Time Text
And he's injecting babies' fetuses into his bloodstream in Switzerland.
Adam Couric, John C. Dvorak.
It's Sunday, October 23rd, 2011.
Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 350.
This is No Agenda.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, the land of equal opportunity bashing by me.
I'm John C. Devorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
That's right.
Equal opportunity bashing, eh?
So, uh, I guess this, uh, nothing to see here moment continues.
Hold on a second.
Don't look over here!
Nothing to see here!
Oh, look at that!
Uh, yeah, you know, are you referring by any chance to, uh, the killing of the colonel?
Killing of the Colonel.
Show title.
Yeah, I think that's what you're talking about, right?
The Killing of the Colonel.
So, I was watching Newsnight, and there seems to be a political thing going on between our agencies and the British.
I think the British, after the Killing of the Colonel, the British have gotten...
I'm liking how that sounds, by the way.
Yeah.
The British are getting all puffed up about it.
They think this is great.
I'm convinced now, because we've been watching this trend about Syria, where we cut them off, and Bahrain and all these other places.
We're not having anything to do with it.
And the British seem to be intent on going into Syria, and now they're goading us.
And if anyone gets to see the last week's Newsnight, which is that once-a-week show on the BBC that's kind of like 60 Minutes, but it's not.
Oh, wow.
I missed.
Do you have a clip of that?
No, I did, but, you know, it's so long.
It's easier for me to summarize than play a couple long, and it's more than one clip.
So they did two things.
First, they emphasized how bad things are in Syria with these shots of, you know, protesters shaking their fists.
But, you know, it was obviously a small group.
Yeah.
And then they, you know, they went on and on and on.
Then they did a demeaning piece on Gaddafi, showing that he was an idiot fashionista and something of a crackpot moron.
According to the British tabloid this morning, by the way, the Sports Sunday, front page, his body was that of a woman.
With fully developed female genitalia.
This is funny.
Yeah, but...
And so anyway...
There you go.
So there was that, and then they brought on, okay, now let's make the Americans look like a bunch of clowns.
They brought, the one segment was a long segment about all the protests we have going on, the Occupy protests, and the spokesperson for this...
Oh, no.
Was Michael Moore.
Oh, of course.
I will get this clip for the next show because they had to kind of carve it out of there.
But the clip is Michael Moore is asked specifically.
They said, well, what's this all about?
It seems silly.
Michael Moore says, it's not silly.
It's about the bankers and it's about the system.
Everybody's sick of it.
And the guy says, well, what will you replace it with?
With my book?
No, he's replacing it with his book.
Now out in England.
He says, are you against capitalism?
Do you think capitalism's got to go?
And Michael Moore just flat out says, yes.
Oh my God.
We should get rid of it.
That's so funny.
Which makes us look like a bunch of idiots, of course.
So what we have is Syria, Syria, Syria.
We don't...
Can't get the U.S. involved in Syria.
And here's part of the reason the U.S. are a bunch of idiots that have been sidetracked by their own Occupy movement with morons like this guy.
It was a subtext message.
I've never seen anything so blatant.
These British really want to go to war with Syria.
Well, that's interesting.
One last thing, just to throw it in as kind of a kicker.
I still believe, and we've talked about this, that the Russians have something to do with it.
We made a deal with them.
The Russians signed an agreement with Exxon.
I'm convinced British Petroleum is behind the whole thing because they never signed up with the Russians.
They got screwed in Russia.
Yeah.
No, of course.
So the British want to screw up Syria because that's a Russian port.
It's really a Russian...
Wait a minute.
Are you telling me this is about oil, John?
No.
In this case, it's about oil company pride.
Hey, first of all, in the morning to you, my friend.
And in the morning to you, and in the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground.
Yes, and all those cloned Gaddafis being droned.
And our human resources, who have shown up once again en masse in the chat room at noagentastream.com, noagentachat.net, as we do the show live every Thursday and Sunday morning, 9 a.m.
Pacific Standard Time in these Gitmo Nation of the United States.
It's interesting that you bring that up.
I do have a couple of real short clips.
So our president, you know that guy?
The Obama guy?
He does his YouTube address every single week, and I'm one of the 700 people who watches it, which is literally how many views he gets.
Is that it?
Is that the number?
Oh yeah, it's like 700.
And he, so it's 21 seconds, he asserts, first of all, that we are global leaders, which is basically like, here, limeys, take that, bitches.
But then he says something that I need some help on understanding, because words matter.
And this is a hard one.
This week, we had two powerful reminders of how we've renewed American leadership in the world.
So, okay, so we've renewed American leadership.
Yeah.
Don't we have it?
We've renewed it.
I think our library card expired and we had to go renew it.
And we do it in two ways.
One...
I was proud to announce that, as promised...
As I promised!
The rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of this year.
Nice.
And in Libya...
Didn't he promise that was going to happen a couple years ago?
No, he promised.
We'll talk about that in a second.
I got a whole Iraq thing, but right now, this is the important bit.
This is the important.
Let's get back to the killing of the colonel.
The death of Muammar Gaddafi showed that our role in protecting the Libyan people and helping them break free from a tyrant was the right thing to do.
Now, first he says the death, not the killing.
The death of Muammar Gaddafi shows that our role...
Did he say liberating the Libyan people was the right thing to do?
I don't understand how our role in helping the Libyan people to liberate themselves was the right thing to do, apparently if you look at the sentence structure, because the guy got killed.
I don't understand the language.
Do you understand what he's saying?
I noticed this with some of the clips I have, is that the administration currently, and all the Democrats, in fact, are talking in very strange and non-sequitur language.
It doesn't really make any sense.
If you break it down, these sentences make...
I got one that's a beauty.
It makes absolutely no sense on any planet that I've ever visited.
Which one is it?
This one.
Oh, you mean talking about the planet?
No, you said I've got one.
Oh, no, I do have one, but let's bring it up on here first.
Or was that it?
No, no, no.
Oh, no, I'm not done.
I am not done.
I want the zinger in there.
Okay, the zinger's coming.
Now I'm going to drag it out a little longer.
Okay, so now we go to the Canadian Prime Minister.
What's his name?
Harper.
Is that Harper still?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's Harper, right?
And he's great and fantastic, and of course we can't forget our Canadian Armed Forces, but words matter.
Listen to what he says.
At this time, I should like to say how proud we all are of the prominent role played by Canada's Armed Forces.
In cooperation with our NATO and striker group allies, they upheld the UN mandate to defend innocent Libyans against the regime's violence.
I should also like to commend Lieutenant General Charles Bouchard of the Royal Canadian Air Force who led the combined NATO military mission in Libya.
General Bouchard has served our country with great distinction.
I've recently spoken with General Bouchard and our government shall be speaking with our allies to pretend to prepare for the end of our military mission.
To pretend, I mean prepare.
Come on!
How did you get to this?
Come on!
To pretend.
How do you get to pretend?
Because this is Freudian.
It's what's on his mind.
He's like, we're just pretending to get out.
We're not.
We're sending more in because we've got to protect our oil interests.
Holy crap!
That is already the clip of the day.
Let's do it again.
It's so groovy.
I'm with General Bouchard, and our government shall be speaking with our allies to prepare for the end of our military mission in the next few days.
That's not like a flub.
No!
It's not like pretend.
No, it's pretend.
He says pretend.
Yeah, he said pretend.
We're going to pretend.
I mean, prepare.
Where'd you get that one?
That is the Prime Minister's address.
You never listened to Harper.
Where'd you get that?
Somebody sent it to you.
Noagendanewsnetwork.com, my friend.
Good catch.
Whoever caught it on the news network.
I don't want to promote that too much, because you'll be looking at the No Agenda News Network.
I have a scheme of foot.
All right.
Hail the foot.
Now, here's the best one.
This is the most understandable from Lady MacDeath herself.
Lucifer Clinton.
That's her new nickname, Lady MacDeath.
So remember when she got the BlackBerry and she went, wow, unconfirmed, unconfirmed reports.
By the way, I figured something else out because if you look at that video, the person who hands the BlackBerry to her is Huma Abedin.
Anthony Weiner's wife.
And she is pregnant.
She's got a big, big belly.
Because she's standing and Hillary's sitting, so you only see her face momentarily as she steps a little further in the background.
I believe, you know, these series of interviews, remember she was talking about, the interviewer was saying, you know, it's obvious you want to be a grandmother, and we couldn't figure it out.
That's because Huma is walking around Hillary all day, like, ready to pop.
And Hillary's, like, beside herself with joy.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
So she's getting ready to...
So you're suggesting that the baby is actually their love child?
Yes, of course.
Because Wiener's just a beard.
Yeah, exactly.
We've isolated the possibilities of that.
Oh, by the way, we had dinner last night with our lesbian power couple friends.
Confirmed.
They, like, confirmed.
Confirmed what?
That Hillary...
This is nothing new.
But that's not the zinger.
Here comes the zinger.
Forget about all that.
So, she gets this news, and ha ha ha, oh, unconfirmed, blah blah blah.
Then the interview's about to start, and she lays it out so clearly.
It's like, this is your United States American government representative, the Secretary of State, the most powerful woman in the world.
Here's what she has to say about the killing of the colonel.
So, I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed.
Yes, we came, we saw, he died.
Did it have anything to do with your visit?
No.
I'm sure it did.
Of course it did.
We came, we saw, he died.
It's like the gratuitous drone comment from the president.
But then listen to...
It's hard to hear at the end.
The interviewer says, did your visit have anything to do with that?
Yeah, and she says, I'm sure it did.
He died.
Did it have anything to do with your visit?
No.
I'm sure it did.
Take that, you tranny colonel!
Unbelievable!
The fact that they're not playing this clip over and over and over again on television tells me that this was not meant to slip out.
And people are worried about this becoming a meme, because if you really truly see it, we came, we saw, got that bitch, slammed him!
Nine millimeter, two to the head, got you mofo!
Fuck!
Getting the bloodthirsty nature of the, especially the Democrats.
So I'm watching, unfortunately I have too many clips and we'll have to kind of dole them out, too many clips from one show and we'll have to dole them out during the entire two hours here of Bill Maher because Bill Maher had on this last week's show and I think it's still available so people maybe can catch it before the next one.
I don't think they do the whole show on HBO.com.
I've tried that.
You have to like go to Hulu or something I guess.
And he normally tries to do some balance on the panel by putting in one gratuitous conservative.
One token dude.
One token person that can actually stop them once in a while and say, hey, that's bull crap.
No, this time it was all liberals.
Who was on?
Who was on?
Oh, there was that douchebag from the New York Times.
What's his name?
Crystal?
Crystal?
No, no.
Who?
Crystal?
The Clooney's guy?
Kristoff?
No, he's not in the New York Times.
He's a standard guy.
No, Thomas...
Oh, Friedman.
Thomas Friedman.
Yes, the CIA guy.
Rachel Maddow.
And the weird thing about the whole show, by the way, is...
And I took a picture, I'm going to blog it, because I got one shot.
Everybody, both Marr, but mostly Friedman, were leaning, and the body language was astonishing on the show.
Away from each other?
No, really?
Well, no.
Maddow looked weird because she was higher than everybody else.
She has a huge torso or something.
I don't know what the deal is.
She was up like two inches above everyone else.
And she has her neck now is as wide as her head.
Really?
She pumping iron?
She working out?
I don't know, but she looks like Beaker on the old Muppet show.
The head and the neck are all one thing.
So she's way up there, and Friedman in particular is leaning so far away from her, he's almost kissing the guy next to him.
Really?
And Mara's leaning away from her.
And then the guest that Mara brought on, some other guy, they're all leaning away from Rachel.
That is interesting.
I love watching that.
When you see people like that, and they're literally like...
This was out of control.
45 degree angle.
Hmm, interesting.
Out of control, and it was the entire show.
It was like they all either hated her or...
Now I have to go and watch that now?
So anyway, I've got a couple of interesting things.
They seem to be, and Matt, I was leading the charge, but Maher to the most part, they all seem to be very bloodthirsty.
And if you play this clip on Maher on Obama's Republican record and think about what he's really saying here...
Ready?
Yeah, hit it.
If you just presented the Republicans with Obama's resume and didn't say who it was...
They would erect statues to this guy.
He killed Bin Laden.
He killed Gaddafi.
He saved us from a depression.
I mean, just the killing alone.
Michelle Malkin would name her vibrator Obama.
I wasn't going to follow up on that one.
You can imagine what it would be like.
I mean, if Bush were still in office, he'd have one of those teardrop tattoos like he'd get for killing guys.
You know.
They'd be putting out mission accomplished banners that are bigger than the AIDS quilt.
I mean, it's...
So I heard...
Alright.
So, what are they saying here?
They're saying that Obama is Bush!
Yeah, and that he should run for the Republican ticket.
You know why?
Because we need to get the ratings up higher on those debates, so we need to throw Obama in.
That would be perfect.
Yeah, and anyway, so then, besides saying Obama is Bush and the Republicans should recognize this fact, and it's a good thing, which makes me wonder, wait, I thought he should be a Democrat, not another version of Bush, you know, which is essentially what he's become.
He's worse.
They never mentioned anything about the Patriot Act or anything such as that.
Or the Nobel Peace Prize.
They take it one step further, and if you listen to Mara makes Obama an emperor, they're actually inferring, I suppose, that he should really have more power.
I mean, this whole thing is completely out of control.
How good Obama is when he does not have to deal with the Republicans, which is foreign affairs and, you know, defense matters.
You don't have to ask permission.
How good could he be if he didn't have this kind of obstructionism working domestically?
Oh, my God!
Shoot the audience!
You probably have, what, single-payer health care, at least a public option.
You'd have clean air laws, as Administrator Jackson was talking about.
You have chitlins in every pot?
So they said, you know, this is, of course, bullcrap because Obama's a stooge for the insurance company.
So they never wanted single-payer because if they did, when Obama first got in office with the mandate, with owning the Congress and owning the executive branch, he had the whole thing to himself.
He could have passed anything he wanted and he didn't do it.
So this is bullcrap, but the fact that they want to make him an emperor, essentially...
Yeah.
It's beyond me.
Well, you know, what's your problem?
Why are you being so difficult?
The last one that I know.
Get rid of the program.
I'm just being, I'm aghast only as an act.
I know this is going on.
But the last thing is, the crazy thing is, now Mar goes on, I don't even, we don't even have to play this clip, but let's just put it, let me just shorten it.
And Maher goes on about how great it is.
You know, he's mocking Romney and saying how, he says, Romney's bitching about the, that Obama's cutting back on defense.
And he says, no, Obama's great.
He's added to the defense budget and he wants even more money for the military, as though this is another good thing.
Mitt Romney made a speech, a big defense policy speech last week, and he said, I will reverse Obama's massive defense cuts.
Well...
The defense bill went up from, yeah, under Obama went from 594 to 666.
666, devil.
And next year he's asking for 730.
The only thing wrong with that statement is that it's completely a lie.
I guess I'm nitpicking.
He also said that Obama's hallowed out the Navy.
He's added ships.
It's amazing the way they can ignore the reality of it because they live in the bubble.
Once again, the bubble.
Nothing gets in the bubble.
Yeah, well, we've identified that this has been going on and that these guys are Democrats and they are just going along with the party line, whatever they're told to do.
I'm pretty convinced Bill Maher is just doing whatever he's told to do.
Otherwise, he'll be out of a job again because when he gets off the rails, he gets kicked off.
And this is it.
And people are insane.
Our whole country has gone nuts.
We're insane.
Except for Ron Paul.
Who was on the NBC Sunday show this morning.
I saw him having my pancakes.
And he was good.
He was really, really good.
You know, sometimes he can come across a little, you know, kind of like that old guy look.
Yeah, he gets enough sleep, he's really good.
He had slept well, the lighting was good, and he was on message, and it was really, really spot on.
And I was quite amazed.
And there must be some reason for him getting that.
But the hubris of it, I think, is what makes me, which gets me, really.
It's like, yeah, we kill him, we're good, he's killing, everyone's good, we're killing.
And then when Lindsey Graham is interviewed about Libya, it's just more of all the good stuff.
And by the way, not hiding anything.
Senator Graham, what do we do about that?
What do we do about the chemical weapons?
What do we do about these 20,000 shoulder-fired missiles, the 28 separate militia groups that are roaming the streets there?
What is our role moving forward?
We're trying to influence the outcome, and one of the problems I have of leading from behind is that when a day like this comes, we don't have the infrastructure in place that we could have.
I'm glad it ended the way it did.
It took longer than it should have.
If we'd have kept American air power in the fight from the very beginning, it would have been over a lot quicker.
60,000 Libyans have been wounded, 3,000 main, 25,000 killed.
So let's get in on the ground.
There's a lot of money to be made in the future in Libya.
There's a lot of oil to be produced.
Let's get on the ground and help the Libyan people establish a democracy and a functioning economy based on free market principles.
And when it comes to weapons control, get teams on the ground now that can assist this government to make sure that this stuff doesn't fall in the wrong hands.
And we don't have much of a presence.
There's a note when you get people on the ground.
We're getting people on the ground.
Woo!
Money to be made.
Woo!
So 25,000 civilians were killed, and the whole thing began to protect civilians in some town that had a population of less than that.
No, but Gaddafi did that with his golden gun, you fool.
It had nothing to do with bombs that we never saw on television.
No, it's Gaddafi, man.
It was Gaddafi.
It's good.
We are protecting the Libyans.
It shows we were just as right.
It's just been served as good.
Woo!
Woo!
Ha!
We came, we saw, he died.
That crap will haunt her.
That will haunt her.
We came, we saw, he died.
Well, she's definitely...
What is that in life?
Veiny, VD... It's very cold-blooded.
I think there's reasons to go to war.
World War II is a good example, Hitler.
Yeah, not a good guy.
But this no-fly zone, that wasn't a no-fly zone.
It was just basically bombing raids.
Yeah, it was a carpet bomb zone.
And then this cold-blooded...
You know, unhumanitarian, which is, again, as far as I always was kind of believed, there's nothing you'd get from the left.
The left were supposed to be these do-gooders, and when they're given the opportunity to have the trigger or hold the gun, they're worse than the Republicans, as Maher actually points out, although he thinks it's a good thing.
Last night, it was very weird, actually.
And it showed me what's going on here, and it's probably going on elsewhere.
We had dinner with our lesbian power couple.
And, you know, one's like a top corporate executive at a big company, and the other one has her own company as a psychologist and training.
It's like they're very, very successful.
And sweethearts.
Love them to death.
And, uh, and all of a sudden, she starts, she says, you know, have I ever told you who my heroes are?
I'm like, uh, no.
And, by the way, it's after some alcohol has been consumed.
And she gives me her Blackberry, and on her Blackberry is Ayaan Hirshiali, you know her, right, the Somali?
Yeah, yeah.
With George W. Bush.
And she's like, you know, these are my true heroes.
I think they're great.
I think what's happening, you know, protecting the country.
Al-Qaeda is already here.
You know, the minor inconvenience of the TSA. I'm like, pass the bottle, bitch.
I need to drink to talk to you.
It was unbelievable.
And it was not a confrontational argument, but I was really blown away about how honest and sincere She is about what I think has been mind-controlled.
This is a smart woman.
And it just blew me away.
And, by the way, thinks that Obama could be her next hero because of all the great things he's done by killing the jihadists.
It's frightening that this is real belief.
Oh, yeah.
Like, real.
I mean, we joke about it, right?
We're like, haha.
You know, it's like, oh, yeah, be very afraid.
These people actually believe that Al-Qaeda's here.
And, you know, thank goodness our great security apparatus has stopped the underwear bomber.
I'm like, no.
That was passengers.
You always have to continually point out to people that the security apparatus did not stop the shoe bomber.
It was the public.
It wasn't the underwear bomber wasn't stopped by security.
It was the public.
The public can do the job.
Well, what I said, my retort was, you know, we don't need all the TSA. Just let me wear my guns on the outside, and when someone comes to Allah Akbar, my plane, I'll put a cap in his ass.
It'll be easy.
You know, the public will protect the public.
Once they're aware, that's what happens.
That's why the shoe guy got his head caved in by a fire extinguisher, because now that they've driven planes into buildings...
It's like, hey, man, hey, man, don't do that!
Don't do that, man!
Hey, put that away!
Mm-hmm.
Knock you upside the head with a fire extinguisher.
That's what Americans do.
We're told not to do that.
Leave it to the experts.
Leave it to the security people.
Leave it to the TSA. Leave it to the Department of Homeland Security.
This is what happened in Katrina when the government didn't show up, but they didn't allow the local businesses to do something.
The helpful equipment that they could use, they weren't allowed to do it.
They were told, no, you can't do it.
You'll be arrested.
We're turning into a huge Gitmo nation of pussies.
Well, the fact that what you're experiencing when people just parrot the party line, which is what we're talking about, that was fed to them by the media and by their parties, both of them.
But it's locked in place.
It's like quantum lock.
She's so convinced.
And she has a whole bookcase full of jihad, secret jihad, jihad, like tons of jihad books I've never owned.
I have to read them now.
Now I've got to see what the propaganda is.
I'm like, wow, really?
And all of this started with 9-11.
Really?
And how we retaliated was good.
So yeah, 3,000 people died.
Sucks.
Buildings went down.
Sucks.
Regardless of how it happened or what you think.
Yeah, that's okay.
We just killed 25,000 civilians.
What?
A million Iraqis.
And a million Iraqis.
Come on, man.
More than made up for our 3,000, you know.
Anyway, so...
Like a 20 to 1 basis.
So here's how I closed it.
I said, it's okay because I believe in humanity and when the fifth dimension comes and we all ascend, you'll be left behind.
You're going to go poof.
You're not going to be here anymore.
Yeah, that convinced her, I'm sure.
Yep.
Right on message.
Now, let's talk about this leaving Iraq thing, because I do have a theory.
Hold on a second.
Didn't we already leave Iraq?
We had bunches of clips about how they snuck out in the dead of night.
No, Rachel Maddow.
How many times were we going to leave Iraq?
Rachel Maddow was on the front of the Humvee as they were leaving Iraq.
Remember that?
She was there.
She had exclusive access.
On Monday this week, Monday.
Now, the president announced this, what, Thursday?
Friday?
When did he announce we're leaving Iraq again?
Yeah, we're leaving again.
But on Monday, here's what Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said.
We're still in negotiations with the Iraqis.
General Austin, the ambassador, continued discussions with the Iraqi leaders, and we're hoping ultimately that they'll be able to find an agreement here.
So, at this stage of the game, you know, I think...
Our hope is that the negotiators can ultimately find a way to resolve this issue in terms of what are the Iraqi needs and how can we best meet them once we've concluded our combat operations.
That by the way is a drone that's flying overhead which is kind of funny.
So he was saying we're still in negotiation, we're still in negotiation.
Now there's two memes floating around.
One is that Iraq kicked us out, right?
And the other is that, well this is part of the thing that I was looking at.
It's like, okay, we're bringing our troops home.
Now we know that there's a, and actually I have the final real idea of what's going on.
We know we have the largest embassy in the world in Iraq.
The thing is huge.
Yeah, why is that?
Has that ever been explained why this thing has to be this big?
Well, I think because it's...
It's the size of the merchandise mart in Chicago.
Well, it's a contract.
You know, it's like if you're going to build it, we might as well build it big.
We had the land.
And here's another thing that bugs me.
I don't want to go too far off the track.
Why do all our embassies, and I don't know of any exceptions to this, why are they all so ugly?
They're all but ugly.
A lot of countries put up an embassy and it's gorgeous, so they buy an old building and they renovate it.
Ours all look like Stalinist bunkers.
Dude, have you seen it?
They're block-shaped.
They're horrible looking.
And if we ever leave those countries, they would have no problem just tearing the thing down because it's just an eyesore.
The one in Sweden, the locals joke about it.
Have you ever seen our cars?
Does that tell you about the American design sense?
I mean, this is why you need Dame Astrid to come in and design it.
We have architects in this country.
No, we need Dame Astrid to come in and Sir Mark.
They need to come in and design the embassy.
They would make it beautiful.
It'd be glass and metal and stuff.
Of course, there's a bunker aspect to it.
But anyway, Spokeshole Carney has taken questions.
I'm sorry.
Yes, with Dennis McDonough, who is the Undersecretary of State, I believe.
And so, you know, the question comes up, which I was interested in.
It's like, okay, troops, but how about those, what are they called?
Oh, yeah, contractors.
How can you be assured of the security of the diplomats and the contractors who will stay in Iraq?
Well, it's something that we're spending a great deal of time on.
And obviously we've insisted that for our diplomatic presence there.
Incidentally, we'll maintain an embassy there.
We have embassies all around the world.
Other countries have embassies all around the world.
It's normal.
And it's not big.
Nothing to see.
Don't look at the size of it.
We have to assume a basic amount of protections for our people, and that's what we're communicating to the Iraqis.
The President underscored to Prime Minister Maliki that we continue to insist that the Iraqis help us in the protection of our diplomats as well.
But we're, as we look at that presence, we're going to ensure the kind of standard protections of our diplomatic personnel to include marine security detail and stuff like that.
We have embassies all around the world.
Yeah, yeah, we've got embassies all around the world.
I know.
Shut up already.
Hey, Adam, do you know something that's interesting?
We have embassies all around the world?
Uh-huh.
Did you know that?
Yeah, I looked it up.
Yeah, there's embassies all around the world.
Really?
All the countries have my hair.
Everyone's doing it.
All the cool kids have embassies around the world.
Yeah, around the world.
So I looked it up, and this is from a government document.
It's loading here in my open office program.
It's the contractors in that...
No, I don't want to participate in the open office.
Do they talk about the fact that the green zone is essentially a city-state?
That we've set up within Iraq.
It's not really...
It's our property.
It's our property.
It's its own country.
It's huge.
And it's obviously the control center for the entire Middle East.
Yes.
Well, that's...
Yeah, you put your finger on it.
So, I have here from the Department of Defense, contractor support of U.S. operations in the UCENTCOM area of responsibility, Iraq and Afghanistan.
And how many contractors as of, this is October, so these are recent numbers, how many contractors do you think are in Iraq?
I would guess 150,000.
Well, no.
Not quite that much.
52,637.
But wait.
Of which 16,000 are civilians.
Code word for CIA. Afghanistan.
Yeah, that's what it is.
Yeah, it's true.
Afghanistan.
101,789 contractors.
Of which 23,190 civilians.
These are big numbers.
And there's no talk about that.
There's no talk about...
And by the way, they're armed.
To the teeth?
The document specifically says...
By the way, they also have a license to kill.
Yeah, the document says...
The civilians do.
The civilians have the license to kill.
Yeah, there's some quote-unquote the civilians.
The civilians.
It specifically says some contractors are not armed.
It's okay.
Okay.
What, the one guy?
Hey!
Hey, you fool!
You didn't get the right contract, man.
Take a gun out with you.
Anyway, so it's pathetic.
I guess in summary, we will kill you if you don't give us your shit.
And ha ha ha, we laugh at you.
And by the way, the American public seems to be on board with this.
We're totally on board.
We rock this.
Well, luckily not everyone who listens to this show is on board with it, and a couple of them have supported our model, which I might point out includes only two civilians in our operation, but heavily armed.
Yeah.
Well, they should be.
Yeah.
Heavily armed civilians here on the No Agenda program.
So who we got, John?
Who can we thank?
We got one executive producer and three associate executive producers for today's show, No Agenda 350.
350, that's right.
Which is a good number.
We've done a lot of shows.
Paul Gallagher, who's a new knight, he came in with the $111.11 donation.
He's from Singapore.
So based on the exchange rate, it actually cost him $43.10.
Beer money.
Can you send some karma to all the budding business builders taking part in the...
And he's got a website, which is jfdi.asia.
Which is one of those...
Slash startup.
Oh, no, no.
That's just jfdi.asia.
Right.
Is that a new top-level domain?
.asia?
Yeah.
Somebody paid big dough for that.
I guess it could be...
Anyway, startup weekends around Asia these few weeks.
Singapore last week.
Manila just over.
Melbourne up next.
I'll look into it.
Websites is there.
Go to jfdi.asia and see what our night is up to.
Let's get these guys some karma right now.
Very important.
You've got karma.
By the way, he sent in an additional note, John, which...
You have it?
Yeah, I have it here, which was an unbelievably beautiful note.
In the morning, Adam and John, he said, I have been wallowing in douchebaggery for too long.
Time to do my penance.
Give some value.
Times three.
And he lists what he's done.
So his donation, by the way, is at the bottom of the list.
But number one, some domain name forwards for you, dronesforjobs.com.
Now forward to noagendashow.com.
And this is the beauty.
He has put together for us, and this guy is talented, the No Agenda Attack Vector Dashboard.
And I want you to go to noagendadashboard.com right now, John.
Go to noagendadashboard.com.
This guy has really done some amazing work on this website.
So it is a dashboard of the No Agenda show.
It shows you the attack vector of our memes based upon each episode.
Ooh, neat.
And if you go down below, you select your meme.
So you take like two to the head and then boom, the graph shows you the attack vector of trends of the use of two to the head in the show.
He's got clips.
He's got the player on here.
It's a beautiful site.
This is pretty funny.
If you click Techno Experts, then there's a whole API. He has a JSON API for this thing.
If you click on the Book of Knowledge, even if you hover over it, it shows you Wikipedia, No Agenda Stream, the soundboard.
It's just unbelievably beautiful.
It's a great site.
It's one of the best ones I've ever seen, technically, with an API. We have an attack vector dashboard with an API. Now you're talking.
Vivek Kundra will be creaming himself if he heard that.
And it's in the cloud.
Of course.
So that's just beautiful.
So he said, I've open sourced the site itself, so if any other producers, listeners, want to help add features and prove the design.
If you hover over be a donor, not a boner, it comes up with a choice of three things.
Blankets, water, or just send cash.
We just need cash.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
And a donation.
When I was trying to decide how much I made the mistake of first thinking about how much I've spent on cable over the past year, secondly, how little value I actually got from it, so when I took the hours of high-value content you give me each week, It was a no-brainer.
I'm all in for $1111.11.
Hope this helps get you over your holiday patch and maybe with enough left over for Adam to buy some seeds.
Prada Life, Gitmo Nation, Little Red Dot.
Little Red Dot.
So, fantastic.
That's beautiful.
It's outstanding.
It's outstanding.
It's funny.
And he hit all the memes.
Value for value, everything.
This is the guy who gets it.
Deconstructing the deconstruction show.
Nice.
Nice.
All right.
We also have three associate executive producers, including Robert Clayson in London.
I think...
287.67.
Small contribution will increase my total accumulated givings to a straight 1,000, which I humbly ask to be de-douched.
You've been de-douched.
Hell yeah.
We'll be knighted later.
Sir David Dolson in Houston contributed to 23333.
John and Adam, it's been a while since I donated.
The Austin meetup being the last time.
Lately, I've noticed a drop in donations, and while listening to Thursday's show, realized that these guys aren't going to keep talking for free, and we all can't keep depending on Baron Von Pelsmockers to take up all the slack.
Please accept this donation on behalf of Tamara Davis toward her damehood.
P.S. My night ring made it through the washing machine without a scratch.
That's quality for you right there.
Without a scratch, no less.
Yeah, Ms.
Mickey actually, she sent, did you see that?
Ms.
Mickey sent the Baron a note.
I forwarded that to you.
Gene Naftuliev in Frisco, Texas.
$202.02.
I'd like John to pronounce my name Gene Naftuliev.
Recently unemployed and looking for karma for my new startup.
InterviewZap.com.
And Adam, glad to have you moving to Texas.
We are happy to have you.
Remember, you'll have 30 days to get a driver's license and 60 days to get a concealed carry license after becoming a citizen of the Republic of Texas.
Believe me, Miss Mickey and I are all in.
Yeah.
We're all in.
In Texas, get a concealed carry license.
You got to.
You got to.
And it's a no-brainer.
It's crazy not to in Texas.
Yeah, it's the equalizer.
That's why everyone's so polite in the traffic.
Yeah, after you.
After you.
That's true.
After you.
They're real polite in Texas.
Please, after you.
Nobody's messing with anybody at the bar.
So let me...
Anyway, that's all right.
Wait, he needs karma.
Wasn't it supposed to be karma?
Yes, karma for...
Yeah, he needs karma for StartupInterviewZap.com.
You've got karma.
And by the way, so last show we did, I don't want to do this anymore, by the way, and I'm sorry I did it in the first place, because karma, for some reason, whatever magic it has, one of our female donors asked for karma for the USC football team to beat Notre Dame, which I didn't think was even possible.
We did it kind of as a gag, and they did beat Notre Dame.
So that is the last karma for a sporting event we ever do, so that was that.
Because we're going to get busted for cheating?
No, I just think it's a waste of karma.
I agree.
I'm not a big fan of USC. It was a waste.
We wasted a good shot, like 30 mils of karma on that.
I can't believe it.
So, first of all, proof it works.
Well, proof Notre Dame stinks, if nothing else.
So anyway, that was that.
And that's our executive and associate executive producers for this show.
I want to thank them all.
We both want to thank them all.
And remind people to go to dvorak.org slash na, channeldvorak.com slash na, thenoagendashow.com and click on the donation button, or noagendanation.com and click on the donation button to keep the show on the road.
And you could also go to noagendadashboard.com, to the Attack Vector Dashboard, and hover over Be a Donor, Not a Boner, and make your decision there.
That's a little brain programming.
We do have a few PR mentions outside of, of course, No Agenda Attack Vector Dashboard.
Here's a nice little forward to noagendashow.com, which I'm glad we have it.
It may become valuable in the future.
ChelseaClinton2016.com.
Ooh, that's a good one.
That's a very good one, isn't it?
Yeah.
I like that.
An update from NoAgendaPhoto.com.
There's now tags for photos of NoAgenda peeps wearing NoAgenda t-shirts.
And there's also...
Oh, we have a tag now for Korea.
Yeah.
Noagenda.landmark.in slash Korea would show pics tag.
So this is part of our slave t-shirts that have been ordered from North Korea, which we're sending over there.
Yeah, we got these orders from North Korea.
We need to get some pictures from the...
So if anybody out there wants to see something interesting, and this revitalizes my interest in going to North Korea personally, besides the fact that we have obviously computer science students that are somehow getting through their firewalls to order these t-shirts that say slave...
Yeah.
Vice Magazine does documentaries that are probably some of the best anybody ever does anywhere.
And they're available, most of them are available for free on the Roku box.
And other, I think you can get it through, I think maybe even Netflix has them available.
Vice Magazine, that's what my daughter's going to work for them in January.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, Vice Magazine has taken it upon himself to start doing documentaries that are just extremely interesting.
But the one on North Korea, where the guy finds a way to get to North Korea, and the route he takes, by the way...
Is he a hiker?
No.
The way you go, there's a town in China near the North Korean border that has a North Korean embassy and you go in there and bribe them.
Right.
And they will take you to North Korea and you go into North Korea as a tourist and they do have tourism in North Korea.
In fact, the place is set up for it except nobody goes there.
So they take you to empty restaurants and empty waiting rooms and they take you on a bus and they haul you all around.
They take you to the Pueblo and then at the very end of your tourist visit, They take you to that great...
The biggest stadium in the world is in North Korea.
It's a soccer stadium.
It's huge.
It holds almost, I don't know, a couple hundred thousand people.
It's massive.
They do that dance and song and dance thing they do, which entails using 150,000 performers that do the most spectacular show on earth.
This is the one that the old Secretary of State under Clinton, that horrible whatever her name is.
I can't remember.
All right.
Albright.
She went to see and she came back gushing about it.
And when she came back gushing about it, the right wingers got all over.
But anyway, I want to see this thing.
But the methodology, there's a way to get into the country, it turns out.
It's a little convoluted but doable.
But that still doesn't get me my wine tasting.
Hold on a second.
I'm just putting something on Craigslist.
Wanted co-host for No Agenda show.
If you see this Vice magazine special in North Korea, you'll see some really great documentarians at work.
Finally, and these will be links that I will put actually in the body of the show notes, one of our producers made some dynamite stickers, some bumper stickers, which you can order from this sticker website, which is, let me just check this, makestickers.com.
And these are nice.
He has drone hits prohibited.
No Drone Zone.
And then he has a beautiful No Agenda bumper sticker with a QR code, which goes to noagendashow.com.
So pick up a couple of those stickers.
And you should look at the site, because it looks like a pretty cool site to make stickers.
And I think we've always been saying that that's a great PR initiative, and we need a lot more of that.
We need more people driving around with stickers and putting them on the tollbooth plaza.
So we thank our associate executive producers, David Dolson, Gene Naftuliev, and Robert Klason, and of course our executive producer, Paul Gallagher, for supporting the No Agenda program.
It's highly appreciated, as you know.
This is a non-commercial program, which is the only reason, well, it allows us to call Hillary Clinton Lady MacDeath.
So it's extremely important to keep our jollies on.
Everybody else out there, there is something you can do.
You can always propagate the formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
North Korea, are you with me?
Shout out, slaves.
Onward, New York.
Yes.
I did look at some more clippity-clop stuff, if you're interested.
Oh, I can't get enough of Lady MacDeth.
Lady MacDeth?
Yeah, Lady MacDeth.
We came, we saw, he died.
So Lucifer was...
Can you imagine saying that on CBS? She said it on CBS. No, saying Lady MacDeth.
Lady MacDeth?
Man.
Well, that would be the last time you're an analyst.
Yeah, you'd be begging for money.
So I think she's telegraphing stuff to us, John.
I think she's so full of herself that she doesn't even know what she's saying half the time.
She's in the bubble.
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's also that expecting parent thing.
You know, where you're all giddy and high on endorphins and stuff because she and Huma are about to give birth.
She's all freaking out about it.
That's why.
She's so happy.
And that's why she wants to quit, because she wants to be a stay-at-home mom.
Or dad.
A soccer mom.
John.
So she's in Islamabad.
And she's Islam of Pakistan and she is telegraphing things like nobody else's business.
She's using the memes, which means there's something afoot.
How do we tackle the problem of...
Improvised explosive devices that kill Pakistanis, Afghans, Americans.
So we had a very in-depth conversation with specifics, and we are looking forward to taking that conversation and operationalizing it over the next days and weeks, not months and years.
But days and weeks, because we have a lot of work to do to realize our shared goals.
So whenever I hear Obama or Lucifer talking about days, weeks, not years, not days, weeks, whatever, I'd be worried.
Because the last time someone said that, you know, we got a no-fly zone with carpet bombing.
So that, to me, is telegraphing something.
Now, there's massive troop buildup on the Pakistani-Afghan border.
Massive.
Yeah, but this is common.
But listen to how she describes what's going on.
In response to the legitimate concerns that we have heard from our Pakistani partners, we are trying to squeeze and prevent terrorists on the Afghan side of the border from attacking Pakistan.
Now, similarly, we need greater cooperation on the Pakistani side of the border.
In effect, we want to squeeze these terrorists so that they cannot attack and kill Any Pakistani, any Afghan, any American, or anyone.
We want to squeeze them.
And she makes this hand gesture.
We want to squeeze them.
What is she talking about?
We want to squeeze the terrorists.
We want to squeeze them.
Scary is what it is.
A scary individual.
We want to squeeze them.
It's not good.
She's telegraphing all kinds of stuff.
She's not done.
She is not done.
She wants her baby to be proud of what her mama has done.
Well, anyway...
I was watching...
I didn't get any...
It was funny because C-SPAN seemed to be just devoid of anything.
Yeah, it wasn't.
And I can't put my finger on it.
Even on the weekend, it wasn't anything interesting.
It repeats.
You've got to watch it because you're like, oh, this is good.
And then you see like, you know, 7-13 something.
Like, repeat, repeat, repeat.
So I've been watching...
Yeah, they're all old stuff.
So I've been watching PBS and...
You okay?
So I got it.
Here's an interesting synopsis on PBS. They bring on Brooks and Shields as their two analysts.
Brooks Shields?
Brooks Shields.
And Brooks, the New York Times guy's supposed to be representing conservatives or Republicans.
The other guy's supposed to be Democrats.
They're both the same guy, essentially.
But the analysis, the kind of wrap-up, Of Libya.
What happened in Libya.
And the misinformation.
This is like PBS's take on weighing in on Libya and giving us this...
It's just like...
It was befuddling, because it was like, I don't know any of this to be true, or anything that they say, it was not the way it was represented.
Yeah, I think clearly, and a pretty personal victory for the President.
You know, there were a lot of people within the administration, somebody I have great reverence for, Robert Gates, who was then at the Defense Department, didn't want to do it.
Many people, the Europeans, just wanted to do a no-fly zone.
And the president said, no, we've got to be more aggressive.
We've got to use air power and drones and everything else much more aggressively.
And we've got to do regime change.
We've got to use military means to topple the regime.
And he pursued that policy.
It took a little longer than he thought, but he pursued it well.
He made it so the U.S. was not the center of the policy, but Gaddafi and the Libyan regime was the center of policy, and they saw it through.
So I think, on the whole, this has been an extremely well-conducted policy.
Does that translate, Mark, into something that helps him in next year's election?
It was not a flawless policy by any means.
I mean, the constitutionality of it, I think, remains open to question.
He bet on the Congress being supine and just ignoring the War Powers Act.
And he was right.
The Congress was submissive, was docile.
It was not involved.
It took no responsibility.
And he went straight ahead.
And the widespread use of drones is still open to question.
I mean, was it effective?
Yes.
But, I mean, is it a...
A long-term strategy that is going to work well for the United States around the globe?
I think that's very much open question.
Well, I think what they're saying is exactly right.
But here's what's weird about it before you go on with that.
The first guy is supposed to be the Republican, and he's defending Obama and saying things that I never knew to be true, like, you know, the Europeans wanted a no-fly zone.
No, we wanted to do the bombing.
I thought it was a no-fly zone.
No, but that is what I was going to say, is Resolution 1970 and the follow-on 1973, specifically, remember I read the whole thing, and we discuss it here on the show?
Exactly.
And it was a no-fly zone, but at the very, very end, like Apple's terms of use, terms and conditions, it says, but we could do anything we want, really, if we feel like it.
That's kind of what it said.
So it was this whole big thing about no-fly zone, no-fly zone, And yeah, and Obama just went straight to the back and said, oh, I can do anything I want.
And then pulled it all out.
But the people, the people who paid for this and supported this, 50, 60 billion in total, which is stupid.
That's okay.
Whatever.
And then we take the fake news report as real.
Oh, these poor guys with their AK-47s and sandals.
We never saw a single drone attack anything on television.
The coverage was terrible.
And then we had Shields, who's the second guy who talked, who was supposed to be the Republican or the Democrat.
He's kind of critical of the fact that there was never a war resolution and Congress is a bunch of weenies.
They didn't want to have anything to do with it, so they just let the president act as an emperor and do whatever he wanted.
And he was also somewhat critical of the drone thing.
So I'm finding...
I'm finding first we have Bill Maher defending, you know, a continuation of Bush policies and thinking that's just great.
And we have the, I mean, it's just like these guys, they're scripts.
It's like somebody had the scripts for the different people and they were driving along and they were on the roof of the car and boom, they blew off.
And so they grabbed all the sheets of paper and just handed them out to everybody.
Nobody's got a concise message anymore.
One guy's on the one side.
I find the whole thing to be completely screwy.
Well, the only thing that's consistent here is the constant implantation of the word drone into the American psyche.
That's the only thing that's consistent.
It's like they're getting paid to say drone.
It's like, oh, oh, what?
Who, you said drone?
Oh, here you go.
There's a quarter for you in the pot.
Very good.
It's a Jerry Springer approach.
Yeah, just keep saying it.
Take off your shoe, you get ten bucks.
Yeah, just keep...
Oh, he said drone.
Very good.
There'll be a little extra in your paycheck today.
Well, if that's the case, play Mar Loves Drones.
Oh, wait a minute.
I'll expect a check in the mail.
Hold on a second.
Should I get number two lined up as well?
Yeah, you might as well.
Okay, here we go.
Especially since there are now such cheaper ways to do it.
I mean, since 2005, I think, the number of drone missions has gone up by something like 1,200%.
And for good reason.
You know, we can do it a lot cheaper.
It's cheaper.
We can get closer to the target.
And therefore kill less civilians.
They can stay up longer.
I'm sold.
I'm going down to the dealership tomorrow.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
It's time to play Win, Lose, or Drone.
Please say hello to your brand new celebrity spokesman for the drone program of the United States of Gitmo Nation.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
Bill Maher, come on down.
Win, Lose, or Drone.
And I've heard people say, you know, well, this is not good because, you know, this is like a video game.
Good.
Why is that a bad thing that it's like a video game?
I don't understand why it's a bad thing.
I know that the argument is, well, you know, makes us more likely to go to war if we don't have to, you know, risk our troops.
How could we be more likely to go to war than we've already been?
What generation in this country has not gone to war?
We have been able to project force beyond the human causing it ever since we had a catapult.
Yeah, yeah.
Thanks, Rachel.
There was a...
So these people, Rachel and Mara, are all for these drones because they kill civilians, but they kill less civilians.
It's much less.
Yeah, it's humane.
It's humane.
Because it's obvious if you're killing 20 people and 10 with the drone, it's better.
Well, listen.
So here's a report.
I think this was from the Gretchen thing show.
Carlson.
No, Gretchen.
Gretchen the lawyer on Fox.
Oh, Gretchen.
That's not Gretchen.
What's her name?
Now you got me confused.
Gretchen.
Wretchen Gretchen.
That's her name now.
It's Wretchen Gretchen.
Wretchen Gretchen.
And so there's this great report about the drones being used for the border, which, of course, last week's contestant on Win, Lose, or Draw, Rick Perry, called for.
He called for drones on the border with Arizona and Mexico.
So here's this guy, and he...
It sounds like he's a military guy, but he's not.
He's a contractor.
And this is a short clip.
He's a contractor supplying these drones.
They got three of them with another one on the way, because he knows, because he's supposed to deliver it.
But listen very closely to what he says about who's using the drones.
Nick Cascio is the Director of Air Operations for the Customs and Border Protection's Unmanned Air Surveillance Program here at Fort Wachu.
So, just so you know, that's a civilian.
It's not, you know, he runs the drones.
It's not an Army guy.
It doesn't have a uniform on either.
Arizona.
Director Gasio, you have quite an impressive airplane.
You have three of them, actually, here that we're seeing in the hangar.
Tell us about them.
Correct.
Here in Arizona, we have three MQ-9 Predator B aircraft with the expectation for a fourth delivery sometime in February.
We operate along the border from UMA, Arizona, all the way to the Big Bend area of Texas, and conduct nightly operations in support of the U.S. Border Patrol or other agencies that require our assistance.
Or other agencies that require our assistance.
Hello?
Wow.
Yeah, so we provide...
I'll repeat that.
Yeah, the Austin police.
Yeah, the CIA, whoever wants Austin police.
Uh-huh.
Come on, bitches.
I'm ready for you.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Let's shoot your drone.
I'm not afraid of your drone.
I got a concealed carry permit here.
I got a bazooka in my pocket.
So that's the whole thing.
It's a setup.
It's this total psychological warfare indoctrination, getting people comfortable with the idea.
And Bill Mark, my goodness.
You know, it's great, and the only thing I'm missing is the term surgical.
You know, the drones have surgical strikes.
But they gave up on that because it's not surgical at all.
It's kind of splattery.
It's like, you know, the thing is a clunker up there just throwing down a bomb.
Sorry, man.
It's Greta Van Sustrand is the name you were looking for.
Gretchen Gretchen.
You know what I think we should do?
Whenever we see one of these people like Bill Maher or Lady McDeth or Rachel Maddow, do you remember Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
Yeah.
Remember the...
The original one.
No, the Donald Sutherland one is what I'm talking about.
Oh, the newer one.
Yeah, well, it's the 70s.
At the very end, you know, it's whenever they're one of them, they go...
That's what you gotta do.
So here's what it's like.
Oh, hey, Bill Maher.
Just do that.
To all of them.
And just be crazy in front of them.
Yeah, well I have never seen Bill Maher and probably never will.
He lives in Los Angeles.
And I think it's a lot of work.
Yeah, and better just to sit at home.
Yeah, I'd rather sit at home and get clips.
Speaking of such, the Centers for Disease Control, you know, and it's a joke while it's a joke.
You know, all these organizations keep coming out with, ha ha, it's so funny, here's what you do when there's a zombie attack, ha ha ha ha, it's so funny.
Well, now the Centers for Disease Control has come out with their zombie comic, which teaches general emergency preparedness.
Have you seen this thing?
No.
Oh, it's like a 50-page comic.
You can download it.
And I'll read from the website.
Though the Centers for Disease Control doesn't ever expect to have to grapple with the undead or their virus-afflicted kin, its free downloadable comic, Preparedness 101 Zombie Pandemic, uses the fictional threat to remind readers of the importance of being ready for real-life disasters.
Prompted by the success of the CDC zombie preparedness blog launched in May, the new comic follows a young couple and their dog who stay safe and level-headed through a burgeoning zombie apocalypse by following basic CDC disaster preparedness instructions.
You know, everyone's joking, but I don't think it's a joke.
Seriously.
I'm looking at the comic book now.
By the way, it's a terrible comic book.
Everyone can laugh it off, but what happens if all of a sudden we actually have a zombie apocalypse?
And they'll be like, yeah, we didn't want to frighten you, that's why we kind of made it a joke.
I don't think it's that funny anymore.
I don't see that was funny ever, let alone any more.
How is it funny?
It's sick.
So on the last show, we played this public service announcement.
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.
And for themselves, their families, communities, and businesses.
Visit FEMA.gov for more information.
And for the coming zombie apocalypse may cause anal leakage.
Did you catch the date?
No, I missed it.
November 9th?
And?
That's a mirror of 9-11.
Just saying.
Just saying.
Because wasn't it, and we missed this, we missed this on Thursday, there was the Great California Shakeout Drill on Thursday, and lo and behold...
On the same day there was a quake.
Two of them, actually.
Under your butt, I might point out.
The second one was quite noticeable.
But it was in Berkeley.
Yeah.
That's like kind of where you live.
I'm just saying.
Coincidence?
I think not!
It's funny how that happens on drill days, isn't it?
The weirdness about the drill day and then happening is pretty off the wall.
You know, there was a big 7.1 like this morning in Turkey.
Well, so immediately I start looking at HAARP data.
Definite warming of the ionosphere in the past 24 hours in that region.
And the consensus amongst the conspiracy theorists, as are the circles in which I travel, is that this is an earthquake machine attack, and it is done specifically because Turkey invaded Kurdistan, northern Iraq.
You know, I never got to my theory about Iraq, why we're leaving.
You ready for it?
As ready as I'll ever be.
So, obviously, the military-industrial complex, they're not liking this.
Why do we have to do this?
Leon Panetta was...
I mean, it is a...
A very bold plan, I believe, to pull the troops out and before the last one leaves, there will be a massive false flag event.
Massive.
And this will be the impetus to pour more in or more contractors.
But I think it will be, see, you know, we left our embassy unguarded, not enough people.
I think it's a setup for a false flag attack.
It could be.
I wouldn't argue that that wouldn't happen.
Although I think we're going to have enough people there not to worry about it.
Turkey invades Iraq after Kurdish rebels killed 26 Turkish soldiers.
Yeah, big deal.
Turkey has, like, moved in en masse.
Yeah, Turkey sent troops and fighter jets into Iraq Wednesday in hot pursuit of Kurdish rebels who killed more than 25 Turkish soldiers in multiple attacks in the southern Turkish province of Hakkari.
It was the first cross-border violence in five years between Turkish troops and Kurdish guerrillas who, Turkey says, shelter in northern Iraq.
Relatively shallow earthquake.
I think three miles.
Relatively, but of course it was a big one.
7.1 on whatever the scale is these days.
Um...
I, you know, I tend to think that we're back on some form of warfare with the earthquake machines.
I didn't realize the Turkish president's name is Abdullah Gul.
G-U-L, kind of like the Stargate movie.
Gul.
The revenge will be tenfold, he says.
In the end, they will see nothing that can be achieved with arms.
In other words, they're going to kill 260 people.
Those who do that old style of, you know, you kill one of us, we kill ten of you.
Right, and then we flipped the machine and we did it times ten.
How many do they think 20,000 people died in the earthquake?
No.
Yeah, oh yeah.
I think it was like a thousand max.
Well, early reports, my friend.
Early days.
Early days.
But I think there's more going on.
This report also caught my eye.
A plunging satellite fell somewhere on Earth about five hours ago.
No word yet on whether any pieces of the German satellite actually hit land or what area it crashed near.
Now, during our 6.30 newscast, we showed you the satellite's track live as it looped around the Earth.
Scientists think the satellite traveled about 12,500 miles in its last half hour before hitting Earth's atmosphere.
According to its pre-calculated path, it probably would have hit above Asia near China, but scientists are waiting for witnesses to send in their observations.
Does anyone ever just for a second think, you know, maybe there's something going on and these things are being shot out of the sky and that there's some kind of warfare happening?
Well, if you haven't, I sat down over dinner with a satellite engineer who worked for one of the big satellite companies that control these things.
Oh, good, good.
You have some inside info.
And this is why we haven't heard about these things crashing to Earth all the time.
They carry a load of fuel and they have to be pretty much repositioned every, you know, at least almost once a month or more.
Especially the communication satellites because they're located in fixed spots.
Especially like the dish network, for example.
Once in a while you start losing the connection to the dishes.
Oh God, I think my dish, maybe it's getting loose.
And then all of a sudden you get great reception again because they move.
Reposition the satellite where it belongs.
They're doing this constantly.
And they keep enough fuel so when the satellite has to be taken out of service...
Now, by the way, I've gotten notes from people that say this is bullshit.
It's not what they do.
But this person assures me that's what at least their company does.
They shoot the thing into deep space.
They just turn it around and turn the jets toward Earth and then they jump, throw all the fuel in that they have left, the repositioning fuel, and it's gone.
And that's the end of it.
It's just, you know...
Well, then why are all these other ones crashing down?
Well, that's what you just suggested, which is more to it than that.
Because, in fact, if all these things weren't...
Because there's hundreds and hundreds of these things out there.
Yeah.
If these things weren't being shot into space to be destroyed, or if they're just little shallow, little dinky satellites that are on the...
Just barely in orbit.
Low orbiting, yeah.
We wouldn't be seeing all these things.
Ten years ago, there was almost as many satellites out there.
We weren't hearing them crashing to Earth every couple of days.
I mean, these things are crashing to Earth a little bit too much, it seems to me.
I think there's warfare going on up there.
And I'm on the Vandenberg Air Base launch list.
There's launches all the time, and it's always like a Minuteman, ballistic, non-nuclear test, nothing to see here, Minotaur, all these different...
We're shooting stuff up all the time.
And what do we know?
What do we know?
Not much.
Nothing.
No, nothing.
Nothing, honey.
Get out the Red Book, John.
By the way, my wife says that the Pacific Northwest, they've been seeing these things come crashing down.
And then there was a UFO spotting recently.
Apparently some object up in the Pacific Northwest is flying around.
Reports all over the place about it.
Yeah, well, that's because the Ascension is coming.
Uh-huh.
2012, my friend.
Save it.
You're going to go...
Red Book.
What were you going to?
Red Book, Red Book, Red Book.
Oh, I got it.
Okay, so we talked.
No sooner had we spoken about possibility for Marco Rubio to be a vice presidential candidate, then the guy gets attacked.
You know, about his family or some bull crap like that.
So I just wanted to give you props on that.
I think you're right.
I think the guy is definitely, he's now even being called Republican Vice Presidential Hopeful for the 2012 election.
So I think you're absolutely spot on.
And the reason for this is for the Latino vote.
And as we know, everything is show business.
And right now, I know that the Fox executives, Fox television, and movies are doing everything they can to bring in more Latino viewers.
That is the new audience.
The new target audience is young Latinos.
Yeah, the potential's quite high.
Today's New York Times, they have a slam, it's a minor one, but they put it on the front page.
Let me just read the headline and you get the idea.
Kane Now running as outsider, as opposed to...
He wasn't running as an insider before, was he?
No.
I love that he changed his plan to the 909 plan.
He's got a 909 plan.
Kane, now running as outsider, came to Washington as a lobbyist.
Yeah, and he was a Federal Reserve douche.
Yes, well, they don't bring that up.
That's weird.
They just bring up the lobbyist part.
From 1996, when he left the pizza company, until 1999, Mr.
Kane ran the National Restaurant Association.
John, John, hold on, hold on, John.
We have to have a meeting.
Come on.
Curry Dvorak Consulting Group meeting right now.
Hello.
Sit down.
John, these are the things we need to save until near the end of the television season.
We can't be letting these things out now, otherwise we have no ammo to surprise the audience.
That's why we don't want people to know that.
It has to come out a little bit later.
We slipped a bit on the Federal Reserve because of these damn Ron Paul kooks they were talking about and the Fed and that this guy shouldn't have done.
Quiet.
We have to bring this up in a later debate.
That's when it will be fun to pop that out.
You know, we did the little Romney thing with the people mowing his lawn, you know, the illegals.
That's what it's about.
Ratings, my friend.
Ratings.
Timing is everything.
Well, they got the ratings ready to go for the next of the next dozen debates, which these things are just kicking butt in the ratings.
Yep.
And everyone wants to see the next round because of the pushing and shoving that almost went on between Romney and Perry.
Perry seems to be the entertainment guy.
My prediction, of course, is that for the Democratic Party, well, both our predictions is President Obama will quit, although Valerie Jarrett is holding on to it very, very tightly.
She's now taking more center stage, I'm seeing, by the way, doing more interviews and stuff.
I hate that woman.
What does she do?
Why is she a spokesman?
She is the senior advisor to the president.
Why is she an advisor?
What has she ever done in her life that makes her the senior advisor?
Does she dress him?
I mean, has she done what socks to wear?
What kind of advising can she give?
The real answer is, of course, she's his handler as part of the MKUltra Project Monarch.
But I guess because she was a slumlord.
You know, she was on this thing.
I'm looking it up right now.
She's a slumlord.
Yeah, she's a slumlord in Chicago.
They had this thing called The Root.
Let me bring this up for a second.
The Root.
I don't know what The Root is.
I don't know if it's a magazine.
The Root's Cynthia Gordy.
What's The Root?
Like the root of my shaft.
I don't know, the root.
So, the root Cynthia Gore, this is on WhiteHouse.gov, discusses the Obama administration's The Pathways to Opportunity Report and the American Jobs Act with Senior Advisor to the President Valerie Jarrett and Domestic Policy Director Melody Barnes.
So, this will give you an idea, since you're questioning who this woman is.
She's dressed in a pantsuit with very, very spiky high heels.
And so she gets introduced by some suckwag.
Hello.
Welcome to the White House.
Hi, I'm going to suck up.
Welcome to you here with us, and welcome to those who are watching across the country.
And the universe.
I'm Mike Straubmanis, and I am Counselor to Senior Advisor to the President, Valerie Jarrett.
A great job.
And I want to welcome you to a special White House Open for Questions event with The Root.
Last week the White House released...
This was just giving you an idea of how important she is, how this guy sucks her.
It's a report called Creating Pathways to Opportunity.
To Persia.
A report highlighting the work that President Obama has done today to help Americans climb the ladder to the middle class and stay there.
The report outlines the critical investments this administration has made to lift and keep millions of Americans out of poverty, provide critical support to families throughout the economic downturn.
Get to the suck-up part, douche.
What is this, the root thing?
I don't know what it is.
Here.
Here in this White House.
And Melody Barnes, the director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, A woman who has been at the center of forging domestic policy.
You should see these women sitting there.
It's just like, ugh.
For this president and for this administration.
Now, before I hand things off to Valerie, Melody, and Cynthia, I want to give you a couple of important websites where you can find them.
Blah, blah, blah, whatever.
You guys, you should look this.
I'll put it in the...
I'm looking at theroot.com, which has a bunch of crap on here, trending topics.
It's got Cynthia Gordy's profile.
She's...
She looks like she's 12.
She looks like she's an intern.
She looks weird, yeah.
And there's a bunch of stuff about Danita Hill, again, which we talked about a couple shows ago, about how that's all bogus.
The trouble with transportation jobs.
Live tweet tonight.
The GOP debate.
I guess you can tweet.
I just noticed something.
Topics that are being discussed today.
Valerie Jarrett has a nice rack.
And I sure hope you'll check them out.
Now, let me turn it over.
He's hoping you'll check out her rack?
Is that what he said?
That's what he just said.
I heard it.
And thanks, Valerie Jarrett, Melody Barnes, and our audience with us today.
Washington reporter for The Root.
For The Root?
What is The Root?
It's apparently like a Huffington Post type of website.
Oh, okay.
You work for free and then Cynthia will be rich soon?
Is that the deal?
Yeah, well, you work for free and you write...
The root.
Oh, and the Washington Post is covering, the Washington Post has a sub-segment, Washington Post, The Root D.C. This is something we gotta look into, what this root thing is and why it keeps cropping up.
Does the Washington Post own it?
Someone owns it, The Root.
You can go to WashingtonPost.com slash TheRootDC and pick up some, I guess, a branch of The Root.
Anyway, Valerie Jarrett, she is the manager of the Chicago Mafia.
And she's the one that's kind of hanging on to everything and encouraging the president not to quit and saying, come on, Barack.
Come on, man.
She's everywhere.
Everywhere.
The president, wherever the president is, she is.
That's the piece I wanted to find for you.
The guy literally says, she's always in the room.
Always in the room.
Anyway.
Unimportant.
He's going to quit.
And I have asserted that I believe Gabrielle Giffords will emerge as the Democratic candidate.
Reporting from Politico, Representative Gabrielle Giffords hasn't signaled her 2012 intentions yet.
But the Arizona Capitol Times...
Thinks her campaign spending signals she's running.
Quote, her campaign spending nearly doubled in this cycle compared to the same time two years ago.
Between July and September, Giffords raised roughly $189,000 and spent more than half of it.
Her latest campaign finance report indicates a well-oiled fundraising machine.
Her campaign has at least three paid staffers and has paid thousands of dollars to fundraising consultants.
And this is despite the fact that the Democratic Party has signaled they want former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona to run for her open seat in Congress, right?
Yeah, in Congress.
So that tells me that there's a possibility I'm right.
Yeah, the possibility is pretty slim.
In fact, I mean, I know what you're saying and how it would work, but the congressperson actually getting into the White House without being a senator or a governor seems remote.
How about some guy who's just in Chicago who we never heard of all of a sudden becomes president?
Now, that wasn't remote.
But he did his due diligence, became a senator for at least a minute.
You can't do Congress and then become a president?
Who's the last congressman that ever became president?
It just doesn't happen.
The Root is an English-language online magazine of African-American culture launched January 28, 2008 by Henry Louis Gates and Donald E. Graham.
The Root is owned by the Washington Post Company through its online subsidiary, the Slate Group.
It's a black slate.
Ah!
Get it?
Fantastic.
Okay, let's talk about United States of Europe briefly, because this is the weekend where apparently Herr Merkel and Napoleon are supposed to work everything out.
And, of course, what Sarkozy wants is to have total control over the ESFS so that they can bail out the French banks.
And Angela is having nothing of it.
The signaling on Friday, the market in the United States, and this is more a Dvorak Horowitz thing, but I find it fascinating to follow.
The market signaled, and the euro, by the way, which is getting close to 140.
It's like 138, almost 139.
As you said, it's crazy how this is happening.
The markets were saying, looks like they're going to have a deal, but what I'm reading today, Charles Dallara, managing director of the Institute of International Finance, who has been leading the negotiation for the banks, told Associated Press, quote, we are nowhere near a deal.
So Monday will be very interesting because Monday will know what came out, or maybe even tonight, will know what came out of the little tea party they're having there in Europe.
And then Wednesday they're supposed to have a final deal, and otherwise it's like kapoof, right?
Well, it'll be interesting to see.
Well, no, I think they're in the process of stalling.
So they will set up another meeting.
Another?
Oh, no.
Another meeting?
They're going to be stalling and stalling and stalling because the fact is that once they repatriate all those euros, which they're doing by running the price of the thing up.
Right, right.
It's just a matter of time for this whole thing to cave in.
And when it goes, it's not going to...
I'm telling you, this is a disaster in the wings, waiting.
Waiting to come on stage.
Well, the problem is that the Italian bonds are not...
We have Greece running at, what did you say, 188% return?
It could be higher by...
It could be higher by...
The Italian bonds are now at 100%.
And Italy has a 2 trillion euro deficit.
And that's the problem, is they're looking at half a trillion, like 460 billion or something.
They need 2 trillion.
And it's just not there.
So I don't see any other way but down.
And it's either down or sweeping austerity measures across Europe.
The public will not, those Europeans will not put up with that crap.
They won't stand for it.
I know.
Because they were promised, promised, promised.
Yeah.
Blood on the streets.
You can't be prompted.
This is the problem.
In fact, one of the, which I'll have a clip for in the next show, because it needs more, I need to extract.
These long clips are getting on my nerves, so I'm looking for shorter.
Doesn't get on my nerves.
I love it.
And the book, what was the name of that book this guy just wrote?
Michael Lewis' newest book.
He talks about the fact that these guys are essentially running on fumes, and he points out that it's going to be a countrywide thing in the United States of Europe.
But it's essentially going to be a city-based thing in our country because our states are secure enough.
And he points out the city of Vallejo, which went bankrupt a couple years ago.
And there's a number of other cities in California that went bankrupt.
And he cites that they're all...
Going bankrupt because of these promises they make to public workers.
First, they give them way too much money for a public job.
I mean, the public sector is making more money than the private sector, which is not right.
It's supposed to be a fallback because of the security.
Isn't something like 40% of the jobs in America are now government-related jobs?
Isn't it something crazy like that?
I don't know if the number's that high, but it's really high.
And then they promise them these huge benefits, especially retirement benefits, so people can retire in Greece at 50 and so on.
And the numbers aren't there.
You can't balance the budget.
And this is all over Europe.
It's just impossible.
This whole thing is, I'm telling you, this is going to be...
Six months from now, we're going to be...
We may not be here!
We have our supporters, thank goodness, because I don't know if you can get a job in six months.
Oh, man, I'd hate to have to go get a real job.
No, our people will keep us going.
Luckily, we have an international audience.
Government employment ranges in D.C. 38%.
Yeah, that would be the max, because D.C. is a government town.
Well, I have the numbers.
Let's see.
D.C., 38%.
Alaska, 31%.
Let's see what California...
Southern California, 20%.
Let's see.
Nevada, 20%.
What's another big state that's important?
Nevada's definitely not one of them.
Try New York.
New Mexico.
New York is not on this list.
This is 2010, by the way.
There's no New York on there, so I guess it's low.
But Florida, 15%.
It's all double digits.
So, oh, here it is.
The U.S. Postal Service is the nation's top federal employer, accounting for 23% of government jobs across the country.
Wow.
Wow.
You know, that's messed up.
When they say bigger government, I think that's what really is what people are talking about.
It's not just about politicians.
You know, wow.
We need to get us some of that government cheese, brother.
We need to get on board with that gravy train.
I think the consulting company could probably get a couple government contracts.
Hold on.
Here I have government workers.
I have Delaware, 17.
New Jersey, 19.
Can I get to New York here?
Where's New York?
It's funny.
So if one, let's just say on average, one out of five people Work for the government.
So you have...
And one out of five people work for the government.
One out of five people are unemployed.
Let's be realistic.
It's 20% plus.
New York, 19%.
There you go.
Okay, so one out of five works for the government.
One out of five is unemployed.
And the three people left over are paying for both of those other two guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So three people are paying for five people.
That doesn't make a lot of sense.
Even I can figure that one out.
Well, at some point, especially since wages have been falling and the middle class has been disappearing, the people that pay for those two, for the unemployed fifth and the government-employed fifth, which is essentially a welfare job in most situations.
Not all, but a lot.
You know what?
This segues nicely into Occupy Wall Street.
Because I started a little initiative yesterday.
Before we get into it, I think we have to look at an overall view of where the media is telling the idiotic slaves what's going on.
Fox has gone completely, completely off the rails on this.
Have you noticed that at all?
Oh, this started weeks ago.
I saw it from the beginning.
It's gotten really bad.
This is becoming my protesters are better than your protesters.
If they were Tea Party, Tea Party is okay, but these people are not.
I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous.
And Fox is really noticeably running with an agenda.
When you hear this story, not only will it blow your mind that the story they're running, but they go right, it's Fox and Friends or something.
Not that I watched this, but of course I've sent clips.
Noagendanewsnetwork.com.
They turn around and in the span of two minutes they start repeating the story as the headlines.
That was the story.
Now let's go to the headlines.
Here's the story.
And it's the same story.
Meanwhile, we have to tell you this crazy story from the...
This crazy story?
Crazy.
Crazy.
By the way, she's sitting on that...
The way they have that Fox and Friends couch, you're looking in her crotch all the time.
Gretchen.
Is that Gretchen?
No, it's not.
This is another woman.
No, that's blonde, right?
No, no, no.
This is another one.
This is a standing.
Yeah, Gretchen, I think, was getting her bits repaired with the MKUltra project.
And so they brought out a new presidential slave.
But she's last year's model.
You buy Wall Street.
Gang, there is a Florida mother of four children.
Two weeks ago, she left her family and her husband in Florida because she felt motivated and compelled to come up to occupy Wall Street.
She has been there for two weeks, only talked to her children who are 17, 15, 13, and 7.
She only called home three times.
She says she feels like she's in the military on an assignment fighting for her country.
Here's what she says about it.
I'll take a listen.
Cut to the street interview.
I do have a community of friends that, like, I put a plea out on Facebook asking them to support me so that I could be here.
And they stepped up and a lot of them said, yeah, I'll help you, just let me know what I can do.
I'm planning on staying until the end, whenever that may be.
I know that my kids are okay, and I know that this is where I need to be right now, and there is...
I want to reiterate what Allie mentioned.
This 38-year-old Hessler, mother of four, says, military people leave their families all the time, so why should I feel bad?
I'm fighting for a better world.
That is more disgusting than any of the filth down there in Wall Street.
The filth!
The filth!
You dirty scum!
Filth!
Filth, I tell you!
This is disgusting!
Rat turns!
Who has some, apparently, some...
Some conscience about whatever.
She goes down there and this is disgusting that she would go to a protest.
She has four kids and she's abandoned them.
She has four kids, one that's 17 year old who doesn't want to see her anyway.
Filth!
Filth, I tell you!
You just gotta listen to the rest.
It's crazy.
What she's doing with military service?
Joe Biden would be embarrassed by that.
Her husband also...
That's a good line, by the way.
He works for a bank?
He's a banker.
Right.
Her husband's a banker.
He's not.
He left Citibank for a community bank, which is a little different, but it's okay.
Why not just protest at home?
Maybe she has been.
Right, maybe that's part of the problem.
Her husband's banker used to work at Bank of America and now works for a local bank in Florida.
She's clearly having a midlife crisis.
A midlife crisis.
That's clearly.
They're filthy when they have midlife crises.
...of some sort to leave your kids.
And she says that she doesn't plan to go home.
Now here comes an interesting thing.
They swing it over to the statistics.
Actually, she's going to stay there for the duration.
Good.
Let us know what you think about that.
Friends at FoxNews.com is how you can weigh in on all of this.
A new AP poll out this morning says that over 50% of Americans do not support the Wall Street protests.
Here's a take a look at this poll.
37% say yes.
No.
56% who don't know 7%.
Interesting about this poll.
I read about a dozen articles on that poll.
None of them had that 56% number.
You had to do a lot of research to figure out how many people don't support the movement.
The lead in all of them was the 37% of the country.
Now, this is very interesting because it is true.
I saw the 36% number everywhere.
People saying, hey, there's support, there's support.
And I believe if...
If our theory is correct that the same people run both the left and the right networks and the Democrats run Fox News, they're just setting us up again to divide us into camps.
The Fox News watchers, the MSNBC watchers, the CNN watchers, they're just messing with their mind.
Because these guys, they absolutely turn it around.
This is with statistics.
Where all these publications are saying 36% say, good, we love it, hey, there's a growing number, it looks great.
And then Fox turns it around and says, no, people hate it, it's more than 50% they hate it.
The country does support Occupy Wall Street.
The Washington Post, that's the lead, 37% support, and there's nowhere where it says the number that doesn't support it.
Even when the majority does not.
We will talk more about what's going on at Wall Street as soon as we can.
Now listen to this.
Listen to this.
This is fantastic.
Thanks, Maria.
Well, listen to this story.
A lot of you were weighing in this morning on an email and Twitter on this.
A Florida mom, her name...
They went straight on to the story again.
They went, this is the same story?
They just discussed it.
They just did it.
And why are they just reading it off the prompter, paying no attention, like it's a news story?
Here's the headlines.
Florida, mom.
Well, this is what it is, because they know that people are so zombified.
Wow, that's really bad.
I think it's borderline unprofessional.
Meanwhile, there's one guy who we brought up on the last show who lays it out so eloquently.
This is Dylan Rattigan, again.
The outlier from, what is he, he's on MSNBC? He's on MSNBC. He brought him in when Cable Town took over the network.
What is Cable Town?
Comcast.
Oh, that's Cable Town, is that what it's called?
Well, that's what it's called on the 30 Rock show, and everyone calls it Cable Town now.
Well, what do you think?
Because he was the guy that had Imogen on and where the signal got blocked as she was harping about the drones.
By the way, that's Imogen Lloyd Webber.
Turns out that's Andrew Lloyd Webber's kid.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she's an activist.
So why do you think that...
Because this guy, and you'll hear it in a minute, is definitely saying the right things, and he's spot on.
Why do you think they're bringing him in?
Is there a reason?
Because when Cable Town took over NBC, NBC was very left-leaning because Immelt was running the show, and he's the one that's Obama's good buddy, so he takes orders.
And so they pushed this liberal agenda on all the stations, and the Cable Town guys, they're not politically the same.
So they want to have a little more balance on MSNBC, so they've kind of brought in this Dylan Rattigan guy.
Play that clip.
It can't last.
And yet another breach of fairness, which is platinum citizenship, as advocated by Tim Geithner and his predecessors.
Everybody else.
So the Tea Party shows up and they say, this is nonsense.
We're not doing this.
Now the Tea Party, that energy, that upwelling of energy, that rejection of that unfairness, rapidly became a political vehicle for all sorts of interests that had nothing to do with what the Tea Party started on.
And you don't have to look any further than the Tea Party's refusal to actually engage the banks.
And I'm sitting here as an anchor at MSNBC. I'm like, oh man, when the bank reform comes, the Tea Party's going to be on their throats.
There's no way they're going to be able to get away with this Tea Party.
Nowhere.
Nowhere.
And so you get this first rejection of Tea Party.
Then you also have the Obama wave, which is, Obama's going to fix, President Obama will fix this.
Senator Obama will become President and he will fix this.
Didn't happen.
I believe the occupation is like the third wave.
Think of it like sets of waves of energy or hands at a blackjack table.
The origins of the occupation, which I don't know, I don't know if anybody will ultimately know, I think are less...
For me, are less relevant than the energy of the rejection of unfairness that is being continued to be expressed either through the support of President Obama and his candidacy, which was the perception that that would fix it, the emergence of the Tea Party before it was co-opted, and now the Occupy movement, which honestly, if history is any indication, the Occupy movement won't go anywhere either, by the way, but you will continue to see waves of rejection of unfairness because the world is so transparent now that everybody can see it.
Everybody knows the problem.
The problem is our government is bought.
The Democratic Party is bought.
The Republican Party is bought.
That's not an opinion.
Remember, 94% of the time, this is a fact, 94% of the time, the candidate who raises the most money wins.
That is not a democracy.
That is an auction.
I love it.
It's an auction.
He's absolutely dead on it.
We've pointed out before, people who listen to the show for a while, that Dylan Rattingham, a guy caught him when he first started doing it.
My jaw dropped about it, and the only explanation is obviously Comcast Cable Town.
But he's got it dead on.
The Tea Party co-opted by Dick Army and the Tea Party Express and all the rest of it.
Co-opted.
Obama co-opted by the insurance companies and by whoever.
And now this group is obviously getting co-opted in one way, shape, or form.
So what I did, I let up a little trial balloon yesterday.
Because I'm thinking...
Yes, it's going to be co-opted.
But I came up with an idea.
It happened at dinner the other night.
It turns out it's not a new idea.
It turns out that Max Keiser, who actually tweeted me and said it was great and everything, and I like Max Keiser.
I think he brings credibility to anything.
In 2009, he came up with this idea.
So I started a website, OccupyCoke.com.
And if you go to OccupyCoke.com, you'll see that what I'm essentially saying is, if you want to have some true power in this Occupy movement, the only thing you have to do is move the markets.
Because that will get people's attention.
Because we know the corporations own the politicians and Wall Street is their pimp.
That's the problem.
That's what everybody is saying.
So all we have to do is take this very simple product, which we don't need, which is Coca-Cola, stop drinking it, And start the Occupy Coke or Occupy Coca-Cola movement.
Just target one company, one company that really isn't necessary.
We do not need to drink Coca-Cola, even though every single person on the planet, according to their own website, has 89 servings of their product per year, 1.7 billion servings.
And this is not about, you know, I don't give a shit about corporations that are successful.
This is not about companies that are evil.
I don't care.
But if the Occupy movement can show...
That by threatening that we're not going to drink Coke, we're stopping, we're not consuming your product, the stock price will go down.
And as Max Keiser pointed out in 2009, which I have the video up on the website as well, when the hedge fund managers get a hold of it, when they sniff it, they'll start shorting it, and it can really take a stock down from what is now 68, you know, take it down 20 points.
That would be true power.
And then what would it accomplish?
I think what it would accomplish is fear.
Because, you know, people standing out there with signs, being marginalized by mainstream media, no one gives a crap.
And no one has a message.
So if the message was, hey, we're going to take corporations down one by one, I think that fear would propagate.
You have to be on your sixth or seventh corporation before anybody would take it seriously.
But, John, I'm not arguing.
And to stop drinking Coke is impossible.
These people are addicted to it.
So I'm not going to argue that.
I'm just saying if no one even, and it was more important to me the responses that people gave, which like, oh, that's a stupid idea.
You'll put 100,000 people out of work.
That's not going to help.
It shows me that this movement is completely bogus.
There's nothing to it.
You've been saying that since the beginning.
I know, but I had a little faith.
I had a little...
I really like...
It's a good idea.
You know, we have the power to stop consuming.
You know, it's gotten to the point...
First of all, we've been brainwashed.
Even when you have your dinner, you see that happening.
But a couple of things that are kind of interesting.
This group of protesters in the Occupy are such sheep.
I mean, they won't applaud anymore.
They do these little hand signals for applause and this.
Up, down, yeah.
They hold their hands up and they wiggle their fingers and they hold their hands down and they wiggle their fingers because someone was arrested for clapping.
So it's now illegal to clap in a public assembly in New York.
So they dreamed up this little roundabout kind of bypass.
And it's one thing after another.
They can't have megaphone.
So they do this stupid thing.
So they look essentially made to look like monkeys.
Yeah.
Because they don't have the gall to throw a brick through the window.
Because, oh God, that's not good.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
It's unbelievable how much bull crap they put up with.
And it's essentially, if you really look at it, it's just a way of getting...
Obviously, it's just a social thing.
It's just like, let's go meet at the event and maybe we won't get our heads crushed or we won't get arrested.
And it's great for promoting your book.
And if you're an idiot like Michael Moore who wants the fall of capitalism and he's got a book to sell, he'll show up.
So I think Dylan Rattigan is right on the money.
Bravo, and I'm glad it's out there, although of course no one watches MSNBC. And he's on at some hour that is just, he's on some death knell hour.
And then there was the...
They have him there and it's interesting and the clips are great.
And someone put together some producers like, we've got to make this look really global, man.
Let's see if we can spread it to Hillary's techno experts put together a video about Occupy Wall Street in Iran.
And they got, like, five Muslim women, you know, wearing scarves and stuff, holding up pre-made signs, like, Wall Street, capitalism down.
And here's the report.
The Occupy Wall Street movement has now spread to Iran.
Dozens of students gathered in front of the Swiss Embassy in Tehran today, calling for an end to capitalism.
They chanted anti-US slogans and set fire to an Israeli flag.
Yeah, and that was real.
That was not at all orchestrated.
I totally believe that.
I really believe it.
And then Brzezinski was on Morning Joe.
Now Brzezinski is, uh, what's the girl's name?
Milika?
Minika?
Mookapa?
Mookapa?
Yeah, Mookapa.
That's the one we'll use.
Mookapa Brzezinski.
And she has her dad on.
It's like, ooh, dad, baby, baby.
Hi, dad.
And Brzezinski, of course, is, I truly believe, one of the people orchestrating a lot of this.
According to your theory, he's the root of all evil in the world.
Yeah, he is the root.
He is the real root.
Not that phony Washington Post blog.
This guy's the root.
And he's instigating an incredible amount of violence, which, as you and I assert, is what they want.
They want violence.
They want people to revolt and start swinging wildly, because then you can implement more police state, lock people up.
Drones.
Drones.
And here's what he had to say, and I was...
Literally blown away by what he is calling for.
By the way, I love the way he talks.
An even larger number of people who massively enriched themselves over the last decade.
Incredibly so.
To the degree that we now have this highly disproportionate social divisions between the rich and the poor.
And I think they should be made non-publicly.
Public pressure, public condemnation, public shame can be very effective.
Public shame.
Yeah, yeah, he's talking about publicly shaming rich people.
In other words, take the Kleiner Perkins.
They already know who they are.
Well, no, he's saying that they don't know.
Yeah, there's good people like Warren Buffett.
You're in Hillsborough.
Good people like Warren Buffett who give back to the community, but we have to shame the rest.
When it comes to Congress, I think Congress has to realize the fact.
That the financial economic system cannot operate autonomously.
And in secrecy in many cases.
That we have to have disclosure.
We have to have transparency.
And we have to have control.
So more control over the banks.
More control over the hedge funds particularly.
More control over earnings.
We must have control over everything.
More control over earnings.
What kind of a fascist is this guy?
Listen to him.
I think he's more control.
We need more control.
And this is on Fox and they're lapping it up?
No, this is MSNBC, Morning Joe.
Oh, is this on MSNBC? With my daughter Mukaba.
Mukaba.
And they're lapping it up.
It is fantastic.
More fair distribution of social responsibility.
Yes.
Through taxation and the elimination of loopholes.
Yes, we must tax more people, have more control over everything.
As I wrote in my book, The Grand Chess Board, this is exactly what we want.
And pressure even on the rich to avoid flaunting their wealth.
Stop flaunting your wealth, Paris Hilton.
No, I want to expose you.
We must occupy Paris Hilton.
The way some of them do.
This guy in you, when you do this voice, which you sound like him, this sounds like triumph.
The dog that...
For me to poop on!
For me to poop on!
People who have huge new yachts, because that's become a symbol of wealth.
Look, you have a huge yacht!
For me to poop on!
For me to poop on!
Wait a minute, how do I do it?
Let me tell you about these yachts.
This is really disgusting.
I'm struck how often...
These people who made all this money in America have on the back of the boat their registration.
Cayman Islands, British West Indies, some obscure island in the Pacific.
Now doesn't that tell you something about their taxes and their financial arrangements?
I think public disclosure by the mass media could go a long way towards a social awakening that's responsible and constructive in its effects and doesn't produce a stupid, counterproductive witch-hand.
Yes, we must expose all of their wealth and their people who are not paying taxes.
And Paris Hilton, you stop flaunting your wealth or I will poop on you.
To me, and yes, they were lapping it up.
Oh, Mr.
Brzezinski, yes.
I know I received an award, but I'm just humbled.
I'm very, very humble.
I'm very, very old.
I'm just an old guy.
I'm not in control of anything.
It is the control that we must take, get rid of.
Congress must shame these people so we can poop on them.
It's bad, right?
Well, here's one thing I know.
Unbelievable.
Yeah.
The fact that this guy, the guy has his nerve.
He's a reptile.
He looks pretty good for 150.
Yeah, he's probably taking, he's injecting babies' fetuses into his bloodstream in Switzerland.
I'm going to show myself the mood by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be crap.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
Ha ha.
Yeah.
So we have a bunch of $111.11 people we want to thank for this show, $250.
Yeah, that's right.
$11.11 is coming up.
Big day.
$11.11 is coming up.
Please get on board.
$11.11 is coming up.
And then $11.11.
We've got a double shot of 11s, everybody, right here on the No Agenda in the Morning Show.
At the top of the list, though, Stuart Allen, who just came in over the transom as a check, for $111, without a note, because it came from a bank, $111.43.
Okay.
Good try.
Whatever.
Colin Clayton, Edmonton, Alberta, $111.11.
Love the show.
The one...
This is the one show I look forward to twice a week.
I've been a listener for a while, even though I own three challenge coins I haven't donated.
Here's my first donation.
I've been looking for a better job recently so I can use this shot of karma.
Alright, let's hit him with that right now.
There you go.
You've got karma.
He's got a Twitter address, C.W. Clayton, and he wants to hear from people in the Edmonton area to meet up with a club up there.
We also have noagendameetup.org, I think it is.
Yeah, noagendameetup.org, and Twitter's at C.W. Clayton.
Davis C. Pew in North Canton, Ohio, $111.11.
Gregory Laudrup, Sir Gregory Laudrup, I'm sorry.
North Hills, California, $111.11.
John and Adam, keep up the media assassination.
Can I get a birthday call out?
We will do that in a minute.
For Chelsea, his niece, he'll be celebrating her 25th.
Thanks for using the PayPal mobile app.
Oh, he sent using the PayPal mobile app.
You fell for the marketing message.
I can't believe it.
Yeah, I did.
John Harrison.
I'm no different than anyone else.
John Harrison, Pinehurst, North Carolina, $111.11.
Michael Greer.
Greer.
This is Miss Mickey and I stayed at their house in Chick-Shinney, Pennsylvania with their lovely dogs and their lovely log house.
And we had a big meet-up.
It was great.
Log houses are great.
$111.
John and Adam, as my wife and I celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary this year, I discovered that the year of our wedding, 97, plus the number of years we've been married, equals $111.
Oh, no!
Thought certainly this must be a sign and karma is on our way.
We deserve a de-douching as we're long-term listeners, but sadly only first-time donors.
Give them a de-douching karma combo.
Absolutely.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
And for his wife, Sarah.
That's one mother I'd like to.
I had a fantastic, or we had a fantastic experience during the Hot Pockets Tour, hoping Hot Pockets might find its way back to the East Coast.
I do, too.
Especially as our dogs miss playing fetch with Adam and Miss Mickey.
Thanks for the knowledge and critical thinking you've brought to our lives.
I hated it when I kept throwing Mickey in the air for the dogs to fetch.
You know, at a certain point, they just got tired of it.
Yeah, I would think you'd get old fast.
Go Fetcher!
Go Fetcher, boy!
Robert Goschko in Sherwood Park, Alberta, $106.83.
John Danmere's my top-up amount to make my total donations to $111.11 to all the boners out there.
He wants to call them all douchebags for not donating.
Douchebags!
Anonymous and parts unknown, $100.
He's got just a thank you for years being put in.
For all the work we do to help slaves like him, I'd like to contribute more.
As I see your show is the only reliable source of information in this troubled world of ours, but unfortunately I'm currently working graveyard shifts for minimum wage.
But he still had enough time to give us $100, which is very thoughtful.
Very nice.
Aaron Moreno in Covina, California, 8888.
John and Em, last episode, my fiancée Nadine Zanotti, the Frenchie.
Yeah, the Frenchie.
Donated and asked for special karma for USC, my alma mater.
Yearly gridiron clash.
We're not doing that again, by the way.
I don't want any requests for karma for a football team.
Despite John's assertion that USC, that miserable team she roots for, that's what I said, Had no chance and that the karma would have no effect.
We had no problem beating the overrated and favored Irish by 14 points in honor of the victory.
I'm donating $88.
Well, maybe we will do this again.
Yeah, I think it's not a bad plan, actually.
Well, it's at 88 cents.
Four eights for the eight years in a row we've beaten John's alma mater, Cal.
Thank you very much.
I would appreciate a shot of karma for my brother who's celebrating his third year of sobriety today.
Keep up the good work and fight on.
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
You've got karma.
Congratulations on that, bro.
And we've got Carol Ranson in Christchurch Canterbury.
My odometer ticks over to 40 on the 26th, so here's a dollar per year apiece.
In support of the show, please, can I get a shot of Get Laid Karma for this weekend?
All right, buddy, here you go.
Get laid!
You've got karma.
What the hell was that?
What was it?
Donation of 80.
David Warner, Durham, North Carolina.
Double nickels on the dime in the morning.
Jen started listening again a few weeks after dropping out during the early episodes.
Love what you're done with the show.
Great to see Adam delving deeper into memes beyond that old folder scruncher bit.
Not sure what that means.
Well, there are two types of people in the world.
People who scrunch their toilet paper and people who fold their toilet paper.
And I'm betting you're a scruncher.
Huh.
Although I don't agree with all your points, I actually prefer to take the train to the northeast or flying or driving up there.
I enjoy your...
Well, yeah, if you had a short route, try taking one to Los Angeles.
I enjoy your insight and your demolition of corporate media.
Long may it continue...
I'd like to get a podcast license for my own music podcast, Dave's Lounge, which has been unlicensed for the last six and a half years.
Oh, no.
Oh, boy.
That's dangerous.
Still keeping calm and carrying on.
I'd like to ask for two shots of karma, one from my friend Emily, who's been unemployed out in California for the last year or so and long since, again...
To live the American dream of just getting by and one for me as I attempt to refinance my house with my credit union and get my mortgage away from Bank of America.
Good luck.
Adios, mofos.
Here's some karma for you.
You've got karma.
We don't do double shots, so just time to time.
It goes a long way.
Victor Cintron in Running Springs, California.
I need karma to get a new house and for my horrible divorce.
Send a hello to all the U.S. Navy corpsmen all over the world.
All right, here you go, Navy boys.
You've got karma.
John Critchley in Forch.
Or Forsh.
It's near Zurich.
It's Forsh, huh?
According to JD. Uh-huh.
There it is again.
In celebration of our BCM test weekend, previous time, it was the first donation after listening to Curry since the DSC was in double digits.
You only got...
I was in Forsh.
According to JD, it's near Zurich.
Hoping to...
This is like one sentence.
I can't read it.
Hoping for something positive before my pay cut kicks in.
He needs a karma desperately.
You've got karma.
And we have $50 donations from Greg Stearley in Santa Monica and John Lake in Sacramento and Paul Vela in Tauchester, Northamptonshire in the UK. And also we have one kind of miscellaneous karma call out for a student who wants to get a better grade in algebra.
This is Andy Bilbray from Chandler, Arizona.
Bilbray, yeah.
Yeah, so...
Could really use the karma to get me through my algebra class.
He's a 33-33 donor, so he falls under the level, but we like to pick stuff up when we can.
Need all the help and good karma I can get to pull off a decent grade in this class.
Long-time listener, first-time donor.
Please help.
Your show helps me get through an otherwise boring work week.
So he's working and...
And going to school.
Hey, hey, here's to living the American dream, my friend.
Just getting by.
You've got karma.
Nice.
And that wraps it up for this week.
That will wrap it up.
You should go to dvorak.org slash nachannel, dvorak.com slash na noagendashow.com.
Hit the donation button or noagendanation.com.
Hit the donation button or buy a slave t-shirt.
A small portion of that goes to the show, so we'd appreciate hitting the donation button.
Only a small portion?
We must expose them.
We must shame these people who are taking our money and blatantly flaunting that they are slaves.
Go to...
So I can poop on you.
Thank you all very much.
And of course, we have two 11-11-11s coming up.
11-1-11 and 11-11-11.
These are magical numbers.
11-11-11 is actually a big number because as I'm doing the show on that Thursday, the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center will be literally deconstructed around me.
As the idea is the movers come in and they'll take, it's like the old Jackson Brown song, you know, it's just like make sure you got everything all loaded up and good to go before you come for my piano.
Because the studio will be the last thing to go after the show.
You have a piano?
The studio will be the last thing to go, and we'll pack that up, and then the truck goes, and Miss Mickey and I will hop.
We're actually driving out east.
We're driving to Austin, taking the Range Rover, the 1999 Beast, and that'll be it.
And then we're off to Austin, and then I will do one show from a hotel.
Pre-911 car without a tracking device.
Oh, yeah.
There's a couple other things it doesn't have.
Like a radio.
I hope it has an air conditioner.
Well, I've got to get this fixed.
The problem with...
See, these cars weren't built for this type of weather.
And the fuse box, which these days is not just fuses, it's relays.
It gets so hot that the actual fuse box itself melts, and then the relays don't sit properly.
So you have to jiggle them, and then the air conditioner works, but then it melts again.
So I have to spend $300, and that's without the labor, to get a new box installed because these stupid British...
The Brits know nothing about electronics.
The car's okay.
When it comes to, like, the radio doesn't work, the sunroof doesn't work, you know, the air conditioner's dropping out.
Crap!
Hello, Lucas!
Lucas?
One of the big auto electronics companies out of England.
Oh, man, this sucks.
I mean, that'd be Lucas.
The Saab is, I'm going to drive it over Mulholland Drive and crash it and fake my death.
Okay.
Because the Saab, I have to say, it's running like a champ.
But you should just take the Saab and sell the other car.
You're never going to get it fixed in Texas.
No, I'm going to have Hovic fix it before we go.
I got to.
I got to do it.
You know, Mickey was like, yeah, why don't we go lease a car?
I'm like, no, I'm not leasing a car ever again in my life.
I'm not going to do that.
We're taking this car, and we'll drive it until it's dead.
What about the Saab?
Well, if Christina gets her license, I'll leave it here, and otherwise I'm selling it.
Hey, darling.
Are you pissed off?
What's up?
Oh, you love me?
Oh, I guess Mickey was laughing about the get laid karma.
Put yourself in an envelope and FedEx yourself to the guy, honey.
30 second delay.
All right, anyway, so programming low, right?
Hey, now, hey, now.
Gregory Lundrup says happy birthday to his niece Chelsea who celebrates on the 25th.
That's in two days from now.
And Carl Ransom congratulates himself turning 40 on the 26th.
The big 4-0.
Happy birthday everybody from your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
Yes!
And we're very happy to be able to knight a couple of people today.
That's awesome.
It doesn't happen that much anymore.
Of course, this does include the coveted No Agenda Knight Signet Ring, which can go through the washing machine without a scratch, as we've heard earlier.
So, let me just grab my...
You got your blade?
Yep.
Yep, perfect.
Paul Gallagher!
Robert Clayson and Robert Goschko.
Step forward, Neil!
Thank you so much for supporting the No Agenda Show, the best podcast in the universe.
In the amount, sometimes in excess of $1,000, you truly are in our hearts and minds, and hereby we proudly pronounce the Knights of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Sir Paul, Sir Robert, and the other Sir Robert, come on over here.
Hot pants and booze, hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay for you as Knights!
Of that No Agenda Roundtable.
And that is an official title.
There's no reason why a knighthood from the Queen is worth any more.
I mean, yeah, the medal's fancier, but okay, someone's always got to be the boss.
But in general, it's the same thing.
Just like our credits for executive producer and associate executive producer, they're real credits.
It's a true media show with media veterans.
Yep, absolutely.
So we didn't talk about this Tennessee Viper team.
Oh yeah, we got lots of email on this.
And I actually had the clip for the previous show, but we didn't get to it.
So what else is new?
We knew this was going to happen.
These Viper teams, TSA out on the highways.
Yeah, they had them in San Francisco recently during their protests in the BART, the BART protests.
Miss Mickey just came in and said she wants to do a mini Hot Pockets tour on her way out east.
That's not a bad idea.
You should at least have a couple meetups on your way.
And you've got Arizona.
We've got people in Arizona.
We've got New Mexico.
We have a couple of early nights in New Mexico that we haven't heard from for a while.
We might want to stop by and say hi.
Mickey, why don't you hop on NAPU after the show, the No Agenda Producer Update, and coordinate that.
Yeah, why don't you go see these, especially our New Mexico Knights, the husband and wife team that we haven't been in good contact with recently.
Okay.
I think they gave up on us.
Oh, that would suck.
Who were they?
Do you remember their names?
No, I'll get them.
Okay.
All right.
I don't want to embarrass them.
So the same Fox and Friends show, where I'm looking up the chick's skirt, which is intentional...
I forgot who came up with the term, but I like it.
By the way, I want to mention that you laughingly say it's intentional.
If you watch, they have this show called The Five or something like that.
Yeah, with Dana Perino.
Cheprino's on it sometimes, and there's Gilfoyle's on it.
Whoever's on it, usually Gilfoyle, who's got great legs, and they always put her on the end, so the shot of the whole table has got these terrific legs kicking around underneath the table right on the end there, so you can really get a good look.
This is done on purpose.
It sounds like Adam's joking about this.
No.
No, I'm not.
And of course, I always bring up the is she hot, is she hot, because that's how it works, people.
It is a total package.
We're not joking about it.
No, we're not.
I mean, we are the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group, and we know what we speak of.
So, while I'm looking at her, literally, I mean, it's crazy.
She uncrosses her legs, and it's like Sharon Stone, and it's intentional.
I think the term is prestitute, which I think is funny.
It's not ours, but I like prestitute.
So this prestitute is cheering on the Viper TSA search.
Yeah, listen to this.
All right, thank you so much, Maria.
Well, you all know the TSA. You know the criticism, of course, that's been heaped upon the TSA for the groping at the airport.
Now get ready, because the TSA may be groping your tires.
Right.
Yes, the TSA may be coming to your cars, not just the full-body scans at the airports.
In Tennessee, they're the first state now to bring their form of inspection.
They're calling this new program the VIPR, Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response.
What could happen to you?
You're driving down the highway, you pull over to a weigh station, and state troopers can then inspect your car.
By the way, they can't.
That is, as far as I'm concerned, against the Fourth Amendment, they cannot just inspect your car.
John, you're the constitutional scholar on the show, on the panel.
Well, it goes like this.
I believe this would be the position I would take if I was trying to inspect your car under these circumstances.
When you signed up for a license...
You agreed at that point to have, because the license is a privilege, it's not a right.
Once you take that, accept that privilege, then you can have your car inspected at will by the state.
I disagree.
I know.
I could see that you could take this to court and prove your side of it.
I think my argument, what I just said, I believe is what they're thinking.
I would stay in my car and I would say, am I being detained?
And if they say yes, then okay, I'm being detained.
If not, then I'm sorry, no, you can't search my car.
That would be my stance.
But that's not really the point of the clip.
Okay, well that's the negative spin, but the positive spin is that Tennessee, their own Department of Homeland Security says, look, where is a terrorist attack most likely to happen?
It's not in an airline anymore, because there's been so much attention.
It's probably in a truck bomb.
Hold on a second.
When I think terrorist attack, the first thing I think of is Tennessee.
Paducah.
No, that's Kentucky.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, Nashville.
Nashville.
They're going to blow up Nashville and maybe Memphis.
You know, it could be B.B. King's Club.
It's Sir Jeff Smith, the terrorist!
His club, that's where are the terrors hanging out?
Cars, not just the full box.
But listen to what she says.
These kids at the airports in Tennessee, they're the first state now to bring their form of inspection.
They're calling this new program the VIPR, Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response.
What could happen to you?
You're driving down the highway, you pull over to a weigh station, and state troopers can then inspect your car.
Okay, well that's the negative spin, but the positive spin?
Let's talk about the positive spin.
Look at my legs, look at my crotch.
The positive spin is that Tennessee, their own Department of Homeland Security says, look, where is a terrorist attack most likely to happen?
It's not in an airline anymore, because there's been so much attention in their lives.
It's probably in a truck bomb or a car bomb.
Train!
We've heard lots of reports of possible terrorist attacks that would involve a car bomb.
So they say they're now pulling over trucks at way stations with bomb-sniffing dogs.
And, I mean, you could argue that this is the most brilliant thing that Tennessee has done in terms of security ever.
Let's argue that for a moment.
This is the most brilliant thing Tennessee has ever done with their own Department of Homeland Security.
It's brilliant, John.
I mean, think about it.
Where are terrorist attacks most likely to take place?
On the road, in trucks and trains!
Who is this whore?
Because this may be the next line of attack.
Right, having a dog pop up to a car and sniff her any sort of explosives or any sort of fertilizer bombs or truck bombs like we saw in the Oklahoma City bombing.
So let us know what you think about it.
Yeah, John, why don't you call up and let us know what you think about it.
This is a right move for the TSA, friends at foxnews.com.
I'd like to hear Judge Napolitano on this.
He won't like it.
It'll be at the mall next, because that's where terrorists are most likely to attack, at the mall.
You can have TSA everywhere.
Yeah, well, they've got to give somebody work.
This is ridiculous.
Now, when you go on the ferries in Seattle, they have a security system, but it's essentially a couple of dogs that walk all over the place, and they sniff around, and that's it.
Nobody's pestering you or checking out your car or making you open the trunk or anything.
It's just dogs.
Which is fine if you're going to do that, but not if you're pulling people over.
Now, truck stops, if they're worried sick about trucks, throughout most states they have weighing stations because the trucks are taxed based on what a mess they make in terms of carrying too much weight or being overloaded.
It becomes a huge problem if the overloaded truck breaks down or something or digs into the road because wheels blow up.
They can do whatever they need to do.
They can have a dog at the weigh station, sniff around for whatever they're looking for.
This is bull crap.
This is essentially just pulling people over to harass them, looking for drugs, looking for guns, looking for anything.
This is like the TSA claim that at the airports they're only looking for security reasons.
They have arrested person after person on weapons charges for having some marijuana and all these other things, even though they keep saying, no, that's not what we're there for.
Yeah, it's a police state.
You!
I love her.
She's all for it.
You just said, who is that whore?
That was big.
Did I say that?
You said, who is this whore?
Yeah, that was pretty big.
That was kind of female unfriendly.
It must have been slipped out.
I'm just saying.
And then I'll shut up for a bit.
This is a moment where I'd like to take a moment and thank our brilliant artists who have been just doing such an amazing job recently with album art for the No Agenda podcast.
And they upload this to noagendaartgenerator.com or.info.
And we've had such an...
It's been hard to choose, I have to say.
And I don't want anyone to get disheartened when they're not chosen.
And we do back up.
One time we had to go back three weeks and we pulled a piece up.
Yeah, I mean, because sometimes a topic is just right.
And this is what we do after the show.
It's title and then we do sometimes half an hour talking about which piece of art to choose.
So do you think I was out of line when I called her a whore for whoring for the government?
I didn't say that.
I was just a little shocked, that's all.
Normally, you're not like this.
Because I'd apologize if it was out of line.
No, I don't think it was out of line.
No.
Okay.
No, it was just a little, you know, I was taken aback for a moment there.
It's not like you.
Maybe decaf will be.
Generally, but she really irks me, this woman, whoever she is.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And she's not hot, by the way.
But she's got...
She shouldn't even be on the air.
The Curry Dvorak Consulting Company forces you off the air.
So anyway, people who do that, you get a credit in the show notes at the top there, who's done the art, and that is also a real credit.
It looks like the BarackObama.com people are taking a page out of our initiative, and they are now soliciting artists to design a poster.
For the Obama campaign, they want it to be a jobs poster.
And what they're doing is they're saying, here, create a poster illustrating why we support President Obama's plan to create jobs now and why we'll re-elect him to continue fighting for jobs for the next four years.
If you are chosen, if your artwork is chosen, what do you think you win, John?
A visit at the White House at one of the big giant dinner receptions?
If only.
What?
You don't even get a dinner?
No.
You get a framed copy of your own poster, signed by the President, and it says underneath, approximate retail value, $195.
And if you don't win, well, that's too bad because you've surrendered your intellectual property if you look at the terms and conditions.
So the White House owns the copyrights.
They own the copyrights.
No, not BarackObama.com.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So here's potential slogans that they'd like.
Fighting for jobs.
Get America back to work.
Made in the USA. Support small business.
Really quite amazing.
And, you know, they only have like $200 million.
And they...
They spend $8 million for a website.
Yeah.
If they give the guy more than a handshake.
Yeah.
So, anyway, I just want to thank our artists for doing this selfishly.
And, of course, if we gave them a framed copy of their art, actual retail value would be nowhere near $195.
Could be worth more.
Some of our artists are pretty good.
Well, yeah, I know the stuff they do.
You couldn't buy that for five grand if you commissioned an art director to do it.
No.
Yeah, no, we do want to thank them.
We do have great artists, and our art is fantastic.
In every show, we have a different piece of artwork that's an album cover art for the podcast.
And I think this is as good as any...
I mean, there should be a podcast award for our art.
Oh, that's not even taken into consideration in the podcast awards.
I see people voting, though.
I know they're voting for us and for Devorah Cora.
Yeah, we should mention that.
What's it called, podcastawards.com?
Yes, I believe so.
We need votes.
So we're going to stuff the ballot box.
You can vote every day.
Somebody should set up some bots.
Yeah, a bot would be good.
A bot would be good.
Vote, vote, vote, vote every day.
Do you think all these other podcasts are all shilling and saying, vote for us?
Oh, I know they are.
I've heard it.
Yeah, I heard it on Dvorak Horowitz.
We don't push ourselves enough onto these award shows.
No, we don't.
I know we don't.
But I like it that we're in the people's choice category.
That's always good.
So it's like a write-in ballot.
The people wanted us in there.
Yeah.
If we truly are the greatest, there should be a category.
Greatest podcast in the universe.
Well, then there would only be one listed.
I've heard these other ones.
Hey, you got some more things here that look interesting.
Let's see, what do I have?
PBS Pitch for Money.
What was that?
Well, I was going to use that before our donation plea.
Oh, sorry.
It's very boring, but we can use it next time.
Okay.
But it's a classic pitch for money.
I had the Waze in on Libya.
Then I have this crazy, clueless PBS thing.
And I want you to listen to it carefully, and then I want to dissect it because it's very funny.
Whether it turns out well or ill, we'll see.
But that is just a tremendous change.
It's a tremendous change, but let's get one thing.
There's a marvelous term in logic.
Post hoc, not proctor hoc.
In other words, because something happened after something, it's not because of something.
Saddam Hussein's following was because the United States moved in and occupied and invaded a country that had never posed a threat to the United States, did not have weapons of mass destruction.
The United States did not play an active role in the Arab Spring.
And quite miraculous and remarkable was that it occurred without us.
And without our active involvement.
What?
Now, let me get a couple of things here.
Are you kidding me?
This is Mark Shields.
First of all, he says, post-Hawk, not Proctor-Hawk, some sort of logical thing.
He says, just because something happened doesn't mean whatever followed is because of it.
But then he cites the United States invades Iraq and then Saddam Hussein falls.
That is exactly what caused it.
It had nothing to do with it.
No.
But he argues that no, it's just a coincidence.
So in other words, he violates his own point right off the bat.
And then he goes on to say that we had nothing to do with, despite the fact that we have this Twitter thing going on, all these initiatives with the techno experts and that we're bombing the crap out of these guys.
Yeah, training thousands of techno experts, droning people.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life on PBS. The president literally said in his YouTube address today, he literally said that it is a direct result of how awesome we are.
Let me just refute that, PBS. This week, we had two powerful reminders of how we've renewed American leadership in the world.
I was proud to announce that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of this year.
And in Libya, the death of Muammar Gaddafi showed that our role in protecting the Libyan people and helping them break free from a tyrant was the right thing to do.
Direct result, I think.
Yeah, so I don't know what these guys are thinking over there.
This is another problem that we have.
I mean, even when we do our show, we have a direct link to the chat room.
So when we make an error of any sort, a minor one or whatever, and we also have a couple of producers that are listening in, Buzzkill Jr.
and sometimes Eric DeShill is occasionally there.
And so we make a crazy mistake, like saying something that dumb, We get called on it, so within five minutes while doing the show in real time, we correct ourselves, and we've done that.
We do that every so often.
These shows, they have no self-correcting mechanism on the show itself, and it's just a really old-fashioned way of doing things that just doesn't work anymore, and you end up with these idiotic commentaries that are just open for ridicule, like that crazy thing.
There's something I wanted to mention.
You know, of course, all the conspiracy sites are showing that Gaddafi's corpse picture was photoshopped.
I mean, there's a lot of photoshop out there.
They had him laying, by the way, in a cold room with the public looking at him.
Well, here's what I don't understand.
So we have, and I see them all over the news media, like, you know, and they're reporting directly from Tripoli, I presume, or CERT. And, yeah, and what the Main Street, the Guardian has an article today, they all show a picture of people taking pictures of Gaddafi.
No one, for some reason, which I don't understand, and of course I can presume why, There's not a single close-up shot or a video where they go in, into the meat locker, and go in and zoom in on his face, and this is him.
They're always showing, I mean, is it too shocking for us?
I don't understand.
Why are they only showing pictures of people taking pictures?
Why not show me the picture that you have taken as responsible news media to show that this is true?
Why?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Why?
I think it's a matter of taste.
I think they've decided not to do it.
And if they do do it, then they have to live with the, why didn't you show Osama Bin Laden's head?
I don't know.
All I know is it's really weird.
I know.
We don't know nothing.
Which is our mantra.
We don't know nothing.
We see nothing.
When you shoot someone with a 9mm, which is what is claimed, there's an exit wound.
I don't see a big chunk blown off on the other side.
Not what I've seen.
I don't know they were shot in the head, was he?
Yeah, but if you shoot...
There's a million stories about what happened.
He was shot in the legs, he was in an ambulance, and then he was grabbed by a bunch of CIA people, then he was grabbed by the public, then he was beat up, and then he was shot outside, and then he was shot in a tube.
I mean, he was like hiding in some hole, and they shot him in there too.
I mean, what...
And by the way, this guy still could be a double.
Cloned and droned.
An old woman.
Yeah, but that is exactly what the British tabloid has today on the front page.
It says that the, what do you call it, the autopsy, they did an autopsy and it turns out that Gaddafi was a tranny.
I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
They can't, apparently.
But, you know, front page.
What is the mail?
No, Sports Sunday.
Sports Sunday?
Yeah, what is...
I don't know.
It's not in the New York Times.
Well, not yet.
Here, let me see.
Where's the...
I think I have the...
The Guardian, Gaddafi's rumors.
Ah, here.
Murky clouds...
No.
I thought I had it in the show notes somewhere.
It was funny.
I guess I didn't save it.
Just do a search.
Can we find something?
Sports Sunday.
Let's try this.
This is one of our...
I don't see it.
Let's see, hold on.
News.
Gaddafi's ruler of Libya.
I'm not seeing Gaddafi a woman I'm looking for.
I'll have it in a minute.
Hold on.
The chat room will have it faster than we have it, by the way.
Here it is.
Autopsy shock.
Colonel Gaddafi was a woman.
Those kids didn't look like him, that's for sure.
According to the Sunday sport, the post-mortem shows the body to be that of a woman.
There were fully developed lady parts, according to the Sunday sport.
Now, I'd like to point out that, remember Hitler's skull?
That turned out to be a skull of a woman, age 40.
So, who knows?
But I think that's pretty funny.
The colonel was a tranny.
Which is kind of sexy in a way.
I don't know.
There's something weird about that.
Yeah, he's such a sexy looking guy.
Oh my goodness.
So who knows?
But it would be funny if he popped up with a YouTube.
I think that would be hilarious.
Like, hey!
Adios, mofos!
Adios, mofos!
I'm living in parts unknown.
That would be great.
Alright, Jeremy Paxman is my final clip for the week.
Jeremy is a funny guy on Gitmo Nation East BBC Televisione.
And he's being lambasted now that he didn't keep his guests in control.
So here's the scene.
He's got a couple guests in the studio.
One guy is a journalist.
And right now in Gitmo Nation East, in the UK, everyone is so upset about this Europe thing.
And the human resources, they're like...
Get out of Europe.
We want to leave the EU. We want a referendum.
We want to leave.
And of course, no one's having any of that.
The elites can't do that.
And so they bring on the...
Let me see what this guy is.
He is from the European Union Commission.
To talk about the Euro.
So this is, you know, top elite, and he's on the satellite from Brussels, and the guy in the studio keeps calling him an idiot.
The idiot in Brussels.
It's just a funny clip, and I really like it.
Jeremy Paxman shared a discussion about the Euro, which involved a spokesman from the European Commission and the opinionated journalist Peter Oborn.
These guys are in total and utter denial.
It's terribly frightening listening to that idiot in Brussels.
And the guy's on.
He's hearing this.
Mr.
Idiot in Brussels, would you like to respond?
Hello, Mr.
Idiot in Brussels, would you like to respond?
That's Paxman.
Oh, hold on.
Sorry.
No, I think that these words speak for themselves.
What the Euro-elite, this idiot in Brussels...
Will you stop referring to me as this idiot?
That is just...
No, he is.
You listen to the low quality, the catastrophic quality of his economic analysis.
You may think that he's out of contact with reality, but that does not mean.
He's now walking out of the studio and we can't even hold him to account now.
And the guy walks off the set.
He's like, stop calling me an idiot.
And then, so this is a report about what happened.
And of course, it's all Paxman's fault.
Because you've just been gratuitously offensive.
Sarah Miller was one of a number of viewers who were offended by what they saw.
She wrote, Aghast!
Mr. Paxman should have stepped in earlier.
I fear that the unchecked rudeness of guests will have an impact on the way viewers will view your behavior too.
Meanwhile, Michael Wilde asked, Why didn't Jeremy Paxman correct Peter O'Born's rude and gratuitous comments earlier, rather than smugly colluding with him until it became intolerable?
This was simply vulgar, offensive, and xenophobic.
Xenophobic, I tell you.
Xenophobic?
How's that xenophobic calling somebody out of the blue an idiot?
An idiot in Brussels.
Oh, I guess that would be it.
Lovely, lovely.
Do we want to do those Lisa Jacksons?
No, I'm going to save those because they take a little more development because Lisa Jackson brought up a couple of interesting points that we'll talk about in the next show.
To be honest about it, the less I hear her voice, the better off I feel.
So for Thursday's show, I'm investigating a study funded by the Wellcome Trust, apparently finding a direct link between the number of Facebook friends a person has and the size of their brain.
Oh, please.
What a scam.
I'm investigating this one.
Let me guess.
Let me guess.
The more Facebook friends you have, the bigger your brain.
Correct.
Just off the top of my head.
How do you know these?
You are such a genius.
I'm going to release a study.
Everyone should have more Facebook friends because it proves you're smart.
I'm going to release a study too.
How about me?
I got none.
It's like a pea, I tell you.
You have no brain.
That's right.
I'm going to do...
We have to come up with a good metric that we can relate to penis size.
That would be a funny study to release.
What metric can we use?
What can we do?
Come up with the people who give the most of the No Agenda show at noagendashow.com.
Have the biggest penis.
And they have the biggest members.
Hey, that's it for our show today.
Coming to you from Get My Nation West, everybody.
In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where we, I had a little thing, never mind, I'm John C. Dvorak.
The No Agenda Producer Update is coming up next on the stream.
We'll be back again on Thursday, live morning at 9 Pacific Standard Time, right here with No Agenda.
Adios, mofos.
So, I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed ideas.
We came, we saw, we died.
Did it have anything to do with your visit?
No.
