	Hey, how many people we got working here?
	They're gonna come in and do a salary survey.
	We gotta find something else to do to justify the bullcrap jobs we have.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, July 8th, 2012.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 424.
	This is no agenda.
	Celebrating Miss Mickey's birthday here at 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 the trains are running, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's crackpot and buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	With a stinger.
	Da-da-da.
	That's right.
	In fact, there goes one now.
	Miss Mickey's birthday.
	Oh, congratulations.
	Is she, what, 29 now?
	Yes.
	When's she going to be 30?
	I guess it'll be next year?
	So, we've discussed this before.
	You know how the Dutch are about birthdays, right?
	Yeah, they make you sit in a chair in a circle.
	They take everybody and they bring them into a room and then they put chairs along the wall and make everyone sit there for an hour.
	And have the same discussion as the last birthday.
	But more importantly, in the morning...
	The birthday boy or girl's chair has to be all decorated and dressed up.
	It's crazy.
	It's one of these crazy traditions.
	Yeah, and everyone has to go to the quote-unquote party.
	It sounds dreadful.
	So I had to...
	Well, look, I love Miss Mickey, so I'm going to give her a proper Dutch birthday.
	You didn't have enough chairs.
	Well, no.
	I just did the whole balloon thing, man.
	But I had to wait until she went to bed.
	And, you know, of course, she's like, oh, I'm not tired yet.
	I'm like, oh, please just go to bed.
	Now, this being Texas...
	You can't go buy helium balloons and then leave them in your car or even take them outside of the store.
	The difference in temperature, I don't know, they either implode or explode or shrivel.
	And do you recall that we were talking about a helium shortage, John?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, this is a problem.
	Yeah, it's a bogus shortage.
	I think there's some scam going on.
	I spend half a day looking for helium.
	Yeah, no, you can't get helium anyway, unless you have your own bottle that you filled a couple years ago.
	You're not going to be able to get helium.
	But there's something scammish about it, because helium is just...
	American helium, we have most of it in the world, is extracted from all that natural gas that we're pumping out of the ground.
	It's where it all is, and it's just a simple filtration process.
	And we get the helium out, and we're still pumping natural gas like there's no tomorrow, and it's cheaper than ever.
	So there's a scam going on.
	I've never gotten to the bottom of what the scam is.
	Well, they couldn't tell me at any of the stores.
	All they said, well, there's signs up saying, due to supply issues, and I say, hey, you know what's going on?
	Yeah, something with fracking or whatever.
	Some people had kind of half a clue.
	But I needed helium.
	I needed to blow up some balloons and make this look right.
	So I'm driving around for half a day.
	I finally, I find it like the Hobbyland or Holly Hobby Horse, whatever.
	On top of the fifth shelf up, I see these canisters.
	I mean, like tank, like a propane tank full of helium.
	I'm like, score.
	It's a pink propane tank.
	Yeah, that's that cheap propane.
	Yeah, that doesn't hold much, but it holds enough for you.
	So what does one do if at one in the morning you're blowing up balloons with helium?
	What do you do?
	What do you do?
	Well, I know what I would do.
	I would finish the job and go to bed.
	But you, on the other hand, would probably breathe the helium and then record you.
	You know me so well.
	I'm like, oh, man, I got to run downstairs and record this quick.
	Taking a deeper breath.
	Well, I think it was kind of inferior quality.
	It sounds like it.
	I mean, you should have a much...
	It should be a much more sonaric helium sound.
	Well, I had the whole...
	Anyway.
	Anyway.
	You got to try it with argon.
	Yeah, sure.
	That's a heavier than the air, so your voice goes about two octaves.
	Oh, really?
	It goes lower?
	I don't know.
	The problem with argon is you can't get it out of your lungs because it's heavier than air, so it's the body.
	So you have to either stand on your head or you have to put yourself on a couch and put yourself upside down so you can get the damn stuff out of your lungs.
	It's very dangerous.
	Yeah, so happy birthday, honey.
	I'm dead.
	That's a good one.
	That is not good.
	The helium will come out.
	It's not a problem.
	Anyway, in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, listening to this show, and subs in the water.
	Yeah, and of course all of our servicemen and women around Gitmo Nation States doing their thing.
	And, of course, to our human resources in the chatroom, noagendastream.com, noagendachat.net.
	Nice to see you all in there, charged up and ready to go.
	This is the No Agenda Show, the best podcast in the universe.
	You do it twice a week.
	Sunday mornings and Thursday mornings, Gitmo Nation West time.
	And a live show, once again, for you than could not be happier about it.
	We actually did some work yesterday.
	And by the way, I want to mention to the Armed Forces members, we're the only show available that will actually critique the uniforms of the generals.
	Yeah, because they are wacky.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, we worked yesterday.
	Yeah, we did.
	We talked ourselves out.
	Yeah, well, yeah.
	Like they got long reverend man in clips if there's no reaction.
	Oh, good.
	Yeah, if we fall apart, then we can always resort back to the good reverend.
	Now, we recorded our two shows for the upcoming two shows, which will be 425-426.
	And boy, I'm telling you something.
	I think they're going to be better than people expected.
	Yeah, I think they're good too.
	And I think that what we should do is I'll make sure that Mr.
	Slave, get my oil and zero void.
	I'll make sure that they have copies so they can, if people want to, we'll roll them out at normal time and then people can sit in the chat room and grouse on us as if we were there.
	Right.
	Having the same effect on me as if I was there.
	As if you were actually there, yeah.
	Exactly.
	Oh boy.
	Well, lots of stuff to discuss.
	I'd kind of like to kick it off with a little educational message from the BBC. Who incorrectly, although they get part of it right, explain what this LIBOR thing is.
	Because this is starting to crank up, and we were on this pretty early.
	Although in the United States of Gitmo Nation, no one seems to be talking about it.
	I don't think a single report on ABC... Despite the fact that it's probably one of the most corrupt things that we've seen come down the pike for decades.
	Here's one minute of the BBC explaining what LIBOR is about.
	LIBOR, the London interbank offered rate, is the average cost of borrowing as Britain's banks lend each other money.
	It's calculated daily based on information supplied by those banks.
	After the financial crisis, the LIBOR rate also was seen as a guide to the health of banks' balance sheets.
	Barclays' manipulation alone could not have had a big effect on the final rate, but the suggestion is a lot of the big banks were doing the same thing.
	And the LIBOR rate has an effect on the real economy.
	That average rate.
	It is what drives the interest rates paid by hundreds of millions of people on their own mortgages, small businesses on their loans, student loans, insurance products.
	It affects a hugely diverse range of financial transactions globally, not just in the UK. Britain's central bank, the Bank of England, is trying to avoid being dragged into this scandal.
	It's denied it knew about LIBOR manipulation and was allowing it to happen.
	Barkley says that it submitted artificially low estimates of its borrowing costs because it thought rivals were doing the same.
	Higher submissions would make it appear to be in trouble.
	I thought they were doing it.
	It's okay.
	They were doing it.
	Just as this starts to unfold, of course, this report mentions nothing about the $800 trillion derivatives market, which is entirely based on LIBOR, at least what we call the vanilla stuff, the standard swaps, which is a form of a derivative.
	And I happen to know about this because, as I mentioned it before, I built a A web-based derivatives trading desk, so I had to understand what the heck was going on.
	I mean, I didn't bill.
	I supervised.
	Basically, I took the bankers who gave us the gig to the strip bar.
	That's pretty much what I did.
	And I'm not joking.
	That's how you get those and keep those gigs.
	But yeah, the swaps are all based on LIBOR, and it's the inflows and outflows of money based upon the interest rate.
	And essentially the banks were just scamming everybody who wasn't a banker, and this has been going on forever, obviously.
	Here's the funny stuff.
	You know these fines that Barclays has to pay to the FSA in the U.S.? Yeah.
	You know where that money goes?
	Yeah.
	No, where?
	To banks.
	Well, then what kind of a fine is that?
	Exactly!
	It goes right back to banks.
	Write yourself a check.
	The Financial Services Authority in the Gitmo Nation East says money collected in fines is used to reduce fees for other FSA members the following year.
	It's crazy.
	Just writing checks to each other.
	Okay.
	You got me this time.
	Damn it.
	But there are some lawsuits taking place.
	And if this really takes off, then I've got to almost think that this thing was triggered on purpose.
	They were just looking for the banking industry's tobacco moment.
	Like, we've got to accelerate this.
	We've got to bring this whole thing down.
	How can we do it?
	I know.
	Let's tell everybody we've been scamming them for years.
	Meanwhile, the BBC, since you brought them up, have been going after this idiot.
	We have a Department of Labor, head of the Department of Labor, this soulless woman, S-O-L-I-S. Who has never worked a job, from what I can tell, I did all the research I had to do to try to see if she ever even worked a job picking tomatoes.
	Our Department of Labor here in the United States?
	Yeah, our Department of Labor.
	She's never worked a job in her life.
	She's never run a business.
	She doesn't know anything about it.
	Her father did and was a union organizer and had all this background.
	They should have made him the chief of the Department of Labor.
	She's been an assemblywoman in California and she's won the John Kennedy Profiles in Courage.
	Oh, her name is Hilda.
	Hilda.
	Hilda.
	She won this award for passing a piece of legislation that they didn't want passed, and she did that.
	So now she's a hero.
	It's not like she took on the Mexican drug cartels or anything.
	That would actually take some guts.
	Hey, hold on.
	She was the first of her family to go to college.
	She's a moron.
	Yeah.
	She does kind of look like a moron.
	She is a moron.
	So they bring her on.
	I don't know why she even...
	Just show you how dumb she is.
	She came on the...
	BBC to be grilled on BBC America, which is kind of a lightweight show compared to Newsweek or Newsnight or whatever that one show is on Fridays, where they grill everybody.
	But she gets grilled, and I have some three clips of her failing to answer the questions and using all kinds of weasel words, political weasel words like, let me say this to you kind of thing.
	Oh, I love that, yeah.
	Believe me now, hear me now, believe me later.
	And for more on those critical numbers, I spoke to one of the key people trying to get America back to work.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Now I understand.
	She's getting us back to work.
	Oh, you should have told me that.
	Yes, she's getting us back.
	I want to mention something, by the way.
	I don't understand why the news media doesn't say this.
	Because of attrition and population growth, to break even in the job market, in other words, to actually add jobs, we have to increase employment by 150,000 people every month.
	When you go 80,000, that means we've lost jobs.
	We've actually lost jobs.
	Having 80,000 is not a positive, it's a negative, but no, we're moving in the right direction.
	Adding jobs is what that's called.
	Adding jobs.
	Labor Secretary Hilda Solis.
	Solis!
	Secretary Solis, thank you very much indeed for joining me.
	Thank you.
	It's pretty bad, isn't it?
	I mean, can we admit that the economy is not going as well as anyone would have hoped at this stage?
	I would just say that it's still trending up, and I would say that because we added 80,000 jobs.
	If it was below the line, then yes, I would say yes, we do have a big problem.
	But for 28 months, we've seen 4.4 million private sector jobs.
	When we lost 8 million, people have to be reminded this is a tough, tough recovery that we're through.
	We still don't have the full cooperation of members of Congress that we need.
	Just last week, finally, the White House and the Congress, they all agreed that we need to get a bill done on infrastructure for transportation that will create a million jobs.
	Wow.
	She's married to Sam Sayad, who owns Sayad's Automobile Repair Center.
	It's honest Sam.
	Come on now!
	This is the best we can do in this country for Secretary of Labor.
	All these, you know, academics are better than this.
	I mean, there's scions of business that could do this.
	And we come up with this idiot woman who is, I'll play clip too, and you can see where she's going.
	She never answers any questions.
	There's got to be a reason.
	She doesn't know what she's talking about.
	There's got to be a reason for this.
	She has these clues.
	She's a moron.
	You've replaced less than half of them.
	You're running out of time.
	Well, I would tell you that the trajectory that we're on, I believe, is the right amount because you don't want to see too many things cut out.
	You have to be prudent in what you spend your money on, but you also have to be more strategic where you put that money.
	So looking at new sectors, we're looking at healthcare industry, for example, manufacturing, IT, all these areas that we know are going to be growing out, and particularly energy.
	Renewable energy.
	You know, she was a congresswoman.
	Yeah.
	And by the way, renewable energy, we've got to go, we've got more of these scams that Obama's already, well, I don't know, he's taking the bath, he's paying off his buddies.
	Yeah.
	Let me say this about that.
	Let me tell you what I think.
	You know, it's just this whole, okay, we'll finish it off and then I have one other little side note.
	You want me to play the last clip?
	But you say you're looking at these areas.
	The fact remains, the markets today are tanking.
	The economy is not growing fast enough.
	You know, we have a lot of factors that affect us, including what's happening in Europe.
	I can only look at what's happening here, and I can tell you that the Congress can work together to get things done.
	If they so agree.
	And my hope is that because what I saw last week happening with just a transportation bill that's going to create jobs, that we can continue to do more of that.
	Yes, there's probably a lot of skepticism on the part of the other side of the aisle, but that's reasonable.
	We're in this political climate that we are.
	But I would say to you that the president has done much to make sure that we keep...
	College tuition low by reducing, again, the interest rate on their loans, making sure that we make investments in areas that are really needed with young people and are returning vets, making sure that we're opening up opportunities for them to be hired.
	But a lot of them are not getting the jobs they really need.
	The underemployment level is really large.
	I mean, it's hovering around 15%.
	Actually, what's happened, though, is we've had to reforce our programs and really look at how to focus in and make sure we get a good sense of what their skill sets are and to translate that into the marketplace because many employers don't understand the kind of work that these military folks were doing out in the field.
	So we have to change the coding, the credentialing, and make sure that that happens.
	But this is one thing.
	Yes.
	What you're talking about.
	Overall, the president is going into an election with a really awful economic state.
	When we started...
	What can he do in the time remaining?
	Well, I would just say that when we started, he inherited a catastrophe.
	I mean, who would have known that this would be such a hard, hard recession, almost like the Depression, and yet we're coming out of it.
	I figured it out.
	She sounds like she's 12, by the way, which doesn't help.
	Her father was a teamster in Mexico.
	She's a union girl.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, if you're a Democrat, that doesn't surprise me.
	I mean, I can see it, but she's not a union girl in that she's ever been in one.
	She's also the first Hispanic woman to serve in the U.S. Cabinet.
	So that's your biodiversite right there.
	Yeah, she sounds like she's 12.
	I will tell you.
	I will say to you.
	Okay, so you're going to say, well, why are you wasting my time with I will tell you, I will say to you.
	You're doing it now.
	The only thing I was missing was her saying, like.
	It's like the president inherited a disaster.
	But anyway, this is our Secretary of Labor and people wonder why.
	The Obama administration has put in these incompetent boneheads from stem to stern.
	Generally speaking out of Chicago, I don't know really what the connection is with this particular woman.
	What could the Chicago connection...
	Oh, you mean with this woman in Chicago?
	She's not from Chicago, she's from California.
	Yeah, I know.
	So I say I don't see the Chicago connection with her.
	Well, no, but California, that's where all the money comes from.
	For Obama.
	Whatever the case is.
	If anybody thinks this is a good thing.
	And if you don't play along, you get killed.
	So, I'd say listen up, bishes.
	So, meanwhile, in talking about wasting money, not creating any jobs whatsoever, especially jobs that are manufacturing or something that produces things, you know, that helps the economy.
	I guess they've rammed through this idiotic bullet train.
	Oh my God, what is it now?
	Is it $67 billion for this thing?
	Just keep people up, here's the clip.
	Opponents are outraged, but it is good news tonight for proponents of California's high-speed rail line by a vote of 21 to 16 lawmakers in Sacramento approving the multi-billion dollar project.
	It is the nation's first dedicated high-speed rail line and it promises to connect LA to San Francisco.
	Analysts say the approval marks a major political victory for Governor Jerry Brown and the Obama administration.
	both have promoted bullet trains as both job generators and clean transportation alternatives.
	All aboard trains good, planes bad.
	Woo-hoo!
	That's right.
	Get on a train.
	Get on a train.
	History will prove that it's not good when you hear someone say those words to you.
	Don't get on the train.
	It's not going anywhere good.
	Okay, San Francisco, L.A. I mean, there are people that are going to LA and San Francisco already do it on the plane fine.
	Yeah, Oakland to Burbank is beautiful.
	Yeah, you go to Burbank and you're there and then you go work in the Hollywood business or whatever you do.
	They would assume that this train is ever going to pay out and not be a huge loser.
	And by the way, they have nothing but roadblocks anyway.
	They were trying to run the thing through Palo Alto and everybody was up in arms.
	And so now they're going to route it out the middle of Manteca or someplace because no communities want this thing flying by their backyard.
	And so there's like a big, you know, so the thing's going to zigzag all the way down to L.A. through the deserts.
	And what this is, of course, is a big, big, big government contract for Siemens.
	And we know, you know, they got the, remember we looked into all of that, the new CEO over at Siemens, you know, he's a shill.
	And, of course, Siemens is the exact same.
	This is why you need to look out for it.
	Siemens is the exact same company that brought Greece down to its knees.
	Because they took over all of the public transportation, built these huge rail stations and everything, all the stuff.
	And they got, what is it now?
	I think it's like two or three billion euros in bribes Siemens gave to the Greek government.
	I'm sure that there's bribes involved in this piece of crap.
	Yeah.
	Oh, by the way...
	California state government?
	Sure.
	So, anyway, so this will break the state, which is, you know, been expected.
	It will go bankrupt.
	Little cities are going to be...
	Stockton's going bankrupt.
	You know, they put in the high-speed rail...
	They put in the high-speed rail, the HSL, as it's known, in the Netherlands.
	Gitmo Nation lowlands.
	In fact, the French always joke about Holland, saying Holland is that train stop up in the north.
	And this thing goes from Amsterdam all the way down.
	It doesn't go directly.
	I think you still have to interconnect to get to Paris, but you can go pretty far.
	Just billions and billions and billions thrown away.
	No one rides it.
	It's too expensive.
	It's still unreliable.
	And this woman, Melanie Schultz, who's the transportation minister, she's like, and by the way, they're giving subsidies to the commercial companies that can't afford to run it.
	So it's just the whole thing.
	It doesn't work.
	People, apparently, they're too expensive or whatever.
	They just don't care.
	And they don't want to go to Paris.
	I don't know what it is, but these things don't seem to work out well.
	They really don't.
	They don't.
	I think there's only one line of all the high-speed rails in the entire world that turn a profit.
	And I've seen, I've taken the high-speed trains throughout Europe.
	I've taken the ICE in Germany, which is a high-speed train.
	And I went from, a couple of times I've taken, because I like the ride, actually, from, but I'm an idiot.
	Because I went from Hanover all the way down to Zagreb.
	Wow.
	And the high-speed rail takes me to, I think, Munich or Slovenia.
	Then I have to get on a clunker.
	But whatever the case is, the high-speed rail down Germany to get from one town to another is like eight hours or six hours.
	It's a long ride.
	It's a big country.
	Everyone in Germany says, why are you taking this?
	Take the plane.
	Fly.
	It's so much faster you'll be there in an hour and a half.
	Get on the Autobahn and enjoy racing or something.
	At least you can have some fun.
	So I've taken that train.
	I've been on the Talies, which is the one that comes out of Holland and goes through Cologne.
	And it's just a clunker because the rails aren't set up for it.
	So the thing is, ambling along is like 45 miles an hour until you get to the French border.
	And then the thing kicks it in, and then you get to Paris pretty quickly, which is kind of interesting.
	And I've been on the TGV, and I've been on...
	I've been on that piece of crap in Sweden, the 2000 or whatever that thing is called.
	It's one of those high-speed rails that uses conventional tracks, but then the train shifts back and forth real fast to kind of balance itself.
	John, a little too much into the train thing, perhaps?
	I like trains.
	Yeah, clearly.
	So this Stockholm train, which I blogged about, will make you sick as a dog if you stand up.
	Alright, I gotta move you slowly away from the trains.
	Okay, well anyway, I'm just a little annoyed by this.
	So the Greek Prime Minister was sworn in.
	The new Greek Prime Minister.
	And that's done with a whole bunch of those Orthodox dudes and they have to touch the piece of wood.
	It's like a very interesting process.
	I watched this.
	And so he gave his first speech.
	And what do you think he's going to do first out of the gate?
	What do you think he's going to do?
	Renegue on the debt?
	Oh no, it's much better than that.
	This goes right back to the movie, the documentary.
	I've put it in the show notes again.
	424.nashownotes.com.
	The documentary is called Catastroica.
	The most unenviable job in European politics, running the Eurozone's weekend.
	But today, Antony Samaras told Parliament how he intends to succeed.
	Inside the chamber, a spot of Greek tradition, for the new Prime Minister laid out his program.
	People get screwed.
	Yeah, this is Russia too.
	Yeah, this is exactly what it is.
	Hey, you know, it is clear, we've got to privatize everything.
	Yeah, sell it!
	Cheap!
	And get to our buddies.
	Yeah, this is the GTZ corporation we talked about in the last episode.
	These are the guys who did it in Russia.
	I'm sorry, did it in East Germany.
	When, after the unification, they bought everything up, sold it cheap, you know, dimes on the dollar, and they're doing it again, and now it's Greece.
	Where is the analysis, I ask?
	Where is someone saying, let me look and see how that worked out for other places in the world?
	No.
	No, the Greeks, I feel bad, but they need to get out there.
	Actually, he's saying, let's delay paying back for two years.
	That's what he's asking for.
	I don't think it's even reported at all here.
	I had to get this out of European press.
	But he's saying, hey, look, let us slide.
	We got $237 billion.
	Let us slide for two years.
	And, oh, yeah, I'll sell you Boardwalk and all these other great little things I have here cheap.
	And I got hotels on them.
	Disgusting.
	Of course, this is obviously, you know, this guy turns out to be a shill and we have Mr.
	Euro now as the new finance minister after the elected or the finance minister from the elected party got abdominal cramps.
	I don't feel so good.
	I think I can't be in the government anymore.
	I'm out of here.
	That and that 9mm pointed at my head all the time.
	Let this guy come in.
	The guy who actually brought Greece into the Euro.
	Oh.
	Sorry there.
	The Greeks would like to talk their politics into cafes 24-7, so it'll be interesting to see how the public reacts to this in the long haul.
	I'm sure the rioting will continue.
	It better.
	That's the only thing left for them.
	Another thing that's not reported, by the way, is the sheer amount of rioting taking place in Europe.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, I know.
	Let's thank our...
	We have...
	Oh, I see we have a nice executive producer coming in today.
	Yes, and of course you would bring this up just as I failed to log in.
	That's okay, because in cases like this, I have a jingle.
	We suck, wah, wah, wah.
	Did I cover you?
	I do have some filler material, and as I'm logging in, we can play.
	More filler.
	Manning Part 1.
	Pastor Manning.
	Hold on.
	Manning...
	I don't see Manning Part 1.
	It's the one.
	What does this list say?
	It says Manning Finale, Manning on Fox, Manning Part 3, Manning Tea Party...
	Manning on Fox.
	Oh, that sounds so much like Manning 1, doesn't it?
	Well, you're not looking at the whole thing.
	And when Fox News saw the millions that came down to the 9-10 September 2009 Tea Party rally, they immediately jumped on board because they recognized that the Tea Party had reached critical mass in terms of the number of people that were supporting it.
	So they began to support the Tea Party.
	But the other thing that happened at Fox News and some of the Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch were also negotiating with is that after the election, the rule came down, you speak ill against Obama, you lose your license.
	You speak ill against Obama, you lose all your advertising.
	And so Fox News then cut a deal to get rid of Fox News' most outspoken speaker of Obama in Glenn Beck.
	Oh, Glenn Beck.
	Took about eight, nine months to get it done.
	They got rid of him.
	They toned down Sarah Palin.
	And they pumped up Bill O'Reilly, who is a sellout.
	Bill O'Reilly is a whore from the word go.
	Bill O'Reilly and Obama's father are both in-heat whores.
	You offer Bill O'Reilly money, he don't care, he'll take it.
	And he began to pump up and support Obama.
	So the other mistake was, in addition to putting your trust in the Tea Party, people began to put their trust in Fox News.
	But Fox News had already sold out to quietly support Obama.
	And they sent the big gun of Bill O'Reilly out there to shoot down the birth certificate and call all the birthers whack jobs, loons, crazies, and racists.
	And night after night, night after night on the Fox show, whatever it's called, Bill O'Reilly, de facto O'Reilly.
	He shot down birthers, called them crazies, called them loons, until finally anybody who came on Fox News was afraid to even mention the birth certificate.
	And that wasn't all.
	Riley then stepped up and said, I've seen the birth certificate.
	I personally have seen it.
	So shut up!
	That's Obama's eligibility.
	And so Fox News sold out.
	But still people, knowing that they have been cheated by Fox News, turn on Fox News every day.
	I don't understand that.
	I don't understand it.
	Is it the Stockholm Syndrome where you actually take part in your own destruction?
	I mean, I consider Fox News the new Charles Manson.
	And the Manson followers, no matter what he did, stabbed Sharon's tape in the stomach with a knife, though she's pregnant, raped and robbed and pilfered.
	I see people who watch Fox News as followers of Charles Manson, because Fox News has sold out.
	Go ahead now and whoop the dung-head media!
	Okay, it's good.
	I love that guy.
	He's better.
	Wait until you hear the finale.
	Wow.
	You know, why did we even tape two episodes for when I'm getting married?
	Just run this guy's show.
	Yeah, well, I had to cut this down from about an hour.
	Well, that is the problem.
	Yeah, that is the problem.
	Yeah, he's very long.
	So anyway, people that listen to our show, of course, we're not Fox News.
	We haven't sold out.
	And so we have people that contribute and help produce the shows.
	We also don't go around the country collecting $100,000 in speaking fees.
	We don't have hookers and blow and all that stuff.
	But yeah, we haven't sold out.
	We wish.
	Yeah, we have not sold out.
	So Richard in Tasmania came in as our, he'll be our executive producer for show 424 with $1,048.
	He's on the night list.
	Refer to me as Richard from Tasmania.
	It's $8.48 for general show, $200 for a wedding present.
	I figure cash is the best gift.
	Please give Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd a double douchebag.
	Okay.
	Douchebag!
	Douchebag!
	For implementing a policy that has led to 800 illegal immigrants drowning at sea in four years.
	Wow.
	It's been a couple of years since I last donated light to give Julia, Prime Minister of Australia, and Kevin Rudd, former...
	Oh, he just...
	The double douche, yeah.
	From now on, they should be called the Prime Douche of Australia.
	Yeah.
	Two weeks ago, she introduced legislation in Parliament to fix the illegal immigrant problem that she knew would not pass.
	Since that time, there have been three more rescues at sea.
	The prime douche refuses to take action to halt this illegal and immoral trade.
	Then last week, there was news that South Korea wanted to resume hunting whales, and there was an immediate and concerted push by the government to save the whales.
	Save the whales!
	She and the government of Australia value the whales above the lives of humans.
	Douches!
	I think we need to call every Prime Minister the Prime Douche.
	The Prime Douche.
	In fact, that sounds like a lovely product.
	Do you have that not-so-fresh feeling?
	Time for your prime douche.
	I'm sorry.
	Rich will be our guy.
	Nice.
	Then we have three associate executive producers, Anonymous in Dallas.
	People don't want to name themselves.
	250 bucks from Anonymous in Dallas.
	Right down the road.
	Waving to you.
	Bernie Atima, or Atima, Atima.
	And Hinton, Iowa, 220.
	Thanks for all the work you guys do in the best podcast in the universe.
	My son, David Atima, and his fiancée, Rose Soak, donated for my birthday on July 5th, and he called out his brother, John Atima, as a douchebag.
	In John's defense, his propagation of the formula is the reason that we are listening.
	So I'm adding $20 for his de-douching.
	Adam correctly pronounced my last name, uh...
	Atema, see?
	Atema.
	It's Atema.
	Yeah, Atema.
	All four of my grandparents come from Holland.
	Oh.
	There you go.
	I want to thank David and Roy, okay, by Bernie Atema.
	Okay.
	Uh...
	I'm donating $200 for them to be co-producers, David and Rose, and wish them a happy birthday for June 26th and 30th.
	Please give them a birthday shout-out.
	I'm also making a separate donation to start my knighthood.
	We're all Christian, so no karma is needed, but I would appreciate a combo hate citizen.
	Whip them with the Constitution and in the morning.
	God blessings to Adam and Ms.
	Mickey on their wedding and future together.
	Thanks again, John and Adam.
	Here's for many more years.
	Bernie.
	Oh, that's very kind.
	Thank you very much, Bernie.
	And we'll have to add a de-douching at the end there, so here we go.
	Hey, citizen.
	Now get out there and whoop Obama's behind.
	Now get out there and whoop it.
	You've been de-douched.
	Long road to Tipperary.
	David Beerson, Altoona, Iowa.
	We had two Iowans in today.
	That's nice.
	If you read this aloud, I didn't admit his last name, but that's okay.
	It's a drunken donation.
	I wonder if he's really drunk here.
	Okay, let's try it.
	I was on a $5 per month, 200 payment night program, but I have to step it up to make night before the end of the year.
	I had my first multiple sclerosis attack a year ago, and I've had to go through massive amounts of steroids and physical therapy to regain the ability to walk again and go through the day without wetting myself.
	Hold on, hold on, John.
	Now, let's do it properly.
	Do an MS drunk donation.
	You're like way too good.
	I can't do it.
	I don't know what that's like.
	It's primarily just in pain.
	It's not good, is what it is.
	Now I pay Merck my pound of flesh a month for an injection.
	To hope of avoiding a relapse.
	MS is the worst thing.
	I need some Huntsman karma to keep you guys going for at least two days a week so I have something to listen to while I'm at the gym.
	Hopefully not pee in the pool.
	Oh, man.
	It comes to that MS fucker again.
	He's going to pee in the pool.
	No!
	Wow, man.
	Keep him out.
	Yeah, well, definitely.
	You need some karma, my friend.
	Wow.
	You've got karma.
	I find it oftentimes just best to laugh along with these people when they make jokes like that.
	Well, yeah.
	It's the easiest way.
	It's like their problem that they're, you know, I'm sure he's shaking his head with some of these miserable situations that occur to him, but MS is terrible.
	Yeah, that's a shitty disease.
	It's terrible, and it's just apparently one of the most painful experiences you can have.
	Your body's essentially...
	Shutting down.
	Well, it's just going against itself.
	Yeah.
	Ugh.
	Those are our executive producers for show 424.
	I want to thank all of them, executive and associate executives.
	We'll do a nighting or so coming up and remind people that even though we're doing, well, it's not really clip shows.
	These are actually produced shows coming up.
	We won't be live, though.
	We still need your support.
	So go to Dvorak.org slash na channel, Dvorak.com slash na, NoAgendaShow.com and NoAgendaNation.com where there's a donate button you can push.
	And we appreciate all the help that we get on a show-by-show basis.
	Yes, and thanks again to our executive producer, Richard in Tasmania, and our associate executive producers, Anonymous, Bernie Atema, and David in Iowa.
	These are, of course, official credits.
	You can take that to the bank, but you can actually have us vouch for you if anyone questions the validity of these things.
	And an art credit goes to Martin JJ for the artwork that he put together.
	For the previous episode of No Agenda 423, thank you so much.
	And yes, indeed, do remember to go to...
	Of course, you can always do this.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Build. Build. Order.
	All right, little kid, it's your turn again.
	Shut up, slave.
	I love that kid.
	I do.
	Hey, baby bubba.
	So there's a...
	Hey, baby bubba.
	To the rhythm of the boogity beat.
	There's a...
	What song was that from?
	Come on.
	I know this song too.
	I said a hip hop, the hibbit, the hibbit to the hip, hip hoppy, you don't stop, a rock into the bang, bang boogie, up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogity beat.
	Right?
	Yeah, that's it.
	You remember the lyrics to that song.
	I knew all 17 minutes of it.
	It's one of those things.
	What's the name of it?
	It's Rapper's Delight, Sugar Hill Gang.
	Oh, right now.
	So we have a new term, and a very, very awesome term, coming from all directions, and only people on the listeners and producers of the No Agenda show will actually understand what all of this means, and it's going to be a tough one.
	So this is for your knowledge.
	If you want to go against people who really think they know what they're talking about, it's going to be tough, and you're going to be looked at as a total a-hole.
	But the term is internet freedom.
	Yes.
	The Human Rights Council, if you read the reports, backs internet freedom.
	Internet access is a human right.
	Says United Nations.
	Now, we've talked about human rights here many times on the program.
	I will refer you once again to the professor from Columbia, who I spoke with on the Big Book Show, his book about the history of human rights.
	I'll put that in the show notes again.
	And Lucifer Hillary Clinton, of course, is right out front there saying, oh, this is fantastic.
	Here's the statement from the State Department.
	Let me see.
	The United Nations was proud to work with its main sponsor, Sweden.
	This outcome is momentous for the Human Rights Council.
	This is U.S. Ambassador Eileen Chamberlain.
	Everyone just loves Internet freedom.
	Internet freedom.
	Internet freedom.
	Now, if you're familiar with the doublespeak, then you know that Internet freedom will mean anything but freedom.
	Now, what's interesting is while this came out, and I'll discuss this document in a moment, Ron and Rand Paul came out with their own...
	Interesting how the press turned this around.
	The headlines pretty much read, Ron and Rand Paul come out with a manifesto, which of course is code for you're a kook.
	Because, you know, no one comes out with a manifesto unless you're going to kill people.
	And technically, it's called the Technology Revolution, a Campaign for Liberty manifesto.
	And this is being pretty much universally panned by the people who have been fooled by the term net neutrality.
	And what Ron and Rand Paul are saying in this document, and unlike other podcasts who say, I've read the documents!
	I've read the documents!
	I've read the documents and I've also highlighted the relevant pieces and we make them available so you can read the documents for yourself instead of being told on other podcasts, Go Google it for yourself!
	No, no.
	We actually have the documents.
	You have another guy there with you?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I love the documents!
	Go ahead and Google them for yourself!
	Technology revolutionaries succeed because of the decentralized nature of the Internet, which defies government control.
	Ironically, just as decentralization has unleashed the potential for free markets and individual freedom on a global scale, collectivists, special interests, and governments worldwide are now tirelessly pushing for more centralized control of the Internet and technology.
	And here is the key piece in the Ron Rand Paul quote manifesto.
	Net neutrality means government acting as an arbiter and enforcer of what it deems to be neutral.
	Now, that's the key point here.
	And I put several links in the show notes.
	I just got tired of collecting them.
	If you go around and look, you'll see that everyone is saying, oh, man, these guys are kooks.
	They got it all wrong.
	Net neutrality is good.
	And it is all code, and I think we've discussed that before.
	But now let's look at the Human Rights Council Internet Freedom Resolution.
	It's a two-pager, very, very short, but the devil, as always, is in the details.
	It has all the countries listed who have signed on, and the key line, the promotion, protection, and enjoyment of human rights on the Internet.
	And then they have guided by the Charter of the United Nations, reaffirming the human rights and fundamental freedoms, recalling, ah, oh, recalling.
	This is where I always start to like, oh, let me take a look here.
	Recalling all relevant resolutions of the Commission on Human Rights and the Human Rights Council on the right to freedom of opinion and expression, in particular, Council Resolution 1216 of 2 October 2009, and also recalling General Assembly Resolution 66184 of the 22nd of December 2011.
	So what do I do as your government legislation analyst?
	I went and found these documents that's referenced.
	Because this is what they always do.
	The headline is, Human Rights on the Internet.
	We're all free.
	Internet freedom.
	It's all going to be great.
	You get free, free, free.
	It's all going to be perfect.
	You can do whatever you want.
	So then I open up United Nations Human Rights Council 1216, and this is the Freedom of Opinion and Expressions Agreement that we have signed on to and ratified as the United States of Gitmo Nation.
	And this is all about the freedom to express yourself, recognizing that the exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and expression is one of the essential foundations of a democratic society.
	It's enabled by a democratic environment which offers inter alia, guarantees for its protection, essential to full and effective participation in free and democratic society, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	And of course, all over all these documents, deeply concerned that violations of the right to freedom of opinion and expression continue to occur, including increased attacks directed against and killings of journalists and media workers, and stressing the need to ensure greater protection for all media professionals and for journalistic sources.
	And I'd like to go on the record right now saying that, John, you and I are probably not going to be considered journalists and or media workers.
	Workers.
	Workers.
	Not media workers.
	What's a media worker?
	Well, whatever it is, it's not us.
	So here's what's interesting.
	Here is the key part.
	This is Article 4 of this resolution.
	And here's when it comes to free speech.
	So this is Internet freedom.
	Here's what you will not be allowed to do in your Internet freedom.
	Incidents of racial and religious intolerance.
	Intolerance.
	Intolerance, ladies and gentlemen.
	Define that for me.
	Discrimination and related violence, of course, as well as of negative racial and religious stereotyping, so you can't say Islamic terrorist.
	Condemnation of any advocacy of national, racial, or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination.
	So you can't even incite...
	I knew you'd love it.
	Thank you.
	How's that freedom of speech?
	It's not.
	That's why it's called Internet Freedom.
	It gets better.
	Let me read that line again.
	Any advocacy of national, racial, or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination.
	Hey man, he incited me to discriminate.
	It's his fault.
	Hostility or violence.
	That includes you suck.
	Yes, exactly.
	Exactly.
	You want to hear more?
	Because there's more to it.
	Oh yeah.
	There's more to it.
	Here it is.
	Let's see.
	While monitoring...
	It's also beautifully marked in this as well.
	The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides that the exercise of the right to freedom of opinion and expression carries with it special duties and responsibilities.
	Okay, let's see what these are.
	Oh, here it is.
	Cool.
	So you have full respect for the freedom to seek, receive, and impart information.
	Okay, that's all good.
	However, however...
	You cannot participate in racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and related intolerance to preventing human rights abuses.
	So, if I say, hey, don't go and bomb Syria, I am now officially breaking law.
	Because I'm intolerant towards prevention of human rights abuses.
	Mm-hmm.
	You may also not promote certain false images and negative stereotypes of vulnerable individuals or groups of individuals.
	And may not use information communication technologies such as internet for purposes contrary to respect for human rights, in particular to the perpetration of violence...
	Perpetuation.
	No, it says perpetration.
	Perpetration.
	It's not going to say perpetuation.
	No, it says...
	That's what the word should...
	They've fucked it up.
	It says perpetration.
	Okay, well, fine.
	Maybe there's a word perpetration.
	I've never heard of it.
	It says perpetration.
	Alright, so that's the first document.
	Now, it refers to the second document, which is United Nations Human Rights Council 66184, Information and Communication Technologies for Development.
	And this is a very interesting document, because this leads us to the next stepping stone.
	Taking note of the broadband targets for 2015 established by the Commission at its Broadband Leadership Summit.
	Wow, John, I must have lost my invite in the mail.
	Which set targets for making broadband policy universal and for increasing affordability and broadband uptake towards the attainment of the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals, to ensure that the potential of broadband connectivity and content are at the service of development.
	So, what this is doing is saying, alright, and we're doing this here.
	We have the broadband bill.
	Which the president signed into law.
	The government now is at least co-owner of the broadband pipes.
	And this is exactly what Ron and Rand Paul are warning against.
	And here it is.
	The importance of the Internet Governance Forum and its mandate as a multi-stakeholder...
	For dialogue in various matters, including public policy issues related to key elements of Internet governance.
	There you go.
	Internet freedom is Internet governance.
	Yes, and you can...
	That's a good one.
	It took a lot of...
	It's a little long.
	You could have cut it shorter, but I think you made your point.
	It's bullshit.
	So you can actually go to this Internet Governance website.
	Let me just give you the URL for a second.
	Intgovforum.org.
	And right there, it'll tell you everything that they're going to be doing.
	Aims, creating a distinct website for dynamic coalition.
	Oh, wow, that's a stupid one.
	To commission white papers on the various distinct legal challenges surrounding social media.
	Hello?
	They're going to regulate social media, whatever that is.
	This is internet governance, ladies and gentlemen.
	And it's hidden under the guise of internet freedom and net neutrality and all those douchebags on tech shows are buying it.
	Of course.
	And worse, the same people are saying Ron Paul and Rand Paul are idiots because of their manifesto.
	I have to agree.
	They presented like idiots.
	These guys need the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group immediately.
	They're doing it all wrong in presenting.
	The word manifesto should have never been brought into the conversation.
	Are they stupid?
	Are they totally idiotically stupid?
	Even though they're right.
	And I'm thinking, John, the only thing we can do...
	Because remember how the internet started?
	Let me just take you back.
	The internet started with using the existing phone line system with modems.
	And then you had a guy, you know, my first ISP was Panix.com, P-A-N-I-X. And the guy had, like, you know, some, like, sun machine and a bunch of modems attached to it.
	And, you know, you literally had, like, after an hour, your modem would get kicked off because you were hogging the network.
	And he had a frame relay line.
	These were telephone lines.
	We built it on top of everything.
	And somehow it's gotten down to, you know, now we have, of course, because of the way the government is already regulating cable and telephone, this is why we're in this predicament.
	I can predict for you right now that the free internet, the true free internet, is going to have to run on 56k modems again.
	There's no other way we can do it.
	And I have a question for you.
	Has the technology since the days of 56k modems improved that we can get more throughput on a regular phone line?
	Well, what you do...
	I know you can multiply.
	I could order five phone lines and I could multiplex.
	Right, you bond.
	You do bonding.
	Yeah, multiplexing I think is the technical term.
	And if I'm not mistaken, the last technology you could get up to 128 without having to use ISDN. I don't know.
	No.
	Generally speaking, the modem technology has been...
	Who's going to work on it?
	You know, 56K is a lot, by the way.
	Yeah.
	I mean, when it started off, the first modem I owned was...
	It's a lot.
	Hold on a second.
	Can I just use that as the quote of the day?
	Yeah.
	56K is a lot, man.
	That's like...
	It's a lot compared to 300 baud.
	Well, yeah, and there's that.
	Yeah.
	So it started off at 300 baud, and there was a variable modem.
	I can't remember the name of it, but it would vary between 300 and 600 baud.
	And it took forever.
	Then you had the 1200 baud modem, and that was the big deal.
	And then they had some tricks to make it jump to 24.
	And then there was the 9600 baud modem, which was the biggest deal ever.
	Yeah.
	And then things kind of stabilize.
	And that actually got the bulletin board scene and all these things really going full tilt.
	And then we came up with some of these tricks to really jack it up.
	But it's not quite the same as Ethernet.
	No, but if we have to remain free of Internet freedom...
	You know, I still have some of my 56k modems.
	You know, AOL, I'd say go long on AOL stock.
	I think they've dropped all those numbers.
	Really?
	Fools!
	They're double idiots.
	They are double idiots.
	It's going to come back.
	People are going to want 56k modems again.
	You know, the problem that I've had with technology, I've written about this, is that I don't think I can get a modem to work anymore.
	I mean, if I had all the...
	I just don't know.
	I need some software.
	I need some modem software, and then I got to set it, and I got to change a bunch of settings, and I got to give it dot codes or some damn thing.
	Laptops don't even come with a modem jack anymore, a phone jack.
	Yeah, I'd have to dig up an old laptop that was slow running Windows 95.
	An RS-232 plug.
	I'm telling you, you can't...
	You know, that's the weird thing about it.
	You can't...
	You're screwed.
	I mean, essentially, it's like you put integrated circuits smaller and smaller and smaller.
	Now you can't repair anything.
	Well, I think that there's a market here, and it's going to be an underground market, and people are going to be refurbishing modems.
	You know, ham radio operators that could probably be leading the way.
	Yeah.
	But I think it's going to be necessary.
	How else are we going to achieve true Internet freedom?
	This is just crazy.
	And the amount of...
	The number of dipshits who are, you know, and I saw it all, you know, CNET, Salon, everyone's like, you know, this is great.
	Internet freedom is now a human right.
	What, is the internet going to feed you?
	It's now a human right.
	If it's raining, do you get under the internet and it keeps you dry?
	No, the only thing the internet freedom is going to do is not allow you to be intolerant towards human rights abuses.
	So we are technically, now that this has been signed off and ratified, in violation of this resolution.
	We are in violation of it.
	Because we do not agree on what is happening in Syria.
	So, breaking the law.
	Well, luckily there's no enforcement mechanism in place yet.
	But that's just yet.
	Yet.
	Okay, well, that's enlightening.
	That was very, very depressing.
	Well, but it's important.
	I would give you a clip of the day, but there's no clip involved.
	Besides that, I have the clip of the day.
	Well, I need it now, then.
	Hand it to me.
	Well, I'm not going to give you the clip of the day, but I think we should move along and play part two, the rant about the tea party.
	We have a theme.
	We have a theme today.
	The Tea Party's ineffective, but yet people thought that they had the power.
	You can see it.
	They are not your friend.
	And we have said this over and over and over again.
	And the Tea Party congressional members are not your friends.
	So trusting in this was a major mistake.
	Had you stayed with the ineligibility, the unconstitutional statement of status of Obama, you would not be weeping today.
	You would not be wringing your hands today had you stayed with the issue that was the only issue, and that is the issue of Obama's ineligibility.
	And that, even of itself, We're good to go.
	People got flat out angry with me when I told them Obama was a slickster.
	He was a pimp.
	He was a long-legged mack daddy.
	He was a hustler.
	He was a stealer of Dr.
	King's dream.
	And he didn't care anything about black people.
	Not only that, but it wasn't black.
	And black people got mad enough for me to chew nails.
	They were wrong!
	Now you are wrong!
	You are wrong!
	For following the Tea Party, you're wrong!
	For following Fox News, you're wrong!
	You're wrong!
	The Koch brothers benefits greatly from Obama.
	They're all now selling the same program.
	And this new film out now demonstrates Obama being the son of Frank Marshall Davis.
	Ain't nothing but another move by Obama.
	You're dealing with the devil!
	You're not dealing with a human being.
	You're dealing with the son of Satan!
	And he's got moves that you've never thought of.
	You're wrong!
	The problem is, you're blind!
	You're blind!
	You're gonna turn on Fox News as long as they tease you with the idea that they're against Obama!
	But if you were the executive producer and the editor of the news at Fox News, couldn't you put together a roster of announcers and news items that would destroy Obama in a heartbeat?
	You could even do that!
	You post up on your Facebook page.
	You post up on YouTube information.
	And if you were at Fox News, you'd do the same thing that you're doing on your Facebook page.
	So you know Fox News is a damn sellout.
	You know they can do better.
	You know they can tell the truth.
	Because you do it, and yet you give them a pass for not doing it.
	What's wrong with you?
	What's wrong with you?
	The same thing with the Tea Party!
	The same thing!
	No Tea Party member of Congress will talk about the fact that we've got a criminal, the courts have been co-opted, and now they've been co-opted.
	And you know it!
	You know it!
	You know it!
	It's a bit long.
	Yeah, that one I could have cut off when he gave it the Frank Davis thing.
	You know, that was something that he's always considering.
	The Frank Davis that was born to this guy as his real dad is an Obama scheme.
	The devil.
	That's even better.
	You got to talk about it!
	Well, the next ones aren't that long.
	That one I could have cut right there.
	That's actually the interesting thing that he brought up.
	That's a good take.
	That's a deconstruction.
	I liked it.
	Okay.
	Where do you want to go?
	Because while you were laughing to Reverend Manning, I was doing some work.
	If you don't mind.
	New World Order?
	I mean, we could take a little break here and go to some real news.
	Oh, well.
	No, no, no, no.
	That's not the right balance.
	We just did Manning.
	We've got to do something real.
	Do you remember we were listening to the most powerful woman in the universe, Christine Lagarde, in that interview, and she was talking about how they were going to set the carbon tax at $23 a ton.
	Right.
	Which now is the exact amount that it has been set at by the prime douche of Australia, The Gillard.
	So they're using the IMF number.
	This is no coincidence.
	And then in that discussion they talked about the Article 4 report.
	Do you recall that?
	Yeah, we discussed this in great detail.
	Right.
	So the Article 4 report is basically the IMF's report card, the global banking report card, where they can actually tell these countries what they have to do.
	So she held a press conference, and the message was, well, the U.S. economy is tepid, which I just think is a wonderful word.
	It's tepid.
	Because I think you use the word tepid pretty much only with T, don't you?
	Yeah, it refers to the temperature of water, generally speaking.
	Lukewarm would be a synonym.
	I think tepid is a little warmer than lukewarm.
	I don't know.
	I think it's colder.
	Really?
	Well, tepid has more implications than lukewarm, which is not a good word either.
	But you say you got a lukewarm reception or you got a tepid reception.
	I think lukewarm is more insulting to some people's way of thinking, but others who are more maybe highbrow might think tepid is a better word in this regard.
	I don't know.
	I think they're both the same.
	Yeah, I'm looking at the definition, moderately warm or lukewarm, so it does seem like it's an equivalent.
	But it's a good word, tepid.
	And so then, it's very short, you know, it's tepid.
	And of course, you know, pfft.
	We have the fiscal cliff.
	She actually used those words, which means the expiration of the so-called Bush tax cuts for the rich.
	Well, that and a number of other things.
	There's a bunch of factors that take place.
	I think there's three.
	I don't know what the three are, but the Bush tax cut is just one of them on January 1st, and that can be repealed easy enough.
	I'm sorry.
	The other two are a little more difficult.
	You have to say Bush tax cuts for the rich.
	Yeah, the Bush tax cuts.
	There are also Bush tax cuts for everybody else, but for the rich is what we have to say to be politically correct.
	Yeah, for the rich.
	But it's for everybody else, just so you know.
	And then, of course, the malaise in Europe, because now, of course, that's going to bring everything down, according to Lagarde.
	Now, then we have the question and answer session.
	Very interesting, I found.
	And there's this one woman, girl, almost, I have to say girl, from, I think, the China Financial Daily.
	And if you have a chance to look at the video, of course, all these are linked in the show notes, 424.nashownotes.com.
	She's smoking.
	She's hot.
	You know, because they do swing the camera around.
	I mean, no, she's cute.
	She's really like, kind of cute.
	And she asked two questions, which the first one I can't wait to figure out, and the second one was just interesting in Lagarde's response.
	Let's go with this lady right here.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	My name is Mishong, and I'm with China's 21st Century Business Herald.
	Oh, yes.
	21st Business Herald.
	I have two questions.
	The first one is, both of them are about U.S. The first one is that recently there's a book coming out from the Peterson Institute, written by a former IMF deputy director from the research department, where he lays out a scenario that in eight years, U.S. will end up to borrow money from the IMF, under a similar crisis as the European countries are facing right now.
	Let me get this straight.
	So a guy who actually worked in the research search department, a director who, you know, the people who put out these reports about things being tepid, he's coming out with a book that says in eight years it will be Europe.
	I think that's a decent question.
	So in your discussions currently, have this scenario ever come up in your discussions?
	I don't know.
	We never talk about that.
	The second question is that I understand IMF has made a great progress over the recent G20 summit regarding raising more contributions from member countries.
	However, U.S. did not contribute in this round.
	And over the course of debate, even some American expert raised concerns about the fact that U.S. government decided to shy away from such responsibility.
	As the director, as the main director for IMF, what's your comment for U.S. in participation, non-participation in this round of contributions?
	I didn't know this.
	I didn't know that the...
	I thought the G20 was to go and talk about politics, but it's not.
	It's like a cash call.
	So basically, you have a big meeting and everyone brings their checkbook.
	I didn't realize that.
	Did you know that they did a round of finance?
	A finance round?
	Nope.
	I did not.
	And I certainly didn't know that.
	Well, that's probably why we didn't hear about it because everyone's like, shh, ABC News.
	Shh, quiet.
	We're not ponying up, man.
	We're not giving any money.
	At this point, they're not telling the public anything about anything.
	It's ridiculous.
	It also means that, I guess, if there's a cash call and we don't belly up, then we have to dilute in our ownership.
	I can't see it working any other way.
	So let's just listen to our answers briefly.
	Thanks.
	You know, I look forward to reading this book, of course.
	But I was asked exactly the same question last year in July, you know, when there was this raging debate about the debt ceiling, and I was asked by one of your colleagues, you know, is the U.S. going to borrow from the IMF? My response was...
	We wouldn't have enough resources to lend to the United States of America under any kind of program.
	There you go.
	There's your answer.
	It better not happen.
	She's not saying if it will or could.
	It's not going to happen anyway.
	We own the IMF. Well, I don't know because we don't have enough.
	I mean, technically we own the World Bank and the IMF is a stooge party.
	But I'm not buying any of this.
	Some Chinese conspiracy horseshit.
	This makes economic hitman work.
	We have to have all these things in place.
	I have to say she was too cute to be taken serious as a journalist for this stuff.
	Well, she definitely got put down if you listen to that answer subtly.
	Well, this is the exact same question your colleague asked a year ago.
	You conspiracy wench, you...
	Clearly that shows that that was a very far-fetched and very, very hypothetical question.
	So you suck, basically.
	Far-fetched.
	And very hypothetical.
	You suck.
	I trust that the U.S. authorities will have the wisdom and the sagacity to...
	Oh, another good word!
	Sagacity.
	Yeah, sagacity is a good word.
	What does sagacity mean?
	It means the intelligence, the deep wisdom-based intelligence is what it means.
	Nice.
	To choose the right policies and to avoid the obstacles, the hurdles, and the traps that are facing any economy in the course of things.
	Yeah.
	The second point about the contributions.
	First of all, I'm very pleased and very grateful to all those who contributed that we could actually increase the resources of the fund by $456 billion by way of bilateral loans.
	Bilateral loans.
	The principle of bilateral loans is that they are voluntary.
	Whoever wants to participate, participates.
	There you go.
	Just like venture capital.
	Yeah, we're smart, obviously.
	We were smart.
	We're screwing the other investors.
	I think that's what the message is there.
	It's idiots.
	Yeah, that's what I think.
	Yeah.
	All right, I'll take you out there, too.
	And now, back to real news.
	Okay, so, you know, this is going to be my last attempt at this, by the way.
	The cheap Indians who listen to the show because they all speak English and many of them are in India.
	I'm sure some of them don't care.
	We've tried to cater to them.
	So now I've got one more shot at this with another Bollywood premiere, another movie coming out, and this time they list all the names of all the famous actors and actresses in India.
	I'm sure you've heard of all of them.
	And to promote this new movie.
	And I just thought we'd just run this thing.
	I did cut it down a little bit, but I just thought we'd run it to show the Indians that we care about what's going on in Bollywood.
	Bollywood's Madhouse is back.
	The king of slapstick comedy takes cine fans on a laugh ride this weekend with his new release.
	Take a look.
	They tickled the funny bone with some greatest comedies of recent times.
	They brought the adrenaline rushing with one of the biggest action films last year.
	Now this team is back to doing what they are best at with Bol Bachchan.
	Director Rohit Shetty brings in yet another romantic comedy with his favorite actors Ajay Devgan and Abhishek Bachchan.
	The filmmaker held a special screening for close friends and family in entertainment capital Mumbai late on Thursday.
	Iconic actor Amitabh Bachchan was the first to come to chair for his son Abhishek.
	Leading Lady Prachi Desai was all smiles as Devgan trooped in with sister-in-law Tanisha Mukherjee.
	Actors Sunil Shetty, Nikhil Divedi and Arjan Bajwa also came to wish their friends.
	Rohit made sure to invite fellow filmmakers Rajkumar Hirani, Sajid Khan, Ashutosh Gwarikar, Rohan Sippy and Prakash Shah.
	What channel do you get this off of?
	I need to set my DVR for this.
	What channel is this on?
	I couldn't understand a word he said.
	I heard that Mumbai is the entertainment capital.
	I heard that part.
	The entertainment capital of Mumbai.
	Is this Bollywood Tonight or something?
	Bollywood.
	Where did you get this from?
	This is the South Asian News.
	It's one of these foreign operations that I've been listening to recently.
	Wow.
	And they do a news, a Bollywood news segment, which seems to be the most interesting thing of the whole.
	And it's just extremely, it's just as much like any of this junk that we promote in our country.
	You know, they just show pictures of celebrities you've never heard of.
	And then they name them and they go on and on about how great they are.
	And that's the best you could do?
	Yeah.
	That was top draw.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Yeah, that's really good.
	We do have a Bieber got busted.
	No, no.
	No.
	No Bieber got busted.
	He drives a Fisker.
	I don't care.
	We have people whose time is valuable.
	The new president of Mexico.
	He was interviewed.
	He insists on speaking Spanish in his interview, which is interesting by itself.
	Yeah, since he speaks perfect English.
	He speaks perfect English.
	You know, of course, the State Department, Lucifer Hillary, Clippity-Clop Clinton, along with President Obama, have all congratulated him because he's very important in, I think, the supply chain.
	I haven't congratulated Clinton.
	What?
	How come they didn't congratulate Putin?
	Because he hates us.
	Okay, well that's the reason.
	But we're in business, you see, with Mexico.
	And here's the proof.
	Still, Peña Nieto plans to continue many of his policies.
	He'll use the military to combat cartels.
	He'll increase the number of federal police.
	But he notes this is not just Mexico's problem.
	What role do you think the United States plays in the drug problems confronting your country?
	I think it was a fundamental role.
	I think it plays a fundamental role.
	It's clear the United States is the biggest consumer of illegal drugs.
	This requires action by both governments.
	We're their best customer.
	That's what he's saying.
	We're the biggest consumer.
	Isn't that the same as customer?
	Yeah.
	Customer.
	So this means we've got to keep it up.
	So what he's going to do, because the PRI as well, I mean, they're the oldest of the longest running political party in Mexico.
	They basically run things.
	So when they got booted out six or eight years ago, that's when they cut loose this cartel mess and the 40,000 dead and the murders and all the rest of it.
	We'll scare the crap out of the Mexican public to get these guys back in office.
	And now you watch those death numbers fall like a rock.
	The cartels will consolidate.
	There will be no more...
	You'll be less and less talking about how dangerous Mexico is.
	This will take a couple years.
	Because there's still some guys that won't get the message.
	And the military, of course, has been involved in dealing with the cartels forever.
	But he made a point, as he mentions it again...
	You watch this whole thing kind of die off, and then, of course, it won't change anything.
	There's still going to be as much coke coming in and the rest of it as ever.
	More.
	I think more.
	More, more, more.
	Yeah, probably more.
	That'll be the deal he cuts with the cartels.
	Yes, yes.
	We're going to expand the business.
	Stop the killing.
	Stop the killing.
	Let's make it all look good.
	Everyone's going to look good.
	And, of course, the good news is prices on coke and weed will go down.
	So I think it's a win-win.
	And the banks...
	It's a total win-win.
	Win-win is less deaths and more, you know...
	And the banks will get to launder more money.
	It's a win-win-win.
	Yeah.
	This is a triple...
	I think this is...
	I hate...
	It shouldn't be the way it is, but I see it as very positive.
	Everyone gets their coke.
	Everybody gets their weed.
	The banks get to launder their money.
	No people getting killed.
	What's the problem?
	You know, I've fallen into...
	You should be totally screwed up by legalizing or decriminalizing drugs, and that's why they won't do it.
	Exactly.
	You know, I don't know how it happened, but I got into Breaking Bad.
	Have you ever seen this show?
	Yeah, I saw the first episode, and then I watch it occasionally.
	It's actually a fascinating concept.
	You might want to explain the premise.
	Yeah, so the concept is this guy, Walter White, he's a chemist, and his...
	Former business partners screw him out of some fantastic money and opportunities.
	He started off, wait, the first episode, he started off as a chemistry teacher in high school who got fired.
	Well, but I'm giving the background, okay?
	The background is he's a genius.
	Then he gets fired.
	Well, he gets cancer.
	This is what happens.
	He gets lung cancer, and he has to quit, and he has to find a way to pay for his medical bills, and in addition to that, to provide for his family.
	And so he falls into business with a former student of his who was a total F-WOD, and they start cooking crystal meth together.
	And so what's interesting is that the fifth season of Breaking Bad starts July 15th, and I found seasons one through three are on Netflix.
	And I've been, like, just pigging out.
	By the way, one after another, that's when a series is great.
	It's like boom, boom, boom.
	I'm just watching it until three in the morning sometimes.
	And then I'm like, at the end of season three, I'm like, oh.
	Is there another season?
	I'm hunting around.
	There's nothing on Netflix.
	Ah, season four, which was last year, you've got to pay for that now, you see.
	You've got to pay $1.99 an episode.
	They got you hooked.
	They did.
	It's such interesting.
	I'm hooked on the show about being hooked.
	But it is fantastic.
	And I think it's probably pretty accurate in a lot of aspects about the drug trade, certainly with Mexico, etc.
	But anyway, I just wanted to say it's a great show.
	I love that show.
	Well, I'm glad you liked it.
	Yeah.
	I don't watch anything else.
	There's nothing else on.
	There's a lot of good stuff on TV. Yeah.
	I'm going to show myself all by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	We do have a few people we want to thank for helping us out on show 424.

	But as we speak, his wife is hopefully having her appendix whisked out so she needs some instead.
	Wow.
	He is a boner.
	But they have a one-year-old resource that needs looking after, so I don't think he's a douchebag.
	As he does, propagate the formula when he can.
	I would have made the trip to Amsterdam, but I'll be in the south of France sipping Van Rouge on the veranda.

	However, I would like a plain old shard of karma.
	No complicated jingles needed.
	I also put myself in the 12-12 plan for good measure.

	Scott in 5550.
	Scott, 5555, parts unknown.
	This is Roadwolf, faithful longtime listener from Niagara Falls.
	I guess it's not parts unknown.
	Wishing Mickey and Adam the best.
	If you guys weren't aware, the New York State is now illegal to install CCTV cameras unless you have an $8,000 certificate from the state.
	Yeah, this is a...
	Long email complaining about this process.
	This is crazy.
	So you have to be a certified...
	I guess you have to...
	Also, install the certified cameras, which probably, I don't know, broadcast on a little secondary frequency.

	Let's go for it.
	I love it.

	I'd like to be anonymous.
	Can I get a shot at karma?
	Because I'm sick of living the dream of just getting by.
	Can my karma shot be one for winning the lottery jackpot?
	I hope this doesn't start a trend, but I'm sick of being a pauper and I'd like to join the elites.
	Thank you for your best podcast in the universe.
	Well, let us know how that works out then, okay?
	You've got karma.
	It should probably work out the same whether or whether or not you bet on it or got the karma.

	Yeah.
	Probably.
	It's obviously code.
	It's obviously code.
	Yeah, the goose hung high.
	There it happened again.
	Oh, no!
	The goose hung high.
	Just imagine a guy in a bar coming up to you and go, Hey man, the goose hung high.

	Internet freedom is internet governance.
	Slash NK. It's your birthday, birthday!

	You know, by the way, I recommend people to do this.
	It's not what he just said, but you take one of these duck calls into the theater.
	Especially in a bestseller.
	You go in there and they're showing the previews of all these crappy movies they're going to bring out.
	Just once.
	Pull out the duck call.
	Don't overdo it.
	Don't overdo it.
	I like the slow one better.
	The slow one is better.
	Do the slow one again.
	You would get a huge lap.
	I'm crying.
	Easily amused.
	I'm crying.
	Oh my goodness.
	Anyway...
	Let's talk about Syria.
	So, John, I had this conversation yesterday, and we really tried to not talk about show stuff, except for the shows we were doing.
	We were pre-recording for 425 and 426.
	And I don't remember.
	You just let it slip by.
	You said, this Syria thing is going down, man.
	I don't care what you say.
	It's happening.
	It's going down.
	Like, I disagree.
	It's going down.
	And so, well, actually, this gives us a nice opportunity to play some Clippity Clop here.
	It's Clippity Clop.
	The message is clear.
	Just Clippity Clop.
	Alright, so Lucifer is all over this.
	And of course, everything is riding on this for her.
	It's so obvious.
	This is a big, big, big deal.
	And I think that...
	Really, when you look at it, that if we don't get Syria, and I say we because, of course, it's the coalition of the willing, and it's the friends of Syria, otherwise known as Amis du Peuple Syrien.
	Did you see that when she was in Paris?
	They don't have friends of Syria on the sign.
	It's Amis du Peuple Syrien.
	By the way, she didn't get her hair done.
	Speak straight.
	Hello?
	Sorry about that.
	Interruption from the production staff.
	Is everything okay?
	Well, people wanted to know if there's a donation segment on the next two shows, and we explained it on the next two shows.
	In fact, you just have to listen.
	Yeah, listen to the show.
	Bitches.
	So it's the Ami du Peuple Syrien, which translates to the friend of the people of Syria.
	And Lucifer has a couple messages.
	Here is the first one about the defection of a general who apparently slept in the same tent with Assad.
	I don't know.
	It's like his butt buddy, the way that he is.
	I have to say, he kind of looks a little bicurious.
	We are seeing high-level defections every day.
	Every day!
	There was just one!
	Every day!
	Abandon the dictator, embrace your countrymen and women, and get on the right side of history.
	Ah, get on the right side of history.
	That is one of my favorites.
	Get on the right side of history.
	Yeah, well, you know what?
	I wish I could come back in a hundred years and see what side you landed on, Lucifer.
	And so I figured what we'd do, I took her statement at the Amis du Peuple Serignan.
	And I cut it up.
	It's still a couple minutes.
	But it's important that we deconstruct what she is saying here.
	Because I noticed that in the media, I'm sorry, that thing that's called news everywhere else, they only were taking little snippets and snippets.
	Just little bits and bobs.
	And not like the real important good stuff.
	So I'd like us to go through here and just translate what Lucifer Hillary Clinton is saying at this divvying up, this pre-meeting of who's going to get what, because that's what's taking place here, as we've discussed in previous episodes.
	They've already, you know, you get this, you get that.
	And of course the Russians and Chinese are not being very helpful in all of this.
	Call for the release from detention.
	So it would be very helpful to get everybody on the same page.
	Ah, this is a great American expression, isn't it?
	Get them on the same page, which would, of course, be Chapter 7 Resolution of the United Nations.
	If we're going to work together about what we have already done and what we need to be doing as we move forward.
	Under the Geneva Communique, the opposition is for the first time put on an even basis with the government.
	This is very interesting, because we didn't get a copy of the Geneva Communique.
	The opposition, and by the way, who is the opposition?
	The only opposition I've seen is a couple of dudes who are called Syrian National Council and live in Paris.
	They have already been recognized by the international community of douches as on equal footing with a sovereign president of a sovereign country.
	This is what she's saying.
	They just sat down and said...
	She has her nerve.
	Hold on a second.
	We're just going to...
	Here you go, here.
	They are given equal power in constituting the transition governing entity that will have, as we just heard, full executive authority.
	That's just what Goebbels once said, I think.
	How does that work?
	She just went up there and said, I am Hillary Clippity Clop Lucifer Clinton.
	I give you, by the power vested in me, by the great Satan, power!
	Power I give you!
	That's about it.
	Here's your power!
	Yeah.
	Could not have been imagined three months ago, let alone a year ago.
	Until I threatened you.
	And I threatened all of you, and that is why now it can be imagined.
	We also think it is imperative to go back to the Security Council and demand implementation of Kofi Annan's plan, including the Geneva communique that Russia and China have already agreed to.
	This is the setup.
	Here's the wind-up for the pitch, everybody, because they already agreed to it in the communique from Geneva!
	So we now have them on record supporting a transition.
	And there it is!
	It's looking like it's going right over the plate!
	And we should go back and ask for a resolution in the Security Council that imposes real and immediate consequences for non-compliance, including sanctions under Chapter 7.
	And look at that!
	Wow!
	Chapter 7, Charter of the United Nations.
	Only a week ago we were at Chapter 5.
	We jumped right over to Chapter 6 to go to Article 41 of Chapter 7 of the United Nations Charter.
	The Security Council may decide what measures not involving the use of armed force are to be employed to give effect to its decisions and may call upon the members of the United Nations to apply such measures.
	These may include complete or partial interruption of economic relations and And of rail, sea, air, postal, telegraph, radio, and other means of communication and the severance of diplomatic relations.
	Followed by Article 42.
	Should the Security Council consider the measures provided for in Article 41 would be inadequate or have proved to be inadequate, it may take such action by air, sea, or land forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security.
	Such action may include demonstrations, blockade, and other operations by air, sea, or land forces of members of the United Nations.
	Incoming MOFO! Now what can every nation and group represented here do?
	I ask you to reach out to Russia and China and to not only urge but demand that they get off the sidelines and begin to support the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people.
	Legitimate!
	Please!
	Get off the sidelines!
	Get off the crapper, you two!
	Legitimate, I tell you!
	It is frankly not enough just to come to the friends of the Syrian people.
	No, you can't just come to the meeting.
	Because I will tell you very frankly, I don't think Russia and China believe they are paying any price at all.
	Ooh, hold on.
	Let's back that up for a second.
	Key words here.
	Oh, what is she saying?
	Price at all.
	Sorry.
	Just to come to the friends of the Syrian people because I will tell you very frankly, I don't think Russia and China believe they are paying any price at all.
	They're not paying their fair share.
	Nothing at all for standing up on behalf of the Assad regime.
	The only way that will change is if every nation represented here directly and urgently makes it clear that Russia and China will pay a price.
	Hey, Brussels, go over there and go kick Russia in the shins.
	What kind of threat is this?
	Hey, Netherlands, why don't you go spit in China's eyes, see what happens.
	Because they are holding up progress, blockading it, that is no longer tolerable.
	And let me also add that confronted with the regime's noncompliance, it is difficult to imagine how the UN supervision mission can fulfill its responsibilities without a Chapter 7 enforcement mechanism.
	Chapter 7.
	I think General Mood...
	Just to reassert, we're almost done.
	Without a Chapter 7 enforcement mechanism, that equals drones.
	Drone strikes.
	No fly zone.
	There'll be no fly zone.
	The drones are already there.
	No, man, drones strike.
	Strike.
	Mood and his team have performed an extraordinary task, but it is clear unarmed observers cannot monitor a ceasefire that does not exist.
	Next, what can you all do?
	Oh, pay attention.
	You can tighten the financial vice, squeezing the regime.
	Squeeze their heads.
	Squeeze.
	Squeeze with a vice-like grip.
	Squeeze them.
	The second meeting of the sanctions working group in Washington last month called for all states to take additional steps to freeze the assets of regime officials, restrict transactions with the commercial and central banks, I.e.
	steal their money.
	And embargo Syrian oil.
	Since then, Switzerland, the European Union, Japan, and Australia have all announced additional measures.
	And the regime is becoming more isolated, which will help to hasten its end because its business support will finally turn on it.
	Syria's currency and foreign reserves have collapsed.
	Sanctions on oil alone have deprived Assad of billions of dollars in lost revenues, and his ability to finance his war grows more difficult by the day.
	What's keeping him afloat is money from Iran.
	Now listen very carefully, because this throws back to the WikiLeaks.
	And assistance from Russia and the failure of countries represented here to tighten and enforce sanctions.
	The only thing that's missing is her actually saying, as you saw from the CIA WikiLeaks we released, you are selling radios.
	You're selling radios to them people.
	You're represented here.
	This has to stop.
	So anyway, long story short, you're right.
	They're going down.
	There's no doubt about it.
	And I wish I had audio from the new thing she said because she has all these great words like this new one which apparently she said today in Japan.
	She said, this should be a wake-up call for everyone and the sand is running out of the hourglass.
	Well, this is another money grab, too.
	In fact, I think the proof of the pudding on the money grab is in the Rubenfeld blog post in Corruption Currents, which is in the Wall Street Journal, where they talk about the 55 countries.
	Let me just read this.
	Fifty-five countries participated in the Washington, D.C. hosted event, which was the second meeting of the Friends of the Syrian People International Working Group.
	The inaugural meeting was held in Paris in February, and the next meeting was in Doha.
	Those nations that have not yet adopted formal sanctions, we urge you to do so, said U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner at the top of the meeting.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	What the hell's he got to do with Syria?
	He maintains the list.
	He maintains the list of money we freeze and block, i.e.
	steal.
	Yeah.
	We need the dough.
	The Chapter 7 resolution authorizes action that enables the use of military force, but Geithner called only for appropriate economic actions.
	Well, that's step one.
	That's Article 41, Article 42.
	Yeah, obviously.
	It's a phase.
	Yeah.
	It's just a stepping stone.
	I mean, if Assad was smart, he'd have cut a deal early on saying, look, I'm screwed.
	These guys are unfortunately very egomaniacal, these Middle Eastern leaders, and they think they can get away with, you know, he's a big gangster.
	We're the big gangster.
	He's a podiatrist, man.
	He's not a gangster.
	Well, he's definitely not much of one.
	And in the olden days, with his old man, they used to be gangsters, and they used to be the ones behind most...
	They were probably behind that Pan Am flight.
	A lot of people believe that.
	And besides, you know, the CIA connection, they used to be known as gangsters, and Syria did.
	And now...
	Unlike our gangsters?
	Unlike our government is not gangsters?
	No, no, I know.
	Unlike the Chinese?
	Their gangster was actually pushing our gangsters around, and now the shoe's on the other foot.
	They're toast.
	Yeah, but I think he really loves his country.
	I'm sure he does, but he better find some way out, or he's going to end up with his head on a stick, like the rest of these guys.
	Do you know that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie visited with them?
	With Assad?
	Yeah.
	Oh.
	Oh, yeah.
	Did they have tea?
	They drove around.
	He actually drove them around Damascus.
	And the reports that I read on this is that Brad Pitt was really worried.
	He's like, well, don't you need security?
	He says, no, people here love me.
	I don't have to worry about it.
	They're not going to kill me.
	And Pitt was really worried.
	Yeah, and then she was also...
	Can't drive around the U.S. president like that.
	No.
	Let me see when that was.
	Assad.
	That was when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie met the Assads.
	And there's Angelina kissing his wife.
	That is a smoking hot picture, by the way.
	Shwo.
	Shwo.
	Hey, Google that.
	You sound like Brushwood.
	Google that.
	Google that.
	Oh, I see it.
	That is...
	Look at her.
	It's a lip kiss.
	Oh my god.
	I have to say...
	Angelina Jolie with asthma.
	I'm mildly excited from looking at that picture.
	She's biting her lower lip and pulling on it.
	Yeah.
	And when was this?
	Let me just see what the date was.
	How long ago?
	2009.
	Yeah, I guess we were all cool.
	That's when she was also featured in Vogue magazine.
	His wife.
	She was awesome.
	All was good.
	But then they removed it from their website, the whole Vogue story.
	Vogue did.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, because they're like, well, this is not politically correct anymore.
	Really?
	From Vogue.
	This is Vogue magazine.
	My husband was driving us all to lunch, relates Asma.
	And out of the corner of my eye, I could see Brad Pitt was fidgeting.
	I turned around and asked, is there anything wrong?
	Where's your security?
	asked Pitt.
	So I started teasing him.
	See that old woman on the street?
	That's one of them.
	And that old guy crossing the road?
	That's the other one.
	The president joins in the punchline.
	Brad Pitt wanted to send his security guards here to come and get some training.
	Yeah, he just drove him to lunch himself.
	Yes, well...
	And after that, clearly Angelina nailed her.
	My goodness, that's a sexy-ass kiss right there.
	Put that on CNN. They don't put anything on CNN. And by the way, again, I renounce Dr.
	Drew Pinsky.
	Where's his resignation?
	Where's his resignation?
	I want him to go on the air, and he can at least apologize for being a douchebag.
	Until that, I remain vigilant.
	Chill.
	Yeah, I agree with you.
	Bad news.
	TSA is on to a new trip.
	You probably read about this.
	A lot of people emailed about it.
	Two things are happening.
	One, according to the Lou Rockwell blog, they now have a new thing where they tell you on the other side of security, so when you're on the air side, as it were, they do this new drill where they say, freeze, freeze, freeze!
	And you're supposed to freeze?
	Oh, yeah, but this is not that new.
	I think it's been over a year they've been doing that.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	I think we even talked about it once.
	I don't remember.
	Okay.
	But if they do that, I'm not freezing.
	I'm just saying you're not a law enforcement officer.
	You may have a phony-ass badge, but you're not a lawyer.
	I'm not going to freeze for you.
	You get a police officer over here.
	I'll think about it.
	I'm not going to freeze for you.
	I'm not your bitch.
	Oh man, I'm getting worked up.
	We're getting on flights tomorrow.
	Yeah, you're getting in the mood.
	Here's the new one.
	The old Austin Airport, which was on the complete other side of town, which I used to fly into all the time, was a cozy little airport.
	It was very nice and it did fine with the traffic it had.
	No.
	They had to tear it down and build another airport on the complete opposite side of town, which I thought they would keep it on the same side of town.
	So the first time I flew into the new airport, I'm driving in the wrong direction.
	I can't find my way around.
	It was pointless.
	But now all these new airports, they're horrible places.
	I'm sorry.
	It's a nice airport.
	I kind of like it, I have to say.
	Have you ever had this?
	Oh, this is great.
	I like our airport.
	Hello, we've got Formula One coming here, man.
	We need a big airport, so this is good.
	Hey, you know what?
	Don't mess with Texas and certainly not Austin, my friend.
	Be careful what you say.
	Yeah, well, this woman is quite pretty.
	Asma.
	I actually just put the link of them kissing in the show notes.
	It's so smokin'.
	Isn't it?
	Yeah, well, I know, but she's actually quite a beauty.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, here's what the TSA is doing in Colorado, which will be rolling out across the country, coming to your town soon.
	Security is spreading into the gates.
	Travelers say the TSA is testing drinks they buy inside the airport.
	But not everyone thinks that what security officers, that's what security officers should worry about.
	KJC2 News' Nail Erickson got reaction from passengers today and joins us now live.
	Nail?
	Megan, passengers say their problem isn't with the rules at the airport.
	They understand why drinks aren't allowed through security.
	But when they buy one while they're waiting for their flight, they say TSA shouldn't ask to test it.
	Passengers say traveling is a big enough stress.
	But now some are worried the drinks they're getting aren't safe.
	The TSA won't say what they're testing for or why they're doing it.
	But travelers say they have a right to know.
	Well, you know, I'm always glad that my safety is a priority.
	I think testing drinks after they've already been bought might be a little extreme.
	The water or the juices or anything you buy here in the airport, the TSA is going to come over and look and check and test it.
	I mean, it's just ridiculous.
	We asked the TSA about the drink testing and this is what they said.
	TSA employees have many layers of security throughout airports.
	Passengers may be randomly selected for additional screening measures at the checkpoint or at the gate at any time.
	Passengers we spoke to today also say they think the price of drinks are too expensive.
	And if security is going to test them, it should be before their purchase so they don't waste their money.
	This is unbelievable.
	And, yeah, many layers of security, ladies and gentlemen, work.
	Yeah.
	Hey, how many people we got working here?
	They're going to come in and do a salary survey.
	We got to find something else to do to justify the bullcrap jobs we have.
	Hey, you sound just like one of them.
	Yeah, this is also conditioning, obviously.
	To get you conditioned to...
	Oh yeah, so you'd be like, this is...
	Total.
	We chat about this at the house every so often, amongst ourselves, which is, what was it like to be a citizen in the 1930s in fascist Germany?
	Was it similar to all the police?
	I mean, were there as many police?
	You see, you can't go out of the house in California.
	I can't.
	If I drive to San Francisco, I will see a minimum of three policemen on the way and probably two to three on the way.
	Six.
	See six cops.
	And if you just drive to the store, you'll see one or two.
	You are seeing police constantly.
	I've been in South Africa.
	Took the family to South Africa.
	We saw no police ever.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Let me see your drink, Dvorak!
	Hey, Jason!
	Give me that bottle!
	So I've been receiving so many emails from people, usually with the subject line, false flag.
	You don't send that to me.
	No.
	And everyone thinks there's going to be a false flag at the Olympics.
	And of course we did see this as one of the scenarios of the Rockefeller Foundation.
	But I think something else is going on.
	Here's just the headline.
	Seven arrested in British anti-terrorism raids.
	These...
	The story says seven men have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offenses after weapons were found in a vehicle stopped on a motorway.
	Then we have Al-Qaeda terror suspect caught at Olympic Park five times breaking a ban imposed by the home secretary.
	He wasn't allowed to go there.
	He was a suspected Somali Islamist militant.
	Another great combination of words.
	But here's the one...
	That really got to me.
	And I don't think this is about a false flag.
	I think...
	Well, I'll tell you what I think after I... This is from The Guardian.
	And they don't list a source.
	Not even like unnamed or anything.
	The whole article is just presented as fact.
	Security guards working for Serco, the private contractor drafted in to protect Britain's borders during the Olympics, have been at the center of a series of security breaches that have allowed vehicles to enter the UK without screening for dirty bombs.
	Concerns about queues and job cuts at the UK border agency forced the Home Office to bring in private guards to man radars designed to detect radiation at major ports.
	That sounds bogative right there.
	But Serco staff who took on the role, once occupied by public sector officials in mid-May, have been at the center of security scares.
	It is understood that the Border Force is looking into the failure of a Serco guard to alert engineers when a security screening system went down at Dover Ferry Port, allowing vehicles to enter unchecked for radiation, which they apparently do with radar.
	Serco staff have been repeatedly reported to managers for failing to correctly use equipment that checks for signs of radiation underneath cars and lorries.
	Border Force officials admit that this is because staff had, quote, been provided with training some time ago.
	They've become unfamiliar or not previously had hands-on experience.
	And finally, some of the 300 Circo staff, quote, left areas unmanned despite the heightened security threat facing the country weeks before the 2012 Games.
	Circo staff have also missed alarms that were expected to prompt secondary searches of vehicles, the Observer understands.
	Oh, it's the Observer, sorry.
	Although it is understood that such misses also happened before the private contractor, whose turnover last year exceeded four billion pounds, became involved.
	I thought it was the Guardian.
	Yeah, it is the Guardian.
	Yeah, it's the Guardian.
	Isn't the Guardian quoting from the Observer?
	No, no, it's the Guardian Observer.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah.
	So, Dirty Bombs.
	So I think that this is not setting us up for a false flag.
	This is setting you up for all these forces and troops that are in London, they're not leaving.
	This is it.
	Get used to it.
	I like that.
	I like that idea.
	That's it.
	I mean, they're bringing it in under the guise of, we need it for the Olympics, and they're just not going to leave.
	It's just going to be that way.
	That's your life now.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	Yeah, right?
	I like it.
	Yeah, since we don't live there.
	Yeah, since you don't live there, it's fun to watch.
	It's awesome.
	You know what they're doing at the Olympics, another thing they're doing?
	And this is just amazing to me, these guys can get away with this.
	You cannot now, when the Olympics begin, you cannot go into the stadium as a, not a participant, but as a viewer, wearing any logo to wear at all.
	Yeah, I know, I know, you can't wear any logos.
	How awesome is that?
	What's that logo, slave?
	Hey, sect of four, sect of four.
	We have a slave with a logo. Logo, logo, logo.
	That's the way it's going to go.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, you can wear official Olympic logos that you bought from them, but you cannot wear Adidas or Nike or some designer brand, Chanel.
	I mean, you can't have any logos on your person.
	Unless they're an official sponsor.
	Yeah.
	Let me just see.
	Is that on the ticket or something?
	I don't know.
	This is a scandal.
	I don't know why anybody...
	Let me say this to all UK listeners.
	Do not go to this event.
	Watch it on television if you have to see it.
	Yeah.
	Let me just see.
	Guidelines regarding authorized identifications...
	Branding police.
	Here we go.
	Let's see what the official word is.
	This is also from The Guardian, who seem to be the guys to give you all the information.
	Fans in the crowd won't be allowed to upload snippets of the day's action to YouTube or even potentially to post their snaps from inside the Olympic Village on Facebook.
	A crack team of branding police.
	The Games Organizers, Low Cog, have acknowledged will be checking every bathroom in every public venue with the power to remove or tape over manufacturers' logos even on soap dispensers, wash basins, and toilets.
	Ha ha!
	Hey, what's that toilet say?
	Hey, if you're going to the games, put your No Agenda stickers everywhere, will you?
	No Agenda stickers, please.
	Get No Agenda stickers.
	Go to NoAgendaStickers.com.
	I think that site's still up.
	Put it in the toilet.
	Put it in the urinal, as they say in the UK. Let's see.
	Oh, in 2006, accordingly, Parliament passed the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act, which together with the Olympic Symbol Protection Act of 1995, wow, I'm living in a movie, offers a special level of protection to the Games.
	And they're sponsors over and above that already promised by existing copyright or contract law.
	A breach of these acts will not only give rise to a civil grievance, but it is a criminal offense.
	Ah!
	In fact, here is a commercial.
	Imagine your city with no crime.
	Where a policeman's life is never at risk.
	Thanks to Omnicorp, you can protect your city with our full line of products.
	The XT-908 aerial drones.

	The RC-2000, the next generation of defensive products.
	We've got the future under control.

	Go to www.omnicorp.com for more information.
	Yes.
	Curry DeVry Consulting Group worked on that, as you can tell, from the Human Resources line in the commercial.
	Good job.
	I'm very proud of that spot.
	Good work.
	Good work.
	Wow.
	Well, okay.
	Then, I only have two things left.
	Well, before we get to your last two things, we should at least get to one more Manning out of the way before we get to the finale.
	Okay.
	We're at part three here.
	This is about Romney?
	Is that the...
	Yes, Romney thinks he's an idiot.
	Now, what's the solution?
	Well, first of all, we need to understand this.
	That Mitt Romney is perhaps...
	And this is so pathetic...
	Mitt Romney is perhaps the worst possible candidate.
	Mitt Romney is the worst possible...
	What is wrong with you people?
	What's wrong with you?
	Well, Manning, you don't have the statue to tell us what to do.
	You know, you're just a little preacher over there at a church over there in Harlem, and we like you.
	We think you're amusing when you talk about black people.
	We like what you say about them.
	But when you start talking about white people, you're automatically wrong.
	And so, I mean, we love to hear you talk about black people.
	We love to hear you say that they ain't got no honor.
	We love to hear you talk about how barbaric they act and all of that and how they are racist.
	And we love that.
	But now when you talk about, you only give me credit when I talk about black folk.
	And I'm right.
	And you're right for giving me credit.
	Because God knows when I speak about them, I'm right.
	But I'm right when I talk about white folk as well.
	They just have right.
	This truth is universal.
	Fox News is a sellout.
	Yeah.
	The biggest mistake we made in this whole matter with Obama is trusting Fox News and they were laughing all the way to the bank.
	The Tea Party!
	The cult brother!
	You're foolish!
	And now Mitt Romney against Obama?
	Here's a person.
	Anyway, Obama will win.
	There's no doubt about that.
	and he'll be president forever.
	He's great.
	You know, he's doing a lot of deconstruction that we do, only he adds a certain flavor.
	He adds a little more flair than we have available to us.
	He's got a little flair going on there.
	Wow.
	Yeah, that's pretty good.
	Resident forever.
	So, as you know, Ms.
	Mickey and I are heading off.
	Tomorrow we're flying to Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
	This is our wedding week, mainly family and a couple of friends.
	And it's going to be great.
	Very excited about it all.
	Haven't been to Gitmo Lowlands in quite a while.
	And, you know, of course, whenever you go to Amsterdam, there's always two things that you can count on.
	And what are those, Adam?
	Well, I guess this is an Ask John.
	What are the two things Amsterdam is most known for?
	Hookers and marijuana shops.
	That's correct.
	Let me give you a little thing.
	Very good.
	How's it going with those marijuana shops?
	I think they've shut all of them down.
	Yes, indeed.
	They've shut them down.
	You have to have the weed pass.
	In fact, I don't smoke anymore, but if I were a smoker...
	Going to Amsterdam, I would normally be like, hey, man, I can't wait to blaze up some Jack Harrier, some White Widow, and get totally baked.
	No, no, no, Mr.
	Curry, you no longer have a weed pass.
	You can't buy weed.
	It's okay because the job market is doing great.
	We've got 11-year-old kids now riding around on bikes selling the weed to people who don't have a weed pass.
	So in all, it's kind of good.
	We've got some underground activity going on.
	Now, let's say I was going to do my own bachelor party, not doing it with my future wife.
	You know, I might have a couple of buddies of mine who might go out and we might go to see some hookers.
	Because, you know, it's legal in Amsterdam.
	You just go out and just have a good time and party, and I've had this for quite a while.
	Well, guess what?
	That is ending.
	And I've been saying this for a while, and of course a lot of the hooker clientele and as well as the weed shops come from the UK. You get money in the nation east, you hop on the easy jet, you go over for a weekend, you get baked, you get laid, you go back, you're happy, we're happy, we got your money here in Afghanistan, thank you.
	Perfect system.
	Works out great.
	Everyone's happy.
	It's a win-win-win-win.
	Exactly.
	So this douchebag, Lodevac Usher, Who I have met several times.
	He's a young guy.
	He is the deputy mayor.
	He has been systematically ruining Amsterdam.
	And here's his latest as reported by the BBC with a completely over-dramatized report.
	Amsterdam's reputation as a place to come and relax and recharge began around the 16th century when sailors would come and dock here at the harbour, then make the short walk up to the red light districts to find a woman.
	Prostitution was legalized here a decade ago.
	It was a move designed to bring the business above ground.
	Actually, it attracted more criminality, and this place became a hub.
	Okay, I've got to stop right there.
	That is a total lie.
	There's absolutely no evidence that the legalization of prostitution in Amsterdam actually created more criminal activity.
	It would lessen it.
	It's bull crap.
	It's an out-and-out lie.
	For human trafficking...
	This place, next week, there will be a bookshop.
	This is part of the plan to try to undo some of that damage.
	Damage?
	Over here, there was also a red light district, and now you see a red light radio.
	It's a radio studio.
	I have no words!
	So we are gradually changing the area.
	Good night.
	What we actually are doing...
	This is the douchebag.
	...is recover and reclaim and revitalize the heart of the city.
	There will still be prostitution in the area, but then under government control.
	Under government control?
	They paid taxes!
	What are you talking about?
	Which is a much better situation for the women working there.
	The council offers the creative industries massive subsidies on rent, so if they like what you're selling, you can get a prime piece of real estate for a fraction of the price.
	So here's what they're doing.
	They're taking these buildings, they're taking them over, and they're practically giving them away rent-wise to shops that sell, you know, homemade frickin' sneakers.
	They're literally showing like a yellow and purple sneaker because it's all the hip, cool, young fashion designers with bullcrap clothing you'd never want to be caught dead in in the first place.
	It's subsidizing EDM.
	I love the Amsterdam fashion.
	These designers get out of Amsterdam or on the...
	She's got like piercings and her hair's all crazy and she's selling sneakers.
	Victimized because of the project.
	People who are working here right now, we try to help them to step out and find another profession and help them to...
	They have to find another...
	We're going to help them find another profession.
	Hey, hooker, making a thousand a night?
	Why don't you make some stupid sneakers?
	A new future.
	We want to stop being the place where everybody in Europe can traffic their women to.
	We don't think that's part of what Amsterdam wants to be or has to be in the future.
	Yeah, alright, so...
	What is wrong with the Dutch?
	Douchebag!
	They've been taken over.
	They've been co-opted by the United States of Europe.
	That's what's wrong with the Dutch.
	They have to harmonize.
	Because we can't have one place that's benefiting from an excellent product.
	Not just one, but two excellent products.
	It's the war on hookers, the war on weed.
	It's over.
	It's done.
	What are we going to do now?
	Sit in the freaking canal boat?
	Oh, that's a nice building.
	Oh, look, the Anne Frank House.
	Oh, the Van Gogh Museum.
	Anne Frank House.
	I want to get my schwung shots.
	I refuse to go to that, by the way.
	It's small.
	That was a bad joke.
	It's destruction of a culture that has existed since the 1600s.
	The hookers pay taxes, have health checkups.
	It's not like they're in front of the window.
	You're not going to get robbed, beaten up.
	Marriages work better for people that have fantasies and stuff.
	And now that's going to be driven underground as well.
	So the same 11-year-old kid who's selling you your weed is going to hook you up with a hooker.
	It's an 11-year-old pimp.
	That's right.
	That's what they're creating.
	Yeah, 11-year-old pimps.
	Yeah.
	It is so wrong, so misguided.
	And shame on the Dutch people.
	And I'm not talking about the no agenda producers, because they're well aware.
	Yeah, they're obviously on the ball.
	Yeah.
	But shame, shame on you for allowing this to happen.
	I mean, of all the things.
	What else are we going to go to?
	Great job of propaganda work.
	I mean, to get the public to buy into all this crap after the years and years of a cultural bias in the other direction is astonishing.
	It's upsetting to me.
	They think for themselves a little bit, but even, I mean, we know what the problem is in the United States with the miserable education system and the moronic entertainment-based news.
	And by the way, the news over there seems to have a lot of this entertainment crap, too.
	The party who I'm talking to is part of one of the targets, as a matter of fact.
	And you will probably have a few paparazzi take your picture because of your relationship with Patricia.
	It's still in the news.
	This is really important.
	Yeah, that's going to be the real news.
	I'm going to record that.
	They're going to go, air deal news.
	And then it will be a headline.
	How sad is that?
	A 50-year-old guy getting married for the second time.
	That's your headline news, ladies and gentlemen.
	Don't pay attention to anything else, like the $40 billion of your tax money going to banks or the ESM. Another happy no to show.
	No, no, no, no.
	There's more happy news, actually.
	The kill list has been updated.
	Killlist.curry.com.
	Oh, the kill list, yes.
	Yeah.
	U.S. drones killed 24.
	One day after...
	We're cranking it up.
	We needed somebody who can do good charting.
	One day after the resumption of NATO supplies.
	So, you remember, we said, we're both sorry, kind of something like that.
	Supply lines were opened, 24 persons were killed, and some others were injured in one of the deadliest attacks carried out by the CIA-operated U.S. spy planes in Gorwick Village.
	Where is that, John?
	Where do you think Gorwick Village is?
	I would guess it's near some pipeline.
	Yeah, that would be Waziristan once again, the hotbed of terrorist activity, which of course is exactly where the pipeline is.
	And, well, I'm not going to play it today, but props to the BBC for propagating the formula of pilotless airplanes.
	That's all over the place now, as predicted.
	There's real, actual PR. Actual PR now.
	What are we doing?
	We should look into it, see which agency.
	What do you mean?
	Which ad agency?
	Which PR agencies?
	I don't know.
	And ad agency, or...
	And Leon Panetta, now he runs the, what does he run now?
	He's the Defense Department.
	Defense guy.
	He was at the Institute of Peace.
	Oh, the Great Institute of Peace.
	I'm sorry, the Peace Institute, I should say.
	Now, we know Internet freedom is Internet governance, so Peace Institute, let's listen to 20 seconds of what he had to say.
	We will also continue to invest in In the capabilities of the future.
	Yes, we obviously have to meet our responsibility with regards to reducing the deficit burden.
	But at the same time, we also need to invest.
	Invest in cyber.
	Invest in unmanned systems.
	Invest in space.
	Invest in special forces operations.
	And the ability...
	To quickly mobilize in the event of crisis.
	And also, the importance of maintaining our industrial base.
	May peace be with you.
	Go in peace.
	Go in peace.
	The Peace Institute.
	That's great.
	New York Times, by the way, has a great article.
	I'm surprised you didn't bring it up, John.
	The article is titled The Drone Zone, which, by the way, could have been a No Agenda show title.
	The Drone Zone.
	It still can be.
	And I've got to read this.
	So this reporter goes to Nevada and gets a tour and, you know, actually there's a couple of reporters.
	When I visited the base earlier this year with a small group of reporters, we were taken into a command post where a large flat screen television was broadcasting a video feed from a drone flying overhead.
	It took a few seconds to figure out exactly what we were looking at.
	A white SUV traveling along a highway adjacent to the base came into the crosshairs in the center of the screen and was tracked as it headed south along the desert road.
	When the SUV drove out of the picture, the drone began following another car.
	Quote, Wait!
	You guys practice tracking enemies by using civilian cars?
	A reporter asked.
	One Air Force officer responded that this was only a training mission, and then the group was quickly hustled out of the room.
	Oh, man.
	How about that, huh?
	Bye.
	Yeah, yeah, and if one of those cars blows up, it'll be because of some gas tank malfunction.
	It's just a training mission.
	We have you in our crosshairs, but don't worry.
	It's just a training mission.
	It's nothing to see here.
	Let me play that.
	Don't look over here.
	Nothing to see here.
	Ooh, look at that.
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Yeah, thank you.
	Final one on vaccines, and then I'm done.
	So the three stories, three stories all the same from different parts of the world today about the exact same issue.
	And I always find that highly interesting.
	Of course, this is because of NoAgendaNewsNetwork.com that I'm able to get an overview of all of these different stories.
	And it's about the whooping cough, pertussis.
	Houston Chronicle.
	Middle schoolers required to get Pertussis vaccine.
	Students ages 11 and older entering the 6th grade in Alabama schools this fall will have to get vaccinated against Pertussis.
	Guaranteed.
	Take your shot, slave.
	Stand over and take your Pertussis shot, slave.
	The Alabama Department of Public Health says there's an alarming increase in the infection which affects the lungs and spreads throughout coughing and sneezing.
	The illness is highly contagious.
	Okay, so they're forced.
	Forced vaccinations.
	Then I see the Netherlands.
	Oh my gosh.
	Kinkhoost.
	Which is whooping cough.
	Kinkhoost.
	Say it with me now.
	Kinkhoost.
	Kink hoost.
	Kink hoost.
	There you go.
	Perfect.
	Kink hoost.
	Kink hoost.
	Even though 95% of all children in the Netherlands have been vaccinated against the disease, it seems we have an epidemic on our hands.
	How is this possible?
	What are we going to do?
	It's not possible.
	Yes, it's possible.
	And then we have the report from the BBC. Wow!
	The bacterium that causes whooping cough.
	It's whooping cough in the UK, right?
	It's whooping cough.
	Whooping cough?
	No, whooping.
	Whooping.
	Whooping.
	There's only basketball players get this.
	Whooping cough.
	So known as pertussis.
	Forgotten, but not gone.
	Now, let's show a baby almost dying, please.
	Ah!
	And that's the distinctive sound which gives the disease its name.
	As this baby struggles for breath, it's what parents should look out for.
	Katie Lodge got whooping cough at nine weeks just before her first vaccination.
	She got progressively weaker and ended up on oxygen in hospital.
	She'd start coughing, it would get worse and worse, and it would get to a point where she couldn't catch her breath, she'd go blue.
	Now, looking back on it, it was really quite scary.
	Before we continue, John, I'll let you guess where this is leading.
	What do you think this is leading up to?
	The chat room already has it.
	What do you think it's up to?
	Well, it's leading to some sort of either new vaccine or some take the shots early, or I don't know.
	There's two things.
	One will be apparent, the second one not so.
	No one's certain why cases are surging, although improved testing may be picking up more.
	Stop right there.
	Did you hear it?
	Testing.
	So this is the scam that continues.
	Improved testing.
	Once again, we have a new system for testing for whooping cough.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	So this little kid, just before he's supposed to get shots, or he or she, or whatever it was, she, I guess, was supposed to get shots, gets the whooping cough, probably from the hospital, or who knows.
	And what's testing going to do one way or the other?
	She didn't get the damn shot in time.
	So what does testing do?
	What has the new testing got to do with anything?
	Are you trying to put logic on the story?
	Because there's obviously none other than to sell something, but I want to point out...
	That's the first thing I'd ask if I was being told this, and then I was doing a report on it, and they said, well, we're going to have new testing.
	I would say, well, how would that have helped this key?
	She didn't get her vaccination.
	She's got whooping cough.
	What's the testing going to do?
	She doesn't have whooping cough before she caught it.
	So what difference does it make if you tested her?
	Now she's got it.
	Can you test her now?
	Or do you need to test her?
	Or is it just a waste of money?
	Because she's obviously got it.
	It makes no sense.
	Congratulations.
	You are now the chief editor of BBC News.
	So far this year across the UK, there have been 2,398 cases of whooping cough, compared with just 272 in the same period last year.
	Most are in adolescents and adults where the illness is less severe, but the bug is circulating and babies are most vulnerable before immunisation, which happens at 2, 3 and 4 months, plus a preschool booster.
	Oh!
	Immunisation experts are considering whether to recommend a booster jab in adolescents as immunity wanes.
	Paediatricians agree a new strategy is needed.
	Giving boosters to adolescents is one thing that might help.
	There are other things too that we could do and that are being looked into.
	They include immunising parents who've got newborn babies, immunising mothers when they're pregnant, immunising healthcare workers and so on.
	Your freaking dog!
	Immunize the dog!
	Hey, there's a beetle.
	Immunize the beetle.
	He may be carrying the protestant virus.
	They are pushing this so heavy.
	And of course, you get the bug from the frickin' vaccine in the first place.
	But the testing, that's bothersome.
	Because they pull this testing scam every single time.
	It gives a high rate of false positives.
	What are they going to be testing for?
	Look, I'm just laying out the scam.
	I'm not saying that it makes sense.
	It's the scam.
	It's insanity.
	It's just money-making, scummy crap.
	We've got it.
	Oh, healthcare workers, parents, the butcher.
	Because you may be.
	You may have the virus.
	You may have the virus.
	We've got to test you.
	See if you have the virus.
	You have the virus.
	We have to test you.
	I'm done.
	And let me just remind you, the reason why you listen to the No Agenda podcast.
	If you wake up with the blues, trying to fill your day with news, there's one thing you must remember, no agenda in the morning.
	For a healthy, balanced news diet, try NoAgendaShow.com.
	Now, with Pertussis.
	And before we finish, we're not going to do this as an end of the show.
	We're going to do it right now, which is Reverend Manning and a very interesting, let's say, prediction.
	He has not made history.
	And being the first black African-American president.
	Because whether you think this is boasting or not, or whether you think I'm gloating, or whether you think I done got outside of my position of authority, but I have made sure that the history books will not record Obama as the first black president.
	I done tore that thing up.
	I done tore that one up!
	I done tore it up!
	Nobody's saying he was the first black president.
	And that little twit called Toni Morrison and that old witch So we
	got rid of that.
	But he made history today.
	Yeah.
	He made history far greater than being the first black president.
	Because nobody don't care about black people.
	No way.
	And by the way, black people will be on the boat going to Africa by 2014.
	And Alan West and Marco Rubio are the ones who have made it possible.
	They will be on the boat going by 2014.
	Black people will be going back to Africa.
	Oh, it's going to look like a great excursion.
	It's going to look like a great movement.
	Two years from now, when the health care bill really kicks in, and two years from now, when Obama has then taken mass control of the world, and the Islamic world is now dominating, and the economy is in the tank, and two years from now, the world is going to be so different, getting on a boat going back to Africa, black folks are going to seem like a good idea!
	This place is going to seem like a really good idea.
	And there are going to be billions of dollars poured into the idea.
	All kinds of resettlement monies are going to be allocated.
	And all the black politicians are going to say this is a good idea.
	And the cities are crumbling and all that kind of a thing.
	Oh yeah, but you're going back to Africa.
	You're going back to Africa!
	You're worthless!
	Nobody needs you now!
	We got the DREAM Act, we got Mexicans who pick tomatoes, and they clean toilets, and nobody needs these self-loathing welfare cheats called black people anymore!
	You're going back to Africa!
	And Obama's going to be the one to send you there.
	I thought we were depressing.
	All right, I'm going to give it to you.
	Please put all of that in the red book.
	Let me see if I got this right.
	Obama's president forever.
	Black people being sent back to Africa.
	That's pretty awesome, John.
	I can just see you sitting there in your polka dot long johns watching hours of Reverend Manning.
	Oh, good job.
	Alright, so...
	It has its moments.
	That's great.
	On Thursday, we will have a special episode of the No Agenda program, episode 425.
	That'll be on the 12th.
	It has been prerecorded, but it includes all fresh new material and a look back at episode 200.5 with some of the bits that were no longer relevant or boring taken out.
	Then on Sunday, we will have a pipeline special, which I think is also with some new material in there from John and myself.
	Then I fly back on Wednesday next week.
	The week after, typically.
	And on Thursday we'll be back live.
	Fresh with material from Europe.
	Yeah.
	I will be investigating the availability of 11-year-old pimps with blow.
	So thank you all so much for all your well wishes, all of the support that you give our program.
	Remember, Dvorak.org slash NA. We continue to need your support and a trailer for the Hot Pockets Tour.
	Everybody coming to you from Austin, Tejas, I'm Adam Curry in the morning.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Remember to listen Thursday to No Agenda.
	Go ahead now and whoop the dumb head media!
	You got to talk about that!
