	Okay, that's working, good.
	Anyone out there listening to us on the stream, please make sure we have a backup recording, because you never know.
	Small production notice here.
	You hear the fat lady, John?
	You hear what?
	You hear the fat bitch?
	Yeah, that's why I was playing my slide whistle.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I heard you.
	Maybe you were just doing that of your own accord.
	I don't know.
	I'm crazy.
	Hell yeah.
	So once again, we're at about 400 kilobits up, 400 kilobits down.
	Yeah, well, I can barely...
	You're breaking up constantly.
	You know what?
	You don't need to hear me.
	I have nothing important to say.
	You know, people keep telling...
	Whoa!
	People keep telling us there's something special we have to do, like locking some port down or something on Skype when we do this, and I never really understand what I'm supposed to do.
	People need to give you step-by-step.
	Yeah.
	Well, I can't really jack into this router here, so if I have to close some ports here, that's just not possible.
	Anyway.
	It is what it is.
	Yeah, you got enough bandwidth.
	It should be better.
	No, I don't really have enough bandwidth.
	You only need 50 kilobits on Skype.
	Well...
	It also depends on the...
	Cinco de Mayo!
	Shit!
	Missed it.
	Ha!
	You distracted me!
	Good.
	It also depends on the number of hops and stuff like that.
	Did you listen to the last show?
	I listened to the last show.
	Yeah.
	No.
	I was on it.
	I was on the last show.
	Yes, I remember that part.
	I was just wondering, because near the second half of the show, I enabled the noise gate, because there was no more wind, and I think it sounds better when you don't hear the background, when it's just us.
	Just wondering if you had an opinion.
	Okay.
	But won't make any difference now, will it?
	That doesn't sound like it's going to make a lot of difference.
	Right.
	Oh, my God. my God.
	I like it where half the chat room says they're sparking up a bowl.
	The other half says they just took some magic mushrooms.
	People get really ready for the show, don't they?
	That's pretty cool.
	Yeah, just they forget to donate.
	That's the problem.
	No loving today.
	For those of you expecting to hear a snappy opening on the show, this is one of those remote location shows.
	So we just start recording somewhere during Le Bishvat.
	And you just have to live with it.
	Sometimes people like that.
	So this is what you're normally missing.
	Whoa!
	Whoa!
	Save the cargo, Captain Baines!
	This is what you're normally missing during the pre-stream of the program.
	Yes, QWERTY indeed.
	I know that the listeners can't afford to donate because they're spending it all on LSD. I'm quite aware.
	It's okay.
	I assume.
	Hee-haw-haw Hee-ho-ho, hee-ho!
	Hee-ho, hee-ho, hee-ho, hee-ho!
	Okay, hit it.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, January 26, 2012.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 377.
	This is no agenda.
	Off the market and coming to you from the diver's paradise of Bonaire, the Netherlands Antilles, just 60 clicks north of Hugo Chavez's presidential studios in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where all we can do here is hope to God he never goes back to Bonaire.
	I'm John C. Timborak.
	What's that supposed to mean?
	I mean, it's a free vacation.
	It's important.
	We can't afford an expensive vacation with real bandwidth anywhere, so we get what we can take.
	We take what we can get.
	Why don't you do some political activity while you're there and get the connection to be improved?
	Well, I've got the fiber in the ground.
	It's just there's no one here.
	No one cares.
	Fiber in the ground.
	Fiber in the ground.
	Boots on the ground.
	Feets in the airs.
	Anyway, in the morning to you there.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curran.
	In the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground.
	Hey, please don't talk so loud because you're over-modulated.
	Kill Skype.
	In the morning, everybody, especially those of you in the chat room, all the human resources all charged up and ready to go just the way your government loves you.
	It's good to see you all there.
	We have a full quorum.
	Noagendachat.net Once again coming to you from the Caribbean island of Bonaire where the earth has determined that it is just going to rain forever.
	So, I was watching one of these shows on the Travel Channel on secret places, and apparently there's a secret best place in the world on Bonaire, and it's on an obscure beach on the other side of one of the islands.
	Nobody ever goes to it.
	No, there's only one beach, and everyone goes there.
	That's not what they told me.
	There is something called Little Bonaire, which is just off the coast, and it's its own little island, and that is the place where you want to go scuba diving, which we just haven't been able to do.
	It's been raining.
	It's a message from God.
	We had one beautiful sunset, and that was the day before yesterday.
	I know you got the email, John.
	Yeah.
	You got the email?
	Well, you sent me a bunch of emails, but which one are you talking about specifically?
	No, the one that Mickey sent you.
	Did you know that I asked her to marry me?
	Oh yeah, no, everybody knows.
	Yeah, well we sent our friends, air quotes.
	Oh, I found out about it from my wife.
	She found out about it from Facebook.
	Apparently everybody at the office found out about it on Twitter.
	I was actually the last guy to find...
	Just because you don't open up your email or went to spam or something like that.
	I have nothing to do with that.
	That's not my fault.
	But you want to know the funny thing?
	So, just say yes.
	Of course you want to know the funny thing.
	Yeah, what?
	Yeah.
	So I take Mickey up to the Siru Largu, which is this, you know, it's the big mountain.
	It's the tallest point in Bonaire, where they have a nice little, there's a little, there used to be a statue of Maria up there, but I think she kept, they kept stealing the statue.
	So they just put a big M with a little crown on it, which is nice, because of course M also stands for Mickey.
	And I take her up there, you know, it's like, hey, under the ruse of, let's go, hey, there's one sunset during this whole week that we're here, let's go take some pictures.
	And I couldn't believe she actually fell for it, and I drove to it in one go, which I'd rehearsed previously.
	You know, she should have known something was up right then, like, wait a minute, Adam never can find his way on the ground.
	How the hell does he know how to get to this place?
	So check this out, though.
	This is a no-agenda woman.
	So, blah, blah, blah, you know, I fall on my knees and I say, will you marry me?
	And she says, that's a great question.
	She does?
	That's funny.
	I'm like, did you yell at her?
	That's not a great question.
	It's just a regular-ass question.
	She was ready for it.
	She'd been preparing for weeks.
	She's like, I was ready for that.
	That's funny.
	That's very funny.
	So I'm looking in my email box.
	There's nothing from Mickey since December 24, 2011, and there's nothing in the spam box.
	She never mailed me.
	She did?
	Oh, wow.
	I was here when she emailed you.
	Well, it dropped off the face of the earth to whatever happened.
	Or maybe one of the intelligence agencies grabbed it and then tweeted it out.
	Well, we'll make sure we resend and make sure everything went to the proper address.
	Anyway, but I have to say thank you so much to all of the No Agenda producers because we don't really have a big family.
	But that, of course, is not true because the No Agenda family is ginormous.
	It was so nice.
	To get all the responses and emails and tweets and...
	You can immediately do me a favor as a pre-wedding gift.
	I have to do you a favor?
	To never say ginormous.
	That's a phrase that was, I think, popularized by Rachel Maddow.
	Oh, I'm so sorry.
	I've been indoctrinated.
	I'll never say it again.
	But it was big.
	It was a big response.
	That was really nice.
	Well, that's very sweet.
	Yeah.
	So, there you go.
	It's not bad.
	That's a good time to do it.
	You know, you're on some desolate island out in the middle of nowhere with no connectivity, and you get a sunset that you can finally live with, and you might as well.
	Yeah.
	Well, the whole idea was to propose to her here on the island.
	That's why I emailed...
	Oh, so it was a scheme from the get-go.
	Yes, that's why I emailed Lex Luthor and said, can we stay at the lair?
	And initially he said, well, we got other people here.
	And I said, well, I want to propose to Mickey.
	And then two days later, all right, come on the 21st.
	All right, what can I say?
	Damn it.
	Oh, crap.
	All right, come over then.
	But the weather here, literally since we were here a year and a half ago, the climate has changed, and it just rains off and on every single day.
	It's just raining.
	It's a cycle.
	Yeah, it's an earth cycle.
	It may be raining here for the next 50 years.
	Who knows?
	Global warming, my friend.
	Global warming.
	Yeah, it's global warming.
	Get used to it.
	Get used to the global warming.
	Anyway, I have still, of course, found time to fight evil.
	I'm sure you have as well.
	Of course, it was the evening.
	My timing was impeccable.
	The evening of my proposal was the State of the Union.
	Obama's State of the Union.
	And I was able to stay awake for just about...
	All I really cared about, I know we didn't have C-SPAN or anything here, so I was, this is like some NBC kind of affiliate.
	I guess it comes in from, I don't know, Miami or something.
	And so, you know, all I care about is to see the walk-in and see, you know, what people are wearing.
	You know, we're television producers.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.
	Did you see Hillary wearing all black?
	Quite a departure.
	She didn't seem...
	She didn't look good.
	No, she looked pretty unhappy, actually.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And while the president was saying to Panetta there, good job, good work tonight, good job, good job, and I immediately knew something was up.
	I'm like, okay.
	Oh, whoa, whoa!
	Sorry, a little bit of wind here.
	I immediately knew something was up, which, of course, came out later, which we definitely have to discuss.
	But this State of the Union...
	Was there anything that you noticed during this?
	Anything that you noticed?
	Well, there was a blog posting on thevorak.org slash blog, which people should go check out, comparing this, of course this came from the GOP because it was a no-brainer, comparing this State of the Union to the 2010 and 2011 State of the Union, exact same speech, exact same wording.
	I have the clip, let's listen.
	Whether the hard work and industry of our people is rewarded.
	Where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded.
	Let's fix what needs fixing and let's move forward.
	Tonight I want to speak about how we move forward.
	It's time for colleges and universities to get serious about cutting their own costs.
	Colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down.
	And we should continue the work of fixing our broken immigration system.
	Now, I strongly believe that we should take on, once and for all, the issue of illegal immigration.
	I believe, as strongly as ever, that we should take on illegal immigration.
	And let's stop expelling talented, responsible young people.
	Let's at least agree to stop expelling responsible young people who could be staffing our research labs or starting a new business, who want to staff our labs, start new businesses.
	We'll put more Americans to work repairing crumbling roads and bridges.
	So much of America needs to be rebuilt.
	We've got crumbling roads and bridges.
	We face a deficit of trust.
	I've talked tonight about the deficit of trust.
	We can't wage a perpetual campaign.
	We need to end the notion that the two parties must be locked in a perpetual campaign.
	We should give them a government that's more competent and more efficient.
	we should all want a smarter, more effective government.
	I have to say, that was pretty good that they threw that together so quickly, the Republican Party.
	I thought that was good.
	They put that little ominous music behind it, you know, and it's better actually when you see the video because they show the dates, the years, 2010, 2011, 2012.
	Well, actually, if you wanted to take it one step further, if they wanted to put more time into it, they could take all those stump speeches he's done recently, and you hear the same thing.
	It's almost as though Obama...
	It was like that bad dream that college students have, where you wake up, and you realize that you've taken a class you've never attended, and today's the days of the final.
	Right.
	So this is Obama waking up and saying, Oh my God, I haven't written a State of the Union speech, and I'm scheduled to give one.
	It's interesting, because if you look...
	I was going to say, if you look at whitehouse.gov, I don't have a clip of it, but they did one of those West Wing Week episodes, you know, his reality show, and it was behind the scenes of the writing of it, and they've got the speechwriters and all his superior, supreme advisors and all, like, yeah, and the president's really involved, and they have, you know, cut to scene of the president going, hey, I really want this in there.
	It's hilarious.
	It's like, it's worse reality television than reality television.
	Well, it seems as though somebody said, this speech stinks, let's do an old speech.
	I don't know.
	Well, there was one thing that caught my attention.
	I went, whoa!
	And I looked into it, and I went, whoa, whoa!
	In a time when Americans owe more in tuition debt than credit card debt, this Congress needs to stop the interest rates on student loans from doubling in July.
	Whoa!
	Did you know this?
	No, that's funny.
	Well, it's not that funny because in July...
	Well, I mean, it's not funny at all, but it's funny.
	Well, what's happening is apparently in 2007, they had some kind of provision that set the interest rates for student loans at 3.4% for subsequent years, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.
	And in July of 2012, although there's no stipulation...
	For what the interest rate should be on student loans, everyone has now agreed they're going to 6.8.
	Which, of course, is outrageous.
	And this is going to be another crisis on our hands, which I think he just kind of slipped in there.
	And no one knew about it.
	And I went to go look.
	In order to understand student loan finances, you have to have a college degree.
	It's crazy!
	I mean, it's all based on the T-bills and LIBOR. It's like, how can you understand any of this stuff?
	The joke of it is that Bernanke yesterday had a press conference and he essentially said we're going to have zero interest rates, zero to some minor number, until 2014, which means he doesn't see anything changing until 2014.
	And with that kind of free money, why are kids paying 6%?
	Yeah, because if you put your money in the bank, what do you get now?
	0.1% if that?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, the banks get all this free money, but then how do they come up with 6%, almost 7% interest rate for student loans?
	It's dangerous.
	No one can afford that.
	People can't afford their student loans as is.
	This is like the mortgage crisis, where all of a sudden, oh, well, you should have read the fine print.
	They're going to double in July 2012.
	Well, the comment that he made was that there's more student loans outstanding than credit card debt, I guess.
	Right.
	We know this.
	That doesn't sound good.
	No, but we've discussed this and we know this, but I didn't know that the student loan rates are going to double.
	And by the way, they don't have to double.
	There's no rule that says they're going to double.
	They're just not set by law.
	So they can easily just pass a law.
	No, it's an out-and-out gouge.
	Obviously, the student loan program has been taken up by payday loans or one of these guys.
	Super scam.
	I was just like, wow, are you kidding me?
	So you watch.
	That'll be a whole mini-series in our reality show, which is our United States Gitmo Nation politics.
	We're going to go through this whole rigmarole.
	Maybe the students will get a clue and stop voting for this guy.
	No, no, no, because of course we can't wait and he'll fix it by some executive order at the very last minute and then he'll be the hero, which of course he was the hero.
	What is this SEAL Team 6 rescue mission?
	Why do they have to always do these during a State of the Union?
	Is it like they have to have something else to talk about the next day?
	Is that why they do it?
	And what kind of bull crap was this?
	Well, I'd like to know, if you remember, many of the members of the SEAL Team 6 that supposedly took out Osama.
	They were dead!
	They were all killed!
	Were dead?
	Now they're alive again!
	Because I heard at least on two of the news channels that this was the exact same team that took out Osama.
	It's funny.
	For some reason, I don't think I got the clip.
	Shep Smith...
	Damn!
	I can't believe I missed that clip.
	Shep Smith was on Fox, which he's always on, of course.
	And he said, the same team that captured Osama Bin Laden, which I thought was an interesting...
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	That would have been clip of the day.
	I'm such a...
	I don't know.
	Somehow I missed it.
	I can't see it in my lineup.
	I was like, whoa, okay.
	Okay.
	But it was a repeat of the previous year.
	Then we get Joe Biden on the compromised ABC News with George Stephanopoulos.
	Well, the Pentagon's going to debrief this morning, but I can tell you that the President personally authorized this.
	We have our Special Operations Forces.
	I'm not going to go into more detail.
	No, don't go into more detail.
	Matt, who are, by the way, the most incredible warriors this world has ever seen.
	They said it was the time, the opportunity, Jessica's health was, their word was failing, and they concluded they should go at this time.
	The President gave the go.
	And it was, again, they also rescued a Danish aid worker.
	This was a Danish demining operation she was working with.
	And the president had the great privilege of being able to call her dad to say she was safe once she was out of the country and in good hands.
	Did you look into this at all, this Jessica Buchanan?
	Let me ask you one question first.
	No, I didn't, not to any extent, but because I have one basic question.
	If these two people are kidnapped and they're being held for, I don't know, a year or some, three months.
	Yeah, yeah, a year.
	How do they know her health's failing?
	You know, how does that work?
	Are they sending out press releases?
	Are the pirates sending out a press release?
	Are their health failing?
	I mean, where did this information come from?
	Do they have a mole?
	Yeah.
	Does this make any sense to me?
	No, the whole story doesn't make sense.
	And by the way, there's no video of her.
	They're all using the same black and white picture.
	When I did a Wikipedia, when I consulted the Book of Knowledge, I come up with Jessica Buchanan.
	And she is a fictional character on the ABC soap opera, One Life to Live.
	I'm like, okay.
	That makes sense.
	There's like nothing I could find except the same propaganda over and over again.
	And apparently they parachuted in.
	They waited until the guards were stoned.
	Because they were, you know, smoking quat or whatever.
	And then they went in and grabbed her and then the helicopters came in and landed and took her away.
	But of course the whole thing is, you know, a mission from Djibouti, which is where the drones operate from.
	And so that's all fantastic.
	We need to have Djibouti in the right spot.
	And of course there's a connection to Al-Shabaab, which I guess is to heighten their profile.
	There's always an El Shabab connection.
	Yeah, but they don't really know.
	I mean, let's see.
	Actually, there used to be a doo-wop group in the 50s.
	I'll give you that one.
	They're saying, well, we're not quite sure there's a connection to Al-Shabaab, but it kind of looks like it.
	I don't know, man.
	Just the timing of it.
	Because I went back and I looked again when Obama is...
	And by the way, it was the gray-haired Obama who did the State of the Union.
	He's the guy that's all chipper.
	He's all up in Chipper.
	And he was like patting Panetta on the shoulder there.
	And Hillary just looks off immediately.
	He's talking to someone else.
	Hi, how you doing?
	She was irritated by it.
	And I think it's because we know that the Osama Bin Laden raid was bullcrap.
	And this was probably bullcrap too.
	And this Danish organization...
	It's very, very weird.
	Like, yeah, they identify landmines, but they also do other things, literally, and they're about, you know, like, oh, we clear the way for political stuff.
	It's like, I don't know, man.
	It doesn't pass the smell test.
	I have nothing else than that.
	We'll just let that one slide.
	I think we should take a quick note of our one lone executive producer for this show.
	Very disappointing week.
	Associate, even.
	Is it an executive?
	No, no.
	The highest one that comes in at 200, if nobody's higher, then they win.
	It's like a lottery.
	Sir Dean Bertram from Accra, Ghana.
	In fact, our executive producer today is from Africa.
	There you go.
	Here's another 419 Ghana credit donation.
	Sorry about being a boner over the holiday period, but my junior human resources had expectations.
	Keep up the good work.
	Sir Dean in Accra, Ghana.
	$239.43.
	And that's it for today's show.
	I want to thank Sir Dean for...
	For chiming in.
	And he'll be the executive producer for show 377.
	I'm so glad Miss Mickey can't hear this show, because if she heard that, she'd be like, wait a minute.
	Some broke guy asked me to marry him?
	This is not good.
	Yes, we do appreciate your donating is loving on the show.
	And I don't know what it is, John.
	Is it the economic crisis that has hit?
	Or, I mean, do we just suck so bad?
	I mean, I know I'm...
	We'll see when you get back to the home base.
	But I want to remind people to go to Dvorak.org slash NA, channel Dvorak.com slash NA, No Agenda Show and NoGendanation.com. Dvorak.org slash NA.
	By the way, we're not the only ones sucking.
	I'd like to point out that the State of the Union ratings were down 12% from 2011, so someone's head will roll, and of course, that'll be blamed on using the same script.
	Yeah, and how about a real estate union speech instead of a stump speech?
	Yeah, how about just, you know, things are not good, people.
	Life sucks.
	No, it was...
	And there was all kinds of weirdness going on.
	Like, Valerie Jarrett was sitting in the First Lady's box, which is a first ever that an advisor, instead of the...
	Eh, what do you call it?
	They have a bunch of stooges up there.
	Usually they put the camera on.
	Yeah, but this was...
	So they had Warren Buffett's secretary, of course, and he referenced that.
	They had Steve Jobs' widow.
	Of course, he referenced that.
	Now, I didn't...
	Were there all kinds of shots of these people when he was talking about them?
	Did you see, like, when he talked about Steve Jobs, did they cut to an insert?
	Pre-shot.
	A what?
	A what?
	A pre-shot.
	A pre-shot?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, they'd show Steve Jobs' widow, Laureen, and then he'd talk about Steve Jobs.
	They'd show the secretary.
	Oh, really?
	Okay.
	And then he'd talk about something, and then sometimes he'd do a reference and then they'd shoot the guy.
	But it was all...
	It was like coffee television.
	Like, here's a cup of coffee, and then the script will be cup of coffee.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	No, it was so scripted, the shots from the pool, that it was like, at some point, it got really annoying.
	Because they'd show somebody, and say, what are you showing this person for?
	And then Obama would mention them.
	Oh, man.
	Who directed this thing?
	I don't know.
	They should have done no pre-shots.
	Later in the script, they did regular shots.
	John Stewart had a bid on this.
	They were talking about some Jewish thing, and so they shot one of the congressmen.
	No.
	No, really?
	What's his name?
	Lieberman?
	No, it wasn't Lieberman.
	It was the guy from New York who talks like the slow-talking guy.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I try to forget those guys.
	Anyway, he's a douchebag.
	But they shot him.
	And Stuart went on and on and says, he's not the only Jew in Congress.
	Why are they picking on him?
	So anyway, normally the White House Director of Legislative Affairs, who was responsible for...
	Really pushing the President's agenda in Congress is always in the First Lady's box.
	Not this year.
	Valerie Jarrett was there, the true President, sitting in the President's box.
	With her Secret Service detail.
	It was really weird.
	I just...
	I get more and more...
	Bad vibes about what's really going on.
	When they get so lazy about the theater that they just are repeating scripts from previous years and the true power players are sitting around, you just gotta wonder what's coming down the pike.
	And again, the same script.
	Was it not the last State of the Union where we killed Osama Bin Laden?
	Oh no wait, that wasn't the State of the Union.
	It was the press corps dinner, right?
	I don't know which one.
	All I know is I keep hearing it.
	This is his 9-11.
	Bush would always bring up 9-11 for whatever reason.
	This guy's going to bring up, we kill Osama.
	And he brings it up right at the beginning.
	And at the end.
	And at the end.
	Again.
	So, during this process, over a number of days, I have determined, and I'm predicting this already.
	Well, I already have the evidence.
	There's nothing to predict.
	The strategy that Obama's using...
	To get re-elected.
	Oh.
	And it's creeping into the subconscious mind of the electorate in such a way that people, when I look, luckily revealing it here will help all the listeners spot it every time it happens.
	But I first ran into it when I did the Generation X3 show with the three people from the office, Eddie, Dorian, and...
	Yeah, the millennials and me.
	Just kidding.
	The millennials and me is what I call that show.
	So they brought up the...
	I'm not sure if it was on...
	I think it was Dorian, actually.
	She brings up this meme, and it...
	And I didn't pay much attention to it.
	I put in the back of my mind, I thought it was interesting, because the three of them all agreed on the meme, and then they agreed that Ron Paul, they would vote for him.
	He's the only Republican.
	They think all the other Republicans are douchebags.
	There's a millennial group.
	That's what everybody thinks.
	Right, which sounds right to me.
	And then when I listen to Alec Baldwin on Piers Morgan, and he drops this same meme into the public domain, and then I start looking it up and I find a video that's done by the Obama campaign, which is the meme.
	And let me explain what it is before I play the clips for Alec Baldwin, because this is the way he really nails it.
	It goes like this.
	Uh...
	These Republicans are all douchebags and Obama hasn't been given the chance to finish the job he started.
	Right.
	Yeah, I know this.
	Yeah, sure.
	But Baldwin has a little extra twist to it.
	So all three of them agree that they have to re-elect Obama so he can finish this lousy job he's doing.
	So, okay, I can kind of live with that to a point.
	So, I mean, the thinking, I can see where you can come with that.
	So I found a very interesting video on YouTube, and people can look it up.
	It's called Half a Haircut.
	And it shows a guy, and it's supposed to be a hidden camera.
	And the guy gets a half a haircut, and he says, that's your haircut.
	He says, you only cut half of my hair.
	He says, ah, you don't need, look at this half, this half is done.
	He says, well, I want the other hair.
	Half.
	I want the other half.
	And then they have the Obama logo at the end.
	It needs the other half.
	You know what?
	Actually, I think Ms.
	Mickey showed it to me.
	She thought it was a really funny video until I pointed out to her what was really going on.
	Yeah, it's a total scam.
	So, I mean, it's part of a meme thing they're trying to do.
	So, I got two clips, and one of them kind of sets up the other one, but I want to play them in this order.
	It's a little long, but this is from Pierce Morgan, because I want to also deconstruct what Morgan says.
	He kind of sets up the whole, you know...
	Baldwin's opinions of things, and then the second half of the clip, part two of this clip, brings out this meme in great detail, and I do have some comment about it.
	So play the Alec Baldwin lead-in on the false premise one.
	That America remains a great country, that America remains a country that is revered around the world still.
	It can still be strong, but it must go back, perhaps, to basics, to manufacturing things.
	President Obama said the following in the speech.
	During the Great Depression, America built the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge.
	After World War II, we connected our states with a system of highways.
	Democratic and Republican administrations invested in great projects that benefited everybody.
	From the workers who built them to the businesses that still use them today.
	And that surely is the crux of the problem here.
	America's been in tough times before.
	You know, we're not in the Great Depression now.
	We're in a recession.
	It's not as bad as it was in the 30s.
	And the way that America got itself out of that hole before was to...
	Build big things to, I guess, inspire people at the same time as creating jobs in its own country.
	Well, I think that the United States, when I've said this kind of broad banner, I've waved this banner before in this kind of conversation where I say, America is great.
	In direct proportion with when we do great things and when we fought wars, that it was clear who our enemy was and that they were people that needed to be stopped from their aggression and so forth.
	In the last several decades, through the 60s and 70s and now during this period in the Middle East, I'm not quite sure that the wars that America was fighting were the best idea and the amount of money and the amount of American lives and the amount of innocent civilian lives abroad that were killed, especially in the Middle East.
	Okay.
	Okay, now, there's a couple things before we go on.
	First, he gets a little anti-war message in there, which is totally off the topic.
	But first, the Golden Gate Bridge and Hoover Dam and all these things did not get us out of anything.
	It was World War II, okay?
	So let's begin with some honesty here.
	This is bullshit.
	Can I ask you a question?
	Thank you.
	But the Golden Gate Bridge, what did that do for us except connect San Francisco to what?
	Right, to nothing.
	Right.
	But here's the other thing about that highway thing.
	I have with me, you know, all the highways.
	Oh, Eisenhower finished the job at the Interstate Highways.
	You have to read from, let's say I have a copy here, believe it or not, of the Locomotive Engineer's Journal from March 1941.
	Awesome bedside reading.
	It's actually quite good.
	They go on and on about the highway.
	They started this highway thing as a scam to put these interstate...
	What is the point of the interstate highway?
	So we could take nice vacations?
	No, it's for the trucking industry.
	That's all it was for, was all it was for to begin with.
	The trucking industry mob and their lobbyists pushed all this through to screw the railroads.
	The railroads had built their own tracks, except for that major track.
	In fact, even the one at the beginning during the Civil War, the railroads had put all these track beds in.
	They bought the property, they put the tracks in, they got the right-of-ways from the government sometimes, but the government wasn't putting the tracks in, it was the railroads, because they were competing with each other.
	And then the government is building all these roads for the truckers, and the railroad, guys, there's editorial after editorial after editorial from 1941 on until the...
	They gave up, bitching about the fact that the government is subsidizing the trucking business, which, by the way, if you want to look at the roots of the destruction of manufacturing in this country, this is part of it, because it decentralized everything, so you didn't have these hubs of manufacturing, you know, these...
	Manufacturing hubs like you once had, where everyone would go and you knew how to do the trading, that you would move things in and out inexpensively on rail, instead of now you have trucks blocking the roads.
	Go to San Francisco, it's amazing you can get anything done, or New York City, where there's these trucks on all the public streets that are just blocking the road.
	It's just a complete disaster, and it all began...
	It wasn't a positive thing, in other words, to put these roads in the way they were.
	I'm convinced that...
	Before you continue, can I just tell you what I always heard about Eisenhower's interstate system?
	That it was also to land aircraft on in time of war.
	That's what I always learned at school.
	That would make sense.
	And people still land on the big interstate.
	Not planned, but yeah, they do land on it.
	That's what I always heard.
	They were built in a particular way so that if there was a war broke out, we could land our aircraft on the interstate system.
	A lot of these projects, I mean, Napoleon III did the same thing in France.
	He built all these big boulevards that everyone just goes, oh, what a great boulevard.
	Those are only so the troops can come in and out of the town easily.
	So a lot of this is military.
	That wouldn't surprise me in the least.
	But the beneficiary of the whole thing were the truckers.
	That's it, period.
	And so I think that's what...
	Which is why I think that the railroads are trying...
	Get the government to put high-speed rail in so they can use it, because they've already been screwed by the government on this thing.
	So this is all bull crap.
	So let's...
	Okay, but it sounds great.
	We can build another Hoover Dam, make a big project.
	Let Obama do it.
	He can't do it now.
	It's a little too late for that.
	So let's play part two, and now you get to see the structure of the upcoming campaign.
	Do you think that President Obama has...
	The gumption, I guess, to carry through what he said in this speech.
	Do you think he's actually going to start commissioning those kind of dreamy, inspirational projects, which will get the whole world gasping in awe?
	Well, I'm hopeful that he will, and that hope is based on the notion that presidents, regardless of party, have more flexibility, or a perceived flexibility in their second term, because there is no Good
	one, John.
	Good one.
	What bullcrap?
	Let's take a look at who most recently, because until Roosevelt, you could do more than two terms, but there was a lot of two-term presidents.
	And more recently, we have Eisenhower.
	Nixon was a two-term president.
	What did we get from him when he let it cut loose?
	He had to resign because he screwed up so badly.
	What did Truman do in his second term?
	What did Clinton do during his second term that let it cut loose?
	He got to cut loose.
	He cut loose all right.
	He cut loose.
	Yeah, he cut loose with Monica Lewinsky and got impeached.
	And then we have Bush.
	What did he do?
	He collapsed the economy in the second term.
	I'm looking at this example of where they got to cut loose in their second term.
	Let's not re-elect these guys, any of them.
	But no, this stooge Alec Baldwin thinks it's a great idea because he gets to cut loose.
	Nobody is cut loose.
	There's no examples of it.
	He's full of shit.
	John C. DeVore at Pet Peeve of the Day.
	Bullshit!
	John!
	Oh, sorry.
	Little applause there.
	Very nice.
	Woo!
	Unfortunately...
	Anyway, so we can be on the lookout for this crap.
	Well, unfortunately, you're wrong.
	That's the only sad thing because, of course, my prediction from the Red Book...
	Is starting to come true with the announcement that was made just this past week.
	But I will never forget the trust you place in me to be your voice.
	Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover.
	I have more work to do on my recovery, so to do what is best for Arizona, I will step down this week.
	I'm getting better.
	Every day my spirit is high.
	I will return and we will work together for Arizona.
	And this great country.
	Uh-huh!
	There you go, ladies and gentlemen.
	Thank you very much.
	Gabrielle Giffords in a Tom Hanks production.
	Could somebody please sound hound this music and tell me where it's from?
	The music is just beautiful.
	Listen to the big finish, crescendo, beautiful.
	I will return, not just for Arizona, but for this great country, as I had already predicted, that this is the hedge from the Democratic Party, to have Gabrielle Giffords.
	And I know people will hate me for saying it, but I don't even believe she was shot in the head.
	I think the whole thing is one big...
	And the Oscar award, the absolute best acting goes to Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
	This was the most disgusting display I've ever seen.
	And when was Debbie Wasserman Schultz even hanging around this woman?
	I didn't know that they were friends.
	Wasserman Schultz is a phony.
	Meryl Streep, who did a fantastic job in Iron Lady, can go home because Debbie Wasserman Schultz, she knows how to act.
	Here she is thanking Gabrielle Giffords as she stepped down in Congress.
	Because I knew that I would not be able to hold it together very long.
	I am so proud of my friend and it will always be one of the great treasures of my life to have met Gabby Giffords and to have served with her in this body.
	In my body!
	We have all been through such a tumultuous year.
	The nation has been through a tumultuous year.
	No one more tumultuous than Gabby and her family and her constituents in her beloved home city of Tucson, Arizona.
	And I know being able to be Gabby's voice today.
	That's great.
	You're doing great.
	Knowing her as well as I do.
	Come on.
	The one thing that has not been said.
	Sniffle.
	There you go.
	Is that Gabby wants her constituents to know.
	Her constituents who she loves so much in southern Arizona that it has been the greatest professional privilege of her life to represent them.
	That she loves them as a fifth generation Tucsonian.
	Yes.
	Cry more.
	We need more crying.
	Come on, you can do it, Debbie.
	A great deal to her.
	And that this is only a pause in that public service and that she will return one day.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	To public service.
	Yes, as president.
	To represent them.
	Yes.
	As she has so capably for the last five and a half years.
	Oh, we need more crying, Debbie.
	Come on.
	Come on, you can do it, girl.
	Come on.
	I'm talking on our IFB here.
	Come on, Debbie.
	A little more sniffling.
	Can we have some more tears?
	Wrap it up, girl.
	Come on, you can do it.
	Bring it home.
	And let me just say a point of personal privilege that for the last year, it has been one of the honors of my life.
	And the most important thing to remember.
	Think of puppies!
	Puppies dying!
	No matter what we argue about here on this floor.
	Cats being mangled.
	There is nothing more important than family.
	Beautiful!
	And friendship.
	Oh, beautiful!
	And that should be held on high above all else.
	And I will always carry that in my heart.
	And even though I know we won't see each other every day.
	Alright, turn her off.
	Now, I have one more clip.
	Because something else happened.
	Something very important happened in Arizona.
	Because, of course, the Obama administration knows what's going on.
	And, you know, we have already discussed that the Republicans and the Democrats want Obama out.
	But they're all very careful because, you know, they don't back down from killing people.
	So here's what happened in Arizona with Jan Brewer.
	To presidential politics now, and check out the intense body language in this photo.
	That's Arizona Governor Jan Brewer giving President Obama a piece of her mind as the President stepped off Air Force One at the Phoenix airport.
	Now Brewer, a Republican, later explained the two exchange words over her characterization in her new book, Of a White House meeting on immigration, Brewer said in that meeting she felt the president was condescending and patronizing towards her.
	Mr.
	Obama had thought the meeting was more cordial than that.
	Arizona's controversial immigration law is headed to the Supreme Court.
	Of course, that had nothing to do with it.
	What was really going on is she was pointing that finger at the president going, listen, douchebag, don't you realize that we've got Giffords all lined up?
	She's all set to go.
	So, no matter, if we can't get a Republican in, we know who's going to be on the inside, and it's not going to be you.
	We've already got the actors in place.
	It's done.
	I'm keeping my prediction firmly on the book, John.
	Your prediction's still in play.
	And I'll give you another one.
	You heard about this, of course, everyone's talking about the big Pelosi secret.
	For those of you who haven't heard it, here she is talking to John King.
	Pelosi's secret.
	Yeah, John King on CNN. What goes through your mind when you think about the possibility, which is more real today than it was a week or a month ago, that he would be the Republican nominee and that you could come back here next January or next February with a President Gingrich?
	Let me just say this.
	That will never happen.
	Why?
	He's not going to be President of the United States.
	That's not going to happen.
	Let me just make my prediction and stand by it.
	It isn't going to happen.
	Why are you so sure?
	There's something I know.
	The Republicans, if they choose to nominate them, that's their prerogative.
	I don't even think that's going to happen.
	All right.
	Now, John, you and I, of course, have been television producers for many, many years.
	We have produced all kinds of television, reality television being one of our fortes.
	Seeing as we have four people left on the island, what would we typically do in a scenario like this?
	What is next in the script when you have four people on the island, but you still have quite a ways to go?
	Well, if you've got quite a ways to go, then you've got to stall the event.
	Yeah, we've got to bring a new contestant on.
	Oh, usually you're bringing one of the old contestants, and so everyone goes, Oh my God, that contestant!
	Weren't you kicked off the island like eight episodes ago?
	And it's always some evil person.
	Ah, how about Jeb Bush?
	Write it down!
	Write it down when you think about it.
	When you think about it, there's almost no delegates have been handed out.
	I mean, whoa, sorry, a little bit of wind here and bone air.
	The big Super Tuesday is what it's all about, and all you need to do is do one big, huge, massive push in the media.
	I think, I really feel Jeb Bush is going to appear on the scene, and he's going to enter the race.
	It's what I would do.
	It's a good script.
	Yeah, it's a perfect script.
	If I was in the writer's meeting and you came up with this, I'd say, great idea, let's do it.
	Let's go with it.
	Let's go with it.
	There's nobody else.
	No!
	I mean, the only other remote possibility is Chris Christie, who's also an evil character that you could bring in at the last minute.
	Yeah, but he's also fat.
	He's already double-booked for The Biggest Loser, so we can't put him on this reality show.
	That's a good point.
	He's already committed to one of these guys.
	Yeah, he already has a deal.
	The other fat guy.
	In fact, there were some other clues here.
	This is the latest Rasmussen report, if you believe anything.
	But they dropped a clue.
	The latest Rasmussen reports national telephone surveys find that 33% of the voters think it would be good if a new candidate entered the presidential race on the Republican side.
	There's our magic number 33, which means to me it's time for Jeb Bush to start polishing the knob.
	It's time for him to step in.
	I mean, that's just a pure sign right there.
	Well, he was supposed to be the president, not George W.
	Yeah, and he's probably waiting...
	Isn't he still governor of Florida?
	No, no.
	He's long gone from governor, and he's gained a lot of weight, which is a problem.
	I'll tell you, here's the giveaway.
	Because if he's going to run, he's going to have to get all his weight off because it doesn't make him look good.
	He's better looking thin.
	He was actually getting fat with a double chin.
	He wasn't even recognizable.
	If he all of a sudden shows up trimmed down anywhere, you see him anywhere doing a thing on Fox or something anywhere...
	And he's all trimmed down looking good?
	That's the clue.
	That's the total clue.
	Right, right.
	Well, that's the check mark.
	Well, if you and I, again, if we were producing it, we'd have already sent our personal trainers out there to get him into shape.
	Oh, yeah.
	They're working him out now.
	They're whipping him.
	Whip it!
	Whip it!
	Can't eat that!
	And then another little...
	Now, Erin Burnett, of course, she's paid to be a part of the reality show.
	This is how it works in television.
	And we're not doing too good with our ratings.
	The State of the Union was down 12.5% from last year, so we've really got to whip things up into shape.
	And she's talking to Jim DeMint.
	Although he gives a glowing review to Ron Paul, particularly for the destruction of the Federal Reserve, she slips something in, which I'm like, what?
	And she actually goats over it, like, this is big news!
	This is hot!
	Hot news right off the press.
	Have a listen.
	You did say some nice things to the Daily Caller about Ron Paul.
	What's the best thing about Ron Paul?
	If we don't listen to Ron Paul's, there are several things, Erin.
	The unaccountable, out-of-control Federal Reserve is going to destroy our monetary system.
	The whole concept of individual liberty and limited government, I mean, that needs to be not only the core of the Republican Party, but American people need to realize that that's what makes us great.
	Not this central government collectivism that we've moved towards now.
	So if Republicans don't listen to Ron Paul, we're going to have a divided party because the other half of the country that wants more from government is united and they're going to elect people who are going to promise more from government.
	Do you think there's any way you could eventually have a ticket that had Ron Paul on it, even if Romney was at the top of it?
	We could.
	I don't know how that's going to end up, and I'm not endorsing anyone, so despite what the articles say, I'd feel good about any of them being elected.
	They all have their good and bad points, but they would all be a lot better than what we've got in the White House right now.
	Before we go, did you know Mitt Romney was a Mexican?
	Hello?
	John, just let me throw this out there.
	Did you know that Mitt Romney is a Mexican?
	What is that?
	You got me.
	That's the clip of the day.
	How can you beat that?
	Well, let's finish it off and then we'll play the jingle.
	I don't know.
	I don't want to get into that.
	All right.
	Is this a versatile question?
	No, no, it is not.
	We are going to be talking about it in a moment.
	It's actually a really neat story.
	You're going to have to stick around and hear it.
	Okay.
	But thank you very much for coming on.
	Clip of the day.
	Aaron, a little more subtlety, please, when delivering the lines.
	I mean, what?
	Wow.
	All right.
	Well, since we're on that track, play Newt Gingrich as Newton Leroy McPherson.
	Oh, no.
	Whip it!
	Whip it!
	So we got people like Newt Gingrich, and I have got some inside information about Newt Gingrich.
	And I have a strange suspicion the reason why Newt is so erratic and unpredictable is that I believe that Newt Gingrich's father was a liberal, educated black man.
	I do.
	You know, because he was raised by a stepfather.
	I'm going to get to that in just a moment.
	I believe that Newt Gingrich, real father, was a liberal but educated black man.
	Because Newt's real name is Newton Leroy.
	McPherson.
	That's when he was born.
	He was born Newton Leroy McPherson.
	Now listen, nobody on the planet names their children Leroy except black people.
	This, of course, is the Reverend Manning.
	Yes.
	Do we need to play more?
	Does it go on?
	It gets funnier.
	Like nobody on the planet names their sons Hector except Hispanic people.
	If your name is Hector, everybody know somewhere down the line you Hispanic homie.
	Homie?
	Do we have that Haley Roy?
	Nobody on the planet except black people name their children Leroy.
	That's why he's so erratic and unpredictable.
	Newt, I suspect, has a black liberal father.
	Newton Leroy McPherson is how he was born.
	Yo, mama.
	I'm calling you, man.
	All right.
	Okay, okay, okay.
	Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
	Wait a minute.
	Is he doing shtick now, man?
	Yeah, totally.
	Obama's behind whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping, whooping with the Constitution.
	He is wholly and totally ineligible.
	He is a criminal!
	Whoop him, Ron!
	Whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him!
	Why don't we play that as an end of show clip?
	We'll play the whole Manning thing.
	Play the whole thing.
	Because it goes on to Romney's also black.
	This is great.
	Romney's a Mexican.
	Did you know that?
	Apparently he's a black Mexican.
	I don't know.
	Enter Jeb Bush, who will save the day for the reality show.
	And then we've got Gabby Giffords on the other side.
	I'm telling you, it's a perfect setup.
	We have not seen anything yet, ladies and gentlemen.
	We are only just beginning.
	We're in the first inning of a long overtime game.
	Yeah, don't they have like 10 or 12 more?
	Extra innings.
	Sorry, I don't want to say overtime.
	Aren't there 10 or 12 more debates scheduled?
	Oh yeah.
	I keep turning on the TV like, oh crap, another debate.
	I didn't even know about it.
	It's just crazy.
	Oh man, Manning.
	Oh boy.
	He's awesome.
	Yeah, it's a good end of show clip.
	Did you see this thing with John Kerry?
	No, I saw John Kerry on some of these shows, but I didn't see the thing.
	What was he doing?
	Oh, well, he's got a black eye, a broken nose.
	You didn't hear about this?
	Oh, yeah, right.
	This is the...
	Yeah, I saw the picture of him.
	He's got a...
	Yeah, supposedly a broken nose and two black eyes.
	It looks like it, but it doesn't look like...
	You know what it looks like to me?
	I mean, I don't know what your theory is.
	I mean, you think maybe the agency...
	I got it.
	My theory is that he had work done.
	No.
	That's a good theory, by the way.
	And first of all, no one's going to believe this hockey story.
	Right, okay.
	He broke his nose playing hockey.
	Alright.
	Yeah, he got slammed.
	No.
	I would have agreed with the work done, although, I mean, I don't see where he had the work done.
	I mean, if it was an eye job.
	An eye lift will give you two black eyes.
	A nose job will give you two black eyes, too.
	Yeah, I would.
	I connected the dots on this one.
	On the very same day, he shows up with black eyes and a broken nose.
	It turns out a former CIA officer was charged with disclosing the identity of a covert CIA officer and by telling journalists the name of an agency officer involved with the interrogation of alleged al-Qaeda leader Abu Zabadeh.
	Who cares?
	This guy's name, Kiraku, worked for John Kerry at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as an investigator.
	What happened is the agency roughed him up.
	They said, you keep your guys in line, Kerry, and then they busted his nose.
	That could be.
	Yeah?
	I mean, I'm not going to argue against that idea because it would make sense.
	And there's no reason you can't rough up these guys.
	I mean, what are they going to do about it?
	Yeah.
	They're shooting your wife or something.
	It's not going to be pleasant.
	What do you think Kerry did?
	I mean, did Kerry let this guy go off the reservation or encouraged him, you think?
	Well, I mean, he obviously knew the guy was working for him, you know, and the guy was working for him up until this happened, and all of a sudden, you know, the guy has to be disappeared because, you know, it's a felony to disclose a CIA officer.
	Unless, of course, you know.
	It's out in the open.
	And I think, you know, we always talk about the CIA being out of control.
	I think they roughed him up.
	They said, listen, man, that's not cool.
	And don't you ever let that happen again.
	Bop!
	This is like the kid that shows up in school and says, oh, the ball hit me in the nose.
	No way!
	Exactly.
	No way!
	He got roughed up.
	Big time.
	Well, it doesn't take much.
	One guy, one strong guy with a good right hook.
	Boom.
	Boom.
	You've got a broken nose, and you walk out.
	You don't have to actually sit there and give them the once-over with shots to the gut.
	Just one strong, broken-nosed punch, that would do it.
	Hey, you know what I forgot to do, John?
	Where are the witnesses to this hockey game?
	Yeah.
	I mean, when John Kerry is playing hockey, you know someone's got their iPhone.
	You know someone's videotaping it.
	None of it.
	Hey, I forgot to do our PR associates.
	I feel pretty bad about that.
	But of course, because we had almost no donors except for one knight who always...
	An African knight at that.
	I did want to mention a few PR activities that took place, as in domain names that are now forwarding to the NoAgendaShow.com website.
	We have Arsonomics.com.
	Which is, apparently, Kenneth Weir thinks that could be a new term, a meme that would crop up, arsonomics.
	I'm not quite sure about that, but it's possible.
	I know what the term would mean as a meme.
	It would refer to destroying things for economic gain.
	Right.
	So it would make sense.
	History books might use it, so it might be useful in like 20 years or so.
	It's still, you know, it's an investment.
	Yeah, so prepay GoDaddy, will you?
	Then we have UAVinthec.com.
	As in Unmanned Aerial VehicleInTheSea.com.
	A stretch again, but I'm liking it.
	Pat Deary actually came in with quite a number of domain names.
	CensoredForYourPleasure.com, which is nice.
	InfiniteGrowthParadigm.com, TeachersWithBenefits.com.
	He's, oh, CrackpotandBuzzkill2016.com, PodcastofCharacter.com, very nice, TwoAmericansOneDrone.com, ConspiracyForOne.com, and my favorite, GlutenFreeStrippers.com, which I think will definitely have some legs.
	And then we have, yeah, JRJ... He says, you know, you certainly were shown right about the mega-upload bust.
	You guys mentioned today on the show you guys should be in on this Superpack gravy train.
	So, I registered noagendasuperpack.com and I'm pointing it to dvorak.org slash NA. And then I donated $60.06 to make sure the link was working.
	So there you go, noagendasuperpack.com, which I think is fantastic.
	And all that, of course, is not tax-free, but I do like the idea.
	And then the great news, and this is very exciting.
	Remember we had to read noagenda.com on the previous episode on Sunday?
	We talked about this idea to transcribe.
	Yes, right.
	Yeah, to have people...
	Right.
	So it worked!
	If you go to 376.readnoagenda.com, episode 376, the previous episode, has been transcribed in its entirety by our producers.
	Now searchable through Google, indexable, and people who are deaf can read the show.
	and quite frankly, it's this technology called fanscribed, which I'd never heard of, but wow, that's like, I'm blown away.
	And if we can keep that up, and these things usually tend to peter out after a while, but all it really takes is, what is it, 30 producers, 30 minutes, and then you're done, and then you've got it.
	That is a huge, huge benefit, and will give us lots of linkage and a history, quite honestly.
	I think it's really good.
	I'm very proud of what our No Agenda family has done once again.
	What do you say?
	Yeah, that was pretty cool.
	Yeah, okay.
	Of course, you can always go out and propagate the formula.
	That's one of the things everybody can participate in.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	You.
	Water.
	Order.
	Hit me now.
	Shut up, slave.
	I'm very proud of all that.
	Oh, one more thing.
	We always have our producer, Kevin, who does the Obama State of the Union Applausometer.
	And he timed it out.
	Yeah, it wasn't radically different in the past, but it was different.
	He's getting less of the opening applause, that's for sure.
	Yes, total speech time, 75 minutes in 2010, about 70 minutes in 2011, 71 minutes in this current year of our Lord.
	Which, by the way, that's too long.
	Yeah, it is.
	Well, it was the same script!
	The speech should be 45 minutes max.
	Well, they spent 24 minutes of applause in 2010, 19 minutes in 2011, and 19 minutes and 45 seconds this year.
	So that's what you get when you do the same script.
	You're going to get the same results.
	Yeah.
	However, if you do the real math, this year 29% was wasted on applause, last year 28% was wasted on applause, and in 2010 a whopping 33%, there's that magic number again, was wasted on applause, and we do thank Kevin for keeping an active rundown.
	And there's something I forgot to mention, John, which I forgot to mention on the last show.
	Just before I left, in fact, Ms.
	Mickey was packing up the car.
	Remember I told you that I had one of those Bed, Bath& Beyond radioactive tissue holders?
	So, a lot of people sent me a similar link, apparently, and not only apparently, but I tried it.
	For Android, there is a Geiger counter app...
	Which uses several of the sensors inside the Android phone, including the cameras, but you have to put black tape over the cameras, and then you have to calibrate it.
	I kid you not.
	I calibrated it in a different room, then I went into the studio where I have this thing, and alarms went off.
	Wow.
	Yeah, it was like, whoop, whoop, whoop.
	I didn't have time to do any more testing.
	And by the way, Miss Mickey walked in and went, are you kidding me?
	And like, no, no, no, don't worry about it.
	I'm just testing something.
	Because she wants to throw them out.
	So I've ordered the official Geiger counters.
	And well, we'll see.
	And how does this work, by the way?
	How can our government, who stops all kinds of bombs and has all kinds of scanning equipment, how can radioactive...
	Junk from China enter our country.
	I mean, is there no testing done at all?
	Are they just dumping their radioactive material into products and shipping them to us?
	It's like, that's a handy way.
	I now wonder what else there is.
	I mean, that's just one item that they caught.
	Who knows?
	If that can get through, because they supposedly can pick up these minuscule amounts of radiation, and if that can get through...
	You know what I'm saying?
	Whoa.
	Yeah, I mean, the place could be contaminated.
	Now, what I'm saying is...
	Hey, citizen.
	Time for everybody to wear a dosimeter.
	Everybody should be wearing a dosimeter.
	Everywhere you go to see if you're not over-radiated.
	We're worried about these body scanners.
	If the products from China are just shipping in.
	I'm telling you, think about the scam.
	Like, you've got nuclear energy.
	Like, eh...
	Hey, Qingtao, what are we going to do with this waste?
	I don't know.
	Bake it into the tissue holder.
	Send it to those stupid Americans.
	Yankee, here you go.
	What a great way to get rid of your nuclear waste.
	Yeah, I think it's a fantastic idea.
	It could be in all kinds of things.
	It could be in your iPhone, for all you know.
	It could be radioactive.
	I don't use an iPhone for good reason.
	Yeah, me neither.
	Radioactive.
	You don't want to hold on to that at all.
	I'm just saying.
	Yeah, well, it's not good news, that's for sure.
	No.
	So, let's see what else we got here.
	I do have, if you want to take a little Real News break, I got a whole stand-up routine that I put together myself.
	And now, back to Real News.
	Okay.
	A lot of these guys, a lot of these politicians think they're funny.
	Yeah.
	So, John McCain's one of the worst.
	I mean, it's not as bad as that milk joke that Obama did.
	What kind of bomb was that?
	Yeah.
	But anyway, John McCain, when he gives speeches, he's always doing jokes.
	And so I took one of his hour and a half long speech.
	And I did about a three minute compilation of all his material and strung it together as though it was a stand-up routine.
	And I thought it would be a nice little break here.
	So Nicky and Mitt know what's coming next, okay?
	There's two inmates in the chow line in the state prison.
	And one of them turns to the other one and says, the food was a lot better in here when you were governor.
	Who are these a-holes who are laughing that long?
	A bunch of veterans.
	That's crazy.
	Some states you can't tell that joke, eh?
	Anyone here from Illinois?
	Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	I don't know.
	I mean...
	Our nation and the world stands in their everlasting debt.
	Myself, as you know, I was able to intercept a surfaced air missile with my own airplane, which was no mean feat.
	That was a McNamara's way of winning the war, as some of you may recall.
	And also, I have to tell you, in a little straight talk here, when I graduated from the Naval Academy, I tried to get into the Marine Corps, but my parents were married.
	And so I'm sure that you understand that.
	After I lost November of 2008, I slept like a baby.
	Sleep two hours, wake up and cry.
	Sleep two hours, wake up and cry.
	Alright, I'll give him that one.
	After...
	If you know, I succeeded Barry Goldwater in the United States Senate.
	And on election night when I was elected, Barry got a little nostalgic.
	And he said, you know, John, if I'd have been elected president in 1964 and beaten Lyndon Johnson, he said, you'd have never spent all those years in a Vietnamese prison camp.
	And I said, you're right, Barry.
	It would have been a Chinese prison camp.
	Anyway.
	Right.
	I'll be here all week.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's pretty funny.
	I don't know.
	You know, it's like, I wonder, you know, he...
	These are the jokes, by the way, I believe he tells all the time.
	Oh, yeah.
	Because I've heard him tell the joke about getting his plane hitting a missile.
	Yeah.
	No, my uncle, Uncle Don, now that he's like 84, I think, he's starting to repeat some of the jokes that I've heard all my life.
	Yeah, no, but he has some pretty good ones, though.
	Tabajo.
	You want me to tell an Uncle Don joke?
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, you should collect these jokes.
	So this is the Chinese, and they want to do some intelligence work.
	Of course, intelligence joke, right, from Uncle Don.
	Some intelligence work.
	They feel that they need to understand American sports.
	To really be able to infiltrate into America.
	So he sends his spy.
	And Uncle Don does all the accents.
	I can't really do it.
	And he's like, you must go to America and you must find out what sport they like so we can infiltrate them and understand.
	And the guy comes back and he says, ah, that bad Japanese accent.
	Yeah, I don't know if it's Chinese.
	I'll just do my accent, okay?
	Just pretend it's Uncle Don with a good Chinese accent.
	Yes, Supreme Leader.
	We have found that there's two or three games.
	They have one game called root ball, football.
	And with football they take an egg made of pig skin.
	And then they throw a ball and run to other side.
	Then he goes, Uncle Donald libraries.
	Then they have baseball.
	Baseball, they throw ball, man hit ball.
	Then they run around bags, and then everyone happy about home run.
	Then they have Tobajo.
	Shit Tobajo is a game, a very, very complicated game.
	Shit Tobajo.
	How does Shit Tobajo work?
	Men go in wood with shtick, and with little ball.
	And man, he tried to hit little ball with shtick.
	He missed, and other man say, Shit Tobajo!
	I know.
	Maybe we should have Uncle Don on the show.
	Yeah, probably.
	Yeah, bring it at H2 with you next time we see him.
	We have to record some of the jokes.
	Hey, let's talk about Iran for a second.
	Yeah, no, I've got a theory here, which one of our producers actually handed to me almost.
	First of all, and I think if you look at the global picture and you see that the elites are pretty much gearing up to crash the entire global economy, and you know, I completely subscribe to that.
	I think that you believe parts of it.
	You certainly think that Europe is going to fall apart.
	But now with the most recent sanctions against the central bank of Iran, something very interesting is happening with my favorite precious metal.
	Here's the report.
	India actually has already bought Iranian oil using gold instead of US dollars and this is extremely significant because every year India actually spends 12 billion US dollars on Iranian oil and now actually Beijing is also saying that it might want to jump on board with New Delhi and also look into some sort of agreement with Iran to continue to get oil.
	New Delhi and Beijing actually account for 40% of the imports of Iranian oil.
	The EU only counts for 20%.
	Obviously, we've been talking all week about this oil embargo that the EU announced on Monday that they're hoping to roll out and put into place by July 1st.
	And obviously, if New Delhi and Beijing find a way to continue trading with Iran using gold instead of US dollars, this would severely Hurt what the European Union and Washington is trying to do.
	Russia has also said that it wants to continue trading with Iran using domestic currencies instead of US dollars.
	Obviously the point of the EU oil embargo would be to bring Iran back to the negotiations table over its nuclear program.
	Obviously Iran has said, consistently maintained that this is a peaceful nuclear program.
	The West believes that they are potentially developing nuclear weapons.
	Take a memo, John.
	Remind our producers at Russia today that they tell the talent to stop using the word obviously.
	It's getting a little obvious, if you know what I mean.
	Yeah, it's pretty bad.
	Yeah, so the result of this...
	Is that gold, of course, now popped well over $1,700.
	If you and I were producing this and we wanted to destroy the entire economy and, of course, the U.S. dollar to go along with it, we'd love to have lots of gold for the new currency, the new world currency, the global money that we will put in its place.
	And I think this is a ramp up and it makes a lot of sense because who in their right mind doesn't understand that when you close down the central bank of a country that trades in oil that of course that's going to actually hurt the dollar and it's going to increase the value of gold.
	Isn't this like a very simple obvious set up?
	I don't know.
	No.
	Yeah, it is.
	Here's what I think.
	Here's the script I would run.
	Since we obviously want to screw over Iran for one reason or another, I think a lot of it's still paid back from the time that they stole our embassy people, which was completely against all the international law.
	We've never really done anything about that.
	You cut them off from being able to trade in the dollar by screwing their central bank with essentially an act of war.
	Force them to buy or sell their oil for gold and in the process jack up the price of gold at maybe $1,800.
	Get them loaded up with the stuff and then pull the plug on the price of gold, sink the price of gold, which will screw them over.
	They'll end up selling their oil for less than cost because they're going to be stuck with all this gold that's going to be worth less.
	I think that would be a much more interesting plan.
	No, I see.
	See, the reason you'll never listen to something like that is because as far as you're concerned, gold is worth $5,000 an ounce and it's just underpriced.
	No, I've never said that.
	I said $3,000.
	And I believe, I have some more data points here.
	This is Kyle Bass, investor who was interviewed just this past week.
	And here he is talking about his discussion with an Obama administration official about what they're going to do to the dollar.
	How do you solve a problem where you're spending 10% of, you know, you're running a 10% fiscal deficit?
	You're not going to get growth in the absence of private sector credit demand.
	So the government's idea right now is we're going to export our way out of this.
	And when I asked a senior member of the Obama administration last week, how are we going to grow exports if we won't allow nominal wage deflation?
	And he says, we're just going to kill the dollar.
	There you go.
	They're just going to kill the dollar.
	That is their plan, John.
	Their plan is to kill the dollar.
	Their plan is to have lots of gold on hand.
	I think that's why it was down so much.
	Why are we letting it accumulate in Iran?
	It makes no zero sense.
	What do you mean?
	Letting the gold accumulate?
	You'd think for a second that they're our actual enemy?
	I think they're all playing under the same hat.
	What?
	Iran?
	Yes!
	Yeah, I'm not going to buy that one.
	Now, let me tell you what's going to happen next.
	So, of course, the script continues.
	We have Iran threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz.
	Now, that won't actually happen.
	Which I believe is bullcrap.
	I don't think they really...
	Where's the real threat?
	I don't think so.
	No, no.
	They're not going to do it, but we need a false flag.
	Right?
	Right.
	Right, which is why we have all those ships floating around.
	Let's take a look at these ships, and this is what Citizen Sea Mike helped me out with.
	We have a particular ship...
	In the Straits of Hormuz, now everyone's looking at the Abe Lincoln, but let's look at the Big E. This is the USS Enterprise, which has also been sent to the Straits of Hormuz.
	This ship is supposed to be decommissioned in the next 60 days.
	It is an eight-reactor nuclear ship.
	Do you know what it takes to decommission eight nuclear reactors in a ship like that?
	Wouldn't it be kind of handy if we just blew that one up in the Straits of Hormuz?
	Wouldn't that be...
	And I... Thank you, C-Mike.
	You totally put me onto something.
	I am so...
	Believe in this now.
	Why else would you send this thing over there?
	You don't like it.
	Well...
	I can't answer that question.
	I mean, I don't think that we're going to do a lot of air-to-air combat.
	No, but we need a false flag.
	We've done this before, and it's been admitted, right?
	We've blown up our own ships to start stuff.
	What's the most famous example?
	Well, remember the Maine.
	The Maine, and the Nina, the Pinto, and the Santa Maria, I think.
	Weren't they all blown up?
	Weren't they all false flags?
	You broke up.
	What was the other ones?
	Never mind.
	It was a bad joke.
	No, we had...
	What was the other one?
	God is on my side.
	Come on, what was the other one?
	It was a very famous one.
	With Isotania.
	Wasn't that with Eisenhower?
	Sorry?
	Yeah.
	Come on.
	It's a famous false flag.
	Well, there's a lot of famous false flags.
	I don't know the one during the Eisenhower administration.
	The Gulf of Tonkin, what was that ship?
	That was during the Johnson administration.
	That was in Vietnam, and that was a...
	That was the Lusitania.
	Was that the Lusitania?
	No, no, no.
	The Lusitania is like World War I. The Gulf of Tonkin, it was a...
	It was a...
	I don't know if we should actually...
	That was an attack, supposedly.
	I don't know if it was a ship sunk.
	Let's take a look.
	Yeah, I think the only thing left to do here is...
	That, I think, is what we need to do.
	The USS Liberty is what the...
	Well, that was Pearl Harbor.
	Well, you're just mixing up one thing.
	I have no idea.
	The USS Maddox.
	The Maddox?
	Hmm.
	Nah, I'm just messing it all up.
	I, you know...
	Yeah, you are.
	But anyway, keep your eye on...
	The USS Maddox.
	The name's given to two separate confrontation.
	One actually now realized is non-existent.
	So it wasn't really a false flag.
	It was just bullshit.
	There's a difference.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, they blew the town up.
	There's no false flag.
	It's just bullcrap.
	What's the difference, really?
	False flag bullshit.
	It's the same thing.
	Both of them work fine for me.
	Keep your eye on the USS Enterprise.
	It's also very symbolic because Captain Kirk, of course, piloted the Starship Enterprise.
	It would be the perfect ship for a false flag.
	Well, that would be a nasty event, that's for sure.
	For one thing, that thing is huge.
	Yeah.
	And if that was anywhere near the Gulf of Hormuz.
	Well, it's in there.
	And it's sunk.
	Yeah, I know.
	And it's sunk there on fire or radioactive.
	I mean, it would be a disaster.
	There's no way they're going to try to pull that off.
	That's way too complicated.
	I don't know.
	We don't kill everybody.
	You think they would kill our own people?
	No.
	There's no gambling going on here.
	Yeah, don't get me started on that.
	I don't know.
	I was like, whoa, really?
	And there's more where that came from.
	I'm not convinced that they wouldn't like to do something like that.
	We have so many insane people right now, John, in our government.
	So many insane maniacs.
	This'll work!
	If they're beating up senators...
	Would you like to be in some of these meetings?
	Holy mackerel.
	Oh, wow.
	What?
	Are you crazy?
	Can't do that.
	Sure we can.
	We can get away with it, too.
	Let me show you how.
	Well, you know, the reason...
	I'm just seeing all of this ramping up.
	We've got Christine Lagarde, you know, the leatherhead is what I'll call her.
	She's coming out and running around all over Europe saying, well, you know, it would be very easy to slip into a Great Depression.
	We've got Soros saying, we will have angers rising on the streets of America.
	It is going to be inevitable.
	I mean, why do these people do this?
	I think they do it because they're really low on the totem pole.
	I think they do it because they want to say, see, I told you so.
	I had it in the red book.
	That's the only reason.
	They just want to be right so they can emerge.
	Yeah, because in Soros, you have another best-selling book.
	Yeah, so they can emerge later and say, see, I told you.
	I called it, baby.
	I called it.
	That's the only reason because these people are idiots.
	Meanwhile, it actually really is all happening in Europe.
	So a lot of people emailed me this NPR report...
	It was actually This American Life.
	Did you by any chance hear this?
	No.
	So NPR, National Treasure, does a five-piece, or as they even call it Act I, Act II, Act III, Act IV, Act V, as to why we should care about the euro here in America.
	And I'll give you a synopsis.
	The way they laid out the story is, of course, what is completely true, that they changed all the money.
	Everyone had the euro.
	So, of course, Greece had the same money valued the same way as the Germans had.
	And so countries like Greece and Portugal and Spain and Italy could go and borrow lots of money at low interest rates.
	And everybody did.
	And everyone built crazy stuff.
	And they soaked the EU. Now, we all agree on that.
	But what NPR says, and they don't actually answer this in the documentary or this piece, which is the key question, is how the Bureau of Standards and Statistics, or whatever it's called in Greece, how they had a new guy come in, a technocrat, and he said, hey, wait a minute, you guys don't have 7.5% debt, you have 16% debt.
	And the way NPR spins the tour is the story, which I think is the lie, is that this guy came in and found the truth.
	What I think is this guy was sent in to tell the lie.
	And that maybe Greece never even had that horrible deficit.
	Because what they're saying is everyone knew Greece was really bad.
	Everyone just believed the numbers.
	They never checked on it.
	And it was, oh, we'll deal with that later.
	I think this was so set up years and years and years ago, this was all meant to happen, John.
	It was all meant to happen, and it's going to go down.
	The euro might actually, as you predict, implode, but it's going to result in the United States of Europe, or Euroland, as we like to call it.
	I have a meme fest here from PIMCO. These are the guys who actually wrote all the bonds.
	This is the co-founder of PIMCO. PIMCO is the California company that basically does all the bond work.
	They arrange for all these loans through sovereign bonds.
	Isn't that how it works?
	I'm no.
	I mean, yes, but I'm not sure.
	I don't know the company, personally.
	It's a global investment company.
	I don't know that they're in California.
	Are they in California?
	Yes.
	North Beach.
	Oh, yeah, they're in Newport Beach.
	Newport Beach.
	Newport Beach, right.
	I do know who they are.
	Well, NPR actually says that they're the ones that wrote out all of the bonds for Greece, and then they sold all their bonds the minute this happened, and that's what made everything basically topple and domino.
	So they're blaming this squarely on PIMCO based upon this technocrat who came in and who everyone says, oh, he was telling the truth, but I think the guys at Shill came in to tell the lie, and it may not be 16%, and now PIMCO... This guy comes out with a meme fest about the euro, which is just too funny.
	Yeah, I think so.
	Changing the laws ex post is a pretty significant event, but whether they change the law or not, I think, Ali, Greece is going to default, whether explicitly or covertly, via what they call voluntary agreements with creditors.
	I think what's important for investors To consider is that Greek haircuts are just an extreme form of ongoing solutions within Euroland and other developed country financial markets, primarily in Euroland.
	And creditors are going to get haircuts via either principal loss in Greece or negative real interest rates in what we call the cleanest dirty shirt countries.
	I love this.
	So not only is he using Euroland over and over again, which we love to use, but the new term is the cleanest, dirtiest shirt.
	What the hell was it?
	What did he say?
	Let me listen again.
	Either principal loss in Greece or negative real interest rates in what we call the cleanest, dirty shirt.
	The cleanest, dirty shirt.
	The cleanest, dirty shirt.
	And that's America, by the way.
	We're the cleanest, dirty shirt.
	This is a great meme.
	I think you're going to hear this a lot.
	I like it.
	This guy's good.
	The cleanest dirty shirt.
	So he's saying that basically the whole world is going to come crumbling down because even the cleanest dirty shirt, which would be the United States bond, by the time your bond matures at its 1% or 2% interest rate, which is the money you make, Inflation will have gone up, so you basically are at a negative in your investment.
	...countries.
	This is financial repression in a multitude of forms that's going to be with us for years to come.
	Years to come.
	Well, I see Greece first, and it could be a month or two before they, you know, give up the ghost and depart the zone.
	But other countries...
	Give up the ghost?
	I love this guy.
	...as well.
	And, you know, it's hard to pick on, you know, certain countries, but we know who they are.
	You know, Now listen to the countries.
	We know who they are.
	Well, there's only one he doesn't mention.
	Portugal, Spain, perhaps.
	These are countries, Ali, that can't get out from under the burden of a currency from which they can't devalue.
	Basically, in Spain, in Portugal, in Greece, their labor markets are extremely overvalued and typically what a country does is basically devalue its currency in order to make their products more competitive.
	They can't do that because the currency is controlled by Germany and the Euro is still relatively strong.
	Yeah, thank you for that lesson in economics.
	He doesn't mention Italy, which leads me to believe that Italy is the one that's on the brink.
	In fact, Italy has now come out and said they need a trillion euros.
	And this guy doesn't mention them, so that to me is very, very fishy.
	Well, there's something that's been fishy about Italy since the beginning of the promotion of the euro.
	When they did their exchange of euros per lira, they didn't do the math right.
	So everything immediately became more costly in Italy in such a weird way that I always found it to be quite fishy.
	Things weren't cheap there anymore.
	It was just the whole economy was just switched over to this.
	It's like all of a sudden everything in the United States was costing like 30% more just overnight for no reason.
	Well, a lot of countries did that.
	You know, the Netherlands, we saw the same...
	I was living there at the time, and when they switched to the euro from the gilder, and at the time, I think it was pegged at two gilders to the euro, so you would buy a cucumber for two gilders, and the next day you walked in the store, and it was like two euros.
	I was like, what?
	They just put a euro sign in front of everything, and everyone knows it.
	Everyone knows this is what went on.
	It was nuts.
	I mean, coffee...
	It's like 5 euros for a coffee, which is 10 guilders.
	You tell people, it's like, I can't believe I'm buying a cup of coffee for 10 guilders.
	It happened here in Bonaire.
	It happened last year when they went to the dollar.
	Same thing.
	It's just everyone just put a dollar sign in front of it.
	Okay.
	And they were using guilders here too.
	No, no, no.
	This is how you screw up the world.
	This is, I think this, really, this thing has been going on for a long, long time.
	1956, it was planned, and it's coming home to roost.
	And they're going to pull it off, John.
	They're actually going to pull it off.
	Yeah, but what do they accomplish?
	Just screw everybody.
	I mean, if you've got all the money and the power, the only thing left to do is just watch the slaves and the grovel in the dirt.
	Well, they're going to get themselves, they're going to find, a lot of people are going to find their head on top of a stick.
	I don't know who they're kidding.
	Maybe in America, because we all have guns, but I don't think anywhere else.
	Well, the Middle East has guns.
	Eh, the Middle East.
	I'm worried about this.
	This is about United States and the United States of Europe, or Euroland.
	It's time for us to get screwed.
	And I don't know.
	They're going to pull it off.
	We're already seeing it in our donations.
	No one's got money.
	Well, apparently.
	Let's take a look at that for a second.
	It'll be a short segment.
	I'm going to show my school by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda.
	We need more love.
	In the morning.
	Well, we do have some love.

	Morning, John Danner, first-time donor, semi-long-time boner.
	I'm a human resource who contributed at Monsanto and textbooks back in episode 251 regarding GMOs and biodiversity.
	I just wanted to show my support to you guys.
	There's some donation loving.
	I'd like a dedouching and a bit of karma to help me with some personal shite to get my food slinging for retired shills and some MILF action.
	Wait a minute.
	I'm confused now.
	He needs dedouching, karma, and some MILF action?
	I think he doesn't ask for...
	He just wants MILF action.
	I don't think he wants to call anyone a MILF. So just give him a dedouching and a karma.
	You've been dedouched.
	You've got karma.
	We'll leave it at that.

	I can donate to Dr.
	Ron Paul's campaign, so I'll donate to no agenda instead.
	Oh, no, he says he can't donate to Dr.
	Paul, so he'll donate to us.
	Could use some karma for my motorbike exam this Friday and would still like to keep my apartment.
	Well, why don't we focus the karma on the apartment then?
	I think that's probably important.
	You've got karma.
	By the way, I got...
	Go ahead, I'll tell you later.
	You got what?
	I'll tell you later.
	Don't worry about it, I'll tell you later.
	You got a motorcycle?
	No, no, I'll tell you later.

	Uh-huh.

	Dear John and Adam, I could really use a karma shout-out because I just got through a terrible week.
	First someone sideswiped my car and ran off, so I had to buy a new rim and side mirror.
	Then I found out I owed my school a bunch of money.
	We talked about that earlier.
	And right as I get my car back, another tire blows out.
	Anyway, I could really appreciate it because I need this month to turn around.
	And oh, can you call my friend Kyle out as a douchebag?
	Douchebag!
	He's been listening as long as I have and has never donated.
	Thanks for all the love.
	You've got karma.
	Wow.
	I wonder if he got those new rims that spin.
	I love those rims.
	Those are my favorite things ever.
	Look at them, man.
	They're spinning.
	They're spinning, brother!

	Brooklyn, New York, 6666.
	The first show I listened to, 376.
	I first thought I was an MDA telethon.
	It sounded so pathetic.
	All this money groveling.
	Didn't know if I should feel bad or what.
	Anyway, keep up the good work and buy yourselves a new mic or something.
	It sounds terrible compared to your Sunday gig.
	Keep it up.
	Keep it up, Ben.
	And a fan since PC Magazine.
	I guess that wasn't directed at me.
	Well, can I just say that, you know, we are doing the show during what should be a restful holiday.
	Instead, I spend all my time fighting evil doing show prep.
	But okay, you know, we're a pathetic MDA telethon.
	Here's some karma for you, okay, Meyer?
	You thought karma.
	Wow.
	I didn't really want karma.
	No, I gave him karma because, you know, when you give the karma, you get it back.

	5510, double nickels on the dime.
	Hey, citizen!
	Hey, citizen!
	In the morning, John and Adam.
	Greetings from the Drone Star State.
	Please accept this love.
	We've got lots of memes here.
	Please accept this love.
	In addition to my usual monthly subscription amount, can I please get a shot of karma as a birthday shout-out for the upcoming birth of my newest human resource, Cannon Carpenter, which will occur this Sunday, January 29th, 2012.
	Thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
	We'll give him a karma.
	You've got karma.
	And we'll give him a birthday later today, just in case it doesn't come out.
	It comes early.

	John and Adam, my citizen boyfriend and I, were a little bummed that we didn't get to catch the State of the Union on Tuesday.
	But then I remember, that's what you do so we don't have to.
	There's a little something.
	If you heard the last one from 2011 or the one before that, you've already heard the State of the Union.
	So here's a little something to say.
	Thanks for all you guys do.
	We appreciate that.
	Anonymous, Mr.
	Anonymous in Baltimore, Maryland, double nickels on the dime.
	Another double nickels on the dime.
	It was a year ago that I started donating.
	Also, some karma would be nice.
	Thanks for the great show.
	John, could you move into the link with Fox Clear Channel and MSNBC as mentioned last week?
	Could you go more into the...
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, you mean all the money link?
	Yeah, I'm going to write that out as a short white paper that I'll send out to people who are...
	Here's the karma.
	You've got karma.
	So if you're on the mailing list or you want to see that, I'll do a white paper on this connection and I'll send it out to everyone on the mailing list.
	If you're not on the mailing list, please go to one of our sites and get on the mailing list, for God's sake.
	By the way, you know, I thought for a second I'd take that MDA telethon as an insult, but have you ever seen how much money they raise on those things?
	Millions.
	Like $100 million.
	We should be walking funny.
	That's how you get money.

	You've got karma.
	I think I've looked at dakotabisonfurniture.com once before.
	They make stuff.
	Yeah, nice furniture made of bison, don't they?
	Dead bison.
	Dead bison.
	There's nothing like it.
	David Daniels, Dallas, Texas.
	5412 in the morning, John.
	And I recently suggested I look for unclaimed property, so I went to the Texas unclaimed property website, performed a search on my name, and found 5412 from my previous energy provider, so I'm sending you the proceeds.
	By the way, everyone should do this.
	You've got money the state's holding.
	Hey!
	This is great.
	Wait a minute.
	This is fantastic.
	How does this work?
	I've never heard of this before.
	Look, you're in a state, whatever state, California.
	You actually have to look at all the states.
	You'd be surprised what it might be.
	I have something in New York, for example.
	You just go Google search unclaimed property, state of California, and find the California state site.
	It'll be an unclaimed property site.
	You type your name in there, maybe your social security number, and it comes up with a list of all this money that they're holding from closed bank accounts, refunds you never picked up, whatever.
	God knows what.
	There's always about $1,000 in there.
	Wait a minute.
	So I lived in New Jersey for 12 years.
	You don't be there.
	Really?
	Okay.
	Well, you do these donations.
	Let me see if I can pick up some money.
	Yeah, it might help with it.
	Apparently, David Daniels found $54.12.
	Nice!
	Everyone should be doing this.
	What a great...
	This is fantastic.
	Yeah, he says, recommends all no-agenda listeners to search for unclaimed property in their name and donate a portion of the proceeds.
	It's not a really great idea.
	I'd give David a kudos for that.

	Reported by not disclosed.
	Amount not disclosed.
	Everyone else got like a hundred bucks, but I have not disclosed.
	Oh, you might have a fortune there.
	Let's see what it says.
	Anyway, Hank Vaver says burp for some reason.
	Let me get the rest of these done, then you can look that up.
	Okay.
	Okay, we got, and these are all $50 donations from various people with no comments.
	Greg Steerly, Sir P. Snakes.

	Mike Bernstein in Bettendorf, Iowa.
	Bozeman Sporting Goods in Wilmington, North Carolina.
	Beautiful state.
	Probably a great store.
	And Peter Tote, Sir Peter Tote from Parts Unknown, $50.
	And that will be our donors for today's show.
	377.
	I want to remind people to go to dvorak.org slash NA or channel dvorak.com slash NA and other sites to help us out because this was a pretty grim...
	Dvorak.org slash N-A And Miss Mickey would like to remind everybody that giving is loving and donating is love and, well, here it is.
	Giving is loving at givingloving.com So if I can find anything...
	The wind is picked up here in Bonaire.
	If I can find anything, John, I'm going to split it with you.
	So here it is.
	There's a state property ID. I've got an ID number.
	Property type not disclosed reported by...
	Why is it not disclosed?
	That's really weird.
	It might actually be real property.
	So if the name listed is a deceased relative or friend...
	Okay, no.
	Alright, so yes, I can claim.
	I can claim.
	Click.
	This is exciting.
	Oh, now I have to do a state claim inquiry.
	Okay, well I'll do that after the show.
	I've never seen that before.
	Usually there's just an amount there, and then you have to go through the rigmarole, either getting it straight.
	Some of these processes involve getting a notarized signature.
	You know what's going to happen?
	I'm going to fill out my information, and then they're going to come and get me.
	They're probably like, you owe money, mother.
	You owe money.
	I'm not going to fill this out.
	It's a funny idea.
	I admire your paranoia, but this operation wouldn't do that.
	They don't play that game that I know of.
	It's a great idea.
	Maybe I'm giving them an idea.
	It's like the phony lottery.
	You've won the lottery.
	Come by and pick it up, and then they arrest you.
	I'm worried about this.
	See, they want my first name, middle name, current address.
	Duh.
	And my social security number?
	This can't be good.
	You sound like my mother.
	Thank you.
	My mother did one of these things.
	She had like a hundred bucks from some stock or something and she refused to fill out anything.
	She thought the whole thing was a giant scam to get her.
	Did your mom go around and tell people to get off her lawn?
	She had never...
	My mom...
	My mom's deceased, by the way, for anyone who wants to, so I'm not making fun of the living.
	No.
	So, uh...
	It's more fun to make fun of the dead.
	My mom always would tear...
	She had these houses...
	She'd tear the lawn out and put in just these horrible shrubs that were just, like, invasive, essentially.
	So, no, she never told people to get off the lawn, because if you guys stepped in there, you'd be stuck in there.
	Oh, I came stuck in here!
	I can't get out!
	She had, like, bear traps and stuff.
	One note from Jennifer.
	Hi, John and Adam.
	I'm hoping you can give my fabulous husband Gary some karma for a new job he starts on Monday.
	It took over a year to find a good fit, and I'm hoping it will be a rewarding change.
	He also celebrates his 51st birthday on Thursday.
	He shows infinite patience when I try and propagate the formula to our friends, which of course is always tough.
	Your show has completely changed the way we watch and read the news, and while it made us angrier people...
	We'd much rather have the veil lifted.
	Keep up the great work, says Jennifer, so yes, of course, we'd be happy to do that.
	You've got karma.
	And we'll go right into this.
	On No Agenda!
	So we'll start off with Jennifer congratulating her husband with his birthday, his 51st, and of course he's got some brand new job karma.
	Jonathan Carpenter congratulating in advance his baby Cannon Carpenter due at the end of the month.
	And Rory Stone gives himself a big happy birthday wish.
	He turns 25 today.
	Happy birthday on behalf of all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	And one more time to program your brain because we really need all the help we can get.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Because we just can't do a telethon.
	And I want to remind people, we should, and I want to remind, just to direct it at our friend, I want to remind people that if you go to Dvorak.org slash NA, there is a mailing address for people who hate PayPal or they want to use some other system or they just want to send a check, you know, or they want to do a...
	A lot of people have gone to their banks...
	And they do this payment system.
	The banks send a check to us every week, every month, every whatever.
	And it doesn't cost anything.
	It's such a cheap service.
	The banks pay for the postage and everything.
	It's just a time payment system.
	It's very interesting.
	And all the banks do it.
	I think if you have online banking, you can do it as well, right?
	And they'll just mail the check.
	And there's an address at dvorak.org slash na or noagendasuperpack.com That is a very important address to remember.
	Noagendasuperpack.com.
	Help us out with our 2016 bid.
	Are we still in the running for that?
	We should probably set a superpack up.
	Yeah, I mean, is it tax-free?
	Yeah.
	Really?
	You have to spend it on education, though, I think.
	Which means buying ads.
	Well, we can buy ads for people to give us money.
	There's rules.
	I'm just saying.
	Just a thought.
	Hey, MegaUpload.com lost their Robert Bennett, Clinton's defense attorney.
	I guess that news wasn't supposed to leak out.
	And, you know, he defended Clinton and McNamara, and they all of a sudden came out and said, Oh, no, we've got a conflict of interest.
	We can't represent Mega Upload.
	Yeah, right.
	What conflict of interest?
	Yeah.
	Right.
	I know.
	Isn't it funny?
	What?
	What possible conflict of interest are we talking about?
	Well, they won't tell us.
	And now everyone's saying, yeah man, the reason why MegaUpload.com got busted is because they were coming out with an iTunes competitor.
	Yeah, oh yeah, right.
	That would have worked.
	People really don't know how the music business works, do they?
	They really don't understand.
	Apparently not, no.
	And you're going to hear this.
	You're going to hear people speak with such high authority about, oh yeah, because they had this great system, it was a complete iTunes killer, and that's why they got busted.
	No.
	They got busted to show you a lesson.
	And by the way, let me congratulate you, John, on being completely right about the OPEN Act, that now being pushed to the forefront as predicted.
	SOPA PIPA was just a smokescreen to bring out OPEN. And in the background, this DNSSEC thing, that is very troubling to me.
	Have you been following the SecureDNS?
	No, tell me about it.
	So the SecureDNS system, the way it's supposed to work is this is going to work with certificates, with security certificates.
	And we all know that there's been a couple of problems, particularly in Gitmo Nation Lowlands, where the certificates, the Dutch government certificates, had been hacked by whoever knows who did it, but they were hacked.
	So certificates is a problem because you have to trust the person or the entity, the company that is issuing the certificate.
	So the way it works is when you type in like noagendasuperpack.com, it's going to do a lookup on a DNS server, but it's going to do it in a secure fashion.
	If it doesn't get a proper key, then it will try the next one and the next one and the next one, and it goes down the line until it finally gets a real authoritative DNS server that has the proper key, which is hackable.
	What happened just recently is, just to show how bad the system actually is, I think it's a single point of failure now, NASA.gov, on the day of the SOPA-PIPA explosion, everyone on Comcast could not get to NASA.gov because someone had misconfigured their key.
	So, therefore, if you were on Comcast, you couldn't get to NASA.gov.
	So it just shows you that the real power is all in ICANN. It's all in the DNS system.
	And I think people are just being misled.
	Everyone's running around looking at all these bills and everything.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	The technical infrastructure is being changed as we speak.
	And we've got to see who's going to replace Rod Beckstrom at the ICANN. Because that will be the shill that's going to completely push it through.
	I think you were a genius in seeing the open act as the next one.
	We've got...
	CAICO, which is another act.
	What does that stand for, CAICO? That's another blacklist.
	Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeit Act.
	Yeah, and there's also the one I think where the real damage is going to take place.
	Is the...
	The child, the pornography...
	The anti-child pornography bill, which you can slip anything into that because no one can say anything.
	That's the scam.
	Right.
	Is you create a pornography, kiddie porn in particular, not just pornography, and if anybody objects to it, you're obviously...
	You're a pornographer.
	Yeah.
	You're a pornographer.
	They're a pervert or something.
	Yeah, you're into kiddie porn.
	Even though it may have some defense appropriation for all you know.
	These bills, especially when they're named certain, you know, the naming of the bill is the giveaway that's a fraud.
	Right.
	Well, there's lots of links in the show notes, which is part of the service we give to you, 377.nashownotes.com.
	You can read all about, because Comcast actually released a very detailed report of what happened, and it was a, I guess, pretty much a legitimate mistake.
	That some techno expert made, so the key wasn't double-signed with the old key or whatever, but then you see how it works, and all of a sudden it's like Comcast, one of the largest ISPs in Gitmo Nation proper here, just refused to resolve to NASA.gov.
	So it's showing you where the true power is, and it's not in these bills.
	It's a technical thing that's going to happen.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	More good news.
	So I was listening to, I clipped this before, but I had to bring it back up because I, every time I, I realized that I was always, you know, talking about Vivek Kundra as being full of crap.
	Yeah.
	But his buddy, and they'd hang out together, who hired him because it was Anishopra.
	Yeah.
	And essentially, when Kundra was running the Washington, D.C. CTO thing, he hired Anish, and then when Anish got the job as the CIO CTO, whatever the hell he is, in Washington working for Obama, he hired Vivek.
	I mean, so they would hire each other.
	And let us point out that when Vivek Kundra was running, I think he was running Virginia, it was his guys who were looking at the president's passport records.
	Remember that?
	It was his guys.
	So he was involved in all of that.
	So he's an important dude, which is now why he's...
	Where is he?
	Didn't he get some high-flying job at...
	What's the...
	Salesforce.com.
	Yeah, he's a vice president of international sales or something.
	Yeah, whatever.
	It's just something amiss with that.
	So I took a couple of clips here where he's talking about one thing or another and he's all giddy about Michelle Obama getting a Twitter account.
	So I want to play these two things.
	And just to listen to this guy, I realize he's just better or worse than the other guy.
	Wait a minute.
	You have two clips.
	I had the wrong one.
	Yeah, I got Michelle Obama on Twitter, which I think is funny.
	And the other one is I got it.
	All right.
	Which one are you on first?
	Now, a more fun subject.
	Michelle Obama just started tweeting.
	Recently, President Obama already tweets.
	Is this something that you encourage, or is this all Michelle?
	Oh, well, the country is finding new and creative ways to communicate.
	And we, like every other...
	A member of our society wish to have that conversation where people are.
	I'm a member of Twitter.
	I've got an account at Anish Chopra.
	Would love to get your engagement.
	We have accounts on other social media systems because we want to open up our government and make it easier for folks both to know what's happening in Washington and as well to hear from the American people in new and creative ways.
	Huh.
	He knows all these buzzers, engagement, folks, all this.
	You know, the guy should be working for Microsoft.
	He's just a flim-flammer.
	Wait a minute.
	I think our people should tweet him and say, I'd like to engage with you.
	This guy's an idiot.
	Yeah, if you think he's an idiot, play this clip, which is what is this guy saying?
	And then tell me when you're done listening to it, what he said.
	There are voluntary measures today to reduce the economic benefits accruing to illegal internet pharmacies.
	There are voluntary transactions today to better educate consumers on how and what they're doing if they were to visit one of these sites that are known to be, in the spirit of the DMCA, where you are basically found to have potentially taken information that you shouldn't have.
	have potentially taken information that you shouldn't have.
	So we have today's Internet economy accepts voluntary industry standards activities to move forward on these key policy issues, be it privacy, intellectual property, and piracy.
	By the way, we are on record for this.
	In fact, part of the responsibility I have for the president is to unleash a set of Internet policy principles in conjunction with countries affiliated with the OECD.
	In June of this past year, we have embarked on a global effort.
	Thirty-four countries have endorsed a set of Internet policy principles that engage in the openness of the Internet while bringing people together in a voluntary industry standards consensus-driven model to make progress on these policy-important priorities for the country and the world.
	I just threw up in my mouth.
	It's like that video of those two douchebags trying to, you know, convince this guy to invest in the company.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I was missing the attack vector dashboard.
	That's the only thing that he didn't throw in there.
	Yeah, he looked at the dashboard.
	But internet policy principle, what the hell does that even mean?
	Well, the chat room disagrees with my DNS statement, but that's what I think he's alluding to.
	It's like, you know, the DNS sec thing.
	Everyone thinks this is great.
	Chopra's an idiot.
	He's really bad.
	Anyway, that's my little aside for the...
	I have another one that I picked up.
	This was one that I actually dug up from an old talk that Obama gave at a prayer meeting.
	And I just thought it was kind of peculiar because of the...
	There's a piece of information here that was kind of interesting to me.
	But play the Obama...
	There's Obama talking to a Christian group and talking about how he's such a Christian.
	But he's got a little factoid in here that I thought was unusual.
	Hold on a second.
	I started it a little early.
	Let me try again.
	And it was through that experience, working with pastors and lay people, trying to heal the wounds of hurting neighborhoods, that I came to know Jesus Christ for myself.
	And embrace Him as my Lord and Savior.
	Yeah.
	Now, that was over 20 years ago.
	Yeah, that's when I quit, too.
	Wait, 20 years ago?
	So how old is this guy?
	He's like, what?
	Obama?
	He's 47?
	No, no, he's 50.
	Didn't he just have his 50 birthday?
	Oh, yeah, 50.
	You're right, 50.
	So at the age of 30... He had his come to Jesus meeting.
	At the age of 30, because most Christians that I know and most religious Americans, they were kind of raised in some church or other.
	There's not that many that at the age of 30, they're agnostic or they go to Harvard, they go to all this high education, which reconfirms the basic atheism, which is what Obama would believe is.
	And so you graduate from college, you're like 22 years old, you go to work, you do all this stuff, and then eight years later, you're 30, and now you convert out of the blue?
	This is bull crap.
	I've been following the White House and Wall Street Insider from the Ulsterman Report, and one thing was made explicitly clear.
	And everyone in the Democratic Party knows it, that the Obamas are atheists, but they actually behind closed doors laugh about all the religious nuts.
	They actually laugh about them and make jokes.
	It's like a punchline for them.
	Oh, that doesn't surprise me.
	I mean, if you hang out with an atheist, that's what they do.
	Yeah.
	Some of them don't, but a lot of them do.
	But they think it's hilarious.
	Oh, that guy is a religious nut.
	Yeah.
	What a kook.
	What a kook.
	Speaking of the insider, so, you know, I'm following all this stuff, right?
	I know, you're following it, so I don't have to.
	That's right, you don't have to.
	There's a lot of Googling because, and again, this may all be disinfo, but it's very, very interesting.
	Yeah, it could be disinfo.
	Yeah, it could be.
	But what would be the point of it being disinfo?
	To keep us busy.
	Maybe people just do this.
	Keeping you busy.
	Yeah, just like, hey, listen, I got that idiot curry to Google for another day.
	What a douche.
	Yeah.
	So, now Ulsterman talks to the Wall Street insider, who of course is referring to everything the White House insider said.
	And this is about the campaign finance scam.
	So the last time we left off, we had this very important election in California for Attorney General, and we had all of Feinstein's campaign money stolen, right?
	And what the Wall Street Insider is doing is pointing towards an entity formerly known as Shore Bank.
	Now, Shore Bank went bust in, I think, 2010.
	I have all these links in the show notes, so again, you don't have to go through the trouble of Googling all of this.
	But Shore Bank was originally located in Chicago.
	Obama's been involved with Shore Bank for over 20 years.
	And I believe that Shore Bank is the whitewashing operation.
	So not only did they receive money from the bailout, but they're also, of course, fully insured by the FDIC. But they went bust in 2010 and became the Urban Partnership Bank.
	And they were acquired by, and this is what's kind of interesting, the investors, here they come, American Express, Bank of America, Citigroup, Ford Foundation, GE Capital, JPMorgan Chase, Key Communication Development Corp, Morgan Stanley, Northern Trust, PNC Investment, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, and former First Chicago executives who joined Shore Bank in recent months, who of course continue to run the bank.
	Now, here's what's really interesting.
	They have a very large presence in Islamabad, Pakistan.
	Well, let me ask you a question before you continue.
	And I hope you get the answer as you continue.
	Why did President Clinton describe Shore Bank as the most important bank in America?
	Because it's the whitewashing bank.
	That's how the money flows.
	It flows through that bank right into their personal accounts.
	These are the guys that do it.
	And of course, we know that Obama's working for Bush and Clinton.
	There's nothing new there.
	So it's a round robin.
	This is how it works.
	And these guys got bailout money, so it's like the money goes out on one side, it comes out through donations on the other side, donations to the campaign.
	It's all going through again.
	We have a guy who worked with, remember I mentioned Pamela Geller?
	Who was looking at all these donations at the campaign financing scam around Obama that kind of went away.
	I mean, he has a database Of all the institutions that were giving Obama money.
	Everyone was just trying this out.
	They were using European cards, trying to donate money to the Obama campaign, but also to the McCain campaign.
	The McCain campaign would refuse a European credit card.
	Obama's campaign, no problem.
	Accepted.
	Anybody.
	As a Brit.
	You could go in there, you could just donate money, and it would just go right through.
	This was all hushed up.
	But this is really...
	I mean, I have no other news than this.
	I throw it out there, and I'm hoping we'll get some more of our producers on the trail of what's going on.
	But this Urban Partnership Bank, who have a large presence in Islamabad, where, of course, you can also just go and deposit money.
	And look at all the guys who are running this joint.
	The shareholders.
	Yeah, no, it's pretty alarming, actually.
	Well, it's alarming that no one else is...
	Yeah, you just sent a picture to me.
	Bank of America that nobody heard of.
	Yeah.
	It's a community development financial institution.
	No, no, no, stop at that.
	Stop at that.
	What does that mean?
	Nothing.
	It means they get government money, dude.
	All right.
	Dude!
	They get government money, dude!
	Dude!
	That's the beauty of it.
	That's the beauty of it.
	Co-founders and affiliates have received numerous awards and honors, including from the...
	Why would you list this?
	Magazines Fast Company, Business Ethics, U.S. News& World Report, University of Notre Dame, Mendoza College of Business, Independent Community Bankers of America, Mayor Richard M. Daly of Chicago...
	The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, and Governor Ted Kulingoski of Oregon.
	Well, there's a guy we've got to look into.
	Well, the insider goes on to say a couple of things.
	First of all, if you look at where their Washington, D.C.-based office is, it is right almost next to the Treasury.
	Here's kind of the conclusion.
	By the way, their slogan...
	I have it here somewhere.
	Their slogan is, of the Urban Partnership Bank, formerly known as Shore Bank, building an inclusive global financial system.
	Uh-huh.
	So, what these guys are trying to point out is that if you look at G Street in Washington, D.C., And you'd start around 19th and you'd walk, and of course you can't walk straight across because you walk right into the White House, but you'd walk across it on the other side around 13th and G. On one hand you have the IMF, which by the way is not one building, it's two IMF buildings.
	You have IMF 1, IMF 2, of which 30% of these buildings is underground.
	There's thousands of people working there.
	You've got the World Bank.
	Those two buildings alone...
	Are larger than the White House and the Treasury combined.
	Just to give you an idea.
	And then on the other side, you've got the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and this Urban Partnership Bank.
	So the point they're making is that the bankers who truly want to run the world are just surrounding our center of power.
	By the way, it was bigger than the White House, the Capitol, and the Treasury combined.
	I mean, these buildings are enormous.
	Go look at it on Google Earth.
	They're huge.
	That doesn't really give us any more uh-huh, but wow.
	You know, this is where I think, you know, when you put all these things together, all these little dots, you take, you know, douchebag Lagarde.
	Yeah, it sounds like some sort of an elaborate money laundering operation.
	It reminds me of all those banks in Florida that were doing so well during the cocaine cowboy era, and then once they cracked down on it, it's like bank after bank after bank after bank went out of business.
	But think about it.
	We've got pallets of money going over to Afghanistan.
	Of course, those are moved right to Pakistan.
	And then they're deposited into the bank.
	And then from there, they go and buy ads for the president.
	It seems like a perfect operation to me.
	Well, it sounds like a good idea.
	I mean, we remember in Iraq, it's not like this is a new concept, where we lost, what, $2 or $3 billion of cash money that went straight to Iraq and then disappeared, and everyone thinks there's a bunch of corruption in Iraq.
	Who's to say it didn't just come rocking right back through money transfers coming back to one of these systems?
	These are pretty elaborate.
	And you've got the President and you've got Bill Clinton and all these guys talking about what a great operation this is.
	You've got, you know, Obama's part of it.
	You can get away with anything.
	And they are.
	And how does a Clinton, I was listening to something about their bitching and moaning about Romney's $41 million income or $25 million income.
	I guess it was $20 something.
	They're saying, well, Bill Clinton last year made, I think the number was like $76 million.
	Doing what?
	Yeah.
	Pay off, dude.
	For getting Mark Rich out of jail.
	Letting him go run the largest oil company in the world.
	Rich, yeah.
	Yeah, Mark Rich?
	Yeah, Mark Rich.
	He pardoned him?
	I'm sure that he owes Clinton big time.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	And while we're on the owing topic here, our favorite techno expert is getting his payback.
	Do you remember our friend Waleed Gonim?
	I tried to forget that one.
	He was, of course, the Google employee who tweeted the revolution.
	And he's gotten his payday.
	As the mastermind, they're calling him the mastermind behind the Egyptian revolution in Tahrir Square.
	He is now, he's got a book deal.
	And his book is out.
	You tweet you want a revolution.
	They let him make up his own title, apparently.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Big Beatles fan, I hear.
	So he got his payoff there.
	Very nice.
	It's so transparent.
	Yesterday was the one-year anniversary, and look how well it all went.
	Good job, everybody.
	Yay!
	A little applause for yourself.
	Yeah, wonderful.
	Yeah, fantastic.
	Things are much better now.
	Let's see.
	This is our own little bit of real news here.
	I'll just play the jingle for you.
	And now, back to real news.
	Speaking of payoffs, you know that someone was a shill when the following happens.
	By the way, let this also be an example of the kind of talent that John and I are against and really don't want on Russia today, because this woman is popping up everywhere on RT, and she is the most annoying host ever.
	Alright, so tonight we have a bit of a special edition of Mainstream Miss for you.
	You see, this morning, RT had some very big news to announce.
	Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, is going to be launching a talk show, which will be broadcast...
	Hey, can you stop for a second?
	Stop, stop, stop.
	You know who this sounds like?
	You're playing this from Russia Today?
	Yeah.
	This sounds exactly, because I had a clip that I didn't use, this sounds exactly like Aaron Burnett.
	Exactly.
	She's almost as annoying.
	You close your eyes, though.
	If you just played this to me and said it was Erin Burnett, I would say, yeah, yeah, that's right.
	Seriously.
	She has an accent thing that Erin doesn't have, and she doesn't quite read the prompter well.
	Let me close my eyes and try it.
	Hold on.
	All right, so tonight we have a...
	You're right.
	Right there.
	It sounded just like her.
	Oh, man.
	Oh, wow.
	Bit of a special edition of Mainstream Mystery.
	Oh, you're so right.
	And she does that whole thing.
	Maybe she's emulating Aaron.
	Yeah, no, she's totally emulating her.
	Maybe someone said, hey, listen, we want you to be the Aaron Burnett of Russia Today.
	I will say she's...
	Some things are better that she has than Erin.
	For you.
	You see, this morning, RT had some very big news to announce.
	Oh, wow.
	Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, is going to be launching a talk show, which will be broadcast by this network.
	And it's going to be called The World Tomorrow.
	It's going to consist of ten weekly episodes where he interviews whom he calls iconoclasts, visionaries, and power insiders.
	Okay.
	Bullshit!
	Bullshit!
	There you go.
	Assange gets his payoff with a TV show on RT. I don't know which is worse, a book or a show on Russia Today.
	That guy is so boring.
	And he's going to be asking the questions?
	So imagine.
	Yeah.
	These guys gotta get a clue.
	They're ruining their own station.
	They have some, you know, credible...
	I mean, people believe some of the stuff they put out there.
	I don't know why they can't put it together.
	I think they're...
	I don't know.
	Russia TV? What do you expect?
	Yeah.
	Alright, what else you got, Johnny Boy?
	I think I'm pretty done.
	Really?
	We have the...
	Well, no, actually, I got a newspaper here.
	Oh.
	Don't tell me.
	It's not the Times, is it?
	Yeah, there's a couple of things that are interesting.
	There's some messaging going on that I wanted to talk about.
	The Wednesday paper, a big, huge picture of Obama making it look like he's reading his speech from notes because it's an over-the-shoulder shot down onto the podium.
	Right.
	And it takes up most to the front page.
	It's a huge photo with a message on the right saying, Obama sets goal of economy built for the long run.
	This is part of that meme again.
	To long run means you have to re-elect him.
	Got it, got it.
	But I've heard some...
	I heard...
	When was it?
	A couple weeks ago.
	Chelsea Lately.
	Which...
	Mickey really likes to watch Chelsea Lately.
	Chelsea Handler.
	I'm sorry to hear that.
	Tell me about it.
	And she said exactly that.
	She said, look, we're all going to re-elect Obama because he deserves a shot to finish what he started.
	You're so right about that meme.
	That is the entire campaign right there.
	You're completely right.
	Thank you.
	Well, if they bust it up by pointing it out and, you know, kind of slamming the meme, I think, because Obama's tried memes before, and they usually get busted by Jon Stewart or Colbert.
	Yeah, but no one cares.
	No one cares.
	It's comedy.
	No, the people who care are the people in Washington who say, uh-oh, and then they decide to try something different.
	That's the point.
	It's not that the public cares.
	We're the only ones talking to them.
	Right, we're the only people that actually care.
	And we're not talking to that many of them.
	We're the only people that actually care.
	So, and then there's a little, just above the fold, very small, this is for Romney's friendly code reduces taxes, which is the tax meme to blast Romney to get him off the ticket.
	Then there's a little Egypt action on the front, but there's nothing new.
	Then today's paper, this morning's paper, has a bunch of, is an Egypt picture on the top of the fold with a bunch of people yelling.
	And they're yelling up, and it's a funny picture, because the air was yelling, and they're yelling into the air.
	It's like they're yelling at about a, let's see, like if you're standing in front of a 20-story building, you're yelling, your head's lifted, and you're yelling to the 15th story of the building.
	So I don't know what they're yelling at.
	Are they yelling at a plane flying overhead?
	I have no idea.
	But they're yelling about something, and it says a year later, Fisher's show...
	Fishers, as in Fisher, show in Egypt's incomplete revolution.
	And then the other two headlines in China, the human costs that are built into the iPad, they're blasting China over the iPad, trying to knock the stock of Apple down so they can get in.
	And Feds vow to keep rates near zero until late 2014, which I talked about earlier in the show, and this is an important meme, apparently.
	Is there any news on Syria in the New York Times?
	I haven't seen it.
	I've got the...
	There was something in one of these two papers.
	Oh, it hasn't been approved.
	No, it's still not approved.
	No, it still hasn't been approved.
	There's a bunch of stuff about...
	There's a good article on A12. Apparently, the second guy has developed an H5N1 flu, which is a problem.
	And then, this is the news story that I think is somewhat suppressed.
	We haven't even talked about it.
	But this is on A8. Top of the fold.
	You've got some guy in a kilt and a bare breast with written on his breast and lipstick, it looks like.
	Let me vote.
	Scottish leader sets timeline for referendum on independence.
	Oh.
	And the Scots want to break away from the UK. Oh, really?
	And this is huge.
	You know, Scotland, actually, if you look at the UK, they bring in all the money.
	Did you know that?
	No.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I thought the British banks brought in all the money.
	Well, hold on a second.
	No, I saw an article.
	Let me see.
	Maybe non-financially, probably, they might.
	No, wait.
	Whatever the case is, the Scots want out.
	And this is not being reported anywhere.
	This Times article is the first time I've seen mention of it.
	And it's on A8. And if it starts moving forward to the front page, we've got a situation on our hands.
	I'm looking now, because I remember there was an article I was reading, and maybe it was on AngerFan, but they broke it down, and they broke it down by what Scotland actually brings into the UK, and I was blown away.
	It's, like, huge.
	Oh, man, I wish I could find that.
	Let me see.
	Maybe something we'll have to...
	We'll have to discuss on the next show.
	But this is definitely homework.
	Yeah, we will take a look at the Scottish situation in depth and see what the hell is really going on.
	Yeah, because there is a big deal.
	Before you even know it, before the public even gets wind of it.
	It's like, it's a buried story.
	But it's buried in such a way that I'm very suspicious.
	I remember picking this story up.
	I remember looking at it and going, hey, that's interesting.
	But this was way before this whole Scotland wants to break away from the UK thing.
	And that is a huge deal.
	That is very, very big.
	But of course they've been kept dumb.
	And everyone has to think the Scots are dumb.
	We have a lot of listeners in Gitmo Nation East, which Scotland still belongs.
	You watch.
	You watch.
	Mr.
	Oil is in on this too.
	He's in the chat room now saying GBP. I don't know what that means.
	We'll get lots of email about this.
	Cool.
	That's a good one.
	What else?
	Anything else?
	Because I've got a few things just to wrap it up.
	Okay, you can wrap.
	Drone Nation news.
	Lots of drone stories coming out.
	You've got the one where apparently the FAA has banned all private drones.
	Yes!
	But this is the interesting thing.
	We are so good to go for the Dvorak Curry Drone Corporation...
	And there's actually a link to Autopilot, which you sent me, Autopilot International, which has all kinds of drones we can pick up.
	So the FAA is going to ban all drone flights unless you're a licensed pilot and you have an unmanned aerial vehicle on your license.
	So I already have helicopter and I already have fixed wing, single engine.
	So it wouldn't be hard for me to get the conversion.
	I already have the license.
	We're in business, John.
	We can quit this show finally and fly drones for a living.
	Right, and spy on people.
	Spy on people!
	This is good news!
	No, I got a whole story about that in the show notes, 377.nashownotes.com.
	This is very, very big that the FAA is closing this down, and you'll have to be licensed.
	And let me tell you, getting your pilot's license, that's the only test I ever achieved, was that.
	So we're good to go on that.
	You have to have a pilot's license to fly drones, so yay!
	Yeah, I'm loving that.
	Anyway, looks like New York is now experimenting with drones over the city.
	Surprise, surprise.
	Texas has cancelled its drone program due to the cost of maintenance.
	That's nice to know.
	But the Department of Homeland Security is really getting into a big time, and we found a...
	Well, it's not really...
	It's a preliminary request for proposals, proposal for capability statements, i.e.
	a government contract.
	Department of Homeland Security...
	Wants to start what they call the WAASS, the Wide Area Aerial Surveillance System.
	So, even though now it's like commonplace and everyone's laughing about it, drones over our skies 24-7, they'll be everywhere.
	And we'll be playing win-loser drone when we take out another American citizen.
	Yeah, and if you think that...
	Some of the photos from the spy satellites and Google Earth and that were invasive.
	You haven't seen anything until you've seen these pictures from a drone at 5,000 feet.
	Yeah, from the Dvorak Curry Drone Corporation.
	I'm telling you, man, this is it.
	This is where it's headed.
	I think we might as well join it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Alright, wrapping it up with a quick Pedo Bear segment.
	Of course, Joe Paterno died on Sunday.
	He was complicit in covering up the Sandusky Pedo Bear activities there at Penn State.
	A couple of magic numbers crop up.
	Joe Paterno's legacy remembered by the Big 33.
	Have you ever heard of this?
	No, tell me.
	The Big 33 is the 33 best players.
	Now paying homage to Joe Paterno and our very own president called Joe Paterno's wife and his son Jay to offer his condolences for the family's loss.
	I found that to be interesting.
	Yeah, especially since he's not really a football fan.
	Yeah, it seems to be like a controversial phone call to make.
	Don't you think?
	By our standards, absolutely.
	Yeah, by our standards.
	And then the one that I saved the best for last.
	Headline from KFIAM in Los Angeles.
	Joint military training exercises will be held evenings in downtown Los Angeles through Thursday, including...
	Military helicopters, please don't be worried.
	This is just a drill.
	There will be military personnel involved.
	I think they're gearing up for the unrest that is being called for.
	Why else would you have...
	We have an earthquake.
	No, these are going to be...
	Come on.
	Helicopters over downtown...
	Riots could break out.
	Riots, exactly.
	Yeah, from the earthquake.
	No, I think they're getting ready for something else, but I don't think it's appropriate to have military exercises in civilian areas.
	Don't we have a whole thing against that?
	Not since the National Defense Authorization Bill.
	Well, those guys don't wait for anything, do they?
	They just, hey, we got it signed, let's move right in.
	See if we can pick up some citizens.
	See if we can pick up some citizens and maybe rape a few people.
	So, uh, we do have...
	So, we do have the long version of the Manning clip coming up.
	I want to remind people to stay tuned for that.
	You'll hear about, more than Newt Gingrich, you'll hear about Romney being half black.
	And I think we have a No Agenda Producer update.
	Let me see.
	I don't know.
	We may not.
	I don't know.
	You should always listen to the stream.
	There's always good stuff there.
	Yeah.
	Alright, and I will be back Sunday for the show, and we'll have good connectivity and more media assassination.
	Please help us out.
	Think of us.
	Giving is loving, and the best way to love is to donate.
	Right, and think of the hours that go into...
	I mean, you're getting a lot of hours from this.
	I mean, today's show, two and a half hours.
	Well, that's just the time that I spend on the air.
	Forget about all the other time I'm spending on my vacation.
	Yeah, I'd have to spend the whole day in advance of the show.
	Yeah.
	Well, who cares?
	It's a crisis.
	We're going to be flying drones.
	That's our next...
	Drones are good.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Coming to you from a little place just 60 clicks north of Hugo Chavez's Allo Presidente Studios and trying to enjoy some of that liquid sunshine here on the Isle of Bonaire.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will be back with you on Sunday, right here on No Agenda.
	So we got people like Newt Gingrich, and I have got some inside information about Newt Gingrich.
	And I have a strange suspicion, the reason why Newt is so erratic and unpredictable is that I believe that Newt Gingrich's father was a liberal, educated black man.
	I do.
	You know, because he was raised by a stepfather.
	I'm going to get to that in just a moment.
	I believe that Newt Gingrich, real father, was a liberal but educated black man.
	Because Newt's real name is Newton Leroy McPherson.
	That's when he was born.
	He was born Newton Leroy.
	Leroy McPherson.
	Now listen, nobody on the planet names their children Leroy except black people.
	Just like nobody on the planet names their sons Hector except Hispanic people.
	If your name is Hector, everybody knows somewhere down the line you Hispanic, homie.
	But if, do we have that, hey Leroy, do we have the...
	Nobody on the planet except black people named their children Leroy.
	Now Newton's, that's why I call him, and that's why he's so erratic and unpredictable.
	Newt, I suspect, has a black liberal father.
	Newton Leroy McPherson is how he was born.
	Hey, Leroy!
	What?
	Your mama!
	He's calling you, man.
	All right.
	Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
	All right.
	So, there you have it.
	Now, but that ain't all that these candidates, because I want to...
	Mitt Romney?
	His name is Willard.
	Willard!
	Willard!
	I think that he's probably the son of a psycho.
	And that's why he acts the way he acts.
	So if you vote for, and I believe that Willard has some black blood in him too.
	If you watch Mitt Romney, his name is Willard Mitt Romney, and of course his father, somewhere down the line, I think that the Romney's wives got in bed with the sleeping car porters on them long train trips from Michigan to Chicago, from Chicago to Boston.
	Remember the A. Philip Randolph group and all the sleeping car porters when the aviation age took over?
	And these politicians and wealthy people's wives used to take these long train rides from Chicago to L.A.
	And these sleeping car porters didn't have anything to do.
	The women were bored.
	It was a four day train ride.
	And Leroy, the black sleeping car porters, Leroy and Willard, they were there serving coffee and tea with their white jackets and their black pants on.
	And Mrs.
	Romney and Mrs.
	McPherson took them in the sleeping car.
	These black men in the sleeping car.
	And so I'm here to tell you now that if Newt became president, we'd have another half black president.
	And if Willard became president, we'd have a second, we'd have a third half black president.
	And if Willard becomes president and he chooses Newt as his vice, we'll have a first, we'll have a second black president and a first half black president and a first half black vice president.
	Because I believe both of these men got black blood in their veins.
	Now, you know, I'm saying this satirically.
	But I truly do believe that.
	I do.
	And I can find people in America right now can verify what we need to, if you want to, I mean, probably have someone do this for me.
	But I can find people in America right now who can verify that there are a whole lot of men who are in the conservative and the liberal, who are in the lesser intelligent, democratic, or the dumb blank, or in the conservative, cursed, color-struck region, whose father way back when, going back to the 1930s, was a black man.
	That's right.
	Put that in your pipe and smoke it for a while.
	I'm James David Manning.
	Obama ain't the only one that's been miscegenated or as a product of it.
	Hey, citizen.
	Whoop Obama's behind!
	Whoop him, whoop him, whoop him!
	Whoop him, whoop him, whoop him!
	Whoop him with the Constitution!
	He is wholly and totally ineligible!
	He is a criminal!
	Whoop him, Ron!
	Whoop him!
