	What are you doing with Arabic on your machines?
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, February 5th, 2012.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 380.
	This is No Agenda.
	Living in the margin of error here at Camp Mofo in the capital of the drone star states, Austin, Texas.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the motto is, I tweet, therefore I am.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Correcto Mundo.
	There was an article I read the other day about that.
	Actually, I tweeted it just to make it even worse.
	It's called like the Facebook psychology that this whole liking business that when people like or retweet, it's giving them the feeling that they've actually done something.
	So we're becoming a nation of likers and retweeters instead of doers.
	So if someone says, hey man, I just went out for a great run and you go, oh, like it, yes.
	Now I feel like I did the run.
	Does anybody pay attention to the likes, the number of live asses before?
	Nobody can say, yeah.
	Does anyone pay attention to the like, you know, liked by, you know, number on Facebook?
	I don't.
	I don't.
	It broke the other day.
	Did you read about that?
	No, gosh, what happened?
	Well, Facebook pushed out some code on Friday, which is never a good idea, I've learned.
	Not before an IPO. And, like, the JavaScript API broke, so all these millions of sites that have like buttons didn't work.
	But worse, you know, there's so many sites now where if you want to join the site, you can make your registration through your Facebook login.
	That broke, too.
	Oh, good.
	So it's like, hello, can we see the peril looming?
	Do you understand this is not really a good idea?
	No.
	I went through that whole Facebook filing, by the way.
	It's all bullcrap, what everyone's saying.
	What are they saying?
	I haven't paid much attention.
	Oh, everyone's saying, oh, they had $3 billion in revenue.
	Well, let's look at it.
	Only 56% of that is actual revenue, of which 12% comes from their 30% from their Zynga Vig.
	Over a billion of that revenue is from sale of stock.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, yeah.
	So in other words, that backdoor sales of stock.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Then you have their infrastructure.
	They lease that.
	So they lease their bandwidth and their servers, and they state right in the S1, it's off-book transaction.
	So there's no assets there.
	We don't actually know how much they're spending on infrastructure, because it's not on the balance sheet.
	$600 million, but they have revolving lines of credit continuously.
	So they're paying off lines of credit, not the actual cost of the infrastructure.
	Yeah, but then you read everyone, oh, they do three million in advertising!
	No, they don't.
	Three billion.
	Yeah, three billion.
	Yeah.
	And then there's this thing...
	That's what everyone says.
	And then there's this thing called RSUs.
	You know what this is?
	No.
	What?
	It's a form of option.
	And throughout the whole document...
	RSU. Yeah.
	They state that...
	They don't know how many billions of dollars the actual tax hit will be to the company, but it could impact them severely.
	So they don't even know what their...
	A restricted stock unit.
	There you go.
	It's a form of equity compensation.
	Right.
	So it's used as a pay.
	Instead of paying somebody money, you give them an RSU. Yeah, which is typically given to market makers.
	RSUs and warrants.
	You know, a market maker.
	Someone who will then start trading the stock.
	And then they're employed through warrants and RSUs as public relations people and consultants.
	It's such a scam.
	And by the way, I've lived through this scam.
	I ran a public company, so I know what it is.
	I know how the scams work.
	I should be in jail right now.
	Well, for other reasons, too.
	For more reason than one.
	But, uh...
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	Gee, why am I not stunned by this information?
	What, that everyone's reporting all this bogus information and all you have to do is read the S1 to actually see it?
	That information you mean?
	Well, I think once the red herring comes out, I don't think it's out yet.
	I think then that this will be re-evaluated.
	No, no way.
	You think everyone's just got the hook and they're reeling them in and that's the end of it?
	Everyone's going to read the red herring?
	Correct.
	You know, last night...
	Well, you are cynical.
	Well, I'm very cynical and I'll give you a great example.
	In the morning, by the way, John, how are you?
	In the morning to you, Adam Curran.
	In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground and feet in the air.
	In the moon bases.
	And, of course, all the human resources.
	Hey, citizens there in the chat room at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
	Nice to have you all here.
	Let me see if we have a quorum real quickly.
	We have, oh, nice, 728 people logged onto the stream.
	728 people that probably aren't listening to the show, and they have done us no good as a chat room normally would.
	Blew it up last week.
	You screwed up, man.
	You really screwed up.
	I made a mistake, and I got suckered into believing that the ad was not anything more than a parody that I talked about, and the chat room didn't stop me.
	Well, maybe I didn't see it.
	The chat room's supposed to, or you.
	Hold on a second.
	I was amazed, too.
	Once in a while, you got suckered by a hoax?
	Yeah, of course.
	Everyone gets suckered once in a while, but for you, that was pretty bad.
	Yeah, but it was funny.
	Still funny.
	Yeah, it was funny.
	So last night, I don't know if you saw this, so coming back to how the media, I mean, I'm convinced that the media is not necessarily evil.
	They're just completely stupid.
	Big conclusion, right?
	Well, if you want to get off to a roaring start...
	Well, let me rock it to you.
	So I'm watching Piers Morgan, very excited, because Ron Paul was on Piers Morgan yesterday.
	And here's how the show opened!
	Ron Paul is not going to be your next president.
	Okay.
	I'm like, alright.
	This is awesome.
	This is going to be a great show.
	He is not going to be your next president.
	So why are millions of young people hanging on every word from a 76-year-old Texas congressman?
	I'm the old kook.
	Why aren't they listening to the old kook?
	It was actually a very, very good interview.
	It's too bad no one watches this stuff.
	And I'm going to play two passages.
	Because Ron Paul lays out some things that we have spoken about so explicitly for so many years.
	And you can just see that Piers Morgan does not penetrate that watermelon on his shoulders.
	He just does not understand what is being said.
	And the first thing is about the unemployment numbers.
	Now, I think going back to when I was in London, John, when you explained to me the first time how these unemployment numbers are basically cooked, and what they don't do is count the people who have fallen off the radar and have become bums, essentially.
	And that's how you can manipulate these numbers.
	I mean, this is literally four or five years we've been talking about this, correct?
	Yeah, and then there's three numbers you can deal with.
	There's the one that they keep telling us about.
	Then there's the U6, which is an old calculation, which is closer to the truth, which is around 15.5%.
	And then there's the true unemployment, which is including the bums and everybody in between, that a company out of San Francisco called ShadowStats generates, and that number is closer to 25%.
	So Ron Paul explains to Pierce Morgan why these numbers are bogus.
	And you can just hear him, pre-programmed robot that he is, just not understanding what it's actually being.
	Are you okay?
	Did you just fart?
	Oh, I blew my nose in the direction outside the microphone.
	I can do it again if you want closer.
	Yeah, good.
	Do it closer.
	Nice.
	Here, let me try it.
	I'm congested.
	Here we go.
	That's better.
	Yet today, we saw jobless figures which are the best since he became president.
	Do you give him credit for that?
	Do you think he's doing a good job in reducing the jobless figures?
	Or how would you summarize your feelings?
	I wouldn't give him too much credit.
	Of course, everybody should be pleased that there are more jobs now than there were a month ago.
	But they're pretty puny to what we should be doing.
	But if you look at those figures and dissect them out, they're not all that glamorous.
	Because during that last month, 1.2 million people dropped out of the workforce.
	So if you get 200,000 new jobs and 1.2 dropped out, you still lost a million jobs.
	So if you take that into consideration, you can't turn these people into non-people.
	You can't fudge.
	You can't just make them into non-people.
	You can't just do that.
	Well, apparently, you can.
	The figures, and that's what politicians do.
	I understand, but I'm not going to listen to you.
	To finish that, if you do that, actually, the unemployment rate is 11%, not 8.5%.
	It went up rather than gone down.
	Isn't there a problem here, though, that if all the Republicans keep dumping on what are apparently good figures, then the...
	Already he didn't hear it.
	Apparently a good figure, but the Republicans are dumping it.
	The positivity that America needs to get itself out of recession gets stymied a bit.
	I'm going to read you a quote here, which I thought was classic.
	Can I answer that?
	He's not listening.
	He has poop in his head.
	This is from Jeb Hensarling, who's a Republican representative.
	He said, today is an indication of another failure of his president's policies.
	36 months in a row of 8% plus unemployment, which is a ludicrous way of spinning it.
	How can you say this is another example of a president getting things wrong on a day when actually the official figures, whichever way you dress them up...
	Whichever way you dress them up.
	He doesn't even understand what he's saying himself.
	Are positive.
	Isn't it better...
	It's not positive.
	Ron Paul's going to try it one more time.
	I suppose a more credible position for Republicans to say to say, I am encouraged by this, but he should have gone further.
	To me, it's more important to admit the truth.
	So if I'm speaking the truth, so we might have to compare figures.
	But let's assume for a second that I'm speaking the truth.
	Oh, that would be crazy.
	And the 200,000 new jobs was a net benefit.
	But what I'm saying is we quit counting people.
	We disavowed them.
	So if I'm speaking the truth, the most important thing is we know the truth, not as public.
	Matter of fact, You'll probably have me a hard time.
	You probably haven't heard me in a speech.
	I do talk about the president a little bit, mainly on attack on civil liberties and maybe not doing enough about the wars.
	So I'm not in that same people that say, well, the president didn't do enough.
	It's all the president's fault.
	Because it isn't.
	So, but Pierce Morgan clearly just, it's amazing to me how the guy, he's literally saying the numbers are cooked.
	And then Pierce Morgan spits it back and says, well, even if the numbers are cooked, they're still positive.
	No, he's such a bad interviewer and obviously so bigoted that I don't see how anyone watches that show.
	I mean, you can watch it once in a while, but he just seems brain dead.
	I don't see him connecting with the guests hardly ever.
	Once in a while, someone will come on and he seems to have some rapport with them.
	But generally speaking, he's just dissociated.
	It's very difficult to get an audience to like that.
	Hey, there's the 918 right on time.
	Yep, there it goes.
	Burlington Northern, they're giving you a toot.
	They're like, hey, hey you guys, you guys are wasting your...
	One of those high speed rails is actually a passenger train and it's going, looks like it's doing about 20 miles an hour.
	But he's tooting his horn just to remind us that we're wasting our time.
	There was a dog on the tracks.
	So then, very interesting, Ron Paul brought up the, which another thing we've talked about so many times, about the lie that is being propagated by everyone in government, worldwide now, particularly as it pertains to Iran, about Ahmadinejad apparently saying he wants to wipe Israel from the face of the map.
	And we know that's not what he said.
	But that's been twisted into this meme, which of course is mind control and done for a very specific reason, which is obviously to go and kill some more brown people in the sand.
	And Ron Paul lays it out very clearly.
	But this exchange...
	It's just, I'll have to play a douchebag after it.
	Assuming you become President Ron Paul, if Iran was to strike back at Israel, what would you do?
	Well, I'd go and look to the rules, and the rules are that if our national security is threatened, you explain it to the people, and then you go to the Congress and say, is our national security threatened to such a degree that we declare war against a particular country?
	If you believed that Iran had enough enriched uranium, To genuinely launch a nuclear attack against Israel, would that knowledge alone mean that you would countenance military action?
	One thing that we should set aside is there's our CIA and the Mossad.
	Israel are not arguing that they have the case.
	And even Israel said, the leader of the Mossad said, even if they had a weapon, it's not an existential threat to them.
	So you wouldn't ever countenance any preemptive strike?
	No, not really.
	Why should we?
	That's aggression.
	You should have seen Ron Paul's face when he said, that's aggression.
	What kind of douchebag Brit are you?
	We just go and kill people.
	That's not the way we operate here.
	We're not supposed to commit aggression.
	I mean, that's left for the dictators.
	But, you know, we now don't do aggression, but what we do is preemptive war.
	Preemptive war is equivalent to...
	Now listen to Morgan try and work his way into a logical conclusion to go and kill these people.
	And I think that's very dangerous.
	They have already said, Ahmadinejad has made it quite clear he believes in wiping out Israel, if he got the chance.
	If you were president in the Second World War, and you've been given knowledge the Japanese were planning Pearl Harbor, you would have preemptively struck, wouldn't you?
	Well, let me touch your first subject first, and that is quoting Ahmadinejad, because that's a misquote, but 99% of the people in the media would misquote it, and everybody in Washington believes it.
	What he actually said on the proper interpretation was that the regime in charge of Jerusalem should be removed from the pages of time.
	He did not say that Israel should be wiped from the face of the earth.
	Just think of the difference in that, removing their regime, like getting rid of our administration or something.
	Now, how do we respond to that as a true journalist?
	Should we delve into it or just ignore it?
	What do you think?
	I think we should ignore it.
	Seriously defending, aren't we, didn't we?
	No, in fact, let's attack the guy.
	You're not defending him, are you?
	I'm trying to defend honesty, and I'm trying to defend openness and willing to stop a war.
	You see him as a friend?
	Please, please, please, please, please.
	Just like John Kennedy was able to talk to Khrushchev.
	If we can talk to Khrushchev, and he had 30,000 missiles, why can't we talk to a country that doesn't have a nuclear missile?
	And according to the record, they're not on the verge of it either.
	There's a lot of Americans who may like you personally or whatever, but they think you're weak on this because of the pre-emptive issue.
	And I come back to that question I put to you.
	If you had knowledge, and you were president when Pearl Harbor happened, if you had pre-knowledge of that happening...
	Would you have attacked?
	Yeah, an imminent attack.
	We're seeing the planes come over, obviously, yes.
	An imminent attack.
	Well, I mean intelligence.
	Intelligence, it may happen.
	An imminent attack is quite different when the planes are coming versus this fiction.
	We shouldn't have such short memories.
	Now, he's going to wrap it up in 30 seconds, but he's going to do it beautifully.
	But he's making a very important point here, which you, by the way, should use at your cocktail parties.
	Everything they're saying about Iran, we said about Iraq, and they were all lies.
	And how many men died?
	8,500 Americans died.
	44,000 who come back crippled.
	No, I totally agree with you about Iraq.
	Well, this is the same principle.
	I, as a newspaper editor, yes, I was against the war in Iraq.
	As a newspaper editor back in Britain, I opposed the war in Iraq vigorously and loudly for two years.
	Then you should oppose us going into Iran.
	I think Iran is a different situation.
	Why?
	Because I think that they would, if they could, consider attacking Israel.
	And if you're America, you can't let that happen.
	And the Israelis are looking to America for leadership, aren't they?
	Why shouldn't they depend on the British?
	Why doesn't the British take care of them?
	They used to have a lot of influence up there.
	Let all the British kids go over there and die.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Send your own kids, Pierce Morgan.
	Send your kids there to go die.
	I love that.
	I love it.
	I love it.
	So instead of this guy becoming president, as we've just heard, because CNN says he won't be your next president, we're going to get this Romney douchebag.
	And his wife, 15 seconds of this, made me throw up in my mouth.
	She comes out to announce her husband, Ann Romney, and listen to what she says.
	Once again, I'm here to make sure that you listen to me this time and obey when I tell you don't clap.
	You will obey me.
	Obey me, slaves!
	Did you hear him say that?
	Yeah.
	I want you to obey me.
	As First Lady, you will obey Anne Romney.
	I want you to obey me.
	So, you can imagine, I need a bucket now in the studio here at Camp Mofo.
	To puke him!
	Where's the douchebag for Pierce Morgan?
	That's what I was waiting for.
	Oh.
	Douchebag!
	There you go.
	I feel much better.
	Much better.
	Oh, my goodness.
	So I didn't have, I didn't pay much attention to any of this crap.
	Well, I do it so you don't have to, so you can do much more important things.
	Tell me, what was on Discovery?
	Let me give you one of my clip.
	Okay, what was on Discovery channel?
	About the crappy media.
	Although I have quite a bit today about crappy media.
	Good, very good.
	That's what we do.
	Assassinate them.
	Shoot them in the head, then.
	I actually clipped this entire thing and then I decided, well, as I was listening to it and I played a piece of it to JC, I realized that the piece of it is actually better than the whole thing.
	JC is colorful.
	This is Aaron Burnett.
	You have to...
	It would be fun to play the whole thing, but it's about two and a half minutes.
	She does these editorials, because if you work on any of these shows, the producers always want these hosts to do editorials.
	Can you do an editorial every day?
	To give them credibility, and because they don't have enough fake news to report on.
	And so most people who are smart don't do them because they're really hard to do.
	And generally speaking, a lot of people can't do them at all, and I think that Erin's one of them.
	So she came up, they found a drone sign in Brooklyn, and she went into an exposition about it.
	Let's just say that our knight did.
	Our knight in New York did these drone signs.
	So we got a drone sign sitting there and she goes on and on about the drone sign and who, you know, where it came from and what it means and what.
	And she, I mean, I'm talking two minutes solid blah, blah, blah.
	And so she wraps it up with what I have here is the clip.
	And then when she gets to the final punchline, she blows it.
	She spent two and a half minutes to get to a line that she blows.
	See if you can catch it.
	The drones were watching, and they helped catch a terrorist or a murderer.
	Would we be okay with the drones then?
	Ten years after 9-11.
	Ten years after the Patriot Act.
	We're still debating how much of our freedom are we actually willing to give up to maintain American freedom.
	Let us know what you think.
	You can always tweet me at Erin Burnett, hashtag out front.
	Have a great weekend.
	No, I didn't.
	It was just dumb.
	I don't understand.
	Let me listen.
	Don't say it.
	Don't say it.
	Let me listen again.
	But if the drones were watching and they helped catch a terrorist or a murderer, would we be okay with the drones then?
	Ten years after 9-11.
	Ten years after the Patriot Act.
	We're still debating how much of our freedom are we actually willing to give up to maintain American freedom.
	Let us know what you think.
	You can always tweet me at Aaron Burnett.
	Hashtag out front.
	Have a great weekend.
	It was supposed to be American security or something.
	Yeah.
	It was supposed to be freedom.
	How much freedom are we going to give up to get more freedom?
	I mean, this makes no sense.
	She blew it.
	It was supposed to be American security.
	No beers at the corner of Pub for you, Aaron.
	And what's weird about it, I'm telling you, this was two and a half minutes to lead up to this punchline, and she blows it.
	And then she just stumbles off the stage, basically.
	It's like, whatever.
	Well, alright, it's a weekend.
	No one's watching anyway.
	I don't know, don't give a crap about this stupid show.
	Give me my check.
	I'm going to have a pizza.
	Yeah, these people are...
	It's too bad, because she's so cute.
	Yeah, but she seems...
	I don't know, maybe she's better in a conversation.
	Maybe she should have Pierce...
	You know, I would rather watch her do Pierce Morgan's job.
	Well, she was always good with the fat dead guy.
	She was color.
	She was color commentary.
	What fat dead guy?
	From CNBC. She did the morning show.
	That's where she became famous.
	Yeah, no, she did one of the shows.
	I used to do her show.
	But she was good interacting.
	She would talk to people.
	She would go back and forth.
	She would be better in Piers Morgan's job.
	They should fire him and put her in there.
	She's prettier.
	And she could sit there yakking with people all day.
	And, you know, maybe she won't make these.
	I mean, she's obviously not cut out for this.
	While we're at it, while we're working on changing CNN here at the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group, we've got to limit John King's Coke intake.
	He talks too fast and he seems to have something wrong with his nasal passage.
	He does not breathe through his nose anymore.
	He talks real fast.
	I don't know what it could be.
	And what comes out of that pie hole is just...
	It could be too much coffee, by the way.
	Possible.
	Possible.
	Well, we do have a lot of things to get to today, John.
	In fact, I think I have made a rather interesting discovery regarding the Leroy 15, which actually a number of discoveries, which I think I'd like to really kick the show off with after we thank some producers here.
	And it seems like our call-out...
	Jostle the memory of many people that we actually don't have advertising on this program and live solely by the alms and the goodness of people who consider our programming valuable and therefore provide us with donations of value.
	Right, and I hope we don't get into a feast or famine situation.
	I think that's exactly what's going to happen.
	We had a lousy...
	The last three shows, the donations were lousy.
	Last four.
	Okay, last four.
	No, no, John, it's since January 1st, so that's like...
	We had one good show in there.
	We sent a mailing out and we had that one good show.
	So we actually had one good donation segment.
	Since then, it's been nothing, and we're at the point where we've almost got no executive producers.
	We kept having, you know, these, you know, one guy.
	So now, of course, we've got a feast and famine thing since we did a real plea.
	And now we have six executive producers and 11 associate executive producers for this show.
	What?
	380.
	Well, that's good.
	We eat.
	And we have actually two members of the 380 Club, too.
	Nice.
	So let's thank all these folks for helping us.
	And I'm going to concatenate some of these comments, even though not so much here.
	We have anonymous Bob from Australia.
	Past insights from JCD and all the reading done by Adam Kareem.
	May it continue.
	I still think your model's wrong.
	You should do a pay per episode.
	We had a lot of suggestions about getting more.
	In fact, what we did on the last show got us the most.
	That's what we should do more of, which is beg.
	One hour free to attract new listeners and then pay.
	Now, we're not putting this sort of thing together.
	We've talked about this on the show a million times.
	Not going to happen.
	Maybe we should do another episode, just like a.5 episode, where we just talk about how it is that we do what we do and why it is the only way it can work.
	Yeah, we will do another.5 episode.
	I think it's a great idea.
	Anyway, he does say that, well, something worked because he's donating, and he donated $808.88.
	Wow.
	A lot of eights there, which is a good Asian number.
	Very good.
	Anyway, then he has some more suggestions.
	His donation is part of some waging winnings.
	Apparently, he won a football game or something, which I promised to donate if I came out ahead before starting out.
	Karma would be nice for some big meetings in the next week, and if you can call in OSS Karma, that would be nice.
	Keep going.
	The year is needed more than most.
	Go ahead.
	Okay, here is some OSS Karma.
	You've got karma.
	Nice.
	Sir Dwayne Melanson in Tigard, Oregon.
	Winnie the Pooh country.
	$380.83.
	Thank you.
	He may have an email message.
	I'll look it up and read it at the break.
	Sir Paul Schneider in Edmonton, Alberta.
	$380.00.
	Please credit me.
	Ask Paul Schneider.
	Put me on the birthday list for February 4th.
	Thanks for the show.
	Austin Voss in Calgary, Alberta.
	We have a lot of Canadians today.
	Both from Alberta, as a matter of fact.
	By the way, that's the richest province in Canada.
	They pay for everything.
	$350.
	Thanks for the work on this show.
	They're helping us.
	They got nothing but money.
	And that's Calgary and Edmonton.
	Those are the two great towns, by the way.
	And Edmonton has got an underground thing you can go to.
	It's like an undercity like Montreal.
	With hookers?
	I've never seen a hooker there.
	Thanks for the work on the show and hopefully the donation helps minimizing Adam's whining.
	If I could get a hit of karma, I would appreciate it.
	Sure.
	You've got karma.
	Can I just say one thing here?
	I did not whine.
	I nearly said, if the value was going at the value we were getting, then we'll have to go back to one show.
	That's a very simple equation.
	It's not whining.
	It's just being honest and forthright and saying, here's the deal.
	I'm with you.
	Scott Dawsonville in Georgia.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Scott in Dawsonville, Georgia.
	3-4-5-6-7.
	Nice number.
	Don't mention my last name.
	We didn't.
	Donating drunk again.
	I need to stop listening after Friday happy hour.
	It cost me money.
	Donate 2-3-4-5-6 last time.
	3-4-5-6-7.
	Challenge the other donors.
	Bump it up!
	Yeah!
	John, you need to try some of these North Georgia wines.
	They're damn good.
	Apparently.
	Muscadine wine.
	Is that what you're talking about?
	Adam, if you decide to dump Mickey from Hollywood, please let me know how to get in touch with Mickey.
	Wait a minute.
	Hey, it was not an or, and or.
	It was an and proposition.
	And so he says he has a VIP card from the Gold Club in Atlanta, where apparently he was a software consultant, which hasn't been a good gig.
	Isn't that a strip bar?
	Isn't the Gold Club?
	We need a road trip.
	Wrap up at the Gold Club.
	Software sold.
	Too bad the place is a parking lot now.
	It's gone, by the way.
	Long gone.
	I missed the dot-com bubble.
	Off to listen to the dark side of the moon.
	What's the status of my previous challenge?
	We don't remember it.
	We'll have to look it up now.
	Robert Slatt in Glendale, Arizona.
	333.
	Robert Slack.
	S-L-A-G-T is pronounced Slack.
	So everyone out there should note that.
	I should be getting a good tax return this year.
	By the way, we hope that some people are sending us part of their tax return.
	So I will send some your way.
	Please give me some no audit.
	Here, citizen, you have karma.
	Hold on, let me try that.
	Hey, citizen.
	You've got karma.
	Hey, citizen.
	Don't audit him.
	Okay.
	And those are our executive producers.
	We've got Sam Lung and Lung.
	Lung.
	It would be Lung or Lung.
	Toronto, Ontario, 256.52.
	Richard Reinhart, Bel Air, Texas, 250.
	He's an expat in Jakarta.
	And the show informs me on what's happening in our homeland.
	Keep up with the good work.
	And he needs a shot at karma.
	You've got karma.
	Brian Smith in Santa Clara, California, down the road from 814 in the morning.
	Love the show.
	I'd like to give the No Agenda show some money.
	He wants to give us karma for donations in the future.
	I'd like to special shout out to my friend and independent game developer, Hanford Lemore.
	I'd like to know what John thinks, knows anything about Vietnam vets or Agent Orange and the links to diabetes.
	I don't know anything.
	Thank you, Adam and John, for your hard work and great insights.
	You've got karma.
	We need to keep Adam out of the regular job market.
	Yes.
	He's the best podcast in the universe going.
	Robert Burgess in Brisbane, Queensland, 214.
	What's 214?
	We've got 214, 214, 214.
	Oh, no, 214.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	214, February 14th, Valentine's Day, 214.
	214.
	Nothing says loving like donating to no agenda.
	Nothing says I love you.
	The rate of 214.
	Yes.
	Hey, citizen.
	Hey, citizen.
	Love the show.
	Associate producer on 375.
	And your take on the media is informative and funny.
	Can I get a bush bag?
	I think he means douche bag.
	To Brendan for getting me a douche bag.
	For Brendan, for getting me hooked on the show and not donating, Brendan.
	And can I get a Hey Citizen Huntsman karma call-out?
	Okay, now this is getting complicated.
	We can only do so much.
	Well, I can try.
	I can try.
	Hey Citizen!
	You've got karma.
	It's getting hard.
	It's like they're making me work for it.
	That one doesn't work.
	Kent O'Rourke, Frostburg, Maryland, 2-12-12.
	I was going to donate this for the 2-12-12, but I gave it now because the donation has been slow so far, which is true.
	Please give a douchebag call out to all you who can give and don't.
	Douchebag!
	Anonymous in Kew Gardens, New York, 2-12-12 for the air.
	Hey, citizens, please send me a karma shout to my wife who is starting a new semester in college and can use some karma.
	So that's fine with that.
	You've got karma.
	Another 212 from Wayne Harvey, also in Brisbane.
	We should hook these two guys up.
	Yeah, they should go drinking.
	A donation coming from a former douchebag, currently just getting by in Gitmo Nation Down Under.
	Being a slave down under means I can't listen to the greatest podcast in the universe live.
	Really?
	It's at a really weird time.
	It's like in the middle of the night.
	Oh, right, right, right.
	Yeah, that's right, because every once in a while when we do it off time, the Australians listen.
	So I just listened to NA-379-er, the drone strike you dropped about.
	It was only doing one show a week due to the douchebags like me not spreading the loving.
	Made me as sick as the crap acting our politicians dish out trying to impersonate your president, Andrew Shepard.
	What?
	Who's Andrew Shepard?
	I don't know.
	Oh, okay.
	That's the Douglas movie, the Michael Douglas movie we played on the last show.
	He listens to the show mostly when I'm driving, and I often have my five-year-old human resource with me.
	She loves the show.
	Good, good.
	And after hearing the news turned to me and said, Daddy, are we douchebags?
	Douchebags.
	No!
	My human resource propagates the formula by singing Dvorak.org jingle at school and in the public, so I can't let her, or the greatest podcast in the universe, I can't let her down, so the greatest podcast in the universe needs to, so the, he's got this sentence structure.
	I know it's asking for a lot of first-time donor, but I also need MILF for my smoking hot woman.
	I'm emptying out my PayPal account and Hey, you know, you're cutting out a lot.
	As in, I just lost you.
	I knew that was going to happen.
	Did I lose contact?
	No.
	Hello?
	Yeah.
	Let me see.
	Internet connection problem.
	There's a problem with the internet connection between you and...
	Hold on while we try to get the call back.
	Hey, I'm back, kind of.
	Did you call me or did it just happen automatically?
	No, I got this internet connection problem.
	There's a problem with the internet or something.
	I got that too, but now you're like low bit rate.
	Low frequency.
	You're back, you're back, you're back.
	Hold on, I'm going to do it here.
	I'm going to do it.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	How tight was that?
	There's a line there I could use, but I won't.
	Fish guy in Missoula, Montana, $201.
	Fish guy, please, no real names.
	I don't want to blow my security clearance.
	It's probably toast already, but it helps to make a good show.
	Well, this is good.
	We've got sysadmins everywhere who have security clearance, and they're still propagating the formula.
	Appreciate it.
	David C. Pugh in North Canton, Ohio.
	Yeah, put a bumper sticker on the computer.
	$200.
	ITM, this should top off my knighthood.
	Sorry, but one show a week does not work for me.
	I'm going to need from all you douchebag boners to get off your wallet and donate.
	P.S., if you give the Patriots some...
	No!
	No, not going to happen.
	Let me just say this.
	I'm going to bring this up.
	I know Adam doesn't like football, but I'm going to mention this one time, one time only.
	The confluence of fractals in this Super Bowl indicates that the Patriots can't lose the game.
	Okay.
	Now, first of all, let me state that we are now denying $100 extra.
	As he promised if we give the Patriots karma, but we don't do football karma, so we're not going to do that.
	Second, I would like to say, how dare you say I don't like football?
	I heard you on Twitch saying, oh, just have Adam out.
	He doesn't give me a crap about football.
	I watch one game a year.
	I watch the Super Bowl.
	I enjoy it immensely.
	I love it for the television values, and I would not give anything up to watch that.
	And third, Giants are going to win.
	Here's the fractals.
	The fractals are simple.
	Besides, this will complete the final undefeated season, which doesn't exist anymore, but it's a karmic thing.
	The fractals are as follows.
	Peyton Manning and Eli Manning are brothers, and they have followed the exact same career path.
	Peyton won one Super Bowl and lost one Super Bowl.
	Eli's won one Super Bowl.
	He has yet to lose a Super Bowl.
	The fractal indicates he'll lose this game.
	The second one is that Tom Brady, who has his eyes on being a clone of Joe Montana, has won three Super Bowls and to complete the fractal...
	Wait a minute.
	He has to win the fourth.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	That's what I'm saying.
	That's why you don't like football.
	But anyone out there listening knows what I said, and that's the way this thing is.
	I like watching a bunch of guys with tight pants running around a field.
	There's nothing wrong with that.
	Yeah, that's my curious thing.
	All right, let's get our last stat out of the way.
	You missed one person, right?
	Yeah, I'm going to do them now.
	So anyway, that's why they don't need karma.
	This is a done deal, fractal-wise.
	Joshua Polson in Ridgefield, or actually Shergall, in Ridgefield, Washington.
	She's in the chat room with Shergall.
	$200.
	Another note on the Panetta interview.
	You can't fire back at someone holding a gun to your head because they have not fired.
	In other words, when threatened, escalate.
	Yeah.
	Well, someone...
	See, unlike...
	See, you could be better than Pierce Morgan because you actually listen to what the person is saying.
	Thank you very much.
	Not you.
	All right.
	So we highly appreciate this.
	This is very good.
	This will definitely keep us on our two-show regimen, and that's the way it's got to go.
	Well, hold on a second.
	You know, this is one...
	Like, again, Feaster Family.
	You said you wanted to see what the numbers were for February.
	Yeah.
	We just began.
	We got two or three more shows.
	Four more shows, I think.
	But I'm being very encouraged and positive, if you don't mind.
	I guess if you want to be.
	I'm very encouraged.
	I think I want to really thank everyone who stepped up and helped us out on this show because it made a difference.
	I'm telling you, the numbers came in.
	They were really bad last show.
	I mean, bad, bad.
	I've missed Mickey like, well, forget it.
	She's like, I can't believe, when she was in Holland, she was getting free stuff from designers.
	She lives with me.
	She shops at H&M. She's like, do I really have to downgrade to Old Navy?
	Like, yeah, you know, their stuff ain't all that bad.
	Certain women, and I would include her easily, they can wear anything.
	That's what I tell her.
	You can wear a garbage bag, honey.
	In fact, I got you a whole new wardrobe.
	Look at this box.
	You know, the rest of it is just a label.
	It's bullcrap.
	I mean, Old Navy, you see those Old Navy commercials.
	A lot of these, you see these models walking around in some of these.
	You know that most people don't look that good in Old Navy clothes.
	I've got to tell you, I've sunk so low that I got a voiceover agent to try and do commercials, which I've never been successful at.
	But they send me like two auditions a day.
	And I swear to God, I'm getting stuff like Old Navy.
	They try to match up the voice.
	I'd love to hear your voice on a voiceover.
	Old Navy.
	You should do that surfer voice with kind of the joyous sound.
	No, they ask me to do the Old Navy thing, and yesterday I did one, and I haven't gotten a gig yet, but I'm like, I've got to be able to support my family.
	Leo gets these gigs all the time.
	I know!
	Because you know, I think you can hear in my voice, I just can't be serious about, you might have a drinking problem, talk to your chaplain.
	I'm like, ah!
	How insincere am I going to be?
	Do you want to hear that one?
	Do you want to hear it?
	Because I think I have it.
	Hold on a second.
	This will be funny.
	Because I sent it yesterday.
	Hold on a second.
	Drinking problem.
	This is how bad it got, by the way.
	Hold on.
	Auditions.
	Here we go.
	Ha ha ha.
	Yeah, Filmhouse should...
	Hold on, it just has to load up.
	Here we go.
	Adam Curry, Vox Agency, should for Filmhouse, Inc.
	Already you're like, this guy ain't gonna get the gig.
	Even that slate is no good.
	Alright, here we go.
	Filmhouse, Inc.
	People come into my bar to have a good time, and luckily I'm around to make sure things don't get out of hand if someone has too good of a time.
	If someone's had enough, I cut them off.
	It's best for everyone.
	But what about people who aren't under my watch?
	You know, some people think just because they don't go out to bars or clubs that they're not at risk for a drinking problem.
	If they're having more than a couple of drinks a day, it could be a problem, even if they're doing it at home.
	They might ought to talk to someone or see the chaplain.
	Okay.
	And since I'm not around to cut him off, maybe you could help me get the word out.
	Okay?
	I mean, I'm not going to get that gig.
	You know, ladies and gentlemen, save Adam from this fate worse than death.
	And of course, you can always go out and propagate the formula.
	That will bring in new donors for sure.
	The formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	All right.
	Now, just to prove that we have some real value for value, I did a lot of work in these past few days.
	And I'd like to jump right into it, if that's okay with you, because I did some investigation.
	I did another reading of some official documents.
	It's really turned into a hobby for me, by the way.
	But reading boring crap?
	Yes, and I'm really good at it.
	I hate it.
	I hate to say it, but I can parse through stuff so quickly.
	What a newfound talent, just discovered in the last year.
	Actually, I discovered this when I was going through my divorce.
	I couldn't afford a lawyer.
	Oh.
	And so what I did is I did all the legal work myself.
	And the internet makes it quite easy because when someone says family code section 805, you just like, you know, you go to Google and you search it and like, there it is.
	And just read, right?
	If you can read it, then you might have to...
	And you were getting feedback from the other attorneys that...
	That I had a whole team.
	Yeah, you had a team.
	They thought I had a whole team.
	He has a whole team of legal experts.
	It's clear.
	By the way, this really makes you wonder.
	Mm-hmm.
	Exactly.
	And that's not a joke.
	I mean, there's no way.
	I had a lawyer for like three weeks, and I got a $2,500 bill.
	I'm like, I can't do this.
	It's just not going to happen.
	So I did it all myself, and everything's signed.
	It's all done.
	It is official now, actually.
	The judges stamped it, and so that's why I could ask Miss Mickey to marry me.
	Fool.
	So anyway, so there's all kinds of interesting documents floating around.
	And I've got to set this up.
	This, of course, is about the Leroy 15, which, interestingly enough, has now expanded to almost 20.
	And these are these girls, for those of you who are new to the program, who all of a sudden developed Tourette-like, Tourette's syndrome-like tics, and I'm kind of an expert in that because I have that, although I don't have the, not much of the yelling dirty words in public thing, but I have all the rest.
	And I'm quite convinced that this, because it's girls, because they're in school, because they're of the perfect age, and because I've been following this Gardasil HPV vaccination for such a long time, I am absolutely convinced that this is an adverse effect to Gardasil.
	Or something in the shot.
	Yes, exactly.
	Exactly.
	And the media, who are, of course, whores of the pharmaceutical industry, if you just watch television and just pay attention to commercials, it's all pharmaceutical ads.
	Almost everything is related.
	Every other break you're going to have, maybe every break, you're going to have a pharmaceutical advertisement.
	So they have to cover this up.
	And the media is complicit in this, and I can now start to prove this.
	But the first thing that they're doing is they are trying to discredit anything that points towards Gardasil.
	And what's interesting is that, and the document I'm about to share with you, they have not tested any other vaccination.
	Whereas I think it would be very fair to say maybe we should check for swine flu or the flu vaccine because it seems like those are being handed out for free, like candy everywhere.
	They didn't even test that.
	So it's kind of, you know, jumping out off any page that they're only checking for one vaccine and nothing else.
	But of course they brought in Aaron Brockovich.
	To continue the cover-up, and she's just a whore going after any money she can get.
	I'm sorry if you like Julia Roberts in the movie.
	That's not necessarily the persona that Aaron Brockovich is.
	Here's NBC with Brian Williams doing their bit to a cover-up, and then we'll get into the discovery.
	For the first time since symptoms started appearing in teenage girls in this small town, a 36-year-old woman not associated with Leroy High School is being treated for severe tics and Tourette's-like symptoms.
	So what they have to do here is they have to say, oh, it's not just these girls.
	Now we have a 36-year-old woman, and they bring out this woman.
	Is it hard to walk?
	Well, my whole right side is affected.
	Marge Fitzsimmons is a local mom and a licensed nurse practitioner.
	This is really scary.
	It's like somebody came in and took home away.
	Now a team of environmentalists headed up by activist Erin Brockovich believes the growing problem may stem from a train derailment near the school more than 40 years ago.
	So they're still on this whole, oh, it must be chemicals, it must be something in the water.
	And this woman, she has a version of Tourette's.
	It's not at all like the tics that these girls have.
	And I'm sorry, I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert.
	I can see someone with a tic or Tourette's from a mile away.
	And actually, we recognize each other.
	It's like a secret club.
	It's like the TV new drama series, Grimm.
	I don't know that.
	People who see that don't get that joke.
	Yeah, we literally, you know, like a waiter, we're in a restaurant.
	Sometimes I don't, but usually, you know, I'll look at them and go like, it's okay, man.
	I know what you mean.
	Look at me.
	So don't worry about it.
	And actually, when you relax, then it gets better.
	It's more about the fear of people noticing it.
	So this woman, this is not the same.
	It is not the same, and I can say that from my own 40 years of experience.
	It started when I was seven.
	Now, here's where it gets very interesting.
	The health department, the New York State Health Department, released a document.
	This was released January 31st, 2012.
	And it is their findings in the investigation of neurologic symptoms amongst Leroy High School students.
	And this is the interim report, October 2011 to January 2012.
	And I'll just tell you, just a spoiler right off the bat.
	I'll go to the end here and I'll give you the conclusion.
	The healthcare providers and publicitarians and public health agencies involved in this investigation consider this cluster of cases to be the result of conversion disorder slash mass psychogenic illness.
	Mass psychogenic illness has been defined as a group of symptoms suggestive of organic disease but without an identified cause in a group of individuals with shared beliefs about the cause of the symptoms.
	Outbreaks of mass psychogenic illness affects females more than males.
	So they're basically saying these girls are crazy.
	That's what it is.
	Please, nothing to see here.
	They have mass hysteria, similar to if you know someone is throwing up, you might have to throw up.
	That's basically what it is if you look into the definition.
	So they're going to summarize first about tics.
	Now here's some background information.
	Tics are repeated involuntary twitches, movements, or sounds.
	Isolated and transient tics are common amongst children, affecting up to 20% of the school-age population.
	Did you know that?
	20%?
	Seems high.
	It seems extremely high to me.
	I mean, I was the only kid in a school of several thousand.
	A collaborative investigation by New York State Department of Health, New York State officials of mental health, Gen C County Health Department, Leroy Blola, and here it is, found no infectious or environmental ideologies.
	Three students had illnesses associated with tick symptoms predating their attendance at the school, which is interesting.
	So we can kind of take them out of the equation, which is very key to the numbers when it gets down to it.
	The primary findings were that there were no infectious or environmental or public health concerns related to this cluster of students.
	While preparing this report, the Department of Health learned of three additional students with possible tick syndromes there under investigation.
	So you can take away six So now we're getting down to a very, very small number.
	In fact, 12 students were evaluated by WorkFit Medical and 8 of the 12 were evaluated by Dent Neurological Institute.
	This is where it gets very interesting.
	So I looked at these two companies.
	I'm like, you know, well, who exactly is the WorkFit Medical?
	Now, if you look at WorkFit Medical, LLC, this is...
	I mean, they don't even say...
	It doesn't seem like they belong to some other larger organization.
	Essentially, they provide occupational health services.
	One of the things they actually do is provide your company with immunizations.
	And if you look at the website, workfitmedical.com...
	As far as I can tell, it's just a small group of doctors who have a practice.
	Occupational Health Services.
	If you look at the About WorkFit, it's JLEMD, 16 years of emergency medical room.
	She basically has four locations in Western New York.
	It's a clinic, and they go and they say, okay, it's all good.
	So to me, that's not like the Mayo Clinic or something, right?
	You with me?
	Yeah.
	No, keep going.
	We're ready for the punchline.
	Here it comes.
	So now we go to Dent.
	Dent.
	Very interesting as it's...
	Let me just get my document here.
	So again, they talked about Dent Medical, the Dent Neurological Institute.
	Here's a little news piece I found speaking to one of the doctors, and he sounds extremely nervous, and he's not happy about being involved in this whatsoever.
	Sorry.
	Scott, Dr.
	Laszlo Metzler is a world-renowned neurologist who is based at the Dent Institute in Amherst.
	He says a lot of the hysteria surrounding this issue is coming from people who have not examined the students or who have theories that have just not panned out medically.
	I'm trying to bring some sanity into this insanity.
	Dr.
	Metzler says that for a long time, he and his colleagues at Dent did not publicize the cases which were diagnosed months ago because he was afraid of exactly what's happened now.
	This is interesting.
	First of all, he said...
	I was afraid about the sanity of this insanity.
	Listen to the words very carefully.
	A kind of hysteria that's been fueled by publicity seekers and those on cable TV. Metzler says the three latest cases are very similar to the existing ones.
	I can say, as most of the other patients, they're girls, young girls, obviously in the early teens.
	So, similar symptoms, similar town, many of them know each other.
	Are adolescent girls somehow more susceptible to this sort of thing?
	They are, and I'm not sure if we know why.
	Why are you so confident about ruling out any environmental factors?
	Half of them are already getting significantly improved.
	So it cannot be an environmental fact.
	It can be a toxin in the brain.
	Then why are they improving?
	Number one.
	Number two, there's no toxin that would cause these symptoms.
	The TCE brought up with the national media does not cause symptoms like this.
	Now, I just want to stop here for one second.
	According to the New York State Health Department, their own research, I'm reading it right here on the PDF, they cite an example of a five-year-old Chinese boy Who developed exactly these symptoms when he overdosed on mercury, which was contained in some form of allergy medicine that he snorted too much of.
	So mercury, according to their own document, the same document I'm reading right here, can actually cause these symptoms.
	And of course mercury is often used as an adjuvant.
	It's not an adjuvant, it's a preservative.
	Preservative, sorry.
	Didn't he say TCE specifically, though, which is trichetchloroethylene?
	That's the stuff that Brockovich is going after, the TCE. So he's pushing aside the fact that he's actually lying because there are toxins that will make this tick-like behavior happen, which is mercury.
	Now let's continue.
	We think we've ruled out everything, environmental, autoimmune, vaccination-related.
	Vaccination-related?
	No.
	You haven't ruled it out.
	You've only ruled out Gardasil, which is the kicker.
	And to back up what Dr.
	Metzler just said, within the last half hour, the state health department has put out this statement.
	And what it says is that it has not found any infectious or environmental causes for the students' illnesses.
	Now, interestingly, Dr.
	Metzler did tell me that recently a parent came in with her daughter believing she, too, had conversion disorder.
	But when Dr.
	Metzler examined the girl, he found that...
	Out in this particular case that the girl actually did have a case of tics.
	So, let's go to the document.
	Now, we can already rule out 6, if not 8 of the 15, because they are not in the study about Gardazil.
	And again, they only checked for Gardazil.
	Here it is.
	Two of the three cases who were tick-free for a period of time experienced an exacerbation of tick syndromes during this time period.
	I'm sorry, here we go.
	According to the New York State Immunization Information System, seven of the cases, so we've already ruled out almost all of the other ones, so they're saying not all the girls had it, but they actually say we didn't count those girls because they had tick syndromes and things before we did this study.
	Seven of the cases received Gardazil.
	Five cases received the recommended three doses, while two cases received two of three doses.
	It's very, very complicated.
	The PDFs in the show notes, you've got to read it.
	Six of seven cases who received Gardazil had onset of tick syndromes greater than one year after their last dose of the vaccine.
	One case received her third dose after her tick symptoms onset.
	Here's the conclusion.
	There is no temporal relationship between vaccine administration and symptom onset that could be identified.
	What?
	Yes, I'm going to read that one more time because I looked up the word.
	There is no temporal relationship between vaccine administration and symptom onset that could be identified.
	The word temporal is the key here.
	They're saying temporal pertains to time.
	So they're saying because they studied when these ticks started and a couple of these girls had the vaccine more than a year ago, therefore there is no relationship in time between the vaccine administration and the symptoms.
	They're not saying there is no relationship between the administration of the vaccine and the symptoms.
	They're saying there's no temporal relationship.
	That to me is the smoking gun.
	Now let me blow your mind.
	Guess who works at the Dent Neurological Institute?
	Okay, go.
	Sanjay Gupta.
	The same guy that's reporting on this for CNN? And saying that they're just insane.
	He's right there on the website.
	Sanjay Gupta, award-winning doctor.
	This is a cover-up of Epic Proportion.
	I think you could have started with this part.
	Not everyone listens to the show for five years.
	You need to set it up a little bit.
	But I think that the temporal...
	They're not saying that there's no relationship.
	No, they're saying no temporal relationship.
	So, well, that's not, yeah, well, this is not, the way I'm listening to this, even though I think it could have started with the punchline, and by the way, according to Merriam-Webster, I'll just give you the definition of temporal, of or relating to time as opposed to eternity, of or relating to earthly life, and then the rest of it is...
	Right, so the way I read it, Is girls who develop these tick-like syndromes who had Gardazil more than a year ago, we just discount that.
	There's no temporal relationship.
	They're saying, well, if it's more than a year ago, then it can't possibly have anything to do with it.
	But coincidentally, they all had Gardasil shots.
	Is that what you're saying?
	The ones that actually mattered, not the ones they discounted because they already had tick-like syndromes, etc.
	The girls who had the ones that we've isolated as the ones that somehow out of the blue have gotten this problem have all had Gardasil.
	Exactly.
	Which means, of course, that the vaccine could be interacting with something else, you know, like X number of glasses of milk.
	Who knows?
	But it seems like a weird coincidence that the only girls who've got this problem have had the shot.
	Yes.
	And it's growing.
	It's growing.
	Well, I don't see why anybody would get this shot, to be honest about it.
	Well, because doctors are paid to sell it to you.
	I mean, even Mickey, who is not a teenage girl, her doctor tried to say, you know, you really should consider the Gardasil shot.
	Mickey's like, yeah, I think I'll go shoot myself first!
	They're paid to do it, John.
	They're paid.
	That's why.
	This is the reason you don't want...
	I mean, these sorts of doctors, you should not go to them.
	Now, I'm doing more research because there was one other instance of this mass hysteria happening.
	And it happened in 1939 in Bellevue, Louisiana.
	And that was the last time we had a diagnosis of mass hysteria.
	And so it's hard to delve into it.
	Google doesn't really go back to 1939.
	Barely goes back to 1999.
	I don't know.
	Was there a different type of immunization scheme that started off in 1939 that you can remember?
	Sorry.
	Really, the immunization thing was pretty minor back then, I'm assuming.
	You can look it up in the old archives of the New York Times.
	I'm sure you can find the data.
	It's still out there.
	I mean, the New York Times is a great archive.
	I have a subscription so I can get you into the pay for archives.
	Would it kill you to do some work?
	No, I don't feel like it.
	Germany began diphtheria vaccinations in 1939.
	That doesn't help so much.
	Yeah, that doesn't help.
	But that was...
	And it's only happened in that one place.
	Yes.
	University began selling the vaccine in 1939.
	Interesting.
	There is a lot of stuff here in the...
	I would be more suspicious of government experimentation on the public when it's a little isolated in the middle of Nowheresville, Louisiana.
	It sounds like something they would do.
	Western equine encephalitis.
	Encephalitis.
	Yeah, that.
	Encephalitis.
	That's what the vaccine was for.
	A horse disease.
	Well, yeah, if you're shooting kids up with horse tranquilizer, a horse vaccine, that doesn't sound good.
	All right, well, enough.
	Anyway, nice to know that Sanjay Gupta's on the case.
	They hired one agency, not Mayo Clinic, not National Institute of Health, no, the Dent Neurological Institute, which happens to contain doctors on the take, including Sanjay Gupta.
	And the guy is not disclosing this, by the way.
	I haven't heard him say, oh, by the way, I'm a member of the company that is doing the investigation.
	I'd never heard him say that.
	Maybe Pierce Morgan should interview him.
	Yeah.
	Good.
	Anyway, on the case protecting you, consumer watchdog Adam Curry, everybody.
	So I'm watching, meanwhile, I'm watching Sky and the UK. Groovy.
	And I'm telling you, the reporting on the situation in Syria and Egypt, both, is so staged.
	Oh, yeah.
	I know.
	And the Sky stuff was really bad.
	I mean, I have a couple of reports here if you want to play some of them.
	Yeah, that's Rupert Murdoch, of course.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And...
	The Syria stuff is really big.
	I don't have the best Syria clip I could have had and unfortunately I can't back these things up so I have to record the entire broadcast and then hope I catch something because it's just over the internet.
	But a good example is Syria reporting on Sky UK.
	Play a little of this and you'll see how they try to dramatize everything.
	Wait, this is YouTube footage, right?
	It's not professional-grade video.
	I can already tell by the sound, right?
	It's...
	They don't...
	He actually explains they don't know what the hell it is.
	But they trust it.
	Yeah.
	It came in the darkness.
	A sustained barrage of water and artillery rounds smashing into districts of Homs.
	Leveling buildings, killing and wounded scores of people.
	Killing kittens!
	Come on!
	Come on!
	We can't verify this amateur video, but we have no reason to doubt its authenticity, nor the eyewitness reports from inside the battlefield.
	The Al Khalidia district of the city took the brunt of the attack.
	The streets reverberating to the sounds of explosions and gunfire.
	An intense offensive against a civilian housing area where opposition is strong.
	The sound of explosions didn't stop until this moment.
	Man, the number of people there were killed.
	Bars are 230.
	You can hear now the sound of explosion and the sound of bullets.
	The people here are going and running out of their houses.
	You know what?
	Because they are shooting from far distance of the neighborhood.
	The dead and the injured soon overwhelmed the few field hospitals sat up over the past 10 months to treat people who can't risk going to the main hospital.
	Thank you. - Neighboring mosques are now being used for triage and for keeping the bodies of the dead.
	It's unclear why such an offensive would take place as the United Nations considers a vote condemning the actions of the Syrian government.
	Well, there's your punchline.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Of course.
	Why didn't somebody add two and two?
	Why are they doing it now just as the UN is trying to vote to condemn them?
	Because they're not.
	This is a scam.
	So this was...
	I've actually seen this video on CNN, the exact same report with the exact same guy.
	Now I'm pissed off because I was like, you know, I didn't pull the clips.
	I also saw it on...
	Euro news, I think.
	And the New York Times did exactly the same thing.
	This is the New York Times, the paper of record, the Ministry of Truth.
	Syrian government forces used a barrage of mortar shells and heavy machine gun fire.
	In an assault that began Friday night in the central city of Holmes, killing at least 200 people, wounding hundreds more opposition activists reported on Saturday.
	So they're getting this from opposition activists, not from journalists.
	And it says the reports could not be independently confirmed.
	But it appeared to be the bloodiest episode in the nearly 11-month-old uprising.
	As word spread via Twitter, opposition protests broke out Saturday at Syrian embassies around the world, including Egypt, Germany, and Kuwait.
	And then we get our president.
	And We must work.
	I'm not going to do it.
	I'll just read it.
	We must work with the Syrian people towards building a brighter future for Syria.
	A Syria without Assad could be a Syria in which all Syrians are subject to the rule of law and where minorities are able to exercise their legitimate rights, uphold their identities and traditions while acting as a fully enfranchised citizen.
	Citizens!
	Citizens!
	In a unified republic.
	The United States and our international partners.
	Support the Syrian people in achieving their aspirations and will continue to assist the Syrian people towards that goal.
	We will help because we stand for principles that include universal rights for all people and just political and economic reform.
	The suffering citizens of Syria must know we are with you and the Assad regime must come to an end.
	And Lucifer even tried to get everything all hooked up at the UN but failed.
	Russia and China have vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling on Syria's President Assad to stand down.
	The United States said the vote has increased the risk of more bloodshed and civil war in Syria.
	Russia had said earlier that the Western Arab-backed resolution was an improper attempt at regime change.
	Exactly.
	And he's not lying.
	The draft resolution as put to the vote didn't adequately reflect the real state of affairs in Syria and it sent an unbalanced signal to the Syrian parties.
	Of course, because we know it's fake.
	The co-sponsors of the resolution haven't taken into account the wording for the draft that we proposed, to the effect that the Syrian opposition must distance itself from extremist groups which are carrying out acts of violence, and we called upon states and all those who have the relevant opportunities to use their influence to put an end to such acts.
	Bring in Clippany Claw!
	Earlier in Munich, the U.S. Secretary of State and the Russian Foreign Minister had met, But the talks had failed to overcome Moscow's misgivings.
	As I said at the United Nations on Tuesday, to block this resolution is to bear responsibility for the horrors that are occurring on the ground in Syria.
	Which we cannot confirm.
	Which nobody can confirm.
	Nobody can confirm.
	The Russians can confirm it's not happening.
	At least that's what they say.
	But I thought the whole thing was so staged to give it to the Russians and the Chinese to veto it because they knew they were going to do that.
	And then Powell, Rice, your pal was Susan Rice.
	We're disgusted.
	I want to throw up.
	It's so horrible.
	I'm disgusted.
	Yeah, she went on and on.
	I wish I had to clip it.
	I only heard it on the radio.
	It was like, oh my God, this woman is just showboating.
	I didn't even clip it.
	I thought for sure you would have it.
	I didn't get it.
	I got it off.
	I heard it.
	I didn't get it.
	Well, hold on a second.
	I'll play it for you.
	She's disgusted.
	I'm disgusted.
	It's all fake.
	She's not disgusted.
	She's happy she doesn't have to be the one that vetoed it.
	She's a liar.
	She's just a liar.
	They're all liars.
	And then the president comes out with a statement.
	I think I have it here.
	This is Rice being disgusted.
	I shall now put the draft resolution to the vote.
	Vote.
	Who's this guy?
	He's French.
	How come the French guy gets to talk?
	Yeah, hold on.
	Where's Rice?
	Hold on.
	Here we go.
	Back a little.
	There we go.
	Rice.
	Russia, China.
	Of killing brown people in deserts!
	Addressing an ever-deepening crisis in Syria and a growing threat.
	By the way, I think she's like four foot nine.
	How come she never mentions Bahrain?
	We know for a fact that hell's breaking loose there and it's been stomped down by the Arab forces from Saudi Arabia.
	That's never mentioned once.
	It was only mentioned on Democracy Now.
	Hello, because the Formula One is going to Bahrain.
	We don't want to mess up our seats.
	Oh, I didn't realize Formula One's headed there.
	And no sooner had we ended the show on Thursday, when I think I literally said, this means war is coming.
	Boom!
	Panetta.
	Now we know why Panetta was all over the press, because he needed a little bit of attention to then come out and say, I'm not going to report on the fact that I know that Israel wants to go attack Iran, but I'm not commenting on it.
	And then everyone goes nuts.
	I mean, the whole world goes crazy about Iran.
	Oh, Iran.
	They're going to kill us.
	Oh, Israel's going to go.
	They're going to go in.
	Here's the thing that bothered me most about this little theater of late is the character who comes out of...
	Well, here, play Iran's bogus missile and then we'll discuss it.
	Yeah, I love this.
	A top Israeli official is claiming a missile site destroyed in an explosion last year was producing missiles capable of reaching the United States.
	Moshe Yadon, Israel's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Strategic Affairs, made the assertion in a speech on Thursday.
	The explosion in the research and development installation for the Iranian missile system was for a system that was preparing to produce or develop a missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers.
	This is for the great Satan, the United States, America, and not us.
	And therefore, it's not just a threat against Israel.
	So when we reach the discussion of a nuclear weapon in the hands of this regime, we need to look at it within this perspective.
	U.S. officials have cast doubt on Yatlon's claims, saying Iran is nowhere close to producing missiles capable of hitting U.S. soil.
	The only thing that's wrong there is it's not for the great Satan.
	It's for the great Lucifer.
	That's what they should be saying.
	It's for Hillary Clinton.
	They're not going to do that.
	So this guy, whose real name is Molanski, he changed his name to Yalan because he joined some group.
	It was like a club.
	And he's essentially this war hawk.
	He's been in there, and he's not some slouch.
	He's the vice prime minister and the minister of strategic affairs, and he's coming up with this bull crap.
	Don't forget, Iran's the country that sent off these missiles, you know, some crappy missiles that they had to Photoshop, you know, that launched, so they could show that they had more than one that actually got off the ground.
	I mean, these people aren't developing any missile technology.
	No.
	So this is an out-and-out lie.
	Yeah.
	But if I look at all the pieces on the chessboard, so of course we want Syria.
	Strategically, there's a lot of good reasons to have Syria.
	No, who's we?
	I don't think we want Syria.
	I think it's all bluster because we've already made the agreement with the Russians through Exxon that it's their operation and they get to keep it.
	And we're just trying to make it look as if, I think the whole thing's a charade.
	We don't want it.
	Not Syria.
	There's nothing there for us.
	I'm going to agree with you.
	I'm going to say why.
	This is the get-out-of-jail-free card for the Russians and the Chinas.
	When we go and bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.
	That's why.
	So Russia can say, look, we had nothing to do with it.
	But the Iran thing, that's real.
	They really, really, really want it.
	And they're going to go get it.
	Well, somebody's going to do something that's not a good thing.
	And we're going to go kill people, for sure.
	And maybe, you know, if you look at it, just, you know, we've got Georgia.
	So Georgia's now on board.
	That's why Shakasvili was eating his tie there in Washington.
	Because that'll be a strategic launching pad from which to launch whatever we want to go from the other side and go get it right.
	Just look at the map, you know, and then you can see it.
	No, it's very obvious.
	And the sad thing is that people are like Pierce Morgan.
	Like, well, yeah, you know, hey, preempt him.
	We've got to go kill him.
	Crazy?
	You can't have a firecracker.
	He'll kill you.
	Well, the pressure, the obvious media and political pressure to do something, but Ron Paul's the only one apparently resisting this.
	Everybody else is on board.
	Everybody else is buying it, although I can't believe they actually believe it.
	So there is some alternative...
	There's something going on, I think.
	I mean, it's not just about the oil in Iran.
	They've got some, but they haven't got anything like Iraq.
	I mean, there's a missing piece.
	No, I think it's those pipelines.
	I think that's what we're missing, John.
	It could be the pipelines.
	Pipelines are big.
	Well, the pipelines have to be, and these are coming from Russia, by the way.
	The pipelines from Russia that bypassed Poland, they had to kill all the Polish government to make that happen, and that's to go feed Europe.
	We want Europe dependent on Russia, which, of course, is also American oil.
	All the deals are in place, as you pointed out.
	But we have to remove Iran from the equation.
	I think it's...
	And Mr.
	Oil, actually, he should write up a blog post or something.
	He probably knows.
	But he probably doesn't want to play his hand because everyone will start speculating.
	But there's so many pipelines.
	It's all about the pipelines.
	Not just the oil, but the distribution.
	And, of course, where it comes from.
	I don't think it's so much that we want their oil, although that would be nice at the end.
	Because it's a bonus.
	But we want...
	To stop oil flowing from Iran to Europe through the strait.
	Because then we can sell more through the Russian pipeline.
	That, to me, is the only reason.
	I mean, what else?
	So that would explain Russia's being on board with this current theater and playing the bad guy.
	They've done it before.
	They don't mind it.
	And the Chinese, of course, are just idiots.
	So who knows what they're thinking.
	Hey, wait a minute.
	Don't we need a pipeline through Syria?
	Hold on a second.
	I bet you that has to do with it.
	So the Russians probably said, look, we'll give you your damn pipeline.
	Hold on.
	Let me see.
	Pipeline Syria.
	Book of knowledge.
	That's all gas.
	Yeah, it could be.
	I'm thinking the Syria-Turkey pipeline.
	Of course, that would make sense with Turkey joining the EU. Syria gives in a Fox News article, Syria claims terrorists blow up pipeline.
	So there's pipelines everywhere, but how important is it?
	And what's the Russian connection?
	Because they are the ones with that port.
	And...
	Yeah, it would be quite amusing to set up the EU as totally dependent on Russian oil, which we've been heading in that direction.
	Two years ago we discussed this possibility.
	I have a report, 20 seconds, that might help us.
	Iran will cut oil exports to what it calls hostile European states to pre-empt an EU embargo due to come into force on July 1st.
	Oil Minister Rostam Hassemi gave no indication on timing nor on which countries Tehran would target.
	Now that's Euronews, so obviously that's propaganda.
	And there's no evidence other than a voiceover that tells me what's being said.
	And what's with the stinger music all of a sudden on Euronews?
	Oh, there's stinger music on everything now.
	Our local news now has stingers.
	We should do more of that.
	Yeah, we need to do more stingers.
	We haven't got any good stingers.
	That one's not the best.
	That's my favorite.
	Yeah, that's kind of like it.
	I guess we could use that one.
	We need more little hits and stuff.
	We need little swishes and things.
	What was that thing you had the other day?
	Oh yeah, I got it.
	Here it is.
	It has to follow something I say.
	And Adam, that's the way it's...
	Wait, wait, wait.
	You don't have it cued?
	Yeah, okay.
	Go ahead.
	And Adam, that's how it's going to end.
	On to weather now.
	We have more motherships falling out of the skies.
	Yeah, I think we should just use that between every single topic.
	So much for Iran.
	John, you have something on Egypt.
	More false news, I believe.
	Right now we're going to go over to Berkeley, California.
	John C. Dvorak is standing by.
	Might be overusing it.
	But we do have something on Egypt.
	We have a bunch of weird stuff that happened.
	I thought this was kind of interesting.
	And then I looked into this guy, Amir Moussa, who is the head of the Arab League.
	And I'm listening to a report on CNN. It's one of these panels where this guy is discussing for a think tank.
	So the guy is discussing something that he thought was an anomaly.
	And then after I looked into it, it is not really an anomaly at all.
	This guy, Amir Moussa, was trying to oust Amir.
	Mubarak, and he is actually running for president as we speak.
	He's the head of the Arab League, and he's an anti-Israelite.
	As far as he's concerned, Assad's great, so that makes some sense with the way the Arab League is handling Syria.
	But when I heard this, I went, why would this one guy do what he did in terms of his take on the Egyptian revolution?
	Engagement and really sowed this feeling of helplessness in the people.
	I mean, as as dictators go, he wasn't Saddam Hussein.
	He wasn't Hafiz al-Assad.
	He wasn't Gaddafi.
	There will be no mass graves being unearthed in Egypt.
	But he really sort of killed their spirit.
	And it took a while.
	But I mean, people just lost faith in themselves.
	And so one of the immediately before the revolution started, the Arab League had a summit in Sharmashik, an economic summit.
	And it was it was right after Tunisia and right before Egypt.
	And Egyptians were starting to set themselves on fire.
	You had that very disturbing little mini trend happening in Egypt.
	And all the Arab League delegates were all like, oh, no, it's not possible.
	This is not Tunisia.
	You know, everybody had a reason why Egypt could not, why the example could not be repeated.
	And the one guy who was off message.
	I give him credit for this, was Amr Musa.
	From day one, he was there and he was the head of the Arab League.
	He's supposed to be in lockstep with these guys.
	And I was shocked by the quotes I got from him.
	He was basically saying, no, this is a wake-up call.
	There's things that really need to change.
	This could spread.
	We have to be very careful.
	We have to sort of acknowledge that people will not be marginalized anymore.
	I remember the quote vividly.
	So, apparently, Musa...
	And I think this is part of a larger scheme for some of these Islamists to take over most of the area, including Syria, if they can.
	I mean, that's what I think is really going on in Syria, which is to get rid of this guy so they can put in an Islamist state.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	And that's what's going on now, as we see by all the voting results in Egypt, it's almost all Brotherhood and some of these other groups, Salafists of varying kinds.
	And that's what this guy was, this head of the Arab League.
	He hated Mubarak, because Mubarak supposedly kicked him out of government work in Egypt, because the guy was a complainer, and he was always bitching about the close connection with...
	Of the government with the U.S., for example.
	He's not a pro-American type.
	When I first started looking into this, I said, well, maybe this guy's a CIA plant.
	Now I'm thinking, no, I don't think so.
	He's one of these Islamist guys who would love to go to war with Israel, and he's old.
	He's 76, and he wants to take over the place.
	I think what's happening, and I got a little clue to this, so obviously what's happening in Egypt is not the way the elitist government in the United States wanted to go, and they did a shot across the bow, at least that's the way I saw it.
	Because we know that it's a one-two punch.
	We just showed that, hey, if you have pirates or whatever and you capture one of our citizens, we're going to come in with our SEAL Team 6 or maybe we'll send a drone to go kill you.
	And there was a warning shot and something changed because something was going on in Egypt that somebody didn't like and then they threw this story out.
	Well, Dad, breaking news this morning out of Egypt right now.
	A group of armed gunmen kidnapped two American female tourists and their Egyptian tour guide.
	This is in the Sinai Peninsula.
	Ivan Watson is live in Cairo with the latest for us.
	Good morning, Ivan.
	Good morning.
	That's right.
	The Egyptian authorities confirming that two American tourists were kidnapped in South Sinai by what they say were unidentified Bedouin kidnappers.
	The U.S. Embassy here in Cairo has confirmed they've gotten that information from Egyptian authorities and are working with them To make sure of the citizenship of these people who have been taken hostage.
	We've spoken with some of our trusted Bedouin sources in the Sinai Peninsula.
	They say that the Bedouins, they come from the Haramsha tribe, and they want the release of some suspects from their tribe who were arrested by Egyptian authorities.
	So, first of all, I love the term trusted.
	Some of our trusted Bedouin sources.
	I have a couple of those.
	I've got a couple in my back pocket.
	Yeah, one drives a cab.
	Yeah, some trusted Bedouin sources.
	So, when you listen to that report and you hear them say, well, you know, we're going to confirm the nationality.
	If they're citizens, then we're going to come and get you.
	And that story dropped off right away.
	When I heard tourists, I'm like, okay, agents must be agents, right?
	I mean, who...
	Who right now says, you know what, hey John, I got a great idea, let's take a vacation to Egypt.
	Oh good, then let's go to the Sinai Desert.
	Yes.
	Groovy.
	I'm a tourist.
	Excuse me, do you know where the internet cafe is?
	I'm looking for the internet cafe.
	Please.
	So something must have happened.
	Does that relate to your Sky News on Egypt clip?
	Is there anything that we can get from that?
	Well, no.
	I don't think there's a connection.
	The Sky News on Egypt is a...
	There's a real theater going on with this...
	You know, you could just see its stage where the police are holding back a bunch of protesters and using tear gas to do it.
	And the kids are throwing the tear gas back.
	And then they're showing these kids who apparently take a breath of...
	They breathe in a little tear gas and instead of having a normal reaction, Through the day, we watched as thousands during the fight here.
	Some were ready with masks, but every move forward was met with another blast of death.
	But there's little protection against this.
	Another round of tear gas has just been fired here, and this is what's happening through the day.
	Running battles is trying to move forward, but of course they keep on being forced back.
	Hundreds have collapsed, carried out, struggling to breathe.
	Rescuers on motorbikes are taking the injured to waiting ambulances.
	This is the same script as Syria.
	Yeah, I know.
	I actually had to listen to the whole clip to make sure I had the right clip.
	The patients slumped unconscious as they speed through the crowds.
	But despite the dangers, the protesters braved the tear gas again and again.
	The only weapons they have are those being used against them.
	The gas canisters hurled back towards the police lines.
	It was sparked by a deadly football riot, but the root causes frustration that the hated military is still in charge a year after the revolution here.
	This bomb made in USA, okay?
	They hit us with this bomb, okay?
	And we don't know what we should do.
	This is impossible.
	There is no radical change in Egypt.
	We need freedom.
	Where is Anderson Pooper?
	We gotta send him in.
	He's gotta go report on this.
	So you look at these guys, they're writing him off on motorcycles.
	They have these, like, some guy somehow passed out or something, and they put him on these motor scooters with the guy in front and the guy in the back, and the guy in the middle is, like, supposedly injured or passed out, his tongue's hanging out, and it's just, you could just see the guy, it's just bullcrap.
	And so they're running these guys back and forth past this woman they're bumping into and they have all these anti-American things.
	It's so obvious that, you know, the military that's running Egypt is American-trained military.
	Yeah, and they're using American tear gas canisters.
	Bomb.
	And so they want these guys out.
	They want all influence out.
	So this is all, again, an anti-American, a huge anti-American position being taken by the public.
	And rightly so.
	We're a bunch of a-holes.
	Yeah, I know.
	But it's just like so...
	I mean, this is not only what we didn't plan on, but it's like we've actually created this situation by encouraging this quasi-whatever, the revolution or this ouster.
	And it's just a disaster, is all I've got to say.
	It's a phony baloney disaster, too, because most of this is theater, it's staged, and it's just like this thing going on in Syria.
	And we're so helpless.
	And then they're reporting on it like it's, you know, this...
	You can just see this.
	I mean, it's been discussed on the Russia Today news where people say, well, look, we were there.
	And they show...
	In fact, we've seen pictures.
	If you remember, even a year ago, they would show a photograph of an area that is staged with a bunch of protesters.
	And the rest of everybody else is just leading their normal life.
	So they move the camera in real close.
	It looks like all hell's breaking loose.
	Yeah.
	Remember they had the CNN cameras up on the balcony and the producer whooping up the crowd like, three, two, one, go!
	You know, I don't know.
	Yeah, it's the difference between the original square and this, you can see night and day.
	No one was rioting.
	They were just like hanging out, you know, because that was all set up and fed by the propaganda machine of the NGOs and the, was it the, what is the Lucifer's Org?
	The DNI? Wasn't that it?
	Is that what it's called?
	The endowment, the democratic national...
	Oh, right, the democratic...
	Yeah, that operation.
	Yeah.
	So it's all been set up, and now it got out of hand, and people are like, hey, you know, what did you do?
	Hey, let's transition for a second here, John.
	Screwed the pooch.
	Yeah, screwed the pooch.
	Don't be a denial.
	The science is in!
	To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate.
	This program, way before we had a red book, was predicting the entrance of a global cooling, a new ice age.
	And of course, we were deemed as deniers and anti-global warming kooks.
	And let me tell you that in the Netherlands, Gitmo Nation lowlands, temperatures dropped to minus 23 degrees centigrade.
	Minus 23.
	That is the coldest it has been in 27 years.
	Wow, that's Alaska weather.
	Gitmo Nation East.
	A crisp powdering of snow across the Peak District, and as the sun went down, so did the temperatures.
	In Skegness, the statues seemed to freeze.
	Even in cities, temperatures were expected to fall to minus 5 overnight, minus 10 in rural areas.
	Seven days of sub-zero temperatures has already triggered cold weather payments for some.
	£30 million has already been paid out this week.
	But many this winter are struggling to pay fuel bills.
	And homeless charities say those sleeping outside face a struggle to survive.
	Right.
	And people are dying everywhere.
	All across Euroland, they're dying because they all bought into the stupidity Oh, it's going to get warmer.
	I was like, I don't need that, Parker.
	I don't need that.
	Who needs that?
	Well, as we pointed out, or you actually dug it up, or one of us, I don't remember who, the commentary that took place in the beginning of the global warming discussions that you in England will never see another, your children will never see another snowflake in their lives.
	Only in snow globes and on the internet.
	Yeah.
	Now it's snowing now.
	It's a routine.
	I was listening to the Sky News and said, well, every year.
	I said there was somebody talking to somebody about how cold it is in London.
	And someone says, well, you know, every year it snows now.
	Yeah.
	It has been continuous.
	And now here's what the experts are saying.
	In fact, the Independent reports, a growing number of experts believe complex wind patterns are being changed because of melting Arctic sea ice that has exposed huge swaths of normally frozen ocean to the atmosphere above.
	So now it's like, whoa, whoa, hold on a second.
	We've got to tell people why this is happening.
	This is because of global warming that is getting so cold.
	Quote, the current weather pattern fits earlier predictions of computer models for how the atmosphere responds to the loss of sea ice due to global warming, said Professor Stefan Rammstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.
	The ice-freeze areas of the ocean act like a heater, as the water is warmer than the Arctic air above it.
	This favors the formation of high-pressure systems near the Barents Sea, which steers cold air into Europe.
	Well, why didn't you tell us that?
	If your computer model predicted it, why didn't you tell everyone, listen, global warming, bundle up!
	Hey, their computer model obviously was inaccurate then because they're the same people that said it was never snow again in England.
	Yes!
	It's such a huge lie.
	So how can we trust anything that they say?
	I mean, this is the...
	People always wonder, well, you guys are just, you know, it's global warming.
	You're only an unsensible person.
	They don't realize that all the experts agree.
	Well, they agree on what?
	Bad calculations?
	The science is in!
	It's just logically weird.
	That's the thing that's always bothering me.
	And then all these crazy anomalies keep taking place.
	And in the early, when you have some little cooling or little snow blizzard, well, we're talking about climate, not weather.
	We're talking about climate, not weather.
	But yet, when it warms up in some area during the summertime, then they talk about weather.
	I mean, it's just like this kind of thing is getting on everyone's nerves.
	Yeah, I mean, particularly for the Dutch...
	Well, yeah.
	I mean, we have a lot of family and friends, and people are like, you know, it was funny the first two nights, and now it's like, okay.
	Now, the only good thing that's going to come out of this is they will have the Elfstede Tocht, which is the 11 cities natural ice contest.
	Which every year when it gets like a little thin crust of ice, they're like, hey, we might have an Elf State at all soon.
	That's where they get the ice skate on the water?
	Yeah, on the natural canals.
	And they all ice skate.
	They do this in Ottawa.
	But they skate on...
	Well, there's two competitions.
	The old school guys who basically skate on sticks of wood...
	With like a knife blade jammed in there?
	The old school Frisian ice skates?
	It's very picturesque, and everyone will forget the hardship of dying of cold for a little while.
	But if only people had listened to this program, they would have a parka.
	It'd be nice and warm, and they'd have some stuff to heat up the house.
	And they could go get some of those parkas.
	Who's the guy who made those parkas for us?
	Oh, yeah.
	We need to replug them.
	I finally got mine.
	It's not a parka.
	It's a handmade jacket.
	It's a heavy-duty jacket.
	Made in America.
	No, it's a beautiful jacket.
	It's nice and warm, too.
	It's like a hunting jacket, right?
	And mine has a concealed carry pocket, which is kind of nice.
	I have a bunch of crazy stuff on mine, too, that I add.
	And they're not expensive.
	We have to get this guy's name and give him another plug.
	It starts with a B. I can't remember offhand.
	I feel bad now.
	I'll put it in the show notes.
	I'll find it.
	And I hate to say, like, you know, hello, we told you so.
	But we have been predicting, and they finally did it in a brilliant PR move.
	I mean, just a brilliant move, again, with some research.
	This is how you get something into the news.
	We have been saying for many years what the, basically, pharmaceutical industry, the chemical industry, Archer Daniel Midland's company, has been working towards for years is equating high fructose corn syrup with sugar.
	And they finally did it.
	Of course.
	They finally did it.
	And you listen to this report.
	This report is about high fructose corn syrup.
	This is the stuff that was originally developed to fatten cattle so they'd be nice and plump and fat.
	And it's now in every single product, almost every single product you can imagine.
	There's almost no real sugar in anything anymore.
	And this research comes out from nature.
	So these guys are highly compromised.
	You can't believe a single thing you get from them anymore.
	And only twice in this report on CNN, we have two women, because of course we've got to appeal to the female audience.
	Only once does she say processed sugar, but for the rest it's all pretty much sugar.
	Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar.
	No.
	It's high fructose corn syrup, which is not the same as sugar.
	It's sugar.
	Sugar.
	Toxic.
	Some researchers, wait for it, say it's as bad for you as booze and cigarettes.
	Woo!
	And they want sugar regulated.
	Senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen.
	Now let's bring in an expert.
	Is following this new report.
	How regulated?
	Pretty regulated.
	I mean, these people, it's a little bit radical.
	It's a little bit out there.
	It's three researchers writing in Nature, which is a very prestigious journal.
	And they say, hey, we consider booze and cigarettes a sin, right?
	So let's have a syntax on foods with added sugar.
	We're not talking about apples and stuff like that.
	That would be really bad.
	But processed sugar, added sugar, why not have a tax?
	Processed sugar, added sugar.
	This is such, John, if we'd been consulting for the high fructose corn syrup industry, we could have come up with it.
	This is so brilliant.
	To just call it sugar and then say it's really bad.
	And you can almost wait for it to come around and say, well, you know, we've got this stuff that is not sugar.
	It's called high fructose corn syrup.
	It's much better for you.
	And here's the one that really got me.
	Why not make it so that you have to be 17 to buy soda?
	So a tax and an age restriction, just like I said, on alcohol and on cigarettes.
	So this whole thing is set up to get you outraged at the crazy legislation that might be proposed that is not coming from lawmakers, but from a couple of compromised a-holes at Nature magazine or the journal.
	The whole thing is set up to get you outraged so that you can have more of it.
	That's great.
	It just blows me away.
	You can see this is a segment that has been set up.
	It's been scripted.
	They brought in the hot-looking medical expert.
	It's like, wow.
	Eat some sugar.
	It's not going to kill you.
	So, that's a good one.
	Anyway, the company is Bruins Clothing.
	Ah, yes, good.
	Bruinsclothing.com.
	They're in South Dakota.
	If you order a jacket from them, which is an inexpensive product...
	I believe you can get one.
	I got a black one with the No Agenda logo sewn on.
	And let's see, what is the price on these?
	I think they're like less than $100.
	They're handmade to order.
	In other words, even though you don't get a fitting, you can just do what you want.
	Yeah, my sleeves were made extra long for my vintage.
	Yeah, I added to my sleeves, too.
	And then you can have special pockets, and there's about three or four or five or six sort of interiors you can have.
	What's his website?
	What's his website?
	Brunsclothing.com.
	B-R-U-I-N-S? B-R-U-N-S. B-R-U-N-S. Brunsclothing.com.
	Yes.
	Yeah, this is good.
	You should get that because it's going to get very, very cold.
	Yes, these will be handy to own.
	And they're essentially a custom handmade product and they're nice.
	And it's like five bucks extra for the longer sleeves or something.
	It's very good.
	Yeah, it starts at $65 for a handmade dynamite jacket.
	Made in America.
	And you can add, it's going to maybe cost you another ten bucks for some add-ons.
	And it's going to be, you know, essentially fit to you.
	I mean, you could probably go there and they'd fit you if you wanted to.
	Yeah, but I got mine.
	I'm all set.
	I got mine.
	And I got a hoodie on mine.
	I didn't even get the most, the warmest inside thing.
	The guy says, you sweat to death.
	The one I have, I'll sweat to death.
	I have to take it to Washington State because it's great.
	It's really warm.
	So authorities consider sugar as empty calories.
	I mean, you need sugar to live, don't you?
	Am I wrong?
	You can get sugar from...
	I mean, no.
	You don't need sugar, per se, to live at all.
	Okay.
	It's a processed product.
	Oh.
	It's natural occurring...
	All carbohydrates are complex sugars, so anything you eat...
	Hold on a second.
	Let's bring in our medical expert here for a second.
	John C. Dvorak, MD. Do we need sugar in our diet?
	We don't need refined sugar, no.
	Will it kill me?
	If you would, like for example, let's say we had a tanker truck full of 100 pound bags of sugar and you were standing underneath it and the bags all bounced off, you'd probably die, yeah.
	Okay, thank you.
	Super Bowl coming up this weekend.
	It is just crazy.
	So I heard from multiple sources.
	This is very funny.
	We didn't play the clip Nor Will I. Remember when President Obama did Al Green at the Apollo?
	And he started singing because of course we didn't have enough X Factor on television already.
	Apparently...
	This all started several weeks ago, and he had a sit down with David Plouffe.
	Plouffe?
	Plouffe?
	What's his name?
	Plouffe?
	Plouffe.
	And he said, hey man, we're not cool anymore.
	Remember in 2008, we were the shit.
	We were really cool.
	We gotta be cool.
	I wanna sing at the Apollo.
	They brought in a vocal coach.
	To help him learn how to sing kind of like Al Green, they brought in a vocal coach.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Yes.
	Yeah, they brought in a coach.
	Oh, you got me on that.
	That's the information of the day.
	He practiced.
	That is ridiculous.
	The president's got nothing better to do?
	No.
	Are you telling me that they would bring in a vocal coach and waste his time because he's got nothing better to do?
	He wanted it!
	Is it one line from an Al Green song?
	He wanted it.
	Now, they had 40 to 50 people in the audience who were instructed to whoop it up.
	And they had a whole team of techno experts who immediately took the video.
	And if you look at the video anywhere it's embedded, you'll see the word cool.
	Because that was the whole point.
	He wants to be cool again.
	That was what his request to his strategist.
	I want to be cool again.
	And go and look anywhere you'll see in the comments.
	Wow, our president's so cool.
	He's cool.
	It was all a setup.
	Vocal coach, the techno experts to go spam forums and everything and comments.
	Oh, he's so cool.
	He's cool.
	And if you listen to the video, and there's a tell in this too.
	This is no good for the show because we're not video.
	There's a tell.
	The minute he goes into a pre-rehearsed thing, he gets completely quiet.
	He'll look down, and then he goes into it.
	And if you watch the video, and I encourage you to do it, you'll see him like, blah, blah, Al Green, blah, blah.
	And then he closes down, focuses, and then he launches into it.
	Because he's an actor.
	It's really, really, really disturbing.
	So now we can look for this tell moment when he's about to do something previously rehearsed.
	You can see him getting his center, focusing, looking down, and then whatever he's supposed to do, he does.
	That's his tell.
	You can watch it now.
	You can see it happening.
	Interesting.
	That's a good one.
	one.
	It's a good find.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Hit me now in the morning.
	We have a bunch of donors this week that helped us out and And I want to thank them, starting with Omri Amariv-Drory, who runs a genome compiler company.
	And he gave us $150.
	Actually, he gave the $150 to me at the Twit Studios.
	Oh, really?
	Into the bank it goes.
	He needs a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	That's all he said.
	He says, here, I need a dedouching.
	Cool.
	And he gave me his card.
	And I'll look into the company.
	It sounds interesting.
	Anonymous, Staten Island, New York, $150.
	Please keep my identity anonymous.
	If you read this on the show, your thread of one show per week, this is my second donation to date.
	Worked!
	Now that the weather is getting warmer, I need two shows per week in order to play a game I call No Agenda Show Roulette.
	It's a game I play that keeps my exercise program of bicycle riding interesting.
	I'll explain in a follow-up letter.
	We'll check it out.
	Peter Pinjacker, $111.11.
	Excuse me.
	Pynocker.
	Pynocker.
	Oh, please don't mention my last name.
	That's not his last name.
	That's the town he's in.
	Oh, he's from Pynacker.
	Oh, good.
	Okay, thanks.
	I'm like, are we accentuating his last name here?
	No.
	Pynacker.
	He's in the Philippines, actually, on vacation, where his government's fighting the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
	Thought I could, which is MILF, could really use some getting laid karma, since with this MILF war, this vacation's going nowhere.
	All right.
	MILF wars!
	You've got karma.
	I think I have a title for our new video.
	Milf Wars.

	Right up the street from you, as a matter of fact.
	$100 in the morning crackpot and buzzkill.
	I've been a $5 per month donor for a while now, but I've recently been feeling more like a boner.
	I've switched to the 11-11 monthly plan, and this is the first 10-100 donations toward my knighthood.
	There's Austin.
	Thank you, Austin.
	Thank you, Austin.
	But you also have to thank Princeton, Ontario.

	He sent $75 to contribute to the cause.
	No, that's too much.
	Yeah, Miss Mickey is going to wear a No Agenda night ring.
	Absolutely.
	Well, what do you think I gave her?
	Hello.
	Anthony Cabelli in Bismarck in North Dakota.
	I need some Rubik's Cube karma for Charlie.
	You've got karma.
	Not quite sure what that's about.

	I urge all citizens to pony up and keep you guys on the air twice a week.
	Martin Anderson in Copenhagen, 6666.
	Love your model.
	Wish Moore used it.
	Keep plowing through.
	Thank you.
	Enjoy, he says.
	Amir Makar, or Makar, Makar, Makar, in Mountsville, Pennsylvania.
	$60.
	Hey, citizens, this is Morrow's.
	Originally from Gitmo Nation, Tahrir Square.
	Tahrir!
	For all the hard work you put into the show, being a former slave, I clearly see the writing on the wall.
	We are sliding towards the dictatorship.
	Exactly what happened in Egypt post-1990s.
	Terrorist attacks, executive branch declared emergency laws, seized all power and droned anyone that didn't agree with them.
	Is he talking about America?
	Yeah, so unless the majority of Americans wake up and realize that we must not sacrifice liberty for security, we're all indeed screwed.
	Excuse me, that's security for American security, if you're Aaron Burnett.
	Okay?
	You get it right.
	I'll probably be the first in line since I look like a terrorist even though I'm a Coptic Christian.
	Hey, you with the beard!
	Come over here!
	I always get randomly searched in airports.
	Sorry for the small donation.
	My donation monies are split between you guys and Ron Paul.
	We certainly appreciate the help, no matter how big or small.
	It's all beautiful.
	Uh...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Joseph Cotran in Monroeville, New Jersey, 5678.
	Donations are down.
	No more hookers and blow for Adam.
	It's a little something for six-pack of beer and a bag of pork rinds.
	In my truck.
	Yeah.
	Drew Larson, Green Bay, Wisconsin, 5555.
	Donated a while back for Job Karma.
	Karma went out on Sunday and the following day had a job interview.
	The interview went well, but I wasn't holding out much hope.
	But lo and behold, an hour after the interview, I got a call from the company with an offer.
	The karma does work and that alone should be enough reason to support no agenda.
	Today I'm donating because my father Dale Larson lost his job recently to corporate bullcrap and I'd like to ask for some karma for him.
	Absolutely.
	Here is some corporate bullcrap get a job karma.
	You've got karma.
	John Martinez in Gilroy, California, 5555, which is interesting.
	I have several monthly subscriptions, but I'm donating a larger amount because the boners haven't.
	I hate for all the show to go once a week for them.
	That is, after all, the greatest podcast in the universe.
	John, a.k.a.
	Garlic Belch.
	Soon to be night.
	Sir Garlic Belch, I guess.
	I can't wait.
	Unpleasant.
	Andrew Stuckey in Madison, Wisconsin, 5555.
	Having not donated before, I can no longer stand the guilt.
	I humbly request a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Good on you, Andrew.
	Matthew J. Milligan in Sparks, Nevada.
	Nice place.
	Just outside of Reno.
	5510, hey citizens, this is to give Adam and John faith that they are still working surf searching toward knighthood.
	Please give a shout at karma to my brother Jake for being an alternate delegate.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Hold on, let's just give that for a second.
	Here we go.
	You've got karma.
	We also lose his sister-in-law, Kirsten, and himself.
	They're delegates for Ron, Paul, and Nevada.
	We need the help to make it all the way.
	Also give a MILF call out to my smoking hot wife, Sarah.
	She's the reason I can donate, really?
	Okay, I don't know what she does, but...
	You've got karma.
	Maybe it's the reason...
	I don't know.
	Cool!
	Send pictures.
	Send pictures.
	Send pictures, yeah.
	Send them to Adam.
	Send them to me.
	Pariahware, Raleigh, North Carolina, 5510, double nickels on the dime, looking for karma for my wife, who is not expected to live after suffering a large number of strokes last February and April.
	She continues to heal, but is currently a quadriplegic.
	It's a terrible story.
	Also, people can help me by supporting her by buying an iOS game, Bibblicious.
	We do believe the things we say.
	Absolutely.
	Adam says something, I say, I think he's full of crap.
	We both believe this.
	Robert Perrin and Kenmore Washington, double nickels on the dime.
	First time donors, start with a citizen de-douching.
	Okay.
	Hey, citizen.
	You've been de-douched.
	Thank you both for being there for us.
	I plan to donate 2% of my personal GDP this year.
	This is a tie.
	That's nice.
	So by December, I hope I'll get to the roundtable.
	PS55 equals my age this year, and I encourage all listeners to donate at least an amount equal to their age.
	All right.
	Bruce Wilkie in Pualap, Washington.
	50 double nickels on the diamond with him.
	I love the show and I've been a long time listener, boner, one time boner.
	Anyway, thanks to my dad.
	Please call him out as a boner for never donating.
	I think douchebag is what we're talking about.
	Should we do that?
	Yeah.
	John, I look forward to a foodie show from you sometime in the future.
	Adam, I missed the long in the morning rundown that you used to do.
	Feed in the stirrups, wings in the air, etc., etc.
	Can I get one more of those for old times' sake?
	We'll do it on the next show.
	And can I get a shout-out on the tweeters?
	Android Bruce.
	Keep up the great work.
	He's in Seattle, he says.
	Stephen Ryko in Winston-Salem.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	FMP Computers in Gilbert, Arizona.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Listen to episode one.
	I'd like to mention the unclaimed state property website, which I brought up on a recent show.
	I picked up some money and figured I could pass on some of it to people who informed me of the whole thing.
	Hey!
	I still haven't done that.
	Yeah, that's cool.
	Oh, you should.
	There's tons.
	You'll have thousands of dollars.
	Ditched.
	Thousands?
	Yes.
	But where does that come from?
	I have about...
	But where does it come from?
	I mean, I'm like, oh, I dropped a $1,000 bill.
	I'll tell you where some of it comes from.
	It's all these douchebag banks.
	Let me give you an example.
	I had a bank account at the San Francisco Credit Union when I was working for the government.
	I wanted to keep the money in there, so I had like $1,200 in there.
	So about, you know, I leave it in there.
	I don't pay much attention to it, so I decide I'm going to go either reestablish the account or I'm going to get...
	I go there, the money's gone.
	What?
	Oh, we sent it to the state.
	Really?
	Yeah, if you keep anything inactive for more than like six months, boom, the state gets it and collects interest on it.
	What?
	It's in there.
	I mean, the state had it listed, and so I just had the state send me a check.
	Yes.
	That is crazy.
	I'm afraid to do it because with me they say, oh, undisclosed.
	Either it's so huge I'm going to be a multi-millionaire, or they're going to come and say, yeah, we've been looking for you.
	It could be a bunch of stock that you don't know you own.
	What are we going to do with this Adam Curry stock?
	Send it to the state.
	Really?
	Yeah, my mom had some stock that was sent to the state.
	Yeah, you told me this.
	But she didn't want to do it.
	She was wary, too.
	She didn't want to, like, get married.
	Yeah, it was only worth about $50.
	Anyway, everyone else should definitely try that.
	Scott Olson of San Diego, California.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	He needs a shot of karma.
	Okay, here we go.
	You've got karma.
	Ben McQuillen in Belfast.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Wendell Smith in Wyndham, Minnesota.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Chris Ball in Lansing, Michigan.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Jonathan Rucks in Alfreda, Georgia.
	52.90.
	529 is a number I continually come across.
	It seems to be good luck, so here's 5290 to grant JCD and Adam some karma for their donations to pick up.
	My karma will be automatic for my transition from a no-donor-boner to a donor with a boner.
	Yeah.
	You've got karma.
	There it is.
	Boner.
	Yeah, whatever.
	These guys.
	Puns.
	Adrian Cooper in Durham, North Carolina, 5214.
	Donating $50 and 214 for the love on behalf of my wife, Amy, because we all know donating is loving.
	Amy recently had a job interview, so we were looking for a shot of karma.
	I asked her if she had a message for the show, and she said, thank you.
	Oh.
	Although I've donated before, I think I need a de-douching because I've been waiting since November to get into an elite group of assassins.
	I'm not sure what's holding me back.
	Okay.
	Hey, whatever floats your boat.
	You've got karma.
	It appears as if you will not allow him on the No Agenda News Network.
	What?
	What?
	Anyone can be on...
	If you go to No Agenda News Network...
	You have to get qualified to do something.
	No, you don't.
	Let me say something.
	You go to noagendanewsnetwork.com and then right there on the page...
	I'm going to tell you exactly where it is.
	You go down to the, I don't know, Agenda News Network.
	You can make, if you have an RSS feed, so if you have a blog anywhere that makes an RSS feed anywhere, oh, maybe it's not on there.
	Oh, yeah, right at the top, at the top in the menu, it says, add a feed.
	And you click on that.
	And then it brings up a dialogue box and it says, enter the URL of a feed you'd like to add to the No Agenda News Network community.
	You enter it in automatically.
	Everything you post is going to be on the No Agenda News Network.
	It's a beautiful system.
	It's open.
	Go do it.
	Sounds complicated.
	Patrick McCann at Carnation, Washington.
	5151.
	Milf and Karma.
	Shout out to my wife, Shelly.
	Also, Karma for all the douchebags who will be donating their tax returns.
	Milf.
	That's I'd like to.
	You've got karma.
	Podcast for Peace in Alamo, California, 5150.
	I donate, therefore I am.
	Why?
	Because?
	Why?
	Because?
	Job karma works.
	Thank you for the No Agenda Nation for keeping this consulted in ducats.
	David Hazy in Wilmington, North Carolina, 5005.
	I'm a U.S. Army veteran.
	Did psychological operations.
	I would like to request a Hey Citizen Karma from my buddy Scotty Singfu for finally getting me to listen to the program.
	Okay, here we go.
	Hey Citizen.
	Hey Citizen.
	You've got karma.
	By the way, if you guys want more donations, you need to go on Facebook.
	My entire Facebook feed is your show before you do it.
	All right, thanks.
	Maybe we can get Zynga money or something.
	We can buy some pigs.
	And Bruins clothing we just mentioned.
	Watertown, South Dakota.
	$50 latest kickback from the No Agenda jacket embroidery.
	Oh, it was a setup.
	You knew that this was coming.
	Also, I started kicking $2 per sale from the jackets or vests that don't get embroidered if they tell me they heard about us on no agenda.
	Huh.
	Lastly, I like a bit of karma for my new baby boy, human resource, Robert Lee Bruns, born on February the 4th.
	Ah, brand new baby boy.
	Congratulations.
	You've got karma.
	Little human resource, and we say...
	Hey, citizen.
	Donald...
	Go-Gwen, I think.
	Go-Gwen?
	Go-Gwen.
	What do you think?
	Go-Gwen.
	Westminster, Massachusetts.
	Nuts.
	I know times are hard for almost everyone.
	Some of us do what we can't hang in there.
	Benjamin in Westerville, Ohio.
	$50.
	In the morning to you both.
	From Gitmo Nation, Buckeye here in Columbus, Ohio.
	I know donations have been down, but I think I may have a solution.
	Put a simple No Agenda app in the App Store and have an in-app purchase available.
	It doesn't work.
	It doesn't work.
	I'm just telling you.
	We would be cut by 75%.
	This is the only way it works.
	This is the model.
	It's going to take a second, John.
	What I like about it is that we're very honest.
	If you see the value for two shows, we're there.
	If not, we're not there.
	We'll do one show.
	It's done.
	Everyone got the message perfect.
	So it worked.
	Thank you very much.
	Richard Colangelo in Litchfield, Connecticut, $50.
	Matthew Lakes in Fairport, New York, $50.
	John Haller in Missoula, Montana, $50.
	I need you twice a week to keep sane.
	Don't change!
	On PBS, the pitch was that you're joining a community with your donations.
	Perhaps that can be an inducement.
	Well, we've said this before.
	Good old Dame Tanya in New York.
	Very troubled by the drop-off in donations.
	Decided to increase my monthly giving level to the best podcast in the universe.
	Giving is love.
	Hold on a second.
	That's one mother I'd like to.
	I met Dame Tanya.
	Michael Siegenthaler, or taller.
	Thomasville, Georgia, $50.
	Siegenthaler now in Phoenix, formerly of Dirty South in San Bernardu.
	Give yourself a Karma shot.
	Keep your heads up.
	You've got Karma.
	Majestic RV rental in Fredericksburg, Virginia, $50.
	What?
	Well, didn't we pick up our RV in Fredericksburg?
	I don't know.
	Is this...
	Majestic?
	No, we didn't get it from Majestic, I think.
	Interesting.
	Maybe you should have.
	Anonymous Putney, Vermont.
	No, you got it from a friend.
	No, we got it from the Baroness, Maggie Vincent.
	Yeah, Maggie.
	Good old Maggie.
	Putney, Vermont.
	$50.
	Keep up the good work.
	Teach us how to read between the lines.
	Ulrich Hansen in Copenhagen, I believe.
	$50.
	Why?
	Because the world needs two shows a week.
	Sir Adam Kolb in Menasha, Wisconsin, $50.
	Christopher Gripe.
	Edmonton, another Edmontonian, $50.
	That's great.
	I like Edmonton, by the way.
	It's a very nice town.
	I was just there like a year or two ago.
	Hail from Canada.
	Love the show.
	I have one request.
	Could you both look into the Keystone XL pipeline and both your thoughts on it?
	And we've done that.
	I think so.
	We don't have any thoughts on it.
	We want your dirty shit.
	Send it on down.
	Yeah, the horrible crew just loaded with sulfur.
	Send it on down.
	David Kroll, Hamilton, Ohio.
	$50.
	Long-time boner and first-time donor.
	Need a thorough de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	I don't remember saying that John McCain would win.
	Maybe I did.
	He did.
	He won the Republican nomination.
	He also needs a karma shot applying for a gig at an awesome company.
	And a deal I'd made with myself was that I hadn't gotten a ding letter before payday.
	I'd try earning some karma.
	Here we go.
	Get your job, karma.
	Let us know.
	You've got karma.
	It usually works.
	And then $50 from Thomas Lees in Halifax.
	Anthony Heusner in Madison, Wisconsin.
	Greg Von Mullen in Bakersfield.
	Also from Mike Noco.
	Mike Nocolichuk.
	No.
	Nikolichuk.
	Nikolichuk.
	Nikolai Chuck in the Paris of Canada, Saskatoon, $50.
	Please read the email sent.
	Well, we don't have it handy, but mention more Canadian news.
	We're getting bent over here, too.
	Our Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, has just announced he was going to change our pension laws.
	Yeah, we know about that.
	I call out Sean Mooney as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	And he'll...
	Something else he's going to do.
	I can't quite get the sentence structure.
	And finally, Frank Rowe.
	Sir Frank Rowe to you.
	Sir Gitmo.
	Yes, Sir Gitmo.
	Parrish, Florida.
	$50.
	Please send karma as the universe hates me.
	It's not true, Frank.
	The universe does not hate you.
	You've got karma.
	The universe loves you, man.
	And finally, a call out to boners to become donors.
	So, I just want to say that obviously we have an excessively long segment.
	The whole idea here is to spread it out.
	So, let's get back to where we were before the start of the year and everything will all be good.
	Yeah, and people who want to sneak in a quick executive producer, I'm guaranteeing on Thursday you'll be able to do it effortlessly.
	Yeah, that's usually how it works.
	Yeah, because this feast or famine thing is annoying.
	And I'm sure a lot of people, we did have one guy, wrote a nasty note to us complaining about the fact that we do...
	Birthday shout outs.
	He thinks it's a waste of time and he doesn't like the thank yous that we give personally to each individual who gives us $50 or more.
	Would you like to hear commercials?
	Let me get the...
	You want me to find the Old Navy commercial?
	Maybe I should play that, John.
	No, don't play that again, please.
	No, no, you haven't heard this one.
	It's the Old Navy commercial.
	Is this the one you did?
	Is it another one you did?
	Yeah.
	Let's see if people like that better.
	Hold on a second.
	Anyway, make your point while I look it up.
	Woo!
	We actually find these segments to be interesting because they do bring out some anecdotal information.
	We also get to communicate kind of directly with the donors.
	And we had a lot of people also donated anonymously.
	But we don't...
	I don't know.
	I don't mind it.
	And I think it is padding to some.
	You can fast forward through it.
	Yes.
	Really hate it.
	Yeah.
	But there's always a tidbit into it.
	Sometimes we have a restaurant.
	Let me see.
	Let me ask you a question.
	Would you rather hear, you know, stuff about people loving their wives and that they're MILFs and that they're happy and they love karma?
	This is Adam Curry for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes.
	Or would you rather hear this?
	Ha ha!
	Kellogg's Frosted Flakes gives you flakes for fuel and frosting for fun as part of a balanced breakfast.
	Because when you love the game, it shows.
	Now, another gig I didn't get.
	The insincerity in your voice has something to do with it.
	No, I can't sell it.
	But the guy who got the gig, if you want us to play that on the show, fine.
	Two quick mentions.
	Mike Slob again.
	His email, Adam and John, greetings from Gitmo Nation, Lotus Land, west coast of Canada, tree huggers and potheads.
	Today I sent in the first of many donations to the No Agenda show.
	I've been listening for a few months without donating, and that's just not cool.
	Please give me a dedouching and fire some karma.
	I think that even people who aren't NOA Dental listeners have an unconscious awareness that something is very wrong with the world.
	Some people buy pills to suppress their anxiety.
	I think the money is better spent right here to bring the problem to the forefront and earn all of us some relief.
	And I think that is a very good point.
	Don't buy meds.
	Listen to the show.
	Karma.
	And support the show.
	And then this just broke my heart.
	Sea Geek.
	In the morning, Adam and John, use this story on the show if you want.
	I have cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair.
	I'm on a disability pension of $828 a month, but I just donated $25 to the best podcast in the universe.
	If I can donate, anyone can.
	And here's some karma for you.
	You've got karma.
	And as a special option, of course, we have Valentine's Day coming up.
	So 214-214 is your magic number because nothing says I love you more than a donation to the No Agenda show.
	Yeah, and you can do it in somebody else's name.
	And I do have Dwayne Melanson's little note here.
	I want to do just a couple of things.
	He's the guy in Tigard, Oregon, who is an executive producer.
	This completes his fourth knighthood, which is...
	Worth mentioning.
	Needs to get a ring resized.
	Sorry to hear the donations have been soft.
	I want to see you guys have to go to one show a week, that's for sure.
	On one note about the last show, you were commenting that a weatherman was the expert on a meteor sighting in Texas.
	Who better than a meteorologist to cover it?
	Good point.
	I went through all the trouble to get that note for that gag.
	That one gag.
	It's a pun.
	It's a pun.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A-M. I'm no agenda!
	Only one to do today, Sir Paul Schneider, congratulates himself.
	He celebrated his birthday yesterday, February 4th, 2012.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the No Agenda Show!
	It's your birthday, yeah!
	And because of all the toppage everyone put in, we have a couple of knighthoods to hand out, which is very nice, so I've got my blade handy.
	John, if you could take it away from that.
	Yeah, you got it there?
	Perfect.
	Perfect.
	Matthew Becker, Austin Voss, and David C. Pugh, please step forward.
	Neil!
	It is time to receive your well-deserved knighthoods and enter the elusive club known as the Knights of the Noagenda Roundtable for your support of the best podcast in the universe in the amount of up to $1,000 or more.
	Rings forthcoming, and I hereby pronounce these Sir Matthew Becker, Sir Austin Voss, and Sir David C. Pugh.
	You got them.
	They're over here.
	You know you want them.
	The hookers and blowers, the rent boys and chardonnay, and the hot pants and booze.
	Right here!
	And thank you so much.
	And don't forget, you can go to also channeldivorac.com slash nanoagendashow.com noagendanation.com and there's donation buttons there and we would appreciate all the help we can get.
	So Mimi writes in, the reason I'm not listening to the show today live is because of the screwed up No Agenda Global Radio.
	That has crap on it like this, PlayerRadioLoyalty.com.
	Do you know anything about this?
	No.
	What's the No Agenda Global Radio?
	Where does she even find this?
	No, I think Gitmo Slave and Mr.
	Oil were working on changing and Sir Paul, they were going to...
	Look, I don't run the stream.
	We have no time for that.
	I think they changed it from knowage into stream.com.
	You can still use that address, but then it goes to nagradio.com, and they had a whole new website.
	Did it not work?
	She says, the worst part of this global radio is there are typos all over the place.
	I especially resent the ads that show up with radio loyalty.
	What is that?
	They're distracting, creepy, and if you guys are supposedly avoiding ads...
	Not going corporate.
	Someone better shake the crap out of Mr.
	Oil and give him the news.
	She's irked.
	Is that Mimi?
	Your Mimi?
	Our Mimi?
	Our lovely Mimi?
	Yeah, it's the Mimi.
	No Agenda Global Radio.
	Well, it has the stream player on it.
	Does that not work?
	She keeps getting all this crap out of Mr.
	Oil and give him the news.
	Yeah, it works.
	Sounds good.
	Sounds pretty good.
	Yeah, sounds good to Mimi.
	Is she using Explorer 4?
	I have no idea.
	I don't see any ads.
	I see Support Us Player.
	It looks pretty good, actually.
	Check it out.
	NAGRadio.com.
	Looks good to me.
	NAGRadio.
	It's got all of the No Agenda News Network articles.
	This looks good.
	She was grousing at me yesterday about the show having too much political news.
	What is she?
	Oh, okay.
	Well, Mimi, pay attention.
	Do you hear this, John?
	That is a knife.
	And I am using this knife to cut...
	Hold on.
	Into an heirloom tomato I purchased yesterday at the Austin...
	It's out of season.
	It's the last ones.
	An heirloom tomato.
	It looks like a mutant ball from hell.
	It's got like, it looks like it's cancer.
	Which of course is the way a tomato is supposed to look.
	But these tomatoes, which by the way, saving the seeds, I can plant them and I can grow my own.
	Listen to this, Sean.
	Mmm.
	That is an outstanding product.
	Oh.
	It's got to be a hothouse.
	No, it's grown indoors.
	It is.
	But it is a complete...
	It's like, of course a tomato is a fruit.
	I had an argument with Miss Mickey about that yesterday.
	But I'm actually eating it like a fruit.
	That's how lovely this outstanding product is.
	If you are in Austin on Saturday, go to 4th Street, go to the Austin Sustainable Living Market, and the guy might have a few more next week.
	But they are outstanding as a food product.
	I don't see any ads.
	I don't know what she's talking about.
	Yeah.
	I don't see typos.
	I don't see ads.
	Talk about no commercials.
	There must be a bootleg site or something that she's landed on.
	Maybe you need to service her.
	It's big, but it's not that long.
	Whoa.
	Touchy subject there.
	She's in Washington.
	Yeah, but get a train, man.
	Go up there and do your business or something.
	That concludes our servicing and outstanding food product segments.
	Alright, so I think we do our...
	Yeah, okay.
	I think we're all caught up.
	Oh my God.
	That tomato is so delicious.
	I mean, you see a tomato.
	That's not a real tomato.
	This is a tomato.
	One that looks all kooky.
	It really looks...
	I know if I showed it to my daughter and said, here's to me, she'll go like, I don't want to eat that tomato.
	It looks weird.
	It's got bumps and lumps.
	No, this has like tumors.
	Oh, it's got the bumpy, lumpy tumors.
	I just devoured it.
	I had Miss Mickey bring it down.
	Did you put salt on it?
	No, no, no, no.
	You can do that.
	No, no, no.
	These are so sweet.
	They're so lovely and luscious.
	It's just, it's orgasmic, I tell you.
	Okay, so a couple things on the techno expert front that we need to talk about.
	Because they're really ramping it up here and in Gitmo Nation East.
	The first thing is this totally bogus...
	The whole thing, Anonymous.
	Anonymous, by the way, supports this show.
	We had five members of Anonymous support this show, which is, just so you know, yeah, there's a movement called Anonymous, and yes, there's people who do things, but it's a beautiful name.
	That's why they love to propagate it, because Anonymous can easily be Hillary Lucifer Clinton's techno experts doing crap.
	Right.
	Saying they're Anonymous.
	Right.
	We don't know.
	There's no way of knowing.
	And now they stole the conference call between the Scotland Yard and the FBI. And I have a 20-second clip that shows you what great work is being done here.
	The whole thing is so idiotically stupid and such a dumb PR stunt.
	But, you know, are these guys going after hackers?
	Yeah.
	How?
	Listen.
	Prosecution council making an application in chambers, i.e., without the defense knowing, to seek a way to try and factor some time in that won't look suspicious.
	Okay.
	How much time do you think it's reasonable that they'll be able to...
	I've gone and said eight weeks.
	We have got Ryan Cleary's indecent images, which have been found partly by archives and partly by the USAF team who looked at his hard drive.
	So what we're going to propose is that they get dealt with first.
	Yeah, because that's all you do.
	Hey, you got porn?
	We're going to arrest you.
	But it was indecent images.
	This is ridiculous.
	Excuse me.
	Tomato.
	This is completely...
	Doctor!
	We have a sick man here.
	But you know what I mean?
	This is completely ridiculous, the way they're setting this up.
	And the BBC... I've got to play you the intro to this piece.
	They have a whole piece on the dark web.
	The dark web.
	The dark web is where all the evil anonymous people live.
	But not just anonymous.
	It could be your neighbor on the dark web.
	Listen to this intro.
	Now, the internet is transforming our lives.
	There is little dispute about that.
	But do we know enough about the dark side of the web?
	A world where criminals can't be traced, where you can shop for illegal goods, and where customers go by code names.
	Our reporter, Adrian Goldberg, set out to shine a light in the internet shadows to discover just what you can buy on the online black market.
	No, the dark web.
	And this piece, I don't even want to play it.
	The dark web is used like 20 times in this piece.
	Have you seen this thing?
	No.
	You want to hear it?
	I have heard about it, but I haven't seen it, no.
	You interested?
	Yeah, play a little bit.
	Millions of shoppers have abandoned the high street in favor of online shopping.
	But just like in the real world, alongside the everyday goods available on the internet, an online black market has also sprung up.
	Getting on the dark web isn't straightforward.
	Sites where Class A drugs are sold are beyond the reach of normal search engines.
	Instead, users download sophisticated but...
	What kind of bullcrap is that beyond the reach of online search engines?
	What is that bullshit?
	...readily available software which makes the location of their computer and the sites they've visited virtually impossible to trace.
	You're very bad if you can't be traced.
	By buying a virtual currency like bitcoins, innocently used by gamers and others on...
	Who still uses bitcoin?
	They're out of business.
	This is like total...
	Chat room, raise your hand.
	Is this a real old production you're listening to?
	Brand new.
	Brand new.
	Brand new!
	This is why it's propaganda.
	On the net, the first layer of secrecy is introduced.
	Bitcoin transactions aren't linked to names, allowing people to buy and sell without being identified.
	Using the downloaded software, we found sites where Class A drugs, fake driving licenses, and even guns were on sale.
	Yeah, stuff you can get anywhere, but it's the dark web.
	The dark web.
	Very dark.
	We paid in bitcoins for what was advertised as DMT. Give me that address.
	An illegal hallucinogenic class A drug.
	When they were tested in the lab, the drugs were found to be genuine.
	The dark web uses software that anonymizes users by bouncing communications between a network of volunteers around the world.
	This makes tracing sites you've visited or the location of your computer almost impossible.
	Now, this is very important because...
	Well, of course, the SOPA, PIPA open thing is now passed.
	Everyone's Twitter icon is back to normal.
	Facebook pages are back.
	Wikipedia is no longer black.
	Everything's all good and hunky.
	We won!
	Woo!
	Yeah!
	Meanwhile, what's happening?
	Here is the Bureau of Justice Assistance who sent out a document.
	This is a part of the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
	If you run an Internet cafe or if you are in an Internet cafe, the Joint Regional Intelligence Center...
	By the way, you can call them.
	You just have to mention code word TRIPWIRE. It says it right here on the document.
	This is how nuts and insane these people are.
	Like, hey man, I'm going to go rat on this guy because I've got to call this number and mention TRIPWIRE. You need to consider people suspicious in the following cases.
	People who, one, are overly concerned about privacy and make attempts to shield the screen from view of others.
	Yeah, like when I'm trying to access my banking account or something.
	Be suspicious of people who pay cash or use credit cards in different names.
	Be suspicious of people who apparently use tradecraft, lookout, blocker, or someone else to distract employees.
	Suspicious people act nervous or exert suspicious behavior inconsistent with activities, like if you have Tourette's Syndrome.
	People are suspicious who are observed switching SIM cards in cell phones or use multiple cell phones, which is about every single executive in New York City.
	They got the Blackberry in their iPhone.
	And be suspicious of people who travel illogical distances to use internet cafes, maybe because they have no internet.
	Activities on computer are suspicious if they indicate residential-based internet provider signs on to Comcast, AOL, etc.
	Uses anonymizers, portals, or other means to shield IP address.
	Suspicious or coded writings like in the morning, hey citizen.
	Use of code word sheets, cryptic ledgers, etc.
	I mean, this is the stuff...
	Be an SS Nazi and spy on people, and if they switch their SIM card, call 888-705-JRIC and mention the code word TRIPWIRE. And what's happening in Gitmo Nation East?
	Well, here's how they're going to do it with the Olympics.
	Because it's going to be so busy, this is the homeland department, it's going to be so crazy busy with people on the internet, ISPs may introduce data caps during peak times to try and spread the load, or loading actually they say, and give a more equal service to their entire customer base.
	It is possible that internet services may be slower during the games.
	ISPs have been engaged in the planning process so demands of the system can be understood and managed.
	Here's what's going to happen.
	No internet for you.
	And when the Olympics go away, it's going to be the same thing.
	This is all a trick.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	The cell networks, by the way, are going to be fine.
	No problem.
	It's the internet that's going to be slow.
	So everyone's distracted and happily on their way now.
	Oh, we defeat them.
	Eh, no SOPA. No soap, but not going to happen.
	Meanwhile, this is taking place right out in plain view.
	Also, there's HR 1981, Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011.
	Oh yeah, that'll be loaded with stuff.
	Yeah, well it's not...
	You can't go wrong.
	This is the way to pass it.
	All the bills that ever get passed from now on should be anti...
	Child porn laws.
	And then you can put anything you want in there, because nobody's going to say diddly about it.
	Status.
	This bill was considered in committee which has recommended it to be considered by the House as a whole.
	Explanation.
	Although it has been placed on a calendar of business, the order in which legislation is considered and voted on is determined by the majority party leadership.
	Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here but doesn't, would seem to be abandoned.
	There's no text.
	You can't read it yet.
	Time to turn my Twitter icon black.
	I'm sure when it comes out, you'll be reading it.
	Yeah, of course.
	Turn your icon black.
	It's time.
	Woo!
	Icon Black.
	I think we should have puce.
	Make my icon black.
	Puce?
	Yeah, puce should be the color, the next revolution.
	What color is puce?
	Type in puce and then...
	I don't know how to spell puce.
	P-U-I-S-S-E, I think?
	That's a good question.
	Oh, well, that's why I brought it up.
	Type in puce and then hit images.
	P-U-I-S-S-E, is that it?
	So, let me see.
	Oh, we can do that in a second.
	I caught something while we're on this topic.
	So ACTA was ratified.
	The Anti-Copyright Trademark Act, whatever it is.
	The thing that the president wouldn't tell us about because there would be such an outrage.
	It was passed by the European Union.
	And there are actual riots going.
	Well, protests, let's put it that way.
	In Poland, Slovenia, and other places in Euroland about this act being passed.
	And I'm like, why is such a big deal being made of this?
	And then I realized it's conditioning for the collapse of the euro.
	And if you listen to this report, I will not spoil it.
	You tell me if you can hear it.
	Protesters gathered in the Slovenian capital on Saturday to demonstrate against an international treaty meant to protect intellectual property on the Internet.
	The protesters in Ljubljana are angry that Slovenia signed the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA, in Tokyo last week.
	There were also demonstrations in Greece and Poland, with many feeling ACTA will lead to Internet censorship.
	Well, in many countries like, for example, East, they don't have freedom for speech, internet, news, nothing.
	And we can see the consequences.
	So in long term, I think it can happen anywhere.
	Expressing its support for the anti-actor movement, hacking group Anonymous claimed responsibility for disrupting Slovenia's largest bank.
	NLB's website was down for most of the day, causing problems for customers trying to withdraw money from ATMs.
	That is the propaganda.
	They show a shot of an ATM that says, not available.
	It didn't have Anonymous with a little nice song playing.
	Yeah.
	This is bull crap.
	That's a setup.
	It sounds like it, yeah.
	When there's no money coming out of the ATM, blame it on Anonymous.
	Instead of your bank being bankrupt, just blame it on Anonymous.
	That's all good.
	It's not a bad strategy.
	Well, the strategy used to be the bank holiday idea, right?
	Where, oh, well, we'll collapse everything on a bank holiday.
	Now I think things are going to start collapsing and then any bank can just say, well, it's anonymous, man.
	They hacked into us and we'll be offline for a while.
	Yeah.
	You're laughing, but I'm not laughing.
	No, I think it's exactly what you...
	I think you spotted an actual trend.
	You know, let's blame Anonymous for everything.
	It's the meme, man.
	Put that little picture of the guy.
	You know, the big news, of course, was they hacked into some, ooh, so secret conference call between the FBI and Scotland...
	As JC, Buzzkill Jr., mentioned, he says, this sounds like any crappy conference call that's ever existed in the history of business-to-business conference calls.
	A bunch of guys shooting the shit about, hey, so how you doing?
	Oh, I don't know.
	We're going to have a meeting tomorrow.
	I think those guys are screwy.
	You know what I mean?
	It's just a bunch of nothing.
	You were here this morning when I played that clip, right, from the conference call?
	No.
	That was the clip about the porn that I just played for you like five minutes ago.
	Oh, then I was five minutes ago?
	Yeah.
	Oh, well, I didn't hear that part of the clip when I listened to that.
	When I listened to the tape, I'm telling you, I was so bored after about two minutes, I never listened to much more of it.
	So there was substance in there?
	That was it.
	We got the guy's porn.
	That's it.
	That was it.
	That was it.
	That thing went on for like an hour.
	That was the only substance in it.
	Something about Sheffield being a hellhole.
	Yeah, and then like, hey man, we got the guy's porn.
	Okay, good.
	We'll take him down.
	That's it?
	Yeah, I'm sorry.
	Indecent images.
	So let's switch to real news.
	Oh, well, hey, I'm all for that.
	And now, back to real news.
	So your favorite company, MTV, had their European Music Awards.
	How did I? There must be an invitation here somewhere.
	In Belfast.
	And all the guest stars, all the acts, and all the award winners are not only all from America.
	Wait, was Bono there?
	No.
	That's because all of them also coincidentally work for Viacom in one form or another.
	Really?
	Yeah, it was really bad.
	So they have as their first guest presenters, and you have to listen to the crazy...
	This one of the two, you're going to be surprised.
	The first guest presenters that really bring it home, they have Selena Gomez as the hostess, and she announces the first presenters.
	And this is like, to bring it home to the Europeans, how important this whole award thing is to Europe.
	And here we go.
	This is your show.
	So many of you around the world have voted for your favorite acts to win one of these awards.
	So let's bring out your first two presenters.
	They've come all the way to Northern Ireland's Eastern Shore from the Jersey Shore.
	Here to present the award for Best Live are the always lovely Snooki and JWoww.
	What's up, Belfast?
	It's Jersey Shore's in the house!
	Woo!
	Yeah!
	The single most magical experience of being at a live music is you can't be recreated.
	Oh, God.
	We're going to die!
	The single most important thing about being at a live music is that it can't be recreated.
	What does that even mean?
	Let's just listen to that.
	Was that Snooki?
	Yeah.
	The single most magical experience of being out of live music is it can't be recreated.
	I bet there are people in Europe who watch this going, could you please just drone me now?
	I'd rather have a drone kill me with a hellfire missile than have to watch that.
	And the crowd goes wild!
	We're so doomed.
	We're so doomed.
	I'm surprised you missed it.
	A lot of people sent me this, and I was tracking this.
	Of course, the chief executive officer of Micron, Steve Appleton, died in a plane crash in Boise, Idaho.
	And whenever there's a plane crash these days, everyone's like, two to the head, two to the head!
	I'm like, it's not always two to the head.
	Yeah, there are actual plane crashes.
	Yeah, there are plane crashes.
	The thing that is kind of interesting, though, that the stock jumped up 3%.
	Yeah, that's a bad sign.
	That's not good.
	And within hours of this news, they announced Mark Adams.
	I'm sorry, Mark Durkin.
	Am I saying this right?
	It sounds right.
	No, Mark Adams, I think, is going to be...
	But within hours, they replaced the guy.
	Within hours, which is a little insensitive.
	So I'm looking at this, and then I'm seeing...
	Remember Greenhill?
	That's the company that advised...
	What was it?
	Didn't they advise on Solyndra and the two bankers from Greenhill and company?
	They died in a plane crash.
	Maybe.
	Here's the report.
	Oh yeah, right.
	That was a plane crash.
	Yeah.
	Their numbers are up 42% since those guys died.
	It's kind of interesting the correlation between important people at a company dying and their stock price improving.
	And I do not put it past anyone in the financial world to kill anyone for any menial reason.
	Not when billions are involved and people are now becoming overnight dead.
	We're not talking about the olden days where someone was like a millionaire overnight.
	We're talking about obscene amounts of money.
	Yeah, so they'll kill anyone for any reason.
	There's a good reason.
	Obscene amounts of money.
	That's the reason right there.
	So the Appleton thing, what most people heard on the news, and because I'm a pilot, an airman, I like looking into this, is the audio, of course, which was recorded, of the crash.
	And here's the situation is Appleton took off in his Lank Air, which, of course, is labeled everywhere, experimental aircraft, crazy, fucking, what is he, John Denver?
	Yeah.
	Landcare is quite an outstanding aircraft.
	It's a hot rod, and this was a pressurized version.
	I mean, you can go to 30,000 feet, does over 300 knots.
	I mean, it's an amazing aircraft.
	It's beautiful.
	I've flown them.
	It is labeled experimental because it essentially is a kit airplane, but this is not like...
	Steve Appleton in his garage gluing this thing together, and there is a certification process, but it's labeled experimental for a number of technical reasons, which doesn't mean it's necessarily safe or unsafe, but please don't be fooled into thinking, oh, you know, just some crazy, like, you know, like some...
	Remember we used to make model airplanes and we'd dope the wings?
	Remember that?
	You put paper over the frame and then you'd paste dope on it.
	That's what it was called, dope?
	It was a paint.
	Yeah, but it was called dope.
	You have to dope the wings and it would tighten up.
	Yeah, it smelled great.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So he takes off.
	He probably reaches an altitude of about 200 feet.
	Well, I'll play the clip for you, then I'll give you my assessment.
	But then I'll play the other clip, which you didn't hear.
	321 voice tower, runway one to a right, line of point.
	321, I'd like to turn back in and land.
	Coming back in.
	3-3.
	Right, what?
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, okay.
	2-1, campus takeoff.
	Hold short.
	Cancel takeoff clearance.
	Okay, so what happened there is, and I cut out the takeoff clearance that he received, but I calculated the time from his takeoff clearance to when he made that call, and he probably, he couldn't have been more at like 200-300 feet in altitude.
	If he had an engine failure, which I believe he had, he made a horrible mistake.
	If you have an engine failure on takeoff, you learn you're going down straight ahead.
	Do not, under any circumstances, do not try to turn back and make it to the airport.
	This is like rule number one.
	Do not turn back.
	You are going to land straight ahead.
	Wherever you're going to land, hopefully there's a field, hopefully there's some room, but if you make a turn, you're going to lose too much altitude and you will die, which is what happened.
	I will also point out, Steve Appleton crashed previously, and he punctured his lung, he wrecked his liver in a stunt plane.
	He was an excellent pilot, but a bit of hubris there, I think, and he overestimated what he could do in his land care.
	So he had a crash in 2007.
	What you didn't hear is he already had aborted a takeoff before this fateful event.
	Here's the audio of that.
	I wonder if Charlie's going to land here and stop.
	We have a problem.
	Thanks.
	Air 1 Lima, Charlie, roger.
	9, Air 1 Lima, Charlie, do you need any assistance?
	Negative.
	I'm going to taxi back and see if I can figure it out.
	Air 1 Lima, Charlie, roger.
	Turn right.
	Contact ground.
	Contact ground.
	So he had taken off previously.
	He noticed a problem, went back to the airport, requested landing.
	He said, I'm going to land.
	I got a problem.
	He said, I'll take care of it.
	Went back to his hangar.
	And whatever he was supposed to take care of, he didn't.
	Could this be sabotage?
	Extremely possible.
	But if he had a problem, I think this guy was just a hot dog.
	He was like, yeah, I can fly with this.
	Maybe just the light is flickering or whatever.
	But you'll not hear that.
	All you hear is a discredit of general aviation in general.
	However, in light of all this analysis, I told Miss Mickey I will never again go on a scheduled flight in a small aircraft.
	If I'm just going to show up somewhere and just fly, that's okay.
	Because I do believe that this is being used with increasing frequency to kill people.
	And as you pointed out, John, billions of dollars are at stake.
	So this guy maybe had something seriously wrong.
	Well, in your case, I don't see that, but this other guy, yes.
	Well, it depends on, I don't know, yeah, you're right.
	No one gives a crap about me.
	Yet.
	Yeah.
	No, you're probably right.
	Anyway, so the only thing that's...
	They might just do it to make an example out of you.
	Yeah.
	Well, the thing that's just disturbing is that stock goes up and profits go up and...
	Yeah, no, there's something fishy when that happens.
	Well, not fishy.
	Generally speaking, when a CEO, something bad happens to a CEO, the stock does not go up.
	No.
	And all I've got left is that the Eurozone, while everyone here in the United States of Gitmo Nation will be distracted, I think we're probably going to see, I'm going to guess, 80 million people will watch the Super Bowl.
	That's going to be my estimate.
	What's the number on that?
	I sent you a link to this website that has all the stupid bets you can make.
	When did you send this?
	I sent it after I sent the clips.
	Scroll down is the subject line.
	Got it.
	And if you start looking at these bets, these are bets that include, and the odds for these bets include what color would the gator aid be that they dump on the winning coach.
	You can actually bet on that.
	Which seems like the easiest bet to rig.
	So is one of the bets how many people will watch?
	I think there's an over and under on the number of people viewing.
	The problem is there's so many of these bets.
	Total receptions by a sustained touchdown.
	Who will throw the first touchdown?
	Blah, blah, blah.
	Halftime bets, odds to win MVP. Over 117 million viewers is minus 150.
	Under 117 million viewers, plus 110.
	So that's the over and under.
	And generally speaking, these sorts of bets, the odds makers nail it.
	So 80 is way low.
	I'm sticking with 80.
	And the Giants will win.
	But that's okay.
	We can disagree on that.
	But while that's happening...
	Wait a minute.
	Who gives a crap?
	I don't give a shit.
	Yeah, put it in the book.
	I don't give a crap.
	crap because what's going to be happening is the hero Greece has their This is the deadline.
	Today is the final, final, final, final deadline.
	We've already had a couple of this is your last chance.
	Now it's the final, final.
	Depending on what happens today, we'll determine whether Papadamus will tender his resignation tomorrow.
	I thought he was already bailing out.
	No, no.
	He will tender his resignation tomorrow if they don't make it happen.
	What is it all about?
	Of course, they need the 130 billion euro extra bailout.
	They have not signed the paperwork.
	The reason why...
	This will blow you away, man.
	The reason why is they want to...
	Okay, what is...
	They want a 25% cut in minimum wage.
	Yeah, that's a classic.
	Do you know what the minimum wage is?
	In Greece?
	Yeah, gross.
	The gross minimum wage.
	So before taxes...
	Tell me.
	751 euros a month.
	So take home is like 375?
	375 euros a month?
	Yeah.
	Well, no wonder people are pissed off.
	And they want to cut that?
	Well, I'm looking at minimum wage Greece public data, and that number that you're giving us has increased to 800-something a month.
	So I think you're off on this one.
	Well, I'm reading here the minimum wage, $751 a month.
	Where are you reading that?
	Let me see what this is.
	I think this is Reuters.
	Well, I mean, but, okay, 750 or 800, I mean...
	It's 876 as of July.
	So why would they be giving a bogus number that's so far off?
	And that's euros.
	Interesting.
	I don't know why they're giving a bogus...
	Where are you getting this from?
	Minimum...
	Google.com slash public data.
	No, seriously, I'm looking around and it's all over the map.
	The minimum wage in Greece was $559 back in 2005.
	Here, I see here from the Wikipedia, 751 euros and 39.
	Yeah, but that is not from the latest months.
	I mean, Google has a chart showing it going up and up and up every month.
	Yeah, their source is Eurostat.
	Okay.
	So, who are you going to believe here, dude?
	Eurostat or Wikipedia?
	I think the people who are actually writing Wikipedia are probably entering the correct amount.
	Could be Clinton's folks, for all you know.
	Yeah.
	It's not a lot of money, let's put it that way.
	But to cut it by a quarter, 25%, yeah, no kidding!
	So the troika is all over this, and if it doesn't happen, then it could be all over.
	And I have now, you've turned me into a nutjob.
	I've been tracking this Baltic Dry Index.
	You're freaking me out, man.
	This is a freakout.
	I told you.
	Yeah, I don't think we explained that properly on the last show, because even after the show, you and I spoke for a few minutes, and you were like, look at this thing.
	So it was at like 16,000?
	I think 12,000, 11,000 something.
	Right, and now it's under 600.
	Yeah, like a 20 to 1 drop.
	And what this does is it represents the movement...
	Of commodities around the world.
	Is that a fair assessment?
	Yes, and it reflects movement of foodstuff, raw materials, coal, coke, steel, unprocessed steel, scrap metal.
	I think the coke is moving just fine.
	I don't think that's the problem.
	I think...
	And rice and wheat and I assume petroleum too.
	And yeah, it's down to nothing.
	I mean, there's a bunch of variables you have to consider, which is, for example, they felt that the flooding in Australia took place in the coal mining areas and so coke...
	Wasn't going to be exported from Australia, and that was accounting for some of it.
	And then because of that big boom that took place in 2007-2008, the whole bunch of new ships were built, so there's too much capacity and not enough product.
	But it seems to me that that thing pretty well marks the way the stock market goes, except recently.
	And recently, the stock market's going up, and that thing's going down, and that thing is like a 30-day leading indicator.
	So the stock market should collapse.
	In between now and middle of March.
	Did you bring this up with Horowitz on the show?
	We'll do it on Tuesday.
	You might want to do the show on Monday, and this whole thing could come apart before then.
	It's gone so fast.
	But if you look at it, the last time, it's now going below the 2008 numbers.
	Did that happen before or after the Lehman collapse, when the Baltic Dry Index went down?
	I don't know.
	I mean, all I know is that when it went down, it was four weeks later that the stock market collapsed and the housing crisis came to the fore and the whole economy went in the toilet.
	Took four weeks.
	Wow.
	Yeah, it's a scary index.
	It's just scary.
	Wow.
	So anyway, while everyone's jumping for joy over this great unemployment number, I think they should be looking at this instead.
	Except for the one million people who don't count anymore.
	Hey, citizen, you don't count anymore.
	Get out of my way, you non-human resource.
	You got another clip you want to play us out with, or what do you got?
	What are we doing?
	We're way over time here, man.
	We're running really late.
	Yeah, we are.
	This show just ends when it ends.
	Well, okay, then let me end on this note.
	We know as a fact, it is a fact...
	Fact!
	It is a fact that the French do not support this show.
	Oh, yeah.
	We have one guy...
	Well, the French hate anything American.
	We got one guy...
	Yeah, one guy, and he's not in France.
	But the French do not support this show.
	And what comes around, goes around, my friends.
	Nicolas Sarkozy, le migette de Napoleon de France, announced yesterday, every car in France will now be mandated to be equipped with a breathalyzer, Starting in the spring of 2012, your car will not start unless you blow it.
	Wow.
	I'm surprised the French put up with this crap.
	Well, it just goes to show.
	They're all asleep.
	They're like, yes.
	Jean-Claude, I think that is a very good idea from our president, Mijet, Sarkozy, Napoleon.
	So we have 4,000 deaths per year.
	He is saving people.
	So blow my car, save a human resource.
	This is very, very good, Jean-Claude.
	You are against this?
	It won't work.
	What do you mean it won't?
	Well, it won't.
	I mean, there's too many glitches in a system like that.
	I mean, you'll be sober as a judge, and you'll blow into it, and it will say you're drunk.
	I mean, you can just see this kind of thing happening.
	The president's off.
	You'll be in an emergency.
	A bunch of guys are coming at you with knives and guns, and they're shooting in the air.
	You're freaked out.
	You're like, your adrenaline's pumping.
	You jump in your car, you grab the keys, and then you gotta, please blow into the thing.
	What is blow in French?
	Give me Google Translate.
	Thank you Google.
	This is the only thing I like Google for.
	Maps and Translate.
	Hold on a second.
	Where's Translate?
	Translate.
	I think I'd look up the word exhale.
	Please, no, it's funnier if you say blow.
	Please blow the car.
	And I'm translating from French, from English to...
	Hey!
	I can only translate to Spanish or Arabic.
	What is that?
	You got it set up wrong.
	What are you doing with Arabic on your machines?
	S'il vous plaît, saute la prise en charge.
	No, please blow the car.
	S'il vous plaît, saute la voiture.
	S'il vous plaît, saute la voiture.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
	S'il vous plaît, saute la voiture.
	There we go.
	Okay, here's the scenario one more time.
	This guy's running after you, John!
	What are you going to do?
	I'm going to run for the car as fast as I can.
	I'm going to jump in, grab the keys, put them in the ignition, and then...
	S'il vous plaît, saute la voiture.
	I'm shot.
	Shot dead in the seat.
	This concludes this week's broadcast of Playtime at Radio.
	I'm telling you, s'il vous plaît, saute la voiture.
	Yeah, copy that and make it a regular.
	Can we do different voices or is that all we got?
	I think that's it.
	I think we better quit while we're ahead.
	I think that's a good idea.
	Remember, blowing your car gets you places.
	music Alright everybody, so enjoy whatever you're going to do on the rest of your Sunday.
