	I will not use that word or ginormous.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, February 23rd, 2012.
	Time for Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 385.
	This is No Agenda.
	Jamming all GPSes here at Cam MoFo in the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin, Texas.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're only 15 episodes away from episode number 400 on the No Agenda Show.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Crackball and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	That's right, man.
	400 episodes of love.
	Okay.
	Maybe not.
	Maybe not really love, but yeah.
	Two, check two.
	One, two.
	Two, two.
	All right.
	Check two.
	Check two.
	Two, two.
	So it looks like the Israelis are going to use drones to guard the Leviathan oil field.
	Really?
	Of all the things I thought I would have picked up as a story, you found it, huh?
	I didn't hear it.
	Israel to use drones.
	Really?
	To guard gas fields from Hezbollah.
	Really?
	I need that link.
	That's fantastic.
	World Tribune.
	It makes so much sense, doesn't it?
	Sure.
	It's so cheap.
	I mean, it doesn't make sense for the military-industrial complex, but...
	You know, I was thinking...
	It's funny you bring this up, because I was watching a...
	What was I watching?
	Some China fellow who was demonstrating his drones, and they can go, like, 70 kilometers an hour, 2 kilometer distance, and or altitude, and with the camera.
	And he's like, oh, this is going to replace helicopter pilots.
	Of course, it's true.
	And I'm looking at that and I'm like, our game show, Win, Lose, or Drone, it should really be kind of like, it is a running man thing, but you have a shotgun.
	And these drones start flying around.
	You get a shotgun or the shotgun is on the drone?
	No, the drone has a taser and it can shoot beanbags.
	But you get a shotgun and it's like a skeet shooting game, except the skeets shoot back.
	So how would you score this?
	I mean, would the drones throw a beanbag or a taser bomb at you and then you'd be knocked out and you'd lose?
	It's like Space Invaders.
	So these drones are coming at you and it starts with one or two and they're happy little colors, right?
	And they're easy to knock off.
	And then as you keep going, and of course you're in some bombed out city or something, so you do have some places to kind of hide.
	Some of them are explosive and basically if one of them gets you, then the game ends.
	Can you get killed?
	Yeah, that's the getcha part.
	I think it would be cool with a skeet shoot angle.
	It's something no one's talking about.
	I think it would be cool to have a nice shotgun that you can run around with.
	If you see the drone, you turn and shoot it.
	Drone hunt.
	That's what we'll call it.
	Drone hunt.
	I'm telling you, hear me now, believe me later.
	This show will eventually be on the air.
	And you and I will probably be sitting on this damn podcast going, I told you.
	We need to get a piece of that.
	We need to get a piece of that action, man.
	I need some points.
	In the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground and feet in the air.
	Attention, Mr.
	and Mrs.
	America and all the ships at sea.
	They're coming.
	It is useless trying to resist them.
	Remain calm.
	What we originally thought were flying saucers are actually an invasion like we have never seen.
	They mean us no harm.
	They've come to bring their message to the masses.
	They're here.
	So this was a... .
	Commercial on local Austin television.
	Guess what that was for?
	Mars Needs Women?
	The Volkswagen dealership.
	I guess the new Jetta.
	I have like three different stations on at one time.
	I think this was maybe...
	It must have been...
	I don't know if it was a local station.
	The new Jetta.
	And I hear this, attention all ships at sea.
	I'm like, who's ripping us off now?
	And I look over...
	And I'm like, what is this?
	And they have all this old footage.
	You know there's some guys at some advertising agency in Austin going, hey man, I got a good idea.
	Not that I heard this anywhere or anything, but I got a cool idea to use something.
	Well, you know, they can do stuff like that in a little town like Austin, which is just cosmopolitan enough to have a few creative people there.
	A few!
	We have more than a few.
	We have more than a few.
	We have a bunch of suits.
	We got tons of creative people here, man.
	What y'all saying, boy?
	Anyway, I also want to say in the morning to all of the human resources who are checking in at noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net, Mr.
	Oil and Gitmo Slave have a new system set up, which I guess is working now, so people can hear us streaming live.
	I hope so.
	But I know the majority listen on the podcast, but boys, it's appreciated to have those human resources bitching at us in real time, sitting us straight, keeping us on the straight path, straight and narrow path.
	Keeping them honest.
	Do not use Anderson Pooper's slogan on this program.
	So last night...
	I got a bunch of Pooper stuff.
	Oh, good.
	Well, we rushed home.
	Why?
	Well, because the presidential, the GOP X Factor starts at 7 here.
	We're on central time instead of 8.
	So we had a nice bite to eat and watch the sunset.
	Which, by the way, in Texas are spectacular.
	Just the most beautiful sunsets you've ever seen.
	It's all that dust in the air.
	Okay.
	Whatever.
	Mr.
	California A. It's so healthy where you live.
	and so we get home Now, many people will only see snippets of these so-called debates and don't actually see the whole thing.
	Don't actually see how often they try to screw over Ron Paul where he had to actually interrupt.
	Excuse me, can I answer the question?
	By the way, John, as a television executive, which is how we analyze most of this, I mean, they had these little desks that they had the guy sitting behind.
	They should have had like a little cup with crayons on every desk.
	It was the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
	Yeah, it was pretty different.
	They were too tiny.
	They did switch it up.
	I liked it.
	They put Ron Paul on the left-hand side next to Santorum, then Romney, then Gingrich.
	So it was a good mix-up.
	The director was horrible.
	He was cutting to stuff too fast.
	He would stay on people way too long.
	You knew a question was coming because it was almost like they were previewing the camera for the question in the audience.
	I'm like, why are they showing the shot of this guy?
	And like, oh, okay.
	And then John King would say, oh, time for a question from the audience.
	Whoever was directing, or the technical director maybe, had sticky keys.
	But the thing that really got me is this episode of the president, the GOP X Factor, the opening montage.
	I don't know if you had a chance to catch it.
	I missed the first five minutes.
	Oh, the opening montage.
	I think they actually got the guy now from X Factor to do the voiceover.
	And I swear to God, you'll hear this thing, this open, and after it, you just want Ryan Seacrest.
	You don't want John King.
	It's just like, where's Ryan?
	I'm ready for this.
	Listen to this, John.
	Listen to how they title the contestants in this contest.
	In Arizona tonight, a grand showdown in a presidential contest that's been all over the map.
	If you don't like the state of the race right now, wait a couple weeks.
	This has been like riding Space Mountain.
	The Republican race could take another turn right now when the GOP candidates return to the debate stage.
	Rick Santorum, the late contender.
	Listen to the late contender.
	It's a two-man duel now, and he'll be the one left standing.
	I stand here to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama.
	Mitt Romney, the long-distance runner, says every rival that's threatened him has made him stronger.
	Yeah!
	My conservatism is to the core.
	Newt Gingrich, the determined challenger, vowing to compete, win or lose, until the last votes are cast.
	And now, we intend to change Washington, not accommodate their cause.
	Ron Paul, the delegate hunter, keeping his campaign...
	Ron Paul, the delegate hunter.
	I can't believe I missed that.
	That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
	It's the duel in the desert.
	And then you get John King again, the worst.
	I mean, this guy should be ashamed of himself.
	I have a couple of poignant clips that just kind of explain what I'm talking about when I say this.
	And I might want to run them.
	Let me open up my clip file.
	Play the one, Santorum.
	I only have this cut.
	I just cut it off.
	I just want you to listen to the question and then start to listen to Santorum's answer and then I'll finish off by explaining what happened.
	Santorum on contraception.
	You told an evangelical blog, if elected, you will talk about what, quote, no president has talked about before.
	The dangers of contraception.
	Why?
	What I was talking about is we have a society, Charles Murray just wrote a book about this, and it's on the front page of the New York Times two days ago, which is the increasing number of children being born out of wedlock in America, teens who are sexually active.
	What we're seeing is a problem in our culture with respect to children being raised by children, children being raised out of wedlock, and the impact on society economically.
	He goes on and on and on like this.
	He never talks about the dangers of contraception.
	He actually talks...
	He gives the counter-argument of why contraception might actually be important because you're having all these babies everywhere.
	It went on for five minutes with this crap.
	And John King...
	Never says jack about it.
	He's asked him a question.
	What's the dangers of contraception?
	He doesn't even come close to answering it.
	He goes off the deep end about teenage pregnancy, which seems to me to be the obverse of the dangers of contraception.
	I figured this out, by the way.
	What is wrong with this guy?
	Well, I figured out what's going on with the contraception thing.
	So we have to understand that we have these super PACs.
	And the super PACs basically control the media messaging.
	Because all these millions of dollars go through the super PACs straight to the media.
	As you've pointed out, John, the whores at the mainstream media companies, they just want more of it.
	So, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	We'll talk about your ad.
	We'll run it.
	Do a media buy.
	We'll talk about it.
	Yeah, whatever the issue is, we'll talk about it.
	It's all good.
	So the problem with the super PACs Is that you can have money coming in.
	We could basically set up a super PAC. Let's say we were raging liberal Democrats, and we set up a super PAC for Rick Santorum.
	And we'll just call it the Rick Santorum is Awesome Super PAC. And we will then go pour $10, $20 million into media messaging, and we know that we'll get our deals, because that's how it works, you know, money talks.
	And this happened, do you remember the debate with George Stephanopoulos?
	And it was the ABC debate.
	Now, ABC is, of course, super compromised, and this is where this issue came up for the first time with Romney.
	And it came so out of left field, and even Romney was like, I don't understand.
	Why are you asking me this question?
	No one's talking about this issue whatsoever.
	No, this is the one where he just was flabbergasted by the question.
	Because, well, Stephanopoulos is, of course, a Clinton operative.
	This is why he introduced this question.
	It is completely done with one reason and is to get the Republican Party bitching and moaning and fighting.
	And Santorum is a total idiot.
	The guy actually is sitting there believing that he's great.
	You can see it in his eyes.
	He believes that he has a chance.
	He doesn't understand that he's being played like a Stradivarius fiddle, my friend.
	So they've pumped this guy up.
	All week, for two weeks, all we hear is contraception, religion, and Santorum is such a doofus.
	Satan is attacking America.
	And meanwhile, Obama is like, this is great.
	Good job, guys.
	You got them all off-message.
	They're not talking about the economy.
	They're talking about the rubbers and the pill.
	This is very, very, very dangerous.
	For the Republican Party who want to unseat Obama.
	And it's working!
	They're so stupid!
	Yeah, well, Santorum is definitely at the top of the list.
	He's definitely the dumbest of the four guys.
	There's no doubt about that.
	Did you see the subliminal messaging outside?
	It's all over the net, and I tweeted a picture of it.
	I retweeted, I should say.
	So they cut to this.
	They're going to commercial.
	They only had like three commercial breaks.
	They cut to commercial.
	You see a whole bunch of signs, most of them Ron Paul signs.
	But then if you freeze frame it, and you know the subliminal stuff works, it's actually outlawed.
	You can't do subliminal messaging.
	So, you know, people saw it.
	That's why a lot of them tweeted this picture.
	There's a guy holding a sign, a professionally made sign, at least, you know, like with real fonts and printed, and on a piece of wood or cardboard.
	And it says frothy mix, like Santorum, frothy mix, anal lube, and fecal matter.
	And CNN broadcasts that.
	Yeah, it's fantastic.
	So, not only is Santorum being played, but the audience is being played.
	And which is correct.
	This is why it's an entertainment show.
	This is why I thoroughly enjoy watching it.
	Although, unfortunately, it doesn't do much for the country.
	It's not going to help America much.
	No, not at all.
	And, you know, I've had a...
	An interesting email conversation with Doug Weed.
	Remember Doug Weed?
	Yeah, I do remember Doug Weed.
	He's the guy that showed up and we're like, hey, who is this guy all of a sudden?
	And he's now the spokesperson and senior advisor for Ron Paul's campaign.
	They had a very interesting email back and forth with him.
	And what happened?
	Well, so the last thing we discussed, I said, look, listen, hear me now.
	I truly believe, I think, you know, the constant messaging, great, you know, it's fantastic that you have Ron Paul not wavering, not falling for the traps.
	But I think the people are ready to understand that we don't need Romney to go kill brown people in sandy areas to protect pipelines and oil and gas transport.
	And we came back with an interesting response saying, yeah, I totally agree on that analysis.
	But then when it comes to the...
	I thought Ron Paul was really good last night, but I think he failed on the Iran thing.
	And when he gets...
	Well, I was very disappointed in his performance, to be honest about it.
	Yeah, I agree.
	Not finishing the sentences is the problem.
	He'll...
	Have something that he just...
	You know what he's going to say.
	You know what he's talking about if you've been following him.
	But if you're just listening to him cold, it's like, can't this guy finish a sentence?
	I agree.
	And when he gets excited...
	And it's very poorly, you know, and he gets excited and he talks to...
	He tries to talk fast because they don't give him enough time, so he rushes.
	When he gets excited, then he completely messes up his sentences.
	So he said, okay, look, I know that you aren't listening to me.
	I've tried to explain this several ways.
	Let me attack it from an economic perspective.
	And instead of saying...
	If you say it like this, the reason why Russia left Afghanistan, where they were for over a decade, is because the whole process had bankrupted Russia.
	The way it came out of his mouth was, the reason why the Russians left here is like, ugh...
	It had no impact.
	It was funny in the beginning when he said Santorum is fake.
	That was very strong.
	But I agree.
	And particularly the Iran issue, he didn't nail it.
	He did not nail it.
	It was very disappointing, I agree.
	He had the right idea.
	Well, of course he has the right idea.
	We all know that.
	He's got the right idea.
	I mean, maybe we just say, hey, American people don't want to kill brown people in sand anymore to protect oil and gas interests.
	Get over it already.
	And these douchebags are all in on it.
	I mean, what difference does it make?
	That would get the point across, but, you know.
	Yeah, but we can't do that because, I don't know.
	That's kind of what I was trying to tell Doug Weed is, just say something to the American people that they understand in English.
	Well, I have this clip.
	I don't want to...
	There's a couple other things these guys are doing that are weird.
	The one that got me, and I thought that maybe Ron Paul would come in out of this, only he just got screwed out of most of these.
	You know, they do three, and then they skip it, and then they do three, and then they skip it.
	Then they just ask some generalized question, and they go to him first.
	Yeah.
	So it has the least impact.
	I mean, it was so rigged, it was ridiculous.
	But the one that got me was, I think, Failure to Answer Questions Right is the clip.
	Why don't you play that, and I'll explain what I'm talking about.
	Why was George W. Bush wrong in his efforts to save the auto industry?
	And why was Barack Obama wrong to continue the effort?
	Senator Santorum, I want to go to you first with this question.
	You, like your friends on the stage tonight, oppose the auto bailout.
	Michigan votes on Tuesday along with Arizona.
	We assume folks are watching there tonight.
	Address your answer to an auto worker who may believe strongly that he or she has that job tonight because of the help, the bailout.
	I would just say to them that I, in principle, oppose government coming in and bailing out a sector of the economy or an industry with government dollars and with government manipulation of that market, which is exactly what happened twice in 2008 and 2009.
	The first time it happened was the Wall Street bailout.
	On principle, I opposed the Wall Street bailout.
	Even though I understand people, reasonable people could disagree, I felt that having the government come in in such a major way and have a huge influence...
	Now, all these guys answered this question pretty much the same way, except...
	Oh, incorrectly.
	...Santorum for not really, you know, he was opposed in principle with crap.
	The question was, addressed the answer to auto workers who think that they have their job because of the bailout.
	And not one person answered it in an obvious way that would indicate they have some understanding of either business or workers.
	They never addressed the workers.
	And all you had to do was say, and you would have gotten away with this and you would have buried everybody else.
	And you could start with look.
	Which is always a good one because people at home go, what?
	Something's going to be sick.
	Going through bankruptcy doesn't mean you're going to lose your job.
	You would have the same job today if the process had gone its normal course.
	What you've got now is a job where you're struggling.
	Just short of working for the government.
	You don't want to work for the government if you're in the private sector because there's no possibility of getting out of that government payment system, the GS, whatever it is.
	So workers out there, you would still be working.
	You might actually be doing better.
	There may be even more factories running under the bankruptcy laws.
	That's what they do is to protect the company.
	It's to protect the company from creditors.
	It's not to turn the company over to the government.
	So the workers, you know, and not one person said this to anybody.
	No.
	They just blah, blah, blah, blah.
	They don't even give a crap about the workers.
	No, all they did was attack the unions.
	And Obama.
	Yeah, and if I were there, I would have said, look.
	I would have said what happened is they paid back all the money to the government because they got a cheaper loan from the private sector, which is the way it should be in the first place, except without kicking out your CEO and everything by government mandate.
	John, how come we're not running for president?
	We'd be so much better.
	Well, maybe we'd choke.
	We'd be very dead.
	That's what we'd be.
	Well, we would be.
	They don't...
	You just don't push in.
	Could you imagine...
	Could you imagine us?
	Could you imagine me with my Tourette's and you with your...
	Look!
	What?!
	Are you kidding with that question?
	Actually, I have to still give credit to Gingrich for doing that better than anybody else.
	Whatever he's asked, he says, well, that's not the right question to ask.
	Yeah, he's very good.
	It's not the right question.
	You're asking the wrong question is my favorite thing he says.
	So, Mr.
	Gingrich, have you been killing anybody recently?
	You're asking the wrong question.
	The question should be whether Obama is going to do this again.
	I know.
	He's good.
	And they don't stop him from doing this.
	He's good.
	John King is the biggest loser in the universe.
	John King sucks at this.
	They obviously put him on because he's a softballer that can't call these guys out for not answering the questions or anything else.
	It's unbelievable.
	Did you see his eyes?
	They were like...
	You think he was coked out again?
	No, he would have been taught.
	No, no.
	But he was on something.
	He was on something.
	His pupils were like dilated.
	Maybe they had to slow him down or something because if he's normally speedy self from whatever, it could be natural high, he talks too fast.
	Well, anyway, so was this the last debate?
	Now we get to...
	We wish.
	Let's take a look in the book of knowledge and see if there's any more debates coming up.
	No, I think...
	I think they all canceled the next debate before Super Tuesday, which is coming up, right?
	Isn't it like...
	Tuesday.
	No, no, no.
	Like March 7th or something?
	It's a Tuesday.
	I know that.
	Yeah.
	Is it Fat Tuesday?
	No, Fat Tuesday was yesterday or the day before.
	But it is interesting how Super Tuesday is right around Mardi Gras.
	Hmm.
	Can't be any coincidence.
	Debate schedule.
	Here it is.
	All right.
	While you're looking that up, another interesting donor to the Super Pax.
	Here, this is it.
	22nd was today.
	March 1st, canceled.
	March 5th, canceled.
	March 19th on PBS in Portland, Oregon.
	They're going to have it.
	PBS? Yeah.
	Well, that might as well not have a debate.
	Yeah, that looks like the last one.
	And before Super Tuesday.
	I don't know when Super Tuesday is.
	Consult the Book of Knowledge when it's Super Tuesday.
	Meanwhile, I will play a clip of the latest donor to the Ron Paul Super Pack.
	Co-founder of PayPal is pumping cash into the Super Pack.
	Supporting Ron Paul, new filings with the Federal Election Commission show Peter Thiel donated $1.7 million in January.
	That's on top of $900,000 he donated in December.
	The money from the Silicon Valley billionaire accounts for 76% of the Superfax fundraising so far.
	I don't think that's a good...
	March 6th.
	Right.
	March 6th.
	So no more debate until Super Tuesday.
	My point is that...
	Yeah, and there's one after and that's the end.
	Yeah.
	And then it'll be a brokered convention, and that's when Jeb Bush will rise from the ashes, and they'll choose him.
	Everybody's talking about this.
	Romney all the way.
	They're really talking about...
	No, I think Romney's out.
	He's out.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's why they brought those crazy things from 2008, that satanic crap from Santorum.
	That was good.
	To calm him down a little bit.
	You know what he should have done?
	Santorum should have done, you know...
	Have you ever listened to Yes We Can backwards?
	Because that's actually Thank You Satan!
	He's saying Thank You Satan!
	Obama is the Antichrist!
	That's what he should have said, man.
	Now that would have been cool.
	And I bet you a lot of people would have bought into it.
	Yeah, especially the people that like Santorum.
	There are no people that like Santorum.
	But look at the guy's eyes.
	Look at his eyes.
	Look deep into his eyes.
	He believes it.
	He's such a bonehead.
	He really thinks people are loving him and his message.
	He has no idea.
	This guy is set for such a fall.
	I don't think it's going to be much of a fault.
	He's just going to be a little disappointed.
	I think Ron Paul will be the guy with the second most...
	Right now, Ron Paul still has the second most delegates.
	Yeah, but it means nothing because they're going to a brokered convention.
	It means nothing.
	They're not going to a brokered convention.
	Oh, there we go.
	Okay.
	I'm putting it in the book right now.
	You're saying, Romney, I'm saying brokered convention.
	Jeb Bush stands up.
	And, you know, at this point, I think...
	I know that the Bushes, the Bush cabal would love that, but I just don't think it's going to happen.
	Jeb Bush was out there.
	He was out on the road doing something.
	Yeah, you watch.
	Picking up litter?
	No, I think he does more than that.
	Hey, do we have people to credit as executive producers of the No Agenda podcast episode 385, known as the best podcast in the universe?
	Yes, we do.
	We have a whole bunch of people to credit.
	We have two executive producers, as a matter of fact.
	Right on.
	Sean Potts in Beaverton, Oregon.
	First-time donor.
	And he came in with $555.55 because he's going towards his knighthood, obviously, right off the bat.
	I started listening to your show in November on a recommendation from an employee, Matt Correxman.
	Probably Correz.
	Oh, no, it is Correxman.
	I'm sorry.
	You're right.
	I am behind on episodes and just finished episode 375.
	Apparently, Matt's got enough free time to call me out as a douchebag.
	So I figured I'd just take the money that was going to be Matt's bonus and give it to you guys.
	I rounded it up just because.
	So enjoy Matt's bonus and keep up the good work.
	I forgot to ask, could I have a de-douching and a shard of karma for good measure?
	A shard of karma?
	No.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, that's right.
	This is very good.
	I like how...
	There's going to be a lot of pencils that Matt's going to have to steal to make up for this lost bonus.
	No, but this is very good.
	It's like you call out your boss as a douchebag.
	First you get him to listen.
	Then you call him out as a douchebag.
	And then your boss takes your bonus.
	Thank you.
	This is the American way.
	Yes, thank you very much.
	You probably got to the bottom of it.
	Thank you.
	Perfect.
	I appreciate it.
	And welcome to the family, Sean.
	Frank DeZoglio in Jamestown, Rhode Island, came up with $500 to congratulate himself on a birthday.
	It'll be his birthday show.
	But he also needs general karma.
	Puts him over the top for his knighthood.
	Keep up with the great work.
	All your time and efforts appreciated.
	I know January was slow, but as the election approaches, you'll have a lot of great material for the show.
	Hopefully, this will increase the listenership and donors, and it probably will.
	Well, unfortunately, election time does not give us any good material for the show because it's down to the point where it's just boring.
	Well, there's a boring aspect.
	But give him a shot of karma.
	Yes, absolutely.
	You've got karma.
	Then we have a slew of associate executives, Sir Dirk in June Dallup, Western Australia.
	Oh, this was a drunk donation.
	Yes, okay, so I'll have to read it.
	Read it drunk.
	I'll read it slow.
	Okay, here is the sale of my iPhone 4, so you don't have to.
	Minus an eBay fee of 40, what the...
	Mine is new bearings for the boat trailer, $125.
	So there has been very little work of late.
	So the drunken knight suffers financially and I do not know where are my followers.
	I saved some dollars because of Gene Claude's advice on Johnny Walker Gold.
	Man, it's nicer than blue by a long shot.
	But still no work contracts.
	And you complain about donations.
	Perhaps all of us being in IT have lows around Christmas explaining the boners.
	And either way, after this lovely drop of gold, here I donate so that some shill don't have to.
	John, you missed my son's birthday.
	Call out.
	Only ever sober message.
	It's not healthy to get your attention, but man, it's fun.
	So drunk I say, I want plenty more hookers and blow damn Adam at them.
	Where are they that I look but no fine?
	Keep up the good work and don't get hooked too much on a word a person says in my next night which will go to my son.
	Please shoot me some karma.
	I outfished my seven-year-old son and there has to be more jobs on the horizon.
	He'll tell you what the fortune reader says on Thursday in the morning.
	Dirk, those guys in Australia, I love it when they get drunk.
	The Australian guys drunk are cool.
	You just want to hug him and just say, I love you, man.
	281-29.
	He did ask about what Johnny Walker did get, and so I turned him on to the gold, which is the one all the connoisseurs are appreciating.
	Hold on, hold on.
	He needs a karma shot.
	You've got karma.
	We have to look into what happened with the seven-year-old.
	Joseph Lake, without comment, $250.
	Dean Bertram, Sir Dean Bertram, to you in Accra.
	He's in Ghana, I believe.
	Good day, Adam and John.
	Show 385 falls on my birthday, so the timing is right for my usual.
	We put him on the list for birthdays.
	He's not listed here.
	Oh, really?
	He's not?
	Okay, I'll put him on.
	It might be, but I don't see it on the spreadsheet.
	I hope the contribution can keep you supplied in your own favorite frothy mix for another month.
	Okay.
	Sir Bean, another one of our knights, comes in from Thousand Oaks with 224.14.
	ITM slave, Sir Bean here again.
	The best podcast in the universe in honor of the next PR film from my military-industrial academic complex.
	Please accept my donation.
	22412 for tomorrow's date of 22412, which is when that shill Tom Clancy's next movie, Act of Valor, comes out.
	Oh, yeah.
	Featuring real SEAL Team 6 soldiers.
	Yeah, real.
	They're real.
	With real bullets.
	The trailer has all the memes, including a hand-launched drone.
	This thing is way bigger than we thought it was.
	They're going to hit us at home, unquote.
	This ain't gonna happen, unquote.
	Can't wait to see how bad this really is.
	Okay.
	We'll look forward to that, too.
	James Von Aiken in Temple, Texas, right up the street from you.
	Well, not quite.
	2-23-12.
	In the morning, John Adams says, Lake Travis has turned into a puddle.
	I won't be sailing my boat much this year.
	I'm more than happy to spend my boat money on the great work you guys do.
	Please give a shot of karma to my brother, John.
	He needs it.
	Yeah.
	This whole Lake Travis thing is a real problem.
	You've got karma.
	What they're doing is they're selling the water to the rice farmers under some contract from the 1800s or something.
	So whenever it rains, we get some water and they siphon it right off to the rice farmers.
	Huh.
	Yeah, it's messed up.
	So we can't sail our boats.
	You don't have a boat.
	There's nothing better than a boat than having friends with boats.
	Yeah, that's true.
	It's the way to go.
	Matt, Harley in Perth.
	The place we've always wanted to visit.
	You've been there.
	Western Australia, 22222.
	I was wondering if Adam can do me a favor.
	As a former MTV DJ and music industry player, I'd really like to hear what his thoughts are on my band's album, which we wrote, recorded, and released ourselves.
	Don't worry.
	It's not shit.
	H-T-T-P, the disguise.bandcamp.com.
	If Adam could do a short album review on the show, I'd donate all the profits from online sales to the No Agenda show.
	I'm hoping to make a life in the music industry, but not be an evil douchebag.
	Well, then you're not going to do it that well.
	Well, let me just say, I'll definitely listen to it.
	If you want to give us anything, then that's fine, and we appreciate your associate executive producership.
	The only tip I have is if you want to make it in the music business, Make a song that includes the lyrics Rain Man.
	That seems to be important.
	And put some Illuminati hand signals and shit in there.
	Then you're good to go.
	Frank Azenstadt in Armadale, Victoria, 22212.
	Hello, fellow citizens.
	John and Adam haven't recently celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary.
	I thought it was a good time to make another associate executive producer donation in addition to my regular monthly automatic PayPal donation.
	The 22212 represents my wedding anniversary date of 22nd of February 2012.
	Also like a belated birthday shout out to my wife Michelle and my son Rohan.
	Better for you to have the money than the current Rudd slash Gillard clown show.
	Yeah, I got some of that.
	Also known as the current Australian government.
	Yeah, I got some clips from that.
	It's pretty funny.
	John Nagelli in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania.
	In the morning today, 2-21-12 is my birthday, hence the donation.
	I'm in the process of getting a better job.
	Some job karma would be appreciated, Citizen John.
	I'll do him some citizen job karma.
	Hey, Citizen.
	You've got karma.
	John Harrison in Pinehurst, North Carolina, 200.
	Recent email update was a brilliant synthesis of episode 381.
	I look forward to donating a portion of my future pipeline stock earnings of the greatest podcast in the universe.
	Can I get a shot of karma and a MILF from my smoking hot wife, Sherry?
	MILF? That's one, mother.
	I like this.
	You've got karma.
	Hey, regarding that, if you've signed up for our email list, look in your junk folder, your spam folder.
	Because apparently just the way the internet works now is anything that includes a PayPal link will get filtered into junk.
	You know, I'm thinking, John, shouldn't we make an RSS feed for that thing so people can subscribe to that?
	Because I think half the people who were subscribed to the mail list aren't even seeing it.
	Well, yeah, it's a good idea.
	I'll make it.
	I'll do that.
	I'll do that.
	There's actually an archive of all of them that's kept at the...
	We use MailChimp for anybody who wants to use the mailing list program.
	And they keep an archive of all the mailings, and you can actually make that to an RSS, I believe.
	Oh, really?
	Well, let's look at that, because otherwise I'll make that out.
	Cool.
	Sir Black Knight Sir Greg Birch in Port Angeles came up with $200.
	He was enthused that a lot of dentists are supporting the show.
	Of course, he's a dentist.
	He's the official no-agenda dentist, dentite, supporting the show.
	Here's a challenge for all the dentists that listen to get their knighthood and join the order of occlusion.
	Because nothing chews through the weekly bullshit parfait like no agenda.
	This month's been a wealth of deep...
	I thought I was going to continue with puns.
	This month's been a wealth of deep information...
	Informative.
	Informative.
	God!
	Lastly, karma for pharmacists because they are the least appreciated healthcare providers.
	Pharmacists already let us know if a patient is getting multiple scripts from other doctors.
	They already tell us if a patient is doctor shopping for drugs and they tell us if there's new drug interactions that may be dangerous.
	Pharmacists help keep costs down by recommending generics or helping us by...
	Splitting doses.
	Yeah, well, unfortunately, the pharmacist will not be forced into not recommending generics.
	I think that was the entire point of that deconstruction.
	But, Sir Black Knight, Greg Birch, thank you so much.
	We'll give you a little bit of karma.
	You've got karma.
	For the order of the occlusion.
	Now, this one came in late, and I want to remind people that we really do a cutoff at midnight at Pacific Time the night before because it's too hard to get the download from PayPal in the morning.
	But Patrick Brennan came in with $200 saying it's been since show 287 since I first donated, so I thought I'd be a donator again.
	I wanted to call out Mitch Bedron as a douchebag for not donating.
	Douchebag!
	He did, however, teach me in 10th grade what smegma was and the secret sex tickle handshake which got me a nice slap on the face.
	Have you ever done that one?
	Yes.
	Yeah, it's kind of weird when you do it with guys.
	I find the whole thing creepy.
	Please send out some karma to me and my future MILF wife, Yuli, pronounced like Julie without the J, as we are also getting married soon.
	Adam's analysis on Leviathan is amazing and gives new meaning to Spring Source from Arab Spring.
	John plus Adam, your European listeners would be pleased to hear more analysis on the March 23rd date fail of Greece and guesswork if other Gitmo Europeans would park their Euros in cash, Swiss francs, or what before the Greece fire?
	Let me give him a little MILF karma combo here.
	MILF? That's one, motherfucker.
	I like this.
	You've got karma.
	I will say on the Greece thing, March 23rd is the date we hear, and of course now they've received new funds, but Fitch has already downgraded them, which triggers a technical default, so they are going to default fully.
	All that we need is for standards and pours and for Moody's to downgrade the bonds.
	That will trigger all of the hedge funds insurance policies popping open, so it'll be very interesting to watch.
	What is interesting is that March 25th, two days later, is the Greek Independence Day.
	So I think it's nicely timed.
	Yeah, to say the least.
	Sid Incognito in Melville, New York.
	Another donor, Dr.
	Neninger, called me a douchebag because I criticized Adam's coverage of vaccine issues.
	This is quite a coincidence because although I don't know him personally, I've known about his website for a few years now.
	I'm sure Dr.
	Neninger and I disagree on many issues, especially homeopathy.
	But I won't call him a douchebag over it.
	Please send him some karma instead.
	I'm glad my last donation coincided with the big Leviathan discussion.
	Even though you may get some things wrong from time to time, I remain in awe of the amount of work you guys put into your show.
	Thank you very much.
	That's a very kind thing to do.
	Send karma to someone.
	It's like turning the other cheek.
	Turning the other karma cheek.
	You've got karma.
	Very nice.
	I encourage that.
	James Chirf also came in with $200, and Kevin Liang, one of the three, in Richmond, British Columbia, near Spuzzum, $200.
	Is that north of Schmegma, Spuzzum?
	Spuzzum.
	Trying to find that sweet spot during the show for another donation.
	You know when the bills are squared away and the bank account is padded?
	The show 381, the donor pointed out something that will always come up.
	There's never a good time ever.
	That was a wake-up call, and here's some value for value.
	Took some time, but getting close to knighthood now, gents.
	Could I get some karma for my friend Jeff Hemstra?
	Cancer took someone he loved last year and has been hard on him, and all the listeners sitting on the fence over donations.
	Stop stewing around like a frothy mix.
	Step up and give back.
	Adam and John, you guys do great work as always.
	Alright, well here is some screw the cancer karma for your buddy there.
	You've got karma.
	Jeff.
	And that's a great list of executive producers and associates for this week's show 385.
	I want to thank everybody and remind you, it's dvorak.org slash nachannel, dvorak.com slash n-a or the No Agenda show or noagendanation.com You can just click on the donate button there.
	And pick up a cup.
	Pick up a cup and a shirt.
	A quick PR mention, a new domain name forwarding to noagendashow.com.
	Occupypodcasting.com apparently is pointing to our show site.
	I think the Occupy movement may kind of be kind of dead-ish, but appreciate that.
	And there is a Squarespace site which one of our producers set up.
	He is with instructions on how to rig your Google Plus One button.
	And the idea here is, I guess there's a way to set up a custom image that displays when someone hovers over your Google plus one icon to plus one your post or your story or whatever.
	And there's a way to have then the no agenda show art to come up.
	And he has produced a webpage that explains how to do that.
	I'm pointing to it, googleplus.nashownotes.com.
	But this Squarespace site is set to expire in two weeks, so if someone can recode that in HTML and send me the HTML, I'll be happy to set it up on the server.
	But I thought that was also a good gesture.
	You've been following this, John, right?
	This plus one idea.
	You know, no.
	I'm a member of that Google Plus thingy.
	Really?
	And I don't know how anything, it just seems to me to be another one of these social media deals that just benefits everybody from me.
	And also I'd like to thank Maynard.
	For interviewing the legendary John C. Dvorak.
	It was a good interview.
	I heard it last night before I went to bed.
	Oh, he actually published it.
	Yeah, he did.
	I think it's Maynard.com.au.
	And I'm saying it correctly now.
	Maynard.
	I used to say Maynard, but it's Maynard.
	Maynard.
	Maynard.
	And he's doing a great job publicizing and pushing the show down under and also interviewing some of our nights.
	So thank you so much to our executive producers.
	We have two today and a nice list of associate executive producers.
	These are actual credits.
	It's exactly the way it works in Hollywood.
	With the bonus that unlike the phonies in Hollywood, if you need someone to vouch, we'll be happy to talk to anyone and tell them that you actually are a producer in the field of media.
	Meanwhile, all you else can go out and propagate our formula, please.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Mill.
	World.
	Order.
	All right, everybody, say it loud and proud.
	Shut up, say it.
	You know, it's funny when you're working with Maynard.
	He, you know, there's a funny, I mean, he's a pro.
	He's a major pro, yeah.
	He's like a major pro, and so when you work with a pro, it's like, compared to like an amateur, because I do interviews with normal podcasters.
	Which is not a denigrating word.
	No, no, just a normal podcaster, but they're not doing that for a living.
	So they never achieve that kind of screwy professionalism that you can't quite put your finger on, but you know it when you see it.
	And it's just, I mean, he's like way up there in that regard.
	It's actually quite funny.
	I find it amusing to work with such people.
	Well, I find it pleasurable.
	You find it amusing.
	I do.
	I find it amusing.
	But it's good.
	I learned some things about you.
	What?
	That you like Green Day.
	I do like Green Day.
	They're a Berkeley group.
	They're local boys.
	We need to upgrade you on your...
	This is Green Day.
	I like Green Day.
	They're not boys anymore.
	They're like my age.
	Yeah, I know.
	Well, I liked it when they first started off 20 years ago, whenever it was.
	You don't like the Beatles?
	I love the Beatles.
	Well, then there you have it.
	But then why didn't you say I like the Beatles?
	Well, I'm just saying, the Green Day's been around for a while.
	They're long in the tooth.
	Is that what you're saying?
	And I should be upgrading to some hip-hop group?
	Well, it was in context of you saying I listen to classical music all day, which we can totally...
	All of a sudden, I envisioned it.
	I do listen to classical music all day.
	I know, I'm sure.
	You're walking around in your long johns.
	No, no, I've had classical music playing 24-7 in my house.
	I know that!
	I'm giving you, once, thank you, I'm giving you the visual that I had.
	I see you walking around in your long johns, you know, like with this nice, beautiful Cinco de Mayo, classical music playing everywhere.
	And then in contrast to that, yeah, I like Green Day.
	Those kids are good, the Green Day kids.
	Hey, so the couple things that I've been working on, and I'm following very closely what is going on with the campaign contributions, this whole Solyndra thing.
	And I can see that there's a lot of different elements working and trying to Make this look very bad for the Obama administration and they haven't been able to package it.
	And the idea, of course, is that a billion dollars came in in contributions.
	A lot of the people who made these contributions then set up these great green funds and companies and they got all their money back through the American Reinvestment Act, which was essentially the bailout.
	The scam!
	We would call it a scam.
	It is a huge scam using our money to finance his campaign.
	But they can't quite pin it on anybody.
	And this thing about light squared ties into it.
	And I was blown away as I'm researching this.
	I find an interview, and this is from November of last year, and I guess we kind of missed it.
	I know it was there, but the whole light square thing, we were looking at the GPS angle and for drones, and I think I was wrong, because they've been trying to get this out in the forefront.
	And they have the CEO, not the CEO, the lead, the chairman of the investment fund, who, you know, the guy's worth like $2 billion.
	Hold on, let me give you the guy's name for a second.
	And he's on with Megan Fox.
	And the accusation at the time...
	Megan Fox?
	Not Megan Fox.
	Megan Kelly from Fox.
	Whatever.
	Hey, what difference does it make?
	Put Megan Fox on, I'll watch.
	Yeah, I'll watch.
	So Phil Falcone, you know this guy?
	Yeah, he's going to be broke after this whole experience.
	Falcone's a very famous plunger.
	Plunger?
	Yeah, a guy who puts a lot of money into one thing because he thinks he's going to really get rich.
	He's got billions.
	Yeah, he's worth billions, so it's not a problem.
	And so the issue here is that, and we didn't, I don't know if we discussed it, we kind of glossed over it, something else was going on, but they had some general muckety-muck go testify when they were talking about this Light Squared.
	And so he was basically going to say, look, this thing interferes with our military GPS, so we can't, and Light Squared, for those of you who don't know, the idea is a multi-billion dollar A satellite network that'll provide broadband, basically a ring of broadband all around wherever the satellite coverage is, which is kind of cool.
	And the accusation here, which is not the importance of the clip, is that the general was asked by the White House to tone down the rhetoric about that this was bad.
	I thought we played this clip back in November.
	Well, I don't think we did because the thing that hit me...
	Now, I used to be a millionaire.
	I had millions of dollars.
	I used to be a contender.
	And on paper, I was very, very wealthy.
	But I had like $12 million at least.
	And it took me 10 years to spend it.
	And I'm very happy I did.
	Yay!
	I should have died at the end of it.
	But anyway, even when I had that kind of money...
	I don't think I've ever put $90,000 into one investment.
	Really?
	Your helicopter company?
	No, but just to buy stocks.
	I bought helicopters.
	That's different.
	I bought some hardware.
	It's an investment.
	I think it's different.
	Alright, so he's a plunger.
	But I'm not talking about him.
	Listen to the report and you'll find out who put in $90,000 in 2005.
	A powerful new wireless system.
	One that might cause problems, some say, with GPS systems.
	Now this story started back in February of 2005, at least.
	President Obama puts up to $90,000 of his own money into a little known firm at that time called Sky Terra.
	September of 2009, an investor named Philip Falcone meets his future business partner at the White House.
	Six months later, Falcone buys SkyTerra and the company becomes LightSquared.
	January of this year, the FCC gives LightSquared a green light to expand wireless internet bandwidth.
	That was an important ruling for LightSquared.
	Then early this month, Air Force General William Shelton says the White House pressured him to change testimony he was giving to Congress After revealing concerns about Light Squared interfering with military systems, he said the White House wanted him to make his testimony a little bit more favorable, in essence, to Light Squared.
	So, in 2005, then-senator, freshman senator, Barack Obama has 90 grand laying around?
	I guess so.
	A community organizer?
	He's a very successful community organizer.
	Yeah, but $90,000 I find to be quite a lot of money to throw into some startup that has some...
	And this was before Falcone was involved, apparently.
	Sky Terra is what it was called.
	So, you know, so the accusation, which...
	Well, I don't know why they don't make a bigger deal out of this.
	Well, so we didn't make...
	If I had heard this, I would have made a bigger deal out of it then.
	But it gets a little bit better.
	So people have been bailing out of the White House, one after the other.
	And particularly our buddies, Vivek Kundra, Mr.
	Skip Logic, and his boss, Anish Chopra.
	They both bailed.
	Why do you think they bailed?
	Well, listen to this clip.
	...in advance of it.
	And this iWatch News put out the emails, including one that says, I think we've got the full screen, it says, Hi, Anish, which is a reference to Anish Chopra, the president's chief technology advisor back in September, who writes, I touched base with my client, Sanjeev Ahuja, which is the CEO, and he expressed an interest in meeting with you.
	He's going to be in D.C. next week for a fundraising dinner with the president.
	And what your critics say is all these attempts to meet...
	with the White House officials mention that there's also going to be some fundraising going on by the CEO on behalf of Democrats or the President.
	They think it looks bad.
	And so the CEO of this Light Squared is a part of the Indian cabal.
	And he's working with Anish Chopra, the Indian cabal.
	And of course, Vivek Kundra's in on this whole deal.
	That's why these guys bailed out.
	They're like, I'm getting out of here.
	Because there's a takedown a-coming.
	And they haven't figured out how to do it yet.
	But there's a takedown a-coming.
	And it also has to do with the recent FCC remarks about...
	Have you heard about this?
	Spectrum crunch.
	Have you heard this term yet?
	Yeah, I have.
	I've heard it.
	All right, here it is.
	This is Gershaw Bakamansky, the chairman of the FCC. It is.
	You know, I didn't expect that when I came to this job, spectrum scarcity would be a big part of what I'd have to deal with.
	But there's no question that the demand on our spectrum networks generated by smartphones and laptops connecting to the Internet wirelessly, generating huge demand that are putting real pressure on our networks.
	Real pressure on our networks.
	So the way it sounds to me is there's a fight going on, and they still want to push this light-squared thing through.
	And I listened to the entire interview with Falcone, the investor, and he said, really, the problem is not us.
	It's the GPS receivers that the military is using are just shitty quality, and they just need some filters in there to filter out the crap, which typically the problems do lie with the receivers.
	I know this from my CB radio days.
	It was much easier for me to go and fix the neighbor's radio with a little, you know, something on the power line or something like a...
	A choke.
	Yeah, condensers, whatever.
	There's things you can do.
	Yeah, there's all kinds of...
	We don't know.
	Coil, all kinds of stuff, and then it would remove the interference because it's usually just a crappy receiver.
	Filters.
	Yeah, it's a filter.
	And so I think that it's very important that this deal, on the one hand, they want to get it through, and probably Obama wants to get it through because he's seen his 90 grand.
	I mean, we're talking about a $6 billion investment here from this Falcone.
	That's a lot of money.
	And I can understand where there's a lot of shenanigans going on to get this thing happening, and there's forces pushing back, but what I hope will happen, for the country's sake, is it will rise to the top as this incredible scam.
	Of money just flowing.
	Just money flowing everywhere.
	Money, influence, the cabal.
	Yeah.
	No, it's pretty obvious that this is a whole thing.
	It's just a bunch of flying money.
	So be on the lookout for the packaging of this story.
	I think they're really trying to do that.
	And you watch Valerie Jarrett get nailed in the process.
	I hope so.
	I hate that woman.
	I hate her.
	Bad chance.
	I hate her.
	Now, she's going down.
	She's going down.
	So I'm talking about Kundra.
	Oh no.
	He was hired as some sort of a, I don't know, a liaison or something.
	Didn't he go to...
	Executive Vice President, Salesforce, right?
	Yeah, Salesforce, yeah.
	That's weird because if you look at, I know that, and if you look at his wiki entry, Wikipedia, it says...
	Which is truth.
	It doesn't mention, right, it doesn't mention Salesforce at all, but he says he's currently a visiting fellow at Harvard University.
	Yeah, he went there first as a fellow.
	How do they keep up with this stuff better than that unless he's got nobody that monitors?
	He went straight from the White House to the Fellowship, and then from the Fellowship to...
	Salesforce.
	Salesforce, yeah.
	Of course, it's perfect for him.
	A big bag of wind who has a whole bunch of catchphrases.
	He's perfect.
	He's perfect Silicon Valley meat.
	He totally is perfect Silicon Valley.
	And it'll shut him up, you know, so he won't say anything.
	They need to shut people up.
	Like, oh wow, Assistant U.S. Attorney General John Walsh died while snowshoeing.
	Ha ha ha.
	How did that happen?
	Well, he was snowshoeing and he died.
	I mean, make it snowboarding, running into a tree or something, but snowshoeing, really?
	And this guy was in the western district of Oklahoma City.
	When was the Oklahoma City bombing?
	This is the day of questions.
	Yes.
	Okay, I'll consult a book of knowledge.
	Consult!
	Which is actually Google, but here it is.
	April 19th, 1995.
	Okay.
	So it can't be that.
	No, it could be.
	There's been a bunch of...
	Somebody's reopening this thing.
	No, I know, but he was transferred out in 91.
	Oh, okay.
	And then he transferred to the Colorado office.
	I don't think it's that.
	He did...
	I was looking through all the news.
	Now, what's this guy's name again?
	Yeah, it's a tough name.
	You have to do Assistant U.S. Attorney General John Walsh.
	Yeah, John Walsh, you get the new way of Google-washing yourself.
	Have a name like John Walsh or have a name like Jody Foster.
	I'm going to change my name to Jody Foster.
	Hey everybody, in the morning is Jody Foster with you everybody.
	How you doing?
	It's Jody Foster and Tom Cruise.
	Hey Tom, how you doing?
	How did we just do that?
	Tom C. Cruz and Jody M. Foster with you on the radio everybody.
	Alright, Tom.
	So, what he did do is he wrote a really weird letter about marijuana in the state of Colorado.
	Yeah, he's apparently criticized the government for their crackdown that he says is not a bluff.
	Yeah, maybe not such a good idea.
	Maybe not such a good idea.
	So, I was just like, hmm, interesting.
	So, he was apparently for busting up all these medical marijuana stuff.
	He's anti-medical marijuana.
	That's what I'm getting.
	Am I wrong?
	That's what I'm getting, too.
	So, I don't know.
	But, you know, for a guy in his early 60s to drop dead snowshoeing, it's not good.
	Particularly when it's an assistant U.S. Attorney General and you don't hear anything about it.
	You know, it's like, hmm.
	Hmm.
	Huh.
	Well, anyway.
	Okay.
	Probably the forces of, uh, who knows?
	Satan, man.
	Satan did it.
	Satan.
	Satan is attacking America.
	Satan.
	Satan.
	Yeah, for reals.
	I have...
	We can take a break here and take a...
	I was noticing, just as a premise, this...
	Pooper has on...
	Well, let me say one thing.
	Before you get into Pooper, let me ask you one thing.
	Why is it that real journalists, like the chick with the eye patch...
	Why do they get killed and not Anderson Pooper?
	Anderson Pooper's got a million bodyguards and he's in the studio all the time.
	This is mean.
	But send Pooper to Syria!
	He's not going.
	He's not stupid.
	Had you ever seen that woman?
	Did you know of her existence?
	No.
	The woman with the eye patch?
	No, I don't know anything about it.
	Well, you know, she died, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	She was on the front page of today's New York Times, as a matter of fact.
	A little square box with her picture in it.
	So, I mean, to me, this whole thing is like, it's just an addition to the script.
	It's like, okay, no one gives a crap about people anymore, so we can't go in and mess around with Syria because people don't care.
	No, and if you have journalists actually roaming around and they're giving real reports, they're suppressed.
	Well, so she actually, she said on her Facebook to her fellow journalists, she said, I'll probably wind up in front of the firing squad for my next report.
	I'm like, oh really?
	That sounds like it was planted.
	Well, I don't know if it was planted, but to me it's like, we had the guy from the New York Times, he died of an asthma attack.
	Nobody put something like that on their Facebook without sending the report out first.
	Hey everybody, pay attention to me.
	I'm going to blow the lid off something and the heads will roll.
	And I'm behind enemy lines and I'm going to really screw them over.
	Who's going to do that?
	What I find interesting is...
	You sneak out first and then you do your stuff.
	So this is an American-French journalist.
	She's American and then the French photojournalist was also killed.
	And we know nothing.
	We've got pictures of all kinds of bodies, but we don't have pictures of them.
	No video, no nothing.
	Interesting.
	And Sarkozy is coming out and saying, ah, we gotta go in and kick some ass because, you know, they killed a French journalist.
	But we didn't hear him say anything when French journalist Gilles Jacquet was killed in a rebel attack in Syria.
	So only now does it seem to be important, now that we're ramping it up, and even McCain and Lieberman are back with the exact same Libya script.
	I'm not saying that the United States needs to directly supply arms to the Syrian National Army.
	I am saying that there are ways to get assistance ranging from medical assistance to technical assistance such as GPS and other things that we could provide the Syrian National Army.
	Support of the Syrian National Council.
	And there are ways to get weapons into Syria.
	It is time we gave them the wherewithal to fight back and stop the slaughter.
	What an a-hole!
	I mean, I wouldn't even know who these people are, except that they're Al-Qaeda and they're terrorists.
	Yeah, let's just arm some terrorists.
	Good idea there, McCain.
	This guy, I got no respect for him.
	He's an embarrassment to the uniform.
	He's terrible.
	It's just embarrassing that we ran him for president.
	Yeah, well, we didn't run him.
	So all this rhetoric is being, and I think there's something, I think there might be a CIA armed forces thing going on here.
	Well, there's some CIA thing going on because Pooper, get back to my point.
	Yeah, Pooper.
	Pooper had on Bob, what's his name, CIA guys in the CIA. Oh, with the beard?
	And Fran, our buddy Fran Townsend, who's the CIA outside person.
	So we have two CIA people.
	Uh-huh.
	With Pooper.
	How about a professor or a journalist in the field?
	Somebody with a map.
	No.
	CIA person number one and CIA person number two.
	Now, I do have the Bob and Fran Chip and Dale clip here, which is kind of the way, this is just kind of an overview of how this thing kind of went with the two of them agreeing with each other and everything.
	I thought it was pointless, but play that.
	This is a mosaic in this region, Fran.
	How does this compare to what we've seen over the last decade or so?
	Well, as Bob rightly says, this is now, the powder kegs ignited.
	Well, Fran's absolutely right.
	As Bob Brightly says.
	Well, Fran's absolutely right.
	Well, Fran's absolutely right.
	Bob Brightly says.
	Bob Brightly says.
	Hey!
	You spent some time editing.
	So, she also stammers a lot when she gets caught with something where she knows she has to lie.
	Fran is kind of hot, right?
	Yeah, she's pretty.
	She's a pretty woman.
	Okay.
	But she looks, for some reason, she just looks CIA. She doesn't look like a fox pretty woman.
	I like my CIA agents kind of hot.
	So, we have a bunch of clips from this, and there's the journalism thing again comes up.
	Fran Townsend on safe passage of journalists, which I think we debunked in the last show.
	It's bull crap.
	There's a lot of journalists over there, and they are reporting, but if they say anything, if they don't say the right thing, for one, if they say something about the Syrians being a bunch of pricks, then they're roused and thrown out of the country.
	If they give the other kind of report, then no one picks it up.
	No, they get killed.
	That's what happens when a real journalist with an eyepatch is about to say, hey, you know, they're blowing up pipelines and this seems to be about two things.
	The gas that is found in the Leviathan field and probably Syria's role in transporting heroin, then you get killed.
	Play this.
	I don't know that you can move Russia other than to shame them by these horrific videos we see that are where Damon's gotten at.
	The other thing we need to have the international community push for is the safe passage of journalists.
	Sorry, was that the wrong one?
	The background.
	They got a bunch of...
	Yeah.
	Stuff going on.
	Safe passage.
	Yeah, to give you the vibe.
	That's good.
	That's good television.
	And she also, when she says horrific videos, they show a bunch of them.
	I think what they meant by horrific is that these are the worst videos.
	Yeah, that the quality is bad.
	They're not horrible.
	It's not like violence.
	It's just a horrible quality of overexposed.
	Yeah, it's just bad work.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	Yeah, it ain't no wag the dog.
	Let her finish that.
	Well, that was the end of that clip.
	It was?
	Yeah, the other one I have is CIA Messenger.
	Is that the one you want?
	I'll put that one in.
	All right, here we go.
	But, you know, Anderson, what I'm worried about is this is really starting to spin out of control.
	The guy's gay.
	I can hear it in three seconds.
	He's like, Anderson...
	Did you hear that?
	Yeah, I didn't.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, my gaydar went off.
	He's coming on to Anderson.
	What?
	But one thing I want to mention is this is the other CIA person.
	And to me, this was the CIA messenger telling the public what we need to know.
	It's like a backgrounder.
	And I thought it was the backgrounder for the group.
	But, you know, Anderson, what I'm worried about is this is really starting to spin out of control.
	You've got two Iranian ships in Tartus.
	You have the Iranians saying they're going to intervene.
	You've got problems up on the Turkish border.
	And is this going to spread?
	We have to do something.
	I mean, in terms of the level of data...
	So this fits perfectly with my clip.
	So that's the CIA angle.
	We've got to do something, free passage, you know, because the CIA... And I'm thinking, John, I'm thinking this might also have to do with drugs.
	Syria is a big drug trafficking country.
	Here's the other side.
	Very interesting.
	Fareed Zakaria...
	A guy I certainly don't like.
	I don't think you like him either.
	Nope.
	He's very anti-bombing Iran.
	He's essentially anti-American.
	His messages are anti-constitutional, anti-liberty, anti-everything that a libertarian would like.
	But he also seems to be anti-bombing Iran, interestingly enough.
	And he has General Dempsey on, who is the Joint Chief of Staff.
	He's the big kahuna.
	And it's talking about Iran.
	And he says, no, we should not do this at all!
	What would you say to those who argue that the United States should arm the opposition movement in Syria?
	I think it's premature to take a decision to arm the opposition movement in Syria.
	Listen very closely to his words, because he's telling us what's going on without saying it.
	I would challenge anyone to clearly identify for me the opposition movement in Syria at this point.
	And let me broaden the conversation a bit.
	Syria is an arena right now for all of the various interests to play out.
	And what I mean by that is you've got great power involvement.
	Turkey clearly has an interest.
	Why does Turkey have an interest?
	Because of the gas field.
	No, Russia.
	Why?
	Because it's competition to their gas.
	Iran has an interest.
	And what we see playing out is that not just those countries, in fact, potentially not all of them in any case, but we see the various groups who might think that the issue is a Sunni-Shia Competition for, you know, regional control.
	You mean the Iranians on the one hand?
	I do.
	And the Saudis, perhaps.
	The Saudis, on the other hand, I mean, you saw, you know, there's indications that al-Qaeda is involved and that they're interested in supporting the opposition.
	I mean, there's a number of players.
	All of whom are trying to reinforce their particular side of this issue.
	And until we're a lot clearer about who they are and what they are, I think it would be premature to talk about arming them.
	So, for the chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to basically go contrary to his boss's message, i.e.
	the president, who was saying, They had no options off the table.
	Send a clear message.
	We're going to kick their ass, bomb them.
	I think that this is a continuation of the CIA war against other factions of our armed forces.
	CIA, DIA. There you go.
	CIA, DIA. And with the president being another character in this play.
	I picked up on something screwy that Gingrich said in the debates, too, that kind of applies to this.
	And play Iranian practice in closing the Straits of Hormuz.
	The Iranians have been practicing closing the Straits of Hormuz, which has one out of every five barrels of oil in the world going through it.
	Yeah, to Asia.
	When was this?
	When were they practicing closing it?
	Alright, let's close it for a minute, see what happens.
	What were they practicing?
	What were they practicing?
	We were the ones that were practicing it.
	You need a whistle.
	You need to blow the whistle.
	Get ready for practice, everybody.
	Surely, not the slide whistle.
	You need like a shrill whistle.
	Everybody in the pool whistle.
	Yeah, that's the one.
	I gotta get one of those.
	You're right.
	Everybody in the pool!
	It's time to practice closing the Straits of Hormuz!
	I can't believe you don't have a everybody in the pool whistle.
	Believe me, I'll have one for Sunday.
	Oh my goodness.
	That's exactly it.
	This whole thing is just...
	They're insane.
	They're insane.
	They're just all insane.
	I heard the funniest thing.
	Just...
	This clip has been going around.
	Now, you know, I'm going to save that for a little bit later.
	It's the C-SPAN clip about the underwear bomber.
	You probably didn't see that.
	It's lengthy.
	No, it's lengthy.
	I was watching Geithner.
	Oh!
	Little Timmy.
	Yeah, Timmy's on there.
	He's getting more aggressive and he's chewing out these guys.
	Well, he's going to bail, right?
	He's out.
	He's already announced he's bailing.
	Everyone wants to get out because they know Obama and particularly that arse, that Iranian arse, Jarrett, they're going down.
	Well, he's definitely having more fun when he gives his testimony, because I don't have too many clips of this, but over and over again, somebody would ask him a question, and of course he stalls.
	He's like all the rest of these guys.
	They filibuster him, because they know there's a limited amount of time.
	And so his main thing is, the guy will ask a question, look at the guy and go, really?
	You're going to waste your time on that question?
	Really?
	While he's stalling?
	Yeah, I want you to answer the question.
	He says, okay, if you want to waste your time on that question, then you'll start filibustering.
	Wow.
	This is Geithner on killing the economy?
	Actually, this is the one, this is the key.
	Geithner's threat, which Geithner's good at this.
	I think he still sounds like a little kid who talks like this and he's always trying to make stuff up to you.
	Because I didn't knock over the thing.
	I don't have the clip Geithner's threat.
	Well, that is the threat, killing the economy.
	So far?
	Well, it depends on the circumstances.
	You're right to point out the UK experience.
	But, you know, we're not in the position the UK is, nor anything like the rest of Europe in this context, in the sense that we enjoy, still, and you can see it in the prices of US financial assets, I have enormous confidence around the world that this country, this Congress, this city, this government will ultimately find a way to put in place some more substantial long-term fiscal reforms.
	And so there's confidence out there in markets that ultimately...
	Congress is going to come to get and do the right thing soon enough in this context, and that's why we're able to borrow relatively low rates, and you see that confidence in U.S. financial markets.
	If we were to, in the face of being able to borrow at 2 percent for 10-year money, if we were to now decide we're going to try and turn this deficit, swollen by the crisis, swollen by the Bush economic policies, and try to reduce that to balance in two years or three years, you would kill this economy.
	You were the careless economy, and you'd dramatically set back the long-term cause of deficit reduction because you'd swell the long-term deficits by inducing another crisis.
	That's not what the Ryan budget proposes, I would point out, although there are some people who have suggested we need to cut faster now.
	What did he just say?
	He said that...
	Everybody in the pool!
	Sorry.
	You need a real one.
	This guy's a little more shrill.
	This is bad enough.
	Sounds more like some sort of attack of a bunch of the Triffids.
	Alright, so what did Timmy say?
	He said that we can't, all these plans to like start to draw down the deficit and all this preoccupation with this will kill the economy is what he says.
	He says right now we're on thin ice but we're still top in the world and we can stay there as everything collapses around us if we're careful not to do anything stupid that you Republicans are wanting to do.
	Okay.
	Essentially is what he's saying.
	But he talks like this little kid and he's just like, you don't understand why he's even working in this place.
	I'm telling you, he talks like Timmy from South Park.
	I want to stick with Leviathan just for a second.
	News coming out and just trying to fit everything into the pipeline story.
	Moscow and Paris may launch a project to build new gas pipelines from Russia to Europe with growing demand by the EU states.
	There's the competition.
	Popping up its head.
	So this is a news announcement from Monday.
	Parties have come to agreement.
	It is necessary to build new direct gas transport capacities from Russia to Europe.
	So I guess what they're thinking there is piping the gas through Syria and then up and out and then through the existing lines.
	I mean, we have so many Russian pipelines to Europe going through Turkey.
	But that is definitely the competition to this news, where Israel says, and this is what you had essentially, they're going to build the base, the Cypriot-based aerodrome for the Israelis to protect their interest in the gas.
	Well, there's also a couple of articles, and I think why Syria is getting so much attention is that the Leviathan thing goes – it appears to be more vertical than they thought at first, so it actually goes into the area next to Lebanon, which is Syria's – The proxy.
	They're buddies.
	They're buddies.
	And maybe even goes to the Syria area, which now Syria and Lebanon become an energy-producing state, which is why we would always get involved.
	We always get, if you haven't noticed, we point this out on the show a million times, that if there's, you know, that's why you can do Google searches and there's something going on.
	You type in whatever is going on.
	Pipeline.
	Oil or pipeline.
	And you got, boom, there it is, and the explanation falls right in your lap.
	Now, I'm looking at the Russian pipelines, and none of them go anywhere near Syria.
	There is one...
	No, they go up through the Balkans, through Turkey...
	Yeah, some will go through Turkey, some will go straight across to the Ukraine.
	You know what I'd really like?
	Ukraine seems to be the main...
	And then there's this one through Estonia, which is interesting, goes to Berlin.
	I've been searching for a Google Earth KML file, an overlay of pipelines, and I just can't seem to find it.
	No, you know it's there.
	Well, someone will find it.
	I mean, that would be beautiful to have, just all the pipelines.
	And then tell me what it is.
	And you could overlay that with the explosions.
	Right.
	And the so-called earthquakes and all that groovy stuff.
	Eh.
	The one that's interesting is the, I can see where the Russians are like, they have this thing called the Stockman, S-H-T-O-K-M-A-N gas field.
	Yes.
	Which is a huge gas field.
	They want to run a pipeline out from that.
	Yeah, it's an important one.
	Yeah, it's a biggie.
	It's an important one, yeah.
	But there's this great article.
	It's a blog post from 2002.
	And I want everyone to look at that in the show notes after the show.
	I'll actually tell you, what is the title of it?
	It's called The New U.S. British Oil Imperialism.
	And it's from a website, oilcompanies.net, written by Norman D. Livergoode.
	And it takes you back to 1911, and it's basically the days of Standard Oil, Shell, British Petroleum, and how all the colonies...
	The Seven Sisters.
	I'm not familiar with that.
	Yeah, it's the big seven oil companies around the world.
	Well, so, it takes you all the way back, explains how the Second World War was also all about oil, and how Hitler was involved.
	But it's an easy read.
	And then it takes you up to, basically, 1979, where we had the overthrow of the Shah of Iran.
	And from that, we got British Petroleum, BP Amoco, And it really gives you a good overview of how every single war is essentially about protecting either the fuel depot, the transport lines, or the pipelines of oil and now gas.
	It's what it's always been about.
	That's it.
	It's always been about that.
	And I think it's too bad.
	I mean, this blog, I guess, stopped in 2002.
	And it has maps, beautiful maps, shows the existing and potential oil and gas export routes from the Caspian Sea and all that is now in place with the Nord Stream and the South Stream and the Blue Stream and all these different pipelines.
	And it's just, it's so eye-opening, because you can fit this theory, you know, Afghanistan, UNICAL, and we know Karzai was a UNICAL official, you know, that's all been about a pipeline.
	The Pakistan-Afghani border is about protecting the pipeline.
	This is why the Pakistanis aren't doing anything, it's because they need the pipeline.
	It's for them.
	And when you start to realize this, I have to say, it's like a shot of Xanax, man.
	You're just like, ah...
	Yeah, you feel good about it, don't you?
	You just feel like, oh, okay.
	Now at least I understand.
	Not that you can do anything about it, but at least you get it.
	Because when you're being lied to, I think your psyche gets it.
	Yeah, and it causes a problem with the brain.
	It does.
	I played this out in the newsletter.
	It's unhealthy.
	I mean, we could be just blowing smoke, but it's unhealthy, it seems to me, to be bamboozled, befuddled, duped into believing things that aren't true when some part of your system says this doesn't make any sense and you start getting sick.
	You do.
	Brain sick.
	Which brings me to the pharmaceutical industry with some interesting, fun little clips.
	Because I've been paying attention.
	You know, I've been waiting.
	I've just been waiting to see what the pharmaceutical industry is going to do on the heels of Whitney Houston.
	So far, I have not been correct in my assumption, although the legislation has now been introduced into the House by douchebag Bono Mack.
	And, of course, we have Feinstein, and they're going to try and shut down generic medicines.
	That is not in play yet.
	You know, you and I were both kind of agreeing, like, wow, man, they're really hitting the pharmaceutical industry hard with the Xanax thing, and that's Pfizer, hitting them real hard about Whitney Houston.
	And so now, Dr.
	Drew, Sanjay Gupta, and a new player who I will introduce onto the scene are all out there, and this is fantastic.
	They are all out there shilling drugs against addiction to drugs.
	You can't make this stuff up.
	Here is Sanjay Gupta, and he's about to promote a brand new drug on CNN. Addiction is a brain disease, not a failure of willpower.
	There are medicines that actually short-circuit addiction.
	So why aren't they even used more?
	We're going in, death.
	Well, because they haven't been promoted yet.
	First, we've got to get people hooked.
	He's joining us with what we are calling cold turkey in a pill.
	And I honestly...
	Come on, John.
	It's great marketing.
	Cold turkey in a pill.
	I have actually never heard of this before.
	It's interesting, and this is a bit of a cultural shift in terms of how we approach addiction.
	If you call it a brain disease, like I think most people agree, it should be called...
	The science is in.
	It's a brain addiction.
	You're sick, son.
	You're sick.
	You got a problem.
	You're sick.
	You're sick.
	It's evil.
	You're sick.
	You need a pill because you're sick on pills.
	Then it does put other options on the table.
	The idea of treating an addiction to pills with another pill doesn't sit well with everybody, which is why it's been tested for so long.
	Which is why I'm here to promote it.
	It doesn't work for everybody, but I want you to listen, Suzanne, to Walter Kent's story specifically and what it did for him.
	So now they go into this package about a guy who is an alcoholic.
	And I'll just play a little bit of the package because it's funny.
	And he's crazy.
	And this is such a good commercial because they conduct the interview in a bar.
	This is the last place you'd expect to find a recovering alcoholic.
	One of my old favorite watering holes.
	But this is where Walter Kent hangs out.
	A bar called Goober's.
	Walter is a giant of a man.
	But for most of his life, he couldn't find the strength to put down that bottle.
	I was the type of person that the only time I drank was when I was alone or with somebody.
	Other than that, there was never a classic problem.
	He tried rehab and AA. Nothing worked.
	Nothing seemed to get rid of that urge.
	I couldn't get rid of the craving.
	But then in 2000, he tried again, an experimental program at Brown University.
	This time, he got counseling once a week and a daily pill, a medicine called naltrexone.
	Naltrexone.
	Okay.
	So the package continues, and the guy's like, it's fantastic.
	My life has changed.
	I was an alcoholic.
	I tried everything.
	Naltrexone was in one of our shows recently.
	What was it we were referring to?
	What was the deal?
	Or naltrexone.
	I don't recall that being in one of our shows.
	Yeah.
	I do.
	Well, you looked that up.
	Somebody mentioned it somewhere.
	Well, let me bring you part two, because just to show you how this has happened, and all of this has stemmed from Whitney Houston.
	So they picked up the addiction meme, and they're just running with it.
	So you've got, on the one hand, the legislative part that has not emerged yet, and now it's like, you're hooked on our pills, we've got a pill for that.
	And he's going to wrap up the story with telling you how great this pill is, And it's going to go right into the promotion for another pill.
	And I still can't believe he's in a bar.
	I mean, that's amazing.
	To sort of illustrate that point.
	I mean, he could not step foot in a bar before.
	It was too much temptation.
	Now he has no problem.
	Really quickly, and I think it's important to point out, this isn't for everybody.
	I mean, these people were people who for nothing else worked.
	And it's about 17% more effective than what else is out there.
	But for someone like Walt...
	What?
	There's more out there?
	You're not even doing competitive study because you're only promoting this?
	You're only being paid to shill this pill you douche?
	It made a big difference.
	It tamps down the sense of euphoria you get from having a drink.
	So you don't have the cravings for getting that euphoria over and over again.
	So it's a mind-altering drug.
	you Well, now I remember where this is from.
	It was actually something that I was working on, but we didn't discuss it.
	Which is Naltrexone and Topamax are these two pills.
	And Topamax is mentioned in this report on CNN on their website.
	Which they're promoting, yes.
	And there's a big debate going on.
	Both of these are used off-label.
	In combination, to create a third drug, which they're trying to legalize as this fabulous and unbelievable weight loss pill.
	Oh, well, wait a minute!
	Listen to this!
	Oh, this is great!
	The concern is it could tamp down pleasures that you get from other things as well, so some people just can't tolerate that side effect.
	Could you actually have a pill that works for other prescription drugs if you're somebody who's addicted to prescription drugs?
	Absolutely is the answer.
	That's what a lot of researchers are sort of working.
	The same sort of concept.
	Again, tamping down the sense of well-being after someone has opiates or pain pills, for example.
	There's a medication called Suboxone.
	It's a little bit different in that people have to stay on it for really their entire lives.
	Whereas with naltrexone, he was on it for about four months.
	Here it comes.
	But some of these things are in early clinical trials, and the population of people that are being studied are people who have failed everything else.
	Nothing has worked, so now they're going to this.
	They're adding counseling in as well, so it's not the pills alone.
	But you can see, for Walter, it made a huge difference.
	Oh, crap.
	Oh, crap!
	What?
	How did that happen?
	Oh, crap!
	What?
	Well, I think because for some reason it didn't get the last bit of the report.
	At the end of this report, she actually says we'll be right back with some great news about a diet pill, which you just mentioned.
	Yeah, that's the diet pill.
	There's something up with this.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Oh, this is really pissing me off.
	I've got to find this.
	Oh, man.
	Can't believe that.
	Here, maybe it's at the end of this one.
	Hold on.
	Oh, you've got to hear that because it may be the actual.
	What's the name of the pill?
	Topamax and Naltrexone are the two.
	You take them in combination and it creates a third drug in the system.
	Hold on.
	I think this might have her tag.
	For Walter, it made a huge difference.
	All right, Sanjay, thanks.
	Stick around because we're going to ask about another medical story in the news today.
	That is a new diet drug that could be approved soon.
	It is called Cunexa.
	We're going to talk about that at the top of the hour.
	Is that what it is?
	Cunexa?
	Yes, Cunexa is the combination of these other pills.
	So they literally go from the commercial of one drug...
	To the commercial of the combination of the next drug that does diet.
	I mean, this is completely paid programming.
	Yeah, I would say.
	Now, if you can't sell it with Sanjay Gupta, if you can't sell it with Dr.
	Drew, there's always one go-to guy in the media.
	If you want the crazy, wacky, kooky guy...
	Close?
	Close?
	Come on, take another guess.
	He's a celebrity, used to be on television when he was a kid.
	messed up his life.
	Go on, go on.
	I know who you're talking about, that redheaded kid.
	Yes, Danny Bonaduce.
	Exactly.
	Bring in Bonaduce.
	Don't do anything that will stop you from, if you think you can help yourself, please do.
	I am not an expert on any of these things.
	I know it works for me.
	Would you like to know how I got 13 months non-drinking?
	Would you like to know how he got 13 months non-drinking, John?
	Are you interested?
	No.
	Tough luck, because we're shoving it in your face.
	Now he takes out a pill bottle, he pops a pill, and he drinks some water.
	It's called antabuse.
	It's a pill.
	It turns alcohol into poison.
	Hey!
	It's called antabuse.
	It turns alcohol into poison.
	If that isn't crazy enough...
	So...
	There you go.
	If I take a drink right now, I'll die.
	Well, what is that?
	I mean, so are you telling me that there needs to be that kind of medical intervention?
	Look it up on the internet.
	This is a commercial.
	Look it up on the internet.
	It turns alcohol into formaldehyde.
	Really?
	I looked it up on the internet.
	Antabuse does not turn alcohol into formaldehyde.
	Formaldehyde.
	What a dick.
	And he keeps saying it.
	The whole report.
	Antabuse.
	What station?
	What is this on?
	CNN! CNN should be ashamed of themselves.
	But they're just raking in the dough.
	Are you kidding me?
	I'd be here like, you know how I kicked weed, man?
	I kicked weed.
	I took a pill and it turned weed into like poison.
	And so if I took a hit of weed, then I'd die.
	Yeah, it turned it into arsenic.
	Arsenic, man.
	Like Monsanto crap.
	So I couldn't take that anymore, man.
	The pills are great.
	I'm Danny Bonaduce.
	That's right.
	Remember me from the Partridge family?
	Buy it now.
	Are you a loser?
	He says one time, I woke up one day in a jail cell, handcuffed to a tranny with blood all over me.
	I didn't know whose blood it was.
	But I took this pill.
	No more trannies.
	So this cold turkey in a pill is bullcrap.
	Let me read you this from the adverse effects.
	Naltrexone should not be started prior to several, typically seven to ten days of abstinence from opioids.
	In other words, you have to go cold turkey.
	You've got to go cold turkey to go cold turkey.
	Because this is due to the risk of acute opioid withdrawal if naltrexone is taken as naltrexone will replace most opioids from their receptors.
	In other words, it will just not, you know, ruin you.
	Yeah, well, you can't just go cold turkey.
	It's very dangerous, actually, to go super cold turkey.
	Some physicians use a naloxone challenge to determine whether an individual has any opioids remaining.
	Yeah, you can't.
	You have to already beat cold turkey then.
	I guess while you've got the shakes and you feel like shooting everybody, you take this pill and it knocks you back to normal.
	That's bull crap.
	This is all a setup for this diet drug.
	This is going to be the biggest diet drug in the history of the pharmaceutical industry.
	Oh, let's put that one in the book of knowledge.
	What is it called again?
	Let's write that down.
	She mentioned what the name was.
	It's something with a C. I already knew about this combination.
	I didn't know what the name of the approved drug is going to be.
	I'll get it again.
	It's important.
	Let's get this again.
	Yeah, let's get it.
	Yeah, hold on.
	Let me just load it up.
	Just amazing, though, how blatantly, and by the way, good catch, but just how brazenly they go from this great pill and this fantastic 17% better than the competitor right into, okay, and we've got some fantastic news coming up about this great diet pill, which happens to be the derivative of the pill we just talked about.
	That, to me, John, is just...
	You know, it just blows me away.
	Somebody's, whoever's putting the packages together is corrupt.
	No, these aren't packages.
	This is coming through the department owner's traffic.
	You know, the ones that do the sales.
	Here it is.
	It's a loan.
	But you can see, for Walter, it made a huge difference.
	All right, Sanjay, thanks.
	Stick around, because we're going to ask about another medical story in the news today.
	That is a new diet drug that could be approved soon.
	It is called Cunexa.
	Cunexa.
	Chewbacca.
	Cunexa.
	What a name.
	Look it up, man.
	And send me the link.
	Yeah, I will.
	Cunexa.
	Cunexa.
	Good job.
	I wouldn't have caught that one.
	That was good.
	Oh, it's Cunexa spelled funny.
	It's Q-N-E-X-A. FDA Advisors.
	This is just five hours ago.
	Endorse weight loss drug Cunexa.
	They endorse it, so it's good to go.
	It's going to be good to go.
	And they got a picture in the Los Angeles Times of some big fat gut.
	The Los Angeles Times, everyone's in on it.
	How come we can't, I mean...
	Well, you know what?
	Here it is.
	Yeah, it's to bear a mate and...
	Meanwhile, they're trying to make vitamin C illegal.
	Let's do away with all the real stuff that'll actually cure you.
	Let's take that off the shelf.
	Ooh, that's dangerous.
	Can't have any of that vitamin C. The combination is topiramate and phenamine, which is...
	I get that from the market.
	Which is not my understanding of the combination, but I get emails for that constantly.
	Interesting.
	I really think it's the other drug because the fentramine is not a safe product.
	Anyway.
	Well, so that's how the news media makes their money.
	Well, this kind of bullcrap is, to me, I have another clip.
	This kind of bullcrap that comes off of these networks is getting worse.
	I was watching, one of the worst shows on is this thing called The Five.
	Wait a minute, I have to say, I like looking at the legs.
	Yeah, they put the legs on the outside, so you get to look at legs constantly.
	Isn't Dana Perino on that?
	When Gilfoyle's on, she's got the best legs in the business.
	Isn't Dana Perino on that?
	Yeah, but she's always sitting over there on the other side because she's too short to show off legs.
	But I will say, I think she's smoking.
	She's very pretty.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I agree with that.
	Remember when she showed up with that black eye when she was still press secretary for Bush?
	No, I don't remember her.
	Yeah, she showed up with a black eye.
	She'd done something wrong.
	Yeah, she did something wrong and they beat her up.
	She's smoking.
	I would put her on the bucket list, actually.
	So this is a piece of information that I just rolled my eyes over.
	Because they throw this crap out.
	They're talking about the pipelines and the oil prices.
	And so play the fact, the five, and the BS. The fact, the five.
	That's a good title for a book.
	It is.
	Can you get on this gas price thing?
	You're an expert on this.
	I understand that.
	Oh, I saw this, actually.
	But the fact is that what's going on in Iran, over which we have very little control, what's going on in Syria, which we should talk about more, frankly, is causing the price of gas to go up.
	No, why wouldn't?
	No, no, why wouldn't?
	Well, that is why it doesn't make warships from Iran.
	Yeah, and it didn't make natural gas prices go up.
	We use a lot of natural gas for our energy.
	Oh, yeah, and we have a lot of crude oil, too.
	That's the other thing.
	But it's no secret also that the president has been openly hostile to fossil fuels.
	His tax plan released recently goes after oil companies.
	And when you go after oil companies and you try and take away their tax breaks, that just gets passed along to the consumer.
	It's a fact!
	Well, that's not the clip I wanted.
	Okay, good.
	Do I get to hear Dana Perino this time?
	She was actually in there in the first part of that.
	Okay.
	A reigning practice, Idiots on the Five.
	Idiots.
	That's the one.
	How could we have missed that cue?
	All right.
	I have a business.
	I had a business of distributing gasoline, buying gasoline, bringing it in from overseas, selling it.
	Do you know that there are reformulated gas blends, there are oxygenated blends, detergent regulations, specific vapor pressure blends, summer blends, winter blends, summer East Coast blends, West Coast blends, winter blends.
	Is this about Starbucks?
	I have a way.
	I want to do it on here because I want you to attribute this to me.
	I'll take the blame.
	I thought you were a speculator.
	No, no.
	I did both.
	This is the guy with the fat head, isn't it?
	Yeah, and he's talking about not the real fat head.
	That's the Democrat guy.
	But this is the younger guy with the fat head.
	And he's apparently owned an oil distribution business before he became a pundit.
	I don't know.
	The company as well.
	Gasoline will drop by a dollar, a dollar per gallon with one signature by Obama.
	All he has to do is say, one blend, gas drops.
	You know, there's one blend for the whole country.
	It doesn't matter if you're in Chicago, West Coast, East Coast.
	All year round, give it a shot.
	It can't hurt.
	The environmentalists will just have to take a deep breath and say, for now...
	It's more important.
	Actually, there's something to be said about that, because they do have a blend.
	Do you remember when they had the blend in the upper Midwest, North, and they had to mix in a certain stuff?
	And it turned out to be it didn't work.
	And it didn't work.
	Storage issues, location, transportation issues.
	And they backed off of that, and things seemed to work all right.
	All right, explain this one to me.
	This is the biggest crock of crap I can imagine.
	Every petroleum engineer and chemist has got to be rolling his eyes.
	You have to have these different blends.
	It's the way it works.
	You can't have the same gasoline in Reno that you have in the San Francisco Bay Area.
	Your car won't start because of the atmospheric pressures and the different temperatures depending on whether it's winter or summer.
	That's why you have a winter blend and a summer blend.
	If you don't put extra butane in the gas during the winter, your car will not start.
	This is all bull crap and he's just made this up and this guy was supposed to be in the business?
	I don't believe that for a minute.
	Oh, interesting.
	Okay, so I know nothing about this.
	And you as a former chemical engineer is very interesting.
	And these blends, so for instance in...
	I was an analytical chemist.
	Yeah.
	Big difference.
	You make me so horny when you say these things.
	Say it again.
	Analytical chemist.
	No, no, say I was.
	I was, man.
	I was an analytical chemist.
	So you're telling me that in Texas, where it can freeze in wintertime, that they actually give me a different blend of, even though I'm getting the 87 octane, which is all I can afford.
	It's still under four bucks here.
	Yeah.
	That they blend that differently in wintertime.
	Yeah.
	Huh.
	I didn't know that.
	Or your car won't start, or it'll have trouble starting, or it won't run right.
	I mean, you have to change the blends based on the temperature, then the altitude in particular.
	You can take Reno gas, or take a Bay Area gas and try to drive around Reno.
	Your car's got no poop.
	And so you put some Reno gas in, and you're driving around like crazy, and it's very noticeable.
	So if I were to drive from Texas to Colorado, and I can make it on one tank of gas...
	By the time I get up there, I might run into trouble.
	I'd have to get a new blend really quickly.
	Yeah, your car would not run correctly.
	I didn't know this.
	These blends are very different all over the place, and that's why they...
	But he's saying, well, you know, you only have to store one blend instead of two.
	You still have to store the different...
	This is still bullshit, even on that level, because you still have to...
	You can't keep every octane, you know, those three typical octane blends.
	Explain that to me for a second.
	Why...
	I mean, for what reason I've never gotten the high octane?
	I mean, why should I? Does it really make a difference?
	On the car that requires high octane, yes.
	What car requires that?
	Well, my Lexus.
	Your Lexus is from 1991!
	Yeah, it's old, I know.
	I don't have enough money.
	No, but how come that requires the high octane?
	That's dumb.
	Because it's got a high performance V8 engine that has a high compression ratio.
	I have a Dodge Ram from 2002.
	Probably uses regular.
	Yeah, but it's got like 18 cylinders.
	It's a big 5900 engine.
	It still could be regular.
	It's probably regular.
	Whatever it says in the book, you have to use.
	There's no book.
	It didn't come with a book.
	It didn't come with a book.
	Look it up on the internet.
	If you're using low octane gas in an engine that requires 91 and you're using 87, you're going to get a lot of pre-ignition.
	You're going to essentially lose gas mileage because the thing's going to fire before the cylinder's at the top of the head and it'll just blow up in there and it'll cause a lot of knocking.
	It could damage the engine.
	You could actually blow up your engine.
	Well, probably not blow it up, but you're not going to help it much.
	And it's really a disaster if you use the wrong octane in your engine.
	Now, you can use high octane in a low octane engine.
	That makes no difference.
	But if you have an engine that requires high octane fuel, you better use it.
	Well, I might be doing it wrong.
	Well, is the engine pinging when you're driving?
	What does that mean?
	Well, if you don't know what that means and push down on the gas to accelerate, you hear a bunch of weird clicking sounds.
	No, this thing sounds like...
	It's free ignition.
	Let me see.
	I'm looking to see now if it says if I should use high octane or not.
	I have 2002 Dodge Ram.
	They're talking about the Hemi, though.
	I don't think I have the Hemi engine.
	Maybe I do.
	I don't know.
	I only paid $5,000 for it.
	The Hemi would probably require high octane, I'm guessing.
	I don't know.
	Okay, well, so...
	But it's like...
	So anyway, so you have to have these different tanks for these different gasolines anyway.
	So the storage stuff is bullcrap.
	This guy's full of it.
	That's what I'm saying.
	And this show is filled with this kind of information.
	And then he comes out with this nonsense and the other guy comes in and agrees with him.
	He doesn't know what he's talking about either.
	Now, I will say this.
	We on this show have, every so often, we say something that's wrong.
	And people either catch us in the chat rooms and then we can usually correct ourselves on the fly.
	And yeah, you're going to be wrong on these shows, so I don't want to be too condemnatorial about this.
	But if you had legs like that, it would be okay.
	But the point is, is there's five people on this show.
	There's ten people behind the cameras.
	There's producers.
	There's executive producers.
	There's all kinds of people that can correct this crap.
	There's news editors.
	There's writers.
	There's prompter operators.
	They have a hundred people that can say, hey, this is totally wrong.
	The two of us, it's amazing we're so accurate.
	John C. DeBoer, expert people of the day.
	I'm going to show my mood by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah!
	On No Agenda!
	High Octane, baby!
	You know, I gotta tell you, when you go off on that, like, that chemical engineer stuff, and you bring in cars and engines, man, I would, like, hug you right now if you were near me.
	I would be like, it makes me just hot for you, baby.
	Hot!
	Smoking hot for you now, John.
	I would think that everyone would know this stuff.
	Well, guess what?
	This is very informative.
	And now I'm going to go find a book.
	See if I can find the book that goes along with my car.
	And then I'm going to be very sad if I have to put it in high octane because that's like...
	It costs another 20 cents a gallon.
	It's expensive.
	Yeah, for real.
	Yeah, I was actually in San Francisco, the octane, the high octane union station over in the city where it's always overpriced.
	$4.40.
	Yeah.
	Bad.
	So our chat room, the one we just talked up and said they're so great, helping us and correcting us, here's what we got back from that great rant of yours.
	Adam plays with Barbies.
	I mean, really?
	I mean, really?
	Yes, Malibu Ken.
	Hello, Malibu Ken here.
	Hello, everybody.
	All right.
	Jonathan, we actually got a lot of executive producers and then our regular donors are the lesser ones.
	Kind of a short number here.
	But it's fine.
	Jonathan Healy in Santa Clara, California, came with $100 saying thanks for the fight.
	Thanks for continuing to fight the good fight on the best podcast in the universe.
	Michael Shoemaker in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
	Somewhere on the same line that goes to Anaheim and Azusa.
	ITM John and Adam, greetings from Gitmo Nation Inland Empire.
	I'm just a reminder to the producers to check out their PayPal accounts.
	Why?
	Because, by the way, I got a thing today.
	I just sent it to the guy.
	PayPal rejected a $55.10 payment.
	Why?
	Because they were suspicious of the guy giving the money.
	What is that?
	It's like, hey, we're protecting you.
	Dvorak, Curry, we're protecting you.
	This guy's suspicious.
	What is that?
	That's ridiculous.
	It's totally ridiculous.
	So they sent him his money back.
	We're screwed.
	You watch.
	That's how they're going to kill us.
	I mean, they can't kill us by taking away advertisers because we have none.
	They're going to kill us by saying, oh, all your people are suspicious because they normally pay with cash and they use the internet and internet cafes and they could be terrorists.
	I tell you, they're terrorists, all of them.
	And they're donating to that no agenda show.
	Suspicious behavior.
	He signed up for monthly donations and PayPal has yet to make a second payment automatically.
	I have to visit Dvorak.org slash NA. Insert jingle here to make sure you guys hear.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. To get your just-deserved tithing.
	Here's my monthly donation.
	This time $99.99 just to hear Adam say niner, niner, niner, niner.
	Niner, niner, niner, niner.
	I also need a serious de-douching.
	John started choking while reading my last donation email, passed it to Adam, and I never got my de-douche.
	I don't need karma as life is good, but I would like to pass the karma on to my fellow hardworking IT slaves who keep many companies running smoothly, without credit or recognition.
	Duh.
	Yeah, of course.
	This is big IT karma.
	We know what it takes to keep that crap running.
	Karma.
	That's very kind.
	Very kind.
	And we've got a lot of dentists and IT guys.
	Listen to his show for some reason.
	Dentites.
	Dentites and eye tights.
	Dentites.
	It's a combo word.
	Eye tights.
	I like that.
	Eye tights.
	Anyway, he says, he's in this chat room, California, Mishu.
	Matthew Hamilton, Sacramento, California, 6969, on to our 6969 meme.
	I'm going to have to put that on the sheet.
	Well, you keep threatening with that.
	That's our get laid karma.
	ITM, gentlemen, like you to de-douche me and then de-douche me.
	Oh, no, douche me, then de-douche me.
	Why?
	Because I've been enjoying the best podcasts in the universe since last October without helping.
	I'd also enjoy being a No Agenda listener for the shortest time spent.
	Douched.
	My birthday is February 23rd, so I've made the popular contribution of 6969, which is three times 2323.
	Please send some citizen karma to me and my smoking hot girlfriend, Christy, in advance of our pending move from the People's Republic of California to the blue skies, drones, and chemtrails of Austin, Texas.
	You will love it here, my friend.
	Okay, so we got a douchebag, a de-douching, and a hastedess in karma.
	Okay, let me see if I can do this.
	Douchebag!
	You've been de-douched.
	Hey, citizen.
	You've got karma.
	Tight!
	Tight.
	Except for you stepping on it.
	Tight.
	Sir Troy Walters, Hawthorne East Victoria, $60 in the morning.

	Sorry for the low donation amount.
	It's all I can afford.
	Please wish Dame Jess Walters a happy second wedding anniversary for the 22nd of February.
	The call-out needs to happen today.
	If you did it on Sunday's show, we would hear it on the 28th.
	Oh, that's right.
	That's right, because everything's going to pay off.
	Right, okay, well...
	I think, yeah.
	Yeah, so...
	If you go to Australia, you've got to change your time to one day ahead and five years back.
	And enough about the Australian government.
	Yeah, Chad Lawrence and...
	Well, give her a...

	He's in Vigmo Nation, Little Mermaid, so he's got to be in Copenhagen, Denmark.
	Hi, John and Adam, 5511.
	Thank you for the great effort and the eternal struggle to fight all the douchebaggery.
	Keep exploring this splinter in my mind.
	You're truly one of a kind.
	And Adam, don't stop trying to teach John the Dutch pronunciations.

	Double nickels on the diamond.
	Listening since last year, I wanted to make a catch-up payment for all the news and entertainment you've provided over the time.
	My hot wife, Joyce, is interviewing for a new job and is supposed to find out the result this week.
	She could use a shot of MILF karma to put her over the top.
	Alright, send pictures.
	You've got karma.
	What happened to the horn?
	It was there.
	What horn was there?
	Keith Stevens in South Bend, Indiana.
	Great town.
	5510.
	I've been a long-time listener, first-time donor.
	Always enjoyed your deconstruction of the media.
	Here's some blankets and water.
	No need for a dedouching, but my girlfriend could use some job karma.
	There's a lot of that today.
	She got hired for a job right out of school, and the douchebags let her go over the phone on her first date during lunch.
	Oh, no.
	I hate that.
	Give her a Karma MILF double shot.
	I'd love to do that.
	MILF. That's one, motherfucker.
	I like this.
	You've got karma.
	What?
	Was that a slide whistle, Milf Horn?

	I've been donating about $10 a week and listening since May.
	A professor at Seton Hall University turned me on to the show.
	Hey, now.
	Hey, that's cool.
	So we got...
	Yes.
	Hey, Prof.
	Where is he in the donor list?
	Yeah, where is he on the donor list, really?

	No, try it again.
	Katzhofel.
	Katzhofel.
	How's that?
	How's that?
	Bad.
	What do you mean bad?
	If I was in Amsterdam and I said, I'd like to find a train to Katz Holfel, you think they would know what I was talking about?
	That'd club you immediately.
	Like, quick, get him!
	$50.
	Ah, he forgot my birthday.
	123.
	Way to go, John.
	Hey, give him one today.
	I also asked my lovely Audrey to marry me and she said yes.
	Please give her a MILF. She is one by the way.
	That's one mother.
	I liked her.
	I've seen pictures.
	My new business is going great now thanks to your karma shot.
	It works.
	P.S. Check my email with the no agenda jacket picture from Bruins Clothing.
	By the way, we should plug them every once in a while.
	They do a great job.
	All the best.
	And they're cheap.
	And it's made in America.

	Anonymous in Marysville, Kansas.
	50 private comments.
	Says something, but it's private.
	And I don't know what he wants us to say.
	He wants the F-words to stop.
	Oh.
	Did we use one today?
	I don't think so.
	Well, he actually doesn't like...
	He has a 13-year-old.
	He doesn't like me talking about deep-penetrating bunker busters and hot rods.
	No, I don't either.
	Okay, Paul Vela in Touchester, Northamptonshire in the UK. I didn't like it when you said that.
	I didn't like it when you said hot man.
	No, it took you a while to come up with a comeback.
	No, I was just thinking, like, what kind of a douchebag are you?
	You're like, Steven is doing it in your own juices?
	I don't like it when you talk about hot man.
	Yeah, talk about some potholes, dude.
	Yeah, that's really exciting.
	They cleaned up the road.
	You haven't heard me talk about potholes recently, have you?
	No, no.
	Greg, my complaining helped.
	Greg Steerly in Santa Monica, $50.
	And finally, Scott Carbone.
	Could be carbon, but I think it's carbon.
	That's probably carbon.
	In Waterford, Michigan, Hay Citizen and ITMT both would like to request some anti-cancer karma for my aunt who just recently got diagnosed with some form.
	They thought it was a rash.
	Apparently it's pretty bad.
	So it needs a little karma for Ron Paul.
	While he's at it, by the way, whoever made that Reverend Manning song, it's an awesome ringtone.
	Good idea.
	Whip it, whip it, whip it.
	All right, here's some anti-cancer karma for you, everybody.
	You've got karma.
	I wouldn't mind using that as a ringtone.
	I might adopt that idea.
	The whip it, whip it, whip it ringtone.
	Anyway, we want to thank all these donors and contributors and helpers.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. NoagendaShow.com.
	NoagendaNation.com.
	And ChannelDvorak.com slash NA. If you can't get to the other websites for some reason or other, even though we have someone in Korea that's been donating and...
	They get through.
	I don't know.
	It's a baffling situation.
	So this is a program that runs on value for value if you've heard anything.
	And honestly, I learned something big today about the blends of gasoline and that I have to now get a 2002 manual for my truck that could be valuable.
	And think about it.
	John may have saved me $2,000, $3,000 in engine repairs because I'm going to blow up my engine.
	Just these little tidbits, besides the fact that it'll make your brain feel better when you understand what the a-holes are doing in the world and trying to corrupt us with all these lies in the media, trying to get us to take pills for pills, and to go and save yourself, go here.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A Now get out there and whoop Obama's behind!

	Happy birthday, a map of all your friends here at the Big No Agenda family.
	And then we need to do a knighting, John.
	It's been a while since we've done one of these.
	Hooray!
	What?
	Hooray?
	Hooray!
	Okay.
	Did you grab your blade?
	It's a little rusty.
	It's stuck.
	It hasn't been used in a while.
	Ah, there you go.
	Thank goodness.
	Frank DiZoglio, step forward, my friend.
	Thank you so much as you have supported the No Agenda podcast, the program.
	With the amount of $1,000 or more, you are one of our true patrons, always there to help us out and to help us in our hour of need, and we appreciate your contribution and keeping us going.
	So hereby, we proudly pronounce the Sir Frank Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Hookers and blow over here, my friend!
	Also, Rent Boys and Chardonnay, if that's your thing, or just plain old booze and hot pants.
	Congratulations.
	Welcome to the roundtable.
	Thank you.
	Your ring is on the way.
	I wanted to publicly thank Mimi.
	Your wife, John.
	She's taking over the ring shipment.
	Ring distribution center.
	I'm sorry.
	The ring distribution center.
	Yes, that's what it's called.
	The ring distribution center.
	Great.
	So, the weirdest thing.
	And I saved this for the second half of the show, even though it's stuff that's in the House of Lords in the United Kingdom.
	I'm sure you may have seen this thing pop up.
	Lord Blackheath, who is what I guess you'd call a backbencher, but he is in the House of Lords.
	And he stands up, and he rolls out this crazy story, and it goes on for 11 minutes.
	And luckily, he did something very smart.
	He drew his conclusions about this story in the first minute and a half, thank goodness, which I will play for you.
	And it is about the $15 trillion.
	Have you heard this story, John?
	No, I'm on pins and needles.
	So this is from the House of Lords on February the 16th, I believe, and he stood up in front of his fellow lords, these are the muckety-mucks, and he started to tell the following story.
	My lords, I've been engaged in the pursuit of this issue for nearly two years now, and I'm no further through to get into the truth.
	I think there are three possible conclusions which may come from it.
	I think there may have been a massive piece of money laundering committed by a major government which ought to know better and that this has effectively undermined the integrity of a British bank or a Bank of Scotland in doing so.
	The second alternative is that a major American department has an agency which has gone rogue on it because it has been wound up and has created a structure out of which they are seeking to get Well, at least 50 billion euros as a payoff.
	And the third possibility is that this is an extraordinary elaborate fraud which has not been carried out, but which has been prepared in order to provide a threat to one government or more if they don't pay them off.
	So there are three possibilities, and this all needs a very urgent review.
	My Lords, it starts in April and May of 2009.
	With the alleged transfer to the United Kingdom, to the HSBC, of a sum of 50 trillion dollars And seven days later, in comes another $50 trillion to the HSBC, and then three weeks later, another $50 trillion, a total of $5 trillion in each case.
	A total of $15 trillion is alleged to have been passed into the hands of HSBC for honour of transit to the Royal Bank of Scotland.
	And we need to look to where this came from and what the history of this money is.
	And I have been trying to sort out the sequence by which this money has been created and where it's come from for a long time.
	What?
	I know.
	He messes up the numbers, but so essentially he has, and he has documents signed by Paulson, signed by Geithner, that there were three tranches of $5 trillion that went received by senior executives at HSBC and then again received by senior executives at the Royal Bank of Scotland.
	And apparently it came from a Riyadi account, from an account from a guy named Riyadi, I'm sorry, Who...
	I mean, it ties into all kinds of crazy things, but...
	So this guy's just not clinically insane?
	Well, he has all these documents, and he says, you know, we can easily...
	What lord is this?
	Do we have his name?
	Blackheath.
	Lord Blackheath.
	Blackheath?
	Blackheath.
	Let me look him up on the Book of Knowledge.
	Yeah.
	It's a very, very weird story.
	But the thing that's so weird about this is it comes at the same time as we have all these trillions of dollars in bonds.
	They're fake bonds.
	But the way it sounds to me, and this traces back to another crazy story about the WANTA Fund.
	Are you familiar with the WANTA Fund?
	No, but I'm looking at, apparently, Lord James Blackheath, in January 11, 2010, gave a speech on Foundation X. It's the same guy.
	He said that there was a...
	Everybody in the show in the audience are all laughing at him.
	Oh, yeah, because he's crazy.
	Of course, he's nuts.
	I've learned, John, I've learned that the crazier the guy, you've got to be careful.
	Because these guys can be, A, incredibly right...
	Look at Albert Einstein!
	I'm not going to say this.
	All right.
	Just because he looks crazy and he...
	He doesn't look crazy.
	He just seems like a...
	He looks like a banker.
	Well, but he acts disheveled, let's put it that way.
	He comes across as disheveled.
	No, in this clip he looks fine, but okay.
	No, if you look at the whole clip he's...
	But he's trying to explain something.
	And so he says, look, either this was, I think the bottom line conclusion is, somewhere someone made up some money, because he's basically saying this could be fake money.
	And of course, it's not like a suitcase showed up with $15 trillion, you know, printed bills.
	This is, you know, this is just electronic.
	Yeah, it's electronic stuff.
	And what he's saying is this is bogative, and it's helped prop up the entire dollar.
	I think that's what he's trying to say.
	From this made-up money.
	But it goes back to another, and this has always been written off as a conspiracy theory, the WANTA Fund, W-A-N-T-A, which is about Ambassador Lee WANTA. And the story behind that, which supposedly ties into this, and I'm not quite sure how.
	I mean, it's just so unbelievable that, you know, even if you could prove it, people say, ah, it's crazy.
	Get out of here, you kook.
	The Wanta Fund was apparently set up by Ronald Reagan with the Chinese.
	Oh yeah, we talked about this on the show before.
	Yeah, let me just summarize in brief.
	And it was set up to do currency trading to bankrupt, basically to kill the ruble.
	And the idea was that the profits, which apparently were $5 trillion at the time, so easily this could be the one to fund, it could be $15 trillion by now, that the profits were supposed to go back to the American people, back into the coffers of the treasury, and boy, that would help right now.
	I mean, we could use a $5 trillion in 1990 dollars, we could use that, that would be handy.
	And then the story twists and turns and says that basically Hillary Clinton went and stole it with her children's defense fund.
	So there's so many twists and turns to this, and there's so many stories, and there's podcasts, and there's just tons of people talking about it.
	I mean, this is worse than 9-11.
	You can never get to the bottom of it, I don't think.
	You'd have to have someone pretty serious conversation.
	Come to the forefront, and it seems like Lord Blackheath is trying to communicate that something really bad has gone wrong, and he's probably correct in his second assumption that an agency of the United States, which would be the Treasury, has gone rogue.
	Duh!
	And the people are just stealing this money and the bankers are passing it around.
	They took this money and, of course, they made billions, if not trillions, in profits by using it.
	But it was funneled through HSBC and the Bank of Scotland.
	And this would be traceable if someone opened an investigation, which is what he's calling for.
	Well, I think it's probably also what Ron Paul wants to see.
	So I'm looking at an article from November 2010 in The Guardian.
	And I'll just read you the first graph regarding this guy.
	Blackheath.
	This is from his other speech when he's talking about Foundation X. Yeah, which was about a trillion dollars, I think, at the time he was talking about that.
	It seemed to be more like 17 billion, but it's quite the most extraordinary speech I think I've ever come across.
	There's a writer come across.
	It was given by Lord James of Blackheath, a respected industrialist and former senior advisor to the Conservative Party.
	So he's not a kook.
	So he's not a kook.
	All right.
	So he's not a kook.
	Well, maybe he lost his mind.
	I don't know.
	This is a good one.
	Now what are we going to do about it?
	Well, so everything I'm reading is saying that these are the WANTA funds.
	And they were supposed to go back to the American people, but instead of coming back to the American people, and this was, you can consult the book of knowledge on Ameritrust Corporation.
	And this guy, Lee WANTA, was the trustee.
	And this also all ties back into Mark Rich.
	Which always ties back to the Clintons.
	It always ties back to the Clintons.
	And that would make sense.
	You look at the presidential library.
	Someone's got some dough.
	This is Switzerland.
	That's one of the reasons we know that they're freaked out about somebody investigating the Clinton Library.
	Where did all the money come from?
	It's got an endowment.
	And Clinton's got God knows how much money.
	This wasn't from good investments.
	You know, I said on the last show that Bill Clinton probably had a shot at becoming the president of the World Bank.
	I mean, let's just say Bill Clinton is the World Bank.
	He's got all the dough.
	So, you know, this is something that I would think if I were a real news organization and a respected industrialist stepped up and said, hey, something weird going on here.
	I would think I'd put that on the news.
	You know, this is like...
	You know, you can't put this stuff on the news.
	Because there's a bottomless pit of trying to explain it.
	It's essentially an enigma.
	And the directors of these news stations just won't allow it.
	And it's not in the New York Times.
	And everything always has to be confirmed by the New York Times is really the...
	If it's not in the New York Times...
	Then it's not real.
	It didn't happen.
	It's not real.
	You can't do it.
	It shows up in the New York Times even when it does.
	You can't necessarily do it because it might be something that's not of general interest.
	So I'll tell you what we do get on the news here.
	Instead of this...
	This is another very carefully crafted story, I have to say, to make you very afraid of Muslims shouting Allah is great.
	Because, of course, if you were pissed off on an airplane and you're angry and you're perturbed, In America, we drop F-bombs and we call people a-holes.
	I think some Muslims just say, Allah is great.
	Screw you guys.
	Allah is great.
	But of course, that now is being turned into a terrorist action, particularly when done on an airplane.
	So you hear the story, and as we get into the story, it's just like a guy who was really pissed off about some stupid stuff, and he shouldn't have done that.
	But the way it's brought to you, Tonight, two people have been arrested.
	In fact, we're told one of the men in custody was actually tackled by other passengers, and we have video from inside the plane.
	Inside the plane!
	By the way, the video is not of passengers grabbing this guy.
	The video is not of the guy yelling Allah is great.
	The video is when they're on the ground and federal agents are taking him off the plane.
	Apparently, no one thought to videotape while it was actually happening.
	Jeff McShann just talked with people getting off the flight at Bush Airport.
	Jeff, what happened?
	This is happening in Houston, by the way.
	Now, listen to what happened.
	Well, at least indeed, a continental flight 1118 took off from Portland tonight, headed to Houston.
	Had to be turned around about 20 minutes into the flight when the pilot decided to turn around and land back in Portland, all because of a belligerent passenger.
	Belligerent!
	Very important word, people.
	Belligerent.
	Remember, this is a legal term being used...
	In the National Defense Authorization Act, belligerent.
	If you are belligerent, you can be named an enemy combatant.
	If you are an enemy combatant, you can get the hood put over your head and taken away in a black van.
	Now take a look at cell phone video taken by Mark Flossinger, one of the passengers on board.
	He and others tell us that two Middle Eastern men wanted to sit next to each other on the flight, and when it didn't work out, one of them became very upset.
	Well, this happens.
	Right?
	You know, you can't sit next to each other.
	People get upset.
	It does happen.
	You know, it makes no difference.
	You can't help it, but people get upset.
	But then what did he do?
	He did something really crazy.
	He started screaming.
	He then lit an electric cigarette.
	He lit an electric cigarette.
	How do you light an electric?
	Did he actually light it?
	It's not working.
	It's the stench of the plastic.
	This thing doesn't work.
	You don't light an electronic cigarette.
	You just suck on it, and the little tip glows, a little LED light in there.
	And it's not illegal, but he lit.
	He lit an electronic cigarette.
	But then, the American passengers, who are just so awesome, because we're going to kick your ass...
	Flight attendants were clearly worried.
	They asked passengers for help, and when the plane landed, the police came on board, took the suspect off in handcuffs, and escorted his friend off the plane.
	Here it comes, listening to our great passengers who saved the day from the guy who was trying to light an e-cigarette.
	He was screaming, Allah is great.
	Allah is great, you know.
	And it kind of worries you when all of that happens.
	But believe me, there were enough men to hold him down.
	Yeah, because we're Americans now, but there were enough men to hold him down.
	It's scary when they say Allah is great, because you know he's going to be terrorists.
	Absolutely.
	Every guy that was in my area was ready to go.
	We were ready to go.
	I was ready to go kick his ass.
	That damn Muslim terrorist.
	We did all this great.
	I was ready.
	My belt, my seatbelt was unbuckled.
	I was ready to go kick his ass.
	I mean, it was not even a thought.
	You could tell the buckles were off.
	The buckles were off.
	It almost made me cry to see the way everybody responded.
	It made me cry.
	Everyone responded so great.
	Because the gentleman that could help got up and helped the stewardess.
	She was just a little bitty thing.
	She ran back and she got the plastic handcuffs and ankle cuffs.
	I didn't know that they had handcuffs and ankle cuffs on board the airplane.
	I guess that's standard.
	Yeah, they did like to practice a little S&M in the cockpit.
	Once in a while.
	With that little bitty thing.
	Just a little bitty thing.
	She ran up there and all the men were all ready to go and help, you know, because they had their buckles on the bucket.
	They were ready to go kick some ass because we're Americans.
	What airline was this?
	I don't know.
	I can find it if you're interested.
	I'm just wondering.
	Seems like something you'd want to know.
	It would be under the squirrel heading in the show notes.
	Here it is.
	Unruly passenger.
	Belligerent.
	He was screaming, Allah is great.
	Allah is great.
	Maybe you really like those cigarettes.
	Maybe those cigarettes are awesome.
	I should try that because there's something in there that may make you high.
	Continental.
	Of course, it's Houston.
	Continental.
	It's just, it's riling up the American public.
	Unnecessarily.
	Very unnecessarily.
	And it's sad.
	But it does show that we don't need TSA. No, no, this is true.
	But it was a little...
	Okay, now speaking of the TSA. Alright, so here's the thing I wanted to play earlier.
	So you have this guy, McCarter.
	And he is the, I think, the editor of Homeland Security Magazine.
	Now, you would presume that the editor of Homeland Security Magazine really knows what he's talking about when it comes to Homeland Security, wouldn't you?
	I would.
	Oh, absolutely.
	He has to.
	And he's on C-SPAN, our favorite channel, on the call-in show.
	And people, I'm not going to say it anymore.
	The fact that you are not calling into C-SPAN and handing out the truth and then following up with NoAgendaShow.com is disappointing.
	Yes, I'm very disappointed.
	They have open phone lines and they are so desperate for anyone to call in.
	And you get the weirdest calls in.
	They'll take anything.
	And they're not screened.
	They're not screened.
	No, they're not screened.
	So this guy is in there.
	They're talking about Abdul Muttallab, known as the underpants bomber.
	Now, we know that the underwear bomber at Schiphol Airport was ushered onto the airplane.
	By two men in suits, even though he didn't have a passport, we know from testimony that we played from C-SPAN. That they were watching the guy, and they allowed him to get on the airplane.
	Surely, John, you recall all this, that we've discussed this on this very program.
	Yes, and they also know that people were filming him on the plane with camcorders and watching his every move, and then it was the weirdest story.
	And then, of course, when they stopped the plane and brought him off, they took all the passengers and moved them to a secure facility, which brings me to the thought that they wanted to kill him.
	Well, kill everybody, and then say the plane got blowed up, but something went amiss.
	Something went wrong, but the idea...
	So they had to let the passengers live.
	And what happened after all of this, John?
	After this Christmas 2010?
	2009?
	What happened?
	What happened after this?
	What immediately came into play?
	I don't know what...
	The naked body scanners.
	Oh, yeah, right.
	We had the...
	Immediately.
	Our buddy...
	Chertoff's company.
	Yeah.
	Chertoff and Associates.
	So here's this guy, and he's on C-SPAN because he's important.
	He's an authority on Homeland Security.
	He's the editor of this magazine.
	And he doesn't know anything about this, John.
	It's amazing.
	But the people who call in take this guy to school.
	Robert, independent caller in Austin, Texas.
	And by the way, this will prove to you that C-SPAN is the best channel on your television because this stuff, you can't write it.
	It's hilarious.
	And none of the people, except for the host and the guy, McCarter, are actors.
	Everyone else is real.
	Good morning.
	Good morning.
	It's amazing how much...
	Different information on this underwear bomber there is.
	This guy never had a visa.
	The gentleman was let on the plane, literally forced.
	They tried to keep him off the plane, and two attorneys who have just submitted, you can go look on YouTube, said that he was let on the plane forcibly.
	He was denied access to that airplane.
	So he's talking about the testimony that was given at Mittalib's...
	In fact, Mittalib never got to testify because he pleaded guilty, because of course he was a shill.
	So therefore there was no hearing, and therefore we didn't hear the true story.
	But according to American law, you can enter in comments...
	If you were a witness, and I think it's Haskell, I think is the attorney's name, who was on the flight, and we've played clips of this guy, he said, no, no, this was total bullcrap.
	This guy was let on the plane, he was escorted, he had handlers, and this was entered into the record, but you're not going to hear that anywhere, of course.
	So here's one of the callers telling the truth.
	...some unnamed office in the U.S. government, and you should look this up, sir.
	They let him on that plane, forcibly.
	He was not allowed to be on that plane, and somebody put him on that plane.
	Now, why would a CIA agent, the unnamed agency, want to get that guy on the plane?
	Good question.
	I'm not familiar with the story of anybody attempting to stop him.
	My understanding is that the PETN that the underwear bomber was carrying was not detectable by the standard screening that he went through at Amsterdam.
	And what I've heard is that he raised no alarm.
	Okay, let's go to the caller.
	I wasn't there, obviously, so I don't know.
	All right, he wasn't there, but he doesn't know.
	Are you not the editor of the Homeland Security magazine, sir?
	All right, next caller.
	Chuck in Jacksonville, Florida.
	Independent caller.
	Good morning.
	Go, Chuck.
	Oh, sorry.
	I moved to that.
	Let's go on to Devin.
	We already hit Chuck.
	Devin, Republican in Derry, New Hampshire.
	Good morning, Devin.
	Good morning.
	Hi there.
	I heard your guest mention the underwear bomber a little while ago, and I just wanted to mention Attorney Kurt Haskell's testimony at the Muttallib trial last week.
	He was a witness to the event, and he says that Muttalib didn't have a passport and wasn't going to be allowed onto that plane, except he was escorted by two men in suits who claimed national security in order to get him onto the plane.
	And now at this point, the producers are freaking out.
	Kurt Haskell, in his testimony, said all this.
	He wasn't allowed to actually be a witness to the trial because they got him to plead guilty.
	But...
	I just feel that the real terrorist that we should be afraid of is our federal government, and the TSA sticking their hands down our pants isn't going to make things better.
	Cut them off!
	Don't appreciate that.
	We don't appreciate that.
	Do you hear that?
	We don't appreciate you talking about the TSA sticking their hands down our pants.
	She said that?
	She said that!
	We don't appreciate that.
	Which girl is this?
	The ugly one.
	We're cutting you off.
	Of course.
	Yeah, we're cutting the C-SPAN. We're cutting you off.
	Now, let's do it.
	Last comment, but Devin's bringing up this question that one of our earlier callers mentioned of an idea that Mutala was somehow forced to go on the plane or was escorted by agents of some kind.
	Now, you are the expert on this.
	We invited you on C-SPAN. Please explain.
	I am unfamiliar with that story.
	What?
	I can't say it's true or I can't say it's false.
	I don't know nothing about this.
	My understanding is that...
	He doesn't know anything.
	The guy's an idiot.
	He was targeted for questioning by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which was operating passenger screening for overseas passengers like Abdul Muttalib, and that they had planned to question him when he arrived in Detroit.
	Obviously, if he was successful, they wouldn't have been able to question him because he would have blown himself and 360 other people up.
	Yeah, which was the plan all along, because you know what's going on.
	Let's do one more.
	Let's try a different approach.
	And another caller is right there.
	I love you, America.
	Recent Inspector General report.
	Here, let's get this guy through.
	Okay, let's go to Mark in Wayne, Michigan, on our independent line.
	Good morning, Mark.
	Good morning, C-SPAN. Good morning, America.
	When I heard this, I'm like, yes, this is a No Agenda listener.
	It's like, good morning, C-SPAN. Good morning, America.
	In the morning to you, NoAgendaShow.com is great.
	All that is great.
	I'm like, I'm waiting for it.
	This guy is perfect.
	He doesn't do it, but this is the kind of guy that you should be who's listening to this show.
	You should be calling in and doing this.
	And also, good morning, Mr.
	Carter.
	Good morning.
	Yes, I have a question about you claiming that you had no idea about that...
	Underwear bomber being helped onto that plane.
	I live on disability, and I even knew about that.
	If you've seen the evidence that I have gathered about this individual and about the warehouses that were completely filled with all of these...
	Body scanners and no airports were buying them.
	So then this underwear bomber thing came along and every one of them got sold immediately.
	This is how they work.
	These elites that have hijacked the federal government are using it by use of the media, by lying to the people.
	So Mark, so Mark, you're saying that there's an...
	Cut him off!
	Cut this guy off!
	Is this great television or what?
	You want to hear her rephrase the question?
	Yeah, let's hear that.
	Infrastructure in place that's geared towards making money off these crises.
	No!
	That can't be true!
	This is impossible to believe!
	So Mark is claiming that it's a generated crisis in order to help businesses make money.
	John, can you believe that?
	That can't be true.
	This doesn't happen in our federal government.
	That couldn't.
	That wouldn't happen in a million years under any circumstances.
	Let's talk to the expert.
	This is a great question for the expert.
	Well, I have to say, you know, after this program, I'm kind of interested in talking to my colleague, Tony Kimmery, who...
	I've got to talk to the editor.
	I've got to talk to...
	I'm going to kick his ass for putting me on this damn show.
	He specializes in intelligence to see if he's aware of the stories that somebody might have helped the underwear bomber onto this plane because I certainly am unaware of them.
	As for the...
	There's lots of accusations of, you know, government being in bed with industry on various issues.
	No.
	I know as a matter of policy that the Bush administration...
	Oh, let's blame it on the Bushes, right?
	...actually had a plan for the whole body imagers to be rolled out.
	And that was under consideration by the Obama administration before the underwear bombing incident.
	Oh.
	And that just sort of accelerated that plan and put it into public view.
	Yeah, which was the whole plan.
	Thank you very much.
	He just slipped.
	He just told us the truth.
	Yeah, well, it was a mistake on his part.
	Anyway, I love C-SPAN. I love it.
	In fact, I can't even afford this stupid cable.
	All I need is internet.
	Can I just get C-SPAN and the networks, CNN and stuff?
	Can I just get that?
	Because, you know...
	What?
	I'm so sick and tired of cable.
	It's like, give up your cable, people.
	It's not worth it.
	So the other night...
	Why don't you get a Dish Network thing again?
	Just get the basic package, you'll get C-SPAN. Okay, it's all too expensive.
	So the other night, Mickey's like, let's rent a movie.
	Okay, let's rent a movie.
	We have Time Warner Cable.
	So we rent the movie.
	Oh, okay.
	Whatever, she selected whatever it was.
	Yeah, what was it?
	Hmm...
	It was the Johnny Depp movie that Hunter S. Thompson wrote.
	He produced that movie.
	Apparently it's a good movie.
	Okay, whatever.
	Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I think.
	No, that's not it.
	Okay.
	Where the Buffalo Roam.
	No, that's not it.
	It's a new movie.
	Oh, it's a new movie.
	New movie, yeah.
	And so, which I was looking forward to watch.
	And then it says, we cannot process your order.
	Call customer service.
	And of course, you know, Mickey, I love her dearly, but she's a chick.
	It's like, it's not working.
	I said, what does it say?
	It's call customer service.
	Well, Why don't you call customer service?
	And then you have to go through this whole thing.
	What's the phone number associated with it?
	What's the last four digits associated with it?
	All this crap.
	There's this happy-go-lucky guy, Chuck.
	Thanks, Chuck.
	Well, it says this.
	Well, looks like you have an outstanding payment of $500.
	Like, $500?
	And I'm freaking out.
	I'm like, I think I turn off the internet because it's Time Warner Cable.
	It's a package.
	Like, what is that?
	Well, looks like your credit card hasn't charged for three months or something.
	I'm like, what?
	And he says, oh no, I see what it is.
	Our billing cycle changed and then, you know, and it's basically their fault because they changed the way their billing cycle worked and the automatic payment doesn't work.
	I'm like, okay, well then let me pay for it now.
	I'll let you rape me.
	And he said, no, just so you know, this won't actually kick in for like three days.
	What are you talking about?
	He's right there on the phone.
	You get an approved authorization code right on the spot.
	No, no, no.
	Our system, he says, our system, it just places it.
	It's not really approved until we get it really approved.
	What are you talking about?
	What does that mean?
	I don't know, but our system doesn't work that way.
	I've seen it happen in 24 hours.
	He said, but I want the movie now.
	And at that point, I said to me, I said, we're getting rid of this crap.
	We're just getting the internet and C-SPAN and some of those douchebag news channels I gotta watch.
	We're getting rid of all of it.
	And we'll have another $150 a month to buy hookers with.
	Everyone should be doing that.
	It makes no sense that they can't just click the button.
	No, of course not.
	I mean, Comcast does, by the way.
	Well, they should.
	There's no reason why they shouldn't.
	No, it's all on a computer.
	One time, a couple years ago, somebody didn't pay or whatever, and I guess they tried calling because Comcast always calls you.
	But I guess nobody was around, so I come in, the Internet's down.
	But it still has enough of a feed to tell me that they cut me off.
	So I called the number and said, yeah, you got cut off.
	And I said, well, what's the deal?
	I said, well, you just owe us some money.
	And I gave him the card number and said, okay.
	Hits the button, boom, I'm back up.
	Instantly.
	The Rum Diary is the name of the movie.
	Oh, yeah.
	The Rum Diary.
	So you didn't get to see it?
	No!
	Give it all up.
	And you should do that at home too and consider sending money to the people who are bringing you real entertainment and real news.
	I think we're one of them.
	There are others out there.
	And that's how it's going to have to go in the future.
	And then get a Roku box.
	That kicks ass.
	Yeah, Roku box.
	Roku is outstanding.
	Roku and a Netflix.
	You can entertain yourself with all kinds of stuff on the Roku box.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Although, it's important that I have CNN, because if I can't get me a good Don Lemon fix like this...
	Thousands of women taking part in some unexpected training in Iran.
	They're learning how to be ninja fighters.
	Whoa!
	No!
	John!
	Not only are they creating nuclear weapons, they've got ninja fighters.
	How long have you been holding that clip?
	Ninja fighters, I tell you.
	It's an old clip.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	How old is it?
	The ninja fighters thing.
	I love the ninja fighters clip.
	In Gitmo Nation East in the UK, one of our producers sent this one in, the weatherman makes a little slip.
	We've got the showers.
	Obviously, that does bring the risk of some ice on the roads through the night and into Sunday morning.
	It is simply a lovely winter's day tomorrow.
	Bucket loads of cunt.
	Thank you.
	That's what he said.
	I don't know what he was thinking.
	He's probably got Tourette's.
	Oh, I love it.
	I love it so.
	Anyway.
	Well, I was trying to find something in the New York Times today.
	There's nothing to try to promote colonoscopy and...
	Continue the phony baloney.
	Is that the Ozzy Osbourne colonoscopy contest?
	Because I see those commercials all the time.
	Yeah, that's part of it.
	Who's ever doing the public relations for some colonoscopy devices?
	I think it's a bad...
	I don't think Ozzy Osbourne is the right spokesperson for that.
	No.
	You think?
	Not.
	Lots of vaccine news, though.
	There's a new Norwegian mass vaccination planned.
	So the state has ordered millions and millions of pandemics vaccinations.
	This is the country, by the way, where we first discovered the narcolepsy associated with that very vaccine.
	Uh, the norovirus is getting a lot of heat.
	It's everywhere now, says USA Today.
	This is the one that makes you poop.
	I've had it.
	I had it, I think, a year ago.
	Did you poop?
	Well, you poop and puke.
	Oh.
	It's a poop and puke thing, and it lasts for about 24 hours.
	You lose about five pounds.
	It's actually a great weight loss thing.
	It's a new diet pill.
	Poop and puke.
	You lose a little weight, and you poop and puke constantly.
	At the same time?
	24 hours later, you find that you're good to go.
	It's the stupidest thing ever.
	Well, USA Today reports there is hope.
	An antiviral medicine is in early development and significant progress is being made towards a vaccine.
	Yes, that's very good.
	It's not worth getting a vaccine.
	Whooping cough vaccine urge for all adults.
	That's right.
	The federal advisory panel wants all U.S. adults to get vaccinated against whooping cough.
	I had it when I was a kid.
	Why should I? I had the vaccine when I was a kid.
	Are you an adult?
	Are you an adult?
	Apparently not.
	You need to get this, son.
	The panel voted Wednesday to expand this recommendation to include all those 65 and older who have not gotten a whooping cough shot as an adult.
	So you've got a couple years yet.
	And they're also working on new drugs for hepatitis C. I mean, it's just a bonanza.
	It's a bonanza, I tell you.
	It's great.
	It's fantastic.
	It's fantastic.
	Just really, really, really doing great.
	And what else we got?
	I think that's all I got.
	Really?
	I may do have some clips, but there's nothing really interesting.
	No, I don't think...
	Maybe I had...
	I got a clip for that.
	I forgot what it is.
	It says, Keystone Pipeline, what's the deal?
	Yeah, I want to look into this.
	I've been looking into the Keystone Pipeline because there's something fishy about it.
	I haven't been able to figure out what it is, but here's a little clip that's kind of a teaser for what I'll be investigating.
	The president didn't turn down the Keystone Pipeline.
	There was a process in place, with long precedent, run out of the State Department.
	Now, this is the Gibbs show.
	Carney.
	Carney.
	I spoke to all Carney.
	Carney on the Gibbs show.
	Is Carney filling in for Gibbs?
	We saw the president...
	Kill the Keystone Pipeline temporarily.
	But now they say, no, I didn't do that.
	You didn't see it.
	You were looking at the wrong thing.
	You've been misled.
	Because of the issue of the pipeline crossing an international boundary that required an amount of time for proper review after an alternate route was deemed necessary.
	Yeah, well, you know, we did not look into this.
	And quite frankly, all I know is that Hillary's involved in it.
	And that just says enough right there.
	Hillary and pipelines.
	Do you need to know any more than that?
	That means there's a scam going on somewhere.
	Yeah, no, I'm sure there's a scam going on.
	I just like to figure out what it is.
	I do have one kind of interesting clip left.
	By the way, I have a feeling that Facebook will not go public at all.
	You want me to put it in the book?
	Yeah, put that in the book.
	I think you should put it in the book.
	And there's so much false information.
	I should write a blog post about this.
	There's so many people.
	Well, they've done $3 billion mainly from advertising.
	No.
	No.
	A million and a half came from sale of stock.
	And then 16% of the remainder was from Zynga money.
	So no.
	And when you think about it, they're not doing that great.
	So what are they doing?
	Like $100 billion a month?
	That's not all that great.
	$100 million a month.
	That's not all that great.
	Not considering a billion users.
	$800.
	Whatever it is.
	$800 billion.
	Oh, by the way, I need to call you out, dude.
	Okay, dude.
	What?
	You wrote in your PCMag column about someone selling a company for a gazillion dollars.
	Really?
	I'd never know.
	Really?
	It says gazillion.
	If you see me using the word gazillion in a column, a copy editor.
	Go to PCMag.
	I will not use that word.
	Or ginormous.
	There's another one.
	Because I use ginormous.
	You slap me back for that.
	You slap me back, and rightly so.
	And then I'm like, really?
	Really?
	You really used gazillion dollars?
	All right, I'm going to go look and see.
	I'll go look at my original copy.
	I'm going to look at this, and if it's in there, I'm going to complain bitterly.
	And I'm going to take a clip from this show and say, this is the public humiliation you've put me through.
	Okay, this is the...
	What would Steve Jobs do?
	Maybe it wasn't that one.
	Crap.
	I think it was that one.
	You wrote something recently about a company...
	Being bought or selling.
	Better give me the attribution.
	Because I can't look it up.
	Because I'll go do a search on all my columns for Gazillion and it won't be in there.
	So you have to tell me which one it is.
	And I'll find it.
	And literally, I was like, what?
	John C. Dvorak wrote Gazillion?
	It's not going to happen.
	There's a bunch of pet peeve things I don't do.
	I don't use the word natch.
	It's another one I hate.
	Natch?
	Yeah, it's a common natch.
	It means naturally.
	Natch?
	No, you should be shot for using that.
	Ah, I had an editor do that to me.
	I was writing for the San Francisco Examiner and he put in natch into the column.
	Ah, here it is.
	And I got bent out of shape about it because he thought it was cute.
	Here it is.
	It is from a different...
	I remember, now I remember what I was reading.
	Why does Twitter hate me?
	Okay?
	By the way, the column was ineffective to get me verified.
	I have been critical of blogging.
	At the time, Williams, meaning Ev Williams, ran Blogger and eventually sold it to Google for gazillions of dollars.
	Nope, nope, nope.
	I remember writing that sentence.
	Well, who's your editor?
	I use the word millions.
	Who's your editor?
	Who's your editor?
	Well, there's about five people to go through, so I don't know which one put that in there.
	Well, when you take the clip from this show and say, here's what the public thinks of you.
	Douchebag!
	Not you, but the editor.
	The editor.
	It's ridiculous.
	I saw that.
	I'm like, since when does John have a ghostwriter on his columns?
	Man, it's only 500 words.
	Gazillion.
	What is Mimi writing them now?
	I tell you, I didn't use that word.
	I'm just stunned that somebody would put it in there when it's inaccurate.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	It's one of those vague words that should never be used.
	It's like natch.
	Somebody uses it because they think it's cute.
	Snatch is okay, though?
	Well, yeah, better.
	So I think that there's a lot going on with Facebook.
	And this report has two meanings.
	One, get off Facebook.
	And two, Facebook...
	Is not where you want to be.
	So I like the report, but I think this is someone trying to devalue the company or do something, but this type of reporting will not help them actually go public, which they probably shouldn't do anyway, because they'll just make themselves rich and go out of business.
	Parties are trying to figure out how pictures of 17 Massachusetts high school students ended up on a porn website.
	This is an awful thing.
	You know, we're very concerned about our students and their safety here at the school, or anytime, actually.
	Police say the photos of the fully clothed students from Bay Path Vocational Technical School were taken from their Facebook pages.
	These students were unwilling participants in this.
	This isn't like they knew that their personal photos were going to be posted to this website.
	And these photos were basically...
	This is the sheriff talking, by the way.
	...hijacked from their personal Facebook.
	The pictures were found on the website last month.
	School officials say they immediately informed police and student parents of the situation.
	I've heard it from many of the girls that were on it.
	They were overwhelmed.
	They were humiliated.
	They didn't know how their pitches got exploited.
	How about download and save?
	How hard is that?
	Perching students to limit their access to Facebook pages.
	Well, I deleted mine because I didn't want to be a part of, like, anything that would happen to me and stuff.
	State and federal law enforcement officials...
	There's a genius.
	Yeah, I deleted mine.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Schools are trying to figure out...
	Who is responsible for the website, which they say also included child pornography.
	So far, they've determined the site is based overseas.
	Yeah, Chiners.
	The Chiners trying to take down the Facebooks.
	There's a war going on there, folks.
	Anyway, would you like a scoop?
	When it comes to pictures and copyright?
	So I have successfully defended the Creative Commons copyright in court twice.
	In the Netherlands, you can Google this.
	There's jurisprudence now that Creative Commons copyright stands up.
	Why?
	Because a Dutch magazine, a...
	Gossip Magazine had taken pictures off of my Flickr site at the time, which has a Creative Commons tag, and published them, and I sued them successfully in court, and the judge said, well, the copyright is valid, but screw you, Curry.
	You didn't lose any money.
	So I didn't get any damages, and it cost me a lot of money.
	It cost you $1,000 and more.
	Actually, taking them to court cost $4,000.
	But I did it to prove a point.
	So if you go to creativecommons.org, you'll see that case laid out and translated everything.
	So something very interesting happened two weeks ago.
	Some of the pictures from our Hot Pockets Tour 2008, particularly the ones with the guns, you recall these pictures?
	Yeah.
	So they showed up in a magazine saying, oh, Adam and Mickey, they're engaged, they're going to get married, and here's a whole page of pictures of them.
	And it's, you know, it's like Mickey with the Glock.
	It's like me with the AR-15.
	Was this in Holland?
	Yes.
	And they even won on the cover.
	And I'm like, wow!
	But it turns out, and this was a little learning moment at home, it said, source, it had a credit for the photos, Adam Curry and Mickey Hoogendyke Twitter.
	I'm like, really?
	And so, you know, Twitter, I'm like, really?
	Really?
	So it turns out that Mickey had uploaded some of these pictures, tweeted them, and they went through Twitter's new photo service.
	And so first I say, Mickey, you know, it's like, I don't think, is it TwitPic?
	No, it's not TwitPic, it's the other one.
	Well, whatever, go on.
	I say, Mickey, this is really tough, man, because, you know, we don't have a creative commons on these, and if you go and look, it says, in the terms of service, it says, Twitter, you hereby give Twitter, you know, a worldwide license to basically sell your crap.
	Sell whatever you want.
	So if Twitter gave them a license, then we're screwed.
	And so she's like, oh man, that was really dumb.
	I'm like, yeah, okay, anyway, it's okay.
	I said, I'm going to call my guy and we'll see what he says.
	And so I call my lawyer in Holland.
	He says, well, you know what?
	Why don't we ask the publisher, which is a big company, Audax.
	So why don't we ask him to show us the permission from Twitter?
	Since they say they got it from Twitter, show the permission.
	And so my lawyer, of course, writes a different note.
	He says, we need 5,000 euros and 1,000 euros in legal costs unless you can produce the document.
	And you have to sign this document that says, if we ever do it again, we'll have to pay you 20,000 euros.
	Guess what?
	They came back.
	You got a check in the mail?
	Well, 1,500 euros damages, 1,000 euros for the legal fee, which basically all of it's going to go towards the lawyer.
	This went on for two weeks.
	This is like 400 euros a letter.
	So I'm making no money on the deal.
	And they did sign the document.
	They said, if we ever do it again, we'll pay you $20,000.
	So I would say it's a win.
	A, we know that Twitter didn't sell it.
	That's really good.
	But also, you can actually go after these a-holes.
	Well, in Holland, anyway.
	Oh, it's jurisprudence.
	It'll stand up.
	It'll stand up.
	We're pretty cool, right?
	Yeah, no, I'm glad that you're doing this.
	It's a big deal.
	Yeah, I'm the only guy that does this.
	All these puffers, pufferizers, no one ever does the dirty work.
	Well, Disney does.
	Yeah, I said, we really can't afford this.
	But let's just do it.
	We've got to protect ourselves.
	We can't have this happening.
	And there you go.
	And so we're just waiting for the final negotiation because I want, as a part of the deal, I want to be able to publicize this so that people know that magazines just can't go stealing your pictures.
	But, at the same time, Twitter could actually give someone the license to do that.
	Right.
	So smart money would go to Twitter and have a deal.
	The way you do it, you have a standing deal with Twitter.
	Exactly.
	To take everything they have whenever you feel like it and then whatever you use and you give them a check.
	So you say, I want a standing deal.
	I want to use whatever I can use.
	And then if you use one thing, then you send them a check.
	If you use two things, you send them another check.
	Right you are.
	That's the way these deals are usually done.
	Right you are.
	So I'm thinking we've got to set up an agency.
	Right.
	A photo agency?
	I got another idea.
	It's a photo agency.
	It's a Twitter photo agency.
	It'll be a middleman for Twitter.
	They make money on the deal.
	They need to make money.
	A document came out, the Obama administration coming out with an online bill of rights, which is the most disgusting document I've ever seen, but I have not dissected it enough, so we'll talk about that on Sunday.
	I will be all over it, because it's exactly what this is about, how the government will actually help commercial companies...
	Screw you.
	...and take your stuff, exactly.
	So, get off Facebook, get rid of your cable, and move to Austin.
	Because that's where it's at, baby.
	Everyone here is tall and pretty, too.
	Ha!
	Alright!
	Coming to you from Camp Mofo here in the Drone Star State in Austin, Tejas.
	That'd be the capital.
	In the morning, everybody.
	My name's Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where there actually is a pool on how long Adam will stay in Austin, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Yeah, enough about your family.
	And a reminder, Dirty Boxers Lee Brown is live Monday to Friday on the stream from 9 to 11 a.m.
	Eastern.
	And you will definitely want to check him out.
	He's a British dude, does a fun little show there.
	You should check it out on the stream, noagendastream.com.
	We'll be back again on Sunday with another fun-packed episode right here on No Agenda.
