	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, March 8th, 2012.
	Time for Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 389er.
	This is No Agenda.
	Practicing my duck and cover for solar mayhem here at Camp MoFo in the capital of the drone star state, Austin, Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And with nothing clever to say from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	This is Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	How disappointing.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That's like the last thing I do before the show.
	It's like, you know...
	You write something clever.
	Well, clever.
	I don't know if it's so clever.
	Well, there you have it.
	It's better than, nothing clever to say.
	That's clever.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, except I've heard it many times in the opening.
	No, no, no.
	I've never said that ever.
	You can't find one documented case where I've ever said that.
	Oh, you know, if there wasn't so much good stuff on C-SPAN, I'd prove you wrong.
	And I'd go and find it.
	Yeah, pfft.
	It's only 388 episodes that I have to listen to, but I'd find it.
	Just the beginning?
	It's in there somewhere.
	It's not?
	So it's International Women's Day.
	Yes.
	Happy International Women's Day, everybody.
	And just before the show, we decided that we needed a men's day.
	There is one.
	There's an International Men's Day.
	It's on the 19th of November.
	That's right.
	Also known as IBJ Day.
	I don't believe that's the case.
	I don't want a rose.
	Anyway, I'm tired.
	I was up late last night.
	I had to pick up...
	This is kind of cool.
	We picked up Miss Molly Wood from the airport.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	She's at the S by SWW? Yeah.
	She slept in the house here.
	Huh.
	Yeah.
	Now the place is rockin'.
	Yeah, you should do a party there for the event.
	No.
	I got my own party.
	I don't need any onlookers.
	Yeah.
	Got the hot tub all ramped up.
	Got Miss Mickey, Miss Molly.
	Is life good or what?
	As long as she doesn't come back to the house with anecdotes from the event.
	Yeah.
	It was so funny.
	So the flight was delayed by two hours at Bergstrom International.
	It was like 11.30.
	And you can just see the San Francisco flight arrived for South by Southwest.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Everyone has their douchebag uniform on.
	Hey, I'm so hip.
	I'm here for South by.
	Never been.
	You know what I mean, right?
	You know exactly what I mean.
	Yeah, you go to these things and you go to the airport or when you're on one of the flights, you look around and you go, oh.
	Or if you're just coincidentally flying somewhere and you look around and you go, oh, there's a bunch of these tech guys here.
	They all have a certain...
	They're like a...
	Je ne sais quoi.
	Oh, yeah.
	There's a lot of je ne sais quoi going on.
	Yeah.
	So it's going to be interesting.
	Anyway, in the morning to you, Jean-Claude Devorak.
	In the morning to you, Sir Adam Curry, the ships at sea.
	Hello.
	And boots on the ground high and feet in the air.
	How you doing?
	How you doing?
	And, of course, our human resources who dutifully have checked in once again for our live broadcast of this program, which occurs every Thursday and Sunday morning at 9 a.m.
	Pacific Standard, Gitmo Nation West Time, noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
	Good to see everybody on board there to correct us when we fall off the wagon and to yell out stupid things like, you should get a Molly Wood slept here sign in your bedroom.
	Like Abraham Lincoln slept here.
	Molly Wood slept here in 2012.
	So I have to say I'm very proud of our No Agenda listeners, John.
	What did they do for you?
	Very, very proud.
	Well...
	I think we've made a significant difference in some people's lives.
	And that significant difference is they're noticing the bull crap when it comes out.
	They smell the stink before they even have to listen to us on the show talk about it.
	And in this case, I'm referring to the Kony 2012 video, which has gone viral.
	Kony Phony.
	The Phony Kony.
	Ooh, good.
	Write it down.
	The Phony Kony.
	Even Chris Perillo, when I went to tweet that we're on the air, Perillo's on my stream, and he had some complaint about it.
	And when Chris is complaining about something, that's pretty unusual.
	I don't know if Chris listens to the show, though.
	I don't think so.
	I'm sure he does not.
	He's a smart guy.
	But I got so...
	I need to just send emails from people.
	You got the typical, like, hey man, this doesn't smell right.
	So we got a lot of those.
	Appreciate it.
	32 million views, though.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Crappy video.
	It's outrageous.
	This is a 30-minute video about Joseph Kony.
	And a lot of people actually did some significant research as well, which was quite nice to see.
	I would like to take you back, though, to No Agenda episode 348 of October last year.
	So there was one other piece of news which kind of slipped in, and I saw all kinds of propaganda about it, and I happened to know a little bit about the topic, and I thought, my research, because of course, whenever you have something as big as Occupy Wall Street, and the Occupy, hey, remember that, man?
	Remember that Occupy I think we used to talk about.
	There's all kinds of things happening.
	Legislation takes place.
	Executive orders are carried out.
	Boots are sent to the ground.
	Breaking news tonight.
	The United States is now involved in seven conflicts.
	President Obama says he's dispatching roughly 100 of our troops to Uganda to battle one of Central Africa's most brutal rebel groups, the Lord's Resistance Army, which has been operating for 20 years in Uganda.
	The White House says the first American troops arrived in Uganda Wednesday, but ultimately they will also deploy to South Sudan, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Congo as advisors, says the White House.
	The Lord's Resistance Army began its attacks in Uganda more than two decades ago.
	It's recently been pushing a westward.
	Human rights groups say it's...
	Yeah, we didn't obviously go into it in much detail.
	We did, actually.
	Because we didn't mean to it.
	And if you look at, there's a whole...
	All you have to do is type in this Kony 2012 and then the word scam.
	Well, we did go into it because at the time, Clinton, Bill, had been down in Uganda, remember, with his Clinton Global Initiative.
	He's been there for a long time, actually, and he had a lot of involvement in Uganda in 1990.
	But at the time, just before this happened, you will recall that there was a huge oil strike in Uganda.
	Not in people laying down arms and not working, but there was a big fight of oil.
	So this video comes out at a very opportune moment where I read you from the news of February the 17th through the 20th.
	Tulo Oil say they have found another $1 billion fine of oil.
	And along with Tulo Oil, remember the guys we listened to the quarterly report, the conference call?
	Aranaconda, I think it is.
	Those guys at Texas Oil Company.
	So, they're down there as well.
	So, of course, when you have more oil being discovered, we have to ramp it up a little bit.
	So, I actually watched this video.
	And, well, I'm sure you didn't.
	The Kony 2012?
	Yeah, you didn't watch it, did you?
	I watched the beginning and the end.
	But this video is actually...
	Well, go on and out.
	There's a history to this video.
	Yes.
	So I pulled three short clips from the video because, of course, I watched the entire thing.
	Let's listen to the mission first.
	Because now we know what to do.
	Here it is.
	Ready?
	Ready!
	In order for Kony to be arrested this year, the Ugandan military has to find him.
	In order to find him, they need the technology and training to track him in the vast jungle.
	That's where the American advisors come in.
	But in order for the American advisors to be there...
	Note, advisors is a military, and this is what we're calling the troops we've sent in now.
	Yeah, that's what we call them, and that's their shooting.
	The U.S. government...
	Yeah, that's their job, advisor.
	They have a big patch.
	U.S. military advisor.
	...has to deploy them.
	They've done that.
	But if the government doesn't believe the people care about arresting Kony, the mission will be canceled.
	Canceled!
	In order for the people to care, they have to know.
	And they will only know if Kony's name is everywhere.
	So let me just say a few things, and then I want to hear your take on this.
	So, Kony has not actually been active since 2006, when he, this is the Lord's, the LRA, the Lord's Resistance Army, when he kind of went into hiding in Sudan and the Congo.
	And, you know, according to all reports, governmental certainly, he only has about 200 so-called troops.
	But as we discussed in the previous, and I actually have the clip, so you can go on the show notes, 389.nashownotes.com.
	You can listen to our previous discussion about it.
	We don't have to reopen the entire thing.
	The atrocities that have been going on in Uganda have been probably even worse because of President Museveni.
	And Clinton is a big supporter of this guy, and he has effectively taken the Acholi tribe, the people of the Acholi peoples, about two million of them, and has thrown them into a displaced persons encampment, which you could also just call Auschwitz.
	And there's some videos and other stuff in the show notes so you can see what's really going on there.
	And Kony is effectively being accused of what Museveni himself has been doing.
	And there is no logical reason to have this huge media hype campaign to go and get Kony other than...
	To create another sort of Al-Qaeda, genocide, massacre, slaughter in Africa, so we can establish a long wish of the United States, which is AFRICOM, the African Command, which we have not yet found a home for in Africa.
	And, of course, when you have AFRICOM in there, then it's very handy to use that to protect the oil interests of the West, which have heavy involvement from Bill Clinton.
	The real tip off in this video, of course, whenever you need to sell something to the public, who do you call?
	George Clooney.
	I want, I'd like indicted war criminals to enjoy the same level of celebrity as me.
	That seems fair.
	That's our objective, is to just shine a light on it.
	If our goal is to get Coney's name known, the known should join us.
	We are targeting 20 of the most diverse and influential culture makers to speak out about Coney and make him famous.
	Ha ha!
	So Clooney's in there, but not just Clooney, John.
	Not just Clooney.
	Wherever there's Clooney, who is following clothes behind?
	Well, if you go to Coney2012.com, you have the who's who of this bull crap.
	Well, before you go into the celebrities, who is Clooney's handler?
	Oh yeah, that guy.
	Prendergast.
	We thought that if the government...
	By the way, I think he's one of the board members or something.
	Yeah, of course, of course.
	The physical children group.
	Here he is.
	We thought that if the government knew, they would do something to stop him.
	But everyone in Washington we talked to said there is no way the United States will ever get involved in a conflict where our national security or financial interests aren't at stake.
	No administration, Republican, Democrat, Obama, Bush, Clinton, doesn't matter, would do enough because it's simply not an important enough issue on the radar screen of American foreign policy.
	So this is a video, and particularly the way the director of the film, his name is Jason Russell, the way he abused his own child to propagate this lie is, I think,
	Goebbels would be pleased, would be just smiling from ear to ear how beautifully done this campaign is, and it is produced by the Invisible Children's Charity.
	Yeah, well, let's make something clear to people out there.
	We had a note from a filmmaker saying, gee, I can't believe this guy and his kid did this movie.
	There's got to be more.
	This movie was actually done in 2004.
	It was an hour long, and it was finally released in 2006 and got no anything, got no notice.
	And it was recut to this short version.
	And it was actually directed by Russell, a guy named Bobby Bailey, and Lauren Poole, another woman.
	Or another guy, I guess.
	I don't know.
	That's a word.
	This is not something that was cranked out overnight.
	I'm not even sure what the situation with this kid.
	I didn't see the original film, but it was...
	I think that was added to it.
	Maybe not.
	I mean, this could be the kid's 40 by now, for all we know.
	But the kid's a little bit much.
	I mean, he should be in the show Glee, it seems to me, more than...
	He's a handsome kid.
	I'll give you that.
	He's a handsome kid.
	Yeah, handsome is the word.
	So I looked into the...
	Of course, you know me.
	I love to read some legal documents.
	So I looked at Invisible Kids, Invisible Children, the charity, their 994.
	So they did a nice $10 million in revenue this year.
	Yeah, $10 million from all the suckers.
	Well, the suckers are Humanity United Foundation, and if you go to Humanity United Foundation to their website, that's where you see where all the big money is from.
	By the way, their donation in this past year, $333,000.
	Hello, magic numbers everywhere.
	But also the Oprah Winfrey Foundation, she got suckered.
	She really got suckered.
	She put in $2 million.
	But as you go through it, you see that the movie itself received $850,000 to produce the movie, and that was paid to the Invisible Children feature film, LLC. So that's a commercial venture.
	This is how it always works.
	You know, you've got to have a front, and then, of course, the production is actually done outside of the charity.
	And the guy who heads that up is Jedediah Jenkins, who is also a director, the director of idea development.
	I need that on my business card for invisible children.
	So not even a conflict of interest is not mentioned specifically.
	They mentioned the guy who's on the board who sells the printer and toner cartridges, but not that.
	Jed Ajayi Jenkins actually produced the film.
	He is, of course, Kristen Bell's boyfriend.
	So we've got the whole Hollywood connection.
	Right, and if you look on the Board of Advisors and the Board of Directors, Kristen Bell's actually listed.
	Of course, she's stupid in the direction.
	If you take a look at the PDF of their annual report.
	Screwing the guy.
	And so of course what made this go viral is that they have convinced celebrities of the ilk of Rihanna and P. Diddy to tweet out about this fantastic video.
	And let me just say as a show business executive, you should be ashamed that you are actually putting your African brothers and sisters in such harm's way by propagating such lies.
	And you are evil hereby.
	I renounce P. Diddy.
	I renounce.
	And Rihanna.
	I renounce Rihanna.
	They are hereby evil or just stupid or probably a combination of the two.
	And curiously, P. Diddy wasn't given the 20.
	I mean, 2012 also refers to 20 celebrities and 12 politicians.
	He was not in there.
	He's not in there.
	I know, because he's already on board, you see.
	So they already got him.
	But I have at least 20 different links.
	And by the way, if you look at the website for Invisible Children, you see the filmmaker and the board of directors in the banner header.
	Scroll up to the top, John, of the website.
	They're standing there with automatic rifles looking all like, hey, we're cool.
	We're fighting for peace with weapons.
	I don't know exactly what they're trying to say with that, but that's creepy.
	Creepy that you're pretending to save children, the invisible children who are being stolen and maimed and raped and turned into soldiers, which, by the way, has been going on on the Museveni Ugandans, the Ugandan government side, more than anywhere else.
	It's cultural, almost.
	But you watch now as AFRICOM starts to ramp up.
	We will see AFRICOM being firmly planted right there in northern Uganda, southern Sudan, the Congo, and you will see encampments popping up all around the Tulo oil fields and the lake there.
	Was it Lake George, I think it is?
	Lake Charles?
	Lake Charles, I think.
	I think it's funny they use the Amazon cloud for all their stuff.
	Yeah.
	Without being able to mask the URL, how hard is that?
	Yeah, I know.
	The URL pops up as invisiblechildren.com.s3, which is the Amazon system.
	Yeah, the S3 cloud.
	Dash website.
	I mean, that's lame.
	That's really bad.
	Webby 101.
	You can do better than that.
	I know.
	I know.
	But yeah, so I'm very proud of our No Agenda listeners who immediately went, this doesn't feel right, this has got to be wrong, and you're right.
	And this Coney guy, all of a sudden so important we find him, he has not been on the scene since 2006, six years ago.
	Six years ago, but now it's important, you watch it ramp up.
	The last time we had this, we had our, what was it, our experts, our advisors?
	Tech experts too.
	Yeah, our tech experts go in, and this will be the start of AFRICOM. That's a possibility.
	I like the idea that they would put it in Uganda.
	It's a perfect place.
	And Bill Clinton greased the wheels, man.
	He greased the wheels, and he's an advisor to TULO. He's an advisor to the Texas oil companies.
	So it makes nothing but sense.
	And just one more thing.
	And, of course, we've got to kick the Chiners out.
	Well, that's always a given.
	And it's always a good thing.
	So I want you to go to the Kony2012.com site.
	Yes.
	Do I have to, really?
	Yes.
	Give me the Amazon URL, because I can't remember.
	No, no, just...
	Coney2012.com.
	And then the Amazon URL will match you.
	Automatically.
	Websiteuse.one.amazonaws.com.
	It's unbelievable on there.
	Okay, right.
	Yeah, I'm there.
	I'm there.
	Okay.
	So we have our 20 celebrities, which, you know, some of them...
	Wait, where do you...
	Wait, get the kit!
	So I want you to look further.
	We'll just skip the celebrities because it's ludicrous.
	I mean, you could pick any 20.
	You mean the culture makers?
	Oh, Bill O'Reilly.
	Really?
	Gee.
	That doesn't mean he's done anything.
	These are the people they're targeting.
	They're targeting.
	Well, Rihanna's on there.
	Look, they got Rihanna.
	Yeah, they got her targeted and she took the bait.
	They should, like, put an X over her face when they get her.
	Yeah.
	There should be an X over the two targets that fell for this.
	Maybe we should make our own.
	And Ryan Seacrest.
	I'll just put an X on his face just for good measure no matter what.
	And your buddy Bono.
	Bono, yeah.
	Okay, so let's go to the policy makers.
	Yeah, okay.
	Oh boy!
	Who do we have here?
	So let's go over these.
	Again, how many people fell for this is minimal.
	Except Clinton, of course, is at the top.
	Okay, I would like you to look at this list and tell me if there's at least two people...
	Out of place insofar as if you're just going to pick famous politicians, would you pick these two, let me give you a hint, women who you've never heard of?
	Like Kay Granger and Eilina Ross-Lathinen.
	I've heard of her, actually.
	I see her on C-SPAN all the time.
	I've never seen her.
	This picture is not her realistic image.
	This is a question I'm asking you.
	If you notice the color scheme of the site, which is black and red, there's only one person wearing any color.
	And that's K. Well, Stephen Harper has blue.
	Well, on my monitor, it's barely noticeable.
	Kate Granger stands out.
	I did a little research.
	I could not come up with any rationale for her being on this list or why they're making her up.
	I can tell you why.
	Okay, go.
	A, she's from Texas.
	We have lots of oil companies.
	B, she's on the Subcommittee for Defense.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, yeah, she's on a couple of subcommittees that might apply.
	And also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
	Come on, man.
	She qualifies.
	What are you talking about?
	What more do you need?
	Why don't they have our friend...
	Aaron on here on this list somewhere.
	Seems to me he's got more influence right now.
	Or Wolf Blitzer.
	Where's he?
	Why don't they target him?
	Mark Zuckerberg?
	They must think he's the dumbest guy in the world.
	And I bet you Zuckerberg will come out and do it.
	Zuckerberg's not that stupid.
	Facebook update.
	Save the children.
	Give Facebook a big...
	A gorgeous promotion at the beginning of the movie.
	Yes.
	At the beginning, right there.
	Facebook didn't exist.
	It's got nothing to do with anything, but they gave it this huge promotion, obviously, to get him on board.
	I don't want to dwell on this.
	No, we don't have to.
	But it's an oil scam, and that's it, and that's the end of it.
	Done.
	Clear.
	Now, there was one other...
	Beautiful piece of promotion that we also have to just revisit for a second.
	We talked about it because a lot happened with the Rush Limbaugh slut thing between Sunday and now.
	Yeah, which you poo-pooed when I brought it up.
	Well, no, I did not poo-poo it, but I'd like to go back and explain again what really happened here.
	So I'm going to go back to Republican X-Factor reality show debate I think number five, when Democratic operative and agent George Stephanopoulos threw this question out at Mitt Romney, very significant.
	States have the right to ban contraception, or is that trumped by a constitutional right to privacy?
	George, this is an unusual topic that you're raising.
	States have a right to ban contraception.
	So this was completely out of the blue, completely what?
	I remember we talked about it and Romney was befuddled by it.
	It wasn't a topic of conversation at all.
	He even turned to Ron Paul and said, you're our constitutional expert.
	What the hell is this question all about?
	So here's my theory, and we discussed it at the time.
	This was meant to move the conversation away from any of the issues the Republican Party was talking about in the debates and focus clearly on this.
	And for weeks we had religious bullcrap, one after another, planted by George Stephanopoulos.
	Now, very key.
	Mitt Romney still receives an annuity, although it no longer works for them, from Bain Capital.
	Bain Capital owns Clear Channel.
	Clear Channel owns Premier Radio Networks.
	This thing was getting so out of hand, they had to turn the focus away from the stupid religious debate, and they succeeded by the call coming in to their boy, Rush Limbaugh, saying, dude, I don't care what you do, distract them from the debate about The contraceptives and the religious issue focus it on you.
	And he did his job.
	He went, she's a slut, she's a prostitute, and that was the only thing you heard about.
	Gone was the conversation about religion and contraceptives and women's health.
	That was wiped off the table.
	And he had no problem doing it.
	So he lost a couple of douchebag sponsors.
	Whatever.
	He doesn't care.
	This is how willing they were to go all the way into this.
	And I think it's a brilliant strategy that we've seen unfold before our very eyes.
	And only no agenda listeners really are able to see the entire picture.
	Are you with me or not?
	Did the conversation immediately switch?
	Yeah, there's a couple of fishy things about it.
	And that would explain it, of course.
	One is Limbaugh went on about it for four days.
	Stop just in time for Super Tuesday.
	Why hasn't he been sued?
	He won't be.
	It's paid off.
	And if he is going to get sued, they're going to pick it up for him.
	And it definitely...
	Took the attention away from the, especially Santorum, who seems to be the one that went down the rabbit hole.
	That's right.
	Santorum had the whole surge going on, and they had to immediately stop everything.
	The whole media talked about nothing else but slut, slut, slut, slut, slut.
	That's all that it was.
	The media is so easy to play.
	The only ones who don't seem to be able to get any PR is you and me.
	We're the only guys that don't know how to do this.
	Because we're not playing the game.
	I mean, even the porn industry did better than we did.
	They picked up on this thing.
	Porn in the Valley, Southern California probably comes to mind.
	But soon, that could all change because the billion dollar porn industry is seriously considering moving its operations here to our valley.
	Anita Roman joins us live now to explain...
	This is Arizona.
	Sweeping health regulations will require porn performers in the state of California to wear a condom when on location.
	When on location.
	I love that.
	What does that mean?
	On location in the bedroom?
	Hi, I'm on location here in the Arizona Valley.
	Oh, hold on.
	John, are you wearing your condom?
	We're on location.
	We can't report without our condoms.
	Take effect on March 5th.
	That's just a few days away.
	Well, those in the industry say this is an attempt to regulate how movies are shot.
	And they say they're fighting back.
	And tonight, they brought that fight to Phoenix.
	Do you want to hear some of the funny porn stars talk about it?
	Of course!
	This is the only time we have this opportunity.
	This is gold!
	Adult movie star and film producer Taryn Thomas signing autographs for fans tonight at the first ever adult film convention in Phoenix.
	It's the government and their nanny laws.
	It's overstepping their boundaries.
	Thomas on a crusade to move the industry to Arizona after a strict new law in California is set to change the way movies are made there.
	The law will require performers to wear condoms.
	I wonder what's going to happen for the next Fast and the Furious movie.
	Does Vin Diesel have to keep it under 65?
	I love the rationale.
	Vin Diesel, slow down, man.
	Slow down.
	Your movie's dangerous.
	Does James Bond have to wear tactical gear?
	Filmmaker Michael Weidegger says he's already seen a change.
	Producers, actors, he says, are packing up and moving to a new valley, one with no restrictions.
	Weidegger says more shooting means more money.
	But former porn actress and founder of the Pink Cross Foundation, Shelley Lubin, warns of something else.
	I love how they put in the little counterpoint.
	Very good.
	Good package.
	What they bring with them is rampant STDs, prostitution, drug trafficking, and let me tell you, they're going to recruit young women in Phoenix.
	Duh!
	Bring that to take us.
	Oh, and hey, there's no drug trafficking in Phoenix.
	Trafficking in Phoenix?
	No, none whatsoever.
	There's no prostitution in Phoenix.
	Nothing, nothing.
	I said bring the porn industry to Austin.
	Come on, we got UT here.
	Liven it up.
	Yeah, let's rock this joint.
	Forever workers, of course.
	I'm going to swap to that as well.
	Amy Brooks started making internet...
	Here's the best one.
	This chick is awesome.
	...in Phoenix in 2008, and like Thomas, is willing to come back if it means freedom of expression.
	Say a construction worker has to wear a hard hat, okay?
	But this building he's building is still going to look the same when it's done, okay?
	But if a performer has to wear a condom, it's not going to show up the same way, and it's not going to be the same way in the end.
	That is the best.
	That is Miss America good, I tell you.
	Well, a construction worker has to wear a hard hat, but when he's done, the building's like still the building.
	But, you know, when I got to wear, you know, we have a condom, then the movie's not the same.
	What a rationale.
	There's a couple of problems with this idea of moving to Phoenix.
	One is a lot of actresses that are in the porn industry actually always wanted to be and probably still in some vague way hope to be movie stars.
	Yeah.
	And so you've got to be in the L.A. area.
	You can't all of a sudden be in Phoenix.
	Say you have to be in the milieu.
	Say it.
	You have to be in the milieu.
	My favorite word, milieu.
	And so she, you know, so I don't know.
	I mean, the real solution to this problem that they have, a dilemma as it were, is to get that law overturned.
	Well, there was a nice little setup in here, and I was tipped off to this.
	Tipped off to it?
	Tipped off.
	Oh, tipped.
	So right after, I mean literally hours after President Obama and his administration put through this mandate, he went to a New York City fundraising dinner, $35,800 per month.
	Per pop, hosted by top lobbyist Sally Sussman, VP for Government Affairs at Pfizer.
	And the reason why this is significant, because this now mandates that your healthcare provider pay for contraceptive in its entirety.
	So guess what they're not going to choose?
	Generics.
	There's plenty of generics.
	Everybody is loving this.
	The pharmaceutical industry is like, yay, yay, Barack, thank you once again.
	You've done it.
	This is fantastic.
	So now everyone will be prescribing the brand name anticonception medicine.
	Everything will be brand name.
	There's no copay.
	Okay?
	So this is a bonanza for the pharma industry.
	It's a double whammy.
	Yeah, this is the scam.
	Yep.
	We got a note, I think we both did, from one of our producers talking about how his $5 generic, you know, something he had for, I think, some condition.
	Oh, he's Army.
	He's the new, what is the TriPlan?
	It was a couple episodes ago.
	He's a veteran and now all of a sudden his provider is forced to no longer provide generics.
	It all has to be brand name.
	Yeah, it goes from $5 to $500 or some ridiculous thing.
	And of course it doesn't cost the person with insurance anymore because it's all with this co-paid deal.
	But it costs the insurance company a lot more.
	And they're in on the scam.
	And of course, insurance rates go sky high.
	This whole thing is rotten.
	Really rotten.
	And Obama, who has gotten more money from the insurance companies than anybody else, and puts through this phony baloney.
	And what gets me about it is the Republicans...
	Moan and groan about Obamacare.
	Never once mentioning this essential fraud, this scam that's taking place, which increases the cost of insurance because of these, you know, hidden fees that are all done in the back, you know, in the back room.
	Because, you know, you still pay the $10, but the insurance company now gets billed $500 or $200 or $100.
	As opposed to being billed $5, $10.
	Wait a minute.
	You don't think that perhaps the Republican...
	Party is also on the take from the...
	Well, they're obviously on the take, or somebody somewhere would say something, and they don't.
	They say nothing.
	We need, like, a small, independent condom manufacturer to sponsor this show.
	We could do it.
	It would be better than we did today.
	It would be better than what we're getting at this last episode.
	We should thank our two executive producers who showed up.
	This is what always happens.
	The rollercoaster where people jump in on a magic number donation and we do just nice for an episode and then it's just like off the cliff like Wile E. Coyote, man.
	Yeah.
	So we've got, in fact I should, well actually before, let me go look up C-Lock's email first.
	I think we also got an email from Oracle Broadcasting.
	What?
	Oracle Broadcasting?
	Do they want to syndicate our program?
	No, they just wanted to give us a contribution.
	What is Oracle Broadcasting?
	Is that like a, is that a legit outfit?
	I guess they gave us money, so they must be legit.
	But anyway, we have one executive producer and one associate executive producer for this show.
	Rob Seelock, Sir Seelock, actually, in Cochran, Alberta, gave us $241.
	He becomes executive producer.
	And I have an email from him.
	And then Oracle Broadcasting is the associate executive producer from Round Rock, Texas, right up the street from you.
	Oh, yeah.
	I'm looking at him right now.
	Yeah, they're like a Liberty Network.
	Yeah, and they gave us $200, and that's what we got to produce this show, so it's a little on the light side, I'd say.
	But let me read Rob's note.
	Particularly for sitting through that Coney thing for a half hour and then doing all the research.
	Well, Coney.
	Let's see if that pays off on a Sunday.
	The donation is specifically due to John's attempt to pull Adam's head out of the pipeline conspiracy.
	Okay.
	Apparently, you're the only one who felt that way.
	A strong believer of following the money and oil, but not everything is a massive conspiracy.
	The donation places me near my second knighthood.
	I asked my wife if she'd like it, to which she told me not to waste my money on that crappy podcast.
	That's us, baby.
	Crappypodcast.com.
	Jeez.
	Anyway, obviously she's not aware of it being the greatest podcast in the universe.
	She probably doesn't listen to podcasts.
	Then I asked if I could give it to one of the kids explaining that she, like John, when he was on Twit and the other guy, Adam, was from MTV, to make a long story short, if my wife ever asks, knighthoods only cost $100.
	That's right.
	Yeah, if she ever asks.
	So he wants us to do a contest, like a lottery.
	The problem with lotteries is there's all kinds of legal ramifications.
	So I need to say two things here.
	One, I understand his wife because podcasts, I have to agree, it sounds like some kind of venereal disease.
	It's not like Oracle Broadcasting.
	That sounds good, right?
	From the Oracle Broadcasting Network.
	That sounds good.
	And now we're like, it's a podcast.
	There must be some kind of cream against that.
	And the other thing, so he says, specifically due to John's attempt to pull Adam's head out of the pipeline conspiracy, this is actually the reason People should be supporting the show because...
	Why?
	Because we balance each other out.
	And you get like these single guys, you know, one voice on the show, and they go nuts.
	And they all do it.
	Every single one of them.
	That's the funny thing we should mention to people.
	The model for talk radio has changed over the years.
	You still find the old-fashioned talk radio guys.
	They're rare.
	I mean, Leo Laporte used to be one of them.
	And he's actually, when he does his talk radio computer show for KFI or wherever it is now, he has gravitated to the new style.
	The new style is epitomized by Rush Limbaugh.
	And it's bad.
	It is a bad model.
	And this is why...
	You have to talk a lot.
	But Twit is very popular because it's a conversation amongst people.
	And this program, this icky, disease-sounding thing podcast, is a conversation between two guys who just want to outdo each other on stuff and make each other laugh, and I just want to get some daddy love from you, but that's a different issue.
	And you're right, the model of going to a guy who then takes phone calls is broken.
	And the only reason why it works, John, is because everybody wants to get on the radio.
	So it's great for ratings, bad for content.
	You have to imagine, I don't know how some of these guys do it.
	Sean Hannity, he's on the radio for three hours a day, then he does an hour of television every day.
	And when he's on the radio, I would say at least 70% of the time spent is just him talking.
	Bull crap.
	Bullcrap.
	Non-stop.
	Filling time.
	Filling time.
	He rarely takes calls and rarely has guests.
	He just yak, yak, yak, yak, yak.
	But besides that, there is a balance which is really, really important.
	And you, my friend, are actually a very...
	And this is why I covet you so.
	You are a very...
	Not as in coveting my neighbor's wife.
	You're a very important balance.
	This is why when you're not on Twit, the show sucks.
	I just got to say it.
	When you're on, it's great because there's balance.
	And sometimes I balance you out.
	You know, it all works.
	But that's what you should be supporting.
	So to have only one person recognize that, and he puts it in a weird verbiage, but to have only one person recognize that is the beauty of this show is disappointing.
	But that's just because people are programmed into the whole...
	Yeah, well, I've had, and I'm sure you have from your fans, every once in a while somebody says, I think you should get rid of Curry.
	No, they never say...
	So I should sit here and yak away about whatever I think and that's that?
	Who would listen to that?
	Anyone who would listen to that, I wouldn't want to know them.
	You know what my fans say to me?
	You should get rid of Curry!
	Curry does more work than I do.
	It's not about the amount of work.
	It really isn't.
	Okay, you're right.
	I probably try to do as much.
	Yeah, but it's not...
	Which beside the point, no, that's the idea of the show, and it's the reason I... The DH Unplugged is very similar.
	It's, you know, you try to balance things off through conversation.
	That, I have to say, I disagree with.
	I like the show, but the chemistry of that is...
	It's a different show.
	It's not as balanced as this show.
	It's a good show.
	It's very informative.
	But it's different.
	Well, that's because we have on the other show...
	We have two opinionated guys who essentially base our show on the business itself, and we become a meta show.
	The other show is closer to an expert and an amateur working together.
	Pro-am.
	A pro-am working together, yeah, because they do write about it.
	But it's an expert, a guy who works it, and a guy who kind of writes about it, and it's a completely different balance.
	There's no doubt about it, but it's still conversational.
	Yeah.
	Which I think is one of the attractions to this type of show.
	You get, you know, you get...
	Screw it.
	There's also a kind of magic that you only find once every two decades.
	Whatever the case is, it's a fact that we don't, you know...
	It's a fact.
	We did lousy.
	It's a fact.
	It's a fact.
	All right.
	And our second executive producer, as we move on...
	Oh, wait.
	Do we have to do a MILF call-out or something and a karma shot for him, or what do we have to do?
	What's he asking for?
	He wanted a MILF karma.
	A MILF karma.
	Okay, we'll do that.
	That's one mother.
	I like this.
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	And then Oracle Broadcasting helped us out with $200 and became associate executive producers.
	That's very fun.
	They're Round Rock, which is near the...
	Where's Round Rock?
	Round Rock is about 30 minutes.
	Everything's nine miles from here, basically.
	Nine miles.
	And it's beautiful there, Round Rock.
	We actually looked at some property.
	Oh.
	Yeah, well, I'd love to build a house.
	Oh, man.
	There's a relationship.
	A small one, but I'd love to build a house.
	Build a big house.
	You're in Texas, for God's sake.
	But I don't got to build a big house moolah, my friend.
	Don't have that.
	Leverage.
	Leverage.
	Leverage, yeah.
	Would you...
	Can I mortgage my iPad one?
	Shit.
	Well, thank you so much to both Oracle Broadcasting and to Sir Seelock for contributing.
	Of course, you will be...
	Are they both execs here?
	No, no, no.
	Sir Rob is associate executive producer.
	No, no.
	Rob becomes executive producer.
	I'm sorry.
	Oracle becomes associate executive producer.
	That's...
	Highly appreciated.
	These are real credits, and you too can be listed on IMDB, just like that guy who did the Coney 2012 movie.
	So you can have the same level of credits.
	We can't promise you that Clooney will be tweeting you anytime, but you're on the same level, and it's a real official credit, and unlike the phonies in Hollywood, we will vouch for you.
	On the PR front, a couple of domain name forwards and noagendashow.com, all in the drone domain.
	We want to thank Eve for sending us DjiboutiDrones.com.
	We are sweeping up the drone registrations here.
	And someone's going to wake up one day and they're going to say, Hey man, we got this outfit.
	We're called Djibouti Drones LLC. We'd like to buy that.
	Djibouti.
	Djibouti Drones.
	Djibouti Drones.
	We'd like to buy that from you.
	Then we also have Sean who says, look, I've pointed this domain to NoAgendaShow.com, but I can see a number of uses for DroneOn.net.
	One, it could be a trademark of the Curry-Dvorak Droning Company.
	DroneOn could be our slogan.
	It could be what the audience yells when the drone is released in our game show, Win, Lose, or Drone.
	It's like, are you ready, audience?
	Yeah!
	DroneOn!
	That could work.
	And it could be used when discussing Hannity or O'Reilly since they do seem to drone on and on.
	So that's good.
	But the best, and I actually went out and registered a domain name for this because I thought the video was so funny.
	And it doesn't make any sense for me to play the audio because you have to see the video.
	I registered idroneapp.com.
	Oh, yes.
	And one of our producers put together a fabulous, fabulous video of the No Agenda software creation iDrone.
	And it is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
	It's really a piece of work.
	And so he basically mocked up an iPhone app, and it looks so good.
	Let's go get some money for it and produce it.
	You don't need to produce it.
	We should do a Kickstarter.
	Yeah.
	There's an idea.
	One million dollars to create the iDrone app.
	I love the...
	Screw it.
	Let me just...
	The audio...
	Actually, he has a very dry English accent, which made it kind of funny.
	And just listen to...
	Listen to this for a second.
	Hold on.
	It's worth it.
	It's only a minute.
	It's the perfect length for a commercial.
	I'm playing it now from iDroneApp.com.
	Here at Noagenda Software, we understand that running a nation-state can be tough.
	That's why we created iDrone.
	iDrone allows mid-level government employees, such as prime ministers and presidents, to manage their own droning activities safely and conveniently.
	Naturally, security is important, so each user has their own login and password.
	I love the Obama 2.
	And then it's like, who would you like to drone?
	And there's like options, terrorists, enemy combatants, or belligerents.
	And it's only allowed to drone certain classes of target.
	And the next screen is, what style of droning do you require?
	Freak accident, two to the head, natural disaster, cozy chat, or lawful and just?
	iDrone is fully customizable with a range of droning styles and media coverage styles.
	And what kind of media coverage do you want?
	Fair and balanced, conspiracy theorists, back channels, or movie tie-in.
	All customized to your specific rules of engagement.
	Target selection is easy, and alerts prevent you from committing an accidental droning.
	And this is my favorite.
	Once the action's started, you can sit back and monitor the situation with a handy in-flight video.
	A handy in-flight video.
	Ah, we love that.
	That's the kind of stuff that should go viral, not that Kony 2012 crap.
	In fact, you should create a Kony 2012 YouTube video and upload this.
	Exactly.
	That's the kind of stuff we need.
	So thank you again, everybody, for participating and supporting the program.
	We could do with a lot more because this was a low end for the week, but we're going to try it again next show, of course, and you can always go out and propagate our very important formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Real.
	World.
	Order.
	Come on, everybody.
	Come on.
	Shut up, slave!
	And we want to remind people they go to Dvorak.org slash NA, channel Dvorak.com slash NA. You can go to the NoAgendaShow.com and hit the Donate button, or you can go to NoAgendaNation.com, and there's a Donate button there, too.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Squirrel!
	Meanwhile, talking about droning.
	Back at the ranch.
	You know, so Eric Holder goes to Northwestern Law School.
	Do we have the same clip?
	Probably not.
	I took a clip.
	I mean, the clip, you could have played his whole speech and all he talked about was killing people.
	First of all, it was so poor.
	It was teleprompter.
	And the guy can't read.
	And he can barely read.
	But he got a standing ovation from these shameless students at Northwestern when he walked out.
	I wonder what they felt like after he told them they were all liable to be killed by him.
	By a drone.
	Or by a drone.
	But I took, there's about five or six possible clips I could take.
	I took the one from Democracy Now!
	where it was semi-summarized by the woman there, whatever, I can't remember her name for some reason.
	And it was done, and she...
	Mary Jo Bianofuco.
	These people, all the progressives that do progressive news, are beside themselves with, they don't know what to make of this.
	It's just driving them crazy.
	Yeah, like the fact that you can get droned anywhere.
	Yeah.
	They don't get it.
	Alright, I pulled a different clip, I'm sure, but let's listen to it.
	This is a compilation clip from Democracy.
	It's her summarizing, followed by part of the Holder commentary.
	He went on and I couldn't put a...
	I got the The War and Peace Report, I'm Amy Goodman.
	The Obama administration has offered its most expansive defense to date of its policy authorizing the assassination of U.S. citizens abroad.
	In a speech at Chicago's Northwestern University, Attorney General Eric Holder outlined what the White House billed as the legal rationale for its claimed right to kill U.S. citizens who belong to Al-Qaeda or associated forces.
	Holder said it's preferable to capture suspected terrorists when possible, but claimed the government also reserves the right to use lethal force.
	Specifically, Holder said the U.S. can target those who play an operational role in attacks that pose an imminent threat.
	We must also recognize that there are instances where our government has the clear authority, and I would argue the responsibility, to defend the United States through the appropriate and lawful use of lethal force.
	This principle has long been established under both U.S. and international law.
	In response to the attacks perpetrated and the continuing threat posed by al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and associated forces, Congress has authorized the President to use all necessary and appropriate force against those groups.
	Because the United States is in an armed conflict, we are authorized to take action against enemy belligerents under international law.
	The Constitution empowers the president to protect the nation from any imminent threat of violent attack.
	And international law recognizes the inherent right of national self-defense.
	None of this is changed by the fact that we are not in a conventional war.
	Yeah.
	International law.
	Now all of a sudden that overrides the Constitution.
	Yeah, now all of a sudden we're all international law oriented.
	But what international law is he talking about?
	Well, I have a clip about that too, but I'd like to play you my clip.
	Because, of course, we're looking for the real legal ramification around this.
	How can you drone a U.S. citizen anywhere in the world without due process?
	Yeah, this is good.
	This is the due process.
	Yeah, this is the due process.
	Do you have that one?
	No.
	The anticipated collateral damage must not be excessive in relation to the anticipated military advantage.
	By the way, excessive is just a couple kids.
	It's okay if a couple kids get killed in the droning.
	If it's like a hundred, that might be excessive.
	And finally, the principle of humanity requires us to use weapons that will not inflict unnecessary suffering.
	You know, like, it's over with quickly.
	These principles do not forbid the use of stealth or technologically advanced weapons.
	I love it.
	Do not forbid the use of stealth.
	Okay.
	In fact, the use of advanced weapons may help to ensure that the best intelligence is available for planning and carrying out operations.
	This is beautiful how it's all turned around.
	We have to do it without a lot of collateral damage, so stealth weapons are actually tailor-made to fit our constitutional right under international law to kill Americans.
	And the risk of civilian casualties can be minimized or avoided altogether.
	Whoa.
	Some have argued that the president is required to get permission from a federal court before taking action against a United States citizen who is a senior operational leader of al-Qaeda or associated forces.
	This is simply not accurate.
	Due process and judicial process are not one and the same.
	A legal technicality hidden for 200 plus years in the Constitution.
	Due process is not the same as judicial process.
	This was the gimmick they came up with.
	This is what the...
	And he explains it again.
	How does this go?
	How do you not take this to the next level at some point in time?
	In other words, you start just shooting mobsters.
	You just develop a hit list of American citizens you don't like.
	Or journalists.
	And you say that they're belligerents or they're a threat to the security of the country because they're running a prostitution ring.
	And you know who they are.
	There's no you don't need judicial process to actually prove that these people are doing anything illegal.
	You just shoot them.
	And so essentially we've created a assassination squad.
	We've created a death squad in the United States.
	And now they're rationalizing it and making it worse.
	What is the definition of due process?
	I have it here.
	I will consult the...
	Due process is the legal requirement that the state must respect all of the legal rights that are owed to a person.
	Due process balances the power of law of the land, which is sometimes befuddled with the Constitution, and protects individual persons from it.
	When a government harms a person without following the exact course of the law, this constitutes a due process violation, which offends against the rule of law.
	Right.
	Now, what is the difference between due...
	Well, he actually explains it.
	Let's listen to his follow-up on this.
	Particularly when it comes to national security.
	The Constitution guarantees due process.
	It does not guarantee judicial process.
	Oh my God!
	Am I in a movie?
	Am I in a freaking science fiction film?
	I would like to know why there is not outrage in Congress over this.
	There's outrage here?
	In Austin?
	There's no, except for Ron Paul, all the rest of these guys have got their thumbs up their butts going, oh, whatever.
	This is such an outrage.
	To say that due process is not the same.
	And during, by the way, it was after this speech, I believe, is when Obama gave his press conference and not one member of the media brought this up.
	They went on about contraception and other, they gave him a little thing about, you know, this minor little questions they thought they were giving him the needle about.
	Yeah, we got reports on the news about the porn industry moving.
	It's all very important stuff, of course.
	Yeah, this is such an outrage.
	And to get to your international law question, wow, did you see Panetta and Dempsey?
	No, I didn't.
	I missed that.
	Oh, I watched a lot of C-SPAN. This is a long clip, so we'll stop it.
	We can stop it at any time, because the Sessions is asking the question.
	And I'll just set it up for you.
	This is about Syria.
	They had two and a half hours on Syria.
	And I watched it, I recorded it, I went over it again.
	And when this came up, I just went, oh my God.
	Let me just set it up by saying, who or what body or who has the constitutional right to send American troops to war?
	To a theater of war, to go anywhere and fight anybody for any reason.
	Who or what has that constitutional right as the sole body?
	Well, they're going to argue the president, but in fact, the Constitution says it's Congress.
	Congress.
	So you have to have an act of war, a declaration of war, signed by Congress.
	Now, under the War Powers Act, and we've been over this with Libya, the president has 60 days under the Constitution and under the amended bull crap they put in there, the War Powers Resolution, which I believe is unconstitutional by itself.
	The president has 60 days to defend the country.
	So, we don't have time.
	It's so horrible.
	Syria is going to kill Americans.
	Let's go in there.
	I've got 60 days to then go convince everybody.
	So this question comes up, and Sessions, I guess he's a Republican, he starts off by posing the question to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Dempsey, and then Panetta, with his droopy, town dog eyebrow look, just says the most outrageous things.
	And there's a nice little blood and treasure in here as well.
	Check it out.
	Dempsey, you...
	In one of your criteria for determining what we might do militarily, you say you have to ask the question whether the action is worth the cost and is consistent with law.
	What law does the United States military look to?
	Now, what law would that be?
	That would be Congress and maybe the President under extreme circumstances.
	Yeah, if I could, since I'd like to address both because they are related.
	So cost, resources, risk incurred elsewhere by the use of force one other place.
	So, you know, it's a zero-sum game.
	I love that.
	Say, we can just move our guys over there and kill some people there.
	Are they brown?
	They live in the desert?
	We can kill them?
	Zero-sum game!
	Take them from someplace else, we use them for how long, and that's the kind of issue of cost.
	And, of course, in blood and treasure.
	Blood and treasure!
	That means it's good.
	Remember, blood and treasure is something valuable.
	It's something we have to fight for.
	It's neuro-linguistic programming to make you feel good about it.
	The issue of legal basis is important, though.
	Again, we act, with the authorized use of military force, either at the consent of a government, so we're invited in, So any government apparently can just call us.
	Hey, you guys, can you come in?
	Hey, hello, it's B.B. over here.
	What are you doing Tuesday?
	Can you pencil me in for some dronage over Damascus?
	I need you guys.
	Or, out of national self-defense, and there's a very clear criteria for that, And then the last one is with some kind of international legal basis.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	I love that.
	Wait a minute.
	Whoa, Nellie!
	I'm from Sessions!
	Let's talk about an international legal basis.
	You answer, under the Constitution, to the United States government, do you not?
	And you don't need any international support before you would carry out a military operation authorized by the commander.
	No, of course not.
	That's the second one.
	I just want to know that because...
	He's going to turn it around now.
	Very crafty.
	Because there's a lot of references in here.
	To international matters before we make a decision.
	And I want to be sure the United States military understands, and I know you do, that we're not dependent on a NATO resolution or a UN resolution to execute policies consistent with the national security of the United States.
	Now here comes Panetta.
	Now, Secretary Pennelly, in your talk, in your remarks, you talk about, first, we're working to increase diplomatic isolation and encouraging other countries to join the European we're working to increase diplomatic isolation and encouraging other countries to join the European Union and Arab And then you note that China and Russia have repeatedly blocked the UN Security Council from taking action.
	Are you saying, and is the President taking the position, he would not act, if it was in our interest to do so, if the UN Security Council did not agree?
	When it comes to the kind of military action where we want to build a coalition and work with our international partners, then obviously we would like to have some kind of legal basis on which to do it as we did in Libya.
	No.
	Wait, did we have a declaration of war from Congress for Libya, John?
	I don't think, I don't recall that.
	No, I think he was, no, he was actually, he wasn't, I don't think that's what he was implying.
	He specifically was talking about the UN. Well, listen.
	The UN gave us the go ahead.
	Right.
	Well, that's my whole point.
	But that is not a legal basis for war, and Sessions is not having any of it.
	Some sort of legal basis.
	We're worried about international legal basis, but nobody worried about the fundamental constitutional legal basis that this Congress has over war.
	We were not asked, stunningly, in direct violation of the War Powers Act, whether or not you believe its constitution, it certainly didn't comply with it.
	We spent our time worrying about the UN, the Arab League, NATO, and too little time, in my opinion, worrying about the elected representatives of the United States.
	Thank you.
	Do you think that you can act without Congress to initiate a no-fly zone in Syria?
	Now, this is a good question.
	Do you think you can act...
	By basically engaging in war, that's a no-fly zone, which means not only do you keep aircraft...
	And before you continue the clip, I want you to interrupt the clip by playing the McCain wants airstrikes clip.
	Here we go.
	Providing military assistance to the Free Syrian Army and other opposition groups is necessary.
	But at this late hour, that alone will not be sufficient to stop the slaughter and save innocent lives.
	The only realistic way to do so is with foreign air power.
	Therefore...
	At the request of the Syrian National Council, the Free Syrian Army and local coordinating committees inside the country, the United States should lead an international effort to protect key population centers in Syria, especially in the north, through airstrikes on Assad's forces.
	This guy gets off on this crap, doesn't he?
	This guy is off the deep end.
	He just sits at home.
	I wish they would rub him out.
	They had the shot at voting him out this last time around, and they didn't do it.
	They should rub him out.
	This is bad.
	All right, so here's Panetta's answer.
	Well, of course, that's all you need, right?
	You only need a foreign government to just say, hey, can you guys make it on Tuesday for that no-fly zone, which also means taking out the anti-air defenses.
	Here's Panetta's answer.
	Without congressional approval.
	You know, again, our goal would be to seek international permission, and we would come to the Congress and inform you.
	Hey, we got an appointment on Tuesday.
	Just want to let you know, so there's no conflict.
	We're going to kill some people.
	We're just letting you know.
	We're not asking you for permission.
	We're just letting you know.
	And determine how best to approach this, whether or not we would want to get permission from the Congress.
	I think those are issues we would have to discuss as we decide what to do here.
	We'll have a meeting.
	It just goes on and on, John.
	Yeah, they're basically telling the Congress that they're going to screw themselves.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'm almost breathless about that.
	Because what I heard you say is, we're going to seek international approval, and they will come and tell the Congress what we might do, and we might seek congressional approval.
	That's what I heard.
	I want to just say to you, that's a big dish.
	Wouldn't you agree you served in the Congress?
	Yeah.
	Wouldn't you agree that that's...
	Would be pretty breathtaking to the average American, so would you like...
	No, the average American is not thinking about that.
	The average American is not watching C-SPAN, is not exposed to this information.
	The average American doesn't even care about droning Americans.
	Yeah, why would we care about some sand bunnies?
	So, I'll just get off this.
	I think everyone gets the point.
	Where is the outrage?
	Where's Anderson Pooper standing up and yelling and shouting that this can't be?
	This is horrible.
	This is anti-constitutional.
	I expect Fareed Zakaria to come on and say, this is great.
	This is exactly the way it should work.
	We need to be an international coalition.
	We're the international partners.
	That's right.
	Pencil me in for Tuesday.
	I'll go drone somebody.
	It's crazy.
	Why I do declare, Mr.
	Sessions, is that gave me the vapors when I heard that.
	So, remember your friend Danny in Syria?
	Good old Danny.
	Danny, who was sending off those reports to Anderson Pooper and CNN. Danny.
	Danny.
	So, Danny got busted.
	Did you see the videos of him getting busted?
	Oh, he finally got busted.
	No, I missed that.
	Yeah, so he's on the phone for like 20 minutes, because you don't just like, it's not like, stand by to go to Danny Live!
	He's standing there, and he's waiting for 20 minutes, and he's literally giving commands.
	He's like, okay, when I say shoot, then I want you to, we've got to have gunfire.
	And this is taped.
	And of course, I only can believe the translation, because I don't know if that's exactly what he said, but it sure seems like no one's refuting this.
	But we knew it was rigged.
	So, this happens on Monday, this video comes out.
	Everyone's like, oh my god, this guy's a total shill.
	I'm like, yeah, duh.
	But it's totally wag the dog.
	The guy's like directing on the ground.
	Hey man, make sure we have some gunfire, because it has to sound really good when I'm on with Anderson.
	And then all of a sudden, Wednesday, the guy, and it's impossible to get in and out of Syria, the guy is in the studio with Anderson Pooper.
	And Anderson is refuting this whole thing.
	Do doth protesteth too much, I thinketh.
	Listen to this.
	And his Syrian state television, as you know, is now airing excerpts of this video of you that was shot.
	I'm not sure how they got this video.
	Do you know how they got it?
	Did they intercept it?
	While I was trying to talk to CNN, I was online for like 20 minutes.
	So it's live broadcast.
	I don't know how they got it.
	This is all private.
	This has all been deleted.
	We have to delete all this stuff.
	I mean, that's incriminating right there.
	Yeah, he just admitted to it.
	He just basically admitted the whole thing's a scam.
	And he took my private stuff.
	Yeah, my stuff that, you know, you're not supposed to see that part, man.
	That crap.
	It's like taking the outtakes from Mission Impossible, man, with the green screen.
	You can't do that.
	I want to ask you some specifics.
	They say the truth of Danny the Zionist.
	That's the title of this, and it's obviously heavily edited.
	Unlike CNN. They say at one point, and I'm going to show this, they say that you were saying, get the target ready to shoot.
	And by the way, he...
	Anderson never mentions the gunfire part.
	They never talk about that in the interview.
	That's the real damning evidence, which he edits out.
	No, no, shoot it like I'm telling you.
	Let's take a look.
	So now they show a little bit of this video.
	Which is totally useless B-roll, but okay, I left it in.
	Here we go.
	Back to Anderson.
	Let's just simply get some answers.
	And then the banner in Arabic says, notice the sound of an explosion after he gave the order.
	They're making it seem like you were fabricating the sound of explosions.
	Yes, okay.
	If you exactly watch that, it was about six minutes I was talking to you actually, I was saying in that time.
	There was no shooting going on at the time.
	So if I was telling him to shoot so I can make it look like there's a war going on, there would be shooting on the back sound while I was talking to you.
	They said the sound of the bang there was the sound of you guys faking a shot.
	That was a long way ago.
	Even at the time, the area I was sitting in wasn't even being hit.
	They were hitting another area.
	As I told you, it was called Khaldi.
	It's about 15 kilometers away from where I am.
	I want to play another part of this, of their tape.
	Again, not the relevant part.
	Your cameraman is saying, say there that shells fell and we are pulling bodies.
	Let's take a look.
	Yeah, that's exactly what he said.
	The banner there says even the cameraman is lying.
	What was happening there?
	Look, as any journalist works, as anyone who's trying to work, isn't just me, all the reporters inside, they tell us, you have to say this, this is actually what's going on.
	I don't know everything that's going on in there.
	Yeah, he's just taking orders from his handler.
	He's admitting this on camera.
	It is unbelievable.
	They get the information, how many people have been killed.
	I'm not really a reporter.
	They remind me, don't forget to say this.
	Tell them we have people dead, people underneath the destruction, so I don't forget.
	He said, don't forget my lines.
	It's the script, girl.
	Tell me we have people dead, people under the rubble.
	Okay, people dead, people under the rubble.
	Okay, I got it.
	Let's go live.
	You also say that you basically have been paid by CNN. That's categorically untrue.
	Just for the record, have you ever worked for CNN? Have you ever received any money from CNN? I have not received one penny for CNN. Well, then you're an idiot.
	Yeah, really.
	You're an idiot.
	Whoop that pooper upside the head and take some of his wallet.
	This is no good.
	You're not getting paid for acting?
	Come on, is this not a SAG gig?
	I mean, you should protest to the union.
	You've been very upfront of the fact that you went there to join the Free Syrian Army, that you wanted to join, so you're not pretending to be an impartial journalist.
	No, I'm not impartial.
	I mean, come on!
	Come on!
	And meanwhile, the guy's in the studio.
	He got out?
	He'll get back in?
	Yeah, I know.
	We've pointed this out before with the list of reporters that are already there and all the French reporters that have gone and done all kinds of stuff and nobody pays any attention to it.
	This is ridiculously...
	This is the most skewed...
	We're at the point now where it's like...
	Wag the dog.
	It's wag the dog.
	By the way, I find it very disturbing...
	That for those of you who listen to the No Agenda Producer update, this guy Danny sounds exactly like Mr.
	Oil.
	I'm just saying.
	He fell on the sword then.
	That's a good job there, Mr.
	Oil.
	But this to me is just like, wow, really?
	Just staying on Syria, the Chiners pulled out their people.
	So, you know, Anderson Pooper can't get in.
	And, of course, I'd love to see Anderson there.
	I want him there.
	I want him in the war zone.
	And he went to Tahrir Square when it was all safe and everything, but now he's like, oh, I'm not going to go there.
	I'm a Vanderbilt, gosh darn it.
	The Chiners apparently had $17 billion worth of projects.
	Yeah, hello.
	Hello.
	That's pretty big, right?
	Yeah, that's something.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, at some point the Chinese are going to get a little irked by all this and do something to screw us.
	There was one other funny thing that came out of the Dempsey Panetta thing.
	I'll just play and you tell me if you think there's anything to it.
	This is Cornyn, I think, asking the question, Republican from Texas.
	...to the Department of Defense's business transactions with this same firm I mentioned to earlier, Rosoboron Export, that is engaged in military sales of Russian weapons to Assad's regime.
	Reportedly, this company has signed a deal with the Syrian government to sell it 36 combat jets capable of hitting civilian ground targets.
	Can you confirm that?
	I can't.
	I'd have to look into that.
	Well, I don't mean to blindside you.
	I'll certainly share with you this article and I'd be interested in following up in greater detail.
	The Rosenborn export was sanctioned by the United States in October 2008 for assisting Iran's nuclear program, but those sanctions were lifted by the Department of State in May of 2010.
	This is what I wanted to get to.
	It's my understanding that the Department of Defense, through an initiative led by the U.S. Army, is currently buying dual-use Mi-17 helicopters for the Afghan military from this very same company.
	I'd like to know whether either one of you can confirm that at this point.
	No, but I can certainly take that for the record.
	I can confirm we are buying MI-17s for the Afghan military, but I can't confirm that that's the corporation providing them.
	If you're the guy buying helicopters, I've bought a helicopter or two in my day.
	You know who you're buying it from!
	They buy it from the used helicopter store.
	You're telling me that we're buying our helicopters from the same guys who are supplying arms to the Syrians?
	I mean, there's a lot more going on.
	Something you don't really want to discuss.
	The MI-17 is a Russian chopper.
	Yes.
	So you don't want us to go on and say, why American companies?
	How about a McDonnell Douglas?
	Yeah, how about one of our own choppers, but apparently I guess the Afghans have been using Russian...
	I guess they captured a bunch of them after they rousted the Russians.
	I don't know.
	Whatever the case is, this is a Russian piece of equipment, and now we're buying them to give to the Afghan army?
	Yeah.
	This is scandalous.
	Oh, yeah.
	And you will see that tonight on the PBS NewsHour, I'm sure.
	Oh, yeah, sure.
	I sure will be right there.
	So they got a $1 billion contract with the U.S. Department of Defense signed May 26, 2011.
	The U.S. signed a no-bid, fixed-price, foreign sales contract worth $375 million, thank you, love, to purchase the MI series of rotocrafts and spare parts, which, believe me, Russian helicopters, you need a whole bucket of spare parts.
	With estimated completion date...
	They buy an extra chopper for the parts chopper.
	Yeah, well, the pieces fly off all the time.
	The contract comes with an option for $550 million in additional purchases, raising the total to nearly $1 billion.
	Public contract records show ongoing business between the U.S. Army and Rosa Boron Export, with a transaction as recent as November 3, 2011.
	This is just some sort of corruption.
	That's the only rationale for this.
	Well, I think it does play into the whole Syria thing.
	It's not just oil and gas.
	There's a lot of money in arms.
	I mean, a billion dollars is nothing to sneeze at.
	Nothing to sneeze at.
	I'm looking at the Mi-17.
	The Mexican Navy uses it.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's certainly nothing we would want to have.
	You don't really want to fly the...
	I've been on an Aeroflot.
	I can't remember.
	Yeah, I've flown on an Aeroflot, too.
	And it was a Russian-built plane.
	It had the four engines stuck on the tail.
	It was a weird thing.
	That makes your landing better when you're Polish.
	I think it was an Iliac, an Iliac 42.
	I can't remember the name of it.
	I mean, it was an Iliac something.
	And everything in the thing, the bolts were all oversized.
	And I understand it had a tube radio.
	Yeah.
	There's nothing wrong with that.
	There's nothing wrong with tube radios.
	No, they work fine.
	I don't know about how they perform after being shook up in a turbulence.
	Perfectly fine.
	We just push them back in.
	It's an uncomfortable plane.
	Hey, Comrade John, push the tube back in the socket so I can contact the radio.
	I was given a whole lecture on what to expect.
	And a couple of things, just anecdotal.
	For one thing, the flight back, because of all the Russian stewardesses, they're out of London.
	Do they have beards?
	No.
	They look like the Model Express from Playboy magazine.
	Oh, right.
	There you go.
	And they're all dolled up to the max, because when they go to, apparently, the Russian planes, they land in London.
	The first thing that the girls do is they rush off to buy makeup.
	Yeah, this is 1989, John.
	So, anyway...
	They have Gucci in Moscow now.
	Yeah, now they do.
	This is just before the fall of communism, so it was a big deal.
	That's when I was there.
	But people warned me about this, and they already told me about it.
	I thought it was kind of funny.
	They recycle their plastic cups for the plane, so there's a big pile of these scratched-up old plastic cups that they pour from large jugs of juice into the Scratchable plastic thing in there.
	Some orange juice or apple juice?
	Some bug juice.
	It's hilarious.
	Anyway.
	One day I'll have to tell my story about Moscow in 1988 before I gloss noticed and everything.
	For a different day, perhaps.
	Yeah.
	Only one Russian story at a show.
	Yes.
	We can't overdo it.
	I totally agree.
	So, anyway, onward.
	Well, I mean, I got tons of stuff.
	What?
	Did you wrap your story?
	I didn't hear you finish.
	Well, I mean, so, on the, I mean, on Syria just in general, and what's going on in the whole region, I think we can see two main things happening.
	And I've opened up a new heading called Lost.
	Lost.
	The Law of the Sea Treaty.
	Because this is what it's coming down to.
	Now, we remember that Lucifer Clinton was all over this.
	This is a UN... This actually, I think, was...
	The whole deal was done in maybe the 50s, but then they tried to revive it again in the 80s.
	And a couple of countries have not ratified...
	The Lost Treaty, the Law of the Seas Treaty, Lost.
	One of them is Greece, unfortunately.
	And the idea is your EEZ, your economic zone, extends 200 miles out from your shore.
	And should there be less than 400 miles between shores, then the countries oppose it or that both claim rights have to essentially come to an agreement.
	This would apply to Cyprus, I would assume.
	Yes, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria.
	There's only 385 miles.
	So the question is, who owns the Leviathan fields, the gas fields?
	This is what a lot of this is going to come down to.
	I'll just give you a couple of the headlines as to what is happening.
	So Greece never ratified...
	And neither did the U.S., by the way.
	We don't ratify anything.
	We don't recognize the International Criminal Court, yet we're happy to send people to it as long as we don't recognize it so we can't go to it.
	Right.
	So they set up this ISA, the International Seabed Authority, interestingly enough, in Kingston, Jamaica.
	I'm not sure why it's located in Kingston.
	But that's where it is.
	And you can see all the countries that have signed up and have ratified.
	And people look over it.
	So it's the exclusive economic zone that is important.
	And there's a real problem between Greece and Turkey, obviously, because Turkey is saying, hey, you've got some of that Leviathan gas there in the Mediterranean, Hey, that's within our 200 mile EEZ, our exclusive economic zone.
	So, what happens...
	Just to be totally accurate, it's 200 nautical miles.
	Nautical miles.
	230 miles to the crow.
	Always there to point out the really important stuff, John.
	That's important if you're 30 miles away from it.
	Yeah, I agree.
	So, Greek Cyprus and France, remember France runs Total Oil, launched a search and rescue exercise, armed exercise, I might say, from the Greek Cypriot port of Limassol.
	After they signed an armed forces cooperation agreement.
	This happened on January 24th.
	So the French are now in Greek Cyprus saying, okay, we're good for you.
	Turkey is saying, we just might have to annex northern Cyprus.
	So we're going to see a big skirmish there as to who owns what.
	Then we have on our very own Capitol Hill, Jim Inhofe.
	Is that Senator Inhofe?
	I think so.
	Yeah, Imhoff.
	He is now calling for hearings for the ratification of the law of the Sea Treaty.
	So this is now starting to stir up in Congress, and I think you will see Lucifer Clinton involving herself in this one way or the other.
	I'm not quite sure what's more beneficial, but the way I understand the law, and I read the treaty, of course, is if there's less than 400 nautical miles between the shores, you have to work out a deal.
	Now, the only person who is good at working out a deal is Lucifer.
	She's the one that does that stuff.
	She knows how to run it.
	Yeah, she's going to have to do something.
	This map is a disaster in terms of...
	Who owns what?
	Cyprus is just right there within...
	Oh yeah, it's maybe 50 miles.
	So I think the real issue we're seeing here is Lebanon has arguably a legitimate claim.
	They did ratify the exclusive economic zone.
	They have a legitimate claim to the Leviathan oil.
	Now Lebanon, of course...
	I mean, if you're going to run Lebanon, you might as well run Syria.
	Because that's really what controls everything.
	So I think that's why we're seeing some of these movements.
	This Lebanon-Syria thing has been going on for a while.
	So this Leviathan thing has been well known for some time.
	It's just never discussed.
	Right.
	But this is why all of these things have been taking place.
	We had the France-Greece thing.
	That was January 24th.
	So, this all kind of starts to make sense that a lot of positioning is going on.
	By the way, I found out that Nobel Energy, Bill Clinton, is a registered lobbyist for them.
	Nice find.
	Yeah.
	Gee.
	How does that figure, huh?
	Lebanon.
	Speaker of...
	Let me see who said this.
	I'll have to figure it out.
	Um...
	Lebanon claims Israel's Leviathan gas field.
	There you go.
	That it spills over into Lebanese territory.
	Israel is ignoring this fact.
	And the two countries are disputing an area of around 850 square kilometers.
	So that's 1.8.
	So that's about that 460 that you're talking about.
	However, Cyprus and Israel, they worked out their lost agreement in December of 2010.
	So, I'm thinking that we'll see this Law of the Sea thing, which then gives the power, really, to the United Nations, which is where America wants it, so that they can resolve disputes and do all that, and then, hey, if you don't like it, we'll come in and drone you.
	Something like that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It makes sense.
	Unfortunately.
	Yeah, this Cyprus thing right in the middle of this is a fun map to look at.
	Ooh, wait a minute.
	I had something for that.
	You have a fun map.
	Unfortunately, it sounds like take a look at the math.
	Yes.
	No, it doesn't sound like that to me.
	It sounds good.
	If you find yourself saying, what's all this crap?
	Take a look at the map.
	It's catchy.
	It is catchy.
	It's catchy.
	And if you look at the map, if you go to just type in Cyprus and Google and then click on the maps so you can get a Google Earth map, especially a satellite version, you just blow it out a little bit so you can see what the situation is and you go, this is like, I don't think living on Cyprus would be much fun.
	No.
	It's no longer the holiday destination it used to be.
	Because you know these people are battling.
	Yeah.
	Let's close it out.
	I love it!
	That's a good one.
	That's a keeper.
	Yeah, it is kind of a keeper.
	So to change the topic a little bit to something lighter.
	Besides death and mayhem in the desert?
	Yeah, I was watching a rerun of Leno because I wanted to see Michelle Obama.
	I didn't see her the first time and I didn't realize that she's a horrible mom.
	LAUGHTER Wait a minute.
	Are you telling me that when we saw her during Halloween that that didn't tip you off that she's a horrible?
	You were all over it.
	Let's listen to her from Halloween just to make sure we remember.
	Come on up.
	You person rat.
	Sorry.
	It's been doctored.
	Yeah.
	No.
	No.
	No, no, no.
	Here's the original.
	Here it is.
	Yes, here's a little one.
	You come on up.
	You must have the precious.
	That's not doctored.
	Come on up.
	That's actual audio from the White House.
	So, just tell me that if you were, if this is normal for kids, the way that she's allowing them, well, play the Michelle clip and tell me what you think.
	Before this campaign, the girls seem to be adjusting well.
	You know, they're doing really well, and I think that's been one of the most surprising things about living in the White House.
	Probably one of the things I worried most about was whether we could have a normal life, more so for them than for us.
	But the people at the White House are amazing.
	The girls are good.
	They're normal.
	We always check in.
	They have a regular life.
	They've got friends and sleepovers.
	To them, it's home.
	So it's been truly a blessing for us.
	Now, I've read you're strict with the computer.
	No computer during the week.
	That's right.
	Well, they can earn one hour of computer or TV time if they've done everything during the week.
	They've got two hours on Friday, three on Saturday, two on Sunday.
	Just an hour during the week?
	I know.
	But they should be doing their homework.
	Really?
	So they should be doing their homework because we all know that anyone who's studied modern education or their homework is bullcrap and useless.
	And so essentially they're slave drivers in a kind of ironic sense.
	Yeah.
	With these kids who are leading a normal life and they're not on Facebook once in a while or they're downloading stuff or listening to music on the internet or using Google because they're allowed one hour a week if they do all their chores and homework.
	This is not a normal thing for kids today.
	But when I was a kid, I only got one hour of television a week because it was going to rock your brain.
	Well, that's the same here.
	They're only allowing one hour of television or computer, so they give us an option.
	But they were right because television did rock my brain.
	Oh yeah, television's bad, but this is not normal.
	No.
	So the kids are going to come out, they're not going to know anything.
	They're going to not know how to do a Google search.
	Seriously.
	Most people don't know how to do a Google search.
	How are they going to learn about porn?
	They're not going to know anything about porn.
	Obviously, they just want to keep them off the internet because they don't want to hear any bad stuff about their dad.
	Like the truth.
	That would be bad.
	Hey, dad, how come you're an a-hole?
	Yeah, how come you're killing Americans with drones?
	Yeah, what's up with that, dad?
	I want to thank Jesta, by the way, from jestamusic.com for putting that map jingle together.
	That was good.
	Yeah, that's pretty lame.
	And there's also the other thing that I want to just get out of the way before I go to the big donation segment, which won't last long anyway.
	It's a shorty today.
	Oops.
	Is...
	The open letter from the spook community.
	The intelligence community is really upset about this Iran thing.
	Yeah, they don't like it, do they?
	Not at all.
	Play the clip.
	In related news, eight retired U.S. military and intelligence officials have signed an open letter to President Obama urging him to say no to war with Iran.
	The letter was published as a full-page ad in the Washington Post Monday.
	Signatories included Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who served as former Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff and former CIA National Intelligence Officer Paul Pillar.
	Yeah.
	So they're coming out of the woodwork, as a matter of fact, to protest this saber rattling for obvious reasons.
	The whole thing is based on fraudulent information that apparently is important enough that all the intelligence agencies are complaining.
	None of the Republican candidates or anybody else paying any attention to any of this, and they're still threatening Iran, which is pushing them toward getting weird.
	This Iran thing, by the way, I think I've kind of got a big part of it figured out.
	It's not about nuclear weapons.
	We just don't want Iran to have nuclear power.
	I think at the end of the day, that's really what it is.
	Just no nuclear power.
	They've tried this before.
	Iran had a huge project in the late 60s, early 70s.
	They had all this Chinese technology coming in.
	They were going to go completely independent of oil.
	They were going to go completely nuclear power.
	And that, of course, begat Three Mile Island and the China Syndrome and the entire propaganda against nuclear power has been so successful that even I still question if it's safe, even though I'm pretty sure it is.
	Boy, what a wonderful world this would be without all that oil for energy.
	We still need oil for everything, but not for energy.
	It's been so successful.
	So I think now the equation nuclear energy equals nuclear bomb is just as damaging and just as big a part of the PR campaign, John.
	I think it's more important to them than anything.
	Well, it's definitely effective.
	It's certainly working.
	Very effective.
	Well, if the Nuclear Power Energy wants to sponsor our show, we'll shill for them, won't we?
	In a heartbeat, I tell ya.
	They could just make a donation as the Hot Rod Association.
	You know, Hot Pockets.
	Yeah, Hot Pockets.
	No one would have to know.
	Part of Geek Media.
	What?
	Sean Palladino in Cinnamonson, New Jersey, $128, saying...
	The karma did not get me a new job.
	It gave me the pleasure of my first girlfriend.
	Really?
	And a huge bump in hours at the Taco Bell.
	Well, I'd say that's...
	What more do you want?
	If he works at the Taco Bell and can give us $128, people should take notice.
	And if he's getting laid and working at Taco Bell.
	And he's getting laid because of the karma.
	Come on.
	Hello, everybody.
	Working at the Taco Bell and getting laid is, like, amazing.
	It's the American dream.
	With the promise of being an executive producer with a nice $256 donation on my birthday show on March 29th, I'm turning 21.
	I plan on donating drunk in the future.
	You can take that to the bank literally.
	To bring back a favorite slogan of mine, could I get a Hey Citizen, the science is in.
	I don't know if we can do this combination.
	Yeah.
	De-douching karma.
	Hey Citizen, science is in.
	Let me just see if I have the...
	Yeah, I got it.
	Hey Citizen, de-douching, science is in.
	Yeah, karma.
	Okay, here we go.
	Hey, citizen.
	The science is ending!
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	I don't want to say anything.
	But I nailed it.
	Yeah, I think you did.
	It's going to be his ringtone, he says.
	Good luck with that.
	And for a fellow donator wondering how to get a custom ringtone on the iPhone, Ars Technica had a fantastic article recently describing how to do it for free.
	You know, can I just say something?
	People, it was a joke.
	It was like, it's real easy to get a ringtone on the iPhone.
	Like, hey, don't care.
	I don't care.
	B, duh!
	It was just making a point.
	Okay, Dame Astrid, meanwhile, in Tokyo, came in with a flirtatious letter aimed at you.
	Well, you know, me and the dame, we'd be hanging.
	A hundred bucks, your show is definitely the best in the universe, but today, that whoop-em-ron rap was so good, I had to restrain myself from hitting the donate button to the rhythm.
	That would have been interesting.
	Yeah, that would have been cool.
	$5,000!
	Actually, I hit the donation button so fast I forgot to put a note in the bottom of my PayPal, which essentially she didn't.
	Well, we got it in there somehow.
	So, Dame Astrid, you should come to the Camp Mofo sleepover.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Yeah, we got Miss Molly here, Miss Mickey.
	Dame Astrid would complete the set.
	And...
	Boutilier.
	That would be it.
	Hesperia, California.
	$100 without a comment.
	Brian Pollack in Overland, Missouri.
	Uh-oh.
	Here we go.
	We're on it again.
	$69.96.
	Oh, he has $69.96.
	Oh, it's power drill.
	So he missed it.
	So it looks like maybe this week will be the last.
	we may end the streak special love palindrome donation to get some karma for my wife who was a job interview this week and it's her first in 20 plus years so give her a milf karma from the best podcast in the multiverse milf that's one mother i like this you've got karma uh-oh Evgeny Kovalev in New York, New York, 69-69.
	The streak continues.
	69-69.
	Karma for those in need.
	Adam and John, keep up the great work.
	Just throw out a karma.
	You've got karma.
	That was close.
	We almost lost the streak.
	It was the last minute he came in.
	Boy, I lay awake at night about these things.
	Yeah, well...
	Worries me sick.
	Sir Oleg Racatini in Richmond Hill, Ontario, 5555, have passed technical interview for a new job.
	I need karma to negotiate a six-figure salary.
	Hey, now.
	Keep up the good work.
	Well, and you're asking for super karma there, but you never know.
	I hope it works for you.
	You've got karma.
	Six figures.
	Yeah, six figures is good.
	Scott McLaughlin, Fort Riley, Kansas, 5555.
	Curtis Stevenson in Tarragal, New South Wales, 5555.
	50 double niggles on the dime.
	Hey, citizens John and Adam, enjoying the show from Gitmo Nation Down Under.
	Please accept a small donation as a sign of gratitude for all the valuable lessons and insight you have shown me.
	Please thoroughly de-douche me for taking so long to donate and send out a huntsman karma shot for my smoking hot girlfriend who started her new job as a registered nurse this week.
	And he sent some domains I think you may or may not have mentioned so far.
	Yeah, no, we've been working on it.
	He sent me ArabGaspipeline.com and SyrianGaspipeline.com, and I'm working on putting some maps up there.
	So let's get a Huntsman Karma.
	He doesn't understand this situation.
	You've got karma.
	I do find myself just saying that sometimes around the house.
	Yeah, you're getting it.
	You're getting closer.
	David Trotsky, Romeoville, Illinois, double-niggles on the dime shot at karma for his youngest daughter, Risa.
	She's a freshman taking her SATs this Saturday as part of her application to the Illinois Math and Science Academy.
	You've got karma.
	Also, Sean Lake in Union, New Jersey, 5445, former Seton Hall student and No Agenda donor Jeremy Slate mentioned that I turned him onto the show, but as Adam noted, I had not donated, so I needed de-douching plus a karma.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Cal L in Niles, Illinois, 5115, long-time boner, first-time donor, need a thorough dedouching of some hay citizen karma for the job that I'll begin the interviewing process for by the time this is read.
	It's with a fruit-named company that I'm already employed with, Apple, and the opportunity to make my career Apple.
	If all goes well, you can expect more donations.
	Yeah, I would think if you're working for Apple.
	Don't send me an iPad, though.
	Don't send water, blankets, or iPads.
	No, send your cash.
	De-douche, hey citizen, here we go.
	You've been de-douched.
	Hey citizen.
	You've got karma.
	William Smock, or Smock, Smock!
	I don't know how many people will get that reference.
	San Diego, California, 50-50.
	My wife Carrie has started listening to No Agenda on her own.
	I guess she's not like the other wife we referred to earlier who hates the show.
	How about some karma for her as a realtor in San Diego at NavigateYourWayHome.com?
	Thanks.
	Absolutely.
	Well, welcome aboard.
	Always nice to have another female listener.
	You've got karma.
	Karma for you, Carrie.
	Karma for Carrie.
	Karma for Carrie.
	Geert van Treep.
	Okay, let's do that again.
	Geert?
	No.
	Geert van Treep.
	Geert van Treep.
	Perfect.
	$50.
	Bill Hasbrook.
	In Lake Oswego, Oregon.
	$50.
	This is a de-douching and some karma.
	Enough said.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Scott Razipka, Villa Park, Illinois, $50.
	Usually donate to call my buddy Parth as a douchebag.
	But today's his birthday, so all I need is a birthday shout-out for him.
	Thanks for the quality show you guys put on.
	Week in and week out, indeed.
	Thank you.
	We try hard.
	The Goose Hung High from Framingham, Massachusetts, $50.
	And finally, Greg Riddell in St.
	Peter's, Missouri, $50.
	And that ends our donation segment for show 389...
	What's the note I have here, Sir Oscar Nadal?
	Yeah, we do have some other stuff to read, I guess.
	Well, but I don't have a donation amount for him.
	I think this is something that came in or came into the mail or whatever the case is.
	The pre-Karma call works.
	I told myself if I got an award for the scooter restoration and the high roller scooter rally and those things, I would donate.
	Oh, right.
	And I want an honorable mention.
	So here's my post-Karma donation.
	Sir Oscar Nadal, a.k.a.
	The Romantic Hispanic.
	He has a ring, so he must be a...
	He's a sir.
	Yes, Sir Oscar.
	Hey, baby.
	They call me the romantic Hispanic.
	He wrote a word on the rally, so it might have helped.
	Good.
	Congratulations.
	I don't know what a high roller scooter rally is.
	It must be some crazy...
	Something Kim.com would participate in, probably.
	Your good friend Dave Matthews.
	You mean...
	Nah, he's not really my good friend.
	Anyway, so...
	Well, you bring it up.
	You know, how can I not say anything?
	I'm not allowed to talk about that.
	I don't know.
	I don't think you should.
	Maybe you could.
	It's kind of funny.
	So...
	I don't know.
	So he has a Vespa that he completely rebuilt.
	Oh, my finger slipped.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I didn't mean it.
	That just happened.
	Why would you do that?
	We won't get into it.
	If someone donates $1,000, I'll tell the story.
	Okay, that'll be the challenge.
	Anyone who donates $1,000 gets the Dave Matthews story, which is kind of funny.
	It's creepy.
	Ha!
	It's creepy.
	But then I will share my portion.
	That's a story.
	We should do that with more of our anecdotes.
	Yeah, you want me to tell that story?
	By the way, talking about anecdotes, how did that chicken turn out that you called me up about?
	Thank you for asking.
	Yeah, so I had two hindquarters, which I bought at the Austin Market on 4th.
	And I was like, okay, I really want to do these differently.
	I call up John.
	This is great because we never talk.
	I call up and he says, hey.
	I said, hey, hey, what do you want?
	And I go right into it.
	I got two hindquarters.
	How do I make them?
	And we do no small talk or nothing.
	John's like, okay, here's what you do.
	This is delicious.
	It's guaranteed to work every time.
	I make it all the time.
	It's perfect.
	And it consisted of chopping up onions and carrots.
	And I actually did broccoli, John.
	Didn't do the Brussels sprouts.
	I had broccoli, some red potatoes and slices, and a little bit of olive oil over that, a little bit of seasoning, then salt and pepper on the bird, then rubbed it with margarine.
	And put that on top of the vegetables in the oven for 25, 40 minutes.
	John, the oven went ding.
	It came out.
	It was spectacular.
	Yeah, that's a good dish.
	It was spectacular.
	What I like about that dish is that is essentially, and this is done in a casserole thing, that it's a dish that creates the vegetable dish and the chicken dish, and there's no maintenance.
	You just put it in.
	And it works.
	You have to put it in.
	You have to have a convection oven.
	Convection oven, yeah.
	What you want.
	And in a glass pan.
	It's nice and crispy.
	It's not like, you know, flaccid.
	Mm-hmm.
	And it's a good dish, and it's easy to do.
	Very easy to do.
	So, for Miss Molly...
	I'll write it up, and we can post it somewhere.
	Well, for Miss Molly, I did something, a variation of it.
	I had a whole chicken.
	It was more like a big hen.
	It would have been a little too much for the two of us, but perfect for the three of us.
	Did the exact same thing.
	Put the bird right on top of the...
	And by the way, the broccoli, that will blow you.
	Have you ever tried it with broccoli?
	I throw different things in there.
	Broccoli is outstanding when you do that.
	And so I did that, and here's how I did it.
	I started off at 500 for 15 minutes, then went to 425 for 15 minutes, and then did 30 minutes at 350.
	So I was like a step-down mode.
	And convection, of course.
	Wow.
	If you really fry it, step down, step down, sizzle, let it go, really good.
	How long was that for?
	30 minutes at 350 at the end.
	So 15 at 5, 15 at 425, and then 30 at 350.
	So an hour total, yeah.
	Wow.
	I mean, I was sucking that bird.
	Anyway, I want to thank you.
	No, thank you very much.
	It was dynamite.
	Absolutely dynamite.
	And that was our entire conversation.
	The rest of this program is completely unrehearsed and supported by you, the listeners, by going to...
	And really, please do this because we need to up the ante here.
	And we've got a special promotion there.
	There you go.
	Special $1,000 promotion.
	By the way, it will not disappoint...
	You would agree with me, John.
	It will not disappoint.
	It's a good story.
	It's your birthday, birthday!
	On no agenda!
	All right, only one on the list today, but it's an important one.
	Scott Rebska.
	Rebska.
	Just happy birthday to his buddy there, Part.
	And that will conclude our birthday list.
	Happy birthday from everybody here at the No Agenda Show.
	Maybe we should do a separate cooking show.
	I think cooking shows are generally, I think once in a while, I think it's interesting, but I think it would be generally boring.
	I'll put this recipe for this chicken into the next newsletter we send out, which could be next week.
	So that may encourage people to open the newsletter.
	Watch the dough come rolling in.
	Dough.
	There's no dough involved.
	What if we did an audio cooking show?
	No.
	Yeah, well, then I might do it without you.
	Okay, go ahead.
	I'll just call you up and say, give me a new one, man, give me a new one.
	I mean, I don't mind talking about recipes and cooking once in a while, but I just, I don't know, maybe.
	We'll think about it.
	Hey, I found a funny misspeak from Cantor.
	Is he Congressman Cantor?
	Yeah, I think so.
	On Meet the Press last week, listen for it.
	Joining me now, House Majority Leader, Republican Congressman Eric Cantor of Virginia.
	Mr.
	Leader, welcome back to Meet the Press.
	Dave, it's good to be here.
	So, big primary on Tuesday.
	You have not chosen sides here in this Republican nomination fight.
	Are you prepared to say who you're with this morning?
	David, yes, because what I have seen is you said a very hard fart primary throughout the last couple months.
	Did you hear it?
	Yeah, hard what?
	Hard fart primary.
	Hard fart, yeah, hard fart.
	A very hard fart primary.
	Yeah, I think you nailed it.
	It's like, you always get to me, fart jokes are great.
	We need more fart jokes.
	I'm sorry, go ahead.
	I do have...
	Virginia is where Cantor's from, and he supported...
	Romney.
	Romney, and then, of course, there was Ron Paul versus Romney.
	And Ron Paul got 40% of the vote, which was ludicrously high, considering all the support that Romney got.
	It was a really good analysis I heard on one of the shows from one of these independent progressive guys.
	You can play that and catch us up to the...
	You'd have to tell me which one to play.
	Ron Paul almost wins Virginia.
	Now, you sent this twice.
	That was a mistake.
	Okay.
	Then I will play only one.
	100 votes, Santorum would have won.
	So if you burrow into these results very far, you realize that Mitt Romney has really not had that good a Super Tuesday.
	In fact, the most striking result to me was that in Virginia, where he only faced Ron Paul, more than 40% of the people came out and voted for Ron Paul.
	Ron Paul actually carried a congressional district there.
	So Romney's still got quite a bit of work ahead of him to close this deal.
	And as a result, in Virginia, one of the striking things is Ron Paul did fabulously in college towns.
	He carried some college towns.
	He ran very, very competitively in others.
	And there's a pretty good indication there that he got a decent anti-war vote.
	Out of Virginia.
	Or simply just an anti-political orthodoxy vote.
	But still, getting to 40% there against the guy who is the presumed front-runner and the guy who had the support of all of the Virginia Republican establishment, including the governor, Congressman Cantor, others, that's striking to me.
	So I'm now back to my earlier assertion, which was in the pre-Red Book, that the Republicans are throwing the election.
	Because no one wants to have it?
	I don't think they seriously want the job knowing that there's going to be an economic collapse.
	And they just assume if Obama...
	What would happen if a Republican gets in, you have an economic collapse, they get blamed for it, and then they get ousted, and then the next person to come back would be Hillary.
	So you think they're playing long game?
	Yeah.
	So I want to lose this thing.
	But soak their supporters so they get lots of money so they can always blame them for not giving enough money.
	And then you have to make them pay more the next time.
	Because this thing has become a money game.
	It's ludicrous.
	Because Obama's gone to the super PACs himself.
	He's...
	Everything he said about it is null and void, so he's going to spend a billion at least.
	And the Republicans will spend probably less than that, and then they'll be scolded for not spending enough money.
	This is the only way, and the media is going to jump on this too, because they're, of course, the beneficiaries.
	But if they win and then they sink the economy, because it's just going to happen, it's a cycle.
	I believe.
	And then Hillary has a shot at it.
	But if Obama goes back and he sinks the economy and things are really bad by 2016, which they should be, then Hillary doesn't have a prayer.
	The Republicans will get in.
	And typically in the seventh year of a downturn, like 1937, there's a huge spike.
	So it'll look like people are happy.
	Yeah, so you have like a mini boom.
	And when is that coming, exactly?
	The mini spike?
	2017.
	Okay, I'll wait for that.
	Regarding these superpacks...
	That's my thinking on this.
	I made this prediction before, as you know.
	Yeah, we'll keep it in there.
	And I'm leaving it.
	Just to stop for a second and play one more clip, I got this weird Romney clip on the NewsHour and that's what re-triggered my thinking.
	There were two analysts talking about some, just play the Romney clip and I'll explain it.
	Middle class neighborhood.
	And this one, how many times have we all been here with our family seated around the kitchen table?
	There he is in the middle.
	What?
	They're showing photos of the Romney at home.
	And this very pleasant photo.
	And those yellow tumbler cups that everybody uses.
	So kids don't spill things.
	And you know, Lauren, where are these pictures?
	It's called a sippy cup, you douche.
	It came from was a blog.
	It was called the Mormon Mommy Blog, maintained by a daughter-in-law of Mitt Romney.
	And so this is how it made its way onto BuzzFeed.
	Once this was publicized, the blog was shut down.
	Why the campaign wouldn't...
	Well, it was shut down.
	I mean, so once the campaign sees these out, which you're saying make him look pretty good, at least natural, their reaction was to...
	I guess they felt that this was private.
	But when you run for president, you know, part of what you're doing is you're running your family, has the potential family to live in the White House.
	His handsome sons.
	His five sons.
	And so it's hard for me to understand why it took an offbeat website to put out pictures that this campaign should pay money to have people look at, because it makes Mitt Romney look like a good guy.
	It does.
	Well, it makes him, his big criticism is that he is very stiff, not a hair out of place, very calculated at the debate, not going too high, not going too low.
	And here, this softens him, but it doesn't seem like the Romney campaign really got that.
	I mean, it's interesting, because running theme in what we've just looked at today and other things we've talked about.
	What am I listening to?
	This is the news hour.
	But the point is that Romney had a bunch of very pleasant pictures that showed him as a normal person.
	And the campaign went ballistic.
	And they shut down the blog.
	They did all these crazy things.
	This is not what they're trying to do.
	They don't want him to win.
	Huh.
	Because this is not the kind of thing, because, oh, well, he's a family man.
	There he is at home.
	They shut down the Mormon mommy block.
	Shut it down.
	And no more of this.
	We're in control.
	They don't want him to win.
	I don't know if Romney himself knows this is going on, because I think he's just a stooge.
	He's a robot.
	He's Lurch.
	Well, these photos show that he's not a robot, but they're making him into one.
	I think the whole thing is rigged, I'm telling you.
	This thing has no change.
	You've got a high unemployment rate if you really look at the numbers, and if you look at the Shadowstat guy in San Francisco's numbers where you have 25% unemployment, true unemployment.
	This would be the first time a president ever gets re-elected with these sorts of unemployment numbers.
	That's how bad the Republicans want to lose.
	Yeah, but it would not be a crazy or out of character for a president to win re-election when you're in the middle of a war.
	So that's why we need to have a war around October.
	I'll put this in the book.
	I'll predict there will not be an October war.
	That idea is going to collapse because Obama's going to win easily and it will be a well-known fact by then.
	By October, they're already going to see the writing on the wall and Obama's going to get elected easily.
	So it's going to be a big, big victory and the Republicans are going to have to go back to the drawing board, what it looks like.
	But I think they're throwing it.
	I think they're throwing the election.
	Question.
	In order to do this, so they already are shutting down the Mormon mommy bloggers, do you think that they will go as far as to set up a Romney mega fail, like a Dukakis helmet moment or a Howard Dean screen?
	Why not?
	What could it be?
	You can't take a chance.
	What could it be?
	Gay thing?
	You think a gay thing would work?
	The gay thing is hard to pull off.
	It has to be something idiotic.
	I think the...
	What could be crazier?
	You and I have to...
	If we're running the show...
	It always works best if there's a costume involved.
	That's why the Dukakis thing...
	Zorro.
	Rami in a Zorro costume.
	That would be my choice.
	What do you think?
	I like the idea, but I think it's going to be, it'll catch us off guard, but when it happens, we will have already predicted it.
	They're going to have a photo of Romney in some dumb costume.
	In a Zorro costume.
	It's going to make him lose.
	It's icing on the cake because he's losing already.
	So there's one thing I wanted to mention about super PACs.
	You know we have no agenda here.
	You and I both like Ron Paul's message very much.
	Mark Ames blogged something interesting.
	There's a lot of talk about Ron Paul and Mitt Romney being buddy-buddy.
	By the way, it could be both Mitt Romney and Ron Paul in Zorro outfits.
	That would be a great picture.
	There's a lot of talk that maybe Ron Paul would be a VP candidate, etc.
	So if we're going to sink Ron Paul, I mean Romney, we might as well take that pesky Ron Paul with us, right?
	I don't think it's important because Ron Paul's old enough that he's already too old to be elected to...
	I don't think Ron Paul's important to get out of the way.
	I think he's already been marginalized.
	He's out of the way.
	He's fourth place.
	So here's what's interesting.
	Ron Paul's Super PAC, which is called Endorse Liberty, is located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
	More interesting, the Super PAC's staff and founders include several former Romney supporters as well as Huntsman supporters.
	The founding principal of Endorse Liberty, Ladd Christensen, is a bigwig there in Utah.
	Longtime business partner of Huntsman's dad.
	So I'm just thinking, interesting.
	Yeah, Huntsman Dad is the super-Mormon in the whole...
	He's the Mac Daddy.
	He's the Mac Daddy Mormon.
	Yeah, he's actually one of the disciples.
	So do you think that...
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, he's one of the rare disciples.
	I mean, this is a status that you get.
	You have to be major, major, major league.
	It's like being a cardinal in the House of Cardinals in the Vatican.
	Wow.
	Yeah, that's pretty good.
	So anyway, I found that to be interesting.
	Yeah, that is interesting.
	And I saw something, because you mentioned the unemployment numbers, I saw something very interesting happen this morning on CNN with that douchebagette, with the long-haired brunette.
	So they're talking about all of a sudden the U6 numbers are coming into play.
	So they say, oh, well, of course there's the U6 numbers, and you and I know about the U6 numbers, because these are the numbers that show the bums, people who have dropped out of the workforce.
	U6 numbers are the numbers they used to use to tell you what the unemployment rate was.
	Right.
	So you watch, because here's what they were saying.
	Well, you can expect the unemployment number to go up because people are so optimistic about the economy, they're coming back into the workforce and they're looking for jobs.
	That's what the message is going to be.
	It's going to be outstanding.
	They're going to say, hey, you know, things are going, yes, now they're going to say, no, no, no, you're not reading the numbers right.
	Because people are coming back.
	They're so excited about the economy and building battery cars that now all of a sudden that's why the unemployment numbers went up.
	You watch.
	You put that in the red book.
	Put that in the red book.
	That's going to happen.
	That's going to be the spin.
	I'll put it in the red book, but I think it's already happened.
	So I had, there was another C-SPAN extravaganza I was watching.
	This was really quite outrageous.
	This was the Cybersecurity Forum.
	And we had senators asking ISP's questions about cybersecurity.
	Squirrel!
	So the Comcast guy is there, you know, and a whole bunch of different guys.
	But this guy, Amoroso, You know him?
	Dr.
	Amoroso.
	His name rings a bell, but I keep thinking of the Celebrity Apprentice.
	He could be on Celebrity Apprentice.
	This guy is the cyber technical officer for AT&T. He is such a condescending a-hole.
	And all he's doing throughout this...
	And he talks to the senators.
	And by the way, they deserve it.
	They're idiots.
	He talks to the senators like they're little children.
	But he's selling the cloud.
	And the whole thing was like a sales job to sell the government cloud services and customers have to be on the cloud.
	Everybody has to be in the cloud.
	It would be much, much safer if we're all in the cloud.
	So I want you to hear...
	Really?
	How's it much safer...
	How is it safer?
	Well, I'm glad you asked because Doris Matsui from California asked exactly that question, John, and prepared to throw up in your mouth.
	Thank you, Mr.
	Chairman, and this is all challenging and frightening at the same time here.
	I'm so frightened because cybersecurity is scary!
	We need a cloud!
	And I do appreciate all of your testimony.
	I want to go into another area here.
	As we look into...
	Thank you.
	providers or do you think because that technology is newer it could be better for cloud providers to consider forming their own best practices to secure data in the cloud and like Mr.
	Mann and Dr.
	Amoroso to answer that, please.
	Now, before we go to Dr.
	Amoroso, she says like, oh, Dr.
	Amoroso, like she's having an orgasm.
	I'd like to go to our real resident expert, Jean-Claude Dvorak, who has been a reporter on technology for two decades.
	John, do you think that ISPs should force their customers to have cloud-based services in order to protect the citizens of the United States of Gitmo Nation?
	God, no.
	So, my mother has a PC at home that at this instant, I'm sure, is like attacking China or something.
	It's probably going...
	Can you believe this guy's sitting in the Senate?
	He's doing sound effects?
	So he's going to play it all the way down for the dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb senator.
	It's not administered properly, and she's got a big tower with Verizon, Fios, the whole thing.
	She doesn't need that.
	that.
	She'd be much better served to have a cloud provider just take care of all of that for her and she should just be using some appliance to hit the internet.
	The reason she doesn't is because there's software on the PC that she wants to be able to use, hasn't been put in the cloud.
	So in general, that concept is a more secure concept than my mom trying to do administration.
	So I think cloud in general is a more secure model than the one we have now.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's good to know.
	That's good to know.
	And by the way, if she's even on the club, her machine can still be compromised.
	But that's good to know.
	It's good to know.
	What an idiot.
	Okay, so here's the real idiot.
	Senator Susan Collins.
	In the wrap-up.
	In the wrap-up.
	Here's her takeaway of the threat of cyberness to America.
	Now, I just want to say, you don't need to put the nuclear facilities on the internet.
	You don't need to put the trains on the internet.
	It's only because some guy, as John has pointed out before, who's lazy, who wants to sit at home scratching his nuts to check in on the network.
	You don't need to connect it all to the internet.
	It can be really secure.
	So after this whole rigmarole and this a-hole amoroso, Dr.
	Amarohol, After he's frightened everybody, here's the takeaway from Senator Susan Collins.
	It's not government-owned, and that's why you have to have a cybersecurity bill that isn't limited just to government systems or government computers.
	But protects that critical, privately owned infrastructure on which all of us rely every single day for electricity, for transportation, for clean water.
	It's absolutely essential to our security.
	In the year 2010, the estimate is...
	How many...
	Here's an Ask John question.
	How many cyber attacks were there, John, in the year 2010?
	I have no idea.
	I'm sorry, that is not a correct answer, and please answer in the form of a question.
	I... Do I not have an idea?
	Come on, give me a number.
	I would say, well, I mean, there's, depending on what you, it's all a matter of definition.
	What's an attack?
	If you're going to just say, you know, every time somebody pings a server trying to get into one of the ports and you contact his attack, you're going to talk about 10,000, 100,000, a million.
	If you're going to talk about actual attacks that did some serious damage, I don't know, two?
	So now you are Senator Susan Collins.
	Okay?
	You've just gotten ugly and you have boobs.
	And you have been convinced by these a-hole shills to a number.
	And your number's a million?
	Is that your top-line number?
	I'd give it a million, yeah.
	A million.
	Okay.
	We'll take that number.
	We're going to write that down on a piece of paper.
	And let's go for final Jeopardy.
	Estimate is that there were 3 billion cyber attacks on private and government computer systems.
	Okay.
	So every time somebody pinged a firewall, in other words...
	Three billion cyber attacks!
	Little brother.
	Three billion!
	Maybe we should just run for Congress or Senate or something.
	Wow.
	We could do better than this.
	I'm surprised the thing even works at all if there's that much action going on.
	Why would you shut it down?
	Three billion, I tell you.
	Three billion.
	That's Clip of the Day.
	Play the theme.
	Really?
	That's very kind of you.
	I'm happy to hear that.
	Clip of the Day.
	Three billion.
	Estimated.
	Yeah, it could be five.
	It could be six.
	It was so disgusting to watch these guys chill out the clouds and literally like, hey, you should be doing more business with us.
	I'm not kidding.
	They were literally saying that.
	How come you're not doing all that business with us?
	You should be doing more business with us.
	It's better.
	We're smart.
	I'm Dr.
	Amoroso.
	Well, that's, yeah, that's depressing.
	Yeah, it's what it is, baby.
	I mean, it's not as though there aren't millions of people out there that know anything.
	I mean, there's plenty of experts, especially about, you know, the nonsense that they're trying to promote.
	And they just don't even bring them up in front of Congress.
	It's weird.
	Well, no.
	The Congress people, I mean, and then there are the people that work in these congressional offices.
	Are they that dumb?
	Yes.
	Yeah, I guess so.
	And they're on the take.
	Yeah, there's a lot.
	It's got to be the lobbyists that put these hearings together.
	So, you know, when we first started the show in 2008...
	At the time we were talking a lot about the North American Union and the Amero and all of that stuff.
	Yes, we've lost track of the Amero.
	But there's something that I caught Lucifer Clinton talking about the other day.
	I was like, wow, I think there is a North American Union.
	If you were a member of a North American Union, what would you need to prove that you're a member?
	That you're a citizen of the North American Union.
	A citizen?
	An ID? A common ID? Yeah, go to travel.state.gov, if you don't mind.
	Okay.
	And, uh...
	Okay.
	You see there's a nice picture of Lucifer?
	No, I'm not there yet.
	Okay.
	I had to open up a browser,.state.gov.
	Mm-hmm.
	Okay, there's a picture of Lucifer.
	Not a good picture, by the way.
	No, no, I'm surprised she puts up with this.
	It's a screen capture.
	I think her facelift has failed.
	I don't think she's had a facelift.
	She needs a facelift.
	No, no, I understand she has.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, and I think they only last so long.
	I think it was seven or eight years ago, and it's collapsed.
	Yeah, they do only last.
	Now, click on the Passports tab.
	Passports.
	Right.
	Because she's promoting the...
	There's actually a little video about, you know, get your passport.
	It's cool.
	You know, get your passport.
	You there at Passports?
	Yeah.
	On the left-hand side, you'll see something called Passport Card about halfway down.
	Yeah, Passport Card.
	Passport Card.
	My family all has one.
	I'm probably going to get one.
	So, what is the passport card good for?
	You can't travel internationally with the passport card.
	No, it's good for going to Canada and Mexico.
	Which would be the card you're describing, which is a card to get you...
	Which is...
	It's your ID card for the North American Union.
	Thank you.
	That's all I wanted to hear.
	Yeah.
	And I'll tell you something.
	It is a cool card.
	You have this?
	You have the Gitmo card?
	No, my daughter has it and Mimi has it.
	Why?
	Why?
	Because in Port Angeles, there's a little boat that takes you right to Canada.
	Why not just get a proper passport, like an American, United States passport?
	Try getting a passport back and forth when you just throw this card at them.
	It's more convenient.
	So you're falling into the trap.
	The thing is, not to promote the idea because of what you're thinking, but it is the coolest card.
	I'd recommend you getting one.
	A patch is next for you, Johnny Boy, I'm telling you.
	A big yellow patch.
	A little thing to wear on my jacket.
	Hey, this patch is cool.
	Start with a pin.
	You'll be like, these pins are dynamite.
	They're so beautiful.
	It's got the three flags.
	They're just beautiful to look at.
	This is the beginning, my friend.
	It is totally the beginning.
	That just slayed me.
	Oh, we can cross off one of the Red Prediction book.
	I said it would happen...
	I don't know if I ever specified it would happen in America.
	I probably did, so you can put like a pencil line through it.
	I've always said that one day, reality television will take us to actual death row executions, and lo and behold, in China, we have the execution factor.
	Where there's a reality show.
	They haven't done it right yet.
	They need to hire the Curry DeVore Consulting Company.
	Where Miss Ding, the national celebrity host, interviews inmates on death row just before they're offed.
	Do they show them getting killed?
	No, no, no.
	It's getting there.
	You gotta do that.
	Yeah.
	Well, I think you need to do it like we want to do it, where you keep going to cliffhanger shots of the phone on the wall.
	And then the phone will ring.
	And then, ooh!
	Ooh!
	And we'll cut to commercial.
	We come back.
	And then you see the warden picks up the phone and is like...
	No, pepperoni, man.
	I said pepperoni.
	Yeah, and we can drag that out for a good 22 minutes.
	Yeah, well, you have to use it as the teaser to end the show, too.
	I mean, you can't have an execution of the show.
	You have to have one execution per show.
	Well, what?
	No, you don't.
	I don't think so.
	At least one.
	I think you can drag out the execution part.
	So you're saying...
	No, no, no.
	By the way...
	No, you have to have at least one execution per show.
	No, you have to drag it out because otherwise it's like any other TV drama where you know that...
	I'm sorry.
	You know he's not going to get killed because it would ruin the show.
	And if you know the guy's going to get killed...
	No, no.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	You have to understand that...
	On our show, the guy always gets killed, but how?
	Is it the electric chair where his eyes bulge out?
	Or is it lethal injection?
	And we can have a wild card strangulation.
	How about a shiv in the yard?
	Yeah, that's our wild card.
	Oh, we have to go to the next contestant because this one got shivved.
	With a sharpened toothbrush handle.
	I'd love to produce that.
	And may I point out that I know what I'm talking about.
	Have you seen the ratings for Smash?
	Hello?
	Top of the list?
	Top of the list?
	Smash?
	Monday night's NBC lineup?
	This show is terrible.
	Mm-hmm.
	Of course it's terrible, but I told you it would do well because they brought all the gay back.
	It was perfect.
	They had dancing.
	They had intrigue.
	Now the girls are catfighting.
	And the gay guys had sex on the show.
	And then they both said it was the worst sex they'd ever had.
	I'm telling you, the show is awesome.
	These people know what they're doing.
	So you're thinking the more gay they go, the more shows they do?
	Ratings.
	Hello.
	Lesbians ratings.
	Gay ratings.
	It always works.
	I find the show tiresome.
	Yeah, well, I'm not saying that.
	I'm just saying.
	I'm just saying from a television executive perspective.
	John and Adam says, Blue.
	Sunday night I was flying into Baltimore about 10.45 p.m.
	on United, listening to the Aircraft Porn Channel, which we all know is Channel 9.
	That's from the flight deck.
	On the frequency for Potomac Approach, which does most of the Baltimore, D.C. area at a time on Sunday night, coincidentally, on that flight, I was listening to episodes 381 to 382, really digging the pipeline stuff.
	But I hear traffic, so there's like the air traffic controllers, for an LL flight, which caught me as out of place.
	Following is a rough transcript.
	Oh, wait.
	I'm sorry.
	This is LL. Potomac.
	This is LL033. Can you confirm your destination after Baltimore?
	Potomac.
	LL033 at Andrews.
	Roger.
	Thank you.
	You have a good night.
	LL033. So this, of course, was BB Netanyahu.
	And his flight number is 33.
	Wow.
	I mean, is that awesome or what?
	That's fantastic.
	We've been following this now for two or three years and we still have no idea.
	No idea what it means!
	What it means.
	But it means something.
	It should be used.
	We don't know what it means, but we love it.
	And we know something's afoot.
	When it happens.
	Yeah, it's not washing up on shore anytime soon.
	You know, someone sent me a link about the foots, and they said that's because people commit suicide off of the bridge.
	Nah.
	You're not buying that?
	No, I thought the one with the dolphin rape.
	That's my favorite answer, too.
	That was the best answer.
	Yeah, I think that's my favorite.
	Let me see as we wrap it up here.
	Well, before we go too far afield, let me do the one last kind of funny clip I have.
	Oh, groovy.
	Because our friend Aaron Burnett...
	Oh, can I say something about Aaron?
	Yes.
	So I tried to sit through Super Tuesday.
	And I would fire every single person who was involved in that show from a production standpoint...
	The panel was boring.
	Oh, you're talking about CNN? The panel was boring.
	It was terrible.
	Aaron's lighting was so bad.
	I think they're trying to ruin her.
	I actually thought the same thing.
	Someone is trying to ruin her career.
	They had a profile shot.
	And she had her mic pack on her back so she looked like Quasimodo.
	And her butt looked unflattering in that particular shot in that outfit.
	But the lighting, it was so bad.
	Why are they trying to hurt Aaron Burnett?
	Burnett, by the way, is how we pronounce it here at Tejas.
	Burnett.
	It was so boring.
	They didn't have her on enough.
	And she's the only one who was pretty.
	And they got Ari Fleischer.
	You got Anderson Pooper.
	And then Wolf Blitzer.
	I mean, put Ryan Seacrest in there.
	Wolf Blitzer is a douche.
	And he's just rattling numbers like...
	I mean, you've got...
	That's a good sound effect you did there.
	You've got all the elements you mean.
	It's stupid.
	So I'm watching her show, and at the end of every show, this is one of the things, by the way, that even when I was doing Silicon Spin, and there was a guy that ended up going back to CNN, but I don't know, if you do any sort of cable or anything else, and you're doing some sort of a...
	Pretty much.
	And in fact, I'm surprised that luckily we have no suits telling us what to do.
	They want you to do an editorial at the end.
	Yeah, this is like the ridiculous and this is her...
	What does she call it?
	I don't know.
	Aaron's...
	I call it Aaron is nuts, but...
	Aaron's an idiot.
	She's forced to do these dumb editorials, and it's such a stretch for her, because this is not anything she can naturally do, and obviously she's having trouble.
	She took a phrase from Santorum about...
	That's the straw that broke the camel's back.
	Oh, I saw this.
	Oh, my God.
	I saw this.
	How stupid was this?
	This was the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
	She made a whole editorial about...
	Camels in history and how he brought back the camel meme.
	No, he didn't.
	He went there.
	He brought back the camels.
	I can't believe he went there.
	Let's play the clip.
	It's killing me now.
	It's bad.
	Last night I was at the CNN Election Center for Super Tuesday and I jolted awake when I heard Rick Santorum.
	Because you were sleeping on the set.
	Yeah, jolted awake.
	I've said it almost every stump speech I've given.
	If it wasn't for one particular issue that to me breaks the camel's back with respect to liberty in this country, and that is the issue of Obamacare.
	Camel?
	I'm sure he was using a popular expression.
	Broke the camel's back to illustrate his frustration with President Obama's policies.
	But could the use of camel have been an attempt to seem more presidential?
	Because you may not realize this, but there is a proud tradition of members of the U.S. administration hanging with camels all over the world.
	Last year, Vice President Joe Biden got up close and personal with some camels in Mongolia.
	In 2009, President Obama met some camels while visiting Egypt.
	First Lady Jackie Kennedy rode a camel in Pakistan in 1962.
	In 1909, Teddy Roosevelt, see that?
	Riding camels in the Sudan.
	In 1897, this is my favorite, a 23-year-old Herbert Hoover went to work for a mining company in Australia.
	While he was there, he went back and forth to work every day.
	He commuted by camel.
	Woo!
	And it goes even further than that.
	In 1787, George Washington, a huge fan of exotic animals, paid 18 shillings to have a camel brought to his house for Christmas.
	I mean, Ron Paul, that's probably got to be like $18 billion in today's dollars, right?
	Well, look, we've been a two-party country for a long time.
	Anyway, I didn't get to the very end of the clip.
	She suggests the camel party.
	Here's how I would have wrapped up the editorial.
	Now, if we were in a meeting like, okay, Aaron, is this really the best you can do?
	Okay, we'll run with it.
	But you have to wrap it up like this.
	So, President Eisenhower, you rented a camel to get to him from work.
	I'm Aaron Burnett.
	I'm off to adjust my camel toe.
	Jeez.
	Then I would have had some respect.
	I don't know.
	So anyway, I could not believe it.
	They're going to get rid of her.
	Yeah, no kidding, no kidding.
	She is done.
	It was the camel thing that did it.
	Oh, God.
	It was just plain stupid.
	Why are we talking about this?
	Anyway.
	Ah, anyway.
	Well, because we were, at one time, both fans of Aaron Burnett.
	I mean...
	Yeah, we were.
	Well, that was...
	Those were the days!
	But I think they've screwed her.
	And I think I didn't know what you were talking about, but now that you mention it, that's just all part of the scheme.
	It's just the way it works.
	They'll have a meeting after they get rid of her and say, well, you know, she was never any good.
	I don't know why we hired her.
	And what was that camel thing?
	Yeah, the camel thing will be brought up in the meeting.
	Mm-hmm.
	Oh, yeah.
	Seriously, because I had it on while I was cooking, and all I could think was camel toe.
	I swear to God, I'm not kidding.
	That's what it triggered with me.
	Yeah, well, that makes sense, now that you mention it.
	It would trigger with you.
	Yeah, because that's who I am.
	Okay, let me just do a quick scan here.
	Yeah, the only last thing is, I saw on PBS NewsHour, Ray LaHood's kid.
	Oh, by the way, before you close, I do have one last thing, too.
	Go on.
	Ray LaHood's kid was one of these shills, the techno experts there at...
	In Egypt, at the NGOs who weren't being let out of the country and, oh, these horrible things.
	Of course, we all know that the IRI, the DNE, all of these so-called NGOs are all CIA efforts.
	To essentially help train techno-experts to overthrow dictators and influence elections.
	Although they say they're there to help elections.
	So it's bullcrap.
	And particularly when you're Ray LaHood's kid.
	I mean, come on.
	Yeah, what's this all about?
	Really.
	So here's how it went down.
	Under-reported, I think.
	So they were negotiating.
	Right?
	They were trying to get these kids back.
	And the minute they were released...
	What happens but the United States declared it backs the International Monetary Fund's efforts to aid Egypt?
	This was a huge money deal.
	Yeah.
	So these a-holes there, they held these kids, shills or not, said, hey, you get us some dough from the IMF. Here's what I tell you.
	Shall I tell you what's going to happen next?
	I bet you they're going to pop one of these guys like Megrahi.
	They're going to pop like Omar Rahman or one of these guys out of jail here.
	They're really going to start doing it.
	They're going to start popping people, grabbing them in Egypt, and they won't let them go until we let one of these like Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman.
	This guy is the next one.
	They'll let him out on humanitarian reasons or whatever.
	There's a lot of negotiating going on in the background because Egypt is out of control.
	Out of control.
	So they got $3 billion from the IMF in return for Ray LaHood's kid.
	That's what he's worth.
	Put it in the red book.
	Okay, it's in the book.
	So the most important story, I've saved it for last.
	Is that good enough for you, MS Small Biz?
	Is that enough news for you?
	Do we do enough analysis, you chat room shill?
	So they pushed it to page 14.
	I think it's actually one of the more important stories in the New York Times.
	And I think it's going to have ramifications in the Republican Party.
	Pat Robertson says marijuana should be legal.
	Pat Robertson, the 700 Club guy, he says the war on drugs is a failure.
	It's a joke.
	Quote, I really believe we should treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol.
	I've never used marijuana.
	I don't intend to, but it's just one of those things I think.
	This war on drugs just hasn't succeeded.
	So there you have it, folks.
	What does that mean?
	The most conservative religious leader chill in the United States says, let's do it, along with, you know, Ron Paul.
	Now you have, this can't continue.
	What can't continue?
	The war on drugs?
	This war on drugs has got to end.
	About time.
	Anyway, they buried it, but it was still top of the fold, but it was on page 14.
	It should have at least been teased on page 1, and I don't think it was.
	And I will make a minor note that both Germany and Switzerland have members of Parliament requesting to see the gold held at the Federal Reserve in New York come back to their countries.
	They've been trying to do this for a while.
	Well, it could start a...
	Get the tungsten out!
	Just plate it!
	We don't care!
	That's what I want.
	I want them to test it.
	Drill a hole in that sucker.
	They'll show up, but they won't test it.
	Just be plated, gold-plated tungsten.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, here it is.
	We got your gold right here.
	It's all good.
	Trust me, trust me, trust me.
	Look over, look at the camel toe.
	Don't look at the gold.
	Are you kidding me?
	Well, John, as always, it is quite a pleasure to catch up with you on a bi-weekly basis.
	I wish we could have done a little bit better today.
	And if you would like to support the show, then please consider us in your dreams, dvorak.org slash na.
	And who knows, maybe one day you will find the Cooking with Crackpot and Baking with Buzzkill episode.
	I think we would do great.
	It's Cooking with Crackpot, Baking with Buzzkill.
	And we throw in some, like, UFO stuff in the middle of all that.
	I got this recipe from an alien.
	laughs A gray.
	It's my gray souffle, I tell ya.
	Let me see.
	Do we have anything coming up?
	I don't know if we have a No Agenda Producer update.
	Otherwise, always make sure to check out the stream.
	Noagendastream.com.
	Lee Brown in the morning.
	All kinds of groovy shows always rolling on that, as well as repeats of this program.
	Coming to you from underneath the desk, because I'm ducking for the solar storms coming here to wipe out the internets in Camp MoFo, the drone star state in the morning, everybody.
	My name's Adam Curry.
	I think it'd be fun to see the solar flares take out the cloud.
	Now, there would be irony.
	Anyway, from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back again on Sunday, right here on No Agenda.
	No Agenda.
