Pull it!
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, September 11th, 2011.
Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 338.
This is No Agenda.
This is No Agenda.
Hunkering down for the specific credible but unconfirmed threat here at 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 I can tell the Skype connection is going to stink.
Stink, I'm telling you.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
You mean it's going to suck.
The sucking starts now on Skype.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah, well, I had this the other day.
This is Microsoft's firmly in control and now it doesn't work.
Yay!
It's great.
We should call it Skype XP or Skype Vista.
Skype XP. Actually, I think I'm going to use that as a column.
Sure, send me 10%.
I'm sending you nothing.
In the morning to you, John, and happy 9-11.
Happy 9-11 to you and happy 9-11 to all the ships and sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, feet on the beaches, and everything in between.
I want to also...
I forgot my train of thought already.
That's good.
Yeah.
We're working on a vaccine for that.
Yeah, also in the morning, too, all of the human resources who have turned off their televisions just can't take it anymore and are sitting in our chat room all charged up and ready to go to help us assassinate the media.
And, of course, that is at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
In the morning to you guys.
Good to have you all aboard.
So we have Viper teams in San Francisco.
Viper teams!
We've got a Viper team in San Francisco.
We now head over to John C. Dvorak.
John, what's the latest on the streets?
There's Viper teams.
They're all over the place.
They're checking out people's bags to make sure they're not going to blow up BART. Local state and federal law enforcement officials are on heightened alert in the Bay Area this weekend.
Homeland Security counterterrorism teams are highly visible on all Bay Area transportation systems.
They're called the TSA Viper Team and they've been on regular patrol with BART police.
Airport officials say no changes are expected in their already heightened security measures.
Police are also keeping watch on landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge.
Yeah, a friend of mine turned me on to a cool...
Viper Team.
Yeah, Viper Team.
A cool website that plays Manhattan scanners.
So the Manhattan Police Department, North and South, and it plays the Manhattan North on the right speaker and Manhattan South on the left speaker.
And I was listening to it a little bit over the past two days.
John, I swear to God, every ten minutes, it would be like...
$15, $19, a suspicious package over now.
$32, $12, $15, just backpack over there.
It's like...
And literally, counter-terrorism team...
Hey, this is New York City, the amount of junk that is laying around on the street, bags and Macy's bags and old backpacks that people discarded.
It was continuous.
It was just the whole time.
Yeah, well, I'm sure it is.
Counter-terrorism.
So what have they found, Adam?
They must have found something by now.
Yeah, a backpack.
A cool backpack with nothing in it.
This is all part of Lucy's slogan.
And everyone's doing that.
Oh, I see a box.
There's a guy living in that box.
Leave him alone.
So here's last night's news.
The clip's no arrest in New York City yet.
Here we go.
We're going to play it?
Yeah, play it.
It is already September 11th on the East Coast where security is extra tight tonight as officials investigate the latest terror threat against New York City and Washington, D.C. Randall Pinkston is live at Ground Zero with new information about the possible threat.
Good morning, Ann.
Good morning.
We're being told by law enforcement authorities that they have not made any arrests, nor have they confirmed the threat to set off car bombs in New York City or in Washington, D.C. But they are continuing to investigate.
Meanwhile, the stage is set for tomorrow's dedication of the 9-11 memorial here in lower Manhattan.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
This is the news.
There's been no arrests and there's no new information and there's no confirmation.
That's the news.
Breaking news.
That's the news.
What kind of news is that?
There's no news there.
I caught it in a different way.
Here's the news report that I caught.
The source of the information is not known to us.
But officials say it was developed by the CIA overseas.
It was developed by the CIA. He's saying it right there.
Overseas.
The CIA developed it.
Thanks, CIA! Described both as unconfirmed, but also specific and credible.
How does that work?
That's the most Orwellian speak I've ever heard in my life.
It was unconfirmed, but...
No, no, no, no.
Play that last part again, because it's worth listening to.
Well, he actually mangles it, because what it was is specific, credible, but unconfirmed.
Sorry, the source of the information is not known to us.
But officials say it was developed by the CIA. Sorry, he's literally saying it was developed by the CIA. Am I doing this wrong?
Yeah, he doesn't say...
Yeah, he basically says the CIA invented it.
That's what the word means.
We should put that in their wiki.
Here we go.
Overseas.
Described both as unconfirmed, but also specific and credible.
Right.
So specific, credible, but unconfirmed.
He did it in reversed order.
How can it be specific and credible if it's completely unconfirmed?
John, you are a linguist.
How does it work?
It doesn't work.
Isn't this the definition?
The credibility would imply some confirmation.
Yeah, but...
How do you have those two things existing at the same time?
It's a dichotomy meant to confuse your brain, and it works.
Bull crap is what it is.
But it's Orwellian speak.
Would you disagree?
I would have.
I couldn't.
I mean, I don't know.
Yeah, I think it is.
I mean, because they're obviously saying two things that are self-contradictory.
Right.
Specific, credible, but uncomfortable.
Trying to confuse and scare the public.
Oh, and it's working.
What's the point of putting the CIA in?
Why do they want credit so much?
I mean, when did the CIA have a public relations operation going on?
That's all they are.
Gutbutt or whatever his name is.
Gutfeld.
Gutbutt.
And he's got this guy on his, you know, his title underneath is ex-CIA operative.
Yeah, yeah.
Gut butt.
Let me finish this.
This gets better.
U.S. officials say tonight the plot was initiated by al-Qaeda's new leader.
The new leader, the new CEO! This is like we got a new CEO at Apple, and he's got to make a stand.
So that's why this is all to give this guy credibility.
Ayman al-Zawari, who has pledged to avenge the death of Osama bin Laden.
Officials tell ABC News the plot involved three individuals, including at least one who is a U.S. citizen.
Oh!
U.S. citizens!
That's a lone wolf, baby!
The officials say the plot involves some kind of vehicle bomb was aimed for some time between September 10th and 12th.
What could that be?
What's between 10 and 12?
Oh, 11!
With either New York or Washington.
I love the little digital readout on the screen.
They got it all produced with like, you know, like a DOS prompt.
Minority report, really.
Target.
The three reportedly traveled from Pakistan's tribal areas...
Oh, we have a little graphic, infographic of a plane flying...
...at Al-Qaeda's stronghold through Dubai...
The stronghold.
What is a stronghold?
Through Dubai again.
What is a stronghold?
A stronghold means there's a lot of guys there and they're holding it...
The stronghold.
Hey, if that's a stronghold, let's go there and bomb them right now.
Send the drones.
Well, right, we got predator drones.
Yeah, go to the stronghold.
What are you waiting for?
To the U.S. in mid-August.
Al-Qaeda Central in Afghanistan.
This is Richard Clark.
In Pakistan.
It's probably down to a few hundred people.
But it doesn't take many people to do this kind of attack.
It doesn't take many kind of people to do this kind of attack.
Alright, so this did, I have to say, brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant.
The President came out with his speech, which we also have to talk about.
His job speech.
And just as everyone's getting ready to analyze this piece of crap speech that he did, this waste of time, definitely an hour of my life, I'll never get back again, They, boom, throw out the Al-Qaeda specific, credible, unconfirmed threat.
Everyone's confused.
Like, oh, they're not analyzing their speech.
They're throwing Valerie Jarrett on the talk about the jobs thing.
Whatever they can.
And then what does the president do, ladies and gentlemen?
It went straight to the floor, straight to Congress.
Listen to this from C-SPAN. The Chair lays before the House a message.
A message!
Message!
Message!
We have a message.
with this provision, I have sent to the Federal Register the enclosed notice stating that the emergency declared with respect to the terrorist attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001 is to continue in effect for an additional year.
The terrorist threat that led to the declaration on September 14, 2001 of a national emergency For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue in effect after September 14, 2011, the national emergency with respect to the terrorist threat.
Signed, Barack Obama, the White House.
Thanks for the sound effect.
So what this means is that the National Emergencies Act is continued for another year, and according to the Book of Knowledge, at least two constitutional rights are subject to revocation during this state of emergency.
One, the right of habeas corpus, and the right to a grand jury for members of the National Guard when in actual service under the Fifth Amendment.
So habeas corpus, once again, off the books.
And the thing that's weird is that...
And remember, people should be reminded what habeas corpus is.
It means you have to actually prove crime was committed.
Yeah, you've got to prove that you did something before you arrested somebody.
There has to be some evidence.
There has to be a body.
But that's so annoying.
Let's not have any of that.
We can't just pick people up if we've got that habeas corpus Christi stuff.
That's horrible.
But the thing that kind of killed me about this is that the National Emergencies Act has a provision in it which is set specifically to limit this state of emergency for two years so that a president can invoke it indefinitely.
But this is total bull crap because all the guy has to do is just write a letter, have some douche read it on the floor, and then it's just extended again.
So in other words, this is supposed to have ended in what, 2013?
No, no, no!
2003?
No, in three days from now.
No, I know, but it was supposed to have ended two years to begin with, right?
Oh, yeah, no, of course, it was supposed to end September 14, 2003, correct.
Yeah, three, and so that was extended?
Yeah, extended.
That's five, six, extended, extended, extended, extended, extended, and now it's extended again, and extended again?
Yeah.
Why?
Because that habeas corpus Christi thing is annoying.
That's all I can say.
Oh, so I see.
So the big liberal Obama who got in office with all these promises that we're going to do this and that and the other thing.
And one of the things that all the Democrats were complaining about all along was the elimination of habeas corpus among other civil rights violations of the American public that had nothing to do with this terrorism.
Yeah, that stuff.
Oh.
Yeah, that stuff.
So he's actually, he's Bush, just like they said, somebody told me.
George W. Bush.
You know, if I voted for McCain, it would be another George Bush all over again, and I voted for McCain, and indeed, I've got another George Bush all over again.
Sorry, that's an old joke.
By the way, I've heard that joke be redone.
It's originally a Mark Hatfield joke from the 60s, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh my goodness, there's nothing like a Mark Hatfield reference on the show, and maybe I'll look it up later.
There's another little thing about where words matter that has really started to bug me.
And I heard this, someone sent me a clip of Lucy Napolitano on the Andrea Mitchell show.
Is that a talk show, a talk radio show?
Yeah, I think Andrea Mitchell is a, well it could be, but I think she's an ABC correspondent.
She's one of the big shots.
She's a stooge.
Hold on a second.
I think she's married to, isn't she the one married to that ex-Federal Reserve guy?
Oh, wait a minute.
Would you look that up for a second?
You know.
Can you consult the Book of Knowledge?
Yeah, I can.
Hold on a second.
I'll look too.
You know, it was the guy just before Bernanke.
The other guy there.
Bernanke.
Bernanke?
The pre-Bernanke.
Pre-Bernanke.
You look that up, and let me play this little clip of Lucy Napolitano and Andrea Mitchell, who's a total stooge.
And the word annoyed me so much, I looked up the definition.
Is there any chatter now as we approach this anniversary?
There has been a lot of talk about plans that Bin Laden himself may have had or launched before he was killed.
What should we be concerned about in the days and weeks ahead?
Well, we know from what was found in the compound that this 10th anniversary was somewhat of an iconic date.
But there are other iconic dates that we find in the course of the year, and there's always some chatter around it.
And so we work with, not just within DHS, but with all of the other intelligence community to track that down and follow it up and make sure that we're keeping the American people safe.
Is there increased chatter or anything right now that should be concerning?
Well, there's increased chatter.
Chatter.
I'm sick and tired of this word chatter.
What is chatter?
Verb.
To talk rapidly or incessantly about trivial matters.
Or noun.
Incessant trivial talk.
In other words, trivial crap.
It means nothing.
According to Webster's, Chatter is incessant trivial talk, which means nothing.
It's just bullcrap.
Why are we taking that seriously?
I mean, words matter in this.
She's just saying it.
We heard some incessant trivial talk and we thought, well, we gotta go spend some money on some more security stuff.
That's basically, to deconstruct what she said, that's exactly what she said.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
That's what I was thinking.
I finally looked the word up.
I'm like, what is this chatter crap?
Now, there was one other thing that happened.
By the way, it's Alan Greenspan.
It is Greenspan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, of course, she's a shill.
She's an elite.
She's on the inside.
There's something else that happened.
NBC, by the way, not ABC. I was wrong.
The president also, he was so busy.
He was doing a speech about a bill that has to be passed, which he has to write.
And then he, of course, extended the National Emergencies Act.
And he issued an executive order.
Ah, your specialty.
It is my specialty.
We need a jingle, ask somebody to do a jingle about the new executive order uncovered by Adam Curry.
Uncovered.
All you have to do is look at whitehouse.gov.
I subscribe to the RSS feed.
Unfortunately, that seems to be too hard for our journalists in the mainstream media.
Impossible.
How do you do that?
What is RSS? RSS. What is that?
Technology.
Executive Order.
Developing an Integrated Strategic Counterterrorism Communications Initiative.
And I've highlighted two pieces of this.
Identifying current and emerging trends in extremist communications and communications by Al-Qaeda and its affiliates.
By the way, they spell Al-Qaeda A-L-Q-A-I-D-A. Yeah.
Which is a whole different group as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah, it's a different group.
Everyone else spells it with an E, but they do it apostrophe I. And it's affiliates and adherents.
in order to coordinate and provide thematic guidance to U.S. government communicators on how best to proactively promote the U.S. strategic counterterrorism narrative and policies and to respond to and rebut extremist messaging and narratives when communicating to audiences outside the United States, as informed by a wide variety of government and non-government sources, including non-governmental organizations, academic sources, and finished intelligence created by the intelligence.
Now, so this is a mandate.
It's a big one.
It's very long.
There's a lot more to this executive order.
Of course, you can find it.
It's always linked in the show notes.
338.nashownotes.com But Lucifer Clinton wasted no time in taking immediate action on this.
And she's now...
Her techno experts are now officially a department.
fully funded.
We're good to go.
And I pulled a little piece from her speech from yesterday where she announced this and And she actually is so brazenly...
The hubris of this woman, Lucifer Hillary Clinton, she's telling us exactly how they're doing it.
It is beyond belief, and I'd like you to listen to it.
It's a little long in this clip, but it really shows you what our happy 9-11 day is actually bringing us.
It is a police state, a security grid closing around the slaves of the Gitmo nations, and it is the techno experts infiltrating the rest of the world, starting crap with our tax dollars.
One of the first things I did after arriving at the State Department was to appoint a special representative to Muslim communities around the world and to step up our engagement in the most crucial media spaces.
We put our people, especially Arabic, Urdu, Dari speakers on key channels like Al Jazeera.
Oh, really?
Did I hear that properly, John?
Wow!
Okay, you win again.
This is two in a row.
This is clip of the week early in the show.
Both times it was Hillary.
I think what you really nailed here, what you mentioned a little earlier, they're so self-assured that they can brazenly...
Brazenly, that's the word.
Brazenly, blow out exactly what they're up to.
This is reminding, for football fans out there, this reminds me of the old Green Bay Packers back in the 60s where they would always say, oh, they're going to show you what they're going to do and you can try to defend it, but they're going to do it anyway.
Yeah.
Which is the way, you know, which is like, wow, they could show you what they're going to do and then they do it.
You can't stop them.
I love how you keep the people interested by it with a sports reference.
That's highly appreciated.
That's very good.
But it gets better.
Others to explain U.S. policies and counter at least some of the widespread misinformation out there.
There was this idea that it would be a waste of our time to go on channels and go on to websites to refute and rebut what was being said.
Rebut!
We're in a fight.
And I'm not going to let people say things about us that are not true.
God damn it!
Excuse me.
I did not mean to take the Lord's name in vain, but wow!
That's exactly what she should have added to that.
You know, if they want to say things about us that are true, we'll explain that.
If they want to say things about us that are true, we'll explain that.
Okay?
What does that mean?
I don't know!
Stuff.
You're a douchebag.
Okay, yeah, I am.
Let me explain why.
Let me explain that.
You have a vaginal irrigation sack.
Go on, you know, channels and go on to websites to, you know, refute and rebut what was being said.
Look, we're in a fight.
And I'm not going to let people say things about us that are not true.
You know, if they want to say things about us that are true, we'll explain that.
But to make up stuff...
You're making up stuff!
Stop that!
You mean Al-Qaeda?
You're not making up stuff.
Accusing us of things that are totally outlandish and outrageous was just unacceptable.
Like doing this.
Yeah, like bombing people.
Yeah, like infiltrating media channels.
The tweeters.
She's going to tell us all about it, too.
This is the only way we will get into the conversation where it matters most, and we have to show up.
I sometimes get asked by members of Congress, I saw an American diplomat on X, Y, or Z. Why?
Because that's where people are.
That's where we need to be.
I make no apologies.
That's where the people are!
That's where we need to be!
I have apologies for that.
It is with this in mind that we developed and launched the new Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications.
Okay, write that one down.
The Center for Strategic Terrorism Countercommunications, LLC. Wait, wait, what was it again?
I think it was the new, now I lost it.
Go back.
The new Center for Counterterrorism Things.
I make no apologies for that.
It is with this in mind that we developed and launched the new Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications.
Did you get that?
Strategic Counterterrorism Communications.
Now, here's what they do.
...on undermining the terrorist propaganda and dissuading potential recruits.
The center is housed at the State Department, but is a true whole-of-government endeavor.
It has a mandate from the president.
There you go!
I can do it, because the press said I gots to do it, and here it is in writing in this executive order.
And as part of this effort, a group of tech-savvy specialists...
Tech-savvy specialists...
How's my tech-savvy specialist?
I wonder if that includes guys like Vic Kundra and his talking in binary COBOL. I think she is.
And having the holodeck of the Enterprise.
No, it was the attack vectors.
Remember that?
No, no.
It was jump logic.
Skip logic.
It was skip logic attack vectors.
I don't remember attack vectors, but okay.
Hold on a second.
Someone just asked me for that clip the other day.
Here it is.
It was one of your clips.
I'm going to play it for you right now.
It was Vivek Kundra.
This is worth it.
Tech-savvy.
The tech-savvy Vivek Kundra.
The very tech-savvy Vivek Kundra.
Let me see.
Did I mess that up?
Oh, here it is.
Yeah, here it is.
Hold on a second.
This will be funny.
It's Vivek Kundra.
Of course, he's no longer there, but...
Oh, yeah, I don't think he's out yet.
He quit, but he's not...
No, he's gone.
He's gone.
Let me answer that question with a question, which is, you know...
Question with a question.
How can people feel so comfortable when it comes to voice, right?
Right.
So if we look at our voice networks, and one of the things that I usually push back on...
It is somehow treating cloud again as this magical, special thing.
If you look at the government, we already have over 4,000 systems.
They're not government-owned and operated.
They're being operated by third parties, Lockheed, Raytheon, Boeing, Deloitte, and so forth.
I think what we need to be able to do is make sure within our current construct that as we move to the cloud, we'll create an environment where we're becoming more secure.
We're trusting and verifying in terms of what are the security measures.
I think there's this false sense of security right now.
Where people feel like they signed some type of document and it's a certification and we are secure.
In this new world, you're going to need to have real-time dashboards telling you what the attack vectors look like and what we're doing.
I told you!
Dashboard.
Yeah, it's because when the word dashboard, which is so stupid, comes up, I blank out.
I missed attack vectors.
He said attack vectors, telling us what the attack vectors are.
Anyway, back to Lucifer and her wings.
By the way, I'd like to see a dashboard that shows me the attack vectors.
That would be a pretty nice product.
You know what?
We should just market that.
We should just say, hey, we could make billions with the government.
An attack vector dashboard.
Yeah.
This is our AVD product, which we've been developing for many years.
It's the Attack Vector Dashboard.
AVD. I like that.
We've already got the acronym.
AVD. Alright, so back to the winged monkeys flying out of Hillary's butt, which are tech-savvy experts.
Fluent in Urdu and Arabic.
So they're fluent in Urdu and Arabic.
Yay!
That we call the Digital Outreach Team.
Oh!
It's the DOT, our digital outreach team.
They have DOTs.
They are very, with a technique, savvy, I'm sure we call them DOT. Did you get the joke?
The DOT joke?
That's why we call them digital outreach team.
Contesting online space, media websites and forums, where extremists have long-spread propaganda and recruited followers.
With timely posts, often of independent news reports, this team is working to expose al-Qaeda's and extremist contradictions and abuses, In other words, they're on the tweeters spewing stuff from a propagandistic standpoint.
And I doubt that they have a little emblem on their tweeter icon that says U.S. State Department dot team.
I doubt that somehow.
This is Andy Carvin, by the way.
So now that gets better.
Including its continuing brutal attacks on Muslim civilians.
Mm-hmm.
This effort is still small, but it is now growing.
Take, for example, a short video clip that the team put together earlier this year.
First, we hear a recording of al-Qaeda's new leader, Zawahiri, claiming that peaceful action will never bring about change in the Middle East.
Then we see footage of protests and celebrations in Egypt.
So, if I'm to understand this correctly, the defense, what was it, the DOT team, Put together a video of the Al-Qaeda CEO saying, you know, we've got to go kill Americans.
And then right after that, they put footage of rioting people in Egypt.
Is this right?
It seems that you're inciting riots.
Am I crazy?
Well, I don't know if you're crazy or not.
That's another issue.
Thanks, pal.
The...
I'm not getting what the messaging is here.
Well, let's have her explain it to us.
The team posted this video on popular websites and stirred up a flurry of responses.
Like, Zawahiri has no business with Egypt.
We will solve our problems ourselves.
By rioting!
...wrote one commentator on the website EgyptForum.
I love that.
A commentator.
It's called a comment.
You schmuck.
A commentator.
Another on Facebook said, those are people no one listens to anymore.
Now, we won't change every mind with these tactics, but we know from extremists in our own country that they are recruited by and influenced by websites.
Websites.
So we're going to do everything we can to be in that fight for their minds.
And then later she talks about her partners.
We do this with our partners.
Yeah, your partner's Facebook and Twitter.
Well, Facebook in particular.
You can just be neutral and let these guys do their own thing.
She's so tech savvy that she obviously doesn't realize that most of this won't work.
If it's directed like that, it just doesn't work.
The way the net works, the way...
I mean, everyone's so cynical, especially these commentators, that it's just going to be...
And once somebody discovers it's like that phony lesbian that was blogging in Iraq or Syria or Egypt someplace, and it was some guy in London, it was busted, Luckily, that didn't get blown out of proportion, but that could have been embarrassing.
All this is going to do is embarrass the United States.
There's no way they can do this correctly.
Not with her running the show.
Well, no, but I think the point is, this is what she's telling us, and of course, there's a lot more going on.
The fact that she's even talking about it is ridiculous.
There's a lot going on.
What is the point of that?
To make herself powerful and look cool and look hip.
I mean, you've seen this a million times, John.
Remember when the internet just started?
And people would be throwing out all kinds of words and cool and awesome and revolution.
We've got a whole team.
We've got hackers.
Before people figured out that it was like a science to engineering software executives, some who you and I both know, Yeah, we got a whole room full of hackers.
They're really cool.
Look, they got hair that's left and pink.
They got piercings.
She's still stuck in that.
She's still stuck in that.
Hello, Hillary.
1993 is calling.
We want our stupid internet and our cool techno memes back.
This is your government.
I'm wearing my slave t-shirt today.
What's it say?
It's a slave.
With a barcode.
This is one of the No Agenda Nation t-shirts.
Oh, right.
It's noagendanation.com.
It's my favorite t-shirt.
It's for a plug-in.
Well, yeah.
I'm a big-ass slave.
Anyway, so all of this is kind of weird if you take into account that...
And I didn't know this.
In the United States Code Title 18,2339B, there is a provision that states...
It is unlawful conduct to provide material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations.
And there's this guy from Virginia.
He has an unfortunate name, Joubert Ahmad.
I mean, dude, strike...
Another good reason to change your name to Alex Smith.
Something or other.
He was charged with providing, quote, Yeah, that's one of the two or three of the worst groups in Pakistan.
So what did this guy do?
Did he send money or weapons to let?
No.
Was he scouting out targets for the group?
No.
He uploaded a video to YouTube that showed so-called jihadi martyrs and armored trucks exploding after having been hit by improvised explosive devices.
So, screw that!
So he posted a video on YouTube, and they threw him in jail.
Yeah, with no habeas corpus, and it's all under United States Code Title 18-2339B for providing material support or resources, because I guess that's material support.
It's like if you're cheering someone on at a football game, that's support.
And this is not, this is not America.
It's crazy.
So we're not far off.
At least I'm not far off.
Yeah.
I hate these terrorists.
Yeah.
Bastards.
Especially those let guys.
Those let guys are no good.
Those let guys are bad.
Yeah, let it be.
By the way, it's capital L, small e, capital T. Let.
Let.
So anyway, it's screwed up.
Well, you know, you have to wonder, you know, you take that poor schmuck who posted the YouTube video and now he's got his tit in the ringer to say the least.
You'd think that in an advanced society that all you really have to do is just knock on his door and say, hey bud, we're going to throw you in jail if you keep this up.
This is bull crap.
And then leave.
You'll never hear from him again.
He won't do anything.
No.
This is like the difference between law enforcement and policing.
I mean, if you, you know, half the time, you know, what is the point of us setting up stings on some sleazeball who would never commit a crime in a million years, but you set him up, talk him into it, and then he does it, and then you arrest him.
Yeah.
Why don't you just, if you see a guy trending that way, why don't you go up and police the guy and say, hey.
Hey, stop that.
Stop that.
Don't do that, because if you do that, you're going to get in big trouble, you're going to get thrown in jail, you're going to be in Gitmo.
Yeah.
It's okay, I'll never do it again.
That's what would happen.
But no, we don't do that.
We encourage him, encourage the guy to do it, and then you arrest him and throw him in Gitmo.
That's the whole point.
So we have, the United States of America has the most prisoners in the world incarcerated, and we have the most per capita incarcerated, and then we use them as slave labor.
Slaves.
This is terrible.
This is not what we're supposed to be doing.
We don't need slave labor.
I thought you had a very good point on Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged the other day.
You said that we could significantly improve our job numbers if we just counted all the slaves in jail that are working.
We just added three million jobs!
Hooray!
Ten cents a day.
So...
And by the way, I was going to say something about that.
Oh yeah.
It's so easy for them to find the guy who uploaded this YouTube video, yet apparently it's impossible to find out which hackers...
Broke into NBC's Twitter address and said the Ground Zero is being attacked.
A plane is flying into it.
And the reason why is because it wasn't hacked into.
This is a part of a systematic psychological warfare attack against the American people.
Otherwise, it's not that hard.
It's not that hard to find these script kiddies.
They can find this douchebag.
I mean, tell me, excuse me, I could be on Hillary Clinton's techno-savvy expert team.
I do know a thing or two about the internet.
And if you really have this group of script kiddies, as they call themselves, who are doing this, It's not that hard to track them down.
I mean, you've really got to be good to be untrackable when you're doing something like that.
But it's not true.
It's just not true.
Why do they never nab anybody?
Why does lolsex still have their Twitter address still working?
Why is their website still up?
Because it's coming from the State Department.
This is bull.
This is total psychological warfare.
And prove me otherwise.
Well, I think it's hilarious that Hillary comes out and admits to all this activity.
She's looking pretty beat, too.
She's wearing herself out.
I mean, compare her to Lucy.
Lucy looks like she's having the time of her life.
I'd love to see her in her private time, just privately.
I have a prediction for Lucy.
Okay.
I'm putting it in the book, too.
Yeah, good.
She's going to be the CEO of a major U.S. corporation.
The only thing she's actually doing is building this DHS up to such an extreme that she can say that she's managed.
Yes, she's managing it.
Absolutely.
That's all she's doing.
Managing a company this big, and so she now is qualified to be the CEO of GM. Uh-uh.
No, no, no, no.
Yahoo.
Ooh, that would be a good one.
I mean, have you ever seen Meg Whitman and Lucy Napolitano in the same picture?
No.
No.
Well, anyway, she's on the fast track to become a billionaire.
Oh, yeah.
So while everyone in the conspiracy zone, and again, I was a bit disappointed by some of our listeners sending us these reports that PBS censored the president's gaffe about Lincoln starting the Republican Party, and I'm sure you got this email as well, John.
I didn't get one of those.
Right.
You were even copied on a few that were sent to me, so shut up.
I have the clip of Lincoln, by the way.
Alright, so we'll play the clip and then I just want to say something about that.
There's always been another thread running throughout our history.
A belief that we're all connected.
And that there's some things we can only do together.
Together as a nation.
Together!
We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our union.
Founder of the Republican Party.
But in the middle of a civil war, he was also a leader who looked to the future.
So this became a big thing on Drudge Report because what apparently happened is PBS omitted this from their transcript.
And I got this message pretty quickly and I immediately went to the PBS site and it was not omitted.
So whether they changed it...
This is like one of those hoaxes.
They omitted it and no one ever looks.
Yeah, well, that's the first thing I do is I go and take a look at it.
Yeah, people should all do that, by the way.
Why are you doing it?
And so only American Thinker, the guys who apparently discovered it, had a screenshot.
And, you know, I'm sorry.
This, to me, is another psyops operation just to distract you from the fact that this was a total bullcrap speech about a jobs bill that is supposed to be passed right now that he has not even written yet!
It's not a word written down.
I know that's the irony of this whole stupid thing.
Can I mention something that's kind of humorous about the Lincoln reference?
Yeah.
Huckabee, a number of years, I think during the last Republican convention, actually made the same gaffe.
Oh, really?
And he was called out on it in Time Magazine by guess who?
Jay Carney.
Oh!
Really?
Well, it's all the same club.
It's a bunch of bullcrap.
But you're right, this is a nothing to see here moment.
Hold on a second, we should definitely play that.
Go!
Hey, don't look over here!
Nothing to see here!
Hey, look at that!
That was very contrived.
It wasn't very interesting.
So Valerie Jarrett, you know, the person I hate the most.
Now, I have an actual hatred for this woman.
Apparently you do.
I completely forget that she exists until you keep bringing her up.
Well, she was on every single channel right after this.
Oh, the president's real busy because we have this specific...
Well, then why is she on the channel?
What does she do that she would be on a TV station at all?
What is her job?
She's a slumlord.
She owns projects in Chicago, and she is the advisor to the president.
She has some, like, bullcrap title, and she's on the second floor of the West Wing.
But she's his handler.
And if you watch, you'll always see it's the president, the vice president, and Valerie Jarrett.
He does not go anywhere without her because she is his mind-controlling handler.
She takes care of...
She's like, Barack, time to pee.
Okay, Valerie.
Okay.
Barack, time to watch some TV. Okay.
So she's the spokeshole now all of a sudden.
And she's...
I just want to reach out and slap her.
So she goes on Rachel Maddow.
And I threw up in my mouth.
Absolutely.
There's nothing more important to the president right now than getting our economy going, putting people back to work, putting a little extra money in the pockets of folks who are struggling.
Did you hear that?
She said pot.
She stumbled and she said pot.
She's thinking, I need to smoke a joint.
The President wants to put some pot.
She wants to smoke a joint with Rachel.
She wants to put some pot in everybody's, I mean, money in everyone's pocket.
There's nothing more important to the President right now than getting our economy going, putting people back to work, putting a little extra pot, money in the pot.
Come on!
She's thinking pot!
She's obviously thinking pot.
Why would you say pot?
Unless it's on your mind.
Just don't say pot.
I can't wait to lie next to Rachel Maddow and smoke some pot.
That's what she's thinking.
By the way, pot in Dutch is a slang term for lesbian, interestingly enough, as a side note.
I think the message that he made very clear tonight is the Congress should pass this plan, and they should do it right this minute.
Okay, pass this plan, pass it right this minute, which I think the President said 8 million times.
Pass this plan.
Pass it now.
Pass what?
Well, so I'll let her ramble for a second, then I'll fast forward, because I'm throwing up.
But you have to hear about her dream.
And that it's fully paid for.
It is bipartisan in nature.
There are provisions in here that both Democrats and Republicans have supported before.
And there's no reason why we can't move forward right now.
There is a reason.
It hasn't been written yet.
There are benefits in here for small business.
There are opportunities for construction.
In fact, Rachel, I was thinking about you this morning.
When I woke up, I was thinking about you this morning.
I was touching myself.
I woke up, I turned on the TV, and I thought, I finally could smoke some pot with Rachel.
...commercial that you have standing in front of a bridge.
And you're saying that, you know, the private sector can't do everything.
There are certain things that Americans expect their government to do.
Our infrastructure is vitally important.
Putting people back to work.
What?
That's a meme, by the way.
It's an ongoing meme about the government.
Americans expect the government to do certain things.
Oh, and this values thing, instead of rights, it comes back to.
It's crazy, these memes.
But construction is important.
Our roads, our bridges, our sewers, our waterways, our dams.
This is what makes our country so special.
And as we try to compete in this global marketplace...
Have you ever been to Spain?
You want to see some really good roads?
Go to Spain.
You want to see some good bridges?
Go to France.
You want to see some crap?
Go drive on I-95.
What is your road, John?
The one you hate?
80.
By the way, they've paved half of it now.
I won't be able to moan and groan about potholes much longer.
So she rambles on.
We need to rebuild our infrastructure.
We need to rebuild our schools.
We need to make sure that teachers...
So now let's fast forward.
...met with the individual committee chairman, or is he planning to meet with the individual committee chairman?
Is he planning on doing a full court...
Oh, I've got to go back a little.
I went a little too far.
...cross the country, companies are discriminating against people who've been out of work for a long time.
So now remember, we have to pass this bill right now, right now, right now.
This bill has a very important provision where if you've been out of work for over six months, we'll give a company a better...
Out of the work?
Out of the work!
Did you say out of the work?
When you're smoking the pot, you can get out of the work.
You know, it's how it happens.
When you've been out of the work, she's an idiot.
She's a total idiot.
If they will hire you so that we can get the long-term employee back to work with the skills that they need.
And so there's no reason why we can't move forward decisively and promptly.
The President is going to draft the legislation, make the job a little easier for Congress, and set it up there next week.
Next week?
What?
And Rachel goes, next week?
Does?
Yeah, she does.
Next week?
Next week.
Does that mean that the president has a plan for passage here?
Has he met with the individual committee chairman?
Or is he planning to meet with the individual committee chairman?
She's trying to cover it up now.
She's like, my God, it's not even written.
Next week?
Is he going to talk to everybody?
Good work, Rachel, instead of calling her out.
No, of course not.
Rachel Maddow is the worst person in the world.
Douchebag!
I hit her with a douchebag.
So, yeah, I mean, it's so obvious, because she actually, next week?
Does the president, is he going to talk to everyone?
Pass it now, pass it now, pass it now, pass it now, if it's not even written.
Exactly.
Alright, so then to wind up, and then I want to thank some producers.
So the speech that no one watched, and again, it's what we do so you don't have to, is the President's address to the nation.
He does it every single day, every single weekend.
He talks to the nation.
And I have titled this particular clip, and it is saved in the archives, 338.nashownotes.com, as the Presidential Meme Fest.
We will have to stop this clip numerous times.
It's only a section of the address.
Of course, it's all about 9-11 and a very serious president here.
Very serious.
Our extraordinary 9-11 generation.
The 9-11 generation.
This is like the Pepsi generation, John.
Right off the bat, I'm like, what?
The 9-11 generation.
Your son and your daughter are officially part of the 9-11 generation.
Isn't that nice to be called that?
Unbelievable.
At the same time, even as we reflect on a difficult decade, we must look forward.
Another nice alliteration.
Difficult decade.
Made difficult by who?
To the future we will build together.
That includes staying strong and confident in the face of any threat.
And thanks to the tireless efforts of our military personnel and our intelligence, law enforcement, and homeland security professionals, there should be no doubt.
Today, America is stronger, and Al Qaeda is on the path to defeat.
Okay, the path to defeat.
And Al Qaeda is almost dead.
We've taken the fight to Al Qaeda like never before.
What?
Huh?
I think he's going to brag.
I think he's actually going to brag.
Over the past two and a half years, more senior Al-Qaeda leaders have been eliminated than at any time since 9-11.
Booyah!
Booyah, bitches!
I smacked them bitches down!
More than George Bush!
More than George Bush!
I killed more of them!
I killed more!
And thanks to the remarkable courage and precision of our forces, we finally delivered justice to Osama bin Laden.
No, we didn't.
We killed him.
That's not justice.
We killed him.
At least you say you killed him.
But that choice of words is odd.
We delivered justice.
It's like saying, justice, what is it, the slogan?
It's the end of a barren.
At the end of a smoking barrel.
That's justice.
That's the American way.
F yeah, Barack.
We've strengthened the partnerships and tools we need to prevail in this war against al-Qaeda.
Working closer with allies and partners.
Reforming intelligence to better detect and disrupt plots.
Investing in our special forces so terrorists have no safe haven.
We're constantly working to improve the security of our homeland as well.
Homeland?
How about country?
Why did he say homeland?
This is irritating to me.
Our homeland.
No, it's our country.
It's the United States.
I don't think anywhere in the Constitution they talk about homeland.
Call it what it is, please.
You're annoying me.
At our airports, ports, and borders, enhancing aviation security and screening, increasing support for our first responders, and working closer than ever with states, cities, and communities.
A decade after 9-11, it's clear for all the world to see.
The terrorists who attacked us that September morning are no match for the character of our people, the resilience of our nation, or the endurance of our values.
The endurance of our values?
Okay, careful with the values thing.
You better not bring it up again.
Wanted to terrorize us, but as Americans, we refuse to live in fear.
Except from the government making us fearful.
I'm very afraid.
You're doing nothing but making us afraid, douche!
Yes, we face a determined foe, and make no mistake, they will keep trying to hit us again.
Make no mistake!
They will keep trying to hit us again.
Notice the word hit.
It is not attack.
It uses the word hit, which I think is very significant.
Why?
Because hit, it's like hitting the World Trade Centers.
It's like it brings up images.
The word hit is different than attack.
Yeah, maybe.
I think it's significant.
It could be.
I mean, these things are very carefully chosen.
No kidding.
This is a great one.
We're going again this weekend.
We remain vigilant.
Vigilant.
We're doing everything in our power to protect our people.
Oh, everything in our power.
No matter what comes our way, as a resilient nation, we will carry on.
They wanted to draw us into endless wars, sapping our strength and confidence as a nation.
And they did!
And they succeeded!
But no, I think Barack has a point to make.
But even as we put relentless pressure on al-Qaeda, we're ending the war in Iraq and beginning to bring our troops home from Afghanistan.
How can he say the guy must be a bot?
How can he sit there and say that with a straight face?
By the way, he sounds like a gangster as J.C. Buzzkill Jr.
points out.
Hit also means assassinate.
Oh, good point.
Oh, good one.
Buzzkill Jr., good one.
Because after a hard decade of war, it is time for nation building here at home.
Now, hold on a second.
He says it's time for nation building here at home.
In other words, we've been nation building over there.
Which is exactly what everyone says we're not doing.
Well, I've got a little piece about that after we do our donor section, or our producer segment.
Very interesting little thing I came up with.
Alright, then let's thank some producers, and if you want to hear the rest of the clip, and you should always be listening to our president's address.
I don't know how much we can take, because we also have a couple other clips from this guy.
So, by the way, when I get to the New York Times segment, we'll talk about his running again.
All right.
But we do have some executive producers we want to thank profusely because we have a good group of them today, including, and I have to give Sir David Hoffman kudos.
I didn't get a note from him, but maybe he sent something.
But he did send us kind of a standalone donation.
Fantastic.
Yeah, it's a great one.
9-11-33.
I mean, hello.
Could it be any better than that?
Sir David, that was one of the most amusing donations we've ever received.
Fantastic.
And he heads the list for...
It's Sir David Hoffman.
I think he already was a knight, I believe.
No, he is a knight.
He's been a knight.
No note.
This is a night to my heart.
Boom!
Here you go.
9-11-33.
You know what I'm saying.
No note needed.
Eric Gray, who will be a knight, Fairbanks, Alaska, to complete my knighthood in honor of the memory of my dog.
Hold on, I'm going to fix the spreadsheet so I can read it.
Of my dog, my best friend for nine years, poor guy.
550, 555.
You know, I'm reading a book right now.
I'm interviewing the author.
It's a New York Times bestseller.
It's the dog's...
Oh, crap.
What the hell was it?
It's like...
Come on, John.
Help me.
It's a bestseller.
John, there's a million bestseller.
Let me help you.
Mickey, could you grab me that book for a second that's on the couch?
The dog book?
I don't know.
Thank you.
Thank you, darling.
Because it's a really beautiful book.
I'm halfway through it.
On dogs?
Yes, it's written from a dog's perspective.
I was a dog?
I don't know.
My last book written from a dog's perspective was Bulgakov's Heart of a Dog, a fantastic classic written by the great Russian novelist.
Here it is.
Thank you.
I love you, darling.
A Dog's Purpose, that's what it is, by Bruce Cameron.
And it's a novel for humans.
If you have had a dog, if you have a dog, if you love dogs, and also if you dislike cats, this is the book for you.
Dogs are very funny about cats.
Put it on our book list for the No Agenda book.
Well, I'm doing the interview on Wednesday with the guy.
Thank you, darling.
So sweet.
Christian Winter, Black Knight McTank, Venice, California.
Gentlemen, an homage to Bill and Ted.
He gave us $369.
$369.
69, dude.
I hereby anchor the 369 Club.
That'll be 369-er to you.
Which will be a club eventually when we get to 369.
Well, think about what goes on in the Trois-Soissons-Neuf.
At 369.
That's actually a pretty interesting number all around.
Yeah, it is.
And maybe start a trend for variety show numbers.
Also, FaridZakariaSucks.com.
He's got that.
That one we can pass around.
I didn't get that one.
That's awesome.
FareedZakariaSucks.com Ah, you made my day, man.
That's great.
He says, be excellent to each other and party on!
Party on, dude!
Paul, 12, Curry, Dvorak, 16.
Adios mofos, he says.
And then we have...
Adios mofo.
Ba...
How would you pronounce this?
Brunix?
Bas Brunix?
In Belgium?
Bas Brunix.
Bas Brunix in Belge.
345.67.
There you go.
Thank you.
I want to thank him for that.
And I love the Belgians.
No, no.
If you hate them, they seem to send us support.
I tried that with the Indians, but the Indians are so cheap, they won't send us money no matter what you do.
Gary Blatt, Wayne, Pennsylvania.
And this has something to do with...
I don't want to get into it.
Wayne, Pennsylvania, 338, which is today's show.
In the morning, here's my donation for the 338 Club.
Thanks for the wonderful program.
You perform a great service for everyone.
I would like to have some karma for my wife's research and her new books that are being released early next year.
Okay.
Hand that out right away.
You've got karma.
Books are good.
Books are good.
Another member of the 338 Club, Todd Cochran and Coppoli.
Oh, really?
Todd Cochran?
He's from Geek News Central, isn't he?
Well, he says he's from Coppoli or Coppoli.
He effectively, I think, is probably or was certainly a Mevio competitor with his podcast network.
That's very nice.
He's checking in with a...
With some support.
Does he live in Hawaii?
Yes, he does.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
That's Todd.
Yeah.
Cool.
Adam and John have been listening to your show for quite a while now and figured it was time for to pony up to the bar and make my first donation to the Road to Nighthood.
One thing for sure is I need a complete de-douching.
Oh, I'll give that to you, man.
Here you go.
You've been de-douched.
Absolutely.
He also wants to challenge his fellow podcasters to get their wallets out and donate to the show for God's sake.
I want to congratulate you both on what remains a sustainable, user-supported show that is ad-free.
I hope the audience appreciates the freedom that comes with not being beholden to a douchebag advertiser.
My personal show, Geek News Central at geeknewscentral.com, is 90% ad-supported, and believe me, when it comes to my own headaches and annoyances, or contributes to my own headaches and annoyances, as both of you know well, keeping the advertisers happy, as you would know more than me, Adam, is nearly a full-time job in itself.
And it makes your mouth hurt.
My sales manager at Raw Voice is always pulling a hair out, keeping the advertisers happy.
Most do not realize that most ad planners, buyers are in their 20s, mid-20s, and have a huge control freak mentality over the multi-million dollar budgets, and sometimes that power goes to their heads.
Now, this is absolutely true.
No, it's absolutely true.
You know how it usually works?
Here's how it works.
Yeah, I'm going to place this on the network that will get me tickets to the Knicks.
It's total douchebaggery.
The whole system is a scam.
It's unbelievably douchebaggery.
I took a ride when I was writing for Forbes on the big yacht.
The Highlander.
And I went on this thing and it was to kiss the asses of these media buyers in New York City who were the worst.
They're all in their mid-twenties.
None of them read any of the magazines.
They didn't know who the hell I was or why I was even there.
They don't even know what the brands are that they represent.
They don't care.
No, and they do these ad buys depending on how much free shit they get.
Exactly.
And so the little guy, like Todd with his raw voice, who has a nice little stable of podcasts.
I don't even know if it's little, he has a nice stable of podcasts.
He doesn't have the budget.
Let me think.
I don't think he has a yacht.
So who is the douchebag 9-11 generation media buyer going to spend his or her money on?
Let me think.
Maybe I'll go with the yacht guy.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Because I get another ride on the yacht.
Yeah, and then they actually feel like they have to suck up to you a little bit.
Who's that guy?
He writes for them.
Well, I want to be on the yacht again, so I'll be nice to him.
And by the way, the yacht is worth being on.
Woo!
Yeah, I'll bet.
And he has his own chef and the food was delicious anyway.
I wish more listeners to support the shows that they listen to the way they support your show.
I know the massive amount of show prep you guys both must do to prepare for each episode, which is a fact.
And this small donation is worth every penny of enjoyment I have gotten from listening to the information you share, which gives, one, a lot of new perspectives on the world which we live in.
Adam, your status as a podfather is eternal and becoming...
because of your vision on what podcasting could be and what it has become, hundreds of millions of people live, lives have been changed, I'm sorry, by their ability to consume content like this show and mine.
Wow.
It goes on.
Hey, can I ask you a question?
He'll be back with another donation, he says.
That's so kind.
John, did you poop on that yacht?
Did I poop?
On the yacht.
No, you know, now that you mention it, I didn't even go to the head.
I should have.
You're right.
By the way, that yacht has a wine cellar.
Did you poop in the wine cellar?
No, I didn't get in the wine cellar.
It's a very wet wine cellar.
It's like, keep Dvorak out of the wine cellar.
Thanks, Todd.
Okay, Sarah, San Diego, California.
You know, the funny thing is, you know, three-star restaurants in France tend to be, you know, people don't understand that the experience of a three-star restaurant in France includes the bathroom.
Yeah, it's part of the experience.
Yeah, yeah.
It's total.
And you go to some of these bathrooms in these restaurants, you go, oh my God, what a bathroom.
I remember pooping on the MGM Grand Air that flew between New York and Los Angeles.
Remember that?
Was it a gold pooper?
Totally.
The whole thing was gold.
I'm pooping on a gold toilet in the air.
I was irked at I didn't ever get to take that ride.
Did you ever fly Concorde?
No, I missed that.
I flew that four times.
Did you poop on it?
Hell yeah!
What times?
What would be the point?
Let me tell you though, it was not a luxurious poop.
The Concorde was very uncomfortable.
It's like a little tube.
I could barely stand up in the entire plane and the seats are very narrow, although the leg room is nice, and there's no movie.
Or there was no movie because there wasn't enough time to start the movie.
So basically, you just sat there getting warm because at a certain point, about two hours into it, the fuel is depleted and the fuel was actually used, we're talking in the past tense, to cool the aircraft down, which extends in flight, it actually grows.
And to top it off, I had a drunk Liza Minnelli behind me chattering the whole way.
It was annoying.
Life's tough.
At least I didn't pay for it.
Sarah, San Diego, California, 33333, finally hunkering down and donating to the show.
I've been a listener for over two years thanks to my ex-lover, still friend and listener, Baby Bear.
Please call him out as a douchebag.
Yeah, obviously.
Douchebag!
At any rate, I heard John mention that not many people donated to show number 333, which is basically ridiculous considering that it's one of the best shows ever.
It was a good show.
That 333 show, people should go back and download it.
Was that a B? What?
Was it a solid B? I think we gave it a solid B afterwards.
I recall us enjoying actually...
People should know that after the show we do a post-mortem as they call it in the publishing business.
Here's how it works.
It rarely gets a B. Well, that was okay.
I think we did okay.
It kind of sucked.
Yeah, it actually kind of sucked.
You're like the Muppets guys.
Actually, it sucked a whole lot.
How's the art?
God, we got no art.
What are we going to call this thing?
I got some ideas.
I got some ideas.
Hey, by the way, what's Ron doing?
I don't know.
Okay, talk to you later.
Bye.
Laugh my face off, she says.
So awesome.
So here's 333 for every episode before and after.
Big fan always.
Thank you, sir.
And we have one, two, three, four, actually, associate executive producers, including Eric Herschel.
This is screwed up by the type font, so Eric sent us another note.
222222, he says Melrose, I guess.
Sir John Smith in St.
Petersburg, Florida, $200.
He says they normally would have some smart-ass remark to make something like be a donor, not a boner, but I'm just too depressed today.
Today not only marks the day over 3,000 Americans died, but tomorrow will mark the day all of us become suspects.
I got into an argument with the girlfriend over the weekend because I was explaining to her daughter...
That she was growing up in the wrong America.
I know we're not supposed to do that.
It's scary that we're coming up on 10 years of this and we're approaching an entire generation, 9-11 generation.
9-11 generation, yep.
Who has grown up with the undeclared wars for the benefit of corporations, torture, naked body scanners, and an expanded police state.
For that reason, no agenda is more important than ever, not only to give to the show, but to expose the show to more people.
Another ten years of this new America, and we're going to have, by the way, we'll be lucky to be on the air, if it continues.
We're going to have voters who have grown up thinking this new America is okay.
I know we have some Ron Paul supporters.
I'm also giving to Ron Paul and has affected my no agenda donations.
But please do not forget John and Adam over the next 12 months.
Thanks, guys.
Hope to deliver a 3K night show.
Third night.
Third night to you soon.
And that's Sir John Smith in St.
Petersburg, Florida.
That's so incredibly nice.
And just a tip to Sir John, maybe not refer to her as the girlfriend.
Chicks don't like that.
Just saying.
The girlfriend.
Well, he's probably irked.
Why don't you give him a karma?
He needs it.
Yeah, for chick stuff.
Yeah, I hear you.
You've got karma.
And finally, Austin Voss in Calgary, Alberta, and Todd Montgomery in Morgantown, West Virginia, $200 each.
And that will wrap up our very generous producer segment today.
We want to thank each and every one of them.
Make sure you go to NoAgendaShow.com, Dvorak.org, slash NA, ChannelDvorak.com, slash NA, or NoAgendaNation.com to continue helping us out.
Dvorak.org, slash NA. Sorry, I stepped on you.
Didn't mean to do that.
And, of course, I'll be in Brazil next week, so the Thursday show could be moved to, uh...
Ooh, to what?
I don't know.
I have to get there and see if I can get a connection and what my time schedule's gonna look like.
Might be Wednesday night, maybe, or...
I don't know.
I'm having my dental work done Wednesday.
So he talks like this and homotype?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so we don't actually, so in other words, you haven't actually figured out the times yet because you're just too lazy to do it?
No, because I don't know what, I won't know until I get there what my situation's going to be.
Right, but you do know when you're arriving and we could potentially do the show Thursday morning.
Yeah, I'm arriving tomorrow, so you want to do the show tomorrow?
I don't think so.
No, what's the time difference?
I think the time, I think it's New York plus one.
Oh, really?
So it'd be 1 o'clock.
I would be at 1 o'clock and you'd be at the normal time.
Oh, really?
Well, that's great.
No, it is great, except if I might have a plane to catch or something.
I don't know.
We'll work it out.
People follow me, TheRealDvorak on Twitter.
I'll put a note up.
Okay, good.
Thank you to the following.
Thank you to people for our PR initiatives.
Once again, some good stuff here.
A couple of great domain name forwards.
Crackpot and Buzzkill2016.com.
Now forwarding to the NoAgendaShow.com website.
Following along with that, a couple of suggestions.
One of our producers, Vincent from Limerick, Ireland, says, I think you should run in the Irish presidential elections coming up in October as a dry run for 2016.
You don't have to be Irish, turns out.
To become the President of Ireland.
And we would have the power to refuse the dissolution of Parliament, refer legislation to Supreme Court to test the constitutionality of legislation, and hang out in tents and bunga-bunga parties with world leaders.
You know what the bunga-bunga reference is, don't you?
No, I don't know it.
Oh, that's the Berlusconi thing.
Berlusconi, all of Italy is talking about is bunga-bunga parties.
It's like a sex party.
It's called the Bunga Bunga parties.
Really?
Yeah, so we can hang out in tents and Bunga Bunga parties with world leaders.
I think we have a winning idea.
I'm liking it.
I'm all for it.
That is totally rocking.
And Bob Major says, if you aren't steeped in the baseball tradition, you'll want to bone up on your pitching skills because every president since Taft, with the exception of Jimmy Carter, threw out at least one ceremonial first ball or pitch.
And I think I'm going to defer to my vice president for that in 2016.
I can throw a fastball.
Yeah, when we sweep it.
And I sure don't throw like Obama.
It's like a girl.
Nationalpublicpodcast.com.
Great one.
I like that.
MPP, now forwarding to noagendashow.com.
Disturbedcitizenry.com.
Here's a fun one.
When you read it, you understand that A-L-C-A-P-W-N and A-L-C-A-P-W-N-D. Al Capone and Al Caponed.com.
And some one I can't believe was available.
Thekeystonepipeline.com.
She's now forwarding to our show.
Fantastic.
Yeah, that's good, isn't it?
And then finally, it looks like we can start a show on Leo's network as we now officially own the internet web presence, thisweekinsquirrel.com.
I think that could be a pretty fun show.
And thanks to...
I've got to see who wrote this.
This was a nice PR move by Nick Brown, who wrote a blog post on biggovernment.com, which I think gets a lot of traffic.
Isn't that the Andrew Douchebag site?
I don't know.
Yeah, big government.
That's the guy who's always like busting...
It's so Breitbart.
Yeah, Breitbart.
That's the guy.
Yeah, it's Breitbart.
But they gave us credit.
Yeah, yeah.
Unlike the Spag Rush Limbaugh.
So it's Department of Homeland Security, no return to pre-9-11 freedom ever.
And it goes down here.
So what we take from it is this.
Janet Napolitano...
Audio, click to play.
Telling us that we will never again have pre-9-11 freedom in the United States.
The clip comes from the No Agenda podcast in which Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak dissect the modern media message.
And he actually put this little clip in from our show, which I thought was...
Okay, well, I've got...
If you thought the other thing was the clip of the day, I got one.
Oh.
So this is an interesting question, and Napolitano answering the question about what can happen, what's the future going to be like.
This is Judge Napolitano, not Lucy.
No, this is Janet, Lucy.
Oh, it's Lucy.
Can you imagine someone just checking this out for the first time?
Hearing the Lucy meme.
Like it is.
I mean, the clip sounds like, you know, because, right.
Well, she sounds like Judge, but it's Lucy.
So this is going to be...
I come across like a real hater, don't I? It's an elaborate question, and she's going to tell you the answer real.
Thank you very much.
Since 9-11, as you mentioned, you've seen an expansion of the government powers to protect American citizens from the threat of terrorism, as well as an expansion of bureaucracy, whether that be through the FISA amendments or the Patriot Act.
Could you sketch out a scenario when you think the federal government would not need some of those extraordinary powers and a scenario when, in some cases, the United States could return to a pre-9-11 footing in terms of the powers of the U.S. government?
No.
People are laughing.
I'm Oh my goodness.
That wasn't edited?
That's literally her answer?
That was exactly right.
I was thinking it because it was such a long pause.
I was thinking of clipping that out, but I decided to leave it completely unedited.
So that's it.
No.
Forget about it.
It's it.
We're here for the long haul.
Sorry, I gotta go.
So that was a pretty cool PR move.
I didn't realize they ran the whole thing.
I thought they just took it from the show notes and ran the little clip.
No, no, that's what made it so awesome, because now you get a taste, a little lick of the show.
So that helps.
I think that's great.
Yeah, we need more of that.
We do.
We gotta get you on coast to coast.
Yeah, but I wouldn't know what to talk about.
Yeah, you could talk about the Stargate.
I listen to guys on there who talk about the Stargate who actually know what they're talking about.
No, you know more than any of these guys.
I listen to that show all the time.
Most of these people are actual lunatics.
They are certifiably insane.
You at least have some sanity.
Okay, thanks.
That's my pal, everybody.
Okay, well, yeah.
Let's come up with a topic that I can actually drone on about.
Well, I'm pestering Lois, our PR woman, to...
Yeah, but I mean, I need to...
I mean, not just Stargate.
That's no good.
Oh, then what?
I mean, you go on about these things on the show.
You can talk on the Nori show and talk about...
But he talks about other stuff.
How about just talking about the media being all cockeyed?
Yeah, that's what I'll do.
I'll talk about the techno experts.
The techno-experts.
That's a good one.
Yeah, about Hillary's techno-experts.
I'll have a couple of clips, and I'll play them down the line for him.
All right, everybody, start spamming that guy.
What's his name?
George?
Nori.
George Nori.
You've got to have Adam Curry on.
The guy's awesome.
Yeah.
He'll be a great guest.
He's very entertaining.
And while we're at it, get me on Leo's show again.
Oh, yeah, right.
Why not?
I'm good.
You have to go.
For one thing, he wants you in the studio now.
Oh, I'm going to go on Molly's show on Buzz Out Loud.
She's good.
Oh, good.
There you go.
That's good enough.
On the 21st.
So I'm in town the 20th.
You're back, right?
From Brazil, so we can have a dinner?
Yeah, I should be, yeah.
Right.
And then that's Tuesday.
I'm coming in town just to have dinner with you.
And then Wednesday, I'm going to do Buzz Out Loud with Molly.
And then I have a stupid meeting.
And then I'm going to fly back so I can do the show from here on Thursday.
So we don't have to deal with that crap.
Hey, thank you everyone for those PR moves.
We highly appreciate it.
Cannot get enough of that.
In fact, we could use a lot more.
And to our executive producers and associate executive producers, thank you so much.
This is the level of support.
If we could get this for every single show, you would never hear me bitch.
I would be just so happy, and it really lifts my spirits to see this.
I know we sent a mailing out, and I know it's like a special number day and all that, so...
Let that every week be a special number day and consider being a donor, a supporter of the No Agenda podcast.
You can always do something very important, which is to go out and propagate our ever-important message.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
I'm wearing the t-shirt today.
Shh.
Shut up, slave!
Dvorak.org slash NA. So I'm scanning around C-SPAN, and I run into this guy.
I thought it was kind of a British twit at first, but I got to appreciate his talk.
His actual name is Rory Stewart.
He's a member of Parliament, and he was speaking in Washington, D.C., or somewhere, some bookstore.
There's book TV on C-SPAN on the weekends.
On C-SPAN 3.
Yeah.
He did a book called Can Intervention Work, which is a really interesting book, but he had this very short little commentary that I just thought was amusing, which will lead me to something curious that I discovered in doing a little research on the guy.
But play the clip of The Decisive Year where he talks about how there's a ridiculous amount of optimism within the military, which just screws up the public's perception of reality.
I was making a joke earlier about the fact that I've found, since 2005, the most extraordinary sequence.
David Barno, coming in 2004, saying that he's inherited a dismal situation, but he has a new strategy, a counterinsurgency strategy requiring new resources.
This is about Afghanistan.
2007, Major General Shampoo, the decisive year.
2008, I mean we keep going almost endlessly.
2009, General Stanley McChrystal, we are knee-deep in the decisive year.
2010, Dave Miliband, the British Foreign Secretary, the decisive year.
2011, this year, Guido Vestavelli, the German foreign minister, this will be the decisive year.
I love that.
These guys should have their own little red book of predictions.
So we'll never get out of there with these idiots.
So I'm reading his book on intervention, and he mentions a book I thought he was doing it jokingly.
But done by the RAND Corporation.
I just sent you a link to the book called The Beginner's Guide to Nation Building.
And I want you to look at the cover of this book and look at the four memes that you see.
And this book was actually written by the RAND Corporation and used by the government to do...
So the nation building that they're in denial of is all based on this book, which is one step short of...
Nation building for dummies.
Well, we just heard that this is what you were referring to when the president said it's time for nation building over here instead of over there.
Yeah.
Well, this book...
But look at...
Did you see the cover of this thing?
No, it's not...
Oh, here it is.
Because I have the Skype running on the Windows machine, it's like Startup Firefox and Think About It.
Well, anyway, so the book cover is interesting because it has four interesting memes.
And one of them includes sticking some poor, scared-to-death kid, sticking him with a vaccination by some army guy.
Oh my God, I'm looking at it right now.
So it's basically, it's a quadrant, and so on the top left we have a UN tank about to run down some schmuck.
Exactly!
That's pretty cool.
Then we have, on the right-hand side, as part of the nation building, is the ink-stained finger of a woman with a headscarf as she's voting.
Right, just sticking a ballot in a ballot box, but her finger's way up in the air so you can make sure to see it's ink-stained.
And then we have an army guy sticking a kid with a needle.
Wow!
And then on the right-hand we have what looks like an Iraqi shopping mall.
Oh, no.
No, it's because they're trying to build something.
They're trying to rebuild a mosque that's been bombed.
Wow!
I'll put a link in that to the show notes in that.
Yeah, and this looks to be...
This is the RAND National Security Research Division.
It's a book by...
James Dobbins and some other guys.
This book, you can buy it for $7 on Amazon.
I just saw a link come by the chat room with the PDF. So, you know, forget buying it.
Ooh.
Just download it.
Good work.
Government money probably should be public domain.
Good work, chat room.
Good work.
Well, it's funny that...
The Beginner's Guide to Nation Building.
It's funny you bring up the quote clip there, because I found an awesome website, which you have to take a look at.
It's filled with quotations on Europe.
And it just has all these different great quotes from the past.
So here's Nicholas Ridley, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry under Margaret Thatcher.
Who says, Who said this?
This is Nicholas Ridley, who was Secretary of State for Trade and Industry for Margaret Thatcher.
He said that in July of 1990, but here's the one that really killed me.
That's a good one for 1990.
Well, how about this one?
Romano Prodi, who was the EU Commission President, in the Financial Times on December 4, 2001, said,"...I am sure the euro will oblige us to introduce a new set of economic policy instruments." It is politically impossible to propose that now, but someday there will be a crisis and new instruments will be created.
Bravo!
Bravo!
Well, there you go.
That's exactly what's happening.
The guy is Nostradamus.
The Eurobon.
Who said that and when?
Romano Prodi, EU Commission President, Financial Times.
What year?
2001, December 4th in the time.
These guys are way ahead of the game.
Well, no, it was set up that way.
That's my entire point.
And now we actually have this, you know, they're talking about, we talked about this in the last show, about new political power and financial economic power going to the commission.
And Haiku Herman running a lot more of that show.
And gee, guess what's happening?
Here's something you didn't see on television in America, people.
Greek cafes and restaurants have closed their doors in protest over a ten-point rise in VAT. The cash-strapped Greek government imposed the huge rise in an attempt to raise 750 million euros over the next year to help pay off a crippling EU IMF loan and avoid bankruptcy.
For owners, it's the last straw.
This crisis has hit us hard.
We are more than 35 to 40% down.
Over summer, it was even worse.
In the city of Thessaloniki, a record 7,000 police are on the streets as Prime Minister George Papandreou is in town to make a key economic speech.
In the capital Athens, taxi drivers join doctors and dentists to demonstrate against the government austerity plans.
We're protesting so that the government withdraws all the latest austerity measures, like the ones on health and education.
And we are also opposing the taxes they are making pensioners pay.
We cannot take it anymore.
The EU partners are losing patience with the Greek government's inability to bring its finances under control as unions vow to fight on until the austerity measures are wiped from the statute book.
So let me just break this down for you.
A 10-point rise in VAT, that means everything you buy.
Everything.
All of a sudden, overnight costs 10% more.
I believe their VAT is now at 23%.
I'm speechless.
So in other words, to run their system, they have to take 25% of everybody's money.
And by the way, in this book on nation building for boneheads, the whole thing really much pushes toward immediately setting up a taxation system.
And there's great and deep discussions about different kinds of ways you can tax people.
Yeah, it's great.
And this is only to pay back bankers.
Bankers!
And the people of Greece, they know it.
By the way, on Tuesday, Bunga Bunga Berlusconi said his austerity measures would also raise the VAT to 21% and add a solidarity tax of 3% on Italians who earn more than 500,000 euros.
Sound familiar?
An austerity tax.
I like the word.
Let's see if that crops up.
And increase the retirement age for women in the private sector.
That's great.
Hey, bitch, work longer.
Save the country.
What is that?
Increase the retirement age for women.
What is that?
Doesn't sound good.
This whole thing is out of control.
And coming to a state near you, coming to you, America, Come to you, California.
Yeah, we're getting out.
We're getting out.
Got to get out.
I can't take it anymore.
Sad, but...
Hey, by the way, talking about the flu shot, there's a new gimmick.
Play my flu shot clip.
Ooh, hold on a second.
It's a gimmick?
I love it.
At the Safeway Pharmacy, you can get your flu shot.
And you'll get a bonus.
You get 10% off your groceries.
Save 10% on your groceries when you get a flu shot.
That should make you feel better already.
Safeway.
Ingredients for life.
You know, it's funny because Christina went to see Contagion.
And she actually, on her way out, she took a picture of one of those flu shots anytime.
And, you know, so she made a joke about it because, of course, she's not going to get that.
But so I said, you know, how was the movie?
She says, oh, yeah, you know, it's kind of stupid.
But in the movie, the premise is there's a hybrid flu.
Consisting of swine flu and bird flu and bat poop.
So it's like they're already prepping us for the hybrid of swine and bird flu.
We know from our own show that they've been trying to promote this.
I mean, Baxter had mixed the batch of vaccines with the various elements.
With swine flu and bird flu.
They had the two right in there.
But I'm just saying, now they're prepping you for it.
They've got to get the public ready.
And the other meme is not enough vaccines.
Oh, that's because you've got to rush and get in line.
I took pictures, we talked about this before, but during the swine flu fiasco of when it was the last year or the year before, there were people lined up around the block.
It's the note!
Just so you know, we still have the jingle, it'll never get old.
It'll never get old.
Just briefly back to the United States of Europe.
UBS Warburg put out a report that states, if the Eurozone disintegrates, there is a high risk of outbreaks of violence and civil wars.
I love it!
Actually, we had dinner the other night with some Dutch people.
And they just bought a house in California.
I was like, alright, cool.
Actually, they bought a monster house.
And this guy made his money by creating the first stem cell bank in the Netherlands.
And I was really interested.
You know, I said, well, and this guy is, he's probably 98, but he looks like, you know, 50.
And he starts telling me about this and it hits me that this is why we never hear about elites dying from horrible diseases.
He says it's unbelievable.
The technology exists today to grow within four days.
You need a new liver?
I'll grow you a new liver right in the jar and we can put it right in.
And this is the problem with it.
He says you don't need any medication to help your body accept it.
And it's relatively cheap to do.
He said this is the whole problem with the technology.
He gave an example of one of his employees.
His father had a quarter of his finger chopped off by an airplane propeller.
And his son, who works at the company, gave him part of the stem cell juice, whatever it is, and his finger grew back with a nail on everything.
So he's telling me all these stories.
What?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no, the technology is extremely advanced.
And it's so good that now, this is why he's moving here, the government is cracking down, telling him, well, you can't call it this.
He's like, screw it, I'm giving up because now it's just over.
Let someone else fight that.
And the reason is, is because this is so cheap.
And when you, if you, so, you know, it's like you need a new arm.
Bye, darling.
I love you.
Bye.
You need a new arm.
They just grow one for you from your stem cell.
This is why it was so controversial.
This is why they brought up all that bullcrap against God and whatever.
Bullcrap!
The pharmaceutical industry can't have this.
They need to be treating you for this crap.
They need to be treating you with cancer.
Whereas this stuff, you got cancer of the lung?
No problem.
We'll just rip that one out, put a new one in.
He told me at the table, he said, Adam, I think the way that this is going very fast is technology, I think you will probably be able to live to your 130.
And I believe the guy.
And of course, this is why this technology is not really being made widely available to the masses because it brings down all of the pharmaceutical industry.
Did the guy leave your house on a unicorn?
No.
Alright, I'm just saying.
I'm just saying.
He's now my friend, by the way.
Just some guy came in and dropped that bomb on you?
Kind of.
I like the idea of growing a new finger.
If I have something, can I grow it more, was my question.
Can I make it longer?
I got a little thing I'd like to talk about.
Did you actually catch this O'Biden O'Bainer thing before the speech, this open mic?
Did you see this video?
No.
Oh, this is hilarious.
I can't believe that.
Actually, I looked on Dvorak.org slash blog to see if you'd have it.
We missed it.
It took a long time before the president came out, and of course all the networks were already cutting over.
The president of the United States!
Right.
Right, before that bit.
So, O'Biden and O'Bainer are sitting up there in their box, in their box seats, and What do you call that?
The skybox.
They're in the skybox.
And they're talking to each other like they're buddies, and they're talking about golf for about a minute before someone finally says, oh, you mics are live.
And I'm listening to this, and I'm like, you've got to be shitting me!
Listen.
Hey, I'm on this bar, there you are.
You are here, but there's the gate, man.
Where's the gate?
How are you?
How are you, pal?
I'm all right.
How are you, pal?
I'm all right.
We've got a heck of a lot of work there.
I played a little golf in August.
And I was at a Dismal River golf club out in Sandhills, Nebraska.
You know, it's the middle of nowhere.
It's one of the hardest golf courses you ever want to see.
Sandhills down here in Dismal.
Seven birdies, five birdies.
I shoot two under.
So we have lunch.
We sat there out for about an hour.
And I thought, hey, why don't we go play nine worlds?
Six bars, three birdies, and I missed a four-foot straight-in birdie on the last home run.
Whoa!
So the next day I go to Sandhills, I see an 86.
An 86!
One day I play great, the next day I play awful.
But this is the round of the decade.
I haven't done this for 12 years.
I shot 67 one time down the top.
Mike's are alive.
I don't know if you can hear that through the Skype.
Mike's are alive.
We heard he shot 67 when he was younger.
This guy's playing a lot of golf to shoot a game like that.
These guys are assholes.
Pure and simple.
They're always pretending to be like, oh, I'm this side of the aisle, that side of the aisle.
How you doing, pal?
Hey, how you doing, buddy?
How you doing?
Well, I couldn't believe it.
I shot an 86.
Oh, it was awesome.
Assholes!
Teach your kids that.
They're very concerned about their golf game.
Yeah, very good.
They're all there for the big show.
This is like the green room at...
You have to shoot a lot of golf.
To shoot an 86.
Well, to shoot an 86 if you're not, you know, playing all the time.
But to shoot in the 60s, like he claims, which I think is bull crap, that's okay.
But the fact that he even did it means he's just basically playing.
And he says, you know, one day...
They're playing golf daily.
Oh, yeah.
You know how long it takes to play a round of golf?
And this is a high-pressure job.
Four hours?
The American public is going down the drain.
We can't even get work.
Four hours?
Eighteen holes?
About four hours, I'd say.
It's a long time, yeah.
It could be up to four hours.
Every day?
And by the way, this was on ABC. So this wasn't just...
It was also on C-SPAN, but this clip, which you can find in the show notes, 338.nashownotes.com, it's actually on ABC. And of course, you can see their mouths moving, so it gets even better.
You can pick up all the nuances, and it's not a recording of a recording.
And I just sat there with my mouth agape.
I'm like, the country is crumbling.
The president's going to come up there and read off a teleprompter with some bull crap about something he hasn't written yet.
Like, the dog ate my homework.
And they're just talking about golf.
Oh, yeah.
What'd you do this, August?
I played golf.
I played golf.
I wasn't worried about anyone else.
I played golf.
Golf.
It outrages me.
And meanwhile, they're setting up the U.S. public to work harder and work more while these guys are playing golf.
And here's an example.
I want you to play.
Tell me what's discrepant about this important traffic report during the rush hour.
It's the traffic hour, so we're going to break the news in the morning to play this traffic report.
Tell me if you can see the odd piece of information in here that makes you say, what?
What?
Time now for your live drive time traffic, giving you a live look there at the Snow Grade in Fremont, both directions of 680 looking good this Saturday morning.
Also want to take you a little farther west out to the Golden Gate Bridge, the north and south tower.
They're 746 feet tall, but you can't see them this morning as the fog is still there, hovering over the Golden Gate Street.
Traffic, though, looking good.
Hi, I'm getting paid to do this break at least three times an hour, and there's nothing to report, so I'll make up some bull crap.
It's Saturday!
Why are you doing a drive time report on a Saturday?
There is no drive time on Saturday.
It's a weekend.
Getting ready for it.
There will be when we all have...
Yeah, they're all geared up.
They're ready to go.
They already have the traffic report guy ready to go on Saturday.
When we make our women work longer.
I think we should implement that.
I want to be like the Boonga Boonga guy.
Hey, let's make our bitches work harder.
It's crazy.
Absolutely crazy.
Let me check the Twitters and see if anything bad has happened in New York City.
Something bad did really actually happen.
Something bad really happened the other day, and it actually messed with some of our NoAgendaNewsNetwork.com infrastructure, our URL shortening service, the nice guys over there at Ajax.
Well, here's the report.
A massive power outage tonight stretches from Southern California to Arizona and New Mexico, and officials say the lights may not come back until tomorrow.
Just take a look at this traffic jam in Orange County during the commute tonight.
Traffic lights and everything else went dark just before 4 o'clock this afternoon.
San Diego Gas and Electric says all of its 1.4 million customers are without power.
They say a transmission failure at a switching station in Arizona caused the outage, but we've also heard a line was severed.
The outage trapped riders in electric trains and trapped people in elevators.
Tonight, officials are asking.
So a couple things about this.
One, great idea, these trains.
That's going to be awesome.
But two, I really don't believe this.
Now, I've been tracking the solar flares.
This has been going on for...
Two weeks solid.
And we've even had...
And I've reported on this on the show.
We've had a 1.8 and a 2.1 X-class flare.
We keep having 7 to 8 M-class flare levels.
A lot of C-class, which is not all that bad at all.
Some of this actually coming at the earth.
And they're going to give me this bull crap about someone tripped over a line or something.
It's like one guy.
Like, oh, I was shoveling in my yard.
I brought down the whole grid, man.
Three states.
No.
No.
There's only two possibilities.
One is solar flare activity, which is known to cause these types of outages, which I believe is what's happening.
Or two, prepping you for the ultimate demise that we're going to get to.
And California has had this before, with these douchebags to shut off power.
Rolling blackouts.
You'll remember that, John.
Yeah, it's because of air conditioning.
Oh, the demand for power is way up.
We have to have rolling blackouts, and it turns out to be a scam from Enron that everybody knew was a scam because there's no reason to have rolling blackouts in California.
It was always a scam, but I think it's largely responsible for Gray Davis being recalled as governor because he was all in on it.
He was such a dumb screw-up.
That they had to get rid of them.
And they finally, of course, now we haven't had a rolling blackout since, but the demand has actually gone up.
How does that work?
Yeah, I think at the same time, but actually, electricity demand has gone down, according to reports, because people can't afford it anymore, certainly not in the state of California.
It's outrageously expensive.
Of course, this is also a great time to say, oh, we need a smart grid!
We need some federal dollars for a smart grid!
Slow process.
It takes a long time to make sure we're doing it safe and that we don't have any issues as we turn people back on.
I suspect that we will be in a situation where some of our customers will be back to service toward the end of tonight, but most of the customers, frankly, are going to be out into tomorrow.
Yeah, and then he says, turn off your air conditioner.
Yeah.
Now, but this is a real problem.
And so, you know, in the wake of hurricane, I mean, tropical fart Irene.
And again, I don't want to trivialize, because there's, of course, there's a lot of damage, a lot of people, certainly, even, you know, in my own stomping grounds, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, a lot of flooding, a lot of problems.
Now, I lived in northern New Jersey for 12 years around the Wayne, Patterson, Bergen area, which is where some flooding occurred, which, by the way, occurred multiple times per year for all of the 12 years that I lived there.
We lived on a hill.
So it didn't bother us.
Well, one of the clips that I had from one of the flood victims that you can pick up on the show notes, the person said, yeah, this is the third flood we've had in the last couple of years.
Yeah, that was the one from, I think, last week.
We played that one.
Yeah, there's the third flood we had.
Well, wait a minute.
Why are we exaggerating the impact of this one?
I got it in the news and we got all these people over there.
We never weren't there before.
Well, I'm going to say something controversial.
So I see the president in his reality show called West Wing Week.
I watch all this crap, so you don't have to.
And he's in New Jersey in Wayne.
I think it's Wayne or Patterson.
And I lived here.
I went and shopped here.
I've seen the floods.
It's like, yeah, it's flooded.
Well, you're living in the wrong part.
You don't want to live on the floodplain because it's a floodplain.
You don't want to live here.
But what's happening is we're now being conditioned that when something bad happens to you, because you live in the wrong area, which you know you shouldn't, where no houses should be built, don't worry because Barack's going to come and give you some cash.
And he stumped.
He actually did a stump speech on the spot, a disgusting display of...
Obviously, visiting Wayne, visiting Patterson, many of these surrounding communities gives you a sense of the devastation that's taking place, not only here in New Jersey, but in upstate New York and Vermont, and a whole range of states that were affected by Hurricane Irene.
As President of the United States, I want to make it very clear that we are going to meet our federal obligations, because we're one country, and when one part of the country gets affected, whether it's A tornado in Joplin, Missouri, or a hurricane that affects the eastern seaboard, then we come together as one country and we make sure that everybody gets the help that they need.
Now, bullcrap.
This is absolutely bullcrap.
Hold on a second.
Before you go on to bullcrap, did he say when one part of the country gets infected?
Let me listen to that.
I think he did.
I think he said infected, but then he said affected.
A tornado in Joplin...
Hold on.
...make it very clear that we are going to meet our federal obligations because we're one country and when one part of the country gets infected, whether it's...
Oh, wow!
You win.
He actually said it, didn't he?
Yep, he said infected because you could hear the A-N in there and affected does not have an N. Wow.
Let me hear that again.
He said when one part of the country gets infected...
Wow.
Let's listen to that one more time.
That's outrageous, John.
Thank you.
And when one part of the country gets infected, whether it's...
That's it.
We're dead.
They're going to infect us next.
He did the wrong speech.
He jumped the gun.
Wow.
Oh my God, John.
Classic.
That's the great thing about listening only.
I did not hear that the first time.
Well, anyway, so I guess when one part of the country gets infected, the rest of the country pays for you.
What I had to say isn't even important anymore.
We're getting infected.
We are getting infected, everybody.
I did have a couple quick things on Libya.
on the And by the way, have you noticed Syria has been, they just, shh, no Syria.
Nah, that's because I didn't clip it, but Rice, you know, my other favorite person in the world, Susan Rice, UN ambassador, They're arguing, and she said actually in her little statement, she said, well, there's some countries who aren't on board with the new resolutions for Syria.
Yeah, no kidding, like Russia, you think?
Duh.
But first as just a little bit of, this will be fun.
And now, back to Real News.
So, something that caught my attention, it caught everybody's attention, and whenever I see these things, I am trained, and I hope everyone else is trained, although no one else, I think, looked into it, that there's something going on here.
And this is about the chimpanzees that were released after 30 years.
They finally saw the daylight, and they're all hugging each other, and like, woo!
And they go, light, light!
I can see the light!
So, I'm like, alright, where is this coming from?
This is obviously a PR job.
Now, it's coming from, and I know we have a number of Austrian listeners, from this guy named Michael Aufhauser.
And Michael Aufhauser, in fact, I have a little, I translated poorly, a piece from a German article.
He's a multi-millionaire.
He has kind of like a castle.
And he's built this sanctuary for animals.
And he's been doing this for, I don't know, six or seven years.
He has like 3,000 animals.
They call him like the modern-day Noah.
And he's got Noah's Ark.
And it says here, In the society columns of the Austrian and German media, surrounded by stars and starlets.
Michael Aufhauser, the millionaire with the animal whimsy.
Exactly what he wants to be.
He's a pro, a businessman through and through.
But where it comes from and where he's from, nobody really knows.
That makes a part of his mysterious charisma.
It leaves room for imagination and speculation.
Growing up in the world of actors, managers...
It leaves room for somebody doing some work!
So I'm like, who is this guy?
Wait a minute.
Who would write such a thing?
We don't know who he is and we're too lazy to find out.
Well, that's basically it.
So I'm Googling in German now.
This is the, I told you before we started the show, I kind of went off on it.
I went off for hours on this.
I'm like, this guy has got to be somebody.
Google.de.
And people should know, by the way, if you want to look up stuff, you can Google.fr, Google.de, and you will go on to the German or the French, for example, search engine itself and Google.
Then the database is slightly different.
Well, you can also go into advanced search, and from there you can select the language.
That's another way to do it.
So I'm looking around, and so apparently he's the son of an industrialist, so I guess he comes from old money.
But he was, he started in like some weird tourism thing, but then I believe he created kind of a PR marketing empire.
I'm like, ah, okay, the guy's a PR guy.
So, of course, when you hear a story like this, and I'm all for chimps, you know, whatever, and I have to say, maybe the chimps will smell each other's butt, but it'll look cute.
Oh, my God, we're all hugging, like, oh, yeah, look, they're so human!
But, of course, what are we trained to go and look for, John?
I don't know what.
Come on.
We're trained to go look for animal rights activists, or we're trained to go...
If it's PR... Oh, we're trained to go look for a movie.
From Disney Nature, witness the incredible true story of an orphan and the one who will raise him as his own.
This is home.
Now I'm finally where I belong.
Where I belong.
In 2012, I've been searching for a place of mine.
For the first time ever caught on film, maybe this is home.
Discover the remarkable bond that will capture your heart.
Chimpanzee the movie.
Coming to you 2012.
Chimpanzee.
Are you kidding me?
No!
It blew me away!
I'm like, oh my goodness!
This is like every time we do this, it always turns out to be a movie.
I mean, I saw that story and I just gave up on it.
I didn't follow up like you did.
But, you know, it was a bullcrap story to begin with because it just was artificial.
It just stunk to high heaven, but I never thought yet another heart-tugging bullcrap story just to get you to go to a crappy movie that probably stinks.
Well, it stinks of monkey poop.
Unbelievable.
That's actually ridiculous.
I'm actually getting more and more disgusted every time this happens.
It's like every week we come up with a big news story and it turns out to be a prerequisite for a movie or a pre-publicity to get you in the right frame of mind to want to go see the movie.
Chimpanzee the movie.
I knew you'd love it.
It's outrageous.
Where'd you get the trailer?
That must have been buried somewhere.
I just did chimpanzee movie and it popped right up.
How hard is that?
Ladies and gentlemen, that's how easy it is.
But will the media do it?
No.
Because it's too much work to type in chimpanzee the movie.
Alright, so a couple things about Libya.
Susan Rice comes out and she tries, you know, she's like in the UN there, you know, she does a little interviews.
No one watches it.
There's no one news guys are looking at this.
Some people are there and asking questions, of course.
There is some good reporting going on.
Boots on the ground is what's being discussed now in the United Nations.
We will obviously look forward to the briefing of the Council by Special Representative Ian Martin, which we expect in the coming days.
will want to take full account of the specifics of his recommendations and the Secretary General's report, and we will incorporate those into a draft resolution for Council consideration.
And I think that resolution will probably have different elements to it, principally to begin to express the Council's support and approval of the initial steps that the United Nations intends to take to put a presence on the ground.
Yay!
There you go.
There it is.
It's a no-fly zone to boots on the ground to capture or kill.
There's no chance of this happening because you can't have boots on the ground because Obama said no.
And by the way, it would only take weeks.
Days.
Days.
What are you talking about?
It is U.S. policy that Gaddafi needs to go.
But let me emphasize that we...
We anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks.
Well, good on you there.
Now, of course, we immediately identified what this was all about.
This was about China, about the Libyans doing a deal with China, and the first 30,000 people to get flown out of there were going to look suspiciously like Chinas.
Get them out of here, you Chinese.
Get out.
So, of course, we drop a total of, according to the official reports, 30,000 bombs, of which I have seen exactly zero on television.
Not a single solitary piece of reporting has ever showed me a bomb coming from the sky and dropping on a building or anything and exploding.
Have you ever seen that at all in the past six months, John?
No, they have refused to show us.
30,000...
You know, it's like, damn, man!
Damn!
And the camera wasn't ready.
I mean, how can you miss 30,000 bombs?
Well, if you're not...
If you're part of the script, you're not supposed to show it.
So anyway, so China, of course, is like...
And two, on sanctions violations, is anything being done about the reports coming out that maybe China was trying to sell arms to Libya as late as July?
Yeah.
With respect to Libya, we have seen the reports in the press and the statements by the Chinese government.
Obviously, we have a strong stake, as do all members of the Security Council and all members of the United Nations, in the effective and full enforcement Of the 1970 regime, including, if not especially, the arms embargo.
We will look to China to continue to explain and clarify its understanding of what did or didn't transpire, and at this point...
We will work with them and through the committee to ensure that the arms embargo is fully respected.
In other words, yes, we're at war with China, and China is having no part of it and has been passing on guns to Libya to stop this mayhem.
But, of course, no reporting on that.
Meanwhile, Boonga Boonga Man Berlusconi comes right out and says...
I love this.
This has nothing to do with a popular uprising.
The Libyan people love Gaddafi, as I was able to see when I went to Libya.
He said Friday during a party meeting in Rome.
People have decided to give life to a new era by trying to oust Gaddafi, Berlusconi said.
What choice did I have considering America's pressure?
He's just coming out and saying that he had to go along with it.
He's saying it.
Is that in the New York Times?
This guy is totally cruising for a major, major problem.
And then, I went back and actually found this report.
Ex-Congressman Walter Fontroy.
You've probably heard of him because he was a congressman for like 20 years.
Did he ring a bell?
Nope.
So this was the report on August 23rd.
Congressman, tell me what you're doing...
By the way, with Wolf Blitzer.
What have you been doing in Tripoli?
Why are you at the Rixos Hotel?
Well, as the Reverend Congressman Faulkner, 20 years in Congress, I have joined Dr.
K. Paul here in an effort to work out a non-violent solution.
Right now, we are in a precarious situation with some of our Friends from the media, because we fear that unless we are able to relocate, that we may all be in danger.
As a minister who believes in the fervent, effectual prayers of the righteous, I have joined with Dr.
K. Paul in your appeal to people who know the word of prayer, To pray for us and to pray for deliverance for not only us but the press corps with whom we have been courted here.
Anyway, so he goes on.
So I just want you to know that the real guy and Wolf Blitzer cared about him.
And as you know, as a good African American citizen, I read Afro.com.
And I see this report, and I can't wait for this guy to either, A, come out and state this for the record in some video so we can really play it, or, unfortunately, for him to disappear forever.
Here's a report that came out, and I was blown away by it.
Former U.S. Congressman Walter Fontroy, who recently returned from a self-sanctioned peace mission to Libya, said he went into hiding for about a month in Libya after witnessing horrifying events in Libya's bloody civil war, A war that Fontroy claims is backed by European forces.
His sudden disappearance prompted rumors and news reports that he had been killed.
And this is true because I've got some of those links in the show notes.
In an interview inside his Northwest D.C. home last week, the noted civil rights leader told the Afro that he watched French and Danish troops storm small villages late at night, beheading, maiming, and killing rebels and loyalists alike to show them who was in control.
Fontroy said, quote, what the hell I'm thinking to myself?
I'm getting out of here!
So I went into hiding.
The rebels told Fontroy they'd been told by the European forces to stay inside.
According to Fontroy, the European forces would tell the rebels, look at what you did!
In other words, the French and Danish were ordering the bombings and killings and giving credit to the rebels.
The truth about this will come out later, he said.
And then he goes on.
You have to read this article.
But he's essentially saying that all of our NATO forces went in, were cutting people's heads off on both sides, giving the rebels credit, and mind-controlling them into thinking that they're so awesome.
And this guy's just coming out and saying it.
You can't do that!
Well, no!
So, of course, the other option is that we have to make them into a crackpot.
They might try that.
Well, he's hanging out with this guy he mentions is Kay Paul, right?
Yeah, that's not a good idea, probably.
Kay Paul is a weird preacher, an Indian preacher.
Guru-style Christian preacher.
And there's a funny wiki page on him, just because he had this...
I mean, here's a guy...
This guy had...
You know, we're like struggling to get donations to our little show, but this guy has a 747.
Right.
Really?
Yeah, and a big top, too.
Like the newer one.
A big top?
Yeah, but unfortunately, there's a picture of it.
You can look at K.A. Paul.
Or it's K.A. Paul.
He's on Wiki.
And there's a picture of it in there.
And a former crew member described his jet as a flying death trap.
In 2005, the pilot co-captain and flight engineer quit because of concerns over maintenance and non-payment of debts.
The plane was ferried to Tijuana in late 2005 where it remains today being fixed.
The FAA has revoked the plane's operating certificate.
Oh my goodness.
But the fact that he has it is just fantastic.
Oh my goodness.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on the agenda In the morning Alright John, we gotta fuel up the jet.
Yeah, well, this ain't going to do it, but it's a start.
Claudia Gerber in Lisbon, Ohio, $150 without comment.
Anna Janicek in Temple Terrace, Florida.
Longtime boner.
Hope this starts to make up for it.
Love the show.
Moxie in Cary, North Carolina.
He gave us $98.27.98.27 is a phone speak for our friend WTC7. You can play the jingle.
Oh, it's like if you punch those numbers.
I get it.
Okay.
WTC7 won't go away.
Nice work this summer, Adam and John.
John and Adam, I'd continue to enjoy the entertainment and solid reporting.
I'm flying today so I could use some karma for getting through the heightened security theater.
You've got karma.
Also an anonymous donation of $66.66, Douglas Kuhlman in Shelvin, Minnesota.
Double nickels on the dime in the morning.
Gents, I go way back to when $2 was the asking price because of the enjoyment of the pie.
That is a while.
I immediately started another $2, so I've been blithely coasting along with my meager contributions of $4.
Then PayPal dropped one of the two, forcing me to reevaluate.
The quality and content of the show has expanded greatly.
Oh!
It's actually worth much more.
Especially that slide whistle.
That really brings in the dough.
It does.
It's actually worth much more than what I'm affording.
The occasional 55.10 and upgrading to the monthly $11.11.
This old geezer wishes he could do more.
Thanks a bunch in the morning.
P.S. How many others are blithely coasting along with the old $2 a month?
They should ask themselves, is the show improved?
Shouldn't I reciprocate in kind?
Damn betcha.
The real Doug in Alita, Minnesota.
That's a kind note.
Thank you, Doug.
Jeff Mincy, San Jose, California.
5510 in the morning, John and Adam.
Besides finally donating, I've also got another domain named to add to the list, consultthebookofknowledge.com.
Now it points to noagendashow.com.
I considered pointing it to the search in a show notes.com, but I didn't want to detract from the eventual Guinness World Record.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Yeah.
I think you should probably point it to the nashownotes.com.
Yeah, search.nashownotes.com.
I think it's a good idea.
I agree.
Keith McColpin in Imperial, Pennsylvania.
Double nickels on the dime.
Please have Adam send a special karma call to my vegan drone girlfriend, Amy.
I love her dearly even though the tofu has shrunk her brain to the size of a peanut.
You know what?
That's not necessarily bad when it comes to your loved one, my friend.
Amy, here's a little extra karma for you, vegan friend.
You've got karma.
Barbecue.
Kirk James, Decatur, Alabama, double nickels on the dime screen.
Scott Hankel, Sunland, California, 5338.
Sir Jeffrey Gerlach in Alamo, California, 5150, which is the number for insanity in the California code.
Andrew Gardner, Avenue, Maryland.
In the morning, special thanks to my brother, Elliot Gardner, who got me listening to you guys last weekend.
$50 already.
He's only been listening to one show.
And already he's on board.
Love it.
Yes.
George Scanlon, Carpentersville, Illinois, $50.
And Sir Tristan Lennon in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, $50.
And Tristan Wilson-Kerrigan in Padbury, $50.
And every time that happens, it confuses me.
Yeah, it's hard for you.
But whatever the case is, I want to thank them and everyone else who donated lesser amounts to the No Agenda Show at NoAgendaShow.com, Dvorak.org slash NA, ChannelDvorak.com slash NA. Or, knowagenanation.com, you can find a donate button there, too.
It would help.
We really appreciate the help.
Yes, we do.
Dvorak.org slash NA I just want to go back to the Hot Pockets 2008 tour.
Dave Selden and his lovely wife, Debbie, drove us back to the fantastic Two Rivers campground, picturesquely located between two highways.
And she mentioned in the car that she needed a job, and I do recall telling her I'd give her some karma, and I guess I forgot that.
I got a little nudge about that.
So, Debbie, here you go.
Long deserved coming your way.
You've got karma.
It's very important.
Also, PayPal screwed us over, actually screwed Ua Husman over, who sent us $66.66 last week.
He said, I'd like to ask for some karma.
I have a job interview next week for a new job that will hopefully help me to bring back some fun into my work life.
I think we did this one, though.
But anyway, even more like karma for my longtime girlfriend who's pregnant with my child.
I just hope the little slave will be healthy and well.
The soon-to-be MILF and me are very happy, but I'm nervous as hell.
So, to make good on the karma, we'll hit you with a MILF and a karma at the same time.
Karma.
And, yeah, I think that's all we have there.
It's your birthday, birthday.
I don't know what you're doing.
Two quick birthdays.
Wade says happy birthday to his daughter Cassandra.
She turns one on the 14th of September.
And Mark Cable gets congratulations from Catherine Cable.
He turns 46 today.
Happy 9-11 to you from your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
We have a knighting here, John.
You got your blade?
Hold on.
There it comes.
For those of you who are new to the program, anyone who supports the program in up to or in excess of $1,000 becomes a knight or dame of the No Agenda Roundtable.
That includes a beautiful white gold ring and some sealing wax.
The ring is really nice.
If you've never seen it, rings.nashownotes.com.
When you hit someone in the mouth with it, it actually leaves an imprint.
It's a signet ring.
Then it says, hit him in the mouth in Latin.
It has a little ITM there in the 33 in our little thing.
And they will never forget that they were hit in the mouth.
They were a knight of the knowledge in the round table.
These are the people who support the show.
Many of them, by the way, turn out to be doctors of dental medicine.
And have all contacted me after my tirade.
How does that work?
I don't know, but I got like five notes.
Five.
Five.
Five, and two of them nights, including Sir Greg Birch up there in your neck of the woods.
First of all, offering free service, etc., all kinds of advice, highly appreciated, and I'm going to give up on my dental insurance, and whatever the premium was, I'll just give it to those guys, because it seems like they want to help me out just for cost, which is really nice.
Have you ever had any work done by one of our knights?
No, I don't know if I trust him.
Oh, I trust him implicitly.
It's just that big sword in your mouth that kind of sucks.
Ah, be careful with that thing!
Eric Gray, step forward, extend your middle finger, and kneel!
Eric, thanks to your enduring support of the No Agenda podcast known as the best podcast in the world.
In the amount of up to $1,000, we hereby pronounce you a Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
In fact, we will call you Sir Eric Gray, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Over here, sir, hookers and blows, short it is a red boy, and hot pants and booze for you!
Welcome to the club!
Actually, I should say that Sir Greg Birch did do some work on Eric DeShill's little boy who had some issues with his teeth and did a fantastic job.
And I was curious because that would be my grandson technically.
And did you know that today is Grandparents' Day officially?
It was put up by Jimmy Carter.
So 9-11, which is the first Sunday after Labor Day, is Grandparents' Day.
And of course, did I get a card?
Did I get a letter?
No.
Let me just check.
I'm going to whitehouse.gov, because as you know, it's not official until Barack Obama has said it is the official Grandparents' Day.
So let me check.
Presidential actions.
Let me go see.
Let me check.
National Days of Prayer and Remembrance.
Yes!
There you go.
No, it's September 9th.
It's been moved.
What?
Yes.
Presidential proclamation.
National Grandparents' Day, September 9th.
It's supposed to be the first Sunday after Labor Day, according to Carter.
Isn't this the first Sunday after Labor Day?
Yeah, it's the 11th.
The virtue...
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
It was proclaimed on the 9th.
Now, therefore, I, Barack Obama, President of the United States, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution of the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim September 11, 2011, as National Grandparents' Day.
I call upon all Americans to take time to honor their own grandparents and those in their communities.
And of course, he politicized this by saying, as a country, we understand our welfare is determined by that of all Americans.
It is our responsibility to provide for our grandparents as they have for us.
He didn't do crap for the kid.
Are you kidding me?
We must keep Social Security strong and viable while preserving it for future generations.
We must strengthen Medicare by making common sense changes that encourage high quality care and address wasteful spending.
He politicized it.
He politicized Grandparents Day.
He's a douchebag.
I guess so.
John's gonna hum the Sunday Times!
Yeah!
Some interesting stories in the Times on both Saturday and Sunday, which are the two important days for looking for messages and memes.
First of all, the New York Times has written off Obama's job speech as a loser.
So we can just give up on that.
So we don't even have to talk about that anymore.
Uh...
Apparently Guatemala is now becoming in the news.
There's some sort of action going on we have to pay attention to.
Also, the clans carving up Somalia was in the Saturday paper and there's something going on.
So we have to follow Somalia, which of course has been in the news for a while.
But if you take a look at the Sunday Times, there's an article talking about how Israel essentially is under attack.
There is a...
...about a rich tax breaks bolster makers of video games, which is an upper right-hand corner article, which is always important.
And the thing that I found interesting was this is some attempt to gouge some of the software people because there's a couple of things that make no sense.
Let me just read a part of the fourth paragraph.
Because video game makers straddle the links between software development and the entertainment industry and online retailing, they can combine tax breaks in ways that companies like Netflix and Adobe cannot.
I'm not understanding that.
What does that mean?
Well, that's what I'm saying.
It's meaningless.
Apparently, there's a bunch of different kinds of tax breaks for the rich.
Tax breaks that the guys who do entertainment software, the people who develop it, they're taking tax breaks for R&D and for one thing or another that shouldn't be taken because they're lowlifes because they do video games.
But this thing is bogus because there's nothing that I know of that a game developer can do that Adobe can't do.
In terms of...
Adobe's a retail operation.
Adobe's involved in entertainment.
Adobe is a development-oriented company.
So something about this whole article is bullcrap.
Well, isn't it the game guys that put in all the MKUltra stuff to mind control our kids?
I think that they're producing games that are...
There's a dimension of the word antisocial game is in here a couple of times.
There's a meme that, you know, these guys aren't...
They're not part of...
They're not doing the right thing with the messages.
Right.
And one of my, I think it was Buzzkill Jr.
was pointing out that many of these games, especially Grand Theft Auto, has got a lot of anti-social messages in there and anti-government memes that I think the government's getting fed up and this is a warning shot across the bow, so keep an eye out for that.
And the last thing that's on here...
It's the one that is one of our memes and one of our predictions to the point where we've actually put it on paper.
And I think it's kind of a giveaway.
And I've never seen an article on the front page of the Times with this byline.
This article is by Michael Barbaro, Jeff Zellini, and Monica Davey.
Why would you have three names?
It's not like by.
This article is by in three people.
Which draws attention to it.
Democrats fret aloud over Obama's chances.
Hmm.
I think that article is a big deal.
So, break it down for me.
Big message.
The doubts are creeping in.
They're prepping the public for Obama not running in 2012.
Wow.
So, the prediction will come true, you think, huh?
It's possible.
It's getting closer.
It's possible.
It is possible.
I mean, there could be a number of factors.
He could all of a sudden come down with something that needs a lot of attention.
He's not going to run again.
Or he has to spend more time with the family.
Or one of the kids gets arrested for dealing drugs.
Oh, how about an illness?
That's what I was thinking, coming down with something.
Yeah, an illness.
Some phony illness that he gets and he has to relent.
Of course, all that money that he collects gets divvied up.
He gets to keep it tax-free.
We've already checked that.
That's why we're running in 2016, so we can start collecting now and we're tax-free.
We're coasting, baby.
I'd like to know how much money Stephen Colbert has collected.
Oh, he has a political action committee?
He has a super PAC. Now, it is my understanding that when you have that, it is tax-free money.
I'm not sure.
We're going to have to look into it.
Whatever the case is...
Yeah, we'll do that tomorrow.
I'm sure we'll be looking into that.
I'm not looking into it for a while.
We've got years to worry about.
But the point is that this is another shot across the bow.
And it's a setup.
It's on the Sunday paper, which everyone reads.
And it's got the biggest circulation of any newspaper on a Sunday for sure.
And it doesn't look good.
Okay, okay.
I close my analysis right there.
John's gonna hum the Sunday time.
Ooh, good one.
You were right on there.
Good.
You're getting better.
With the lag and all.
You know, I was looking at something, some website that someone, it posted on noogenthenewsnetwork.com, and it's a very funny page with all these world leaders, whatever, like Hitler and all kinds of Mussolini, all congratulating Barack on bringing down the United States.
It's a very funny page.
But what I noticed there is that every other...
Funny quote mentions Michelle Obama farting.
And this is apparently something I missed.
Is she a farter?
Has she ripped a couple in public that people know this and I just miss this?
Well, there are people that are...
There's a name for it, but they pretty much engage in public flatulence.
On purpose?
On purpose?
Well, no, they just, I don't know if they just, you know, wait to let one go.
Hold on, hold on a second.
It's like the guy in the family guy.
I'm going to consult the book of knowledge on this.
Peter on the family guy likes him.
I mean, he's like, here comes one.
No, I think it's funny, but I didn't realize.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, there's pages of this stuff.
Does Michelle Obama have bad farts?
Oh my goodness.
Apparently she farted on the Ellen show?
No.
On the Tonight Show she farted?
Hold on a second.
Let's play some of this.
I can't believe this.
Let's see.
Michelle Obama on Tonight Show.
You can hear her.
Honored she's agreed to stop by and pay his visit.
Please welcome Michelle Obama.
Okay.
Okay.
Alright.
That is bogus.
You think?
Family interviews.
Those are right off the Android rupee cushion.
I've overstepped my bounds.
It's none of my business, you know?
What was I thinking?
My God!
This is the Obama family interview from October 13, 2008.
And let's listen.
Shame.
Shame.
I gotta go.
You're going to die!
Didn't you hear what I said?
This is all cut up, too.
Alright, it's bogus.
I guess it's not true.
It's funny.
It is kind of.
She looked like she was farting during that speech, man.
That was pretty bad.
She looked really unhappy.
Did you see that?
Oh, yeah.
I forgot to write the red book.
Yeah, they showed her about two or three times.
And at the very end, if you watch it closely, when he finished, she shook her head.
Yeah.
While looking down, she shook her head in great disappointment.
It was really weird.
Yeah, it looked as if, the way we analyzed it, we saw it, we made the assumption that he was going to talk about one thing and he was going to go in a certain direction or he was going to pull a Truman and yell at Congress.
And he didn't.
And he didn't.
He wimped out and she just shook her head at the very end in grave disappointment at her husband's inability to be anything other than a spineless worm.
Okay, that's one way of putting it.
And then she farted.
Whatever the case was, I thought it was if Steve Case was sitting behind her.
I couldn't tell.
I think it was him.
Krauthammer had...
Krauthammer, is that his name?
Yeah, Krauthammer.
He had an interesting take on the speech.
What took me was his abuse of the majesty of that setting.
A joint address of Congress is something that FDR did on the day after Pearl Harbor to ask for a declaration of war on Imperial Japan.
It's a place where LBJ asked for a Civil Rights Act, and here it's a place where Obama used it as a kickoff of his own re-election campaign.
The majesty of that.
I thought that was kind of interesting.
Hey, second half of the show, everybody, so you know what that means.
It means I get to do stuff like this.
WTC7 won't go away.
So of course it is happy 9-11 day and I just need to...
Talk a little bit about this atrocity that took place with some new information that has come out.
Amazing.
We have pictures that were never before published.
Amazingly.
Amazingly.
I was so annoyed by all of a sudden, ten years later, the pilot was going to ram the plane and all these news stories.
That was the worst one, is this female jet pilot Who is in the news saying, yeah, you know, like, we were scrambled to our planes and there's no time to arm our plane, so if this plane had to be taken out, then I would have to be a kamikaze pilot.
Wow, really?
You're telling me our stuff ain't loaded on the decks?
You've got to be kidding me.
Yeah, that's bogus to begin with.
Of course it's bogus.
What's the point?
And then the other thing is, even without the things you could have done, you can do those crazy things you do to disrupt a plane flying.
Oh yeah, you could do all kinds of stuff.
Even the jet wash would be enough.
Yeah.
So, Zombie Chaney.
Oh, this guy is getting on my nerves.
I was thinking about this while I was watching Zombie Cheney, who doesn't have a heart, you know.
Yeah, no, he has a heart, but it doesn't pump.
No, it's a non-pump.
It's a big sheen in there.
But anyway, I realized that this guy was, I think, the chief of staff for Gerald Ford, and he's been in the government ever since.
The guy is essentially...
He's a professional bureaucrat that was in office as a kind of an office manager who's wormed his way into the position he's in, and he's never been anything more than a glorified office manager making these kinds of decisions.
He's got no skills in any way, except he's a stooge.
Well, even worse than that, he was chosen to find a vice president for George Bush, and then he said, hey, you know what?
That would be me.
Yeah.
Unbelievable guy.
People don't even remember that, that he was chosen to find a VP. Yeah, because he's a gopher.
Yeah, and now he's this big expert on everything.
Oh, we should do this and do that.
This reminds me of the Monty Python bit where the guy walks into the employment office and he wants to be a lion tamer and he's an accountant.
So, he had an interview, I don't know if it was NBC, no, 60 Minutes, I think.
He was on 60, by the way, he was on both C-spans, he was on 60 Minutes, he was on all the talk shows for this book of his.
So, listen very, very carefully to what he's saying here, and tell me if I'm crazy.
Well, we know I'm crazy, but tell me if I'm not, well, just listen to it.
Switch now.
You and the President had earlier discussed rules of engagement for taking down a hijacked airplane, but you were the one who gave the direct order to shoot down a plane that you were told, as it turns out incorrectly, was headed for Washington.
Right.
That's correct.
What's that moment like?
Well, it was necessary.
And it was a, frankly, I didn't pause to think about it very much because once one of those aircraft became, was hijacked, it was a weapon.
We've seen already, by that time, three of them go in to the Pentagon and the World Trade Center in New York.
As a result, thousands died.
And if we had been in a position to intercept one of those, to keep it from striking its target, would we have done it?
Absolutely.
And what I did was pass on the President's approval of the basic proposition that we would, in fact, authorize our people to shoot down aircraft that had been hijacked and refuse to divert.
So I saw it as part of my responsibility, but I did it quickly because we had a lot of other things we were doing at the same time.
So I can count.
And what he says in this interview is he gave the order after two planes went into the towers and one into the Pentagon.
In other words, we shot down Flight 93.
That's exactly what he's saying.
Or am I hearing this?
That's exactly what he said.
And Donald Rumsfeld, I just want to remind you, already spilled the beans on this in 2001.
I dug that clip up for you.
It would have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the Best Hall in Mosley or the people who did the bombing in Spain or the people who attacked the United States in New York Whoops!
Whoops!
So these assholes won't even admit.
Forget my scalar weapon theory.
They won't even admit.
But here is Cheney on record saying, I gave the order after three planes had hit, and I acted quickly.
And they shot the, you know, there was an eight-mile debris field that, of course, you know, has been covered up of Flight 93.
They shot it out of the air, just blew it up.
And I'm so disgusted by this whole thing.
Well, you know, that would explain why this woman came out of the woodwork with a phony story or the dubious story, whatever the story was.
And after 10 years, we never heard this story before, but now we hear it.
And I think it also explains a lot of the other screwiness that took place on that flight, you know, with the cell phone calls to mom and all the rest of it.
Yeah, they probably did blow it out of the sky.
It makes more sense.
It's even worse.
There's this interview, I think it's with Peter Jennings, and this surface, and I'm sure this was aired ten years ago, but in hindsight, listening to this short clip, Like a minute and a half of this controller at Cleveland Tracon, I think it is.
So the air traffic control that was managing Flight 93, and you look at this woman, she's kind of milfy, by the way, which gives me more reason to believe she's complete MKUltra.
She talks about Flight 93's transmitter, Being on the whole time while the pilots were being killed.
And I've never heard a tape of this.
And if you're transmitting on a frequency, it's being recorded somewhere.
That's worldwide.
And the claims she makes are so outrageous that it just, you know, she is obviously an asset.
The controller working Flight 93 tries to contact the cockpit.
United 93, Cleveland, do you still hear the center?
I was afraid of that flight.
Climbed up from his assigned altitude of 35,000 feet to 41,000 feet, turned around and aimed right back at where we were.
And descended rapidly.
And when a plane descends too fast, the computer can't keep up with it.
And you get X's in the altitude box.
So we knew he was aimed at us and descending very, very rapidly.
Now I will just say that the theory on this is it descended really rapidly.
And of course the plane actually landed in Cleveland and was switched out, switched over to another number.
But that's just a conspiracy theory.
But let's listen to this thing that she says about the radio.
At that point, I knew it was a confirmed hijacking.
I didn't know where they were going, what they were doing.
I was worried that we were a target.
Confirmed hijacking, by the way, is only when you are squawking four sevens.
That's a confirmed hijacking, not when you have X's on the screen and the transponder is off.
That is not a confirmed hijacking.
...that the center was a target.
I remember looking at the ceiling and thinking, you know, here it comes.
We have all shuddered at the thought of what must have been going on in the cockpits of those hijacked airliners.
It turns out the Cleveland controller working United Flight 93 at the time, along with supervisors, actually heard the sounds of the struggle in the cockpit.
I said, did you guys talk to him?
He goes, yeah, we talked to him.
I said, what is the pilot?
He said, it wasn't the pilots.
He said, it was the hijackers.
I said, the hijackers?
I said, are you telling me the hijackers were talking to you on the frequency?
He said, the pilot opened up the mic before.
He said, we heard it all.
I said, we heard them being killed.
Have you ever heard that audio, John?
Ever?
No.
No.
And that is something very critical.
We don't hear that, but of course we do have this report.
Now, just to deal with the possibility of the missing United Airlines flight, the mayor of Cleveland, Michael White, says that a Boeing 767 out of Boston has made an emergency landing at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport because of concerns that it may have a bomb aboard.
There is some possibility...
That may be the missing United flight, but we do not know.
But anybody who's in an aircraft this morning and made an emergency landing safely is probably one hugely relieved person at the moment.
And here's the mayor.
We have a Boeing 767 in a secure area of Hopkins International Airport.
The initial reports was that this plane was hijacked and that there was a bomb on it.
There you go.
Of course, no one talks about that anymore, and it was not in the 9-11 Commission report at all.
And that's just a little tidbit of...
WTC7 won't go away!
And I would like to point out that Congressman Ron Paul, in 1998, at the height of the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, came out and said, we're setting ourselves up for attack.
Did you know, John, I'm sure you did actually, that in the Clinton years we bombed Iraq and Afghanistan?
Well, yeah, I know we bombed Iraq.
Afghanistan, I don't know that.
But it was all covered up by the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Clinton had established a no-fly zone over Iraq and he was bombing them.
Afghanistan, I don't have any evidence of that.
Well, it's in this clip.
Well, not in this clip that I'm going to play, but it's in the full clip.
I just took a little bit out of it.
And so this is Ron Paul being questioned on C-SPAN about the articles of impeachment regarding Bill Clinton lying about sticking a cigar at the interns.
If Congress were given an opportunity to vote on whether we should bomb Iraq, would you go along with that as long as it went through the procedures?
No, I would strongly oppose it because they're not a threat to our national security.
Iraq has a third-rate army.
They have no ability to wage war.
Our policies are deliberately destroying the country.
They can't feed their children.
They're not allowed to have medication.
There was a story in today's paper where one of our private charity groups was being fined because they were trying to get medicines into the Iraqi people.
So for us to unleash bombs on Iraq at this particular time to kill more innocent people for narrow political reasons, no, there is absolutely no need to cause more bombing because of a very overall flawed foreign policy How are you going to vote on impeachment?
I'll vote for impeachment.
For all four articles?
Yes.
Unenthusiastically because I think the charges are way too mild and not touching the issues that I would like to touch.
I mean, that's what we should be addressing.
But I wish the Congress would address the unconstitutionality of presidents waging war.
That to me is a lot more serious than Monica Lewinsky, let me tell you.
It has nothing to do with national security.
Matter of fact, our national security is more jeopardized by permitting this to happen.
Because we're liable to start a war.
We're liable to have our military men killed.
We're liable to have more attacks on us by terrorists.
There you go.
So no matter what you believe about 9-11, I would place some blame squarely at the feet of Bill Clinton.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think you got that right.
Well, that's depressing.
That's a good way to celebrate the old 9-11 10th year anniversary.
And why are we celebrating a failure, by the way?
Well, I had this conversation with Miss Mickey this morning, and she said, you know, it's very important for...
There's two things she said, and I agree, of course, with...
Let me restate that.
She said the first anniversary of 9-11 in Europe, of course she was in Europe at the time, the Europeans were like, get over it already.
Because of course Europe has been through multiple wars.
It's a little hard to read millions of names of people every single year who died in at least two, but actually probably more like 200 wars in Europe.
And Europe was used to it.
This was the first real full-scale attack on American soil.
And it's very painful, of course, for the families of victims.
I, of course, immediately...
Paré by saying, well, how come we don't read out the thousands of names of military men and women who have died in the name of combating terror?
And she said, well, it's because they're military.
I was like, okay, good.
And then she said, well, it's really important for the 9-11 generation.
She didn't say that, but I'm filling that in.
So we remember and we don't start wars.
I'm like, hold on a second.
Yeah.
Just so you know.
What?
There's not a...
Well, she meant it well.
There's not a single...
You know, at no point were there German people sitting around eating sauerkraut in the First and Second World War period saying, Hey!
Hey, you know what?
Let's go kill some Jews!
No.
Governments do this.
And the way governments do it is they get a bunch of kids who have no prospects, no job, and they pay them to go in the army, and it only takes six weeks.
Six weeks is what basic training is, boot camp.
And they deprive you of sleep, of food, and they turn you into a robot.
And then you don't care.
You just don't care anymore.
All you do is follow orders and you go out and you kill people.
They turn you into a robot.
That's what basic training is.
But there's no one in Germany right now saying, I'm going to go kill me some French.
I'm going to go kill me some Polish.
There's no one saying that.
It's governments who do this.
The elites who run this stuff.
So Buzzkill Jr.
wants to remind us that Bin Laden in his first speech after 9-11 blamed Clinton.
Oh really?
And called the collapse of the towers retribution for his bombing.
There you go.
Anyway, so that'll be it for me on 9-11.
I'm extremely, extremely tired of all of this.
Well, it's pointless.
I mean, I think it's good, and I still think that all you have to do when you get into a debate about it is just throw the WTC7 thing in and just say, where's that?
Just give me an explanation.
I don't care about the rest of it.
How about this one?
It's Drone Nation time.
Don't you mean donation time?
He means Adam's got another story about drones.
Yes, I do.
I just wanted to mention this.
It was kind of a funny article about how mysterious buyers are snapping up planes left and right Mainly turboprops, like King Airs and stuff.
And the reason is that the military-industrial complex can't make the drones fast enough, according to the New York Times, to fly in the United States, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
So they're outfitting second-hand airplanes as spy planes.
Ooh, that's a good idea.
Yeah.
And, you know, that's great because you don't, you know, it's just the King Air, you know, who knows?
Yeah, King Air flying around and around.
Yeah, yeah.
How high can they go, King Air?
I think the operating ceiling is between 20 and 25,000 feet.
I mean, it's pressurized, so, you know, but I'm not entirely sure.
But I think a nice altitude is like 18,000 feet for a King Air.
That's good.
But literally because we can't build the drones quick enough.
Interesting news on the earthquake machine front.
An earthquake struck the Netherlands.
Gitmo Nation lowlands.
That's about time.
4.6 magnitude.
I think this might be some form of a record.
Very shallow, 10 kilometers deep.
So you know what that means.
Someone flipped the switch.
I don't know.
Someone's making trouble over there.
And they just go ahead and flip the switch.
Good job on that.
Yay!
Yeah.
Just thinking if I had anything else that was...
Because we've got to wrap this up.
Oh, yes.
Gibbonation falafel.
Israel.
So there's a lot of crap going on there.
Yeah, in fact, there's a front page story, the New York Times front page, beyond Cairo, Israel sensing a wider siege.
So they're distracting us from the fact that the public is protesting, and the articles about all this, you know, the ill will between Egypt, Israel, and the rest of them.
So what I picked up on is that the host of a big news show resigned on the air, So there's this billionaire.
They were doing a piece on him.
And his attorneys said, you better not air that.
And then Channel 10, I guess it is, went into negotiations with the billionaire's representatives.
And it turned into, they had to do an apology on the show for being nasty to this guy, who of course is a dick.
And then the host of the show, and I think several other journalists said, screw this, we're out.
Well, you know the irony of this story?
I don't know what the deal is, but the apology went to Shelly Adelson, the guy who ran Comdex and is the big owner of the Sands Hotel in Vegas, and I actually know the guy personally.
Is he a dick?
He's a billionaire.
I think he's probably a dick, yeah.
I don't think he'd argue the point.
But I don't know what he's got to do with Israel.
Well, because they...
I don't know how they ran...
No, I think they're going to try to put casinos in to balance the budget, and I think Adelson is involved.
Okay, that would make sense.
I have one last clip that I want to play, but you haven't played all of your clips.
Is there anything you want to do before we get out?
No, I'll probably save the clips.
What's this look, look, uh, Carney Blather?
Oh, okay, well this is an interesting clip for people who are big worshippers of Fox.
This is Carney.
Jay Carney shows up on O'Reilly every so often and they get into this discussion.
They were discussing Obama's speech.
Jay Carney is the spokeshole for the White House.
Right, who's a former Time Magazine editor.
And he, uh, gets into a, he makes a faux pas.
Right in the middle of something he says about halfway through the clip.
I'm going to see if you can catch it.
He makes this funny faux pas which cracked me up.
And O'Reilly who's obviously not paying attention.
This is classic Fox guys.
They just talk but they never listen.
And when you hear it, the faux pas itself really says it all.
Well, look, Bill, I think that the American people are tired.
The story here isn't about what, you know, people who aren't elected and sent to Washington said.
It's not about, like, somebody's association through Six Degrees and their party and what they said.
I know, but you should have said, look, the president doesn't feel that way.
What the American people care about are not the sideshows.
Well, look, the President feels, as he said tonight, that we need to put party ahead of country, we need to listen to the American people, and we need to do the things that we can agree on in a bipartisan way.
And look, I think you probably saw that Speaker Boehner put out a statement after the President's speech, and I think that's great, and I think Gary Cantor did too.
Was this somehow related to Rick Perry being six degrees of separation from the Democrats?
No.
They were just talking about the speech and O'Reilly's giving him crap.
There was no content in there if you didn't notice.
I noticed.
That's why I'm searching.
I'm digging.
But that's why I think O'Reilly was zoned out.
I heard it.
Carney clearly said that Obama wants to put party ahead of country.
Oh crap, I didn't hear that.
Let me listen to that again.
That's awesome.
Well, look, Bill, I think that the American people are tired.
The story here isn't about what, you know, people who aren't elected and sent to Washington said.
It's not about, like, somebody's association through Six Degrees and their party and what they said.
Look, I know, but you should have said, look, the president doesn't feel that way.
What the American people care about are not the sideshows.
Well, look, the president feels, as he said tonight, that we need to put party ahead of country, we need to listen to the American people, and we need to do that.
Wow.
It's because you're so conditioned for the phrase country ahead of party that I didn't catch it.
Yeah, and neither did O'Reilly, but it just stuck out like a sore thumb.
This was about somebody making some comment.
This wasn't about the speech.
This was about some other little, one of these things the right-wing talk shows pick up on and they make a big deal out of it.
And that's what it was about.
I can't remember exactly the exact incident that they're complaining about, but this party ahead of country thing, and it was so clear.
It wasn't like he caught himself.
No.
He just plowed right ahead, and O'Reilly didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything, and that was the end of it.
Well, since you brought up the O'Reilly clip, I did have one waiting in the wings.
And this is about...
Well, there's two things in here.
There's something really amazing that comes at the end of it.
But this is about, apparently during the commercial break, and we all saw the pictures, Rick Perry goes over to Ron Paul and assaults him.
Like, grabs him by the wrist and is like shaking his finger in his face.
And what astounds me, of course, is that there's no video of this anywhere.
Well, let me tell you, there's video of this.
Someone has it.
It's somewhere in the video truck.
This was recorded.
It wasn't passed over.
And of course, we don't know.
And by the way, where's Ron Paul saying, hey, this douchebag came over and threatened me.
So I'm waiting for Ron Paul to come out and say something.
But O'Reilly took this as a chance to diminish what one of the frontrunners is of the Republican campaign.
Bill, there was one moment last night in the debate that you did not see, and it's interesting because it's telling.
There's a real blood fight going on between Ron Paul, the congressman from Texas, and Rick Perry, the governor of Texas.
And at one point during an ad break, Perry walked away from his podium, went over to Ron Paul, shook hands, grasped Ron Paul's wrist with another, and really got in his face.
We may never know what was said, but Paul has been saying that Rick Perry isn't a true conservative, pointing out that Perry was a Democrat, and...
The public didn't see it last night, but Rick Perry gave him an earful last night.
Yeah, I don't know why, because with all due respect to the congressman, he's not really a factor.
And we had this last night on our program.
He's entertaining, he's a gadfly, he has some good ideas, but he has no shot.
He's a clown!
Bill, can I address...
Go ahead, Carl.
Go ahead.
Can I address the earlier question you raised about why the GOP and the Reagan Library hosted this event?
I think it has to do with a behind-the-scenes fact, which is that a key executive, Politico, is also a key executive at the Reagan Library.
That was the one we were looking for last week.
That's why Politico is so important.
There you have it.
Ron Paul, it's not important.
Just a gadfly.
Gadfly.
He's just a loser.
He has demeaned Ron Paul since his name was first thrown into the pot.
O'Reilly has hated Ron Paul from the beginning.
He doesn't like hearing that type of message.
O'Reilly himself is a Democrat.
Well, the Democrats run Fox.
We all know this.
Yeah, and he's a phony in that regard.
And he doesn't even pay attention to the carny when he drops a bomb like he did.
And it's bull crap, the whole thing.
People listening to Fox think they're getting any kind of a straight scoop or just fooling themselves.
Yeah, really.
We really appreciate everyone helping out as usual.
Thanks to all the wonderful artists who are always doing great work for us on creating album art.
It's very important.
It always makes for bigger support of the show somehow.
I can't explain it.
Dimensionality.
And to wind it up today, did you know, John, that the United Kingdom of Gitmo Nation East has started growing their own poppies?
But they can't get enough out of Afghanistan or they're thinking they're bailing out or what?
Well, the people are questioning this and answers are not coming forthrightly.
Field and his group, Poppy Relief, think Afghan opium should be legalized instead.
It would benefit Afghan farmers, raise much-needed revenue for the government's nation rebuild, and stop the opium falling into the hands of the drug cartels.
Field says it should be military strategy too.
In Afghanistan, we have chosen bombs rather than brains.
And anybody who would be thinking about how do we get ordinary people, ordinary farmers who see poppies as a cash crop, how do we get them to protect the backs of our troops, we will be thinking about how do we harness this crop, how do we pay them for it, and how do we then use that crop to transfer it into medicines to counter pain.
Burned in Afghanistan and kept a secret here in Britain.
No one wants to talk about the UK's opium growing programme.
We asked both the farmers and the company they grow for, McFarlane Smith, if they would give us an interview.
McFarlane Smith said they wouldn't allow the farmers to talk to us because it's part of their contract with the Home Office that they keep the poppy growing hush-hush.
The Home Office also declined to comment.
While poppies are increasingly harvested in Britain, the so-called war on drugs is being decisively lost.
The UN says opium production in Afghanistan has been on the rise since the US occupation began in 2001.
Laura Emmett, RT, Oxford.
So, this is very confusing to me.
I mean, really.
We're losing the war on drugs, so let's grow opium.
I mean, and there were two opium wars.
And this, of course, all once again comes back to China.
And I'm wondering if we're not just in the third opium war.
We're just not missing the broader spectrum of all of this.
I mean, without a doubt, heroin is huge.
I mean, it's like, you know, my daughter tells me everything.
And she says, you know, at least half the people that she sees here in Los Angeles are doing heroin one way or the other.
And not like, you know, mainlining it, but, you know, they're smoking it.
Right.
And it's a real problem.
And this is just not Los Angeles.
This is, you know, like Nebraska.
Yeah, but there's a lot to go around, apparently.
Have the Chiners maybe just reversed the whole joke is on us now?
And they're like, hey, let's get all these guys stoned now.
It works so well on us.
Let's get them stoned, and then we'll go on...
No, I think this just goes...
I don't think so.
I don't think the Chinese care about that.
I don't think that's part of their scheme.
They're just...
They're out to make money through industrialization and...
Grabbing as much oil and minerals as they can to support a growing country.
I really don't see the Chinese in on this action.
I think it's just the military and the drug guys.
Everyone's on the cool scheme but us.
We've got a scheme of our own.
To deliver the truth to the public at large.
With a vow of poverty in the background.
It's a lovely thing.
Oops, let's try that one instead.
Say that again, because I liked how it sounded.
Do you remember?
No, what was it?
Deliver the truth to the public at large!
Oh, deliver the truth to the public at large!
There you go.
So there you have it, everybody!
And so we'll be on somewhere around Thursday.
Either I will have a mouth filled with Novocaine, or John will be on a tin can with a string.
We'll figure it out one way or the other.
We always do seem to.
I'm coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center.
I got my eye out for them drones.
I'm going to blow them out of the sky with my double barrel.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley.
And it's Grandpa Day today in the U.S. of A. And probably...
At the households that Grandpa lives in.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Happy Grandparents Day, everybody.
And happy 9-11.
Let's go out and celebrate.
We'll talk to you again on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
No Agenda In the morning, Gitmo Nation.
