We rock!
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, March 29th, 2012.
Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 3, 9 or 5.
This is no agenda.
Prepping for extreme event attribution here at Camp MoFo in the capital of the drone star state, Austin Tejas.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And plain and simple from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
Beautiful!
With a stinger.
It's the stinger.
All right, just for everyone who's been complaining.
In the morning.
There we go.
We need to do more in the mornings.
I didn't notice that we'd stop doing it.
You used it as the punch, as the approve, it was used as the, oh, that's funny, I approve that joke.
Yes, a very good joke.
In the morning.
Exactly.
We've actually gravitated toward when something like that happens to this.
Yeah, which is much more friendly, actually.
In the morning, it's still cute.
And it annoys a number of people, and we overdo it, so that's a good thing.
Yeah, but when we underdo it, it seems to annoy people as well.
Yes, you can't win.
Yeah.
I'm a little, I don't know, I'm tired.
Why?
I don't know, I'm just tired.
Well, I was up late.
I was up until like 1.30, 1.45.
You know I get up at 7 on show days, which of course is nothing.
I get up at 7 every day.
Yeah, I get up at 7.
You used to get up at 4 or 5, you used to say.
Well, I used to, yeah, when I was in California, so this would be the equivalent of me getting up at 5 when I was on the West Coast.
So now I get up at 7, but then I stay up until like...
Oh, that's right, because you're not doing this show at the same time.
You're doing it at 9 a.m.
Pacific time.
What is it there, noon?
It's about time for drinks.
It's happy hour here.
It's always happy hour in Austin.
No, but there was a lot of C-SPAN this week that I felt quite obliged to watch.
Mainly the healthcare debate or question and answer session that was going on.
I like the way C-SPAN does that.
Where they have, it's almost like a multiple person Skype call.
When someone's talking, their picture comes up to the front.
The other person's picture comes up to the front.
It's very entertaining.
Yeah, well, as it gets.
Yeah, six hours of it.
Yummy, yummy, yummy.
In the morning to you, my friend.
In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
In the morning to all ships at sea and boots on the ground and feets in the air and feets washing ashore.
Yes, in far Rockaway, Queens.
The latest feets washing up on the shore.
And in the morning to all of the human resources charged up ready to go in our chat room.
Love to see you guys here as always.
Every Thursday and Sunday mornings.
And I will remind you that you are indeed living in a distortion field reality of media propaganda and manipulation of your mind.
And the only time you can surely escape it...
Is these two and a half hours when you are with us as we hold your hand and you feel like you understand it all and you have clarity.
Which would be weird since we don't really get it here.
Well, just talking to you makes me feel much more clear.
How does that work?
Yeah, well, I don't know.
So part of the reality distortion, which has just been quite amazing to me, and by the way, I looked at the numbers for CNN. Man, these numbers are down 40% year over year.
On average, there's 150,000 people watching CNN. It's pretty low.
It's very low.
That's like nobody.
Fox doesn't have much more, really.
Well, they got about $4.50.
Well, the primetime hours, they do better, obviously.
Yeah.
But even Anderson Pooper, Aaron Burnett pulls in like a quarter million.
I mean, it's really nothing.
But what it does give us...
It gives us all the talking points of the matrix that is being broadcast into the universe.
Because otherwise, you've got to sit through a whole bunch of annoying things on NBC, ABC, CBS. It's all the same stuff, though.
It's all coming off the same memo.
And now he's more concentrated on these stations, but it also repeats itself a lot, so you don't really have to listen 24-7 to get the meme.
Exactly, exactly.
So this Trayvon Martin thing is just being pushed so hard.
And Bill Maher was on...
I'm not quite sure how this works.
Bill Maher was on the Dr.
Drew show.
On HLN, which has even less viewers than the regular CNN. It's the headline news, which unfortunately a lot of young people watch because they figure, hey, 20 minutes, I'll know everything that's going on.
Yeah, but they don't even do that anymore.
It used to be, if you used to watch that thing 10 or 15 years ago, it would be a...
It'd be that one brunette staring at the camera, and then they'd run a news hour, and then they'd start another news hour, the same one, and then over and over, and they'd update during it, and you could actually get a day's worth of news in an hour, and then you could turn it off.
Well, whatever you consider news.
Well, I mean, their news.
I mean, yeah, pop news.
Yeah, pop news.
That's what it is.
Pop news.
So Bill Maher is on.
And of course, Bill Maher is completely compromised.
We know that Yahoo paid him a million dollars to launch their comedy channel.
And that was that big fake check that he had on stage, giving it to the Obama super PAC, which is a great deal for Maher because he gets to write it off.
You know, no skin off his nose.
And he looks like a hero.
Because let's be honest, if it was really his million dollars, I'd be doing it on my own show.
I wouldn't be doing it on stage at the Yahoo opening of their comedy channel.
How about you?
I agree.
Yeah, so we know that's a scam.
So he's in the pocket, and he has to weigh in.
And, well, let's just listen to this, and then I want to interrupt that with something very interesting that happened on CNN. This, of course, is about two things.
He's propagating the meme like a good little slavelet.
Racism and gun laws.
Okay, of course, that's the Trayvon Martin case.
We've been talking a lot about that.
A tragedy.
Is this about racism?
Of course.
I can't believe we're even asking that question.
How could it not be?
If the positions were reversed, if it was a white kid who was shot by a black guy, you think we'd be in this situation?
So this I find very interesting because this is the meme that's being propagated.
If it was the other way around.
First of all, this was not a white guy.
This was an Hispanic guy.
So it's not exactly the same thing, and I think there's lots of black on Hispanic, Hispanic on black violence and crime that we don't hear about.
But this is the thing that is now being propagated, and we had a major script mess up on CNN. I don't know if you saw this, John.
Someone tweeted me.
Of course, it's nowhere to be found in the archives.
Luckily...
Several of our human resources pointed me to a YouTube video of someone who taped this off of their television.
So the audio is a little low, but I've done some filtering, cranked it up a little bit.
Where, who's the ditz on CNN? That doesn't matter.
That's kind of an open question.
Very open question.
Yeah, she's on middays before Don comes in.
Anyway, so she's talking to Congresswoman Corrine Brown of Florida.
And Corrine Brown is a very interesting character to look at.
She has...
Forget about appearances.
She's very interesting to look at.
African-American congresswoman from Florida and Brooke is her name.
Brooke goes off script because she hears the representative say something along the lines of, hey, you know, just like, oh, if this is the other way around, it would be very different.
So she says, hey, wait a minute.
So would it really be that way?
Would it be the other way around?
And Kareem Brown slips up big time.
One of the funniest moments in television.
It's Oh, let me tell you something.
We had an incident in my area where a young, white female was murdered.
And I was just as concerned.
Absolutely.
I care about all of the children.
You know, you can make this...
What was her name?
So here's where it went wrong.
So she says, hey, we had a white female here who was killed in my district.
She's from Florida.
And, you know, I was all over that.
Of course, we didn't hear that.
We didn't hear about any of it.
And then Brooke slips.
And she said, oh, what was her name?
She's like trying to be a journalist all of a sudden.
It's like, no, no, you got to stick to the script.
What was her name?
I want to Google that.
See if I can find it.
The answer?
The young lady that got killed.
Yes, ma'am.
In Orange County.
What was her name?
Yep, the young lady that got killed.
No, no.
The point of the matter is, I don't remember her name.
But I'm all over it!
You gotta see her face.
She's off looking to her aides like, you know, like...
But I'm all over it.
If it was the other way around, I'd be all over it.
It's bullcrap.
This thing is reality distortion.
It is intended for one purpose only, and that is for politicizing the event.
And I'm missing a couple things.
Well, you know, this is obviously to draw attention to the race issue so we can vote for Obama.
Now, the one thing, I was watching one of the shows, one of the news shows, and they decided to talk about race, and they brought out the entire staff, it looked like the entire staff of the network, who were black only.
There was nobody else.
And each one of them went and they were all professionals and slick and they knew how to talk on television and they came out one after another talking about how deplorable this is.
And the whole messaging here is to get people to say, well, you know, we have a black president and I wonder if that, you know, am I going to vote for the Republican because maybe I harbor some hidden, you know, some deep racism?
I have to rethink this and maybe I should reconsider racism.
You know, voting for Obama again.
I think this is strictly, this is all orchestrated by the White House.
Well, if I was not...
And wait, just to add to my point, I have the Bobby Rush clip.
Yeah, I have it too, but I'll play yours because you want to set it up.
This was quite amazing.
Bobby Rush is in front of Congress and he starts to yak about this thing.
And the poor guy, I don't know how he gets re-elected.
He can barely speak.
And I looked him up.
I don't know.
Did he have a stroke?
I have no idea.
I think he's just old.
He just seems really old.
He's 65 for God's sake.
You're kidding me.
Really?
He was born in 1946.
Oh my goodness.
Well, yeah, he acts like he's almost 80.
Or 90.
Let's not be ageist though, John.
Let's be careful what we're saying.
We're not being ageist.
We're just saying, well, in this case we're being ageist.
But whatever the case is, he's a mush mouth that can barely speak and he comes out there and then he's yakking away and right in the middle of his speech he pulls up a hoodie.
Actually, he takes off his jacket.
He takes off his jacket.
And he's got his hoodie underneath.
When he uses the word clothing, you can imagine him taking off his jacket.
Q. Q. By the time he gets to the word hoodie in this little speech, he's got the hood over his head.
And then the chairman or the guy running that house starts pounding him down.
Hey, you can't do that.
Can't wear a hat in Congress.
And then they finally still wouldn't stop yakking.
He started reading from the Bible, which is nuts.
And then so the guy finds the speaker, the representative is no longer recognized.
And when they say that, they killed his mic.
Let's play this.
I also want you to know, when he puts the hood up, did you also notice he changed to dark glasses?
Yeah, he went and wore his dark glasses so he looked just like the uniform.
It was indeed an American tragedy.
Too often, this violent act that resulted in the murder of Trayvon Martin is repeated In the streets of our nation, I applaud the young people all across the land who are making a statement about hoodies,
about the real Hootlands in this nation, particularly those who spread On our laws, wearing official or quasi-official clothes.
Racial profiling has to stop, Mr.
Speaker.
Just because someone wears a hoodie Does not make them a hoodlum.
A hoodlum?
The Bible teaches us, Mr.
Speaker, in the book of Michael 668, these words...
Shut up, slave!
These words.
He has shown you, O man, what is good, what does the Lord require you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
And in the New Testament, Luke 4, 418-20 teaches us these words.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me to proclaim the good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and to recover sight to the blind, to set the oppressed free.
I urge all who hear these words to heed these lessons The member is no longer recognized.
The member is no longer recognized.
I don't recognize you!
The chair will ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to enforce the prohibition on the Corps.
The Corps.
Yeah, and then it's like under Section 5.
And then they shot the long shot again, and Rush was gone.
They hauled him out of there.
So it looks like he did have a...
He had brain surgery for a tumor in 2008.
Oh, dude.
That would explain it.
That would explain the speech pattern.
But you said something interesting just before we went into the clip.
He looked like the Unabomber.
I mean, indeed.
Indeed.
Yeah.
So why don't we just...
It was like the drawing that went around of the Unabomber.
Yeah, didn't we...
Wasn't there like something with hoodies when the Unabomber was around?
Yeah, the hoodie thing was considered, you know...
Unabomber.
I don't know.
You were a terrorist.
I mean, we have a National Football League coach who wears hoodies and we have...
I mean, the hoodie is a hoodie, but...
In certain...
I don't know why...
I'm telling you they're probably selling a lot of hoodies.
And, of course, immediately Obama releases a hoodie, even though Ron Paul's been selling a hoodie.
He's been selling hoodies now.
I know, I know.
I mean, it's great for the business of hoodie makers.
Here's the thing, though, that I'm...
You know what I'm really missing?
Because I scan all the channels.
I'm missing Trayvon's classmates.
Where are those interviews?
His teachers.
I'm not seeing any of that.
Did I miss it?
Was there a funeral?
Did we have a huge vigil at a funeral?
Did I just miss it?
Trayvon's out of the picture.
We don't care about him.
Oh, okay.
But I think there's actually something much worse going on.
And this plays into the Supreme Court and their six-hour hearing on the constitutionality of forcing the slaves of America to buy insurance, health insurance.
Or else.
Right.
Now, if you immediately, on the first day The very first day of the lawyer speaking, here's the kind of news that was all over the place.
This was a train wreck for the Obama administration.
This law looks like it's going to be struck down.
It's dead.
It's horrible.
It's not going to work.
Everyone's like, oh, we can't believe the...
The Verrilli, who was speaking on behalf of the government, the solicitor general, he's horrible.
He was stuttering.
He was no good.
It's going nowhere.
It's all horrible.
I think, John, that at this point...
The re-election campaign, scampaign, of President Obama is more important to him than anything.
I believe they actually want the Supreme Court to throw this out, to say it's unconstitutional.
So we can have a war on health care this summer.
We'll mess it all up.
People won't be getting help in emergency rooms.
Oh, yeah, no, and then Obama can throw it in the Republicans' face.
Yeah, and they'll say, see, this is what, exactly.
See, this is what you wanted.
This is what you wanted.
And meanwhile, Romney's between a rock and a hard place because he's the one who is the, who, you know, did Romney care, which is a very similar type of, although it was more socialized medicine or more.
In fact, the spokeshole, it wasn't Carney, it was his deputy spokeshole, his spokeshole light.
He kicked off the whole press conference the other day with, oh, just so you know, this whole thing was all invented by the Republicans.
So...
I really, I think that this summer we're going into racial warfare, healthcare warfare, so people are just, you know, they're going to be bopping each other over the heads in the streets and you can't get your head sewn up.
I mean, it's just going to be nuts.
Yeah, it's going to be nuts.
Yeah, so just briefly on this, because I got one clip from the six hours that I thought was interesting.
This is Varelli.
You found some?
Yeah.
Because I've been listening to that thing, and it's like, I mean, I like Scalia when he said, the one thing I like was, I'm not going to read this 2,700-page document.
I haven't got time for this bull crap.
Yeah, leave that to Curry and Dvorak.
They like that stuff.
Let them read it, which we did.
And we found a lot of stuff in there, if you'll recall.
None of it's good, by the way.
Remember the 1099 provision?
Remember the...
Well, there's still the...
Everything that was discovered like that was pulled out, but the 1099 thing was ridiculous.
What's it doing in there?
Well, there's other things.
There's the embeddable RFID chips.
There's a lot of good stuff in it.
The mark of the beast is coming.
The prophecy.
We're living it.
But here's Verily, and he screws up so badly.
I mean, I'm not a lawyer.
I love reading legislation and legal documents.
And I think I could do better in front of the Supreme Court.
First of all, I'd be like, hey, Ruth, you're hot.
You milfy.
And I'd have her on my hand right there.
Yeah.
Yeah, that would work.
Here's Verily.
And actually, Kagan starts off with an interesting question.
The nature of the representation you made, that the only consequence is the penalty.
Suppose a person does not purchase insurance, a person who is obligated to do so under the statute doesn't do it, pays the penalty instead, and that person finds herself in a position where she's asked the question, have you ever violated any federal law?
Would that person have violated a federal law?
No.
Our position is that that person should give the answer no.
And that's because...
That if they don't pay the tax, they've violated the federal law.
But as long as they've paid the penalty.
If they've paid the tax, then they're in compliance with the law.
Why do you keep saying tax?
That's Scalia.
No, that wasn't Scalia.
That was...
I thought it was...
Oh, no, it was the other guy, the bald guy.
Yeah.
Thank you.
So here's what...
A couple things come out of this.
One, Verrilli keeps calling it a tax, which is exactly what he's trying to prove it's not.
Right.
I mean, this is ludicrous.
I mean, how bad can you get?
And then they go on for hours about it.
For the purposes of her question, which is very interesting.
Very good question, because...
He has to make it a tax.
Otherwise, then what she says is valid.
You're violating a federal law.
It's a felony, in fact.
Yes, so it would be a felony, but if you pay, and it wouldn't be a fine, because a fine would be part of a violation process, as opposed to a tax, which is just part of doing business in the country as a human resource.
But he played his hand by calling it a tax consistently, three times after that, if you don't pay the tax, because it's...
Oh no, he made a strong point of it.
Was it Brennan, Brenner, Brennan?
I don't know.
I'll get his name.
Hang on.
Oh, the other dude.
Yeah, the bald guy.
Yeah.
He always talks very...
I was listening to him.
He's like a very...
You know, very slow-speaking erudite.
And the guy's very full of himself.
I've seen him on a number of...
If you got to wear that dress, you might be full of yourself, too.
Oh, yeah.
I probably would be.
I'm full of myself now.
But...
The point is, if you refuse, that's a felony.
And a felony is punishable by $250,000 in fines and 10 years in jail.
Stephen Breyer.
Breyer, right.
That's why I said Breyer.
Breyer.
So, yeah, I mean, it was like the guy was brought in to throw the fight.
He was so bad.
Well, you have to wonder what their actual basis for argument is.
I couldn't figure it out.
I gave up.
That is a good clip, though, by the way.
And I was just discussing with Miss Mickey last night.
I'm like, you know, if this thing were to happen, 8% of your income goes to...
Insurance companies.
8%.
Huh.
Sounds about right.
Yeah.
Wow!
I said, I'm going to throw you around, break some bones, get my money's worth.
This is no good.
Well, that is one of the problems when they've created a system that is now overpriced and a rip-off, a scam.
People now overburden the system.
They want to get their money.
This is a fact.
fact i mean fact they go to the doctor when they don't need to they they feel obliged to use you know to spend some of this money that they get from the insurance companies it would in the drop of a hat and uh so they you know they're they overload the system it's terrible it's a bad thing all around i don't know And people always point to Europe and say, oh, look at how it's going there.
You know, Mickey's friends were over here two weeks ago.
And he's a, not a gynecologist, what's a skin doctor?
Dermatologist.
Dermatologist.
Yeah, everything to you.
Gynecologist doesn't make any difference.
And so here's how it works, because they basically have the system that is trying to be implemented here.
That changed, I think, three or four years ago in Gitmo Nation Lowlands, better known as the Netherlands.
And everyone had to get their own insurance company.
And of course, premiums went up.
We've already seen that happen.
And what it is, is the insurance companies no longer, it just became so complicated, they didn't want to pay per patient.
So what they say is, hospital, hospital, here's your annual budget.
So I'm just going to make up a number.
Here's $10 million for you, hospital, and you can spend that however you want.
So internally, immediately, there's all kinds of fighting going on between surgeons and the dermatologists and the gynecologists, who's worth more, etc., etc., At the end of the day, he winds up being able to work only three days a week because then he's basically spent his budget on what he can make as determined by the hospital who are paid by the insurance companies.
Which means they have to go and hire a whole second guy, and sometimes a third, who also are basically working part-time.
And everybody moans and groans about, you know, the Republicans are taking this wrong.
They moan and groan about the government getting involved in the medical system.
The government's not involved.
They gave it over to the insurance companies.
And they're a huge labyrinth of middlemen.
So all the prices have gone up because the insurance companies are taking profits.
They're public companies.
They have to make profits so they gouge everyone they can.
They have a huge bureaucracy within their own organization.
It's a complete disaster.
We never had this problem 30 years ago before the insurance companies took over the business.
No.
No.
And of course the drug companies see this as a bonanza because they can charge whatever they want.
Yep.
Yep.
Because they know it's going to get paid.
Oh boy, if only we could get Ron Paul in.
Well, you know, he's a gynecologist.
He is.
That's why I like him so much.
You know, we want our presidents to have seen all that poontang before they get into office.
Yeah.
Not have to be worrying about it while they're there.
It's like, oh, now I'm powerful.
Now I need to see it.
Ron Paul's like, you know, been there, done that, got the t-shirt, the DVD, and you know what?
It ain't all that.
It's complicated looking down there.
That's Ron Paul.
He was on Pierce Moron.
Did you see him on Pierce?
No, I missed that.
I love it when he's...
Because he knows Pierce is British, of course.
And I love it when he slams the Brits.
So Pierce comes out with like a total a-hole and then Ron Paul just like slaps it back in his face.
Really good.
Talking of competition, let me put my own doctor hat.
And if I was prescribing some medicine for you right now, Congressman, I think I would say the situation is looking pretty terminal for your race to be the GOP nominee.
Why don't you just do the decent thing and pull out?
Why are you staying in the race?
Why don't you do the decent thing and not pester me with silly questions like that?
Why?
Because...
I mean, that would be decent of you.
It wasn't that silly.
Hang on.
The latest Gallup poll has you at 9%.
Mitt Romney's at 39%.
Wait, wait, wait.
Now, why don't you...
What you're looking for are delegates.
Delegates?
And we're doing quite well.
We haven't even hardly gotten yet.
Well, let's see how well you're doing.
Mitt Romney, 568 delegates.
Ron Paul, 71.
Yeah, okay, what about the states where they're still working through the process, which is most of them?
You know, whether it's up in Maine, or right now we're doing very well in the state of Washington, and North Dakota, and excellent, and now in Nevada.
And even Missouri the other day, some really good news came out there for us.
It's through the process, our people are in the right places, and they're doing the things to become a delegate.
So it's way too soon for you to write anybody off.
And besides, I mean...
Just because somebody is in second or third place, but there's a race going on, what if Mitt Romney isn't the best person?
Why should we just throw in the towel?
Because people like you say, hey, throw in the towel.
People don't want you out there wanting to debate the war and wanting to debate the Federal Reserve and wanting to debate the civil liberties, you know, assassination of American citizens, the military arresting Americans.
You know, we fought the British because the British came over here and arrested our American citizens.
We're civil law.
So now we're going back to that.
You'd be fighting the British tonight, Congressman, and very effectively.
I don't want you to throw in the towel.
Ah, shut up.
Idiot.
I would have said, why don't you throw in the towel on this crummy show?
The thing is, and I know Doug Weed listens to the show.
There are lots of people in the Ron Paul campaign who listen to the show.
You know, the candidate...
The good doctor.
He is so kind.
And he smiles and he laughs.
But sometimes you gotta...
I agree, John.
You gotta pull out the sword and stick it in.
It's like, you know what?
I don't even know why I'm on this crummy piece of crap show.
I just looked at your ratings.
They're down 40% year over year, Pierce.
No one's want Porsche.
Your new name is Porsche, by the way.
Horse the Porsche.
It's horrible.
I'm not even coming on here and no one cares what you have to say.
And by the way, you're a crook.
You eavesdropped on people's phones and you ran an illegal organization under Murdoch, the biggest crook of them all.
What do you say to that?
Yeah, you should be running for something.
You know, what else is left?
What else is left for me but to run for something?
And you're going to run the campaign.
You're going to run the campaign.
Oh, by the way, John, the Hyundai auditions we did.
Yeah.
Remember?
Yeah.
On the last show.
And?
Well...
You got a callback?
No, crickets, nothing.
Oh, you didn't even get a callback?
No, nothing.
Not a single thing.
Not even a thanks for your tape.
Well, you know, I wanted to mention this because before we go to our little break to thank our producers, I did find a commercial from Toyota, maybe this is the reason they didn't like your surfer voice, where they do the whole commercial and then they cut to that voice.
Oh, no.
The voice I want you to do, the money voice.
They rip me off?
Even though in the olden days it used to be a big, deep voice used to be the money voice.
But this voice is the money voice.
All right.
It's getting crowded at Toyota's number one for every one sales event.
Why?
People know Toyota's the best.
2012 Toyota models have the best resale value of any brand.
Get it ready for it.
Plus, every new Toyota comes with ToyotaCare.
Complementary maintenance plan with roadside assistance.
With amazing deals, you're going to want to hurry in for this one.
Get big down payment matching deals on Highlander and RAV4. Plus, make no payments for 90 days or save with 0% APR financing.
Your chance to save big is now.
Hurry in today.
Yeah.
Mine was definitely better.
And that guy at the end?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, the guy at the beginning was a very just a nothing voice to me, but the guy at the end was the surfer voice, although I think you could have taken it up a notch.
Well, whatever we did, it got zero results.
I think that's the voice to go with, though.
I've heard that voice a couple years ago on the show.
That's when I discovered you could do that voice.
Let's listen one more time.
Let's just make sure we know it's good.
In fact, even though it was the second script, I put the surfer dude first on the audition tape.
Just to make sure they heard it.
Yeah, kick savings into overdrive at your Hyundai dealer and get a 2012 Santa Fe for 0.1.
I played that for Mickey in bed and she wet the bed.
She's like, that's so awesome!
She's like, you nailed it!
You nailed it!
Crickets.
Let's just face it, man.
Let's face it.
Maybe the cycle time.
You know, these are big companies.
Cycles are really long.
Yeah, sure.
Maybe a month before you hear back.
Sure.
No, no, no.
What's going to happen, this is the worst thing about doing these auditions, is then you see the commercial.
Because these are all national spots.
You know, I see the Sprint commercial.
I see the Old Navy commercial.
And then you turn on the television, it's in your face.
Loser.
You didn't get this, loser.
And you hear this guy with this It's a sappy voice who did get it.
It was rolling in the dough.
I mean, you know, a national spot like that could be like 30, 40 grand in a year.
Yeah.
Huge money.
Well, of course, it's very competitive, too, because of the money.
Well, we have a few people to thank for keeping us on the air.
We have a couple of executive producers and a slew of associates.
Nice.
So let's start by thanking Patrick Bennett, or Barnett, I'm sorry, Patrick.
Patrick Barnett in Incline Village, a tax haven.
Oh, yeah, it is.
That's where you go.
You don't want to pay taxes to California.
You know who lived there?
David Coverdale and Tawny Katane.
I visited them there once in Incline Village.
Yeah, it's beautiful there.
Well, actually, as far as I know, Bill Losey, very famous Silicon Valley personality, lived there.
He says...
I call him a ring hoarder because he says, send me a ring!
Oh, that's right, because we're ending him at the end of this year.
The way PayPal messes up so much, I wasn't even sure you'd see whatever I put in the box.
By the way, I have a real message.
I'm a huge fan of the show.
I hope you two can keep it going for a long while, yet don't be afraid to do up the crack pottery harder.
It's as much fun as media dissection.
I don't need any karma, no dedouching or anything, but if you wouldn't mind giving a shout-out to the No Agenda artists.
Oh, that's very nice.
They deserve it.
I wish I had their talent.
They do a great job.
And we agree with that.
Yeah, so let me give the artist some karma, even though he's not requesting it.
Our artists really do a great job.
Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can always upload your art.
Go take a look at all the pieces that are created.
And here's some karma for all the artists.
You've got karma.
Thank you so much.
And thanks so much, Patrick.
That's great.
Appreciate that executive producership.
Chris Wolfe in Mooresville, Indiana came in with $826, actually $826.15.
I don't know, I think JC put this, use microphone.
What am I supposed to do?
Yeah, he says, memo, read letter aloud to listeners, use microphone.
Do you have a letter?
He sent a long note in.
I'm going to read it.
And I'm going to read parts of it.
He sent us actually a couple of $5 bills, one from New Zealand and one from Australia, which are very interesting bills because they have holes...
Punched in them with cellophane and something printed on the cellophane over the hole so you can see through these bills.
I've never seen these bills before.
Very interesting counterfeit protection device, I guess.
Anyway, so he also sent us 2.23 ounce sovereigns.
Wow.
Which are worth about, he calculates.
$300?
Total of 783 the way he does it.
Yeah, two.
Almost a half an ounce.
Yeah, wow.
And so he adds it up.
He says, I'm sending this because about the bills.
If you go to Australia, you really need to go to New Zealand.
I got to see both last year, and both are fantastic.
So he came up with a donation of $826.15 with all these things, including a need for a podcast license.
So note that.
I will.
And didn't he also say, I think I read this note, didn't he also say that when gold hits $2,000, he'll be a knight?
Yeah, I'm getting to that.
The way I see it, by the way, if it goes down, if I was him, I'd just close the deal.
Yeah, because you don't want us to strip you of your producership now, do you?
The way I see it, I'm 173 short of a knighthood, so when gold hits 2034, you can become a...
You should try figuring out why you're drunk.
Now, the real gist of the letter.
I deserve to be douchebagged with this donation because I've been listening for quite a while and I'm just now donating because I need the karma.
So he needs douchebagging and a karma.
But actually, he has a complicated formula at the end.
So save it.
But we'll give him.
No, we'll do it all at the end.
He needs karma is to.
Carter and Deb Hutchinson from Zydeco's Cajun Restaurant right here in my town turned me on to the show and now my favorite way to listen is I put an Android phone in a Ziploc bag.
Listen while I take a shower.
I've got to try that.
That sounds good.
If you guys go to one show a week, then my shower frequency will diminish, and that's not good for anyone around me.
I recently retired, and I'm now going to try to pursue a career of a pauper musician that's trying to just get by.
You can see my stuff at chriswolfsongs.com.
That's chriswolf, W-O-L-F. It has a link to the greatest podcast in the universe.
We thank him for that.
Also, a couple years ago, my smoking hot wife's son had a buddy that said she was a MILF. She had never heard that term and got confused.
She came home and told me that her son's buddy called her a mofo.
No, it doesn't even sound like MILF. No.
So I would like an adios mofo, and that's one hot MILF for her, then wrap it up with a karma.
So here's what he wants.
He wants a, if you can do it, a douchebag, adios mofo, one hot MILF baby, which is the little kid, and then the karma.
Can you do that?
Okay, just give me the sequence again.
Okay, douchebag.
Yeah.
Adios mofo.
Yeah.
The baby saying the hot milk.
Yeah.
And a karma shot.
Okay.
Let me just grab it all here.
So we've got...
We only do it for the big dough.
Yeah.
Clearly.
All right.
Let me see if I can do this.
So it's mofo.
Okay.
Douchebag.
Adios, mofo.
That's one hot milk, baby.
You've got karma.
Nailed it.
Nailed it.
Outstanding.
That's what I do.
That's entertainment.
Right there.
Not for everyone, by the way, according to my inbox.
I'm never going to listen to the show again, man.
You play that MILF stuff, man.
My son walked in and heard MILF. We're requesting it.
We're not playing it on our own.
We work for our producers.
They tell us to do it, and we do it.
There you go.
That's the correct answer.
And it's the right way to work.
You work for the public.
You don't work for some suit that works at an executive office at NBC. Jason Dozier.
Dozier or Dozier?
Dozier and Dozier.
279.76 is a donation which completes his knighthood.
Thanks for keeping me paranoid and fatalistic.
We're all screwed.
But at least I'll see it coming.
I like that.
It's a good attitude.
It's a great attitude.
Adrian Verneuil.
Oh, very good.
Verneuil.
Very good.
And where's he from?
Meppel.
Meppel is very near the, they call it the Svarticausa.
The black socks, like the crazy religious people.
Oh, cool.
26969, bringing back our meme.
In the morning, John and Adam, here's 26969 for The Cause.
It's still available.
I'd like to hear the brilliant stinger from On The Case with Paula Zahn again.
I don't know if I can get that one.
What was that?
It was something that I dug up for some reason.
It was a long time ago.
I still can't seem to get it out of my mind.
You don't want to hear it again then.
If you could follow it up with a shot of karma from me and my sweet girlfriend, I'd really appreciate Adrian and the Meppel Netherlands.
Now, I'll go dig that up for a future show.
I think I can find it.
But whatever the case is, just give him a shot of karma.
You've got karma.
Wow, I'm looking in the system here.
It must be very, very old.
It probably was titled something stupid.
Yeah.
I'm always making editorial comments in the names of the files.
Yeah, it's not helpful.
It's a really bad habit I should stop doing.
Yeah, you're right.
Not helpful.
No, not at all.
This is another thing.
I'm going to probably do a column shortly on email etiquette.
People put the stupidest...
You can never look up their email by the subject because it's always, hey, read this, or something like that.
It's useless.
Or like you, you have been known to send emails to me without a subject.
But that's always a blunder.
That is a...
I mean, in fact...
Subject is the way you're going to get my attention.
It is the way.
Sir Dean Bertram, meanwhile, has gotten our attention.
He's from Accra in Ghana.
23456.
Good day, John and Adam.
Better late than never.
So here's my 419er Ghana SETI donation for the month, which today works out to 23456.
Honestly, I didn't tweak that result.
Keep up the good work.
Keep me informed and laughing because fuck all else does.
What?
Who cares?
Thank you.
All the best.
Thank you, Sir Dean.
Sir John Smith from St.
Petersburg, Florida.
Nice town.
$200.
Sorry for the drought.
Yet another argument with the IRS and a home improvement project that ran amok.
Thrust me into the depths of douchedom.
I should deliver a third night or abstain a second knighthood in the next few months.
Need some de-douching karma after licking my IRS slave wounds.
You've been deduced.
Carmen.
Tight.
And those are our executive and associate executive producers for show 395.
You can go to devorek.org slash na channel devorek.com slash na noagendashow.com and noagendanation.com and click on the donate buttons there if you can't get to devorek.org.
Dvorak.org slash NA. And before we move into the next portion of the show, we just had two quick little PR mentions.
Actually, I saw someone with the Curry Dvorak drone t-shirt that I'm waiting to see.
He silk screens them himself.
Send me a picture of them.
They're just beautiful, John.
And hopefully we'll be able to get those maybe at noagenetanation.com.
We do have two, as we're kind of winding down the domain name Fords as well, because these things are now expensive.
They're like 10 bucks.
And we'd rather just have the money.
But forwarding to noagendashow.com, pipelinesforprosperity.com, which I think is a very good domain.
That's a good one, yeah.
That's something we might want to do something with.
Yeah, there's a bunch of them we need to do something with.
Well, how about this one?
The Associated Forces of Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, the domain name is assforces.com.
I like it just as a short URL. I mean, just assforces.com.
Yeah, Art, you're a sick puppy in Lancaster.
Ass forces.
Ass forces.
Here they come!
I think we should just say, hey, this show you're doing, this podcasting, where can I... Oh, just go to assforces.com.
Oh, all right.
We profusely thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for keeping us on the air today.
This is very, very good.
I know you don't want me to be doing any more of these horrible surfer dude spots, but we will resort to those types of measures if we absolutely must.
But for now, we're feeling pretty good, and we'll be thanking more people later on in the program.
And of course, these are real credits, not like the phonies in Hollywood.
If you want us to vouch for you, all you have to do is shoot us and know we'll be happy to talk to anybody who needs it.
And there's always our formula, which you need to go out and propagate.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Real.
World.
Order.
Shut up!
Oh, Redbook, Redbook, Redbook, Redbook, Redbook.
Redbook.
Yes?
I'm looking for the official documentation for the complaint filed at the European Union Starfleet Command, but the twin brother of Poland, the Polish president, who died in the 2010 plane crash in Russia, said on Wednesday, this looks not like accident, but like assassination!
They have, in fact, now exhumed three of the 96 bodies.
Apparently there were explosions on board before the plane came down.
And this is of course the twin brother of the President Kaczynski.
He's saying this was a total assassination.
Listen to this on the autopsy reports.
There are all kinds of mistakes.
One describes one body whose person should have had organs that had been removed.
They were not.
Another one was a discrepancy of 20 centimeters in the height of this person on the autopsy.
It's like, who knows if they even buried the same bodies?
So Poland is going to start...
This is going to get in disarray over all this.
And I'm looking for the official documents.
If anybody can help me find them.
Because I know he said this.
In fact, here's his exact quote.
A couple of quotes he has.
If there were explosions on board, this catastrophe looks increasingly like an assassination.
And this means there is a new quality...
To international politics.
He called on EU lawmakers and leaders to investigate the crash, arguing that it's a matter of importance, not only to Poland.
Yeah, no kidding.
How did the foreign minister, he says, know just a few minutes after 9am that everybody had died?
And a few minutes later, he already knew it was a result of pilot error.
He said this was a complete propaganda campaign, which had been planned earlier.
Yeah, well...
Is the bandwidth so slow in Poland that it takes them that long to download our shows from 2010?
We spotted that right off the day of.
Yeah, but now it's like actual inquiry.
So if anyone can help me find the actual documents.
But this is what we said from the second it happened.
Well, not only that, but I think we did have that one clip that disappeared.
We still have the clip, of course, but it disappeared from the...
Oh, with the people getting shot?
Yeah, there were guys getting shot.
Hey, you survived the plane crash.
Get killed in the crash.
Shoot him.
Got him.
Like a Monty Python bit.
So while we stick with aviation for a second, I don't know much about nothing.
I do know a little bit about the aviation world.
And of course, the big distraction of the week.
It's great.
Don't look over here.
Nothing to see here.
Look at that.
What?
It's getting funnier when they describe what was going on.
I mean, have you read the whole report where they describe what his actions were and what he starts saying?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And now they're blaming...
I'll just throw this in so you can use it because it tells what your analysis is.
But we have a local talk show guy.
Yeah.
And unfortunately, it was in the car when I was listening to this, whose brother...
Works for JetBlue.
And he's also an aviation nut like you, the talk show guy.
And he says on the bulletin boards, he says the guy was selling some multi-level marketing juice.
And a lot of people are blaming the juice because he apparently went on to it as his full-time dietary.
That's all he drank for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was this some sort of screwy drink.
That's a good one.
And he wasn't getting enough nourishment, and eventually he started having hallucinations drinking this crap.
And that's what the result, and we're not hearing much about that.
That's a very good one.
I didn't know about that, and I will take that into sincere consideration.
I'll look into this juice that he was selling.
So, just to set the stage here, you know, it's been over 10 years since 9-11, and only now, we're now into year 11, do we have, first we had a flight attendant freak out, yelling similar things, and now we have a captain freaking out.
Lots of experience.
This guy's not a slouch like Johnny Gum lately.
No, Ms.
Mickey nailed it right off the bat.
There's one thing I know about the aviation crowd.
We're smokers.
I think there is a...
If you were to do a survey, which probably has never been done, you would find that flight attendants and flight crews smoke.
And the reason for that is it's a boring life.
And, you know, what you wind up doing is hanging around airports a lot, and you smoke.
Of course, you can't smoke everywhere anymore.
And Miss Mickey said, Shantix...
Yeah, it could be.
I like the Shantix story, too.
And I'm like, you know, they've just upped their campaign.
I'm seeing more of their commercials again.
Remember, Ms.
Mickey was on Shantix, and she says it was.
I mean, people have killed their neighbors on Shantix.
We haven't talked about it for a while, but it's one of our basic themes of the show for new listeners, is that Shantix is problematic, big time.
Yeah, and it's the kind of thing that I believe...
You can't be on Prozac.
And you can't be on all these other psychotropic drugs without reporting it.
And so I'm sure some of them don't report it.
You know, you don't have to have a medical every week, so there's all kinds of ways around that.
So it could be a variation of that, but the simplest...
You know, Occam's Razor to me is, there's a lot of smoking going on in aviation, and that's why, you know, you're going to get grouchy, you can't smoke, you know, you take your Shantix or you try it out, and you freak out.
How many cases have we had of people killing their neighbors?
Or waking up, you know, three days later, naked in someone's backyard, not knowing how they got there.
This sounds pretty consistent with what happened.
And, of course, conveniently, there's a backup pilot.
It's a plane full of cops and security guys on the way to a security conference.
Yeah, that'll make it tough.
Yeah, well, that kind of gave me the...
All aboard, trains good, planes bad.
Woo!
Because, of course, you know, if we just had drone planes, then we wouldn't have this problem at all.
These pilots are just pesky.
I knew you were going to bring that up.
I should mention, by the way, the FAA did ban Shanteks for flight personnel under all circumstances.
Are you sure about that?
I'm looking at the report.
It came 2008 is when they did the ban.
And the FAA sent a letter to pilots and controllers advising them not to undertake their duties for at least 72 hours after taking Shantix.
So that's not the same as a ban?
No, okay.
Alright, that's not the same thing.
By the way, can I just say one thing?
Please, stop sending me the stupid story about the taco drone.
It is a dumb story.
It is promotion for the taco joint.
This is really irking me.
I've got to get it off my chest.
The FAA will not have any civilian drone regulations in place until 2014, okay?
So everything you're hearing is a lie, bullcrap, and hype.
Except for the Curry-Dvorak Drone Corporation, which of course is going to be licensed, legal, and fully compliant.
And we will be available for birthdays, bar mitzvahs, and bris.
Well, talking about hypes, you're using the media...
And nobody sent you anything complaining about this because it's so important.
But hiring our heroes is all over the news.
And I have a couple clips which are ludicrous.
But hiring our heroes, if you look into it, is a guy, I believe his name is Ron Barr, who did helmets to hard hats before this.
This rings a bell, this name, Ron Barr.
Yeah, well, unfortunately, there's a million people named Ron Barr, including a famous congressman, which I think is what the problem is.
Anyway, this is an employment agency, plain and simple.
They charge more than Craigslist charges, even though they make it sound as though nobody's paying anything because it's a big public service, and it's a publicity stunt.
That was just, it just blew me away how effective it was.
I mean, this was beyond the taco thing.
I mean, it was on all the talk shows.
It was on all the news shows.
And I have two clips, one from the Today Show or Good Morning America, one of the two.
Today Show.
Going on and on about it.
Also coming up, we're going to be talking about our Hiring Our Heroes initiative.
It's across all the platforms of NBC News.
We're telling Americans to consider, especially companies, to consider hiring our veterans, not just as an act of charity, but rather as an opportunity, because these guys are coming back with so many great skills.
These guys and gals are coming back with great skills that can bring grit to our country's businesses.
Anyway, this time we're going to meet some of these veterans companies.
We need grit.
And while they were reading that copy, they were showing the stupidest clips of some woman in the army carefully examining somebody's, the way they had their straps on, and poking them and pulling them, and it was just like, yeah, yeah, this is really meaningful.
And anyway, so then you go to the nightly news, which has got to be the number, one of the top draws for, you know, total audience.
You know, network news, even though the demos are terrible, but it's beside the point.
Hiring our heroes, they brought Tom Brokaw back to talk about it.
I'm Tom Brokaw, and I think we should hire our heroes.
And the deaths and the emotional stress of being in military combat.
And yet, as I said tonight on Nightly News, you and I have both been over there, and we both know, you take an Army Sergeant Major, they can do just about anything in the world, and they've been asked to over there.
Why wouldn't you want them on your payroll?
We would, and they are trained to be highly motivated to manage risk, to assess risk, to be mission-oriented, to work as a team.
That doesn't automatically transfer into a lot of businesses in America.
One of the banks hired a hot Major, for example, stuck him in a cubicle and after six months he said, it's not working out.
They said, of course not.
This is a guy who's used to leading teams of people to specific missions.
So there's adjustment on both sides that is required.
So is this the U.S. Chamber of Commerce who is doing this?
No, it is a single company.
It is an employment agency that came up with this name, and they had a good public relations operative, pushed this stuff out there because it's so patriotic.
There's nothing connected to anything else.
What's the name of the company?
Hiringourheroes.org.
It is an employment agency.
I just want to...
Okay, Hiring Our Heroes.
Let me just see who it is.
Board of Directors.
Let me just see who it is.
But are they a non-profit?
Well, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce came up with the name.
But the Hiring Our Heroes, I mean, this website is the thing that's interesting because it's an employment agency.
I haven't gotten a connection with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has a Hiring Heroes thing that's sponsored by Bank One and some other things.
But it's the employment agency that's the interesting one because that's the one that comes up as the.org.
And it's just, and I believe they're the ones behind the publicity because it's too slick.
So I have their, they are a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
And I'm looking at their form 990.
Well, they only have their, this is their 2009, which is, so they're behind.
Well, that's very interesting.
Let me just see.
I just go down to the main donors real quick.
I know how to do this.
I'm pretty good at it.
They get a lot of donations.
Okay, the one I'm looking at actually is the HireAHero.org.
Oh, okay.
And that's also sponsored by UCLA Discover, AXA Insurance, Andrews, which is some sort of a company.
I don't know.
Let me see who they are.
No, it doesn't say.
Oh, they're just Andrews International.
They're actually looking for people.
Okay.
Actually, the job listings in Hire a Hero are...
Well, now, let me just say one thing off the bat.
I would hire any...
If I had a job to give out, I would definitely hire someone who's been in the service.
Yeah, but what I'm complaining about is the exploitation here.
It's total exploitation.
But, again, are these non...
So this HireAHero.org, are these...
Is this also a non-profit?
Yes.
Well, it's a.org, but that doesn't mean anything.
No, but I'm just going to take a look here.
Let me see.
So they don't have any information about themselves.
Oh, yeah, it is a 501c3 corporation, but I don't see any financials.
That's always very dodgy when they don't have that on their website.
Okay.
Well, I think I don't know if I have a point to make.
Go to Craigslist if you're looking for a job.
They don't charge as much to get the job.
There's not some underlying greasiness about the whole thing.
If you want to do something good, we have, and this was something else that was on C-SPAN, which I watched all of, Why don't we get rid of the 60,000 numb-knuckles who work at the TSA, the Transportation Security Administration?
It's 60,000, of which 10,000 are administrators.
So we've got 10,000 to manage the other 50,000.
And they're a bunch of bungling, numb-knuckle idiots.
I would much rather...
And put them in their real uniform.
I would much rather have military personnel who know how to do this and are consistent and actually do know how to treat human beings as human beings than the idiots not only who are working there but are running the joint.
Did you catch any of this of the committee on the TSA? Oh, I missed it.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
Is there any new stuff that happened?
Two interesting things.
One about Viper Team, which I think is interesting.
Of course, we know that Micah, the last time you had some clips, when we had a previous conversation, this was actually when John Pistol said, oh, I'm going to reorganize, make it better, it's all going to be fantastic, it's going to be great.
And Micah laid into him again?
Oh yeah, listen to this.
But instead, as this committee report today reviews, we have a number of programs that are so far behind.
One I'd like to talk about is the TWIC program, Transportation Worker Identification Card.
It's spent hundreds of millions of dollars.
It's still in limbo.
Some of the equipment that's been purchased does not do the job.
I know we can't talk about all of it here in this open setting.
You remember that he couldn't talk about it, right?
Because it doesn't work.
None of this stuff works, but he can't talk about that, and that's why he keeps alluding to it, which is funny.
But the deployment and acquisition of expensive equipment that's supposed to protect us, which wasn't properly tested, vetted...
And the deployment could have probably been done better by a high school class project.
TSA has had five administrators in nine years.
We had a period under the Obama administration in which we had no administrator for almost a year.
It's difficult enough with an agency like TSA or any other federal agency to operate with an administrator in Washington, let alone not having an administrator for that period of time.
So let's get into the stuff that doesn't work and how the TSA tried to hide it.
I have other concerns, having monitored this as closely as anyone in Congress.
We are still at risk.
The nation is still at risk.
Unfortunately, even the layered system, and TSA will talk to you about a layered system.
Almost every layer is just flawed.
The behavior detection, which...
Worked with previous administrators to put in when we had equipment that didn't work.
TSA again bought equipment that didn't work.
By the way, from the former Department of Homeland Security boss, what's his name again, from L3? Chirtoff.
Chirtoff, yes.
Chirtoff.
Bought all of the stuff from that guy.
Inside job.
Didn't work.
Got stored in a warehouse.
Just following that equipment, the puffers.
The puffers.
Remember those, John?
Yeah, he brought that up the last time.
He loves to write about the puffers.
I've had my investigative staff follow that.
They sat and we were paying rent on them in a warehouse.
This was before, of course, we brought in Abdul Fareed Mitalib.
Remember, we had all that stuff sitting in the warehouse and we couldn't install it.
It was nowhere to go.
And then we had the underwear bomber and then all of a sudden we had all this advanced imaging technologies.
And Mike is laying it out very nicely.
I'm not going to play the rest of it because it just goes into how angry he is about it.
But he does say...
Nobody pays any attention to this.
It's really pathetic.
Well, he asked the greatest question.
What is the only question that matters?
And it wasn't even his question that came through Facebook.
What is the only question you want to ask of the TSA? Have you caught any criminals?
That would be the question I'd ask.
And that was actually a question that was submitted by one of the Floridians.
We had open question online that we allowed people.
Can you name any terrorists that you've actually stopped in the program?
We're not aware of any terrorists transiting a checkpoint where BDOs were actively working.
We're not aware of any terrorist transiting videos.
No.
No, not a single terrorist you could name.
Then we have Representative or Senator Cohen of Tennessee.
And he asks a very good question.
Let me ask you this.
Today, for the first time, I was asked to take off my watch.
Why?
Why?
Now, John, have you been asked to take off your watch at the TSA? I have.
Have you been asked to take off your watch?
Well, I don't wear a watch, but I've been asked to remove one sheet of paper that was in my pocket.
Did you know that you don't even have to take off your watch?
No, I didn't know that.
Really?
Well, I clearly wasn't there with you.
It's possible that our divest officer, the individual who's working to facilitate the travel of customers, might have felt that it would alarm and that you might have had an easier experience by removing it, but you're not required to remove your watch.
Oh, really?
Well, they made it to, like, everybody.
It was very required.
He goes in, he's like, do I have to put my shoes on the belt?
Why can't I put them in the bin?
And then the guy from the TSA says, no, you couldn't put them in the bin, that's not a problem.
Well, how come there's a sign in Tennessee that says you cannot put them in the bin?
What?
Every place else makes you put them in the bin.
So this was a big point of what these guys were saying, and I thought, except for that a-hole, that Democrat, I can't remember his name, Old black guy with a big head.
Oh, that guy.
Cummins, I think.
Cummins, that's it.
From Georgia.
The guy is a pathetic person for being a shill.
It's absolutely sickening.
Why do they keep voting him in?
I don't know.
Now we have...
And this is the final one I'll play.
Representative Blackburn, Congresswoman Blackburn, and she's, I think, from Tennessee.
You remember last year, they had the Viper team stopping trucks on the Tennessee roadway?
Yeah, for no apparent reason.
So I've clipped out the whole intro where she says, the only thing they had asked for permission, it went to her office, they were supposed to be handing out flyers...
To make people aware.
That's the only thing.
They have no training as federal law enforcement.
They have no search vehicle training.
They have no authority.
The only thing they could do was hand out flyers.
But, of course, we know that's what they were doing.
They were walking around, strutting their stuff, like, hey, I got a fake badge.
I'm a hotshot.
Yeah, I'm a junior GI man.
I got it in the cereal box.
And she's got pictures, and she nails this Christopher McLaughlin guy from the TSA on the Viper roadblocks.
If you look at these posters, I'll call that one Exhibit A. And if you were watching the video of this transaction, you would see that this individual who is designated as a TSA employee is walking around and inspecting the truck.
So if they were supposed to be handing out brochures, what were they doing inspecting the truck, and what type training do the TSOs and the BDOs receive to detect abnormalities or potential threats in semi-trucks?
Mr.
McLaughlin?
Moe Laughlin.
Thank you.
First, the Viper that you referenced in your state of Tennessee, it's important to note, was a joint training exercise with 23 different agencies.
Can you even mention 23 different agencies?
Are you kidding?
Holy crap!
23?
I mean, how many are there?
Doing what?
We're paying them?
It's an exercise.
Well, let's continue to listen.
It turns out there was only one...
Entity authorized...
There probably wasn't even 23 guys in that exercise, if I'm not mistaken.
So how do you have 23 agencies?
No, there were a lot of guys there.
There were a lot of people.
Were there that many, 23?
Yeah, I'm sure there were.
One from each agency, apparently.
But as it turns out, there was only one entity that had the qualifications.
That's the punchline, which you'll love at the end of this clip.
Shut up.
Shut up!
Shut up!
Sir, you're using my time, but I would just ask what type of training do they have to actually do these inspections and to detect the abnormalities that would be there on our nation's highways because they have no federal law enforcement training, correct?
Sure.
During this exercise, the officers did not conduct any screening of any vehicles, nor a driver.
Let me put up poster number two.
Then why did they ask to open the top of this truck and look?
Was there a specific threat?
To Tennessee highways on October 20, 2011.
And was there any intelligence suggesting that a suspected terrorist may be driving a semi-truck across Tennessee?
And were there specific threats that were deterred by conducting this operation?
While I can't talk about threats that might have been deterred, I can tell you again that this was a training exercise, not an exercise based on active intelligence in the state.
Okay.
Okay, here it comes.
Mr.
Sadler, do you have anything to add to that?
I don't know.
No, ma'am.
You don't?
Well, there again, I want to go back to this question.
What kind of specific training do they have to be on the nation's highways conducting these kind of searches?
Now, of all of these 23 agencies, John, who do you think actually had the credentials to do this type of search?
I would think maybe the FBI or perhaps the local police.
Oh man, it's so much better than that.
TSOs and BDOs do not receive specific training with regard to screening vehicles in the highway mode of transportation.
The canine team that I believe that I see up there, although it's from a distance, appears to be a multimodal dog that is trained.
It's a multimodal dog!
He's trained!
The dog!
One dog is the leader?
The dog!
Take me to your leader!
Woof!
Woof!
In that mode of transportation.
That mode of transportation.
So even though our word...
She just goes on.
So the dog, it looks like we have a multimodal dog there.
I gotta get me one of those.
Is that a full-bred multimodal dog?
What does that even mean?
Multimodal.
That means you can smell more than one thing.
And you know these dogs are trained to lie.
Yes, we know that for a fact.
It's a fact because...
They'll lay on, you know, you give them a little signal and say, yeah, yeah, there's drugs in here.
You can bust it open.
Yeah, like they did with Miss Mickey and me.
Yeah, the dogs are trained to lie.
We've discussed this and shown evidence, and people have talked about this.
I've had this happen when we were driving from California to Austin, and the dog almost jumped through Miss Mickey's window.
You got drugs?
You know?
Hey, son, you know that drugs, marijuana is not illegal in the state of Texas?
Yeah?
Yo, we're going to have to search your car!
Because the dog said so.
Because the dog said so.
I mean, hey, your dog sucks, dude.
Your dog doesn't know shit.
He didn't get anything.
There was nothing.
And I haven't been near weed for three years.
There's nothing.
It was completely bogus.
The dog was trained to lie.
And I think they just looked at Mickey and went...
Well, yeah, it's a time killer.
What else are you going to do?
We got to strip search, you lady.
Well, you know, I told you she had to pee there, right?
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I forgot about that.
Maybe I did.
She had to pee in the cell.
I had to pee in the cell.
Yeah, and they had cameras on her the whole time.
Really?
Well, of course.
These guys are a bunch of perverts.
They thought she might be, you know, dumping the drugs or something.
I know.
She's so innocent.
She doesn't even think about that.
Well, most Americans have put up with all those crap.
Well, if she was an American citizen, I wouldn't have put up with it.
But, you know, she has no rights.
So I went to...
Well, you're listening to C-SPAN. I'm watching C-SPAN, but I'm watching some of the crap that they show.
And so I got this clip of a classic congressional vote.
Now, there was a big deal.
It was one of those amendments to some bill, and the guy, yeah, you guys, no, we can't do a voice vote.
We have to vote.
We have to vote on this.
Does anybody agree?
We must second the vote.
We got to vote.
We must vote.
So everyone gets their name on there, right?
Yeah.
So here's the results of the vote.
On this vote, the yeas are zero, and the nays are 414.
The amendment is not adopted.
Ha, ha, ha.
Zero!
The guy didn't even vote himself!
It's Mulvaney from South Carolina.
Why do you keep voting this guy in?
Demands this vote.
He doesn't himself even vote.
Yes!
It should have been 400 against one.
It was none.
What is this stuff, man?
What is wrong with these people?
I've got to run.
I've got to run.
I can do this so much better.
Let me ask you a question, John, as a constitutional scholar.
If I run for Congress, and maybe I should run for Senate, I don't know, but Congress seems a little bit easier.
Because there's more chance.
More chance of getting in.
I don't have to be in Washington all the time, do I? No, of course not.
But you have to be there.
In fact, you don't have to vote on everything.
You don't have to vote at all.
But they do hold it against you if the next guy comes.
He never's there.
He never votes.
Well, could I do any good?
I mean, would it do any good if I was in there?
Besides showing that...
Good for the show.
Good point.
Coming to you from the Capitol!
That'd be kind of cool, wouldn't it?
I'd like to watch the very slow corruption of Adam Curry.
Oh, please.
All of a sudden, you started becoming one of them.
Oh, really?
I don't think so.
It could happen.
It happens to all these guys.
Nah.
Look at Al Franken.
The guy takes himself so seriously now, it's ridiculous.
Yeah.
He used to be joking around, say cute things.
Now he's nothing.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, but don't you basically just take a whole bunch of meetings with your constituents and then try and help them out?
Isn't that kind of the deal?
Yeah, there's a lot of that, and that's probably the good part.
Yeah, but I'll just do the meetings here.
But you should have the meetings where you should be.
I think these guys should be at home more often so they can find out what's going on locally.
Being in Washington, D.C. is a terrible bubble.
I mean, it's creepy.
I mean, when you visit Washington, D.C., which I recommend people do, and by the way, the National Gallery is outstanding.
But anyway, you go to the Washington, and the Smithsonian is fun.
But you go to Washington, D.C., and you start to get the sense that this is, the entire thing is a non-productive black hole.
There's nothing manufactured or done there.
It's just, and it's weird, it starts to make you, you know, you start to have ticks out.
After you're there a few days.
That's good because I'd go in having the tick.
Who knows how you'd come out.
That's good.
Well, if I could make a difference, I'd do it.
But I don't know if it would be any good.
At least we could eliminate one idiot.
That would do some good.
That's a start, right?
That would be my ticket.
One idiot, put in another one.
Yeah, just remove one idiot and get a fresh idiot in there.
Look, I already got ticks.
Look at me.
I'm interesting to look at.
That's why you should vote for me.
And you have a mellifluous voice.
Yeah.
And I can be my surfer dude when I do my five minutes.
Yeah.
It's like, hey man, we don't want the NDAA, man!
You can't be drone and citizens!
I could probably cause a ruckus.
Yeah, you'd probably get censored.
They wouldn't call on you.
They have their way.
Speaking of idiots...
There's three idiots I have in a row here that I'd like to play.
You know all of them by name.
The first one would be Joe O'Biden, who was doing a speech about, I forget where he was, some company I'm sure that's getting money from the government.
And he's like, oh, this is great, these American companies, this is where the jobs are, blah-de-blah-de-blah-de-blah.
And then he thanks Terry and some other guy, Dr.
Paper.
And here's how it came out of his pie hole.
...what the companies need.
And it's all over the country, from Tennessee to North Carolina to Michigan, Ohio, New Hampshire.
And it's working.
So let me say it again.
Thank you, Terry.
And thank you, Dr.
Pepper.
And thank you, Dr.
Paper.
I want to thank the Hamburglar.
I want to thank Ronald McDonald and Dr.
Pepper.
And the audience is snickering.
Thank you, Dr.
Pepper.
I mean, Dr.
Paper.
That's all the guy's thinking.
I was like, I wish I had a Dr.
Pepper right now.
I can't believe I'm standing here doing this crap.
Then we had the, and you saw virtually none of this.
And in fact, it took me a while to find some video clips.
We had the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, Korea.
And what a puppet show, man.
Wow, wow, wow.
I watched the Korean...
Where'd you get this?
On the eu.int.
They have Korean coverage, actually, and I finally was able to find one with the original soundtrack, because you get a lot of overdubs from the Koreans reporting on it.
And it was really, it was quite hilarious.
I mean, the only thing, the only thing we saw in America was the open mic gaffe that the president made, where he said to Dmitry Medvedev, he said, hey man, you know, like, I can hook you all up, you know, I can score good for you after these elections, but I gotta like suck up to everybody right now.
And then Medvedev says, you know, hey man, I'll pass it on to Vladi, no problem, brother.
So that's all there.
That's the only thing we saw.
And no analysis of it, by the way.
It doesn't need to be.
These things are scripted.
Totally scripted.
Totally scripted.
Because then you don't listen to what he actually said.
Did you know that our president is an expert on nuclear arms?
No, I had no idea.
He's probably a tech expert, too.
He's a big Twitter user.
Only when it says BO is it his actual tweet, otherwise it's the team.
So I want you to listen to this, about 50 seconds, and just imagine Colin Powell holding up a little vial.
...nuclear materials, and in some cases, getting rid of these materials entirely.
And as a result, more of the world's nuclear materials will never fall into the hands of terrorists who would gladly use them against us.
Just so you know, tears with these materials.
Gladly.
Gladly.
Hey, I just found some nuclear materials.
What would nuclear materials be, John?
Is that a bomb?
Or is that just some uranium?
Uranium, or it could be plutonium.
Now, if we just found some uranium lying around, be like, hey, John, I got some uranium.
This nuclear materials.
This does not a bomb maketh overnight, okay?
Apparently it's not that simple to make a bomb, but terrorists, if they found these nuclear materials, would gladly use it against us.
Let's hear more.
Of course, what's also undeniable...
Undeniable!
...is that the threat remains.
It remains.
There are still too many bad actors...
On CSI. That's right.
We agree there are too many bad actors on television.
Especially on NBC. Yes, NBC is the worst actors.
...in search of these dangerous materials.
Materials.
These dangerous materials are still vulnerable in too many places.
It would not take much.
Ah!
Just a handful...
John!
Just a handful of nuclear materials and we're all going to die!
Or so of these materials to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
Woohoo!
And that's not an exaggeration.
That's the reality that we face.
It's a fact!
And that's why what's required continues to be a serious and sustained effort and why I'm so encouraged by the excellent participation today, which is, again, a testimony to President Lee's...
Right.
Now that is, I mean, you just got to think, because they're sitting in that big circle, and they're getting a little delay, because they all get their headphones on.
They just got to be going like, what an idiot.
What an incredible douche.
It makes no sense to say these things.
Just a handful.
A handful of nuclear materials kills hundreds of thousands of people.
It's just not true.
I have no idea what he's talking about.
Then we have Ben Bernanke.
Ben Bernanke was on, and this will wind up my elites are douchebags segment, getting a real blowjob from Diane Sawyer on the compromised ABC News, as of course he basically helped the value of our gold coins we receive today go up by alluding to another infusion of cash in QE3. And he is the guy who steered us through,
he shepherded us through the stormy waters of the financial precipice crisis in 2008.
And there's the couch that he slept on.
I swear to God this was in this whole piece.
This is the famous couch.
Yes, that's the couch.
I didn't leave this office because we were about to all die and I saved the universe.
Are you going to create a museum with a couch in it?
I hope so.
For me to poop on.
You were man of the year.
Said you were the most powerful nerd in America.
Did you take offense at that?
I'm very proud of my nerddom.
The world needs more nerds.
Nerds, you know, create jobs and advance science and, I hope, make good economic policy, but that remains to be seen.
What an insult to nerds of the universe.
You're not a nerd, Ben Bernanke.
You're a turd, okay?
What an insult.
I'm a nerd.
I'm an excellent nerd.
Yes, I'm a nerd, and I hope I make good economic policy decisions.
You're a thief.
Diane Sawyer just seems to get worse and worse.
I think she was hammered again.
So, that's, you know, and the elites love this.
You know, for Diane Sawyer to come to his office, you know.
He's definitely a publicity hound.
That's what I should call him.
I've never seen a guy this often that's been in that position.
Have you ever noticed when he's talking, his mouth quivers?
Yeah, he shakes, and the first time I saw him, he also has a very, he doesn't, you know, he needs to drink more water.
I think he's dehydrated.
Uh-oh, that's not good.
You know what happens when you get dehydrated?
Before you know it, you're running around naked in San Diego with your schlong hanging out, pounding the pavement.
As it were.
That would be funny, by the way, if Bernanke did that.
That would be a video I'd like to see on YouTube.
So, I got this interesting note from one of our producers who has asked me to keep his identity anonymous.
I'd like to read this to you.
Because we think this Iran thing is about oil.
And I think he's in the...
I don't want to say where he's from.
I'll just read his note.
Hey, Adam, I have to start by saying you cannot quote me on this.
Okay.
Oh, there you have it.
Well, you're not quoting him.
You're reading an anonymous note.
That's right.
So I think that's legal.
I'm at the UK Info Crime Summit.
This is the kind of people we have in our audience.
Yeah.
I love this.
Whenever I hear someone on the inside, I love it.
We just had a presentation from a guy called David Shore from Pfizer, and he was presenting about counterfeit medicines.
Oh yeah, this is a horrible problem.
You have no idea.
He introduced himself as having worked in security, quote, for the UK government before joining Pfizer, described himself as a, quote, bombs and bullets guy.
Can you just imagine?
I'm a bombs and bullets guy working for Pfizer now.
He said he made this very same presentation to Congress in 2006.
The talk was heavy on the people are dying rhetoric, initially lots of pictures of drug labs, but soon became entirely about drugs with active ingredients that are made just to look like brand name drugs.
So this of course is the generics issue where you can get the nuclear materials you need to make these drugs, but of course you can't really make a little purple pill and put Viagra on it and say it's Viagra, but it's happening.
Our inside source tried to get a copy of his slide presentation, but they called the Charter House rules over the whole event.
What are the Charter House rules?
Do you know what that is?
Oh, I haven't got a clue.
What are you doing?
Are you just walking away?
No, I had to go to the other computer to pick up a file that I need to read.
Okay, let me see.
Charter House rules.
I don't know.
Let me look it up in the book of knowledge.
Maybe it refers to something.
Something secret.
Something secret.
The most interesting...
Oh, you know what?
I bet you it has to do with some secrecy thing, these meetings they don't have.
Here, what exactly are Charter House rules?
So I guess it goes around.
And apparently this is something that takes place in Europe.
Best answer.
It means the first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club.
Yeah, you don't.
Charterhouse rules.
All right.
There's really no known.
Carthusian monasteries are known for charterhouses.
No.
All right.
Well, here we go.
Free talking time.
Here we go.
Oh, I got it.
Free talking time.
When you're doing free talking, you're yakking away.
You can't.
Oh, it's like Bilderberg.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
Just say it.
A lot of these clubs, you're not supposed to say what happened.
Just say it's like Bilderberg.
I got it.
The most interesting and relevant point came out of all this, that Iran is currently seen as the largest source of counterfeit drugs.
Viagra specifically was used as an example, with Iran being responsible for buying the most amount of sildenafil.
Sildenafil, was that the active ingredient?
I don't know.
Sildenafil, citrate.
Last year they bought 22,000 kilos.
Apparently, the Viagra that can be made from that is worth 140,000 euros per kilo.
Do you think that's enough to go to war over?
I say, yeah.
Oh, so the thesis here.
It's not about oil.
This is the drug company.
It's the drug company.
I like it.
This is kind of crackpotty, but it's funny.
Well, do the calculation.
140,000 euros per kilo times 22,000 kilos.
Well, do I have to bring up my calculator?
Don't you have your abacus?
The abacus is downstairs in a frame as decoration.
Yeah, but I like the whole idea of you just on an abacus.
So we have 140...
Wait, I'm going to do it in dollars.
140,000 euros times 1.33, if you can believe it.
That's 186,200 times 2...
22,000 is...
I mean, how many zeros is that?
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1...
It's over 4 billion dollars.
That's peanuts compared to the oil income.
Or is it $40 billion?
Hold on.
Give me the numbers again.
I've got my calculator.
Okay.
$140,000 per kilo.
Okay, wait.
$140,000 per kilo.
Okay.
Yeah, times 1.33 to get into dollars.
Well, I'm going to skip that part.
Okay.
Go on.
And so it's 22,000 kilos.
Okay.
Times 22, 1, 2, 3.
And that would be...
Is it 4 billion or 40 billion?
I think it's 4.
1, 2, 3.
I think it's 4 billion.
No!
Way wrong.
It's 308, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4.
No, it's 300.
It looks more like 3 trillion.
There you go!
There you go.
Let me get the zeros here.
One, two...
Yeah.
Three trillion dollars.
Three trillion...
Euros.
Euros.
Which is like...
Or it could be three billion.
Hold on a second.
I still think...
I think I'm bad on that.
Does anyone...
No, I think it's...
It's a billion.
It's three billion.
It's not much.
No, but that's only Viagra.
Remember, we've got all these other things, you know, so...
Well, it does explain why the...
Why the Pfizer guy is there.
Yeah, it explains why the Pfizer guy is there.
And it explains why they're always saying, hey, these guys, you know, they're giving Viagra to their army so they can rape civilians.
That may be the reason why that's always in there.
It actually may have been taking place.
It might actually be happening.
Yeah.
Maybe we were wrong all along about the Viagra scam.
They were just, because they make so much of it, they were just bombing it.
It's like they just put it in your cereal.
Wow.
That's interesting though, isn't it?
That's 3 billion.
It's not that much.
Yeah, it's almost 4 billion.
It's like 4 billion.
Yeah, 3 billion euros.
I've gone over to the euro.
But that's just Viagra.
Then we have Cialis.
I'm sure that's another equal amount.
We have, you know, what do we have?
We've got Lipitor.
We've got all this groovy stuff.
I'm sure they're making a ton of it.
Yeah, and probably in pretty good facilities.
That's the thing they keep showing.
You know those satellite pictures?
This is the new thing.
We show satellite pictures.
This is the underground bunker.
They're not making bombs.
They're making Viagra.
And they're too embarrassed to admit it.
Yeah, let's make it about nuclear weapons.
No wonder they're in violation of all the international copyright drug laws and patent laws.
And that's what ACT is all about.
It makes a lot of sense.
This is a very unusual interpretation of anything.
I like it, though.
Kudos to our intelligence guy.
Yeah, that's real intelligence for you, by the way.
I liked it.
Huh.
Well, there hasn't been any mention of that in the media.
They should.
We did get some good pointers to just kind of a callback to the Phoney Coney video.
And all the Black Hats, the Black Hat SEO guys are talking about this now.
They did the investigation on the Coney 2012 video.
And it is very clear that they used a YouTube bot to create 30 million mobile views on day one of this so-called viral video.
And of course, when you get 30,000 mobile views, then you go to 30 million.
I'm sorry, 30 million.
Then you go to the...
Not good with numbers today.
Yeah, me neither.
30 million.
So they literally have it on, I think it was March 5th.
That figures.
Yeah.
Now you said it.
So they phony up the numbers right away.
That gets everyone's attention, so they all have to watch it, or at least part of it.
Yeah.
And then you go, and then you add, you do probably, they probably did get a legitimate five.
Ten.
Ten from Facebook.
I'll buy that.
Okay, they may have gotten ten total from Facebook, and maybe another five.
You can't get that many views.
Mobile views.
Mobile views, by the way, which is not like a viral thing yet.
There's no mega sharing on mobile.
It's a fraud.
It's a scam.
As soon as I saw those early numbers, I said, there's no way.
Nobody gets these kinds of numbers.
The talking cat can't get those kinds of numbers, and everybody wants to see a talking cat.
Let's face it.
Talking cats are great.
The uploader was able to generate almost 30 million mobile views, which front-paged the video.
This is all the black hat talk here.
But you may have also noticed, on many big video accounts like Sexfill, Tabuscus, Ray William Johnson, etc., many people started commenting with only Kony 2012 in their messages.
This was also the work of the YouTube botch, which allows for mass commenting, which helped raise awareness in its own right.
So it was a total bot attack, or botted as you would say.
And we have a new guy to look out for.
His name is Ken Sunshine.
Have you heard of this guy?
I'm going to.
This is Sunshine Sachs Associates.
And he is a self-described former community activist, Obama event organizer, and New York Democrat, quote, who specializes in representing labor unions, environmental groups, and celebrities.
Boy, look at this character.
Do you see pictures of him?
Oh, yeah.
He is the mouthpiece or spokeshole for Barbra Streisand, Leo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Ben Affleck.
They also represent the SEIU, Transport Workers' Union...
This is the guy, and we won't forget his name, because who the hell's name is Ken Sunshine?
That's an easy one to remember.
He started working for ASCAP. Oh, yeah.
Moved into politics.
Chief of Staff for David Dinkins, the worst mayor in the history of New York.
Well, he had him there, didn't he?
Yeah, Leonardo DiCaprio, Barbra Streisand, Affleck.
He's got a picture of him here with Affleck and DiCaprio.
He just looks like an alien, this guy.
He looks alien.
He may be a gray.
Might be.
You would get me closer to being convinced that any of this is not a bunch of crap with this guy.
Isn't that outrageous, though?
I love it.
He's got a very short, short, obviously he's massaged, for considering his power, an extremely small Wikipedia entry.
Well, this is not exactly what these guys do.
It's always suspicious.
Yeah, they have all that stuff deleted.
Go to the history and see how much has been deleted.
I bet you tons.
Better yet, why don't our No Agenda producers go there and help him out with his Wikipedia page?
Help him out.
Yeah, put some entries in there, like...
Just on it 24-7.
As soon as something shows up, they erase it.
Well, then we'll know, right?
Then we'll know that the guy is really good and he's really doing his job.
I'd like to start by saying that we have not...
We are not yet capable of receiving shipping containers.
Yes, don't start sending them.
Don't send them yet.
Steve, the architect here in Austin.
I'm allowed to tell you his firm's name, although he's doing it on his own ticket.
He's offered to help us.
Studio 8 Architects.
Take a look at those guys, and you'll see that this is like a real firm.
And...
He's pretty serious about it.
Have you talked to him about the shipping containers?
Well, first of all, I had to talk to Mickey about it.
She loves the idea.
She loves it.
It's very, very green.
It's extremely green.
It's fascinating.
We've done a deep dive into shipping containers.
For those of you who missed the previous program, we're thinking about creating the Curry-Dvorak Hay Citizen Library, which would be located in Austin.
And it would be built out of shipping containers, which is green and apparently affordable, or more affordable than a lot of other materials, and kind of simple to construct.
And we'd like the containers to be donated, but don't send them just yet.
How many of our listeners actually have access to surplus shipping containers?
All right, well, let's do a test.
If you have access to a shipping container you think you can send us, shoot me an email.
Let me know.
I bet you a lot.
I bet you not a lot.
Well, then we have a problem, Houston.
Well, I'm just saying.
You can also buy them, you know.
They have piles of them in Alameda.
Yeah, with what?
Well, that's a problem.
But they're cheap.
$1,600 is kind of the going rate for a...
I think you can get them cheaper than that.
That just seems like the going rate for suckers.
But anyway, the influx of information we've received from people who are so into that.
And just to reiterate, we really will open this up.
And you can come by.
And you can hang out.
And you can be in the library.
You can read a book.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a library.
It's a library.
Hey, how you doing?
We'll have a computer terminal in there.
But if you want to come and cook, you can cook.
Ubuntu.
Yeah, oh yeah.
It's going to be open source all the way.
Anyway, do we have some people?
Yeah, we have a list here of some people to thank.
Yeah, I want to thank a few people for contributing to this show, number 395 at Dvorak.org slash NAPotterGeekMedia in Cinnamonson.
Wow.
Cinnamonson.
Cinnamonson in New Jersey.
$129.
Read on the March 29th show.
Okay, that's what we're doing.
In the morning, M-O-U-R-I-N-I-N-G, John and Adam.
It's Sean Palladino from Jersey, the Taco Bell worker.
Oh, yeah.
Potter Geek Media is my PayPal business account.
So just so you know, first off, I love a show and it's the best podcast in the universe.
And I thought he'd be one of the first to get in on the 129 donation bandwagon.
But every time I donate in the past year, I've been made fun of.
You made fun of my town name, my last name, my employment at Taco Bell, and the fact that I have a girlfriend.
I don't think that he's dreaming this.
Would you stop making fun of him, John?
I have never said anything.
I don't even remember the Taco Bell.
I worked at a Taco Bell, I might add.
I've eaten at a Taco Bell.
Yeah, well, I've worked there and so I'd be...
Wait, they had Taco Bells when you were at...
In college?
Yes, they did.
Really?
I think I deserve some respect considering I've donated $385 to the pension when half of your listeners haven't donated one penny.
Yeah, that's true.
As a Taco Bell slave, no doubt.
Could I get an empathy birthday karma with a hay citizen?
Do we have an empathy anything?
I don't know what that is.
Okay, just play the Karma Hey Citizen.
And at birthday, we'll get you the birthday thing.
You're on the list.
And would I ever like to offer a suggestion with the most expensive domain ever?
Noagenda.bs, which will be forwarded to noagendashow.com.
It costs about $500.
It's perfect for the best part.
I don't think so.
No, no, no.
Just send us the $500.
Please don't go registering.
We got bills.
We got IRS. We got problems.
We got containers to buy.
Alright, here you go, man.
Well, look, we never laugh.
You got a job, you're just getting by, you're living the American dream, you're supporting our value-for-value model.
If you felt we were laughing at you, you're wrong.
You're laughing with you.
I wake up every morning and thank my lucky charms that we have people like you listen to the program, my friend.
Hey, citizen.
You've got karma.
And you're right, everyone else out there, the 98.5 other percent.
That works at Taco Bell for God's sake.
Yeah, the guy's working at Taco Bell and he's donated $3.85 in the past and he's in on the 129-er and you have not donated.
David Jackson, Mississippi.
David Jackson, Mississippi.
David from Jackson, Mississippi on $11.11.
We haven't seen that for a while.
Wasn't sure how to send a note with my recurring PayPal subscription, but I hope this reaches you in time for Thursday's show.
It's a true honor to finally have a seat at the round table.
Things are pretty good these days, so I don't need any karma.
All I want to hear is John say, dude.
Dude!
That's exactly right.
That's the way I say it.
Dude!
Dude!
Good old in the morning jingle.
In the morning!
And he's the one that was complaining and we were bringing it back.
So there we go.
Thanks, David.
William Ashby, Mobile, Alabama, 111-11.
Please give me a karma shot.
I'm having two-level fusion in my back on March 30th and will need it.
Also give Ron Paul some delegate karma.
Less wars and more personal freedom would be a nice change of pace in the country.
And Ron Paul's the only guy carrying the message as only he can.
And we can, too, he says.
Absolutely.
Well, we'll be thinking of you tomorrow, buddy.
Here's the double infusion karma.
You've got karma.
Two-level fusion.
Someone in uniform, apparently.
Michael Staduhar.
I don't have a note from him.
I can look around.
$101.01.
It's a binary donation.
That's a binary donation.
101.
Not only that, but a palindrome.
Adam Rednauer.
Rednauer or Rednauer?
Rednauer or Rednauer?
Don't know.
Kettering, Ohio.
$100.
You could use a heap of karma.
You've got karma.
By the way, it's Mobile.
Mobile.
You should know that.
Well, I always call it Mobile.
Well, that's quite wrong.
Mobile.
Yeah, it is Mobile.
Nicholas, I'm thinking Dutch names all the time.
It's screwing me up.
Nicholas Stowe in, whoa!
Austin, Texas, $100.
Donation number two toward knighthood.
You can wave to him out the window.
Hey, Mr.
Nick!
Griffin Meineke.
Hilton Head Island, which is a great place in South Carolina, $71.01.
Pronounced Mineke.
Okay, so it's not Mineke.
It's Mineke.
Okay, there's no E after the end.
Sorry.
So, Griffin Meineke.
I need some job interview karma.
Please keep going on the best podcast in the universe.
You've got karma.
Sir Sam Leung or Lung, depending on what part of China you're from, even though he's in Toronto, Ontario, so he pronounces it probably Lung or Lung.
6969, there it goes.
He's keeping up.
Good old Sam is keeping the pace going here with the 6969, which has not stopped for a couple months now.
Forgot to attach a note to my donation.
Please give some karma to Eric the Shill.
He knows why.
You've got karma.
Dominic Myers, Cambridge, UK, 69, 69.
Can I get some exam karma for Friday?
Also karma for my three human resources and my smoking hot missus.
Yeah.
Smoking hot missus karma.
You've got karma.
Hey, the 69ers are doing good.
We've got another one.
Dustin Kopass in Homer, Illinois, which is like, well, he's a homer.
He lives in Homer.
Dwayne Melencon.
Sir Dwayne Melencon to you.
And Tiggard.
Oregon, where Winnie the Pooh lives.
Dwayne is like a patron, man.
He's been with us for a long time.
He's been on a roll, I have to say.
And I like saying tiggered.
Mark Ransom in Crook, Durham.
That sounds like a British town.
6969.
He's in Derby, actually.
Mark Ransom here, like the musician, but with an A. Okay.
Donating for the second time since I started listening.
I'm aiming slowly towards the night.
Who would love the show?
It got me through the day as a professional army slave trainer, game designer.
You don't know who Mark Ronson is, do you?
Who is he?
Is he a famous game designer?
No, he's like the musician, Mark Ronson.
You don't know Mark Ronson?
No, I don't keep up with this.
I listen to classical music.
Well, next time you do an interview, instead of saying, like, I like those Green Day boys, just say, Mark Ronson kicks ass, okay?
If Mark Ronson kicks ass, you can use that as a ringtone.
I'll check him out tonight.
And I'll push the Green Day guys aside.
They're also passe.
Okay.
Can I also call out Chris Novak as a douchebag?
Douchebag!
He's gonna, has already called me out as one.
Oh, he called him out.
That's funny.
And a big douchebag for Luke Shardlow, who still has not donated.
Douchebag!
We speak about the show all the time at work, and if you have one spare, I can, can I get a milf for my smoking hot girlfriend, Kimberly Ray?
Thanks for the best podcast in the universe.
Milf!
That's one mother I'd like to.
Spare me back!
Okay, and oops, another 69.69 from KJ, which is a great name, KJ. KJ Nowak, or Nowak, Nowak, in Derbyshire, Derby, UK, a lot of UK 69ers today.
In the morning, John and Adam, can I get a shot of super slide whistle karma for me and my girlfriend's Wednesday's interview?
We need to change our current jobs ASAP, and I'm hoping that your karma magic can help here.
Might.
Also, I want to call my colleagues Mark Ransom, Luke Shardlow, and Robin Bedella's douchebags.
Douchebag!
But we have to pull Ransom back.
Yeah, we've got to pull Ransom back.
We've got to de-douche him.
You've been de-douched.
Sorry, Mark.
Anybody wanted a double douchebag for Rob?
That's okay.
We gave him one before for Mark.
Yeah.
Brother, you guys.
Why don't you guys get a room?
He prefers to waste his life on playing WoW.
Somehow he thinks that wearing princess dress and shiny tiara while saving imaginary worlds is better for him than listening to an eye-opening best podcast in the universe.
I love the show and I hope that all listeners who want to hear John and Adam on the Joe Rogan Show will donate for your airplane ticket so you don't have any excuse not to show up there.
It would be a great promotion.
And Milf for his wife.
Alright, Milf and Karma come in.
Milf!
That's one mother.
I like that.
You got it.
Karma.
You wanted the slide whistle in there.
Yeah, you got it.
And also, we did a mailing this week, which by the way, I want to mention to anybody, go to your email box and read the mail because in there's a link to the chicken recipe.
Oh, right.
John's famous chicken recipe.
It's a throwaway recipe.
It's an easy thing to do.
It's one of the greatest little recipes.
I got the recipe and they're very simple.
It's a way that when you don't have a lot of time to cook, it's a perfect thing to do.
40 minutes and you're done.
Start to finish.
Yeah, and you're not doing anything.
You just put it in there and you put it in the oven for 40 minutes.
And can I just say, yesterday I made the John C. Dvorak sweet potatoes.
Oh!
And Ms.
Mickey asked me specifically to thank you again for your awesome recipe.
It's a winner.
It is.
Put that in the next newsletter.
Anyway, my birthday's coming up on April 5th with this next Thursday show.
I'm officially 60.
And so I put in a possibility of a $60 donation and the following great listeners sent in $60.
John Haller in Missoula, Montana.
Nigel Ewan in Columbus, Ohio.
Davin Desborough in Amherst.
So these are all birthday presents.
These are early birthday presents.
Yeah, these are early birthday presents.
Oh, nice.
I'll put it on the main page, too, for people who just want to go to Dvorak.org slash NA and don't want to open their email.
Lai Chow in Daly City.
Hey, Lai!
I can see her from here.
Oleg Racatini in Richmond Hill, Ontario.
Sir Oleg.
Sir Oleg, I should mention.
And Tony Forte in Raymore, Missouri.
So I want to thank them for that.
And Brian Wright, meanwhile, from Mobile.com.
Mobile!
Mobile, Alabama, 5510.
I hate that I missed your Hot Pockets meetup in nearby Pensacola.
I was hoping to get the stop on the beautiful Mobile Bay Causeway for some awesome seafood.
I guess it washes up there on the causeway.
Anyway, keep up the excellent work you do day in and day out on the greatest podcast in the universe.
My friend Will Ashby recently called me out as a douchebag.
I've donated a couple of times under the call-out level, but I can't live with my douchiness any longer.
Please de-douche me and send a karma shot to Will as he goes in for spinal fusion on Friday.
We have a bunch of those bad backs that listen to our show.
Also, I want to call out Shannon Clemens as a douchebag of the highest order.
Oh my goodness, that's a special one.
We have no idea what that means.
Maybe I'll do a slide whistle for the highest order.
You want to do it again?
Yeah, ready?
Ready?
Douchebags.
He's probably listening in his sleep right about now, so it's a great time for some neuro-linguistic programming right into his brain.
Hope I can get a podcast license when you get the chance.
Sure thing.
Let me do the de-douching and karma for you.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Uh-uh.
New donor from Mount Pleasant, Iowa, 5510.
Fairly new listener, love the show, and I'm hooked!
I'm taking a big financial exam and would deeply appreciate if I get some Series 24 karma.
Thanks for doing what you do.
Hey, NorCal.
I'm not dumb, okay?
I'm not dumb to wait until I'm in L.A. I'm too busy doing this show for you.
The chat room was vicious today.
You're chatting with the chat room?
Give Heather her karma.
You've got karma.
Thank you, Heather.
See, Heather is unlike some of these douche buckets in the chatroom.
Like, the show was better when Adam was stoned.
Why don't you F off then, okay?
Thank you, Heather.
By the way, I can attest to the fact that I honestly do not see any difference between Adam stoned and not stoned.
He's always had a pretty even keel.
He just was preoccupied with smoke and dope, but I didn't think it had any effect on him.
Personally, that was a waste.
Yeah, it was just a waste of money.
Tom Bushy in St.
Paul, and believe me, I'm dead honest when I say that, even though he feels a difference.
I don't know.
I feel better than ever, but I'm just saying, it's like the chat room was filled, you know, there's a lot of people who donate in the chat room, but most of these people are complaining.
They're not donors.
Here's what I've noticed.
Wait, let me say something.
It's important.
People who make fun of my hair are usually bald.
That's my whole point.
Ha ha ha!
Really?
Yeah, really.
Tom Bushy, St.
Paul, Minnesota.
Twin Cities, 5510.
John and Emma, double nickels on the dime.
Donation, gotta get a Trains Good, Planes Bad karma booster.
This is a new combo.
All aboard, Trains Good, Planes Bad.
You've got karma.
Tight, I like it.
I like that one.
That's a good combo.
It's different.
I don't know what the point of it is.
Jan Persil, or Persil.
Young Persil.
Persil.
Hamburg.
Deutschland.
In the morning, gentlemen, I'd like to drop you a value-for-value line letting you know that today will be a good day to claim my black knighthood.
And he will.
Okay.
At the end of my Hot Pockets Challenge Coins for journalists teaching our 2009 is near so we can use some karma for the next things to come.
Look forward to meet fellow citizen Werner back in Hamburg.
Booking table 33 is just perfect, Werner!
We are a messaging service.
Love the show.
Great hair.
You know the rest.
Does he want something?
Yeah, he wanted a karma.
Absolutely.
You've got karma.
Andrew Richter from Wayne, Michigan.
5150.
Adam and John decided I'd better get a second real donation since you accidentally credited me in two episodes for one donation.
Oh, wow.
That's not good.
I asked for a douchebag karma shot, the latter being for a job interview, which went great.
However, the position was on a project which has been postponed.
So, word of warning to other slaves, I don't recommend that specific combo.
That was the douchebag karma shot.
Yeah, that's what you get.
Yeah, you're a douchebag.
Okay, okay.
He needs a straight-up karma this time around.
Love to hear the Gitmo National Anthem, which we play every so often anyway.
You've got karma.
Okay.
Thomas Starkweather, Brooklyn, New York, 51-15.
Palindrome.
Donation is for Pete Mulroy's birthday from Josepha, Matt, Derek, Max, and Tom in Brooklyn.
He's turning 30 on the 30th.
We have a great range of listeners in terms of ages.
We sure do.
Happy golden birthday, golden boy.
James Gowan, Fremont, California, $50.
In the morning, John and Adam, I had to donate since the recent shows have been some of the best, I agree.
Since 381, the shows have been killers.
Also, maybe this one's an exception.
Also, I was home for a little karma.
Adios, nofos.
This one's the exception.
What is that?
You've got karma.
How often do you find out we're bombing Iran because they're making Viagra?
I'm sorry.
That's a pretty good one.
That's a cake taker for this show.
I mean, that's off the wall.
And I like it.
I like it too.
It makes total sense.
Sir Joe the Dish Slave in Stockton, 50 bucks.
Keep this one silent.
No need to read it on the show.
Thank you very much.
Right on.
You know, his dame is like...
Yeah, we kept signing for you, Joe.
I just saw a head swivel.
What?!
What?!
You sent 50 bucks to those mofos again?!
David Clark, Spartanburg, South Carolina, 50.
I'm a poor IT slave just getting by.
I need some new job karma.
Why?
Because my awesome son has been accepted to Embry-Riddle, Daytona Flight College in the fall, and it ain't cheap.
Yeah.
He'll be a great drone pilot one day, though.
Thanks for making my two-hour daily commute tolerable.
You've got karma.
I actually have a story in the show notes that all colleges are now offering drone studies.
No, seriously.
And there's a whole news article about it, and that graduates are pulling in up to $200,000 a year.
Really?
Yeah.
And so 2014 is when the FAA regulations kick in, and we'll have all these commercial drones.
So yeah, tell your kid, drones are it.
I'm not against it.
You might as well.
And I'd rather have your kids, who are listening to the show, piloting those drones, because at least they'll have some conscience.
Yeah, they can miss.
Exactly.
Oops, sorry.
Malfunction.
Greg Sterley, $50 with no comment.
Sid Compeador.
Compeador.
From the fifth column.
He wants to give listeners and ourselves a good shot at karma.
And...
You've got karma.
Finally, Sir Peter Totes and Alan Martin, who's in Brandon, Florida, both $50 and no comment.
I want to thank them and all the other donors and 6969ers and the whole crowd of you for helping us finish the show.
Dvorak.org slash NAA is where you go to.
And go open your email.
There's a letter in there for you.
Try the chicken recipe.
Oh, yeah.
No, you'll love it.
And a reminder, this is a value-for-value proposition.
This is the model for the future.
This is all we do except, well, we do some auditions for stuff.
We don't get it.
We don't score.
But all the work of that, you know, we did six hours of C-SPAN. We did tons of stuff.
Actually, more if you count the TSA things that we watch.
And you don't get this information anywhere.
This is a true news service.
We try to give you some analysis with it.
And did you know that we're bombing Iran because of Viagra?
No.
Why don't you try that at the next cocktail party?
It'll get a laugh, for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's your birthday, birthday!
Hey, citizen.
On no agenda!
Well, Sean Potter, Geek Media Paladino, congratulations himself.
He is turning 21 years old.
Welcome to Legality, my friend.
You're an official human resource now.
Mark Ransom, not like the awesome dude Mark Ronson.
He congratulates himself, 23, tomorrow on the 30th.
And Thomas Starkweather congratulates Pete Mulroy, turning 30 on the 30th.
That is tomorrow as well.
Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the best podcast in the universe!
And so we have announced two things.
By the end of this year, we will no longer be accepting forwards on domain names.
I am selectively now going through, and if it's coming up for expiration, I'm going to start doing things with them now that I have this pretty hot software that can do that.
So noagendasearch.com has just been transferred to me, so I'm going to set that up so we have a good search engine.
This is all part of the service.
You get this.
It's not just the show, which is five hours a week.
It's the show notes.
It's the Knowage and the News Network, knowageandthenewsnetwork.com, which you can participate in by just getting an RSS feed in there.
It's really everything.
It's the analysis, and it's the true love and dedication that we have to bringing you an outstanding product.
I think it's an outstanding product.
It's a very good product.
And it's easy to listen to.
It's not dense with really dense stuff.
You know what's going to happen.
But it's not light.
We get light because we do chat.
There's two of us just talking about stuff.
That's all that it's about.
So the next time you're in your car listening to this program, and you look at your dashboard right now, you see that N? That's the N for no agenda.
and when you want to move your car, you put it into D.
That's the D for donate.
Oh, gee.
Dvorak.org.
Slash N-A.
Now you'll never be able to look at your dashboard again without thinking about the effort to support the show.
It's a mnemonic.
I have programmed you.
All right, we do have four nightings today, John.
I'm very proud of that.
Holy crap!
Yeah, well, people have been saving up and they want to get their rings because we're not going to do rings at the end of this year.
We'll have something new.
So you can double up on your knighthood if you want the new award status.
But of course we maintain the knights of the...
Where's your blade?
Hold on.
Oh, there it is.
I'd like Patrick Barnett, Jason Dozier of Lamont Dozier Lamont, David and Young Persil all to step forward please.
It's a great pleasure to welcome you gentlemen into this exclusive club and you will be receiving your ring as I hereby pronounce the Sir Patrick, Sir Jason, Sir And thank you for supporting the best podcast in the universe.
Still need an RV if you want to see the 2009 Hot Pockets Tour.
You've got a couple months.
You probably want to go in June.
Yeah, we do.
Actually, you want to get out of Texas.
We'd like to split it up.
We'd like to do two and a half weeks and then come back and then do another two and a half weeks, which I think is probably a good idea.
It's like having a broken arm.
You kind of forget the pain.
Of what?
Of the whole experience.
I can't remember bad things.
Do you remember...
This is a little crackpotty for you.
Do you remember the Yogi Akal?
No.
He's the guy that...
Yogi Akal?
Yeah, he did the reading on us.
He's the Yogi that does the numerology.
Yeah.
How do you spell his name?
A-K-A-L. Yogi Akal.
So he did a reading.
Whoever's behind this guy, they're pretty smart because they basically do readings for people who have an audience in the hopes that you'll...
Mention him.
Yeah.
So he did a reading for Mickey and Adam.
And I cut it down.
It was really long.
But I think I have to play this because there's a bit in here that I was like, what?
So this is...
Are you game for this?
Oh yeah, why not?
My name is Yogi Akal and this is a special edition of Love by the Numbers for Adam and Mickey.
Adam and Mickey sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. It's a funny old ditty, it's a funny old song.
Yeah.
But the reality is that you are kind of sitting in a tree together.
Uh-huh.
In a container, you mean?
You know, the tree of life.
It's an old image, but it's a powerful one.
And for the two of you, that's really what this is.
You're both in a process of growth in your life.
So far, so good.
I'm not suggesting you need to grow.
You're in a process of growth.
That's a really special place to be in your life if you're aware of it.
I'm very aware.
I'm ascending.
It means you grab every opportunity to learn something new and you process it and integrate it and put it to work.
Now, when you use another person for that in a relationship, it goes bad very quickly.
Uh-oh.
Here's where he got my attention.
Uh-oh.
So the two of you working in a parallel way, you're both in this process of growth.
You don't have to use each other for that.
You just get to share it.
You get to be...
Happy in that process together.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G. By the way, Mickey didn't know the nursery rhyme.
I'd explain it to her.
She'd never heard that nursery rhyme.
It's not outside of America.
It's the idea.
Now here's the good news and the bad news.
There's good news and bad news, John.
The good news is...
There's no mean-spiritedness in this relationship.
Here's the bad news.
But by God, there could be some nasty words.
And that's not allowed.
Well, I'm like, okay.
He's basically saying, shut up, slave.
Wherever that comes from, whether that's carelessness, whether that's from a model of something in your past, whether you think that's an entitlement, oh, it's off base.
Okay.
Because there's a limit to that.
And words used as weapons will work against you every single time.
Okay, so now let's get down to the nitty-gritty.
I do cussing all the time, I think, is what that was about.
No, I just can't say, shut up, bitch.
So I stopped doing that.
Do you have any visual of me saying that to Mickey ever?
Well, if you wanted to get punched.
She's 6'1", and she's a kickboxer.
You kick my ass.
So let me just get that part out of the way.
All right.
Now get to it, Yogi.
Adam?
Yes.
You know, your process of life is a very beautiful process.
Hell yeah!
Thank you, Yogi.
No way it gets better.
You've included one woman into your life.
Well, two if you count John.
Good choice.
Mickey?
Here it comes.
You're sexy.
Not sexy, but sexy.
The number six.
You have to understand.
The number six.
He's like, she's the number six.
And in numerology, the birthday has no superstition.
Hold on.
Wait.
Wait for his comparison, and then I'll end it.
It doesn't have any special value.
It's just a reference point.
It's a starting point.
The numbers themselves have no superstitious value.
They're starting points.
They're like a language.
They're like words in a sentence.
Whatever.
And the word or the phrase or the key for you, Mickey, is six.
And six has to do with reverence.
It has to do with a kind of caring service that's public service.
You are an issue-oriented person.
There's a guaranteed success for Adam that will never fail.
Hey, now.
And for Mickey?
Hey, now.
Okay, now.
He's only seen these numbers.
Remember, he's doing a numerology reading.
With one other person in the world, and he's going to compare my future wife to this one other person.
Can I guess who it is?
Yes.
Obama.
No.
You get two more guesses.
You'll never guess.
You're never going to guess.
Soupy sales.
No.
Okay, I got one more guess.
Michael Jackson.
I've only seen one numerology like this before, so I mean no offense when I say this, but it's very similar to Al Gore.
Really?
Really?
Thank you very much.
You know how I just programmed you to look at the N and the D? Now I'm like, hey baby, you look like Al Gore.
Can you reach down?
Say it a little lower.
How horrible is that?
Go a little lower.
Al Gore, thanks.
I like the sixth thing.
The sixth thing reminds me of an experience I actually had at the horse track.
I was there with Mimi.
It was actually June 6th, 2006.
It was weird.
And we went to the track, and it was the sixth race, and the horse number six was named 66.
We put all our money on him, and guess what happened?
He came in sixth.
Yeah.
Oh, wait a minute.
In the morning!
Exactly.
Hey, let's talk about AFRICOM for a second, just to get back to some news that you will never hear anywhere and some analysis that it's just really shaping up to be more and more.
So one of our producers sent a note that came off of his Facebook page.
He made a snippet for me from one of his buddies.
And it says, Very nice note.
Of course, this is exactly what the Chiners have been doing for years.
And now it's our turn to go in and take over.
And there's been some interesting developments, John.
Very interesting developments.
Let me just bring it up here.
Here we go.
So there's a new guy in at AFRICOM, which I guess we kind of missed.
March 5th, Carter F. Ham took over command of AFRICOM. And the first thing he's done as commander of the U.S. AFRICOM is to visit Angola two days ago.
And he went in and said, Hey, you Angoli people?
I'm the new sheriff in town.
Now, you have to know that Angola...
China has $27 billion of investment from China.
$27 billion.
From Angola, crude oil is the number two country for China, where they get diamonds and oil.
Gold, right?
It doesn't say gold in this.
It could be.
They have also, and this is from two days ago, the Angolan government is getting ready to privatize their railroad system, which was financed by the Chiners.
So they can move out goods and services, not for anything else.
Of course, of course.
The interesting thing is this new guy, Carter F. Hamm, he was the guy who ran the Libya operation.
So can you imagine, all of a sudden, you know, hey, I'm Carter F. Ham, I'm your new sheriff.
In case y'all didn't see what I did over there in North Africa, I fucked those motherfuckers up a lot over there.
So you're going to do what we tell you to do.
And we really are doing it.
It's really...
What are we doing, specifically?
I mean, I think guys like that tend to go in there just to cause trouble.
They create a revolution.
They arm rebels.
They try to take over the government.
When the government's taken over, they roll out the old guys, which means they kick out the Chinese.
That's exactly what it is.
So, I'm just putting it on the map, so to speak.
Angola and Mozambique.
Brand new.
Mozambique's got even more minerals.
Mozambique is where the money is.
Check it out.
This came in just yesterday.
They are looking at...
Here it is.
Recent discovery of two massive gas fields in its waters has turned the region into an energy hotspot promising a 250 billion pound bonanza.
Mozambique.
That's a lot of Viagra.
I gotta tell you that.
A lot of Viagra.
So, of course, I go look and see if there's anything out there.
Not much besides these news articles, but it is obvious that we're just kicking the Chinas out left and right.
That's the entire gig.
As you know, before we started the show, we knew about the Chinese in Africa.
I mean, this was years ago, and before it was even begun to be discussed.
Yeah.
Some sources I have in Germany were complaining about it because the Germans were aware of this.
I'm now beginning to kind of change my opinion about what's going on because we've been following it so long.
I think that we knew all along what was going on with the Chinese and we decided, you know, if they want to build all these roads...
Yeah, we just waited for them to build it all and then we can move in.
Yeah, build it all and then kick them out.
Yes, exactly.
I'm in total agreement with you.
Yeah.
It's a great strategy.
We rock.
Yeah, we do.
We rock.
Let the yellow man build it.
It's embarrassing how easy it is to see the strategy, right?
Yeah, well, the strategy, yeah.
So, um...
The idea is we get more of this stuff.
It'd be nice to be...
So, Clippity-Clop.
Did you get the whole?
Yes, I did.
Yeah, I got it for the end of the show.
At the end of the show, we'll do the whole Clippity-Clop song.
Which was from a Marx Brothers movie, Go West.
So, I went to see if Clippity-Clop was meeting any of these.
Was there a foreign minister from Angola or Mozambique?
No.
But there was the guy from Estonia.
And it's something we've got to look out for because Estonia is a very interesting region.
It's right up there near Finland, of course.
Yeah, and by the way, we have an inn with our economic hitman to go, not go to Estonia, but hang out with the guy you're going to be talking about.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
What, the foreign minister?
No, I'm the prime minister.
We can hang out with him?
I'm pretty sure, yeah.
Cool.
Well, let's hear...
First, we have a little bit of the actual clippity-clop, which I put in front of the clip, because Lucifer, who is, of course, the cloven one, she was clippity-clopping up to the microphone with the Prime Minister of Estonia, and she, in her speech, said something very interesting.
Here.
Flippity-clop.
Flippity-clop.
Hello.
Flippity-clop.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Hello!
And welcome to the State Department, and a very warm welcome to my friend and colleague, the Foreign Minister of Estonia.
That's the Foreign Minister, not the Prime Minister.
And notice she doesn't know his name.
My friend, the Foreign Minister of Estonia.
I can't remember.
My friend.
My pal, my good buddy.
Now, listen to this.
On that note, I'm pleased to announce that the United States and Estonia have agreed to co-chair a new initiative in the community of democracies.
The community of democracies.
This is very important.
Write this one down, John.
The community of democracies.
I don't know what it means, but nothing comes out of her hole without a reason.
...that will use technology to help strengthen democratic institutions.
Okay, we're going to use technology that will help strengthen democratic institutions.
That sounds to me like we're going to be shoving more technology somewhere to start revolutions.
Okay, let's listen to what this program is all about.
This program that we call LEND... LEND. The acronym is GREAT!...ND, the Network for Leaders Engaged in New Democracies...
Can you imagine that meeting?
Okay, we've got to get these internet in the suitcases over there in all these places.
But we want them back.
But they're, you know, to start revolutions.
I mean, democracies.
Lend.
Yeah, we'll lend them to them.
Lend.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a platform.
A platform for democracy.
And then you give it back.
It's an online platform that will connect leaders from emerging democracies...
Leaders from emerging democracies.
You mean terrorists?
With former presidents, prime ministers, and others who have helped lead democratic transitions in their own countries.
My goodness, how brazen is it, John?
He's just laying it out there.
We are particularly focused on working together in Tunisia.
When the network is activated...
Activate the network!
...later this year, it will help accelerate the exchange of ideas among leaders who have the experience to share.
And we're very excited to be co-chairing this initiative with Estonia.
So we've got to go up there.
We've got to go check out Estonia, because that's going to be HQ, baby.
Well, Estonia is apparently so high-tech, it's like really amazing.
Well, yeah, there's tons of Silicon Valley companies that have Estonians, don't they?
And then you have nearby Latvia, I think it's Latvia, one of the two of those countries is, and I think Latvia is the one next to it, unless I'm thinking of...
Ukraine?
Yeah, a lot could be.
I mean, I could look at the map real quick.
Yeah, I mean, look at the map.
But whatever the case is, they're loaded with blondes.
Blonde bombshells.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Like, ludicrous number of them.
What, in Latvia or in Estonia?
Yeah.
I think Estonia's got to fall out of some of them, but no, it's the other one.
They're the backup Latvians?
Backup babes.
I don't know.
That's just what I'm told.
I have no idea.
So Latvia is underneath Estonia.
Yeah, exactly.
And Estonia is just across the river there.
From Finland, right?
From Finland, yeah, from Helsinki.
And that, of course, is where the Nord Stream pipeline will go.
Yeah, it'll go right through...
Right through that water there.
What is that called?
What is that water called?
The Baltic Straits?
I don't know.
Gulf of Finland.
It's the Gulf of Finland.
Gulf of Finland.
I don't have my map in front of me.
I do.
I do.
By the way, a great book to get is Maphead by Ken Jennings.
Maphead?
Maphead.
Yeah, Maphead.
Great book.
Great, great book.
Of course, Syria is no longer really in the news, except for a resolution that came out of the Senate.
You can only guess whose resolution that is.
You're going to tell me.
McCain, of course.
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
So, his resolution, four pages marked up for your convenience in the show notes at 395.nashownotes.com.
The title, Condemning the Mass Atrocities Committed by the Government of Syria and Supporting the Right of the People of Syria to be Safe and to Defend Themselves.
And by the way, you'll have noticed in the news a subtle change.
It is no longer Friends of Syria.
They've changed the title.
Have you noticed this?
I have not.
Yeah, it's Friends of Syrian People.
They've changed it.
Very interesting, yet subtle rebranding.
Why do you think that was the reason for that?
Because, I don't know.
I'll tell you what I think.
When you have this kind of rebranding during this sort of a situation, I think it's code.
I think it's, okay, what we plan on doing, we've done, here's our message to prove it.
I mean, it's a way of getting the word out that something's changed.
Okay, well, something has changed then, for sure.
We're taking over.
It's a done deal, or you guys can now stop paying attention to this.
Yeah, it's like, It's like when you buy a company, you change the name.
Yeah, just to let everyone know.
New boss.
New boss.
All right.
So then there's three pages of, like, basically building up his case.
And, you know, it's just these numbers.
You know, it's like just a couple highlights.
Whereas, it's all whereas on March 15th, Ban Ki-moon warned well over 8,000 people have been killed.
March 27th, the United Nations reported the death toll in Syria had climbed to more than 9,000!
Whereas at least 3,000 people have been killed in Syria in 2012 alone.
How are you, babe?
You okay?
Good to see your face.
Al Gore.
Al Gore.
So sexy.
Yeah, exactly.
So there's all this whereas, whereas, whereas, and then he comes to what we should be doing.
The Senate resolves, which means we're going to make you do this.
To support calls by Arab leaders to provide the people of Syria with the means to defend themselves against Bashar al-Assad and his forces, including through the provisions of weapons and other material support, and calls on the president to work closely with regional partners to implement these efforts effectively.
Guns.
We're selling guns or giving them or whatever.
We love guns.
And then here it is.
Commends the establishment.
Here it is.
It's new.
Commends the establishment of the Friends of the Syrian People Contact Group and other international diplomatic efforts to end the violence and support a peaceful transition to democracy in Syria.
So it's clear that we're going in.
The reason is also quite clear.
That is the Tamar gas deal.
Russia is in.
The deal is done.
They are going to be buying millions of tons of liquefied natural gas from Israel as predicted.
Which will strengthen Gazprom's hand in the booming Asian LNG market.
How are they going to get it there?
Well, of course, they have the port in Syria, so they need total control of Syria.
How are we selling that to the stupid slaves with reports like this?
How serious and widespread is the abuse of children in Syrian detention centers?
This is one of the shocking developments in the way the Syrian government has been reacting to legitimate calls of the protesters, is that they've gone for the children for whatever purpose, in large numbers, hundreds detained and tortured.
I've seen some of the evidence gathered by the Commission of Inquiry who talked with parents, who talked with other victims.
It's just horrendous.
Children shot in the knees, held together with adults in really inhumane conditions, denied medical treatment for their injuries, either held as hostages or held as sources of information or just The sheer brutality of this whole clampdown.
There you go.
You spoke about them.
They're going for the children, John.
They're shooting them in the knees, abusing them sexually.
That's obvious what they would...
First thing I think they'd be doing.
Yeah!
Like, you want to take control of the people?
Take the children!
And that's a BBC report, and it's in the show notes, 305.nashownotes.com.
I don't trust anything they do.
And, um...
I want you to want to get to some of your other...
I got one, if you're dropping off that topic.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, I think we all missed the point of this thing that's being overblown in Florida.
Oh.
The kid?
Oh.
Let me just read you, like, a big headline and a large news story in the New York Times, and then think about what maybe...
This is sick, but I'm going to play it anyway.
Uh...
Skittles.
Floor to death brings both profit and risk, honoring a youth's memory by buying the candy he ate.
They're selling these things by the boatloads now.
Skillets.
Skillets.
They're probably selling skillets too.
Yeah.
Hey, I heard a river now talking about skillets.
I want to buy me a skillet.
Yeah.
Um...
A lot of our producers, after we read the United Nations climate document, they've been sending in tons of stories.
Now, just to recap, this was the complete New World Order, New Rules, World Regulations, Unified World Laws.
This is all coming down to Rio, by the way.
Rio, you'll see, is in the news more and more these days.
I'll just give you a couple of quick headlines.
New York Times, scientists at Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research this week, published research, they said, indicated the high incidence of extreme weather events was not merely accidental.
Now, of course, when it was snowing, We'd say, hey, where's your global warming?
The kids were never going to see snow again.
The scientists said, weather is not climate.
However, when it gets warmer, they say things like this.
From the many single events, a pattern emerges.
At least for extreme rainfall and heat waves, the link with human-caused global warming is clear.
The science is in!
That's New York Times.
New York Times, ladies and gentlemen.
And then we have, from the same authors of the report, but a different news report, the scientific researchers who specialize in studying the role climate change plays in influencing individual extreme events is a new burgeoning field, which I think the Curry-Devorak Consulting Corporation can get into, extreme event attribution.
This is a new one.
Extreme Event Attribution.
And from that we need Climate Smart Farming, which of course includes genetically modified organisms.
But here's the one that I loved the most.
Remember this document called for a 0.7% of the gross national product to be dedicated to helping climate change, carbon credits, whatever, for poor countries and poor people.
Universal international borderless tax.
And this was, yes, to be paid out.
I guess to the banks.
I don't know.
It's part of the GDP. In other words, we'd have to pay the most is what it always means.
Well, we said this will become law.
A report from the Netherlands.
This is in Dutch, so I'm going to translate on the fly.
Of course, the Netherlands now, the Troika has come in and said, hey, you're not under your 3%, and you had such a big mouth about it, so now you've got to start clamping down austerity measures, take away people's pensions, all kinds of stuff is happening, making the Dutch very unhappy.
And they're talking about, so there's discussion now about reducing their foreign aid for climate change and poor people.
And literally here it says, her name is, she's a member of parliament of the second chamber, is what it's called there.
So it'd be like the Congress.
Kathleen Ferrier.
She says, ho ho ho, we can't do that because we have to stick to our international agreement of 0.7% of our gross national product.
So it's there.
Yeah.
I mean, of course we missed the meeting.
But it's now happening.
Look for the 0.7%.
You're going to start seeing it everywhere.
So this is Agenda 21.
This is the whole save the world with international law, global regulations, international law regulated by the International Criminal Court that we are now being subjected to.
And it's actually happening.
People should go to the website, the UN website, and start reading Agenda 21.
It's huge.
I mean, as you think, the health care bill is big.
Yeah, I know.
This thing is massive.
It's really big, yeah.
And it just pretty much sticks its nose into every aspect of day-to-day life for the public at large.
It's unbelievable.
And this also from interesting someone, a couple of people pointed this out to me.
As part of this, of course, we have the European Union, we have to have the North American Union.
You know, it's all going to be rolled up into one big global ball of muck.
And this is the first time that it is taking place, but we are witnessing on...
What is this happening?
This is happening next week, I think.
The inaugural meeting of the North American defense ministers.
I didn't know that there was like a North American defense outfit.
It might have to do with North American Treaty Organization, and you have the North American, and there's different representatives in that organization.
That might be what they're referring to.
No, it says the Honorable Peter McKay, which is Canada's Minister of National Defense, Honorable Leon E. Panetta.
Oh, it's a club.
It's a drinking club.
Well...
By virtue of our geography, our peoples, and our trading relationship, that might be there, our three nations share many defense interests.
Threats to North America and the hemisphere are increasingly complex and require non-traditional responses.
Yeah, it's a drinking club.
There's no meeting going on.
Well, there is.
You know, you're going to say drinking club all the way up into the FEMA camp.
I'm telling you.
Yeah.
Oh, here it is.
Are they going to a drinking club?
Here it is.
We will pursue this trilateral agenda, respectful of national sovereignty, and in coordination with other agencies, the results of our meeting will be conveyed to our respective leaders in advance of the upcoming North American Leaders Summit.
Hmm.
I guess we'll start seeing the Amero discussion crank up again pretty soon.
It's coming.
The North American Leaders Summit.
This is all over the place.
Yeah, well, it's a drinking club.
I can smell a drinking club a mile away.
Okay.
All right.
I did have one last clip I want to play as we wrap.
Sure.
I was watching Castle, which I think has deteriorated because they brought in some character that's just annoying.
I'm not familiar with this show.
Castle's a mystery detective story about this guy who's a writer who's been allowed to visit with the police so he can take notes, but he's actually helping him solve crimes.
It's a gimmick.
But they're trying to figure out who'd put a bomb in a wastebasket at some event.
And there's this clip, which is just like, oh, brother.
But it's kind of creepy, probably true.
What I have here is even better.
Data from wireless carriers that shows us all the GPS-activated cell phones in Boylan Plaza.
This is the plaza yesterday at 432, right before the explosion.
Each red dot represents the GPS position of a specific phone.
Ha ha!
How did you get this?
I called in a favor from a friend at Homeland Security.
Yeah!
He's a damn good friend.
Yeah, we just called in a favor from Homeland Security.
Right on!
Yeah, you got a GPS dot from every phone.
It's so true.
And the dots are all moving.
Yeah, of course.
I recorded something from a TV show.
So while you were watching Castle, I watched The Millionaire Matchmaker.
Are you familiar with this program?
Never even heard of this turkey.
Oh no, it's a very successful turkey.
It's a very successful show.
It's cable.
The Millionaire Matchmaker, it's a very successful show.
I think it's on Bravo.
And so basically, it's...
It's usually guys, and they're millionaires, so-called millionaires.
And then the millionaire matchmaker, she goes and she finds some coups for them.
And they have a party, and then they go out on dates, and then maybe they choose one, and then we hope to live happily ever after.
I have never heard anything as vile as this on television before.
Not funny, disgusting towards women, and the program should be boycotted.
Women say, no, no, no, no, no, no.
If you want vagina, you've got to pay, and money is not all you pay.
It may be a promise ring.
You see, it may be an engagement ring.
When a woman who doesn't require commitment is not a virtuous woman, vaginas are fun to play with, but you don't marry vaginas.
You marry virtue.
He's been playing with a lot of vaginas, but the problem with playing with vaginas is, within a couple of weeks, they're boring as hell.
You see, he gets bored playing with vaginas.
There's nobody to talk to.
Vaginas don't talk.
Continuity seems to be an issue for you.
How outrageous is that?
Play a clip of the day.
Oh, really?
I got a clip of the day?
Nice catch.
Clip of the day.
You know, people who listen to the whole show and get to the end of the show, really, the best parts of the show sometimes are right at the end.
It's at the end of the show, isn't it?
You get to hear the clippity-clops song from the Marx Brothers movie.
You get to hear that.
Oh, wow.
We've been in it a long time, John.
I'm sorry.
I didn't even realize how far along we were.
Well, I was trying to hint at it before we wrap.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Wow, I mean, I got like 50 more topics.
Save them for Sunday.
Okay, well, some of them just won't do.
Well, give us the best ones in a nutshell.
I'll give you the best one.
I didn't even need the story.
20 seconds, the headline was perfect.
I think all of us here in Washington, D.C. would rather not think about, what if?
What if nuclear terrorists targeted the nation's capital with a powerful bomb?
Federal officials have thought about that scenario long and hard over many years, and they figured out who would most likely survive.
Well, we hope it's not you, Wolf Blitzer!
That's it.
That's the whole headline.
Yeah.
Yeah, just more bull crap to scare the public.
Oh yeah, be very afraid.
Shake in your boots out there.
Shake, shake, shake.
Yeah, and I want to say hey to all of our friends, producers, and listeners in Gitmo Nation East who were all scared into buying extra petrol this week.
Did you hear about this?
Yeah, unbelievable.
Yeah, go buy some gas!
And then it's like, oh no, don't, but fill it up anyway.
Yeah, just fill it up.
We need to make our quarterly numbers.
Let's fill up all the inventory.
This is essentially an inventory fill, right?
Absolutely.
You've got a bunch of empty shelves.
You buy all the stuff and you fill the shelves up.
Now you've moved a bunch of stuff out.
Yeah.
It was basically a help our buddies with BP and Total out.
And then, of course, we had the big gas leak there off of Scotland.
Yeah, we're still trying to...
Yeah, we'll get to that.
I know what that is.
I can just tell you.
Even in the final music here, I can tell you what that is.
That's because it'll take six months to fix, and that's going to completely interrupt Scotland's whole idea of going rogue.
That's what I think it is, at least.
Yeah, if it wasn't a French platform, I'd be more inclined to buy into that kind of crackpot theory, but you never know.
True.
All I know is a lot of gas in it, and they need to light it.
Boom!
Light that sucker up.
All right, so we're going to give you the full Marx Brothers Go West song, Clippity Clop, as an end of show.
And thank you to all of our producers who have sent in stuff for, I mean, all the clips and pointers and everything.

Thank you to our artists.

We hope you consider us with our value for value at dvorak.org.
Sitting here in the capital of Tejas, the Drone Star State in Austin at Camp Mofo.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And without further ado, and from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
And we will talk to you again on Sunday, right here on No Agenda.
No Agenda Riding
the rain Together Oh, we ride and ride We don't know where But the horses do the work So we don't care It's clippity-clop Just clippity-clop It's
a lonesome road and mighty long, but the hoofbeats make a mighty pretty song of the lippity clock.
Just lippity clock.
Just lippity clock.
You think this riding, this constant riding, is something that can't be done.
But all day Sunday We've got till Monday Just to ride around for fun Ride in the rain Together Where the men are men And life is free And there's nothing breaking The monotony Of the lady by Lady by
Just clip-a-dee-clop-a-dee-clop-a-plop-a-plop.
I sure like horses, and I say a horse is really a man's best friend.
Wah, wah, wah.
You won't like riding when you start riding, but it gets you in the air.
Riding the rain.
Riding the rain.
Together.
My father shot at the Indians in 1862.
Oh, he sure shot at the stork when the stork he brought to you.
Clippity claw.
Oh, my heart is big.
Clippity claw.
Yeah, and I repeat.
Clippity.
I mean, that is the land of unconfirmed.
Yes, we came, we saw, we died.
Did it have anything to do with your business?
America is one big pothole right now.
