basically born not breathing.
	It was very scary, and so they threw him into the incubator, and he was on a respirator, and so he's okay now.
	But while they're in the hospital, and of course they're all confused and everything, you know, because it's like a weird...
	You're kind of confused anyway when you have a kid.
	Child Protective Services started talking to them.
	You know, it's like, well, okay, we just want to talk to you.
	Do you have any guns in the house?
	Okay, yeah.
	Say, have you ever had any urge to, like, hit your wife?
	These are the questions Child Protective Services are asking.
	And so they're like, you know, whatever.
	And then they call up, like a week later after they're home, and they say, Hi, it's so-and-so from Child Protective Services.
	I'll be coming by on Tuesday.
	It's like, what is this?
	What kind of Gitmo Nation are we in?
	Is this normal?
	God, I hope not.
	I mean, has Eric DeShill had any of this with his new kids?
	No, well, you're being in Washington State, it's a little...
	Must be a little better, right?
	It's a little better.
	I mean, you know, you can buy bullets.
	I mean, they sell bullets at the counter, at the checkout counter.
	At the hospital.
	Everywhere.
	At the hospital.
	Hey, here's your kid, and would you like some hollow points with that?
	So they're not asking whether you have guns in the house, and why should they be asking that?
	It's a constitutional right to have a gun in the house.
	So why are they asking in the first place?
	What difference does it make?
	They have quotas.
	I think Child Protective Services has quotas.
	Child Protective Services is a notoriously evil operation in most states.
	I mean, Texas is one of the worst, and you have your Rick Perrys, you know, are part of the problem.
	Absolutely abhorrent.
	This is California, man.
	The People's Republic.
	And we got this crap going on?
	Child Protective Services asking if you have guns or if you've ever had violent outbursts towards your wife?
	And then just saying, we'll drop by on Tuesday?
	Get out of my face!
	That was really outrageous.
	I was shocked.
	I was shocked when I heard that.
	This is because we elect officials who are idiots and we don't care.
	Or we care more about Snooki.
	Jersey Shore.
	Yeah.
	Eh?
	All right, John, I think that just about wraps it up.
	I do want to remind everybody, we came up short this week, and the summer is nearing its end.
	People are getting back to school, getting back to work.
	Welcome back to the show if you've not been listening to it for a couple weeks there while you were off vacationing.
	Just getting by, no doubt.
	We, too, are just getting by, and we do not interrupt this program for commercial messages.
	It is all that we do.
	We have spent another considerable number of days, not weeks, In front of C-SPAN, trying to assassinate the media for you, trying to find out what is really going on, bringing it to you.
	And if you appreciate what we're doing, we'd appreciate your support of the program, since we have no other way of making income except for a couple of columns that John's writing, but he doesn't really share that revenue with me.
	And rightfully so.
	I'll take half the gold of the bar.
	No, that half has already been taken.
	Yes.
	Oh, my goodness.
	So, of course, you can always find us at dvorak.org slash NA. And a couple of short days coming up here.
	Oh, by the way, it's my birthday on Saturday.
	I thought I'd just throw that out there.
	Well, happy birthday.
	Yeah, right.
	It's such a non-event.
	47.
	Yeah, I woke up and I'm 47.
	What the heck happened to me?
	I'm 47, no one knows me anymore, and I'm doing a podcast.
	Podcast is the future.
	Yeah, until you need that license.
	Yeah, yeah, it's probably true.
	I've been predicting that for a while.
	The FCC will be, you know, cussing on this.
	People who cuss on the podcast, which a lot of people like to do, yourself included, will be fined.
	I would like to point out that you cussed more on today's podcast than I did.
	Yeah, but I was reading my cussing.
	Coming to you from Gitmo Nation West in the People's Republic of Southern California, here at the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And here from Northern Silicon Valley, it's garbage day, time to take out the trash.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Sunday for the early morning service, as always, right here on No Agenda.
	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.
	These two men and their producers are forged from red and steel.
