	I'm gonna roofie you!
	Roofie you!
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	Yeah, it's Thursday, February 2nd, 2012.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 379-er.
	This is No Agenda.
	Tracking the unidentified meteors here in the capital of the drone star state of Camp MoFo in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And tracking the Baltic Dry Index, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crack Vaughn and Buzzkill in the morning.
	And there you have it.
	That's why the show works so well.
	I'm tracking the meteors.
	You're tracking the Baltic Dry Index.
	That's hot, by the way.
	Does that work on chicks in the barn?
	It hasn't so far.
	Wow.
	Hey, in the morning to you, Johnny Boy.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry, and in the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground and feet in the air.
	And aliens in the motherships flying over Texas.
	We know what the real story is.
	In the morning to everybody in the chat room.
	NoagendaStream.com, NoagendaChat.net.
	Good to see everybody here.
	We think we have a quorum.
	Let me...
	Check and see.
	Of course, we do the program live on Thursday and Sunday mornings at 9 a.m.
	PST. And I'll be honest with you, John, and I'm just going to say it now, we don't have meetings, we never talk outside of the program, so I'm just going to lay it out there and I'll let it go.
	If donations are like this, I would suggest going back to one show a week.
	Yeah, I'm not kidding.
	Well, I'm actually stunned that we didn't do better on the longer lag time, which is Thursday's show.
	Yeah, which means Sunday's going to be...
	No, it's horrible.
	We could do one show a week.
	That's not a problem.
	I mean, I have to now seriously consider getting some other gig somewhere, doing something.
	Well, why don't we start off with giving our one executive producer a shout-out.
	Okay, let's do that.
	Get on with our information.
	Okay.
	Mainly because I have the spreadsheet.
	And of course, it's not an American, it's not a Canadian, it's not an Australian.
	All these people seem to have dried up.
	It's a Dutchman who comes in as our...
	From a town I'll never pronounce in a million years, Eggstat.
	Very close!
	Try Oostgeist.
	It's not, but I like the egg stat.
	That's good.
	Uxtreist.
	Uxtreist is how you pronounce it.
	Uxtreist.
	I think somehow an extraneous G got in there.
	It should be O-E-S-T-G-E-E-S-T, I think.
	I don't know what the...
	That's what it says.
	O-E-G-S-T-G-E-E-S-T. I think it should be O-E-S-T. I don't know how the G got in there.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, that's what confused me.
	Lucas Taima is the way I pronounce it.
	No.
	Try Lucas Taima.
	Taima.
	Taima.
	There you go.
	Taima.
	Well, thank you very much to our one associate executive producer.
	No, he's an executive producer.
	Oh, that's right.
	He comes in at the top.
	Over $200.
	He comes in at the top.
	You know, the first guy, and that's him.
	Here's some love, some very entertaining shows lately, which are very much appreciated.
	I guess that's the only truth they get to the area because of the EU's clampdown.
	And he says, keep up the good work.
	We do good work.
	We do.
	But if people don't see the value and don't want to contribute value, then fine.
	I'm happy to go back to one show a week and find something else to do.
	Because it's not like I'm working half as hard.
	Right.
	Alright, so I'll stop complaining.
	That will be it for the complaining portion of the show, but...
	We got more complaining later.
	Yeah, screw it.
	Let's complain more later.
	That's a good idea.
	So, big news here, John, in the Drone Star State.
	Besides that, I want to mention to people, they could help us by going to noagendashow.com, dvork.org.
	Just a thought, yes.
	ChannelOfWork.com slash NA and showing us that they're actually listening to the show.
	And we're also getting, I want to remind people that there is a huge fall off this time of year.
	Oh, with the PayPal automatic system donations.
	In the automatic systems because people get their new credit cards or whatever and they just get kicked right off of PayPal.
	There's no follow up.
	Have we seen this?
	And they think that they're donating and they're not.
	Have we seen this before?
	Have we seen this in previous years?
	We're doing this now.
	This is our fifth year, is it not, John?
	We've always had a crummy January.
	No, no, no.
	Never this crummy.
	This is bad.
	No, this is pretty bad.
	This is worse than last year.
	We're making less money doing this show than we did in terms of donations last year.
	So there you have it.
	Yeah.
	But I'm also reminding people, just go to your bank and set up a time payment plan as opposed to working through PayPal.
	Because we had two accounts.
	We had the old account when we started the show, and then I had to move it over to a No Agenda account, which is easier, so I don't have these funds mixed up with my stuff.
	And so I moved it over.
	So there's all the old, like, old, old subscriptions are still in that old account.
	They keep cropping in.
	That account is almost dead.
	I just got news from the chat room.
	Our problem is Goldman Sachs is now shorting no agenda.
	That's the problem.
	We're in a short squeeze.
	But we will be talking about our value-for-value model later on in the program.
	And before we move on, I do want to thank a couple of producers who are helping us in other ways other than monetary means.
	And, of course, we know it's a crisis.
	It's not easy.
	But if every single person at least put up a buck a show, then you wouldn't be hearing this negativity coming out of my pie hole.
	First of all, I want to thank everyone who's working on the fanscribing of the No Agenda podcast.
	Oh, yeah, that's pretty cool.
	Currently, 378.readnoagenda.com is 83% fanscribed, so we're getting very close to having that.
	It looks like it could happen for every single episode, but actually, it'll be good.
	We go back to one, and people will have a whole week to do it.
	So we'll get more bang for the buck there, but we do highly appreciate everyone who's doing that because it helps for research.
	We get indexed.
	There's a lot of good reasons to do that.
	And, of course, there's a lot of people out there who can only read and can't hear.
	Yeah, right.
	That's true.
	And they're probably like...
	Hold on.
	Don't move on.
	I got more.
	I got more PR stuff.
	Keep going.
	Remember Bill Edelman?
	Will?
	Bill?
	William?
	He's one of our producers who called in to the Shannon Burke show and tried to promote us and he stumbled all over his scripts and stuff.
	Yes, we need better actors.
	Well, he's back.
	He's back and he says, look, I got my script and I'm really trying it.
	But it's listening to this guy, this radio host, shows you exactly what's wrong with mainstream programming.
	Like Scott Legend, Dangerous Conversation.
	I do listen to Scott Legend, Dangerous Conversation.
	I also think you need to listen to the No Agenda podcast with Adam Curry and John C. DeVos.
	Listen to the guy go, ugh.
	This guy groaned.
	Who is this guy?
	Shannon Burke in the morning, everybody.
	They want C-SPAN for you.
	They'll analyze the news stories.
	Oh, you're right.
	Yeah, that's a good idea.
	I should spend some of my time talking about fucking C-SPAN. Hey!
	No, this is the show!
	Yeah, dude!
	No, I'm not talking about it.
	That way you'll see the scam of the media.
	Okay.
	How they manipulate you.
	I am the media, Bill.
	Right.
	I'm scamming you right now!
	No, no, no, you're not.
	You're a very smart man, and that's why I'm telling you this, because I think if you really listen to the Ledge and listen to the No Agenda podcast, that you start seeing these patterns that they talk about.
	Okay.
	And it took Bill, whether or not you know it, I'm a very, very well, highly educated man, highly degreed, and a very, very douchebag.
	Highly educated.
	Good job, Bill.
	I like it when they irritate other hosts.
	That's good.
	Oh, that's better.
	That's what Howard Stern made a living out of.
	But I can't believe the guy keeps him on.
	This is really good.
	He just keeps on irking him.
	He listens to C-SPAN. So he's obviously heard the show.
	Of course.
	He thinks we listen to C-SPAN too much and get the scoop.
	Yeah, what an idiot.
	But he's a highly educated man.
	He doesn't need anything like this.
	Okay, well.
	A few domain name forwards as our database continues to grow.
	WhyBecause.ca is very good.
	And we'll have some WhyBecause stuff coming up later.
	Now that we've been tipped off to this neuro-linguistic programming that we first noticed with Rick Santorum, this is really interesting how it's being used when you say, WhyBecause?
	And then it's just like, What?
	It's like, We don't have enough donations.
	WhyBecause?
	We need you to donate.
	Also, ethicaladultentertainment.com, now forwarding to the noagendashow.com website.
	Very good.
	I think we are ethicaladultentertainment.
	And becausegivingisloving.com, along with an idea, and this is actually something that we should talk about later on.
	One of our producers suggested...
	There's a great opportunity to have people donate $214 or some variation of it for Valentine's Day.
	Oh, yeah.
	Because nothing says I love you more than a donation to the No Agenda Show.
	Why?
	Because donating is loving.
	So I think that's...
	We'll chat more about that a little bit later on.
	And of course, you can always do one thing.
	We all need you to go out and propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out...
	We hit people in the mouth.
	Real.
	World.
	Hold on.
	Shut up, slave.
	Before we get into anything substantive, is that too many T's in there?
	I don't know.
	I spent some time this week listening to current TV. Because Olbermann quit.
	He's out?
	He's done?
	He's out?
	He seems to have walked off.
	But the show's still on.
	All right.
	And Kermit the Frog is doing the show.
	Now, I have a clip from that later.
	But they also brought over some other guys from MSNBC who could not get any numbers at all.
	So wisely, they brought them over to...
	Yeah, Chunk.
	The Chunk guy.
	Chunk guy.
	Yeah, Chunk the Young Turk show.
	So I got him.
	I caught him.
	It's a terrible show, and it looks like it's produced over at Rev 3, to be honest about it.
	I think Rev 3 is produced better than current.
	It's quite possible.
	It's a very cheap production.
	It has cheap written all over it.
	But I caught him and I had to listen to this over and over again.
	So I got the clip of him actually saying Booger T. Washington.
	And I thought, you know, the show numbers are down, and maybe people are looking more for this sort of material.
	Well, Chunk said this?
	Chunk said Booger T, and so I have the clip of him saying it, and then I have it, I reclipped just the Booger part, so you could hear that it was Booger, because you could almost maybe said Booger T, but no, there's no K in there, it's Booger.
	So he said Booger T, Washington, and I thought it was abhorrent.
	Can I just say one thing?
	You have way too much time on your hands.
	Obviously, it was a tragic story of his apparent suicide this morning.
	So, things about, we might as well start off the month with Don Cornelius, who was the creator.
	You're not playing the Booger T. Washington clip.
	You told me to play, oh, I thought there was a long one first, and then Booger T. Booger T is 14 seconds?
	Back on the Young Turks.
	Well, this morning we were talking with J.R. Jackson, who's our long-time producer, and he was saying, you know, every network and station covers Black History Month in the same way.
	You find out about Booger T. Washington in, like, little snippets, etc.
	Booger, booger, booger, booger.
	Okay, I understand.
	I misunderstood what you were doing.
	Booger, booger, booger.
	Yeah, that's a way to celebrate Black History Month, alright?
	Call the guy Booger T. Yeah.
	Hey, Booger T. I thought it was insulting to all black people.
	It was insulting to me, Booger T. Washington.
	Are you kidding me, Chunk?
	Oh, my goodness.
	And when you're saying his name, that's not what you're going to slur.
	You don't do that.
	No, it's Booger T. Washington.
	You say Booker.
	It's not hard to say Booker.
	Booger.
	So the guy's never held an album cover in his hand by Booker T. Washington in his life.
	That's obvious.
	Yeah, that's what it is.
	Speaking of albums, I figured out a great promotion that's taking place right now.
	This is a two-parter.
	So we had an apparent meteorite crash into the Austin area the other night.
	Did you not hear about this?
	No.
	You think I would?
	You think somebody would have Twittered me or emailed me?
	No.
	It's a big deal.
	It's a big deal.
	Did they miss?
	They didn't hit the house.
	So there's all kinds of video of this.
	There's video from dash cams, from cop cars.
	There's a satellite imagery of it.
	And of course, it's not...
	A meteorite, when you look at it, it's like way too bright, way too low.
	It's either a drone flaming out, which probably is a real possibility, or the mothership is sending off little baby ships.
	But this is a two-parter, and there's a PR promotion in here, which it took me to listen to it twice to figure it out.
	As, by the way, the people who now do reports on meteorites crashing into Texas are apparently weathermen.
	They're now the experts on, they can't get a space guy anymore.
	Let Dan the Weatherman do the report.
	So here's these two douchebag idiots on CNN, these two women who yap in the morning.
	You probably didn't see it up in the northeast, the northwest, but if you were in Texas or Oklahoma, what on earth was that streaking across the night sky in those states?
	Check out the video from the police dash cam.
	I was going to sing some crazy song, but listen, it was a routine traffic stop that caught this, but the FAA is now weighing in on what that is.
	It is a meteor.
	So now the FAA all of a sudden, they're weighing in there, the experts?
	It wasn't a drone or anything, it was a meteor, because we're the FAA. They're not authorized to make this call.
	The actual meteor.
	The reports came as far south as Waco, Texas, and as far north as Oklahoma City, of people saying, yikes!
	Yikes!
	By the way, neither Mickey nor I saw, because apparently it made a boom as well.
	It made a booming sound.
	And we didn't hear it because...
	Well, you were further south than Waco.
	Not much.
	A couple of people in the area heard it.
	We were drunk, so that's why we didn't, you know.
	Maybe it was us.
	What?
	Did you fart?
	Hold on.
	It's so much more fun to say it was a UFO. It's so much more fun to say it was a UFO. Let's just rule that out, okay?
	Because the FAA says so.
	Rob Marciano is in Atlanta with the national weather forecast.
	Now listen to this, because here's the PR moment.
	Get ready for it.
	Did you see it, Rob?
	No, but that's striking video.
	It definitely looks more like a UFO that has a fireball around here, but I'll take FAA's word on that.
	Sure, the FAA, the experts on UFOs.
	Yeah, it's not a UFO, it's a meteorite.
	Another picture from space, actually.
	The dark side of the moon.
	Check this out.
	Ebb and flow.
	It's a twin satellite project of GRAIL that's orbiting the moon right now.
	It takes some of the images that we don't see down here because we only see, well, the lit side of the moon that faces us.
	This, the dark side, the elusive one.
	The dark side of the moon.
	What could that mean, John?
	The dark side of the moon.
	Well, I have a clip.
	Oh, boy.
	You didn't...
	Oh, boy.
	All right.
	I don't get the clip you're getting.
	I just got a clip.
	I have a different angle on this, but go on.
	No, no.
	I want to hear your angle, then I'll tell you what it's really all about.
	Well, I don't have an angle, except that I think that there's something going on about how dumb they think the public is, because this is Shepard Smith.
	Oh, no.
	Who says, for one thing, he says, little green men have landed, and he says, I'm just kidding.
	And then he explains the dark side of the moon as if no one has been to the third grade.
	And we're getting a rare glimpse of the far side of the moon.
	We found the little green men.
	Not really.
	Today NASA released this video shot from a spacecraft out there somewhere.
	Scientists say the moon is tidally locked, meaning one side always faces Earth, so we rarely get to see the dark side, the dark side of the moon.
	Yeah, okay.
	So Pink Floyd is re-releasing...
	Their album remastered, including Dark Side of the Moon.
	This is like so obvious.
	This was like an obvious one.
	All I had to do was one Google search and boom, I'm there.
	It's doing a re-release.
	That's why this is PR. And I know what happened on this.
	Shepard Smith first said, you know, the far side.
	And then the producer went, hey, we're not going to get paid if you don't say dark side.
	Oh yeah, right.
	It's the dark side of the moon.
	And it's not dark.
	How is it the dark side when it was lit up and they showed a picture of it?
	Hello?
	Because it's not.
	Because it's PR for the Floyd re-release.
	Yeah, obviously.
	It's so easy.
	This stuff is so easy.
	It's unbelievable to me that they would run that piece at all.
	They could pay for it, John!
	I know what you're saying.
	And there's probably a connection, too, between either product placement...
	Which I think they're starting to drop in news items now constantly.
	Especially the people in the music and the entertainment business.
	They're the ones who are the sleaziest of the whole crowd.
	Exactly.
	I have that Shepard Smith clip now, since we're talking about him.
	The one that...
	Because there's more PR going on.
	This is the one I didn't have on Sunday's broadcast.
	From Fox this Wednesday night, Seal Team 6 has done it again.
	Last night, officials say a team of Seals, not the ones who captured Osama Bin Laden...
	Captured?
	Captured or killed?
	I know you've been scrounging to get that one.
	So I got that clip.
	And of course, it was so easy to figure out.
	This is another promotion.
	For the SEAL Team 6 movie that's coming out.
	The trailer's everywhere.
	Yeah.
	The Valor movie, whatever it's called.
	Fox is the worst at this.
	I mean, I... They need to get less obvious about it, really.
	And by the way, there is no such thing called Team SEAL 6.
	That is a fictitious name.
	That is not the actual name of this outfit.
	That's a movie name.
	And now they've got this, you know, you see the trailers and the making of, it's everywhere.
	It's coming out in like two weeks or whatever.
	This is all PR, ladies and gentlemen.
	This has nothing to do...
	It's not news.
	No, and since we still haven't seen this woman...
	And the Shepard Smith piece about the dark side of the moon, he says, he doesn't even bother telling you what kind of a spaceship.
	He says, some spaceship out there.
	If you listen to it, he doesn't even, there are no details.
	It's like apparently some random spaceship that's just roaming around.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that would actually be news.
	Random.
	To have some facts.
	Just some thing that's out there.
	We don't know who owns it or whatever.
	Maybe George Clooney's flying it.
	Yeah, that's possible.
	That is ridiculous.
	But the movie industry and politics and news is so intertwined these days.
	A great example from Australia.
	There's a member of parliament there.
	Let me get his name.
	Anthony Albanese.
	Let me just see.
	Hold on a second.
	He is...
	This is for our Australian listeners.
	We'll get a kick out of this.
	He serves as the leader of the House of Representatives and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport in the Gillard Ministry.
	And he's been there since March 1996.
	So he gives a speech.
	And you're going to hear this exact same speech right after he's done.
	This is like a piece of his speech, like 20 seconds.
	And you'll hear the...
	I'm not going to give it away, but you'll hear the exact same speech by someone else right after it.
	In Australia, we have serious challenges to solve, and we need serious people to solve them.
	Unfortunately, Tony Abbott is not the least bit interested in fixing anything.
	He's only interested in two things, making Australians afraid of it and telling them who's to blame for it.
	We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them.
	And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you, Bob Rumson is not the least bit interested in solving it.
	He is interested in two things, and two things only, making you afraid of it and telling you who's to blame for it.
	Michael Douglas in The American President.
	The exact same speech.
	Which one came first?
	What's the dates?
	Oh, the American president is a long time ago.
	Oh, so they just basically stole it from a movie?
	Yes!
	This Australian guy?
	Yeah!
	How embarrassing.
	It's hilarious.
	I wonder how much material they lift from movies thinking no one's going to notice.
	Well, no one watched this movie.
	So, I mean...
	Well, I guess you find a movie nobody watches and you got it made.
	I watched it, I have to say.
	I like the movie.
	But, yeah.
	Wasn't that the one where he dies and then...
	Sarah Susan Sarandon.
	I never saw the movie.
	Yeah, I did.
	It was a good movie.
	I like Michael Douglas.
	Yeah, he always chooses his movies well.
	Yeah, but then to have that lifted...
	I mean, why don't we just have Michael Douglas just get an Australian accent and he can be the politician?
	Oh, wait a minute.
	We already do that here.
	I'm sorry.
	We already have actors as politicians.
	Crazy.
	Just crazy.
	So we had...
	I'm so tired of the X Factor, of the contest, as it's now being called continuously on all the news channels.
	This contest!
	And now it actually is turning into an X Factor American Idol where we've got people singing!
	And we've got the contestants singing in this thing, John.
	We've got Obama singing.
	We've got Mitt Romney singing.
	We've got people joking about Newt Gingrich should sing.
	And could it get any more obvious what's going on here?
	Yeah, just let him sing.
	Screw it.
	Yeah, it's pretty bad.
	It's horrible.
	And there's no real analysis.
	That was actually kind of interesting.
	What's his name?
	Soros.
	I'm George Soros.
	Once I heard him, I'm really working on trying to perfect my Soros voice.
	Hold on a second.
	Where is he?
	Soros.
	You can also make that same voice, because I saw him on Book TV this last week, Zabrinsky.
	Oh, Zabigniew Brzezinski, yeah.
	He's got the same voice.
	You never see those two guys in the same picture, actually.
	No, think about it.
	So here's George Soros.
	No, no, you sound like triumphed insult comic dog again.
	Here is George Soros.
	Here is George Soros.
	This is Aymin Davo and I'm talking about Obama and Romney.
	It comes in.
	It comes in.
	There we go.
	I got it now.
	To poop on.
	To poop on.
	If it's between Obama and Romney, there isn't all that much difference.
	I love this clip.
	There isn't all that much difference.
	But what is the difference then, Soros?
	Except for the crowd that they bring with them.
	Different bankers.
	Romney would have to take Gingrich or Santorum as a vice president and...
	Now listen to this.
	Listen very carefully.
	...probably have some pretty extreme candidates for the Supreme Court.
	So that's the downside.
	On the other side, the Obama administration is a bit exhausted, so it's not all that strong.
	So it won't be that great a difference, and I think there won't be a great deal of enthusiasm on either side of the battleground.
	It will be more civilized than the previous elections.
	There you go.
	So Soros is just basically calling it.
	It's just going to be Romney.
	We all know it.
	Romney and Santorum, he says, which is kind of interesting.
	Or Gingrich.
	He says, or Gingrich.
	Well, Gingrich is never going to be a VP. In fact, Gingrich is not going to show up anywhere near the White House, according to this woman.
	When I never thought about this, she claims that there's like a secret society of, well, she didn't quite say it that way, but that's why I interpreted it, of first wives.
	And they're not going to let Calista anywhere near the White House because she's a horrible third wife and it's just bad by nature.
	Play Haters Be Hatin'.
	I have to say, she's rather frightening.
	She's freaky, yeah.
	Alright, Haters Be Hatin'.
	Here we go.
	Well, I think it's about time for the Republicans to shove it back down their throat.
	Why didn't the media, Susan, talk about John Kerry only paying 13.1 in income tax?
	That's all he paid.
	I think, and I can't even leave Newt Gingrich.
	You just wait.
	It's not over yet.
	Wait until the First Wives Club gets involved.
	They're not going to let Calissa Gingrich be a first lady.
	We've never had that in our life, and we don't want that stain on the Republican Party.
	Thank you.
	We're going to stop there.
	Jennifer Collin from Mesa, Arizona, and the last word.
	Well, that was on C-SPAN, on the call-in show.
	Yeah.
	Where is everybody calling in on that show and saying no agenda?
	Come on, people.
	I had no idea.
	I don't think anybody but us watches C-SPAN. I don't think half the people that listen to our show even know what we're talking about when you say C-SPAN. They're like...
	I don't know.
	They're watching something.
	Maybe it's over in France.
	What is that C-SPAN they keep referring to?
	It must be in France.
	Debbie Wasserman Schultz goes on...
	Oh, this woman is the most annoying woman in the whole administration.
	Now, she's in charge of the Democratic National Committee.
	Yeah.
	She's a bigwig.
	Is she a congresswoman, I think?
	Yeah.
	She's from Florida, I think.
	I could be wrong.
	But she really lays it out, and it's obvious why she's on Rachel Maddow's show.
	We know Rachel Maddow is the biggest money whore there is when it comes to this, because I've really been paying attention ever since you pointed out on the past show or two, but how much money is really being shoved into the media From all of these super PACs and all these commercials and advertisements.
	And she basically lays it out.
	And I think she is correct, although she should be careful because this is exactly how they do it, too.
	Well, I think they've probably got a ways to go before there's a clear nominee.
	You know, what Mitt Romney did tonight was essentially buy the Republican primary victory that he got.
	13,000 ads to 200 ads for Newt Gingrich.
	Only about.1% of those ads were positive.
	I mean, he really carpet-bombed Newt Gingrich.
	And so all that says is that he drowned him in negative advertising.
	And so as the race progresses, I think it will continue to be clear that there is a dramatic contrast between Mitt Romney and the Republican field.
	So there it is.
	He spent about nine million dollars.
	What's interesting, though, is I rarely see the ads as ads.
	Where do I see the ads?
	When CNN or Fox News shows them and says, look at this latest negative attack ad!
	This is such a scam.
	This whole thing is all about money flowing into the media companies.
	The more you have, the more they feature you, the more they talk about you, the more you get on the air with them.
	It's just sad.
	It's a total scam.
	Yeah, it really is.
	That's the scam we should be involved in.
	Well...
	We should have a small media company just to do nothing but take political ad money.
	Just scam.
	Just scam.
	Let's just do a scam.
	You know?
	Hey, yeah, you know, we think it's...
	We'll give...
	Who's we going to give...
	I don't know who we're going to give our endorsement to.
	I'm seeing a lot of that now.
	You see, that's kind of a meme.
	And why the hell...
	I'm not going to endorse him yet.
	And why the hell is Herman Cain on television all of a sudden again?
	And he has a big smiling piehole.
	And he comes on, he endorses Gingrich.
	But no one says, hey, by the way, how's that philandering working out for you that made you drop out of the race?
	Now he's just become a clown.
	An official clown.
	He was a clown, but now it's official.
	And Sarah Palin.
	My goodness, look at the woman's face.
	Did she get her chip implanted?
	Has MKUltra finally kicked in?
	This woman is really a robot now.
	And I've defended Sarah Taylor.
	I think she had some work done.
	That's why she was off the radar for so long.
	Oh, that's possible.
	It takes about two months to get them bruises.
	Oh, no, that's not true.
	Bullcrap.
	My ex-wife had work done.
	I shall refrain from explaining.
	The doctor would always say, you'll have some bruising for a couple of weeks, and then it'll be fine.
	Three months minimum on anything you do.
	It's three months.
	It just takes three months.
	It's not two weeks.
	Well, it's been about three months since we've seen Palin.
	Interesting.
	We should take...
	Something's weird about her face.
	Yeah, they pulled it back, and she's got that stupid lift look, which is going to end up making her look weird.
	She looks surprised.
	With a kind of a slash mouth.
	Yeah, she looks surprised.
	Surprised the whole time.
	Yeah, and you look surprised, especially in the early days, and it sags back down a little bit, so you look normal for a very short time.
	And then, you know, oh God, this needs to be redone, because you have to do, I think, I forget what the cycle is.
	I think the first lift lasts like seven years, or it used to be 14, then seven, then three and a half, then every year.
	So you'd have to start getting work done every year.
	No, no.
	That's not how it works.
	What happens is you get the first work done, and then you're like, well, wait a minute.
	Now my ears don't match my forehead.
	Oh, then the bags on the eyes are gone, but now I've got little things above the eye.
	And it just keeps on going.
	And it's like if you're modeling someone's face out of clay.
	It's like a nightmare.
	There you go.
	20 years of my life.
	What can I tell you?
	Okay, well, you're going to speak from experience.
	I'm only speaking from theory.
	And all I know is that you're not supposed to have a facelift done until your first facelift.
	If you're ever going to do one, this is a recommendation for everyone.
	You should be 92 years old.
	Hey, citizen.
	92.
	I'm going to schedule it now.
	Yeah.
	Thank you, too.
	You'll be looking good for a while.
	I'll look great.
	You'll look great in the coffin.
	So, um...
	Oh, thanks, dude.
	Uh, well, it depends how long you go.
	I mean, if the first one lasts a decade and you go to 102, you're still looking good.
	You know, something's okay.
	Okay, that makes sense.
	Because, yeah, you get it done and then it's something that's not quite right.
	And, of course, the business itself is designed to get you to keep doing it.
	Of course, yeah.
	So they never do it right.
	You have to keep fixing it.
	Megyn Kelly from Fox is going to go next.
	You think?
	Oh, definitely.
	She's already...
	I mean, I know this so well.
	First of all, I grew up with women.
	Second of all, I have all this experience.
	First, they starve themselves.
	Megyn Kelly is now starving herself.
	And the only one who's really doing it properly, actually, is Erin Burnett.
	But she can't stand up.
	Again, people, we're talking as television executives here, not as men who would be rude to women.
	Not as sensitive males.
	No, not as a bi-curious male.
	But yeah, no, you watch.
	She's going to go on hiatus for a couple of months and she's going to come back and have all kinds of work done because it's an obsession.
	It is an absolute obsession.
	I've seen it time and time again.
	You'll see.
	The only one who's not going to do anything and is over that hump and is doing it well is Candy Crowley.
	Oh, please.
	It's ridiculous.
	She's like giving up on herself.
	But that's okay.
	And by the way...
	Yeah, she's beautiful for that very reason.
	She's normal.
	From a healthy perspective, Candy Crowley, who just looks like hell.
	Seriously.
	From an executive perspective.
	No, no, but she appeals to a huge demographic of real women.
	Yeah, we're not going to put themselves through this agony.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, no, the thing is, is you're going to get this, and I wouldn't, Palin is, you know, she's an old bathing beauty.
	She was a, you know, she was a competitive.
	She was very sexy when she was young.
	She was very sexy.
	And I thought she was sexy four years ago.
	And I was watching her somewhere.
	It must have been on Fox, obviously.
	And I was like, oh my gosh, she just looks like crap.
	And she looks tired.
	Yeah, it's just not good.
	Not that her eyes look tired, but just tired of...
	It could be tiring having everything pulled back tight.
	Anyway, who gives a crap?
	Dianne Feinstein.
	Let's talk about her for a second.
	I've been tracking Dianne Feinstein.
	Ever since the White House Insider and the Wall Street Insider and ever since we actually found out that she popped the Osama Bin Laden capture or kill hours before the president announced it on television after apparently the Democrats had one of their biggest financial consultants go rogue.
	They had him killed.
	We've been talking about this because that guy probably found out that there are two Obamas or something, but he had information.
	And so they've been messing with Feinstein.
	They stole her campaign fund money.
	And I don't know if you had time to watch it.
	I'm only through half of it at this point.
	But they had the security council meeting, the security committee meeting.
	Which Feinstein, of course, she's the chair of it, so she's big buona.
	And we've talked about the CIA being in a war with Obama, and she comes out in her opening statement, John.
	I was blown away by this.
	There are a couple of things I want to add, and I'm not sure this is a good place, but I'm going to do it anyway.
	In this morning's edition of the Los Angeles Times, there was an article asserting that CIA Director David Petraeus has been inaccessible and guarded in his interactions with Congress, and with the intelligence committees in particular, since being sworn in last September.
	As far as I'm concerned, nothing could be farther So, right off the bat there, that's very interesting, because the Washington Post is, of course, corrupt, and they took, you know, sources...
	And they basically said, ah, you know, this guy's not, you know, Petraeus, ah, he's not there, you know, the CIA is crap.
	Did she say the Washington Post?
	Yes, she said the Washington Post.
	Can you play it again?
	Because I'm wondering why I heard the Los Angeles Times.
	I'm just baffled by that.
	I thought she said Post.
	Yeah, I know, but I heard the Times and I want to hear it again, so maybe I misheard it.
	Maybe I'm mistaken.
	There are a couple of things I want to add, and I'm not sure this is a good place, but I'm going to do it anyway.
	In this morning's edition of the Los Angeles Times...
	I'm sorry, you're right.
	I was wrong.
	Well, Los Angeles Times is corrupt, too.
	Hold on a second.
	I just wonder why.
	What?
	You see, if it made more sense, it would be the Washington Post, because they would know.
	What was the Los Angeles Times?
	I think, oh, here's what happened.
	I think I saw the same report in the Washington Post, and that's why I got confused, because Washington Post will just repeat each other.
	Actually, it's the Los Angeles Times that tends to rerun, because they're a subscriber to the Washington Post news service.
	Interesting.
	I'd like to look at where that story originated from.
	Just look it up while you're talking.
	She starts by saying, I don't know if I should talk about this here.
	That's a message.
	It's like, hello, attention, I'm about to discredit your crappy-ass media plant that you tried to put out there.
	But then she really pulls out the dagger.
	...and guarded in his interactions with Congress, and with the intelligence committees in particular, since being sworn in last September.
	As far as I'm concerned, nothing could be Check that out.
	She called the reporter.
	That's big.
	Diane Feinstein calling you, saying, hey...
	I don't know what Obama camp there is telling you to do, but you're wrong.
	It's very clear to him that this has not been my experience, or to the best of my knowledge, the members of this committee.
	Good point in the chat room.
	The L.A. Times is owned by the Chicago Tribune.
	That would explain it, wouldn't it?
	Oh, Chicago, yeah.
	If it had been, I would have heard.
	Director Petraeus has appeared before us every month since becoming director.
	And the vice chairman and I have had several phone calls and other meetings with him.
	He has upheld his obligation to keep the committee fully and currently informed.
	And I regret that some people felt the need to engage in anonymous complaints.
	Some people.
	I'd also like to say that once again this committee has been put in a difficult position of trying to avoid any mention of classified matters when various parts of the executive branch may be doing somewhat the opposite.
	I ask members to be careful in their questions and statements and to remember that public discussion of some intelligence programs and assets can lead to them being compromised.
	So that, to me, is not an innocuous statement.
	That is a big deal for her to say the executive branch, i.e.
	the White House, is exposing CIA operations and therefore creating a risk to compromise of our assets.
	I think that's a big deal for her to say that.
	Yeah, I'd say.
	So there's a war going on that we are not fully aware of, other than what we've been...
	She's obviously in the middle of it.
	She seemed very annoyed.
	She always seems very annoyed.
	So I'll finish the rest of that Intelligence Committee hearing and maybe more.
	I think I read somewhere, I haven't hit that point yet in the C-SPAN recording, that she says that she and Petraeus had a meeting with Mossad in Washington, D.C., a secret meeting, but she actually said it in this hearing somewhere, which you know what that means.
	That means that the war with Iran is imminent.
	And it's going to be a drone war.
	Well, we did have a correspondent, one of our...
	I got another one.
	Okay, well, why don't you go through those right now.
	Okay.
	I want to mention, by the way, that this Ken Dillanian, I guess is the way it's pronounced.
	Who wrote the article?
	Wrote the article.
	He used to be with USA Today as a congressional correspondent, Rome correspondent, investigative reporter, political reporter at the Philadelphia Inquirer.
	That's where all the spies are in Philly.
	Yeah, it must be something like that.
	I don't know.
	It's hard to say what his connections are.
	I don't see anything noticeable.
	I'm looking at his LinkedIn profile.
	So I got regarding Iran.
	Adam and John, I was listening to your last show.
	I wanted to give you some info on the troops being deployed to Iran.
	Now, we have already had someone else say this to us, which we got a lot of good information.
	Could be disinfo, but I think this I hold this to be valid and credible.
	Info about the troops being deployed to Iran.
	I work at an establishment with military who have come back from Iraq and Afghanistan over the past few years.
	As working with these guys closely on a day to day basis who are still all around my age, we get to know these guys pretty well.
	As a NOAA generalist, I listen closely when they talk to me about the things they have seen or done in the Middle East.
	I've come across only three of these guys who claim to have worked in Iran while overseas.
	They say we have had special forces in Iran for quite some time now, mostly doing recon missions.
	Each of them are top secret and the public is not supposed to know about it.
	These are white American males who are trained to speak Farsi and dress like the Iranians, depending on what region of Iran they are deployed to, and allowed to grow beards to fit in.
	When I asked them how they wouldn't look to be suspicious to Iranians, they generally said that, first of all, they spend most of their time in deserts and mountain regions where the population is sparse, and they only interact with the people if they have to, and they make it real quick.
	Also, they tend to send soldiers with Middle Eastern features, or better yet, any American Iranian who made it through special forces training.
	First time I heard this from one of the soldiers, I could hardly believe it, but hearing a similar story from three different ones, it interested me.
	I've been wanting to send this to you for some time now, but didn't know if I should.
	But hearing the last show about the girlfriend's boyfriend, I just thought that I had to let you know.
	So, boots are already on the ground.
	It's not a surprise, though, is it?
	It's not a surprise, but it is interesting to note because, you know, we've had some assassinations.
	We've had all kinds of weird stuff going on.
	Where we had the students from the University of California caught in those same mountains that these guys are hanging down.
	If all we know is just to exchange a thumb drive...
	Internet in a suitcase, passing it off to you now.
	Yeah, or something.
	I mean, who knows?
	I mean, we never find out, and it's only speculation.
	And then we had that guy that was recently arrested, who was visiting his mom.
	He's a student.
	He's a student.
	He's not a spy or an asset.
	He's a student.
	New code word to look out for.
	Student.
	I used to use journalists.
	Like, journalists, nobody buys anymore.
	Like, journalists, you are a spy.
	You're the only true journalist I actually know.
	You and Molly Wood, actually.
	I think she's a real journalist.
	She would be a great spy, wouldn't she?
	Well, she looks more like the spy type.
	She was on CBS this morning talking about that Facebook IPO. She looked smoking hot.
	Well, she's very telegenic, so she should.
	Like, leave your fiancé hot.
	You're going to leave your fiancé for her?
	No.
	That's what you said.
	That's how hot she looked.
	I'd be sure.
	No, I already discussed this with Mickey.
	She agrees.
	What?
	Threesome?
	Oh, man.
	Hot tub.
	Hot tub.
	Hey, citizen.
	South by Southwest, baby.
	Yeah, I got a clip from the...
	You have to go back because not you brought up to...
	I said she'd be a good CIA accent.
	I do have a clip that kind of applies.
	Okay.
	But it came in the last show and you didn't play it, which is...
	And it's one of the more interesting clips.
	I have to...
	And I think we should play it because it has a funny punchline.
	Let me just look at your...
	Is it Booger T. Washington?
	Is that the clip?
	No, but you can play that again while I'm looking.
	Okay.
	Back on the Young Turks.
	Well, this morning we were talking with J.R. Jackson, who's our long-time producer, and he was saying, you know, every network and station covers Black History Month in the same way.
	You find out about Booger T. Washington in, like, little snippets, etc.
	Booger, booger, booger, booger.
	So do I have to go back to the archive from the last show?
	Is that what you're telling me?
	Because I usually delete the ones we don't play.
	Oh, but it would still be in your email.
	You just can pull it down that way.
	Yeah, I think I might have deleted all of the email.
	I mean, it's archived somewhere, but not on this machine if you really need it.
	Ah, never mind.
	It's not that important.
	All right.
	Sorry about that.
	It's a funny line, though, and it has to do with good-looking women in the CIA, which apparently there's quite a few.
	Well, yeah.
	This guy was, it was about, it's a story about the Glock.
	Oh, right.
	No, I saw it.
	We didn't play those.
	It's a Glock story part two.
	It's a little long.
	Yeah, I don't have it.
	But apparently, the guys who were promoting the Glock gun, which is a plastic gun that everyone was buying left and right, they decided to do a big deal at the SHOT Show, which is a huge trade show in Las Vegas.
	So they used to wine and dine all the buyers from all the police departments and everybody at the Atlanta Gold Club.
	And there's a bunch of anecdotes about that.
	So they decided the guy who's the marketing guy is a genius.
	Apparently much better than I am at marketing our show.
	And the guy decides to get the best looking girl at the Gold Club among the 300 strippers.
	And decide to have her as the spokesperson at the show and to promote the heck out of us all these men.
	Apparently they packed the booth in because this girl is so gorgeous.
	Of course.
	Well, isn't that exactly what you do?
	They said they had to train her, though, at the Glock facility so she knew how to use the gun, who could take it apart.
	So they put her in there with a bunch of police guys, international agents, and all this other stuff.
	But they didn't have the guts to tell them that these guys were training with a stripper.
	Right.
	So he said, everybody just assumed she was with the CIA. Oh, perfect.
	Oh, perfect.
	Actually, I'm scanning to see if we can find that clip.
	That's okay.
	It's too long to play.
	I just played it.
	Yeah, you did.
	All right.
	All right.
	Onward.
	Yes.
	Well, I had a weird dream last night, actually.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	Was it a vivid dream?
	Was it drug-induced?
	No, it was a very vivid dream.
	It was a vivid dream, so you actually don't know if it was real or not.
	That vivid.
	Yeah.
	Well, no.
	I know it was...
	Intellectually, I know it was a dream.
	But there was someone we know and respect.
	And I don't know who it was, but I could feel like some guy...
	Someone we both know and both respect?
	Yeah, it's a very short list.
	Two guys.
	And one of them I'm sketchy about.
	But he was warning me.
	And he was saying, look, you know, they know what you guys are doing.
	You're getting too close.
	Kind of like the Icarus flying too close to the sun.
	And you can't go back now.
	But they're going to try and get you.
	They're going to do it by choking off our funding.
	Well, it's working.
	It was really weird.
	And I woke up this morning and there were two chemtrails in the sky.
	I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
	But...
	Which we never have, really, in Austin.
	There's never...
	And they were, like, in the wrong direction.
	Because we have two flights a day, basically, coming over the house.
	That's about it.
	And they all come from a different direction.
	And there were two chemtrail streaks just hanging there.
	So, I don't know.
	Maybe they chemtrailed me at night and I had these dreams.
	Or they programmed me to say, look...
	Why?
	Because you just got to stop or whatever.
	It was weird.
	Maybe this Feinstein thing you're onto.
	Something's up.
	That I think is huge.
	The Feinstein thing is really big.
	And by the way, getting close, we only get as close as C-SPAN allows us.
	Yes.
	The rest of it is all analysis.
	Indeed we do.
	I got a great clip here from one of our Gitmo Nation East producers.
	And I'll remind you that a lot of this program is produced by people all around the globe because of our reach who send us stuff.
	And there's a member of parliament, Michael Gove, G-O-V-E, the minister of education in Gitmo Nation East.
	And they had this, this is from a BBC podcast, where they were asking him questions.
	And the clip by itself is funny, but then we've consulted the book of knowledge and it gets a little frightening.
	During the session, a number of MPs put to him questions that had been posted on Twitter.
	The last was put by the committee chair, Graham Stewart.
	If you could be any James Bond villain, which one would you be?
	Gosh!
	There followed a lengthy silence before Michael Gove came up with an answer.
	He would be Hugo Drax.
	Wasn't it Hugo Drexler was responsible for the rocket in Moonric?
	Is that right?
	And the parliamentary clerk is nodding.
	I think Scaramanga had an interest in ballistics, but I think that having an interest in rocket science is probably more appropriate.
	The education secretary halted there after one committee member noticed that his advisers, sitting nearby, seemed keen for him to stop talking.
	And the reason why they seemed keen to have him stop talking is because, of course, everyone's like, Drake, we've got to be Hugo Drax?
	Let me consult the Book of Knowledge.
	So, yes, Hugo Drax was the villain in Moonraker, but the master plan...
	Was to destroy the entire human race except for a small group of carefully selected humans, both male and female, who would leave Earth on six shuttles and have a sanctuary on a space station.
	So this is the minister of education who wants to be the guy who kills everybody.
	Oh, brother!
	I mean, what a douche!
	Or...
	I would have wanted to be an octopussy.
	Or...
	Or...
	Is he actually meaning this?
	Well, I mean, it's obviously in the back of his mind.
	I mean, I would have, out of the blue, pulled up Hugo Drax unless I saw the movie the day before, which seems highly unlikely.
	I don't remember that name until you brought it up.
	He's not one of the great villains.
	I mean, it's a storyline that works out, but, you know, I always think of Blofeld.
	I mean, that to me is the only guy I can remember that's a great villain in the Bond series.
	I always think of Blowfly, but that's just me.
	It's a different story.
	So, anyway, that's very nice to know that the education minister in the United Kingdom wants to kill everybody.
	Did you see this movie going around the net on chemtrails?
	Which one?
	Well, the one that we got recently, which discusses the meetings that were taking place, putting the aluminum dust in the air.
	Yeah, what the hell on earth are they spraying?
	You mean that one?
	Because of, yeah, because of the...
	Chemtrails!
	I'm sorry.
	You're trying to cut down on chemtrails.
	Ah!
	How's it going?
	You got me.
	They're trying to cut down on global warming, so they're going to put this shit in the air to cloud up the place.
	Yeah, that's the excuse.
	And it's all submicron particles, which are actually toxic, so as they come to Earth, no matter what you do, you breathe them in, you're just poisoning the entire world, the globe.
	Yes, yes, yes, John.
	That's what they're up to.
	Yes, yes.
	Yeah, what about it?
	He's probably trying to kill us all.
	Oh, well, finally.
	It's taken me five years, but he finally comes around, ladies and gentlemen.
	No, no, no.
	I'm not coming around at all.
	I'm just saying this seems suspicious.
	You're busted.
	You're coming around.
	Seems suspicious.
	You're coming around.
	Good one.
	We got you.
	Ladies and gentlemen, another chemtrail truther, John C. Delora.
	And by the way, your chemtrail theory has always been they're spraying weird chemicals in the air so they can sedate the public so nobody complains too much.
	It's different than killing off the public.
	It seems to be working, doesn't it?
	Well, you've got a pretty passive group out there, yeah, that's for sure.
	The kids are getting in on it now.
	Well...
	Okay, let's see.
	What other lively news do we have?
	Well, there was some stuff going on with Lucifer.
	Lucifer's been back...
	Well, before we go off into that, let's go back and slow it down a little bit.
	Because I do have another.
	I wanted to get Cenk out of the way.
	I got one more.
	Cenk.
	Cenk.
	His name is Cenk.
	Cenk, whatever his name is, that young Turks guy.
	He had, you know, Cornelius.
	Don Cornelius killed himself.
	Yeah, you think so?
	Well, I got him.
	Well, you can change the end of the story.
	I don't care.
	So, Chank has this new set with a bunch of people sitting around doing nothing.
	I don't really get what they're trying to do.
	They're production people.
	One guy is switching, one guy is editing.
	No, no, no.
	It's just a bunch of women looking at computer screens.
	They're not doing anything.
	One's playing Angry Birds.
	Are they hot?
	No.
	No, well, then they're doing it wrong.
	So anyway, so Cenk gets this black guy in here who's going to tell us all about the history of Don Cornelius, and he puts some assertions in here that are just like, you're kidding, right?
	This is what you're going to stay with this story?
	Obviously, it was a tragic story of his apparent suicide this morning.
	So, things about, we might as well start off the month with Don Cornelius, who was the creator, executive producer, and first host of Soul Train.
	As everyone knows what Soul Train was.
	Yeah, it was a shitty show.
	Let me just say it right now.
	Soul Train sucked, okay?
	They had bad acts on it.
	It was no good.
	The dancing was fun to watch back in the 70s.
	It was cool, but it sucked as a show.
	Well, listen to his assertion about the dancing.
	It ran for 35 years.
	It was the longest-running, first-run, nationally syndicated program in television history.
	So first, that's really interesting.
	Second of all, what I didn't know was that he was the executive producer of it.
	Yeah.
	I thought he was just...
	What rock?
	Have you been under, Chunk?
	It turns out he's the one that came up with the idea, and he's the one that pushed it forward.
	He was pitching to several entities to try and get it going, and basically watching folks dance on TV was something that was pretty revolutionary.
	Absolutely.
	He's right about that.
	What?
	Absolutely.
	Are you kidding me?
	Dick Clark had dancing on TV ten years earlier, and he had it on continually.
	Dancing on TV was revolutionary?
	Are you kidding me?
	I think what he meant...
	No, it's not.
	The kind of dancing was revolutionary.
	The kind of dancing.
	We had some...
	I mean, it was some crazy-ass dancing going on on Soul Train.
	But you're right.
	What the guy said is completely ludicrous.
	Okay, I agree.
	Now let's talk about this obvious hit job.
	Actually, I have this jingle.
	Another tale of the Hollywood Whackers.
	So, Don Cornelius.
	That's a good one.
	Don Cornelius.
	In 2008, he was convicted for assaulting his wife And they threw the book at him, really.
	They put him on, you know, 36-month probation.
	You had to do all kinds of crazy stuff because, you know, he tried to really hurt her.
	Now, what's interesting is this woman, and who runs Hollywood, John?
	Who do we assert runs Hollywood?
	The mob.
	Which mob specifically?
	The Russian mob.
	The Russian mob.
	Her name is Victoria...
	That's not her real last name, by the way.
	Victoria with a K. She is an ex-Russian supermodel.
	And it turns out that they finalized their divorce in 2009.
	Here's Don Cornelius' quote.
	I'm 72 years old.
	I have significant health issues.
	I want to finalize this divorce before I die.
	The divorce was indeed finalized later that year.
	And part of the settlement would give her about half a million dollars in life insurance should he die.
	However, stipulation, if he committed suicide within two years, then the policy would be void.
	Well, look at that now.
	The two years passes, just a little bit, and he suicides himself, and she gets a big payout.
	A Russian supermodel.
	Hello, Hollywood!
	Another tale of the Hollywood Whackers.
	Guy was whacked.
	I like it.
	He was whacked.
	He was whacked.
	It's what happens all the time in Hollywood.
	And by the way, if you look her up and look at her images on Google, You get to see what happens when you have one too many facelifts.
	Right.
	Well, she probably needed to continue, and she called up her other Hollywood mobster friends.
	I am needing more facelifts.
	You must kill him.
	Poor Don.
	But he was not a good guy.
	I mean, he was aggressive towards women.
	That's not okay.
	No one brings that up, by the way.
	No.
	Like all these white guilt people.
	Seriously, all these white guilt people going on and on about what a revolutionary character he was.
	Can somebody just say...
	And by the way, that show did suck.
	It sucked.
	Can someone just say that?
	Hey, Soul Train sucked.
	I did like the crazy dancing.
	That was kind of fun.
	Now, I agree.
	They would stop and once or twice during the show, they would form a line and then two or three of the super dancers would come out and do break dancing, early break dancing, things you'd never see anywhere else.
	Right.
	And that was the only thing that was good about the show.
	And Cornelius was kind of full of himself when he was the host.
	Kinda.
	Ugh.
	Yeah.
	Well, anyway.
	And it was a syndicated show.
	That was kind of...
	And I'll give him that.
	You know, from a...
	Early syndicated show.
	He made a lot of money.
	From a television...
	He didn't die broke.
	No.
	From a television executive producer standpoint, for him to keep that show on the air as long as he did.
	I think it went off...
	It actually did go off the air for a year or two.
	There was something that happened.
	And it came back with a new host.
	I remember that.
	And it sucked even more.
	Yeah.
	And by then, of course, we'd already had Club MTV and all that other stuff, and who cares?
	Yeah.
	But you heard it here first.
	No one else on the mainstream media televisions will tell you that Soul Train basically sucked.
	They won't.
	This is true.
	The reporting is so...
	It's pandering.
	Like, people should...
	People listen to our show.
	We do not pander to bullcrap.
	No.
	No.
	No, that would be a waste of sitting down every single day.
	It would be a waste.
	We don't have time for it.
	I saw that radio guy, Pat, who runs like seven or eight stations here in Texas.
	He was at a party I was at the other day.
	Yeah.
	And he said, oh my God, you guys are my favorite show.
	I said, I can't believe...
	He said, I had no idea.
	The production values on your show, the fact that you guys...
	Don't prep anything, but then don't step on each other.
	He said, I don't know how you do it.
	We don't prep working together.
	We prep a lot.
	Well, that's what he meant.
	He meant you don't do any pre-production.
	He works with morning shows.
	Yeah, where they do a lot of pre-interviews and that kind of thing.
	In fact, I was doing the Generation X3 show, and I finally got into everybody's head.
	Do not talk.
	Yeah, shut up.
	Unless the cameras are running.
	Shut up.
	Yeah, exactly.
	There's two things about it.
	One is you're wasting content that is valuable.
	It's worth money.
	Yeah.
	And you'll never say it again.
	You never say this again.
	For people out there who don't understand how most of this works out in the real world, you go to these shows and they put you in a green room and sometimes they bring in a producer and then they...
	They pre-interview you.
	For the Jay Leno show, you have to go three days early to Burbank.
	I mean, unless you're like Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama, that's a little different.
	But you have to actually go to Burbank days in advance to sit down with the segment producer, and then they'll listen to you and say, oh yeah, that's a good story.
	Yeah, I want to buy your cat.
	Yeah, bring that up.
	Or Jay will say, tell me about your cat.
	And then you launch into the story.
	I mean, when you watch this on television, that's how it's done.
	And it's insulting to intellectual human beings.
	Yeah, it's a phony.
	It's phony.
	Yeah.
	And he can't, even with all the pre-production, he still can't interview them.
	It's weird.
	No, well, he's just looking at his cat story.
	Eh, what about a cat story?
	Eh, you've got an interesting story about a cat, I hear.
	I hear.
	Isn't that exactly how it goes?
	Yeah, no, it's really bad.
	Hey, when are the Oscars?
	Aren't the Oscars coming up soon?
	Must be, right?
	We have them soon?
	I think they're in March, aren't they?
	Yeah, let's find out.
	Let's consult the Book of Knowledge.
	So, of course, everybody heard about these two Gitmo Nation East citizens.
	February 26th.
	Hey, citizen.
	Right.
	These two citizens who were arrested over their tweets that they sent.
	And they were not allowed into the port of Los Angeles because they had tweeted some English slang.
	And the slang was...
	Yeah, this is classic.
	Well, but it was another promotion, John.
	Oh, this one, okay, you caught me off guard here.
	Yes, sir-y-bob.
	It was another promotion.
	I'm just looking for everything here.
	Here we go.
	So it's Emily Bunting and Lee Van Bryan were arrested because his tweet, he sent two tweets, and one is the reason why they were caught, and the other one is the promotion.
	It's a why-because type thing.
	So he said, we're going to destroy America, which is a very British euphemism for, you know, we're a party.
	Party, yeah, we're going to get drunk, and, you know, it's going to be a good time, right?
	Yeah.
	Second tweet, we're totally in L.A., piss people off.
	We're going to piss people off on Hollywood Boulevard and dig up Marilyn Monroe.
	Hello!
	Promotion for My Week with Marilyn.
	Yeah, a little belated.
	But it's a good promotion for that.
	Is she nominated for anything?
	Is that movie nominated?
	No, I think the actress is nominated for Best Actress.
	No, that movie is definitely nominated.
	It's a very good movie.
	You saw it?
	Yes, I did.
	Did you go see Hugo 3D? No, still haven't seen that.
	Miss Mickey is, of course, a SAG member.
	So she gets all the Harvey Weinstein company and everything.
	They send the DVDs for free.
	It's really funny.
	And it actually says, after you've viewed this viewing copy only, you must cut it up with scissors.
	Yeah, like we're going to do that.
	Like anyone's going to do it.
	Idiots.
	But on the...
	So I have a copy of...
	And it's in the show notes at 379er.nashownotes.com This is the...
	Do not watch Hugo 3D off a DVD. No, no, no.
	We'd never do that.
	We're waiting for...
	It's...
	Hello.
	Hello, darling.
	Hi.
	This one.
	Thank you, love.
	What?
	While you're talking about the SAGs, by the way, there was a call-out for our show on the SAGs.
	Oh, no kidding!
	Play it!
	Hold on, are you leaving, Mickey?
	No.
	No?
	Okay.
	Love you.
	See Molly.
	Oh!
	She's going to go see Molly.
	I think she heard the threesome joke.
	Tina Fey, John Krasinski, and Meryl Streep with a special In Memoriam tribute.
	I didn't, I watched the show.
	I didn't catch that.
	Here's what's weird about it.
	It was Meryl Streep with a special in the morning tribute.
	There was never any such tribute.
	They just threw it in.
	Oh my goodness.
	A special in the morning tribute.
	I think a writer slipped it onto the prompter, one of our insiders.
	What is that, a special In the Morning tribute?
	What is In the Morning?
	They just threw it out there.
	You're kidding me?
	That's amazing.
	And I watched the show.
	I didn't catch it.
	Wow.
	Anyway, that's cool.
	I'm catching boogers, so I mean, come on.
	By the way, for that, my friend, I will give you...
	Clip of the day.
	But the booger clip or this one?
	No, this one is better.
	So I'm looking at the official document, the withdrawal of application for admission to the United States for this guy, this Lee Van Bryan.
	Yeah.
	And it's in the show notes, and it says...
	During secondary examination, which of course, you know, this is where it happens, right?
	It tells you that it's a promotion, but it's funny here.
	And they're sending another message to us.
	Mr.
	Bryan was placed under oath, and his sworn statement was taken by CBP Officer Maiman.
	Mr.
	Bryan confirmed that he had posted on his Twitter account...
	That he was coming to the United States to dig up the grave of Marilyn Monroe.
	But it actually says tweeter in the document.
	It doesn't say Twitter.
	It says tweeter.
	Wow.
	That must be code.
	I'm beginning to think that when people use that inappropriately, it's code for something.
	Yeah, it's probably code to tell us.
	It's a wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
	Towards us.
	It's like, hey, just so you know.
	Just so you know, hey, Adam and John, here's stuff you can use.
	Yeah, it is a wink-wink, nudge-nudge.
	I can't find the Rick Perry on the tweeters thing anymore.
	Did I lose that?
	Yeah, Rick Perry on the tweeters.
	Yeah, no, you probably...
	Well, I still have it.
	I had it somewhere.
	Or that was your clip.
	It was my clip.
	Yeah, but I haven't used that in a long time because it got old.
	But when you have a problem like that, I have a new thing.
	Play Permaclip 1.
	Permaclip 1.
	All right.
	All right.
	Good.
	Thank you.
	Very good.
	I don't know what happened to that one.
	Oh well, it happens.
	Hey, by the way, here's something that showed up.
	I'm going to run through all my clips one after another.
	But here, play clip Secret Service and Romney and then realize that we've actually made a mistake.
	We make mistakes on the show, but we made a big one here.
	And other caucus states.
	CBS News confirms that Mitt Romney will have Secret Service protection by Thursday.
	I was under the impression that he already had it, and we were under the impression that Ron Paul had it, but apparently not.
	No, Ron Paul's the guy who actually needs it.
	Yeah, that's what I think.
	Yeah.
	Hmm, that's interesting.
	We know that Valerie Jarrett has it, the true President of the United States.
	Yeah, why would she have it and Romney doesn't?
	It's interesting.
	Why does she need it at all?
	Yeah, I know.
	Maybe that's what the dream was about.
	Too close to the truth.
	I got a...
	Let me see if I can find this.
	I got a note from one of our...
	I get so many insiders.
	You know, they send this to me because I've got encrypted email and all that.
	I don't have encrypted email.
	Send it to him.
	So we know that Hillary Clinton has a Lucifer.
	I'm going to have to change the name now.
	Lucifer does not get along well with the Secret Service at all.
	In fact, we've discussed on the show previously, she can never be president because then the Secret Service will blow the lid on her.
	Well, the lid off of whatever it is, they have the lid to blow.
	But she was notorious, during the Clinton administration, I have some friends in Washington that told me that, of course, they were claiming that Clinton wasn't going to get re-elected because of her.
	And she apparently treats the Secret Service like scum.
	So I got a note from one of our military personnel.
	Who listened to the show.
	He says, one of my shooting buddies was on White House Detail with the Secret Service and had to get four stitches in his head when Hillary threw a highball glass at him after he refused her order to fix her a drink.
	And he said, look, I'm a Secret Service agent, ma'am.
	I'm not your bartender.
	And you know what the code word is that all the Secret Service guys use in D.C., but also when she flies into Afghanistan, they all have a code word, right?
	Yeah, they all do.
	What's Obama's code word?
	Do we know his code name?
	I think we had it on the show once.
	I don't know what it is anymore.
	Hold on a second.
	Let's just find out.
	Yeah, that would be in the Book of Knowledge.
	Let's see if the Book of Knowledge can help us out here.
	Renegade.
	What?
	Renegade.
	Really?
	Renegade.
	Really.
	Do you know what Lucifer's codename is?
	Well, I'm looking.
	No, no, no.
	This is not going to be on the Book of Knowledge.
	This is what the guys...
	Well, it will be on the Book of Knowledge once this show gets fanscribed.
	It'll be indexed.
	Let me tell you what it says in the National NNDB for her.
	So then you can give me the real one or the new one or whatever they're using.
	Because I'm sure that changes anyway.
	Where are you?
	Hillary Clinton.
	Bill Clinton was eagle.
	Spread eagle.
	Eagle.
	Chelsea Clinton was energy.
	So she must have been a little go-getter.
	And Hillary Clinton was evergreen.
	Well, the guys in Afghanistan, where this comes from, of course, call her broomstick.
	Broomstick.
	I love that one because it has so many multiple meanings.
	Broomstick is on our way in.
	Warning, warning.
	30 seconds till Broomstick arrives.
	Chuck, Chuck, Broomstick's on our way in.
	So here's the clip on Broomstick leaving that I promised you on Sunday's show.
	what could we do to persuade you to run for vice president?
	Oh, my goodness.
	Oh my goodness.
	I'm so flattered.
	Let me get my broomstick.
	First of all, it's one of the most extraordinary, wonderful experiences being able to work with all of you, which I am always telling people everywhere how privileged I am.
	I think I have made it clear that I will certainly stay on until the President nominates someone and that Transition can occur.
	But I think after 20 years, and it will be 20 years, of being on the high wire of American politics and all of the challenges that come with that, it would be probably a good idea to just find out how tired I am.
	Everyone always says that when they leave these jobs.
	And I think from my perspective, I will just work as hard as I can until the last minute.
	I have the honor of being secretary and certainly do everything, no matter what I do, which I have no idea what it will be, to support all of you.
	And I am happy to work with Vice President Biden, who does an excellent job and is a huge advocate and supporter for this department and for USAID. So it's a little odd for me to be totally out of an election season, since as Secretary of State I cannot participate.
	But, you know, I didn't watch any of those debates.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Well, there you have it.
	She's a self-professed, tired bitch.
	There you go.
	So, let's go over some of these code names.
	These are kind of funny.
	And by the way, they do change.
	Some people have one, two.
	Like, George H.W. Bush was first Sheepskin, then Snowstorm, then Timberwolf.
	So, it's not...
	And Barbara Bush was Snowbank, then Tranquility.
	Oh!
	Tim, what was Barbara Bush's name?
	She was originally Snowbanked and it was Tranquility.
	Oh, Snowbanked.
	Jimmy Carter was Dasher, then Deacon, and then Lockmaster.
	Apparently when Obama visited the Gitmo Nation East, they called him, the officials there had codenamed him Smart Alec.
	That's just from the Book of Knowledge, so I don't know if it's true.
	It's not listed here.
	Here he's listed as Renegade, which you said.
	And Michelle Obama is Renaissance.
	Oh, I'm looking at the same document now that you have.
	Okay.
	Yeah, then Malia Obama is Radiance.
	Sasha is Rosebud.
	Sarah Palin is Denali.
	Denali?
	That's interesting.
	Yeah, Denali.
	And Todd is Driller.
	Really?
	What is Denali?
	JFK was Lancer.
	Hmm.
	Cindy McCain, Parasol.
	My favorite is you got the Reagan ones.
	Reagan was always apparently Rawhide, but Michael Reagan, the talk show host, is Riddler.
	Nancy Reagan, Rainbow.
	Dick Cheney, codename Backseat.
	As in Backseat Driver.
	Yeah, probably.
	That's kind of good.
	These are good.
	I like these.
	And Frank Sinatra apparently had some codename.
	Napoleon.
	Napoleon.
	Hey, man, we need some cool code names.
	Oh, well.
	I mean, Crackpot and Buzzkill, that's like public knowledge.
	Now we need some, like, secret code.
	So, anyway, Broomstick is hanging out, and who was visiting Washington but our very own favorite Thai-eating shill from Georgia, Mikhail Saakashvili.
	Now...
	We know from reading the National Defense Authorization Act, all 908 pages of it, what are we doing?
	Lucifer was there just a couple weeks or months ago.
	Time flies.
	And what did we approve in the National Defense Authorization Act?
	Do you recall, John?
	Well, the main thing that everyone's upset about is now a habeas corpus is out the window.
	The U.S. military can police the streets of the American cities and arrest the public at large and then intern them for unknown periods of time in a detainment facility, including Gitmo.
	Right.
	But there was also a provision in there for weapons sales to Georgia.
	Remember that?
	Actually, I don't remember it, but it sounds right.
	Yeah, and Hillary's job is to go complete the sale.
	So she does one of her clippity-clop meetings.
	There's a little bit of clippity-clop in the clip.
	A clippity-clop clip.
	And just listen to what she says about how awesome our relationship is with Georgia.
	Well, it's a pleasure to welcome the President here to the State Department.
	He's had a number of excellent meetings and consultations here in Washington, starting with the very comprehensive meeting he had with President Obama in the Oval Office.
	Georgia is a valued partner to kill people with.
	They are actively participating in Afghanistan to kill people where Georgian soldiers are showing great courage killing people and professionalism.
	We are pursuing a system of Consultations.
	John, consultations about killing people.
	To determine the way forward on further trade and investment.
	Invading Iran.
	There's a lot of work going on in our bilateral Thank you very much.
	To kill people.
	So then he visits with, well you heard it referred to it, with President Obama, who makes just about the biggest flub in international foreign politics I've ever heard.
	Who visits with him?
	Shakisvili.
	Oh, okay.
	So let's recall, when was Georgia in the news?
	I don't know, it was a couple years ago.
	Yeah, and what happened?
	What happened is, all of a sudden, fighting broke out between the Russians and Georgia.
	The mainstream media played it off like, oh, poor little Georgia was attacked, when there is undeniable proof that Georgia attacked the Russian troops.
	You recall us discussing all this, right?
	And we had a lot of evidence to that effect, and we also found the phony websites and who owned them and all the rest of it.
	Now listen to our president, the leader of the free world, speaking to the archenemy of the Russians.
	The eighth anniversary of the Rose Revolution.
	I think Georgia should be extraordinarily proud of the progress that it has made in building a sovereign and democratic country.
	And one of the first things that I did was express my appreciation for the institution building that's been taking place in Russia, in Georgia.
	Oh, God!
	What an idiot!
	He actually said Russia!
	Wait a minute.
	Guy who eats Thai.
	Oh, yeah, Georgia.
	I'm sorry.
	Wrong douchebag.
	Well, there goes his statue.
	There goes the Obama airport sign.
	Yeah, I mean, you know Obama's angling to take George Bush's place.
	Yeah, of course.
	You know, as a guy who's streets named after him.
	It's George Bush Airport.
	It's George Bush Airport, yeah.
	But to say that, and you see Sakashvili literally go like, huh?
	Did I really just hear him say he was so proud of Russia?
	That to me...
	Those kinds of things back in the 70s, John, we would call that an international incident.
	Yeah.
	Totally.
	Well, nobody played it up at all.
	Came across a funny clip.
	What?
	Remember we...
	We played Obama backwards.
	And yes, we can.
	And if you played that backwards, it was like I Love Satan or something.
	Right.
	Do we still have that clip?
	I should take a look.
	Let me see.
	Yes, we can backwards.
	I think we have it somewhere.
	Someone else did some back-masking on his...
	Oh, thank you, Satan.
	That's what it was.
	Let's see if I can find this.
	I don't have the actual clip.
	I've got some YouTube thing, which will probably not be what we want, but might be worth it.
	Let's see.
	Yes, we can.
	Absolutely.
	Yes, we can.
	Now, listen.
	Thank you, Satan.
	Pretty clear, right?
	Yeah, it says thank you, Satan.
	Yes.
	Thank you, Satan.
	So this is a clip from...
	That's a classic.
	We need to keep that.
	Yeah, I really should.
	This is him saying the alien saucers are coming.
	And it's from his inauguration speech.
	Even greater cooperation and understanding between nations.
	We'll begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan.
	The power of alien saucers.
	I'm not getting that one.
	It's a little hard to hear through Skype.
	No, I'm not getting it.
	I hear it fine through Skype.
	Really?
	Well, listen again.
	I think that's pretty clear.
	On Neptune?
	That's not clear.
	I'm going to show myself the world by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda.
	Back to one show.
	In the morning.
	Here we go.
	Aaron Heath in St.
	Agnes, South Australia, $126.
	Don't mention my name, Julie, in Eaton, Colorado, $111.11.
	Hi, guys.
	I'm a CIS admin.
	Last year, I asked for vacation karma.
	It worked.
	Oh, good.
	No one even noticed I was gone.
	I don't know if that's good, but I'm glad it worked out for you.
	I'm trying to get my luck and go on vacation again.
	Can I have some more vacation karma to ward off any disasters while I'm gone?
	Love you guys, Julie.
	You've got karma.
	Sure, Julie.
	We're happy.
	Happy that worked out for you.
	Thank you so much.
	Michael Stadjuhar, Stadjuhar, Stadj, Stadjuhar, in somewhere.
	I think it's Arab Emirates, maybe?
	It looks like he's in the military.
	Yeah.
	$101.01.
	Thanks for the greatest show in the universe, greatest podcast in the universe.
	You missed my donation of January 1st.
	Well, that's weird.
	I think so.
	But my goal is to complete a 12-12-12 knighthood in December.
	It'll leave me a few weeks to enjoy being a knight before the end of the world.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, you got to make sure you get in on that.
	There's no time like the present.
	And by the way, why don't you just give all your money to the show because you're going to die anyway.
	Yeah, it's the end of the world.
	And what was the date?
	21st, 21st of December.
	21st.
	Yeah, we should at least have some fun.
	Oracle Broadcasting, Round Rock, Texas.
	That's in your neck of the woods, $100.
	Ken Burchill, or Burchill.
	Burchill.
	Probably Burchill.
	In Ottawa, Ontario, $88.00.
	Hi, John and Adam.
	I'm an avid cyclist, and I heard Austin is very bicycle-friendly.
	Adam, are you bicycle-curious?
	Wow, wow.
	Yeah.
	Well, Lance Armstrong not only lives here, but he trains for the Tour de France in Austin because the hills are, the inclines, etc., are very similar.
	And there's a lot of guys cycling because we have a really big Shoulders on our roads here.
	Oh, that's nice.
	You need that.
	You can ride like three guys side by side and not bother anybody.
	It's good.
	And can you add him to the birthday call-out list, Ken Burchill?
	Yes, of course.
	I'd be happy to.
	I don't think he got listed.
	No, he didn't.
	Good call, Ken Burchill.
	Johan Badenhorst in London, $77.
	Hey, citizens, just a small donation so I can finally get de-douched.
	You've been de-douched.
	What did I do wrong?
	I was going to guess for a combo, but then the karma's for his wife.
	Oh, okay.
	Swanette.
	Hey, citizens!
	You've got karma.
	And he says, hail the foot, Johan Badenhorst.
	Hail the foot, Johan Badenhorst!
	Hail the foot, Johan!
	Yeah, you can use that for your phone.
	Patrick Vaughn in Traverse City, Michigan.
	Again, fit double nickels on a dime.
	Hit me with a hey, Citizen Karma.
	Oh, hey, Citizen Karma.
	Okay, let's go.
	Hey, Citizen...
	You've got karma.
	Lockdown, a new job.
	Could use the luck.
	Thanks for making the best podcast in the universe.
	Alan Bean in Oakland, $50.
	Back donating after two months off donating to the show so I could donate to Dr.
	Paul's run at the representative nomination.
	Hmm.
	Hence all our donations.
	That's where the money's going.
	Okay, now I get it.
	That's where all the money's going.
	Andrew Haverson, Gravenhurst, Ontario, $50.
	Christopher Lawton, Dartmouth, Massachusetts, Nuts, $50.
	Greg Brunsel in Kenosha, Wisconsin, $50.
	And Scott...
	Mel Kothian in Tokyo, $50.
	Mark Boikers?
	Boikers?
	Boikers?
	Boikers.
	It could be Boikers.
	It could be Boikers.
	Chain Valley Bay, New South Wales, $50.
	And that's all we got.
	Yay!
	So that's our short, uh, and, you know, oh well.
	I'm making a call.
	I'm making a call.
	This is already a short month.
	I'm making a call right now.
	Well, it surprises me that we had a really lousy Sunday, and it usually gets made up for.
	But here's the fact of the blather.
	Is that we're working very hard doing this literally all the time.
	I mean, I'm always on my phone if I'm mobile.
	I'm always collecting stories.
	We run a huge infrastructure for collecting stories.
	We have the Noagin, the News Network.
	We got the show notes.
	We're watching C-SPAN. For Christ's sakes, excuse me, didn't mean to take the Lord's name in vain.
	We're watching Rachel Maddow.
	So you don't have to, by the way.
	I think we're bringing unique entertainment.
	And it just seems like a lot of people are just saying, oh, well, whatever.
	Times are tough.
	Screw them.
	Screw them.
	Enjoy the entertainment.
	No, the value-for-value model was built upon the idea that we could bring you a show.
	Support.
	Yeah, well, support.
	What did I say?
	No, that's what I'm saying.
	I'm saying support.
	We need support.
	We need support, but like real support, not last year's support.
	Seriously, I'm very happy I live in Austin because my rent is lower, everything is lower, except for, what do you call that stuff?
	The gas.
	Gasoline?
	No.
	Oh, natural gas?
	Yeah, the gas.
	Your gas and electric bill.
	No, no.
	Yeah, what do you call the gas?
	They call it...
	It's called gas.
	No, no, no, no.
	Pacific gas and electric.
	We pay for gas.
	No, they call it...
	Methane.
	Something with a P. Propane.
	Propane, thank you.
	You have propane there?
	Yeah.
	Is that heat the house or what?
	Yes, yes.
	Because we don't...
	So this is like the king of the hill with the guy that...
	We're out in the sticks, man.
	We have a septic tank.
	We barely have water.
	You have a septic tank and propane?
	You're that far out in the middle of nowhere?
	I can't afford to live in the city.
	Huh?
	South Congress.
	I can't afford that.
	Well, I didn't know you were like that, boy.
	I'm telling you.
	Why do you think I have guns in the house?
	We're out here, man.
	They could kill us and no one would know about it until the next show.
	And then maybe not even then?
	Yeah.
	No, but it's disappointing to me.
	Okay, well, that's disappointing to me to an extreme.
	It doesn't matter, but I will say, by the end of this month, it hasn't picked up.
	I want to go back to one show a week because I have to do something else.
	That's not a threat.
	It's a promise.
	I've just got to do something else.
	Done.
	How about you?
	Well, if you're starving to death.
	You've got two kids in school.
	I've got one that's going to go to college.
	I'm going to be really up against it.
	Yeah.
	And we've got a tax bill coming up.
	If you look at these prices at college, it's a scam.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it is a scam.
	We're being scammed left and right.
	But just, again, you're spending money on entertainment.
	You're spending money on news and information.
	Please consider spending it on us.
	Why?
	Because we need the donations.
	Why?
	Because we need the value for value.
	Why?
	Because we said so.
	That didn't work.
	It almost worked.
	I'm not sure.
	I feel like writing a check.
	One too far.
	Exactly.
	And here's how you do it.
	Now listen until they shut us down based on your dream.
	Let me see what the chat room says about this.
	Let's see.
	Show needs more original content.
	It's all original content.
	Thank you, Wham-O. Why don't you go pound yourself?
	What do you mean?
	I'm talking now.
	Is this like a copy of myself?
	Apparently.
	These are people who sit in their underwear.
	I'm in my underwear, too.
	I do the show.
	This is the chat room.
	The chat room is what it is.
	There's always somebody like that in the chat.
	We need more original content.
	What does that mean?
	That's all we have is original content.
	Is this something that you hear on MSNBC? Or is this something you hear on CNN? No, I don't think so.
	No, this is funny now.
	This is good.
	Okay, the show needs more alien talk.
	There you go.
	There might be some truth to that.
	Some of the crackpot stuff seems to be very appealing to a large group of the audience.
	Needs more cowbell.
	Boo-hoo, I can't pay my mortgage.
	No, well, if you can't pay your mortgage, then don't donate.
	A dollar!
	A dollar!
	Needs more car...
	You know, we did the cowbell once.
	Okay, well, we'll try that then.
	Hold on.
	No, I got a cowbell too.
	I'm not going to use it.
	I think it's annoying.
	What?
	Cowbell.
	I think what's really missing is this.
	Squirrel. .
	There you go.
	I'm done.
	Done ranting.
	That's a terrible cowbell.
	Please consider donating for February the 14th.
	Why?
	Because nothing says I love you more than donating to No Agenda and supporting the program.
	How about donating on the 10th?
	We missed that palindrome.
	21012 is a fantastic five-number palindrome.
	Is it possible the show has just run its course?
	No, I think a lot of it has to do.
	I think we've lost a lot of, well, that's, yeah, that is a possibility.
	I think about that once in a while, but I'm not going to, but that takes a longer run of no donations than a couple weeks or even a month.
	That's what I'm saying.
	End of February.
	That's what I'm talking about.
	It's possible that the show is on its course.
	Maybe it's just done.
	I don't know.
	People have heard it.
	They finally got the message.
	They can't get anyone else to listen.
	We have a lot of people who say they won't even listen to the show.
	They'd rather just be in the days of whatever the mainstream media, Wolf Blitzer tells them, and advertising.
	A lot of people would prefer.
	Leo, by the way, and he makes it very public, Leo is now at a run rate.
	Leo is doing $9 million.
	You're kidding me.
	$9 million?
	Yes.
	Wow.
	Good on him.
	Well, I may have to say, he took an approach that was commercial.
	And he doesn't overdo the commercial, but he does have these long commercials.
	And it's the sell-you stuff.
	And it's a different approach than we have, which is just a donation model.
	And a lot of people, I guess, they'd rather...
	Typically, when you watch TV or listen to the radio, you're getting two minutes of content and one minute of commercials.
	So you're just listening.
	Most of your time is being wasted.
	It's a waste of people's time, the way I see it.
	But it's not just that.
	I think that's a huge part of it.
	It is a part of it.
	And I respect Leo for what he's done.
	I didn't know about the nine million.
	I think that's outstanding.
	And I congratulate him.
	But of course, you know, he's a lot more relaxed.
	Yeah, really.
	He's more relaxed than we are.
	But he can't really talk about everything because you can't.
	When you have sponsors, and of course he talks more about gadgets and shiny things.
	He likes to go into politics once in a while, but he knows he can't go too far because he'll get some sponsor.
	Sponsor will pull out, exactly.
	Or you get some group of people who say, screw you, we're going to tell your sponsors not to be on your show.
	We wouldn't last a second with sponsors on this show.
	Not a second.
	No, we could do it, but the show would suck.
	It would be like any other morning show or a zoo.
	We'd be the Soul Trainer podcast, baby.
	It would still be the greatest podcast in the universe with no content.
	That's right.
	Hello, everybody.
	It's the Soul Trainer podcast here.
	Oh, well.
	But I am serious.
	I got a kid coming out here.
	I got to pay for her.
	Yeah, well, we'll see what happens over the next month.
	But don't forget...
	You mean remember?
	The 10th of February is a great, great palindrome.
	Remember.
	Not don't forget.
	You always do that.
	What have we learned?
	What have we learned?
	We've learned...
	Actually, I think I... Yeah, well, we've learned nothing.
	Hey, citizen.
	Correct.
	It's your birthday, birthday!
	I'm no agenda!
	Well, apparently people still like to pay money to have their name mentioned on the greatest and best podcast in the universe, and we do that usually in the form of birthdays, so let's do that.
	Ken Berlichman, he celebrates his birthday on Saturday.
	Happy birthday.
	And of course, Alexis Richardson, she celebrates, actually she congratulates herself as she had her birthday yesterday.
	So happy birthday on behalf of everybody here that we're supporting, barely just getting by on the No Agenda podcast show.
	And then Christopher Lawton, who came in with his final $50 for today, we can knight him.
	Hold on, let me get my thing.
	I'm glad we pay for the rings in advance.
	So come on, Oliver Christopher.
	We're very, very happy that people like you support the program and understand our value model.
	And because of your support, up to $1,000, you not only receive that glistening night ring to go hit people in the mouth with, but we also bestow upon you the title of Sir Christopher Lawton, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	My friend, as an extra bonus, we have for you right over here at the roundtable, hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay, if that's your preference, and certainly hot pants and booze.
	Come on in!
	Alright, enough bitching.
	Well, to change the topic, I don't want to change the topic too much, but you know the Mormons?
	Yes.
	You've heard of them?
	Yes.
	We have a lot who listen to the show, actually.
	Yeah, I'm sure we do.
	Don't piss them off.
	Because they correct us every so often.
	Well, the Mormons are the ones behind all the genealogy sites and the popularity of genealogy and all the rest of it, because the Mormons believe, and the Mormon can correct me on this, but they generally believe that you can find one of your old relatives who's dead, who's been dead, and you can re-baptize them in the grave, and then they can become saved, or they can kind of post-facto...
	You're really doing a horrible job at explaining this.
	I really don't understand.
	Well, whatever the case is, the Mormons like to...
	Let's just put it this way.
	They're behind all the genealogy databases.
	Don't they have the biggest database in the world of everybody?
	Yeah, if you want to find out about your relatives, the Mormons are one of the better places.
	Ancestry.com is the one that is one of the leading...
	Is that a Mormon outfit?
	Yes, it's headquartered in Provo, Utah.
	Really?
	I didn't know that.
	It's in Provo.
	I mean, I don't see where it says a Mormon.
	And they run genealogy.com, myfamily.com, rootsweb.com, footnote.com.
	They own the place.
	That's a very successful company, by the way.
	So I saw this commercial done by them, which has white people and black people finding out who they're related to, and all the black people seem to be related to the same person.
	Obama?
	No.
	No.
	This is the clip that says weirdest commercial messaging ever.
	I'm not quite sure what they're trying to tell us, but I found the whole thing to be slightly disturbing.
	What can I say about Ancestry.com?
	My adventure began when I received a leaf pointing me in the direction of my great-grandfather, who was a pilot with the flying aces in World War I. On my mother's side, I found an aunt who traced her lineage all the way back to Thomas Jefferson.
	I was able to trace my bloodline back to nobles and even a king.
	I discovered I'm a direct descendant of Eric the Red.
	After only a couple of hours on Ancestry.com, I was able to trace my family line all the way back to none other than our third president, Thomas Jefferson.
	Marie Antoinette.
	Thomas Jefferson.
	Aristotle.
	Thomas Jefferson.
	Alexander the Great.
	Thomas motherf***ing Jefferson.
	Join Ancestry.com and begin a one-of-a-kind journey into your unique past.
	Because you never know where your story begins.
	Wait a minute.
	Thomas Jefferson.
	I'm expecting someone to go, Wheezy?
	Really?
	Did you find that a little peculiar?
	What's up with the Thomas Jefferson bit?
	Everybody who said Thomas Jefferson was black.
	Of course.
	Every white person was related to somebody else.
	But apparently every black man in the world is related to Thomas Jefferson.
	This guy was, I guess, screwing everybody.
	Hey!
	Hey, slave!
	Come over here!
	Let me show you something.
	I'm Thomas Jefferson!
	I find this somewhat insulting on the one hand, and bogus, and also it's messaging it.
	What is the message of the...
	Because we're looking at, you know, obviously the Ancestry.com folks are big supporters of Romney, let me guess.
	I could be wrong.
	And what is the point of this messaging?
	I've thought about it.
	I thought it was kind of racist and insulting because there's all this anti-Jefferson stuff going on.
	Because this is actually an anti-Jefferson or a white man is a hypocrite.
	There's messages in here and I just can't figure them out.
	Help me out here.
	Often in politics you hear people talk about the Hamiltonians and the Jeffersonians.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	So what's the difference between the Hamiltonians and the Jeffersonians?
	Oh, offhand, I'm not sure.
	But it had to do with monetary policy, if I'm not mistaken.
	I could be wrong.
	But whatever the case is, is this possible...
	I don't think this has anything to do with that.
	Is this possibly trying to say to black people that they're really, you know, kind of part of the same family and they actually have...
	Better lineage?
	They have better lineage than the white people who are, you know, they were just kind of, you know, Marie Antoinette is a bad lineage.
	I mean, she's like a creep who had her head cut off because she said let them eat cake.
	So they're saying all you black people should get on board here with Romney because you're really all related to Thomas Jefferson?
	Is that what it is?
	I don't know.
	I agree it is very disturbing the way that, particularly the guy who went, Mother Evan Jefferson!
	I mean, I was like, wow.
	It was a woman.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	And it kind of, somehow it felt racist.
	The whole thing.
	No, it felt, when I first saw it, I thought it was racist.
	And then I started thinking about the Mormon connection.
	And I started thinking, well, maybe there's some sort of subtle messaging going on here.
	Because there's a belief that the Mormons hate blacks.
	Because some years back, I guess they didn't let him in the church.
	They do now.
	And I don't know.
	I just found the whole thing to be slightly disturbing.
	At the same time, I know it's trying to accomplish something, but I'm not sure what.
	I'm trying to find out.
	I'm consulting the book of knowledge here.
	Thomas Jefferson, sex with slaves.
	Let's see if that results in anything.
	Hmm.
	No.
	Interesting.
	I don't know.
	I don't know what that means.
	One of the mysteries we bring up here on our lack of original content show.
	Well, the whole thing is, you play the clip that's not original content.
	We can't criticize this ad.
	How are we going to criticize this ad if we don't play the clip?
	How do we understand anything if we don't play the clip?
	Unless we want people left in the dark, tell them to go watch something that was on three days ago.
	What kind of thinking is this?
	It's just someone in the chat room, John.
	Take it easy.
	Okay.
	Alright, so CBS, which is, is CBS still owned by Viacom, or did Sumner Redstone sell that part?
	As far as I know, they still are.
	Let's take a look in the Book of Knowledge.
	It's Book of Knowledge Day, ladies and gentlemen.
	So CBS is...
	Now we know that ABC is completely compromised.
	We've got Stephanopoulos in there.
	We have the president's...
	One of his senior advisors is ABC News.
	President's sister, Valerie Jarrett.
	It's just the whole thing is compromised.
	CBS is always kind of interesting to me.
	Now they're owned by a media conglomerate, but I think Redstone's still involved.
	So CBS is really going hard at the Obama administration.
	Yeah, Redstone is still the executive chairman, so they just basically just scammed some money from someone.
	Well, someone's paying him to do this.
	So first, CBS has this report, which was exclusive according to Charlie Rose.
	And when did Charlie Rose become a CBS shill?
	I mean, I didn't know this.
	Yeah, he took over.
	Their morning show was one of the worst things ever.
	And it was just losing audience.
	And so they fired everybody except Erica Hill and put in Charlie Rosen and this black woman who I've seen on other shows who's very vibrant, but she's She's not that entertaining.
	And Rose is the main guy.
	He's like the Brian Gumbel of the morning set there.
	And he's so depressing.
	I don't know what they were thinking.
	Tell me about your sexuality and your DNA. So he's...
	By the way, he did the segment with Molly Wood this morning.
	I could swear he was looking at her boobs.
	Sure he was.
	You can ask her later.
	I will.
	Or she'll never get on again, so never mind.
	It's all over now.
	Hey, Adam and John, thanks for ruining my career.
	Hey, join the club.
	All right, so there's two reports.
	The first one is quite astounding to me.
	You thought Solyndra was the only company...
	I never thought that.
	They had a bunch of companies that they've been scamming money to.
	How much money do you think in total that they've put into these alternative energy companies from the American Reinvestment Act?
	I would guess about up to $5 billion.
	$6.2 billion.
	And most of them are going bankrupt.
	Listen to the report.
	It's been four months since the FBI raided bankrupt Solyndra.
	It received a half billion tax dollars and became a political lightning rod.
	Republicans claiming it was a politically motivated investment.
	We counted 12 clean energy companies that are having trouble after collectively being approved for more than $6.5 billion in federal assistance.
	Five have filed for bankruptcy.
	The junk bond rated Beacon, Evergreen Solar, SpectraWatt, AES's subsidiary Eastern Energy, and Solyndra.
	Others are also struggling with potential problems.
	Nevada Geothermal, a home state project personally endorsed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, warns of multiple potential defaults in new SEC filings reviewed by CBS News.
	It was already having trouble paying the bills when it received $98.5 million in Energy Department loan guarantees.
	SunPower landed a $1.2 billion loan guarantee last fall after a French oil company took it over.
	On its last financial statement, SunPower owed more than it was worth.
	First Solar was the biggest S&P 500 loser in 2011 and its CEO was cut loose even as taxpayers were forced to back a whopping $3 billion in company loans.
	Nobody from the Energy Department would agree to an interview.
	Last November, at a hearing on Solyndra, Energy Secretary Stephen Chu strongly defended the government's attempts to bolster America's clean energy prospects.
	In the coming decades, the clean energy sector is expected to grow by hundreds of billions of dollars.
	We're in a fierce global race to capture this market.
	Economist Morisi says even somebody as smart as Secretary Chu, an award-winning scientist, shouldn't be playing venture capitalist with tax dollars.
	Tasking a Nobel Prize mathematician to make investments for the U.S. government is like asking the manager of the New York Yankees to be the general in charge of America's troops in Afghanistan.
	It's that absurd.
	Watching this report, and it was much longer than this, this was edited down for your protection and convenience, this coincides with exactly what the Ulsterman White House insider was saying, is that the real scandal of the Obama administration, the real scandal, is all this money they gave to their cronies with the stimulus.
	And that that is what the people in power, the people with all the money, are really trying to bring to the forefront, is that the Obama administration, which I think is just a small club of people connected to Chicago, took our money...
	And gave it to, like, you know, Harry Reid's buddy there in Nevada.
	And that this scandal is supposed to be bigger than Fast and Furious.
	And now I'm seeing CBS doing this report?
	I mean, I think that's significant, and we'll see if more comes out, if more jump on board.
	But in the big money game, John, I'm thinking that this really is a push to discredit the Obama administration.
	Yeah, it could be, and it could also be just the tip of the iceberg.
	Well, that I think for sure.
	And I'm not quite sure where to look.
	You know, I love doing this stuff.
	Although I will say that one company got $3 billion.
	It's so much bigger than Solyndra, but no one's talking about it.
	That was First Solar.
	Did we ever talk about First Solar?
	No.
	$3 billion?
	And guaranteed loans.
	Now another CBS program, 60 Minutes.
	Lays into, you were talking about it earlier, the National Defense Authorization Act, Section 1021.
	Please do not look for 1031 as the mainstream media is trying to distract you and trying to steer you away from where the real language is.
	So we have the guy interviewing Panetta, Leon Panetta, the current director of, he's a defense secretary.
	Who used to be CIA. A little swip swap there.
	And he specifically says, hey, wait a minute.
	You can now go and drone American citizens.
	Now, this answer from Panetta is so meme-driven.
	Everything, every meme we ever talk about on this show is in his answers.
	Well, you know, without getting into the specifics of the operation, if someone is a citizen...
	There's the first one.
	A citizen.
	Of the United States.
	And is a terrorist who wants to attack our people and kill Americans.
	In my book, that person is a terrorist.
	Now, did you hear what he just said?
	If you're a terrorist, then in my book you're a terrorist.
	Yeah, he said if you're a terrorist, you're a terrorist.
	Yeah, it's not like the definition of a terrorist.
	He just says if you're a terrorist and you want to kill American people, not you're killing, no, if you want to kill American people, then in my book you're a terrorist.
	So a terrorist is a terrorist.
	And the reality is...
	And by the way, has he published his book?
	What book is that?
	This guy is very dangerous.
	That under our laws, that person is a terrorist.
	So, under our laws, that person is a terrorist if they're a terrorist.
	It makes no sense.
	And we're required under a process of law.
	Okay, I've got to stop again.
	What is process of law, John?
	What the hell is that?
	What is the process of law?
	Well, it implies due process, but he never says that.
	And there is no due process if you're just going to define some average person as a terrorist.
	Because in his book, you're a terrorist.
	Because you're a terrorist if you're a terrorist.
	In my book.
	In my book.
	Now out in hardcover.
	So anybody can be a terrorist, essentially.
	I mean, for pretty much complaining to the government about the...
	Food stamp program.
	Whatever.
	Sending too many letters and you could be defined as a terrorist.
	A person is a terrorist.
	And we're required under a process of law to be able to justify that despite the fact that this person may be a citizen, he is first and foremost a terrorist.
	My God!
	No, you're first and foremost a citizen!
	A citizen!
	Thank you!
	You're not first and foremost a terrorist.
	This is so outrageous.
	You're first and foremost a terrorist.
	No, you're always a citizen first before anything else.
	This guy is an a-hole.
	...able to justify that despite the fact that this person may be a citizen, he is first and foremost a terrorist who threatens our people.
	And for that reason, we can establish a legal basis on which we ought to go after that individual just as we go after bin Laden, just as we go after other terrorists.
	Why?
	What?
	What he just said was that we can go kill him.
	Yes, that's exactly what he's saying.
	Because he just said just the same way we did with Bin Laden.
	Yeah.
	We can do the same thing with someone that we define as a terrorist for whatever reason, since there's no real, you know, what does it mean?
	It's not a person who's actually done anything.
	No, it's in his book.
	He looks it up.
	He goes, hey, Dvorak.
	We think he's a terrorist.
	This is pretty good.
	I looked at the book.
	I think we should probably stop doing the show.
	Just as we go after Ben Laden, just as we go after other terrorists.
	Why?
	Because...
	Ooh!
	Isn't that beautiful?
	Isn't it beautiful what he's doing there?
	Why?
	Because.
	Why?
	Because.
	Hey, shut up.
	In my book.
	We go after Ben Laden, just as we go after other terrorists.
	Why?
	Because their goal is to kill our people.
	And for that reason, we have to defend ourselves.
	God, this is so, so, just mind-boggling.
	And it's on CBS. They're not entitled to due process of law under the Constitution of the United States.
	They lose their citizenship.
	Now listen to them.
	This is about the expatriation act that they're trying to push through.
	They will lose...
	Now, here's...
	You're going to find out how you lose your citizenship, but he lies his way all the way through this.
	This administration decides they're a terrorist.
	You know, people...
	This person wanted to...
	Why?
	Because...
	Suddenly raised questions about...
	Now, he says, this person.
	I didn't quite understand that.
	Back it up.
	Yeah, he says, this person.
	But there's no...
	I'm going to go back to the question.
	There's no reference to anybody.
	He's referring to, I think, a terrorist in general.
	Okay.
	A citizen terrorist.
	A citizen terrorist.
	There you go.
	I'm a citizen terrorist.
	Hey!
	This person wanted to suddenly raise questions about whether or not they're terrorists, and they were to return to the United States.
	Yeah, I'd like to raise a question, point of order.
	Am I a terrorist?
	I'd like to know, am I a terrorist?
	Of course they would be entitled to due process.
	Due process.
	But due process in a military court, he evades the truth.
	That's something we provide every U.S. citizen.
	And for that matter, frankly, any terrorist who's arrested, we provide due process to that individual as well.
	What?
	That's a blatant lie!
	We don't provide any due process.
	Yeah, you provide military process.
	It's like, here's how the process goes.
	Let me look in my book.
	You're a terrorist.
	Off you go to get him, old boy!
	But if a terrorist is out there on the battlefield, and a terrorist is threatening this country...
	Here it comes.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
	Did he say on the battlefield...
	Did he use an and or an or?
	When he's...
	Go back and hear that.
	I want to hear that again.
	On the battlefield, I think.
	Because I'm thinking, you know, they're trying to define the USA as a battlefield.
	Well, of course it is.
	It's already been defined.
	That is indeed the goal.
	He says the battlefield.
	...is threatening this country.
	That person is an enemy combatant.
	Oh, hold on.
	Let me just back it up.
	I can't go back far enough.
	Of course they would be entitled to due process.
	That's something we provide every U.S. citizen.
	And for that matter, frankly, any terrorist who's arrested, we provide due process to that individual as well.
	But if a terrorist is out there on the battlefield, and a terrorist is threatening this country...
	So, first you've got to be a terrorist.
	Threatening this country.
	Then you get named...
	That person is an enemy combatant.
	Bada-bing!
	That's the language.
	An enemy combatant.
	So the people in the Occupy movement...
	Are enemy combatants.
	They're on the battlefield.
	I think so.
	Yeah.
	They're on the battlefield.
	Drone targets.
	And when an enemy combatant holds a gun at your head, you fire back.
	This is what I find to be outrageous.
	So, it's one thing if an enemy is holding a gun to your head.
	It's another thing if a guy is out in the desert somewhere going like, I hate America!
	I think there's a big difference between those two.
	Don't you think so?
	Oh yeah.
	Who makes that decision?
	Who makes that decision, John?
	Who makes a decision to fire back, i.e.
	make a drone strike?
	Who is the sole individual who can make that decision?
	I think the president can, because he's already done it.
	It is the president and no one else.
	Decision as to whether or not ultimately to do that.
	Yes.
	The President of the United States obviously reviews these cases and reviews the legal justification and in the end says go or no go.
	So it's the requirement of the administration under the current legal understanding is that the President has to make that declaration.
	Correct.
	Not you.
	That's correct.
	Only the president can decide.
	Well, it's a recommendation we make.
	It's a recommendation the CIA director makes in my prior role.
	But in the end, when it comes to...
	Why does he laugh about that?
	Why does he laugh, you know, in my prior role?
	He's in the same job.
	He hasn't changed jobs.
	No, he's laughing because he...
	That's why he's laughing.
	He's laughing in my prior role like I'm still not working there.
	No, I think he's laughing because he's like, I sent so many people on the list to drone him.
	I can't even keep dragging him.
	Oh, that's a possibility.
	Just kill people.
	Recommendation we make, it's a recommendation the CIA director makes in my prior role.
	But in the end, when it comes to going after someone like that, the President of the United States has to sign off.
	And he should.
	And he should.
	Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, this gentleman is a maniac.
	These guys are all maniacs.
	The country is run by maniacs and the idiot public keeps voting him back in.
	And do you want Mitt Romney to decide whether you get killed?
	Is that not...
	Romney was already confronted on one of the debates with what he thought of the NDAA and that particular provision.
	He said it was fine.
	Yeah, he can't wait to get his finger on the button.
	They got a whole joystick there.
	They got videos on the drones as they're shooting.
	It's like they're playing Xbox, these people.
	Yeah.
	I was at the CIA. We had this cool Xbox game.
	It's called Drone Your Ass.
	Insane.
	Absolutely insane.
	And quite disturbing.
	Very.
	Very disturbing.
	Thank you, CBS, though.
	I mean, I don't know.
	I don't think...
	Something's up.
	Somebody got irked.
	It must have been Redstone or something.
	Something happened.
	We missed whatever it was.
	I'm sure if we dig a little bit, it could be the hearings on...
	And CBS is very involved in the hearings from the FAA on censorship.
	And there's some back story to this because they essentially, CBS, turned on the administration with this particular piece.
	This is a hit piece designed to expose the administration for a number of things.
	And this part here has just got to frighten the public.
	It's frightening me.
	And when you see the video, I guess...
	Well, you know, his propane tank must have exploded.
	He's talked about it in the past.
	I keep telling Mickey, I am not flying anymore in my life.
	I'm just not going to fly anymore, because that's how they'll do it.
	Oh, yes.
	Unfortunate accident.
	It always happens two miles from the airport.
	He was on the right approach, and then he just disappeared from the radar.
	Don't know what happened.
	Don't know what...
	It's crazy how that happens.
	No way, man.
	I'm packing heat.
	I'm driving around with a judge, and you try and come up to me.
	If you look hot and you're blonde, I'm putting a cap in your ass.
	Because you're probably CIA to kill me.
	Okay.
	So, um...
	On lighter news.
	No wonder people don't want to donate to the show.
	Enough already.
	Get away from me.
	So we need more of lighter news.
	Play the soccer riot story.
	Let's get some news out there.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Okay.
	Jonathan Hunt, live tonight at the United Nations.
	John, thanks.
	Some American, I should say, a soccer riot in Egypt today killed at least 73 people.
	It hurt a thousand more.
	That's according to local officials.
	At a soccer match, fans stormed the field just seconds after the home team unexpectedly beat the league's best club.
	Witnesses say the fans hurled rocks and bottles at one another.
	Egyptian officials say most of the victims died from concussions, deep cuts to the head and suffocation during the stampede.
	There was more soccer news, or do you have to comment on this?
	No, the game, I think we should talk about soccer more.
	Okay, well, it's a part of the Euro.
	Here we go.
	Yeah, things are great over there in the Euro land.
	Things are really looking up, and we've got Haiku Herman on the way, and of course our buddy, Nigel Farage, who got into a little tiff there in the European Parliament there at Starfleet Command.
	But first, this very sad news about Greece and soccer.
	Empty seats and a tattered flag in an Athens soccer stadium.
	A grim metaphor for the crisis hitting Greece's cash-strapped soccer leagues.
	The fate of the country's second and third tier teams now hangs in the balance after players went on strike over unpaid wages and lack of health insurance.
	Football League Vice President Stelios Svakianakis says the league has been hit badly by the current economic crisis.
	He says this has been the worst crisis for Greek soccer since the professional game was created.
	So they can't even pay their health insurance.
	How many times...
	Let me play that again and let's count the number of times she uses the exact same word, crisis.
	Empty seats and a tattered flag in an Athens soccer stadium.
	A grim metaphor for the crisis hitting Greece's cash-strapped soccer leagues.
	The fate of the country's second and third-tier teams now hangs in the balance after players went on strike over unpaid wages and lack of health insurance.
	Football League Vice President Stelios Svakianakis says the league has been hit badly by the current economic crisis.
	He says this has been the worst crisis for Greek soccer since the professional game was created.
	There's more to it.
	Listen to the whole report, see if Crisis comes back.
	I have three so far.
	Three or four?
	Was it four?
	Three.
	Yeah.
	Things have gotten worse as we have not received any...
	I love this guy.
	He sounds like a computer voice.
	Things have gotten worse as we have not received any money from television broadcast contracts.
	Funding our income since last May.
	We don't have the television contract that we had with the national broadcaster, nor have we reached an agreement with OPAP, the Greek Organization of Football Prognostics.
	Despite it being practically February.
	Despite the suspension of games, some teams, like Ethnicos Asteras, were still training in Athens.
	Its coach says the problem of uninsured players must be tackled.
	This year the second and third tier national teams have been left at the mercy of God.
	The athletes can't play uninsured.
	The league is a tough one.
	We have many injuries every Sunday and they've given insurance only during some games.
	That's the worst thing.
	I would rather the games never start if the players don't get insurance.
	This midfielder says he hasn't been paid for the last seven months and is now forced to borrow money from friends and family.
	I don't think she says it anymore.
	Well, so this is made out to be an insurance crisis.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Crisis.
	Sorry.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Whenever we say crisis, now we have to ring the bell.
	So it is a crisis, but when you hear seven months, and this really ruins it because I was waiting for the World Cup soccer, and of course I was going to call Greece.
	It was so obvious they're going to win, but now these guys aren't even going to get on the field because if they get hurt, then they have no insurance.
	How do you get hurt in soccer?
	Oh, you can get messed up in soccer.
	Anyway, Nigel Farage, and this is an interesting clip because the translators take over.
	So you can't hear the original audio.
	And apparently, Nigel Farage quoted a British publication, this is not in the clip, but it comes back, talking about how many of the Germans in the European Parliament are Nazis.
	Something to which both Herr Schulz, who of course is now the big buona there at Starfleet Command, and some of his cohorts from Germany take rather large exception to.
	And Nigel just keeps on screaming.
	They turn his mic off.
	They tell him to shut up, slave.
	It's an interesting exchange.
	About a Gauleiter.
	As a German, I very much object to democratic Germany being put on the same footing as Nazi Germany.
	And so I would like an apology from this gentleman.
	Nobody in Berlin is sending Gauleiter anywhere in Europe.
	That is a speech full of hatred.
	This is incitement of hatred between European peoples.
	He should withdraw his words or you should ensure that this sort of thing does not recur.
	Thank you.
	Some might say, and indeed the biggest selling Sunday newspaper in Britain used that word.
	And if you want to talk about hatred, just look at what this European project is doing.
	We have German newspapers slagging off the Italians for being cowards, slagging off the Greeks for being lazy and useless, and we have Italian and Greek newspapers...
	Depicting leading figures in Germany wearing Nazi uniforms.
	Surely the whole point is that this project that was designed to bring us all together in peace and harmony is actually ripping us apart and bringing back nationalisms.
	And if there was one country I really had a go at in my speech, it was actually the United Kingdom because I admitted the way we behaved towards Greece wasn't acceptable in the 19th century.
	So now they turn his mic off.
	Translator comes in.
	Nationalism is propagated in this house by those who wear flags upon their desks and their nationalism upon their sleeve.
	I believe you're one of them.
	The next speaker is Mr.
	to Brock. - They're yelling.
	Mr.
	Brock has the floor.
	Mr.
	Brock has the floor.
	Mr.
	Brock can talk now.
	Please, sir, take your seat.
	Mr.
	Brock has the floor.
	He's roofing him.
	I'm going to roofie you.
	Did you hear that's what he said?
	I'm going to roofie you.
	Roofie you.
	I'm calling you to order, asking you to take your seat.
	Mr.
	Farage, I'm calling you to order.
	Please take your seat, otherwise you'll have to leave the chamber.
	Mr.
	Brock has the floor.
	I'm going to roofie you!
	I heard it.
	I'm going to roofie him.
	So it's a mess there.
	And of course, Nigel is right.
	I mean, it is...
	I speak to Dutch people all the time.
	And it's really quite frightening how they speak about the Italians and the Greek.
	They do the same thing.
	Lazy-ass Greeks, stupid Italians.
	It is ripping Europe apart.
	Yeah, because these people, these countries are not designed to be hooked up like this.
	No.
	No.
	So, hot bull crap.
	I mean, Europe is the way it is because of a long history, and it's cultural.
	It's deeply ingrained cultural, and it's language-based, too.
	People think a certain way largely because their language influences the way you structure your thinking.
	Because certain things you can't think about if it doesn't even exist in the language.
	And unless you have a single language in the whole of Europe...
	You're not going to have an EU that works.
	This whole thing is a disaster.
	So, on the 30th, just a couple days ago, they rammed through a new treaty.
	Just amazing how this has happened.
	Now we have the Lisbon Treaty, which we had a referenda, we had all kinds of voting on this.
	You know, Ireland said no.
	Ah, pfft, stupid Irish, do over.
	Ah, pfft, there it is.
	Ireland says yes.
	And because they have to fire up the ESM more than a year and a half early, which you heard on this show first, the European Stability Mechanism, which has already been voted on by the finance ministers in July of 2011, Which forces every single member of the Eurozone to pony up any money that is requested from Brussels.
	Cash call, you've got to pay.
	There's no way out of it.
	There's plenty of information about this in the show notes.
	There's even a great YouTube video in German with English subtitles that explains exactly how it works.
	And so what do they do?
	They create a new treaty.
	A brand new one all of a sudden, overnight, at an informal meeting that everyone has to sign off on and must be entered into every single national constitution.
	Haiku Herman takes the floor in the Starfleet Command and explains, well, we're sorry, but we gotta screw you.
	This treaty must be seen as just one element of the reforms to economic governance.
	Economic governance, ladies and gentlemen, not financial.
	Economic governance.
	Send your tax money to Brussels.
	We have achieved over the last two years reforms which involve both responsibility and solidarity and which include the six-pack which remains the backbone of our new governance architecture.
	This treaty is about more responsibility and better surveillance.
	Surveillance.
	Every country that signs it commits to bringing in a debt break into its legislation.
	You hear a debt break, he said dead, but I think he meant debt break, into its own legislation.
	Preferably at constitutional level.
	Boo!
	And by the way, the document in the show notes, you'll find it, draft treaty January 27th, PDF. 3%.
	If you don't, if you can't keep your debt under 3%, the fine is 0.2% of GDP for the first fine.
	That's a lot of money.
	An automatic correction mechanism will reinforce compliance.
	Reinforce compliance automatically!
	Enshrining the debt break in the treaty will enhance its credibility.
	This is important as a confidence-building measure.
	It represents a major step forward towards closer and irrevocable fiscal and economic integration and stronger governance in the euro area.
	It will significantly bolster the outlook for fiscal sustainability and euro area sovereign debt and therefore enhance economic growth.
	Placing this commitment to self-control in the treaty shows our long-term and irreversible commitment to avoiding excessive deficits and debts.
	So this is basically all language meant for hedge funds and bankers.
	He's saying, you can trust us.
	Really, you can trust us.
	We've got them all.
	They're signing off on this thing.
	We've got the thumbscrews on, and they have to pay.
	They have to pay at constitutional level.
	It will be absolutely ingrained and embedded in law.
	Don't worry.
	Send us your money.
	No problem.
	And then he continues.
	Like most members of the European Council, and like the European Parliament, I would have preferred these issues to be addressed by changing the existing treaties rather than through a separate treaty.
	But it was so much more fun to draft up something that no one got to vote on just how we got here in the first place.
	As you know, the necessary unanimity for this was not forecoming.
	There was no choice, but to go down this route.
	But in doing so, I was personally determined to keep the new provisions as close as possible to the EU treaties.
	Except for that money thing.
	We were not setting up a separate organization, but a means of reinforcing our union.
	And I had endeavoured in the same way when setting up the Europlus pact.
	I hope that our successors will succeed in integrating this treaty in the EU treaties.
	Pfft.
	Screwed.
	That's interesting.
	That's a good one.
	John's like, hmm, let me see.
	That's not so good that's going on over there.
	No, this is headed to a disaster.
	These guys are just out of control.
	Well, you thought we had some kind of patent on idiots running the show?
	No, they're worse than we are.
	The Euro.
	And that concludes our European segment, ladies and gentlemen.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	That is what I call depressing.
	Meanwhile, while President Obama has his finger on the button to drone you whenever he feels like it, because he's the man, Michelle Obama spent $50,000 at Agent Provocateur in New York while she was there.
	Doing what?
	Shopping.
	For what?
	Clothes.
	$50,000?
	Was she buying couture?
	Yes.
	Agent Provocateur.
	You've certainly heard of it.
	Oh, Agent Provocateur.
	Yes, Agent Provocateur.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, $50,000.
	She did so well because, of course, when the First Lady buys a certain brand, everybody else is like, ah, everyone's going to buy that now.
	So first of all, they closed off the whole shop on Madison Avenue.
	Oh yeah, everyone's real happy about the way they travel around and shut down the cities.
	The stock price actually spiked.
	Of what?
	What company?
	Agent Provocateur.
	That's the name of the company?
	Yes.
	You've never seen this fashion?
	Agent Provocateur?
	No, let me look.
	Or Agent Provocateur, as we might say.
	Yeah, they spiked on the UK exchange.
	I don't know if they're listed in the US. Sexy, luxurious lingerie.
	Oh, yeah.
	She bought $50,000 worth of lingerie.
	I thought she bought couture dresses.
	Well, it's couture lingerie.
	No, she bought more.
	Such thing as couture lingerie.
	Of course there is.
	What are you talking about?
	And you know who buys most of this stuff is...
	This is like a rip-off of Victoria's Secret.
	Oh, there's a couple of peekaboo things that are quite interesting.
	Peekaboo.
	Hey, citizens.
	Hey, citizens.
	I see two citizens in front of me.
	Yeah.
	But, you know, $50,000.
	Whoa.
	Do it while you can, lady.
	She's probably related to Thomas Jefferson.
	Thomas Mother F. Jefferson!
	Oh, wow.
	Okay.
	So let's see what we got here.
	I got a pooper Pinsky Brockovich clip that goes on forever.
	Oh, lovely.
	I love a pooper.
	But it does start off where you can just kind of hear Dr.
	Drew kind of hinting around, but nobody will say anything.
	They will not bring up Gardasil.
	It's just amazing how they spread it.
	He has been doing, his whole show is about this.
	It is lengthy.
	Wow, that's a long clip.
	I wouldn't play the whole thing, but you can play a little bit.
	My mom isn't satisfied with the answer she's been getting.
	State health department officials said they found no environmental or infectious cause for the girl's symptoms.
	Some doctors who have examined the girl say the tics could be stress related, something called conversion disorder.
	We're going to have more on that in a moment.
	Activist Erin Brockovich is now getting involved.
	Over the weekend, some of her associates collected soil samples near the girls' school.
	Brockovich is looking into a chemical that spilled in a 1970 train derailment about four miles from the school.
	I talked to her and Dr.
	Drew about the case.
	Dr.
	Drew, you interviewed some of these young women, some of these girls, exhibiting really astonishing symptoms.
	I know you haven't given them an actual examination, but as a doctor, from what you know, what's your assessment?
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Theory.
	Theory, theory, theory.
	Remember they were doing gene testing?
	They wanted to have the girls come in and do voluntary gene testing?
	Here's what I think happened.
	I think that Merck, who runs the Gardasil outfit, I think they neglected to do proper testing on genes.
	And this, by the way, goes all the way back to Thomas Jefferson.
	That probably...
	Human resources from a certain gene pool can have severe adverse effects to this particular vaccine, and they're now trying to figure it out and they're scrambling because, of course, if they just didn't do the proper testing, which I believe you have to do for all kinds of injectables, you have to check gene pools, this is why this is being covered up.
	Does that make any sense?
	It sounds good.
	Yeah, it actually does make some sense.
	You've heard enough of that clip.
	Yes, I have.
	I just wanted you to just play part of it.
	I got a couple of things.
	Here's a couple of things.
	I want to just tell everybody out there listening to the show...
	Your taxes are going up.
	No matter what anyone tells you, your taxes are going up and they're going to go up no matter who gets elected because this is already planned because I was watching a C-SPAN presentation by the Congressional Management Budget Office, the Office of Management...
	Congressional OCM, OMB, whatever it is.
	OMB. Yeah, OMB. And he says they're going up.
	And then I just caught a hearing where somebody else just kind of casually said it was going up as if it was a done deal.
	And all we're seeing right now with the pre-election is just bullcrap arguing that's got nothing to do with reality because this whole thing has been fixed.
	And I'm going to actually want you to play part two of the clip.
	Which says you're getting taxed part two, which is the second part of this.
	I heard this after.
	And then you can play the part one and you can hear where it really is confirmed by the manager, by the...
	OMB. OMB. Deps, it's important to remember the president got everything he wanted the first two years.
	We're living in the Obama economy.
	At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney argued the president has done his part to cut spending.
	He said the real problem is the other side steadfastly rules out tax hikes.
	What has been lacking thus far is any willingness to deal with revenue.
	In any meaningful way by the Republicans.
	And that is just not the approach that the broad base of the American public feels is the right way to go.
	The Congressional Budget Office.
	You can stop it there.
	Which is bullcrap, by the way.
	Nobody wants to be taxed more.
	Revenue is code for taxes.
	They've changed.
	We've got a new word in the vocabulary.
	Revenue.
	Revenue is taxes.
	Revenue.
	Now, the guy from OMB goes on and on about this, and he casually talks about the taxes that are going up, because by law, there's a bunch of them going in play.
	And then he mentions that he has this horrible graph that shows that we're damn near broke.
	And he shows it going up, and then he just casually mentions that they're not cutting back on the government spending much.
	It's just a very minor thing, and we're still going to do fine, but the way we get there is by being taxed a lot more, and this is a confirmation as far as I'm concerned.
	Let me turn now to our budget projections.
	Under current law, we expect that this year's deficit will be about $1.1 trillion.
	At 7% of GDP, that is nearly two percentage points less than the deficit.
	We're twice as bad as everyone was.
	7% of GDP? Isn't that like good?
	Which would mean we'd be thrown out of the EU. Oh, we can't join the European Union.
	Damn.
	Recorded last year.
	But still larger than any deficit between 1947 and 2008.
	Over the next few years, projected deficits in CBO's baseline narrow sharply, as you can see in the picture, averaging 1.5% of GDP and totaling about $3 trillion between 2013 and 2022.
	With deficits small relative to the size of the economy, debt held by the public drops a little as a share of GDP in our baseline projections, but remains quite high.
	Much of the projected decline in the deficit occurs because under current law, revenues will rise considerably.
	In particular, between 2012 and 2014, revenues in our baseline shoot up by more than 30% because of the recent or scheduled expiration of various tax provisions and new taxes and other collections that are scheduled to go into effect.
	Federal spending in the baseline declines modestly relative to GDP in the next few years.
	30%.
	Wow.
	Revenue.
	Revenue.
	Keep saying revenues.
	Revenues.
	Yeah, revenues are going to increase 30%.
	That means taxes.
	Taxes.
	Wow.
	Are going up 30%.
	And this mentions, well, you know, there's a minor decline, modest, in spending.
	So there's going to be a lot more taxes being taken from the public, and spending is, we're going to spend it.
	So let me bring all of this together for my final presentation of this program.
	So with our 7%, A deficit of GDP, which means we cannot join the Eurozone, which is sad.
	With Europe being completely and royally effed, where all of your money is going to go to bankers.
	This is all code that they're using, but it's going to go to bankers.
	Your taxes will go directly to bankers, as will ours, by the way.
	What is the final goal?
	It has been said time and again, and you can call me a conspiracy theorist, you can call me a creep, you can call me whatever you want, but this is about truly one world fiscal and economic governance, which means all your money goes to the banks, the banks rule you, and we're going to have a global currency.
	A one-world money, because the euro has to go away, the dollar is just paper at this point.
	Here is Sir Evelyn Rothschild, and yes, I believe that he is one of the evil ones.
	When he's asked a question about the Rimby, which is, isn't that that Indian thing?
	I think so.
	Listen to what his answer is.
	The RMB situation, you mentioned a so-called currency problem.
	I mean, do you see the day in the next five years where it's fully convertible and flexible?
	Well, you're talking to a person who's quite old.
	If I'm around in five years, I'd like to think that that is the case.
	I think we've all got to move towards that opportunity, and I think the challenge also is whether we should move towards an international currency.
	Because the speculation and the complexity of currency has caused some of the irritation, not only among the trading nations, but among individuals.
	But it's not for me to say how it will happen, but I think everyone who knows how to deal with these situations is very cognizant of the problem it takes to get over it.
	So there you have it.
	Top banking family saying, well, obviously I'm old, so my time is up, but it's very clear we're going to go towards a one-world international currency, and it's not up to me to say how it's going to happen.
	Just look around you!
	They're bringing down everything, crashing everything, and I can't take this any other way than that's the plan.
	Well, there's definitely a huge slowdown being created.
	Mimi is always moaning about the fact that they're now tearing down houses that are unsold or being foreclosed.
	They're just ripping them down, tearing them down, because we just keep pushing down the price of housing, even though it's actually way too low.
	And the thing that I brought up at the very beginning of the show, which I'll probably put in a little, maybe a paper and send it out to people, which concerns me to an extreme, which is the Baltic Dry Index.
	By the way, he was talking about the Chinese currency, obviously.
	He could be.
	Yeah, Remnambi.
	The Baltic Dry Index is at something like a 30-year low.
	And what does that mean?
	The Baltic Dry Index is a very interesting indicator that discusses only raw materials that are being shipped around the world.
	Coal, wheat...
	Copper, just anything like that.
	And it is a leading indicator, meaning whatever it does, other things happen afterwards.
	And it is so low at this point that it's lower than it was when...
	Remember when the crash took place in 2008?
	You mean the crisis?
	The crisis.
	In 2008, the crisis...
	In 2008, the Baltic Dry Index really just cratered.
	And then it didn't even fully recover.
	It's never recovered.
	And now it's cratering again, even though the stock market's at 12,000.
	This whole thing is rigged to collapse.
	And, you know, I don't know if that helps us get more donations.
	Probably not.
	No.
	But I think people got to keep this show on the air so they can hear about this sort of thing.
	And I'll discuss this more in detail.
	It's frightening to look at this chart.
	And you are a financial analyst, my friend.
	No, I'm not very good at it.
	Well, there you have it.
	See the obvious with this thing.
	This is unbelievable.
	I'm thoroughly bummed out now.
	Thanks, John.
	Great.
	Sir Gitmo, do we have a producer update coming up later today or something that I should be promoting on the stream?
	Let me know on the back channel, of course.
	So there you have it.
	I don't think any other podcast or any other show really will give you this type of information.
	And maybe you had a laugh or two along the way.
	Maybe at our expense.
	Panetta did.
	Yeah.
	Oh yeah, he's laughing about droning you.
	And we'll be back here on Sunday to do it all over again with original content.
	Coming to you from Camp Mofo, where we've got chemtrails in the skies.
	In the morning, everybody, my name is Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm watching the Baltic Dry Index, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Talk to you again on Sunday, right here on No Agenda.
	Back on the Young Turks.
	Well, this morning we were talking with J.R. Jackson, who's our long-time producer, and he was saying, you know, every network and station covers Black History Month in the same way.
	You find out about Booger T. Washington in, like, little snippets, etc.
	Booger, booger, booger, booger, booger.
	Dvorak.org.
	Slash.
