	But it's a simple fact.
	That's the way a government can control the population.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, April 5th, 2012.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 397.
	This is no agenda.
	Illegal in Arizona.
	Coming to you from Camp Mofo in the capital of the drone star state, Austin Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where they're cracking down on pot.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crack Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Well, well.
	Before we do anything, John, let me say happy birthday.
	Well, thank you very much.
	And I have a birthday present for you.
	Ah, nice.
	I've been practicing.
	Hold on a second.
	How was that?
	On my slide whistle.
	I don't know how you play the bongos and play that slide whistle at the same time.
	It doesn't make a lot of sense if you think about it.
	I did it with my foot.
	Oh, okay.
	I got one of those setups.
	60 years old, man.
	Cool.
	So you were born in, what, 52?
	Am I saying that right?
	1952.
	Well, yeah.
	1952.
	I have a bunch of people saying I'm born in 1852.
	It's kind of weird, though.
	I was thinking about that last night.
	Because you were basically too young for Vietnam.
	You're kind of like in between generations in a way.
	They kept sending people to Vietnam until the mid-70s.
	Oh, all of a sudden, someone decided to make your Skype sound like crap.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Happy birthday to me from Skype.
	And from Comcast, or whoever else seems to care.
	Well, in the morning to you, John C. DeVore.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry, and in the morning to all ships at sea, and boots on the ground, and feet in the air, and washing ashore.
	Indeedy.
	And I'd like to say hi to all of the human resources.
	Everyone is charged up.
	Really ready to go in the chatroom.
	NoagendaStream.com.
	NoagendaChat.net.
	They are here to celebrate John C. Dvorak's 60th birthday, which is always nice.
	And we'll probably do some other things along the way.
	I would hope.
	Hold on.
	Let me just check my button here.
	It was really weird.
	Just before we started, that button went on the fritz again.
	Your button, the one you cleaned?
	Yeah, I don't understand what's going on.
	Oh, man.
	So many distractions, John.
	So many distractions.
	It's now the distraction of the day.
	I should actually do it.
	The distraction of the week.
	On the agenda.
	Oh.
	Developing story on the Washington watchdog beat tonight.
	President Obama has fired the chief of the General Services Administration, Martha Johnson, after an audit found excessive spending of taxpayer money at a training conference at a Las Vegas luxury hotel.
	The expenses included $3,200 for a mind reader.
	$6,300 on a commemorative coin set displayed in velvet boxes.
	And $75,000 on a training exercise to build a bicycle.
	Please, don't look at MF Global.
	Please, don't look at anything like that.
	Please, please, please pay attention to those guys over there.
	You know, I read this report, which, by the way, is very hard to find.
	It's from the Inspector General.
	It's the Final Management Deficiency Report.
	You know, to me, this is, of course, set up by the Republicans.
	And this is actually Micah's doing.
	And he has all kinds of cute little words, like, you know, like, well, what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.
	You know, they had 300 people there.
	And, you know, John, you and I have been to many of these management retreats.
	And yeah, you know, you hire some guy to do team building and he cost three and a half grand and, you know, it was a hundred bucks for food.
	You know, that's what it costs, you know.
	And this was like more than 300 people.
	Yeah.
	And included travel and catering and, you know, hotel costs.
	Yeah.
	If they're all coming in from Washington or all over the place, you can probably assume it's going to be $1,000 a head just to get them there and back.
	Yeah.
	So that's $300,000 right there.
	Yes.
	And whose fault is that?
	Well, I have the breakdown here.
	The pre-conference, so travel, catering, vendors, other hotel costs, $136,000.
	And then for the conference itself, another $686,000.
	Total $822,000.
	Go see what it costs what Oracle spends or Salesforce when they bring all their regional people in.
	I'm not defending this.
	I'm just saying it's like it's so ludicrous.
	And then the way they totally blew it because they're trying to actually listen to Micah.
	He's trying to make this.
	Oh, just the tip of the iceberg.
	We're going to nail him now.
	Happened in Vegas, isn't staying in Vegas or being covered up.
	We're all appalled when we saw the IG report, which outlined over $800,000 to a loss.
	Vegas junket for GSA. And rightfully, people have been removed from their positions in GSA. So this is where it backfired because it came out as the president saw this and fired everybody.
	So they were trying to make it look like, of course, that the administration and everyone who was in there are a bunch of low-life douchebags, which is true.
	Well, you know, there's another thing at play here, too.
	Micah is the one who is the biggest opponent of the TSA and Department of Homeland Security, and they refuse to cooperate with him because he's on one of those major committees.
	They never give him the stuff he wants.
	So he's just saying, look, if you guys want to play that way, I can have a lot of fun with some of these agencies, and let's just shake things up, and he'll go after another one after this.
	Until he gets his way with the Department of Homeland Security?
	That's my thinking.
	No, that's a possibility.
	I can buy into that.
	I mean, everything's a political game.
	But really, I mean, it's just like...
	It worked!
	It was a great distraction, except for you and me.
	I mean, it was like, yeah, I agree.
	Oracle drops like, I don't know how many millions and millions of dollars on that event they do in San Francisco every year.
	I mean, it's ridiculous.
	Although they have people pay to go to it.
	You have to pay a lot of money to get in, but they're still not making money on it that I know of.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, so, you know, it's just like, ugh, really?
	And meanwhile, MF Global, nothing.
	Crickets.
	Can't hear a single thing.
	Just to name one little minor, minor thingamabobby.
	You know, it's just like, wow.
	Actually, this morning something came through which kind of vindicated my thinking, which I'm quite happy about.
	Another tale of the Hollywood Whackers.
	Oh yeah, everybody.
	Here it comes.
	Whitney Houston drowned face down in a tub of extremely hot water only about a foot deep.
	That's according to the final autopsy report.
	Say what?
	Face down?
	Are they changing the story?
	Well, the final report just came out.
	But now, of course, Dr.
	Drew, who was on a rampage, on a tear for weeks, saying, this is what happens when you take pharmaceutical drugs.
	So now he's changed his story, which is even better.
	The coroner said that Houston died of an accidental drowning, but didn't specify just how it happened.
	Cocaine use and heart disease were listed as contributing factors.
	HLN's Dr.
	Drew analyzed the report and came up with a different opinion.
	The fact is, this autopsy report shows that she had nominal, nominal heart disease.
	Almost none.
	Not sufficient to explain what happened to her.
	You also mentioned she was found face down in water.
	How do you have a heart attack or take too much medication and slip into the water and drown and end up face down?
	The way that happens is seizure.
	I add the entire score up and I get seizure here.
	I'm saying, once again, they killed her, dude!
	I mean, a seizure, that would have shown up in the report, because a seizure is like a...
	Is that not a clot?
	Is that like a blood clot in your brain?
	No, it could be any number of things.
	But, I mean, that would have showed up on the final report, would it not have?
	Don't you think?
	I have no idea what kind of report they...
	What do you mean?
	You're a doctor.
	What are you talking about?
	You don't know.
	Why would I know?
	You're a doctor.
	I'm Dr.
	John.
	Yeah.
	Face down.
	Here's what happened.
	I know.
	It sounds like somebody grabbed her and shoved her into the water and walked out of the place.
	That's exactly what I said.
	And they left her face down to send a message.
	Exactly.
	That would be your theory of the Hollywood Whackers because they would do something like that.
	Face down to send a message.
	And then everyone partied.
	And then we had a great party, and then we had Nicki Minaj do a whole ritual, you know, the whole demonistic, evil, Illuminati ritual.
	Whatever, yeah.
	Which no one has still been able to explain.
	She was killed!
	This is so obvious.
	But hey, the movie's coming out, so that's all good.
	Win!
	It's just crazy.
	So these are all these minor distractions, which there actually was quite a lot of stuff going on.
	I'd love to hear what you've got at the top of your list.
	Well, before we get into it, I want to start with our executive producer so we can get that quickly out of the way.
	Well, we want to honor them quickly.
	Well, I don't want to mean quickly out of the way.
	What I meant by that is move it higher, because it's so important.
	I want to move it higher.
	Listen to him backpedaling.
	That was pretty sad.
	Yeah, you do.
	Alright, move them higher up the list, which was your initial intent, John, please.
	It was my birthday, of course, and so we got a lot of...
	because I sent out an email and suggested...
	And said, hey, it's my birthday.
	Hook me up, brother.
	$60.
	I want to really thank those people a ton.
	But let's start with our executive producers, including Brett Lamont, who came in from Narangabae.
	Queensland.
	Is that right?
	Really?
	I believe so.
	12-12-12.
	I'm going to have to look in the email because he sent no comments here.
	But this is then a 12-12-12 night.
	We have one of those.
	He may actually be the first or second one of these.
	I think he's the second one.
	So there's no note?
	No.
	No, there's no notes.
	That's highly weird.
	Hold on a second.
	Let me check.
	Lamont.
	Let me see if I have anything in my box.
	Oh, I'm checking my box.
	Here we go.
	I have...
	Oh, there he is.
	I got it.
	Yeah, you got it?
	He doesn't...
	Okay, he says, I've been enjoying the show for ages now and had to donate.
	I'd saved and managed to donate the amount of 12-12-12, which I hope will allow you two fine men to continue to keep us educated and entertained.
	I would like to request a Hey Citizen, You've Got Karma double shot, please.
	I'm about to fly out to another week in the mines.
	And we'll have to get back to you with my ring size once I get some time back in civilization and actually get my ring finger measured.
	Keep up the fight.
	It's an honor to be able to donate assistance any small way to keep the show going.
	I'm not sure if that will be the first triple 12 night, but I hope so.
	I'm thinking he is.
	And he also wants to mention that it's also a happy birthday shout out for me.
	Let's give him a hey citizen.
	I got a special hey citizen for him, so let me see if I can do this.
	You may return to your business citizen.
	You've got karma.
	Hey citizen.
	I got some new hey citizens.
	And, yeah, I heard that.
	It's funny.
	Anyway, thanks to Brett for becoming a 12-12-12-12.
	This is the luckiest thing you can do.
	Mary Nicole in Farmington Hills, Michigan, also an executive producer at $628.
	Happy birthday to Sir Matt Nicole.
	You're now an elite warrior sworn to uphold the values of faith, loyalty, and courage.
	And, uh...
	Yeah, this is Mary, who, remember, she wanted to make sure we did a birthday shout-out for him, which we did, even though she hadn't been able to transfer funds, and she's making good on it.
	She's making good on it.
	That's great.
	Okay, good.
	So Matt will be a knight, too.
	Good, we have knightings today.
	What an exciting program, John.
	Knightings.
	JC ran in here to say something about Gitmo Slave.
	Is that Brett?
	No.
	No, no, no.
	Oh, Gitmo Slave was the first 12-12-12 night.
	Oh, Gitmo Slave was the first 12-12 night.
	Sir, Gitmo Slave to you.
	Sir, yes.
	Okay.
	Okay, well, Brett, you're number two, which is lucky.
	Craig Porter, Jacksonville, Florida, $500.
	So I wanted to kick some scratch in for the 400 show.
	I also wish you a happy birthday to fellow Aries.
	I'd like to request some karma from my friend Tara in Connecticut.
	She is having a lot of life issues right now.
	She needs some no agenda karma to help get her through.
	I know it works.
	Alright, here we go.
	You've got karma.
	Joseph Fiella in Brooklyn, New York.
	$400, which is a member of the 400 Club.
	He'll be renamed again on show 400 as an executive producer there.
	He gets two for the price of one.
	Scott Hankel, Sir Scott Hankel to you, Sunderland, California, 396.
	Please send a karma shout-out to the missus and I in our home hunting.
	Home Hunting Quest.
	We have placed many of offers, but none have landed yet.
	Hopefully soon.
	Keep up the good work on the greatest podcast in the universe.
	Alright, here you go.
	Home Hunting Karma for you.
	Stand back.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Our last executive producer is Linda Nguyen.
	Houston, Texas over there.
	333.33.
	Hola, John and Adam.
	I laid in bed at 2 a.m.
	thinking of what to get my husband Foxfern for his 30th birthday on April 6th and thought what could possibly look better next to the challenge coin than a knighthood ring.
	Long-time boner, first-time donor with this donation toward my husband's knighthood marking a new beginning.
	We recently added a human resource six weeks ago.
	Our son, Piglet...
	Nicknamed such because he would rather vomit than say no to more breast milk.
	Kid's going to be huge.
	Kid's already 20 pounds.
	Yeah, well, he's got good taste.
	Anyway, our lives have changed forever.
	Our wonderful husband has quickly become a caring father.
	All three of us love listening to the best podcast in the universe.
	Please give a 30th shout-out to my husband and John 60th.
	Happy 60th.
	Could I request a de-douching and a shot of karma for both my husband and our new son?
	Lastly, for me, could you add my favorite jingle from our governor, Adios Mofo?
	Okay, hold on a second.
	I'm sorry, I wasn't prepared for this.
	The show is produced on the fly here.
	This is what makes it fresh.
	Here we go.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Adios, mofo, tight.
	Yeah, it's tight.
	The adios mofo is over-modulated, kind of.
	Oh, we're going to be picky now all of a sudden?
	I'm just saying.
	It's just over-modulated.
	I'm sorry to say it.
	And the slide whistle is so on key.
	Hey.
	Anders Ed... Ed... Edquist.
	Edqvist.
	Sounds good to me.
	In Hagersten, Sweden, I'm guessing.
	2560 is our associate executive producer.
	I'd like my 8-bit donation to be attributed to Sunday's show.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	This should be on Sunday.
	But I'm going to mention it anyway.
	And we'll put the birthday.
	We've got to move the birthday.
	Take the birthday off the list that goes on Sunday.
	Can you do that?
	Yeah.
	Apparently I can't do audio, but yeah.
	You're not just going to gripe about it.
	It's not your fault that it's overmodulated.
	That's the way that clip was.
	Alright, so he's off the list, but he will be on the list Sunday.
	Sunday.
	And we'll take him off.
	We'll just move him to Sunday.
	Kent O'Rourke in Frostburg, Maryland, 23456.
	Happy birthday, John.
	Donating to the greatest podcast in the universe.
	I believe this takes me to knighthood.
	And he needs a karma shot on top of that.
	You've got karma.
	Ian Webb in Glendale, Arizona, 23369.
	Okay, here it goes, guys.
	Been a long-time boner for about a year, so this will make me a first-time boner.
	I mean, first-time donor.
	My buddy Justin Peck hit me in the mouth, and I haven't looked back or missed a show since.
	I just found out the other night.
	He's been listening for two years and has yet to donate.
	So he and my other buddy, Chris Coates, Who has yet to donate?
	Need a double douchebag call out.
	Oh my goodness, hold on a sec.
	Douchebag!
	That's one and...
	Douchebag!
	That's two.
	As for myself, I could use a well-overdue Hey Citizen de-douching, but wait!
	I'm adding $69.69 to get some laid karma, and $60 for you, John.
	Happy birthday, and I know it's not much, but here's a dollar for every show over the last year, bringing the grand total to $233.69.
	It's a small step toward knighthood, but I'm finally on my way.
	Keep up the good work for us men of the mind.
	All right, so de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	And a car.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Perfect.
	You left out the hey, citizen.
	No, I didn't.
	Hey, citizen.
	Well, wait a minute.
	Let me make up for it with a new citizen.
	Here we go.
	Yes, citizen.
	You may return to your harpsichord.
	How many of these do you have?
	A couple.
	Michael Werner in Vestal, New York, 22222.
	I need a new job.
	I've been applying to places for over a year with no luck.
	Currently waiting on a callback for my latest interview.
	The best one yet.
	I'm optimistic, but I haven't heard anything for two weeks.
	And I think it'd still go either way.
	A little karma from you guys might be enough to tip it over at the edge.
	Thanks for the show.
	You've got karma.
	He also mentions that we expose far more important news in two hours than any of those cable networks do in 24 hours.
	Hey!
	That's very kind of you.
	Sir Leonard in Groningen.
	Groningen?
	Groningen at 219.15.
	Groningen.
	Penny for each day for John's birthday.
	Penny a day at 219.15 for anyone out there doing the math.
	And finally, Ryan Bergette.
	Uh, two oh one, or I'm sorry, two hundred and one, two hundred dollars and one cent.
	And I don't see a note from him.
	Let me just take a quick gander since I got this thing open.
	B-U-R-G-E-T-T. Uh, right, yeah.
	And let's see if he sent a note that we missed.
	Ah, yes.
	Please read on four, what?
	Four or five, that's today.
	Slowly figuring out how to properly leave a note with my donations.
	It's funny because most people have figured it out.
	It's very easy.
	Yeah, you just put it in your donation there on PayPal.
	Yeah, but I guess it's, I don't know why some people say there's no box and other people say there's a box.
	I don't know, maybe it's the browser issue.
	Whatever the case is, in the morning rather than bitch about my inability to properly leave a note, I sounded like an idiot.
	I decided to, again, donate.
	Love the dissemination of knowledge, crack pottery, and information that you provide.
	I'm becoming a better human resource, Adam.
	If you're convinced about chemtrails, do you advocate people use cloudbusters?
	Hey, you know, we haven't talked about cloudbusters in a long time.
	And you were going to build one.
	You know, after we build the container house, which, by the way, after watching those tornadoes in Dallas, Mickey's like, that's not such a good idea.
	These containers fly.
	Yeah, those are loose, though.
	They're not on the foundation.
	I know.
	I know.
	I'm just kidding.
	She didn't say that.
	We did have a little conversation.
	You're accusing her of falsehoods?
	Yeah!
	I'd like a wolf call for my smoking hot girlfriend, Heidi.
	Woo-hoo!
	She's in the process of listening to her first whole episode.
	Also, a shout-out to Elise and Eon Garling for being loyal No Agenda listeners.
	I must, in the same breath, call them out as douchebags.
	Douchebag!
	For allowing me to donate first.
	Also, congratulations to Eon's new human resource and milfy fiancé.
	Lastly...
	Clippity-Clop, Hey Citizen, Karma Blockbuster for myself to get some pictures.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	A Clippity-Clop, Hey Citizen, Blockbuster, Karma.
	All right, let's give it a shot.
	It's Clippity-Clop.
	The message is clear.
	Turn on Clippity-Clop.
	Hey Citizen.
	You've got Karma.
	Tight.
	All right, so that's our donors for show...
	What show is this, anyway?
	3-9 or 7.
	We're coming down.
	3-9 or 7.
	We've got three shows left before it's show 400.
	Yep.
	That's a big deal.
	So it's a lot of shows, by the way.
	It's a lot of show.
	Not shows, it's just a lot of show.
	A lot of show.
	It's a lot of show, man.
	Mind people to go to dvorak.org slash nachannel, dvorak.com slash nanoagendanation.com and noagendashow.com and click on the donate button if you want to help us continue this effort.
	And I want to thank everybody for thinking about us.
	dvorak.org slash n-a Yes, and I do have two quick PR mentions.
	The first one is that you sent out a letter wherein you said, and we hadn't discussed it previously, but then again, we never talk except for during the show, which is part of the beauty.
	We apparently are going to be doing a 400 point...
	Wow.
	No, no, no.
	I suggested people tell us what they think of the idea.
	I didn't say we're going to do it for sure.
	Oh, no.
	I thought it was like a done deal.
	No, I just said, you know, we're thinking about doing it.
	I mean, well, I guess I wrote the letter, so I was thinking about it.
	But, you know, it's show 200.5, which people can find somewhere to listen to, which was designed to help people understand what we're doing on the show.
	Well, so what I wanted to say is that that episode has been fanscribed.
	So it's been transcribed, but we call it a fanscription.
	Oh, it has?
	Yeah.
	Oh, that would be nice to turn it into a little e-book or something.
	Yeah, well, you can find it at 200.5.readnoagenda.com.
	Which is quite awesome.
	Yeah, that is good.
	So anyway, I think that I might be getting a little tired.
	Hold on.
	I could be wrong.
	I think this thing got screwed again, John.
	I don't know what's going on.
	What is that noise?
	It sounds like you're farting.
	Yeah, that's exactly what it sounds like.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's my microphone again.
	I don't know.
	All of a sudden, that thing decided not to work anymore.
	One, two.
	Oh, okay.
	Hello.
	One, two.
	Who knows?
	I think the idea of a 400.5 show, possibly with...
	There was something else there, like people sending something in, or...
	Yeah, somebody suggested that people send in a little audio clip as to why our show's so great.
	Yeah, that would be good.
	And we can do a whole show about how great we are.
	And we can come together and say, hey, look at this.
	Look how great this is.
	And we had an actual PR mention, which I pulled a little clip from it.
	This is from one of our producers, Keith Sarloos, or Sarloos, S-A-A-R-L-O-O-S. And apparently there's some wine show, The Wine Down.
	Have you heard of this podcast?
	No, but I don't know a lot of the podcasts.
	Well, you might want to look at it because they've got some milfy chick on who's kind of cool.
	What's the name of it again?
	The Wine Down.
	The Wine Down?
	The Wine Down, yeah.
	As in Wine Down.
	As in Wine Down, I'm winding down, but it's the Wine Down.
	Oh, the Wine Down.
	I thought it was something to do with wine.
	The Wine Down.
	Okay.
	And so I guess Keith, I don't know if he's on the panel.
	It's kind of like a twit for wine.
	Let's put it that way.
	It is about wine.
	Yeah, it's about wine.
	You said wind.
	Okay.
	It's a wine show.
	Okay.
	And I don't know if he's on the panel regularly or...
	How do you spell it?
	The Wine, W-I-N-E, Down, D-O-W-N, The Wine Down.
	Anyway.
	I get thewindown.com comes up to a GoDaddy site.
	I don't know, man.
	I'm just...
	I've got the video in the show notes.
	You can take a look at it there.
	But here's the audio.
	They bring up a new bottle of Rothschild that apparently is coming out or maturing or whatever.
	Something you would know much more about than I. And Keith, all of a sudden, his no agenda button flips on and it's quite hilarious.
	It was Matt Bing, so go...
	You're so rude sometimes.
	All right, I won't say family.
	Can you speak Chinese?
	Sheshan Wu!
	Sheshan Wu means in the morning.
	Can you speak Chinese?
	I can.
	Sheshan Wu.
	I can.
	No agenda.
	One of the interesting things, if you talk about the Rothschild family, if you really go into Google Rothschild Federal Reserve, and it's...
	So whenever that happens, someone says, do you speak Chinese?
	He just goes, Sheshan Wu!
	I mean, obviously.
	Sheshan Wu!
	Exactly correct that they would be in China right now developing a winery.
	Really?
	Really?
	Do you want to expound on that a little bit?
	Now all of a sudden I look like the conspiracy theorist.
	What do you even look like?
	He winds it up with a little promotion.
	That's why I want to play the whole thing.
	Well, the Rothschild family, if you go far enough back, they're part of the inception of our Federal Banking Reserve.
	I'm an end-the-fed kind of guy.
	This is a wine show.
	Them going into China and starting to open something like that is a popular relationship builder.
	That's what wine does.
	It builds relationships.
	And more people can get in and have a glass of wine.
	Wrap it up.
	Watch how he does it.
	And have long conversations about big money.
	It's probably a good idea.
	Do you see how I totally turned that in?
	In the morning, everyone.
	NoagendaShow.com.
	Yay!
	All right.
	There we go.
	Yeah, good work, man.
	That's how you do it.
	Anyway, so I'm on the side.
	The way to find it for people out there trying it, you go to Google and type in The Wine Down, and it turns out to be the lip.tv slash the dash wine dash down, which is not worth typing in.
	And I see there's a Sonja Magdefsky.
	Yeah, that's the one.
	That's the one.
	She looks like a...
	She just looks terrific.
	That's one mother.
	I liked her.
	Right.
	And it looks like a show worth...
	Definitely worth watching.
	Yeah.
	So we highly appreciate that PR mention.
	That was a good one.
	And you showed the other producers how to do it.
	You know, you slip in a little thing.
	You can use all kinds...
	You speak Chinese.
	Yes, that's Sean Woo!
	What?
	Yeah, it's in the morning.
	When you see the video, they're looking at him like, are you high?
	What's wrong with you?
	And then he goes straight into a Rothschild thing, Federal Reserve, evil elites, and then in the morning, NoAgendaShow.com.
	Perfect!
	We love that.
	And of course, you can always just propagate the formula, which is something like this.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	New World!
	Order!
	Hey now everybody, shut up, slaves!
	And thanks, of course, to our executive producers who came in nicely today.
	A lot of, of course, not based on the show, but based on a birthday gift, but that's okay.
	We'll take it any way we can get it.
	And our associate executive producers, these are actual credits.
	You can list them on your IMDB, your CV, your resume, and if anyone has any questions whatsoever, unlike the phonies in Hollywood who can never get on the phone, like, yeah, I'm getting off the freeway right now.
	I'll call you back.
	No.
	No.
	We will actually take the call and vouch for you.
	Do whatever is necessary.
	And remember, we do this show twice a week on Thursday mornings and Sunday mornings.
	And we have no commercials.
	It is completely listener-supported.
	A model that is working by helping us just get by.
	Dvorak.org slash NAT. So I'm getting really tired of our president lying.
	Really, I'm like, now I'm really tired.
	And I have to say, interestingly enough, our press corps is kind of, now I'm just going to say the reporters, because none of this makes it to the news.
	In fact, this is being covered up.
	Here's what the President said.
	You've probably seen this play on any number of so-called news outlets.
	As he was in the Rose Garden with the other three leaders of the North American Union, Calderon and Harper, talking about how great it's going to be when we have that Amero and all that stuff.
	We don't need all that stupid Canadian money or pesos or dollars.
	And he gets a question about the Supreme Court ruling.
	And just for those of you who don't know what's going on here in Gitmo Nation proper here in the United States of Gitmo, the Supreme Court is evaluating the constitutionality of forcing people to have health care, buying that from a commercial provider.
	And so they've had the hearings.
	John and I covered that a couple weeks ago, a couple shows ago.
	And now everyone's kind of like waiting.
	So what else are you going to do?
	But, you know, muck around and guess.
	And then someone says, so, you know, wouldn't that really be weird, you know, Mr.
	President, if like, you know, if the Supreme Court said, hey, that's unconstitutional.
	And here is his response in the Rose Garden.
	Ultimately, I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented decision.
	Extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.
	So my head whips around.
	I'm like, wait a minute.
	First of all, this was not passed by a strong majority.
	This thing kind of eked by.
	So that's not true.
	Yeah, that's a lie.
	But this is what the Supreme Court does.
	And I'm like, wait, the Supreme Court overturns stuff all the time.
	And he's saying it would be unprecedented?
	Well, I have a clip of him after they overturned it, and he's bitching.
	He's backpedaling.
	No, this is not the backpedaling one.
	This is the first commentary that he had to backpedal from.
	Ah, okay.
	Should I kind of just play it?
	Yeah, just run that.
	It also has a little follow-up information about the Supreme Court.
	They're just doing their jobs.
	The biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint.
	That an unelected group of people would somehow overturn.
	Whoa!
	An unelected group?
	Hey, hey, they're just some dudes in dresses.
	I thought this guy was a constitutional lawyer.
	They're just some dudes in dresses.
	They're not elected.
	What is he playing?
	The Libyan, Egypt card here?
	Totally.
	Totally.
	A banana republic with his commentary?
	Yeah, totally.
	And passed law.
	Well, there's a good example.
	He said it would be unprecedented to overturn a law passed by a majority in Congress.
	Judge Smith, a Reagan appointee, demanded a letter from the government by noon tomorrow stating its position on the power of the courts to strike down laws.
	Republicans in Congress pounced, too.
	The Senate's minority leader, Mitch McConnell, circulated a list of 169 times the Supreme Court has struck down federal laws in part or completely.
	Now, that is exactly the point that they're covering up now.
	Because now all the talk is about, oh, this letter, and this judge sent this letter, what are we going to do about the letter?
	And the letter is completely unimportant.
	What's important is the President of the United States, a constitutional law professor, according to his resume, He said that this was unprecedented.
	It was very clear what he said.
	He didn't say...
	He said it twice.
	He said it in your clip, and he said it in my clip, which is a different clip.
	And let me just ask.
	He didn't say...
	He didn't caveat that or anything like saying, well...
	No, he said it was unprecedented.
	Nobody ever does this.
	And this guy's supposed to be a constitutional professor?
	Really?
	So spokeshole Carney...
	And I knew it was coming.
	And I'm so happy because the press corps is now...
	Now they're all over it.
	And, of course, none of this is seen on television.
	You have to watch C-SPAN. So the press corps says, sorry, dude, but the Supreme Court has actually done this 159 times.
	It's what they do.
	But listen to how Carney...
	It's just...
	Oh, the hubris of these people is unbelievable.
	Instead of him just saying, hey, he messed up.
	Or, yeah, that wasn't really, you know, really nice, was it?
	He was lying to the public.
	I just wanted to ask, 80 years of president, you keep talking about, but Republicans are pointing to, I think it's 159 different times in the history of America...
	Where the Supreme Court has decided that something is not unconstitutional.
	Obviously not all of those times involving the Commerce Clause, which is a caveat.
	Well, none of them in the last 85 years, and that's what the President was talking about.
	No, he wasn't!
	159 times the Court has said it's unconstitutional.
	If they are citing times when the Court ruled as unconstitutional, something under the Commerce Clause that Congress did, they're basically saying they shouldn't have passed some of the New Deal legislation and perhaps they want to revisit that.
	But the precedent we're talking about here, I mean, you can say that they make this argument about precedent based on something the president didn't say or mean, or we can talk about...
	But to be clear, he didn't specify what you're specifying now.
	He did yesterday.
	But in his original comments, he did not draw out that caveat.
	He just said the whole thing would be unprecedented.
	That's not what he said, Ed.
	That's not certainly what he meant.
	And it was clear to most folks who observe this and understand what...
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, John!
	Most folks who understand this, it was very clear.
	Not like the people, but just like, you know, the elites.
	Only those people really understand it.
	You know that, don't you, Jake?
	Is that issue here?
	That's not true.
	The President said on Monday that it would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a Democratic elected Congress.
	It took him yesterday to talk about the Commerce Clause and on an economic issue.
	But, Nora, I'm telling you.
	There are two instances in the past 80 years where the Supreme Court has overturned stuff.
	U.S. versus Lopez and U.S. versus...
	Nora, what I'm telling you...
	These are very specific legal issues.
	It's not evident to everybody.
	Well, it may not be evident to you, it is clear that the president was talking about matters like this that involve the Commerce Clause, that involve Congress passing legislation to deal with issues of national economic importance.
	National economic matters like this.
	So, the president effed up.
	And Carney just can't bring himself to say it.
	It may not be clear to you, Nora.
	You're a woman.
	You're stupid.
	And only folks who are smart understand this.
	And the president wasn't talking to the people.
	He was talking to smart people.
	Only smart people who get it.
	Don't you get it?
	And of course, this can't be reported on the news that the president's out there lying for political benefit.
	So then they just come up with this whole letter thing.
	Oh, let's hype the letter then.
	At least that'll cover up the blatant lie.
	And they even bring in Bill Clinton, who looks like he's on death's door.
	That poor guy.
	Eat some meat, my friend.
	Really.
	Listen to what he says.
	I believe George Washington signed a bill to require able-bodied male citizens to have a rifle in their home.
	So if those facts are right...
	What is this case about anyway?
	Are you high?
	He's talking about the militia act.
	There's a clip of the day.
	He's talking about the militia.
	It's like a non sequitur.
	The militia act of 1792, man.
	Come on.
	Cliff of the day.
	He's talking about the two militia acts of 1792 when the president said, hey, you gotta have a gun in your house.
	No, he didn't say that.
	This was about calling for the organization of state militias.
	It was a whole different thing.
	And that's the best Clinton can come up with?
	Oh!
	To me, that was just like, wow!
	It's also a form of a lie.
	Well, we know Bill Clinton lies.
	We know that.
	It's proven.
	He was impeached for lying.
	Liar.
	He's lying under oath.
	Yeah, just a minor thing.
	So, you know, there are some people blogging about this, obviously, and there's, you know, a little bit going on about, hey, man, that's not okay.
	And so then, you know, all of a sudden, I'm thinking, you know, let me just go back and look at a couple more of these big lies.
	You remember, February 9th, this was the big news.
	The settlement we've reached today, thanks to the work of some of the folks who are on this stage.
	This is the largest joint federal-state settlement in our nation's history.
	Right.
	Remember what that was about, John?
	No, I don't.
	That was the big bank settlement.
	$26 billion.
	They're going to pay people back.
	Remember all that?
	Oh, yeah.
	Vaguely.
	Yeah.
	And I remember I said, oh, well, he announced the deal.
	There was no deal.
	There still is no deal.
	Only yesterday have papers been filed.
	So now we're like two months later.
	Two months after...
	Well, this is like the gays in the military thing that he was full of crap about.
	But this hasn't even...
	There's not even a deal yet.
	But I figured out what happened.
	So finally...
	And this is where all of the states, the governors, or the attorney generals, actually, the state's attorney generals are getting this money.
	Some are going to spend it on hookers.
	Others will give it to people, whatever it is.
	And the way it's supposed to go is...
	Roughly one million people were supposed to have their principal loan amount slashed up to $100,000 and then some other poor pathetic slaves would get like two grand.
	Remember that?
	Like, yeah, shut up.
	And so the banks were, you know, they're on the hook for this.
	But they never were because the deal has still not been signed.
	The papers have been filed.
	We still have not seen the official paperwork because it's a lie.
	But I figured out why.
	You see, in the stipulation, I remember all this clearly, because I don't know which episode it was, but go back to around February 9th and you'll find it.
	The one stipulation was this would not count towards people whose mortgages were backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
	Right?
	That was a little gotcha.
	So what do you think has been happening in the two months since the President announced this great deal for everybody, And now paper's being filed.
	Well, you don't know, I'll tell you.
	The banks have sold all those mortgages to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, so they won't have to pay anything.
	Yeah, well, it needed a little time to do that.
	Yeah, and they got it.
	And where's our press corps on this?
	Douchebag!
	I don't have the clip.
	I had the clip, but I'm saving it for some deeper research.
	Woodward and Bernstein were again at some event that was shown on C-SPAN. And I think it was Woodward who says he went around this about the media.
	He says he went around and asked all the news editors, how many editorials or articles have you written in the last couple of years that the Obama administration was upset with?
	And the answer, he says, was universally none.
	What?
	Because they just follow the rules, right?
	Yeah, they follow the rules.
	They make sure to get into the events.
	They don't get kicked out of the press corps that covers Washington.
	You know, it's all a scam.
	I mean, I'm surprised that you're getting these clips of these irked reporters, even though this stuff's still not showing up in the newspaper, which is the point you make.
	The reporter goes in there, asks a good question, he gets crapped on by Carney.
	You're an idiot.
	And they won't be able to write that up because the editors won't let it fly.
	It's not going to happen.
	You want an even better one?
	Really funny?
	So, do you remember we found that website, Rewards for Justice?
	Remember Rewards for Justice?
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay.
	So, Rewards for Justice came out.
	Let me just get the site here for a second.
	Rewards for Justice.
	Here we go.
	They came out with a new dude.
	Ten million bucks for Havis Mohammed Saeed, former professor of Arabic and engineering, as well as founding member of Jamaat-u-Dawa, a radical Hadith Islamist organization dedicated to installing Islamist rule over parts of India and Pakistan.
	Said is suspected of masterminding numerous terrorist attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which resulted in the deaths of 166 people.
	So, here it is.
	The Republic of India has issued an Interpol Red Corner Notice against Saeed for his role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
	Additionally, the United States Department of the Treasury has designated Saeed as a specially designated national, which is not like an award.
	It's not a good thing.
	Saeed was also individually designated by the United Nations under UNSCR 1267 in December 2008.
	So, this all of a sudden pops up, and then the guy, Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, he does a press conference.
	I kid you not.
	He does a press conference in Pakistan.
	He says, Hey, I'm here!
	I'm quoting, because it was not in English.
	I'm here.
	I am visible.
	America should give that reward money to me.
	I'll be in Lahore tomorrow.
	I'll be there all week, everybody.
	America can contact me whenever it wants.
	Like, what is going on here?
	And so I tune into the State Department's press corps conference.
	And Victoria's not allowed to do them this week.
	Victoria Newland, who's my favorite.
	Because this is kind of touchy.
	So they bring in...
	I forget the guy's name.
	Douchebag.
	And he gets grilled on this.
	And it's the truth of the matter.
	I'm not saying the fact of the matter.
	But the truth of this matter...
	Let's be very clear, because I've been getting questions all morning.
	Hey, if you know where he is, why issue this reward?
	Just to clarify, the $10 million is for information not about his location, but information that leads to an arrest or conviction.
	And this is information that could withstand judicial scrutiny.
	So I think what's important here is we're not seeking this guy's location.
	We all know where he is.
	So, you know, they could drone him.
	Ten million dollars.
	It's not for where we know where he is.
	What is this ten million dollars about then?
	Of our money, by the way.
	You know, every journalist in Pakistan and in the region knows how to find him.
	But we're looking for information that can be usable to convict him in a court of law.
	If he's already been indicted, as Toria said yesterday, if he's already been indicted, presumably the prosecutors have information.
	Otherwise, he wouldn't have been indicted.
	You're talking about he's indicted within the U.S.? Anywhere.
	Well, again, I think what they're trying to...
	I didn't edit that, by the way.
	This is the guy.
	Get information that can be used to put this gentleman behind bars.
	There is no information right now?
	There's information, there's intelligence that is not necessarily usable in a court of law.
	The reporter's now laughing.
	The really?
	Really?
	He actually did a really on him, which I like that.
	Really?
	There isn't information out there that could be used.
	I think that the Rewards for Justice announcement speaks for itself insofar as saying that they're looking for evidence that can be used against them that implicates them.
	Victoria had said yesterday or the day before as well that the Pakistanis were aware We know where the guy is.
	We're looking for information that can convict him of the Mumbai attacks, of which, by the way, a certain David Headley has already been convicted of being the mastermind of that.
	You can't touch our Pakistani nationals.
	If you want the guy, you've got to come up with some real information.
	But India, as even our spokeshole says, India has issued an Interpol red corner notice.
	India wants the guy.
	And we clearly have to suck up to India for some reason.
	Now, let me just roll this back a few.
	Here we go.
	The kind of evidence that the Pakistanis can then arrest this individual and try him.
	I'm confused.
	If there's not any evidence, why is this guy a wanted terrorist?
	If you...
	I mean, you could put anyone's face and name up there and say, I'll give you 10 million if...
	Thank you!
	This guy is good.
	I don't know who he is.
	They never cut to him.
	I've heard this guy before.
	He's good.
	I mean, you could put anyone's face up there.
	Well, that's essentially what is happening here.
	You can give me some information that connects him to some attack someplace.
	Why...
	There has to be something out there.
	Well, you know, there is...
	I think the guy should sue for slander.
	Yeah, well, here comes the final wind-up.
	There must be something.
	You've got something on the guy, don't you?
	Yeah, there is...
	But it can't be used in court.
	Correct.
	Well, that means that there is not any...
	That means that there's...
	I don't get what kind of information you're talking about.
	It's based on intelligence and that can't be used in court.
	Not to my understanding, but I can't talk about it in detail.
	In 2009, David Headley was arrested and he testified in court in a plea bargain deal on the Mumbai attacks.
	Is the evidence, if the evidence isn't sufficient, then what about the testimony he gave testifying that he was trained by Lashkar-e-Tahiba to carry out the Mumbai attacks?
	Is that evidence then not usable because it was then used to convince someone?
	Good question!
	You know what, I'm not conversant on the evidence that he gave in that case, so I'd have to refer you to the relevant law enforcement agencies as well as to the lawyers.
	I just don't know.
	Douchebag!
	Well, round of applause for the press corps at the State Department.
	Good job.
	Of course, you won't see that on your news, which is, I presume, one of the reasons.
	No, you have to look at these press conferences to get the news.
	It's ridiculous.
	Well, that's what we do.
	These guys are supposed to do these conferences, and then someone's supposed to write it up and present it to the public, and they're supposed to get, you know, so they don't have to kind of thing.
	Yeah, but...
	You know, we ask the questions of these idiots so you don't have to, and it never gets reported.
	It doesn't end up in the paper.
	And in this case, I thought it was actually highly entertaining.
	Yeah, that was entertaining.
	Actually, the State Department events tend to be more entertaining than the sheepish press corps for the White House.
	They're all afraid that they're going to get kicked out of the corps.
	Yeah, because if you ask the wrong question, you don't get invited back.
	I mean, this is the basic corruption of the media.
	And it's essentially institutionalized.
	If I got a pass to go to the, to ask the president questions at one of these press conferences, I have to be specially vetted.
	I'm vetted.
	I go to the thing and I ask a softball question, might get invited back.
	If I ask a really tough question and then demand a follow-up because he doesn't ask, I'm done.
	I better do a really good job.
	Yeah, you're off the list.
	That one time because I'm out of there.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's the way it works, and that's what everyone complains about.
	Well, this is why we are still in business, is because we are able to bring this stuff, because people support the show, and I sit on my increasingly flabby ass, watching C-SPAN, reading legislation, And looking at what's really going on.
	And it's a sad state of affairs, but eventually...
	Well, we're not going to be invited to the White House press corps anytime soon.
	Or any of the cool parties.
	Right.
	No, you get blackballed.
	I mentioned in the open...
	In fact, there could be more shows like ours.
	There are a few.
	There's a couple out there.
	I agree.
	It's a growth market.
	It's a growth market.
	Yeah, it's a growth market because once somebody gets blackballed from one of these scenes, they have no other choice.
	The problem is, no one has figured out that the only way to do it is to do it with the audience.
	Which is what we do.
	Look at knowagenthenewsnetwork.com if you've never seen that.
	That's because we're both actually trained in this environment.
	This is true.
	We're house trained.
	Some poor schlub who's been in the media his whole life working for a newspaper under some mean editor.
	They're clueless.
	So they can't make the jump.
	So did you, a number of people asked me to look into this, and I'd seen it, but I was like, whatever.
	This is what's also good about the show, is people will just hound you.
	Like, dude, you've got to look at this, you've got to look at this.
	So this, that's literally what, dude, dude, hey dude, dude, you've got to look at this.
	The Arizona House Bill 2549er.
	You know what this is about?
	Yeah.
	I don't know what it's about.
	Okay, so it's in the show notes.
	I might actually.
	What's the bill number?
	2549er.
	And you will find it in the show notes marked up for your convenience at 397.nashownotes.com.
	This is a change of the Arizona...
	Here it is.
	Amending sections 13-29016 and 13-2923 Arizona revised statutes relating to electronic or digital devices.
	Oh, this is that...
	Harassment law.
	Yeah, I know this law.
	I need to write about this.
	It's so funny.
	So let me...
	So if you look at the actual bill, it's actually like a red-lined copy, which is kind of cool.
	Because previously, it would say...
	It is unlawful for...
	I'm reading from section 1329 or 16A. It is unlawful for any person with intent...
	Intent, by the way.
	Words matter.
	Intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy, or offend to use a telephone, and that is crossed out and changed to any electronic or digital device.
	And use any obscene, lewd, or profane language, or suggest any lewd or lascivious act, or threaten to inflict physical harm to the person or property of the person.
	It is also unlawful to otherwise disturb by repeated anonymous, and telephone calls as crossed out, electronic or digital communications, like email or comments, the peace, quiet, or right of privacy of any person at the place where the telephone call, scratched out, communications were received.
	Any person who violates this section is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
	Class 1 misdemeanor is punishable by 12 months in jail and $2,500 in fines, or both.
	So the things that are, and you should write a column about this, the things that are a little disturbing is words like intent, So even if you didn't, even if someone can prove intent, to annoy or offend, harass, I mean that is basically what the internet is.
	The whole thing is meant to annoy and harass and offend.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And this reminds me of these boneheads who come into the game late and then they say, you can't use a hyperlink.
	It links to my site.
	I don't want that.
	That's lame.
	What are you doing on the internet if you don't want to be hyperlinked?
	I mean, this is like these idiots in Belgium who were running this newspaper organization and they got sick of Google taking the clips.
	You search for something, Google shows up.
	You're stealing our content.
	Robots.txt, by the way, will stop this immediately so people can do it on their own.
	Yeah, they wanted the promotion, but they didn't want Google like...
	They didn't want Google scanning them.
	So, which by the way, like I said, they were idiots because they didn't know you could use robot.txt and they'll stop.
	They'll stop in the drop of a hat.
	But no, they made a big stink about it so Google blackballed them.
	And they won't link to them under any circumstances.
	And then like six months later, these guys come begging Google.
	You won't link to me.
	We're going broke.
	Now, of course, the pundits are out there, you know, it's very obvious what this is about.
	Yeah, but words matter.
	That's the way I see it, you know?
	Because words do matter.
	I mean, this show will be, if this is passed by Jan Brewer, if she puts her signature under it, this program is by definition illegal in Arizona.
	Because we use obscene, lewd, and profane language, lewd and lascivious acts, I have definitely threatened to inflict physical harm to persons and property, and I'm very, well, you're annoying and you offend!
	That's four.
	I haven't heard you threaten violence.
	No, I've definitely said I will shoot you to TSA people.
	Oh yeah, jokingly.
	Well, do I have intent?
	I've got weapons.
	Yeah, I think you could prove intent.
	So what happens to out-of-state people?
	Most of these, do they really think that this is all taking place within the confines of Arizona?
	I don't know.
	Or are they going to put an extradition order out for every citizen in the country that they track down in a chat room who says, you suck?
	You suck, douchebag.
	By the way, douchebag.
	I wonder if we do like 14 douchebag call-outs in one show, is that then 14 counts?
	Do we then get 14 years in the slammer in Arizona?
	$2,500 per count, I would guess.
	Yeah, and 12 months in jail.
	Anyway, it winds up here.
	And by the way, you know that program Girls Nearby or whatever it was called, they got everyone talking.
	The app.
	The app, you mean.
	Well, the app.
	According to this story, it's a Class C felony under this law.
	Felony for stalking and intimidation up to 25 years in jail.
	So if you go rolling up to someone and using that app, hey babe, nice top.
	Is that how you do it, John?
	Let me just write that down.
	Hey babe, nice top.
	I have a column on this and I have the whole procedure that you should use if you're going to use this app and what will work and what won't work.
	That was an example of something that won't work.
	It'll get you slapped if you want to get slapped.
	So that was one of the many stories.
	And I thank you very much, everybody, for hounding me on that, because once I saw the bill, which is what I do, I enjoy this so much.
	I enjoy reading legislation.
	You know, you can wake me up at 7 a.m.
	and say, hey, man, I got a new bill for you.
	And I'm like, cool.
	It's like Christmas, Christmas in April.
	Another thing that came in, and this I'm sure you received a lot of, this was tweeted everywhere, and I have a serious question about this.
	Maybe Atomic Rod can help us out.
	And I have my doubts about it.
	So, actually there's two stories.
	One is, United States draws up plans for nuclear drones.
	So they're talking about a new generation of nuclear-powered drones capable of flying over remote regions of the world for months on end without refueling.
	And along with that comes Boeing is very close now to developing its hydrogen-powered Phantom Eye unmanned drone, which will also effectively do the same.
	So if this is possible, if you can have nuclear energy, a reactor, small enough To be in a drone.
	Why don't I have that in my backyard?
	Your car.
	Why don't we have it in the car?
	Why don't we have it in airplanes already?
	So either this is a total bullcrap story, anything that comes from Wired, I'm pretty much sure it is, or, hallelujah, how awesome is that?
	It'd be great.
	You never get gas ever.
	Yeah, get me one of those.
	I'll put it right in the backyard.
	One load of fuel would last, I think, I don't know what the...
	Months?
	No, I think it lasts, which, by the way, I think is the bogus part.
	I suppose if you made it small enough, it might only last months, but this should last years.
	But seriously, just know...
	Talk to Rod about it.
	I know he's listening, but just thinking about...
	I do know something about aviation.
	You're going to need a power plant in these things.
	And let's just say we have a drone the size of a Cessna.
	I mean, that thing gulps 16 gallons an hour of fuel.
	The engine is 300 plus horsepower.
	That's some serious stuff you're talking about.
	You can power...
	Just give me a 300-horsepower generator.
	How many KVAs can we get out of that?
	You can power a house with that, and it makes no noise.
	This is beautiful.
	And apparently it's safe enough to fly over the whole world, so no one's concerned about that.
	I think this story's bogus.
	Let me just see who...
	I think it was a Wired story.
	Let me just double...
	It was everywhere, but usually...
	They float into the...
	Everyone catches everyone's attention.
	Oh, Guardian.
	Not all.
	The old-timers are still pretty competent, but these new writers that come out of J school who never took science, and then the next thing you know, they're writing about it.
	Science!
	They get completely suckered by these PR companies or whoever's trying to get this stuff to get into print.
	Well, so this is from The Guardian.
	According to a summary of the research published by the Federation of American Scientists...
	Computer-based productions were used to test the concepts based on requirements and direction provided by Northrop Grumman.
	Sandia performed focused studies to translate stated needs into conceptual designs and processes that could be transferred easily from Sandia to industry design and production personnel.
	So it's been studied, and science is in, and it's good to go.
	Yeah, well, maybe on paper.
	Well, I'm very, very excited.
	Because, get me one of these.
	I'm not afraid of it.
	I'm really not afraid of it.
	Especially if it can fly over in the skies.
	This is great.
	Here, the potential impact of nuclear-powered drones can be gauged by comparing them with existing aircraft such as the MQ-9 Reaper.
	Of which, by the way, another one just crashed in the Seychelles yesterday.
	It careened off of the, on landing, careened off the runway into the ocean.
	Ha!
	It literally careened.
	That's a good word.
	It careened.
	It touched down on the runway and bounced a few times before ending in the sea at the extreme southern end of the runway.
	You're coming in too hot.
	Yes, that's exactly what it is.
	It came in too hot, bounced around.
	It's called porpoising.
	And it couldn't stop.
	They should have done a go-around, but there's a bunch of idiots flying these things, I guess.
	Anyway, the MQ-9 Reaper, which is used extensively in Afghanistan, Pakistan, in operations against insurgents, the Reaper presently carries nearly two tons of fuel, in addition to a similar weight of munitions, i.e.
	hellfires, and other equipment, and can stay airborne for 42 hours.
	So, using nuclear power would enable the Reaper not only to remain airborne for far longer, but to carry more missiles.
	Yay!
	We can infer from that, that comment that the nuke, the reactor, weighs less, because it was going to carry more munitions, weighs less than two tons.
	Yes, correct.
	So, and two tons would be 4,000 pounds approximately, so the thing could be 3,000 pounds maybe?
	Yes.
	The size of a small car.
	I think less.
	Yeah, so I can park that in my garage and have that as a power plant.
	I'm all for it.
	Anyway, so Nuclear Rod Adams listens to the show.
	He works in the Navy, and he was on a nuclear submarine for most of his life.
	They have small piles here and there around the campuses.
	I think Berkeley, University of California, Berkeley has a small nuclear reactor in one of the buildings, even though Berkeley is a nuke-free zone with signage all over when you drive into Berkeley.
	Welcome to Berkeley, nuke-free, you know, kind of thing.
	But meanwhile, Cal's got one right there on the campus.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	I didn't know that.
	Very famous little...
	It's one of the oldest reactors, I think, in California.
	Well, listen, I'm very...
	They use it for jacking up, making isotopes and stuff.
	I'm interested.
	I'm interested.
	I'm very interested in a nuke in my backyard.
	I'm not afraid.
	I'm really not.
	It just seems like perfect.
	And if we're going to be flying them around, hand one over to me.
	Where can I get one?
	It has to be...
	It can't be a million times more expensive.
	I mean, they can't, like...
	No one...
	Nor does it say, oh, well, you know, it's going to be so expensive.
	No, the drones are supposed to be cheaper.
	No, you think that technology by now would be cheaper...
	I mean, it's just the cost of the fuel, which is down.
	It's been depressed because of Fukushima.
	I mean, because everyone's, oh, it was bad.
	And I think it would be, yeah, a little thing.
	If it was the size of, let's say, a smart car.
	What's a smart car weigh?
	Oh, it's nothing.
	I've had one.
	I had a smart car.
	What, 2,500 pounds, maybe?
	Maybe.
	It's made out of plastic.
	Well, let's assume it was made out of steel.
	That's the size I'm imagining the device to be.
	The size of a smart car?
	Really?
	You think that big even?
	730 kilos.
	1,609 pounds.
	Okay, so if it was made out of steel and lead, which you'd have to be if it was a power plant, it would probably weigh close to 4,000 pounds and you'd come out with some wheels and you could push it over to where you want it and then you lock it down so a tornado doesn't pick it up.
	Yeah, and if you don't like it, then you push the thing down the hill, get rid of it.
	Right into Lake Travis.
	Perfect.
	Perfect.
	Anyway, that was just my little thought.
	I like it.
	I thought it was a very good idea.
	So back to Arizona.
	By the way...
	Is she going to sign this thing?
	She's nuts.
	But people, you can do this at home.
	Here's what I'm noticing.
	I also noticed on NoGen, the news network, which is a little irritating, but I don't mind the clicking.
	So people will find something on activistpost.com or something else.
	And, you know, down at the bottom of the story it says source here, and you click there, and then that story says, oh no, source here.
	And then finally you trace it back to the original source, which is usually, in many cases actually, like an AP or a Reuters.
	And from there, you know, when you see like these scientists said, you know, go look at the research, go download the paper.
	You know, you've got to do a little more than just like read Wired.
	The worst in that is that you're getting, it's almost like we tell the joke to one person after another.
	I have seen these stories because I was working on one the other day.
	I found the story, it sounded pretty exciting, but it was referencing something else.
	I went back to that, it was referencing something else.
	Then when you went back to the original one, the story was bogus.
	Yeah.
	It was like, wait a minute, that's not what they're saying.
	Why are you interpreting it this way?
	No, you've got to be careful.
	You've got to be careful.
	Yeah, so you can do this.
	And reporters could do this.
	And the news could do this.
	That's time consuming.
	No one seems to really care.
	You know, one thing we didn't, just talking about not caring, we seem to have just completely given up or we didn't follow the M-80 bomber story at all.
	What was the M-80 bomber story?
	This is the guy that was caught by TSA. Oh, and he had homemade bombs in his butt.
	He didn't have any homemade bombs.
	He had some firecrackers.
	Firecrackers, right.
	The hearing for a man accused of trying to bring explosives onto a plane headed to San Francisco was delayed today.
	29-year-old Joseph Piccolo was detained in Philadelphia yesterday after airport screeners found M-80s and a bottle filled with flash powder inside his backpack.
	Piccolo told authorities he left the explosives in his backpack by accident.
	He's due back in federal court on Tuesday.
	Right.
	First of all, the guy looks like a stoner who would forget.
	Yeah.
	Oh, dude.
	Oh, crap.
	Oh, man.
	I forgot.
	And he had some flash powder, which is, I don't know what he's going to use that for.
	Maybe he's a photographer.
	I have no idea.
	Or a magician.
	But in the M80s, he had a couple of M80s, which is a big firecracker.
	They're nasty.
	But what is the point?
	I mean, so now this guy is screwed for life.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, he's going away.
	But you can be sure that the DHS and the TSA are going to be bragging about how they stopped a mad bomber.
	Yeah.
	Finally, they got one.
	Yeah, they got one.
	He's a stoner.
	We got him.
	We got the stoner.
	Anyway, I don't know.
	We never picked it up.
	No, no, we did.
	No, you did, actually.
	You just don't remember.
	Oh, I can't.
	I'm 60.
	What?
	Wait a minute.
	Yes, citizen.
	Don't be alarmed.
	We're here on official business.
	But we're forgetful.
	So, at the end of the last show, we had a nice little chat about the change in the DSM. That's the manual for a mental disease, which the pharmaceutical industry uses to pay doctors to push crap on you that you don't really need that will make you wacky.
	Wiggy.
	Make you wig out.
	There's a new term.
	Wig out.
	Remember that one, John?
	Yeah, man.
	He wigged out.
	He was wigging out.
	He was wigging out, man.
	That was a good term.
	We need to bring that back.
	Wigging out.
	Wigging out.
	Oh, you know, we were sitting with one of our neighbors having some drinks the other day.
	They're older.
	They're older than you.
	And she used a term.
	She said, no shit, Sherlock.
	I'm like, wow, that's another one.
	Oh, yeah, that's an old classic.
	I haven't heard that one in a long time either.
	But we're talking about, so this DSM-5, which is coming, and there's a great one-hour YouTube video.
	You'll find it at the show notes, 397.nashownotes.com, under video, about the DSM. And how everyone knows it's not based on science or anything.
	It's just bullcrap.
	And I think we're listed in it as, you know, if you're a conspiracy theorist, you should be taking Zoloft or whatever.
	There's something in there for us.
	And so our conversation struck a chord.
	I got a lot of emails, as I hoped I would, actually, from parents who listen to the show.
	And it's very hopeful stuff.
	It's very positive.
	Can I share one of them with you that I got from Will, one of our producers?
	Adam, John, enjoy the show.
	Thank you.
	Just wanted to send a note in regards to autism and how quickly doctors and other specialists love to jump on diagnosing it and prescribing drugs.
	My son started talking, quote, early at around eight to nine months, simple words like da-da and milk, but then suddenly stopped at around 12 months.
	Instead, he would point and grunt or make other sounds.
	Clicking his tongue meant truck, for instance.
	That's what you think, Will.
	Doctors were quick to jump on something being wrong with him and prescribe him meds and treatment, but I knew he was okay.
	He was just doing his own thing.
	We did get a speech therapist, but that did little more than frustrate and piss him off.
	I like a little pissed off kid.
	Yeah, a 12-month, pissed off 12-month-old.
	I know many parents get scared and want to do the right thing, so they listen to these idiots and drug their kids.
	They'll be better off doing their own research.
	We did.
	We found out that rather than autism, these late-talking kids are often described as having Einstein syndrome.
	Have you ever heard of this?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, Einstein, I think, when we went to...
	Five.
	Five.
	He was five until he started talking.
	Five before he said a word.
	And, you know, the first thing they said to him, he said, well, what?
	Why did it take you so long to say something?
	He said, eh, I had nothing to say.
	Nothing to say.
	Exactly.
	So, we found out he had Einstein Syndrome as he was a famous, Einstein a famous late talker himself.
	There have been many geniuses that had only started talking after three or four years of age.
	The developing mind can only do so much as it is growing.
	Rather than the speech portion of the brain developing first, another area is taking over instead.
	When my son was a little over three years old, he suddenly started talking again.
	Just as if someone flipped a switch.
	The amazing thing is his speech was normal, speaking in age-appropriate sentences.
	He's now four and a half, well ahead of his peers.
	People often comment he sounds like a six-year-old.
	He reads and writes, does simple math, counts to a thousand if you let him.
	He can even read large numbers in the hundreds of thousands or millions.
	By the way, not having a TV, a.k.a.
	what we call the brain-sucking machine in the house, probably helps too.
	So I just thought it was a really nice story.
	And, you know, because I was not familiar with the Einstein Syndrome.
	It's in the Book of Knowledge.
	A term Thomas Sowell used to describe the exceptionally bright people who experience a delay in development of speech.
	Yeah, nowadays you drug them so they never can develop their brain at all and they're idiots when they get older.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Well, I found a very unusual big pharma new market.
	Hey now.
	I ran into an ad.
	It's the...
	Let's see what ad.
	New Angle?
	It must be...
	What?
	New Angle?
	Or New Usages.
	Let me set this up.
	Which one is it?
	Is it New Angle or New Usages?
	New Angle.
	Okay.
	So let me set this up.
	The ad has a dog...
	Oh, I've seen this.
	Yeah, I've seen this one.
	Running through a bunch of pipes.
	Clear pipes because they don't want the dog to get out into the open because he might catch something.
	And it's a drug ad in the same format, the money-making format.
	And I heard a guy who did one of the first ads for the drug companies that resulted in these huge sales upticks because people, they advertise and they go, you know, ask for a dog.
	But they've decided to, let's go to the real, the real money.
	People's animals.
	Come here, bud!
	There you go.
	Come on, let's play!
	There's an easier way to protect your dog from dangerous parasites.
	Good boy!
	Fish!
	Trifexis is the monthly beef-flavored tablet that prevents heartworm disease, kills fleas, and prevents infestations, and treats hook, round, and whipworm infections.
	Treatment with fewer than three monthly doses after exposure to mosquitoes may not provide complete heartworm prevention.
	The most common adverse reactions were vomiting, itching, and lethargy.
	Serious adverse reactions have been reported following concomitant extra-label use of ivermectin with spinosad alone, one of the components of Trifexis.
	Prior to administration, dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infection.
	To learn more about Trifexas, talk to your veterinarian.
	Call 888-545-5973 or visit Trifexas.com.
	You don't have to go to extremes to protect your dog from parasites.
	You need Trifexas.
	Visit our website to save up to $20.
	Available by prescription from your veterinarian.
	Anal leakage may occur in some breeds.
	So I just said, wow, this is a good one.
	And it's the same formula.
	Did you hear the wolf howl in there?
	Yeah.
	There was a little wolf howl in there.
	They used my sound effect.
	Here, listen to it again.
	973 or visit Trifexas.com.
	You don't have to go to extremes to protect you.
	It's the same one.
	It's exactly the same.
	It's the same wolf.
	Same formula.
	The dog is not a wolf.
	It was a beagle, I think.
	So this proves our point.
	That the disclaim, because I'm sure there's no law that you've got to disclaim all these drugs for the dog.
	You might get depressed.
	It's a dog.
	Please.
	So it just proves people respond to that.
	Oh, yeah, that sounds good.
	It's powerful if you need all those protections.
	Yeah, my dog.
	Now it's not ask your doctor if this is right for you.
	Talk to your veterinarian.
	If it's right for your dog.
	No offense to the veterinarians who listen to this show.
	But in terms of basically selling out to Big Pharma for a piece of the action, oh.
	Yeah, well, there goes the audience.
	Thanks, John.
	I'm just saying.
	All those hot chicks who became veterinarians now just switched off the show.
	Meow.
	We're done.
	We're done, I tell you.
	But no, the veteran, especially if you're talking about this, since I've already lost them, there's been a huge increase in these vet chains.
	And people who have pets know about this.
	You know, you used to have the local veterinarian, he's a local guy, and there'd be a dog and a cat side to the building, and you'd go in there, and it wasn't part of any major chain.
	Now there's these chains of vets, very much like Walmarts of veterinarians.
	And you can look this up.
	Yeah.
	And they're huge.
	They're all over the place.
	And they essentially gouge you.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's because people now are buying insurance for their pets, which proves how the insurance thing rips you off.
	Because once the insurance companies got in there, and people are like, well, you know, I might as well pay, you know, $100, $200 a month to insure my pet.
	Now, if you don't have insurance for your pet, you go in.
	I mean, oh, this shot is $400.
	What?
	Yeah.
	It's crazy.
	It's unbelievable.
	No, it's a big scam.
	Well, let's stay on this for a second then, because remember we were tracking tuberculosis.
	The first of many reports, TB, which we know there's a man-made version now out there by their own admission.
	Tuberculosis.
	Oh, it's going to kill everybody.
	Well, we've got to have a vaccine.
	We've got an experimental vaccine.
	Oh, tuberculosis, tuberculosis.
	Well, let's start the fear-mongering.
	A health scare at a local school.
	A student at Lorain High School has tuberculosis.
	So today, students and teachers are going to have access to tuberculosis testing.
	Now, the school notified parents with a letter on Friday, and a recorded message at the county tuberculosis clinic says that the testing will be available starting today.
	You see the number right there on your screen.
	It's 440- Testing.
	A test for tuberculosis.
	This is in Ohio.
	And you notice the usages of the reporter.
	There is some sort of a privilege.
	They're going to have access.
	Access.
	Access.
	To testing.
	Very, yeah.
	I'm glad you caught that.
	What is that?
	What is the...
	What are they conveying when they say that?
	Is there some privilege?
	It's like a special deal for these people?
	Oh, if you get access to testing, you get to be tested.
	Well, if you're not a good slave, you don't get access to the test.
	I've been listening to usages, and that's what this other clip is, this new usages clip.
	You might want to rerun it after I give you that.
	This is about BART in the Bay Area.
	I want you to spot the usage.
	This will be kind of a test, and ask Adam.
	When the guy uses this new usage...
	I mean, it's like a boring clip about how they're changing the seats on the BART trains from wool.
	They always have wool-covered seats to some sort of cheap vinyl because there was a bunch of reports.
	It was all set up as a brainwashing trick.
	They set up a bunch of tests.
	Oh, there's lice in these seats.
	This started months ago about how the dirty old wool seats in BART were crawling with bugs.
	Well, it'll be a refreshing change for a lot of Bay Area backsides.
	One of the biggest and longest standing complaints for BART passengers is gradually being replaced.
	Kit Doe shows us why your next ride could be a whole lot softer and a lot more sanitary.
	There's an unusual smell on this bar train.
	The smell of brand new vinyl seats.
	This one is the first of a hundred cars to get them.
	And Sean Steele makes sure the installation goes smoothly.
	You look like a proud father.
	Oh yes, I am.
	Proud that we're actually introducing or campaigning these seats to our passengers.
	Campaigning?
	What is that supposed to mean?
	I don't know.
	And he stopped himself.
	He says, we're...
	You know, you've played that little part at the end yet, because he says he stops himself and changes the word to campaigning as if he was told to do that.
	I am proud that we're actually introducing or campaigning these seats for our passengers.
	Ah, I guess something hasn't been approved somewhere.
	No, first he was introducing, then he changed the word to campaigning.
	We're campaigning the seats.
	Hmm.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I was just taken aback by this and I have yet to figure out.
	I mean, obviously he was told to say this by somebody above him for some reason.
	But who and where in the spectrum of craziness and of propaganda of public relations decided to use the word campaigning in a public way like this?
	It sounds like this, you know, boardroom speak, you know, kind of crazy.
	Right.
	It's kind of Silicon Valley bullcrap.
	Well, I'm looking now on the Book of Knowledge.
	We're campaigning the seats.
	Yeah, I'm trying to find out.
	Ladies and gentlemen, you knew Bart's seat.
	So maybe campaigning means...
	Well, it means what it means, which is they're just a public...
	It's PR, yeah.
	It's PR. We're campaigning, but maybe he screwed up, and he shouldn't have said that.
	But he almost sounded as though he meant to say it because he had stopped himself.
	Yeah.
	I'm just mulling over this, see if I can find anything...
	I think...
	Was the reporter standing there hearing this and never...
	No, I wouldn't say anything.
	I think...
	Oh, here.
	As it outfits another 100 cars with the vinyl seats for a total of 200 made-over cars, Bart plans to gather rider feedback on the conversion through on-car surveys, as well as through Twitter and Facebook and by phone.
	Hey, hello!
	This is the Bart guy.
	How's your ass?
	My ass is great, man.
	Thank you very much.
	I don't want wool seats.
	It would be nasty.
	People spilling stuff on it and be all sticky gum.
	They've had wool seats since this...
	I don't know when Bart started.
	I think there have been 40, 50 years of wool seats and now all of a sudden they're changing the vinyl.
	I mean, technically, if you want to have a...
	You know, a comfy seat, you want some sort of cloth, but this cloth is no good.
	And if you want something that lasts a long time, you just make a solid plastic seat like they do in the New York subways.
	Yeah.
	You're going to hose it down.
	I don't know what they're up to.
	Hose it down.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Eh, Coney's back.
	Just mentioned that.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	They're going to do a second movie.
	Yeah, it's out now.
	It came out.
	Oh, it is?
	Yep.
	That was quick.
	Coney 2012 Part 2, Beyond Famous.
	Yeah.
	It's about 19, 20 minutes.
	And, of course, being heavily promoted all on all the news networks.
	The first one went so incredibly viral!
	Let's check it out.
	Let's see how this one is doing.
	Let me go to their webpage here for a second.
	Coney 2012.
	Oh, 302 views.
	I guess they didn't...
	They didn't turn the bots on.
	No, let me see.
	Well, the bots will go on in a second.
	Let me see.
	Let me just make sure I've got the right page.
	I just want to be absolutely sure here.
	I don't want to...
	Let's see.
	I am on YouTube.
	I'm on YouTube right now.
	302 views.
	That's all they got.
	Hey, the intro's pretty funny.
	Or Facebook recently, you've probably seen a new campaign called Kony 2012.
	It's gone viral.
	One million hits per hour.
	Sixty.
	One hundred million people have now won.
	Is social media at its best?
	It's uniting people all across the world.
	Is this the new way to move the world to action?
	But this movie is not without critics.
	Critics say the film manipulates the facts.
	Simplifying the story.
	Oversimplifying a wildly complex issue.
	That the message is too late.
	Joseph Coney and his forces have been significant.
	Here's my favorite part.
	Listen to this.
	They actually put Alex Jones in there.
	They're so brazen.
	They put Alex Jones in, who's saying, pro-war activism!
	Which could be interpreted either.
	Well, that's the whole point.
	They're using him for their...
	to promote his message.
	These white Westerners sort of getting on a bandwagon and actually they haven't got a clue what they're talking about.
	Anyway.
	302 views.
	Turn on the bots, people.
	Yeah, get your numbers up.
	I mean, and it's been on...
	Get your bogus numbers up.
	It's been on CNN all morning.
	All morning.
	302 views.
	So, so much for the...
	And, you know, they say, well, we can't wait for this one to go viral.
	Really?
	So I think if you want to talk about publicity stunts...
	Oh, what you got?
	Donald Trump.
	Yeah.
	You know, they think, well, what are we going to do about our ratings in Canada for the Miss Canada thing?
	I don't know.
	What can we do that would get everyone to watch?
	Here's an idea.
	Donald Trump has had a change of heart about a transgendered beauty contestant entering the Miss Universe contest.
	Two weeks ago, pageant organizers forced Jenna Telikova out of the Miss Universe Canada contest after discovering that she was once a boy.
	The Miss Universe competition requires each contestant to be born as a woman.
	I am a woman.
	I was devastated and I felt that excluding me for the reason that they gave was unjust.
	Wow.
	But now pageant owner Donald Trump is overturning that decision.
	He says Telekova can enter as long as Canada recognizes her gender as a woman.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	I thought that was genius.
	Yeah, it's very smart.
	And then the woman, of course, you heard the female talking head on CBS say, wow, because this girl is quite pretty.
	She is, yeah, she's very pretty.
	And, of course, you got Gloria Allred there immediately to get some publicity for herself.
	You know, you know, I thought that one was a total douchebag, but she actually...
	Do you know that she was raped, and then that's how she got started with suing for...
	Oh, no, I didn't know that.
	Yeah, I didn't know that either, and I always thought she was a total douche knuckle, and then I really heard her entire story, and she started...
	She represented Roe v.
	Wade, like it or not.
	I mean, she is a serious lawyer, and she had to have an illegal abortion after she got raped.
	So, you know, I'm a little hesitant.
	Wow, my God, this chick's got great legs.
	You're looking her up?
	Yeah, of course.
	But she's got big feet.
	That's the problem.
	Yeah, big feet.
	She has kind of big hands.
	Yeah, she's got...
	Well, that's okay.
	Man hands.
	Yeah.
	Well, not really, but...
	But she's one of those examples, you know, this idea of a chimera.
	Chimera.
	I don't care.
	Advertising.
	So...
	It is really apparent with her, it seems to me, because she really doesn't have any male characteristics facially or a lot of other aspects of her.
	I don't think she'll even come in the final ten.
	I mean, there's a lot prettier girls out there.
	It's going to draw attention to that.
	They're going to have good ratings.
	Duh.
	Duh.
	I don't think she's going to come in.
	No, she's not going to pull it off.
	No.
	But Trump might try to fix it because if she could get into the Miss Universe contest, the big one, which has the big audience, he would pump the numbers.
	So this could be rigged.
	She could be rigged on the fast track to get, to win.
	And the Canadians have to put up with this.
	You know, a guy wins the best looking woman in Canada is a male.
	I mean, it's somewhat culturally insensitive.
	But she's a good looking woman.
	Yeah, I'd do her.
	The Canadians, you know, they could live with it.
	They're pretty low-key.
	We haven't been getting very few donations from Canada.
	Yeah, what's going on with that?
	Maybe this will help.
	Maybe we can ride on Donald Trump's coattails.
	Yeah, it might work.
	Maybe we can ride it out.
	Another piece of legislation I read for y'all.
	Some people have noticed this.
	I actually saw a posting on Dvorak.org slash blog.
	This is House Resolution 3523.com.
	Which has a short title.
	You may cite it as the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011.
	And I think people are incorrectly saying this is the next SOPA PIPA. It's not.
	It is actually a horrible piece of legislation, but it is not that.
	And I recognize this legislation because we've seen this in something else.
	I just can't remember what.
	I think maybe it was in the NDAA, actually, where we saw this initially, where you'll have certified cybersecurity providers in the private sector.
	And if you read this bill, which of course is in the show notes, 397.nashownotes.com, marked up for your convenience.
	It has some definitions here.
	Well, for one thing, this bill reminds me of the thing in Arizona.
	Because it also...
	Well, not really.
	It doesn't really, because this is about sharing.
	What they're saying is, if you are a cybersecurity provider in the private sector, now this could be an ISP, this could be McAfee, AVG, it could be any virus protection company, it could be any number of things, right?
	Right.
	Then you are indemnified...
	I'm sure this was in the NDAA. You are indemnified from sharing this information with the federal government, and the only thing the federal government can't do with the information, or you as a cybersecurity provider, is use it for a competitive advantage.
	So basically, it is encouraging...
	Everyone to snoop on you and then hand it over to the government.
	And, if shared with the federal government, you are then exempt from disclosure under Section 552 of Title V, United States Code, which I looked up as well.
	Now, this is kind of stuff you might want to do on your own, just to look into it.
	But it's really not anything other than more...
	Closing down, clamping down, snooping on our stuff, and giving little brown-shirt Nazis the right to do it.
	I'm not quite sure why people are calling it the follow-on to SOPA, but there's nothing in here about...
	No, this is more like something you'd have in Cuba.
	Or the United Kingdom.
	The latest United Kingdom thing.
	I saw you guys on Twit do the thing about April Fool's jokes, and Leo said, hey, is this an April Fool's joke?
	It's like, no, it's actually true.
	He falls for the April Fool's jokes that are jokes, and then he sees something like, this is too ridiculous to be real.
	And it turns out that this is already...
	Why don't you explain what it is to people who don't...
	Right, so what it is now is all ISPs, everybody in the internet infrastructure, along with cell phones, you name it, now, by law, is tracking what you're doing in the United Kingdom.
	What's interesting...
	Is that this was actually set up as a pilot program in the previous government in the United Kingdom, Gitmo Nation East.
	And that pilot program, everyone was outraged.
	Oh, we can't do it.
	But it actually, it went through.
	It got funded.
	I think like three billion pounds.
	They funded it.
	They set everything up, and now they're just saying, now it's okay to do it.
	So it's not like it's still going to happen.
	It's been ongoing for several years.
	You can find all that in the show notes.
	So this has been happening, only now, I guess this is the way they do it, now it's just like, oh, okay, now it's okay to do it, and so what we've been doing for the past couple years is now legal.
	And, you know, people say they have nothing to hide.
	It was either JC or somebody else that asked the rhetorical question about, you know, they're essentially taking all access to all our personal correspondence, telephone calls and everything, and putting them in a giant database to be searched at will.
	And the rhetorical question was, is this perhaps the reason that there's this weird, almost crazy attack on the U.S. Postal Service?
	Because if we can get rid of them, that's our last point of protection?
	Because there's serious laws about tampering with the mail, looking at your mail, opening your mail.
	Right, right.
	Interesting.
	Yeah, I thought so.
	Maybe we should just start recording the show on mailing it to everybody on CD. Yeah.
	I think that's the way to go, actually.
	Mail it to them.
	It's just a thought.
	We're mailing it in.
	Some people say we're doing that already.
	Donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Now via mail.
	In the morning.
	We got a lot to do today.
	I had another audition, but I don't think that's going to happen today.
	You just want to know what the audition was for?
	What?
	Samsung refrigerators.
	Wow.
	Yeah, that's a big one.
	It's a big one.
	But we can't do it because we have a lot of...
	We have a lot of...
	Because the $60 thing kicked in.
	Whoa.
	Did it ever.
	Why couldn't you be older?
	Why couldn't you just say you were 70?
	It would have been much better.
	I had to wait 10 years for that Benny.
	Yeah.
	So, okay.
	Let's see what we have.
	We have a lot of dollars.
	You see, it's no good because when I turn 48 in September.
	Big deal.
	Yeah, like whoop.
	Whoop-de-doo.
	Well, 50 would be probably good, but who knows?
	Who knows if we'll be around.
	Glenn Riccio in Parts Unknown, $153.
	John and I are here, $60 for John's birthday on the 5th and $43 for my birthday on the 6th with $50 added for the value of the value of the entertainment media assassination.
	Please send out some Fight the Cancer karma for all those who need it added below is my knighthood accounting.
	Yes, and he shall be knighted.
	That's right.
	Hate the cancer.
	We've got karma.
	Add Heistermans.
	Add Heistermans in Shkham.
	In Shkham.
	I don't have a note from him, but it's $129, and I'll look it up.
	Let's see what we got.
	Joseph Wagner in Emeryville.
	I'm above the street.
	$120.
	Happy 60th, John.
	This is a double shot from your friends Joe and Beth down the hill in Emeryville.
	Hey, I'm waving to them right now.
	They can actually see my house.
	Nichelle Moore in Nightdale, North Carolina, $100.
	Sorry to use PayPal for my donation, but I'm on the road and there's the fastest way to send a payment.
	Thanks for all you do.
	Nichelle, North Carolina.
	William Langford in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, $100.
	Happy birthday, John.
	Last karma for my VA exam worked!
	Hey, now!
	They said I could live three more months.
	What?
	I have stage four cancer and the VA can't figure out why I'm still sucking air and costing them money.
	Need karma for our move into the woods.
	I'm going to give you that and another three-month life karma, if you don't mind.
	I'd like to keep you around, my friend.
	You've got karma.
	Wow.
	Three more months!
	Can you imagine that?
	Can you fucking imagine that?
	No.
	No.
	Richard Nossel in Huntersville, North Carolina.
	We got a lot of North Carolinians today.
	$99.99, so we had no agenda karma while driving home on a two-lane highway in North Carolina.
	Slow down to help my wife bring up no agenda.
	A van crossed over the line and almost hit his head on.
	No agenda is a lifesaver.
	That's pretty...
	That's awesome.
	That's a karma right there.
	That's a karma story.
	Yeah, that's a good one.
	Yeah, hold on a second.
	Let me get this thing.
	Let me slow it down.
	Whoa!
	Jeez, we've been killed if we had not listened to No Agenda.
	Yeah.
	Which is kind of a thematic thing if you think about it.
	You can get killed if you don't listen to No Agenda.
	Trevor Chapman, Brampton, Ontario, 7513.
	Thanks for the greatest podcast in the universe.
	And keep the deconstructions coming.
	Please send me a shot of a house selling karma.
	We already bought our new house and need our house to sell to make the mortgage payments.
	Happy 60th, John.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Selling the house karma!
	You've got karma.
	Julian Erickson, Chicago, Illinois, $69.99.
	Thank you for the best podcast in the universe.
	Happy birthday, John.
	I've been a starving entrepreneur the last 11 months with no income, but now I have to go back to corporate work.
	I've been a boner for far too long, so asking for the following de-douching and a new job karma.
	I have a final interview with an amazing tech company on my way to knighthood before the world ends.
	Call out to Melissa and Christian as douchebags.
	Douchebag!
	With love.
	I turned them on to the show years ago and I'm honored to drop a douche on them.
	That's a good one.
	Keep propagating the media assassinations.
	So he needs a...
	De-douching and a karma.
	Yeah.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	I've got all these crazy little flies here.
	There must be a dead body nearby or something.
	Oh, you got Nats.
	Problem in Texas.
	So, 69-99.
	Well, I guess maybe it's going to end our run of 69-69s.
	Jaap Ilgoed.
	Jaap Geelhoed.
	Jaap Geelhoed.
	Geelhoed.
	Geelhoed.
	No, Geelhoed.
	Geelhoed.
	In Wissenkerk.
	Wissenkerke.
	Which is the...
	What does Wissen mean?
	Erased.
	The missing church.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	Very good.
	69, 78.
	I'm sure that's what it means.
	Yeah, the church was once there and it is missing.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I did send a birthday donation on to the 34th of my brother, the real Eric in Hans West.
	Hans West.
	Hans West.
	In the Netherlands, it is a little town known for its crop circles in the area in the past.
	I've been a listener for some time now and getting him to listen to the greatest podcast in the universe was the best gift I could ever give and this saved me some money, a birthday present.
	So US 6978, I have...
	Just sent you guys.
	Those are the years of our birth, 69 and 78.
	I would like to give some wood-removing karma on behalf of our old man, a well-known Dutch ninja trainer, because the local government is trying to fine him 25,000 euros because he has too much wood in his yard.
	Wow.
	So he needs a karma shot.
	I thought it was something else, but yes, wood-removing karma.
	I got it.
	You've got karma.
	I thought the guy had, like, overdone his Viagra or something.
	Ryan Burgett comes in, and from Seattle, Washington, our new 6969 donor.
	So we go.
	Without comment.
	There might be a note in the email.
	Let me just take a quick look.
	All right.
	Then I'll do Trent Smith.
	Hey, guys.
	Also 6969.
	Oh, two!
	Trent Drake from Perth, Australia, as a dedicated listener for the first time donor.
	I'm in desperate need of a two-to-the-head dedouching.
	I got my brother Carl Drake hooked on the show a short time ago by making him listen to the Pipeline episode.
	He's now trying to catch up to the current episode, so I'd like a douchebag call out for him to hear when he reaches this episode, as I can almost guarantee he still won't have donated.
	Adam, if you have a slow news week, I'd love if you could play the Lucifer clip I sent you a few weeks ago.
	The email subject line was Lucifer interview with Australian comedy duo.
	We don't have time today, unfortunately.
	But I went on Sunday.
	But I will do a douchebag two to the head de-douching.
	I think that's kind of what we're looking for.
	Douchebag!
	You've been de-douched.
	Here we go.
	That's one way of doing it.
	Sir GQ in Fort Meade, Maryland.
	Another one, 6969.
	I guess it'll probably be the end of it.
	Sir GQ here out.
	Call out Taylor Terry, Joel Tallman, and Chris Ellis as true believers but non-donating douchebags.
	Douchebag!
	Also, he wants a maestro J.C. Dvorak slide whistle karma for Taylor and I. Thanks, gents.
	Don't mention location.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, way to go there, birthday boy.
	Jonathan Sinor, 6969, no comment.
	Well, I guess it keeps on coming.
	I don't see how we can have any more.
	Oh, yeah.
	Damien Taman in Perth.
	Didn't you just mention him?
	No.
	How many Perth people do we have?
	6969 again.
	That was Trent from Perth is a hotbed of no agenda listenership.
	Apparently.
	Probably too late, but give Johnson getting laid karma for his birthday.
	By the way, last batch of 6969 karma worked very well.
	Please tell all those ass clowns out there that don't donate to go to Dvorak.org slash N-A and donate.
	Okay, well give me some karma.
	Get laid karma.
	You've got karma.
	Christopher, I'm sorry, Bonnie Creswell, I guess.
	Bonnie Creswell in Sydney, New South Wales.
	We've got a lot of Aussies today.
	69, 69 in the morning, you guys.
	Just a small note to say thanks.
	No, no, no.
	It's 60, 69.
	No, on here it says 69, 69.
	I have 60, 69.
	For Bonnie Creswell.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	For Bonnie, no.
	My mistake.
	mistake.
	I'm wrong.
	In the morning to you guys, just a note to say thank you for the karma shot.
	It worked like a dream.
	The auction was a total flop, no real bidder.
	So we managed to get the house of our dreams for a great price.
	Awesome.
	So they went to a house auction and bought the thing for nothing.
	Amen.
	Thank you.
	No bidders.
	In appreciation, can I please request a Hey Citizen Karma shot to you both to help keep the show pulling in the dollars?
	Yeah, well then let me do a new Hey Citizen.
	Let's do the harpsichord.
	That might sound good with some karma.
	Yes, citizen, you may return to your harpsichord.
	You've got karma.
	Kind of got it in the groove even.
	That was good.
	Tight.
	Tight and musical.
	Christopher Malmy and Cherry Valley, Massachusetts nuts.
	$60.69.
	In the morning, happy birthday, John.
	Listen, for years, but I've not donated for a while.
	Now I have a job that pays the bills plus some.
	I want to start sharing again.
	And I want a ring.
	Please mention the cutoff date.
	2013.
	Thank you for everything you guys do.
	Mainstream media and talk radio have always been pathetic.
	Now when I'm stuck listening to the news between weather and traffic, I pick out the memes and distractions of the week.
	It's great.
	Please throw me a de-douching karma.
	No, it is true that it's fun to do.
	Once you've kind of followed along and you get the hang of it, then you do it all the time.
	You've just got to be careful with other people in your household.
	It can get quite annoying.
	Well, also I would remind people that the really good guy, the real good propagandist can still slip it by you.
	Right.
	And just be careful.
	Just be careful because it can result in divorce and all kinds of weird stuff.
	You've been de-douched.
	you've got karma.
	Peter Chizewski in Kirkland, Washington.
	I hope I got that straight.
	$60.69.
	All the best, John, to say.
	60 is the new 40.
	Yeah, that makes me 15.
	Pfft!
	Well, Jonathan Doughty, or I think that would be Doughty.
	Doughty?
	Doughty?
	It could be Doughty.
	I think Doughty, though.
	Doughty.
	In Alpharetta, Georgia.
	$60.
	John and Adam, happy birthday, John.
	Please give a karma shout to my co-worker, Shane Marshall, who bought me a slide whistle.
	All right.
	Yay!
	You guys should get together and jam.
	You've got karma.
	Can you imagine that?
	A slide whistle jam?
	Yeah, I'm sure there's one.
	You know, I gotta say, John...
	I think that should just be our thing.
	I mean, you can get a slide whistle on the cheap, right?
	It's not like you need the really expensive one to be able to play as well as you do.
	Well, the really expensive one is cheap.
	That's the point.
	How much is a really expensive slide whistle?
	They're like $12 to $15.
	No, come on.
	Is that an orchestral approved?
	Yeah, the one I have is an orchestral.
	Really?
	Well, I could be wrong.
	It might be $25.
	It's not like a horn.
	It's not like a saxophone.
	I'm going to order one right now.
	It's just a slide whistle, you know?
	But what's it made of?
	What's it made of?
	Rhino horn?
	No, this is made out of, it looks like, chrome.
	It's chrome steel.
	Really?
	Let me just look one up here on Amazon.
	Let me see.
	I think the one you want...
	What is...
	Is it a Grover?
	Is it a Grover Trophy Slide Whistle?
	Oh, if I see it, I can recognize it.
	It's $9.45.
	That one, there's a honer, but that's a kid's puppy slide flute whistle.
	No, no, you want the big one.
	It's like you blow it on a dog's head.
	I think this is the one.
	Does yours have a brand?
	Yeah, I had the brand in the box.
	I'll tell you what, it's a...
	It should say it on the side.
	Isn't it engraved or something?
	No, it's not.
	It's just all chrome.
	American Plating and Manufacturing?
	Yeah, that's it.
	That's the one.
	$10.05.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm buying it.
	American Plating.
	American Plating.
	I'm buying it right now.
	So when you get the box, it's like these boxes were printed in the late 20s.
	I think they're still selling from their original manufacturing supply.
	Because people, you know, I hate to say this, I know it's kind of a pathetic indictment on the American culture, but nobody's buying slide whistles anymore.
	So this one is new from Musical Instrument Haven, $10.05, with $4.70 shipping.
	Wait, don't I have premium?
	What is it called?
	Amazon Prime?
	Prime.
	Let's see, there we go.
	Here's a trophy metal slide whistle for nine bucks.
	I think, you know, I'm just going to get one right now.
	Amazon's base price for the thing, and it's the same one, is $9.
	It's $9.
	Yeah, it's $9.
	Plus some shipping.
	Yeah, so under $15, you're good to go.
	I think the high schools should think about this as maybe giving to the music department that they're cutting back on.
	Part of the curriculum.
	All slide whistle.
	Part of the curriculum.
	The all slide whistle marching band.
	Now that would be something I'd go to see.
	So I'm just going to do standard shipping.
	Hey, I guess you don't...
	I can't buy this on Prime for some reason.
	And I'm going to share this item now on Twitter.
	Hold on.
	I'm going to share...
	I just bought.
	I just bought.
	You're gonna love it.
	Tweet this item.
	Tweet.
	Oh, that's hilarious.
	Okay.
	Ready?
	I'm gonna tweet it right now.
	Perfect.
	Okay.
	Now we're good.
	Did you send Dodie a karma shot?
	Yeah, just in case I didn't.
	Here we come.
	You've got karma.
	How do I get rid of these gnats?
	Shea Marshall.
	Shea as in Shea Guevara Marshall.
	What?
	I got the wrong one?
	You bought the wrong one?
	Oh, you sold the American manufacturing.
	You can cancel your order.
	You can cancel your order.
	Just go to the cancel order thing.
	No, you know what?
	I want to have this one.
	I like it better.
	It said American on it, so I'll take that.
	And everyone should get a slide whistle.
	It'll be the no new agenda thing.
	Alright, so we have a bunch of $60 donations to celebrate my birthday, my official 60th birthday.
	And I want to just read some of the names.
	The comments are minor.

	John Snyder.
	Oh, Sir John Snyder, Chicago.
	Yeah, he has a note.
	I feel bad it's been almost a year since I donated.
	I've been stuck working for less than minimum wage alongside a bunch of illegals.
	Luckily, the government has decided to give the money back it stole from me last year.
	I don't buy into the hippy-dippy karma, so can I get an in the morning?
	For my Hispanic brothers and sisters.
	For la mañana!
	Hell yeah.
	There you go.
	Martin Olson, Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.
	Edward Nappel, N-A-P-L, and Croydon, Victoria.
	Samantha Esposito in Stockton.
	She wants to wish a happy birthday, also creating the best podcast in the universe.
	She should send some karma to her husband, Joe, Sir Joe the Dish Slave, and her family.
	It would be greatly appreciated, of course.
	You've got karma.
	There's a lot of people.
	This is a long list.
	I'm really appreciative.
	Mark Cable, Robertson, East Sussex.
	James Ellsworth, Honolulu.

	L.C. Garling Jewelry in Sunnyside, New York.
	This slave also, 60 bucks, who mentions...
	Took our advice and registered a better domain for his podcast, ozonenightmare.com.
	Please put the donation toward his wife's damehood.
	Pretty good.
	And again, a get-well karma shot for his friend Orlando's mom, who got T-boned by a bunch of drunk teenagers last weekend.
	That stinks.
	Yeah, it totally does.
	You've got karma.
	Matthew Wittering, Edford.com.

	And then we go to...
	Whoops!
	Let me get this thing straight.
	There we go.
	That was it.
	That's all the people thanking me for...
	No, it's not.
	I have a few more.
	Oh, there's more.
	Dame Tanya.
	Big happy 60th to John.
	Andrew Gardner.
	Happy birthday, happy birthday.
	Ted in Vancouver.
	Here are 60 slave bucks for John's 60th birthday.
	Been listening for you a few months.
	Decided to donate thanks to Adam's IRS code 199 tax tip.
	What was that?
	I don't know, but he runs a local ISV sweatshop and can probably use whatever argument Microsoft is using to qualify.
	It's something to do with business.
	I will alert my CPA, Patsy, to this corporate loophole and hope everything pans out.
	If it does, I'll fire her.
	Oh, no, that was the 9% deduction that the oil companies...
	Oh, right, that crazy 9% deduction.
	Oh, interesting.
	You didn't take advantage of that?
	I guess.
	We should look at it.
	I'm requesting some get laid karma and a slide whistle from John that I can use as a notification sound on my mobile device.
	Let me just do that first in the karma.
	Ready?
	Oh, sorry.
	Yep.
	You've got karma.
	That totally sucked.
	Okay.
	Frank Van Son in Tilburg somewhere.
	Tilburg, Holland, yeah.
	Holland, okay.
	Two small favors.
	Karma shop for his daughter for a battle to heal from anorexia.
	Plug for his website.
	Three gone with number three gone travel dot com.
	Give it the good work.
	You've got karma.
	Eat.
	Take it from here and I'll have to look something up.
	My goodness.
	Bill Gress, Ypsilanti, Michigan.
	This is not a donation.
	This is a digital cash exchange for the informational equivalent of Reardon Metal.
	Yeah, there's nothing like a little...
	By Ayn Rand.
	Jeffrey Anderson, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
	In the morning, John Adam, I have now settled in Gitmo Nation.
	Steel City have embarked upon my second career.
	I've come up with a donation club.
	Since you both know all about the second careers, and many of our listeners do too, I propose a certain donation amount for those who are seeking to jump to a second career.
	Since we hear so many people donating in trying to change jobs or careers, I found it fitting to choose 50-50 for myself.
	Could I get a Huntsman karma for continued success in adjusting to a new career?
	Finally, I have a term for the artificial reality the media portrays that I would like you to have free of charge.
	I always called it pop reality.
	So I'm going to give you a huntsman karma.
	You've got karma.
	And let me mention, we also have Alan Levine for Congress Committee, who gave us $50.
	First of many donations, he hopes.
	He's running for Congress in Georgia.
	I think he's running in the primaries.
	I've chatted with him, actually.
	And he says that he'll be the inside guy in Congress if he gets in for no agenda.
	Yeah, cool.
	Can you just imagine on C-SPAN, the distinguished gentleman from Georgia has five minutes.
	Good morning!
	Anyway, you can go to his website, Alan Levine.
	This is a tough one.
	He should have shortened his name.
	It's A-L-L-A-N-L-E-V-E-N-E for congress.com.
	How do I get rid of these nets?
	We have a few $50 ones left and we'll be done.
	Sir Adam Kolb in Menashe, Wisconsin.
	Alan Haverson in Grabenhurst, Ontario.
	Andrew Haverson.
	What did I say, Alan?
	Andrew Haverson, sorry.
	Sir Christopher Lawton in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
	Phillip Meeson in Welshpool, Pows, UK. Robin Dearden, Black Knight Robin, Hoboken, New Jersey.
	And that concludes our very generous donation segment.
	Thanks to my birthday.
	Yeah, you know that we'll have nothing on Sunday.
	Oh yeah, no, Sundays.
	If anybody wants to get a really cheap executive producership, Sunday's your day.
	Dvorak.org slash N-A.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	I've got Nats!
	On no agenda!
	Let's see.
	Mary Nicole says happy birthday to her son, Matt.
	Linda Nguyen.
	Nguyen.
	Nguyen.
	It says happy birthday to her husband, Fox Fern, turns 30th on the 6th.
	That's tomorrow.
	Glenn Riccio congratulates himself celebrating tomorrow as well.
	Yap Heelhoots, brother, the real Eric, turns 34.
	Happy birthday.
	And everybody else...
	What does that mean?
	Is it buzz...
	Oh, just a buzz pill.
	Everybody else says happy birthday to John C. Devorak, 60.
	Happy birthday.
	Did you get a card, John?
	Did you get a card?
	Ha ha.
	Did you get a card?
	Actually, I got a card.
	The one card that was kind of cool was sent from Baron von Pelzmacher.
	These gnats are crazy.
	What's going on?
	I'll tell you what you're going to have to do before we finish this segment.
	What?
	You're going to have to go online and buy one of these UV... Zappers?
	Well, you can buy an electric zapper, but then they're always making noise.
	The best device I've ever found is a UV attractant, so it's a UV light, and there's a little fan behind the light bulb, and you keep a pool of soapy water.
	And the bugs come toward the light, and then the fan blows them into the water before they have a chance to adjust to the stream of air, and they all drown.
	And you end up with a bucket full of dead bugs.
	That is easily disposed.
	And they'll get all the gnats out of the room.
	It's also good for mosquitoes.
	Let me see.
	Okay.
	By the way, there's a few things at the post office box.
	I'll thank those people on Sunday because I think there's a few late $60 donations because we download the data at midnight.
	And it's a good thing we did today because I downloaded it at midnight and it took four hours.
	These things are expensive, man.
	$99.
	Yeah.
	Worth every penny.
	Really?
	Yes.
	That's very expensive.
	You'll have a situation where you have a mosquito in the house and you can't catch him.
	He's biting everybody.
	You put that thing out, he's done.
	Well, this is an expensive item.
	Yeah.
	But these gnats are in my studio.
	It's crazy.
	What am I going to do?
	I'm telling you, if you don't get that item, you're not going to get rid of those things.
	I mean, they'll die, but you have bugs in your equipment.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I'll order one.
	All right.
	Oh, man, let's move on.
	We got a...
	How's your sword?
	Here.
	Okay, good.
	You got it.
	Well, looks like people are really getting in on obtaining their night rings before the night rings go away.
	Nighthoods will remain, of course, after the end of this year, if we remain as a humanity.
	So please step forward.
	Brett Lamont, Matt Nicole...
	Kent O'Rourke and Glenn Riccio.
	You are all ninth of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Let me slam that sword around you, Sir Brett, Sir Matt, Sir Kent, and Sir Glenn.
	Come on over for your herkers and blow, your rim boys and chardonnay, your hot pants and booze, or your wenches and beer.
	And thank you so much for supporting the No Agenda Program.
	This was an outstanding episode for us.
	A lot of it, of course, thanks to John's birthday.
	So it's good.
	So if we can just keep this going, the older he gets, the better we'll do.
	It's highly, highly, highly appreciated.
	I know for the people on the live stream, we hope we made some of it entertaining.
	Ow!
	It's on my screen now.
	Yeah, you've got Nats.
	This is John Texas.
	Hello.
	I got Nats.
	You got Nats.
	All right.
	Finally, I'm back to that.
	I can talk about something here.
	This is a video that has been going around the circles that I often travel in.
	Crackpot.
	This is a video from the Pentagon.
	Have you seen this?
	Are you familiar with the FunVax?
	No.
	The FunVax.
	The FunVax.
	FunVax, F-U-N-V-A-X. Yeah, don't Google it just yet.
	Don't Google it yet.
	Promise me?
	No, I'm not going to Google it.
	Listen.
	This was a presentation at the Pentagon in 2005.
	I'm not sure if this video got declassified now or why it's circling now or what the deal is.
	A lot of people writing about it.
	This is a vaccine that will remove the fundamentalism portion of your brain so you don't become a jihadist or suicide bomber.
	And this is a part of the presentation.
	You'll hear the speaker.
	And there's maybe in the room maybe 10 or 15.
	You're Googling, aren't you?
	No, I am not Googling.
	I guarantee it.
	I'm writing down the possible title for this show, Fun Vax.
	Fun Vax.
	And he's presenting.
	He's got a PowerPoint up and he's got CAT scans and everything.
	And it's fun, not fund.
	No, fun.
	Funvax.
	F-U-N. Which, of course, they always love having these cute little names.
	So it's fun to vaccinate people.
	We're going to hear how they're going to do it, what they can use it for.
	And there's a guy in the audience asking some good questions.
	Have a listen.
	Excuse me.
	On the left over here, we have...
	Individuals who are religious fundamentalists, religious fanatics.
	And this is the expression, RT-PCR, real-time PCR expression of the VMAT2 gene.
	Over here, we have individuals...
	So let me complete.
	So over here, we have individuals who are not particularly fundamentalists, not particularly religious.
	And you can see there's a much reduced...
	Expression of this particular gene, the VMAT2 gene.
	Another evidence that supports our hypothesis for the development of this approach.
	So he's just shown two different brain scans, CAT scans, about this gene that apparently exists.
	And if you have this, which undoubtedly if they did a CAT scan of me, I've got it, I'm sure, even though I'm not a fundamentalist jihadist.
	So the hypothesis is we can develop a vaccine for this and we have.
	What you're suggesting here is by spreading this virus, we're going to eliminate individuals from donning on a bomb vest and going into a market and blowing up the market.
	So our hypothesis is that these are fanatical people.
	That they have overexpression of the VMAT2 gene and that by vaccinating them against this, we'll eliminate this behavior.
	Now listen to this.
	The guy asked, how are we going to do this?
	So the data that I'm presenting here supports the concept that we're proposing, and I think that we would not propose to do CT scans or fMRIs on individuals out in the hinterlands of Afghanistan.
	The virus would immunize against this VMAT2 gene and that would have the effect that you see here, which is essentially to turn a fanatic into a normal person.
	And we think that will have major effects in the Middle East.
	How would you suggest that this is going to be dispersed?
	I don't know if you could hear that.
	He says, how do you suggest this is dispersed?
	Aerosol?
	Well, so the present plan and the tests that we've done so far have used respiratory viruses.
	Such as flu or rhinoviruses.
	And we believe that that's a satisfactory way to get the exposure of the largest part of the population.
	Most of us, of course, have been exposed to both of those viruses.
	And we're quite confident that this will be a very successful approach.
	This is fascinating.
	What's the name of this proposal?
	Yes, so the name of this project is FunVax, which is the vaccine for religious fundamentalism.
	And you have a proposal already?
	The proposal has just been submitted, and I think that the data that I have shown you today would support the development of this project, and we think it has great promise.
	So without looking anything up and...
	Is it a hoax?
	Immediately, I didn't want to say this in April Fool's game.
	That's what I thought too, obviously.
	But, and one of the reasons I'd say that, besides the guy sounds like he's pulling one, is that this is not a vaccine, this is gene therapy.
	Right, but they want to distribute it via aerosol vaccination.
	Yeah, well, gene therapy done that way is not possible.
	So this whole thing is bullcrap.
	No, he said vaccine, like a flu vaccine.
	You can't inject it?
	You can't inject the gene therapy?
	Well, I thought he was going to do...
	No, the guy says how you distribute aerosol.
	He says, no, everyone has the flu, so we have the flu vaccines.
	Everyone's used to that.
	So that's the way I understood it, at least, is it would be distributed.
	No, I didn't understand it that way.
	But always go on and finish me off.
	Oh, that's it.
	That's the clip.
	And I tend...
	And what happens when I look it up on Google?
	I don't know.
	What do you see?
	I don't know.
	I'm going to see.
	It's going to be...
	Do I get Rick rolled?
	No.
	No.
	No, it's not.
	I don't think it's a joke.
	I'm waiting to get Rick rolled.
	No, I don't think it's a joke.
	I think it's the real deal.
	And again, removing the God gene.
	I've heard about the God gene before.
	That has been around.
	Leaked briefing, June 13, 2011.
	So the dates don't match an April Fool's gag.
	No.
	No, but this is from 2005.
	Yeah, supposedly.
	Yeah, well, you know.
	I didn't see it in 2005.
	I mean, you never know about these dates.
	Yeah, I don't see.
	What was the point of me not looking it up?
	Well, because I wanted to play the whole thing before you go, you know, I just wanted to have the whole thing out.
	There was no other reason than just don't look it up yet.
	You're trying to hide some fact.
	No, I'm not trying to hide any fact.
	I mean, the problem, of course, with Google is you get all these sites that are totally buying into it, and, you know, I want to...
	I don't know.
	I mean, it sounds very plausible to me.
	Let me do a different search.
	FunVac hoax.
	There you go.
	That's what you want to do.
	Try FunVax hoax.
	No, I can't find anything yet.
	No.
	So it may be true.
	It may be true.
	Yeah, maybe.
	These guys are nuts.
	If that's true, what are they doing?
	That's kind of what I thought.
	Most of the people blowing stuff up are stupid kids that are talked into it by some older, cynical old fart.
	Hey, you know, we're going to pay your family off.
	For one thing, a bunch of money goes to the family.
	And you're doing the family a favor.
	There's too many kids in the family anyway.
	We want you to blow yourself up.
	You'll go to heaven with a bunch of virgins, even though you're a virgin and don't know what to do.
	So, okay.
	Boom.
	Boom.
	Anyway, so I don't think this would change that one iota.
	No agenda.
	Pipeline fever.
	Pipeline fever.
	Israel and Greece this week with the U.S. 6th Fleet also participating.
	Joint naval drill, which includes simulation of attack on offshore natural gas platforms.
	Hello!
	And the significance of that is that several Israeli firms are now bidding for the purchase of the Greek state assets, which includes the natural gas company DEPA. So the Israelis are in now.
	They're figuring out that's probably a good idea to jump in.
	Yeah, they have a little more control of it.
	Yeah, I think that's pretty good.
	What else?
	Well, Mali, there was another little blurb there.
	Science is in.
	Al-Qaeda gained ground in troubled Mali.
	Hey, finally we got Al-Qaeda in.
	That's good.
	So now we can go and buy and send the drones.
	Send the drones over to Mali.
	Perfect.
	Perfect.
	Gaining ground.
	Yeah.
	Just make this stuff up as they go along.
	It becomes also incredibly obvious.
	India, and this kind of is a callback to the guy that India wants for the Mumbai attacks.
	Maybe we're trying to suck up to India.
	India is inviting South Sudan President Salva Ki Mayardit and his petroleum minister and offering to build a pipeline for evacuating its crude oil either to Kenya or Djibouti.
	Ah, Djibouti.
	Where we have a beautiful drone base.
	There's nothing like Djibouti.
	I need a t-shirt that says, I love your Djibouti or something like that.
	Or look at her Djibouti.
	I love Djibouti.
	That's it.
	I love Djibouti.
	And then have a drone.
	Whoever's going to design this, you have to say that in a bold thing and then have a drone flying.
	Yeah, of course.
	Otherwise, it's no good.
	And then we had the big friends of the Syrian people.
	There has been a rebranding, although the media has not caught on to it.
	They still talk about the friends of Syria.
	But if you looked at Lucifer out there with...
	With her speech in, where was she?
	Was it in Istanbul?
	Yeah, I think it was in Istanbul, wasn't it?
	I don't know.
	Every day she's speaking somewhere.
	Well, here's what was kind of interesting.
	So, she comes out, and yes, she was in Turkey, and although there's not a lot of good video on this, she says, there's no clear path.
	We know that a nuclear-armed Iran will be incredibly destabilizing, because this obviously fits right into Syria, because Iran has now asked for a meeting.
	And the high priestess, Kathy Ashton, Baroness Kathy, she's setting up the meeting.
	And the Iranians, they're pretty funny.
	They have suggested Damascus as a place for the meeting.
	That's Syria, for those of you who don't know.
	I thought that was pretty funny.
	So we can do Iraq, we can do Baghdad, or we can do Damascus.
	Your choice.
	So they're trying to figure out where to do the meeting, but that is not the Hillary Clippity Klopp's job to do that.
	It is Kathy Ashton, who is, of course, great friends, the two of them.
	So we're going to have to see how that winds up.
	And then meanwhile, what has now been decided is the following for Syria.
	Oh!
	By the way, they've got journalists.
	Why is it always unverified?
	I mean, is it just to cover your ass saying that it's fake?
	I'm really tired of it.
	Verify your footage.
	Be a real news organization.
	Everybody needs to stop.
	We can't find this footage.
	Especially in this day and age when every guy with a camcorder could be taking pictures anywhere.
	We've got satellites.
	And sending it in with a hokey cock and bull story about where it came from and then them buying it.
	Yeah, and we...
	Why don't they put some boots on the ground?
	Well, it's funny you ask.
	Syrian troops are trying to weaken rebel forces ahead of a ceasefire deadline next week.
	An advanced team from the UN Peacekeeping Department.
	Ah, an advanced team from the UN Peacekeeping Department.
	Oh, nothing worse than peacekeepers.
	Peace!
	Those are the guys with blue helmets and big guns.
	...is expected in Damascus within 48 hours to discuss deployment of observers to monitor the much-promised truce.
	As part of Kofi Annan's plan, 200 peacekeepers are hoping to go to Syria, although that will require a Security Council resolution.
	And on past efforts, that won't be easy.
	Let's bring in Rice.
	Security Council has been shamefully and woefully divided on the issue of Syria and unable to adopt resolutions that even would entail relatively modest action.
	Meanwhile, the chief of the International Red Cross has been in the Syrian capital to secure agreement on implementing a daily two-hour pause in attacks to provide humanitarian assistance.
	But on all counts, Western diplomats remain skeptical as Syria has repeatedly promised to end its year-long assault on civilians opposed to President Bashar al-Assad.
	So we thought it was a done deal, but apparently it was not all done yet, so we have until the 10th of April.
	They're just kicking the can down the road.
	But you know when the peacekeepers come in, the UN peacekeepers, that usually means that the World Army is coming in.
	And that brings me to the following.
	I had never heard of this outfit, but Lucifer Clippity Clop, Went over and she did a speech at the ACT. Are you familiar with the ACT, John?
	Any idea what this is, the ACT? I've heard of the ACT because I think I've seen one or more of their events on C-SPAN. Yes, this is the Allied Command Transformation And you can find their website at, why don't you take a look at, ah, these gnats are like freaking me out.
	You can find their website at act.nato.int.
	It's clippity-clop.
	The message is clear.
	Just clippity-clop.
	Fighting continues in home.
	Oops, wrong one.
	Sorry.
	ACT.NATO.INT? Yeah.
	And let me play you a little snippet from her speech there.
	Hold on.
	And it's especially timely that we would meet since tomorrow marks the 63rd anniversary of the signing of the Washington Treaty when 12 countries pledged to safeguard each other's freedom and committed to the principles of democracy, liberty, and the rule of law.
	From those earliest days, Norfolk served as a crucial naval base and training facility for the Alliance and our partners.
	And today it is home to ACT, where staff from every nation in NATO are taking on one of the most important challenges we face together.
	How to continue transforming our alliance so that it can champion those principles just as effectively in the 21st century as we did in the 20th century.
	And there can be no better place and no better time as you celebrate another Norfolk NATO Festival to discuss the greatest alliance in history and the future we are shaping together.
	So this thing to me, as I looked it up and I took the liberty of doing some research, looks like the organization that is meant to bring together the New World Order army.
	The Allied Command Transformation is a NATO military command formed in 2003 after North Atlantic Treaty Organization restructuring.
	It is intended to lead military transformation of alliance forces and capabilities using new concepts such as the NATO Response Force.
	Let's look at the NATO Response Force, known as the NRF, as a coherent, high-readiness, joint, multinational force package.
	That is technologically advanced, flexible, deployable, interoperable, and sustainable.
	It's green.
	Its role is to act as a standalone military force available for rapid deployment by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as a collective defense, crisis management, or stabilization force, or to act as an initial entry force for a subsequent primary deployment.
	The NRF comprises land, air, and sea components provided by NATO members, contributed forces first trained together, then become available for a six-month period before being replaced by a new force.
	This is the army, the global world army, and Lucifer is right there.
	She was on stage.
	Literally, she's almost like the master of ceremonies at this thing.
	And I'd never heard of this thing before.
	But this is, I mean, this is not protecting if one of us gets attacked.
	This is a military force that will be used as our army.
	Your thoughts, Professor Deborah?
	Well, I'm reading the, there's another little document that I've been reading here, which is the TIDE document.
	And TIDE, and they have, if you look on the homepage of the Act, they have a TIDE sprint coming up, a little race that people can take part in if they want.
	But TIDE stands for Transforming Technology Towards Information Decision and Execution Superiority.
	And I think a lot of this can be, and this NATO OTAN, O-T-A-N. There's a lot of code in here, but as we enter the 21st century, the threats to NATO are not what they once were.
	No!
	Like none.
	The alliance is transforming.
	You set up a bureaucracy, it does what it has to do to stay alive.
	And the alliance is transforming to respond to deal with the new environment.
	NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson said, NATO must change radically if it is to be effective and modernize or be marginalized.
	So they started up this whole thing in 2003 and they've been building toward this, no thanks to Rumsfeld, Building toward creating this.
	Yeah, this is a world army.
	And it's being created right there.
	It's a good PDF file in the thing.
	What's weird to me, this has got nothing to do with the topic, but I have yet to see, normally when you do subdomains in a URL, you can't use www.
	Yeah, I think it's required on this site for some reason.
	I wonder why.
	It's very strange.
	But of course you can.
	You can do that.
	It's not a problem to do that.
	You have to set it up specifically.
	It's just a C name.
	It's a wild card.
	I know all about it.
	I don't like them.
	I rock against WWW. You can't get to a lot of my sites anymore with WWW. Screw you.
	I'm not doing that anymore.
	So, yeah.
	We have to follow this now.
	You see this?
	Schriever War Games 2012 SW12 Defending Freedom.
	Do you see this thing?
	No, I'm going to go look at it.
	That's if you go to the Tide thing that you talked about?
	Yeah.
	There's an eagle with an arrow flying around.
	Shriever War Game 2012.
	What is this, a new game?
	I don't know.
	Shriever War...
	What is OTAN, by the way?
	I don't know.
	The organization...
	No, that can't be it.
	Shriever War Game 2012.
	Interesting.
	Let's just practice.
	They got a cool logo, though.
	You know, I'm reminded of a cliche.
	Lion or Schriever's New Republic.
	We'll have to look into this.
	I'm reminded of it.
	I just want to play a little clip just as an aside here to lighten things up.
	Well, all this is going on, and I think one of the reasons...
	Oh, hold on, hold on.
	Before you do that, listen to this.
	Schriever war game set to begin.
	The Space Innovation and Development Center will conduct the sixth Schriever war game.
	It's probably Schriever.
	Well, it's S-R-I-E, S-C-H-R-I-E. Oh, Schrie.
	I think it's Schriever.
	We'll explore critical space issues and investigate the integration activities of multiple agencies associated with space systems and services.
	Space commands.
	Space-focused war games.
	It's for the moon bases.
	I've always told you this.
	I've always told you there is warfare in space as we speak.
	Well, it was thematic about a year and a half ago.
	It's like you do with pipelines now.
	You kept bringing everything to some battle in space.
	You know, a satellite comes crumbling down.
	It was because somebody shot it down.
	Yeah.
	Well, here's proof.
	Well, there's Space Missile Command Center in Los Angeles AFB. What's the Los Angeles Air Force Base?
	They just yesterday shot up another Delta IV rocket.
	You're talking about Vandenberg?
	Yeah.
	Why is it called the Los Angeles Air Force Base in this document?
	I don't know.
	That's weird.
	Yeah.
	Designs and acquires all Air Force and most departments, overseas launches, completes, da-da-da.
	Space AFSPC, Major Command Providing Space Forces.
	Hey, look, I'll be happy if I can get rid of the Nats.
	I can't be worried about the space wars anymore.
	Cheyenne Mountain?
	No, Cheyenne Mountain, which is the, you know, where they keep the...
	Colorado.
	That's Colorado.
	Yeah, that's where they put everyone.
	So the AFSPC, and AFSPC stands for...
	Air Force Space Command.
	Air Force Space Command.
	I'm telling it.
	I'm telling it.
	Air Force Base.
	Rocket ship, guys.
	Yeah.
	Shriver Air Force Base.
	So Shriver's an Air Force Base.
	Peterson Air Force Base and Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado.
	So most of this is in Colorado.
	Air Force Station Los Angeles Air Force Base and Vandenberg Air Force Base.
	So there's a separate.
	So Los Angeles Air Force Base is not Vandenberg.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	So it's something else.
	I never heard of a Los Angeles Air Force Base.
	Cape Canaveral, Patrick Air Force Base, Minot, and Cavalm.
	Minot is where they have some strange supposed...
	The Schriever War Game series is an important tool that helps us understand a very complex operational environment.
	Yeah, space.
	These games give the Air Force and all space mission partners a better idea of how to protect space assets from potential adversaries and how to better integrate space systems throughout our national security community.
	Awesome.
	So they're also working out of clear Air Force Base in Alaska, which I think is where HAARP is in that area.
	Listen to you.
	Very good.
	Listen to you.
	And Thule Air Force Base in Greenland.
	What are they doing in Greenland?
	We've got him, ladies and gentlemen.
	HAARP rolls off the tip of his tongue.
	Yeah, because HAARP is used, as everyone knows, HAARP is used for long-distance communications.
	To create earthquakes.
	Communication technology.
	To create earthquakes.
	That's how much you got me.
	Earthquakes.
	So, earthquakes.
	And, yeah, oh, this is interesting.
	AFSPC operates and supports the global positioning system.
	That's what they're out to do.
	They have to protect it.
	And defense satellite communication systems, phase two and three.
	It's all for spying on the public.
	And for shooting space.
	I gotta get me a space gun.
	You know, Vladimir Putin, did you see that Vladimir Putin?
	Remember that crazy guy that I played the clip?
	Turns out he isn't so crazy, that Russian guy was talking about earthquake machines.
	Now the media, at least, or the so-called media, is taking it very seriously.
	Putin, here it is.
	This is Serdyukov.
	That's the, in a meeting.
	With Putin, now this is according to Russian publication, but firmly propagated by The Guardian, I might add, and the Daily Mail.
	The development of weaponry based on new physics principles, direct energy weapons, geophysical weapons, wave energy weapons, genetic weapons, psychotronic weapons, are all part of the new state arms procurement program for 2011-2020.
	And Putin specifically is very excited about the zombie gun, which attacks victims' central nervous system.
	They got a picture of Putin.
	Yeah, the zombie gun.
	The zombie gun was a big story.
	Another distraction this last week.
	A good one, though.
	Alright, you had a clip you wanted to set up.
	Now I'm on this one webpage I've got to send it to you.
	It's called thelivingmoon.com.
	And it's got all these patches at these different little, you know, whatever group you're in in the military, you get a patch, right?
	But there's this one patch, which is the Air Force 10-cap special applications.
	This Pegasus Research?
	And it's got a picture of an alien on it.
	I'm not buying that this thing actually exists as a patch.
	Is it the website has sound?
	Does it?
	Not on my machine.
	Thelivingmoon.com?
	Oh, well, you got to go.
	Cool.
	Cool.
	The cutting-edge special projects division.
	This is a sub-page.
	I'll send it to you.
	It's the outer space connection.
	It's impossible that we don't have listeners and producers who work at these outfits.
	That's because most of this is bogus.
	But if you do work there, send us a patch.
	Oh, I'd love to have that patch with the alien on it.
	Hell yeah.
	Alright, now.
	Come on.
	All right, we got a couple of things I can go.
	These are evergreen, so we don't have to do them.
	There was one that I thought was pretty funny.
	There was one on the military channel.
	They were talking about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs and why we had to do it because the emperor said that the Japanese will fight for the motherland to the last dead Japanese.
	And they were crashing planes into it.
	They had a suicide.
	We had to do something drastic, and so we had to drop these two bombs to send them a message, essentially.
	What'd you call that?
	But this isn't being apparently taught anymore, and so everybody...
	So you have one of the last guys who was the crew member of the Enola Gay bitching about the fact that nobody knows his true story anymore.
	It's all been perverted by the education system.
	Huh.
	And he makes this joke at the...
	I mean, not a joke, it's a fact, but he does this little commentary.
	It was an eye roller.
	Well...
	Have no concept of why we dropped the bombs at the time we did.
	They just assume that we dropped the bombs in order to cause those large casualties.
	They do not take time to read it and understand it.
	And no matter what you tell them, I don't think most people will never understand it.
	You go to high schools today, and the high schools today don't understand anything about World War II. I think I did describe how I was introduced at once high school as a veteran of World War XI. World War XI? Yeah, because it's World War II. That's how bad it is?
	Yeah.
	Roman numeral II to some idiot.
	World War XI. Oh, wow.
	Yeah, that's good.
	That's our schooling system.
	World War XI. Oh, poor guy.
	Oh, man.
	I just couldn't resist.
	That was just too much.
	So I'm a little worried because I think C-SPAN is being severely, severely corrupted.
	They're losing their main guy.
	I mean, he's quitting.
	He's the founder, but he's just sick of it.
	Oh, yeah.
	So they had this thing.
	C-SPAN documentary challenge for kids.
	And I like this.
	I'm like, oh, okay, kids are going to go.
	And the actual mission was create a short film documentary about one of the articles of the Constitution and make a documentary about it.
	And so this is kind of cool.
	I'm like, all right, I want to see these kids.
	And it's all based out of their schools, obviously.
	So I've cut down this 10-minute documentary and just taken out some pertinent bits.
	First off, here's how it starts.
	A couple of kids, a couple of girls.
	They're in, I'm going to guess, fifth grade.
	And this is the start of their documentary.
	about the freedom of speech in the United States Constitution.
	For students in the camp competition, asked students across the country what part of the Constitution was important to them and why.
	Today's third prize winner selected the First Amendment.
	Man, this test on the Bill of Rights tomorrow is going to be hard.
	I could say that again.
	Our teacher sure did not do a good job of explaining this.
	I don't understand the First Amendment, especially the concept of freedom of speech.
	And does it give us the right to say anything we want?
	Yeah, and does it allow the government under certain conditions to limit our freedom of speech?
	Good questions.
	Let's do some research.
	Okay.
	Were you able to understand that?
	Yeah.
	So, our teacher didn't do a good job of explaining the freedom of speech in our First Amendment.
	Let's do some research.
	Here's the research they did.
	Seven minutes worth of this.
	Do you think the FDA has a right to acquire these images on cigarette packages?
	Well, I think that goes back to the First Amendment argument, and I am going to suggest that they do, but I may be wrong.
	You're getting sick of it, but I believe in whatever you do.
	By mandating these warning labels, is the government abusing the constitutional right of freedom of speech?
	Individuals still enjoy freedom of speech or freedom from speech.
	However, commercial speech does not have as much protection as individual free speech.
	According to a Supreme Court ruling, all the government needs to do is pass two criteria to be able to control commercial speech.
	First, it must show substantial interest.
	Substantial interest, in this situation, was alerting the public of health risks in smoking.
	This would save the government billions in health care costs.
	That, I would say, constitutes substantial interest.
	Second, does the law further that interest?
	Showing gruesome pictures of dead and dying people will definitely further that interest.
	Therefore, according to the Supreme Court, the government appears to have the right to mandate these labels.
	So there's eight minutes.
	The whole thing is about warning labels on cigarette packages if that should be protected under the First Amendment and if cigarette companies have the right to not be mandated to put that on there.
	It's an eight minute anti-smoking documentary.
	It has nothing to do with the First Amendment except one minor, minor piece.
	And then they wind it up by showing, oh, you could get labels like, don't drink, you look like, what's that crazy actor dude's name?
	Crazy actor dude.
	Yeah, with that mugshot.
	They always show his mugshot.
	Oh, yeah.
	Gary Busey.
	Nick Norty.
	It's the same guy.
	It doesn't matter.
	Thinking about hitting the slopes?
	Well, you won't be thinking much more about anything if you do.
	Before you decide to throw back a cold one with your friends, keep in mind that there's a good chance you get an up like this guy.
	Oh, and by the way, we all received an A on our test.
	Stupid morons.
	That was really bad.
	That's why I fear for C-SPAN. There's no First Amendment information in there whatsoever.
	The whole thing is that.
	That's what the First Amendment is about.
	It's about the right for the government to put labels on things that are bad for you.
	That's what C-SPAN is now pushing.
	And these kids are clearly, clearly indoctrinated and lobotomized.
	Oh yeah, no, this is terrible.
	It's like World War XI. Yeah.
	Some kid.
	Yeah, but it's like, oh, it'll be good because here's some other labels you can get.
	Like, oh, before you knock back a cold one with your buddies, you could wind up looking like this guy.
	This is really...
	And this is use of our money.
	It's also part of the neo-prohibitionist thing.
	Of course, of course.
	But we got an A. Oh, by the way, we got an A. Eight minutes of this crap.
	That is not about the First Amendment.
	How did they get an A post-facto?
	I mean, how is it on the video?
	No, that was stuck in at the end, right after it.
	Well, no, I'm not sure how they did it, but it doesn't matter.
	That was the third place.
	I can't wait until they do the runner-up and the winner.
	I'm sure that's going to be awesome.
	Oh, I'll bet.
	Unless somebody does a good thing on the Tenth Amendment, I doubt it.
	You want to hear a guy who actually knows what the hell he's talking about?
	This is Ron Paul on some local douchebag Fox station.
	I think perhaps a lot of people would wonder how at this point in the game you have perhaps been labeled as sort of maybe even ostracized as the guy with the wild ideas and that sort of stuff.
	And the more we hear from other candidates, I think a lot of people would wonder, why are you getting that reputation when we're talking about colonies on the moon and other things?
	Yeah, wild ideas like the Constitution.
	Wild ideas like when you need money, you're not supposed to print it.
	Wild ideas like don't go to war unless you declare the war and balance the budget.
	You know, those are really wild ideas.
	But they're not conventional.
	It is true.
	The conventional wisdom of both...
	The leadership of both parties is that the status quo is you defend deficits, you keep spending, you print the money, you don't challenge the Federal Reserve.
	You have the same foreign policy of occupation and nation building and policing the world.
	But it's coming to an end financially.
	It's not going to last.
	And that's why we're in the midst of a financial crisis, which is a reflection of a worldwide debt crisis, which has been generated by a dollar reserve currency.
	And it has to be addressed.
	It'll be forced to economic law demands that we address that subject.
	That's the guy who deserves an A on his paper.
	Yeah, well, that's not going to happen.
	No.
	So we're talking a little bit about politics.
	There was a funny clip that had been dug up, and I guess I didn't see it when it first came out.
	Maybe I missed it.
	Maybe I already ran it, but I'm too old to remember.
	But McCain, when he first endorsed Romney, came out and gave a speech in front of a bunch of Romneyites.
	And then right about halfway through it, a bunch of the associates of Romney come rushing on the stage to shake him, to make sure he gets this right.
	Listen to this.
	I am confident with the leadership and the backing of the American people, President Obama will turn this country around.
	We believe in America.
	We believe that our best days are ahead of us.
	What?
	Excuse me, President Romney.
	I had not heard that one.
	Yeah, I didn't either.
	I think we have a rare double.
	Clip of the day.
	A rare double.
	Yeah, it's happened before.
	That is awesome.
	People were like, they must have been like, turn his juice back on, man.
	Plug him back in.
	Recharge him.
	He needs help.
	He needs help.
	Help, help, help.
	Yeah.
	Financial Times, which I subscribe to on my Kindle.
	Actually, Mr.
	Oil sent me the PDF of it, but I went back.
	When you have something on the Kindle, of course, you can't get it off.
	I just want to send it somewhere so I can look at this article again.
	You can't do that.
	It's all hosed.
	Financial Times.
	In a study with important implications for the insurance industry, scientists from Britain's Metropolitan Met Office, Meteorological Met Office, say they have established a link between pollution wafting across the ocean and efforts to remove it and events such as drought in the Sahel region of North Africa and hurricane activity in the United States.
	So the new meme is all this horrible weather, the hurricanes, and I'm sure tornadoes, that's all because of pollution.
	Which scientists have linked to global warming?
	Yeah!
	Financial Times.
	I'm canceling my subscription.
	You can't get away from it.
	I thought you canceled already when you found him compromised in some other story.
	No!
	The science is in!
	Science!
	Science!
	No, I'm canceling now for sure.
	Well, it's the only newspaper I want to subscribe to.
	I don't anymore.
	I just can't.
	And the only reason why is because Uncle Don will read it.
	I'm like, well, if the CIA reads it, then I should probably read it.
	Yeah, you have to see it because there could be code in there.
	I mean, not that he's in the CIA anymore.
	I'm just saying.
	So you said it again?
	I'm just saying.
	That was the first time I said it in this episode, and I will point out that on the last episode of This Week in Tech, you said it three times.
	I'm trying to get away from it, but you told me to call you out.
	I never told you to call me out.
	All right.
	No, that's right.
	I'm trying to stop saying it, too.
	I said it twice in this show, and you didn't notice either one.
	Yes, I've recorded your gaffes.
	Here we go.
	I had always been running the mailings that we do.
	We run the mailings through MailChimp.
	And MailChimp, MailChimp, it actually goes to MailChimp.
	It comes from MailChimp.
	Duh!
	Mail delivery service.
	MailChimp, MailChimp, MailChimp.
	MailChimp was burdened or something.
	So I killed that.
	That got me spammed.
	Yes.
	And here's what my explanation is.
	By reverse engineering the process.
	Mail chimp.
	Mail chimp.
	All right, all right.
	I say mail chimp a lot.
	So I've got a couple of clips from this David Wohlman who wrote the book.
	He's a wired writer who wrote the book The End of Cash.
	Oh.
	And it's a bunch of anti-money memes that are just really weird.
	And his basic thesis, he went a year without using cash as some sort of an experiment to see if he could do it.
	Oh, it sounds like a good book for the book club.
	It's not a good book.
	It's one of these, you know, get rid of...
	He wants everyone to be electronically plugged in.
	There should be no cash.
	No, I know.
	That's why you got to read it.
	Yeah, it's a good book to read.
	Of course it is.
	But he...
	Unfortunately, his clips are so long, I want to push them off till Sunday.
	Oh, let's play one.
	Come on, I like it.
	Well, play the first one then.
	Well, what's the first one?
	Long clip full of rich memes.
	Just for an hour, but three days.
	So, I live on the West Coast.
	Hold on, hold on.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	A warning.
	I gotta warn everybody, and JC notices too.
	This guy, who's got rosy cheeks, sounds like he's breathing helium, and this is his voice.
	Just for an hour, but three days.
	So I live on the West Coast.
	People have earthquake preparedness kits, and the Red Cross will tell you, have some cash on hand and have some low-value bills in your stash.
	And I love this idea of a cashless future.
	I'm interested in it.
	I spent a whole year not touching cash, but I'm not going to not follow that recommendation of what to have in my emergency preparedness kit.
	Not quite yet.
	But what you're seeing is really that cash is undergoing this kind of death by a thousand cuts, right?
	And we don't know if it's cut number 890 or 952 just yet, but it's happening.
	And it won't be any kind of proactive decision on the part of government or anyone, really.
	It will be pushed to the margins by new technologies.
	So area one is new technologies, and the mobile phone especially.
	So in part of the book, I traveled to India to look at this idea that was something I never had any understanding of before I launched into this project.
	And this is the idea that cash is actually the enemy of the poor and is most punitive for those people who don't have much of it.
	And, you know, it sounded so counterintuitive at first that I needed to follow around an economist from the Gates Foundation to get him to explain it to me clearly.
	But in short, the issue is for those of us lucky enough to live in a wealthier country and earn a paycheck, we can toggle between money in electronic form and money in its physical form as we see fit.
	I don't like cash that much.
	I don't use it very much.
	If you really like using cash and want to wander to an ATM tonight and use cash to pay for dinner, terrific.
	When you're poor and you're trapped only using cash, you're excluded from the formal economy in ways that are crippling.
	And they're especially crippling because you can't brace for financial shock.
	You can't save in the way that people need to save if they have any hope of not just climbing out of poverty, but staying out of poverty.
	And what's happening now is a lot of development experts are encouraging this idea to get people transacting with their phones so that they don't need the cash.
	Douchebag.
	This goes on and on.
	Hold on.
	What's this guy's – what's the name of his book?
	It's The End of Cash or The Death of Cash.
	I'm going to read this.
	W-O-L-M-A-N.
	I'm going to read this.
	He is a big proponent of using your phone as a wallet.
	Yeah, sure.
	The End of Money is what it's called.
	The End of Money.
	I thought it was The End of Cash.
	The End of Money.
	I'm going to buy it right now on my Kindle, which will be The End of Books, by the way.
	And so this guy is proposing this idea based on the Gates Foundation that cash should be over with, or money, and everything should be electronic, and this is somehow going to help the poor.
	Cash is the enemy of the poor.
	What the hell was that?
	Yeah, he says cash is the enemy of the poor, and if they would just use their expensive smartphones instead of cash, they'd be better off.
	I mean, this whole thing is reeks of elitism and fascism, and there's a second clip, if you want to play it, which he brings out even more of this bull crap.
	This is, uh, which one?
	More Woolman.
	All right.
	This guy is very interesting.
	I just bought the book on my Kindle.
	In a tea canister stuffed under a bed.
	Not only is all of your wealth, however much or however little, you know, that could be lost overnight in a flood or a fire, earthquake.
	The other problem is that everyone around you is making claims on that money that you are trying to save, right?
	So for us, we cling to cash a little bit more because of these tricks it plays on our mind.
	For the poor, it's actually the opposite.
	Cash is turbo liquid.
	They can't hold on to it.
	You can't hold on to it because...
	A drunk uncle is making claims on that cash, or an abusive spouse is making claims on that cash.
	And usually, parenthetically, in developing parts of the world, it's the women who are looking after the household funds.
	So those are the most terrible examples of people making claims on your money.
	But then you even have legitimate ones.
	So you have a neighbor who needs some aspirin for an auntie, or you have somebody who needs a new pair of shoes for their kid.
	It's hard to say no, especially in a very tight-knit urban slum, for example.
	And yet, you're trying to save to send a daughter to school in 10 months or to buy some farm equipment in 15 months.
	And you can't save cash easily.
	So everyone is trying to get these people involved in banking.
	Not in the sort of abusive Wall Street, CDO's sense of banking.
	Just the old-fashioned stuff.
	A safe and secure place to store your wealth.
	So the Gates Foundation folks...
	You know, they put $500 million last year into these programs to support innovation in this area.
	And I flew to India to interview a guy to see what this was like.
	How had this changed his life?
	And he said to me, you know, he used to have to ride the bus two days there, two days back, to go deliver a very small amount of money to his grandmother in the countryside.
	So that's four days of income generation loss.
	He has to pay someone to look after his shop.
	The wealth that maybe is still hidden somewhere in his shop is now in jeopardy.
	So now he basically just sends a text message to his granny in the countryside, and she wanders to a kiosk where the merchant is essentially part of this huge network of merchants involved in the system, and she shows the text, and there's some quick back and forth, and she can cash out.
	And, you know, I asked him about all the security concerns that I think a lot of you will maybe wonder about, and he just looked at me like I was from Mars.
	Like, are you kidding?
	Did you even listen to what I just said and the value proposition of this whole deal?
	So that was pretty illuminating, and suddenly it pulled me into a much more substantive area of discussion.
	You know, I like talking about the germs on banknotes, and I like talking about, you know, wishing my barista was grabbing some hand sanitizer and the rest of it.
	Now, so, when the global financial system melts down and you can't get, you know, or the cyber attacks take place, and this guy's on the street with no cash, I will poop on him.
	Hey!
	You notice that he's an elite.
	I mean, if you listen, first he's a neat freak because he has to have everyone's hands washed all the time, and I can see why he doesn't like money because it's dirty.
	But he said, auntie.
	Oh yeah.
	Who says that?
	Douchebags.
	Introduction in this book.
	On Christmas Eve, this is the first page.
	The irony, by the way, I bought his book without cash.
	On Christmas Eve 2009, Umar Farouk Amutala began the journey he thought would take him from this world into the next and into a waiting embrace of six dozen virgins.
	Because he paid $2,381 in cash and purchased a one-way ticket from Lagos, Nigeria to Detroit, he said if he had not been able to do that with cash, then he never would have been able to light his crotch on fire.
	What?
	That's the start of the book.
	What a specious argument.
	That's the start of the book.
	Oh...
	Do you know that...
	Another douchebag.
	He needs a double douchebag.
	Yeah, I'll just do the double douchebag.
	And one more for you.
	Douchebag.
	You know, I had this in the show notes a few weeks back.
	I'll get the article.
	I think I can get it from search.nashownotes.com.
	The guy from ABBA. I think it's Bjorn or Benny.
	Let me think who it was.
	Here we go.
	It's Bjorn Olveus.
	Founding member of ABBA. This is how cool the show notes work.
	That's actually quite awesome.
	Here it is.
	Sweden was the first European country to introduce banknotes in 1661.
	Now it's come farther than most on the path towards getting rid of them.
	Quote, I can't see why we should be printing banknotes at all anymore, says Bjorn Ilvaeus, former band member of 1970s pop group ABBA and a vocal proponent for a world without cash.
	The contours of such a society are starting to take shape in this high tech nation, frustrating those who prefer coins and bills over digital money.
	Sweden only uses 3% cash.
	They're almost done.
	They're almost done.
	3% is still too much if you ask Bjorn.
	A cashless society may seem like an odd cause for someone who made a fortune on money, money, money and other ABBA hits, but for Ilvaeus, it's a matter of security.
	After his son was robbed for the third time, he started advocating a faster transition to a fully digital economy, if only to make life harder for thieves.
	Oh, excuse me.
	You know, douchebag.
	And I hated winner takes it all.
	I like Dancing Queen, though.
	That was a good one.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Sweden is almost done with cash.
	Yeah, that's what their goal is.
	Yeah, then the state has completely control over the citizens.
	You have no freedoms whatsoever.
	If there's no pocketable, if there's no actual something of value that you can use to make a transaction, it has to all be done electronically and it goes through the entire system.
	I'm not paranoid about this, but it's a simple fact.
	That's the way a government can control the population.
	You control the purse strings.
	Which is why gold and silver coins is a good idea.
	Any species is good.
	Any what?
	Species.
	Anything.
	Whether it's gold, silver, or I'll take a $100 bill any day over an electronic system that can screw me by either accident or the bankers or the government or anybody else in between or some mistake.
	I mean, how many times does the Bank of America make mistakes on just the simple accounts that people have?
	Oh.
	A simple account and they screw it up month after month.
	Which brings me to the final topic for this program as far as I'm concerned.
	We went a little long, but of course we had a long donation segment, so we want to make sure you get your value for value as always.
	Hot Pockets 2009.
	Hot Pockets!
	Which is a great way for you to get us cash donations.
	So Miss Mickey and I have decided the following.
	We would definitely like to do this.
	We don't think that we want to do an RV, as we did last year.
	In fact, I'm going to throw the Beast...
	I think she called it Stella for some reason, my Dodge Ram 2002 pickup truck.
	I got new tires on it, which that was a setback.
	Tires are expensive, dude.
	Especially for those big pickups.
	Well, I got the 20s for $199 each, which is a pretty good deal, I think.
	That's not bad.
	Yeah, it was the cheapest I could get that actually fit the truck.
	So it has 176,000 miles on it, but we believe it can certainly do another five easily without breaking down.
	I'm afraid of taking Mickey's 99 Range Rover because if that breaks down on the road, you're screwed.
	Yeah, you're screwed.
	You can't get anything.
	Nobody can fix it.
	No one wants to fix it.
	I can barely get a guy here in Austin to look at it.
	So we would be looking at a trailer.
	Not too big.
	Trailer.
	Yeah, it's fun.
	Yeah, no, just a caravan.
	What do you call it?
	What do you call it?
	Trailer?
	Trailer.
	So if anyone has one in the Texas area that we can just latch on, and we only really need a pooper, a little sink, and a bed, I've already figured out that I can do the show from the truck, from the back seat, and I fold the front seats down and everything.
	It'd also be a lot easier.
	Somebody's got to get a picture of that.
	Oh, yeah.
	And it's also handy because then we can pull up to wherever we're going to park and then we can just detach the truck and then we got wheels because that was a big problem.
	Yeah, you can't keep driving the thing around town.
	You go to a restaurant.
	Yeah, you get into a little park and you leave the trailer and off you go.
	And we're going to do it a little differently, so we're going to do everything west of Austin, because that's the furthest we got on our last trip.
	Everything west of Austin.
	And we'll go all the way up north, whatever you want.
	But the way it's going to happen this year...
	Is by meetups.
	So instead of us just driving around, which we did last time without any plan, you need to organize a meetup.
	And we should put a number on it, like 50 people.
	Hundreds too much, I think.
	If you get 50 people, because I want to make sure we hit smaller spots, then we will put you on the route, and we'll drive by, and we'll do a meetup.
	So basically, the entire trip will consist of meetups and show locations.
	Does that sound good to you, John?
	Yeah.
	However, we can't do it until we have a trailer.
	Well, it might be easier to get a trailer than it would be, because a lot of people have trailers.
	Yeah, but it has to be something...
	Especially if you don't have a big one.
	You're not talking about a big trailer.
	You're talking about a clunker.
	Hey, I wouldn't put my princess in a clunker.
	No, we're not talking about a clunker here, John.
	I'd love an Airstream.
	Yeah.
	That would be cool.
	That'd be cool.
	So that is the idea.
	You can reach me, Adam, at Curry.com.
	And Miss Mickey would be Mickey at Curry.com.
	M-I-C-K-Y is how you can get a hold of her for meetup information.
	But we can't go anywhere without a trailer.
	So that's what we'll be looking for.
	Very exciting, eh?
	Yeah, and while you're playing the outro music, I might as well give you one more clip.
	Oh.
	Which is...
	End of show clip?
	It's the final clip.
	It's the one.
	Let me just set it up.
	It's Ted Kennedy, and it's called The Kennedy Way.
	There was a lot of discussion about how lame all these Republicans are about supporting Romney, and they're all milk toast.
	Here's the way, and they're just, okay, we'll have to do it.
	Kennedy shows you how politicians really ought to operate.
	He hated Obama, and this is the way he supported him.
	I'm proud to stand with him here today and offer my help, offer my voice, offer my energy, my commitment to make Barack Obama the next president of the United States.
	Big difference.
	Isn't he dead?
	Yeah, probably from that speech.
	Alright, we will be scouring the airwaves of the C-SPANS and all other douchebaggery channels, and I'll be reading this book just to tell you what the plan is, and we've got to find out more about this elite douchebag.
	And hold on to your cash.
	Don't listen to him.
	And we'll be back on Sunday to bring you another jam-packed episode of the No Agenda program.
	It is the best podcast in the universe.
	We're very proud to bring it to you.
	And appreciate your support through Dvorak.org slash NA. Coming to you from Camp Mofo here in the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody, my name is Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we were previously assured of the fact that medical marijuana would be okay in California, but no way.
	The feds are cracking down.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back here on Sunday.
	Right here, on No Agenda.
	And on the stream, The Book Guy has a special Book Guy episode at 9 o'clock Eastern Time this evening with special guests Tom Merritt and Veronica Belmont.
