Mic check.
Mic check.
Adam Curry.
John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, January 29th, 2012.
Time for Gibbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 378.
This is No Agenda.
Back from the island of Drone Air and on solid ground in the capital of the Drone Star State here at Camp Mofo in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I remain and appreciate a better connection, I'm John C. Devorak.
It's Crack Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning.
Did I say Thursday?
I'm sorry.
I meant to say Sunday.
You might have.
You've done that before.
I have done that.
I meant to say Sunday.
Always Thursday in Texas.
Yeah, that's right.
It's always the day before the weekend here in Tejas.
It's good to be back, though, man.
It was nice being there, but it's good to be back.
Well, congratulations on your engagement.
Well, thank you so much.
You didn't say this when I told you.
It's funny, interesting.
Well, it's because I didn't get to know it.
I thought you may have been trying to punk me.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, I'm trying to punk you.
I don't know.
It gets me off guard.
And then I finally got the note that supposedly was sent to me.
It came like two days ago.
Yeah.
And then with some photos.
Yeah.
Are you going to come for the wedding?
When?
That's not a great answer to my great question.
I mean, when?
When?
When it's scheduled.
What difference does it make?
Won't you drop everything?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Okay.
Right there.
We're expecting you to officiate.
Oh, I'm not going to be the best man.
No, you're not going to be the best man.
Oh, man.
What a jib.
Officiate?
You want me to marry you?
Well, you're allowed to, right?
Yeah.
But I don't know if you can do it, if you can pull it off without being a jerk.
Well, I'm not a jerk 24-7, but I'm sure that your cornball thing that you're going to write is going to be hard for me to not keep, I don't know, maybe.
It depends.
We're thinking maybe we'll just get married.
You get carried away with all this kind of new age stuff, which I anticipate, by the way.
You mean like bare feet?
Little girls with rose petals and throwing them in the air every 13 seconds.
There they go.
That's not new age.
That's romantic, John.
And then some moon rings.
Both of you are topless.
Now it's sounding really good.
Wearing, you know, some sort of weird, you know, having soaked in some sort of goo.
Hey, citizen.
Yeah, with like sticks in our hair.
Right.
Exactly.
You've pretty much described exactly what Mickey wants.
Your insight is amazing.
Yeah.
No.
No, no, no, no.
I don't know.
Maybe we'll get married and we'll just have a party, but then we'll ask everyone to get up and say something.
That could be fun, too.
I always like the speeches the best.
I got it.
We'll do a roast.
Exactly.
It's a roast.
There you go.
Perfect idea.
Yeah, we come up and insult you, insult Mickey, insult all the other roasters.
Now you're talking.
That's fun, right?
I can do that.
I've done those.
Yeah, I'm sure.
You'll be the headliner.
I can handle it.
I can be the emcee to that.
Anyway, thank you very much.
Are you going to do this in the United States or are you going to get married in the Antilles?
Are you going to get married in Holland?
Are you going to get married in Russia?
What?
Well, I'd like to do it in the United States.
We could do it in the...
I mean, the thing is we've got people who would come from Gitmo Nation lowlands.
So you kind of want to make it easy.
Could you have a wedding in Holland?
And let me just imagine it.
So everyone's seated in a chair and just in a big giant circle standing.
In a circle.
Without saying anything, just kind of droll.
No.
No?
No.
I wouldn't want to do it in the lowlands.
No way.
No, we'll do it here.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Do it in Dallas.
Why Dallas?
Do it at the big giant...
The Superdome.
The Superdome.
Yeah, the pole thing.
Yeah, let me start saving for that.
Are you going to do it in a big church?
Are you going to do it in a chapel?
Are you going to do it in the open air?
Are you going to do it in the woods?
I would like to do it in Texas with line dancing and cowboy hats and shooting guns in the air.
Well, the shooting guns sounds fun.
We now pronounce you man and wife and everyone shoots into the air.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
Anyway, it was so funny, after we concluded our broadcast on Thursday, and of course I was done, by the time the show went up, it turns out we had about 250 kilobits per second.
It was like using a modem.
Well, it sounded like, too.
Yeah, I know.
But, you know, we still got through it.
But, of course, when you upload the file, it takes like an hour and a half.
So I'm sitting around waiting, you know, and everyone in the house is like out on the boat.
You know, they're like, hey, how you doing?
How's that show going?
So by the time I'm done, it's 5, 530 local time and nothing left to do.
And the whole day is shot.
You could have gone out on the boat for an hour because it takes forever to upload.
Well, yeah, but, you know, it already took an hour and a half, and the minute it's done, I want to, you know, publish.
Anyway, so by the time I'm done, it was like dinner and go to bed, and there was another debate!
I couldn't believe it!
I flip on the TV, it's like, what?
Another debate?
Are you kidding me?
This guy's just out of control with the debating.
By the way, I thought Ron Paul, what I saw, I thought he did really, really well.
Yeah, I thought he would have done better, though, if he'd finished his sentence.
See, I don't know.
I didn't see it.
I have a couple clips.
They wouldn't let him finish?
I caught the...
This thing is...
This has really gotten way out of control, how the media is running this.
I mean, they keep talking about the race, the contest.
You know, it's like they're using every single word in the American Idol X Factor script.
And even Wolf and Pooper Boy...
They're analyzing it like they're talking about the Super Bowl.
And actually, well, let me play this clip.
I thought this was kind of telling, but first of all, how Wolf is like, well, you know, or actually Anderson starts off.
Yeah, you know, they wouldn't answer your question.
He also stood as Grand Wolf Blitzer in the exchange with Newt Gingrich.
He went really back and forth on the appropriateness of a question.
I just want to show that exchange to our viewers.
Earlier this week, you said Governor Romney, after he released his taxes, you said that you were satisfied with the level of transparency of his personal finances when it comes to this.
And I just want to reiterate and ask you, are you satisfied right now with the level of transparency as far as his personal finances?
Wolf, you and I have a great relationship.
I love this, by the way.
You and I have a great relationship.
Wolf, you and I. It goes back a long way.
A long way.
I'm with him.
This is a nonsense question.
Now, what I find problematic here is Ron Paul should be the one slamming the media, but Gingrich seems to be getting all of that juice, which is good, actually.
I mean, he's right.
Well, I think a lot of it is to distract from Ron.
They've taken Ron Paul, and instead of fighting it, they've, like, you know, Ron Paul says something, and Gingrich says, I agree with him, and then they go on and say blah, blah, blah.
Listen to the first little bit of the exchange.
But listen to Pooper and Blitzer wrapping it up.
It's literally like they're at a football game.
Woo!
Newt, Newt, Newt, Newt, Newt!
Look, how about if the four of us agree for the rest of the evening, we'll actually talk about issues that relate to governing America.
Mr.
Speaker, you made an issue of this this week when you said that he lives in a world of Swiss bank and Cayman Island bank accounts.
I didn't say that, you did.
I did, and I'm perfectly happy to say that on an interview on some TV show, but this is a national debate where you have a chance to get the four of us to talk about a whole range of issues.
But if you make a serious accusation...
You're talking to Wolf Blitzer here, man.
You know, I brought Anthony Weiner down.
I can do this to you, man.
I simply suggested...
You need to explain that.
You want to try again?
I mean, wouldn't it be nice if people didn't make accusations somewhere else that they weren't willing to defend here?
All right, let's tell the Romney guys that he's got no ad-libbing with Mitt here.
Shut up, Mitt.
You're making it worse for yourself.
Now back to Cooper.
A really interesting exchange.
I think it contributed to the idea that a lot of people felt Newt Gingrich was somewhat flat tonight.
What does that even mean?
He was somewhat flat.
I guess, you know, they were always talking about him wearing a brassiere or something.
I think he finally lost some weight.
You know, he was the one who raised that issue.
He's training bra.
The Cayman Islands, the Swiss bank accounts.
He made a very serious allegation against...
Serious.
I mean, I thought it would be a good opportunity for him to clarify.
What kind of a...
Wait, wait, wait.
What kind of a serious allegation is saying, like, to you?
Nothing!
Nothing.
You're living in a rich part of Austin and you've got a Cayman Island Bank.
What kind of accusation?
How is that a serious accusation?
It's just a minor commentary to me.
It's not like he's a pedophile.
I don't know about the whole flat thing, though.
You know, he didn't have his training bra on tonight, Anderson.
Well, yes, indeed.
Now, by the way, if you said that to me, that would just be an outright lie.
Lane, what he meant by that, and he didn't want to talk about it, and then when I finally pressed him on it, and he backed down, he responded.
Yeah, I pressed him on it, he backed down, because I'm wolf-effing-bitches!
There have been a number of allegations, obviously, made on the campaign trail.
Yeah, allegations, allegations.
It's just like...
They're trying to spice it up.
Why don't they just do it right and hire Ryan Seacrest?
He would be so much more fun.
How come...
Actually, I think Ryan Seacrest...
Yeah, he would be great.
Yeah, I think he would, to be honest about it.
As silly as it sounds, I think he'd be great.
Because he would not be involved because he doesn't have really a political agenda that I can tell.
No.
And I think he'd be more personable, and I think he's as silly as it sounds.
I think he'd be better.
As a television producer, and you and I, of course, head up the Devorah Curry consulting team, I think we're onto something here.
This would be a very, very good idea.
And I think it would pack him in.
Yeah!
Nobody wants to see Wolf Blitzer.
No!
No!
We want Ryan!
They might as well face the reality.
I mean, Fox has been indicating this for years when they have Gilfoyle with their legs over on the show.
And they're getting closer to the...
I mean, Megyn Kelly is a good example.
They're getting closer to just saying, let's screw it.
We're a show business company.
Let's just put in, you know, high-end, not Wolf Blitzer, but let's put in Ryan Seacrest.
I mean, somebody that's a high-end moderator and put him in and bring in the audience.
It would probably do the public a favor.
And about halfway through, we're going to take a break right now.
Here's Ryan Seacrest.
All right, everybody, we're going to take a break here on the GOP X Factor Idol.
And here's Kelly Clarkson.
And just do a song.
Just have her do a great song.
I'll be rocking it out.
You know, it'll be fun.
But no!
It wasn't suggested.
It'd be better.
I think it'd be better to just do a variety show so you'd have the guy spinning dishes.
Running back and forth.
Dogs jumping backwards.
Exactly.
And you just run them in and out of there.
But no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Do we get to produce it?
No.
Ken Ehrlich, whoever is doing that.
That guy.
And does all this.
He does Celine Dion's Vegas concerts.
You know, these guys could use some writers, too.
Somebody mentioned that on one of the shows that they think that Mitt Romney gets all his one-liners and material from the, I thought it was the best description, the back of Boy's Life Man.
You have to understand what Boys Life magazine is, otherwise you don't get it.
It's a magazine for, you know, this Boys Life, and it's just, you know, very low-end.
If it wasn't low-end, it's kind of like an outdoorsy...
It was a high-end magazine for boys.
Like an outdoorsy scouting type, you know, camping magazine for boys.
I liked it.
But if you had some really, you know, some pros writing the material, so they were delivering hot one-liners at each other, you'd have competitive little teams.
Yeah.
Or you'd even have a show around them picking the writers.
Oh yeah, we could have a pre-show all about that.
Yeah.
Did you see the script writing session, by the way?
No.
With President Obama, he had Jeb Bush in the Oval Office.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Unbeknownst to the press, President Obama met Friday evening with former President George H. Walker Bush and his son, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, in the Oval Office.
They were doing a script writing session, exactly like I predicted.
Here he comes.
Jeb Bush on the way.
That's no coincidence.
Well, you know, there's something to me that's still fishy about Obama's positioning of himself in this whole election.
If you remember that event where they have the press come in, it's called the whatever, and they make jokes, I forget the name of it.
Yeah, the White House Press Corps dinner.
Yeah, and he was in there and he was talking about these people that are going to be running against him.
And it's the first time I ever heard Huntsman mentioned.
He mentioned Huntsman.
As the guy who's going to get in the race, and Huntsman got in the race.
Of course, he failed because he's got no personality at all.
But I'm thinking, of course, we've said this all along, so it's no big deal to say it again, which is that this whole thing is rigged as one party.
We don't really have any competition.
You get somebody like Ron Paul in there, and they...
They won't even give them a shot at talking.
Right.
But yeah, maybe.
Maybe this is part of the...
Well, I called it.
I said, if we were producing this, and most of the things we talk about, when we talk about hot women, when we talk about douchebags, we are doing it from our perspective as television producers.
As suits.
Yes, as executives.
Yeah, suits.
It's interesting because I was watching another scripted production.
This was Lucifer.
Now, we all know Lucifer, of course, is my pet name for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
And so she was doing a town hall with all of her people.
So it's basically like what we would call an all-hands meeting.
An all-hands of Lucifer.
And it was kind of difficult to comprehend because she had...
I guess every team has a letter.
So you have like the M team and the J team and the E team...
To get the E team together with the J team, we can talk strategies.
Well, even better, at certain points in the speech, she talks about not just the J team, but the J family.
I have to say, she would be perfect running HP or something like that.
This is exactly what those companies like.
It's exactly what the investors like to hear.
I think Hillary would be a great CEO for one of these companies, yeah.
So I kind of got on to this because I was trying to find a video of her, because also apparently on Thursday she mentioned to her people, which is not in this video that I looked at, but this is according to an APN news report, that she says, well, after 20 years, it'll be 20 years, I've been on the high wire of American politics and all the challenges that come with it, so it's probably a good idea to find out just how tired I am, is what she said.
But then at the end, she says, by the way, everyone says they're going to drop out of politics, but you never know.
You can never leave the job.
So she kind of left it open, like she might come back or whatever.
So anyway, so I'm watching this at state.gov.
I'm watching this video, and her producer comes out.
And just to show you how scripted these things are, what does the producer do before you start the show?
What does the producer do?
Oh, it depends on how elaborate the show is, but the producer might be, before he started the show, the producer may warm up the audience.
Right, and of course the audience is filled with shills because we're going to do a question and answer session.
So he's got to make sure that the audience behaves properly.
Everyone, welcome to the Secretary of State's town hall meeting.
Just one brief technical reminder.
Now, first of all, it's a technical reminder.
This is all about the broadcast.
We're getting ready.
Get ready, everybody.
Place this, please.
This session is being broadcast not only on the State Department's internal closed-circuit system, B-Net, but...
B-Net?
Bnet?
Really?
Bnet?
It also is being broadcast by a number of networks, so please always be diplomatic in your questions and in your performance.
Oh, okay.
Please be diplomatic in your questions and your performance.
Now, doesn't that mean that they're acting?
Yeah, well, this is like, I'm surprised they didn't, one of the other things these guys will occasionally do is come out and coach the audience for B-roll.
Yeah.
Oh, I saw that, by the way, at the very end of the debate.
Because I only caught like the last 20 minutes.
There was a producer on the side, literally on stage, off to the side with a script in one hand, making everybody clap.
You know, he's clapping his script against his hand, trying to rile everybody up.
For B-roll.
Yeah, for B-roll.
Well, it was the end of the show.
Anyway, so this is a performance, so we've got to have questions that are all scripted and everything is all set up, obviously, because you can't go punk in Lucifer.
That would be no good.
And, well, there's two little ditties I found in her speech, which is all about the quadrennial review of the State Department, which means we're doing great.
Revenues are up.
We're doing fantastic.
And here's the first thing.
Here's the first thing that I found.
You know, it no longer makes sense in a world of constrained resources.
In countries to have separate warehouses for State Department and AID. We need efficiencies.
We need economies of scale.
And we're working through all of that.
Pat Kennedy and his great M-Team is really helping.
And as promised, we launched a foreign assistance dashboard.
Woo!
Woo!
The M-Team launched the dashboard!
Now...
This is your pet peeve, this dashboard idea.
Well, listen to the dashboard.
At www.foreignassistance.gov.
Now, please enter that into your browsers right now.
www.foreignassistance.gov.
And tell me what you see on the dashboard.
Tell me what you see on the dashboard.
Do you have it, John?
Did you see it on the dashboard?
You see it on the dashboard?
We have a dashboard.
It says foreignassistance.gov.
I got.com.
No,.gov.
.gov.
It's got some...
Yeah.
What do you see on foreignassistance.gov?
Come on.
What do you see?
Babe.
What do you see?
It says...
I must have it...
No.
Go ahead.
Read it, because that's what I got, too.
What?
Server not found?
Yes.
Exactly.
Hey, citizen.
They don't even...
It's not even...
There's no server at it yet.
It doesn't exist.
She's promoting it.
And the great M team who set it up, it doesn't work.
Maybe it's got a dash or something she didn't notice.
Have you tried other alternatives?
Come on.
Wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
I don't believe this.
If you do a Whois, it says it's active.
I'll try the dash, dot foreign-assistance.gov.
It comes up in a Google search.
If you go foreign assistance, foreign space assistance space gov, and you hit Google, it comes up foreignassistance.gov, a website, by sector, by data, and this and that, and it's still dead.
So this has been alive.
It's dead now, baby.
I guess the dashboard wasn't performing right or something.
Well, I'm kidding.
It's not only up there, but it shows it as with a bunch of subheads, which is weird for Google when they have all the data by sector country offices.
So I hit any of these and they're all dead.
FAC, F-A-Q. Here's the FAC. Nothing.
Well, this is our government at work.
Wait, do you have...
Is it cashed?
Can we get a cashed version of it?
No, it does not indicate a cash.
I don't see a cash.
I got a cash.
Well, hit the cash.
Okay, well, it's really broken, the cash.
We've got, what's coming?
Where's the money going?
This is a great dashboard.
FAQs.
So, oops, Google Chrome could not find foreignassistance.gov.
Anyway, very interesting to find out exactly what this dashboard does.
How much money do you think the State Department spent?
Eight million dollars!
How much do you think it spends of our total annual budget of all the money that we spend in these United States of Gitmo Nation?
Because it would be in the dashboard, and it's in the dashboard.
What is the percentage that the State Department spends of all of our money?
I would say maximum 5% of all our money, 5% maybe.
That lets anyone in the world with an internet connection to see where we are investing and how much.
Anyone with an internet connection except me.
And I will be discussing this in greater detail at the USAID Town Hall.
Thank you.
It's also nice to be able to refer our own inquiries that still people think we spend, you know, 20% of the U.S. government's budget on development to tell them to go to the foreignassistance.gov and actually get a little evidence-based reality going.
Third...
It sounded to me like it was 20%.
So she kind of said.
Isn't that what she said?
Well, yeah, that's what she said.
That's what she said.
By the way, the USAID site, which is the one, USAID.gov, I think is...
There's supposed to be something about the dashboard on here, but I'm not seeing it, according to Google.
Oh, here it is, Foreign Assistance Dashboard.
Here it is, under Where We Work.
The Foreign Assistance Dashboard provides a view of U.S. government foreign assistance funds and enables users to examine, research, and track investments.
So I click...
Yep.
Goes right to foreignassistance.gov, server not found.
Let me try it on Firefox.
That seems like an unlikely coincidence that while we're doing the show, it's down and it's not down a lot.
Yeah, it's been down since this morning.
I've been watching.
Maybe they don't work on Sunday.
And if you ping it, there's no server at the other end.
Oh, wait a minute.
This is interesting.
There's another link.
There's two links on the same JPEG, GIF. And I have one of the dashboards, USAID Regions and Countries Map.
Actually, the URL is USAID.gov slash locations.
And this is, I think, the dashboard.
See how much money we give to Canada.
Right.
Why?
Why are you so interested in Canada?
France, Spain.
But this is not...
I want the dashboard that Lucifer said I could reach from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
Well, she's wrong.
She said it quite clearly.
I'm very upset.
I said USAID assistance to Brazil has gone down.
Alright, now I have a question for you, John.
Yes.
Okay, so a question was posed from one of the actors in a very good performance.
Lucifer starts to answer, I'm going to pause the clip and you're going to tell me what the question was.
Okay?
Okay.
It was a good question as you can tell.
Good question!
I remember the first time I did a town hall, and I think I was asked about this.
I hope you agree we've made progress.
We continue to make progress.
We know how important this is for all of you.
As I recall, it seems so long ago, but three years or so ago, we really were not in the 21st century, let me put it that way.
Okay, what was the question?
How are you doing on your getting yourself to look a little more attractive?
No, it was not about her hair or her couture.
That's what it sounds like.
She says she's finally in the 21st century.
What could possibly mean that she has to be in the 21st century?
The entire State Department of the United States of Gitmo Nation.
Do they have to do with laptop computers?
Close, yes, you're getting there.
The iPhone or the iPad?
You're getting very, very close.
Ooh, you're getting so warm.
Finish it.
But, under great leadership from Pat and our team...
That's the M team again, who did that great website.
We have made progress.
Are you sure you don't want to try again, John?
We have made progress.
One more guess.
Brain implants.
Today, I'm happy to announce...
I'll give you one more shot.
Remember, this is a...
Universal healthcare for lesbians.
Hey, citizen.
No, I'm sorry.
But she thinks your answer's funny.
We really do read the sounding board.
No, it's from the sounding board.
So this is a complaint that came in from the sounding board, which is on the intranet, that the M team put together with the J family.
Come on, what does every corporation always bitch about?
What?
That Google Chrome will be deployed worldwide on February 14th.
Woo!
Ha ha ha!
Everyone was bitching that they wanted Google Chrome as their browser.
No, they weren't.
Yes, they were.
It's on the sounding board, but it gets worse.
What do you think they're using?
Explorer.
Which version?
Six.
close that's my valentine's present to all of you Oh, lovely.
Internet Explorer 8 will be deployed on March 20th.
They're on 7th still.
That would make sense.
Woo!
Yes!
Eight!
And for more details, you can go to State Cable 7330, which officially announced this January 25th.
Now, Google Chrome is intended to be an optional browser.
It may not work with all the department internet sites or applications, but we believe it will greatly improve the accessibility and performance with external sites.
Internet Explorer 8 has been tested with department enterprise applications.
It's precisely this quality control testing that delays the deployment of newer versions of Explorer.
Pat's informed me that it's the assessment of our incredible crack information systems team.
Did she just say they're on crack?
Yes.
That we'll skip Internet Explorer 9 completely and deploy Internet Explorer 10 on or before February of next year.
So we're moving, moving, moving.
Moving, moving, moving, moving.
We appreciate the constant prodding, prodding, prodding.
Prodding, prodding, prodding.
Whip it, whip it, whip it!
Awesome.
This, of course, is the entire reason why Anish Chopra had to resign.
No, Vivek Kundra.
No, Anish Chopra just resigned.
Oh, he did?
How did I miss that?
Yes!
President Obama says in his statement as the federal government's first chief technology officer, Anish Chopra did groundbreaking work to bring our government into the 21st century.
In other words, he couldn't keep the Microsoft contract.
Google won out.
They got Chrome deployed.
He's out of there.
That's interesting.
No, it's very logical.
Yeah, well, he is something of a...
Yeah, that could be.
It could be.
I think it's completely related.
This is always what it's about.
You don't think it's because he's a bonehead?
Yeah, and because he's a total dick.
Yeah, obviously.
And he's a nincompoop.
But I'm pretty sure that, you know...
How does that happen?
I missed that.
Now I'm annoyed.
That happened...
Let me see when the statement came out.
27th, so Friday.
Leaving the White House.
Likely to run for...
He's going to run for something in Virginia?
No.
I don't have that.
I only have the President's statement.
Likely to run for Virginia Lieutenant Governor.
Ugh.
I hope the people of Virginia have more brains than put that guy in office.
Well, half the people in Virginia worked for him.
So it's like, you know, he just threatened him.
Anish found countless ways to engage the American people using technology, from electronic health records for veterans to expanding access to broadband for rural communities.
So do you think it's possible that the website we can't hit is his throwing a wrench in the works with one of his buddies?
Sure.
He's like, hey, you fired me?
I'm done?
Pull the plug.
Hey, bye.
Yeah, I'm pulling the plug.
Pull the plug on these sites.
Yeah, possibly.
A lot of guys do that.
It's not unusual, by the way.
Change all the root passwords on your way out.
Very easy to do, and people do it all the time.
It's one of the least talked about subjects in business.
Along those same lines, the Gitmo Nation Lowlands government held a competition to design an app.
We've had these, right?
This was Vivek Kundra's...
He kind of pioneered this amongst idiot politicians and government.
To design an app using government information.
The winner?
The app that shows you the nearest public toilet.
Yeah, I know.
He talked about that, how important that would be, or how cool it would be, he would say.
But this actually won the Dutch National Prize.
Of all the government information, the Minister of Economic Affairs, Maxime Verhagen, said, you know, this competition was great because now we actually can help people using our great public information to find public toilets free of charge.
Yeah, what a deal.
It's unbelievable.
It's crap standing.
So let's thank a few of our executive producers before we continue.
Before we get further into the abyss.
Well, it's been a good abyss.
By the way, I'm going to say something.
I'm going to say something about our...
I think that part of the reasons our donations were down, there's two reasons, I think.
One, I think that donating as loving has got to go.
Ever since we started that, it sucks.
That's not working.
So, Buzzkill Jr.
loved the research, but no, that's not working.
Two, for the past two Sundays, I've had no pancakes.
Could be a jinx.
I think so.
So, Mickey actually left the house this morning early to go get milk.
Huh.
Yeah, so she could make it.
Are you sure that's what she's up to?
All right, we have one executive producer and two associates today.
Our executive producer will be Scott in Dawsonville, Georgia.
It's been a long time boner, but I do have my original edition...
Challenge coin, and I'm donating drunk.
Yeah, very good.
Excellent.
He says, tell Adam the USS Enterprise getting involved in Iran.
It's not a coincidence.
I was stationed on the Big E in the late 80s as chief machinery operator in engine room number one.
Wow.
Cool.
John may remember when it was stationed in Alameda.
I do.
This is the...
In operations praying, man, it was a huge...
The USS Enterprise, yeah.
Yeah, it is a big...
By the way, the Enterprise, it was stationed in Alameda for a long time.
I think it was even stationed when I was working for the government.
I got to check it out.
But from a distance...
It is really one of the coolest looking aircraft curves.
It's got some high-tech look to it, even though it's pretty old.
In Operation Praying Mantis, we essentially sunk the entire Iranian Navy at that time.
Just do a web search on Operation Praying Mantis USS Enterprise.
There will be plenty of hits.
Please de-douche me and I'll get my knighthood when John upgrades to his general class ham license and Adam at least gets his tech.
You've been de-douched.
Wow, sounds like a challenge to me, Johnny boy.
Challenge?
He's got a challenge coin.
And then he'll get the executive producership for the most amount over $200.
Michael Klink in Oak Park, Illinois, 23333.
Citizen John and Citizen Adam, ITM to you both.
Can I get a little Carmen?
Can you play the No Agenda National Anthem?
It's been months since you've played it.
Congratulations to Adam and Miss Mickey, and finally a shout out to my good friend IT Ninja, Citizen Clink.
Hey, Citizen.
Okay, so let's give him some karma and we'll do the Gitmo Nation anthem.
It's true, we haven't done that in a long time.
Well, do the Gitmo Nation anthem at the end of the show.
Why don't we do it now?
What difference does it make?
Well, okay, well let me read the last Todd Simmons donation first.
First let me give him some karma.
He deserves the karma he asked for.
You've got karma.
And then Sir Todd Simmons in 8 Mile Plains, Queensland gave us $200 with a congratulatory note to Adam and Mickey for their upcoming New Age wedding.
It doesn't say New Age wedding.
Horrible man.
In the morning, Gitmo Nation, we are all charged up to be human resources and servants in all lands and all ships at sea.
From the east to west, down under, to the lowlands and beyond, we are happy and distracted slaves in our Gitmo Nation song.
It's the morning!
Nice!
There you go.
There you go.
We don't do it often enough.
I always play it on the pre-stream, by the way.
Well, good.
I'm glad you played it.
Anyway, I want to thank those executive producers and all those we'll get to at that break for helping us out on this show 278.
Try giving us a shout-out on Dvorak.org slash NA. Some donations at Dvorak.org slash NA. ChannelDvorak.com slash NA. No Agenda Show and No Agenda Nation where there's a donation button you can hit.
We'd appreciate it.
It keeps the show going.
As you can tell, we've already got good material.
It's like falling off a log.
We're great.
What do you mean?
It's like falling off a log.
No, it is the value for value model.
If you like what you hear, then consider taking some of the money you would spend on entertainment anywhere else and giving that to us so we can continue to bring you this top-notch quality entertainment.
A couple of PR initiatives that are taking place that also are of mention here.
Sir Yaz has started something called noagendahost.com, a hosting company, and it's already up.
And you can get virtual private servers in both the United States of Europe and the United States of America.
He'll be sending us half of the revenue, he says.
Looks like you can get a server for $11.11 a month.
He's got a lot of 1111s and 33s on the website.
So, okay.
We obviously can't endorse initiatives like this, but this is an open-source program.
You can take our name, our logo, our programming, whatever you want to do, and do whatever you want to do with it.
Yeah, repost it, please.
Yeah, that would be great.
In fact, why don't you get one of those servers and create mirrors.
But it's always nice if someone wants to send us some money from their hard labor.
Hey, Citizens, Adam and John.
Citizen Robert says he has registered heycitizen.com.
Hey, Citizen.
And is forwarding now to noagendashow.com, which is great.
That's a good one.
Yes.
Also, obamaderangementsyndrome.com.
Catchy.
Well, we'll see if we can remember it.
And, oh yes, Tim comes through with DroneLicense.com.
There you go.
Drone License.
You cannot fly a drone without your drone license.
So that now, of course, is also forwarding to our NoAgendaShow.com website.
I'm not quite sure what this one is supposed to mean.
Uh...
We have DealBoner.com Do you understand what that would be?
DealBoner.com No.
Well, it's forwarding to our website.
That's nice.
And this one I have to say, SirJimmy, SirJamesforFreeHallowBooks.com, has registered and is forwarding to us TheOtherObama.com, which apparently there's proof now.
We have, and we'll get to that later, there's proof there are two Obamas.
I'm telling you, you called this, you called this, and I'm the crackpot, but you called that there are two Obamas.
Well, there's nothing crackpot about it.
It wasn't a crackpot idea.
It was an observation.
Well, the observation is, if you look at the two pictures, and I have them in the show notes at 378.nashownotes.com, you'll see that when he was inaugurated, he was wearing a red tie, and the second inauguration of the other Obama is wearing a blue tie, which, of course, is a signal.
Well, that could be the code.
It's the code.
It's the signal.
So we have to be on the lookout.
Is it a tie color?
Is it a red tie Obama or blue tie Obama?
And then we have to figure out which one is evil.
Well, yeah, there could be three Obamas for all we know.
Well, this, of course, is why people are getting killed, because they found out about it.
I'm telling you, there's something very suspicious here.
All right, once again, to send us your entertainment dollars to keep the program on the air.
And of course, you can always do something extremely important, which is to go out there and propagate our formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
New world. Order.
Shut up, slave. Order. Order.
*mwah* Bye.
Woot.
Alright, well that's that.
Put a crimp in this show.
Sorry.
Why?
I didn't...
Okay.
Alright.
So let's see what we got here.
Um...
Yeah, so I'm watching a...
I've got a bunch of different weird things to talk about.
It all tends to be leaning a little bit toward real news.
We do have a distraction of the week.
There's several of them, but hold on.
Which ones do you like?
I think one is slightly educational, and that's the one I kind of wouldn't mind dealing with.
Go ahead.
Well, there was a huge distraction over in Gitmo Nation Lowlands, which has to do more with Euroland, so we can do that later.
Oh, we'll just do the distraction.
See if you can pull it out of this clip from the Insider, which is the intro to one of the shows, like Extra.
Is it the Extra Extra?
No, use the Insider.
Use that clip.
Oh, yes.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Here we go.
All righty.
Ashton Kutcher back home and confronted about cheating.
And Demi Moore convulsing during her 911 call.
What she smoked that led to the emergency.
I'm Kevin Frazier.
And I'm Brooke Anderson.
The Insider is on.
We need an ambulance here as soon as possible.
She smoked something.
It's not marijuana.
Demi's emergency after smoking a potentially dangerous substance.
New clues from the just released frantic call for help.
What does she take?
Some form of ****.
And then she smoked something.
I'm Matt Babel at the fire station where paramedics heard the full 911 call.
Could she have been smoking something called spice?
It can have some very severe side effects.
To me, to me, can you hear me?
She's burning up.
Plus...
Ashton.
Ashton back home and getting grilled.
You must feel bad that your infidelity drove her to do this.
Then...
Heidi Kluzak's besieged wearing his wedding ring while Seal just left the country.
The godmother of Beyonce's daughter is Oprah Winfrey.
I don't know if anybody at the table would know anything about that.
Gayle King on Beyonce's search for Blue Ivy's godmother.
We're on Starwatch.
Plus...
Welcome back.
Remembering a Welcome Back Cotter star?
His last appearance with John Travolta?
A New York TV anchor off the air after his rape allegation?
Did Ray Kelly's son impregnate the accuser?
Are there telling text messages?
That is going to be a key piece of evidence.
This weekend's award show do's and don'ts.
And the red carpet walk of shame.
Celine, J-Lo, and Angelina's date.
She's the most amazing accessory.
Now from Hollywood, the insider is on.
The most violent and nude show on TV. I'm behind the scenes with the sexy stars.
How they really feel about the extremes they have to go to.
I just threw up in my mouth.
Yep.
I think our donations are down because they're not doing enough of this.
So, why did they bleep the 911 call?
Is it like this is going to be a Jeopardy question now?
I wondered about that myself.
I don't know what the point was, but I think they were promoting these marijuana analogs out there for sale, which I didn't know too much about.
Spice?
There's two of them, actually.
I didn't mention the other one.
It seems like a promotion for this stuff.
Well, duh.
Of course it's a promotion.
Actually, it's interesting because if you listen to the Extra Extra rundown, which we don't have to play, they kind of accused her of smoking nitrous oxide.
And there's a whole bunch of stories about that.
But that's...
You inhale it.
You don't smoke it.
You inhale nitrous oxide.
Right.
You don't smoke it, A.
And B, it's harmless, essentially.
It doesn't cause any of these seizures.
And nobody mentions in any of the stories I heard about it that it's the stuff that dentists use.
And it's called laughing gas.
Yeah.
And you put it in a garbage bag so you don't take too much of it and you kind of...
Why do I know this?
I don't know.
I'm wondering myself.
But anyway, the point is that that was a red herring.
It didn't go anywhere.
But this other stuff, Spice, which is this marijuana analog, and then another one I know mentioned, which is the other hot one, which is...
Catnip.
It's called Catnip.
That's the brand.
Catnip.
And then there's another brand called Catnip?
It's the Spice brand, yeah.
Okay, and then there's a thing called K2. Right, right, K2. And apparently what's happened is that these guys, we have a lot of geniuses in this country that can't get work.
And so they work on things like this, which is you get a...
You look at the marijuana, the THC molecule, and you attach things to it.
And what they've done, they've attached these other chemicals to it.
So if you do analyze it, it's really not THC and it's legal.
But apparently under just the mildest amount of heat, the bond breaks and you get straight shots of THC if you smoke it.
Which is why this stuff's become kind of an interesting product.
But...
It's an outstanding product, not just an interesting product.
You've tried it?
No, I've not tried it.
The only thing that went awry in my smoking days is one of Christina's friends sold me what they told me was hash, but it was basically CDs they had melted down.
And I smoked that.
Yeah, that was not good.
Nice friends.
But anyway, the stupidity of this story, which makes the whole thing look like a fake, is that in California...
Anybody can get a prescription for medical marijuana with very little effort.
In fact, many of the giant marijuana shows and displays that they've had, there's doctors there that will sign off on this stuff.
Yeah, they'll tell you that you have your stress syndrome and you get your license.
It's not anything.
There's a million things you get the prescription for.
And so you can get medical marijuana...
With very little effort, why would you, in California, I could see maybe in some state like, you know, Kansas, would buy this stuff.
I'm just going to disagree.
I don't think it was a promotion for Spice.
I think either she was smoking crack.
Well, crack is what I think she must have been smoking.
Or DMT. It could be.
DMT, I think, is going to have a resurgence.
Yeah, you've said this for a couple of years now.
I haven't seen it yet.
No, it's going to happen.
Nobody talks about it.
But crack is always...
I mean, I think you're probably right.
And this is just misleading the public.
Or poll.
Maybe she was just smoking.
But it is giving Spice a nice bunch of publicity because a lot of people didn't know about it.
Right.
I didn't know about it.
You didn't know about Spice?
We've talked about Spice on the show.
I don't remember.
I'm not a druggie.
All right, here's Demi Moore.
Oh, this is some good crack!
And then she's speaking Chinese.
Exactly.
Call an ambulance!
She's speaking Chinese!
Hey, citizen!
Poor girl, though.
She was so hot, and then she ruined her face.
This is exactly what happens.
You get this young, hot dude, and she was bringing in women to the bedroom, doing everything.
And Ashton Kutcher is a dick!
I mean, Demi Moore was a beautiful woman.
She ruined her face with Botox and facelifts and...
Just ruined everything and now she's smoking crack.
Everyone should tweet to Ashton Kutcher right now.
You're a douchebag.
You ruined Demi.
She probably ruined herself.
I'm not going to credit him with anything.
I am.
I am.
You must have a crush on her then.
Of course.
How could you not have a crush on the old Demi?
What do you mean?
You like her now more?
No, less.
Well, she is the old to me now.
No, I mean the old young to me.
What are we even talking about this for?
You're right.
You got caught up in it, didn't you?
That's one mother I liked of.
Yeah, I did get caught up in it.
Ha.
Thanks.
So we're watching, we're still on the subject.
No!
So there's a new network on television, which is the worst.
The worst, but it's unbelievable.
You can't, in fact, they even have this thing called ID Addiction.
You can't turn it off because it's just so gross.
It's called the ID channel.
What is it about?
It means investigative discovery.
It's a discovery channel and it's about investigations.
I have a clip here.
That I want you to play the one.
That was the one I sent you, an AUG that's now in the other.
But before I do, this is just a clip from one of the shows with the classic teaser as they go into commercial.
We'll play the clip first and then I'll read some of the line up on the show.
Dollars.
Good friend Kathy Boone stood by Michelle.
She paid the bills, and she raised her children, so it wasn't like she had hands on.
She was caught off guard as much as we were.
She was angry, Adam, that this was going on, but she was also worried for his safety too, because he is the father of her children.
Michelle had every reason to worry about her husband.
Things were about to get even worse.
And I just kept saying, it just doesn't seem like something he would do.
Are you sure it's him?
What are you doing to the show?
You're ruining our show!
This is stupid!
You gotta play that little hit.
Yeah, I actually like that.
So let me give you the rundown of this new network.
These networks have just deteriorated.
They don't play there.
We did this before.
I'm going to do this quiz again.
Yeah, but why are you going to do this again?
No, I'm not going to do the quiz.
I'm just going to give you the rundown of this network.
What Did I Marry?
Which is the show that's on constantly, and it's all these women who are all homemakers that marry some guy who's a bank robber, he's a molester, and they find out at the last minute.
And, of course, one guy marries a psycho chick, and it's just like these real short half-hour shows.
That's on most of the day.
And then they follow that up with scorned love kills.
A successful attorney lay dead in her bathtub, victim of an apparent drowning.
I married a mobster.
And the joke of it is that this is where true crime with Aphrodite Jones, this is like the police gazette, and guess what celebrity hostess who told Fox to screw themselves because she didn't want to show her legs, ends up on this network, Paula Zahn.
Really?
Paula Zahn?
Paula Zahn's now on this network with one of these shows.
You know, I worked with Paula Zahn.
On the case with Paula Zahn.
I worked with Paula Zahn back in the 80s when she was on CBS. And she plays cello, which is probably one of the sexiest instruments for a woman to play.
And I have an autographed picture.
Personalized.
With her playing her cello.
I mean, you know, you get to my drift, right?
It's like, oh, wow.
She was hot.
She was sexy.
And now she's on the ID channel?
On the case with Paula Zahn.
Episode coming up when a beautiful young graduate student is found stabbed to death.
Detectives must determine if the murder was a crime of passion or a brutal attack by a violent intruder.
All right, stop.
You're killing me.
Stop.
Enough already.
Let me get on to some real news here.
You've been banned for the next five minutes.
You cannot do that.
You can't do that.
Well, then you've got to take me out with the sting.
Oh, wait a minute.
John C. Dvorak, you have been banned for the next five minutes.
Oh God.
Alright, so I'm prepping yesterday.
We flew in.
It's only like a four-hour flight from Drone Air to Houston.
And then we had to drive from Houston to Austin.
Actually, Ms.
Mickey was very sweet.
She drove almost the whole way so that I could kind of prep in the car and get ready.
But so we're in here, like 4 or 5 o'clock, and I'm prepping away.
And of course, I have all my channels on in the background.
There was nothing on C-SPAM, so I flipped on CNN. And, you know, we still have no conclusive evidence of what has happened to the Leroy 12 situation.
Which, by the way, is now not just the Leroy 12, it is now the 15 girls and one boy, interestingly enough, in Leroy, New York, up near Buffalo, who all of a sudden have developed what is now basically being diagnosed as conversion syndrome, but it looks a lot like Tourette's.
I mean, I got Tourette's, but not that bad.
And, of course, I'm pretty sure that this is an adverse reaction to Gardasil, and the tip-off is that it's predominantly girls, and now there's one boy, which would make sense, and it can't really be conversion syndrome because now we had two other cases pop up 250 miles away.
So this is a big deal, and I am standing by my assertion that this is an adverse reaction to maybe a bad batch of Gardasil, Which I think is why they're doing everything they can to cover this up.
They're bringing in Sanjay Gupta, Pooper's on the case.
Now, of course, if you want a shill, who are you going to bring in?
Who is the best shill on television to bring in to try and cover this up?
Obviously, Dr.
Drew, right?
So first, let's get the latest update.
Hello, darling.
Let's get the latest update.
Listen to...
Very carefully to this report, John, before we get to Dr.
Drew, and listen at the end because there's something very ominous that is being brought to the forefront in this report about what's going on up there.
Very, very scary.
Listen to it.
Hold on a second.
Here we go.
There's good news and bad news when it comes to the case of that strange illness in Leroy.
The bad news is more cases are coming forward.
The state health department has confirmed 15, one of them a boy.
Dr.
Laszlo Meschler of the Dent Neurologic Institute says he's...
Yeah, one of them a boy.
You know, we know that they've been pushing for vaccines to be given to boys, too.
So the ratio would be about right, 15 to 1.
Personally diagnosed.
What?
I said, can we call the boy and find out whether he got the shot?
This, of course, is nowhere to be found.
They say that not all of the girls received the shot.
But keep listening to this.
Ten of them, including the boy with conversion disorder or mass psychogenic illness as a group.
The good news is more experts are coming forward to help, including those from the National Institutes of Health.
We are very interested in psychogenic movement disorders.
This is one of our major areas of interest, and when we saw that there were patients who had possible conversion disorder, we wanted to make the doctors aware that we're interested in making second opinions on these cases.
Now this is very interesting.
This is the National Institute of Health, which I believe has long been just a spokeshole for any pharmaceutical bull crap that is being legalized for these horrible drugs that are being pushed onto our children.
And you hear the guy saying, we've been very long interested in this kind of research.
In fact, he stumbled.
Did you catch the stumble there?
Hit it again.
Yeah, I will.
That we're able to...
That we're interested in...
Yeah, he said, we're able to...
Oh, that we're able to...
What he's trying to say is we're able to diagnose this.
Remember that Sanjay Gupta was saying, yeah, this is great science.
We can hook your brain up.
We can tell you that you're sick.
We're able to...
But he pulls back on that and says, oh, we're very interested.
Interested in making second opinions on these cases.
Dr.
Mark...
Now, why are you interested in making second opinions?
I didn't like that.
It continues, though.
Hallett of the NIH says the students who are willing to come to Bethesda, Maryland and get tested could do so free of charge.
Others who are eligible could also participate in an ongoing conversion disorder research study there.
This study has been enrolling participants since 2007, all of whom need to be 18 years or older unless an amendment is made to include more of the teens.
The patients will have blood tested for two genes that are normally found in healthy individuals to see if they're found more frequently in patients with uncontrolled shaking.
Now let me just say, I have been studying Tourette's Syndrome almost all my life since I have it.
It's like, no one has any clue.
And all of a sudden, oh, we can hook you up to the brain machine.
Oh, there's two genes.
Oh, if you have the genes, and of course, it's easy for this to happen.
It's contagious.
There's all kinds of crazy shit they're pulling out now to conceal the fact that this is vaccination damage.
They'll also undergo a functional MRI to look at how the brain functions while the subject performs a specific task.
In addition to help from the NIH, Dr.
Meschler also reached out to a doctor in Rochester specializing in tick disorder.
Now listen very carefully to this guy, Johns.
And the three of us, I think, would like to work together if obviously the children decide with their parents to come back if they still have faith in us.
Now, did you hear what he said?
To come back, they still have faith in us?
Mm-hmm.
Now listen to the last bit.
But this coming Sunday, the parents are bringing in their own neurologist specializing in an autoimmune disease called PANDAS.
Now PANDAS, are you familiar with this?
With PANDAS? No.
P-A-N-D-A-S. PANDAS. This is an autoimmune disease that not necessarily can you get it from vaccinations, but when we're talking about autoimmune disease, this is where you get into the adjuvants and all kinds of stuff that can cause this.
Listen to what this guy says.
And that's worrisome to Dr.
Meshler.
I have received phone calls about the potential that That this may be a significant concern for the health of the girls.
What does that mean?
It means they're going to die.
He says, no, the way I hear the report...
The parents want to bring in a separate guy, a third party, investigating the pandas, and then the NIH guy comes back and says, well, this is not good.
I fear for the health of these girls.
What are they going to do?
Are they going to go up there and shoot them in the dead of night?
What is going on here?
Listen to that again.
...specializing in an autoimmune disease called PANDAS, and that's worrisome to Dr.
Meshler.
I have received phone calls about the potential that this may be a significant concern for the health of the girls.
I mean, you can hear it any way you want, but I hear it like the guy's threat.
Well, you're saying that it sounds like they're going to...
Yeah, you're making it sound like somebody clued him into some threat from these drug companies.
That's what I think.
Just cover up this mess.
But we have a new player on the scene.
A new player.
I'm sure you missed this one.
Aaron Brockovich now on the scene.
And what's she going to do?
Ah!
Let me play the report, the interview she did with Dr.
Drew.
First, Karen, thank you so much for being here.
I really appreciate it.
Now, let me tell you, first off the bat, I have to give you my opinion on Erin Brockowitz.
Well, you better give background to the people that don't know who she is.
Erin Brockovich, people really only know her because of the award-winning performance Julia Roberts gave about this legal assistant who, the way the story goes, found out about Pacific Gas and Electric dumping, I think it was aluminum chromide?
I can't remember exactly which chemical it was.
It'll come up in this interview.
Into the water and made all of the people of the town of Hinkley very, very sick.
They had cancer, bloody noses, colon pooping out, horrible things.
And it turned into one of the landmark case in which, get this, $333 million was awarded to all of the residents of Hinkley.
She has gone on.
And by the way, this is not the story.
If you do some research, the story as portrayed by Julia Roberts is not exactly the entire story as it went down.
But of course, no one really looks into the history of what really happened.
They look at the movie and like, wow, it's great.
And Julia Roberts is sexy and hot.
So it's Erin Brockovich, who has a huge boob job.
Both her kids, by the way, are druggies.
She's completely she's she's I'm going to tell you this.
She's a terrorist.
She goes out and she terrorizes Any company, and I'm okay with her terrorizing Merck and everything and trying to squeeze money out of them, but she does go to anywhere that there's any kind of something might be in the air, and what she does is she terrorizes these companies into basically paying people off.
And that's what happened in the story of Hinckley as well.
People got the money and they were paid off and they couldn't sue any further, right?
Did that summarize it more or less?
Yes.
More or less.
Okay.
So she shows up on the scene all of a sudden with Dr.
Drew and listen very carefully because either she's in on it or she was tricked into being in on it.
How did you end up involved in this case?
Well, back in December, I had been contacted by a couple of the community members in Leroy, and one of them was a family member whose daughter had been affected.
And I, like everybody else, you know, kind of watched this story unfold, and it kind of hit the media very, very quickly, and there was a sudden diagnosis.
It seemed that it sort of faded and sort of disappeared.
It did.
Did you have the same reaction I did?
The diagnosis seemed...
didn't feel right in your gut?
And then it kind of closed the door on further investigation?
Well, I think the first thing that...
Right.
So that's our first clue right there.
Yes, because we know that it's really Gardasil, but we're doing anything to cover it up because the pharmaceutical industry basically pays all of CNN's bills.
It hit me in my gut was, well...
You haven't necessarily ruled anything and everything in or out.
It just seemed to be a very quick diagnosis.
And what happened very quickly after it got into the media was one of the family members, somebody put a note in their mailbox.
Somebody put a note in the mailbox.
How does this sound to you, John?
Someone put a note in the mail, an anonymous note.
And it was about a 1971 derailment, and the contaminated rock and fill and soil was used to build the new school.
So hold, slow down now, so slow down.
You found out, this is something you then were able to corroborate?
We're still trying to corroborate that.
So what I did immediately to research it, I went online, and lo and behold, in 1971, there was a very serious train derailment that caused one ton of cyanide to spill and 45,000 gallons of TCE. Okay, TC is trichloroethylene.
Is that the same thing that was in your story that became a movie?
No, Hinkley was hexavalent chromium.
Trichloroethylene is a well-known carcinogen.
Can it also cause these sorts of neurological problems?
I have read and been involved in cases that we have that...
She's nice.
I see where this is headed.
Right?
So, it goes on and on.
I have the clip in the show notes at 378.8.
This is bogus.
Totally bogus.
I mean, the logic is not there.
I mean, why now?
Because she's an ambulance chaser.
No, I mean, but the logic of her assertion.
Oh, yes, of course.
You have to ask, why now?
Somebody dug a hole, and there it was, and these girls stuck their heads in there.
No.
Well, she did all this research, but if you just go to the EPA.gov, in 1999, this is when this thing really popped to the foreground about the water and the crystals and the cyanide and this whole thing that happened in 1999.
In 1971, not 1970, when this train derailed.
So she's just out there waiting for any opportunity to go and sue somebody, and it makes no sense.
Why would it be 15 girls and one boy?
What, TCE only causes neurological disorders in girls?
This is a total cover-up, and either she's complicit in it, Or she's just been, you know, she got the anonymous note.
She got called by someone from the community.
The cover-up on this is now they're really grasping for straws.
And to bring Erin Brockovich in is a big deal.
Because she'll be on every single news network talking about this.
Because she's got big boobs.
She's funny to look at.
We all think of Julia Roberts.
Milfie this, Milfie that.
They're really going all out on this, John.
Really going all out.
Yeah, I'm going to read a paragraph from the Population Research Institute, or some woman, Joan Robinson, who has been, she's on your side of this argument.
And let me see if I can find this one.
It's kind of interesting.
Here's what my research has turned up to date.
15,037 girls have officially reported adverse side effects from Gardasil.
To the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, V-A-E-R-S, which we should have a copy of.
These adverse effects include Guillain-Barr, which paralyzes half of you, lupus, seizures, which this sounds like, paralysis, blood clots, brain inflammation, and many others.
The CDC acknowledges that there have been 44 reported deaths.
So, I mean, it's not like this is all new.
No, it's not.
But why they continue with this is just beyond me.
I think this is all part of the fact that they've got this exemption from lawsuits that lets them do this.
This is our government at work.
This is the fault of the legislature.
Yes.
Because you can't sue the pharmaceutical companies over bogus vaccines.
You can't do it.
But that's beyond the point.
Have you seen any Gardasil HPV commercials recently?
No.
They're being very, very quiet.
Because that is a bonanza for them.
Rick Perry, that douchebag, mandated that stuff in Texas.
And of course, Google is absolutely not helpful in trying to find out if there was any mandatory vaccination program.
Were there vaccination programs at the school?
You just can't find any information about it.
Either it's been Google washed, which wouldn't surprise me, or it's just filled with so many other bogus links about Aaron Brockowitz that you just can't get through it anymore.
You can't find the information.
But this smells so much like a cover-up.
Well, it's going to be a good story for somebody, some writer out there.
It's just sickening.
Now, let me just get off that.
I'll just get off the topic for one second.
But closely related, a survey comes out now, and this all has to do with vaccines and adjuvants, that microwave popcorn bag pollutants Which are the PFCs, which are not just in microwave popcorn, but that is a very smart PR company who puts that in because that's the headline,
but really water-resistant clothing, all different kinds of plastics, that these PFCs, which are perfluorinated compounds, Lower the immune response to vaccines in kids.
So, the headline is, microwave popcorn bags make your kids less immune.
And vaccines don't work properly.
Or, is it a way to get adjuvants in?
Because we have to boost that stuff up because kids are all using, you know, like popcorn.
So there's a lot going on in the vaccine scene on the big pharma side.
And I don't think they're our friends.
No, obviously.
Well, this will be an interesting...
You're going to follow it closely.
I'm following it very, very closely.
Oh, by the way, would you please, not you, but if you have a chance, tweet at Social Moms.
You can also find them at socialmoms.com.
Social Moms is basically for housewives who have nothing better to do but sit around all day and try and make money on the Internet, either taking their boobs out on webcams, Or joining the Social Moms Rewards program and get Amazon gift cards by tweeting things such as this.
Now it is possible to diagnose and treat ADHD in children as young as four years of age!
Yay!
So moms are out there tweeting that you can now diagnose your kid as young as four and start getting them on Ritalin right away.
They're douchebags.
Social moms.
Blow me.
Oh, I hate this.
Play it, play it, play it, play it the pet peeve.
Douchebags.
I don't see curries, pet peeve all the day.
And while we're at it, you might as well play the drug ad for, I think it's Intune-ive, Intune-ive or something like that.
For some children like Eric, adding once-daily non-stimulant Intuniv to their stimulant has been shown to provide additional ADHD symptom improvement.
Don't take if allergic to Intuniv, its ingredients, or taking other medicines with guanfacine like Tennex.
Intuniv may cause serious side effects such as low blood pressure, low heart rate, fainting, and sleepiness.
Intuniv may affect the ability to drive or use machinery.
Other side effects include nausea, tiredness, trouble sleeping, stomach pain, and dizziness.
Tell the doctor about your child's medicines and medical conditions, including heart, liver, or kidney problems.
Adding in tune-in, how Derek!
Ask the doctor about once-daily non-stimulant Intuniv.
So it's in addition to your Ritalin you gotta give the kid Intuniv?
You gotta look this drug up.
Here's the deal.
It's like Ritalin is like this upper Intuniv stuff is like Intuniv.
You gotta tune the kid.
Oh, tweak.
It's a downer.
Oh, no!
Yeah, so you give the kid Ritalin and then he's like still not working out right and you give him this stuff.
And the main thing is about it, it makes the kid stupid.
But I'm reading between the lines and then they show that this commercial is pathetic because they show this little kid who's like, I don't know, eight.
Wait, is he playing piano or doing his homework?
No, he's at the table.
He's at the dining room table.
He's being a really nice little kid.
He's like very quiet, like he's a Chinese kid in China or something.
He's very, very, you know, and he just sits there and he just looks pathetic.
I love it when they have these commercials and the kid's playing piano and doing his homework and being a nice little slave.
Why don't they just combine the two?
Because you've got two drug sales.
Come on!
Well, but we can have a third.
You can take them separately or you can just have a third called Zombie.
Zombie.
Okay, there's your challenge for our producers out there.
We need a direct commercial for zombie.
Zombie, yeah.
Zombie.
Just call it zombie.
The big Z. My kids, ever since I started giving my kid the big Z, he's been performing great.
He's like banging on the piano.
I'll write a script you can do.
So meanwhile, in Gitmo Nation East, the BBC, of course, they're now passing this stuff out, and there's a big push.
We got the emails right from the Member of Parliament's secretary, who sent them to us covertly, that they had to choose between Saravax or Gardasil for the national health system, basically handing it out and mandating it.
Remember that actress that they had the actress do the documentary?
Some actors I've never heard of.
Remember this?
We played a clip of her?
Yeah, not vaguely.
So she's back because now, of course, the documentary is going to be on television, on the telly.
So the BBC puts her on the radio show.
And just listen to, you know, you'd think that if she's pushing the Gardasil, which she is, but listen to how she does it and the disinformation that comes out of her piehole is unbelievable.
I was a bit like, oh, I don't know if I really would like to do a...
Do a documentary on oral sex.
I don't know if that's really for me.
Yeah, of course.
What?
A documentary on oral sex, that's really for me, she thought.
Okay, so let's listen.
By the time, my friend Paul Nichols was diagnosed with cancer.
Diagnosed of cancer, but...
Different type of cancer.
Oh, different type of cancer.
But so she's very familiar with cancer.
But, um...
She's an expert on cancer, because her friend got cancer.
But different kind of cancer.
It did kind of get my curiosity going, and I did feel like I just wanted to know a bit more about the big C. The big C. It's all through, like, bodily fluids, basically, you know, any or all sex, like, you know.
Normal sex or kissing or anything where any bodily fluids are exchanged.
You know, HPV is a virus that lives, like, in the skin.
So, you know, like, it could be, like, in your mouth or in any other sort of areas of your body.
And it...
It could be in my armpit, apparently, John.
Any other place in my body.
My armpit, my ear.
It's everywhere!
And by the way, I'm so...
Citizen, run!
Hey, citizen.
Hey, citizen.
You've got a virus in your ear.
I'm so tired of British people saying H instead of H. Get it right.
It's H, not H. HPV. It's HPV. Get it right.
It basically is from oral sex, and that can turn into a virus, which then, if it's not, you know, protected or...
I don't know, vaccinated or however you want to say it.
Vaccinated or protected or you can catch it!
You know, approach, then it can turn cancerous.
You can't screen for it.
So by the time it gets to the point of, um...
Well, a dangerous point, basically.
It's kind of a lump in your throat, and that's the only point where you can operate.
Obviously, this show, we don't want people to be like, oh my god, I can't have oral sex, I can't do this, you know, inevitably that's going to happen, you know, it's like the whole com-dom issue, like, you know, my shoes are com-doms, like, you know, people don't, and, you know, we live in the real world where, you know, You know, they bring up these silly kind of thing like dental derms, which are like oral sex things and it's just...
How silly!
Now don't protect yourself.
Get the shot!
Right, you know, it's not realistic to think that people aren't going to have oral sex.
It is realistic that there is a vaccine that...
This woman's preoccupied.
Oh, yeah.
We get the picture.
Well, let me just finish up.
It's the last 13 seconds.
...to prevent people from getting this HPV-related oral cancer.
So...
For me, I would just really say get vaccinated or get yourself checked.
Yeah, get vaccinated.
Go ahead, get your shot, slave.
Get vaccinated because this stupid actress says so.
So they're bringing in these teams into this area to look at the girls and this one boy.
Obviously, to do the epidemiological studies, the deep ones, the ones that take a real team of people to find out This is part of the cover-up, but the real thing is, on behalf of the drug company, to find out why is there this cluster?
Because there's probably some coincident other thing going on.
Well, there's not even a cluster, John.
There's now two more, 250 miles away.
Well, they're going to have to go find out what they're going to bring them into it, too, because there's something in the water or something they eat, or if you maybe eat an apple and get the shot, you get the shakes.
But why only girls?
It's, that's, it's, well, we're saying it, but here's what, you're missing my point.
They're doing this on behalf of the Gardasil makers to figure it out what the hell happened with this group of girls who got the shot and they bought one boy to keep it from happening someplace else.
Like, all of a sudden, you can't drink orange juice and then get the shot.
I mean, who knows?
Right.
But there's obviously something going on.
They're freaked about it.
Or they had a bad batch.
Well, that's always a possibility.
If it's just a bad batch, though, I don't think you'd be bringing all these hot shots and, you know, it's a bad batch, just cover it up and leave.
You don't bring in investigators if it's a bad batch.
Just kill them.
That's easy.
They don't mind killing brown people in deserts.
Just go in there and kill them.
Finish them off.
Finish them off.
There's still one too many to kill.
They've probably been doing that all along.
Oh, yeah.
44.
So far, 44.
I'm looking at your...
What was that...
Intuniv?
Intuniv.
So this is the active ingredient is guanfacine?
Yeah, I think it's related to that anti-congestant material.
Well, according to recent studies, guanfacine may be useful in treating ticks.
Oh!
There's been success when tick symptoms are comorbid with ADHD. That sounds like you.
Yeah, I should get some.
Yeah.
You should.
Hey, John.
You should do this show.
Hey, man.
I can play the piano really well.
This is what we do, ladies and gentlemen.
We fight evil and we bring these things to the forefront.
Because no one else will.
All you get is Dr.
Drew, who's amazed at Aaron Brockovich's tits.
Because that's all it was.
He's like, her boobs are amazing.
Get her on the show.
We're doing an eight-minute segment with this bitch.
He's fantastic.
You want to hear a real douchebag?
Well, haven't we heard enough douchebags?
But sure.
No, you'll like this one.
This is one of your pet peeves.
This is Leon Panetta being interviewed and asked a question.
In how many countries are we currently engaged in a shooting war?
It's a good question.
You have to stop and count.
That's a good question.
we're killing people everywhere that's our secretary of defense he You know, wouldn't you think it would be kind of respectful if he at least knew?
I don't know why we don't go back to the old terminology.
I think the Secretary of Defense is bogus.
It used to be, during the Civil War, the Secretary of War...
Yeah.
Why don't we make it the War Department and get it over with?
We're not defending ourselves when we're doing a lot of these actions.
This should be the War Department and the Secretary of War the way it used to be before the politically correct group came in.
I don't know who changed it or when it changed.
We should look it up.
It's probably available on the Wikipedia page.
Probably in the 40s, I'm guessing.
But it always used to be the War Department.
Never used to be the Defense Department.
Let's go back to what it is, or at least honest about it.
Let me see if...
Boy, I'm glad Wikipedia is back on the air.
What would I do without it?
Let's see.
You have to use the mobile version.
Exactly.
Secretary of Defense is head and chief executive officer of the Department of Defense, executive department of the government.
This position corresponds to what is generally known as defense minister in many other countries.
September 18, 1947.
Is that when it changed?
That's when it ended.
The War Department existed until 1947.
Then it was re-established in 1949 as the United States Department of Defense.
Oh, there you go.
In the National Security Act of 1947, is that it?
It could be.
It was a marketing document.
Hey man, this really doesn't sound good, this war department.
I think we should change that.
But how horrible as a person are you, if not only do you know the answer to how many places we are killing people, because that's the question.
Hey, boss of war department, how many people are we killing in how many different places?
And not only does he not know the answer, he laughs about it.
Listen again.
In how many countries are we currently engaged in a shooting war?
It's a good question.
You have to stop and count.
I'll have to stop and think about that.
I'm just killing people everywhere.
Can I make a point?
Yeah.
It's not a good question.
Who's just kidding?
This is not a good question.
At least you didn't say it was a great question.
It was close enough.
You know, obviously, we're going after Al-Qaeda wherever they're at.
No.
That's right.
Wherever they're at.
Wherever they're at.
But he doesn't know the answer.
He doesn't even know the answer.
Because there is no answer.
You should be fired for not knowing the answer.
There's no answer.
Everyone's freelance and they're shooting all over the place.
Why don't you just admit it?
There is no answer.
There's no answer.
We don't know how many wars we're in.
We start them constantly.
They're starting and stopping.
It's kind of like Conroy's The Game of Life.
Things will pop up over here, a little battle, and it goes away.
Who knows?
We've got probably a battle going on in Chicago.
Got to see some of these little townships in your state of Texas where they got these guys are all, you know, dolled up in military gear.
It's like a war zone.
You think we're in a war zone in our own country.
We got the military flying helicopters over Los Angeles doing exercises.
We're shooting to people there, too.
More good news on the No Agenda show, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm very proud of our producers.
Even though we're not getting the credit for it, which is a shame, really, they're getting a lot of real mainstream media attention.
Of course, we have our knight in New York City who did the drone signs, the drone zone signs.
Remember we talked about those?
Yeah, no, we had one of them was on one of our covers for one of the shows.
Yeah, so not only did we get like a thousand word article in New Yorker magazine, but also Judge Napolitano brought him up.
There's up on the screen a photograph of a street corner, 11th Avenue and West 26th Street in New York City.
It's not very far from here.
And there is what appears to be a street sign that basically says, Attention, Authorized Drone Strike Zone, 8 a.m.
to 8 p.m.
This is obviously some sort of a joke.
No, it's obviously a promotion for the No Agenda Show, Judge.
I mean, we promote you all the time.
You could have at least slipped that in.
People take this in passing.
Have we become so acclimated to the militarization of the police that we look at something like this and don't think anything of it?
Absolutely.
Yeah, of course.
Absolutely.
And we had another promotion.
We had another promotion from Sir Jimmy from FreeHallowBooks.com, which I'm very proud of.
As you probably heard, the cocaine shipment sent to the United Nations headquarters was in 16 hollowed-out books.
Shipped from Mexico City in a bag made to look like a diplomatic pouch.
Can we just all get beyond the bull crap and just say, of course, the UN is receiving cocaine all the time.
Yeah, what else is there to do with the UNSF? Snort coke.
Right.
And it's like, oh no, this must have been some kind of practical joker.
16 keys, baby.
This is not a mistake.
This is not like some guy like, hey man, did you send the bag out?
Oh crap, man.
I can't believe I sent it to the United Nations.
It's like, come on.
Are you kidding me?
To a specific address.
Are you kidding me?
Spokesman Paul Brown says, they seem to have been delivered by accident.
Yes, by accident they got discovered.
Of course, everyone there is snorting coke.
A dealer inside the UN himself probably is like, crap, they got my stash.
Yeah, crap.
Inside 16 hollow books.
Good job, Jimmy.
Funny.
That's our people right there, everybody.
I love them.
Good job.
Books come in yet?
It's a great code, too.
Yeah, yeah.
All they have to do is go through all the email and you see references to books coming in.
You've got your guys.
By the way, that's 33 pounds just to give you another...
It won't do that.
Just to give you another magic number there.
16 keys.
I think any investigator that could have access to the email system or the voice messaging at the United Nations could find out where those books were going.
It wouldn't be hard.
It wouldn't be hard, but they won't do it.
I was reading some more about code, because you and I are really big on the code.
So is Syria in the Times, by the way?
Ah, Syria, let's see.
Yes, actually.
Oh, well, hold on a second.
Do we want to do the jingle?
Yeah, might as well.
We're still ahead of the game, but let's do it.
Okay, we'll do the jingle.
John's gonna hum the Sunday Times.
My assertion, of course, is that it's the Saturday Times that really has the important messages for the elite few who get the Saturday Times.
And the Sunday Times is sometimes misleading.
It's mostly for the general whoever it is that follows this stuff.
The Sunday Times has got Russian liberals growing uneasy with alliances, nationalists at issue.
This is a little bit...
This has got a little bit to do with Russia.
I mean, with Syria.
Calculations that led Romney to the warpath and Gingrich's money.
There's a piece on Shelley Adelson, who should be supporting our show, but doesn't know it exists.
So I go back to the Saturday times to see what's going on.
Ah!
Above the fold, right at the top.
Uh-huh.
A riot scene with some guy being choked, some poor bastard.
The crowd turned on a man suspected of being an infiltrator from the security forces center during a funeral for a rebel fighter that is just killing this guy.
They've beaten him.
Well, that's the scene, John.
We don't know if it's true.
It's just a picture.
Yeah, it could be staged.
The whole thing doesn't...
The photo doesn't look right.
It doesn't...
For a lot of different reasons.
For one reason, why are they wearing...
Head scars from Palestine.
Anyway.
Armed fighters help Syria rebels make inroads.
Top story in the Saturday Times.
Okay, so we know something's going on, but we still have to get this message.
So they have one of the rare pull quotes, which shows up right under the headline in the third column.
It's a very interesting layout, which is to tell us the real message we need to know.
Mm-hmm.
Russia sides firmly with Assad.
Moscow remains a defender of Syria, providing it with a political lifeline and weapons.
So just be aware of the situation.
Back off.
So it would be great if we had any listeners in Syria, and maybe we do, or maybe we have listeners who have family in Syria.
That's very possible, of course.
So I was reading an interview with Ankar Kochneva, We're good to go.
I'm like, wow, okay.
Oh.
So, of course, the question is, why would Al Jazeera and Al Arabia be disseminating all these falsified reports on Syria?
And this is what you and I have been asserting for a while as I'm trying to take it down.
Just like Libya, we get all this phony baloney video and the shaky cams on YouTube.
And, of course, we can't put Pooper in there because it would be too dangerous for him.
We can't get any real reporting.
So just show lots of YouTube videos and grainy video.
And it's like, oh, he's killing it.
So this guy, Ankar, he says, Listen to this, John.
You'll love it.
For instance...
On the weather forecasts on Syrian broadcast television, temperature indices actually stand for the time when protesters are supposed to assemble in a specific location to provoke unrest.
If you're with the, quote, opposition, the broadcast tells you there will be a rally in Homs tomorrow at 12 p.m.
And a specially instructed camera crew will be waiting for you and your associates turn up to act as the angry masses.
You spend five minutes yelling down with Assad in a square and leave with with hard cash in your pocket.
And the world gets TV images of a street revolution rocking Syria.
So they're using the weather forecast to send out the code.
That's cool.
It's going to be really warm tomorrow in Homs around noon.
Around noon.
See this red spot here?
This one right here over this square?
It's going to be very warm there around noon.
At 12.15, the highest expectancy reached.
It's going to be very hot and humid.
Yeah, no, we...
Yeah, we're big believers that there's this messaging going on, and I don't think we're the only ones.
I think it is going on.
It's the way you do it.
I mean, you can't do it any other way, or you just get busted.
Yeah, it's great to do it on the weather forecast.
New York Times, again, back to the Saturday paper, if you go inside with these articles, they go inside, and the entire page A6 and A7 spread is essentially all about Syria.
Including the Egyptians attacking the Syrian embassy, which seems like a stretch to put that in there.
And then there's the explanation for the Russians.
The Hamas leader abandons his longtime base in Damascus.
And the whole Syrian thing is, well, we have suspected this is some sort of a phony baloney deal since the beginning.
When there's real activity going on in Bahrain.
How about Poland?
Poland.
They're rioting in Poland.
Well, they're rioting all over Europe.
What are they rioting in Poland about?
ACTA. Oh, yeah.
Or at least that's what they say they're writing about.
We don't know.
I got a boots-on-the-ground note, which I had to destroy.
I just took the copy of the relevant information from one of our producers, who I cannot mention in this case.
Now, this could be disinfo, but I do know this producer.
He's been working on stuff with us for a while.
Doesn't mean he still can't be...
He's not a kook, that's for sure, but he could be a highly trained spy.
I don't know.
A good friend of mine has a boyfriend in the Army who is a colonel.
She told me her boyfriend is being deployed to Iran on Monday the 30th.
Monday the 30th of this month?
Yeah.
That's interesting.
Now, what's the status of her boyfriend?
Is he like a soldier?
He's a colonel.
Is he a colonel for like...
Army.
U.S. Army.
Okay.
Not for DIA or anything?
No, I don't know.
That's all I have.
That's all I have.
Could be DIA. Could be.
But I was like, wow, okay.
Holy moly.
Well, I'm not seeing any...
We don't see any messaging in that regard.
I do have a messaging thing talking about Syria, since we're still kind of on that.
The Haaretz news source, they have a headline, Syria forces kill 33...
In Rebel Town near Lebanon border, activists say.
And 33 shows up in Sky News, which would be...
Code.
That's all code.
Yeah, I saw that too.
But something's fake about something going on.
And then Suicide Bomber kills 33 at Shiite funeral in Iraq.
Another bogus coincidence, which is a message for...
We don't know, by the way...
What the deal is on the 33.
We just observe it.
Adam does it more usually than I do.
But let me mention one that I ran into that I thought was interesting, which was Dominion Resources, fourth quarter net down 33%.
Now, this is a stock with a stock symbol D. Hold on one second.
Thanks.
And it's just a beautiful stock.
I mean, if you want to see, if you really have a lot of money to invest, because it's one of these steady, upward-swinging utilities companies.
Well, I looked at the chart, and what it says to me, if this is a signal, this says that the stock, it retreats every once in a while, and it might go down to 33, which is the buying opportunity of a lifetime.
Yeah.
I'm just saying, I don't know what 33 means or why it's being used all the time, but it's obviously being used by somebody, and this would, to me, look like a stock tip.
I'm going to show myself a little by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
33.
And of course 33 is, we have to pay attention to this because we didn't get, so anyway.
What are you saying?
Adam Johnson, I want to thank him in Plymouth, Minnesota for $129.12 with the message.
Greetings, citizens.
Thank you for the best podcast in the universe, Multiverse Metaverse.
Call it whatever you want, advertising.
I'm just wrapping up a long-running development project and looking for a little karma to make doubly sure it all ends well.
I would also like to put my godson, Zachary Schendel, who will be turning five on the birthday for the list coming Sunday, 29th.
His dad's birthday was last Friday, but I didn't feel like he should be put on the list.
Why?
Because he, Nick Schendel, is a non-donating douchebag.
Do I need to call him out?
Yeah!
Douchebag!
Keep up the great work, citizen number 4594465105.
Anyway, so we have him on the list.
We need some karma there, so let me hand that one out as well.
You've got karma.
So I like his why because little tidbit.
I have a clip I want to go to because it's vaguely relevant, which is of a preacher begging for money, but he's actually threatening more than begging.
But he has this very interesting neuro-linguistic little bit in here that I just thought was...
I listened to it when you have to see him when he delivers it because he has one message, but the message is...
Just play this.
Building your faith on God's reputation.
When you plant the $273 seed, wrap faith and expectation around it.
I'll be sending you a very special letter.
Don't be surprised if I don't call you personally because I have been praying.
But respond and get ready because breakthrough's happening in your life.
Mike, this is fantastic!
Wait a minute, let me just try and replay that.
When you plant the $500 seed, we'll wrap it in karma.
Now, don't be surprised if we don't call you because we are working on your behalf.
Why?
Because we are fighting evil for you every single day.
Now, the way he slips in, don't be surprised.
Don't be surprised that I won't call.
I mean, what do you mean, don't be surprised you won't call?
It's like a message that he might call you.
That's right.
You can sit by the phone.
But he's not going to be calling.
On you?
That's what he just said.
He's not going to call you.
You're not going to be called, buddy.
Hey, don't be surprised if we don't call you.
But if you plant the seed, if you plant the seed of $500, we will wrap it in karma.
This is great.
This is great.
Don't be surprised if we don't call you.
That's good.
I like it.
Anyway, okay.
Andrew Wright in Totnes, Devin.
$123.
Karma me up, dudes!
New business of all.
Alright, here we go.
You've got karma.
Thank you.
Don't be surprised if we don't call you.
Don't be surprised.
Joseph Graceffo, I think.
Joseph Graceffo in Ramsey, New Jersey.
Jersey!
1-17-12.
In the morning, Citizens.
Get Monation Garden Stadium donating 1-7-1-2 to celebrate my belated 42nd birthday.
So I'd like a belated birthday shout-out from Adam, along with my 1-1-1-1 donation for 1-1-1-1.
I have 228.23 toward my knighthood.
I hope you are keeping track.
No, you keep track.
You keep track.
And don't be surprised if we don't call you.
Also, please fix the No Agenda website.
I've been trying to buy a Federal Reserve t-shirt on No Agenda Nation website.
Eric, I've been trying to buy a Federal Reserve t-shirt and after filling out the checkout info, it gives me an error every time.
By the way, bone air sucks!
If you want to take a real vacation, I have a Jersey Shore house on the boardwalk in beautiful Point Pleasant, Jersey, that I donate for Adam and Miss Meek.
What about me?
Hey, by the way?
Don't I get to go?
I'm good.
We'll go to your boardwalk home.
Thank you.
The only reason we were in Drone Air is because it was free.
Kidding me?
Free!
Well, Graceffo's got a free place, too.
Cool.
So, we'll mention to Eric, or we'll send him your email and you can deal with it.
David, by the way, you can also write him, you know, Eric at, what is it, Eric?
It's shillatnoagendanation.com.
shillatnoagendanation.com.
David Murkowski, Jackson, Mississippi.
Oh, he's been around.
Thank you, David.
Yeah, he's a regular donor.
He's constantly donating $111.11.
He gets value for value.
He likes the entertainment he's getting and the news dissemination, the media assassination.
Why?
Because don't expect us to call.
And Paul Donlan in Bellevue, Washington, once the home of Microsoft, $110.20.
Hi, guys.
Happy New Year's.
Attaches double nickels on the dimes times two.
Way late for last year, a tad early for this.
I'd like to request a shot of New Year karma.
Yes.
Karma is what it's all about, my friends.
You've got karma.
Edward Halsey in San Francisco, California, $100.
Could I get some karma for the newlyweds, Bob and Jenny?
Yes, of course.
Bob and Jenny karma coming at you.
You've got karma.
Talking about Bob, here's Bob Holmes, Newburgh, New York, 8421.
ITM, John and Adam, a little karma for the new year would be most appreciated.
Call it to all the non-donors for being total douchebags.
Douchebags!
It's also in order.
Just getting by.
Ow.
Oops.
You've got karma.
It hurts your ears ringing that bell too loud.
Ouch.
Chris Perry, Rockville, Maryland.
That's a good little place.
Hey, I used...
No, did I live in Rockville?
No, Pleasantville.
Pleasant View.
I don't know.
Somewhere around there.
A lot of people live in Rockville.
And a lot of them work for the government.
And a lot of them work for agencies.
77.77.
Just donating 77.77.
Yes, the donations are low.
Understood.
Just wish I had a shotgun in a backyard so I could shoot a clay pigeon from my window every time I hear about the low counts.
Perhaps you're magically transforming your bemoaning irritation through the podcast into my head.
This is why I donated.
Last time I donated big, above $50, I got a job offer last year to move cross-country and be a desktop engineer at an unnamed military medical center near Bethesda.
Yeah?
Like, that's hard to figure out.
Yeah.
Why?
Why?
Because so far so good.
You even got a raise after much wrangling because it costs so much more than in Nebraska and I'm still getting offers.
But I'd like some karma that will get me a decent job offer from the West Coast Seattle area since my woman got a job there and is crying that I don't care enough just to get up and leave.
Hello?
I'm paying off last year's debt so I can be free next year.
I'm not moving until I get a good offer.
Anyway, it goes on.
Last thing, it's possible to call out my friend Motion, a liberal atheist, mid-east, South Asian, for not listening and not donating.
Douchebag!
This a-hole thinks I should be open-minded.
Sorry, I tripped over the douchebag.
Open-minded meaning vote Democrat and believe in Obama, but he doesn't have the balls to open his mind for ten or more minutes or so.
Anyway...
So give him a karma and maybe we'll get a better job.
Absolutely.
West Coast job.
We've got karma.
Hey, but does that not just prove that when you up your karma that good things happen?
Yeah, you can't stop it.
That's right.
Tristan...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Michael Miller.
Sir Michael Miller came in again with a Hey Citizen comment and he wants a Hey Citizen karma.
$67.
Hey Citizen.
You've got karma.
That works.
It does.
It does.
Hey, citizen, you've got karma.
Yeah.
Tristan Mason in Auckland, Australia.
Hi, guys.
Pelsmacher seems quiet, and even JCD is starting to moan.
So I figure you're about on the bones of your arts by now.
Whatever that means, yes.
Perfect time to stop being a boner and give some love.
Now, Adam getting hitched.
We need to help build his car or his war chest for the big day.
Don't worry, Mickey.
We'll keep you in the manner you're accustomed to.
M-A-N-O-R. Yeah.
Please apply a de-douching to me and a karma to no agenda supporters and listening.
Keep up the good work so we don't have to.
Tristan, yet another one.
Mason, Gitmo Nation, Kiwi.
That's very, very kind.
That's very, very kind.
Thank you so much.
You've been D-Dougat.
Hey, Citizen.
So, yeah, he's in New Zealand, not Australia.
What am I thinking?
The Second Mile Productions in Melbourne, Ohio.
Oh, that's Brian and Susie Morris.
Yes.
Since Adam and Mickey stayed with us, we have had Super Karma, but apparently it is worn off.
Well, it does.
I mean, there's been lots of fracking in the area for a while now.
We formed a group to fight it.
We found out that the common areas of our lake community, meaning the 550-acre lake, other small parks and roadways, were already leased in 1986.
In other words, we're fracked.
The 1986 has no legal or environmental protections for us landowners or a property owners association.
I would sell.
Well, they are.
They're moving.
They're moving to...
You know, they had a PS to that note.
They were moving to Maine.
They're moving to Maine.
And I have the PS here.
One house we are really interested in has a feature I know Adam and Mickey will enjoy during the No Agenda Hot Pockets 2015 New England Tour.
The house, an 1880s farmhouse, had some bad additions, one of which is a room with an indoor sunken hot tub.
We promise to put the lid under lock and key when you visit.
Because that's how they'll kill me.
He was in the hot tub with the cover on and, well, we're sorry.
He's no more.
Ah, well, let me give these guys some karma.
They're very nice.
They basically just said, here's our house, here's our car, here's our cat, here's our fracking lake.
And they were going on vacation.
They just let us leech off their water and their power.
And, you know, Susie has that, has the garden that she makes everything herself.
Oh, that's nice.
Oh, yeah.
These people are amazing.
Here you go, guys.
It's some moving domain karma.
You've got karma.
Be careful with it.
Martin Kiernan in some place, Copenhagen, which is just a mess on my screen, but I realize it's got Ben Hovind in there, so it must be Copenhagen, which is nice.
5555, I love Copenhagen, by the way.
Very photogenic place.
5555, just a quick note to wish you both a Happy New Year from Gitmo Nation, Little Mermaid.
Haven't donated for a while due to PayPal-related issues, but trying to keep up not being a douchebag.
Good to hear that other European nations are reigning VAT, trying to reach the ridiculous 25% the slaves gladly pay here in Denmark.
They're all douchebags for voting in another socialistic government.
They have no problem raising taxes, even though they're already the highest in the world.
Keep up the good work with exposing the stupidity around the globe and keeping us sane.
Yeah, right on.
25% value-added tax.
That's outrageous, eh?
I should mention the people, if you go to Copenhagen, like from some other country, you get the tax paid back to you.
So if you go shopping in Copenhagen...
What kind of shopping did you do when you were in Copenhagen?
Clothes.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I like the minimalist style of design.
I remember you used to have shirts made with a pocket special so that you could fit a floppy disk in the pocket.
Actually bigger.
I have a shirt pattern that I made.
I have shirts made in Korea.
And I actually now have two pockets.
Two giant pockets that each will hold.
It can complete CD and the case.
Oh, a CD. I thought it was for floppies.
No, a CD and a case.
So that way when you go visit somebody's house and you see some CD that you really like, you can just put it in your shirt and boom.
They won't even notice that you stole it.
We have to stretch our incomes.
I'm thinking of making underwear with a pocket for a USB stick.
So if it was someone's house, I'd just have to slip it in there and they won't even know.
Yeah, that's for sure.
Scott Rezepka.
Yeah, he's another long-term patron of the show.
Yeah, in Villa Park, Illinois, Double Nichols on the Dime.
We're drunk and listening to the Reverend Manning whoop him with the Constitution clip and dying laughing.
Call my buddy Parthout as an ass clown because he thinks you won't say that.
Douchebag!
Ass clown.
Yeah, well, douchebag's good enough.
Justin Seats, Seats, Seats, Seats.
Seats.
Sir Justin in Pittsburgh.
Yes.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Double nickels on a dime.
Hey, citizen, wanted to give you both of you guys some more love.
Would love to hear more about Adam's opinion of Alex Jones.
Think about using some of his videos to wake people up and then propagate the formula.
I agree that with Alex, the guests are the important part.
Karma to Ron Paul from Florida and the main caucuses.
Adios, mofos.
Here's my opinion.
It remains the same.
It's the same for a lot of his videos.
When you see his guests speaking, it's highly entertaining and very interesting, and I think a lot of his guests are great, and I listen to his show regularly when he has guests on.
When he doesn't have a guest on or he's taking phone calls, no.
It's like, ugh, another commercial.
Yeah, buy gold.
Steve Whitting in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, double nickels on the dime.
Nolan Overton in Dickinson, North Dakota.
Wow.
That's the state with all the money now.
North Dakota is going to become, you can hear it here, the Alberta of the United States.
Why is that, John?
They got more oil under that state and they have both a combination of high winds which are perfect for wind farming and tons and tons of oil that nobody really wants to talk about.
They got as much oil as Saudi Arabia.
It's unbelievable.
Anyway, double nickels on the dime.
ITM gentlemen, could I get some karma for my wife and her new home business venture so I can finally be back to working one job and we can still support our five little human resources?
And up my monthly no agenda donations.
Please call out my brother Trent and friend Stuart as douchebags.
Douchebag!
They won't listen to the greatest podcasts in the universe though they have been promising to since Thanksgiving.
And if I can afford any more karma, could you provide Big C of the Bear Crawling Nation live and all the podcasters of the Bear Crawling Nation who have recently started streaming under the No Agenda stream?
Absolutely.
Karma for you guys.
Thank you so much for helping out.
We've got karma.
Elliot Gardner in York, Pennsylvania.
$54 in the morning.
Citizens, I'm donating $54 because it's the smallest number that can be written as the sum of three squares in three ways.
Magic number.
I want this donation to go toward Andrew Gardner's knighthood.
Some of the accounting has to be done here.
And give him a birthday shout-out and karma for his birthday on the 29th.
Can you do a birthday ringtone for him?
Maybe, happy birthday, slave, and a slide whistle.
I'll do Happy Birthday Slave and I'll give him the slide whistle.
I'll do Hey Citizen, Happy Birthday Slave and you do the slide whistle.
Okay, ready?
Yeah.
Ready?
Hey Citizen, Happy Birthday Slave!
Cool.
I can just see the ringtone frog being very happy now.
Colin Clayton in Edmonton, Alberta is our final donor.
$50.
My second donation is for my 35th birthday on the 29th.
Looking for some karma booster shot.
I signed up for a $5 a month plan.
As I get more entertainment out of this than I do the Netflix in Canada, which is $8 a month.
Keep up the good work.
You've got karma.
That's right.
It's the karma adjuvant.
A booster shot.
Very good.
Very, very good.
Before we finish up there, John, I got a note from Sar Bamba.
I think he sent a check to us.
Did you get this one?
Maybe.
I've been a douche too long.
Being a listener has changed my life mentally and physically.
I'm a different person from four years ago.
It's not been easy going through a no-agenda depression as I became awake, but that was only the speed bump, and I'm a better person because of my awakening.
Please accept, and this was a lower donation, but I wanted to fish it out there.
Please accept $42 as the layaway payment for episode 420's executive producer title, as well as giving Sar Bamba's Crops a dose of karma to allow me the financial latitude to reach the goal of $420.
So 420, of course, is a very important number amongst the lovers of the weedage.
And that's a good one.
We're headed there.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, that's why he's doing it.
So, since he's under the karmic level of $50, let me please just bestow karma on all weedage around Gitmo Nation.
Here you go.
Grow.
You've got karma.
Grow.
Grow.
I want to remind people they can go to NoAgendaNation.com, NoAgendaShow.com and click on the donation button or go directly to Dvorak.org slash NA and ChannelDvorak.com slash NA and help us continue our, I guess it's our job to open some people's eyes as we just heard from that last letter and I think it really does change the way people look at things and I think it improves I think when you see things a little more realistically,
even though some of this stuff is kind of far out there and it's not necessarily realistic, but at least you're open as opposed to being shut down by the media.
It's horrible.
Well, when it happens, when you do open up, and particularly when, and I think this is what most people get out of the show, is when they actually see things in the media that you're like, oh, well, this is so obvious what this is about.
That's the beauty moment, right?
That's when people just go, oh my god, this is great.
And you feel literally enlightened.
Literally enlightened.
Now, please do me a favor, and tonight, Sunday night, so watch any reality show.
I think the Kardashians are on in America.
Just watch it.
I think that if you want to watch another reality show...
Oh, is GOP, is we having a debate tonight?
No, it's the Screen Actors Guild Award.
Okay, so watch that reality show.
I think that's on TBS or some obscure station.
Good, good, good.
Watch that.
And tell me if you feel good afterwards.
Because you don't.
You feel depressed and small and puny.
But when you watch stuff from your no agenda mindset, not the SAG Awards by the way, you feel like a breath of fresh air.
And then just look at your cable bill or look at your Netflix bill or anything else you're paying for and consider giving the value of that for the value of what we're giving you.
Ten, what is it?
How many hours?
Like five hours, like 20 hours a month?
20 plus hours a month.
And the show notes, which I'm quite proud of.
Oh, they're invaluable.
And I think a lot of people, they're not utilized as much as they could be, but people who use them, I think a lot of students can get, you know, it's a real good resource.
And they're entertaining.
I'd like to point out that I think, if you look at readnoagenda.com, let me just see how they did today.
Um...
I think episode 377, which was the one that we did on Thursday, so it would be 377.readnoagenda.com.
I think it's almost fully transcribed as well.
So there's another huge bit of value.
They got a nice new look, too.
Someone did a beautiful...
Template.
Template, exactly.
Let me see.
64% transcribed so far.
Within a few days only.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
So that'll finish up today and then people can start working on 378.
It's funny, they have a little chart here waiting for audio.
But it's kind of weird when you read it, John.
When you read the transcription of our episodes.
It's like Adam Curry.
Anyone out there listening to us on the stream, please make sure we have the backup recording because you never know.
Small production note is there.
You hear the fat lady, John?
John C. Dvorak.
Do I hear what?
Adam Curry.
Adam Curry.
Do you hear the fat bitch?
John C. Dvorak.
Yeah.
That's why I was playing my slide whistle.
You didn't hear me?
Adam Curry.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, I heard you.
Maybe you're just doing that out of your own accord.
I don't know.
But then you can actually play that little snippet.
Yeah, it makes just literally the two idiots on the radio.
John C. Dvorak.
I'm crazy!
Adam Curry.
Hell yeah!
So once again, we're about 400 kilobit up, 400 kilobit down.
Well, John C. Dvorak.
Well, I can barely.
You're breaking up constantly.
This is so cool.
Adam Curry, Cinco de Mayo.
You know, in 50 years from now, someone's going to run across this somewhere on like archive.org and like, wow, those guys were crazy.
What was that all about?
Why did people listen to that?
They were insane.
While we're messaging, I do want to make a comment to the artists that do our covers.
There's a lot of them, and they're all great.
You have to note that, go to noagendashow.com, and you have to see that Adam, at least on his sites, has shrunk the cover art to such a point.
It's not...
It's a thumbnail, but it's smaller.
It's enough so smaller that you have to be careful with your lettering or it won't be readable.
Well, also, it's the size of the album art.
So when you look at it in an iPhone or in your iTunes or any player that understands album art, it's going to be smaller regardless.
Now, in the show notes, you'll notice I have a tab where I have always the full-size cover art.
John, you haven't even seen that.
Have you?
Have you even seen the new layout for the show notes?
Yeah, that's great.
Dick, you haven't looked at it.
You're a horrible man.
You're just making that up.
Go play your slide whistle.
Play us out on the birthdays.
Dvorak.org Slash N-A-N-A It's your birthday, birthday!
I'm the world champion!
Adam Johnson congratulates his godson Zachary Schendel turning five today.
Joseph Grasifo congratulates himself.
He is 42 years old.
Elliot Gardner congratulates Andrew Gardner for his birthday today.
Colin Clayton, his own congratulations, turning 35 today.
Happy birthday on behalf of all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
If we've mentioned you before, you will get a birthday card, but remember, we may not call you.
Don't be surprised if we don't call you.
Oh, you just dropped off the face of the earth.
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, two, two, two.
Well, I can't afford a new TLS 50-50.
Ah, crap.
That's because they don't make them anymore.
Hello, hello, two, two, two, two, check, two.
Mic check.
Okay, we're back.
Okay, we're back.
Ah, all right.
Let's talk about the Euroland for a minute here, John.
Always a good subject.
Yeah, something really big happened in Euroland over the weekend, which is, of course, not getting any real reporting.
In fact, we should probably pay our little Euro jingle.
The Euro.
So this was quite amazing what took place.
The Germans came out with a proposal.
And this was leaked to the Financial Times.
I say leaked with air quotes because, of course, it's meant to get out.
And did you hear about this proposal?
Yeah, I have.
What's your analysis?
Well, so the idea is that the Troika, i.e.
the IMF, the European Central Bank, and the European Commission will come in and will take over Greece's spending So that everything will be under control,
and the idea is that, this of course is all predicated on getting the next bailout of 130 billion euros, that every single penny Greece makes has to go to paying off the banks first, Before it goes to anything else.
So it's like a complete takeover of sovereignty.
They're just stealing their money.
Before you continue with this, can I just mention one thing?
Because you brought it up, or the last show or the one before, the possibility.
Because if you think about it, what's changed in Greece that makes them broke and they weren't broke a decade ago or 15 years ago?
Nothing.
It's exactly the same.
And it's as if somebody came in and cooked the books in reverse to put these guys in a bind so they could steal their stuff.
So this is what I said on the last show, is that they're blaming some guy for coming in and saying, wait a minute, you guys have like 16% debt versus GDP instead of the 7% or 8% that you said it was, and So this guy, he's being prosecuted.
His emails are being stolen.
But I think I really...
You know, do you remember Operation Paperclip, John?
Remember that?
You talked about that in the last show.
I didn't talk about Operation Paperclip.
I did not.
I thought you did.
No.
Why does it come to mind as if...
Look, I remember things.
We did not.
But I'll tell you, Operation Paperclip, after World War II, the Americans brought in a lot of Germans, scientists, etc., to beef up our science so we could build rockets and kill people with stuff.
What if, what if, what actually happened is the Nazis basically came over All the Nazis were in America.
And, you know, they're infiltrated inside the Treasury and the IMF and the World Bank.
And they all just sat there dormant, just waiting for the opportunity.
And then they send the signals back to Germany.
It's like, now we're going to do it again without killing all the Jews.
We're just going to, like, just screw everybody and steal all their shit.
Because that's what it looks like.
Well, that's what they were kind of up to in the Second World War, was stealing everybody's stuff.
Yeah, but they had to go and kill Jews and gypsies and random people.
Yeah, but they were still stealing more stuff than anything.
Well, I don't know which is worse, killing or stealing.
Well, they're both bad.
There's a scale.
But it seems like, could this maybe be just a German plot all along?
They'd just been waiting for this opportunity?
That's kind of what, I think, your buddy in Britain, the...
Nigel?
Nigel Farage?
Nigel Farage would probably buy into that assertion.
Well, it certainly seems like it.
Now, here's the official propaganda news report about Greece and this proposal.
Greek officials have rejected out of hand a German idea for Athens to cede control over its budget policy to a special Eurozone commissioner.
It comes as the government and the country's private creditors said they were finalizing a deal to slash Greece's debt, essential to secure a new bailout and avoid a default.
Both sides say the deal follows a framework put forward by Eurozone finance ministers.
However, progress could be undermined by problems with the troika of foreign lenders, the EU Commission, ECB and IMF. When you hear this report, doesn't it sound like we're in 1943?
However, problems could be with the Troika who are coming in to...
Sounds more like 1941, actually.
Hello, hello, hello to all ships at sea.
It looks like the Troika is coming in to execute the German plan.
The Germans will be taking over from the Troika.
That's not bad.
That's one of your best.
I like that.
I'll try and work on it some more.
Yeah, work on it some more.
I'll write you a script, you talk like that, and I can screw it up with Audacity.
There's some really cool filters that make it sound like it was in the 40s.
Let's get back to our report!
And are threatening to hold up aid unless more is done.
The finance minister is trying to appease both sides.
Nothing must be done that will deepen the recession, he said.
We must do everything to restrict the recession and begin the cycle of growth.
The coming days will determine the coming decade.
What's happening now is of historical significance, and we must all work together.
But Greece has balked at the German plan, which would effectively mean Athens surrendering sovereignty over tax and spending to the EU, at least until its finances are sorted out.
It looks like Greece would have to surrender to the EU and the German tricot!
Many Greeks already blame Chancellor Merkel's government for the austerity medicine they're being forced to swallow.
The European Commission has said...
Austerity medicine they are forced to swallow!
...should retain autonomy, but the German intervention suggests Berlin is running out of patience with Greece's failure to meet its targets.
Berlin is claiming running out of patience with Greece to fail to meet its targets, so the Germans will hit the targets in Greece.
I think we got the idea.
I think you missed a neuro-linguistic trick they like to use.
What's that?
In tandem, using the phrase, less more is done.
Oh, less more.
They use the less more thing.
Beautiful.
Those guys are good.
So meanwhile, Davo is on.
Davos.
Davo.
Davos.
Davos.
Which means they get to pull all these elitists out of the closet for the news channels.
What's the douchebag Pakistani guy's name?
GPS? Yeah, you're talking about the General Musharraf?
No, Fareed Zakaria's out there.
Oh, no, you are douchebags.
Yeah, of course.
Fareed Zakaria.
Oh, Fareed Zakaria, yeah.
They send, what's the, from CNBC, who used to be hot, the original money babe, what's her name?
Right, Maria Bartiromo.
Maria Bartiromo.
Yeah, yeah.
But they send...
You know, a couple of years ago, by the way, they...
I know who puts this on.
I probably could have gotten to go to this once in a while.
Oh, please.
But a couple years ago, they invited Scoble.
As a journalist.
He never got invited back because he was being Scoble the whole time.
So he would roam around with his camera.
Hi, I'm Robert Scoble.
Who are you?
And he'd stick cameras in all these rich fucks' faces all over them.
And they just got rid of it.
This guy's got to go.
We can't even control this one.
This is not a good slave.
Give me a new one.
Wow.
Yeah, that's funny.
That's funny.
Um...
No, so they send Richard over.
You know Richard?
This is the guy who used to do travel programs on CNN. He's a British guy.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that guy.
Yeah, he's very funny.
Oh, yeah.
And so he sits down with Klaus Schwab.
Now, Klaus Schwab is a chairman.
He has a chairman, and he's the organizer of Davo.
And this guy says some outrageous stuff goaded on by the idiot.
We have chosen as a title The Great Transformation.
The Great Transformation.
John, have you heard the title The Great Transformation before in history books?
What is the point?
I mean, what great transformation from what to what?
From riches to poordom, to being annihilated.
To address exactly the fundamental changes which are happening in the world, and to force people to look for new models in decision-making.
This guy is straight out of Central Casting.
You know he's from Idaho or something.
This is how the way we must talk when we organize DAVO. Capitalist models?
You see, here's just the point.
We argue in terms of capitalism.
But capitalism, in my opinion, is outdated.
It is outdated.
What is this?
By the way, this...
This meme, by the way, that capitalism is dead, we need a new form of capitalism, it's not working anymore, is everywhere.
Of course, because he said it.
Capitalism is outdated.
What is important is talent.
Capitalism was born when capital was the most important resource ever.
Today, it's talents.
Talents.
Talents.
If you have talents like blowjobs, this is now the new currency.
This is crazy.
You sound like Triumph, the insult comic dog now.
I'm all over the map.
You sound like a German guy, then you became the dog.
Wow.
But this is nuts.
But isn't this nuts?
This capitalism is outdated?
What is...
What is the deal?
We've got to get harder on this and find out where it came from because this is all over the...
I've been seeing in one of my emails from a friend of mine, who will remain nameless, saying, well, I think the conclusion we're having to draw is that state capitalism is better than free market capitalism, which is Chinese-style capitalism.
Yeah, that means like total dictatorship.
Yeah, that is horrible.
Why is anyone throwing this meme out there?
I think these presidential candidates are part of this thing.
This is a scam.
There's something up.
This is really important.
Everyone who listens to this show should be on the lookout for this meme.
Capitalism is outdated.
Capitalism is not working.
Crony capitalism is what's screwing things up.
It's got nothing to do with real free market capitalism.
Seems to be working quite well.
So anyway, back to this.
Yeah, so in Gibbon Nation Lowlands, where the media is 100% controlled by the governmental sources and the queen, of course, the symbolic queen...
So because I was in Drone Air, you have the main Dutch newspaper, the Telegraaf, every single day.
So it's funny.
It's like Donald Duck.
It's like reading a comic book.
So very interesting to read.
And all of a sudden, out of the blue, huge news.
They are going to release the guy who kidnapped Freddie Heineken like 25 years ago.
Are you familiar with that story, Freddie Heineken?
No, I didn't know Freddie Heineken was kidnapped.
The guy who was the family heir to the Heineken brewery.
Well, he wasn't the heir.
He was the one who made it.
Oh, he's the guy.
Yeah, he's now passed on.
But he was kidnapped by this guy named Holader.
And the Netherlands, Kipa Nation Lowlands, there is so much crime.
There are so many gangsters.
People are getting killed all the time.
Let's just not forget Pim Fortin, who was going to win the election.
Liquidated.
Let's not forget Theo van Gogh, the descendant of Vincent van Gogh.
And he was liquidated on the street and they tried to cut his head off.
And stuck a knife in his chest with a note.
I mean, it's a crime-ridden place.
But no one really ever wants to talk about it.
So this holader, who's been in jail all this time, they couldn't pin anything on him.
And they decide on, I think it was Wednesday or Thursday...
To release him from prison.
And the way they were doing that, because of course people want to kill him, is there was no coverage of it.
They snuck him out the back door.
They say they dropped him off somewhere in the woods.
And it was front page everywhere.
All the news.
Everyone's talking about this.
Oh my God, they released the guy.
Big news.
Full page.
Full page.
This happens on the very day.
That Wouterbos, former finance minister, and Nout Velink, former president of the Dutch Central Bank, were questioned and had to admit, which of course was not covered, this is the distraction of the week over there, that when they nationalized ABN AMRO, Lazar Bank, who they hired to do the deal, misunderstood something in the valuation.
And the Dutch taxpayers overpaid for the bailout in the region of 3 to 15 billion euros.
And they admitted this.
Yeah, well, you know, it was a mistake and stuff happens.
They admitted it.
And there was no coverage.
And all you know is that the Dutch government is now telling their people that they have to cut services and put in austerity measures in the amount of, guess what?
15 billion euros!
So the money was literally transferred to private bankers and investors By mistake?
And now they're telling people...
By the way, those kinds of mistakes don't happen.
Of course, the Lazar Bank, that's supposed to be a reputable bank.
No, they got bookkeepers.
This whole thing was a scam.
Total scam!
And they admitted it.
On the day they admitted it, they come out with this huge news about some guy.
You know, like, whatever.
Some kids like that.
They found the Lindbergh baby!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
It was just unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Luckily, one or two of our producers caught that as well.
They're like, oh, I can't believe this happened.
But wow, I was just like, it's unbelievable.
And people just don't see it, John.
They just don't see it.
Well, how can you see it when nobody...
I mean, it has to be pointed out.
Yeah.
I mean, not everybody's a 24-7 researcher.
Well, we are.
That's what we're doing all the time.
I know.
Actually, we're 48-14.
There's two of us.
48-14.
That's a new donation amount, 48-14.
That's a good number.
Yeah, but it has to be anonymous.
No, actually, if you do 48-14, I think that deserves a mention.
No, we got these rules.
So does Greece.
Meanwhile, yeah, I might as well just finish up on Euroland, just give you the rundown.
Of course, it really will be Portugal.
That is going to be the big one that's coming next.
Check these numbers out.
Wow.
Wow.
So the gross domestic product per person in Greece is $26,000 a year.
In Portugal, $21,000.
So it's even worse.
Bond yields past 7%.
They need a second bailout package.
Let's look at Spain for a second.
The numbers are staggering.
Unemployment, 22.85%.
People under 25, 51% unemployed.
Half of all people under 25 years old are unemployed in Spain.
That's half of the employable.
It doesn't include 10-year-olds.
True, of the employable, yeah, but still.
It's just startling.
And there's a report coming out.
Actually, another one from the lowlands.
Remember, the lowlands did not get a downgrade.
But people in the lowlands are getting very, very angry.
There's a report coming out that our guy there, Geert Wilders, commissioned.
They asked Lombard Street Research.
They could all be in on the game with the Nazis.
Who knows?
This could all be a setup.
But the report is, what would the economic consequence be of staying in the Eurozone versus returning to the Gilder?
This report coming out in a couple days.
This will be a very important report because, of course, everyone's going to see that if they just go back to the Gilder, they'll be richer.
They'll have a lot more money to spend.
And it wouldn't surprise me if Germany and the Netherlands were playing together, their elites, and they have quite, you know, even in the Dutch national anthem, oh, Wilhelmus van Nassau, am I of German blood?
And it's literally in the anthem.
That this whole thing was a setup to just steal all of Europe.
I'm not going to argue against the idea.
No, I know you won't.
I've never been a big fan of this thing since its inception.
Since I started in 1956, you were against it.
I was!
I just want to wind it up today.
I'm very worried for Congressman Paul.
In fact, I'm going to give him a karma shot right now.
You've got karma.
I've heard some...
Weird language before about getting rid of somebody.
But Jack Welch...
I guess Jack Welch is still seen as the...
He ran General Electric for many, many...
Well, General Electric, right?
Yeah.
For many, many years.
He was very famous as the CEO of General Electric during his era.
And then, of course, when he got out, he retired and gave the reins over to somebody else.
Basically, the board of directors...
Because he didn't want a lot of money.
He wanted a bunch of perks because he was trying to...
He could keep his taxes low and he'd like the perks, including a jet.
As soon as he got ousted, they screwed him out of everything.
He basically lost his pension, the jet, they fucked the jet, they wanted him to take the jet back.
And the guy is essentially borderline, you know, considering how rich he should be, he's essentially just getting by for it.
Do you think he really, like he's not really rich?
He's got to be loaded.
The guy's got to be loaded.
No, I really think he's dead sincere.
I don't think he's broke.
He's not broke like we are.
But he's definitely not in that league he should be in.
So he married, I don't know if it must have been his second or third wife, Susie.
For him, I mean, what a catch, right?
She's super hot.
She's smoking.
She's much younger than he is.
But they write columns together, which is disturbing.
It's one thing to have Jack Welch write a column, but we wrote this column and we look at business perspectives.
Well, he wrote a column about Ron Paul.
About how he should be exited from this whole race.
And the way he uses the term is disturbing.
This is Soledad O'Brien, who we of course know, asked him a question about this column and here's his explanation or part of it.
Well I'm not saying that.
Our column is to tie account events to business issues.
We're saying that, in our view, Ron Paul will not be a finalist in this campaign and that the GOP is going to have to exit him just as you have to exit employees.
I don't like the way that sounds, John.
The GOP will have to exit him.
Yeah, it's really bad wording.
This is making us some sort of a threat.
Yeah.
Of course, the funny side story to this, which is the soft pedal of the story, was that all four of their sons support Ron Paul.
Oh, really?
I didn't hear about that.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's funny.
The lesson here is the same one you have with employees.
When you let them go, you've got to let them go with dignity and voice.
You've got to take care of them because they're going to be suppliers, customers, friends, recommendations.
You want them as your friend.
Ron Paul is going to exit left on this stage sometime down the road before August or in August.
And the GOP doesn't want to lose those wonderful voters that he's brought on board.
So how well they treat Ron Paul going forward is a very big deal.
Just the way how you lay off employees is a very big deal.
He also doesn't sound good.
He says, we have to take care of him.
Yeah, take care of him, exit him.
I don't like any of these words.
I think they're very, very dangerous words.
Yeah.
And I'm sure he's tied into the Republican Party.
And what?
No, he is for sure.
But what's the point of this?
Does he not like Ron Paul's message?
I mean, what is it about Ron Paul that...
He's not the only guy who's done this.
There's a bunch of guys that say they've got to get him.
Some people say he shouldn't be in the party.
He's essentially...
Ron Paul boils down...
Old-fashioned republicanism is real republicanism better than any of these other guys.
Small government, no wars, low taxes, everything.
Every checklist item that you would think would be a republican item as opposed to these other guys.
I mean, let's face it, Romney, this is probably boring people overseas, but Romney and Gingrich and I would say Santorum are big government.
Let's get religion involved in the state.
High taxes, tax of war.
Let's bomb Iran no matter what.
Something's wrong with this picture.
By the way, I don't think it bores people overseas.
I was reading the telegraph again.
They have a little box with a little douchebag dude who's reporting on the American...
GOP reality show.
Little American flag next to his head.
You know, like, reporter on the scene!
And it's always the same.
I'm like, well, it's getting really personal.
You know, Newt and Mitt, they're fighting each other.
Not a single mention of Ron Paul, of course.
Not a single mention.
You know, like, they're fighting.
It's getting personal.
It's horrible.
Oh, there's politics.
Oh, there's Republicans.
Oh, they're horrible.
So I think people appreciate this type of analysis.
I disagree with you on that one.
I think it's okay.
Well, maybe.
And then we promised to look into Gitmo Nation haggis.
All I could get out of that was they got lots of oil and they want it for themselves.
Well, I got a note from one of our producers who lives there.
I'm a Scot living on the east coast of Scotland, and he says this whole thing is a setup by the Scottish Nationalist Party, who really just want to take the North Sea oil platforms, join the EU, I
did catch an interview.
Who wants to join the dying EU? I mean, this is how dumb some of these people are.
Well, these guys, of course, you know that they're all power-hungry.
All politicians are basic.
I mean, not all, but come on!
You know, you look at these guys.
We know them, John.
We know these people.
They just want to be part of the party.
They want the hookers and blow, and that's what they want.
And like, we'll deliver Scotland.
Don't forget the limos.
We'll deliver Scotland to you.
We'll deliver that in 2014.
So Scotland's first minister, Alex Salmond, I think his name is Salmond, was interviewed by Jeremy Paxman.
And this was a very funny interview.
Because Jeremy Paxman is like, he's just like slamming the guy.
Just like, you know, you suck.
This is stupid.
Are you out of your mind?
You know, you're not realistic.
And it's very funny how the guy answers him.
Well, just play it until you're sick of it, but I think you'll be laughing the whole way through.
Alex, how would an independent Scotland be different?
Well, it would be governed as the people of Scotland would wish it to be governed.
You know, raise our own taxes, decide our own spending priorities, decide whether or not to go into legal wars in Iraq.
The answer would be no, incidentally.
So, there would be very substantial differences in the nature of the policy formulation.
There are some at the present moment.
There would be a lot more if Scotland were independent.
It would also be broke, of course, wouldn't it?
It would also be broke, of course.
I like the comeback.
It keeps going.
It would also be broke, of course.
Well, you know, Independent Scotland would be the sixth most prosperous country in the head.
This, by the way, is true.
The way that if you calculate it that way, it would be the sixth most prosperous nation because of all the oil, which would be off the coast of Scotland in the North Sea.
And of course, we can't have that actually happening.
The Queen won't allow that.
But that's his whole spiel.
And Paxman just keeps on hammering the guy.
I think that's a reasonable basis to start to be an independent country.
We've got a trillion pounds worth of public debt in this country.
How much would the Scots take?
Well, the normal way to divide up debt would be either a population share or a GDP share.
How much do you want to take?
Well, that would be just over 8%.
But incidentally, we would have about 90% of a trillion pound asset in terms of oil and gas resources in the North Sea.
But the birthright of any citizen of an independent Scotland will be about £16,000 worth of debt, or would it be more than that?
Well, the assets would be much greater.
See, the difference between Scotland's position is we'd have a share...
Well, you know, you're talking about the debt that the United Kingdom has accumulated.
We'd take our share of that because we're part of the United Kingdom.
We can't do anything about the mistakes of previous chancellors that he's checking.
And you know the level of...
Public spending in Scotland the last year for which records are available.
Yes, and you also know that...
This is boring, but I want you to hear the part about...
Yeah, he's going, yeah.
There's a part about the BBC, because they have to pay for television, right?
Yeah.
Armoured train or something?
This is about the gold.
It would certainly be a lot better than the...
This is, we're going to take the gold, and Paxman says, we're going to have an armoured train, carry all that gold up to Scotland?
Nuclear trains that go to Faslade at the present moment, Jeremy.
Let's look at the politics of it.
You say that an independent Scotland would be a beacon of progressiveness.
I think I recall Robert Mugabe saying something similar about Zimbabwe.
Yeah, he never lets up.
Paxman's great when he's on a roll.
I don't think, Jeremy, you can do yourself any great favour by comparing Scotland to Zimbabwe.
I'm comparing you to Mugabe.
Okay, well, let's change the topics as we're running out of time.
I got a short clip of Don Lemon as he's going to introduce the next segment on CNN. Within the background, Christine Aguilera doing a tribute to Etta James trying to sing.
Just play this real quick.
quick it'll break the mood.
Christine Aguilera sings Etta James' signature song at last at her funeral today.
Highlights coming up after the break.
But first...
I thought it was they were killing a cat.
Yeah, I think Etta James just rolled over in her grave.
Oh my goodness.
It was unbelievable.
What happened?
They can't find a black singer that sounds a little like Etta James.
They have to bring Christina.
What happened there?
It was, I don't know.
Alright, well we'll do funny things.
Did you hear Joe Biden do an Indian accent?
Oh no!
Well, he catches himself.
He's talking about call centers and how we should have call centers in America now.
Even call centers, even call centers, was rushed overseas in the hundreds of thousands.
How many times do you get the call?
I'd like to talk to you about your credit cards.
I'd like to talk to you about your credit cards.
That's funny.
Okay, here's one.
Rainn Wilson has apparently joined some group to help the poor and help the Haitians.
Just play this clip, Odd Story About, and then catch the punchline.
But first, we want to talk about CNN Heroes.
Fans of the NBC show...
Keep going.
Comedy, The Office.
No actor, Rainn Wilson.
Yeah, of course.
Keep going.
Keep rolling.
Roll the teleprompter for me, please.
The egomaniacal Dwight Schur.
But unlike his character, Wilson is committed to helping others.
In 2007, he saw a story about one of our CNN heroes, an everyday person changing the world, and was so moved that he decided to lend a hand.
Five years later, he is still involved and inspired.
Take a look.
I was literally sitting in my trailer at the office, and I was looking at the CNN website, and they had the CNN Heroes, I think it was in the first year, and I saw this story on this guy, Aaron Jackson.
This is a young kid from Florida, grew up on a golf course, you know, didn't really have much direction in his life, and then he went traveling in the third world, and he saw poverty, and he decided to just devote his life to making the world a better place.
Today we've dewormed estimated maybe a little over 100 people.
Deworm?
Yeah.
Rain Wilson is floating around the world with his joker deworming kids apparently.
All of the Haitian kids who want to play deworming part two.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
It's been great to be able to help out Aaron Jackson in planting peace by doing some fundraisers.
I've gotten to introduce him to people and help raise money and just help his organization really get moving.
He's the amazing guy who's doing all the really hard work and, you know, give him the cash and just let him go do what he does best.
They have four or five orphanages in Haiti, and I also went out when they distributed the deworming medication out in the rural villages and towns.
You're distributing food, aid, all around the country.
So many kids can You know, eating their fill, but because they're so filled with worms, they're unable to digest and process that food, so it's really just kind of a waste.
You deworm a kid and the worms shoot out within usually 24 to 48 hours.
How come Bill Gates is not on top of this?
How come he is not spending hundreds of millions of dollars deworming the poor people of Haiti?
And that's a hero.
Oh, how low can you go?
Office.
I'm never going to watch that show again.
Oh, man.
Oh, boy.
If you want to play some end of show, I do have a couple of kind of funny stories about the history of the Glock gun.
But we can save that.
Why don't you save that one?
Why don't we part with some Al Sharpton?
You have Al Sharpton?
I got a little Al Sharpton.
How long is it?
Should it be end of show or just now?
Well, I think it's now because it's just funny to laugh about.
This is Al Sharpton playing the race card.
And he's got some douchebag friend of his he brings on saying that everyone's racist.
Now, we knew this was going to happen in this campaign.
So Sharpton, of course...
And why does Sharpton have a job on MSNBC? Well, to do this.
Let's get to the picture everyone's talking about.
This picture.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer pointing her finger right at the President of the United States, President Obama, just moments after he landed in Arizona yesterday.
Their heated exchange was reportedly centered around her portrayal of the President in a meeting two years ago as condescending.
According to reports, they were talking at the same time over each other.
I don't care what differences you have.
The pointing is unacceptable.
The pointing is unacceptable.
Why?
It's unacceptable.
Listen, why?
Disrespectful.
Disrespectful.
But she's not apologizing.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Why should she?
Roll with the videotape.
He's very thin-skinned.
I thought that he was pretty thin-skinned.
He walked away.
I was in the middle.
Now you notice what's going on here?
Pointing, thin-skinned.
You know where this is leading, right?
I wasn't angry at all.
I felt a little bit threatened, if you will, in the attitude that he had because I was there to welcome him.
Finskin?
You felt threatened?
What does that even mean, you felt threatened?
Well, because the president likes to drone people, douche.
By the president of the United States?
This is yet another example of disrespect and delegitimizing this president.
You're a governor.
If you want to invite the president somewhere, you're talking to him.
The only reason you'd bring a letter is to dramatize and confront.
Now, that's the setup.
Now he brings in this guy from Sirius XM to hammer it home, and it's really, really bad.
Joining me now is Joe Madison, host of the Mornings with Madison on Sirius XM Radio.
Joe, what do you make of Brewer's disrespect?
This is nothing more, and I'll just say it straight up.
There are some people, not all, in this country who cannot stand the fact...
That this is an African American who is now one of the most powerful individuals on the planet.
And there are those who cannot consciously and subconsciously handle it.
I know people don't want to hear that, but that's the truth.
And so you delegitimize it.
You know you're not going to get a debate from me.
They brought race in.
They put a race deck on the table.
If you pull a card, it's a race card because they set the deck.
I'm talking about those on the other side of this argument.
That's pretty outrageous.
Wow.
I mean, they brought him in.
Really?
Who brought that in?
Where did that come from?
I have no idea.
Hmm.
All right.
The guy is a douchebag.
Oh, yes.
Reminder, on the No Agenda stream coming right up after this program goes off the air, which is just minutes away, there will be a No Agenda Producer update and a No Agenda Producer, obviously, a new live episode of Inside the Podcaster Studio, and they'll actually be talking on the No Agenda Producer update on the stream.
Kind of interesting stuff, which I'm following, is about the DigiNotar certificate authorities, which have been compromised, So basically Google and Microsoft, and your tech press is not talking about this, but a lot has been compromised for many, many months, and they've got some information on that.
What else?
Oh, I've got to tell you something funny as we get out of here.
So you heard about that Twitter is now going to censor tweets in certain countries?
Yes, I wrote a column about this.
I think I may have actually defended the practice.
So the way it will happen is the tweet will show up and it'll say, this tweet from at username has been withheld in your country.

So I sent out a tweet.
I tweeted myself and said, this tweet from Adam Curry has been withheld in your country.

And I must have gotten a thousand people saying, hey man, Twitter's censoring you.
Yeah, I saw that tweet.
Yeah.
And it made no sense.
So you should call yourself out as a douchebag for pulling that trick.

That was funny.
It was.

Well, I think you need to decentralize and get your own shit.
Stop relying on Twitter and Facebook and Google and all this stuff.
I don't use Facebook.

Yeah, that's a bad sign.
You might want to consider using something else.

Gopher worked fine.
Get the old code for webcrawler and just do it yourself.
Gopher worked great.
I loved Gopher.
