Time	Text
	When I met the Queen, I curtsied.
	I bet you did.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, October 20th, 2011.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 349-er.
	This is no agenda.
	I smell a rat 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 we're celebrating, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's so funny how we think alike sometimes. .
	Yes.
	Yeah, you said we're celebrating.
	Well, let's do it properly.
	Hey, Johnny boy, how you doing?
	Woo-hoo!
	Woo-hoo!
	We got him!
	I think we should just keep the machine gun going throughout the entire show.
	We had the...
	We have this, one of our contributors, a young, I think he's in college, complaining he can't get his dad to listen to the show because he's a broadcaster.
	Every time he tunes in, he thinks it's another morning zoo show.
	No, we're not a morning zoo show.
	Hey everybody, how you doing?
	In the morning to you, John.
	Hello?
	Hello?
	It goes on for hours, trust me.
	Yeah.
	In the morning to you.
	And by the way, that particular machine gun sound is like, it's really a classic clunker.
	Well, that's it.
	It's the AK-47.
	Is that an AK-47?
	Yeah, I took it straight from the BBC soundtrack.
	I mean, live video sound.
	It's nuts!
	I'll say it one more time.
	In the morning to you, and in the morning to all ships and sea, boots on the ground, and everyone else listening to the show.
	Yes, in the morning to all the rats in the sewers who are smoking out of their holes.
	And, of course, all of our human resources in the chat room, lined up, ready to go, at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
	So, yeah, of course, this morning, we awoke here to the celebratory news.
	That, uh, Muammar Gaddafi is captured, killed, uh, maybe, got him, kind of.
	Here's a video camera, screen cap footage, I think we have him, don't you know he's dead, thing, what?
	Well, it depends.
	On?
	On what you mean by dead.
	The series of events was rather interesting, I have to say.
	So, of course, we don't know if he's dead.
	And by the way, you know, we saw this since the beginning.
	We used to see these guys with those crazy guns on the back of pickup trucks.
	Nobody ever shooting at them, of course.
	And they're firing aimlessly at everything.
	Boom.
	And so they basically, if you look at these towns, I mean, whether Gaddafi's dead or not, they have basically just shot up the place.
	Oh, yeah.
	They didn't accomplish anything.
	I mean, I don't even know if they ever hit anybody, but they wrecked, literally wrecked these towns.
	I mean, the pictures of these towns that they attacked with these anti-aircraft guns aimed at buildings.
	No, John, first of all, That's the NATO bombs that we never saw on television.
	We never saw that.
	All we saw was...
	Whatever the case is, it seems like a lot of damage.
	Well, I have a little timeline.
	Actually, it was funny because I was putting it together and then this morning it comes out perfect.
	The timing could not have been any better.
	And of course, I think everyone will agree that it doesn't matter whether Gaddafi is dead or not.
	It's the perception that counts.
	And of course, his body has been whisked away to a secret location for security reasons.
	So we'll never actually ever see anything, I'm sure.
	You know, it's so beautiful how they find him in a sewer like a rat, exactly what he called his own people.
	Everything just fits in nicely.
	But what's interesting...
	It's two days ago, Lucifer Clinton makes a trip over to Tripoli and stands up there and does a whole speech with Jabroni Jabril, the quote-unquote prime minister of the Transitional National Committee.
	And, you know, the coincidence of her being there in Tripoli, although she says she was Tripoli, all I saw was her and two flags.
	Who knows where she was?
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	And then the BBC, just to kind of add a little bit of oomph to the story, they showed this...
	Did you see this new secret weapon that the...
	The rebels have?
	It's not an anti-aircraft gun screwed to the back of a pickup truck?
	You've got to look at this thing.
	Let me play the report for you.
	I'll play the report and I'll tell you exactly what it looks like.
	Anti-Gaddafi forces have unveiled their very latest weapon.
	It's very unusual, this.
	It's a bit of a behemoth.
	And, well, it's concrete and steel.
	It's a bit of a cross between a bulldozer and a battleship.
	It's painted in the colors of the new national flag.
	That's red, green and black.
	It was made in Misrata workshops that belonged to those opposing Gaddafi.
	It's got four machine guns on the top, but the strange thing is that the driver can't actually see where he's going.
	A camera shows him where he is on the road.
	Look at this thing on Google, John.
	It's like a Mardi Gras float.
	I swear to God, it's like a battleship made of concrete and steel that goes like two miles an hour with little slots for gun turns.
	It's the stupidest thing ever.
	I think literally they had some kind of parade, like a Mardi Gras, and then the BBC said, oh no, that's their latest secret weapon.
	They have a series of photos on the New York Times Africa site, and they show this thing and this crazy gun they've made, which looks like a...
	But do you see the boat?
	They only have one picture of the front of that thing.
	It looks like somebody, some custom shop out of Los Angeles went berserk.
	Yeah, like Chopper's USA or whatever, one of those reality shows.
	California Customs.
	No, no, what is those redneck and guns guys?
	Maybe they put it together.
	You know, those gun reality shows.
	It's the stupidest thing ever.
	So anyway, so Lucifer's there.
	We're late to the party, too, don't you think?
	Oh, of course.
	So Lucifer Clinton is there two days ago, and she does a speech simultaneously with Jabroni Jabril, the U.S.-educated prime minister, I might point out, in the educated University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.
	And she says something which, when I analyzed it, when I listened to it, sounded to me like the setup was there, ready to go, signal was given.
	And we think that the programs that the Transitional National Council have outlined to pay to the families of the fallen martyrs to prepare...
	Notice she uses the word martyrs, and she uses that a lot, by the way.
	Not victims, but they're martyrs.
	...programs and treatment and training for those who have served are exactly what will be needed.
	Getting a national army and a police force under civilian command is essential.
	And the United Nations, the United States, and other partners stand ready to do that.
	Wow.
	See, I thought that was pretty interesting.
	So you have to build an army, and we're going to do that for you.
	Unless I misunderstood.
	Play it again.
	Okay, hold on.
	Quick rewind.
	And we think that the programs that the Transitional National Council have outlined to pay to the families of the fallen martyrs to prepare programs and treatment and training for those who have served are exactly what will be needed.
	Getting a national army and a police force under civilian command is essential.
	And the United Nations, the United States and other partners stand ready to do that.
	What do you think?
	Sounds like we're sending aides.
	Advisors, boots on the ground.
	Well, but she also said, you know, we'll put our techno experts in and we'll train you people.
	We are also very focused on the young people of Libya who have the most to gain from this new freedom.
	And today I'm pleased to announce we are resuming the Fulbright program and doubling its size to permit even more Libyan students to study and train in my country.
	She had noticed the Fulbright program would be about studying, but she slips in the training word.
	And then finally, this was just a little...
	She's not very, you know, she's actually not very good.
	She's not subtle, for sure.
	Or subtle.
	In other words, if she was a poker player and you were sitting across from her, the cards would be turned around, you could see them.
	She's got a big tell.
	Well, here's the one that I thought was the funniest.
	Libya is blessed with wealth and resources, most particularly the human resources.
	Yeah.
	We will suck you dry of your human resources.
	Goodbye, Marty.
	I love you.
	Have a good flight.
	Bye, darling.
	Thank you.
	Is that you doing Hillary?
	Yeah.
	Mickey's girlfriend is leaving for Holland again.
	Don't sit on my chair next time.
	Damn it.
	So, yeah, human resources.
	Yeah, let's go suck them dry.
	So Hillary was there.
	Then on the 19th, yesterday, Jehuma Jabal comes out and says, you know, I might resign tomorrow, which would be today.
	He literally does a statement.
	It's in Time magazine.
	He says, I'm going to resign.
	It's a mess.
	The military leadership is all effed up.
	You know, if this doesn't shape up, I'm resigning.
	I'm not doing it anymore.
	Of course, you know, the guy is not a real...
	You know, like Libyan freedom fighter.
	He lived in the United States.
	He was educated here.
	He works for the State Department.
	And he's like, this is a mess.
	I want no part of this.
	So the day after Hillary is standing there with him, the very day after, he says, I'm going to resign and it might be tomorrow.
	Now, who benefits from a victory in Libya?
	Well, besides the oil companies?
	Well, which political figure benefits the most?
	Who needed some help?
	Obama, for sure.
	No, no, no.
	Well, somewhat for sure.
	But the real guy...
	I mean, who started this?
	Whose war is this?
	This is not necessarily Obama's war.
	It's the oil company's war.
	But which oil company?
	Totalfina.
	This is a French thing, French and British.
	And in the past two days, President...
	Oh, so your thing is Sarkozy benefits the most.
	Check this out.
	This is a guy from the Hoover Institute, which is some kind of BS drinking club think tank.
	He's on CNN this morning, sounding a lot like Kissinger, like a Kissinger Brzezinski love child, saying exactly what it's all about.
	Yeah.
	Well, I know that Arnold Schwarzenegger has fallen on hard times, but there was a line in his movie, which I love.
	He's talking about Schwarzenegger here for a minute.
	You know, in The Terminator, where he says, you have the right to remain silent.
	Qaddafi had the right to remain silent.
	If there was one man in the world who abused the whole nation, who stole its wealth, who took away its liberty...
	It was none other than Muhammad Gaddafi.
	And look at the way Gaddafi ends.
	He ends the way Saddam ended.
	You know, Saddam came out of a spider hole saying, I'm Saddam Hussein, I want to negotiate.
	And I think that this is justice.
	This is the game this man played.
	And I think if you really want one person who's been vindicated in the course of this event and this war, it's actually Sarkozy.
	He has a new baby, the president of France.
	He has a new baby, and he's been vindicated in Libya.
	So the new baby thing is bullcrap.
	Who cares about that?
	He wasn't even there for the birth of his daughter because he was off running to Brussels to interrupt the retirement ceremony of Jean-Claude Trichet, the European Central Bank douchebag who's skipping out, the rat jumping off the ship before it all comes tumbling down, to try and strike a deal with Herr Merkel.
	To get some of that European Stability Fund money because the French banks are about to fall over.
	In addition, he's got a real contender now on the political scene for the upcoming election.
	This guy needed a political win.
	So I think it benefits Sarkozy.
	Yeah, probably.
	But, you know, it's not going to help.
	I mean, they're one inch away from downgrading the French banks, which will screw up everything so they won't do it.
	But, you know, they're that close.
	You don't think the ratings agencies will do that?
	Moody's has already threatened, and by the way, those are always followed by action, but the problem is if the French banks are downgraded, then it changes the way you can invest into the banks if you're these big funds, because now you don't have AAA ratings, so money would get pulled out, and you'd end up with it.
	I mean, the situation in Europe is deteriorating to such an extreme that I'm actually...
	I'm not sure what's going to happen.
	It's not going to be great.
	It's not going to be good.
	Well, in Athens today, once again, blood on the streets.
	Huge strike.
	Everything is just deadlocked.
	Nothing's moving.
	No one's doing anything.
	The slaves are revolting.
	You know what the rate is on a Greek?
	180?
	180.
	Is it like 180 or something?
	188.
	So wait a minute.
	So if I put $100 into Greek bonds, I would get 188% back.
	Yeah.
	That sounds like a good deal.
	That sounds like a good deal.
	It is, but that's saying that...
	They're going to be around in a year, as opposed to going broke.
	What does it cost to hedge against that?
	What is a credit default swap?
	Believe me, these things have been so finely tuned that you as an amateur or me as an amateur can't do it.
	We can't win, huh?
	I mean, if we were Goldman, we'd probably have some scam we could do and make money on it, but no.
	I mean, you can make money by buying the bonds and hoping to God that they don't go broke.
	Then you can make a killing.
	But it's a one-sided gamble.
	Then we have...
	You're right.
	Everything's falling apart there.
	Very, very.
	Well, right now, the slaves of Gitmo Nation lowlands.
	You know, this is the stuff that you'll never hear about here.
	And, of course, I speak Dutch, so I read Dutch publications a lot.
	And, you know, people will send me articles.
	Although there is an Occupy Amsterdam, there's an Occupy The Hague.
	I think there's two or three more cropping up in the lowlands.
	Here it is.
	News just came out that the pension funds will probably have to drop their payouts by 15% in 2013, and premiums will have to go up.
	And people are like, okay, whatever.
	Pass the cheese.
	I mean, they're getting screwed.
	Well, they're going to really be screwed shortly.
	It's going to be blood in the streets, especially in Europe, where their Occupy movement's a little more violent.
	You know, the Dvorak Horowitz show this last Tuesday...
	I saw the title.
	I haven't listened to it yet.
	It was 999 was the title, right?
	Yeah, 999.
	I thought that was cute.
	I'll put it on right after the show.
	I just wanted to mention the one thing that was developed.
	Horowitz actually had a couple things that I was kind of taken aback by.
	But one of them was his explanation for the strength of the euro.
	He says, and the same with the Japanese yen, the reason those two currencies are so strong is because they're trying to repatriate as much money back into the system as possible.
	Because they're in desperate straits.
	In other words, the economy is...
	It's an odd phenomenon, but the currency is strong because the economy is about to collapse.
	You should just decimate the currency.
	So this is like the final fingernails on the cliff?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Essentially, yeah.
	I kept grilling him because he has to follow this stuff on a daily basis because it affects our markets, but...
	I kept grilling, you know, how long, and I've been asking the same thing in all these European papers, how long can this go on?
	How long can they stall the inevitable?
	There's nothing changed.
	There's nothing changing.
	Well, I'll tell you that the European publications that I'm able to read, and that's Dutch, obviously British, although they're not really in the Euro, but of course it's all tied together, German, some German, no one's really talking about a collapse.
	They're all talking about the fix.
	And the main thing being that the French banks are about to go down.
	Everyone realizes that.
	And that the essential war right now is between Germany and France.
	Gee, where have I heard that before?
	And that the French want to raid the stability fund the minute the Germans have funded it.
	And the Germans are like, no, I don't think so.
	The Germans are having none of that, but no one's really talking about the consequences other than one or two blogs.
	I read The Slog, who's a...
	Actually, I put it on the Noagenda News Network, noagendanewsnetwork.com.
	His posts are pretty interesting, and he's saying it's all going to come apart, and I trust his opinion because he's been right a lot.
	But we do have the G20 coming up, and that's supposed to fix everything.
	Obama and Timmy Geithner are going to roll in there, and it's going to fix everything, I tell you.
	Not a problem.
	It'll be great.
	I've got this great, great clip of Geithner going on about how we should or should not celebrate national events.
	You should play that clip so you get kind of a feeling for how Geithner's going.
	I think that it's kind of ridiculous because we should celebrate what we want to celebrate.
	We shouldn't be told what we shouldn't by others.
	This is how we should celebrate in America.
	I saw John McCain this morning, literally, like, this is a day for celebration.
	I'm like, yay!
	We all should be shooting our guns in the air, man.
	Celebrate!
	We kill another guy!
	He's dead, dead, dead!
	Dead, dead, dead!
	We celebrate killing people in this country!
	Yeah!
	You're dead, bitches!
	Dead!
	Dead, dead, dead.
	I don't have any bombs in that clip, unfortunately.
	You don't need bombs.
	You just shoot the gun in the air.
	So, did you read the description of his...
	First, he was shot.
	They had this gory description of how he died.
	As if anybody's there taking notes.
	They shot him in the legs first.
	First, he was shot in the legs.
	Shot in the legs, I guess.
	Then he had to limp off to a tunnel where they shot him.
	Like a rat.
	Yay!
	There was a great clip, I was actually waiting until 9 o'clock, because I saw it live on CNN, where Lucifer is waiting for an interview in Afghanistan, and they're already rolling the camera, and someone hands her a Blackberry, and she goes, Wow!
	Just confirmed!
	They got Gaddafi!
	And she's like, moist!
	She's just like, melting away!
	On her chair.
	It was beautiful.
	Unfortunately, maybe CNN has put it up, because it was like exclusive CNN footage.
	She was so happy.
	Everyone's just like, you know, instead of, how about a little, if it is true, you know, that we killed another world leader, you know, and of course the U.S. wants to take, you know, some responsibility for it.
	Hey, hey, hey, you know, we did bomb, you know, we shot some bombs.
	It was our jet.
	It was our jet.
	Come on, eh?
	Hey, hey, hey, give us some props here.
	It's not, you know, how about some like, you know, well, we're really sorry that it's come to, you know, whatever, just play the script out.
	But no, no, it's like, yeah, we're going to celebrate.
	John McCain, yeah, I got my buddies from Coca-Cola.
	Yeah, we're all going to, it's going to be great.
	And by the way, let me read you from the Reuters report and tell me why something here just doesn't make any sense.
	Megta told Reuters earlier that Gaddafi, who was in his late 60s, was captured and wounded in both legs at dawn on Thursday as he tried to flee in a convoy which NATO warplanes attacked.
	I thought it was supposed to be a no-fly zone, by the way.
	He said that he had been...
	He said, the reporter, said he'd been taken away by an ambulance.
	An NTC fighter in Surt said he had seen Gaddafi shot after he was cornered and captured in a tunnel near a roadway.
	Does this...
	First, he's like with a group of people in a convoy.
	Then he's shot, and then an ambulance gets him and takes him somewhere.
	And then the next thing you know, he's in a tunnel by himself, apparently.
	I mean, this whole thing is just...
	Why do they give us these reports that are so sketchy?
	Well, because of the whole...
	Who knows?
	I mean, these guys...
	Well, listen to Hillary.
	Here's the CNN clip from this morning where she's told about Gaddafi.
	Listen to this.
	She's looking at the blackberry.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	I'm moist.
	Unconfirmed.
	Yeah.
	Unconfirmed reports about Gaddafi being captured.
	Unconfirmed.
	Unconfirmed.
	Yeah.
	We've had too many.
	We've had a bunch of those before.
	We've had, you know, have had him captured a couple of times.
	Yeah.
	A couple of times.
	But I'm moist regardless.
	Yeah.
	Douchebagette.
	You should see her face, though.
	It's pretty outrageous.
	Was she surprised, or was she...
	No, it's almost like, you know, she knew this was going to happen.
	Kind of like, oh, today was the day?
	How come no one sent me the memo?
	Yeah.
	How come I'm not in the loop on this?
	How come I didn't get the memo before?
	I have to read this off of Dan Blackberry?
	Please, people.
	Get it together.
	Yeah.
	I mean, we have really no other analysis other than Sarkozy benefits.
	So how many days has it been?
	Let me see.
	It is U.S. policy that Gaddafi needs to go.
	But let me emphasize that we...
	We anticipate this transition to take place in a matter of days and not a matter of weeks.
	Well, I think it's been 213 days, 14 days, something like that.
	Well, that's days.
	It's a lot of days.
	It's not weeks, that's for sure.
	He was implying it was going to take a couple of days.
	And we still don't really, really know.
	We still don't know what's going on.
	We've got these maniacs now building floats with guns on the back.
	For the parade.
	I have to say, I really like...
	We've played clips of him before.
	I really like the Libyan Transitional National Council Info Minister.
	That guy's pretty funny.
	He looks like he could be German, you know, like a big, big fat beer belly and a shirt unbuttoned, you know, a far cry from what our spokeshole for the White House looks like.
	And that guy, he's funny.
	I like him.
	His English is pretty good.
	And he's just like, he doesn't say anything, but he's entertaining to watch and to listen to.
	You'll be seeing him a lot more in the future.
	So we'll see.
	We'll see what happens, what the next moves are.
	And it's really weird because there were all kinds of reports that Gaddafi had 10,000 troops coming up from other countries in Africa.
	And, of course, we know that it was very, very bloody what was going on, certainly in CERT, but also in Tripoli.
	And it looked like the Gaddafi loyalists...
	As they're known, i.e.
	the sovereign people of the nation who didn't want this happening in the first place were striking back.
	And, well, you know, Sarkozy needed a win.
	He got his win.
	Obama certainly could use a win.
	He got his win.
	And let's not forget that Lucifer is leaving.
	And it's nice for her to go out on a high as well to have a win.
	You know, she's leaving at the end of this presidency.
	And would you like to hear her lie for about a minute and a half?
	Oh, I love listening to her.
	Okay, so she's interviewed by some other hot chick from, I don't know which station, and it's about her leaving.
	Now Clinton seems ready to step out of the spot.
	Good morning, America.
	Wait, where's Ann Curry?
	Yeah, she's the Today Show.
	No, Ann Curry's Today Show.
	What do you think life will be like when, after 20 years in politics, it'll be you and the former president at home, sitting around?
	What?
	Clinton doesn't even know where his house is.
	She's got this big grin as this question is being asked.
	You're like, really?
	I'm going to sit around with that?
	Yeah, I'm going to be sitting around cooking marshmallows.
	With that douchebag?
	I don't think so.
	I can't wait.
	That'll be great.
	I can't wait.
	I mean, obviously we're going to be very active, but it is something that I'm really looking forward to enjoying.
	When I get to go home on the weekends, which is not often enough, it's just great to be doing as little as possible.
	It's great to be around Bill.
	I just love it.
	He's so much fun.
	It's great.
	And this whole interview was chopped, by the way.
	Completely chopped.
	I think, you know, after this 20 years, that'll be very welcome.
	One title I know you seek to have one of these days is Grandmother.
	Yes, you figured that out.
	She says, yes, you figured that out.
	I don't quite understand.
	Something must have happened beforehand, before the interview, because her answer is kind of a non-sequitur.
	But I noticed that Chelsea has been doing more events.
	We saw her a couple of weeks ago doing an event with you.
	Do you think she has the Clinton bug for politics?
	I don't know.
	I don't have any reason to believe that.
	I think she does have the public service bug.
	Hold on.
	Lie.
	We know from our inside information, from our makeup artist, that they are now gearing her up.
	And they're getting her ready for public office.
	And they're trying to find funding and getting people on board, right?
	Yep.
	So for her to say no.
	But she has the help people bug.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	What is she going to be?
	Ambassador to Haiti?
	That seems to be in our DNA. Will you run for president in 2016?
	No.
	No.
	You know, Savannah, I'm very privileged to have had the opportunity to...
	No, she's running in 2012.
	Yeah, exactly.
	No, she's not going to run in 2012.
	She's not.
	Serve my country.
	And I am really old-fashioned, I feel like.
	I've made my contribution.
	I've done the best I can.
	But now, you know, I want to try some other things.
	Yeah, like spending all...
	All the money I stole.
	I want to get back to writing and maybe some teaching, working on women and girls around the world.
	Secretary.
	I want to get back to writing.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Just take the clip working on women and girls around the world.
	Yeah.
	Hello?
	I know, I know.
	I want to be.
	I can't wait to be working on women and girls around the world.
	Around the world.
	I'm really old-fashioned, I feel like.
	I made my contribution.
	I've done the best I can.
	But now, you know, I want to try some other things.
	I want to get back to writing and maybe some teaching, working on women and girls around the world.
	That's bad, John.
	I can't wait to start working on women and girls around the world.
	Secretary Clinton, politics is in your blood.
	People will not believe that you are closing the...
	Did you hear that laugh she made?
	...the door and locking it on running for office ever again.
	Well, you know, they'll have to just watch and wait.
	I have made my contribution.
	I'm very grateful I've had a chance to serve, but I think it's time for others to step up.
	Others need to step up.
	Step up.
	I've stepped up.
	I'm going to work on girls and women around the world now.
	I'm going to work on girls and women.
	That is a weird way of saying it, I have to admit.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's definitely strange.
	It's code.
	Yeah, uh-huh.
	Yeah, it's definitely code.
	You know, I'm surprised she doesn't mouth the words, call me, and hold her hand up to her ear.
	Make that phone gesture.
	Friend me on Facebook.
	Yeah, call me.
	Call me if you want to be worked on.
	Let's work on some of our executive producers for today, John.
	We're a little short today, but we do have one major contributor.
	Let me guess.
	The Baron comes in again.
	Comes in with the 1-1-1-1-1.
	Why don't we just call this the No Agenda Show for Baron Von Pelsmacher.
	The Von Pelsmacher Show.
	Yeah, really.
	Yes.
	He says he's sorry.
	He's always a few weeks behind.
	Just got to the episode where Adam talks about his impending dental needs.
	I'm not a doctor, and socialized medicine works pretty much like a charm here, but the costs there seem like a rip-off to me.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	In any case, I guess in the Cosmic Karma scheme, an additional donation towards offsetting these costs can only help us both.
	Really enjoy listening to the podcast in these times of turmoil, both globally and personally.
	For as long as I can afford to support your show, I will do my best.
	If the amount qualifies, please hand out the knight damehood to whomever you seem fit to bestow it upon amongst the group of donors who would be honored by it.
	We'll work on something in that regard.
	In the morning, and adios mofos, Baron von Pelsmacher.
	So let me ask you a question.
	Do you think it's coincidence that Baron von Pelsmacher's being in Belgium.
	Do you think it's coincidence that after they bailed out the Belgian Dexia Bank that all of a sudden he comes up with some cash?
	He probably got to take some money out of the bank instead of being told to go home.
	Well, maybe he runs the bank.
	I don't know.
	He's a true Baron.
	Yeah, well, he is the Baron.
	He probably owns the bank technically if our world order was put into play.
	He does own it, doesn't he?
	Yeah.
	And then we have another associate executive producer and member of the 349 Club, sole member from Accra, Ghana, West Africa, Dean Bertram.
	Hello, John and Adam, in the morning to you from Gitmo Nation, Pallava Sauce.
	Huh.
	I'm going to have to look that up now.
	What is that?
	I don't know.
	I'm going to find out.
	I've been listening to the podcast since show 312 after hearing Adam interviewed by Maynard on the Skeptic Zone.
	I quickly decided not to be a boner and give the No Agenda show some support.
	Your four plus hours per week not only fills up my time stuck in traffic, but makes it enjoyable.
	I now watch world events unfold in the news and wonder, what the hell will John and Adam say about this?
	It is...
	That's all we do.
	I may not agree with everything Adam says.
	Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
	And sometimes I just have to swear out loud, but mostly I get to laugh out loud, so I reckon that's a pretty good deal.
	So thank you both very much with this donation, 349.
	I believe it reached my knighthood and now can be officially de-douched.
	Absolutely.
	You've been de-douched.
	Keep up the good work, and I hope many more years before the drones eventually find you.
	And those are our two executive producers and sponsors for today's show.
	I want to thank them both.
	Remind everybody else, then go to NoAgendaShow.com, Dvorak.org, slash NA, ChannelDvorak.com, slash NA, and NoAgendaNation.com, where apparently now they've run out of...
	They're reordering some slave T-shirts, but get this...
	Got a big order from North Korea.
	Wait a minute, we got an order from North Korea?
	Yeah.
	Really?
	Eric did, from slave t-shirts.
	Apparently, he had to do some research because he can't figure out why anybody in North Korea is listening to this show.
	But it seems as if the university there does have internet connectivity.
	Really?
	And some of these guys have ordered slave t-shirts.
	I love it!
	So, what is a landmark in North Korea?
	What landmark is there?
	Is there like something recognizable?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, there's statues of Kim Jong-il and his dad all over the place.
	What we need is we need a picture of a couple of North Korean college kids with their slave t-shirts on in front of a statue of Kim Jong-il.
	And my advice, wear sunglasses.
	Yeah, a hood.
	A plastic bag.
	Paper bag.
	Paper bag over your head.
	And I'll send it to my Uncle Don.
	He'll get a kick out of it.
	I just think it's hilarious.
	And, of course, it revitalizes my interest in visiting the place.
	Yeah.
	But the...
	So anyway, so he had to package them, you know, because the State Department has restrictions, and so they're packaged as humanitarian.
	It's humanitarian aid.
	It is humanitarian.
	They're warmers.
	It's some sort of chest warmer.
	Oh, it's...
	I know what it is.
	It's like...
	I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
	We're just saying it's blankets.
	Water.
	Blankets and water.
	Anyway, so that's a breakthrough.
	That is.
	That compensates for the donation levels.
	That just warms my heart.
	Hello, North Korea!
	Apparently, there's a lot of slave shirts going into Africa.
	Which is kind of ironic.
	It wouldn't.
	Yeah, really.
	Where do our shirts come from?
	Are they making like a big round robin?
	He doesn't say.
	They come from Ghana.
	Bertram actually runs the facility.
	I love that.
	Could you have ever imagined in your wildest dreams that we would one day have a show that people in North Korea would listen to and would want to have buy a slave shirt affiliated with our show?
	That is pretty awesome.
	I'm vibing on that.
	I was taken aback.
	That's very nice.
	Well, thank you, of course, and everyone else.
	I need to program your brain for a second here.
	There's a couple of PR initiatives, people always trying to help us out.
	Some of them do that by forwarding domain names to noagendashow.com.
	We can also find our donation link.
	Here's just a couple of them, which you can all find at domains.nashownotes.com.
	If you ever have an idea of one of these domains, by the way, you can easily find out who has registered it, and you can send them a note, and then I'm sure they'll be willing to help set up a project.
	Distractionoftheweek.com.
	Week spelled W-E-A-K. I thought it was interesting.
	Well, that's a very good pun.
	I like it.
	Play on words.
	This is Tim in San Diego, who is also the proud owner of KillingBrownPeople.com and WoodInTheMorning.com.
	That show has not yet started yet.
	TheHumanMicrophone.com.
	.net and.org, now forwarding to our show.
	DroneDeath.com.
	And now forwarding to our show!
	Yeah.
	DroneDeath.com, as well as DroneDeath.us and DroneDeath.info.
	GagaClinton.com I don't know if we'll ever be able to use this again, but you never know.
	It might crop up in the future.
	We're Lady Gaga shills for either Hillary or Bill Clinton in the future.
	Now, remember we were talking about the guys who were going into Walmart and were doing all kinds of crazy stuff on the intercoms?
	And we talked about we needed some domain names that could be advertised on websites that would then send people to no agenda show?
	So what if you came across a banner that said, attention everyone, you could win season one of Jersey Shore on Blu-ray, just visit walmartprizes.com to enter.
	Yeah, it's called fraud.
	I like it.
	I like it.
	We also have WalgreensGiftCards.com, McDonald'sPrizes.com.
	So, I say start making your banners now.
	That's a great idea.
	Oh, man!
	I can get a McDonald's gift card!
	Quick!
	Hey!
	What's this?
	Hey, what's this, man?
	This is a gyp.
	A gyp.
	All it's got is this stupid player.
	Hey.
	Hey.
	Hey, that sounds kind of good.
	Hey, man.
	Those guys are funny.
	Those are some of the Walmart domains.
	LikeGoodHumanResources.com, forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com, WalmartSlave.com.
	I don't think a lot of people will click on that banner, but you never know.
	OccupyWalgreens.com, HijackOccupy.com, and we've got everything.
	How about this one?
	I can't believe we missed it.
	LoneDroneSilver.us.
	That's a good one.
	And finally, LipitorSlave.com.
	All beautiful domain names.
	It's a great PR initiative.
	We appreciate that, as well as our executive producers for today, Dean Bertram and Baron Staphen von Pelsmachers from the Barony of Belgium.
	We highly appreciate you keeping our show on the air, certainly getting us through the next couple of days.
	Everyone else, you do have a mission.
	It's propagating the well-known formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	New.
	World.
	Order.
	Say it with me now in North Korea.
	Shut up, snake.
	You know, yesterday for my big book show, I interviewed Jonathan Kaye, who is, and this is for the No Agenda Book Club people.
	He works for the National Post up there in Canada.
	And he's also a freelance journalist for such stellar publications as Newsweek and Time.
	And he has written a book which is called Living Among the Truthers.
	And of course, this is a total setup for my buddy here who books these interviews.
	Because this guy is like the anti-conspiracy theorist authority.
	Oh, that's great!
	You know why?
	Why?
	Why?
	Because now somebody can finally, I mean I've been waiting and waiting, to explain why World Trade Center 7 just fell down like for no good reason.
	Well, so the title of the book is Among the Truthers.
	Hold on.
	Let me just get you the subtitle.
	A Journey Through America's Growing Conspiracist Underground.
	It's not underground?
	I guess.
	And what he doesn't do is actually refute any of the theories, certainly not WTC7, etc.
	But the whole book is basically, if you are a conspiracy theorist, and he sections it off into a number of different kinds, You're like the failed historian.
	You're the wanker.
	The alternate history guy.
	Yeah, the failed historian.
	You're the clinically insane, and I actually kind of fit in that category.
	Yeah, we've all known that.
	Along with crank.
	Crank, it's good.
	But basically, crank.
	That's a word we don't use enough anymore.
	We don't use the word crank enough.
	The guy's a crank.
	But basically, we're all anti-Semites.
	That's the whole story of the book.
	And it's all based upon this Prophets of the Elders of Zion.
	And so I didn't really confront the guy too much.
	Oh, you wimp.
	No, I mean, I wanted to draw him out.
	Out of my house.
	Well, it was via Skype, so he was in Toronto.
	I couldn't really kick him out of the Skype.
	But, you know, I did, and I'll put this up on the stream, and I'll put a link to it after I've spun it all out of the camera.
	It's a video interview, but I'll put the audio up as well.
	And I say, you know, and anyhow, it's like, you know, video is really dangerous.
	Basically, it's like, internet dangerous.
	Really, really bad.
	Internet bad, because the video is really, really bad.
	And I say, well, don't you think that Hillary's techno experts are misusing that?
	The guy...
	Yeah, but there's professionals.
	That's different.
	When professionals are doing it, it's okay.
	Oh, so that's good for us, then.
	We're professionals.
	Yeah, well, there you go.
	It's a matter of...
	So how about...
	Let's talk about new conspiracy theories, like Libya.
	Are we there for oil?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	The United Nations, they just stumbled on this.
	He literally said like five times.
	You know, like Obama, he just stumbled into it.
	You know, it's like, what are we going to do?
	He just tripped and stumbled.
	Oh, so everything's just a big, giant accident.
	Yeah, it's a big accident.
	Nobody plans anything in this world of ours.
	So then, you know, I started looking at this guy's history.
	He's a member of a think tank, the Foundation for Defending Democracies.
	Which is basically, you know, they have Project Syria.
	I mean, these guys are all about the techno experts.
	Oh, so he's basically a...
	Total shill.
	Disinformation specialist.
	Total, total, total.
	What's the name of this think tank?
	The FDD, Foundation for Defending Democracies.
	And it's a whole bunch of...
	When you look at the board of directors, it's a whole bunch of military guys and, you know, CFR and all that.
	And...
	You know, it's just...
	It's a good book to read.
	I did learn one thing.
	That conspiracy theories are really only bought into by men.
	You have a lot of women listeners.
	Well, I'm not talking about our show.
	We're not mentioned in the book, I might add.
	So we're not conspiracy theorists.
	No, I don't feel attacked at all.
	You say what you want.
	We're media deconstructionists.
	We're media arsonists.
	I think deconstructionists are a little more positive.
	But anyway, go on.
	Assassins.
	But it's good to read the book.
	I would say read this book because then you can understand.
	So what did you learn?
	You learned that there's no women involved.
	This is interesting because the last time I was accosted on the street by a truther, It was a pretty girl in San Francisco handing out DVDs along with a crowd of people that were watching in a small circle with a bunch of signs saying, you know, truth be 9-11 truth.
	And she hands me a DVD. I got into a chat with her and she was a female.
	I don't know what they're talking about.
	There's two or three of them in the group.
	Yeah, two or three.
	But what I learned...
	Out of five.
	I mean, come on.
	What I learned was at the end of the day, we're all anti-Semites.
	That's what I learned.
	And that's a very dangerous precedent for these guys to be pursuing.
	It's the same anti-Semitism thing that Fox and Hannity and these guys are throwing at the Occupy people now.
	Oh yeah.
	Now, before we get into that, just a WTC7 reference.
	This just came in this morning, according to the Wall Street Journal.
	The CIA... Has avoided a potential showdown with Manhattan federal judge.
	Judge Alvin Hellerstein declined yesterday to find the CIA in contempt for destroying videotapes of its interrogations of September 11th detainees, concluding that it would serve no beneficial purpose to penalize the agency.
	Yeah.
	WTC7 won't go away.
	That's okay.
	That's not a problem.
	You can just destroy whatever evidence you want.
	And you don't need to be punished.
	It wouldn't be beneficial.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Those are the guys with the drones, the judge is thinking.
	They're running the drone program.
	I'm not going to mess with those guys.
	I don't think you want to mess with them.
	No, I don't think so.
	I guess that kind of says it all.
	I had a different Geithner clip, actually.
	I liked your little whining, Timmy.
	I'm not a big fan of Rand Paul.
	I can't exactly put my finger on it.
	Why?
	He's kind of creepy.
	I don't know what it is.
	He doesn't have at all the appeal Rand Paul has to me.
	I saw this, what you're going to play.
	I don't know.
	I didn't think there was much there.
	You're talking about the hearings that were going on, small business hearings with the Geithner?
	Yeah, about the interest rates?
	Oh, yeah.
	Paul went off the...
	Oh, that was the worst.
	I mean, I had that...
	It was crazy.
	Ron Paul's interpretation of how interest rates work...
	Rand Paul.
	Not Ron Paul.
	Rand Paul.
	I mean, Rand Paul.
	I'm sorry.
	Rand Paul's...
	Well, this is important.
	The description of how interest rates work is just wrong.
	Well, this is important because I specifically got this clip because I wanted to ask you about the truth behind this.
	What do you think caused the housing crisis?
	I guess to begin with, what do you think caused the housing bubble from 201 to 207?
	Without being too technical about it, we had a long period of very low rates.
	And we had a terrible erosion underwriting standards.
	And those two things together caused a huge overinvestment in housing.
	And Americans were allowed to borrow a huge amount relative to income in their housing value.
	And when the storm hit, you know, things came crashing down.
	I agree.
	Who do you think in the country had more influence over interest rates than anybody else?
	Can you think of a body maybe in New York?
	It has a lot of bankers involved with it.
	You want me to say the New York Federal Reserve?
	Yeah, maybe the New York Fed, maybe the Open Market Committee.
	You were right that I was Vice Chairman of the FOMC and I was President of the New York Fed for a five-year period, and I started in the fall of 2003.
	But I guess here's my point.
	I hate to interrupt you, but I've got a really short time.
	You know, interest rates I see as sort of the price of money, and they should fluctuate somewhat based on the demand for the money.
	If government controls the interest rates and you obscure the market forces, as an economy heats up, people are bidding for money, the price of the money goes up, and you get a tamponading effect and a slowing down of the economy.
	If you don't do that, if interest rates are not allowed to rise, the economy keeps going, but it's an illusion.
	That illusion is a bubble and it bursts.
	So, what Rand Paul is saying is that because of monetary policy, and it goes on a little bit further, and he goes back, tit for tat with Timmy.
	Timmy, tit for tat with Timmy.
	Rand Paul is asserting that because the Federal Reserve sets interest rates, they are responsible for the long-term interest rate and therefore for the financial collapse.
	And I think that there's a lot of responsible parties for the financial collapse.
	But could you explain...
	I'm not going to be able to explain it in any details.
	People can look a lot of this up and see what interest rates are the way they are.
	But first of all, there's a couple of things.
	The Fed only sets a short-term interest rate.
	Long-term bonds are set by the market, which is determined by market conditions.
	Like right now, for example, they're low because there's such demand for U.S. treasuries around the world, despite what they're telling you.
	Because it's one of the safe havens and they know the US government will blow up some other country to make sure those bonds are paid off.
	And so there's a strong demand for American treasuries from everybody.
	And so that is a market condition thing.
	Now the...
	Fed does buy and sell these things themselves to try to, because they have one thing in mind.
	They don't really care about bubbles or anything else.
	Their whole job supposedly is to keep inflation from ravaging the country, and they do it any way they can.
	and they use interest rates as the one tool which seems to actually work.
	And before we had the Fed, even though I'm not defending them because I do think they need auditing and they need somebody to look into why they're giving money to foreign countries and all the rest of it.
	So I think there's some corruption there that needs to be looked at.
	But before we had the Fed and you had just a pure system where interest rates fluctuated just on their own under whatever circumstances, it would be pre-1903 or whenever.
	You had a stock market crash about once every two years.
	The cycle of crashes was extremely high and it was very difficult to recover from.
	This has actually worked pretty well when we had the system has worked pretty well until they pulled out Glass-Steagall and all these protections, the public protections that kept the banks under control.
	But once that was eliminated by both Clinton and Bush, they just opened the gates of hell to the situation that we're in.
	And I think Rand Paul is being disingenuous with this argument.
	And I will point out that Ron Paul, who released his plan to reduce the deficit by $1 trillion in one year.
	I thought that was a great plan, by the way.
	Yeah, I liked it, too.
	And he doesn't say, in fact, he explicitly says, I'm not going to remove the Federal Reserve, but they have to be audited.
	We have to figure out what's going on there.
	I thought, by the way, I did watch the American Gladiators.
	I'm sorry, the Republican debate, my goodness, that thing is, what a show.
	Hey, I'm telling you, this was in the paper, the New York Times, they were discussing it, and it seems to be all over the place.
	These Republican debates are getting such great ratings.
	Ratings, yeah, fantastic.
	Anderson Pooper, you know, he's up there, he's doing a job.
	All of them are getting good ratings, so now they're going to have 12 more of them, it seems.
	Because it's a bonanza!
	And the way they set it up, and it's like big, very lights, and here are the contestants!
	Bring them on out, Anderson Pooper!
	And it's just great, and they're funny, and they've got, you know, they're like touching, and getting into it, and getting angry, and then we've got Michelle Bachmann dressed like Hitler Light with her little white sailor outfit on.
	It was beautiful!
	I really, I really loved it.
	What I loved even more, On CNN. Did you see before the debate started?
	No, I missed it before.
	Oh, no.
	Before the debate, Erin Burnett, CFR, shill extraordinaire, the douche, douche, who disappointed me.
	I was so in love with her until I found out that she's a shill.
	She was out, you know, just like the Academy Awards, what they'll do is they'll be outside the venue in kind of like a glass box, right?
	And they're talking about the red carpet and everything.
	Do they have a little background and they do a photo shoot?
	Yeah, oh no.
	CNN logos all over the place?
	I'm sure they had that.
	I haven't seen that yet, but they did have the wardrobe conversation.
	But of course, Occupy Las Vegas was there, and Aaron is like, is there smoke coming out of your ears?
	Listen.
	We are minutes away from tonight's debate.
	You can see the countdown clock people put up.
	And you also can probably hear the protesters.
	They have been various people protesting.
	These people are singing, banks got bailed out, we got sold out.
	There have been other protest groups here today protesting immigration, protesting gay rights, protesting a variety of issues.
	These obviously are...
	There's racism protesting, and this obviously is protesting about the banks and taxation.
	Well, let's bring in Wolf Blitzer, anchor of CNN's Situation Room, John.
	I love this.
	Listen to this.
	They're all smiling like, yeah, it's great.
	Hey, shut up!
	I can't hear myself!
	All right, good to see all of you.
	And we're seeing the American system in full swing on all sides.
	Occupy Las Vegas, that's what they're doing here.
	That's right.
	They're protesting, which is not right.
	That's right, Occupy Las Vegas is what they're doing.
	They don't show a single shot of the crowd, by the way, of the protesters.
	You just hear a bunch of people yelling, we got sold out.
	They didn't expect this and didn't know to put themselves in soundproof booths or something.
	It's very distracting.
	It's terrible.
	It's ruining the pre-show.
	Yeah, it's ruining the pre-show.
	This is no good.
	Will you guys stop that?
	You're ruining the pre-show.
	I'm surprised somebody didn't do that.
	She had a hot red dresser.
	It was a guy that sneaks in behind and he's got a sign.
	Yeah, with a sign.
	He's jumping up and down and pointing and talking on the cell phone.
	Yeah.
	So, did you clip anything from the debate?
	You know, I have the whole debate.
	I still have it.
	I watched it twice.
	And I could, you know, it wasn't tight enough that I could get a good clip.
	If you got something, you know, I'll listen to it.
	Well, there were just a couple things.
	So I didn't clip this, but I loved, I absolutely loved Bachman going, Anderson, Anderson, Anderson, Anderson.
	Ooh, Anderson, call on me, Anderson, Anderson, Anderson, Anderson.
	And Santelli was also waving his hand, like holding up his hand like he's in the third grade asking to be called on by the teacher.
	I did like, Ron Paul had a pwning moment, which I really liked, where it's about this hostage that was negotiated between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, I believe.
	This hostage they got back and they released...
	Right, that soldier.
	Yeah, and then Israel released 400 prisoners.
	And, you know, it was a basic...
	Everyone's like, we will not negotiate!
	We will not negotiate!
	We will not negotiate with...
	We will not negotiate!
	Matter of fact, I don't want to make a statement.
	I want to ask a question.
	Are you all willing to condemn Ronald Reagan for changing weapons for hostages out of Iran?
	We all know that was done.
	You know what?
	That's not...
	Iran was a sovereign.
	I like it.
	Iran was like, what?
	What?
	What?
	You want a piece of meat, bitch?
	What?
	What?
	The country was not a terrorist organization, number one.
	That is a great comeback.
	What?
	They're not terrorists?
	They're not a terrorist organization.
	Then Ron Paul comes out swinging again.
	Good friends.
	They're not a good friend.
	Yeah, they were good friends.
	They're a sovereign country, just like the Palestinian Authority is not the good friends of Israel.
	He negotiated for hostages.
	There's a role.
	We negotiate with hostages.
	It was with the Soviet Union.
	Now it's like, we do it all the time.
	It's okay.
	It's okay.
	Iran or Soviet Union, we do it all the time.
	We talk about it.
	Shut up, Paul.
	We've negotiated with hostages, depending on the scale, but there's a difference between releasing terrorists from Guantanamo Bay in response to a terrorist demand.
	They're all suspect.
	They're not.
	I love it.
	They're not terrorists.
	They're suspects.
	They haven't even had a trial yet.
	Terrorists, yep.
	Then negotiating with other countries where we may have an interest, and that is certainly a proper role for the United States.
	And then the stupid audience is like, huh?
	What?
	The audience is great.
	What?
	What?
	No, calls make nothing but sense.
	He makes a lot of good points, and then Santelli is such a stooge.
	And you know, that guy, why is he even running?
	By the way, he has a broken nose that's bent to his...
	Right, which means that somebody hit him with a right hook in the nose at some point when he was probably in high school.
	A right hook of frothy mix.
	Shut up!
	Boom!
	And he never had the nose fixed, so he has an asymmetrical face, which nobody will ever vote for, a president with an asymmetrical face, let me tell you right now.
	In today's world, it doesn't happen.
	It's hard to Photoshop that.
	He's going to take a lot more in Photoshop.
	He needs to have gone to the doctor some years ago and had it re-broken and fixed.
	I don't know.
	Does he think it's attractive?
	Anyway, I digress.
	Yeah, you do.
	However, one very important highlight, and then I'll get off these debates, but a very important highlight, John.
	There's been an upset in Hollywood.
	Have you heard about this?
	Does it have to do with Lindsay Lohan?
	No.
	Well, no, but there's an upset in Hollywood.
	The showrunners are like, oh my god, what a brilliant idea.
	We have a new host for...
	Oh, shoot.
	I got the wrong one.
	Big lead up.
	Fail.
	Maybe I could edit it and no one would know.
	Here, I'll try it again.
	You don't edit.
	No one will notice.
	We have a new host for Win, Lose, or Drone!
	That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
	Let's bring him on down.
	The brand new host of our game show, Win, Lose, or Drone.
	Please say hello to Rick Curry.
	There's a better way, and that's to build a virtual defense zone, if you will, along that border, which is not unlike what Herman's talking about.
	And you can do it with strategic fencing in the obvious places where it matters.
	But the way you really stop the activities along that border that are illegal, whether it's the drug cartels or whether it's bringing in illegal weapons or whether it's illegal immigrants that are coming in, is to put boots on the ground.
	I will tell you, Herman, you put a lot of boots on the ground.
	You use predator drones that are being trained right up here at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada to use that real-time information to give those boots on the ground that information, and they can instantly move to those areas.
	And shoot a drone!
	Shoot a hellfire missile up their butts!
	Get those drones in the air!
	Yeah, that's the guy I want for president.
	Please.
	Put drones, put some drones over there.
	Real-time information.
	Whoever gets elected is going to do that anyway.
	But this guy, he's a terrible, he's blown every single debate.
	And then he went after, every time he brought up any point about Romney, he'd go on about his hiring illegals.
	Which Romney explained, I thought, adequately, although somebody did call Romney out John, they're all douchebags.
	This whole thing is exactly what you said.
	It is a ratings bonanza.
	Who cares?
	It's not about the next president.
	Let me just explain this one because I think it's kind of interesting.
	The guy points out that Romney didn't give a shit really about hiring illegals.
	He says, look, I can't have illegals working for me.
	I'm running for president.
	It's all image.
	Yeah, that was kind of funny.
	Hey, you can't have that.
	Well, the word is out, though.
	Wall Street has officially run away from supporting Barack Obama's presidency, and they're now pouring all their money into Mitt Romney.
	So, if our assertions are correct, the way it usually works...
	The United States of Gitmo Nation, we elect our presidents the same way we buy our soap powder.
	We'll be advertised to, we'll be marketed, and of course the networks will give more time to Mitt Romney.
	Please notice that they put him in the middle every single time.
	He was dead center.
	Seven people, one guy in the middle.
	Three on each side, one guy in the middle.
	And what you're going to see is you'll see Mitt Romney will show up on Piers Morgan.
	He'll get more airtime.
	This is how it works.
	It's very subtle.
	It's a scam.
	And most people are stupid.
	Comments about ten shows ago or more, I guess it's even longer than that, about the fact that all these other guys are actually, they're not auditioning for president, they're all auditioning for vice president, and Herman Cain is obviously going, I think now, because Perry can't carry the load, and I think he's so annoying, I thought he'd be a good balance to the ticket, I am changing my prediction to Herman Cain as vice president.
	Hmm.
	Hmm.
	I don't know.
	Why?
	Who do you think?
	No, I have no idea.
	I don't think...
	I like the Romney-Perry combination.
	I think they'll choose...
	That's very reminiscent of Kennedy-Johnson.
	Yes.
	No, I think they'll probably choose...
	If they're not going to go with Perry, they'll choose someone else.
	Well, what is it?
	I think McCain would be the better balance because you got that sketchy black vote that is going to lockstep into...
	Here's the way I have my latest rationale.
	What do you mean the sketchy black vote?
	What the hell does that mean?
	The sketchy black vote.
	They're just going to lockstep vote for Obama.
	Sketchy black vote.
	That is so racist.
	It's not racist.
	It's a sketchy black vote.
	It's a vote that the Republicans can't count on, so it's sketchy.
	There's a lot of sketchy votes.
	We don't use that terminology, sketchy.
	I just don't like the word.
	Sounds weird.
	The point is that with Perry, they're guaranteed the evangelical vote, but...
	They're going to get the evangelical vote anyway, so they don't need Perry.
	The black vote is a huge voting bloc.
	If they could just squeeze a few of those guys to vote on the Republican ticket because of Herman Cain, it would be worth the effort.
	I think it's the Latino vote that counts.
	That was one of the main questions.
	It seems like that's the big deal.
	By the way, I was just reading today that the number one television primetime audience, the most desired primetime audience, Is young Latinos.
	They have 69% of the primetime desired audience.
	69%.
	That's who everyone's going after.
	Well, now, if that's true, and I will throw this name into the pot, not running for president, but a potentially great vice presidential candidate is Marco Rubio.
	I think Marco Rubio is the most presentable guy the Republicans have.
	Is he a Latino?
	Latino, yeah.
	Okay.
	He's out of Florida.
	Yeah.
	Extremely erudite.
	He's a classic conservative.
	And he plays well to the Latino audience in Florida.
	I mean, he could easily become a massive...
	He could be a vote-getter.
	So I just want people to understand who are listening to the show for the first time.
	This, of course, has nothing to do with policy and politics.
	It is all about the show.
	It's 100% about the show.
	It's a ratings bonanza.
	We want a great team in there so we can get more ratings.
	Just ratings, ratings, ratings.
	It's free content.
	Free!
	They have to spend money on the stupid housewives of Beverly Hills.
	They're a pain in the ass.
	You can't manage them jabronis.
	Free content.
	That's what we want.
	And nothing showed this more about how it works in America than on Morning Joe.
	Yeah, now Chuck Scarborough, who was a politician, he acts like he doesn't know anymore, but he knows how it works.
	Yeah, he's a representative from Connecticut, I think.
	Yes, and then Milika, is her name Milika?
	Brzezinski, daughter of Satan Brzezinski.
	She acts so stupid.
	But they're talking about Ron Paul, and it just comes out, and it's clear.
	It's clear.
	Shut up, slaves.
	It's clear.
	So yesterday, outside, we had the Ron Paul people.
	Oh, yeah.
	They're very nice.
	They're very nice.
	They're Ron Paul people.
	You know, they're cute.
	They're like kittens.
	Don't you think, John?
	They're Ron Paul people.
	Meow.
	They're very nice people.
	Yeah.
	They had signs.
	They had signs.
	They had Starbucks.
	That's sweet.
	Yeah, so sweet.
	Are they accusing you of?
	No, no, not me.
	They're accusing...
	What are they accusing you of?
	The media blacking out Ron Paul.
	Oh.
	Which leads to a very fascinating question.
	Guys, can you throw up the poll really quickly, see where Ron Paul is?
	Just the poll.
	You know, the thing that you just, like, those numbers you put up on the screen that no one really can account for.
	Just throw that up there, will you?
	Um...
	Mike, why is it that Ron Paul, I guess, is steady in most polls, 10%, 11%, 12%?
	He's usually in third place in New Hampshire.
	Here he's in fourth place.
	He's down at 8%.
	But they will complain that people like Michelle Bogman, Newt Gingrich, others who don't raise as much money as Ron Paul get more attention than Ron Paul.
	Why is that?
	Why is that?
	Why does Ron Paul receive less attention?
	Less attention.
	So, what is the true answer, John?
	Why does Ron Paul receive less attention?
	Well, the answer is they don't want any attention given to him because he's making good points that people will either allow them to vote for Ron Paul or they're going to transfer those good points and make their candidate follow these same ideas.
	He doesn't have a leading role.
	He was never cast.
	He's an extra.
	No, just call it what it is.
	He's an extra.
	It's actually a miracle that he's even in these things.
	He's an extra with the speaking part when the only benefit is he gets his SAG card.
	Everyone in America, with the exception of 8 to 11 percent of his most fervent followers, and they will always be with him, everyone else knows he is never going to be president of the United States.
	There you go.
	Meme alert.
	Everyone knows.
	Everyone knows.
	Say that.
	Take a peek at him.
	Take a peek at what he says.
	He's a smart guy.
	He's a good guy.
	He is so far out of the mainstream.
	This is a mainstream country.
	This is a middle-of-the-road country.
	It's not going to happen for Ron Paul.
	But everyone knows Herman Cain's not going to be president.
	He's on the cover of Newsweek.
	Everyone knows Michelle Bachman won't be president.
	Everyone knows Sarah Palin wasn't going to be president.
	Hasn't Ron Paul been around for a while?
	He's done it before.
	These people are new, so there's a novelty to Cain and Bachman.
	That's part of the problem he's proven before, that he can't get above a certain threshold.
	What does it say about the Republican feel that Herman Cain maintains a consistent 24 to 26 percent?
	Coming up.
	Everybody knows.
	He's not a player!
	He's not on board!
	He wasn't cast!
	He's a walk-on!
	He's just a walk-on on the show!
	He doesn't count!
	He's an extra!
	He gets per diem!
	Go away.
	The real screw-up is Perry was not a walk-on.
	He was cast.
	And he failed.
	Sometimes things are miscast.
	Who knew?
	Who hired this guy?
	It happens.
	It happens.
	Wow.
	It's sad.
	I agree with that.
	It's sad, though.
	I love the meme, though.
	Everybody in America knows.
	Just look at him.
	Look at him.
	Just look at him!
	He's not presidential material!
	He doesn't look right!
	He doesn't have the right thing!
	I remember when I was a kid growing up in Europe...
	People would always...
	There was a big joke about American politicians about the slick hair and the big...
	They would call it the McLean's white smile.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	This is how it works.
	We invented show business, and that's how we roll, bitches.
	It's a show.
	It's a show, it's a show, it's a show.
	And we've got to have the right people on the show.
	It's just like X Factor.
	And by the way, I'm pretty good at predicting X Factor candidates too.
	It's not always about the best singer.
	It's about who looks right.
	Who looks the part.
	Who tugs at your heart strings.
	That's what it's about.
	And it's sad.
	There you go.
	Just own up to it.
	You might as well play Herman Cain singing then.
	We can go out on that.
	Oh God.
	Oh God.
	If politics doesn't work out for Herman Cain, he can always sing.
	Turns out he just loves to break into song.
	Imagine there's no pizza.
	It's Herman Cain like you've never seen him before.
	That's hilarious.
	Oh, no, I did have one thing.
	Bachman.
	I did have one Bachman clip.
	It was just funny.
	Here's the woman who you...
	By the way, she is a necessary player in this scheme.
	In a way, she's kind of like the Alexis Carrington, but she changes roles a little bit.
	She's kind of like the wild card in the script, which is why she dressed up in her white little navy suit or whatever the hell that thing was.
	And she's supposed to come out with crazy stuff.
	Putting back on foreign aid is one thing.
	Being reimbursed by nations that we have liberated is another.
	We should look to Iraq and Libya to reimburse us for part of what we have done to liberate these nations.
	Now I need to add something.
	We need reimbursement.
	Look, I have a whole bunch of receipts here, Libya, and I'd like to get reimbursed for that.
	Uh, here's how we'll do it.
	Uh, we'll put the army on the ground.
	Don't worry, it's all good.
	It's just a reimbursement.
	It's okay.
	It's cool.
	The idiots.
	Really, really unbelievable idiots.
	Just, whoa.
	Anderson Pooper.
	Well, let's see what we got.
	Well, before, can I want a little, uh, intermezzo?
	Can you give me an intermezzo?
	A little light-hearted about Anderson Pooper.
	So Anderson also has this daytime talk show.
	I haven't seen it yet.
	Is it any good?
	I have no idea.
	Do you think I am too busy watching C-SPAN? I don't have time.
	Luckily, we have noage in the newsnetwork.com.
	People with an account send me stuff and post stuff up there.
	Here's Anderson on his daytime talk show explaining why his name is Anderson Pooper.
	I also wanted to know about, like, my own items.
	So we had a bunch of stuff in my office, my home, sent to the lab.
	What did we find?
	Well, it was interesting.
	So you had, for instance, your glasses, your phone, your camera bag.
	And overall, it was interesting.
	Like, for example, on the phone, they found fecal strep again, something that we can talk about on your phone.
	My beloved cell phone?
	You know all the times that I've asked about all that?
	Right.
	No more.
	There's fecal strep on my cell phone.
	Why do they let that stuff on the air?
	Well, where's he putting that phone anyway?
	And then turn it on vibrate!
	Fecal strep.
	It's a new game called Anderson Pooper IED. So you get to set him off via remote.
	It's ringing.
	You can yak away while I go tell this person to get lost.
	Okay.
	I don't know what to say.
	Let's listen to John talk on the phone.
	I usually just hang up.
	The power drill?
	Really?
	All right.
	All right.
	Here's something as a little intermezzo while John is talking on the phone.
	Sorry about that.
	Listen to this.
	On November 9th at approximately 2 p.m.
	Eastern, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will conduct a nationwide test of the emergency alert system.
	It will be heard on radio and seen on local cable and satellite TV. As the federal, state, tribal, territorial and local governments prepare for and test their capabilities, this event serves as a reminder that everyone should establish an emergency preparedness kit and emergency plan for themselves, their families, communities and businesses.
	Visit FEMA.gov for more information.
	I love that guy.
	That voice has been altered.
	Of course it has.
	This is an explanation of what the female will be.
	I can't even do it.
	No, of course, because it's been run through one of the programs that alters your voice.
	It's not a real voice.
	Nobody has that voice.
	It's going to be a real drill on November 9th.
	For the first time in our nation's history, it actually will be everywhere.
	I think you'll even get a text message.
	I'm not sure.
	From who?
	From the president.
	Or from Janet Napolitano.
	What's she doing with my number?
	Yeah.
	It's the emergency broadcast system.
	FEMA. FEMA running it.
	For the first time in the nation's history, we will be conducting a test of the emergency broadcasting system.
	That guy should do vagina ads.
	Does your vagina itch?
	Alright.
	Let's see what else we got.
	I found the thing with, we had a clip earlier with Geithner.
	Interesting.
	Brown, Scott Brown went after him.
	Who was that?
	Scott Brown is that male model that became the senator from Massachusetts that upset the balance of power in the Senate because the Democrats had 60 votes and they could have ramrodded anything through.
	Oh yeah, got it.
	They did absolutely nothing with all this power they had and so Massachusetts gave Kennedy's seat to this guy.
	Oh, right, right.
	A Republican.
	Right.
	So this is a little clip.
	This is part of a longer exposition.
	Geithner's trying to defend the fact that they tried to do these loans to small businesses and to the smaller banks, and only one out of ten small banks took them up because it was a disaster, and then they refused everybody the money and wouldn't say why, and Geithner says, well, because we didn't want to hurt their feelings or we're...
	We were liable if we said bad things about them, so we couldn't tell why we didn't get the loan.
	Which is bull crap, by the way.
	The government is not liable.
	It's the transparent Obama administration is what that is.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It was all part of this.
	And then they have a little back and forth with Brown.
	So right in the middle there's this thing where Geithner says, I don't know how many times, if you were in my shoes, if you were in my shoes, and I just thought this was amusing.
	I know I can't say this with comment.
	If you were in my shoes, you want to be very careful that we're using the taxpayers' monies carefully in this context.
	Judging the health of a bank is a complicated judgment.
	We were not in a position to do that.
	We had to rely on the supervisors to do that.
	You would have done the same if you were in my shoes.
	Now, the fact that not all banks are eligible should be no surprise, because again, we're an economy still facing a really tough economy, coming out of a worse financial crisis since the Great Depression.
	We have 7,000 community banks across the country, and a lot of those banks are still under pressure, and we're not going to meet the test of eligibility.
	But the reason why you've had a smaller yield than we expected...
	And the reason why this took some time is because we're careful to protect the taxpayers' resources.
	I know you said that.
	Thank you.
	And with all due respect, I don't think you can guess what I would do if I was in your face.
	No, I didn't mean to say I could.
	And because as I travel around my state and the country, contrary to what you said earlier, the number one thing that I find, yes, demand's a problem, but it's the lack of regulatory and tax certainty for...
	For every business in Massachusetts, that's the number one thing going away.
	There's this wet blanket over their efforts to create jobs because in the last year we've had 488 regulations deemed significant by the administration.
	What shoe size do you think Timmy has?
	Like eight?
	If you were in my shoes, they'd be killing you.
	Does he have a size eight?
	I got a size six.
	Can't be much bigger than that.
	Well, he still sounds like a kid, like the Leave it to Beaver Show kid.
	Timmy!
	Timmy!
	Meanwhile, of course, Landrieu, who I actually do like her, she's a Democrat from, I think, yeah, no, Louisiana.
	She chewed out the Republicans over the phraseologies that are being bandied about.
	And I think this is worth playing because I... It is kind of interesting how they use terminology just to kind of sway the electorate.
	Sorry, line of questioning has to be over.
	I've been very, very liberal and given a lot of latitude.
	This hearing is about the small business lending program.
	However, this is all important.
	I thank Senator Rubio.
	But as a supporter of raising the surcharge, I want to get one thing straight for the record.
	I don't, and the members of the Senate that are supporting...
	Is she hot?
	She's not unattractive, but she's kind of old.
	No.
	Raising taxes on families or individuals making over a million dollars is not the same, Senator, as raising taxes on millionaires.
	Millionaires are people that have a million dollars worth of assets.
	Many people have a million dollars worth of assets.
	Their income is only $100,000 or $200,000 or $50,000.
	It's not millionaires.
	It's individuals and families that have income of over a million dollars.
	So I just want to get that straight for the record.
	And I think it's important not to confuse the two because many, many Americans are millionaires.
	Many.
	And many of them have made their own millions.
	Contrary to belief, they haven't inherited it.
	As you and I know, we represent a lot of people who, through hard work, have assets over a million dollars.
	But the proposal, one of the proposals, is to raise taxes on income over a million.
	And the marginal rate at 45%, you could argue that, but it's...
	A portion over the first million.
	So the first million, they pay a certain rate.
	Over a million, they would pay a second rate.
	Is that your understanding?
	Yeah.
	I just want to be clear.
	The millionaire's tax is not my terminology.
	It's what I've heard the president say, millionaires and billionaires.
	I didn't make up the slogan.
	Well, the president has a different view.
	Maybe you have a different view.
	But for those of us supporting the tax, the one I'm speaking about, it's not a tax on million.
	No, I understand.
	It's actually a tax on income over a million.
	So I'm going to disagree with you, John.
	I think if she lost about 15 pounds...
	Oh, you didn't even listen to her!
	Of course I did.
	She lost...
	Yeah, she would be very...
	She has a very...
	She's a little chunky.
	She has a very cute smile.
	Yeah.
	She has a very...
	Yeah, she has a very...
	She has kind of like a V for Vendetta smile, actually.
	Which I like.
	I like her as a congressman.
	She's got dimpled cheeks.
	I think she does good work.
	She's got dimpled cheeks.
	Okay, okay.
	She's a hottie in the making.
	Well, she needs a little work.
	Needs a little work.
	They all need a little work.
	Get a consulting business going.
	Thank you.
	If the Curry Devorak Consulting Company were on this, she could be a contender.
	Give her a personal trainer.
	She could be a contender.
	Oh, sorry.
	Anyway, the funny thing, I clipped the rest of this away because right after she went on this, little Timmy Geithner was going, can I talk, can I talk, can I talk?
	He wanted to get his two cents in.
	It was embarrassing.
	The guy's ridiculous.
	In fact, I want you to play that earlier clip of Geithner going on about celebrations.
	Come on.
	I think that it's kind of ridiculous because we should celebrate what we want to celebrate.
	We shouldn't be told what we shouldn't by other people.
	No, we should be celebrating what we want to celebrate.
	That, of course, is from Occupy Wall Street.
	By the way, the new thing in Occupy Wall Street.
	Now, of course, let me reiterate, people are pissed off all over the world.
	This Occupy movement really started with the austerity measures in Greece.
	It has spread all over the world.
	The slaves are rising up, which, by the way, is pretty much what the elites want.
	They want unrest.
	It's great.
	Everyone's playing right into their cards.
	Police state is perfect.
	But the new thing in Hollywood is to get arrested as a celebrity.
	Oh, really?
	Yes, you have to be an Occupy Wall Street arrestee.
	And who's my other favorite hottie?
	Feminist author and activist Naomi Wolf is the latest high-profile person to be arrested at the Occupy Wall Street protest, which is now being rained on.
	Naomi Wolf, just anyone should look into this woman.
	She's a very pretty girl, but can you imagine having her at a dinner party?
	She would eat all the dinner.
	Well, besides that, she would bore everybody's script.
	Let me set the stage for you.
	First of all, she's Canadian.
	She's at the Huffington Post party where...
	Kim Kardashian received an award for business entrepreneur.
	Okay?
	Let me just set the stage.
	This is how serious this business is.
	And she's got her boobs are just like flowing out.
	She's got a tight dress on, which I like.
	I like women.
	Kardashian or wolf?
	Both.
	But in this case, it's Wolf.
	And she's Rubenesque.
	And she's very, very sexy.
	She's very appealing to me.
	I like her very much.
	Wait a minute.
	Let's get ten.
	Mickey's going to come in.
	Eight.
	Seven.
	So, she's cute.
	You watch.
	I find her so annoying.
	No, no, no.
	She needs gaffer tape on her spokeshole.
	No doubt about it.
	So her whole thing.
	She goes out and she purposely gets arrested.
	And then she uses some interesting words.
	Sexy words.
	Very sexy words.
	And she did this completely for her own benefit.
	And now she's the superstar of Occupy Wall Street.
	And she's pretending to be like a lawyer.
	And she studied the protest laws.
	Ugh!
	And Northeaster sweeping the area.
	Now is a woman taken into custody last night, author Naomi Wolf, also Josh Harkinson of Mother Jones Magazine.
	Thank you both for joining us.
	Thank you for having us.
	Naomi, let's go ahead and start with you.
	I was there last night at the Huffington Post Party and I was watching the protests and they seemed peaceful.
	But you were taken into arrest.
	What happened?
	Well, I was arrested while I was complying with the law and peacefully standing on a sidewalk.
	Very briefly, I studied protests and permits in New York City.
	John, have you not taken your course on protests and permits in New York City?
	Have you studied that lately?
	No, you know, I'm remiss.
	And so I understood that they had a right to be on the sidewalk peacefully.
	When I came out of the Huffington Post event, where I'd been a guest, I write for the Huffington Post.
	I write for the Huffington Post.
	You can see me there.
	For no money.
	I saw that the police had moved them far away from the entrance to the opposite side.
	I went and asked them why, and they said they were told they had no right to march where they had been.
	I knew that wasn't correct, so I checked with the people in charge.
	They said the permit actually did allow them to walk without obstructing the sidewalk.
	So I said, okay, everyone, I'm going to walk with my partner, Avram Ludwig, and anyone who wants to walk with us, please join us.
	We have a right to.
	It's legal.
	Her partner.
	Let me just point out it's partner, not boyfriend, not Fiona.
	Partner mendric?
	Partner, yeah, mendric, whatever.
	So we were walking peacefully back and forth, not obstructing anything, and suddenly a phalanx of like...
	A phalanx!
	I love that word!
	A phalanx?
	A phalanx, we have to...
	I mean, look, isn't a phalanx like a Roman formation of like a couple hundred people?
	A phalanx.
	Well, it was a phalanx.
	A great word because it sounds like phallus.
	It has a whole sexy thing to it.
	To you.
	Phalanx.
	Phalanx is like a wall of police, I think.
	A phalanx.
	It's a great word.
	Here, let me look it up.
	Phalanx formation.
	Yeah.
	She said phalanx.
	Phalanx.
	That's ancient Greek.
	Yeah.
	It's a rectangular mass military formation composed of heavy infantry armed with spears, pikes, and syringes or similar weapons.
	Syringes.
	Yeah.
	Sarissas.
	Oh, I thought you said syringes.
	No, sarissas.
	What's a sarissas?
	Okay, now you're making me go off the track here.
	Sarissa is a four to seven meter long spear.
	It's a 21 foot long spear used in ancient Greece.
	So I guess they had spears.
	Stop pointing your spear at me, copper.
	You're spearing me, jerk.
	Don't spear me, bro.
	I don't think it was a phalanx.
	30 or 40 giant men in white shirts, apparently with the NYPD, appeared and stopped in front of me, and one of them used a megaphone, which the protesters have been told citizens are not allowed.
	You can't use a megaphone.
	Yeah, it just goes on and on and on and on.
	And I'm sorry.
	You know, I read her book.
	I liked her Shock Doctrine book.
	I've seen her speeches, and I think she's on the money with a lot of things.
	But this, to me, was a blatant promotional move on her.
	Publicity stunt!
	Total publicity stunt.
	You look at the video.
	She was very calm.
	She walks up, and the cops say, would you please move?
	And she's, no.
	I have every right to be here.
	Well, you know, okay.
	You're going to get arrested.
	And by the way, illegal arrest.
	I completely agree.
	But she did it completely for publicity, and she's at the Huffington Post party, the award ceremony where they're honoring Kim Kardashian.
	Please, give me a break.
	That's actually very telling, the fact that she, this great left-wing thoughtmeister, is at that party of that sort.
	Am I talking about the wrong...
	People are yelling at me in the...
	She's not the Naomi.
	Am I wrong?
	Who is Naomi Klein?
	Oh, now I'm confused.
	Naomi Klein's the other one.
	Well, wait a minute.
	Who's the shock doctrine?
	That's Naomi Klein.
	Well, who is this one, then?
	Well, let's find out.
	I was confused, too.
	Oh, now I'm confused.
	Okay, so...
	She's an American author, political consultant.
	Oh, this one.
	Oh, this is a different one.
	Yeah, this girl's a lot prettier than Naomi Klein.
	This is...
	Wolf, hmm.
	She is a political consultant.
	She's the one who did the beauty myth book.
	Oh.
	I read that one too.
	I love that book.
	That was a great book.
	She's a feminist woman.
	She's the author of The Lesbian Community.
	I can see why you're attracted to her.
	Her father was the Roman-born horror scholar Leonard Woolf.
	She attended Lowell High School, which I guess is in San Francisco.
	Well, you know what?
	Then I'm happy.
	I'm happy I was wrong.
	The only female in the bones and skulls.
	No, I'm happy.
	Well, she's in the skull and bones?
	No, I'm just kidding.
	No, I'm happy.
	I was upset for a second there.
	Okay, well, good.
	Yeah, you know, Naomi Klein, Naomi Wolf.
	How many Naomi authors do we have?
	Naomi Campbell.
	Seriously.
	I was also off the track.
	We apologize to our listeners.
	Thank you, chat room.
	We correct ourselves on the show.
	On the show.
	Thank you, chat room, for correcting me.
	Okay.
	So that's even better.
	It proves my point.
	This is a celebrity bonanza.
	Go out and get arrested.
	It's like, you know, next you'll be like, oh, could you please give me a GPS ankle bracelet?
	Because that's really all the hottest bridge.
	I really want one of those.
	This is what it is.
	You will see more and more celebrities getting arrested out of solidarity for Occupy Wall Street.
	It is the new black.
	This woman's dangerous.
	In 2004, Wolf wrote an article in New York Magazine accusing acclaimed literary scholar Harold Bloom of sexual harassment more than two decades earlier.
	Explaining why she'd finally gone public with the charges, Wolf wrote,"...I began nearly a year ago to try privately to start a conversation with my alma mater that would reassure me that steps had been taken in the ensuing years to ensure that unwanted sexual advances of this sort weren't still occurring." Anyway.
	It's the new thing.
	She's a hostile woman.
	Right.
	But I like her.
	You know, in a sexual manner.
	Well.
	But this is the thing.
	You'd be allowed to watch.
	I want all the Naomi's having a threesome.
	Naomi Klein, Naomi Wolf, and Naomi Campbell.
	But regardless, be on the lookout for more celebrities getting arrested.
	And why was she at this event?
	It's the same thing.
	Well, of course she was at the event.
	Kim Kardashian is going to extol the virtues of Kim Kardashian as a great entrepreneur.
	Business leader.
	Give me a break.
	It's great.
	I loved it.
	I thought it was fantastic.
	Great.
	Way to go.
	Who will be next?
	So the most emailed article of the week, without a doubt, is this story.
	Basically, House Bill 195 says those who buy and sell second-hand goods cannot use cash in those transactions.
	And it flew so far under the radar that most businesses don't even know about it.
	We're going to lose a lot of business.
	We don't want this cash transaction to be taken away from us.
	I mean, it's an everyday transaction.
	Danny Guidry owns the Pioneer Trading Post in Lafayette.
	He deals in buying and selling unique second-hand items.
	I think everyone in this business, once they find out about it, there's going to be a lot of uproar.
	The law states those who buy or sell second-hand goods are prohibited from using cash.
	State Representative Ricky Hardy co-authored the bill.
	They give a check or a cashier's money order or an electronic.
	One of those three mechanisms is used.
	Hardy says the bill is targeted at criminals who steal anything from copper to televisions and sell them for a quick buck.
	So the whole idea here behind this law, and this is...
	By the way, that law is totally illegal.
	And it's amended to the Louisiana Constitution.
	It doesn't help because if you pull out one of your Federal Reserve notes and read what it says on there.
	It says it's legal tender.
	Useful for any debt, obligation, blah, blah, blah.
	You know, owned as a...
	With the backing of the U.S. government, you can't say you can't use that to pay something.
	You can pay, you know, your mortgage.
	You can go to the bank and drop, you know, a couple thousand dollars, a thousand, a few hundred.
	I don't care what it is.
	You can buy anything you want with cash.
	That's the way that it's a national internet or, I'm sorry, a federal law.
	So I think there's something else behind this because, of course, I read the bill and there's a copy of it in the show notes at 349.nashownotes.com, Louisiana, HB1905. First of all, well, let me just read this to you and tell me what you think.
	Secondhand dealer defined, A, every person in this state engaged in the business of buying, selling, trading in, or otherwise acquiring or disposing of junk...
	It says junk?
	It says junk in the bill.
	Or used or second-hand property, including but not limited to...
	Now, this is where it gets interesting, because they didn't really explain this in the report.
	Jewelry, silverware, diamonds, precious metals...
	Ferrous metals, catalytic converters, auto hulks, copper, copper wire, copper alloy, bronze sink, aluminium, other than in the form of cans, stainless steel, nickel alloys, or brass, we're there in the form of bars, cable, ingots, rods, tubing, wire, wire scraps, clamps, or connectors, railroad track material, water utility materials, or furniture, and it goes on and on and on.
	So this is also about gold and silver.
	So that's one thing I picked up on that no one is mentioning.
	And they define what a second-hand dealer is.
	It is anyone other than a non-profit entity who buys, sells, trades in, or otherwise acquires or disposes of junk or used or second-hand property more frequently than once per month from any other person other than a non-profit entity shall be deemed as being engaged in the business of a second-hand dealer.
	So, there goes your Craigslist, I guess.
	There goes your eBay.
	There goes everything.
	Everything.
	Yeah, well, this will get thrown into the court system and that'll be the end of it.
	Well, but it's in right now.
	It's like a chicken.
	I mean, this is like ridiculous.
	Well, yeah, of course it's ridiculous.
	And here's what you need to do.
	What?
	What did you just do?
	Who, me?
	You cranked...
	Oh, I know what it is.
	I didn't do anything.
	Yeah, the sound just tripled.
	So here's what you have to adhere to.
	You have to...
	If you sell some junk to someone, if you're selling your junk...
	You have to get the name and the address and the residence or place of business of the purchaser, the date and sale, the name and address of the person from whom the material was purchased.
	Wait a minute.
	Hold on a second.
	The idea, if you listen to the guy's speech, is that people are stealing copper and selling it to junk dealers.
	Yeah.
	This is making it so that the guy who's selling the copper to the junk dealer has to make sure that the junk dealer gives you his name and address.
	Wait a minute, we made it backwards!
	It even states...
	Specifically, that if you don't have this information, failure to maintain the information or the register or to produce a report requested by any peace officer or law enforcement official, who now apparently are judge and jury, as required by this section, shall be prima facie evidence that the person receiving such material described in this section and not registered is known to be stolen.
	So if you don't have it, then it was stolen.
	Brother.
	Whoever violates this section shall be fined not less than $1,000 or imprisoned for not less than 30 days nor more than six months or both.
	Junk.
	That's my junk.
	Hey, man.
	Don't sell my junk, bro.
	Is there a definition for junk?
	Is there an actual...
	Well, let's look up the book of knowledge.
	Let's do that.
	Consult the book of knowledge.
	Helped us out with Naomi Campbell, or whoever it was.
	Junk.
	Junk.
	Define.
	Junk.
	Wiki.
	Junk.
	Let's see if the Wikipedia's got something.
	Informal, old, or discarded articles that are considered useless or of little value.
	Well, that's not what they're talking about.
	That doesn't make sense.
	Why would anybody sell junk if it's of little value?
	Yeah.
	Heroin is also junk.
	Oh, hey!
	You can't sell junk.
	Ah, heroin.
	Gotcha.
	Aha!
	It's about the heroin.
	And conveniently...
	Heroin?
	So, talking about heroin...
	I had a heroin clip, too.
	Oh, you do?
	Yeah.
	Oh, I just have Obama stumbling over his lines when he had to discuss the phony baloney attempt by...
	By the way, this has fallen off the radar, this Iranian attempt to blow up the Saudi embassy.
	Well, no, of course, we got Gaddafi.
	We killed him, so forget about it.
	Yeah, we had to change the subject, because that wasn't going over, and nobody was believing it.
	No, secret message, yeah.
	Did you ever hear Obama when he tried to discuss this?
	I guess we're going to hear it now.
	We believe that even if at the highest levels there was not detailed operational knowledge, there has to be accountability with respect to anybody in the Iranian government engaging in this kind of activity.
	Yeah, whatever.
	What?
	And that died.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Hey, you know, this is not working.
	What can we do?
	We need to spice it up a bit.
	Hey!
	You still got that crazy footage?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, man.
	Let's just say Gaddafi's dead.
	Yeah.
	Good idea.
	It's a good one.
	By the way, I forgot to mention this earlier, but remember early in this crazy Libyan thing where they had one kid after another dead and then he shows up the next day saying, hey, I'm not dead?
	Well, we're waiting for that.
	I wonder if Gaddafi's actually dead.
	Well, of course, but this is the hard thing about a podcast.
	By the time this is out on people's iPhones and Androids and stuff, we may already have Gaddafi posting YouTube videos saying, hey, hey, hey.
	I'm not dead.
	Who knows?
	Who knows?
	That's why everyone's kind of hedging their bets.
	Here's my heroin clip.
	President Obama, himself a former pot smoker whose academic and professional achievement was obviously unhindered by the occasional high, appointed Michelle Leonhardt as his head of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
	The Obama administration, in the person of the head of the DEA, has insisted that marijuana remain classified a Schedule I drug, which means the Obama administration officially considers marijuana to be just as dangerous as heroin.
	And it's been five weeks on the Your Voice, We the People on the WhiteHouse.gov.
	And number one, the top, how come we can't legalize marijuana?
	And the president promised, promise, promise, promise.
	He also promised they were going to stop cracking down on this California operations that have medical marijuana distributed.
	Oh, it's gotten even worse here.
	Did you hear about the latest?
	No.
	Oh, yeah.
	If it wasn't the plant, well, check this.
	DEA agents, State Patrol, and Grays Harbor deputies executed the search warrant.
	It's part of a major investigation into illegal psychedelic mushrooms.
	The target of the investigation, psilocybin mushrooms like these.
	We shot this video during a similar raid in Thurston County back in 2005.
	Neighbors in today's raids never suspected a thing.
	It's pretty amazing that that can go on right next door and no one has a clue about it, really.
	Growing mushrooms!
	And of course, this is a take-off of that clip that went around, which seems to be planted on YouTube, of the guy freaking out over mushrooms.
	Did you see that?
	No.
	It's a major flip.
	I think the thing is staged.
	Look up, mushroom, crazy, YouTube, you can find it in there somewhere.
	So, are magic mushrooms illegal?
	Yeah.
	Why?
	Why?
	Because they're magic.
	Oh, okay.
	Just want to make sure I understood.
	Because they're magic.
	I don't see it.
	I don't see it.
	I don't see any...
	Nothing viral in my world.
	It was on...
	It went around.
	It got a lot of attention.
	So I have a new...
	There's a new thing you can...
	We're watching Korean television.
	Okay.
	Are you looking for advertising opportunities for our slave t-shirts?
	Yes.
	And this crazy commercial shows up and I didn't realize now, I guess in Asia, the great tea drinking cultures of the world, which is one of the finest beverages imaginable, they're trying to push coffee down their throats and now they've come up with a new, kind of a new solution to one of the new uses for coffee and I think we should be paying attention to this.
	Did you know that the latest weight loss trend might be as easy as a cup of coffee in the morning?
	It has been found that coffee is the most reasonable, healthy, and advanced way to lose weight.
	This is why fashion coffee is the perfect product for you.
	Are you still worrying about your weight and health?
	Fashion coffee is the answer.
	Witness the power of the drink and stay healthy every day.
	You know what's amazing is after I ate those magic mushrooms before the show, all of a sudden I can understand Korean.
	It's just fantastic how that works.
	Yeah, there's a whole thing going on with coffee.
	We played the clip on the last show where global warming is going to make coffee so expensive.
	Everyone's talking about the coffee, the coffee, so clearly there's commodity traders working on the coffee.
	And it's a pump.
	It's a pump and dump.
	I think that we need to get people...
	Isn't that the definition?
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, we need to get people all crazy about coffee.
	You can lose weight.
	It's great for you.
	I heard some other things about it's great for women for something.
	What was that?
	Hold on.
	Coffee, healthy for women, I think.
	Watch.
	I'm consulting the book of knowledge.
	There's all kinds of stories.
	Health benefits of coffee.
	The perks of coffee drinks.
	Oh yeah, coffee drinking linked to less depression in women.
	It's like, really?
	But it makes them snap at you.
	Yeah.
	Meanwhile...
	Yeah, no, you're right.
	It's a pump and dump.
	It's exactly what it is.
	Speaking of pumping...
	But it's funny, it would come up as a weight loss.
	I mean, what did that...
	I mean, the amount of fat people that drink coffee is outrageous.
	Well, you can say Coke is weight loss because it makes you poop.
	Yeah, there you go.
	I'm reliably informed.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Yeah.
	We have a clip here that you sent me.
	Yeah, I want to play this clip.
	I had a person come up to me at the Twit broadcast, Gary Blatt, and his wife Amy.
	I'll just credit him now.
	He gave me $66.
	Gary has donated before, I believe.
	Sorry?
	No, he was mentioned last week as a nightmare.
	Right, okay, well there you go.
	He came up to me and gave me $66 with the comment.
	He said, here's $66 in cash because I understand Adam got $60 in cash at the restaurant and I wanted to top it.
	Oh my goodness.
	So I'm thinking, okay.
	You owe me three bucks, Dvorak.
	Okay.
	So I'm just saying anybody out there runs into us, you know, you can be mentioned on this kind of thing.
	But anyway, Amy went on with a claim that we had given her karma in show 333, and she was just raving about it.
	And I, you know, we don't make any, the karma thing is kind of something we do.
	We don't sell it as like a premium item.
	We don't sell it as anything, but it seems to help people, and I don't know what the deal is.
	Whatever the case is, we should play this clip.
	So on show 334, you gave me karma, and it has overflowed in my life.
	I've had published books and articles, and he just became a knight.
	Today is his birthday, and we're so privileged to meet you, so thank you very much.
	Wait a minute.
	You didn't give him magic mushrooms after he gave you the $66, did you?
	That is, I have to say, it's beautiful.
	And I hope Leo saw it.
	Did Leo see that happen?
	No.
	Oh.
	No, he was busy regaling the people with his fez.
	Busy reading a Carbonite ad.
	Well, that is the beauty of this show, and it is fantastic.
	I love it.
	I love the fact that we can say anything we want on this program, as ludicrous sometimes as it may sound, and strangely enough, a lot of our ludicrous, outlandish statements come true.
	We have a red prediction book.
	We do a lot of work.
	We watch a lot of crazy stuff.
	We pull things apart for you, and we do it the way we want to do it and the way you want us to do it because you are paying for the product.
	It's a beautiful system.
	Yeah, it's a direct connection.
	And we appreciate the help that we get, by the way.
	So we have, for starters today, we have Christian Herzog, Elwood, Illinois, 12372.
	I'm in for $111 for their 1111 show.
	We do have this new, we didn't realize until one of our producers sent in a note that 1111 is a magic number.
	Yeah, so that's what we sent out of mailing.
	I hope people got it discussing this.
	Plus an extra 1261 to put precisely 50% of the way to knighthood surprises on him because he also wants a karma shot for his wife who's looking for a career change.
	You can give him that.
	But future knight zog, as he likes to call himself...
	Doesn't realize that he came in right after Von Pelsmacher's with his free knighthood to the next person who gave a reasonable amount of money.
	Ah, so he wins!
	He wins, so he's already, now he's a knight!
	I love it.
	Good job.
	So we hope that he continues to contribute, though, since he was on his way to buying a knighthood.
	Good.
	So anyway, congratulations.
	Bob Appleby, Greensburg, Pennsylvania, 111.11.
	We have a bunch of those today because we sent out the mailing.
	Colin Sloman, London.
	London.
	He's in London City in London.
	$111.11.
	David Stewart, Seattle, Washington, 111.
	Francine Hardaway, Dame Francine Hardaway in Phoenix, $111.11.
	Greg Birch, our Black Knight Greg up there, our dentist in Port Angeles, Washington.
	He's provided the two of us with great...
	By the way, that toothbrush, the new Sonic toothbrush, I have the old one.
	I had the old one too.
	Interesting.
	The new one is more powerful.
	Have you noticed it?
	Go back to the old one.
	No, no, no.
	I know it's more powerful.
	I also like that it has multi-settings that has a readout, which is nice.
	I love the case, that you can plug the case in so you can charge it on the road, which is a big problem with the previous model.
	But it actually, I read the instructions, believe it or not.
	After like the first five or ten times you use it, then it increases in power for newbies.
	Because it is a weird feeling, this sonic toothbrush.
	Yeah, this thing really kicks it.
	I mean, it's like amazing.
	Yeah, it was good.
	Now, he's got an interesting note.
	He says, in celebration, and he gave 111.11, in celebration of our locals kicking ICLEI Agenda 21 out of our county.
	Yeah.
	And this is an interesting tidbit.
	And saving the county $1,200 a year in dues, apparently you have to join some club to screw yourself.
	Yeah, I looked up the article that he referenced, and it was pretty good, actually.
	This is one of these initiatives from the administration, which essentially is helping to manage rural communities.
	Yeah, screw the rural communities is what it should say.
	Agenda 21, that's something you have to consult the Book of Knowledge on.
	And we'll put a link to that Gazette article.
	And he's got another $111 story.
	His knighthood of Michael Birch, son of Sir Black Knight.
	He loves to call himself that.
	And a podcast license for the Cooper Stripes podcast.
	Nice.
	Jeff Wolfer is in London.
	Another Londoner.
	$111.11.
	Dame Murasaki.
	Eight?
	Really?
	Really?
	Now, Murasaki 8 here, but I give special permission to use my first name Jennifer as well.
	Here's a small contribution in hopes for some karma for my university exam on Friday the 20th of October.
	Here's hoping more donations come rolling in.
	P.S. Love listening to the bad pronunciation of Australian towns.
	I hope that she's not a day late, because Friday is the 21st.
	Today is the 20th, I believe.
	Uh...
	Well, actually, because it's a day forward.
	They're a week forward and then three hours back.
	Here's the karma.
	Here you go, Jennifer.
	You've got karma.
	The karma will be, you're late, go now.
	Hurry up.
	Sir Joe Cool Design, Princeton, Ontario, $111.11.
	John Atwood, Cotter, Arkansas.
	$111.11.
	Jonathan Jackson, Chattanooga, Tennessee, same amount.
	Julie Kissick in Eaton, Colorado.
	Hi, guys.
	It's been a tough summer business-wise, so I've been too slow to re-donate.
	One day I overheard a news report that an Occupy Wall Street protester in D.C. was arrested for throwing a shoe at a Secret Service agent.
	Of course, that reminded me that it's been too long since my last donation and I needed to...
	Throw a shoe in with $111.11.
	Keep up the great work.
	If you can spare some karma, she'd appreciate it, Julie.
	Of course, Julie.
	Here you go.
	You've got karma.
	And a note of generosity from Lois Whitman.
	Hess in New York City, $111.11.
	Our PR girl.
	Matthias Anderson.
	Is Lois hot?
	Lois is incredibly hot.
	Thank you.
	Just wanted to check.
	But she's married, so you can't, you know, you're right.
	Dude, I'm not a philanderer.
	Matthias Anderson in Copenhagen, $111.11.
	Steve Nogratty, I guess.
	Thornton, Colorado, $111.11.
	Stephen E. Taft, Marietta, Georgia, $111.11.
	Obviously, the mailing was out on Wednesday to ask you specifically for this amount.
	Thanks for your efforts.
	You keep me company on my daily walks.
	That's nice.
	Still waiting for the podcast license for my contribution.
	You know what happened?
	Is a lot of people added their podcast license into a larger donation.
	Yes, it's a problem.
	So I'll go back and correct that.
	We'll get it.
	Thanks for the karma shot, too, as my good friend and hiking buddy's cancer is in remission.
	Good.
	We hate the cancer.
	Yeah.
	Nadine Zanotti, Covina, California.
	Yeah.
	I'm from Gitmo Nation's Stinking Cheese.
	Oh, she's a French woman.
	French, yes.
	I live in L.A. I have a job that I love, so I do not need karma for that.
	I'm getting married next year, so I will make a donation for that.
	But, USC is playing Notre Dame this weekend, and we, USC, need all the karma we can get.
	My fiancé turned me on to your show, and I love it.
	Thanks for keeping me sane.
	A bientôt.
	Can you give her some karma for this team, this miserable football team that she's rooting for?
	Avez-vous de karma?
	Si vous plaît, here it comes.
	You've got karma.
	I don't think it's going to have much effect on that outcome.
	Nikki just came in and snapped her bra at me.
	I think I should stop with the hot questions.
	Yes, I think you should, too.
	Elliot Gardner, York...
	It's all a fact you've been preoccupied with that on the show today.
	I don't know if you noticed.
	Elliot Gardner, York, Pennsylvania, in the morning wanted to ask for some karma for my wedding tomorrow.
	Whoa!
	Oh, you want me to hit it now?
	Yeah, I did it now.
	You've got karma.
	He's got this inside gag.
	He says his wedding tomorrow with the cripple, although the cripple isn't so crippled anymore, luckily.
	Oh, I know who this is.
	She's very cute.
	Adam will understand the joke.
	He met us in the Hot Pockets Tour, Gitmo Nation, Hogmaw, Schicksiny, Pennsylvania, or Schicksiny, Pennsylvania.
	Schicksiny.
	Schicksiny.
	Thanks for all you guys doing, keeping me sane in this insane world.
	I guess we're keeping people sane this week.
	If you do not want to take the time to read this on the show, it's not necessary.
	I canceled my $11 subscription on PayPal to use your suggestion of going back to the bank.
	I'm not sure how it works with other banks, but mine, they will send the check automatically for free, which I find fascinating.
	In fact, I get one envelope a month.
	From one of these bank services.
	They bundle them, right?
	They bundle them.
	So there's checks from Pennsylvania and all over the place.
	And so he's donated $55.55.
	David Lasko in Morgan Hill, California.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Keep up the good work.
	Glenn Riccio in Charlottesville, Virginia.
	Happy birthday to my daughter Sarah, who turned 18 on October 18th.
	Great job on your history class paper that educated your fellow high school slaves about the wisdom of Ron Paul.
	Yeah, that's good.
	I love it.
	Get those human resources started early.
	Yeah, this is a way to do it.
	Vladislav Vyshomirsky.
	Vyshomirsky.
	I think it's Vyshomirsky.
	You know what?
	I don't know.
	Vlad.
	Glasgow, Colorado.
	My name is Vlad, and my surname is impossible to pronounce.
	Saying hello from Glasgow to all Scottish slaves.
	It says Glasgow, Colorado.
	Yeah.
	Way to go, PayPal.
	Thank you, John and Adam, for an excellent product.
	We have $50 donors, Jack the Rogue, John Haller, and Norman Lorraine, plus one last $50 donor from Stephanie Edwards, a new donor from Chicago.
	Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
	Just realize that almost all of the truths I know about Monsanto and genetically modified foods is because of no agenda.
	This is worth $50,000 to me, but I'll have to start with $50 for now.
	Thank you, Steph, from theurbangeneralstore.com.
	You know, we're going to totally go on the planting rampage when we move to Austin, which, by the way, is coming up in less than three weeks.
	Tomatoes, melons.
	Cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, rice.
	I'm going to try rice.
	Can I make a rice field?
	You can't do rice.
	I have my peppers.
	My peppers are rocking.
	Lettuce, obviously, and something else.
	Melons.
	Melons?
	We should do melons.
	Okay, melons.
	Texas?
	Texas melons.
	The Texas state bird is a melon.
	Uh-huh.
	We have a couple of extra little mentions here.
	First of all, this is a nice one.
	This is from Jason Baker.
	My wife's car was stolen last night from our garage.
	The insurance is trying to screw us around.
	We may be out $33,000.
	We paid for the car.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Was it a Beamer?
	Any chance I could get some free karma?
	I've donated about $250 to the show over the last couple of years.
	Never asked for karma, but I could sure use it now.
	I'll donate to the show once we are financially stable again.
	Well, there's no actual cost for karma.
	And so, you know, we don't sell it, but we're happy to give you the karma.
	That sucks.
	You've got karma.
	It's Jason Baker.
	He's also a founding producer of the No Agenda stream.
	Then we have, let's see, Mark Wilson.
	Adam and John had sent a check for $200 a few weeks back and was accordingly made an associate executive producer on show 342.
	However, I just listened to show 346 and discovered that John has screwed up.
	I've been given two associate executive producer credits for the price of one.
	I'll be honest, being a student, I can't afford the second one.
	A lot of people have sent us follow-on donations, so please correct the error.
	Take my name off the credits for show 346.
	It's not fair to the other 1% that I get a free ride.
	1% of the people that donate.
	Oh yeah, right, 1% of the people that donate.
	Either that or he's part of the 99%.
	Who knows?
	I don't think so.
	I want to remind people to go to NoAgendaShow.com, Dvorak.org slash NA, ChannelDvorak.com slash NA, and No Agenda Nation.
	We can also pick up a slave t-shirt while you're at it, but click on the donate button.
	And I'd like to hand out one shot of karma for everybody who's listening, for our monthly donors especially.
	You've got karma.
	And while your brain is open and you're feeling all the good vibes from the karma...
	Dvorak.org Slash N-A-N Very quick list for today.
	Glenn Riccio congratulates his daughter Sarah who turned 18 on the 18th.
	And Gary Blatt says happy birthday to himself.
	His birthday was last Sunday on the 16th.
	Happy birthday.
	Remember, from time to time you actually will get a physical card in the mail.
	Just another part of the service here from your buddies at the No Agenda Show.
	It's your birthday, yeah!
	And we have two knights, which is very nice.
	And let me just extract my blade here.
	Wait, wait, I left it in the drawer.
	Oh, here it is.
	Got it?
	Yeah.
	Perfect.
	Dean Bertram and, surprise, Christian Herzog, who has received his knighthood from Baron Staph and Pelsmacher's.
	Step forward.
	Kneel.
	Extend your forefinger, middle finger, whichever finger our remaining rings will fit on, because that's what you receive when you support the No Agenda podcast, the best podcast in the universe.
	With $1,000 or more, I hereby pronounce these Sir Dean Bertram and Sir Christian Herzog, both of you knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Hookers and blow over here, my friends.
	Speaking of that, something you have predicted, although it's not here yet, it is already in the United States of Europe.
	Prostitution in Portugal on the rise.
	Ew.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Like, lots.
	Lots of women.
	Yeah.
	There's a whole article about it.
	That women, you know, and these are moms.
	These are just moms.
	Yeah.
	So they can't make the rent.
	Well, this will be happening here shortly.
	Well, this is when I... When did the...
	Because Portugal started how many months before we really started messing around here in the States?
	Like half a year?
	You're talking about the collapse of their economy or what?
	Well, whatever we want to pinpoint is the beginning of crap.
	I don't know.
	But you said that the increase in hookers in the United States would be around 2015.
	I think it's coming earlier, John.
	We're a little slow on the draw with this stuff.
	I mean, you can say that, and I'm sure there will be some indicators.
	But by 2015, that's when it will be, I think, in full swing.
	That's when you'll be noticing.
	That's when the comedians will be doing jokes about it.
	There will be so many hookers.
	Yeah, but it's not that funny.
	The decision to sell one's body cannot be taken lightly, it says, of course.
	But for many mothers, the alternative is to condemn their children to hunger, which is why increasing numbers of women in their 30s who are victims of the crisis are resorting to prostitution.
	It's like bittersweet news.
	I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.
	Jeez, you're terrible.
	You know I mean well.
	So, there was a report that showed up in the BBC yesterday, but it was already in the States.
	You must have seen this.
	I'll read you the BBC, and then I'll read you the US headlines.
	Vitamins linked with higher death risk in older women!
	When it comes to vitamins, it appears you could have too much of a good thing, say researchers, who report a link between their use and higher death rates amongst older women.
	Experts have suspected for some time that supplements may only be beneficial if a person is deficient in a nutrient.
	And so whenever there's research...
	You've got to be careful.
	This was propagated throughout the United States, USA Today.
	Vitamins study!
	Vitamins may increase death risk in older women.
	Time Magazine.
	We've been wasting a ton of money on vitamins and dietary supplements.
	MSNBC. Some common vitamin supplements could increase death risk!
	LA Times.
	Dietary supplement risky for older women.
	Study finds!
	And I can go on and on and on and on and on.
	So this study was a very interesting study.
	I really, really liked it because it was a survey study.
	Over 18 years' time, they asked 38,000 older women to email what they recall which vitamins and minerals they were taking.
	Do you like this study already?
	Yeah, it's really bad.
	Yeah.
	And so they basically said, hey, do you remember where you were taken?
	And are you dead?
	I guess.
	I'm not quite sure how they, you know, all emails that weren't delivered, apparently those women were dead and therefore is no good.
	The study was released in, well, what is this, what is the name of this thing?
	It's another one of those big pharma sponsored websites that has advertising, the Archives of Internal Medicine.
	And if you go to their website, it has pharmaceutical ads all over it.
	And it's so outlandish, this study.
	And clearly a part of what we've been following, the Codex Alimentarius, and the outlawing of...
	And it's all debatable, but the outlawing...
	Go ahead.
	This is the move to get...
	There's two things afoot.
	One is to get all these supplement shops and these people that sell natural herbs and the rest of it.
	Which is illegal now in many countries in Europe.
	Right.
	It's to get rid of all those things throughout the U.S., which is a lot of...
	My doctor, for example, often recommends some sort of herbal thing or something like that.
	But now that'll be illegal.
	It has to go through a pharmacy or a pharmaceutical company.
	Mm-hmm.
	And then the other thing is to slowly ban and get rid of the organic subculture, the small farmers, people who do organic farming on a small level.
	People who grow melons.
	Yeah, people like you who grow melons.
	There is actually talk about making it illegal to garden in your own backyard.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's been discussed.
	Because you can't trust anybody.
	They're all idiots.
	You'll have to have an organic growth license.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So another thing about this study, and this just shows you how news is made, and what I was not able to uncover, and that's kind of hard, maybe Lois can help us, I want to know which PR company propagated this study, because they did a good job and everyone picked up on it immediately.
	But they did stuff with the numbers, which is really interesting.
	In the study it says they adjusted all numbers for, so that means they changed the numbers, Quote, age, education level, place of residence, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, body mass index, waist to hip ratio, hormone replacement therapy, physical activity, smoking status, and intake of energy.
	So this is totally bogus.
	I mean, basically they just wrote some stuff down.
	After they asked a couple of women some questions through email what they remembered in the past 30 years.
	Yet it's played off in the media.
	And who are the ones advertising?
	What are the biggest advertisers?
	Let me think.
	Let me think.
	Oh, drug companies.
	Yes.
	Big pharmaceutical companies.
	And they play it off as you shouldn't take these because it's going to kill you.
	And that's really bad.
	So be aware of studies masking as news.
	Yeah, it's one of the PR companies that represents one of the big pharma companies.
	I'm absolutely sure of it.
	Now I have a commercial that I'd love.
	I'm going to play this commercial for you.
	And I want when you...
	It's a long commercial.
	But when you know what the commercial is about, I'll stop.
	Okay?
	Okay.
	This is obviously a setup that there's going to be something so obscure I won't get to the very end.
	Though I'm at the very center of you.
	Scientology!
	Our shadows are inseparable.
	The Twilight Trilogy.
	Even when we feel miles apart.
	The San Francisco Symphony.
	In your eyes, I can seem so simple.
	Uncle Ben's Rice.
	Close.
	At times I am your charm.
	Ah, perhaps blue ribbon.
	Close.
	At other times, you're a wickedness.
	Preparation H. Getting warmer.
	I can make you proud.
	Or embarrassed.
	Viagra.
	Ooh, getting very close.
	At times, I am tender, sweet.
	At times, I am wild.
	A good vibration store.
	No.
	The movie Avatar.
	Ha ha.
	No, you're getting cold now.
	And the pains that life brings us.
	Goodyear tires!
	Very close, very close, but no.
	Your little V. You didn't hear the last bit.
	I am your little V. It's a vagina commercial, John, from Johnson& Johnson.
	They're selling vaginas?
	Holy crap!
	What do they go for?
	It's starting, this is the Johnson& Johnson Little V, and it is the Diary of a Vagina.
	What?
	Yeah, oh yeah, it's the Diary of, that's why, didn't you hear her saying, at times I can be sweet, at times I'm ferocious, I can be beautiful.
	Some of them, apparently.
	There's a lot we don't know about the vagina, clearly.
	And this is just another part of the move towards feminine hygiene products being marketed to the certainly American public.
	Never were they allowed to say vagina.
	Oh boy, we can't say vagina on the air.
	And now all the comedy shows are using the words so that we can start getting these commercials.
	While this font is often mistaken for Helvetica, the fact is, it's Helvetica bold.
	I can actually hear the sound of her vagina being boarded up.
	Oh, those writers!
	It's so great!
	Yeah, the comedic value of vagina is awesome!
	No.
	It's so that Johnson& Johnson can...
	Why don't we just be honest about it?
	I don't know why these guys feel obliged to throw in the word gratuitously into their scripts.
	It's stupid.
	And it's not funny.
	No, it's not.
	Every time you bring one of these gags up, they're not funny.
	It's not.
	American Dad did one, too.
	Yeah, well, that would make sense.
	Yeah, but still, it's like, now we've got animated vagina jokes.
	It just gets worse.
	Animated vagina jokes.
	Check it out!
	I got full blueprints of our house for my project.
	The Junior Architect Society isn't going to know what hit them.
	Are you allergic to vaginas, Steve?
	Boy, that's hilarious!
	There was actually a funny sex ad that someone sent me.
	This one.
	Go to 60MinutesOvertime.com for a virtual journey through the paintings of Vincent van Gogh.
	Sponsored by Viagra.
	The guys have no shame.
	They have no shame.
	Sponsored by Viagra.
	They cause anal leakage.
	Really?
	So, the only other news I have that's kind of interesting...
	Well, actually, I have a couple of clips, but I can't get to my clips now because my email cloud service dropped dead right in the middle of the show.
	Wait, you're using the cloud?
	That's where my mail is kept, yeah.
	Okay, well...
	I might go to the other computer and see what I sent you, but it's...
	WTF Man Cave?
	Oh, that's an interesting story.
	This was a story that I was looking to do one of those extra or one of these things that wraps up all the celebrity news, but there was nothing worth doing because it was all depressing because of that car racer that died.
	Oh, yeah.
	I love it when we really have to change the rules of racing because someone died.
	Yeah, well, they do die.
	But this was kind of a throwaway.
	And when they did it, I said, this has been going on for years.
	I have never heard of it.
	You tell me if you've heard of it.
	We haven't talked about it.
	I haven't seen any reports about it.
	And the speculation has gone wild online over just what exactly is being built on the White House North Line.
	Construction crews have been digging a massive mystery hole right by the West Wing for at least a year and a half, with White House officials saying they can't reveal what it is because of national security.
	Many people are left to guess.
	Perhaps a new underground bunker, a giant swimming pool, an outdoor bowling alley, or perhaps a top-secret presidential man cave.
	Do you know about this?
	Yeah, I saw a report.
	It's not supposed to be done for like three years or something.
	It's supposed to take a real...
	It's the Big Big, they're calling it now.
	What could it possibly be?
	I don't know.
	Why is it such a secret with our transparent...
	I mean, once it's finished, someone's going to know what it is.
	Why don't they just tell us in advance?
	It's not like you can't aim your hellfire at the patch of grass.
	I don't know.
	They're not talking about it.
	I still think swimming pool is the one.
	I think underground swimming pool.
	Three years in the making.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, that's what Gabrielle Giffords will need when she's president.
	She'll need a swimming pool.
	It's forthcoming.
	Um...
	I have another clip that's worth listening to.
	All right.
	Because we do have our Australian news that we like to get people down under.
	I didn't have a clip of this.
	I did have the news, and it was interesting to me as well.
	Slightly depressing.
	Yeah.
	Let's go in.
	So a popular person she may be, but what about the overall concept of a British monarch being the head of state of Australia?
	What do Australians make of that?
	It sounds like an anachronism in the 21st century, and that's what Republicans say it is.
	It shouldn't continue.
	We're a brave, confident, irreverent, upstanding country of our own now, and we don't need a head of state who lives 12,000 miles away.
	But those voices are very much in the minority.
	A recent poll here had the people in favour of the monarchy at 55%, and those favouring a republic down to 34%.
	And that's the lowest figure for Republicans in 23 years, a long way from their high watermark in 1999 when there was a referendum here, And they came within shouting distance of winning the day.
	But those days have certainly gone into retreat.
	They're not as spent forth by any means.
	And they say that much of the popularity of the monarch is down to the Queen herself.
	And what will happen when the Queen's reign is over?
	One Republican said to me the other day, how would the Australians view a Queen Camilla?
	Prince Charles' wife.
	They say if that were to pass, then popularity of the monarchy would take a dip here.
	But the monarchers say no, it's not just the Queen herself that's proving popular, it's the institution itself and also what's coming in the future.
	The Lizard Queen visits her property.
	Let me see what's going on.
	Yeah, they had a referendum in 1999.
	Yeah, they almost ousted the Queen.
	Well, not almost.
	It didn't work.
	They didn't want him.
	Although there was a lot of stories about how Julia Gillard didn't curtsy.
	I think Gillard is the reason that this is in this situation.
	They say we can't trust our own lying prime minister like this woman who blatantly makes promises and then contradicts herself when she's elected.
	She lies to the electorate.
	Yes.
	The Queen doesn't do that.
	She never lies.
	Well, she didn't curtsy.
	She bowed and shook the Queen's hand.
	And there's a question.
	Oh, it was a big scandal?
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, she didn't curtsy.
	When I met the Queen, I curtsied.
	I bet you did.
	By the way, do you think maybe Obama's dig project, maybe that's where he's going to put Osama bin Laden's body and Gaddafi's body?
	Maybe it's going to be just a museum of the dead guys he killed.
	Yeah, like a tomb.
	Yeah, it's like Lenin's tomb in Russia.
	Tomb of the dead guys.
	Keep them frozen.
	There was something else in Australia, speaking of crazy, and this is, you know, in England they have the denotis, which is sent out to the media, and it's like, okay, here's something you can't talk about.
	And, of course, everyone goes, okay, which is unbelievable to me, you know, because a denotis can be put on anything, potentially.
	In Australia, the leading media organizations rejected a proposal from the federal government for a protocol to limit reporting of sensitive law enforcement and security information.
	Good.
	However, they have agreed to facilitate communication with police and security agencies in the interest of public safety.
	In other words, we won't actually admit to it, but we're going to do it anyway.
	So John, you and I have to be extra vigilant.
	I would think.
	I think we have to be anyway.
	Our Australian brothers and sisters who are now going to get all the lies and the push towards them more than it is, and of course the information withheld.
	Did you and Horowitz talk at all about Bank of America moving their derivatives off of their balance sheet?
	No.
	So, let me see if I can explain it, because I'm a disc jockey.
	It's called creative bookkeeping.
	Right.
	Unfortunately, it's put on our shoulders.
	Here's how it works.
	This is from Bloomberg.
	Bank of America Corp., hit by a credit downgrade last month, has moved derivatives from its Merrill Lynch unit to a subsidiary flush with insured deposits.
	Right.
	The Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., FDIC, disagree over the transfers which are being requested by counterparties.
	So they put $75 trillion of derivatives into an account that, from what I understand, is insured by the government,
	by the FDIC. So they have these deposits, and I really don't understand this stuff too well, but I presume a portion of the deposits guarantee the total value of these derivatives, which is just made-up stuff.
	And should it go bankrupt, should these derivatives start to unwind?
	And who knows?
	It could be French bank derivatives, for all I know, credit default swaps.
	If that goes belly up, it's in an institution that then the government has to guarantee.
	The Fed, of course, is all for it.
	They approve it.
	This is good.
	Good place to put it, boys.
	I don't know.
	Okay.
	Sounds like a scam.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's not really being reported on.
	And this, from the New York Fed, and this is something we just need to touch on because we've talked about it so many times, official news now.
	That student loan debt in the United States has now surpassed $1 trillion.
	That is more than the total amount held by all credit cards in America.
	Right, and the law was passed that bankruptcy will not absolve one of the debt debtors.
	By the way, you won't be absolved of your credit card debt either by bankruptcy.
	So in other words, bankruptcy in this country has been gutted for the purposes of keeping the banks in business.
	But that's pretty outrageous, $1 trillion of student loan debt.
	Yeah, I know.
	A lot of this, whenever we get repaid, it's almost like essentially it's kind of a more professional, a more polished payday loan.
	Where people have taken out this money and they've failed to make one payment and the interest rates gets jacked up and there's a guy with a baseball bat coming to your door to make sure you pay a little bit.
	And it's a big deal.
	Something's got to be done about this.
	It's corrupt.
	Christina's friends all have huge debt and it's a real problem because they can't really find a job and so what they do is they go to community college, they do anything they can to keep their student status.
	And you have to do a certain number of hours, I think, to be officially called a student.
	And, of course, they're working all kinds of side jobs with which no taxes are paid over.
	And it's ruining everything.
	But they're really afraid because it's not just like, oh, I had a small, small, small student loan or assistance.
	Of course, I went to college for three months, so I didn't use up much of that.
	But this is such big money, and they're on a schedule.
	You know, when you get out, you get a letter from the government who is now providing these loans, and they say, okay, and this year, the first year, you've got to pay back at $500 a month.
	The government's not providing...
	I'm not sure, but I think the government's enforcing the loans as opposed to providing them.
	I thought President Obama...
	Okay, I could be wrong.
	I could be wrong, too.
	But I'm pretty...
	Well...
	All I know is there's a scam involved.
	It's not good.
	Say the least.
	Let me just see if we have any interesting things left over.
	We've got Idaho now getting rid of their illegal immigrants on the farms for processing, this is all manual labor.
	Guess what they're using instead?
	What?
	Prisoners!
	Oh!
	Oh, yeah?
	Yeah.
	Wow, that puts it right in our strike zone.
	Yeah, prisoners.
	Yeah, screw you Mexicans.
	Get out of here.
	We got prisoners.
	Unless you want to be a prisoner.
	Hey, it's not bad, actually, being a prisoner.
	Hey, senor, it makes an extra dime.
	What do they get again?
	Like five cents an hour?
	Is that what they're getting?
	It's great.
	It's our prison labor.
	They were always complaining the Chinese use all this prison labor.
	It's fantastic.
	They're like the worst.
	And then we always point the finger at the Chinese.
	They hate that, by the way, having the finger pointed at them for using prison labor because they know that we're the prison labor country.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's great.
	Libya.
	We were talking about WiMAX being in Libya.
	Yeah, right, last show.
	Right, so it's true.
	In May 2008.
	I haven't got WiMAX here.
	What's it doing in Libya?
	Yeah, well, this is the dichotomy.
	You know, it's like you see on television a bunch of camel jockeys running around, you know, shooting their AK-47s on their sandals and driving this big Mardi Gras float.
	Like, oh, they're so stupid, you know, and Gaddafi kept them dumb and sand bunnies.
	But no.
	They had WiMAX since 2008.
	They've had WiMAX.
	Huh.
	In...
	Let me see.
	Tripoli and other major cities in Libya.
	How come we can't get WiMAX?
	We're not...
	We don't...
	I don't know.
	Makes no sense.
	We have it in Portland.
	Yeah.
	We don't have it in Los Angeles.
	One of the many reasons I'm leaving.
	They don't have it in Austin either that I know of.
	No, they don't.
	I thought I had Time Warner in Austin.
	I think it's wrong.
	I think I have Cox, which is probably going to suck.
	Cox?
	I think so.
	I don't think Time Warner is in Austin.
	I have no idea who's in Austin.
	Cox sucks.
	Yeah, I know.
	Hey, there's a bumper sticker for you.
	Cox sucks.
	And then here's a final question for you before we leave.
	What is the number one country who has sold weapons to Bahrain, Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Yemen since 2005?
	Well, that should be us.
	No.
	Then it would have to be Israel.
	No.
	Russia.
	You're never going to guess.
	Belgium.
	France.
	Belgium.
	Oh.
	Uh-huh.
	We should ask the Baron about that.
	I think maybe better we not ask.
	Belgium?
	Yeah, Belgium.
	They're the number one arms exporter.
	Of course, they don't make it.
	It's all being funneled.
	They're middlemen.
	Yeah, being funneled.
	This is the country that has no government.
	Everything's being funneled through this.
	Where did you get this piece of information?
	The Baron sent it to me.
	He sent it from the standard, the Belgian standard.
	It's a Dutch article.
	That's a little known fact.
	Yeah, Belgium.
	The country that has no government, that does everything that Brussels wants them to do, it's perfect.
	It's a bonanza there.
	It's nothing but great stuff going on.
	Huh.
	Interesting.
	I don't know what to make of that.
	I mean, the arms are made here and there.
	I think you're right.
	It's just a middleman.
	It's a sales office.
	Right.
	But there's probably a lot of sketchy arms deals that we can't do directly, you know, that have to be done.
	Send it through the Baron.
	So you send it through Belgium, and then the Belgians do whatever they want, and we kind of, well, I didn't know they were doing that.
	I think from now on we just credit Stephen Pelsmarkers with international arms dealer Baron von Pelsmarkers.
	What do you think?
	Probably a moniker he doesn't need.
	I have one final clip that I've been holding on to.
	This baffled me, but I'd like us to listen to it as our final clip.
	I can't do it as an end-of-show clip because we have to respond.
	This is this girl, Imogen, which is a hot name.
	It's a British name.
	And Imogen is on, I think, a Dylan Rattigan show, which was at MSNBC. And she goes into a rant about drones.
	And she's really...
	I mean, it's almost like I wrote the script for her.
	And as she gets towards the end of her rant, she starts to stumble.
	Because I think something is...
	First of all, they go from having all kinds of cute pictures of drones and stuff.
	That starts to...
	Literally, the screen goes away in the background.
	It's just blue.
	So they're back to a tight shot of her.
	She starts to stumble like something is happening or someone is speaking in her ear.
	And then they cut her off.
	The MSNBC went off the air for 12 seconds.
	So I think she went a little too close.
	Have a listen.
	We need to have a proper international debate and make a collective decision about the rules of engagement of armed drones right now or we're in danger of our world looking like a James Cameron Terminator movie.
	Armed drones are remote-controlled pilotless aerial vehicles that are able to hit targets of interest, including killing individuals.
	So far, only the UK, Israel and America are known to have deployed them, although the US leads the way by far.
	The first, striped by an armed drone, took place in Pakistan in 2004 under then-President George W. Bush.
	Under Obama, they have become America's go-to tool of choice in both its conventional and shadow wars, being used by both the military and the CIA. Now on First Look, you cannot blame the Obama administration for being so enamoured with drones.
	They allow US forces to attack targets without risking American lives and are relatively cheap.
	However, the Obama administration is being incredibly short-sighted.
	It's not just that drones do inevitably sometimes kill the wrong targets and can thus radicalise local populations and lead to more terrorism.
	Or that they have known to have security flaws, witnessed by the computer virus that recently hit the base in Nevada, where the US military remotely fly their drones.
	It's also vitally that where drone attacks stand in law is murky at best.
	Is it acceptable to assassinate people, including Americans?
	Who pulled the trigger?
	Under international conventions, civilians cannot engage in war.
	But CIA members are civilians.
	America seems to have unilaterally decided that it can send drones over borders to kill its enemies into countries it has not declared war on.
	Unsurprisingly, the world is now involved in a new arms race.
	More than 14 nations are developing armed drones, including Russia, China and Iran.
	What happens when everyone else starts using drones the way the US has done in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia and elsewhere?
	Here it starts.
	If America protests, the US will be looking mighty hypocritical.
	A science fiction scenario is becoming real.
	Experts believe that unmanned aircraft will eventually take over most tasks currently undertaken by manned systems, that drones will one day be the size of insects and birds, and that swarms may be used to overwhelm modern defense systems.
	The international norm that is being created by America is incredibly dangerous to America.
	Unless America, the leader of the free world, voluntarily submits to sorting out the international law on the use of armed drones right now, it is putting the...
	Boom!
	Off the air.
	12 seconds.
	Wow.
	That's a good little speech.
	I think she was telling it right.
	I really like that.
	I thought it was right on the money.
	What was she on?
	What was this?
	Dylan Rattigan's show.
	Oh, Dylan Rattigan.
	That's the guy.
	That is the one guy.
	I said it before when he first started showing up.
	He is the one wild card at MSNBC. He does not subscribe to the left-wing philosophies necessarily.
	He goes after everybody.
	He's fairly neutral.
	And this doesn't surprise me that this will be on this show.
	He's a radical in some way, shape, or form, but I'm telling you, he's not going to be on long.
	Well, you can see the entire clip, including the 12-second break, and then he comes back and says, hey, thanks, that was great.
	At 349.nashownotes.com, where we maintain links to everything we've discussed on today's program.
	And as always, Dvorak.org slash NA is where you can support this program so we don't ever have to consider giving up.
	We certainly aren't going to consider playing commercials.
	Coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're celebrating...
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back again on Thursday for another thrilling episode of No Agenda.
	I think it's Sunday we'll be back.
	Okay.
	We'll be back on Sunday for another thrilling episode of No Agenda.
	Don't drone me, John.
	I have two words for you.
	Predator drones.
	You will never see it coming.
