	Oh no, what happened?
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, September 29th, 2011.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 343.
	This is no agenda.
	Adding the final dabs of glue to my homemade drone 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'm telling you, it's going to be boiling hot today.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Not here, my friend.
	SoCal is fogged in.
	Well, I think it's going to be our last day of heat.
	Yeah, it was beautiful when I was there last week.
	It was really nice.
	No, this is hot.
	Like, literally hot.
	Oh, I feel so horrible for it.
	It's not actually nice.
	Okay.
	Hey, in the morning to you, John.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry and all ships at sea and boots on the ground and feet in the air.
	Yes, and ankles in the straps.
	And of course, let's not forget our human resources who are all charged up, ready to go in the chat room at noagendachat.net, noagendastream.com.
	Very nice to see all of you there.
	Hundreds and hundreds of people listening live.
	That's great.
	And this is the No Agenda Show, the best podcast in the universe.
	That's what everybody keeps telling us.
	And, boy oh boy, we were just talking before the show and I see that John has a clip of Palooza lined up.
	I also have a ton of clips and it's very obvious why this happens.
	It was non-stop Michael Jackson news everywhere.
	Yeah, there was a lot of that, but the story that got my attention is this lone wolf story.
	Oh boy, I've deconstructed it actually.
	Well, I'd like you to do that, but let's go over the story first, and let me just tell you what, I don't even know, to me, it's like, it's so stupid.
	Well, I have a couple clips, and actually this was my lead story.
	Because we were so expertly set up for this.
	So expertly set up.
	How's that?
	How do you see we were expertly set up?
	I don't think this story is even catching on.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	No, it is.
	I mean, it's problematic because the Michael Jackson stuff is live and people are more interested in that.
	But yeah, we would...
	What?
	What?
	You looked at these...
	This guy...
	I don't know...
	He's not real.
	That's a Facebook photo they found somewhere and they just jacked it in.
	No, no, no.
	I'm talking about these airplanes.
	Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
	They have a picture of the guy behind a drum kit and they pulled it from Facebook.
	No, I'm talking about the model plane.
	Yes, I know!
	And they have a picture of the guy who was set up by the FBI. Well, I'm not concerned about that.
	Writers has outstanding photos of these planes.
	I would like you to explain to me as the aviator how these things are supposed to get off the ground.
	Okay, first of all, let me tell you how we were set up.
	And I went to the show notes and I went back to August 8, 2011.
	Perfect.
	Two months ago.
	Do you remember the story, John, of the hacker conference in Vegas when these two shills who work for a government contractor came out and said, it's so easy to build your own drone at home.
	Do you remember this?
	It was called WASP, the Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform.
	Remember this?
	At the Black Hat Computer Security Conference?
	Come on, tell me.
	Hold on, this is not impressing me.
	Okay, so this is where it all started.
	This is where the seed was planted in your mind, and it was everywhere.
	Everyone was talking about, ooh, well, it's so easy to build a drone, build a drone, it's so easy to build a drone.
	And then we have 60 Minutes earlier this week, 60 Minutes, where they talked to Kelly, the police commissioner of the New York, well, they call it police department, but it's actually an army, a full army.
	Here's a little quote from him.
	Are you satisfied that you've dealt with threats from aircraft, even light planes, model planes, that kind of thing?
	There you go.
	He goes on to say that he can, well, I'll tell you what he says, but light planes, model airplanes, that is all a setup.
	It's a complete setup for this.
	Just listen to 30 seconds of his answer because apparently he has all kinds of capability.
	Well, it's something that's on our radar screen.
	I mean, in an extreme situation, we would have some means to take down a plane.
	Do you mean to say that the NYPD has the means to take down an aircraft?
	Yes, I'd prefer not to get into the details, but obviously this would be in a very extreme situation.
	You have the equipment and the training?
	Yes.
	Yes, I got everything I need now.
	We have to listen to the report from the compromised mainstream media news sources to actually pull apart what this is about.
	And as an aviator, I'm not a remote control aviator.
	I'm not a hobbyist.
	But I did, of course, do the logical thing, which is go look at the specifications of said airplanes.
	And there's two kinds.
	The pictures that were shown kind of got mixed up.
	There's the $5,000 carbon fiber version, which these things can go like 200 miles an hour.
	They have a real jet engine in it.
	And then they have the styrofoam model, which some stations were showing the styrofoam model, which does probably about 30 miles an hour.
	And you can't do much with it.
	If you split it against the Pentagon, it would be well.
	We just splat into a little piece of styrofoam poop.
	But we have to listen to the report to really pick it apart because the wording is fantastic.
	26-year-old Rezwan Furtis went by the name Bollywood when he played in a Massachusetts band.
	But U.S. officials say the drummer is also a self-radicalized jihadist intent on attacking Americans in the U.S. and overseas.
	Furtis was arrested this morning and now faces charges of plotting attacks and supporting a foreign terrorist organization.
	Furtis was arrested after he bought what he believed to be 25 pounds of plastic explosives, three grenades, and six automatic assault rifles from undercover FBI agents posing as al-Qaeda operatives.
	I like that.
	The undercover FBI agents posing as al-Qaeda operatives, which is, by the way, it's their moonlight job anyway.
	Over the past nine months, agents recorded multiple conversations in which Ferdas laid out plans for an aerial attack.
	He bought one small drone aircraft.
	Okay.
	Right there is where the big lies start to come in.
	It is not a drone aircraft.
	It's a model airplane.
	I'm sure people have looked all over the web now, hopefully, for the F-86 that was depicted.
	You can buy these.
	It's a kit, and you have to put it together yourself.
	It's got a real turbine engine, and it is about one six-scale model.
	And it's not a drone, okay?
	It's not a drone.
	A drone is something completely different.
	It's a model airplane where you basically have to see this thing to be able to fly it.
	And planned to buy others, which he then allegedly hoped to fill with explosives, and flying to the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol from this Washington Park along the Potomac River.
	Okay, couple of problems.
	Are you still with me, John?
	Yeah, I'm listening.
	A couple of problems.
	Fill it with explosives.
	Now, they were talking about 25 pounds of C4. I doubt you could even put 4 pounds of C4, according to the specs that I'm reading.
	It seems unlikely you can put anything.
	Those things are designed to run with zero additional weight.
	Exactly.
	Besides that, you kind of have to see it to be able to steer it.
	I've looked all over the hobbyist forums.
	Yeah, there's no cameras in these things.
	No.
	But also people have tried to fly it with automatic GPS, so the GPS will then basically make it fly a certain route and come back.
	And I have not been able to find any successful attempts of such an event.
	Moreover, C-4 is very stable explosives.
	C-4 doesn't, you know, you can throw that against the wall, it's not just going to explode.
	So it'd have to have some form of detonator.
	Well, they have changed the story.
	Ah, okay, good.
	What have you heard?
	The original story was he was just going to let it crash into the Pentagon and the entire Pentagon somehow was going to blow up from a mere 24 pounds of C4. I don't know if he knows how big the Pentagon is.
	Well, he took pictures of it, the bastard, that lone wolf, self-radicalized, horrible man.
	They changed the story in the later reports from Reuters.
	Now he had designed a cell phone triggering mechanism that was supposedly tested in Afghanistan and killed four soldiers, whereby he commented that this is great.
	There's more to the story.
	He traveled to Washington to do surveillance, snapping this picture of the Pentagon.
	It's called being a tourist, by the way.
	Now being a tourist taking pictures in Washington is called doing surveillance.
	Official stress at no time was Furtis outside the control of his undercover handlers.
	Love that phrase, handlers.
	Now what do we always understand a handler to be?
	A CIA guy.
	Yeah, but a handler is someone who actually...
	Who tells you what to do.
	Yes, manages you, exactly.
	And these, I believe, the way the report goes, are the government's words.
	So in that sense, he presented no actual danger.
	But he repeatedly told the agents that he was driven to kill Americans, which he called enemies of Allah.
	He told the undercovers, quote, I just can't stop.
	There is no other choice for me.
	Ferd, as a U.S. citizen, has a college degree in physics and apparently some proficiency when it comes to building explosive devices.
	We're told in the course of the investigation, officials say he converted eight cell phones into detonators, which he thought were being used to trigger IEDs against U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq.
	Bob, I wonder, since the FBI agents supplied the weapons as part of the sting operation, what are the chances that Furtis will claim that he was in trap?
	Yes!
	Well, he's going to try, Scott, but the agents say that over a period of months they gave him multiple opportunities to back out.
	Oh, here we go again.
	Now listen to this.
	Listen to what their back out opportunity was.
	They would say, hey, you might kill innocents.
	He was intent on going forward saying he didn't care.
	He saw it as his duty.
	Thank you, Bob.
	Hey, you know, you might want to stop because you might, like, kill people.
	So did you, one of the things I did is I went to Willow and looked at the guy's house.
	Oh, really?
	Okay, cool.
	Yeah.
	He actually lives on 22 Coburn Street in Ashland, Massachusetts, and people can look it up for themselves.
	He lives in a $560,000 pretty big place that is in an area that's very heavily...
	It's a beautiful area, wooded.
	Probably the prices of housing is not that great there, and it's probably a million-dollar mansion anyplace else.
	It makes no sense to me That coming out of this situation...
	And all the pictures taken of these jets seem to be taken in some sort of a suburban environment, not near his house, which is very...
	You can see what I'm...
	And by the way, notice the subtle Playboy advertising on one of these jets with the Playboy bunny on the tail.
	That's because that Playboy new TV series isn't doing too well.
	But you'll find me a speck of that jet.
	I have the speck.
	I have the speck.
	Okay, well give me what's the wingspan and what's the length, because this thing is huge.
	No, they are about that size.
	I don't know.
	I've looked at all the YouTube videos of those things flying, and they're not that big.
	Well, this is because you're seeing the picture of the Styrofoam version.
	Because you're right.
	The jets that are the carbon fiber that fly 200 miles an hour are not that big.
	The Styrofoam ones are that big, and they basically have kind of a Ram air duct type engine system in it.
	The thing is the size of a small car.
	Look at the car next to it.
	I know.
	No, I'm not disagreeing with you.
	I'm not disagreeing.
	I'm only saying that they're showing you a model that looks really big, but one that actually can't do the job even if it was possible.
	The smaller ones are the ones that could maybe do it, But then again, you can't pack 25 pounds of C4 into them.
	The whole thing is clearly a ruse.
	They have one guy who comes out and says, yeah, he lived with me, but I'm not going to vilify him.
	So, you know, we lived together for a few years.
	He's my roommate, and then he went on his merry way.
	That's all I'm going to say.
	Nothing.
	And by the way, they don't talk to any remote control hobbyists about any of the real possibilities of this happening.
	It's a complete setup.
	A setup to get more control, more of the army or the U.S. military drones in disguise so we can protect against these crazy homemade drones.
	This is the meme.
	Homemade drones.
	It's hardly homemade.
	It's been engineered by somebody.
	No, no.
	It's a kit.
	You buy the kit.
	It's all in the show notes.
	I've got the links to the kit site and everything.
	It's about $5,000.
	You have to put it together yourself.
	Literally, there's no mention of all about a payload because it can't really carry a payload.
	But the carbon fiber ones can get up to about 200 miles an hour.
	The one you're seeing, the styrofoam one, that's a kit for about $400.
	It's totally bogus.
	The whole thing from beginning to end is bogus.
	And I don't think this guy is even real.
	He just pulls some Facebook picture, some grainy picture of some dude behind drums.
	Yeah, I know.
	It doesn't make a lot of sense.
	And then this house he lives in doesn't make any sense either.
	No.
	Also...
	What is the deal with the...
	They're also supposed to have six buddies.
	They're all going to grab AK-47 for some...
	Yeah, this is really smart.
	Yeah, this will work.
	And do what?
	We're going to attack.
	You know, I think they need to...
	Whoever's behind this bullcrap, they need to get better writers.
	I mean, this is not even remotely believable.
	And what they'll do...
	It just sounds like the ravings of a lunatic.
	First, I'm going to blow up the Pentagon with 25 pounds of explosives, which seems highly unlikely.
	And C-4, by the way, is not that much more explosive than TNT in 25 pounds.
	And it doesn't blow up on...
	You can shoot into C-4 and it won't blow up.
	We've got him covered.
	But then he's going to do what?
	Take over the place with six guys and AK-47s?
	And a flag.
	Yeah.
	That's all he needs.
	And a couple grenades.
	And a rubber knife and a compass.
	And the guy's all set.
	Does anyone believe this scenario?
	Yes, of course!
	No, listen.
	I was at the dentist's office yesterday to get the temporary crown in.
	And so Dr.
	G is going to put the real one in.
	Oh, by the way, just as a side note.
	So he comes in.
	He's an Egyptian.
	He's an Egyptian.
	I'm having a great chat with him.
	We're talking about the CIA. You know, I'm laying my total smack on him.
	The guy says, okay, let's do this.
	He opens my mouth.
	He goes in with his, you know, forcep, whatever it is to pull out the temporary.
	And he starts tugging on the wrong side.
	I'm like...
	I said, dude, it's the other one.
	It's on the other side of my mouth.
	He said, oh, yeah.
	And I got distracted.
	Great.
	Yeah, thanks a lot.
	But I'm sitting in the waiting room, and there's two or three people there, and they have Fox News on in the waiting room.
	And this report comes through, and people were literally, John, verbally going, oh, wow, no way.
	Stupid idiots!
	Literally!
	And I was biting my tongue.
	I'm like, I'm not going to say it.
	I'm not going to say it.
	I'm not going to say anything.
	And they're going, oh.
	And they showed the plane.
	Oh, my God.
	What's this country coming to?
	Oh, my God.
	It's horrible.
	It's just, yeah.
	So the answer to your question is, yes, people are stupid.
	And they do believe it.
	And here's how it works.
	Just like the underpants bomber.
	They're going to figure out some way later if that guy is real, too.
	I don't know if any of these guys are real, if they exist.
	I've never seen him do a perp walk.
	Where's his mugshot?
	Yeah.
	No, we don't.
	We have a drum shot.
	We've got a drum shot of the drone bomber.
	And here's another issue.
	If his name is Bollywood, that indicates that he's an Indian.
	Indian, yeah.
	So how many Indian, Al-Qaeda, whoever, whatever he's for?
	How many Indians are there involved at that level?
	I mean, there are Indian Muslims, but they're not a bunch of...
	Self-radicalized!
	So here's how it'll work.
	In a year or two...
	I think somebody fucked up with the Bollywood thing, by the way.
	That's possible.
	In a year or two, we're going to hear a very similar report to what I have here about the underpants bomber.
	Listen to how they're going to try this guy in court, how they're going to taint the jury, influence them about this horrible crime, which I guess wasn't even committed.
	The guy just burned his dick.
	Thank you.
	The man prosecutors say tried to blow up that Detroit-bound jet with explosive underpants is back in court again.
	And of course, prosecutors say back on Christmas Day of 2009, the suspect tried to ignite this bomb thing down in his undies on a flight from the Amsterdam.
	Officials say it could have killed close to 300 people on board if he'd had a clue and it had exploded.
	Prosecutors say they want to show...
	A demonstration video to help prove it.
	Mike Tobin's live in Chicago.
	Mike, this is about whether they should be able to show a video of what might have happened, but didn't happen, right?
	Right, and now the judge is going to allow that evidence.
	The jury's going to see a model of what the underwear bomb looked like before that unsuccessful detonation.
	So not going to show the actual underwear bomb.
	He's going to show a model of the underwear bomb.
	...that only succeeded in burning Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.
	And then what you were talking about, they're going to see a model of the bomb and show what it will look like on video if indeed it was an entirely successful detonation.
	Not only that...
	The jury is going to get a look at what's often called the martyr video, or Shahid video, what a bomber will make before he sets off on a mission.
	And what's interesting is Abdulmutallab argued that the jury shouldn't see that video because non-Muslims wouldn't be able to understand it.
	And there's one more video that was produced by Al-Qaeda.
	By the way, Al-Qaeda is now producing half of this season's ABC lineup.
	Did you know that?
	They're the new Chuck Lorre of television.
	Seems so.
	Yeah, Al-Qaeda is producing.
	It shows how Abdul Muttalab was able to circumvent Western security.
	The jury's going to see that as well, Shep.
	If you want to crime, it's pre-crime.
	So here's a question I have for you.
	So wait, wait, hold on a second.
	By this logic, that means that now when somebody is accused of armed robbery, they can show a picture of what had happened if they had actually shot everybody in the room.
	Yeah, no, they'll show Ocean's Eleven, and they'll hand out popcorn.
	So what happened to Ocean's Eleven?
	It's like, here's what could have happened.
	Here's what the plan was.
	Find him guilty of murder.
	He looks like George Clooney.
	I understand that.
	No, that's exactly the way it's going to go.
	But here's my question.
	Why is it that we have this court case of the underpants bomber?
	The guy is...
	It was going to blow everything up.
	And we have no live cameras in the courtroom, yet we have 24-7 live coverage of Michael Jackson's doctor's trial.
	Why is that?
	Why do you think?
	Welcome to the Matrix.
	This past week was beautiful.
	I mean, the KTLA morning show, which I watched for the Happy Puppy News, and Mark Christie with his weather report, which is rarely right, they would stop at 8.15.
	That's it for our morning show.
	We're going to go live to the Michael Jackson trial.
	It's just unbelievable.
	And everyone in this town, in this douchebag town, that's all they talk about.
	Like, wow, did you hear that audio of Michael Jackson slurring?
	It was pretty funny.
	I actually tried to speed it up, see if it was spun down or something, and that didn't work out too well.
	But I had my doubts about that.
	You could change pitches.
	Yeah, but it may have been a pitch and speed change.
	Yeah, and there seems to be a lot of people who happen to have screenshots of their iPhone and videotaping their iPhone and recordings on their iPhone.
	What is this, an iPhone 5 preamble?
	It's just nuts.
	And there is actual stuff going on in the world.
	So I wonder what the movie is with the guy and these models.
	There's got to be some movie coming out with a lone wolf with model jets.
	Well, no, there is.
	Hold on a second.
	I have it right here.
	It's a TV series.
	And the TV series is...
	I didn't clip it because there's not much to hear.
	Nikita.
	Here we go.
	Oh yeah, Nikita's supposed to be...
	I haven't seen it, but this season's supposed to be loaded with no agenda memes.
	Yeah, they got drones.
	Here, here's the YouTube video.
	You can kind of hear it.
	This is...
	One of our producers actually went through the trouble of clipping this, of getting this video and putting it up on YouTube for us.
	Incoming!
	The drones are coming in.
	And they're shooting at the drones.
	The drones are shooting back and winning.
	Take that, you terrorists!
	We're droning you.
	They blew up the propane tanks.
	Drones.
	Yeah, oh, they just flew under a bridge.
	And they, whoa, they did an impossible maneuver there.
	They're dropping smoke bombs, tear gas, sleeping gas, apparently.
	Yes.
	Drones.
	Drone Nation.
	Nikita, that's the big promo.
	So, alright, so we know this is bull crap.
	Now, there's an interesting story in this morning's New York Times in the international section on A6, which just seems like some sort of intelligence plant, and we've got a new name, a new guy to follow.
	Oh, good.
	I'm sure you haven't gotten this guy's name.
	The title of the story is, Even Al-Qaeda is Criticizing Iran's President Over 9-11 Claim.
	This is the best story ever.
	You should look up David Goodman and see what else he's done.
	But it goes on and on about Al-Qaeda publications.
	Al-Qaeda PR, a subdivision.
	All the new crap that they're doing.
	I have graphics heavy, so I guess they're using Ogilvy or somebody to do their layouts.
	PowerPoint.
	Their PowerPoint.
	Another article said to be written by Osama bin Laden before his death was more characteristic of the Qaeda publication, which is believed to be the work of Saudi-born, here we go, Saudi-born American, Samir Khan, who moved to Yemen in 2009.
	So we got Yemen, Saudi Arabia, American, and some guy we've never heard of.
	And Lone Wolf.
	And a lot of PowerPoint.
	My prediction is this guy's name will start cropping up in the next month or so.
	Of course.
	Just like we predicted Hakana, which was getting a lot of PR, they're now top of the list with some...
	I don't know if you've been following that, but Admiral Mullen said, hey, these guys, they're terrorists.
	They got links to Pakistan.
	And then the White House is going, oh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
	Ixnay and the Akistani pay, dude.
	Don't say that yet.
	It's not time.
	Yeah, it's just, it's crazy.
	The net is closing in around us while we're being, well, not we, but while we're being distracted by Michael Jackson gibber.
	The guy's dead, okay?
	Dead.
	He was murdered.
	That's all you can think about?
	Stupid douchebags.
	That's not such a big deal up here.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, it's a real big deal here.
	No, seriously.
	In fact, I picked up last night, because I think we should do a segment on the show if we have time, which seems unlikely, of the Curry Dvorak Media Consulting Firm.
	Yeah.
	I have the four teasers from the four major Hollywood shows.
	Oh.
	Extra being the best of the teasers, then Entertainment Tonight being the second best, and then the other two, which is Access Hollywood and...
	Well, why don't we do that now?
	Because won't that help everyone understand how lucky they are to be listening to the best podcasts in the world and not being distracted?
	Because none of our listeners actually watch this crap.
	It's actually a service.
	I think this is a very good service you've done here.
	Well, we can do that.
	It's going to take a few minutes to go through these clips, but let me just preface the clips.
	With the fact that I don't think Michael Jackson was mentioned on any one of these shows at all.
	And these are the national shows.
	They do have a slightly twisted look at everything.
	You have to remember Entertainment Tonight, which is the oldest of these shows, is all bought and paid for.
	So it's serious selling movies, selling TV shows, selling, selling, selling.
	The other ones try to put in some...
	Celebrity crap that is also paid for, but it's not so much about television and movies.
	It's sometimes just about the record business or just to keep people in the news.
	These so-called entertainment news programs are all about the promotion.
	It's all about selling the new fall lineup.
	And if you want to go through them, before we go to our producer segment, you want to start with the worst and go to the best?
	Yeah, sure, sure.
	Well, the worst is a toss-up.
	Access Hollywood and the Insider used to be good.
	I would say Access Hollywood right now is absolutely good.
	It has the worst teaser they could use.
	The Curry Dvorak Media Group to help them improve this because it is just no good.
	Okay, so we'll handle this as the Curry Dvorak Media Consulting Group as we are going through how they need to work on their actual teasers.
	Access.
	Here we go.
	Here we go.
	The highest attended funeral of all time, you know?
	Charlie Sheen on men's record-breaking premiere.
	It's exclusive.
	I'm Billy Bush.
	So, is Charlie taking this like a man?
	It was a little bizarre watching it.
	J-Lo embraces the single life.
	Does this include a lap dance?
	Well, I gotta stop here.
	So first we're promoting the new season of Two and a Half Men.
	Then we're promoting that stupid Fiat 500 car that J-Lo has done the video for.
	So that's the second commercial.
	A rare style showdown for Jennifer and Angelina.
	I'm Shawn Robinson.
	Plus, Bieber's grand romance.
	That's a showdown for Jennifer and Angelina.
	That is to promote Brad Pitt's movie.
	Jester for Selena.
	Guys, do not let your girlfriend see this.
	I do feel confident to come back.
	Busted, then a breakdown.
	It's Misha Barton back from the brink.
	Jill Martin has her riveting cautionary tale of fame.
	You almost can't help but go a little nuts.
	I remember every single thing about that day.
	Nearly killed in Iraq and now dancing.
	J.R. Martinez gives Kit Hoover every extraordinary detail of his ordeal.
	My hand is burned and my arm is burned, but my wrist isn't.
	Yeah, that's actually quite interesting, the Dancing with the Stars veteran.
	Have you followed that at all, John?
	Yeah, I have a little bit.
	I mean, the Dancing with the Stars promotion this year is absolutely extreme.
	Yeah.
	But I think they have to go up against two and a half men, if I'm not mistaken.
	So there's just like...
	No, no, no, no.
	It comes on later.
	It comes on later.
	Oh, okay.
	No, but they've got Nancy Grace, that turd.
	Whose tits showed the other day, and that's big news.
	She has an areola the size of a garbage can.
	This is not okay.
	She's got to waste the size of a garbage can onto a garbage truck.
	No, no, no.
	All right.
	Let's move on to the...
	So Access Hollywood is not even doing a good job of promoting the things they're paid to promote.
	How about Insider?
	Is that next on your list?
	The Insider would be next on the list.
	And by the way, you have to note that of all these shows, there's only two with actual celebrity hosts.
	And one is this Billy Bush guy who's very milk-toasty.
	And then the top guy, which is on Extra, which is Mario Lopez, who everybody talks about.
	And he's actually...
	Don't drag it out too long.
	Let's get through this segment quick.
	Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol striking back after her mother is called a devil.
	And much worse, we have her response.
	Plus, the weight wars behind the scenes on tonight's Dancing with the Stars.
	I'm Brooke Anderson.
	And I'm Kevin Frazier.
	The Insider is on.
	I'm bruised.
	I'm banged up, but I'm shrinking.
	We're doubling down.
	Nancy versus Ricky.
	Who could steal Kirstie's title of Dancing's Weight Loss Queen?
	It's dramatic.
	You know, I'm just like slimming down.
	Plus, the personal heartbreak that inspired Ricky to dance.
	My grandfather died of AIDS. And China Phillips' vasectomy bet with husband Billy.
	You know what?
	I take it all back.
	I don't think I can do it.
	It's too painful.
	I don't think I can do it.
	So there's a couple things.
	Yeah, but you should have let that last part play.
	Just for the purpose of the following.
	Baldwin, if I get the trophy, he gets the snip.
	Stop it.
	What kind of a woman...
	Did you hear what she said?
	Yeah, I said he gets the trophy and then I'll blow him.
	No, he has to have a vasectomy if she wins.
	Oh, my God.
	Is that sick?
	Yeah, the whole thing is sick.
	But this, okay, Michael Jackson or not, this is what people consider news.
	This is what they're watching.
	Oh, and by the way, the Bristol Palin thing at the beginning, they don't mention it.
	I thought it was very slick the way they did it.
	She's got a reality show coming up.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	Well, you know who else?
	And then we do have to get to our producers.
	You know, the most disgusting thing I saw when it comes to promotion...
	This is the thing that really irked me.
	And we need to talk about it a bit more after our producer thanks, our credits.
	This douchebag shows up on Wall Street who is promoting his latest book.
	I'm glad that Fox is here.
	Fox is here!
	And you know what?
	There is a God in heaven!
	Movie maker Michael Moore was delighted to see us and engage in a spirited debate over his anti-capitalist philosophy.
	And these people and the people across this country have no say in how our economic system is run.
	Has capitalism been good to you?
	Capitalism destroyed my town, Flint, Michigan.
	You personally, though.
	That's me personally.
	That's my town.
	Those are my family.
	That's my friends.
	People have suffered as a result of the greed from corporations.
	You've earned a lot through capitalism, right?
	You know, I have actually done pretty decent because people come see my movies.
	Dr.
	Moore says he hopes the day comes when he doesn't have to promote a new book or movie.
	I totally reject the system.
	That you've made a lot of money.
	You can give back all that money, right?
	A happy day for me when I... The happy day for me is when I'll be unemployed.
	Yeah, we'll all be dancing on your grave, Michael Moore.
	Okay, here's one.
	You guys, since you brought that up, you have to play this clip, which is Michael Moore has tried to co-opt the Occupy Wall Street thing.
	Yes, yes, for promoting his book, Asshole.
	Yeah, to promote his book.
	But here, you've got to play, this was done on Democracy Now!, which I have a number of clips from because it was so funny this week.
	But this ludicrous Occupy Wall Street story is...
	You probably haven't seen this.
	This is hilarious.
	The Occupy Wall Street protest in Lower Manhattan has entered its 11th day as hundreds of people continue to camp out just blocks from Wall Street.
	On Monday night, filmmaker Michael Moore visited the protest encampment.
	Police have barred the protesters from using any form of public address system at the encampment, so the crowd repeated Michael Moore's comments.
	Whatever you do, don't despair because this is the hard part.
	You're in the hard part right now.
	Whatever you do, don't say it.
	You're in the hard part.
	You're in the hard part right now.
	But everyone will remember.
	Everyone will remember.
	Three months from now.
	Six months from now.
	A hundred years from now.
	That you came down to this plaza.
	And you started this movement.
	Yeah, this was the thing that because they're not allowed to use a PA system, they're doing this repeat thing.
	And you know who else was down there co-opting the movement?
	Cornel West.
	Oh, that guy.
	So if you don't know who Cornel West is, he's a professor, right?
	Is he a Harvard professor?
	He's the dumbest, seemingly dumbest professor I've ever heard.
	He's always on Fox.
	I think he's Harvard.
	And he's an elitist.
	He is part of the problem.
	He's a total elitist.
	As far as I'm concerned.
	So he goes down and he does exactly the same thing.
	Beats will tremble in their boots.
	The elites will tremble in their roots.
	And we will send a message.
	And we will send a message.
	That this is the U.S. fall.
	That this is the U.S. fall.
	This goes on for like two minutes.
	So here's the question.
	What kind of protesters are these?
	Why doesn't somebody just get a bullhorn in there and get arrested?
	What difference does it make?
	This is bullcrap.
	I have a theory on this.
	So first of all, I truly believe that people are just fed up, got no job, nothing better to do.
	Let's go down here and let's start something.
	But of course, after we all bitched and moaned about mainstream coverage, well, be careful what you wish for, because now you're getting all the mainstream coverage you want, and they're ridiculing the entire idea.
	It's stupid.
	They have no direction.
	Here's a CNN laughing about it.
	And that was another ironic moment there.
	Josh talking about how he pretty much ditched his job, paid a $250 airline ticket to come to these protests.
	And a lot of these protesters are actually protesting the fact that they're college educated and they can't get jobs.
	Yet this guy left his job because he says that he believes in the cause.
	And we can understand that.
	So how many people did you talk to?
	I mean, we heard from three who didn't seem to have it all together, frankly.
	There are plenty of others down there.
	I talked to a good amount of people.
	I didn't have it all together.
	Now, of course they don't have it all together.
	Now, people, I have to make a call to arms here.
	This is pissing me off.
	You, by the way, I think you've nailed it.
	I think you've nailed it.
	The co-option is all part of a technique to slam the whole thing to make him look like a bunch of idiots, which is exactly what's going on.
	It's all part of the ridicule.
	Completely stupid.
	Capital F failed this Occupy Wall Street.
	Here's what you need to do.
	And I'm calling out to my sysadmins, the no agenda militia.
	If you want to make any type of statement, you need two things.
	First of all, you need branding.
	This is the Curry Dvorak Consulting Media Group here.
	Media consulting.
	Media consulting.
	The best branding we have, which I like a lot, is the V for Vendetta face mask.
	That's good because it's kind of scary.
	Everyone kind of gets it.
	It's like, ugh, it's a faceless thing.
	That's very good.
	So these masks, and by the way, shout here to Eric the Shill, I want to be selling these masks.
	I want one myself.
	I want a couple of them.
	We have to get on to the live shows.
	So when you have a live X Factor, when you have a live American Idol, when you have a live news shot, when you have a live result show for Dancing with the Stars, this is when you have to get in and you have to start making a presence.
	You don't have to say anything, just a presence.
	Next, please, somebody get me a transmitter.
	How hard can it be to stand next to a news truck and to beam into the signal?
	It can't be that hard.
	We've got tons of ham radio guys.
	This is not that difficult to do.
	We need to suppress the signal.
	We need to be jumping into live broadcasts.
	This is what has to happen.
	You've got to get to the Matrix, not that stupid Liberty Park being co-opted.
	It's idiotic.
	It's completely idiotic.
	It's completely idiotic!
	And I'm happy to write the scripts and produce the video.
	It's completely idiotic!
	It's completely idiotic!
	You sound like stupid drones!
	You sound like stupid drones!
	This is really not a good idea.
	Here, here's how the Greeks do it.
	Hold on a second.
	Because the Greeks, you know, they got their crap together now.
	This happened on live TV. No wonder the Greek news presenter was looking nervous.
	His state TV bulletin was about to be sabotaged by students protesting a higher education reform.
	The program was promptly pulled off the air and the uninvited guests denied the chance to voice their grievances live on screen.
	But of course they did get in.
	It was scary because people find that very frightening when you break down that third wall and you see the news guy and you see him starting to sweat and he looks off to the left or to the right and you see this whole crowd of people.
	That gets attention.
	That is scary.
	You've got to break through that wall.
	This is what has to happen.
	I'm all in.
	I'm in.
	I'll produce videos, audio.
	I'll break in live.
	I'll go down with my own news truck.
	I just need a little bit of technology.
	It's not all that hard.
	And get in, if you can sing, get into the auditions, go to the semifinals of X Factor, and then do it.
	Someone, please!
	Not this.
	This is so, so, this is such a fail.
	Such a fail.
	It's getting worse by the day, too.
	And it makes us all look like idiots.
	But the fact that they won't have the guts to actually put up a PA system because the cops said not to.
	Yeah.
	That's the end of it.
	I mean, and this idiotic, it sounds like you're being sworn into some public office with this repeating thing, or you're a church.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's ludicrous.
	Or a Nazi.
	Yeah, Nazis.
	It's dumb.
	Unbelievable.
	Really, really disappointing.
	As disappointing, I might add, as that bogus traitor that everyone...
	My dentist said this.
	Hey, man, did you see the traitor from BBC? He was talking about Goldman Sachs running the world.
	I love that traitor.
	Oh, are you kidding me?
	Yeah, Horowitz and I discussed him.
	Of course, Horowitz nails it.
	Of course, the guy's not even a traitor.
	Is he a real traitor?
	Well, who knows?
	According to Horowitz, no one's ever heard of him.
	He's probably trading home, trading outside in his basement.
	He's got no credibility.
	He's got no standing to make these comments.
	He's just some guy who they dug up.
	No one's ever heard of him.
	And they put him on the BBC and he does a whole fire and brimstone speech, which everybody wants to hear because they hate Goldman Sachs and everybody else.
	And the whole thing is bogus.
	And every single one of our, well, not every one, but a lot of our listeners and all the tweets I get from the tweeter, they all, whoa, listen to this.
	Oh, this guy's telling it like it is.
	The guy is a nobody.
	He's just some guy.
	I mean, I've been saying kind of the same thing, but at least when I produce some document, I'll have some information.
	This guy doesn't know anything.
	He's just some guy.
	He has a website called leadingtrader.com.
	If he was any good, he'd be working for Goldman Sachs, believe me.
	He's a consultant.
	He's just a consultant.
	And there's like speaking engagements for companies and talks about bull crap.
	And Horowitz pointed out, he says that if you really listen to and you've deconstructed, all the guy's doing is talking about himself.
	And if you carefully listen, apparently he missed the last downturn and now he sees an opportunity to short the market and make some money on the downside, which a lot of traders like to do.
	It does go down, it does go up.
	And he says, but this guy, it's just about him.
	He wasn't giving anybody any real information.
	He's just making allusions.
	And the fact that people lapped this up like it was going out of style is beyond me.
	So from his own website, leadingtrader.com, and this is posted way before the interview, which is probably where either A, some dipshit...
	BBC producer thought this was great because the guy is, quote, an experienced stock market trader, speaker, and mentor.
	So he might have seen the guy speak somewhere.
	Or he was a plant to rile people up.
	And here it is.
	One of my biggest regrets is that I did not make as much money as I should have done in the crash of 2008.
	I did not do too badly, though.
	I managed to capture the most of that year's trends, but I got sucked into the fear and the waiting for the news BS that everybody else was getting sucked into.
	I made a promise to myself, never again!
	That year taught me to stick to my trading plan and just trade the nice trends like a good trader.
	The guy, he had it on his website months before that.
	The exact same thing.
	He just wants to make money.
	And by the way, it kind of helps if you can start to steer sentiment.
	So stupid.
	No, the real stock trader, who was on CNBC, he had this to say, and no one talks about this guy.
	Let's get a check on how the currency market is faring this morning.
	U.S. dollar is showing some weakness here across the board when it comes to the yen, the euro, as well as the Swiss franc.
	Joseph Trevisani is the chief market analyst at FX Solutions.
	Joe, great to see you.
	Obviously, a lot of eyes are on euro, U.S. dollar.
	Some people are saying that we could test 2010 lows in the next Well, if you're looking at the Euro, I would look at 130.
	I think we're going to get there.
	You know, Art was absolutely right.
	What you're worried about now, more than anything else in the markets, is the financial system.
	It's what's going on in Europe.
	There was a story out in a German newspaper this morning.
	Talking about more than a trillion dollars supposedly unconfirmed of hidden losses in German banks.
	This is what's driving people to the treasuries and driving people to the dollar.
	I actually believe this guy, even though he disclaims it by saying supposedly unconfirmed, but that the German banks have a trillion dollars in exposure.
	That I believe.
	So for those of you who don't know, it's in the show notes, 343.nashownotes.com.
	You can see this BBC trader.
	And I am...
	You can also go to Dvorak.org slash blog.
	I've got him on there.
	And then you can then listen to the DHM plug show where Horowitz...
	I'll play it right after today's No Agenda.
	I'm just...
	I was disappointed, literally disappointed by our own audience.
	I hate to say it because, you know, you guys are pretty switched on.
	You send a lot of good stuff.
	But this is like, really...
	Please.
	Did anyone even Google Alessio Rastani before you started tweeting that?
	Yeah.
	This is the same.
	This is a problem.
	But this is the only reason that we keep doing the show is because it's almost like maybe we should do three shows because they need to be reminded over and over again that most of this is bogus.
	And the fact that the BBC... The BBC is disgusting.
	I mean, they just, you know.
	I mean, there are good, I was watching, in fact, the Democracy Now!
	I've got a clip for later in the show about the post office, which is a scam.
	They're trying to screw the public with this post office deal.
	She couldn't even get a reach.
	She got some...
	The guy was okay, but he was a union guy, post office union guy, but he wasn't like a high guy.
	He was like some local steward, shop steward.
	And he could barely, you know, say...
	I mean, these big operations that they...
	Not so much democracy now, but the BBC could get anybody to come on their shows.
	And they get this guy?
	Yeah, they can get anyone.
	And it was like, wasn't it Newsnight or something?
	It may have been Newsnight.
	That's a possibility.
	On their flagship shows.
	I think that was one of them.
	And she was like, oh, really?
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
	I think this person in the chat room, Fruity something, whatever, who's saying, you know, Adam is, you know, whenever it's popular, Adam says it's just wrong.
	By the way, it's Adam and John saying it's wrong, not just Adam.
	Because, you know, you have a little more credibility, perhaps, in this area.
	But this is, all we do on this program is help you see through the mist.
	The myth that is the media you're being given.
	And it has totally translated to the interwebs.
	And that's, in some cases, it's even worse than television and radio.
	It just propagates these complete mind-control tricks.
	You are being tricked.
	You are being tricked.
	I'm sorry.
	You're just being tricked.
	And the guy also looked like a douchebag.
	Okay, yeah, we want to thank some executive producers for today's show.
	We've got two executive producers and three associate executive producers, and the top executive producer is Sir Malencon from Tigard, Oregon, right there next to Winnie the Pooh.
	ITM gents from Sir Dwayne.
	John, my copy of WinCIS takes forever to connect these days.
	What's the deal?
	What is that?
	What is WinCIS?
	Is that something you, as CD-ROM you had in a book?
	From the 40s.
	Anyway, here's my early entry for the 345.67 Club.
	And my next donation will get me to my third knighthood.
	Stay tuned if you want proof Goldman Sachs rules the world.
	Here's the clip.
	And guess what Clippy gives us?
	Yeah, I know.
	I can only imagine.
	Joshua and Upstart Ventures in Windsor, Victoria.
	3333.
	Donation from Josh at Upstart.
	Reference article.
	Email to John and Adam with a subject line.
	Donation article.
	In the morning, Josh from Upstart.
	Here's wishing to share a portion of my slave allowance.
	Nice.
	I would like you both to...
	That's what these are.
	Slave allowances.
	I would like you both to take a look at the attached propaganda article of the National Newspaper of the Australian Financial Review.
	9-11-11 titled, Terrorist Group May Have Shorted Stricken Airline Stock.
	Well...
	That's been discussed, and we all know that.
	He needs a shot of karma, meanwhile, for her...
	Sammy.
	You've got karma.
	Sammy, keep your head up.
	We love you, bud.
	Thanks you both for providing critical thinkers for the world, an outlet that stimulates and educates for the crew at Upstart.
	You are our lighthouse as we sail the dark seas of misinformation propagated by you-know-who...
	Hey, and doesn't...
	Vagina.
	What?
	It says vagina.
	Oh, that's our new tagline, I guess.
	We just say vagina, since that's now allowed on ABC. Yeah.
	Isn't Upstart Ventures, isn't that the first company to become a knight?
	This is something we'll be discussing during our...
	Oh, okay.
	I don't know if it was Upstart that did it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I just checked.
	Okay.
	Anyway, noagendacardgame.com, San Jose, California, 2222 is 20% of the proceeds from the first six game decks rounded up to the nearest magic number.
	I'd also send a free game deck to one lucky $10 stream donor chosen randomly who donates for show 344.
	So in other words, if somebody donates $10 because Adam's going to make a plea at the end of the show.
	Yeah.
	For these $10 donations, one of them will get a free deck.
	Hey, so wait a minute, $222.22, and the only six game decks, well, it's like they gave us everything, I guess.
	That's 100%.
	Yeah, it's just 100%.
	It's awesome.
	And so go check out noagendagamecard.com.
	They are really beautiful, actually.
	I don't have a deck, but there's some good depictions on that website, and you help out the show with that as well.
	That's pretty cool.
	Kristen Herzog in Elwood, Illinois, $210.98 with no comment.
	John Smith, Sir John Smith to you.
	St.
	Petersburg, Florida, just as no agenda does their make goods.
	I noticed while catching up on the podcast, we mentioned this, he was accidentally named associate producer for the 915 show.
	So this is his make good for accidentally being named associate producer two weeks in a row.
	Hopefully I'm not cited again this week or after.
	That's pretty awesome.
	So we goofed up somehow and named him associate producer twice in a row, even though he had supported only once for an associate producer.
	And because of that, he comes back and makes good.
	That is awesome.
	Yeah, those are our producers.
	Those are the good guys.
	Okay, so we want to thank them and everybody else, and we'll get to our regular donors later in the show, but I want to thank these five particularly for their help.
	Yes, and of course, your help is appreciated.
	The only way that we can actually make any money on this show, and we don't go around promoting television shows like all these other douchebag news programs, and you do it by going to...
	Just a few PR mentions.
	Websites forwarding to the NoAgendaShow.com website.
	GoodHair2012.com is now forwarding to the site, which I think is pretty cool.
	And after you thought SeanHannity.com was a cool website forwarding to our No Agenda Show podcast website extravaganza.
	How about HardballWithChrisMatthews.com?
	This is where you go, wow.
	I just ran and got a drink of water.
	I was being parched.
	You have to say it again.
	Hardballwithchrismatthews.com forwarding to the show right now.
	I actually like that.
	I came back for that.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	I think Chris Matthews, maybe he'll listen to the show one of these days.
	I think he's lost.
	He's a dick.
	I love it when people listen to the show and then come up with the cool domain names like podcastofcharacter.com, which is perfect, since we are a podcast.
	That's a winner.
	That's a winner.
	Zombiechaney.com, now forwarding to the show.
	And we talked about the No Agenda Karma cards.
	I got a lot of feedback on that.
	People sending me places where you can order them.
	So essentially it'd be a card where it'd have a nice little thing on the front.
	Like, hey, I know you're down.
	I got something for you.
	Open it up and then you basically hear the jingle.
	You've got karma.
	Or alternatively.
	Alternatively, hey, you know, you left your socks here.
	You weren't good in bag.
	And anyway, you open up the card and it's one of those.
	And so we have douchebagcards.com is now also forwarding to the show.
	And then my favorite for the week, noagendastealthhelicopter.com.
	That's exactly what we need.
	Hey, thanks to our executive producers.
	Once again, Sir Dwayne Meneltholm and Upstart Ventures and our associate executive producers, NoAgendaCardGame.com, Christian Herzog and Sir John Smith.
	We highly appreciate all of the help.
	And of course, these are real credits.
	We will vouch for them, unlike those phonies in Hollywood.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	New.
	World.
	Order.
	Come on, chat room, yell it with me now.
	Shut up, slave.
	So, um...
	A lot of stuff going on with the President of the United States of America, and then a lot going on with the multiple presidents of the United States of Europe.
	Our good buddy Nigel Farage is back on the boat.
	Oh, yes, yes, yes.
	I don't think this was his best work.
	And he seems to have lost weight, by the way.
	Really?
	I thought he actually had gained a little after his attempted assassination in that airplane.
	Well, he had...
	There were two...
	Maybe I missed a good one, because the other one seemed a little dull.
	Did you see the one where he lashed out at the president of the European Central Bank, Juncker?
	That's the one you probably didn't see.
	Play them both, or play one of them.
	Here's Juncker.
	Mr.
	Co-President Nigel Falich.
	Mr.
	Juncker, as president of the Eurogroup, your detachment from reality is almost unbelievable.
	I mean, you're behaving like a political ostrich, pretending none of it's happening.
	You just told us a few moments ago that Greece fundamentally has no problems because she's a member of the Eurozone.
	I mean, it's just deluded.
	And you wrote recently that the Euro's 13-year history is a success story.
	Well, it's a very odd kind of success, isn't it?
	And actually saying that frankly beggars belief and I think hardly makes you credible.
	I think it's about time that you and others in this room woke up to the fact that we are inflicting misery on millions of people through unemployment, through poverty, through a lot of democracy and that it's an error to try and keep countries trapped inside the Euro prison.
	The recent proposal is that Greece should write down her debts by 50% and remain a member of the Eurozone.
	Surely, Mr.
	Juncker, if that happens, the same would happen to Portugal and Ireland too.
	So he goes on for quite a bit here, and then Juncker gets up and he refers back to, and by the way, Juncker is a German, and he stumbles around in his German first by saying, if we're talking about reputation, I'd rather have mine than yours.
	And then Nigel comes back and says, you know, you actually told people to lie, or you said, you know, we need to lie.
	Let me see if I can just get that one little bit, because I don't want to play all of that other douchebags.
	President, you just quoted...
	A newspaper, which wasn't actually British, it was a German newspaper, saying that when things get tough, we have to lie.
	Perhaps I should actually quote what I said in the language of the newspaper which you've referred to.
	So I was speaking German, that's why you get the English translation there in the Tower of Babel.
	The quotation was correct to some extent, but taken out of context.
	In Brussels, I was speaking to the pan-European movement.
	These are people who believe in Europe.
	We have to speak to them sometimes as well.
	In previous years...
	Back in the days when I was just a European finance minister, every few months there was talk about valuing or devaluing currencies in the European currency system.
	So back then, we often used to emit on Sundays, for example, or just before the markets closed, and at such times it was very difficult for us to tell the truth.
	However, the mistake I made...
	Was that by trying to honest, I actually used a form of words which paved the way to your supplementary question.
	So, essentially what the guy is saying is, well, sometimes we had to lie, but I didn't say, you know, I shouldn't have used the word lie because that let you trap me on saying the word lie that we were lying.
	It's just unbelievable what's going on there.
	And most people in Europe are like, when's the iPhone 5 coming to Europe?
	Now, the thing that blew me away, though, and I think we should play the other Nigel Farage clip, maybe his end of show, because it's rather long, but he really slams the whole institution, is Barroso, who, of course, is the unelected president of the...
	I think he's the...
	President of the Parliament, because they have like five presidents.
	President of the Council, President of the Commission, President of the Parliament.
	As you just heard, Nigel Farage is also a co-president.
	So Barroso gives his State of the Union, State of the Union of the European States, And he says exactly what I predicted.
	Because of this crisis, we now have to bring all control to Europe, into Brussels, and we have to manage everything for you.
	Give up all of your sovereignty.
	Give up your own taxation.
	All your base belong to us.
	The European Commission president has called for more economic integration to tackle the Eurozone crisis.
	In his State of the Union address in Strasbourg, José Manuel Barroso vowed that Greece would remain in the Euro but had to implement its commitments.
	Amid much criticism of his leadership and doubts over the EU's ability to control events, he said the intergovernmental approach hadn't worked.
	What was needed was a stronger centralized European Union.
	For the Euro area to be credible, And this is not only the message of the federalists.
	This is the message of the markets.
	We need a truly community approach.
	We need to really integrate the euro area.
	We need to complete the monetary union with the real economic union.
	There you go.
	As predicted.
	Integrate everything.
	Bring it into Brussels.
	Good night.
	Good night, Europe.
	Enjoy your civil war.
	Yeah, well that's as depressing as it gets.
	The Greek, by the way, they got the right idea.
	Some Greek protesters would like to hang their politicians.
	A graphic illustration of how angry some of them are at a deeply unpopular property tax forced through Parliament.
	Many Greeks think they're being asked to sacrifice too much in the repeated attempts to balance the books.
	We won't pay, say posters around Athens, but they may have little choice, since the tax will be collected through electricity bills.
	Ha ha!
	That's a good one.
	I love that.
	That's almost as good as having an RFID chip in your arm with your money on it.
	It's like, do you like, let me see, do you like electricity, slave?
	Well, then you just pay your bill.
	You don't want to pay your extraordinarily high bill, which includes your taxes in there?
	Oh, we'll just turn you off.
	That's how you do it.
	So while that's going on, we talked about this.
	I had a clip from weeks ago about the Bahrainian situation in Bahrain, the rioting and essentially the protests and the crackdowns going on.
	That's not recovered at all by any mainstream news outlet.
	No.
	But it is covered by Democracy Now!
	And there's news coming out of Bahrain, which is now kind of shedding some light on this problem to hit it.
	The Obama administration's announced plans to sell $53 million worth of military equipment to Bahrain just months after the Gulf state brutally cracked down on Shiite protesters.
	The proposed sale includes Bunker Buster missiles, armored vehicles, and wire-guided missiles.
	Maria McFarland of Human Rights Watch criticized the arms deal.
	McFarlane said, quote, this is exactly the wrong move after Bahrain brutally suppressed protests and is carrying out a relentless campaign of retribution against its critics.
	So I thought we'd keep up with the kind of what's breaking news there for this Arab Spring, I think it was called.
	Yeah.
	Oh, wow.
	I also just read that we're selling a whole bunch of drones to...
	Now, who was it?
	South Korea.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, that makes sense.
	And it was supposed to be for half a billion dollars, and the South Koreans are like, you know, but we want luxury interior.
	They want all this extra stuff.
	And the Pentagon...
	It's the Pentagon, by the way, who's doing this deal.
	They come back and say, well, it's $900 million.
	And South Korea's like, dude, no!
	So they're going back and forth.
	These defense websites, defense.aol.com, you've got to follow this.
	They have all these, it's incredible.
	It's all about, and it's apparently like a white label or something that AOL does just for the defense industry.
	This is a nice business, this drone industry.
	I think we should get into it.
	Curry Dvorak Drones.
	We make drones as good as the rest of them.
	We can just OEM some drones out of China.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Just slap a sticker on it.
	Yeah, slap a sticker on it and sell that.
	It's perfect.
	You're talking about Obama helping the Bahrainians keep their population under control.
	This was taken off of one of the late night comedy shows, but it's an actual news report.
	Unfortunately, it has laughter over it because of the comedy show.
	But it was an actual news report from one of the local news channels.
	I think it was down in L.A. But play this Obama supporter story.
	Well, Hollywood was certainly a campaign ATM machine for Barack Obama, the candidate, but maybe not so much for Barack Obama, the president.
	In 2008, President Obama had the support of the Hollywood elite, including Robert De Niro and Matt Damon.
	Last night, his celebrity backers included Screech from Saved by the Bell.
	The four guys lean majors, Eden from Toddlers and Tiaras, and a special performance from Vanilla Ice.
	Well, he was in Hollywood, the president, much to all of Los Angeles' dismay.
	They started cutting off Sunset and Santa Monica.
	Oh, yeah.
	Can you imagine?
	Early in the morning.
	Well, you could imagine.
	You were there.
	I lived it.
	I lived it.
	So the traffic was just horrendous.
	And he did basically two public gigs.
	One is at the Fig and Olive, which is a way too expensive douchebag restaurant.
	In Hollywood.
	But he also went to the House of Blues where the ticket price was quite low.
	It was $250.
	And he got heckled.
	I'm sure you heard this or you might have seen this.
	Oh yeah, it's hilarious.
	But I actually have the full clip and it's a little weird at the end.
	We must have some members of Congress here.
	First of all, he's looking for members of Congress at the House of Blues.
	Well, there you go, Dennis.
	Where are we?
	Hey, how are you?
	Hey, how are you doing?
	How are you?
	How are you?
	Members of Congress, how are you?
	Hey, hey, thanks for coming out.
	God is the one and only true living God, the creator of heaven and the universe!
	So just for those of you who can't hear it, the guy is saying that Jesus Christ is the Christian God, the creator of the universe.
	Yeah!
	He's saying, Jesus Christ is God.
	And then the crowd takes over the chant.
	Jesus bless you, the Lord.
	Jesus bless you, the Lord.
	You are an anti-Christ.
	You lose your death.
	You lose your world.
	You never lost.
	You are the Lord.
	And then he says, you are the Antichrist, which is a popular meme amongst people who, I guess, don't like the president.
	Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord.
	Now listen to what happens.
	The guy is now being shuttled away.
	You can barely see it in the video.
	But then the president starts to say something interesting.
	God for years!
	Four more years!
	Four And I think the president was actually concerned.
	I think he's like, dude, who knows what the heck is in that jacket.
	I'm right here in front of the stage.
	The thing might blow up or something.
	He sounds concerned about this.
	And it seems like the security guys screwed it up.
	Is that his jacket?
	First of all, I agree Jesus Christ is the Lord.
	I believe in that.
	I do have a question.
	I think the young man may have left his jacket.
	And it's kind of freaking me out right now, because it might explode.
	Wow, you mean to tell me that the Secret Service wasn't all over that jacket?
	No, no, they just left the jacket, and he keeps saying it.
	Thank you, darling.
	And he keeps telling them, and they won't do anything?
	No, nothing.
	They don't do a single thing, and the jacket's laying on the ground, ticking.
	Then he gets his jacket.
	Get his jacket.
	Oh, that's yours.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	It's hers.
	Woo!
	Woo!
	Dodge the bullet.
	It's hers!
	So that was a poor performance by the security, as far as I'm concerned.
	I mean, I may not be a fan of this president, but come on, can you at least guard the guy and make sure that if you think someone is extremely dangerous for saying you're the Antichrist, and this guy probably will turn out to be a lone wolf terrorist, then at least get the guy's jacket.
	Now, the president had a couple of gaffes this week, which, of course, there was no time for it amidst all of the new, every new show this season is apparently Mad Men.
	We have Mad Men in the air, that's Pan Am, we have Mad Men in the club, that's Playboy, everything's Mad Men.
	And then poor Drew Barrymore, who comes up with, can I watch 40 seconds of this Charlie's Angels crap?
	So they had no time to really pay attention to the gaffes.
	A lot of you probably heard this one.
	This one was kind of interesting as he's talking to the Black Congressional Caucus.
	Folks at the bottom have seen their incomes decline, and your response is that you want poor folks to pay more?
	Give me a break.
	If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a janitor...
	Now, I love Freudian slips.
	And it sure sounded to me like the President said, if asking...
	Someone to pay as much as a Jew.
	Yeah, that's what he said.
	So, what was on his mind?
	How do you get that?
	He's reading off the prompter.
	How do you get the word Jew out of the written word janitor unless it's something on your mind?
	Well, let's listen again.
	Let me go back one more second here.
	Asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a janitor.
	So maybe it was the word billionaire and then Warren Buffett, I don't think Warren Buffett is Jewish by the way, but Warren Buffett, something flashes into his brain and he says Jew.
	And I think that warrants dissection.
	It's weird.
	It's a weird Freudian slip.
	Yeah, I found it to be odd when I heard it.
	Now, of course, you know, there's this...
	But I never made the connection with Buffett, but that's funny.
	He's probably thinking Buffett's a Jew or something.
	I don't know, but it did come to his mind.
	Then he was at the LinkedIn headquarters...
	Oh, yeah.
	Talk about a promotion for LinkedIn.
	Was that the CEO of LinkedIn who was there for like...
	The guy with the 5 o'clock shadow?
	What is that douchebag all about?
	He's a total...
	I mean, that's the douchiest performance I've ever seen.
	And by the way, I don't know what kind of...
	You probably didn't see the Jon Stewart show.
	Yeah, I did.
	Jon Stewart had a very good remark.
	He said, not working out so well, that LinkedIn, seeing as no one there had a job.
	One person after another came up saying, I don't have work, I don't have work, I don't have work.
	Except for the one shill in the audience, and I want you to really pay attention to this.
	This works well in audio as well as video.
	You probably heard about this, but here comes a question from an audience member.
	Thank you, Mr.
	President.
	I don't have a job, but that's because I've been lucky enough to live in Silicon Valley for a while and work for a small startup down the road.
	Thank you.
	my question is would you please raise my taxes now this is very interesting So this is clearly a plant for his, you know, I'm rich, please make me pay more.
	Which, by the way, there is a...
	He says he's not working by choice.
	What taxes does he pay?
	He's paying capital gains on his Google stock, which he actually doesn't mention by name.
	But the president...
	Doesn't respond when it would be normal to respond to this statement.
	He waits for the guy to deliver the rest of his lines.
	Listen.
	I would like very much to have the country to continue to invest in things like Pell Grants.
	So when the guy says that, how come the president just sits there, stone-faced, and doesn't respond when he waits for the guy to come back and bring up the Pell Grants and all this other stuff?
	Who would say that?
	Really?
	So this is where the president should respond and say, all right, right on my man.
	Good.
	And buenos tardes.
	I would like very much to have the country to continue to invest in things like Pell Grants and infrastructure and job training programs that made it possible for me to get to where I am.
	And it kills me.
	To see Congress not supporting the expiration of the tax cuts that have been benefiting so many of us for so long.
	So, that to me was clearly a setup.
	Clearly.
	And the President just sat there and waited for him to deliver all the lines and then he comes into the little joke here about where he made his money.
	I think that needs to change and I hope that you'll stay strong in doing that.
	Well, I appreciate it.
	What was the startup, by the way?
	You want to give me a little hint?
	It's a search engine.
	Worked out pretty well, huh?
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Here's what I got for you.
	Wrong.
	You shill is what you are.
	Now, here's something that one of our producers put on NoAgendaNewsNetwork.com, which I thought was very fascinating.
	He makes another Freudian slip.
	Maybe not even Freudian, but he certainly flubs the line when it comes to the Buffett's secretary paying more taxes than Buffett.
	Listen to what he says.
	...is doing their fair share.
	I've said this before, I'll say it again.
	Warren Buffett's secretary shouldn't be paying a lower tax rate than Warren Buffett.
	Hold on a second.
	Ah!
	Warren Buffett's secretary shouldn't be paying a lower...
	No, that's...
	Huh?
	Huh?
	Ah!
	Let's hear that again, Presidente.
	Warren Buffett's secretary shouldn't be paying a lower tax rate than Warren Buffett.
	And no one sees this.
	Come on!
	It's a slip.
	Well, the more he talks, the more of these are going to happen.
	Seriously, this is the only thing he's really hired to do, is to read the prompter, campaign, read more prompter.
	Like any good actor, look pretty, know your lines, and don't bump into the furniture.
	And he's not doing too well.
	I think they're running him ragged is the reason.
	Well, they're definitely running him ragged.
	I mean, I can just...
	Well, actually, I can't.
	Los Angeles is bad enough, but with a traffic problem, I can't imagine what...
	Who's calling you on the cell phone?
	It's not my cell.
	JC left it in here.
	I'm just killing it.
	Throw it against the wall.
	Damn kids with their cell phones.
	That was good.
	So, well, there's another little thing going on that you probably didn't catch this one.
	Dick Wars.
	Dick Wars?
	Hmm.
	Yeah, Dick Wars.
	Apparently in Vancouver there's signs saying Dick Wars and they're trying to play Dick Wars and you can get the story.
	Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Vancouver, Canada Monday to protest a visit by former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney.
	protesters called on canadian authorities to arrest change crimes and torture so do you notice that she made this slip of saying former president Oh, I didn't even notice that.
	She said former president?
	Really?
	Oh my goodness.
	Yeah, another slip.
	It's funny because I didn't catch that part of the dick wars.
	I did catch the part about how well trained our Canadian brothers and sisters are when it comes to protesting.
	Here's how they protest in Canada.
	CTV's Don Martin joins us now.
	He's keeping an eye on the demonstration.
	Don, we're looking at what's going on.
	What more can you tell us from there?
	Well, Brad, it's the quintessential Canadian protest.
	They politely walk up to the barricade.
	There's a little stepladder on one side and a little stepladder on the other, and as they climb over it, the police put plastic cuffs on them.
	A few, not everybody.
	March them over, put them on an Ottawa OC Transpo bus, take them away to book them.
	So they actually go up politely to the fence, they go up the stepladder, down the other side...
	This is the Ottawa protest.
	This is different than Dick Wars.
	Oh, okay.
	This was a march on the parliament.
	Well, it's funny regardless.
	We have protests everywhere.
	In fact, a couple days ago, the New York Times had a big headlining story outlining where all these protests are going.
	This is going this way, and the one in Libya has gone to this, and the one in Syria has gone to that, and they have all this huge list, and they leave out all of the ones that are going on in the United States and Canada.
	Gee, I wonder why.
	Why?
	I mean, this is one of the reasons I'm stopping the subscription to the New York Times.
	They won't even cover the stuff that's going on that affects us on a day-to-day basis.
	Or the traffic situation in Los Angeles because the president has to go around and be called an antichrist.
	Did you hear about the one airport that's suing the Secret Service for about $650,000 for wrecking the airport with their helicopters?
	Yeah, $670-something million or $1,000.
	And it actually plays right into what I was talking about.
	The reason they made that landing is because he had to do the emergency drill into the bunker.
	That's what that was all about.
	And so they weren't prepared.
	And they were driving trucks and stuff all through the grass and mangling it up.
	And the government just says, screw you, we're not going to pay you anything.
	Yeah, fix it yourself.
	Yeah, what's your problem?
	We're not going to pay for any of that.
	No.
	No, no, no.
	Hey, um...
	Just while we're deconstructing some media, did you follow this story about this ITV documentary?
	Now, this is something you have to see.
	It's in the show notes, 343.nashownotes.com.
	This is a piece from the documentary, and it's about Gaddafi, and it is apparently, they're showing some footage of rebels shooting down a helicopter.
	Here we go.
	With Gaddafi's heavy machine guns, it was possible to shoot down a helicopter, as the terrorists own footage of 1988 shows.
	This was what the security forces feared most.
	It may have been a lucky hit, but for the army and crew, once was enough.
	No one died in this attack, but there were many other deadly arms to fear.
	Now the reason why no one died in that attack is because the footage they were showing was actually video footage from a video game.
	And so they literally did a screen capture of Arma 2, R-A-M-A 2, which came out in 2009.
	And in a couple of videos, it's all on the YouTubes now.
	They literally lay the two side by side.
	Because it looks like really shaky cell cam footage.
	But what it is, is they literally just took this...
	Took some screen grabs from someone playing the game, and it is exactly the same, right down to the puffs of smoke coming out of the helicopter as it goes down.
	And they use this in a documentary.
	I mean, it's...
	Maybe they thought no one would notice.
	Yeah, because, you know, games are only for kids, right?
	This new group of media people, they really don't realize how, you know, they've got to go see the documentary Trekkers about the Star Trek guys, you know, all these kids, where the kid will come out and say, I don't know, but I noticed that the Star Trek uniforms of Sergeant's emblem was off two millimeters to the left.
	Oh, yeah.
	And it was poorly done and it was the wrong size.
	You know, there's people out there that are just all over this stuff.
	You can't pull this crap.
	But, of course, no one actually...
	It's ITV, by the way.
	Yeah, they're not like a small-time operation.
	You know, go hire some CG. Go get industrial light and magic to make something special for you.
	Go make your own fake video.
	Make your own fake video.
	Don't steal stuff that these kids are going to notice.
	Idiots.
	Meanwhile, the Ministry of Truth Department, even after a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, the Justice Department attorneys have said the CIA has 52 photographs and video recordings of bin Laden's killing and his death.
	But they will not release these.
	They are going to be kept classified and withheld from the public to avoid inciting violence against Americans overseas and compromising secret systems and techniques used by the CIA and military.
	Even though the secret stealth helicopter is on the SEAL Team 6 challenge coin.
	We can't see.
	But there is a movie promotion.
	There's a tie-in, John.
	Brand new!
	In this French, beautiful island...
	A young couple will find something...
	Terrible.
	Oh my god.
	What happened to him?
	I swear to you I know this guy.
	Who?
	The doctor?
	No, honey, no.
	The body.
	Fuck the dead guy, honey.
	I got it.
	I fucking got it.
	It's a fucking Osama Bin Laden.
	Osama Bin Laden.
	This is the new movie, Zom Bin Laden.
	Oh, please.
	Where two kids find his body and...
	Sounds like something you produce.
	I mean, it's horrible.
	Zom Bin Laden.
	The trailer's like three minutes long.
	It's very funny.
	And he's back.
	He's thirsty.
	And he's pissed off.
	And there's like guys on the beach going, Hey, what's up, Osama?
	What's up?
	The guy's a zombie.
	It's very humorous.
	We need things like that in times like this.
	We need to have some of those funny things.
	I'm very happy with that.
	I liked it a lot.
	So, I have the clip that kind of explains the top secret thing, but it's not important.
	Yeah, they've decided that the pictures are now top secret.
	Yes.
	So, everything's top secret.
	I mean, this whole, and nobody does anything about this categorization of everything is top secret.
	It's just, so we'll never see these pictures, which probably are pictures of somebody else anyway.
	Papers filed late Monday night reveal the Obama administration's refusing to release photos and videos of a dead Osama bin Laden following a Navy SEAL raid in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad in May of this year.
	According to CIA National Clandestine Service Director John Bennett, the intelligence agency has 52 photos and or video recordings of the slain al-Qaeda leader.
	The imagery is reportedly classified as top secret, and the Obama administration says its release would reveal military and intelligence secrets and could lead to violence against U.S. personnel.
	Don't show it!
	We're the most transparent administration in the history of the entire world!
	National Clandestine Services?
	Yes.
	NCS. No, it's NCIS, maybe.
	I never heard of that division.
	They've got all kinds of divisions.
	All kinds of stuff going on.
	That's just another way to hire more people.
	So we got a...
	Actually, this was a tweet that both you...
	Or an email that both you and I responded to that Ron Paul was going to be on Jon Stewart.
	And I decided to watch it live, which I don't have the East Coast feed, so I was just watching at 11 o'clock, which is late for me.
	And Miss Mickey actually stayed up, too, to watch this.
	And so the two segments, the first segment that Ron Paul came on was essentially like, hey, how you doing?
	Jokey, jokey.
	And then Stuart went into this long skit about, you know, you don't look right.
	And he had his head plastered on Chris Christie's body.
	So the first segment was contentless.
	And then, like, okay, the next segment will probably be better.
	And just before they hit the next segment, Jon Stewart comes in with this.
	Did you see Congressman Ron Paul on the show?
	You didn't see the whole interview.
	There's more.
	On the web.
	On the web!
	So, he was clearly uncomfortable doing this, but he had to, because they cut out what I think is actually the best part of the entire interview.
	And the reason why they cut it out, if you want to hear it, I'm happy to play it, because you never saw it on television, was essentially Ron Paul slamming the war on drugs, the pharmaceutical industry, and you can't slam big pharma.
	And I think what happened, I'm calling douchebag on certainly Comedy Central, but in a way also Jon Stewart.
	It just shows he has no say in the matter whatsoever.
	And Ron Paul actually brings it up in the last...
	The last ten seconds of the clip, listen to what Ron Paul says about freedom of speech and freedom of markets.
	I think the best example for this is the way we treat people in the media and comedians.
	Wait, what?
	I want to eliminate all prior restraint.
	How would you operate if you had prior restraint and we had to monitor your program?
	You probably wouldn't be allowed to have me on your program if it was prior restraint.
	Is that true?
	Yeah, that's true.
	I'm a very brave man.
	You're not Jon Stewart.
	You're a weak douche.
	Because they cut out the entire content of the interview.
	And they made Jon Stewart go back and cut that thing and say, oh, it's on the web!
	That's where you can see the extended interview!
	And it was just completely contentless.
	So, Jon Stewart in the douchebag hole now.
	What choice does he have?
	He's running a commercial show that has sponsors on a network that relies, like everyone else, on drug advertising.
	What's he supposed to do?
	He can take the donation model...
	I mean, I don't know what you expect the guy to do.
	He has no choice in the matter.
	He is like everybody else in the media.
	Everything that people watch out there is bought and paid for by Big Pharma.
	Big Pharma is right now probably one of the biggest advertisers.
	They're making so much money on some of these sketchy drugs.
	That, you know, you can't say what, and then you have the vested interest of the war on drugs, you know, which Ron Paul strikes out against.
	He wants to legalize this and that.
	Napolitano came out with a legalized marijuana thing over the last couple of shows.
	But, yeah, I mean, you can't, what are you going to do?
	This is the problem people have to realize when they listen to this show.
	We're not beholden.
	We don't have to worry about it.
	And of course, you can get shut down other ways, but not by any reason, because we want to keep our numbers low, but the fact of the matter is we don't have enough listeners.
	No.
	You are correct in your calculation.
	You've done very well.
	You added it up and went, hmm, this isn't right, is it?
	Yeah, but it's important for people to know because Jon Stewart does come across as the voice of reason.
	But he's not.
	He, too, is beholden to the pharmaceutical industry in this case.
	It's a six-minute clip, so I'm not going to play it, but there's a link to the actual video.
	In the show notes, 343.nashownotes.com.
	And in it, Ron Paul is making, of course, a lot of Ron Paul sense.
	And it was the best part of the interview.
	They could have just taken that part and cut the stupid part out if it was about time, but it wasn't.
	It was purely about the wrong message to the audience.
	And it's good to know that.
	And I'm sure the audience was applauding him.
	Well, he had like teachers in the audience or something.
	It was a stacked audience, too.
	Oh.
	Hey, remember Sam Knows?
	Hey, by the way, talk about the stupid names like Sam Knows.
	Did you notice the coverage of the riots and the police brutality on the Occupy Wall Street, and they come up with a guy, that guy in the white shirt, who supposedly was beating the women and shooting mace in their faces and the rest of it, and the guy's name is Anthony Bologna?
	Yeah.
	Tony Bologna?
	Tony Bologna, I know.
	I caught that too.
	I was like...
	Why don't they just throw it in our face?
	This is bullcrap, the guy's name is Tony.
	We took Tony Bologna and we fired him.
	Just throw it in my face, will you please?
	Tony Bologna is not working for the force anymore.
	Anthony Bologna.
	I know, that's so funny.
	Tony Bologna.
	It saddens me.
	It really does.
	By the way, I did get a tweet from the ombudsman from NPR. The ombudsman does not really have that big a following, like 4,000 followers or something.
	Well, that's what ombudsmen do not get enough attention.
	Yeah, and he said, well, we're going to cover it on All Things Considered tonight.
	Well, it's not even worth playing because it was the same ridicule as everything else.
	Let's see if I can find it here.
	Here we go.
	He said that the criteria for reporting on something had to do with either size of the crowd, arrests made, or prominent people being at the protest.
	Did you get the numbers?
	Throw that thing against the wall.
	This is the real phone.
	Oh.
	Well, who is it?
	I don't know.
	I'm doing a show.
	I have no idea what John is doing.
	It's like, I thought maybe...
	So here's what's happened.
	Just to mention it, because I just got that call.
	So apparently, they've got these systems.
	I guess you buy a T1 or whatever.
	And so they just put robot calls on.
	This is a robot call.
	Trying to sell me credit card services.
	And they just spam me.
	It's just like email spam, because they're not paying anything for these phone calls.
	Yeah, I know.
	They're plugged into the network and they just spam away with these phony calls.
	Yesterday I got one from, oh, since your mortgage is underwater.
	My mortgage is not underwater.
	It's just like spam, you know, where they say, oh, your bank account at United Bank has been lost.
	I don't have an account at United Bank.
	They just want to steal my password if I happen to.
	This is getting on my nerves.
	So here's the ombudsman, and this is kind of important to understand.
	Here it is.
	Oh, it's not scrolling.
	So did they give you the numbers?
	No, of course not.
	Well, I want to know what the numbers are, because they've already arrested over 100 people.
	Here, we asked the newsroom to explain their editorial decision.
	This is the ombudsman.
	Executive Editor for News Dick Meyer came back and said, quote, The recent protests on Wall Street did not involve large numbers of people, prominent people, a great disruption, or an especially clear objective.
	And that's why they didn't cover it.
	That makes no sense.
	It makes no sense at all.
	It's totally bogus.
	So in other words, when you had the Detroit riots back in the 60s where they literally burned down half of the city, that wouldn't have been covered because there was no theme.
	There was nobody famous.
	That's the point.
	And there weren't that many arrests.
	Right.
	They didn't even say arrests, actually, the news guy.
	It's just no disruption.
	And no prominent people.
	So I guess you have to have prominent people.
	And then they bring in prominent people and then they just ridicule.
	Because the prominent people are in there co-opting.
	Crazy.
	Anyway, Sam Knows, this cropped up a while ago.
	There's something in the European Union that is important as it relates to this.
	Sam Knows is the government, our government, tried to get everyone to order one of these Sam Knows routers so that the government could then test your...
	I love this.
	Oh, right.
	Test the quality of your broadband and...
	And this is from samknows.com.
	Now Brussels is saying, seeing a need for accurate measurement of Internet services across the European Union, the European Commission has appointed Sam Knows to make its white boxes available to citizens across the EU. The key technical challenge of this project is how to accommodate the different access technologies across Europe whilst making sure that the methodology is consistent for each country.
	With the benefit of the previous projects in the USA and the UK, Sam Knows has developed a stand-alone white box which any consumer can plug into their home network to test their ISP. Well, John, this sounds like an incredible benefit.
	I think I should get me one of these.
	Why do I want to test my ISP? You don't.
	This is how the government can control your entire internet ongoings.
	Why would I want that?
	You don't!
	But that's not why it's being sold.
	It's being sold as a consumer benefit that the government is now going to make sure you get what you're paying for.
	Well, guess what?
	I'm not getting what I'm paying for.
	We all know that.
	Yeah, what is the government going to do about it?
	Nothing!
	But this Sam Knows stuff is going to be baked into every single router you buy off the shelf.
	Baked?
	They're going to bake it?
	They're baking it right in.
	And it's concerning.
	Faced with the need to produce industrial quantities of magic boxes for a variety of ISPs and government clients, Sam knows has developed a technology which popular manufacturers routers It says, So Sam
	refers to Uncle Sam.
	Of course.
	So now Uncle Sam knows what you're doing.
	Exactly.
	Who's an idiot who's going to put this on their system?
	They throw it right in your face by calling it Sam Knows.
	That's the hard work of tapping the line.
	But they actually call it Sam Knows.
	I mean, how stupid?
	We are stupid.
	There's no other way, John.
	It has to be that human resources have diminished to Jell-O. Yeah.
	Sam knows?
	You mean like Uncle Sam?
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Is it a good thing if I hook it up?
	Is it a good thing?
	Yeah?
	Okay.
	I'll do that.
	I'll hook it up.
	And then what?
	And then what should I do?
	What should I do then?
	What should I do?
	And then Sam knows.
	Sam knows?
	Good.
	Is that good?
	Is it good that Sam knows?
	Yeah.
	Oh, okay.
	If it's good that Sam knows, then it's good that I do it.
	That's right.
	You pass.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	So now that's going to be mandatory, I'm sure, in the United States of Europe.
	Yeah.
	It's going to be mandatory.
	BBC, by the way, was doing something funny.
	The scanner debate is now ongoing in Gitmo Nation East.
	And so they have these cute kids.
	The show is called, I think it's called The Big Bang or something.
	It's a science show.
	Big Bang Theory.
	No, it's not the Big Bang Theory.
	The Big Bang Theory with the nerds and the blonde.
	It's a Big Bang or something.
	Well, it is two nerds and a hot brunette.
	This is very sexy.
	And so it's a 15-minute piece, a video on the show notes.
	Thanks to Robert Leather for capturing that and putting it up because, of course, we can't watch the BBC iPlayer here.
	And so first they go through literally eight minutes of showing you, they're on the street, and it's like, do you think that these nuts are radioactive?
	Do you think this salt is radioactive?
	Do you think this granite is radioactive?
	And of course the whole point is to condition you to, oh, all kinds of things are radioactive.
	So I shouldn't be afraid of radioactive things.
	What?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And it's eight minutes.
	They're on the street.
	And of course the nuts, you know, of course they put the Geiger counter there.
	Oh, look, it's radioactive.
	It's radioactive.
	And then, this is so inconsistent, it was just funny.
	Then the hot chick goes through the full naked body scanner.
	Oh, this is what it's all about.
	Oh, yeah.
	This is exactly what it's about.
	Now, I will have to stop this clip to point out a couple of incredibly weird inconsistencies.
	But she goes through the naked body scanner.
	And then looks at, essentially, a recording of her picture, which is the first funny thing.
	And she has a fake knife on her to see if they can detect it.
	And, of course, the picture is not, you know, of her, like, really hot naked.
	They only show the back, and they've blurred the screen a little bit, and it's just that kind of oily, like, dark outline.
	It's not the gingerbread.
	It's kind of the first version that we had here.
	But listen to what the actual verbiage is.
	It's stuck in my belly, though.
	Keep playing.
	Okay, so here's the image of your entire body.
	But have you found my weapon?
	I think so.
	Have you?
	Okay.
	Go on.
	If we turn it round, I believe you've got a knife placed on the small of your back but between your bra.
	Well, done.
	It is.
	It's actually a knife.
	It's a ceramic knife.
	Ceramic knife, which I could totally bust through the cockpit door with a ceramic knife, I'm sure.
	No, it's because a ceramic knife can't be picked up by the metal detector.
	I understand.
	Which is obviously no good.
	But notice, you know, the whole thing of the bra and everything.
	It's to get your mind into, like, boning her.
	That I stuck into my bra strap.
	And the radiation, reflected radiation found it.
	They really did.
	Excellent stuff.
	Excellent stuff.
	Now, she's back in the studio with the Nerd Boys.
	With a new generation of scanners rolling out at airports across the UK, checking in has never been safer or quicker.
	It's an amazing bit of tech, but it does raise the obvious privacy questions, because there's going to be people at home watching that who are going to be thinking, I am not going to walk through that.
	I know.
	Do you know what I mean?
	It is understandable, absolutely.
	But for those scanners, first of all, the operators of the visual part of the scanner, okay, the imaging, are nowhere near the scanner, so they never see the individual that goes through.
	Well, okay, so the guy is standing right there.
	You just have to replay in your mind.
	He's standing right there watching her come through the scanner, and the image is right there on the scanner.
	So, uh...
	Lie number one there.
	The actual scanner.
	They're always same-sex operators.
	Same-sex operators?
	It was a dude, in case you didn't notice.
	A woman goes through, a woman operator looks at the image.
	The images are never recorded, and also...
	They're never recorded, yet they were looking at a recorded image!
	Unbelievable!
	Unbelievable!
	Because the whole scanning technology is based on contours, your underwear is so close to your body that it kind of helps conceal the more detailed bits of your anatomy.
	Your bits and bobs.
	This is what it's about, John.
	Your bits and bobs.
	How's your bob doing?
	I think you should stop playing the horn and start playing the douchebag.
	I like the horn.
	I mean, it's fair enough, but there are still people who are going to be worried about this.
	So my question is, is it going to be compulsory?
	Well, so far these scanners haven't been rolled out across the UK, and the guidelines haven't been all set in stones, and ultimately it's going to be down to each individual airport to decide.
	Liz, something I was a bit more curious about is the safe exposure limits.
	Right, bring it right back around after we've shown you ten minutes of radiation experiments on nuts and salt.
	Bring it back to radiation.
	Are we afraid about this?
	These things.
	I mean, say, for example, I was a frequent flyer, and I was going through these things five, ten times a week.
	Is that too much?
	No, I fly a lot for my job, and I had the exact same question.
	And these scanners have been rigorously tested, and the results are...
	By who?
	Who?
	Who's been rigorously testing these scanners?
	What independent testing facility has tested any of these scanners?
	Did she say?
	Do you not understand?
	My bits and bobs are all excited just looking at her.
	I don't care.
	That's how it works.
	...any harm.
	I mean, the operators around the actual scanner itself can stand beside it 24-7 and the health risks are negligible.
	Who says?
	There you go.
	Negligible.
	What, is she an expert?
	And who is it?
	Let's see the testing results.
	Oh, you get the point, obviously.
	But the propaganda.
	What douchebag show was this?
	This is BBC. BBC. These people should be ashamed of themselves.
	Well, yes.
	Well, they're not.
	Newsflash.
	They don't give a crap.
	But it's, you know, because this is now, they're talking about the scanners, they want to put them in everywhere, they've got to condition everyone to get ready for them, so let's understand radiation.
	I mean, it's a beautiful piece.
	The Curry Dvorak Media Consulting Group could not have done a better job, although we probably would have had a blonde.
	But she's smoking.
	She really is beautiful.
	And she's got the thing in her bra, and she's like...
	What?
	Safe.
	I think you could have also dealt with some of the inconsistencies in the story a little better.
	What do you mean?
	You could have had a woman instead of the guy looking at the thing.
	And by the way, how does that work that only the women see it?
	Well, they have two people.
	I mean, somebody's coming.
	We got a woman coming through.
	Switch.
	Switch.
	Exactly.
	Switch.
	Okay, the guy, switch.
	Close your eyes.
	Close your eyes.
	Don't look.
	No peeking.
	Yeah.
	The funny thing is, the guy is standing there watching her and the screen is right there.
	She says, the operators can't see the person, but she's standing right there watching it.
	And I've seen this at the Amsterdam airport.
	It's the same thing.
	And the UK airport.
	They're standing right there watching.
	Then she says, it's not recorded.
	Yet she's watching a recorded image.
	It's stored on something because she's not standing there anymore.
	So it was at least temporarily stored.
	And then she says, it's only going to be gender specific.
	I mean...
	There must be something in the psych warfare book that tells you that if you make the lie right there in the explanation, then people are ready to believe it.
	You know what I mean?
	There's a possibility.
	There may be some trick we're unaware of, even though I would suggest that the Curry Dvorak Media Consulting Group would know this.
	Well, of course we do.
	We would have known it if it was true.
	And I doubt that they have knowledge that we don't have.
	So I think it's just a screw-up.
	No, I think that it's done purposely to condition you.
	I think it's sloppy.
	Okay.
	They're not that good.
	They're not that good.
	That's what you get when you hire a second-rate media consulting group.
	That's what you get.
	They're just not that good.
	Silly frogs.
	All right, before we get into our donations, an interesting thing that just kind of flew under the wire about this FBC Media Group.
	Now, FBC Media Group makes television programming for the BBC and NBC, specifically CNBC. And The Independent, in the newspaper in Gitmo Nation East, I got a hold of some emails and documents that shows that this program, which is supposed to make news programming, which is broadcast by the BBC and CNBC. We know CNBC is corrupt, but BBC, it's always fun to pick on them.
	They were going to do this piece on, I think it was Malaysia, and they promised in the piece, in exchange for money, guaranteed coverage of the new Microsoft office that will be opening up, actually it's Aachen, Germany, and the second one in St.
	Petersburg, Russia.
	And they actually titled the document, FBC Guaranteed Distribution Placement.
	So, well, the BBC is assuming they're buying a news piece about something that's taking place.
	Oh, and by the way, they also produced for PBS, our national treasure, They are on the back end selling the exposure to Microsoft to show their flags and their brand new office and their center and everything.
	And it's important you understand that this is how the news works.
	Yeah.
	Have you ever done that?
	No, never.
	I wouldn't do it.
	In fact, I think the fact that I'm doing this show proves that.
	Yeah, it sure does.
	I'm going to show myself the mood by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Huh, huh.
	Of all things we will do, we will promote the people who contributed to the show, including David Murkowski of Gastonia, North Carolina, $111.11.
	Without comment, Christian Winter, Black Knight McTank.
	Venice, California, $100.
	Please play the original We Told You So jingle if you can.
	You know, we did away with that, the We Told You So, and we actually, one of the things we had a meeting about, we said, it's ridiculous.
	Why would we, I mean, you might as well play the thing all the time, but it's like, it makes no sense.
	You know, sometimes, by the way, we're wrong.
	Yeah, well, we always talk about it.
	Yeah, but if you think we told you so, then tweet about it.
	Throw it on the tweeters or something.
	So, yeah, the clip we'd like to, Black Knight, but we don't have it.
	I love the show, gentlemen.
	I have to get cable because my darling wife and I are expecting some come November.
	I will still donate despite all the Iron Chefs I will watch by proxy.
	Now, what does being pregnant have to do with getting cable?
	I have no idea.
	Matthew Blakeburn in Monroeville, Pennsylvania.
	$100 in the morning, John.
	I wanted to give myself a present for my 21st birthday on the 28th by donating to the show for the first time as a full-time student.
	And manager of a portrait studio, a shot of karma couldn't hurt.
	Thanks for the show.
	Keep up the great work.
	Well, we really appreciate that, especially from a student.
	You've got karma.
	It's a big deal.
	That really means a lot when people do that, when they're studying.
	People march in Ullberg, Denmark.
	$83, which is probably 20 bucks in euros, I think.
	Yeah.
	In the morning, sirs, the time has come for shrugging off the douchebag title I rightfully earned a few months ago while things are not all rosy here in Gitmo Nation, Little Mermaid.
	I think the time has come for me to become a donor, to kick off my 33-33 monthly subscription.
	I make this donation for two reasons.
	First, I'd like to request some karma for Soren Larson.
	I'll do it in a double shot in a minute.
	Listen to this, people out there.
	And nice enough to call me out as a douchebag.
	I'm sure he will find some use for the karma.
	Secondly, I like a podcast license.
	Never know when such a thing might come in handy.
	Thank you for offering an entertaining and interesting alternative to the swill that passes for mainstream news.
	He deserves a de-douching and a karma double shot.
	De-douching for himself and a karma shot for Soren Larson who called him out as a douchebag.
	Listen, listen, listen.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Thank you so much for your support of the No Agenda podcast.
	And good old Sir James Briscoe's back in town from Bayshore, New York, 7191.
	Hey guys, psycho Long Island night checking in.
	Donating the amount I just spent to fill up my shiny Altima Hybrid, which is a damn fantastic hybrid car.
	Take that, Curry.
	I'd like to give a mention to RetroGamingRadio.com, the only guys I know that did a podcast in real media format.
	Ha ha ha!
	Real media?
	That's funny.
	You know, I think the eu.int still uses real media.
	Is that wild?
	Yeah.
	And you click on it, and then it says, we'd like to install some stuff, take over everything.
	No, it's always got to upgrade.
	Yeah, associate all media with us.
	You know, like, no, no, cancel, force quit, go away.
	Real media.
	They basically play the podcast in a special browser window that is time to the podcast to bring up...
	It's time to the podcast, I guess, time to something to bring up any mentioned links for videos when the speaker mentions a link on the show so the viewer doesn't have to do anything to view the link.
	It would be a neat idea for this show, maybe.
	Not.
	No, I don't think so.
	Please give him a bit of karma for the love of my life and her consistent life of toiling away programming until 5 a.m.
	every night.
	I do love her so.
	He says, love the show, guys.
	Well, he deserves that karma.
	You've got karma.
	Jaap Geelhoed.
	Geelhoed.
	Gerald.
	Geelhoed.
	Yeah, Gesundheit.
	In Antwerp, 6666.
	Yellow hat.
	Please give me some karma because of the criminals of the BNP Paribas Fortis Bank did cancel my account because I was buying their gold bullion for years.
	I'd forward some URLs for you guys and no left...
	NoBankLeftBehind.com.
	Okay.
	CarpetbombingForPeace.com.
	That's a good one.
	MinisterieVanWaarheid.nl, which means Ministry of Truth in Dutch.
	Keep up just getting by.
	Geelhoed.
	There's a pronunciation guide for you.
	Hail the foot.
	Yeah.
	Hold on, he needs some karma here.
	You've got karma.
	Hail hoot translates directly to yellow hat.
	Sebastian de Stigter.
	Let's try it again.
	Sebastian.
	Sebastian.
	We'll do it like Occupy Wall Street.
	Sebastian de Stigter.
	Sebastian de Stigter.
	In Delft-Zuid-Holland.
	Delft-Zuid-Holland.
	Very good.
	Hi, guys.
	Donate a long time ago.
	5678.
	Sorry for the delay on this one.
	I need the karma for a difficult career choice.
	Hope this works.
	Fingers crossed.
	Love the show.
	Sebastian from GN Blood Diamond.
	Ha, ha, ha.
	You've got karma.
	I love it.
	Brian Johnson, Madison, Wisconsin.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	I want to say thanks for changing the way I see things as I go from boner to donor.
	And please send a shot of karma to my dear friend Jillian as she lives by the American dream of just getting by.
	We're so happy for you, Jillian.
	Here you go, girl.
	You've got karma.
	Another new donor, Charles Hickman in Grove City, Ohio.
	Double nickels on the dime needs some karma to clean up a mess I made.
	And since this is my second donation, I think a douche de-douching is in order.
	Everyone can afford double nickels on the dime when they cancel their cable.
	Turn off your television.
	It's killing you.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Interstate Deals in Inventura, Florida, 55 bucks.
	Thanks for continuing what's a great show.
	Continuing what's a great show.
	Here's to Adam being happy.
	Please give a shout out to our website.
	Let everyone know that we have the best prices on iPhone replacement screens.
	iPhone4parts.com.
	iPhone4parts.com is what it says.
	We ship internationally to any Gitmo Nation.
	Also, if it's not too much to ask, some of the guys in the packing room would like to hear a MILF immediately followed by a slide whistle.
	Oh, okay.
	I'll do the milf.
	You do the slide whiffle.
	Ready?
	Here we go.
	Oh, well.
	Andrew Kirby, Covington, Louisiana.
	Double niggles on the dime.
	Art Stanton, Cummins, Georgia.
	Long-time listener, second-time donor.
	Been a contractor for over a year now.
	I wouldn't mind some karma to make sure my work keeps up.
	Curry, Dvorak, 12.
	Adios, mofos.
	Yo, there you go.
	You've got karma.
	And we have a bunch of $50 donors including Eric Andreas Holland in Bergen.
	Loves the show.
	Jason Stevens, Sir Jason Stevens, New York, New York.
	Dear John and Adam, when the last time I left you guys, I was traveling for work, to which I came back to find out that I have become another victim of the economic recovery.
	Laid off.
	However, out of the blue, I got this job interview on Monday, which sounds a lot better than the old job.
	If you could throw me some karma on this one, I'd appreciate it.
	Absolutely.
	You're going to get it, my friend.
	This is what karma does.
	You've got karma.
	Matthew Scheuer in Winthrop, Minnesota, $50.
	You don't have to mention the donor in the donor segment.
	Too late for that.
	Just give my friend Curtis Begum a birthday call out.
	We did that.
	We're going to do that.
	We're going to do it on the list.
	Sir P. Snakes in Amsterdam 50 and Peter Totes.
	Yeah, $50, and that will cover our group, although we do have a topic to discuss.
	I want to thank everybody who donated and everyone who donated lesser amounts, but we do want to discuss whether or not a corporation can become a knight, because one corporation has requested that.
	What do you think?
	It kind of worked a little bit differently.
	What's the name of the company here?
	Upstart Ventures.
	Upstart Ventures.
	So the way it turned out is that different people, I guess it's a startup, it's a small company, and multiple people within the company donated to the show.
	So Rudy and Michael and Sam and Josh, and they all donated.
	So I think they're sitting there.
	I have no idea what Upstart Ventures is.
	What is Upstart Ventures?
	Maybe we should investigate first.
	Is it a venture firm?
	What is it?
	I don't know.
	None of us had bothered to look, although I have to say that none of them have it, except madebyupstart.com used their domain name as Upstart Ventures, but madebyupstart.com would be, I think, the thing to look at.
	Let me look.
	Oh, madebyupstart.com?
	MadeByUpstart.com So the question is, can we build stuff?
	You know what?
	Yeah, I think they have such a great website.
	I think they totally deserve the knighthood.
	Well, I think since the corporation's a person, we might as well give them a knighthood.
	Yeah, a knighthood.
	So it'd be Sir Upstart?
	Yeah, I love the website.
	It says, Upstart, we build stuff.
	Contact us at hello at madebyupstart.com.
	Hey, this rocks.
	We build stuff.
	Hey, build me an anti-gravitational device, will you?
	I'm looking for one of those.
	I'll fly it.
	He needs to be sitting on the ceiling.
	I'll fly it.
	Thank you very much for your support.
	So unlike BBC and FBC Media and PBS, we don't take money from sponsors who we're not going to report on.
	By the way, please notice...
	The amount of Boeing Corporation commercials recently.
	And I can tell you, and by the way, these are not, you know, like, buy a Boeing.
	These are complete positioning at Boeing.
	We know the future of blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah, they're going to get into the drone business if they're not already.
	Well, they also just delivered the 787 Dreamliner and they don't want any negative reporting.
	Right.
	That's why they buy commercial airtime.
	The fact that it's late and the outsourcing cost them tons of money because they were stupid.
	And there's pieces left over that they don't know where they go.
	Nobody knows where they go.
	There's actual pieces left over.
	Like, I don't know where this goes, man.
	Forget about it.
	So that's why they buy.
	You can set your clock by it.
	The 787 Dreamliner all of a sudden increased commercials on PBS and NPR, your national treasures, about Boeing, just positioning pieces so they don't say anything negative because, you know, that could impact severely.
	Whereas we say something negative or wrong or something the audience doesn't like, and we get impacted immediately and we get hit severely.
	So we know that if we're not truthful and we're not out there bringing the best that we can, the best product, not making you the product, that we get punished.
	So we bring you the product that you are actually asking for.
	And it's a truthful product.
	And you can support this product here.
	Do you want to add any domains to that?
	And I want to add, yeah, you can also go to channeldvorak.com slash NA or noagendanation.com and buy a mug or a slave t-shirt.
	And you can also go to noagendashow.com, which has a direct link to the donation pages.
	And I would go to the donation page every once in a while because they do get updated.
	There's new offerings and ideas that are fun.
	Yeah, the 345.67 is a cool donation amount.
	That's going to be a fun show.
	And there's all kinds of great ideas coming in for the store, which I kind of like.
	11-11-11-11 coming up.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that is coming up.
	A month from now, or a little more than a month from now, we're going to have 11-11-11.
	I mean, that's a big deal.
	Yeah, it's going to be extremely lucky.
	We're going to be pushing that.
	Absolutely.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	Oh, no agenda.
	Happy birthday, Matthew Blakeburn.
	He is congratulating himself.
	He turned 21 yesterday, finally legal in the United States of Gitmo Nation.
	Matthew Schauer says happy birthday to Curtis Begeman.
	Also, his birthday was yesterday on the 28th.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	And then, for the very first time ever, John, you might need your extra big blade for this one.
	Here you go.
	Because we'd like to have Upstart Ventures, made by Upstart.com, step forward, extend your ring finger.
	As of our very first time, a corporation, of which the parts consist of human resources, has donated up to $1,000 in support of the No Agenda podcast.
	Thereby, we pronounce the Sir Upstart!
	Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	I don't know if you can handle our hookers and blows, but there they are at the roundtable.
	Have a seat.
	Happy to have you aboard.
	Now, someone asked about the We Told You So jingle.
	We're not going to play that, but I would like to do this.
	All aboard!
	Brain's good, brain's bad.
	Woo-hoo!
	As part of the Drone Nation programming that is going on for your brain, a lot of people pointed this out to me as I think Gizmodo did the big story on it.
	Completely unbelievable.
	But, you know, so I think if you look in the red book, is it in the red book, Jonathan?
	I think in the Red Book I said, be on the lookout for stories that show pilots screwing up.
	Because, of course...
	That's been all over the book because you've been saying that for, I don't know, six months.
	Right.
	And now the drones are being integrated into our daily life and vernacular because, you know, even the terrorists are making them now.
	An all-Nippon Airways passenger plane carrying 117 passengers on board experienced a little bit of a scare earlier this month.
	Why?
	Oh, no.
	What happened?
	Because a numb-brained pilot...
	A numb-brained...
	This is great reporting, by the way.
	It said that?
	Yeah.
	A numb-brained pilot accidentally almost made a Boeing 737 fly belly-up as in upside-freaking-down.
	So here's what happened, according to the report.
	The coat...
	Now, please...
	Airmen, listen to this.
	You will love this report.
	The co-pilot mistook the rudder trim knob for the cockpit door lock switch, so when he, quote, opened the door for his captain, he actually caused the jet to roll and drop 1,900 meters in 30 seconds, according to internal investigations.
	The narrow-body aircraft continued to roll until it reached 131.7 degrees to the left, leaving it almost belly up, its noise pointed down as much as 35 degrees at one point.
	Now, this is hooey.
	I cannot believe this actually happened the way it's reading back.
	A rudder trim knob.
	If you've ever been in a cockpit, there's one thing you'll notice about the controls.
	They are oversized and weirdly shaped.
	Have you ever noticed this, John?
	Yeah, they're big.
	Well, like the gear, for gear down.
	They're not little bitty things, that's for sure.
	What does that knob look like, the gear down knob?
	The gear down knob, that is...
	It looks like a big wheel.
	Well, I've seen it in the cockpit of a 47.
	It's the same.
	It looks like a rubber wheel.
	Very important is it's a rubber wheel.
	When you grab onto that, it feels like a wheel, and that is done for a purpose, just like flaps.
	The flaps knob is a very thin, broad knob, which gives you tactile feedback telling you it's flaps.
	Now, I'm not familiar, of course, with the 737-700 series, but this mistake seems highly unlikely, and I'm not sure about the performance, but this is essentially the same as hitting the left rudder with your foot really hard, I guess.
	And I guess for some reason that's possible at these speeds.
	If I do it in my aircraft, I probably have a good chance of snapping a cable if you do it too hard.
	But it will totally unbalance the aircraft, but it's not going to make it fly belly up.
	And in fact, even these 35 degrees pointed nose downward is not belly up anywhere near it or 131.7 degrees left.
	What I don't get is why the door lock, the cabin door lock would be right there.
	I don't know, but it's beyond the point.
	I think you made your point, this bogus report.
	Numb brain pilot, that's what it's all about.
	Now it is second half of the show, so time to...
	Oh, wait a minute.
	What?
	I think we should begin the second half of the show then with something that will highlight where you're going to head.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	And this is just a crazy clip I picked up with Jon Stewart because you know people have funny laughs.
	Jon Stewart is foreboding now on this show.
	This isn't about him.
	It's about Seth Rogen.
	And there's two clips.
	Don't play the long one.
	Play the little one.
	It says, Seth Rogen.
	This is a deal breaker.
	I don't know how many people have interpersonal relations, but the person that you're with that have a laugh that is so weird that you really probably couldn't spend a lot of time with him.
	This is Seth Rogen's worst laugh in the world clip.
	He does.
	He literally is like, did you learn nothing from what I went through?
	As I'm like smoking a hamburger.
	Nice.
	I think that's nice.
	This kid will, I got to tell you.
	Well, what does that have to do with my clip?
	I'm just putting it out there because I suspect that that...
	Applies to whatever it is you're going, wherever it is you're going in the second half of the show.
	That laugh.
	Not at all.
	Keep it in your heads, people.
	No, not at all.
	Residents living near a volcano on Spain's Canary Islands have been moved from their homes because of fears it's about to erupt.
	The Pico de Malpaso on El Hierro Island has been rumbling and spitting rocks since July.
	The regional government says it's on a state of pre-alert and are stocked up on medical supplies and water.
	Yep, get ready for the Canary Islands to break off and cause the tidal wave and make everyone move to West Virginia.
	This has been predicted.
	It's coming.
	Actually, this is funny because this predates the Red Book.
	You had predicted the Canary Islands specifically, I think about two to two and a half years ago, three years ago, and then you pulled the prediction because something happened.
	It was either the Chilean thing or something else happened and you pulled the prediction.
	Really?
	Yes, you did.
	Well, how silly of me.
	It has to be back on the table.
	But we did talk about this in the past few weeks.
	But it was a earthquake in the Canary Islands, not a volcano.
	Right.
	But the whole thing is volcanic, and I guess you get the volcano, you get the...
	Yeah, it's just...
	All right.
	Then that crazy guy...
	Remember the crazy...
	This is so funny, because I was looking for it, of course, it didn't happen.
	Remember the crazy Asian scientist guy who's always pushing a book, who said, we're going to go try and replicate crop circles with microwave ovens?
	I do remember that.
	Yeah.
	Well, where's that test?
	He said it was going to be the end of the month.
	That was two months ago.
	Where is it?
	Of course, they didn't do it because they can't because the crop circles are real.
	Just as real as the sunspots, which is actually a pretty decent report.
	The solar flares, we have seen them.
	We've got pictures of them, thankfully, from NASA. We can't really predict when they're going to erupt?
	No, but we dodged the bullet.
	This past weekend, a gigantic solar flare just grazed by the Earth, lighting up the skies over southern England.
	They saw the northern lights light up because of the aurora borealis.
	And that sunspot on the sun is still shooting solar flares at the Earth.
	The sun is taking pot shots at the Earth.
	The Sun does rotate just like the Earth does, and I guess we were lucky.
	You said it was a glancing blow.
	It basically wasn't aimed at us, but it is kind of spinning more toward us.
	That's right.
	There's a sunspot eight times bigger than the Earth.
	It just opened up just a few days ago, and it's erupting by shooting solar flares like a rifle pointed at more or less the direction of the Earth.
	But because of the Earth's spin and because of the sun's rotation, it was a glancing blow.
	Otherwise, all hell would have broken loose over this past weekend.
	And because, I mean, talked about power outages, that kind of thing, communications outages because of satellites get fried.
	We're talking about some potentially very disruptive problems.
	I'm always amazed that no one ever says, hey, we just had a huge outage across three states in the southwest.
	Could that have anything to do with sunspots?
	No one ever follows up on that.
	And I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
	And I'm pretty sure that we are going to see big communications outages.
	We know that Fox has moved a lot of their transmission from satellite-based to IP-based.
	Not that those things won't get fried.
	And I'd also like to thank the anonymous donor who has sent some certain type of radio broadcasting equipment to my house which you need to be licensed for.
	And I'm putting it in a Faraday cage.
	You should put your computer in a Faraday cage where you're at, or actually, you can get some small amounts of lead foil.
	You could make a lead foil hat for yourself, and then you should put...
	A hat?
	Thank you, really?
	I need the hat.
	You need a hat, and then you should put some around your computers.
	Okay.
	Well, I'm going to put one around at least one of my computers and around some particular transceiver equipment that I am in possession of, which I think you need to be licensed for, which I won't do anything with unless it's necessary.
	What are you on, good buddy?
	Are you on the 2 meter or the 400 band or whatever?
	Which one will be better for us?
	Why?
	We can't talk to each other.
	If we're going to go VHF, which is what we're talking about for the lower licenses, you've got to go through repeaters and the repeaters will get blown out.
	You have to get a general ham license, which I'm going to have to do, to broadcast on AM so you can get that long shot.
	I can shoot straight to you.
	So what frequency is that?
	I just need to know the frequency.
	I don't care about the license.
	It's not a frequency, it's a range of frequencies.
	What's the range?
	What's the meter?
	Well, for the AM stuff, let me get it for you so I'm not saying anything wrong.
	I should know this stuff off at the top of my head, of course, because you have to know it when you take the license, but it's easy to forget.
	Well, let's see.
	Long-distance shortwave propagation.
	I think 200 meters would be good.
	Okay.
	Got it.
	Does that?
	It will.
	Okay.
	And I just string up a lot of wire, right?
	With 200 meters, apparently.
	Right, but then I just string up a lot of wire, right?
	1,500 kilohertz is a good number.
	1,500 kilohertz.
	Okay, good.
	That's important.
	Something funny.
	Department of Homeland Security's new headquarters.
	Do you hear about this?
	No.
	So this is where Janet Napolitano will be seated.
	It used to be an insane asylum, apparently.
	What did?
	It's the building where the Department of Homeland Security's new headquarters will be located.
	They didn't build a new one.
	This is where Janet's office will be.
	It's an abandoned, sane asylum.
	Really?
	Yeah, you can't write this stuff.
	It's perfect.
	No!
	It's perfect.
	And then I was looking at H.R. 1540.
	Which has been referred to the Senate, National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012.
	And it's a very interesting document.
	Particularly this line, which includes a number of billions of dollars to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2012 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy.
	I thought that was kind of weird.
	Why does the Department of Energy need defense activities?
	The Department of Energy runs Area 51.
	Oh, Janet Airways.
	Hmm.
	So they need to defend it?
	There's nothing there.
	It's not important, right?
	I don't know.
	The Department of Energy is pretty suspicious.
	The fact that they run Area 51 is not a military installation.
	The Department of Energy controls it.
	Anyway, it's a very interesting bill.
	It's very long.
	Very, very long.
	But they've got...
	It's just...
	The amount of stuff that is in here that we're buying, it's just, wow.
	I want some rides on that stuff.
	Like the Advanced Rotorcraft Flight Research and Development.
	I want to do some R&D on your Advanced Rotorcraft.
	But Department of Energy getting defense activities.
	Everybody's getting into the act.
	Yeah, they really are.
	It's concerning.
	So I have a couple more clips.
	No, I thought you were going to tell me about the cantaloupe.
	The cantaloupe?
	Yeah, it's killing people.
	What cantaloupe?
	You don't watch anything, do you?
	Well, just watch C-SPAN. There was nothing about the cantaloupe on C-SPAN. 14 people dead because of listeria food poisoning.
	Oh, listeria.
	Yeah, that's another attempt to ban raw milk, too, by the way.
	Oh, cool.
	Tell me about it.
	Well, listeria is one of those crazy micro-diseases that's attributed to raw milk a lot of the times.
	That's why they get to shut down these guys.
	So we can drink the crappy pasteurized stuff that's been...
	Okay, so it's not about...
	Okay, thank you for helping with that.
	So it's not about the cantaloupe.
	It's actually purely about the listeria, which is just related to raw food, which is another part of the Codex Alimentarius.
	Exactly.
	Okay.
	Thomas, by the way, responded...
	Remember we were talking about Obama's yawning deficit?
	And a lot of people think, buy a better dictionary.
	Yawning means...
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Is that our typical listener?
	That is our typical bitchy.
	I always say to these people, have you donated yet?
	No?
	Okay.
	No, those people never donate.
	They just complain.
	Just complain.
	But I think you are much more of a linguist than I am.
	We agree that the usage of the word yawning was kind of weird in his speech.
	Yeah, it makes no sense anyone would use it.
	It's just like it was put there for a reason.
	Well, Thomas from Get My Nation Deutschland said, you know, I was wondering about this.
	In German we say, which can be translated as yawning emptiness.
	He says maybe he has German speechwriters.
	I'm like, that could be something to that.
	Nazi speechwriters.
	Some guys left over from Operation Paperclip writing the speeches for the president.
	Which is a direct translation, apparently.
	Hey, look at this speech Adolph did.
	Let's use that one.
	Did you hear the speech, the written speech that was given to these two Berkeley University of California students?
	Spies.
	Hikers?
	Spies.
	Spies.
	I have...
	They would actually mispronounce the word.
	There's a gaping hole that I thought was just part of the transmission, but then I looked at it on the Audacity, and it obviously was cut out.
	So there's something they said that's missing from the commentary.
	But then they're reading this, you know, now that they're free, and they misuse...
	Just play this and tell me what he says at the end.
	Just hours after we left prison, we were able to swim in the waters of the Gulf.
	We stayed up all night with our loved ones, and we watched the most beautiful sunset we've ever seen.
	Okay, there was a...
	There was a hole in the thing, but he said they saw the most beautiful sunstet.
	Really?
	What is a sunstet?
	Well, I don't know, but the word stet is like a copywriting term, meaning leave it to the line.
	Someone forgot to pull it out of the prompter?
	They just left the copywriting notes in there?
	Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
	Somebody...
	Ah, good.
	A good one.
	Sunstet.
	Yeah, and what were they saying?
	We were only captured because we were Americans.
	Well, yeah, that'll teach you to go to Iran, douche.
	Duh.
	Don't do that.
	Spy.
	So we had a weird story here in the Bay Area that I think is an indication of the kind of wimpy politicians that we have.
	This is a story that took place in Sausalito.
	And it was a long city council meeting and this woman...
	During the council meeting, this guy's trying to say something, and she shoves her hand pretty much in the guy's face and makes that shushing, quiet, quiet, shakes it at him.
	Not a fan of that.
	And he slaps her hand and, get away from me with that hand.
	An apology tonight in the slapping incident at a Sausalito City Council meeting.
	It was the first council meeting since Vice Mayor Mike Kelly slapped Councilwoman Carolyn Ford's hand.
	It happened September 13th after Ford lifted her hand toward Kelly and shushed him.
	Kelly said the slap came after a grueling five-hour council meeting filled with considerable conflict.
	This was truly uncharacteristic behavior on my part.
	I am deeply embarrassed by my action and I apologized to Carolyn Ford.
	And to the citizens of Sausalito.
	Going forward, no matter how passionate or heated the debate, I promise to conduct myself in a respectful manner that befits the office of Sausalito Councilman.
	Ford said she appreciated and accepted Ford's apology, but she has filed a complaint with police.
	She's charging him with battery!
	You slap me!
	I can just see these.
	I didn't have to see the video to know what these women are like.
	It stuns me.
	Yeah.
	Go back to watching.
	You're going to be hitting a woman!
	Yeah.
	Don't raise your hand to me.
	Hey, you know, there's a girl who comes up here from time to time, Laura, and she helps do our admin.
	So she'll, Mickey found her when we first moved here, and she'll take all, you know, the receipts and everything.
	It's a very laborious task, and of course, you know, I, like some other people I know, filed an extension, you know, so the actual tax actually has to be paid in like two weeks on the 17th of October.
	And she couldn't come for a couple of weeks because she had had some form of seizure.
	And, you know, it was weird.
	She had a seizure.
	Who knows what it is, but she went to the hospital.
	They kept her there for a couple of days.
	And, you know, she's okay.
	I mean, who knows what it was, right?
	It could be from anything.
	But she doesn't have epilepsy or anything else.
	But you know what happened?
	She got a notice from the DMV, and she has to go through a whole series of tests, and her license has been revoked.
	Wow.
	Well, I guess that's the thanks you get for working at the Curry Company.
	No, but seriously.
	So the hospital, when they see, like, I didn't know this happens, but when the hospital sees a seizure case, regardless of the outcome, they send it on to DMV, and your license gets revoked.
	And then you have to go through all these tests to prove that you won't have that while you're driving.
	Now, first, I think there's a privacy issue in here.
	But that's kind of Gitmo-y to me.
	I think it might be illegal to do that because your medical information is supposed to belong to you and you only.
	You as a person.
	Yeah, that's what I thought.
	But I guess not.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	Well, that needs to be looking into.
	And I guess there's two things we have to double back on.
	One is Don't Ask, Don't Tell actually went through.
	Oops.
	And I guess I was wrong on that.
	And John, I think you and I still kind of think that there's...
	There's still something up, and maybe we'll figure it out, but it seems like, I guess you can be gay and proud of it and be in the military, so I never thought it would happen.
	I really didn't.
	I was quite surprised by that.
	You already apologized for this.
	No, I don't think I did.
	So there is, I've got a clip.
	There was one more thing I was going to say.
	So gold took a huge dump, which I believe was manipulated, and I think it's a huge earning moment.
	Now, if you listen to DH Unplugged, Horowitz makes such an elegant explanation for it that it makes perfect sense.
	So the explanation, of course I listen to Horowitz Unplugged, Dvorak Horowitz Unplugged, and he says people had to, they had margin calls, they had to get cash.
	No, it's more than that.
	The hedge funds all have to pay.
	I understand.
	People listen to that show.
	All I'm saying is...
	I believe, and this is my own personal, you can believe, you know, please put all your money with Horowitz.
	Please send all your cash to him.
	Let him make you a billionaire.
	That's fine.
	I'm saying that this will go right back up.
	This was a big earning moment, so everyone gets to buy in low again, and it's going to go up, and they'll sell again when it's higher than that.
	But the Canadian CTV gave a much better analysis than Horowitz ever could.
	Why is it not playing?
	This is weird.
	Hey.
	Wow, man.
	I had such a nice setup, too.
	Yeah, it was.
	The timing was good.
	You're ready to rock.
	Here we go.
	Bridget joins us now.
	Bridget, overall, how did today compare to yesterday?
	The biggest surprise of today was definitely gold.
	It was down about $100 an ounce.
	That represents the biggest two-day drop in 28 years.
	There's a couple of things going on today.
	Some investors were selling off their gold holdings to try to make up for losses in other areas.
	But Todd Hirsch says there's something else happening here, too.
	Some investors aren't confident with what gold is backed by or if it's backed by anything at all as compared to something like the U.S. dollar.
	Investors are comfortable that the U.S. dollar is backed by the American government.
	So no matter what is happening to the American economy, something like the U.S. dollar is backed by the Federal Reserve.
	That's going to be around a year from now.
	That's a much more comfortable investment for them.
	So, uh...
	Oh, man!
	Gold is backed by nothing, but the U.S. dollar is backed by the...
	What moronic show were you watching?
	This was Canadian CTV. But by the way, Bridget is hot.
	Smoking hot.
	So it doesn't matter what she says.
	But I was like, really?
	The U.S. dollar.
	People want to be in the dollar because it's backed by the U.S. government.
	Which prints money.
	At least they've got a printing press.
	You're right.
	That tops Horowitz by a mile.
	Meanwhile, breaking news out of Canada.
	Play the fireworks clip.
	Hold on a second.
	We've got breaking news out of Canada.
	Here's fireworks and furs burnt to the ground.
	Animal rights activists are claiming responsibility for setting a fire at a fur retailer in Caldwell, Idaho early Monday.
	The fire occurred at the Rocky Mountain Fireworks and Fur Company, a company that buys coyote and bobcat pelts and sells trapping supplies.
	Okay.
	This was, I guess, not in Canada, but...
	Whatever.
	But what kind of a company is called Fireworks and Furs?
	And then they wonder why it burnt to the ground.
	Hmm, let me think.
	I have a great idea.
	Some guy smoking, maybe?
	John, this is a new business opportunity for us.
	Fireworksandfurs.com.
	Get yours now while stocks last.
	Fireworks and furs.
	That's great.
	Hey, shout out there to our friends and relatives in Gitmo Nation Kiwi.
	They're ramming through this New Zealand food bill.
	You thought it was bad here with the propaganda about listeria or listerine or whatever is in the cantaloupes.
	They are absolutely making it illegal to grow your own food in New Zealand.
	And this is the...
	Yeah, it's the food bill.
	I kid you not.
	Why do people put up with this?
	Well, they're friendly there in Kiwi.
	Here, we recommend the sub-clause be deleted.
	And this sub-clause is introduced that a food business would capture people who do not trade in food but are directly or peripherally involved in facilitating the trade of food.
	This is all about not being...
	You have to be licensed, essentially, to grow food.
	This is coming everywhere.
	No, I think it's coming here.
	In fact, it's already been experimented with.
	And in some places, you can't even collect water from the rainfall.
	Like, I think Colorado's got laws against that.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Huh.
	And it's just a whole thing.
	It's just a lockdown.
	You know, that way they can starve you if they want to.
	Well, it's the only thing that's going to be left is growing our own food.
	And wherever Ms.
	Mickey and I wind up next, and by the way, Sunday after the show we're flying to Austin for a couple days to go and look at...
	Get the vibe, I guess.
	Make sure you get a nice backyard.
	Big, big acreage.
	I mean, I'd rather be living in a tent somewhere.
	In fact, we may just go look at land.
	That RV life is okay.
	I just need some power and some land.
	You need a generator.
	Yeah, you know, Stex...
	Cave.
	Look for a cave.
	Yeah, on Craigslist.
	Wanted.
	Cave in Austin.
	Steck sent me a link to, I guess Steck has money, and he contributes a lot of information to the show.
	And he says, you know, all of us here, and he's in Chicago, all of us are getting these particular types of generators, and they're all natural gas and liquid gas generators.
	And I don't think that's a good idea.
	I think you should get a diesel generator, which is hard to come by.
	I've been looking at generators, not that I can afford one, because a diesel generator is very expensive.
	If you want it to do a minimum of 8 kilowatts, which is kind of what you need if you want to run any appliance, it's like $4,000 or $5,000.
	But I'm like, if there's a real emergency, I don't think you want to be running off of gas.
	Why?
	Because gas lines get disrupted.
	Oh, you mean gas?
	Natural gas.
	What about gasoline?
	What's wrong with that?
	Well, because gasoline supply lines can get disrupted, but diesel, you can make diesel from all kinds of stuff.
	You can make it from plants.
	You can make biodiesel, which the engine has to be adjusted for that.
	That's not true.
	That is not true.
	I've had a lot of experience.
	The only thing that you have to do is if it's cold, biodiesel will gel and will not be liquid enough to be used as fuel.
	But you don't have to.
	A modern diesel engine needs no adaption.
	I'm wondering about that because I think the modern diesel engine, which is designed for the special low-sulfur diesel, which has been introduced a few years ago, will not run bio...
	I will remind you that I had a biodiesel car.
	What year was it?
	What year was the motor?
	No, that's irrelevant.
	It was not?
	No, it is.
	I did all the study, and I'm a member of Biofuel Oasis there in Oakland.
	It's a garage, and they had brand new Mercedes diesels rolling up, brand new Volkswagens.
	Actually, they were like a year old because they banned the sale in California.
	But no, a modern diesel engine will burn anything, any kind of biodiesel fuel.
	Not a problem.
	All right, well, that's a good argument if that's absolutely true.
	No conversion necessary.
	So you could make biodiesel from cooking fat, from poop, from hemp, from cottonseed.
	You can make it from all kinds.
	And I think that's a much safer bet.
	Even though more expensive to run than natural gas or gasoline.
	And it's probably why they're all so hard to find.
	People don't want you having the good stuff.
	Well, I would go with that then.
	And I'll look into it.
	But it may not be a bad idea to invest.
	And I'm saving.
	I'm saving.
	Because I really want one.
	No matter what.
	I have a bad feeling about these sunspots and everything.
	You watch.
	And we won't be able to play the jingle.
	Because we won't have a show.
	Well, there must be some...
	We had to think of a contingency plan if we get our electronics blown up.
	Because what happens, once that happens, there'll be a shortage for...
	It'll take months to get back online.
	So, what's your plan, Stan?
	I don't have one.
	Yeah, that's what I thought.
	Me neither.
	Because we may have power with our jennies.
	Yeah, so what?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Okay.
	All I need is to be able to eat.
	Because, you know, we also won't have to pay rent and anything, because nothing will work.
	So what's the after show clip?
	Do you want to do Ron Paul or Farage?
	You know, I think Farage is slightly more entertaining.
	We can always do Ron Paul.
	Okay, so this is Farage, and he'll be talking about the crazy Europe and that everyone's a president, which is kind of good.
	For those of you who have been listening to this program all the way through, I think we're up to like nine $10 donors now, John.
	I think we've doubled it.
	Wait, did you count them?
	Did you count them?
	Let me look at the spreadsheet.
	You have...
	Ten dollar donor.
	While John is doing that, the idea is if you sat here and you're one of the four or five hundred people who listened to the entire show live on the stream, was it worth ten bucks to you?
	Did you have a happy ending?
	If so, consider going to Dvorak.org slash NA and hooking us up with ten bucks.
	If everyone who is listening to the stream right now and listened to the entire program did that, we would be set.
	And it would actually only take me three months to get the generator.
	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 out of 500.
	What's the percentage on that?
	Low.
	No, 1% would be 5.
	3% maybe.
	3% maybe.
	And the next show, anyone who does this $10 gimmick, they get the opportunity to have a free deck of cards.
	Yeah.
	We're just going to pick one at random.
	Anyway, all of your support for the show is highly appreciated.
	Thank you, students.
	Thank you to our artists who are always there with all the great stuff that really, without good art, we have very little hope of a good showing of support.
	And we're going to go back to the C-spans.
	We're going to avoid all of the crap that the mainstream media is shoving down your throat, which has absolutely nothing to do with news.
	And I shall continue to put the final dabs of glue on my homemade drone.
	Coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, Gibbonation West, People's Republic of Southern California.
	For as long as I can stand it here in the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's going to be boiling hot today, and then the fog will roll in and cool things off.
	And that's your weather report.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	Co-President Nigel Farage, Freedom and Democracy. - Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Mr.
	Barroso, you told us this morning that the European Union is an inspiration.
	And whilst you admitted to there being one or two little economic problems, you made it perfectly clear that jobs and growth were to follow, that everything's going well.
	In fact, you painted a vision that a new period of European renewal is upon us.
	Now, as a former communist yourself, you probably remember the old Soviet leaders getting up to give their speeches and telling everybody that there was a record harvest or that tractor production figures were terribly good.
	And they, of course, believed that history was on their side.
	In fact, President Khrushchev got up and said to the West, we will bury you.
	You know, so much did he believe in his own union.
	Well, now, of course, we look back at that and we laugh.
	And I think in our tomorrows, people will look back at you and they will say, how on earth did this unelected man get all of this power?
	And how did Europe's political class, sitting in this room, decide that the community method should replace national democracy?
	I think people will look back in astonishment that we've surrendered democracy.
	What you want to do is to say, right, we have a European Union, and what we're going to have to do now is have more of it.
	So as an architect, and you're one of the key architects of the current failure, what we're going to do, even though everything to date has been wrong, we're going to do more of the same.
	Now I thought that was a definition of madness.
	I can't believe that is a rational response to any situation in which you find yourself.
	And far from it being a state of the union, I would argue that the union is in a state.
	Because just look at the confusion.
	We've got you as the President of the European Commission.
	We've got a President of the European Parliament.
	We've got my old friend Herman Van Rompuy, who is the Permanent President of the European Council.
	We've got the polls.
	They're now Presidents, temporarily, of the European Council.
	We've got Presidents all around this room.
	Goodness me, even I'm a President!
	I mean, I'm not sure what the collective noun for Presidents is.
	Perhaps an incompetence, I don't know.
	But certainly when you take away democratic accountability, it's clear nobody really is in charge.
	And it's developing as a union of intolerance.
	Anybody that stands up here and dares to give a political view that is different to the received wisdom is written off as mad, insane, violent, fascist.
	We've heard it for years from these people.
	And the intolerance is so deep.
	That when we get referendums in France, the Netherlands and Ireland that reject your view, you see it as a political class as a problem to be overcome.
	So I'm very worried about the whole root of this union.
	There is a new nationalism that is sweeping Europe.
	You want to abolish the nation states.
	In your case, Mr Schultz, perhaps because you're ashamed of your past, and you now want this flag, this flag, and a new anthem to replace nation-states, and you don't care how you get there.
	If you have to crush national democracy, if you have to oppose popular referendums, you just sweep this aside and say that it's populism.
	Well, it's not.
	It's democracy.
	And what is sweeping Northern Europe now Starting off in April with that amazing result in the Finnish general election is there is a new democratic revolution sweeping Northern Europe.
	It's not anti-European.
	It wants a Europe of trade.
	It wants a Europe of cooperation.
	It wants a Europe where we can do student exchanges, where we can work in each other's capital cities.
	It wants those things.
	But it does not want this European Union model.
	Frankly, you are all now yesterday's men.
	He does.
	He literally is like, did you learn nothing from what I went through?
	As I'm like smoking a hamburger.
	Nice!
