Time Text
Everyone else was watching the Kardashians.
That's what the Americans do.
Yeah, I mean, but...
How was that, by the way?
Was it a good show?
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, September 8th, 2011.
Time to get my nation's media assassination, episode 337.
This is No Agenda.
Enjoying the view from here of the United States of Europe from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center in the People's Republic of Southern California.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the traffic is backing up, I'm John C. Dvorak.
In the morning.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I think it was September 11th.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
It's douchebaggery, I tell you.
Everyone's out promoting a book, promoting a scanner, promoting some kind of security device.
It's really bad.
Really, really bad.
And it's just the mainstream media just profiting off of it.
Left and right.
Front page of the New York Times this morning.
First there's a picture of the guys in the debate, but then the main story is the whole building just came apart.
Vivid view of 9-11 attacks in real time from newly published audio files.
He also saw Time Magazine is publishing never-before-seen pictures!
What?!
Ten years later?
Yeah, it's a photographer who's had him on his website for like ten years, but I guess never before published in Time Magazine, perhaps.
And it's just like, really?
Wow.
Thanks, guys.
And it's a picture of...
The whole...
The entire...
The paper today was extra large.
And the entire Thursday styles, a whole section, the whole front page is a bond forged in tragedy.
And there's a picture after picture how it started on September 11, 2001.
You know, these guys were the ones who were always moaning about how the Bush administration was exploiting September 11.
Using it too much, yeah.
WTC7 won't go away.
I found it.
Actually, one of our producers re-sent it to me.
That's the great thing about this show.
It's like...
Nothing is lost ever.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Although, people, please try and use search.nashownotes.com a little more.
Because I'm always getting emails of people saying, Hey, that clip of...
And then I say, well, let me just Google that for you, i.e.
search.nashownotes.com.
And it always comes up immediately.
It's so easy to find.
Somebody asked me something the other day, one of our producers, and it was just like, I just Googled it exactly as question.
I put the question in Google and then just gave him the Google link, which comes up as a Google search.
Well, you know the website, right?
Let me Google that for you.
No.
Yeah, I think it's lmgtfy.com.
Let me Google that for you.
And it takes you to...
Let me Google that for you.
That's the link I often send back.
lmgtfy.com.
It's funny.
It's very funny.
So in the morning to you, Jean-Claude...
In the morning to you, and in the morning to all ships at sea, feet on the air, boots on the ground, and subs in the ocean.
And let's not forget the bakers in the kitchen.
And, of course, our human resources, who once again, vigilantly, are all standing by in our chat room at noagendachat.net, noagendastream.com, with the website soon to be revamped.
I saw a new version of that.
our producers hard at work on creating.
I think that's nagradio.com.
They're working on new stuff.
It's beautiful.
It's a beautiful thing.
It's a beautiful model we've created and very proud of all the work that everybody's doing.
So I'm a little pissed for a number.
Well, no, I'm really pissed just for a number of reasons, but I kind of missed something.
A number of reasons?
Yeah, well, yeah.
Reason number one, my feeling my crown fell out the last week of the Hot Pockets 2008 tour.
Fell out?
Yeah, and just was gone.
And it's one of those moments...
It disappeared?
Yeah, it's one of those things...
Was it bouncing around in your mouth?
You didn't bite it or anything?
No, I was flossing, and then I'm like, oh, what's this gaping hole?
What is this moon crater?
And the first thing you do is you look on the ground and we never found it.
So I presume I swallowed it.
I don't know.
You probably swallowed it in your sleep.
No, because I was flossing and it was there and then it wasn't there.
It was weird.
But anyway, so I go to the dentist.
I go to the dentist to have this repaired.
Now this is a problem tooth.
I've had different dentists work on it for like 10 years.
They've been, you know, they're sculpting, reconstructing.
They're creating like entire, you know, works of art.
And there's only, there's like, you know, less than 30% of the tooth there and it's had a root canal.
And they're like, okay, well, let's take a look at this.
And then, well, you know, it looks like we have to redo the root canal because it might be a little infected.
Well, yeah, of course, because, you know, yeah, thank you.
And then, of course, I haven't had a cleaning for a year.
I never get around to it.
Yeah, that's bad.
So they're going to do deep-scale cleaning.
End of story.
After insurance...
Which, and by the way, my insurance is now gouged for the rest of my lifetime.
I can't get insurance.
We have some kind of dental coverage at Mevio, which is the only thing I get from them.
Some kind is the right operative words.
So, it's $3,000 after insurance.
$3,000!
I mean, who's got that kind of money?
Well, that's what I said.
They should have a single payer.
Whatever it is, just, I mean, no, they shouldn't be ripping me off is what it is.
Oh, that's never going to end.
It's just, what a rip-off.
It's like, you know, really?
So, I mean, I appreciate the guys doing some work there, but $1,900 for a root canal?
Are you effing kidding me?
It's just a dude for an hour.
It's an hour's work.
Yeah.
It's good work if you can get it.
Yeah, I know.
I've always wondered why, if it was done by the hour instead of by the procedure, Yeah.
Of course, we should ask our...
We have one of our knights as a dentist.
He could probably explain it to us.
Well, I think the problem is that, you know, because they're gouging the insurance companies, which in turn are gouging us, that's why that procedure has a $1,900 fee.
And that's what the insurance will pay for it.
But it's not like what Joe Schmoe schmuck podcaster Adam Curry can afford.
Anyway, I was in a very bad mood because of this.
Besides the fact that it's going to hurt.
What do you mean it's going to hurt?
Well, it doesn't hurt now.
Why not?
Because it doesn't hurt.
I actually said show me the x-ray and they showed me where the infection was.
You had an infection?
Well, that's why they have to reopen up the root canal.
I'm going to drill into my head and implant.
Maybe that's it.
They're going to put a chip in there.
It's about time.
Oh, no.
But that's not what I was really pissed at.
I'm pissed that we've totally missed what has been happening.
It's the big, big, big picture.
And what have I been calling the Eurozone for years?
What have I been calling it?
The Eurozone?
No.
I've always called it the United States of Europe.
Yeah.
And finally, the douchebag elites are calling it the United States of Europe.
Oh, when's this?
Well, this is now happening, and all of a sudden it's like, wow, maybe this is...
These aren't states, they're countries, but that's another story.
But they're literally going to call it the United States of Europe.
Literally.
That's what Merkel is now calling it.
Here, Gerhard Schroeder is calling it that.
And now I've figured it out.
See, we actually started this show around the time when I started checking out the Lisbon Treaty.
And the Lisbon Treaty was what pulled the political aspects of Europe together after scamming everybody into thinking it was just about one single currency.
And then they created this government, this European Parliament in Brussels and in Luxembourg.
How crazy is that?
Two different places.
And this Lisbon Treaty was implemented because they couldn't get the original document through, which was the European Constitution.
Because no one wanted that.
And the Constitution had the national anthem, it had the flag, and people were like, hold on a second, we don't want that.
And then they they slam this Lisbon Treaty through, even though it failed the first time because, well, the Netherlands said no.
France said no.
Then they said, well, we need a do over.
And Britain was never allowed to vote on it, even though they were promised to vote on it.
Then Ireland was the last one.
Ireland said no.
And they said do over.
And then Ireland, of course, said yes.
And then we have this Lisbon Treaty.
But now what they're calling for and all of the finance ministers are saying, yeah, we need this.
Is they're saying that they need to have more power, more centralized power in Brussels.
In fact, Haiku Herman, the president of the United States of Europe, has now said, you know what, Haiku.
I am now announcing that I am willing to continue as President of the United States of Europe if we have more power, more economic power in Brussels.
And of course, this is exactly what we could have seen this happening.
You know, I'll bet you Hitler is rolling in his grave.
Yeah, he's pissed.
He's saying, hey, was that easy?
Why did I have to kill people?
This was dumb.
Yeah, you're right.
So, you can just see it happening.
The only way out for...
Because, of course, everyone's going to be like, whatever.
Let's just stop the craziness.
We're all losing our shirts.
We're all paying for Greece and Italy and Spain and Portugal.
Do whatever.
We don't care anymore.
And then we'll have all the power to be centralized.
And congratulations, you're screwed.
And there you have it.
United States of Europe, United States of America, which, of course, already is...
Canada, the United States and Mexico and all these treaties you see that we have all these deals with Canada and we know that we're cutting all the deals with Mexico, certainly economic deals.
Then of course Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, that's going to be the United States of Africa.
And then we get the United States of Asia, which is bound to happen.
What is Japan?
Japan's got to capitulate.
And then we have the trilateral commission above that, and then we've got our one world government.
It is so close to happening.
I finally see it.
And I can't believe we've been focused on all the smaller bits, but the larger thing, it just came into view for me.
Time to shut down the show.
No, man.
We're going down with the ship.
We're going all the way down.
But it's just like, wow.
Wow, they're actually doing it.
And people have been calling, certainly me, maybe both of us, crazy.
Like, nah.
There's no new world order.
There's no new world government.
There is.
It's happening right before your eyes.
And douchebags like Haiku Herman are going to be leading it.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we'll see how long it takes.
They tried to kill Farage once before, so let's see what happens now.
We need to hear more from him.
You know he's giving a bunch of speeches.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I mean, it's been so hard to find stuff.
C-SPAN once again.
You know, what is wrong with C-SPAN? C-SPAN is supposed to be about our government.
Now they're showing the British government about the, you know, they're showing the committee hearings about Murdoch's phone hacking scandal.
This doesn't belong on C-SPAN. Get it off.
It's been on C-SPAN forever, that stuff.
I know, but get it off.
It's annoying me.
This is not our government, or is this just another ploy to show how great a parliamentary government is?
It's so great.
That's a good one.
But it's not showing how great it is.
It's showing how idiotic it seems.
Well, to you and I... Mr.
Collins!
You do that very well.
We could throw a wig on you and we're done.
Yeah, well, I had a professor at the University of California who was a visiting professor from Oxford or Cambridge or someplace.
And this guy, you couldn't understand a word he said.
It was just unbelievable.
Just blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
People, professionals took notes and it was only savior.
By the way, I'd like to welcome everybody who is brand new to the program today.
I know we have a number of new listeners after your outstanding PR job on This Week in Tech.
John, fantastic.
I listened to the show post-broadcast.
What a good job you did, my friend.
You just kept bringing it up.
It was great.
It was opportunities.
It was like an open door.
That's because what's interesting is that all news analysis shows are basically talking about what we're talking about, only they're stupid.
And we're smart, and we know what we're talking about.
No, they don't go the extra mile.
That's the reason.
They just read whatever the press release says, and then they regurgitate it.
Right.
And what do we do?
We don't get press releases.
No one sends us any PR releases.
We're no good.
Anyway, so it's, yeah, the media, it's been very hard to get through all of this 9-11 crap that everyone's been putting out.
Oh, this is just going to go on for the next two or three days, and then when 9-11, which is a Sunday show...
Oh, that is a Sunday show.
Great.
Yeah.
The only thing that I caught, basically Lucy Napolitano was on everywhere.
She had multiple appearances, because of course they came out with this implementing the 9-11 commission report, the progress report, which I have a PDF file in the show notes at 337.nashownotes.com.
You can catch a copy of that.
She was even at Politico at some breakfast thing, which was kind of weird.
There's something going on with Politico, because the Politico guy was also the co-questioner on the dais with Brian Williams.
He was there on the debate.
I'm saying, who's this guy?
I've never seen him before.
And they turned out to be the Politico guy.
And he was like, you know, cutting people off and telling them they weren't.
Who runs Politico?
I mean, they can't be making money off of ads.
No one makes money off of ads.
So who is Politico?
Who's behind it?
It must be some great force.
I have no idea.
Yeah, see?
But we'll look into it.
By the way, Sunday's show will start at 9-11-11.
We're lucky numbers.
All right.
Right.
So let me play a couple of Lucy Napolitano clips because she's always talking so much smack.
And she's and by the way, poorly dressed this time, certainly at the Politico thing.
She's talking about this.
Just little things catch my catch my attention.
Well, I'm like, oh, really?
And words do matter.
And here's her talking about some of the incredible dangers that we've been through.
She's very happy to have FEMA now under her wing.
And so she was talking about FEMA for a moment here.
Well, lately, because Mother Nature has been awfully busy.
Mother Nature has been awfully busy.
And we've seen in the last two and a half years, we've seen earthquakes, a tsunami, we've seen hurricanes, we've seen...
Where was the tsunami in the United States, John?
Could you please tell me that?
It was on the TV set.
You can see pictures of it.
Yeah.
So she's claiming it's good to have FEMA because we've had tsunamis in America, apparently.
These little things that irk me.
But of course the big topic, and this is what she's really all over now, is the balance between our security and our rights, our privacy and our general rights as determined by the Constitution of the United States of America, which as we know, the Obama administration does not believe in.
We're highly cognizant that in our efforts to protect the security of the country, we also have to protect the values of the country.
Now, this is interesting to me.
Since when did rights become values?
Ooh, that's a good one.
She continues.
And those values are founded in the Constitution.
Thank you very much.
No, those are not values, Lucy.
Those are rights as determined by the Constitution.
So this is a shift.
We're going to start talking about the values.
And by the way, this is something that...
You just won the show and we just started.
No, no.
I got so much more.
But this is a phrase, a meme, that was certainly in the Netherlands.
They called it their norma en varda, which would be their norms and values.
Does that make sense?
Norms?
Yeah.
Yeah.
The norms and values.
So instead of rights...
They talk about values, and you have to be very, very careful.
But she is now starting to propagate this, and we have to keep reminding people that these are not our values.
These are our rights as determined by the Constitution, at least in the United States.
Everywhere else, sorry, you get screwed.
You get values, whatever.
So what do these values mean for us when it comes to naked body scanners?
Well, Lucy Napolitano has lots to say about that for us.
As the software becomes better and better, we hope that we will be able to make it easier for travelers.
You won't have to take off so much, your shoes, your belt and everything, as you go through the machines.
I don't mind the shoes and belt, and you can make me a better person here, but what I mind is that they're AIT, right?
AIT, yeah.
Like, they're much more irritating and much more time-consuming because you have to hold your...
How many people have done that new kind?
You have to hold your hands like this, and if you hold your hands like this, they'll stop you and tell you that that's not the proper stance.
And you gotta do it the right way.
You're not doing it the right way!
You're not doing it the right way!
You don't know how to do it, slave!
Disgusting.
You're not doing it the right way.
Are you still there, John?
So the stream is down.
Yeah, no, it's back up again.
The NSA guys just dragged their keys across our porch.
So she said you're not doing it the right way.
You know, the thing is, does anyone remember the fact that she won't go through these machines?
Yeah, because she's doing it the right way.
Don't go through it.
That's the right way.
That's the right way to do it.
I went up to Seattle the other day and opted out.
Opt out!
Opt out!
We have an opt out!
Did they scream?
No.
But they did say, stand over there.
Here's what I found peculiar.
Maybe someone can explain why this was the case.
So they had me stand on the outside of the entrance to the machine.
And then I had to just stand in there like an idiot.
And I'm keeping an eye on my luggage, of course, because they steal it.
Laptops are particularly susceptible.
Luckily, I only travel with an old clunker.
They do.
And...
So then the guy, some expert, tech expert comes to pat me down.
He comes over there and he goes, okay, you can come in now.
So I go around.
They had a magnetometer, so I was going to walk through the magnetometer, right?
And they freak out.
No, don't do that!
Because it won't go off!
And so they open this little gate.
There's a little gate that's kind of on the side of the magnetometer between the magnetometer and the x-ray machine.
And they open this little thing and I walk through that over to the back.
So what was that all about?
What was wrong with walking through the magnetometer?
Because, I don't know, because it doesn't work?
Or because it'll show?
I mean, it was like they freaked out.
Oh my God, don't walk through the magnetometer.
I have to look at the documents.
It may be part of the protocol for some reason.
They're such trained idiots.
What's the point?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I think you'd want to get the guy through the magnetometer just as a quick look for magnetics or metals.
It seems like a logical thing to do since I wouldn't walk through the x-ray machine.
I could at least be shutting through the magnetometer and then pat it down.
It seemed like the smart thing to do.
But no.
They had me walk through this little gate that wasn't through the magnetometer, wasn't through the machine, and I'm back in the back and the guy's patting me down.
Hold your arms out.
Hold your arms out.
Palms up.
Maybe...
I have the protocol so I can look at it.
Maybe it's because if you opt out, of course you're immediately suspicious and you may have something that could be triggered by the magnetometer.
I'll check the protocol.
I'm sure it's in there.
It's just boring to read, but I'll look at it for you.
Alright.
So Lucy was also asked about the future of security in our country.
Our goal, obviously, would be to pull back in that sense.
In other words, to reduce the amount of inconvenience to people and their ability to go from in one building and out the next.
But look, we're dealing with a world where you also have lots of intended attacks on museums, the Holocaust Museum last year, government buildings of all types.
They did a wonderful job stopping that.
Yeah, but don't worry, because you're going to be going through scanners for museums.
Whatever reason.
And so, I think the American people, with few exceptions, would rather, in that case, be safer than sorry.
Yeah, let me raise my hand.
Hello, I'm one of the exceptions.
Lucy, Lucy, I'm one of the exceptions.
Yeah, I think the American people will rather be safe than sorry.
That's another way of just...
What a lie!
Safe, then sorry.
If you're not being safe, you'll be sorry.
That's so condescending.
But luckily, of course, all of these horrible events that have taken place really have nothing to do with the billions of dollars we spent on our security apparatus run by this dick.
Instead, it's of course the public who are taking care of this and we need to remind everyone that if you see something, say something.
This is our mantra.
If you see something, say something!
Let me add that in this sense of a homeland security architecture, a homeland security enterprise, one of the fundamental concepts is that of shared responsibility.
We have recognized and witnessed the tremendous role that the public plays.
According to one recent outside analysis from 1999 through 2010, 86 plots against Americans were foiled, and they were foiled by tips from a range of sources, including individuals.
What is most critical to note is that the information originated with the public and is credited with stopping almost one-third of those terrorists.
Love the 33% meme, Lucy.
Thanks.
...plots.
In other words, the kind of awareness and vigilance we are urging through the See Something, Say Something campaign, I think, is already saving lives and helping to thwart nearly 3 in 10 plots.
33%.
That's right, Lucy.
We got the message.
3 in 10 plots.
By the way, the Manhattan Transportation Authority, the MTA, is now cracking down on knockoffs of its See Something, Say Something slogan.
You cannot just print this on a T-shirt.
You cannot make a jingle.
As the MTA is moving quickly to protect the slogan.
Protect the slogan.
Why?
Because they need to protect it!
Don't they want people saying it and doing it?
Yeah, the MTA is quickly...
Let me read the report.
It makes no sense!
Of course not!
It trademarked it in 2007, plans to mount challenges before a federal trial and appeals board against other applicants.
You see, people are trying to trademark this as well, of course, to make, well, obviously, stickers, t-shirts, the whole thing.
Quote, the slogan is not allowed for use of communications other than intended anti-terrorism messages.
According to spokeshole Sam Zambuto.
In fact, the agency allows 54 entities from the Department of Homeland Security to Maryland's Natural Resources Police...
To use the catchphrase in public campaigns.
This is people, marketing people, messaging people in the government, especially the MTA. Are you insane?
Are you absolutely, completely insane?
Are you stupid?
You come up with a slogan, which, by the way, I have to say is kind of a catchy slogan.
You know, it's probably...
When done is a jingle by us.
Yes, exactly.
When done is a jingle by us.
And then you're going to forbid people from using it?
You're such idiots.
Really.
Anyway, our jingle is for sale.
I just want to let you know that.
But it makes no sense, and it's crazy.
It's an enterprise.
They're going to go after these guys for money.
Unbelievable.
So then two 9-11 clips and then I'll stop about Lucy just because she's been out there so much.
She makes me sick.
I threw up in my mouth several times.
Let's see.
What could the next 9-11 look like?
Is the next 9-11 likely to be a lone wolf?
What do you worry about most?
Is it a container?
What is it?
Yes, yes, and yes.
Snappy answer, Lucy.
Yes, yes, and yes.
It's all of the above.
It's everything you're afraid of, every boogeyman you've dreamed of, yes, is going to happen.
I wish to convey information, get information back.
What have you been told about the likelihood, either psychologically, historically, that someone will try to take advantage of that day?
Well, we know from the information obtained from...
I just heard that.
Did you hear that?
No.
She stumbled.
She almost said Obama.
She's trying to say Osama Bin Laden.
Listen, she almost says Obama.
I didn't catch that.
You know, we know from the information obtained from Ben Lodge.
Yeah.
I got one of those in my clips, too, where somebody was going to see, you could just see him saying it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't sound quite as good, the audio, but when you see it, you can see him.
We'll play it later.
You can see the bee coming out.
No, this was Perry.
He was going to say Democrat, but he couldn't say Republican because he couldn't come up with a word.
He was going to say Democrat.
And then he said, you'll see it later.
Well, I bet you they have a jar in the Oval Office, you know, where they're all partying, and where Obama is not.
I bet you they have a jar, and every single time someone does, it's like a swear jar.
Whenever someone in the administration slips and says Obama instead of Osama, they've got to put a quarter in.
A dollar.
There's a little more to this.
That he was focused on that day.
It's an iconic date, right?
Iconic.
But we don't have much more than...
By the way, when people say, right, which is a big Silicon Valley thing, it's very irritating.
That is basically saying, you're an idiot if you don't agree.
It's a horrible thing that people do.
And in Silicon Valley, they do this all the time, taking into consideration you probably don't know a lot of the technology, and it's usually used in combination with the social graph.
So here's an example.
Well, we know that people really are into this type of engagement because of the fractals and what is displayed in the social graph, right?
And you're like, usually I say, wrong.
...that he was focused on that day.
It's an iconic date, right?
Right.
But we don't have much more than that, so there's no specific or credible threat.
That's the term of argument.
Okay, so there's no specific or credible, but...
...used, but it's a possibility, and it's also a possibility that...
Anything's a possibility.
A lone actor, a lone wolf, decide this is a great day to get some attention.
I'm going to go do something.
And so that puts even more emphasis on local first responders, people remaining vigilant.
That's what we've asked the public to do, just remain vigilant as we go through this time and even as we commemorate the almost 3,000 people who died in the attacks of 9-11.
So there you have it.
Thank you much.
Anything could happen.
Anything's possible.
It could all come down.
You never know.
I'd be vigilant.
Better to be safe than sorry.
Safe than sorry.
That's right.
But don't see something say something out loud because then you're violating the copyright and the trademark.
So the only thing I didn't get that was a news report.
How does this work?
The man accused of planting a bomb along Spokane's Martin Luther King Day parade route will spend up to 32 years in prison.
Kevin Harpam agreed to a plea deal today.
Prosecutors say Harpam admitted to planting the bomb last January in an attempt to commit a hate crime.
His sentencing will be set for November.
So how does that work?
A plea bargain?
A plea deal?
What's up with that?
Did this guy, like, was this whole thing set up?
Like, hey man, look.
All you've got to do is just cop to the plea and just say you did it, and he'll give you 30, but you'll get out in three.
I mean, what kind of sentencing is that?
If this is truly a lone wolf terrorist who tried to blow people up with a backpack bomb...
Well, they did change the meme already.
It's a hate crime now.
He's not a terrorist.
You heard that.
Interesting.
No, I missed that.
Let me...
The man accused of planting a bomb along Spokane's Martin Luther King Day parade route will spend up to 32 years in prison.
Kevin Harpum agreed to a plea deal today.
Prosecutors say Harpum admitted to planting the bomb last January in an attempt to commit a hate crime.
His sentencing will be set for November.
Interesting.
So why do we accept that?
Why do we accept this plea?
This should be an outrage if we truly are the security state that we claim to be.
How come we're accepting a plea bargain?
Because they couldn't prove it, I guess.
How can we accept a plea bargain to a hate crime instead of terrorism?
Well, I think they swapped out the terrorism thing.
They got their mileage out of that.
That story, this final thing never went national, so it's just a local story now about a hate crime.
It's still on the checklist of terrorist situations that we need to be leery of, because they're everywhere.
And, you know, some guy broke a window over here at high school.
Hate crime?
No, it's terrorism.
Oh, that's terrorism.
Who knows?
I mean, the whole thing is just such a ridiculous scam that the public just accepts with, you know.
You ought to see this show.
You know, I think I'm developing this show called Generation X3. Is this now the fourth incarnation of Cranky Geeks?
No, this is a different show completely.
I still do X3, which is a little...
Explain this to me.
Why are you developing another show?
I've got nothing else to do, apparently.
No, wait a minute.
Someone said, hey, man.
Do you like working here?
Do you like those non-benefits?
Do you like that half a payment of half a payment for your teeth?
Hey, do another show, Dvorak!
So this has got three people that are all millennials with the weirdest opinions about everything.
You have no idea.
I mean, it's just like jaw-dropping.
You should name the show The Millennials and Me.
That's about it.
That would be funny.
It's like, wow.
By the way, I've talked to Molly Wood, and she's seriously considering doing a show with me.
Not no agenda, but a different type of show.
Non-tech related.
You should pursue that.
I think that would be fun.
Oh, okay.
Is that how it's going to be?
No, no.
Millennials and me.
That's a turn-on.
Hey, you can't use the joke after I already did it.
So let's play a couple things from the debates.
Shall we thank some producers first and then move on?
Because we're already like 20 minutes into the show.
Time flies when you're talking about Janet.
Mickey and I have this all the time.
We'll be in bed talking about Janet.
And then before you know it, it's 2 a.m.
Yeah, either there you want to, you know, kill yourself.
It's terrible.
Ellen Hirschdehan.
Ellen Hirschdehan.
From Bel Air, Florida.
Yes, now this is Ellen.
Let me read it and we'll get an impression of her.
Dear John and Anna, first, my husband, Nico, and I joined hosting the Clearwater Meetup during the 2008 Hot Pockets Tour.
It was great getting to know Adam and Miss Mickey in person.
Secondly, Nico has a birthday on September 12th.
He has been listening to No Agenda since episode one and got me hooked on it very shortly thereafter.
He's my soulmate and hero for his birthday.
I'm sending you $1,000 for his knighthood.
Please tell Nico I said happy birthday and all my – of course, does she see him often?
Anyway, happy birthday and all my love.
Can we please have some karma?
Yeah, I'm going to hit you with that right now, Ellen and Nico.
You've got karma.
And thanks to both of us for continued efforts on behalf of person kind.
So we're reading this going, wait a minute.
She donated $1,000 to give Nico a knighthood and she hosted the Clearwater event and she wants karma too?
Really?
I mean, please, stop asking for so much.
Not only did they host, but they hooked us up with power, with water.
They hosted the show while we did the show live.
They fed us.
Beautiful people.
Absolutely fantastic.
So nice.
And this Nico guy, you've got to check him out.
And I'll tell you something.
I never heard of Bel Air, Florida.
I didn't know it existed, but okay.
It's kind of classy, but it's spelled Bella Air.
So it's not Bel Air as in the...
Do they pronounce it Bella Air?
No, they pronounce it Bella Air.
Okay.
Yeah, but they're kind of on the edge of the classiness of the neighborhood.
It's kind of funny.
Well, that's probably better.
Yeah.
Robert Clayson.
How awesome is that?
That's the gift that keeps on giving right there, boy.
Oh yeah, no, I think these people are the salt of the earth.
Saints, yes.
Saints.
Robert Clayson in London, 24567.
Oh, this is our new donation amount for show 345.
We have the new link, right, on dvorak.org slash na.
It'll be up.
We did send out a mailing.
Wait, you sent out the mailing without that link being up?
No, the link was in the mailing.
It goes straight to the thing.
That's how he got it.
3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
But I always like to want to do the mailing.
I like to give them the advantage of being the first on the block.
So let's just, from a marketing perspective, look at the success of this mailing.
We sent out, what, 30, 40, 50,000 emails?
We sent out 5,000.
We got one guy.
Well, that's about right.
That's for our numbers, yeah.
We got one guy.
John Johnson II, the second.
It's Sedalia, Colorado, 338.
John and Adam, I figure that I'm a little late to get into the 337 club.
So I'm shooting for the 338 Club.
Oh, okay.
You made it to the 337 Club, but okay.
I've been a small amount donor for a while, but I think it's time for me to be an executive producer today.
I want to support your efforts with words and with cash.
I don't always agree with everything you say.
Of course not.
Or the way you say it.
Well, blame Adam.
But I respect your courage to say things that are unpopular.
Who says they're unpopular?
Wait a minute.
In Show 336, John talked about the Israeli-Palestine debate with more accuracy and with much less bias than any of the mainline news pundits ever do so on the subject.
For that, I'm sure he gets some nasty notes.
Actually, no.
Did any of those complaining send money to the show?
Well, let me say two things.
One, the nasty notes came to me.
I think they're doing the right thing.
Yeah.
They come to me and no, no one who sent a nasty gram donated to the show.
In fact, one guy said, I can't donate anymore.
And I said, thanks for your support.
That's alright, man.
You don't have to donate.
Until John retracts his statement.
What statement?
I don't know.
People don't listen well.
No, actually I do get that.
That bothers me the most.
You say something and you elaborate and then somebody picks off a piece of it as if they're a news anchor on Fox.
And then they blast you for it without listening to the whole thing.
Well, but not even that.
It's very strange.
They shouldn't be listening to our show at all.
That's right.
Turn off your iPod.
Go back to MSNBC. Go back to Olbermann.
Where you belong.
We're the only show that sends our listeners away.
Go!
Get out.
Get lost.
By the way...
Get lost.
I think this is the next...
So, Adam and John, you built this very successful model.
How did you do it?
We told people to get lost.
We blocked people on Twitter.
We spam-filtered their emails and told them to get lost.
And that's how we built this enormous audience.
Good job.
James Spitzer, Sir James Spitzer to you, Jamaica Plains, Massachusetts Nuts, 337.
Given the show's fascination with numbers, you might be interested in that show 337 is not just a prime number divisible by itself and one, but is a Chen prime where P plus two equals the product of two primes, three and one 13.
Chen's doctoral thesis, no doubt, and a star prime, a very interesting number.
So my upcoming 337 donation should have exceptional karmic significance and possible tie ins to the second half of the show subjects.
So I got really excited about this.
And he put some links to the book of knowledge about these star numbers.
I'm like, ah, this is great because people love numbers.
I'm like, it's true, there it is, 337.
I can't wait to use this again.
Yeah, on show 433.
Well, it's coming.
And then it's show 541.
Those should be huge.
And show 4537.
It's going to kick ass.
In fact, by then, the dollar will be so devalued that it'll be...
Yeah, that'll be like another five bucks in euros.
Yeah, awesome.
Jules van der Meer in Vlissingen.
Vlissingen.
He also seems to be a ham, John.
You could see QDX him.
4384PX. Papa X-Ray.
That must be...
I mean, that's not the normal ham sequence we have in the United States, so that's obviously...
Yeah, he's in Vlissingen.
Okay.
Another 337.
Stop mentioning nobody is listening anyway on this show.
Positive karma.
Hey, another note to send to John, not to me.
You said that.
You said that last week.
To anyone who's listening, nobody's listening.
So, how did you build that successful audience?
Well, we just figured no one was listening, and those who were, we sent them away.
Yeah, just like the yoga killer.
You know what?
Screw Jack Welch.
We're writing the book on building a successful business model.
Positive karma's on its way through PayPal.
Last time I donated, you made fun of my mega yacht customers.
Please do not say those crazy questions.
Those crazy Russian millionaires, again.
Okay.
What did he say?
Not to say?
Don't say those crazy Russian millionaires.
Actually, billionaires.
So what else did you do with this successful money?
Well, we insulted our clients.
As much as possible.
It's winning.
They're loyal customers to me as anyone else ordering a mega yacht, I would think.
Yeah, I'd be sucking them too.
I have two yachting projects running related to Gitmo Nation borscht.
So easy on our yachting friends.
Also, last time the karma kicked in a bit late.
I think your karma heart needs retuning.
Let me do that.
Hold on.
Let me retune it for you, my friend.
Here we go.
You've got karma.
No, let me say this.
We would love to get to know your Russian millionaire yachting friends.
Millionaires.
I need a vacation.
Yeah, well look, here it's coming up.
He says, please send some karma for a successful Monaco yacht show.
And you can be assured that's the gem of a show.
Yeah, no kidding.
I mean, that's going to be a lot better than the one I went to in Oakland.
I can fly it.
Coming up in less than two weeks.
Unfortunately, we should get in advance on this.
I'm meeting my customers and friends.
I'm going for a full order book for my company, Blauwater.
Anyone who wants to buy a mega yacht, B-L-A-U-W-W. A-T-E-R dot com Blauwater.
Yeah, I think Jules is Dutch, I'm pretty sure.
And the Dutch, of course, build great ships.
They're well known for it.
Oh, they always have.
So, Jules, here's what I'd say.
Here's what I'd say, Jules.
If you have any of these yachts that you can park a helicopter on the deck, I can be a sales guy for you.
I'll fly people in and park on the deck.
In fact, you can sell me with the yacht.
Boris, as part of your package, we not only give you the yacht, the helicopter, but here's a dude.
The dude comes with it.
All you have to do is just give him an internet connection twice a week and throw some borscht in him.
And that's good.
And I will be the dude.
And by the way, he comes with a beautiful woman who will just walk around and look good on your deck.
So he says his wife is too young for the MILF label, but as for looks and brains, she more than deserves the jingle.
MILF? That's one mother.
I'd like to.
Nice.
So anyway, he says keep up the good work and in the morning from all the No Agenda listeners in the yachting industry.
Monaco, here we come.
Well, that's the life.
Well, thank you.
But thank you so much.
It's fantastic.
Thank you for the magic star number 10 prime donation.
It really helps.
And it puts a smile on my face.
And I have Anonymous from Riyadh.
In Saudi Arabia, anonymous donation from Riyadh.
Nice work, or as I like to pronounce it, Rydia.
Nice work, Adam.
Media-assassinating John by tricking him into revealing his feelings on the occupied Palestine.
I still love you, JCD. And the show is top-notch.
No other show has your level of broadcast know-how combined with content.
Another 337.
Hey, I see.
I did a good job.
I tricked you.
I don't know how.
Ying Zhu.
In the morning, John, I think I made the mistake of using my real name in the last donation I made, which is apparently not Ying Zhu.
And the universe has been conspiring to empty my bank account ever since.
Please de-douche me and send some karma.
Give him a double.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
33333 from him.
And those are our executive producers and associate executive producers.
We have Dame Astrid who's chimed in from Tokyo, our great architect.
Oh, how good to hear from them again.
Awesome.
Yes, 270.
Hi, John.
I love the story about the news and media being bad for your health.
Incidentally, in order to get my 10-year-old half-Japanese daughter used to some English language, we sometimes have the unhealthy English cable TV running in the background.
I know, cringe sounds like an excuse.
Anyway, the point is that suddenly on Sunday, the 4th of September, with an episode of Leverage Season 3 was on Fox Japan, my ears perked.
I looked up and my jaw dropped.
The plot was used to get a Lucifer look-alike TV announcer, Hillary, to denounce Obama for not keeping his promise about closing Gitmo and to boot that the water is laced so they keep us all nice and docile slaves.
It is, Paul.
And at one point, a Lucifer lookalike even proclaimed, now get me that crackpot who came up with this idea in here.
We gotta get this episode.
This sounds great.
I can't believe we missed that.
Here's to good health through No Agenda and Fist in the Mouth from Gitmo Nation.
Sushi with love, Dame Astrid.
Please, still dreaming of building you in the No Agenda HQ winery with extra tall ceilings for Adam and Mickey, but then again, it would only be too clear where to knock on the door, and we don't want that.
No, certainly not.
Well, that's so sweet of you, Dame Astrid.
Good to hear from you.
I'm glad things are okay with you guys.
And finally, Nick McNeil.
Whoops.
Nick McNeil, another associate executive producer from Oakland.
In the morning, not after...
Stripping for tuition and just getting by as a grad student at the University of California, Northern Silicon Valley.
I finally landed my first desk job only $9 million to go.
I'm donating to let all the boners know that no agenda karma worked.
After assuming my place in the machine, I received my last...
My first paycheck in my new role as an undergraduate academic advisor that shows valuable value cannot be stressed enough.
This is a student, by the way, that's donating $233.33.
Cannot be stressed enough.
Instead of talking with my students about the latest in Snooki vision, I yap about corporatism, science, and most importantly, napping for humanity.
I don't think we have it yet.
No, no, no.
I do.
Here we go.
Napping for humanity.
All right.
I forgot all about that.
Another one of our initiatives that went nowhere.
Thankfully, my girlfriend is a monthly donor, so she'll never nag my ear off about the show.
Actually, your jingles have mind-controlled her enough that she has a new favorite book.
She has a new favorite book.
She can't wait to see you at the market, John.
You can't skip over parts of what people are saying.
And why do you do that?
That's not okay.
He wants to request a douchebagging of John S. Kristeck of Berkeley.
All right.
That's our group for today.
We want to thank them profusely for helping us produce this show.
And remind people they can go to NoAgendaShow.com, channel Dvorak.com slash NA, Dvorak.org slash NA, which we have a jingle for, and also NoAgendaNation.com to continue.
Dvorak.org slash NA. Yes.
A couple of PR efforts that I'd like to mention.
Now, I didn't understand this one that Jamie sent in.
These are domain names at forward to NoAgendaShow.com.
Give us much Euless?
.com?
U-L-U-S? Did I misunderstand?
Because, of course, it's all written together.
GiveUsMuchUlus.com.
Maybe it's Ulus, like the end-user license agreement?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I replied, and I said, what is this?
But thanks anyway.
I appreciate it.
CrackpotNation.com, now forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com.
There's a new wiki out there, which I think you guys should all take a look at.
Robert Leather, one of our top producers from Gitmo Nation East, has been working on it.
It's called NoAgendaWatchList.com.
And the idea is it's a watch list of people we're watching.
Which I think is a good initiative.
It's a wiki, so you can contribute to that and put all kinds of douchebags on it.
No, I think that's great, because I think sometimes we're watching people that we don't remember watching, and we need to probably refer to the wiki ourselves.
We're so good.
Yeah, we're watching you.
We might forget, but we're watching you.
So, yeah.
And I guess there's also a mobile version, which is good.
So when we can't remember.
Let's see.
Is that you or me?
That's me.
About what?
What, New Jersey calling me?
I don't think so.
No, it's not me.
Not me.
New Jersey's calling you?
Yeah, I guess so.
Maybe it's Christy.
Dear John and Adam, says Matt, after hearing of your snub from the Guinness World Book of Records for most domain names pointing to a single site, I thought of a solution.
I submitted you to recordsetter.com, formerly URDB, because if Leo can get a record for crowd surfing with a webcam, why, gosh dang it, you should too.
Well, I have yet to hear back from them, from the community of the attempt.
I did get you fdqnrecord.com and have forwarded it to the noagendashow.com website.
He got crowd surfing with a webcam?
Yeah, at South by Southwest.
Well, what kind of a record is that?
Yeah, well, that's the whole point.
The Beginner's Book of Records is obviously some scam that we don't know about.
I guess you have to pay to get into it.
Well, yeah, it's like that who's who scam.
Oh, I get so many of those.
We'd love to put you in the who's who Western intellectuals.
Congratulations.
You've been selected.
Yeah.
And here's something I never would have thought of, because of course I don't give a rat's ass about sports, but maybe you would like that.
To mark the entrance of Nebraska into the Big Ten and the start of the college football season, I've registered the following domains, which now point to NoAgendaShow.com, DearOldNebraskaU.com, and there's no place like Nebraska.com.
And he says the reason why is if you look at the Nebraska fight song, hear the lyrics, there's no place like Nebraska, dear old Nebraska you, where the girls are the fairest, the boys are the squarest of any school that I knew.
There's no place like Nebraska where they are all true blue.
For one thing, their colors are red as far as I know, and B, they're squarest and that's in their fight song?
I guess so.
Maybe squarest means like, um, fairest.
Honest.
Honest, yeah.
Something like that.
Yeah, well, it doesn't sound that way.
There should be buggery.com.
Thank you.
There's a No Agenda listener.
Yeah.
Or, why can I not find a good domain name.com?
Now forwarding to a noagendashow.com.
Paul the Book Guy is coming out with his 9-11 book.
He's actually being published.
A real publisher.
They're not releasing it before 9-11 for some obvious reasons.
I think it's better to release it after.
Tentative title, The 9-11 Bathroom Bible.
I think it's cool because you have this book and you just throw it in the crapper.
And when people are sitting there, they go, hey, what's this?
Hmm, the 9-11 bathroom Bible, I wonder.
And he's looking for all kinds of articles because he thinks he can still do more.
If you have any mainstream articles, contact Paul the Book Guy.
You can find him at Paul the Book Guy show.
Paul the Book Guy show.
And he's asked us to write a little forward or like one line, which I'm sure we can do.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Email John.
I write a lot of forwards, actually.
Email John.
I'm sure he'll do it.
Then from...
I crank out forwards.
Yeah, you do.
I'm a forwardmeister.
Forwardmeister.com.
Then from noagendameetup.org, which is a place where you can organize your own meetups.
They have something new on the website that I wanted to mention.
And No Agenda Buzzword Bingo, which generates a bingo card, a new one each time with all kinds of, I guess the idea is you listen to the show at your No Agenda meetup with the group, and then you get your card.
And for instance, on the card I just generated here, if black helicopters should come up, then you can cross that one off.
And you click it, and it actually turns green.
You don't have to print it out.
That's kind of cool.
Wag the dog.
Let's see what else they have.
In the morning, Thomas Friedman, vaccines, national treasure, aliens, Blackwater, book of knowledge.
And then, of course, when you have completed a row, or if you've completed your entire card, you yell out, bingo!
So that's a fun little thing.
It's not a moneymaker, but it's fun.
Fun to see.
And thank you very much, Steve and Reno, for curry4president.com.
A lot of people responded, and even Eric DeShill was quick to point out that at noagendaNation.com, you will see on the map that we do have representation in every single state in these United States of Gitmo Nation.
And a lot of people are very excited about us running for the 2016 ticket, John.
And I have a thought about that.
First of all, we're running together.
I don't understand why...
Why do we have to pick our running mate later?
Wouldn't it be much smarter if you just said, hey, I'm running for president and here's the guy I'm doing it with?
Why don't they do that?
You know, now that you bring it up, I think this is an initiative that we should promote.
I mean, why wouldn't Ron Paul say, I'm running for president and here's who my running mate is?
Well, I think, of course, the reason that we're not going to see that, in the short run, although I think it's a long-term winner of an idea, I think in the short run the problem is you have, these guys are running against each other to be the top dog.
No, because when we do Curry for President in 2016, it'll be Curry-Dvorak, by the way, we'll be running together.
Right.
Yeah.
Under what party?
It's no party.
It's just no agenda.
You don't have to have a party.
Who says you have to have a party?
The No Agenda Party.
No, I don't want it to be called a party.
Just, who are you?
We're Curry and Dvorak from No Agenda.
We're Crackpot and Buzzkill.
A balanced ticket.
Suck it, yo.
They make you put stuff on the ballot.
You have to say party.
You have to be independent or something.
You have to say party?
You have to actually say you're a party?
Why do you have to be part of a party?
I don't think that's in the Constitution.
Nor does it say you have to be part of a party.
I think it's the states thing.
It's the states.
You have to go through the states.
The states have requirements.
You make up whatever you want.
It's got nothing to do with the Constitution.
Okay, who gives a crap?
I do.
I think it should be the No Agenda Party.
Okay, No Agenda Party.
Alright, good.
I know how we're going to run it.
First of all, we're going to be running in the midst of the Great, Great, Great Depression.
So people will pay attention to us.
We know that'll be good.
So basically, everyone's already going to be starving and they'll be clamoring for straws at that point.
So we have a real shot.
But I have the idea.
Here's the idea.
Our platform is we're taking America public.
We're listing it on the New York Stock Exchange.
And everybody gets 10 shares.
And your right to live in America depends upon you owning at least one share.
So you can take nine shares, you can sell them to Russians, whatever.
You can sell it to someone in Timbuktu.
They hold that share, they can come in, they can work.
Right?
And we're going to do complete flat tax, just one easy payment.
Right?
The IRS code will be one page.
It's like, you know, whatever you make, I think 10% is good.
That's it.
Actually, 15 seems to be the number that works the best.
Okay.
Well, you know, look, I'm open for discussion.
15, that's fine.
And that's it.
No corporate tax.
Whatever the states want to do is fine.
And you can move around, and believe me, you'll be moving around.
And we'll just get rid of everything.
No FEMA. We'll run a military.
So the taxes are for.
Yeah.
We'll run the military.
And we'll run the other treasures of the country, like Spectrum.
We're going to nationalize all of that.
Get all these douchebags out.
Tell them, what, you want to make money on the Spectrum?
Here's how you have to do it.
Here are the rules.
We'll get rid of all that stupid stuff.
Which is mislabeled net neutrality.
It has nothing to do with it.
It's like just open access.
You can't mess with it whatsoever.
And we throw everything else out.
What else do we need?
EPA? No.
Department of Education?
No.
It's all of that.
We're going to fire a lot of people.
But I think we're the guys to do it.
Okay.
And then, of course, you hold on to that share.
And no Social Security.
You just hold on to the share.
And if we do well, then you get dividends.
Okay.
The United States is already a corporation, so why don't we just take it public?
We can tap that up.
If you want to sell it for your old age, that's good too.
And then you make a lot of money.
And then you can retire.
You need to put all these thoughts on paper.
This is a book that we can sell on the show.
Ooh, I like that.
Should we release it right after your cycles book?
Hey everybody, these are just thoughts, but are they really just thoughts?
We'll work on it.
Thank you so much to our executive producers and associate executive producers, a producer, for supporting the show.
By the way, we'll also take no money.
All we're going to do every single day as president and vice president, we're just going to do the show and we'll just talk about all the stuff that we talk about normally, except it'll be every single day.
We're not going to live in the White House.
We're just, you know, John's going to stay where he is.
No, I want to live in the White House.
No, you're not going to, well, no.
No, let's just open it up.
Come on, it's going to be a great party place.
I mean, it's designed for parties.
We just have parties in the, I don't, I don't know, that seems like.
That's what they do now.
What do you think goes on there?
I know, but I don't need to party.
We had too much time watching C-SPAN. That's all we'll do.
We'll have C-SPAN parties.
Okay.
I'm all for that.
Anyway, thank you very much for supporting the program.
It really lifts our spirits phenomenally when we have a good week and things are being supported.
And it shows that you care about what we're doing and it's working.
It's value for value.
You are not the product.
You are receiving an outstanding product.
These credits, by the way, of course, are real unlike the phonies in Hollywood.
I'm surrounded by them who would never, ever vouch for a credit.
They'll say, I don't know.
Talk to my person, my secretary.
No, we are actually here to take the call and make sure people understand if it helps you get a job, all the better.
Of course, there's always something you can do, which is go out and do this.
Propagate the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
New.
World. Order.
Hit me with it.
Shut up, slave.
By the way, to save money, we're not going to have a whole bunch of slaves running around.
Miss Mickey doesn't want to be in the administration.
She wants to be Minister of Party.
Good.
And I will fly Air Force One myself so we can fire the crew.
Well, you've got to get certified on the 47.
That'll be, as part of my campaign promise, I will get certified on the 747.
You can take that to the bank.
So, uh, so there was a debate.
Did you get to Dvorak.org slash NA? Dvorak.org slash NA. My God, John, you can't even remember five minutes ago.
I can't.
And John would be like, I do solemnly swear.
Why am I here?
So, um...
Where are we?
You're being inaugurated as Vice President of the United States and you'll forget five minutes.
Why am I here?
Biden's worse, let's face it.
So, um...
Oh, Biden.
So, there was a debate, and I want to get right to the best piece in the debate, and then we can talk about some of the minor things.
But let's go right to the cut to the chase, and first let me make a couple things clear.
The audience, you know, apparently Ron Paul couldn't stack the audience like he normally does with people that cheer him, and so he got close to being booed because the audience is filled with a bunch of Perry stooges.
All organized by Big Pharma.
Exactly.
But Ron Paul did come off the wall with the best thing in the whole.
Of course, he would have normally gotten a big round of applause in most events, but in this case he got a big thud.
Quote of the week, as far as I'm concerned.
The Ron Paul on the fence clip.
...much more complicated.
But people who want big fences and guns, sure, we could secure the borders.
A bar-bar fence with machine guns, that would do the trick.
I don't believe that's what America is all about.
I just really don't.
We can enforce our law.
If we had a healthy economy, this wouldn't be such a bad deal.
People are worrying about jobs.
But every time you think about this...
The toughness on the border and ID cards and real ideas think that it's a penalty against the American people too.
I think this fence business is designed and may well be used against us and keep us in.
In economic turmoil, people want to leave with their capital and there's capital controls and there's people control.
So every time you think of a fence keeping all those bad people out, think about those fences maybe being used against us keeping us in.
This was so amazing when I saw this.
I'm like, that's it.
Forget it.
Everyone's going to be calling him the biggest nutjob in the country.
However, I haven't really seen that.
I haven't seen people jumping out and calling him a nutball over this.
No, they're actually, I think he's so marginalized they don't even bother anymore.
Well, it's funny because O'Reilly, and I didn't see the show, but someone sent me a clip.
I guess Ron Paul won't go on his show because he says O'Reilly's not a journalist.
True.
O'Reilly sent one of his stooges down to interview him, and they did something really interesting.
They completely mangled the truth regarding the Constitution.
It was very, very surprising to me.
And I'd like to play that for you.
What is your idea of what we should do with gold?
Is it all in Fort Knox or should we start digging it up?
I just said we should obey the Constitution and make gold and silver legal tender.
Why doesn't he care or anybody care about the Constitution?
Right now, nobody legalized paper money.
where did it come from they just ignore it they talk about the constitution when it pleases them but when it doesn't please them like going to war without a declaration go bomb go bomb maran you know they might get a nuclear weapon well is there a declaration of war why is it that some people you know think we should obey the constitution sometimes but another time so that wasn't so bad you didn't want to explain that to o'reilly well he wouldn't have understood it Thank you very much.
All right, here now is Jesse Waters.
Now, I have read the Constitution.
It doesn't say anything about gold and silver.
What is he talking about?
So, John, does the Constitution not say anything about gold and silver whatsoever?
Well, I don't know.
Let's look it up in the Book of Knowledge.
The Constitution's in there.
Okay.
But silver!
U.S. Constitution Article 1, Section 10.
No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation, grant letters of mark and reprisal, coin money, emit bills of credit, make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts.
So did O'Reilly read the Constitution, or is it just full of crap?
Well, we know, well, probably both, but, uh...
Well, but, so, actually, they continue, and then they do come back to this, but they don't actually say what is stated, literally, as I just read to you, in the Constitution.
I thought it was very interesting, since I tracked the anti-constitutional meme.
He's misreading the Constitution, and this theory of his has been around for quite some time.
It's just not taken very seriously in most circles.
Oh, yeah, that's the part of the Constitution we don't take seriously in most circles.
Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution says Congress has the ability to coin money and regulate the currency and doesn't say anything about gold and silver.
So here's Article 8 that he's talking about, Article 1, Section 8, not Section 10.
Yeah, but Article 1, Section 8 refers to states.
What difference does it make?
Is that not part of the Constitution?
Yeah, but gold and silver is mentioned, but what it's saying is that if the states are going to do business with each other or with the federal government, they have to use gold and silver because we don't want to take their crappy paper money.
Right, but doesn't that mean that in the Constitution it literally states, okay, so in California we should be using gold and silver.
Yeah.
So aren't the states the United States of America?
Or do we have to trade gold and silver for paper from the federal government?
Explain it to me.
Well, what it says is that the federal government can use paper.
Does it specifically say that in the Constitution?
Well, you just read it.
It said they can coin or read that article 8 again, whichever one you read last.
Okay.
No state shall enter into a treaty alliance.
No, no, not that one.
The second one.
This is what I'm reading.
This is what I just read to you.
Well, read it again.
Okay.
That's what I did until you interrupted me.
Well, stop interrupting me.
This would be great.
We'll do our own presidential debate.
We'll just argue amongst each other.
And here's the No Agenda Party.
It has a debate as they argue with each other.
No state shall enter into any treaty alliance or confederation, grant letters of mark and reprisal, coin money, emit bills of credit, make anything but gold and silver, a tender in payment of debts.
Yeah.
So that means that in California, then at least, we should only be using gold and silver, correct?
Yeah, this was to prevent the states from having their own central banks that would compete with the big central banks.
Which we have.
We have federal reserve banks in the states.
I think they're centralized, though.
You're right, they're in the states.
Yeah, no, you should...
Well, maybe there's a...
I don't know.
It seems to me that you have to do all the business in the states with gold and silver.
The federal government is not a state.
Yeah, I know, but we're talking about the federal government, and O'Reilly's talking about the federal government, not the states.
Yeah, but Ron Paul said we should follow the Constitution, and it says it right there, gold and silver.
And O'Reilly says it's nowhere in there, gold and silver, those words are not in the Constitution.
Yeah, he said the words gold and silver were not in the Constitution.
So anyway, douchebag.
Long way to go for a jingle, but I pulled it off.
Jeez.
Okay, where were we?
Debates.
Ah, yes.
Okay, so we had the best thing.
That was the highlight of the debates.
You didn't think the Gardasil thing was good?
Well, here's what I thought was interesting about it, and I do have a clip.
First of all, let's play the Perry hesitates clip, because I can't quite express enough how, when you're watching him, you know he's just about to say Democrat.
He was asked a question that was asked in the previous debate that he couldn't take part in, and so he decided to agree with, you know, where they all held their hands up, saying we don't want to have any taxes kind of thing.
Yeah.
And he just about says Democrat, fellow Democrats, because he is a Democrat.
He is a Democrat, yeah.
But he can't even bring himself to get the right word, so he can't say Republicans.
But play the Perry hesitates clip.
That included $10 in spending cuts for every $1 in tax increases.
We've been anxious to get you on the record now that you have jumped into this.
Would you take that deal?
I join my fellow participants here.
Yeah.
Well, everyone's out talking about him.
Oh, it was a Clinton's guy who voted for Hillary Kaye.
Yeah, he did.
You were the first one that told me that, by the way.
I hadn't heard that anywhere else.
Now everyone's on the bandwagon because I guess eventually they're like, what are we going to write about it now?
I don't know, man.
Consult the Book of Knowledge.
Hey!
Hey, dude!
He was a Democrat.
Did you know that?
Yeah, cool.
It took that much work.
Yeah.
So...
So they were jumping all over him about this Gardasil thing.
I may have...
Let's see what I have for clips.
I probably didn't...
I have it if you want it.
I don't think it's important.
I think what was important was the...
But just suffice it to say, they jumped all over him for this forced vaccinations.
And Paul was particularly adamant.
Well, he did it by executive order, is what he said.
By executive order.
And then somewhere in the executive order, there was an opt-out.
That was Perry's parade.
I didn't know about it until he mentioned it.
No.
But here's what's interesting.
Romney comes up.
Because everyone's jumped all over Perry, who's tried to defend himself.
And Romney comes up and defends Perry and played this clip.
And this is the clip that says to me what I said a couple weeks ago and put it in the prediction book.
Ah, yes.
Perry is the vice president.
We've each taken a mulligan or two.
And my guess is that that's something you'd probably do a little differently a second time.
He just said he'd rather do it through legislation next time through.
And I recognize he wanted very badly to provide...
Better health care to his kids and to prevent the spread of cancer.
I agree with those who said he went about it in the wrong way, but I think his heart was in the right place.
Right now, we have people who on this stage care very deeply about this country.
We love America.
America's in crisis.
That's good.
You can kill it.
Yeah, so you did kind of fall for it.
I mean, to me, we actually watched the engagement of Chris and Kim Kardashian, because I thought it was more entertaining than a debate.
I mean, you fell for it.
This is a show.
I mean, I can't believe you actually watched the show.
Because our listeners demanded it.
Okay.
So here's what got me about the thing.
There's a couple little gotchas.
First of all, play the Gingrich clip, because this is a piece of information I did not know, and I thought I got something out of that.
And the original goal was to have a Homeland Security Department that could help us withstand up to three nuclear events in one morning.
And we need to understand, there are people out there who want to kill us.
Squirrel!
Yeah, three in one morning.
Hmm.
Did you know that?
That's the magic number.
Well, besides the magic numbers, you know that Gingrich was part of the DHS creation.
Yeah, well, I heard Giuliani talking about that he was on Pierce Douchebag last night, and he was also saying, you know, well, you know, the president got a lot of flack, but, you know, if it happened again, we'll be ready.
We'll be ready for him!
So I guess, you know, I guess they're all, they got hard-ons about this shit.
So the final clip I have, and again, I didn't overclip, but this one, which is right in the middle of the debates, they play this SEIU This advertisement, which I thought was chicken shit, and let me explain.
This is MSNBC, and it's a Republican debate that is watched mostly by Republicans or independents, mostly independents who are trying to figure out who to vote for, because that's your key constituency.
So would you play, if you were hosting an event like the Democratic debates, would you ask for advertisements that just slam the Democrats?
No.
Is this even fair?
I wouldn't even care.
Just pay me the money.
Well, you wouldn't care.
Well, never mind.
But I thought that this ad was really a low blow, but play it.
It's a pretty funny ad.
What's it going to take?
Do we have to spell it out?
Can't Republicans in Congress get the message?
Instead, they protect tax breaks for big oil, tax breaks for billionaires, even tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas.
Republicans in Congress have shown who they stand up for, voting to take care of the wealthy, not the middle class.
It's time to bring jobs back to America.
SEIU Cope is responsible for the content of this advertising.
Yeah.
I just thought it was like...
Well, it's mind control.
It's all mind control because I think...
I believe that this...
First of all, the whole thing is a little bubble.
And if you really think...
I mean, what are the ratings on this thing?
How many people actually watch this?
Nobody watched it.
Me and five other guys.
You were watching.
Everyone else was watching the Kardashians.
That's what the Americans do.
Yeah, I mean...
How was that, by the way?
Was it a good show?
Yeah.
You know, it's funny because, you know, Kim Kardashian's trying to, or she said, I think she may have succeeded at buying back the rights to that sex porn video, the sex tape that she did, which is on Vivid Entertainment.
So I watched that.
I watched the trailer for it.
You watched the porn?
Yeah, I've seen that.
But I watched the trailer for it.
And it's her, like...
It's really weird because it's almost like she's promoting it.
And she's saying stuff like, you know, everyone thinks my boobs are fake.
Well, they'll know now.
I mean, no one knew Kim Kardashian when this happened.
And by the way, Ray J, my God, double hander.
I mean, this guy, he's hung like a horse.
That's why these videos are, you know, that's what these women are trying to, I guess, promote the fact that they can handle it.
Whatever the case is, I find these people to be...
Kim can handle it.
Can she handle it?
Yeah, Kimmy can.
So they're the Gabor sisters of our generation.
Yeah, not quite.
So we're going to be stuck with them forever, and I'm glad that you spent your time watching their show.
I was forced.
That was forced.
Well, meanwhile, there's good news, or bad news, actually bad news, in the business of, well, play the coffee trends.
This has disturbed me.
And in news around the Bay Area, baristas at a San Jose coffee shop busted for serving topless.
Neighbors have long complained about scantily clad employees at Quinn Cafe.
This is cell phone video given to the authorities by the wife of a customer.
On Sunday San Jose police officers walked in and found two women working half noon.
The women were cited, but not the owner.
That's not illegal by the way.
I didn't think it was.
It's not illegal.
In fact, there's another controversy in San Francisco over nudists.
It's Quinn's Cafe for everyone who's interested.
Quim Cafe?
Quinn in San Jose.
Queef Cafe.
Hey everybody, welcome to the Queef Cafe.
It's not illegal.
Nudity is legal in San Francisco.
Well, this is San Jose.
Oh, and I don't know about San Jose.
And I actually wasn't going to play this.
I'll just play a little bit.
So I guess that nudity is legal in San Francisco.
You can walk around naked if you want.
It's not a problem.
There's a bunch of guys up there in the Castro, and I've seen them at some of the gay parade events.
They walk around naked.
Big deal.
But now there's a law that's being proposed that when they sit on a public bench or a seat, they have to put a towel over it so that you don't transfer cooties or something onto the bench.
And this looks like it's going to pass, but the reporting is what just, I'm like, wow, how infantile and idiotic, just infantile reporting from your mainstream news media.
For those who like to bear it all in San Francisco, it might just be time to cover it up.
Oh, bear it.
It gets worse.
Restrictions on public nudity.
Mike Sugarman went on the search for nudists who might not be ready to so-called throw in the towel.
Just yet, Mike?
Okay.
If there's any item, we'll find out.
If there's any question, if you're not watching Denver television right now, you're not watching St.
Louis television, you're not watching Phoenix television, This is San Francisco Television.
Our story begins here in the Castro.
The Jane Warner Parklet at Castro and Market in San Francisco is a great place to hang out.
Have a nice day.
Enjoy a picnic.
A long sandwich day.
By the way, he's naked.
He's naked.
It's legal in San Francisco to be naked outside if you're not a rest.
I like the bells.
And the whole thing.
They can't help themselves.
It's a naked body, you idiots.
And it's not pretty either.
It's just like, it blows me away.
It's like, no problem showing people being burned and killed and bombs dropped on them and mangled and all screwed up and the government's spying on you.
But oh, and it comes a naked guy, an old naked guy.
Turn off your television.
It's killing you.
Stop drinking the water.
It's killing you.
Really.
End of rant.
Yeah, we should play the pet peeve of the day.
It's just one of many.
Okay.
So, I thought I had a clip here that was...
Something you missed?
I can tell you, well, there's a couple things you don't have that you didn't play.
Paul botches attack.
Yeah, but, you know, Ron Paul is, you know, this is the problem he has.
Somebody, he had the opportunity to really attack.
How about Sharpton on Perry?
Perry, and he just mumbled and bumbled and misused words.
And then if you play Al Sharpton, who wraps up Perry in an analysis piece, and you listen to two of them, you say, well, these guys are not erudite by any means.
They come back-to-back of pushing for bailout money, supporting welfare for illegal immigrants, and trying to forcibly vaccinate 12-year-old girls against sexually transmitted disease.
He's your home state governor.
Is he less conservative than meets the eye?
Much more so, yes.
Just take the HPV, forcing 12-year-old girls to take an inoculation to prevent this sexually transmitted disease.
This is not good medicine, I do not believe.
I think it's social misfit.
It's not good social policy.
And therefore, I think this is very bad to do this.
I think that, I agree, Covenant Perry fed red meat to his base.
I think that he hurt himself, though, with the general public.
When you go through the fact checks, when they check out his claims about jobs and minimum wage in Texas, I think he's going to get a little hit hard on that.
The Ponzi scheme, science.
I mean, this whole thing of Galeo was outvoted.
I mean, he really got out there For his followers, I think he played to those seats.
Whether they are the majority of the seats or not, we'll see.
Now, I have an analysis on this.
So Ron Paul doesn't work with a teleprompter, doesn't work with a script, and, you know, sometimes when you're not complete, I'm sure he doesn't train.
I just have a feeling.
No, no, he doesn't have canned responses.
And he doesn't train with all kinds of douchebags.
He's just a real guy.
By the way, you've got to tell me how to register to be a Republican so I can vote for him, because that's my agenda.
I'm voting for this guy.
Call the courthouse.
Do I have to call the courthouse?
You can probably go over there and just change your...
We can't do it on the interwebs?
Not that I know of.
Because otherwise I'd just be changing yours to something else.
Okay.
Sharpton, of course, works off a script all the time, which is why he can't read.
When it comes out, it's stupid.
What was that?
Resist We Much?
Resist We Much.
And also Galeo.
Galeo.
Exactly.
Did he mean Galileo?
Did he mean Galileo?
I think he meant Galileo.
I don't know.
So, a little secret for those of you who are new to the program.
All of these people, and every single show, including the Kardashians, every single show is scripted.
It's written out.
And sometimes, and I've had this, I remember on MTV, this was actually the Headbangers Ball, it was like one of the first two or three shows, and And I was reading off the prompter.
It was the last time I was reading off the prompter because we had a guy there.
I forget what the band was.
It was some heavy metal band and he was waiting for the interview.
And I'm reading off the prompter and instead of saying heretic, I said heretic.
And I remember, and it was like the name of their song or their album.
Heretic.
And the guy after that says, you're an idiot.
It's heretic.
You're an idiot.
And that was the last time I read off a prompter at MTV. Now I'm talking like, you know, 86, 87, whatever.
I was doing that.
Now Julia Gillard.
The Prime Minister of Gitmo Nation Down Under is also, even in an interview situation, reading off a teleprompter.
Please, you have to...
It doesn't look that way, but all of these things are scripted.
All of it.
It's all scripted, and they can't read for shit.
And do you trust the Foreign Minister?
Well, of course.
Kevin is part of my team.
Why after this week?
Oh, well, Chris, I'll leave the political commentary and hyperbole to you.
I'll leave the hyperbole to you.
She said hyperbole?
She said hyperbole!
It's hyperbole.
Right.
You would only say hyperbole if you were reading it off a prompter.
If you're thinking about the Super Bowl.
Leave the political commentary in hyperbole to you.
She's reading off the prompter in a fake interview.
There's no other...
John, you and I have been in media all our lives.
You've made these mistakes.
No, you maybe not.
I've made these mistakes.
They have, and we always have to remind people that back in the olden days, when you were getting started, they used to send out these 33 and a third records.
That were interviews with people.
Right.
Yeah.
Vinyl.
It was actual vinyl.
It was vinyl.
It actually came out as vinyl.
And it was half of the interview and you'd have a list of questions.
And you'd slot it right in.
Yeah.
And you'd say, I'm here with so-and-so who's a record producer or he's a famous artist.
And we're here.
Thank you for being on the show.
You're welcome.
I'm glad to be here.
So what's your latest project?
My latest project is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So is this going to pay attention?
Is this...
You think this is going to do well?
I think this is going to...
You know, just hope to God these things don't skip.
But they even gave you a script.
Yeah, and they gave you a script of what questions to ask.
And the time...
And I did...
And then later, when I really started, it was U-matic videotapes, EPK, the electronic press kit, and would have an interview with the questions cut out.
And I wish I could find it, but I remember on Countdown, the show I did in the Netherlands, and then we're talking 83, we put it together and we promoted live satellite interview with Janet Jackson.
And we had these answers and she was like, you know, at her Malibu beach house.
And the whole thing was promoted as a big lie interview.
It was, you know, innocent, but wasn't really.
And we actually put the fuzz...
It wasn't innocent at all.
It was a big lie.
Yeah, and we put the fuzz in, like, oh, oh, oh.
You know, and I actually...
Because I... Yeah, yeah.
Wait.
We'd lose the connection at one point.
We had to like...
That's really phoning it up.
Yeah, but people bought it hook, line, and sinker.
Hook, line, and sinker.
This was kind of somewhat parodied and destroyed by a show that was on one of the cable stations called Space Ghost.
Oh, I've never seen that.
And Space Ghost was this character who...
They took these interviews and then he just asked random weird questions.
And then had them do those straight answers.
And was this animated?
Yeah, the space ghost was animated, but the person was real.
Because it was from a video press release.
Hold on a second.
Let me see.
Something here from the YouTube.
Let's see if this is good.
Kentucky Nightmare.
Hold on.
Is this it?
Hey.
Yeah, probably.
What's with the shark?
That's been there for over a year.
Oh.
Well, I don't remember it.
Hold on.
Yeah.
Where's his guest?
Is that his guest?
Unfortunately, I got an episode that sucked.
Okay, well we'll look into it.
Space goes.
Well anyway, so that was the idea and it became kind of ludicrous.
And I've always, and I think you see some parodies of it occasionally on Leno where they re-edit a press conference and things like that.
But no, most of these things are amazingly rehearsed and they're canned.
Canned is the word.
And it's pathetic that the public doesn't know this.
I mean, I don't know.
I think it's one of the things we try to reveal on this show.
I do have one clip.
If you can go back to your email, I sent you a last minute clip, which I guess I forgot to include.
And I did want to play this clip.
So you can pull that down.
But in the meantime, there's also a clip I have here from me.
I only have two hands, John.
And then meanwhile, can you also do this?
Hold on, I don't see it in the email.
It should be his last clip, no?
Oh, no, John C. DeVore.
No.
No, I don't think you sent it here.
No, I'll send it again.
Yeah, reset.
I've got a kick out of this Huntsman and $13 oil that he went off the deep end with.
And I actually got into a debate with...
Buzzkill Jr.
who said, oh yeah, you can document this.
This is bull crap.
This is a specious argument.
Just tell us about where you want this country to go in terms of what we have in such great abundance.
Tell us where we think we can find that which we have and convert it into jobs and expanding our industrial base and reminding the American people that they're not paying $4 per gallon for gas.
When you add up the cost of troop deployments, when you add up the cost of keeping the sea lanes open for the importation of imported oil, the bulking distribution and tourmaline cost, it's $13 a gallon, so says the Milken Institute.
And I say the American people have had enough.
We need a president who's going to provide a little bit of leadership in giving us some direction and opening up the opportunities.
What a bunch of crap!
It's specious.
Wait a minute.
The Milken Institute, is that the Mike Milken Institute?
Yeah, Michael.
That was the thief?
Well, he was the fall guy, let's face it.
So you actually had Buzzkill Jr., who's a millennial, he popped up and said, oh yeah, that's right.
Where'd he get that from?
He got it from some other source, besides the Milken Institute.
But what the meme is, is that There's overhead involved with protecting our interests and going to war to get the oil and all the rest of it, which is all specious.
What if we didn't have the war and we're still getting the oil imported?
It's not $13 anymore?
I mean, it was just a weird...
I didn't expect to hear it from a Republican out of the blue like that.
You mean Buzzkill Jr.
is a Republican?
No, no, I'm talking about Huntsman.
Buzzkill Jr.
is an independent.
Independent crackpot.
And independent Buzzkill.
I'm sorry.
And I just thought it was like, why is Huntsman throwing this in the pot?
But why is he?
What do you think?
I have no idea.
It's like...
To assuage somebody...
Well, Huntsman is an Obama guy.
He was a willing participant of the administration.
Come on.
Yeah, right.
He was the best.
He's a Democrat sitting there posing as a Republican.
Yeah, I think that must be it.
You know, something else that was nuts, speaking of subsidized stuff...
So we went to Malibu, one of Mickey's actress friends.
It was smoking hot, by the way.
She somehow finagled through whatever.
She finagled Mel Brooks' beach house.
Which is kind of cool.
Yeah, because Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft basically slept there.
And by the way, it's the shittiest house on the block.
And the only thing that was cool was there was his director's chair from History of the World Part 1, which I took a picture of.
But everything else, it's a crummy beach house.
And the guy's a real estate mogul.
He's got tons of beach houses, all kinds of stuff.
It was really nice because, you know, you go there and it's like five bedrooms.
So that was very nice of her to invite us.
And so we stay overnight and everything.
We go back and then we actually took Canyon River Drive, I think is what it's called.
Were you in Brooks' bed?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
I became very funny.
Anyway, there's a couple of lines I want.
I'm going to relent from my normal ribald humor.
Go on.
God forbid.
So we basically drive through Calabasas, which is a much better way to go than PCH. And so, yeah, we're feeling pretty good.
But, you know, let's grab a milkshake just for a little sugar rush.
And we go to McDonald's drive-thru and they're, I'm sorry, the milk machine is not working.
That happens a lot, by the way, where the milkshake machine is not working.
But I love how it's like, I'm sorry, the milk machine is not working.
Okay, thank you.
And across the street is Jack in the Box.
And at this point, Mickey's like, because, you know, she's not into any junk shit at all.
Except the Kardashians, apparently.
Yeah, please, don't hold that against her.
That's the only thing.
And so we go to Jack in the Box drive-thru.
And of course, it's like, can I interest you in a new special meal?
No, two milkshakes.
And so we're waiting for these milkshakes.
And there's a sign on the door that says, now accepting EBT cards inside.
Now, do you know what EBT cards are?
Isn't that the new food stamp or welfare card that's now a credit card from Visa or MasterCard?
Yes, run by JP Morgan.
They run that entire scam.
I'm like, really?
So you can buy jack-in-the-box food With your food stamps, essentially, is what it is.
Yeah, why not?
Well, no, you're not.
And this is what pissed me off, because I went to look on the website, consulted the book of knowledge, and there are rules about what you can and cannot buy with your food stamps.
You can't buy a hamburger?
No, I'll tell you why.
So you can't buy beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes, or tobacco, of course, any non-food items such as pet foods, which I think is wrong, because, you know, what do you think?
We need to eat pet food, so I think they should scrap that.
That'll be part of our ticket, by the way.
We'll say that you can buy pet food.
Yeah, people can buy pet food.
Dog food, let's make it more cat food.
More overt.
And fish food.
Vitamins and medicines.
Vitamins.
You're not allowed to buy vitamins with your food stamp card.
But also, here it is, food that will be eaten in the store or hot foods.
So the only thing I can imagine, I didn't go inside, obviously, but what, they have some kind of, like, technicality where maybe if you buy it inside and you run out real quick, then it's not eaten in the store, but it can only be cold food, so what, they give you, like, cold fries?
The whole thing.
And then they have junk food and luxury items.
The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 defines eligible food as any food or food product for home consumption and also includes seeds and plants which produce food for consumption by SNAP households.
That's the acronym.
The act precludes the following items from being purchased with SNAP benefits.
Alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, hot food, any food sold for on-premises consumption, non-food items such as pet food, soaps, paper products, medicines, and vitamins, household supplies, grooming items, and cosmetics are also ineligible for purchase with SNAP benefits.
And then it has a list.
Soft drinks, candy, cookies, snack crackers, ice cream are food items and therefore eligible.
So ice cream's okay.
Candy and cookies are okay.
Soft drinks are okay.
Seafood steak and bakery cakes are also food items and therefore okay.
But a jack-in-the-box taco is not okay?
Well, apparently it is because they're accepting it.
Well, I know, but according to your list, I'm saying...
I don't know.
Here it is.
Fast food restaurants want a slice of food stamp pie.
A live five news one day ago by Mark Davenport.
a commentator on some TV station in South Carolina.
For years, people have used food stamps or EBT cards in grocery stores, but now restaurants across the country are trying to get a piece of the pie.
Restaurants in Arizona, California, Florida, and Michigan are already accepting EBT cards for the food, but South Carolina has yet to follow.
So it's a local state thing, although it says Department of Agriculture, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, food stamps blah blah blah Apparently, it is okay.
In some states.
Well, it's a federal program.
Yeah, this is becoming baffling the more I'm reading this article and listening to you.
So we'll look into that, but it surprised me.
And Jack in the Box is crap!
Remember when 20 people died from Jack in the Box, like the E. coli scare?
Remember that?
It was like 20 years ago or so.
Yeah, they killed a bunch of people.
So this is being pulled up again from your neck of the woods or your family's neck of the woods in Washington.
And I think there's a hit job, and this is maybe something for the Dvorak Horwitz Unplugged show.
I think there's a hit job out.
I did a little research on this.
Now, Burger King was just purchased, or actually taken private, by 3G Capital.
And 3G Capital, I think they own a big chunk of InBev, who now owns Anheuser-Busch.
They're food guys.
They're a food investment group.
And they took Burger King private for $4 billion.
And then this little news report comes out, which is clearly a PR job, and I'll tell you why.
It seems that there's a systemic problem with the Burger King grills.
At least, you know, they're not maintained well.
And I think the real question that Burger King needs to ask themselves is how widespread is this problem?
Right now, we know the problem is in stores in seven Washington counties.
The issue was first discovered in July when the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department inspected a Burger King in Puyallup.
Hamburger needs to be cooked to 155 degrees and every food establishment like Burger King or any food establishment has systems in place to make sure that food is cooked to the proper temperature.
Because of a grill malfunction, many of the patties were not properly cooked.
The cause of the undercooking is a mechanical problem, whether it's the girls are getting old or they're not being cleaned thoroughly, and so you have the flame is not hot enough.
So that, I think, in and of itself should raise some red flags.
In 1993, an E. coli outbreak due to undercooked meat at jack-in-the-box restaurants sickened more than 700 people, several of them in Washington state.
Four children died.
So I'm looking at this, and I go to fox13.com or whatever.
This is the Tacoma station, I think it is.
And they have a link to the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department website, and you can look at all of their investigations.
And indeed, if you fill out Burger King, you can see a couple of these restaurants.
It says, oh, violation!
You know, we noticed that it was only 140 degrees instead of 150 degrees.
But I went one step further and I filled out McDonald's and they have just as many violations for exactly the same thing.
So, I think that there is some kind of hit job out.
It has to be big financial.
I couldn't find it, by the way.
I couldn't find out why.
And it probably has something to do with 3G Capital.
Because this thing, it's all too recent.
These guys just bought it.
They paid a nice premium on the price.
Burger King was already in a little bit of trouble.
And all of a sudden, this news comes out that this incredible journalist at Tacoma Pierce County Station, Fox, that you're telling me that they did some investigative work.
And, oh, we just discovered this?
No.
This is a PR piece.
I can't find it, but maybe some of your fans up there can find it.
Well, finding is one thing, but understanding the reason...
Right, but there must be a 3G capital tie-in.
It has to do with...
The only thing I could find...
Well, the 3G capital is a Brazilian operation, which is interesting in itself.
Well, I did find something very interesting, and this is something we can check our book of knowledge on.
And our prediction book, actually, going forward.
It turns out that the United States has never invaded a country that has a McDonald's.
And so, in the book of knowledge...
I find it impossible to believe that there was no McDonald's in Iraq.
Well, no.
And I find it almost impossible to believe there's no McDonald's in Egypt.
Okay, let me take a look.
I find it impossible to believe...
No, no.
That there's no McDonald's in Afghanistan.
Hold on.
First of all, I'm only going by the book of knowledge.
There is a book of knowledge entry, list of countries with McDonald's franchises.
This, by the way, is apparently a theory that more people are following.
And no, there was no McDonald's in Iraq.
In fact, on the base where I was in Basra, they had a Burger King.
But that was on the base.
Afghanistan also does not appear on the list.
But neither does Libya.
Neither does, let me see, is Syria in here?
No, Syria, not on the list.
We were talking about Morocco the other day.
Not on the list.
Algeria.
Algeria, hold on a second, let me just check.
Algeria, not on the list.
Well, they're doomed.
Yeah.
So I think we can, let me just see if Morocco.
Morocco.
Nope, not on the list.
Well, this is an interesting thesis.
So if you don't get a Burger King pretty quick, I mean a McDonald's, then you can be, but they're in a lot of places.
They're in a lot of interesting places.
Japan, Panama, Germany, El Salvador, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Brazil, Singapore, Spain, Malaysia.
Let's see if I can find any esoteric ones.
Macau, Macau.
In Russia, Greece, Guadalupe.
Yeah, so the theory is we have never invaded a country that has a McDonald's in it.
So, by the way, we're on this topic.
I believe that the Syrian action has been called off.
Really?
Yeah, two days ago, New York Times, front page story.
It was carried inside.
By the way, can I just say one thing?
We didn't invade Egypt.
When I said that, I thought you might invade Egypt.
No, I see people in the chat room going, man, there's McDonald's in Egypt!
Yeah, but we didn't invade Egypt.
That's why we have no foots in the ground.
Yeah, we're invading Libya, not Egypt.
Sorry I interrupted.
So, I like your depiction of the chat room.
Well, it's in the corner of my eye.
It's like a hysterical old lady.
Yeah.
Anyway, let me break it up for a second.
Just so we can get on something else.
Do any of your kids play video games?
Yeah, they all play video games.
Do they play Grand Theft Auto 4?
They have.
Alright.
So, you know, have you ever played it?
Not the newest.
I played some of the early versions.
I find it tedious.
Yeah, me too.
They're fun, though.
So in the car you have radio stations?
Yeah.
So one of our producers went through the trouble of recording the radio stations.
And this game came out in 2008.
And this is the radio station you can select in Grand Theft Auto 4 is WKTT, the Richard Bastien program.
Okay, we've got a live terrorist sighting.
Hello, you're on the Richard Bastion Show.
Yeah, I'm on the train and I see a guy who's a terrorist.
This guy's really suspicious.
Okay, good.
What's he doing?
He's sitting there reading some religious shit.
Okay, now how can you tell this shit's religious?
What is it?
What's going on with it?
I'm sure.
Well, that is a sure sign, okay?
Now, what you're sitting across from right there is Al Conqueso, the Spanish terrorist, the worst kind, okay?
They're already infiltrated into all our shitty jobs.
You know, you see them outside, you know, at various hardware stores waiting to just the next strike, okay?
They're the most dangerous of all.
I cannot stress that enough.
Now, you know what you have to do, don't you?
Sure do.
I'm on 24-7.
We're on a train.
There's kids everywhere.
Time to let it fly with some bullets to see what this bastard is all about.
Dude, thanks a lot, Richard.
Eat lead, you Alcon queso motherfucker!
That's great.
Perfect.
Now that, that is a true American.
You know, I just want to give that man a heart stopper from Burger Shot, shove a slice of apple pie up his ass and salute that guy.
That son of a gun loves America.
You see, Bastion's buddies, we're everywhere.
And we're all about keeping this country safe.
Next caller.
This is MKUltra, if I've ever heard of it.
This is programming the young people of America.
Forget the pimps and the hookers and everything in that game and crashing the cars.
This is the real, the true psychological warfare that's being played on our children.
El Conqueso.
With cheese.
El Conqueso.
That's really unbelievable to me.
It really, really blew me away.
There's probably a lot of stuff in the game like that.
Yeah, well, we've caught lots of stuff, even when they literally talk about MKUltra.
But this is really it.
This stuff's real, man.
So, back to Syria.
Okay.
So the New York Times did this big special, and all the Syria coverage has disappeared.
But it began with this article about, what's the capital of Syria?
Damascus?
Or is that Lebanon?
I think it's Damascus.
So they show a big mall loaded with shoppers.
Saying the shoppers in downtown Damascus don't even pay.
There's just nothing going on.
This whole thing is bullcrap.
And they're all shopping away.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Isn't Assad like a horrible man?
And isn't he like killing people?
And people are rioting against him?
And his horrible atrocities against the shoppers?
Hey!
You shopper!
Stop that!
I'm shooting you, you shopper!
Wow.
Yeah, and there was this photo of a mall that was just jammed with people, you know, just shopping, and supposedly was taken within the last day or so, and there was a big article about how nobody in Damascus thinks anything's going on at all, so it's all bogus.
Well, I think we've already kind of established that we've done...
We've always thought everything's bogus.
Right, but the United States has done a deal with the Russians, because, of course, the Russians have their naval base there, and I think we will kick the Chinese out.
If there's any Chinese in it, Chiners get out, because that's what it's all about.
But I don't think they want to mess up that country.
They don't have a lot of oil.
They don't have a lot of stuff.
I think we're already good.
The Russians, the Russkies are like, hey, you gave us Exxon?
Cool.
We'll take care of this.
Don't worry about it.
Got your back, bro.
Got you covered.
On the other side, South Sudan, the George Clooney region, where he's got his eye in the sky.
There is now a call in the United Nations for NATO, which stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization, North Atlantic, to include South Sudan in NATO's security system.
Whereby South Sudan...
Are we going to move it to the North Atlantic?
How do you put an African country in NATO? Most people are like, that's on the Atlantic, isn't it?
Let's go out on the street.
Where's South Sudan?
South Atlantic.
South Sudan would be included in NATO's mandate, and hence any aggression on South Sudan would be considered an aggression on all of the NATO countries.
In other words, whew, attack.
We've been waiting for this to happen.
So that's a blatant setup.
The Sudan thing is really, you know, first we have the phony fighting going on.
There was like some genocide we don't know too much about.
George Clooney is looking at it.
Clooney shows up.
Next thing you know, they have a big election.
They split the country in half somehow.
I don't know how that worked.
Now you've got South Sudan.
Now they're still battling going on along the border where the oil wells are.
And now they want them to join NATO so we can make sure.
I think this has got something to do with China, too.
China.
China and the oil.
We have probably not been following it close enough.
I think we were dropping the ball on the Sudan thing.
Well, it was boring.
We were distracted by Syria.
Yeah.
Well, there's one report from Libya that I liked very much, which will give so much credence.
Now, this was CNN, of course.
Spokeshole BS network.
And they do this report with another one of these nondescript reporters you've never heard of in an interview with a human rights watch guy.
I don't know if they're any good, that organization.
Be on the lookout for this.
This, by the way, will play right into our next segment on the show.
This box contained two missiles and four power sources.
The Igla-S can shoot down a plane flying as high as 11,000 feet.
It's the Russian equivalent of the US-made stinger missile.
The US supplied hundreds of stingers to the Afghan Mujahideen during the Soviet occupation, then spent millions of dollars trying to buy them back, fearing they'd fall into the hands of terrorists.
Peter Bukart of Human Rights Watch has been tracking these weapons in Libya for months.
In every city, We arrive, and the first thing to disappear are the surface-to-air missiles.
We're talking about some 20,000 missing surface-to-air missiles in all of Libya.
And I've seen cars packed with them.
If Bukart's assessment is accurate, thousands of surface-to-air missiles could be on the loose.
American officials worry they might end up with Iran, Al-Qaeda, or other terrorist groups.
Yeah, Al-Qaeda!
That's what's going to happen next.
Did he say Kaida or Al-Qaeda?
I think he said Al-Qaeda, but it could easily have been Kaida.
Let's listen again.
Thousands of surface-to-air missiles could be on the loose.
American officials worry they might end up with Iran, Al-Qaeda, or other terrorist groups.
I'm not sure what he says.
They could turn all of North Africa into a no-fly zone.
I want to have one of those.
I need to get me one of those Russian surface-to-air missiles to take out the drones.
Good luck to Dad.
Don't you mean donation time?
He means Adam's got another story about drones.
Drones.
So, Al-Qaeda, whatever you want to call it.
By the way, they went back to the using of the word Qaeda.
So now I'm convinced that they...
And I kept the story, the one that uses al-Qaeda.
It's loaded with all kinds of information that everyone needs, like stuff that you should be reading.
It's actually definitely...
Read this is when you see Al-Qaeda in the headline of a New York Times article.
There was another quote about Africa, and this is West Africa, which kind of fits into everything in Nigeria.
And here's another anti-China story.
Nigeria is West Africa's largest economy, is selling U.S. dollars for Chinese wands.
They sell?
The Nigerian Central Bank Governor, Lamido Sanusi, who sells kitchens apparently, said in Beijing today that Africa's top oil exporter will convert as much as 10% of its, here it comes, $33 billion in foreign reserves from U.S. dollars into Chinese yuan.
Central banks use foreign reserves to manage their own currency value.
So that to me was a...
Now, if we've ever seen a coded message, this is one.
Yeah, of some sort.
$33 billion, there's your magic number.
They're going to convert 10% of it from U.S. dollars into Chinese shekels.
China shekels.
So that's usually how you get into a lot of trouble, by doing that stuff.
Yeah, that seems to be the case.
I'm going to show myself all by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on your agenda in the morning.
We have a few donors that need mentioning, including Christian Herzog in Elwood, Illinois.

I value what you guys are doing and want to help you make it continue by continuing my support.
I've taken on some new roles at work and Karma Shot would be appreciated.

Cool.
I believe I'm going to be the first knight in Gitmo Nation Kielbasa, a country that needs a lot, not only a lot of media assassinations.
I will send you the correct pronunciation of my name in the email, which he just did.
Good idea, by the way.

In the morning, John Nanabig, I'd like to give out a belated birthday shout-out to my wife, Jessica, September 2nd.
Happy birthday, baby.
Considering Fareed Zakaria and parliamentary systems, while I'm not for empire building, it's funny that the cheerleaders for war talk of spreading democracy and American values, yet these countries we invade chose parliamentary systems.
Why don't they model their governments on our system?
Thanks for the greatest The greatest podcast ever And down we go The spreadsheet Stephan Schnabel, Gosport, Hampshire, UK. Been too long since donating.

Yeah, I talked about him.
We met him at the Schick-Shinney meetup.
He drove for two days from upstate New York to come down to the meeting, and he has this real punk rock government.
It's funny.
It's a real raw punk rock song.
I will continue to build virtual billboards in the APB Reloaded Social District and punch people in the mounts.

I accept the credit.
Thank you so much.
Will you vouch for me?
And then finally, Sir Chris Keelan in Brussels.
Keelan.
Dear John, I'm a few episodes behind, but please don't make fun of the Belgian people like you did three weeks ago.
We might not have a government for more than 450 days over a year.
You still shouldn't mock us.
Belgien sind Luca mensen vor wie uns echt will lernen kennen.
You can't even, you're not even seeing the letters properly when you mess it up.
What is it?
You let it, I mean, read it again.
But pay attention.
Very good.
Now that was actually understandable.
Huh.
Good job.
Okay.
What did I say?
I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
Oh, you just said no.
I thought, did you say something bad about the Belgians?
I don't know.
No, no.
What did I say?
What does this mean?
Belgians are really nice people for those of us who take the trouble to get to know us.
Oh, I love the Belgians.
I've watched almost all the Poirot's.
Alright, was that it?
That's it.
And that is Sir Chris Heelan, proud Duke in the barony of Baron Stephen von Pelsmacher's.
Yes, our top patron.
Top patron on this show is a Belgian.
I don't recall you making fun of the Belgians, John.
I think you should not do that.
I don't think I ever have.
I love the Belgians.

If people actually paid attention to what we're doing, we would be writing the next management and building great companies book because the way we do this is no commercial messages, no commercial interruptions.
We don't take any money from anybody except the people who see some value for the value that we're providing to them.
This is the product, what you're hearing right now.
You are not the product.
You are not being sold to anybody.
You are not obligated to give anything back to us.
But when you do, you are guaranteed that the show will continue as long as you do it en masse.
And, of course, we still need more listeners.
Please help us out with that.
And as a part of the model, we block people on Twitter.
We tell them to go away.
We don't listen to what they have to say.
We hate the Belgians.
Oh, my God.
devorac.org slash na Hey.
Bye.
So, of course, we will be knighting Nico DeHaan coming up as Ellen Hirsch DeHaan very kindly gave him a beautiful birthday present.
I guess it was for today's show, even though we do have a show on the 11th.
I just want to make sure that he gets his happy birthdays for the 12th from Ellen.
Congratulations, Nico.
Joshua Pettigrew congratulates his wife, Jessica.
Her birthday was on September 2nd.
And Marty Williamson congratulates his daughter, Rachel, who will be turning 18 on September 10th.
Congratulations from all of your buddies here at the show that turns you away.
It's a new agenda show.
Oh, crap.
What did I do there?
It's your birthday, yeah!
Oh, brother.
Thanks.
I'm having one of those moments here.
Yeah, it was really good.
Draw your blade, Dvorak!
Here.
Nice.
Nikola Han, step forward, my friend.
Kneel and extend your finger.
The same goes for Nikola Lajinsky.
I think I pronounced it properly.
Both of you now are welcome into a very exclusive club as your donations have received the amount of $1,000 or more.
We hereby pronounce the Sir Nico and Sir Nikola.
Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Hot pants and booze right over there.
Join the rest of the crew.
And your rings will be in there.
We have to order new rings, John.
You ignored the email.
You're ignoring the shill.
But if you ignore it, then it just comes to a head.
So we've got to do another order.
Seriously.
Okay.
Hey, I'm in.
Well, then prove it already.
The guy's waiting.
I'm a little behind in my work.
Like the butcher said, he backed into the meat grinder.
Just so people know, John does all the finances on the show.
Well, that's good.
I do the production and everything.
Why are you doing this?
Am I saying something weird?
Is it something wrong?
I was doing like a little blues call and return kind of thing.
You said something.
I'm helping you.
One of our producers sent this in.
I really appreciate it.
I thought it was pretty funny.
Big story on CBS. 60 Minutes about WikiLeaks.
Pay attention.
This is how your commercial media works.
Unlike your No Agenda show, which will gladly block you and send you away.
Since our interview first aired in January, WikiLeaks has continued to release documents on its website, but its donations have fallen off considerably.
Also, a number of websites have tried to copy the WikiLeaks model of soliciting secrets, including several in the mainstream media.
Go to 60minutesovertime.com to hear how the Julian Assange WikiLeaks story almost never happened, sponsored by Pfizer.
By the way, notice there's never a WikiLeak cable about Big Pharma.
Not if it's sponsored by Pfizer.
Exactly!
My point, exactly!
It's all scripted, ladies and gentlemen.
This is why we live in obscurity and in poverty, is because we are not scripted, and we're just calling it as we see it.
Not always right, by the way, but we just call it as we see it.
We're right more often than we're wrong, that's for sure.
So one of the things that we've talked about since 2008 is that ever since there were two inaugurations of President Obama, one in public and then one in private, without any press, That there are actually two Obamas.
Two President Obamas.
There's the one who's gray.
And there's the one that's out in the country going, Hello everybody!
Buenos tardes!
Hey!
Unions are good!
Shared prosperity!
And I have proof that there are two Obamas.
Finally, a CNN report slips up and gives me proof that there are two Obamas.
May I share this with you, John?
Yeah, hit it.
No, I have to read it.
Oh.
Of course, all the good stuff is never on video.
President Barack Obama left for Camp David on Marine One on Friday, but in a twist that has left some White House reporters scratching their heads, he apparently arrived at the presidential retreat by car.
So he leaves on the helicopter, but arrives by car.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney explained the decision not to land at Camp David was made in advance because of the weather.
Marine One landed at an alternate site near Frederick, Maryland, Spook Central, and the President and his daughter, Sasha, rode in a motorcade for the rest of the way to the compound.
However, even CNN concurs there were no signs of stormy weather in the area whatsoever.
The White House confirms there were no mechanical issues with the helicopter.
And people are not understanding.
So the switch took place.
They sent the wrong guy to Camp David to party.
So they had to switch, so they landed in Fredericksburg, and that's when the other guy jumped in the car and drove the rest of the way.
I wonder what he does about the daughters.
Why don't they have duplicates of them?
Who says there are not four of them?
They could be.
They could be drones.
They could be bots.
Well, I don't know, but I think that's a stretch.
I think it's a stretch that they're bots.
Okay.
All right.
It's a little bit of a stretch.
It's possible.
So, another...
This is something that is very important, especially for our sysadmins.
People who care about Facebook and Google and all the crap that they're doing and tracking us.
I just want to explain how this works, but it's very important now.
This is part of our shadow puppet theater.
As yesterday, Facebook announced that Erskine Bowles has joined the board of directors of Facebook.
Now, all the reports are saying, oh, this guy used to be chief of staff to President Bill Clinton.
That's not important.
Erskine Bowles.
Berskine Bowles is a board member of General Motors, Morgan Stanley, North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, and also co-chaired our current president's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.
Sounds like the exact guy who needed Facebook, right?
So let me explain how this works.
It's the same as Google.
Let me tell you about a couple of people in the current administration who come from Google.
Uh...
What's his name?
Summit Agarwal, I have no idea what Nationality Summit Agarwal is, is the Deputy Assistant of Defense for Outreach and Social Media in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense.
Andrew McLaughlin, former head of global public policy and government affairs for Google, yes, that's the department, public policy and government affairs, is now deputy chief technology officer in the Office of Science and Technology.
And Katie Jacobs Stanton is a former Google product manager who was also involved in the company's elections project, is now the director of citizen participation in the White House.
And why is this important?
Because when you are running an election, there's two things you win on.
One is you win on having the most money for advertisements, and we know that President Obama has already said we're going out for a billion dollars this time, a billion, a billion dollars to buy ads with, which is why the media sucks their schlong.
But you need to know the exact demographics of everybody.
And so while we're very concerned about our email being read and about people spying, about locking us up, see something, say something, what's really going on is these companies, first Google, now Facebook, with the shill coming on board, they have departments.
They have government departments where they sell demographic data so that they can...
Better target their messaging to you.
It's all about the advertising.
And here's now Facebook joining that exclusive club by putting the shill on their board of directors.
And this is what no one ever talks about.
Coca-Cola can buy the data.
McDonald's can buy the data.
Why not the Obama campaign?
Well, they're buying it.
But they're forcing it by just putting people in there and saying hi.
And they know everything about you and they know exactly how to talk to you and know exactly how to advertise so that you will elect the president that you deserve.
Well, it's a pretty peculiar pick for a board guy on that company, but you're dead on.
This whole thing is a scam.
But, you know, Facebook has long since been co-opted.
I mean, I remember the report somebody did on Facebook.
They were over at the office and there was the head of the FBI just casually rolling around.
It was in Time Magazine.
Yeah.
It was in Time.
Oh, I guess, look who's here.
It was in Time.
I can probably find that article for you.
It was the Zuckerberg.
It was the big...
Let me see.
Zuckerberg, FBI. I'm going to search.nashownotes.com.
Here you go!
Boom, what do we have?
This is so cool.
Couldn't find it.
Hey, by the way, check that email again, because I think you should have that clip.
Okay.
Let me all check the emails again.
You may just be going to spam, or maybe I've blocked you.
No, no, I look back, and somehow I guess I hit the close instead of send.
I don't know.
It's so hard, this email thing, isn't it?
It is.
Well, it is when you have two buttons right next to each other, that one of them closes it and the other one sends it.
There's two whole buttons!
This is outrageous!
Alright, Thom?
Is that the one?
Thom, yeah.
Well, you're trying to do your research there.
You want me to play it?
Well, first of all, I wanted to give you a little background on this.
Apparently WikiLeaks has some other leak that nobody's really playing up much about some murders that took place during the Bush administrations in Iraq.
But I found that the wording and the actual description of what happened, and tell me, I want you to visualize what he's describing and tell me how this works and play it.
WikiLeaks is out at another heinous war crime committed by U.S. troops in Iraq.
One includes the execution-style killing of a five-month-old infant.
What?
The execution-style...
JC and I were watching this together, and it was just a...
A five-year-old infant?
Five-month.
Five-month?
Wow.
How do you do an execution-style killing of a five...
Okay, kid.
Neil!
Neil.
Oh, God.
Turn around.
So what was the conversation you and Buzzkill Jr.
had?
That must have been funny.
We were saying, what?
It's a five-month-old execution style?
Does this make any sense to anybody?
That's pretty scary.
It's not scary.
It's idiotic.
It's not even possible.
So, what do you say?
By the way, I want to remind people that one of the things that you get out of our show and why you should be contributing is because it makes you get more out of the news.
You get an entertainment level off of some of the stupidities that these people spew, just like it's an eye roller.
That was an eye roller.
Sorry.
I know it's sick.
I'm sure the kid was killed, but it was execution style?
I don't think so.
On the afternoon of November 16, 2010, Mark Zuckerberg was leading a meeting in the Aquarium, one of Facebook's conference rooms, so named because it's in the middle of a huge workspace and has glass walls on three sides so everybody can see in.
Wow.
The door opened.
I need some, like...
The door opened.
A distinguished-looking gray-haired man burst in.
It's the only way to describe his entrance, trailed by a couple of deputies.
He was both the oldest person in the room by 20 years and the only one wearing a suit.
He was in the building, he explained, with the delighted air of a man about to secure ironclad bragging rights forever, and he just had to stop in and introduce himself to Zuckerberg.
Hi, I'm Robert Mueller, director of the FBI. Pleased to meet ya.
This is the guy who got extended, right?
Yeah, against all the laws that were put in place to keep somebody from becoming another head of the FBI like J. Edgar Hoover, who was just a nightmare.
So they put all these laws in place, and of course they just, we like this guy, let's leave him in.
So let me just repeat, he was in the building anyway.
Yeah, I was just down there just grabbing some files.
Decided to stick my head in.
I can get some bragging rights.
Hey, Robert Mueller, FBI. Doosh!
So it was...
I'm sorry?
It's just ridiculous.
It was a ridiculous story.
And the fact that the Time Magazine guy just lapped it up.
Yeah.
Sometimes it takes a couple years, but justice will be served.
In 2007, I think 7 or 8, I brought up a topic on a radio show on a radio station called Aero Classic Rock in the Netherlands.
And the story was about the Secretary General of the Dutch justice system.
His name is Joris Demink.
And the story was that he has systematically been raping and abusing children, not only in the Netherlands, but also in Turkey.
And not only was I taken off the air, but the entire station is gone.
Their license was revoked.
Their financing dried up.
And it's gone.
Gone.
Within three months after the statement.
On the 5th of September, it looks like I'm going to be right.
Two Turkish men have formally charged the Secretary General in the Netherlands, and the Justice Department is going to have to open up an investigation.
These two Turkish men say that, indeed, they were abused by Joris Demink when they were 12 and 15 years old.
So, we'll see if justice is served, but it's always interesting to note that something that I picked up on five years ago is now finally coming to the forefront.
And you managed to get the station shut down.
Yay!
Good job.
Good work.
This, by the way, is another reason we have to go to the donation mall is because I'm working with Adam Curry.
Hey, man, tell me about that show you're working on.
Yeah, it's really good.
I'm working with Adam Curry.
Oh.
Oh.
I hope it's not out of some radio station because they'll be shutting that thing down shortly.
You still got power?
You still got water at your place, man?
Yeah.
Hey, by the way, you sent out a nice letter.
We both sent out a nice letter to everybody, to the producers who are on the mailing list.
If you're not on the mailing list, you need to get on it.
Please get on the mailing list.
And there was a really nice illustration there from Jay's forthcoming book, and I want you to talk about that, because I'm very excited about it.
We talked about this some time ago.
It's going to be the No Agenda ABCs, a kid's book.
And it's going to have all the letters of the alphabet covered by, you know, and the illustration that came in the mail was O stands for opt-out.
And this is something all children should have, the book of, you know, agenda memes that are important, the opt-out being one of them.
And, of course, it shows some sleazeball, you know, pervert feeling up somebody.
And she's a really good...
Illustrator.
It's amazing.
It's great.
She got the whole book done and we just had to piece it together and put the letters and find a little printer.
I remember we were working on that over email.
Right.
We needed just a letter for each or some meaning on each letter of the alphabet.
What's Q? Do we have Q's for Kaida?
I don't know what Q is.
I'd have to look in the list.
It should be Kaida, but I don't think it is.
I think Q is something else.
Let me take a look.
Do you have the list there?
Do you have the list?
Yeah, I have the illustrations and each one has the name.
The thing is, this book, it needs to be updated from time to time because new memes come out.
Like, here's a new one.
Captured or killed.
That's the meme of the day.
That's the new one.
You'll see that in America too, by the way.
Right now it's being used for Gaddafi.
Captured or killed, it's going to be used for anybody.
We've got Q as quarantine.
I think we need to change it to Kaida.
Well, maybe.
I don't know if she wants to go back and do any more drawings.
Do you want to just go down the list real quick and just give us the whole thing?
Yeah, we got Alien for A. That was my contribution.
Yeah, great.
Boots on the Ground, Chemtrails, Douchebag.
Yeah.
Elite, False Flag, Gitmo Nation, Human Resources, In the Morning, Jabroni, Knights, Lucifer Clinton, Magic Number, Nothing to See Here, which is the funny illustration because it's just a blank sheet.
That was the hardest one to do.
Opt out, which is included on the email.
Right.
Pre-crime, quarantine, real news, shut up slave, two to the head, UFO, vaccinations, we need cash, x-ray machine.
You can take that to the bank and zero tolerance.
I think we need to come something else for we need cash because it's just semnature cash.
We need something else for the W. George W. Obama.
What?
George W. Obama.
Well, that's to be a G. It has to be the first thing.
Okay, we can come up with something else for the W. If she wants to do another drawing, otherwise it stays.
No, I'm not doing another drawing.
She got stuck at about 20.
She had six to go and it was like, when are you going to do the six?
Don't be like your parents.
Actually get something done.
Come on, you can do it.
By the way, it's a...
Oh, we got one.
Jay said, Buzzkill Jr.
just came up with a W. What is it?
It's a beauty.
WTC7. Ooh!
Won't go away.
I love it.
That's perfect.
WTC7 won't go away.
All right, so I'm going to have to talk her into that.
That's an easy one.
That's easy.
She can just draw a pile of rubble.
With Giuliani going, I don't know.
Or just pull it.
Or something like that.
Well, luckily, she had enough compliments on the opt-out drawing that I can probably talk her into doing one more.
Nah, that'd be cool if she didn't.
I'm very proud of her.
And Miss Mickey, by the way, is another No Agenda.
So, she started working on the No Agenda Hot Pockets 2008 tour book.
And she's doing it just to get the idea from layout.
She did it in the Apple book creator.
Which has a limit of 100 pages for some reason.
Like, sorry, no more pages for you.
But she actually has closer to, like, really, when you look at it, 250 pages.
So instead of a book, the idea is to turn this into a DVD. And I guess we'll make the DVD available.
And then if you want to buy prints...
I mean, there's so many great pictures of people.
Mainly, I mean, there's a lot of great, beautiful Mickey-like pictures, which are really art, the stuff she does.
Beautiful things, and also broken things that we saw on the tour.
But there's so many pictures of people that I'm sure people want to have some of these group shots and some individual shots.
So I think we'll be making a DVD available, and then you can order prints from the DVD. Sounds good.
Yeah.
Then finally, just from the elite file, that would be E in the No Agenda Primer book for kids.
Former President Bill Clinton celebrated his birthday at Martha's Vineyard over the weekend.
A long-time island visitor who turned 65 last month was joined for the party at Herring Creek Farm's barn by host Linda Rothschild.
Vernon and Anne Jordan and the Rothschild's husband, Sir Evelyn and the Rothschild, all who also have birthdays within the month of each other.
The night included square dancing, dinner, and a surprise performance by Carly Simon and Ben Taylor.
I guess James won't do it anymore.
A surprise performance?
Surprise.
But she just showed up?
Yeah.
Hey, look who's in the audience, ladies and gentlemen.
Come on up, Carly!
Come on up!
Come on up, Charlie.
We got a guitar for you.
Want to play a little song?
Oh, sure.
I think she plays piano.
Now, here's what caught my eye.
Whatever.
Partiers included Hillary Rodham Clinton.
By the way, can you just imagine her square dancing?
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop.
And swing your partner round and round.
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop.
The world's richest man, Carlos Slim.
And here's the interesting one.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and wife Christina Lurie.
And I went, hey, do you know who they are?
Do you know what they did?
Jeffrey and Christina?
Well, before they owned the Eagles?
They produced Inside Job.
Oh, oh.
Exactly.
Oh, oh.
That's exactly the feeling I had.
They actually got the Oscar for Best Documentary.
They produced it.
The freaking elites produced one of, and I have to say it was a pretty good documentary.
It was enjoyable.
So, you know, you think they produced it and then maybe they just have no incentive to go and promote more or do anything.
This is no good.
This is very disappointing to me, actually.
So what was this party about again?
Clinton's birthday.
It was Clinton's birthday?
Yeah.
Bill?
Yeah.
And all the richest douchebags in the world were there.
And these guys are there who produced that movie.
Wow.
Yeah.
They're probably going like, hey, that was great, man.
Good job of misdirection with that movie.
He did that movie and we're still out here.
Carlos Slim has slapped him on the back saying, good work, boy.
Good work.
Yay!
Party!
Come on, Hillary!
Clippity-clop, clippity-clop.
Good job.
Wow.
Yeah, I know.
It's sad.
And I do want to point out that we missed an important movie premiere moment, and this came to me when two running shoes containing what looked like human remains were found in Victoria Monday afternoon, but police think they're a hoax.
Of course, we had Foots in the ocean, noagendafoots.com.
I wish someone would do a hoax and then have the No Agenda logo inside.
Yeah.
Well, it's a promotion and I figure out what it's for.
It's for the new movie Footloose.
We could have figured that one out easy.
Yeah, no brainer.
And then for our final entry, I'd like to play you a clip, John, which was promoted by Hill and Knowlton.
Our friends and friends of the high-speed rail industry, the oil industry, everybody else in between, they'll take anybody's money.
They'll work for Satan if he pays, is literally the chairman's quote.
They're promoting this little creative agency.
You okay?
Yeah.
I thought you fell.
Sounded like you fell over.
Yeah, that's what I'm prone to do while seated.
I don't know.
It could happen.
I just want to make sure you're okay.
You know.
They did a...
So they promoted this video.
Actually, it's more than a video.
It's a series of videos by this small creative agency.
And the agency has come up with something called the Museum of Obsolete.
While our daily lives become more and more digital, some things just vanish.
They simply became obsolete.
Let's remember these items in the Museum of Obsolete Objects.
Okay, the Museum of Obsolete Objects, John.
This is what is being promoted to us slaves.
What do you think is in the Museum of Obsolete Objects?
I would say a vinyl record.
Yes, that's in there.
A typewriter.
Yes, that's in there.
A buggy whip?
Not in there.
Should be.
Yeah.
A horse buggy, maybe?
Actually, a radio is in the Museum of Obsolete, which I thought was...
What?
Yeah, it was borderline.
What?
Borderline.
It's borderline obsolete.
But this one is the kicker.
The incandescent light bulb produced by heating a metal filament wire to a high temperature.
Now they've got this, like a transformer knob, and they're going to turn the knob and light the light bulb, this obsolete filament bulb.
And then they turn it all the way up.
Do they buzz like that?
I never noticed.
I still have these obsolete objects in my house.
But listen to what happens if you mistreat the obsolete object.
Don't try this at home.
Don't try this at home, John.
There you go.
Where did you find this piece of crap?
Well, it was promoted on tweeters by Hill and Knowlton.
I follow the douchebags.
And Robert Leather, I think, pointed out to me.
This is the propaganda.
Ugh, disgusting.
Alright, my friend.
Unless you've got something...
Nope, I'm good to go.
We have the famous September 11th show coming up.
I don't think we've ever done a show on September 11th, but okay.
No, this will be it.
And coincidentally, the 10th anniversary, it'll be unique because there'll be all kinds of hell breaking loose all over the place.
Yeah, Al-Qaeda will be killing us.
Lone wolves who want to make a message, get some attention.
Hey, chat room, is there a No Agenda producer update coming, or do I just kick something else in?
Let me know.
If not, we'll play a Dvorak Horowitz unplugged thing.
It should be worth listening to.
Oh, John, always fun to talk to you.
Well, that was a thrill.
I'm still moist.
And so I'll intend to be back on Sunday?
Yeah, I'll be there.
After checking Dvorak.org slash NA for people.
And we'll see what's what.
Coming to you from Gitmo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California here at the Watchtower.
Hey, good morning everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where the traffic is still backed up, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll talk to you again on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
Adios, mofo.
Export Selection
