	Allow me to share an incident from a few weeks back.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, October 21st, 2012.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 454.
	This is no agenda.
	Suffering from disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
	Here at the capital of the bone star state, we're in Austin Tejas in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I've got a bell, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Yeah, but wouldn't you much rather have disruptive mood dysregulation disorder?
	Doesn't that sound...
	Is that another one that's on the list?
	Yeah, I've been looking at the DSM. What does that one mean?
	Isn't it apparent?
	Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
	Well, I wasn't going to go right into it, but if you really want to know, sure.
	Here it is.
	Many experts feel children are misdiagnosed.
	Now, this is putting together the DSM-5, I believe.
	And in fact suffer from disruptive mood dysregulation disorder instead of ADHD and ADD. Now it's DMDD. The new, still unofficial disease currently is being debated for inclusion in the manual.
	However, there's no treatment yet.
	So, I mean, why even bother?
	No, there's no drug, so why bother?
	Why bother putting it in?
	But I love that one.
	I've got DMDD, man.
	So what is it supposed to be?
	Exactly what it says.
	Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
	It's not the same as ADHD. Not quite ADD. It's DMDD. It's just a reason for a new drug.
	It's like they're holding up a sign.
	We think it's time for a new drug, everybody.
	Why don't you repackage some of that Hal doll?
	It's just...
	Maybe just to mess with us.
	Just to say, hey, you guys still awake?
	What?
	Okay.
	You don't understand?
	You don't understand that...
	Okay.
	So they're putting together the...
	No, no, give me an example of this disease.
	Well, it's very similar to ADHD and ADD, except they're now saying, we may have been misdiagnosing these children because they might actually have DMDD, which of course is...
	Oh, I thought they'd have DOADOPD, QDD. No, no, no.
	You have to understand.
	They think that now they may have been misdiagnosing all of these children, which of course could have been hundreds of thousands of children who were receiving medication for attention deficit disorder, when they of course obviously had disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
	And that requires a whole different prescription.
	Can you give me those letters again?
	Yes.
	DMDD is disruptive, mood, dysregulation, D-Y-S, regulation, disorder.
	So it's...
	Yes?
	Disruptive mood deregulation?
	Disregulation.
	Disregulation.
	I think it should be deregulation during the Reagan administration for sure.
	No, it's dysregulation.
	Disruptive mood deregulation disorder.
	This is the problem that Bernanke has.
	That's the Bernanke.
	No, also known as the Bernanke disease.
	So it's a form of pediatric bipolar illness known as BPI. These guys kill me.
	I love it.
	It's a job for Haldol, no matter what.
	I found this database.
	Maybe this is the one that Buzzkill Jr.
	told me about.
	It's the Arrowhead Experiences Vault.
	Yeah, that's all these druggies.
	Apparently there's a large contingent of people on the interwebs who like to just take drugs and then report back.
	Right, but this is an actual searchable database.
	Yeah, if you want to take something, you go to this website.
	And it tells you what's going to happen to you.
	So I looked up Haldol, and apparently...
	And there's a bunch of guys...
	By the way, there's a bunch of guys in there that go, do not take this ever.
	No, there's quite a few of those.
	In fact, I looked up Haldol, and...
	Here it is.
	The entry is Haldol, Body Convulsions of Death.
	I'm like, okay.
	Oh, God.
	That doesn't sound fun.
	But do you remember one of the main side effects of Haldol?
	And so this guy is like, he was feeling kind of weird.
	I'll read from his entry, but halfway down, he gets some chocolate cake from the fridge, and so he's tripping out.
	About three bites into the chocolate cake, my tongue began pushing against the back of my teeth, almost like I had bad cotton mouth.
	I would pull it back, and it would slowly edge forward until it was pressing against my teeth.
	This is the snake-like tongue movements.
	Feeling a bit strange, I went to my room to lay down.
	This is approximately 24 hours since I had taken the Haldol.
	Upon arriving in my room, I was unable to sleep because of the involuntary movements of my tongue.
	I drank some water and tried to relax, but it was getting worse.
	Now my tongue was pushing past my teeth and protruding from my mouth.
	I would have to forcibly pull it back and lock my jaw down.
	Then I began to get a little scared.
	Yeah, no shit.
	I decided to try to completely relax and maybe I could go to sleep with my tongue stuck out.
	My tongue continued to push out until it stretched to the point it was painful.
	Ha ha ha ha!
	This is great.
	I began to panic.
	Yeah.
	And it forced it back in and clenched my jaw shut.
	After clenching my jaw for about 10 minutes, my neck began to slowly bend to the right, much like my tongue.
	I was unable to stop its movement or hold my head up straight any longer than a few seconds.
	Now I'm in my room by myself.
	My tongue is stuck all the way out.
	My head is crushed into my shoulder, and I'm crying because it feels like I'm about to break my own neck from the force of the muscles clenching.
	This lasted for four hours.
	I can't wait to try it.
	This is fantastic.
	Fantastic.
	Anyway.
	Hey, in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, subs in the water, and feet in the air.
	Also, good in the morning to our knights out there who have supported the show so well.
	We highly appreciate that, of course.
	And once again, Martin J.J., I clocked in with the art for the previous episode, 453, and I'd like to say a hearty in the morning to everybody in the chat room.
	All of our human resources there lined up, ready to go, all charged up and already thinking about trying their own dose of Haldol at noagendachat.net, noagendastream.com.
	And so my Twitter got hacked.
	Oh, your Twitter got hacked.
	Yeah, that happened this morning.
	That happened to me about a year and a half ago, two years ago.
	And I know exactly what happened, too.
	It's so dumb.
	I was looking at Instagram, because this is now, this is like kids say, the only social platform I use is Instagram.
	I swear to God.
	Kids can go jump off a bridge.
	No, man, I don't do Twitter or Facebook.
	The only social platform I'm on is Instagram.
	Are you living in Connecticut?
	What kids are you talking to?
	My daughter and her friends.
	They don't talk like Connecticut twerps?
	No.
	Emphasis added for entertainment on the podcast.
	But of course it's all plugged in through their Facebook and whatever, so it kind of flows through.
	And so now I'm on this and I'm following a couple of her friends.
	And it's basically just pictures and then maybe a little comment or something.
	And one of her friends had posted, I have naked pictures of Justin Bieber.
	I'm like, okay, I'm game.
	So I click on the link.
	And then it says, oh no, you have to go to this link through Twitter.
	Oh, brother.
	Oh yeah, I know, I'm such a...
	You shouldn't be putting this out there as, this is going to embarrass you.
	It's okay, because I'm okay to be embarrassed.
	People need to know that even I can fall for this.
	I'm like, these kids, they maybe actually do have naked pictures of Justin Bieber.
	That would be funny.
	And you just gotta see what...
	What Bieber looks like.
	I'm investigating for the show.
	Now I know why his last name's Bieber.
	I'm investigating for the show.
	And then it pulls up a Twitter screen and says you gotta log in.
	And I know, I know.
	And as I'm doing it, and I'm doing it on my phone, I'm like, oh no, I should...
	I hit it.
	Ugh.
	Wait a minute.
	What, are you a psycho?
	You're typing in and you're saying to yourself, stop, stop.
	I couldn't.
	I couldn't.
	My tongue extended so far it hit the button.
	By the way, that reminds me of, I think we've talked about this maybe two or three years ago, and I'll bring it up again.
	There is a phenomenon, and it's been discussed in the media and elsewhere.
	There are people that, you know, that fishing thing, you can say, click here and they will just have, they feel that they're obliged to do it.
	It's almost like a compulsion.
	And that's where a lot of zombie bots are planted through these, you know, it's just a weird phenomenon.
	You get yourself into a situation, you can't not click yes.
	It could be Tourette's.
	It could be.
	Ah, if only they had a cure for that.
	But it's maybe hopefully a little bit understandable because it was a new, it's a whole new thing.
	Yeah, wait, wait, hold on a second, back up.
	Yeah.
	You knew at the time that you were doing this that this possibility existed.
	Why didn't you go change your password immediately on Twitter?
	I did, but they had already sent out a link.
	That's how quick it went.
	Holy crap, you're kidding.
	Yeah, like a diet link.
	And of course, here's the funny thing.
	A diet link?
	People who follow me are like, hey man, I thought it was weird you were sending out a diet link.
	Like, they're so gullible, they clicked on a diet link from me?
	Seriously?
	Let me tell you what the tweet was.
	It was pretty funny.
	It's so obvious that you would never, ever click on this coming from me.
	Hold on.
	It was...
	Oh, this Twitter thing.
	Do you find it slow?
	Sometimes.
	Oh, here it is.
	Uh...
	Not after I erased the Zune program.
	This is the fastest, all caps, way to shed body fat in two weeks.
	Come on, people.
	You gotta know that that's not me.
	And they're like...
	You want to hear some of the responses?
	So people can laugh at me, but the people who clicked on it are just as silly.
	Let's see.
	Did you get hacked, Adam Curry?
	Hey, you have really strange tweets you're sending out.
	Hey, man, that link you sent is not safe according to Chrome.
	That's the guy, the gullible guy, that guy.
	But there's a couple of them.
	A couple of them.
	Ah, you sent out a site considered by Twitter to be unsafe!
	Yeah, okay.
	As if you had done it.
	Yeah.
	Now, let me offset all of this.
	Let me offset that idiocy by saying that yesterday I passed my ham exam.
	Did you get your call letters?
	No, not yet.
	It was in the mail, I guess.
	Here's what was cool, because I went for the technician test.
	By the way, this was hilarious, John.
	When you took your test, what kind of people were at the test?
	Well, there was about 20 people, and they were all about 60 years old.
	Right.
	So I had the same guys, except they were from Texas.
	And, of course, there's five of them sitting up there, kind of like on a dais, because you have to have...
	Right.
	There's a group at the top, and when you turn your questions in, you do it to one of the guys.
	They check it all.
	And they never tell you what you got wrong, though.
	I know.
	So first of all, there's the five guys, and they're all seasoned hams, and they have badges.
	They're all experts.
	They're the extra hams.
	They're VEs, John.
	They're the top-notch hams.
	They're the grand poobahs of Hamdom.
	Did any of those guys know who you were?
	Absolutely not.
	No clue whatsoever.
	Two of them knew me.
	And so there's maybe five people taking a test.
	And I'm the only newbie.
	And they're not quiet during the test.
	They're talking to each other and they're walking around.
	Did you have the same thing?
	There was no order whatsoever.
	No.
	No, I didn't have that.
	And I was taking the test and people were coming in and they were late and then they started late.
	And one guy was juggling.
	I swear to God, I'm taking the test.
	He's juggling.
	And the other guy's like, well, that's cool.
	Can you do three?
	Can you do four?
	Can you do five?
	And then one guy.
	And I'm taking the test.
	And he says, hey, do you know what DNA stands for?
	This is the level of humor.
	So do you know what DNA stands for, John?
	No, what, Adam?
	No, what does DNA stand for?
	First of all, of course there was a guy there who actually knew what the abbreviation DNA stands for, which is...
	Deoxyribonucleic acid or something like that.
	Exactly!
	And then he said, nope, that's not what it stands for.
	He said, well, what does it stand for?
	National Dyslexic Association?
	That is actually quite funny.
	And I'm taking the test.
	I'm like, oh my god, I can't believe this.
	This is actually going on.
	But you have to have, the guy says, yes, that's D.O. Nucleic action.
	And the guy goes, nope, that's National Dyslexic Association.
	I'm like, oh jeez.
	Okay.
	Exactly.
	I'm like tripping out.
	So I hand in my test.
	That's a distraction, somebody.
	I hand in my test.
	The guy goes, oh man, you almost aced it, just had one wrong.
	You should do the general.
	I'm like, I didn't study for the general test.
	He says, you should do it anyway.
	It didn't cost anything.
	Yeah, it's true.
	But I literally had not looked at the general test.
	So I sit down and I'm like, oh my God, if I'd only looked at the test, I could have aced this one too.
	Yeah, the general's not that hard.
	I got like 15 wrong or something, so I didn't pass that, but I'll go back in a month and, I mean, come on, this is almost like getting your pilot's license.
	It's like, wow, okay.
	Now, immediately, I want to get on the stick.
	I can't be talking yet.
	I'd have to wait for my call sign.
	But I've already figured I've got a repeater right here in Austin, which I can access.
	Yeah, but on what system?
	I can get right into WINS. I've been listening to WINS all last night.
	I was listening to the WINS system.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, so I can get right in.
	Now, of course...
	We could do the next podcast over the WINS system on the ham...
	I don't know, I think the.7 or something.
	Oh, on the Channel 7, you mean?
	No, but...
	No, no, no.
	The 400 megahertz or whatever.
	Oh, that's just your local node.
	It's actually being routed.
	No, I know.
	My local node, I'm just saying, whatever you can plug into, it's going to be some VHF frequency.
	Right, but we have to...
	But that's all over stuff.
	We've got to have full duplex.
	No, no, no.
	No, not on WINS. Yes, WINS is...
	What are you talking about?
	I've gone on and off and on.
	You act like normal and you just wait for somebody to come back to you.
	Right.
	You don't go over.
	I've never heard you say over.
	You have to unkey the microphone.
	You don't keep keying the mic.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That's true.
	Right.
	So we need a full duplex system, but it would be pretty easy for us to set that up.
	Maybe.
	I don't think it's allowed to do our show on the ham bands.
	Yeah, it is, as long as you're not playing music.
	Government regulations.
	Here's my favorite question, and it's on the technical test, the technician test, as well as the general test.
	When is it allowed to play music?
	On any frequency?
	As far as I know, never.
	Yes, it's allowed when you're retransmitting a broadcast from mission control to astronauts in space.
	Because they have to play the stupid songs to wake them up in the morning.
	So that's actually a rule.
	That's a rule now.
	I can't wait.
	I cannot wait.
	It's going to be so fun.
	I'm going to be all the...
	Hey, I'm monitoring, John.
	You should be...
	Yeah, you could probably get into this and get one of those huge antennas and get down to that extremely long wavelength stuff.
	Yeah, no, I got to do the 30 meters or whatever and have a full...
	Yeah, where all the old codgers are.
	Yeah, and have a full wavelength antenna.
	Larry, I'm in Brussels.
	Probably talk to Pelsmockers.
	No, then of course, hey ma'am, I'm talking to Brussels and 500 milliwatts with CW. No, it wouldn't be milliwatts.
	You'd get some 50,000.
	If you're using CW, if you're using Morse code.
	Oh, CW doesn't make any difference.
	Right, right.
	Then you're not going to go there.
	I can't imagine that.
	I heard a guy boasting about just that last night.
	He's like, yeah, I try to make it on 500 milliwatts to Brazil on CW. 150 hertz bandwidth.
	I'm like...
	I got nerd points, though.
	I got big nerd points on all that.
	And I'll do the general.
	That'll be fun.
	And then I'm into it.
	Now I've figured out how these repeaters work.
	It's cool.
	I created a monster.
	I thought Leo was bad enough.
	He's never on.
	He doesn't even do anything.
	He never CQs.
	He's got his license.
	He's got this huge rig in his place up there.
	Holy mackerel.
	Really?
	He's got like a whole shack?
	He's got like some old...
	A bunch of guys donated this stuff.
	Oh, really?
	He got, like, free stuff?
	Yeah, but it's not just free stuff.
	He's got, like, an old AM transmitter from KSFO that's been rigged to run on ham.
	It's got, like, glowing tubes, and it's unbelievable.
	And it's all been refurbished, so it looks like it's brand new from 1932.
	It's like a TSA body scanner is what you're saying?
	It's just glowing in there?
	No, no, it's really hot looking.
	He's got an old, he's got, somebody gave him one of those, remember those old boards you used to have with those giant pots?
	Heath kit?
	Huge knobs.
	Like a Heath kit?
	No, I'm talking about in the radio station.
	This is all radio station stuff.
	Oh, like the mixer board.
	You mean the big old fashioned with the big audition?
	The big old fashioned with the giant pot and the two giant VU meters.
	And the switch under each pot, which means audition or program.
	Exactly.
	He's got one.
	I'll take a picture of him, Senator.
	You're going to look at it.
	I'm jealous.
	I'm jealous.
	The thing looks like it was just manufactured yesterday.
	By the way, I've done shows on those.
	And then you had the turntable, which had like a gear shift.
	So you'd queue up the record and you'd flip the gear shift?
	No, most of the...
	Here in the US of A, we did it all with felt pads and sliders.
	No, no.
	That was after the big gear shift.
	I used this in Salem, West Virginia.
	I used this at WITB. Yeah.
	I've never used one with the big gear shift on it.
	Yeah.
	Anyway.
	All I knew was slip queuing.
	Yeah.
	Well, we used to build our own.
	We'd take apart a relay and take it out of the plastic housing, and you'd put the slip mat in between the contacts of the relay, and then you'd jerry-rig a micro switch into your mixing board so when the pot was closed, the fader, it would actuate the magnetic coil in the relay, and it would snap closed on the slip mat.
	So when you open up that fader, then it would immediately start the record.
	You're on your way.
	Yeah.
	We used to build those ourselves.
	Oh, God.
	Hello, everybody!
	You thought that the ham radio stuff was nerdy.
	Wait until you hear about this!
	Yeah, well, back to the show.
	No, no, one more thing.
	One more thing.
	Now you know I'm really living in Austin.
	That I've really settled down.
	Because not only did I get my ham license.
	Because you shot an Indian?
	No.
	One of our producers, Charlie Thompson, who has been listening for quite a while, and he's a semi-retired chip designer, he took me up flying and introduced me to everybody in Austin Aviation, so now I can start flying around again, and I know where to rent a plane.
	Really cheap.
	This is so awesome.
	You've been to Austin Berksham Airport, right?
	Yeah.
	Big airport.
	It's a professional airport.
	Let me give a pet peeve out.
	They had a really nice airport in Austin before they built this monstrosity that you're bragging about.
	It was a cool little place, very much like the airport in Hilo, Hawaii, or some, you know, very quaint.
	And it was, of course, on the, it was a kiddie corner to the other side of town.
	It was, I thought, you know, it's just way, it's not even where the new airport is.
	And so when they built the new airport and I went there, I figured it was where the old airport was, like they did at Oakland, for example, when they had an old airport, they built a new one right next door.
	And I knew my way around Austin pretty well.
	So I started driving, and I'm somewhere toward Waco.
	By the time I figure out that I'm...
	Because I'm supposed to be going one direction, but I'm going in the opposite direction thinking that's the way to go.
	She went the wrong way, yeah.
	And I had to get a message.
	How the hell?
	And it took me actually a while.
	I finally ran into a cop.
	I said, yeah, I got the airport.
	He says, oh, yeah, another one.
	Apparently, this happens to a lot of people.
	Okay, so that's your pet peeve, whatever.
	Austin Burke's from Airport, which is 20 minutes from downtown.
	It's very professional.
	We can have 747s, as long as you don't try to hook up to a gate.
	But we've got Southwest, America.
	It's big.
	It's a big regional hub.
	And, of course, they've got the naked body scanners and they've got their TSA and everything.
	So you go to the south side of the airport, which is the executive, the general aviation, and there's basically two FBOs, two field-based operators.
	You've got Signature Air and then Atlantic Aviation.
	And you just walk in, you say, hey, and you just walk right through, right onto the tarmac, you know, and I swear to God, there's good old boys with their shotguns, putting them in the back of their Cessnas, getting ready for a weekend hunting trip, you know, on the tarmac.
	You know, so I could have just walked through there with my stinger, you know, knelt down and shoot me a Southwest jet out of the air.
	The whole security theater on the other side is just laughable when you see how laid back and easy it is.
	Hey, how you doing, man?
	Yeah, I'm just going to walk over here.
	Yeah, that's good.
	No safety jackets, no yellow jackets, no passes, none of that.
	Just go to the airplane, whatever you want.
	Love that.
	Well, that's good.
	Yeah.
	The way it should be.
	Exactly.
	Anyways, it was really great.
	Charlie flew me around.
	We looked at the Formula One track, which of course is going to be used in about, what is it, in a month from now, less than a month from now.
	Yeah, that'll be a zoo.
	Oh, it's going to be pretty funny.
	I wonder how the Eurotrash is going to react to the city of Austin.
	Well, the city of Austin is not ready.
	They have no clue.
	They do not understand what the Eurotrash wants.
	They have no clue.
	Now, they'll be ready next year, but this year, they're going to be like, what?
	You want a $1,000 bottle of Moet Chandon to spray over these people?
	What?
	You ain't going to drink it?
	What?
	No.
	The W Hotel is clueless.
	Clueless.
	And they think that they're going to have a helipad next to the W. Like, yeah, we're pretty sure some people will want to take a helicopter out.
	Dude, you need the big Sikorsky 25-person helicopter.
	You have no idea what these people are going to demand.
	Anyway, it's funny.
	It'll be good for Austin.
	They'll learn a lot.
	It'll be interesting.
	So, I thought it was quite good of myself that I had not mentioned the flying until after I'd flown.
	But that was good for the continuation of the show.
	Yes, I keep it that way, by the way.
	You will never hear that I'm going flying.
	You will only hear if I went flying.
	It's their favorite method.
	Oh, so sorry.
	Oh, geez.
	Well, yeah.
	Well, just some kind of technical problem.
	Yeah, it ran out of gas.
	Something was wrong with the motor.
	Yeah, that is the technical description.
	Something wrong with the motor.
	Well, if you are just tuned in, you are listening to...
	The Best Podcast in the Or, as Governor Romney would say...
	No agenda for the future.
	No agenda for America.
	No agenda for the second term.
	Did you catch that bit?
	Yeah, I loved it.
	I never clipped it, but I heard it.
	When I heard it, I said, ah!
	Yeah, it's funny because I didn't clip it either.
	Yes, I'm sure somebody sent it.
	Yeah, someone sent it to me.
	And I heard like, you know, I got like a million emails saying, oh man, he said no agenda.
	And we get a lot of these where someone says, he must be listening to the show!
	Like, no, he's not listening to the show.
	I don't even look at those when people say, hey, this fill-in-the-blank politician must be a no-agenda listener.
	No.
	There are no politicians in this country that listen to no agenda.
	None.
	It's not happening.
	Oh, the chat room, who said this?
	And they'd be annoyed if they did.
	We're so sorry to report that Adam Curry accidentally walked into the propeller.
	You got him by the legs?
	Yeah, I got him.
	I got his arms.
	Hey, what are you guys doing?
	One, two, three.
	Oh my goodness.
	And in the midst of all that, I also was able to work on the show.
	Found quite a lot of interesting little things going on.
	But I see that you've done the same.
	You've come in with quite a nice amount of clippage, which always excites me.
	Well, let me go through one of them right off the bat.
	I took a bunch of the CCTV shows and I put together what amounts to a narrative.
	Oh.
	And you can conclude for yourself what's going on.
	A narrative, does that mean like kind of a storyline?
	There's a storyline...
	When you play clip, we'll do a clip and then we'll say, okay, there's that.
	And then we'll set them up so we know that these are separate clips so you can kind of understand how the story is slowly developing.
	And then you can conclude for yourself what's going to happen, but I think it's pretty obvious.
	Do you remember on the last show we talked about how the U.S., or it was maybe the show before that, the U.S. and Japan were doing these joint...
	Yes, yes, joint naval operations, I believe.
	Yes, to retake an island.
	Yes, an island which was not mentioned in the report.
	Exactly.
	And, of course, the Japanese, of course, are having conflicts with two different countries about these islands.
	So let's start with this narrative.
	There's only five clips here, but I think you can come to some sort of conclusion of what might be going on if you play them in order.
	Start with number one.
	Japanese media says the Japanese and US governments have decided to cancel their planned joint military exercise on an uninhabited island in Okinawa Prefecture.
	The exercise had been planned for November the 5th.
	It was designed to simulate the coordination of forces to recover an island occupied by an enemy.
	This had been the first planned Japan-U.S. full-scale joint island recovery exercise held on a Japanese island.
	It said the cancellation of the drill has been called by Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda.
	Okay, let me just see if I have this right.
	In case there would be...
	I'm going to write this down for a minute.
	In case there would be an island that would need to be...
	It was occupied and need to be liberated.
	Okay, I've got it.
	My interest is piqued.
	Okay, so then we go to clip number two.
	Japan's Defence Ministry says it's increased the number of fighter jets deployed towards China and Russia since July.
	Japan's Air Self-Defense Force scrambled its planes more than 50 times from July to September, more than three times the number in April to June.
	Japanese jets were scrambled over 200 times from April to September as a precaution against approaching foreign aircraft, the highest number in 10 years.
	It intercepted Russian planes 134 times in the six-month period.
	The two countries have a territorial dispute over four islands called the Northern Territories by Japan and the South Kurils by Russia.
	Hmm.
	Well, the plot thickens.
	So we move on.
	Okay, to number three.
	Germany has given Japan the cold shoulder on the Daoyu Islands issue, just as the British and French did earlier this week.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	First of all, the Bukake Islands, the Daoyu Islands, what do you call it?
	That's what the Chinese call them, the Daoyu or whatever they call them.
	Right, right.
	And the Japanese have a southern name.
	So apparently one of the Japanese foreign ministers, somebody went over to Europe and nobody would meet with him.
	We're not interested.
	We're giving you the cold shoulder.
	Yeah, so we move on to narrative point number four.
	Wait, didn't I... Oh yes, number four, here we go.
	A team of seven naval vessels from the North China Sea Fleet has completed a 17-day training and arrived in East China's Qingdaa City.
	During the training, Chinese Marine Forces entered the waters near the Daoyu Islands for the first time.
	The vessels conducted anti-piracy drills, international aid, anti-submarine and air defense drills.
	Missile destroyers and comprehensive supplement ship, the Hongzhu, took part in the event.
	Hmm.
	So, this wasn't covered much in the mainstream media on our site.
	No, we had the binders of women, is what I recall.
	We had binders of women.
	Meanwhile, so the Japanese canceled their exercise, but the Chinese went ahead with theirs, and so the kicker becomes clip number five.
	And Japan has refused to join a UN initiative led by 16 countries to make atomic weapons illegal.
	Japan's Kyoto News Agency says the 16 nations drafted a statement for submission to the first committee of the UN General Assembly that calls on all states to intensify their efforts to outlaw nuclear weapons and achieve a world free of nuclear weapons.
	Japan, the only country to have ever come under nuclear attack, has refused to back the initiative after being asked to endorse it earlier this week.
	Wow.
	Hey, you know, remember those, like, Nagasaki and Hiroshima stuff?
	No, we think we'll kind of, like, be on the lookout for, you know, that.
	Wow.
	So there's your narrative now.
	I can't figure out what might possibly happen in this situation.
	It doesn't look like a lot of fun.
	Or as we say, what could possibly go wrong with this scenario?
	You just can't imagine.
	Wow.
	And that was on China TV? Yeah, of course the Chinese have a dog in the hunt.
	But it was pretty...
	I started picking up on this and I went back and I pulled these clips together because it sounds like they're building up.
	And now they're going to poo-poo the nuke thing.
	It's not good.
	No.
	Wow.
	We need to rearm Japan.
	That's what we need.
	Rearm the Germans, rearm Japan, what could go wrong?
	Do you think that they are not armed at all?
	They must have something already.
	No, no, they got all these, they have these fleet, no, they got a navy, it's minor but small, but they have one and they can build ships if you haven't ever noticed.
	I mean, for a while they were the biggest shipbuilders in the world.
	Yeah.
	And then they've got a bunch of our jets.
	Now, this possibly could be, you know, we could be fomenting all this just to sell more arms because the new jets are really expensive.
	Well, this does seem like a pretty decent idea considering our economy is based upon selling death machinery.
	I saw this morning, there was a conversation, I want to say maybe it was CNN, they were talking about how awesomely low the unemployment rate is in Virginia, which apparently is like 5%.
	I'm like, yeah, okay, it's Virginia, it's where the entire military industrial complex lives to then go into the Pentagon and all the surrounding areas to go work on this stuff.
	Like, yeah, no wonder that unemployment is low.
	And, of course, everyone there is on antidepressants.
	Virginia is for lovers.
	Hey, now.
	Let's thank our producers.
	I think we have two.
	Yeah, we have two and one, apparently.
	I didn't see on the original spreadsheet, but I guess Sir Gene Neftulia gave you $200.
	Yes, he did.
	Yesterday, after our farmer's market shopping extravaganza, we sat down with Mike and Jane Malaro, who are Austin-based producers.
	Mike, of course, made the John C. Dvorak head on a stick that we took around the country on our Hot Pockets tour.
	And so they just got married, so they just come back from their wedding and honeymoon in the Cook Islands.
	Oh, the Cook Islands.
	People love the Cook Islands.
	And they said they had like a cabin for like, you know, 50 bucks a night right on the beach.
	Yeah.
	Which apparently, and I guess it's like nine hours from L.A. or something.
	They look like they had a really good time.
	And not only that, but there's something in that there's some angle of the sun or something.
	You get this really unusual looking tan that's very attractive.
	Now, it's funny that you say that because Gene, Gene, Jane, Gene also looked attractive, but Jane looked smoking hot.
	I don't know what it was, but I guess it was the angle of the sun.
	Actually, Mike looked pretty hot, too.
	I ran into a guy who's a Cook Island aficionado.
	This is a weird story, but a Cook Island aficionado.
	A Cook Island expert.
	He likes to have a certain look to his tan, and he goes to the Cook Islands just to get this look.
	Really?
	Okay.
	He told me.
	That's where I got the idea.
	He says, the Cook Islands, he says, you get this weird tan that you can't get anyplace else in the world.
	He says, I just go there to look like this.
	And he looked good.
	Yeah, no, they both look really good.
	That's interesting.
	Okay, well, now, I'm sorry that we discussed this on the show because Miss Mickey was already like, hey, I like that sound.
	They look so healthy, don't you think?
	By the way, she talks like Marge Simpson.
	Like an old woman.
	Like Marge Simpson.
	Hey, she looks so healthy, don't you think?
	Well, let's go to the Cook Islands.
	So yeah, you two should go to the Cook Islands.
	I'm sure the connectivity sucks.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So Sir Gene came down from Dallas and he had a meeting in Austin.
	He seems to have meetings from time to time here.
	And he gave me an FBI Dallas hoodie.
	And an FBI Dallas hoodie.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	And do you remember what he asked last time when he donated?
	No.
	Oh, yeah, you do.
	Okay, what?
	He says you have to play the Atlas Shrug jingle.
	What about it?
	What about it?
	By Ayn Rand.
	By Ayn Rand.
	When he donates, that's all he wants.
	He doesn't want karma, doesn't want anything else.
	He just wants the jingle to be played.
	Well, he'll be the associate executive producer for show 454.
	And it's surprising that nobody came up with a 454, which is a nice...
	Palindrome, but nobody did.
	Not only that, but did you notice that the date is interesting?
	It depends on which way you do it, but it's 1-0-2-1-2-0-1-2.
	It's all 0-1s and 2s in the date.
	Yeah, very weird.
	No one came up with that.
	Okay, well, that's what happens.
	I don't know.
	Well, we should have come up with it.
	But actually, our executive producer is Rob King.
	Who came in with $220.11.
	We're losing out here for some reason.
	Our people are not interested in becoming the executive producer of the show.
	But he becomes that by default.
	And he's in Port Coquitlam in British Columbia, which I believe is by Spasm.
	Spasm?
	Is that above Jism?
	Sorry?
	Never mind.
	I don't know where Spuzzum is.
	It's a very cosmopolitan town in British Columbia.
	Okay.
	Everyone in BC knows where Spuzzum is.
	It's short, but it's sweet, even though it's two.
	We're always very, very happy to receive any kind of support.
	Quite frankly, I think we're amazed from time to time that our product is good enough for you to feel that it has It has the value that you place upon it, and we're very, very appreciative of that.
	So our associate executive producer and executive producer, Sir Gene and Rob King, thank you very much.
	And while you're considering supporting the best podcast in the universe, of course, you can always go out and, well, do this, propagate our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	You.
	Water.
	Water.
	Shut up, Wade.
	Woo-hoo! - Move!
	So the president did his weekly YouTube address, which as you know I watch religiously.
	Let me see how many people watch that today.
	Hold on a second.
	YouTube.com slash White House.
	I mean, because of course the only people who could be watching it are...
	I mean, do you think citizens watch it?
	Or is it just...
	Let's see how many...
	Oh, 7,000.
	Nobody watches it but you and some agencies from overseas.
	7,000 views.
	That's a lot, actually.
	So let's listen to the opening, shall we?
	I have a Barney the Doll singing that's got over 2 million views.
	Hi, everybody.
	I gotta get back into my Obama thing.
	Hello, everybody.
	Hey, hi, everybody.
	You've actually kind of lost it.
	Hi, everybody.
	I gotta practice.
	Let's see.
	Let's see.
	Hi, everybody.
	Hi, everybody.
	In recent weeks, you might have noticed something.
	Or maybe you heard the sound of it.
	Have you heard the sound of it?
	Yeah, I have.
	What could the sound be, John?
	I don't know, but it doesn't sound good.
	New homes are going up.
	Oh!
	In fact, construction workers...
	Oh, the sound of the hammers being nailed.
	I think it's time to stop building.
	What's that sound?
	Everybody look what's going on.
	On new homes in America at the fastest pace in more than four years.
	At the same time, more homes are being sold.
	Home values are back on the rise.
	And foreclosure filings are at their lowest point in the five years since the housing bubble burst and left millions of responsible families holding the bank.
	It's a miracle!
	It's just a miracle!
	It's also bogus.
	If you just listen, do you hear that?
	I can hear the sound of houses being built.
	That's right.
	So I thought that was funny.
	But then I saw both the president and the ex-governor at this thing called the Al Smith dinner.
	Yeah, you know, I was thinking he actually...
	I got a clip from each of them.
	It's funny because I looked at this and it was on C-SPAN. I'm like, oh, John's going to clip that.
	And then I thought, you know what?
	Somehow I have this weird feeling you're not going to do it.
	You know, I actually have a clip of clips and I just didn't...
	I just...
	I don't know.
	I just didn't do it.
	I think it was a mistake.
	I think so, too, because...
	So, what is the history behind this Al Smith?
	I never heard of the Al Smith dinner until this year.
	That's the history of it.
	Really?
	Really?
	No, that can't be.
	No, the history of it, that's my history of it.
	I don't know what the history of it is.
	I'm just telling you, I've never heard of the Al Smith dinner, ever.
	We have been doing this show for almost five years.
	We celebrate our fifth anniversary on the 26th of October.
	The same day Windows 8 comes out, by the way.
	I know, I'm like, oh crap, we're going to be snowed under.
	No one will be talking about our anniversary.
	It's all going to be Windows 8.
	And I don't recall ever talking about this Al Smith dinner either.
	It's the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner.
	It's held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York on the third Thursday of October.
	And it started in 1945, one year after this Al Smith guy died.
	Who was this guy?
	He was a candidate for president.
	You can look him up.
	Yeah, no, but I just don't understand why.
	I mean, is this like some kind of Bilderberg elitist thing?
	And they all have to wear...
	It's white tie.
	This is the thing that's even more annoying.
	Yeah, it's white tie.
	It's white tie.
	Anyway, so the idea is it's kind of like...
	Well, actually, as I was watching this, I kind of got angry because all the press is there because I saw Jake Tapper was tweeting and everyone's tweeting from the...
	Oh, the president made it funny.
	Romney said something very humorous.
	But the things they're actually saying...
	It shows you how the press and the elites are laughing at us cannon fodder while making jokes about it in private.
	I'll give you a few examples.
	Let's start with the president.
	Now, win or lose, this is my last political campaign.
	So I'm trying to drink it all in.
	Unfortunately, Mayor Bloomberg will only let me have 16 ounces of it.
	No!
	See, when I hear that, they're all laughing because like, yeah, we're cutting the slaves off!
	No drink for you!
	You know what I mean?
	You can see it as funny.
	No, I know exactly what you mean.
	Here's the problem I have.
	First of all...
	And written by professional comic writers.
	Extremely professionally written.
	Extremely professional comic writers, and the material is quite good.
	It could be done, it could be actually by anybody.
	I mean, anyone could do these jokes.
	They're that kind of joke.
	In fact, give me the white tie, and I'll be even funnier with my tics with the Tourette's.
	It'll be even better than the present.
	Yeah, it would actually add some visual humor to it.
	Anyway...
	It's self-deprecating in a funny kind of way, and it's also insulting to the public who's been watching these debates, because the two guys go...
	Make fun of themselves at the debates and make fun of the other guy.
	And the whole thing is, it's borderline, you know, I think, I can't come up with the right word to describe it, but there's something very insulting about it that I can't put my finger on.
	It's like they're either not taking this seriously or the whole thing is a big joke.
	Big joke, big joke, yeah.
	The whole election between these two guys that let Gary Johnson out of the debates and all the rest of the fact that this is...
	Scam is a big joke and here we are with our buddies in the mainstream media yucking it up and drinking and wearing expensive clothes and making fun of ourselves and having a great old time and screw you public because this is just a big joke.
	That is the message that comes across to me.
	Oh, in fact, I'm glad you set that up.
	You basically set up my clip.
	But that's okay.
	I'm still making the most of my time in the city.
	Earlier today, I went shopping at some stores in Midtown.
	I understand Governor Romney went shopping for some stores in Midtown.
	See?
	That's exactly what you're talking about.
	We're all so rich and funny.
	Screw you little people!
	It's the same, you know when you're walking along and you throw up in your mouth a little bit?
	That's the feeling I get when I listen to this.
	Where you're like, you know, you're not really sick to your stomach, but oh.
	And then you have to decide, are you going to spit it out or swallow?
	You know, that's kind of what this is.
	And it brought back some great memories.
	Because some of you know, I went to school here in New York.
	Had a wonderful experience here.
	Oh, yes.
	The black man went to school in New York.
	Oh, we Democrats are so happy.
	So happy.
	That's what that is.
	Trust me, people.
	Used to love walking through Central Park, loved to go to old Yankee Stadium, the house that Ruth built, although he really did not build that.
	All right, so of course Romney would not be outdone.
	I think that Romney actually is a better comedian.
	And this may, you know, it's very hard when you're, you know, when you're a comedian who runs a country and I think it's just harder to deliver certain types of jokes and certain types of lines.
	And Romney, of course, being the underdog, almost has nothing to lose in this scenario.
	And I would wager, John, that the writing is done by the same people, the same team.
	Oh, no, that's a possibility.
	When I did the Windows roast back in the late 80s and they wanted me to organize everybody's material, I hired a bunch of comedians, or actually comic writers, and we put together a script for everybody.
	Exactly.
	Everybody had, it was all written by the same guys.
	Exactly.
	So, no, I agree with that.
	And they also had the same style of joke.
	Here it comes.
	Sorry for the extraneous applause, though.
	I'm glad to be able to join in this venerable tradition.
	Of course, I'm pleased that the President's here.
	We were chatting pleasantly this evening as if Tuesday night never happened.
	And I credit that, of course, to the Cardinal.
	It's taken New York's highest spiritual authority to get us back on our best behavior.
	I... See, the laughing that wasn't even a joke.
	That's how wired up these people are.
	But here comes the joke.
	I was actually hoping the President would bring Joe Biden along this evening.
	Because he'll laugh at anything.
	I gotta tell you.
	That was actually a funny one.
	But listen, you can hear the joke.
	People are laughing, and then they realize what the joke really is, because Joe Biden, of course, was laughing during the vice presidential debate, talking about death and mayhem and whatever the topic was, Biden was laughing.
	See, you can hear that second wave come in.
	Woo!
	Yay!
	Woo!
	Woo!
	And this is what bugged me about this.
	Because the press is there.
	The press who are now laughing, yeah, wasn't that crazy that idiot Joe Biden was laughing during the most serious topics in the debate?
	But you look at television, where's ABC with Jake Tapper then saying, hey, the vice president looked like a dick.
	Why was he laughing?
	Not a single person on television talked about that.
	Unless you can show me the clip, and that's what really irritates me.
	Here's the mainstream media laughing about the things that we are saying.
	Like, the guy's an idiot.
	You can't be laughing like a fool all the time during this debate, and no one in the mainstream news said it.
	But they all know it.
	They all think it's funny.
	They all think it's a good joke when they're all yucking it up together, drinking their Chardonnays, whatever that fancy wine is they got.
	Yeah, I'm sure it's Chardonnay, as a matter of fact.
	You know, we have an economic depression we're in, and there's a jobless crisis, and people are droning innocents in the middle of nowhere, and these guys are...
	I mean, it's really almost like Nero fiddling.
	I mean, it's very disturbing.
	I mean, if these guys are going to do this...
	I mean, it's like a club, and that's the reason for private clubs.
	I mean, you can go...
	If they're in a private club...
	So you can do this without someone looking at you.
	And they had their phones off and no cameras allowed, and they did this shit, we wouldn't be upset by it.
	And it's also, I think, more appropriate to do it that way, because this is throwing it in your face.
	And they're both there on Monday night.
	Both parties, by the way.
	And on Monday night, they're going to go out there and they're going to pretend like they hate each other and that they're stupid.
	And, you know, that was extremely annoying.
	And I think we're the only people who really call them on it because the rest of the world is like, that was a funny joke.
	You have to look beyond the idiocy.
	I picked up this clip.
	And by the way, again, professional writer, you can go hire a group of...
	Do comedic writers very inexpensively, by the way.
	It's a steal.
	And do this yourself.
	I mean, it's not...
	In fact, these idiots in the press probably don't...
	They probably think that Obama's writing his own material, for all I know.
	I don't know.
	I just shudder at the thought of how idiotic this is.
	Well, you know what?
	I'm okay with it.
	Because the more...
	The stupider the press is, the longer we'll be in business.
	Just on the Scampaign issue, because you brought it up about the, you know, on the 23rd we do have the alternative third party debate, which is going to be hosted by Larry King, I think streamed on the internet.
	And it's like, you know, it's on some channel like the ONA channel or something I don't get.
	Yeah.
	Hopefully, Victoria's Secret won't have something going on.
	Yeah, but probably we'll be ramping up towards the Windows release or whatever, or there'll be some iPhone news or something that will obfuscate even the live stream.
	But the reason why this is all taking place is because we have the Commission on Presidential Debates, the CPD, and they sponsor the debates.
	And I went looking into some history on this.
	Do you know when this started, this CPD? I think it was the second Reagan administration.
	It's fairly new.
	No.
	It's much older, much older than...
	Well, hold on a second.
	When would the second Reagan administration be?
	What year would that be?
	Maybe I'm wrong.
	That would be 84.
	Okay.
	So, yeah, you're actually spot on the money.
	So the way it worked before is the debates, which were televised commercially.
	You had sponsors for the debates, and then the CPD came in, and then they arranged the sponsors, and they're kind of like the front organization.
	But back in the day, it was the League of Women Voters.
	Do you remember this?
	The League of Women Voters?
	Yeah, right.
	And actually, the reason for the CPD was because...
	They wouldn't allow...
	There was something to do with third parties.
	I think they didn't want somebody to be in the debate and one of the sponsors dropped out and it became a scandal.
	There was some crazy story that made this all happen.
	The idea is to lock this thing down so we're stuck listening to these two guys instead of any alternative ideas or candidates.
	So I thought it would be interesting to listen to the 1988...
	Announcement by the League of Women Voters who withdrew as a sponsor because the CPD was just...
	Now we're talking 1988.
	People who listen to this show, some people were not even born in 1988.
	And this is how long this bull crap has been going on that they've been molded this into only two parties.
	You can only vote for guy red or guy blue, guy A or guy B, or maybe woman eventually.
	And you've been...
	A true representation of who is running for president has been withheld from you.
	And I thought it was just interesting to listen to this minute and a half clip of the withdrawal of the League of Women Voters and the reasons, and just a portion of the reasons for it.
	Representatives of the two campaigns came to us on September 28th, just two weeks before the debate, with an agreement we were told we had to sign.
	The agreement had been reached by the campaign chairman and it spelled out everything.
	Between themselves, the campaigns had determined what the television cameras could take pictures of.
	They had determined how they would select those who would pose questions to the candidates.
	They had determined that the press would be relegated to the last two rows of the hall.
	They had determined that they would pack the hall with their supporters.
	And they had determined the format.
	The campaign's agreement was a closed-door masterpiece.
	The agreement was a done deal, they told us.
	We were supposed to sign it and agree to all of its conditions.
	If we did not, we were told we would lose the debate.
	It's clear that the campaigns wanted the League's stamp of integrity on a shoddy product.
	Obviously, we have been presented with campaign demands before.
	We have agreed to some, and we have challenged and negotiated others.
	But never in the long history of the League of Women Voters have two candidates' organizations come to us with such stringent, unyielding, and self-serving demands.
	In Winston-Salem, which you know was not a League of Women Voters debate, they went so far as to insist on reviewing the moderator's opening comments.
	It turned out that the League had two choices.
	We could sign their closed-door agreement and hope the event would rise above the manipulations, or we could refuse to lend our trusted name to this charade.
	The League of Women Voters is announcing today that we have no intention of becoming an accessory to the hoodwinking of the American public.
	Under these circumstances, the League is withdrawing its sponsorship of the presidential debate scheduled for mid-October in Los Angeles.
	So this was 1988.
	Can you imagine what they're doing now?
	This thing that came out on the internet, this so-called leaked 21-page agreement about the debates, I guarantee you, John, that's just a bullcrap red herring they threw out there.
	Like, oh, go talk about the ties and about the number of minutes and how you should address each other.
	There was a real agreement behind the scenes, a closed-door agreement that we never saw.
	That would make sense if you listen to her.
	I like the term hoodwinking the American public.
	And that was 1988.
	Translate that to 2012.
	I think the hip-hop boys would say, they're putting a cap in your ass, gee.
	That's what it is.
	Hoodwinking.
	Yeah, it's a scam.
	Well, we've been kind of pointing this out.
	But it's fun to go back and listen to something.
	No, that's a great clip.
	That would be a clip of the day if it was...
	1988.
	It was a clip of 1988 of the day.
	But yeah, no, that needs to be...
	People need to be reminded of these things.
	I mean, that's a really good find.
	Where'd you get that?
	From C-SPAM. Oh, good call.
	Yeah, I was looking around.
	Yeah, C-SPAM has these archives.
	Have you ever dug through the archives and found a clip missing?
	I think it's happened once or twice.
	It's happened to me a couple of times and I've never gotten a satisfactory response to my complaint.
	It was really more like, but it was probably more a recent clip.
	Not an old one, but a recent clip.
	Now there's something else that I found rather disturbing.
	So we have this new commercial from the President, which I guess people are calling it his morning in America.
	Wasn't it Ronald Reagan who had the morning in America speech?
	I believe so.
	And it was this, they turned it into a commercial.
	Maybe it was a commercial.
	And it was, you know, it's morning in America and we're all going to, you know, we rock.
	We're all going to die.
	We're awesome and America's the best.
	We're only starting.
	We've only just begun.
	And so the president has one similar to that.
	And there is a big, big, big gaping hole of a lie in his campaign promise.
	But let's listen to how awesome he is in this 30-second clip.
	Every president inherits challenges.
	That's Morgan Freeman, by the way.
	Few have faced so many.
	I love it.
	Every...
	So, first of all, Bush done it.
	Four years later, our enemies...
	Do you hear how beautiful the music changes when he says four years later?
	This is so well done.
	Listen, listen, listen.
	Yeah, of course.
	Four years later, our enemies have been brought to justice.
	Our heroes are coming home.
	Yeah, you know, there's a big sign of Bin Laden is dead when he says that.
	Been brought to justice?
	That's not justice, it's just vengeance.
	They've been murdered, yes.
	And our heroes are coming home.
	Assembly lines are humming again.
	There are still challenges to meet.
	Children to educate.
	A middle class to rebuild.
	But the last thing we should do is turn back now.
	I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message.
	So the big lie that is bothering me, because I've seen the reports from the State Department, and there was a big meeting in...
	It was a big NATO meeting.
	Now I'm spacing on where it was.
	Because I subscribe to the military video channel, and I get all these video releases.
	So I have a video package.
	All you have to do is put your own voiceover, and they have the actual B-roll, and then they have the...
	Yeah, we should do an extra separate show where we just use all this stuff.
	We just write stuff, yeah.
	Or do it like that space ghost.
	Ask different questions.
	Right.
	But it would only work in video.
	And of course that's actual work, so we'll never do it.
	Yes, that's exactly right.
	But one of the president's promises is, I will bring home our troops from Afghanistan in 2014.
	Now this is what he's saying, correct?
	Currently, yes.
	That's what he's saying.
	Currently.
	Currently.
	But we're not, because the mission will continue.
	And we already know that it actually will continue to 2024.
	But here is NATO discussing the topic.
	It will be a training mission with the purpose to train, assist, give advice to the Afghan security forces.
	It will be a NATO-led mission, but we also expect contributions from partners outside NATO until now.
	Six partners have announced that they are prepared to contribute to the training mission after 2014.
	Oh, really?
	The training mission after...
	Now, just call it a training mission after 2014.
	They're talking about 2015.
	We are not leaving Afghanistan.
	No, I wouldn't.
	And by the way, they could change it to training mission anytime they want because it's never been declared as a war.
	Thank you.
	Good point.
	Good point.
	Now, who are the six countries outside of NATO that are getting involved?
	Yeah, he wouldn't say.
	That's not in the report, unfortunately.
	I wonder who it is.
	I'm totally wondering.
	Well, you've got some homework now.
	Somebody has homework to do.
	Someone of our listeners.
	Someone.
	Someone out there.
	And of course, I'm ready to wrap it up with the president does have a new thing.
	His new slogan.
	You've heard this?
	No.
	Oh, please.
	Yes, you have.
	Yes, we will.
	Yes, we can.
	Yes, we won't.
	Nope.
	So much backtracking and sidestepping.
	We've got to name this condition that he's going through.
	I think it's called Romnesia.
	Hell yeah.
	I heard this, yeah.
	Nice.
	It's cute.
	It's cute.
	He was killing it when he announced this, if you care to listen.
	This is where it was really funny, and nice to see he had nothing but women behind him, you know, with like four-word signs.
	Goodbye, love.
	Have fun.
	That makes sense.
	Let's listen.
	That's what it's called.
	I think that's what he's going through.
	I'm not a medical doctor.
	But I do want to go over some of the symptoms with you.
	Because I want to make sure nobody else catches it.
	This is really good.
	They blew their comedic wad on this.
	It's...
	You know, if you say you're for equal pay for equal work, but you keep refusing to say whether or not you'd sign a bill that protects equal pay for equal work, you might have romnesia.
	So he goes through a whole bunch of those, a whole bunch of examples, and that's romnesia.
	And I agree.
	I think that was very good.
	And then he wraps it up with this.
	That's some romnesia.
	So, I think you're beginning to be able to identify these symptoms.
	And if you come down with a case of Romnesia, and you can't seem to remember the policies that are still on your website, or the promises you've made over the six years you've been running for president, Here's the good news.
	Obamacare covers pre-existing conditions.
	I gotta say, nails it.
	Home run.
	It's not bad.
	I don't think it's the funniest thing I've ever heard.
	He was on Jon Stewart.
	Did you see that?
	Yes, and I have a clip, but let's see what you're...
	I have two clips.
	I actually have three, but one I don't want to play.
	I have two clips.
	I want to play the first one where he avoids a question that Stewart asked him about, you know, the Patriot Act and all the rest of it, and then he just changes the subject and And then he rattles on about one thing or another, and then Stewart backs off and makes some snide comment, and then the audience goes crazy for Obama!
	Okay, so which one are we playing, then?
	This would be the one, this is the clip that says, Obama on Stewart with idiot audience.
	As it ratchets down, I think people have been surprised to see the strength of the Bush-era warrantless wiretapping laws and those types of things not also be lessened.
	That the strictures that he put in place that people might have thought were government overreach and that maybe they had a mind that you would perhaps tone down, you haven't.
	Well, you know, the truth is actually we have modified them and built a legal...
	What?
	Whoa!
	What?
	To make him worse?
	Structure and safeguards in place that weren't there before.
	Yeah, totally.
	On a whole range of issues.
	Now, they're not real sexy issues.
	They're not the kinds of things that you're going to...
	You don't know what I find sexy.
	Let me put it this way.
	I mean, I saw you flash what that...
	I know, I know.
	I know what you've been reading, but we're not going to go there.
	No.
	I appreciate that.
	I'm still the president.
	No, I understand that.
	I understand that.
	I respect the position.
	I respect the position.
	I hereby denounce Jon Stewart as a shill for the New World Order.
	What a lame.
	He works for Viacom.
	What do you expect?
	Lame.
	Now, the other clip I have...
	The other clip I have, I want you to catch, I think is it a technique that Obama uses...
	There's a structure of what he says.
	This is a very short clip.
	This is the interesting Obama technique of speaking.
	You may have caught this already, but see if you can spot it.
	Otherwise, I'll...
	What's happened is we've got five million homes that we've seen foreclosures prevented.
	We have a settlement with the banks that provides another $25 billion to help the housing market.
	But the central question is, there are a whole bunch of things that we can do right now that will make the recovery even stronger, put more folks back to work.
	When you look at what we did with the auto industry...
	You mean the even stronger?
	That's the only thing I get out of it.
	I guess I'm not hearing what you're hearing.
	Let me just ask you here.
	Okay, before you play it again, you can play it again.
	It's very short.
	Can I just play it again and see?
	Maybe I just need a second pass.
	Is that okay?
	Okay.
	What's happened is we've got 5 million homes that we've seen foreclosures prevented.
	We have a settlement with the banks that provides another $25 billion to help the housing market.
	But the central question is, there are a whole bunch of things that we can do right now that will make the recovery even stronger, put more folks back to work.
	When you look at what we did with the auto industry, So, perhaps it's...
	Here's what I... On the second pass, I hear him being very specific about $5 billion, $25 billion, and then there's a whole bunch of things we can do.
	But that's probably not it either.
	Wow, this is even better than I thought.
	Okay, well here's what...
	Now you're going to listen to it a third time, and here's what you have to ask yourself.
	After you hear this, specifically, tell me what the central question is.
	We've got 5 million homes that we've seen foreclosures prevented.
	We have a settlement with the banks that provides another $25 billion to help the housing market.
	But the central question is, there are a whole bunch of things that we can do right now that will make the recovery even stronger, put more folks back to work.
	When you look at what we did with the auto industry...
	Yeah, the central question is not a question, just a whole bunch of things we can do right now.
	So he uses the term, the central question is to get your attention, your brain gets attention, because you're now going to wait for the question.
	Instead, he gives you a pat answer as though it's the answer to some question that was never asked.
	There is no question.
	This is really good.
	Now, why does he say, here's the...
	Go ahead.
	I'm sorry, go?
	No, no, no.
	I'm just going to say, Matt...
	Imagine you dropping, you know, just say, well, Adam, the question that needs to be addressed is we've got that new car in the driveway and everybody's happy.
	I mean, it's essentially, it's a switcheroo right in the middle of your, it's a brain, it's another short-circuiting device.
	There is no central question.
	He doesn't ask a central question.
	He just says the central question is, and then never says anything.
	I'm going to use this.
	I'm going to use this in everything.
	And I'm going to try it out.
	So first of all, I'm going to give you a clip of the day.
	This is a mind-controlling clip of the day, so you deserve that for a little.
	Clip of the day See, that short-circuits your brain.
	Now you think that you're cool.
	and I'll get you later.
	So I'm just going to use it for everything.
	I'm going to try it on Ms.
	Mickey, too.
	The central question is, blowjobs are great.
	Hey, I can hear a significant delay.
	I feel we have a delay for some reason.
	Like really weird.
	Should we just reconnect just to see if there's like something going on that we can just get rid of?
	There's probably nothing going on.
	It's just a slow deterioration.
	Yeah, we'll just disconnect and reconnect.
	At least I'm disconnecting and I shall reconnect.
	Did you reconnect?
	Of course, now it'll completely screw everything up.
	It'll never work again.
	Are you back?
	Hey there.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I don't have to go back and fix things.
	Oh, no.
	You don't have to go through all that, do you?
	I'm sorry.
	I should have realized.
	Yeah.
	So, here's the thing that I picked up from that interview.
	I picked up something completely different.
	Because, of course, I get irritated by other things.
	You did a much better job.
	Listen to what the President says in this clip.
	You ready?
	If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal.
	Right.
	And we're going to fix it.
	And all of it.
	All of it.
	And what happens during the course of the presidency is that the government is a big operation.
	At any given time, something screws up.
	And you make sure that you find out what's broken and you fix it.
	All right.
	I'm sorry.
	When someone says if four Americans get killed, it's not optimal, you're a douchebag.
	Yeah, I had that clip.
	That's my third clip that I did, but I have the whole long one, which is boring.
	Yeah.
	But I didn't pull anything out of it that was interesting.
	But I didn't hear that the first time.
	Before Americans get killed.
	No, if four Americans get killed.
	Not before.
	Oh, if four.
	Okay.
	If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal.
	Yeah, listen to it again, because it's really quite disturbing what he says.
	Here it comes.
	If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal.
	That's right.
	It's not optimal.
	It's like it's not tuned right.
	Yeah, this is like the Ford Pinto.
	It's a Ford Pinto concept.
	People don't remember this.
	They used to blow up, right?
	If you crashed into something, then the Ford Pinto would explode.
	If you hit them in the rear end, the Ford Pinto would blow.
	It's not optimal.
	It wasn't optimal.
	So they decided whether they should change the tank, how it was built into the car, or just pay out the millions of dollars it would cost every time somebody gets killed.
	And so they chose to fuck it, we'll let everyone get killed, and that's that.
	It's just not optimal.
	It almost sunk the company.
	Oh yeah, I remember.
	My grandmother had a Ford Pinto.
	She died of a heart attack, by the way.
	Not optimal.
	So, the central question is, it's not optimal when Americans die.
	It's not optimal.
	It's not optimal for my career.
	It's not optimal for my re-election campaign.
	It's just not optimal.
	And there's Jon Stewart.
	Jon Stewart, who everyone hails as, oh, I watch Jon Stewart because that's where I get my news.
	He's so funny.
	He's so funny.
	He's really, he's so cynical.
	He really shows me left, right.
	It's all the same thing.
	He's Sitting there going, uh-huh.
	Right.
	Uh-huh.
	He's got wood for the president.
	John, I'm so sorry.
	John Stewart, I've known you a long time.
	You're a dick.
	Really.
	You're just a dick.
	And I know the writers there listen.
	So, you know, play this loud when you're in your writers' meeting when he walks in and goes, oh, oh, I'm sorry, no, that's just Curry.
	You know, he was already, you know, that douchebag with the hair, remember from MTV? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Because he's just a dick.
	I mean, that's so lame.
	That is so lame.
	Well, he's not going to get him.
	You know, this is one of those things.
	This is the same kind of corruption that you have with the White House press corps.
	If Stewart actually followed up with the questions or if Stewart did anything, like call him out on any of the stuff that he said, including the one you just mentioned, Obama would never be on the show again.
	The ratings would drop for those easy bonus ratings that he probably gets the extra cash for.
	Oh, yeah.
	And Viacom would be irked at him.
	Yeah.
	He just works.
	This is the problem.
	I've mentioned it again.
	I say it every so often.
	This is the problem with commercial network television, even on cable, a problem that we don't have if we get the kind of support that we need from our listeners to just essentially help us continue this show by contributing directly instead of going out and buying a Lexus based on some commercial because we had a Lexus as a sponsor.
	We don't.
	That's, I think, there's just a perfect example.
	I'm sure Stewart kicks himself when he has to eat crap during these interviews.
	So the central question is, value for value, donate to no agenda.
	I'm going to show myself by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda.
	Go buy Alexa.
	Go buy Alexa.
	You'll get the hang of that eventually.
	Because right now you're hesitant.
	With Obama, he just blows right through it because he stammers.
	The central question is, he's donating to no agenda.
	It's good for, it's optimal.
	So we have a few people to thank.
	Let's thank him.
	Brad Doherty in New York, New York, 13736.
	Finishing off my knighthood with a 6969 swazzle in the 55-55 anniversary and a 12-12 donation.
	Looking forward to the next five years of hitting people in the mouth.
	And his name is Doherty.
	I think I keep pronouncing it.
	I think it's Doherty.
	No, he says right here, pronounced Doherty.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, then I stand corrected.
	It's normally Doherty.
	Right.
	I've known a number of Doherty's.
	But we will be knighting him today.
	That's nice.
	Jeffrey Wolf in Edmond, Oklahoma.
	1-11-11, double 5555.
	Feeling I need some karma for myself and family since one side of my family got wiped out this year.
	Oh, aunt, dad, and grandma.
	What?
	I've had a tough year, especially work is killing you with stress.
	Give him a karma.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Sounds like you need a double dose.
	You've got karma.
	I don't like that.
	Sir Jason Hoffman, whose part's unknown, he's in Gitmo Nation Pizza Pie, so I guess he's in Italy.
	I know it's been a while since my last donation.
	He donated $111.10.
	I was busy getting married right around the same time Adam and Mickey were getting married.
	I guess that makes us no agenda newlyweds.
	I wanted to wish the show a happy fifth and Adam and Mickey a happy marriage, so here's 111.1.
	I sent Adam an email not too long ago regarding Skype.
	And a proposition if you think it would help your connectivity issues, but it sounds like you guys may be sticking with mumble.
	Yeah, I have to say, thanks to Void Zero, I think we're, I mean, knock on wood, but I'm liking it today.
	Yeah, well, it comes and goes.
	Today's a good day.
	Anyway, except for the donations.
	Anyway, the multiple threats from even a handshake promise goes on.
	It's not optimal.
	The donations are not optimal, John.
	You have to say it the right way.
	The question is the donations are not optimal.
	The central question is the donations are not optimal.
	After multiple threats and even a handshake promise, boner Jordan Kunkel still refuses to donate.
	Give him a douchebag and two to the end.
	Give him an extra buzzer.
	You got him a buzzer, too.
	Wow.
	A douchebag buzzer, too.
	Big time.
	If by some miracle he actually donates during this episode, then you may de-douche him without apology.
	Please send me a best podcast and karma combo for my new family and keep up the great work you two are driving at home with one headlight.
	The best podcast in the new world!
	You've got car money.
	You see, the central question is, it's not optimal to be driving at home with one headlight.

	$85 recommended by John.
	Everyone who is interested in freedom and liberty should read this book.
	Hmm.
	Don't think it can't happen here.
	When our government provides our jobs, food, shelter, health care, and dignity, our government owns us.
	We need to take back our government this November 6th.
	Hold on a second.
	So it's Life and Death in Shanghai.
	And you would recommend that?
	Yes, on the show a number of times, at least twice.
	Oh, that's right.
	We have discussed this.
	I'm going to put it in the show notes.
	That's why I wanted to know.
	Yeah, it's a very, very good book, and it makes your skin crawl.
	So why don't we call it John's...
	John's book corner.
	He needs a karma shot for everyone who still stands on their own two feet.
	Mm-hmm.
	Hell yeah.
	You've got karma.
	John's book corner, right next to John's hobby corner.
	Uh-oh.
	Oh, no.
	Oops.
	69!
	69, dude!
	We're still up, huh?
	Yeah.
	So to speak.
	One, two, three, four.
	Four.
	It's getting back down to low numbers.
	Yeah, it's getting low.
	Okay.
	It's almost over.
	It's not going to hit 22, that's for sure.
	Black Knight, Bill Arkend, and Dracut.

	By the way, my town is pronounced Draycut.
	I personally refer to the Commonwealth as the People's Republic of Massachusetts nuts.
	Anyway, I see your reverse psychology methods in play, but I shall donate 6969 anyway.
	Really?
	Really?
	That's a reverse of the reverse.
	It is, which means we're moving forward.
	You're the best podcast in the universe.
	Fact!
	And hopefully the small donation will help keep the train on the tracks.
	No agenda listeners, do not let Dvorak and Curry win.
	Keep the Swazzle Nuff alive.
	Now, if you just tuned into this podcast for the first time, don't worry.
	It's okay.
	It'll all go away by itself.
	You don't need to know what that means.
	You don't need to know anything.
	Just let it, just absorb it as kind of a whole, as a, just feel the vibrations going through the body.
	Sir Marinoff in Eliso Viejo, California, 6969.

	The youngest Noah Gendonite is 4 months old today.
	Send him some growth karma, too.
	Aww.
	Aww, that's nice.
	For a basketball player.
	Look out, yeah, look out.
	Might be playing for the Knicks.
	Port Orchard, Washington's Brandon Savoy.
	Uh, 6969.
	Just received a check back from the local power company.
	139.38, which for those of you with calculators is exactly half, divided by two is exactly 6969.
	This must be a sign, so I sent half of it to get a MILF in the morning.
	Shout out to my girlfriend, Rebecca.
	Wow, that's cool.
	And thank you very much for paying attention to the numerology and sharing the love.
	MILF. That's one mother I'd like to.
	In the morning.
	Sir GQ, good morning man.
	Sir GQ6969. Donating and have my non-donating but true believing douchebag girlfriend Sheena Hershey de-douched.
	And a karma shot for the both of us.
	It's a birthday present for her on account of her birthday on the 22nd of October.
	Oh, absolutely.
	It's the gift that keeps on giving.
	You've been de-douched.
	Nothing like a karma for a birthday.
	You've got karma.
	And a de-douching.
	And that's the end of...
	Oh-ho.
	Oh-ho.
	Hey.
	Oh-ho.
	You know what?
	The jingle's not even...
	It's misfiring, which means it may be over.
	69!
	69, dudes!
	Yay!
	All right.
	Swazzle enough on the way out.
	On the way out.
	Retiring soon.
	And now, of course, in celebration of our fifth anniversary, the 26th of October, which is not a show day.
	The 25th is a show day, I believe.
	The 26th is a Friday.
	Yeah, that'll be the last opportunity for people.
	Yeah, so that's coming up, and that will be the end of it, probably the end of our donations for the 55-55, but we do appreciate you giving us some value for value in that, and we have a couple here.
	Not a couple is literally what it is.
	We have a good group.
	group.
	It's Sir Thomas Nussbaum, of course, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where there's only 5% unemployment, 55-55, which is 5-5-5-5%.
	Hey.
	Bernie Atima, Adama, in Hinton, Iowa, 55-55.
	In the morning, Adam and John, happy fifth to the best podcast in the universe.
	Here's a 55-55-55 in donation of your five years in the new Daylight Donut Shop.
	Third week open in Sioux City, Iowa.
	I'd like an Atlas shrugged, please.
	God's blessing to you both for the next five years.
	Thank you very much.
	This also immediately satisfies the second Atlas Shrug that Sir Gene Naftuliev asked me to play for his donation today.
	By And Rand.
	By And Rand.
	Steve Bussinger.
	Could be Bussinger, but I think it's Bussinger.
	In Erie, Colorado, 5555.
	Hail, citizens!
	Having a rough time so I could use some of that world-famous karma.
	Thanks for the hours of work you put into the show and the hours of entertainment you provide.
	I don't know what I'd do if no agenda ended.
	A friend of mine sent this to me, and I thought John might be interested in mentioning this possible reason why blacks hate, don't like gays, and then he's got a link, so I'll check it out later.
	All right, well, let's give you some karma, because that seems to be what you really need.
	You've got karma.
	Looking up all kinds of weird stuff.
	I've been looking at it.
	Philippe Villarreal.
	Or it could be Felipe, but I think it's Felipe.
	I think it would be Felipe.
	Felipe Villarreal.
	I like that name.
	San Antonio.
	5555.
	A college student running low on cash, but this donation is long overdue.
	There's a college student running out of cash and he donates.
	I'll be traveling to London, England for a study abroad trip.
	Soon, might make the trip over to the Saskatoon of France.
	Paris.
	Paris.
	That's a good twist.
	Any travel advisors for this long trip would be greatly appreciated if I can get a Paramanana.
	That's one hot milf baby karma.
	I'd be greatly appreciated.
	Keep up the great work.
	Okay.
	Yeah, we can do that.
	Where is it?
	Paramanana!
	That's one hot milf baby.
	You've got karma.
	You know, I recommend it to people, especially if they haven't been to France before, to get the Michelin Red Book for France.
	That thing is a goldmine.
	You can't get that on Kindle?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I was reading something very disturbing.
	I think it's better to have the book than it on Kindle.
	You like to flip through it.
	Now, this may help out our friend Felipe from San Antone.
	I was reading today in, I think it might have been Wall Street Journal, that there's a worldwide shortage of wine.
	Do you know anything about this?
	No.
	And I think I would.
	That's why.
	Let me just see.
	Who wrote this?
	Let me just see what the source is of this news.
	So, world faces a wine shortage equivalent to 1.3 bottles next year after production slumped in France, Italy, and Spain.
	Main suppliers, according to France's biggest wine cooperative...
	It's historic, Bertrand Girard, chief executive officer of Group Val d'Orbieu, said Thursday at a press conference in Paris, the Saskatoon.
	We're short of wine.
	We've never seen that in three or four decades.
	The global shortfall is expected to be at least 10 million hectoliters, about 264 million gallons.
	That volume would fill more than one billion standard-sized bottles.
	World production fell in the past decade, even as consumption rose.
	And then here's the pricing at the bottom of the article.
	There's already a scarcity of budget wines, which account for 80% of consumption, typically cost between 2 and 4 euros a bottle.
	The price of generic bulk wine in Spain has already jumped to 60 euros from 30 euros two years ago.
	So...
	I was planning on asking you, but since he's going to be in Paris, maybe you should stock up on some good wine if the prices are just going to rise.
	You can get better prices in the United States than you can in Paris.
	But do you think this is true, that there's a global shortage of wine?
	I know that the 2012 vintage is supposed to be a dog.
	So it's possible that there's something brewing.
	And they've been, you know, this is funny because the French about two or three years ago were demanding that some of these wine growing regions stop making so much wine and either dump the stuff into the sewer or make brandy out of it.
	Hmm.
	Well, bullies are them.
	Well, this is typical of the centralized economies.
	Anyway, well, I'll look into it.
	We'll have a report, right after the education report.
	Noel Vincente in Landing, New Jersey, no comment, 5555.
	Eric Bodenstab, Sir Eric to you, in Lauderdale, Minnesota, nuts, 5555.
	Andrew Gardner, Sir Andrew Gardner, sorry, Avenue, Maryland.
	No Agenda Racing Team.
	It's right.
	55, 55.
	Happy birthday to Elliot and Chris Gardner.
	And happy fifth to Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	Do we have...
	Oh, it's not a birthday.
	It's just an anniversary.
	Happy anniversary.
	Doug Thomas, no comment.
	Emmett, Idaho.
	Emmett, Idaho.
	Joel Rembach in McKinnon, Victoria.
	Or Melbourne.
	Melbourne.
	So he's in Melbourne.
	Melbourne.
	55, 55.
	Melbourne.
	I just made a 5555 donation to you to mark your upcoming birthday show.
	And just like my previous donation, around 427, PayPal, which normally has a big special notes to seller text box, where I presume we are to put our message was missing.
	On my previous donation, I mailed you, but it was not read on the show.
	I would like to wish you a happy fifth and many more and to wish Simon Elisha a belated birthday, April 30th, as he was the guy who hit me in the mouth and asked that you take all my donations and add them to his knighthood tally.
	I also want to call out Adam as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	What?
	For his general disdain of science.
	Science is in!
	Pushing against his arm with vials of colored liquid can cure his Tourette's syndrome.
	Hey, hold on a second.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	How does he know that it is vials of colored liquid?
	He doesn't know that.
	He hasn't been to my doctor.
	He has no idea if my applied kinesiologist...
	Should I tell you something?
	I feel pretty good.
	I'm not on any slave medication, but just in case, I'll be trying the hell doll.
	Because that is clearly what you think I should be doing, is taking the big pharma.
	Well, if you do have a point with big pharma, etc., etc., science and scientific method are more plausible than the charlatan you described.
	Charlatan!
	I'm going to tell them, hey, Dr.
	Rahm, you're a charlatan.
	And he's going to go, well, of course!
	It's funny because that's exactly how he talks.
	Danny Haynes in Greystans, New South Wales.
	Greystans.
	Greystans, I guess.

	Elliot Gardner in New York, Pennsylvania.
	In the morning, donating today to celebrate my one-year anniversary with the ex-cripple Krista and the no-agenda anniversary.
	Can you give us anniversary karma and a little girl saying yay?
	So, I remember, I know who Krista the cripple is.
	We met her at the Hot Pockets Tour last year in Chickshiny, Pennsylvania.
	So I hope she's no longer crippled because it was just a broken foot or broken ankle.
	So, yeah, let's see if we can do this for you.
	You've got karma.
	Yay!
	It's overmodulated at yay.
	Tristan Banning, Toronto, Ontario.
	Short and sweet, just some hey, Citizen Karma.
	Hey, Citizen.
	Hey, Citizen.
	You've got karma.
	Daniel Ehrlich in Bowlesburg, Pennsylvania, 5555 without comment.
	Timo Zuidema.
	Zuidema.
	Zuidema.
	No, Zuidema.
	Zuidema.
	Zuidema.
	There you go.
	Zuidema.
	Timo Zuidema.
	Good.
	Happy anniversary.
	We need more media deconstruction.
	Well, we can do what we can.
	Yeah, we provide as it comes.
	Lee Skarbik in Springfield, Pennsylvania.
	55, 55.
	Amy Johnson in Norfolk, Virginia.
	55, 55.
	I'd like to send Sir Nussbaum karma.
	There's a whole thing going on there in Virginia.
	We're the lowest unemployment in America.
	You've got karma.
	Curiously so.
	Yes, unbelievable.
	Derby Dyke.
	In Tucson, Arizona, no comment, 5555.
	Jason Simonin in Jeffstown, Goffstown, Goffstown, New Hampshire, great state.
	The free or die, 5555.
	Keep hitting them in the mouth and give all the contributors some huntsman karma.
	You've got karma.
	Remco Van Dyke in Harlem.
	5555.
	It's outside of Amsterdam.
	Nice little place.
	Thanks for the deconstruction.
	And I, a curry fan, since 1984.
	Howard, Sir Howard Gutnacht in Seattle, who I met with, nice guy, marketing genius, apparently, and he's retired on his laurels.
	Seattle, 55-55.
	Big congratulations on five years.
	Keep on pulling the wool out of our years and blinders out of our eyes and make it entertaining enough not to be depressing, which we do.
	Bite Fair in St.
	Louis, Missouri.
	Missouri.
	Missouri.
	Missouri or Missouri.
	This turns out not to be important.
	I've been a $4 a week subscriber for a long time, but after hearing the episode where you busted Panetta for reading bullcrap off of Wikipedia, I figured you guys deserve a nice tip.
	This is a good camera shot.
	We don't work for tips.
	We don't work for tips.
	Send a fuck cancer to one of the Goodwin family of Kentucky whose 13-year-old son died of a rare form of childhood cancer after beating it twice before.
	It's a sad story.
	Also, can you find it in your heart to give a free douchebag karma to all the douchebags on your birthday?
	Yeah, of course.
	Douchebag!
	Of course.
	Karma.
	Douchebag karma.
	No, I'm not going to give douchebag karma.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, just give them the...
	Okay.
	Well, it's up to you.
	You got the douchebag button.
	I got nothing to do with it.
	Perhaps they can be converted to non-douchebags if we give them more votes for Gary Johnson in the process.
	Love you guys.
	All right.
	Here it comes.
	Cancer.
	You've got karma.
	That's my new F-cancer song.
	John Schweitzer, Evansville, Indiana.
	5555.
	Happy anniversary.
	With more to come, love the show, and I mean it.
	No, he doesn't say that.
	He says, mean it by...
	I mean it by...
	There you go.
	Love you mean it.
	That's what it is.
	Love you mean it.
	See?
	It's like, you gotta say it that way.
	Oh, I get it.
	It's an L.A. kind of thing.
	No, it's not an L.A. kind of thing.
	It's not like it to me.
	No.
	Don't change.
	Stephen Rico in, or Ryko in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
	Karma for the kids and my MILF wife, followed by a huntsman and Chinese in the morning.
	You've got karma.
	Federico Borrego Escamilla in Mexico someplace.
	5555.
	In the morning from Gitmo Nation Taco, this is Federico Fritz Borrego.
	Listener since episode one, I wishing no agenda.
	Happy birthday.
	I cannot contribute what I'd like to, but as much as I can as possible and propagate the formula to keep the best podcast in the universe going.
	I'd like a de-douching and karma.
	And then he wants to know if we're ever going to be in Mexico to do a no agenda tour.
	No.
	There's never ever going to be a no agenda tour to Mexico.
	Sorry.
	Never ever.
	I don't want to get killed.
	You've been de-douched.
	I wouldn't mind going to Mexico City.
	It's a gorgeous place.
	Well, you know what's great?
	And you should go with Ms.
	Mickey, because she keeps saying, I've got to get you to Mexico.
	And I'm like, no, I don't want to go to Mexico, because people get killed there.
	I'm not going to Mexico.
	So you can go with it.
	Brucella in Melbourne, Victoria.
	5555.
	Five years of the best podcast in the universe.
	I plan to have a noagendanailclippers.com set up in time for your celebration, but failed.
	Oh, no.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, keep up the great work.
	It'd be great to hear John's biggest pee from the last five years followed by his jingle as a trade for some karma.
	Hold on a second.
	First of all, what a great idea for a product.
	No agenda nail clippers.
	But they have to be the big ones because John's clipping his toenails, you see.
	It's not just his hand.
	Yes, obviously.
	Click.
	Curse snip.
	Curse snip.
	I'm crying!
	What a horrible product.
	As we continue, as he goes nuts, Scott Fuller.
	He says he wanted a...
	Oh, give him some karma.
	Well, he wanted your pet peeve and then karma.
	I don't have a pet peeve for the last five years.
	It's something I happen to think about.
	Oh, there you go.
	You've got karma.
	My pet peeve is being mocked on the show.
	Scott Fuller, coming, Georgia.
	Thanks for the five years.
	Keep hitting people in the mouth.
	Pat Deary in Sarnia, Ontario.
	Happy anniversary of the best podcast in the universe.
	Ed David Simpson, Milton Keynes, someplace in the UK. Bucks.
	Bucks.
	Buckinghamshire.
	Thanks.
	Big bucks.
	Thanks for five years of entertainment and analysis that's sadly missing from the mainstream media.
	Long-lived.
	May the show continue.
	Can I have some house-moving karma?
	Yes, of course.
	Yes.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Zander Hotsbergen in Zandam.
	Zandam.
	55, 55.
	And it means there's a dam there, or was.
	Whatever.
	The Zandam. Zandam. Zandam.
	Reverse, exactly.
	It's not Zandam.
	It's Zandam.
	Zandam.
	Thank you.
	You got it.
	I'll never do that right again.
	Keep on going for at least another five years.
	In Warsaw.
	Good one.
	In the morning, Jakub Wojciak, I'm guessing.
	I think it's Wojciak.
	Jakub Wojciak, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Gitmo Nation Kielbasa here.
	I've been calling out, been called out as a douchebag on show 388 by Morrison Brzezinski.
	I can't stop thinking about donating.
	The shame is crushing me.
	So here it is.
	Spare the jingles and karma.
	I'm going to move to Vancouver, Canada with my family in a few months.
	Any tips for living there?
	Yes!
	Go to Alberta and steal the money.
	First of all, you'll like Vancouver.
	It's a very, extremely pleasant town.
	It gets cold in the winter, and it rains a lot.
	It's pretty much like Seattle.
	It's got a lot of cool culture, a lot of great restaurants, much better than anything in Washington State, I can assure you.
	And there's hookers all over the place.
	Oh, really?
	Wait a minute.
	You're telling me that there's good hookers in Vancouver?
	There's lots of hookers in Canada.
	Really?
	Hold on a second.
	Let me check this.
	There's a site that I would know.
	Here, go to eros-vancouver.com.
	I'm not going to anything.
	I'm just looking at the hookers.
	Let me see.
	Let me see.
	GFE, 19 GFEs.
	That's girlfriend experience.
	Okay, fine.
	Onward.
	Ned Jeffrey, Round Corner, New South Wales.
	Hello, Krakpata and Buzzkill.
	Nedwin from Sydney, Gitmo Nation down under, submitting my first drug donation to insert jingle here.
	To, no, whatever.
	Here's 5530 to celebrate your birthday and mine just passed.
	I'd like a D-douching to relieve me of my boner ways.
	Let's vote for jobs, yay!
	Karma, because I just got home from the holidays to find my...
	I sound like a Canadian now.
	A drunk Canadian.
	I'm starting to sound like a Canadian.
	Vancouver, you'll like it.
	Let's vote for jobs, yay!
	Karma, because I just got home from the holidays to find my company has been liquidated and I'm missing two months' pay.
	Boo!
	You've been de-douched.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Mr.
	Carl Barton in Dorodia.
	I guess he's in Japan.
	He's actually in Kegoshima, Japan.
	Maybe this donation will help you afford to make a landline phone call instead of using all this VoIP crap, which will never work.
	Asking for some brisk sales karma for work, the MacHest software bundle.
	MacHeist.
	MacHeist.
	Vaguely remember that.
	My God, this girl, Angel in downtown Vancouver.
	My goodness.
	He's smoking.
	Yeah, in call and out call.
	There you have it.
	Call her.
	So wait, wait.
	So she takes calls and she makes phone calls?
	Is that the deal?
	Is that what that means?
	I think so.
	Yeah.
	Soren Larson in Wildberg.
	Gitmo Nation, Little Mermaid.
	She's in Denmark.
	He.
	No, Soren.
	It's a...
	Oh, he.
	I think it's a he.
	Yeah, Soren is a he.
	Yeah, Soren is a male's name.
	Sorry, some of these names, especially with these crazy letters.
	Allow me to share an incident from a few weeks back.
	I was driving home from badminton, a noble sport, I might add.
	I should do it as I suspected he would be speaking.
	Allow me to share an incident from a few weeks back.
	I was driving home from badminton.
	A noble sport, I might add, listening to one of your donation segments.
	I stop at a red light, and just as John is wrapping up the donation segment and says, go to Dvorak.org slash NA, a truck drives by me with the word karma written in six feet tall letters on the side of it.
	Now, there is a blatant hint if I ever saw one.
	It was time for another donation, so here you go, double nickels on the dime.
	Any liked and donation credit toward Knighthood of Mikel Merch?
	With any luck, the small contribution of the best podcast in the universe will actually secure him a seat at the Prosperous Roundtable where he will enjoy the Rubenesque Women and Luxurious Rosé Wines.
	I've got to write that one down.
	Rubenesque Women and Rosé Wines.
	That's a good one.
	Please give him a slight whistle, Karma.
	Shout out, I do not have my whistle.
	And thank him for being a good friend and bearing with me through some of the rough times.
	It's much appreciated.
	Finally, thanks for the great show.
	Alright.
	You've got Karma...
	And then we have anonymous or nickname from some place with a bunch of Greek letters giving us $54.75.
	We appreciate that.
	That will be the end of our donation segment for show 454.
	A nice palidrome that was missed out on.
	And we do have 456 coming up next Sunday.
	Ooh, that's...
	456.
	Wow, that's a good one.
	So you could do 123456.
	Yeah, you could.
	How awesome would that be?
	Or you could do 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
	That would be better.
	You know, it doesn't matter.
	We'll be here.
	But, of course, by next Sunday's show, I will have my call letters.
	Oh yeah, and you can come on with your call letters.
	That's right.
	By the way, people out there can go to NoGenTheShow.com, NoGenTheNation.com, Dvorak.org slash NA is the main donation page, and also ChannelDvorak.com slash NA is a backup.
	So the central point is, John, it's not optimal unless you go to...
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Happy birthday, says Joe Rambaugh, belated that is, to Simon Alicia, whose birthday was on April 30th.
	And Sir GQ congratulates his girlfriend, Sheena Hershey.
	She celebrates tomorrow.
	Happy birthday from all your buddies here at the best podcast in the universe!
	It's your birthday!
	And then we have, well, one knighting for today.
	That was Doherty, right?
	Doherty?
	Doherty.
	Doherty.
	Oh, you already got your blade out.
	That's cool.
	Let me get mine.
	Hold on a second.
	Here we go.
	Brad Doherty, step forward, my friend.
	With your donation today, you have upped yourself into that exclusive club known as the Knights and Dames of the Noagent Roundtable.
	Thank you so much for providing the value in exchange for the value that we give you here on the best podcast in the universe.
	So I hereby pronounce the Sir Brad Knight of the Noagent Roundtable for you, my friend.
	We have hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay.
	We've got geishas and sake.
	We've got wenches and beer, hot pants and brews, and Rubenes women with rosé wines.
	This table, which is round.
	Rubenes women and rosé wines.
	Now, if that doesn't entice you, I don't know what will.
	How many 12-12 nights do we have?
	Do we have any?
	We have like one or two 12-12 nights?
	I think about five.
	Now, we're getting close to the 12-12 period, so we'll promote it more as we get closer.
	Yeah, well, it's already pretty darn close in my book, I would say.
	Well, there's also the other date.
	The end of the world date?
	Yeah, 12-21, 12-21.
	Right.
	I had a question for you, Jean-Claude, being the Wall Street commodities expert that you are, I'm sorry, the CBOE, the commodity exchange expert.
	Can you tell me what the price of sugar has done since President Obama came to reign over this land?
	I don't know.
	Is there a way to look?
	Yeah.
	Can you go to a place and tell me what...
	Because we've seen this consistent war on sugar.
	We've seen, I mean, in many facets, right up to Mayor Bloomberg of Nueva Yorka banning the sale of large sugary drinks, as you would call it, even though there's no sugar in them.
	That's essentially aspartame.
	Have you...
	Have the chart?
	Yes.
	No.
	No, I have nothing to do with it.
	I thought you would look at a chart.
	I'm asking you to look at a chart.
	Yeah, I'm working on it now.
	I just have to boot another machine because I refuse.
	Oh, very good.
	I have a chart here.
	No, no, no.
	I have a chart here.
	Okay.
	Ah, well then why are you asking me?
	Well, I just found one.
	Okay.
	When did President Obama become president?
	He became, what, at the end of 2008, right?
	So he started 2009?
	No, he started...
	When did he start?
	2009.
	January, yeah.
	January 2000.
	Okay, so I have here the price of sugar, U.S. cents per pound, December 2008, was $11.32.
	A pound?
	Yeah, it says sugar, monthly price, U.S. cents per pound.
	Cents.
	Well, the cents.
	I'm sorry, $11.32, not dollars.
	$11.32.
	Okay.
	And right after that, it went up, and when you see the chart, it's quite interesting, has gone all the way up to a high in March 2011 of 29.74.
	That is a tripling.
	Yeah, it's tripled.
	Tripled, more or less.
	And it has kind of stayed consistently at least double.
	Of what it was.
	Can we explain this?
	I mean, is this just because it's like gas and everything is doubled under Obama?
	Is that what I'm seeing here?
	Or do you think there's anything behind it?
	I don't know.
	You got me befuddled by this.
	You have some theory and I'm just waiting for it.
	Well, I think I have a...
	Yeah, I think I do have a theory.
	I think that...
	I don't know how you would manipulate a price of sugar, but obviously it's time for an alternative because this is the core ingredient of all things Gitmo.
	This is the core ingredient of, well, all kinds of sugary drinks, for example.
	Well, it hasn't really been in the United States for years, the core ingredient.
	I mean, let me ask you this, since you have this theory, I want to throw this in there, which is since in the United States, mostly because of the subsidies and whatever, most of the sweeteners used in almost all the sweet, sickening drinks, if it's not aspartame, which is the diet drinks, it would be high fructose corn syrup.
	And could you imagine that there might be a new one on the horizon?
	Oh, I would hope so.
	Well, I've got one for you.
	Is this one extracted from dung?
	No.
	It's actually even better than that.
	It is called Senomyx.
	S-E-N-O-M-Y-X. This month, it just received the GRASS determination from the FDA. That stands for Generally Recognized as Safe.
	And it has also been approved by the European Union.
	To be specific, Cinemax announces the approval of its Savory Flavors number S2383 flavor ingredient in the European Union.
	How do you spell that again?
	Because there's...
	I ended up with...
	Sierra Echo November Oscar Mike Yankee X-Ray.
	And here's the great thing about Cinemax.
	It is a...
	It's kind of like MSG. It does not...
	Ooh, Pepsi wants to use it right away.
	Yes.
	You're getting closer.
	It is made of DNA from aborted fetuses.
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, we knew that's what they were up to all along.
	And if you look into this...
	Where did you get that?
	This has been going around for a while, and it just got approved.
	But...
	I never heard the aborted fetus thing.
	Yes, it's a Dutch fetus, yes.
	It's soil and green.
	It's people.
	It is.
	It is.
	John, it is.
	It is.
	So they took DNA from, I think it's the liver or, no, wait a minute, let me just say, the kidneys.
	Kidney of an aborted human embryo from 1972, and it's the human embryonic kidney 2-9 or 3, known as HEK 2-9 or 3.
	It's a specific cell line, and when this stuff is put into sugary or sweet foods, it makes your brain think that That it's sweet even though they've put less sucrose in it.
	So it is like MSG where it is a drug tricking your brain into thinking that something's sweet.
	But really it's not a sweetener.
	It is a drug very much like MSG made from this HEK293 which is the human embryonic kidney DNA. I got you on that one, didn't I? Now I get to look into this.
	It's pretty funny.
	It's not funny!
	It's disgusting.
	Well, that too.
	So here's what I'm thinking.
	Sugar...
	I mean, everything...
	Too much of anything is not good in general.
	But sugar is, of course...
	Important.
	It's a source of energy.
	I'd like the Mexican Coke.
	If I have a Coke, which is not often, if I can get a Mexican one, which is with real sugar, I will drink it.
	Yeah, I prefer the Colombian Coke.
	Yeah, but you shouldn't be drinking that.
	But okay, you made it funny in the middle of my...
	Now you've like distracted me.
	The central issue is...
	Central question.
	The central question is...
	Sugar is being taken out of your diet to make you weak.
	And they are replacing it with kidney DNA of aborted fetuses.
	Enjoy that and have a...
	What a ghoulish operation we run in this country.
	Yeah, and Pepsi is going to use it.
	Okay, so since we're on this topic...
	This is the second half of the show, but this is pretty frightening.
	Pepsi is going to use it, and Pepsi comes up in this conversation, too.
	So I picked off a...
	You remember we talked about Proposition 37, which is a California proposition that will affect the whole country because it's a labeling proposition.
	And if you do it in California, you've got to do it everywhere, and it becomes worldwide.
	So this is important for all the listeners.
	So Prop 37 makes you have to...
	If something's got...
	GMOs, it has to be labeled as such or whatever, which is almost everything we eat.
	Now, do you remember the show?
	We did this about a month or a month and a half ago.
	I played a clip.
	I know I had the clip.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	I forgot to eat my aborted kidney sugar.
	I'm sorry.
	Don't, but you can listen to me.
	You're going to read the chat.
	I'm listening to you.
	I'm listening to you.
	I'm not reading the chat.
	I'm listening to you.
	I'm with you.
	We had the clip of these two people arguing about Prop 37.
	This one guy went on about something, and the other guy says, ah!
	He says, yeah, well, that's not the way it works, and I would like to find some evidence that Monsanto...
	He's ever contributed a nickel to the no on 37 thing.
	He says that.
	Remember that?
	I'm looking for the clip right now.
	I'd love it.
	If you could find that clip, it's your gold.
	I'll pull my clip of the day and give it to you.
	How would you label that if you were going to label that clip?
	Probably Prop 37 would be in there.
	37, asshole doctor or something like that.
	Okay, keep going while I look for that.
	Okay.
	So meanwhile, while you're looking for that, I saw this ad against Prop 37, which, by the way, begins with a false premise, and I'll explain that after you play the ad, which is no on 37 clip.
	Okay, here we go.
	As a doctor, it concerns me when families are given misleading health information.
	That's why I urge you to vote no on Proposition 37.
	37 proposes a food labeling requirement the American Medical Association called scientifically unjustified.
	Administering 37's complex regulations would waste millions of tax dollars that could be better spent on health programs.
	And 37 would increase grocery bills for California families.
	Please join me in voting no on 37.
	Thank you.
	So they have a bunch of stooges doing these ads all over California.
	And this one, she says, what bothers me is when people give misleading...
	Health information.
	Right.
	This is a labeling law.
	It's not giving information about anything except what's in a can, right?
	Where's the misleading health information in this story?
	Okay, that's beside the point.
	The real point is that the very end of the ad, they play at one of those little blurbs.
	They play like when they sell cars, you know.
	Yeah, a little disclaimer.
	Yeah, a little disclaimer.
	So I wrote it down.
	I stopped.
	I have an HD so you can see, read it.
	I can actually read it.
	Paid for no on 37, coalition against a deceptive food labeling scheme.
	Sponsored by farmers, food processors, and grocers.
	Major funding by Monsanto Company.
	E.I. DuPont, Nemures, Bayer Crop Science, Syngenta Corporation, Grocery Manufacturers Association, GMA, and more...
	And more of the following companies as members, which includes, and I think these are the grocery manufacturer members.
	They just listed these companies.
	But again, Bumblebee, Bungee, Cargill, which my wife detests that company.
	Cargill?
	They've taken over the meatpacking of the world.
	They're the ones that are causing the shutdown of small independent butchers.
	ConAgra, and by the way, which is a huge disaster.
	People should buy their meat on the hoof and take it to a butcher and demand they stay in business.
	ConAgra, General Mills, Hershey, Kellogg's, Kraft Foods, McCain Foods, Nestle's, PepsiCo, Rich Products, Soleil, S-O-L-A-E, never heard of them, LLC, and Smuckers.
	Those are your people.
	And Monsanto is at the top of the list.
	So how does that relate to drinking aborted fetus kidney?
	Pepsi was listed.
	There you go.
	I wish I could find that clip.
	I can't.
	I'll see if I can find it.
	I'll look for it myself.
	But it just bugged me that this guy says that.
	And I did try to find it.
	I couldn't find it.
	Then this comes out and there it is.
	By the way, so...
	Okay, go on.
	Well, so I think that this is...
	I feel this is more coordinated, and it seems, just listening to your entire monologue there, that a lot of this is coordinated and set up.
	And to me, when you have...
	The price of sugar, for no apparent reason, tripling...
	And by the way, on the day the president took office, the price of sugar shoots up and has never come down to anywhere near the level it was before he went in.
	On the day.
	There must have been some...
	Everybody must have known about something that the president had agreed to behind closed doors.
	It's the only possibility.
	And we've only seen the war on sugar.
	We've had the whole...
	It's been a continuous war on sugar.
	We've been tracking it.
	If you go to search.noagenda or nashunners.com and do war on sugar, it's just tons of it.
	And here we go.
	Now approved.
	And just in the past week, in the European Union and in the United States, we have this Centimix and Pepsi's all over it.
	And it's made from aborted fetus kidney.
	So, you know...
	And I think it's really sad.
	You know, you should just go eat a sugar cube right now because you're going to need it.
	In time for Halloween.
	Just in time for Halloween.
	Why don't they skip the processing and just package dead babies or a aborted fetus kidney?
	Can you imagine?
	We could just call them kidneys.
	They're sweet and good for you.
	Have a kidney.
	I'm liking it.
	Hmm.
	Not good.
	No, but keep your eye on that one because there's something going on with that.
	We missed the big one, John, and this was on Thursday.
	No, the 19th.
	Yeah, it was the 19th Thursday.
	We missed it.
	Well, we probably missed a few things.
	What is this one?
	We missed Going Purple.
	Going Purple.
	Oh, yeah.
	That never took off.
	It was Going Purple for Spirit Day.
	I... I thought it was going purple for some other reason.
	No, I'm looking at whitehouse.gov.
	Oh, are they the ones behind it?
	Yeah.
	Because I saw it on the Twitter feeds.
	I saw two people, a couple of people say, hey, change your icon to purple for some reason or other.
	There it is.
	So it's on the White House blog.
	The celebration to honor and support young people who have been victims of...
	Bullying...
	Right, right, right.
	So you're supposed to wear colorful gay purple so you won't get bullied.
	I'm reading from the blog post.
	It has become a day when people the world over rally for LGBT community and speak out against the bullying of LGBT teens.
	And this year, the White House is once again going purple online.
	Does anybody think that this is to gays...
	We have gay listeners.
	Isn't this kind of a disgusting stereotype, this purple thing?
	Yeah.
	No, it's about gay, so let's go purple.
	And normally, gay is pink.
	Well, pink or purple, I don't care.
	Or mauve.
	Lavender.
	I mean, it's bullcrap.
	Let's go lavender for gays.
	Lavender for lesbians, everybody.
	I think it's stereotyping.
	I think it's got everything.
	It's stereotyping.
	Yes, sir.
	Lavender for lesbians.
	That's something I could get behind, actually.
	Well, that's you.
	Lavender for lipstick lesbians.
	You can check our Twitter feed or our Facebook page to see how we're making the day or marking the day and take part by making your social networking icon purple or adding a statement of support.
	Well, I didn't see this take off at all.
	You can go to StopBullying.gov.
	How about StopChangingYourIconColor.gov?
	Have we ever been to StopBullying.gov?
	Have we ever checked this website out?
	I'm sure it's not an $18 million website.
	Go check it out.
	Hold on, it's not really responding.
	We've swamped the website, I think.
	Probably running off of it.
	You have to do www, otherwise it doesn't work.
	What?
	Yeah.
	What is bullying?
	Cyberbullying.
	Who is at risk?
	Prevent bullying.
	Respond to bullying.
	Oh, this is great.
	This is a great website.
	Assess bullying.
	Oh, do we have a test?
	Assessments, such as surveys, can help schools determine the frequency and locations of bullying behavior.
	It's like ham radio operators.
	They can determine the frequency and locations of bullying behavior.
	Hold on a second.
	You have the right equipment.
	John, can you assess the frequency?
	Do you have the frequency and the location?
	That's true.
	You know what we've got to do?
	You've got to hook up your rig, and I'll hook up my rig, and then I'll talk to you through the rig, and it'll come back through your microphone.
	How cool will that be?
	Yeah!
	Yeah!
	Alright, I've got to look at that site later.
	There's too much going on there.
	Too much going on.
	So that wasn't the only celebration.
	Well, do we want to talk about the FEMA camps?
	Do you have something on the FEMA camps?
	Well, no.
	The FEMA has this new children brigade that they're putting together.
	Oh, really?
	And they just graduated their first class.
	Oh, really?
	I missed that.
	Yeah, I'm trying to find my link to it.
	Do you have a link on that somewhere?
	Really?
	Look up FEMA volunteers or something like that.
	Volunteer graduation?
	Yeah.
	Do they have a prom?
	Yeah.
	No, there's no dancing allowed.
	Federal government graduates first class of homeland youths.
	Oh!
	Yes, homeland youths.
	It's the Hitlerjugend.
	Totally.
	Let's see.
	First class of 231 homeland youth kids, age 18 to 24, recruited from the President's AmeriCorps volunteers.
	Oh, this is great.
	Do we have video?
	Welcome to the FEMA Corps inaugural class.
	Fantastic, John.
	But there's no video on it.
	No, there was actually, there was one piece of video, I didn't clip it, because it was pretty dull, of the guy thanking them for joining and how important it's going to be for them to carry on during disasters.
	And it's all part of Homeland Security's.
	I think it's called Civilian Corps, which is another one of these things, which is for older kids.
	So you have something to aspire to.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Yeah, this is totally the young communist Russia, the Hitler Youth, only this is called the Napolitano Youth.
	I sent you a link.
	Of two signatures.
	Yes, and I put them in the show notes under JCD Clip so people will be able to find it easily.
	And it's a signature of...
	Hold on a second.
	Of Arnie...
	Hold on.
	I have the video of Obama's youth.
	There you go.
	Hey, they're marching.
	Hey.
	They're happy.
	Do they sing?
	No, no singing.
	Forward, forward, with Obama now!
	Forward, forward, we love the homeland!
	Okay.
	They should call them the Obama youth.
	So, uh...
	So, yeah, these two signatures.
	Now, tell me that these aren't two signatures of what appear to be people with brain damage.
	Have you ever seen either prisoner signatures or people with brain damage signatures?
	Now, hold on.
	Have you been watching a documentary or did you read a book or something about the signature analysis?
	This didn't come out of the blue.
	Yeah, I... Yes.
	Okay.
	See?
	I'm telling you, these are two signatures.
	These people have some mental issues.
	People can go look at these signatures for themselves and tell me if you think these people are normal.
	Whose signatures are they?
	I'm going to tell you.
	First of all, I'm giving the chat room the link so that they can...
	I think this will work.
	There we go.
	The chat room gets the link so they can participate.
	So it's Arnie Duncan, Secretary of Education, and Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Obama Youth.
	And I'm looking at...
	So Janet looks like her signature is almost like Jatt.
	Jatt and Prampton.
	Unless she's French, that signature is horrible.
	But Arnie Duncan's looks like a 10-year-old did it.
	Yeah, it's kind of, it looks like he's trying to draw a caricature of something, like of two water heads.
	Can you read either of those two signatures?
	I mean, and they're not stylish.
	It's not like they're jazzy signatures that you can't read.
	These are signatures that look like they're trying to write.
	I believe that neither one of them can write in cursive.
	So let's go to, let's cut to the chase here, because you read a book, you saw a documentary, and you have clearly analyzed these two signatures.
	Is this from the book, or did you just grab these at random?
	No, I saw this on one.
	One of the documents, one of these Hitler, I'm sorry, Obama youth documents, they had signed off on this thing, these two.
	They have something to do with it.
	And I said, oh my God, these signatures are horrible.
	And then I referred back to my expertise in signature analysis and decided that I should mention it on the show.
	Okay, so...
	That's it!
	Well, could you then summarize it by telling us, what have you learned from the signature of Arnie Duncan and Janet Napolitano?
	They're two psychos.
	But can you define just like insane, megalomaniacs?
	I wouldn't trust them in a dark room, let's just put it that way.
	You would not hire them is what you're saying, ever.
	No, I would never.
	No, no.
	If anyone had those two signatures, I would never hire them in a million years.
	And luckily there's no law against that yet.
	Well, I look forward to the FEMA Region 6 Hitler Youth Graduation.
	They'll probably have a prom.
	Which consists of dressing up in snappy uniforms, brown shirts with armbands, We need armbands.
	I've always thought the Obama logo would look terrific on an armband.
	So, of course, we're wrapping up Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
	We still have about 10 days left to go.
	And we've been all over this.
	We've been very, very pleased with how everyone is scaring business and consumers.
	I think the media has done a great job.
	And, of course, the commercial media has been doing...
	But we also see that our national treasure of public broadcasting, this is the one that we want to save because they are completely independent of anything, anything at all.
	Don't watch the ads.
	Completely public, which means they're good.
	It's good food for you.
	They wrap up Cybersecurity Month with a 15-minute piece.
	I have chopped it down into three small, small chunks.
	First, an introduction, which is basically a wrap-up of everything that has happened so far in Cybersecurity Month.
	They turn to a new cyber campaign against American banking giants and growing worries about what they might foreshadow.
	It began late last month and continues to this day.
	Two more U.S. banks are the latest targets in the spate of cyber hits on American...
	Cyber hits, John!
	I've got to stop this one.
	Cyber hits.
	They took out a hit, baby.
	It's a cyber hit.
	Oh, we're getting cyber hit.
	Financial institutions.
	This week, Capital One and BB&T suffered disruptions on their websites, leaving customers without access to their accounts.
	A group calling itself the Qasem Cyberfighters claim responsibility and said the attacks are in retaliation for an anti-Muslim video.
	Oh, really?
	Now remember, they're summarizing the entire month.
	So, you know, of course, this was written in preparation for the celebration of Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
	And they kind of threw that Muslim video thing in.
	You know, it's as if somebody paid...
	For the idea about the Muslim video and they just want to get their money.
	It's like they went to a consultant.
	They came up with a story.
	What's our ROI on this on this puppy?
	Yeah, we got to mention it more.
	We got gypped on that video, man.
	What's our return on investment?
	But some U.S. officials, like Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, blame the recent uptick of attacks on Iran and its elite security force.
	Elite security force.
	I just want to point out, it is the elite security force.
	This is PBS. This is a serious news organization reporting Joe Lieberman, who doesn't even say the word elite does not come into his mouth.
	They are calling it the elite cyber force.
	He spoke last month on C-SPAN. I think that this was done by Iran and the Quds forces, which has its own developing cyber attack capacity.
	Developing cyber attack capacity.
	Oh, I'm hard.
	I believe.
	It was a response to the increasingly strong economic sanctions.
	Also blamed on Iran, recent hits on Saudi Arabia's state oil company Aramco and Qatar's natural gas producer Rosgas that disabled 30,000 computers entirely.
	And Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned last week that the threat to America's vital infrastructure throughout is rising.
	The collective result of these kinds of attacks Could be a cyber Pearl Harbor.
	Woo!
	An attack.
	Okay.
	Now, I know lots of...
	Now, what is different about this than what we've already played in the Pearl Harbor episode?
	Hold on a second.
	Just chill, okay?
	Just chill.
	Here's what's different.
	First of all, we're ahead of the game.
	We...
	By weeks.
	Thank you.
	So we played it.
	We played a significant amount of the cyber Pearl Harbor, a cyber 9-11 attack.
	That's not on PBS, John.
	I know lots of people, smart people.
	He's my uncle.
	I know Uncle Don and Aunt Meg.
	They watch PBS. They're going to be sitting there going...
	Damn.
	The Iranians, they're coming for us.
	There's cyber attack.
	They got elite troops.
	You know, these people, you and I understand this type of thing.
	We have grown up in a different era where we've grown up with the technology.
	We know what's bull crap.
	We smell bull crap a million miles away.
	Most people trust PBS. They trust it.
	And they're like, wow, we're under attack.
	This is very, very serious.
	We have the Secretary of Defense talking about a cyber 9-11, a cyber Pearl Harbor.
	Okay?
	So this is a big deal for this to be on PBS. These bullcrap lies.
	I didn't know he could code in Pearl.
	So the way you underscore this is by bringing on a couple of experts and then to have a conversation about it so we can really stick the knife in to get people to really, really believe in this crap.
	And for more, I'm joined by Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center from 2008 to 2011.
	This is the guy who got kicked out because he made some sense, but he's really shitting.
	But that's not the guy I want to focus on.
	It's the other guy at the table.
	And Rodney Jaffe, Senior Vice President at Newstar, an information services company that provides cybersecurity for private and government clients.
	Now, really?
	It's a commercial.
	Okay.
	What's it called?
	Newstar?
	Newstar?
	Really?
	When you go on, I'm going to mention something.
	I should have a disclaimer in here.
	Yes?
	I know Rodney Jaffe personally.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	How do you know him?
	I've known him for, I don't know, 20 years.
	In his cyber star capacity?
	He's always, he has run, you know, he's always got some other businesses.
	He's always in some, I think, I don't know that.
	He's a scammer!
	Yeah, but he's a very knowledgeable scammer.
	He's not like a dumb guy.
	Well, hold on.
	This is very interesting because I was watching this guy.
	No, he's not dumb at all.
	But I was watching him sell.
	He's a salesman.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's an ultimate salesman.
	And I literally said to myself, I should bring up on the show that the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group should be working with these guys because we could become 100 millionaires.
	Just listen to the bull crap he's spouting.
	Listen to it.
	In 2009, he designed a scenario for a government exercise in how to defend against cyber attacks.
	A false flag is what he designed.
	Yeah, I've actually...
	I know about all this stuff.
	Well, hold on.
	This is the danger.
	Well, first of all, Mr.
	Jaffe, banks have tried to defend themselves, yet they were really outgunned in this case.
	What does that tell you about the growing level of sophistication of these hackers?
	So, as Michael has said...
	The banks really are the best prepared.
	That's where the money is.
	And so they've been working for many years, and as a sector, they're very well prepared.
	What's different about this is that the people behind the attack, whoever that may be, were very, very knowledgeable about how the Internet worked.
	And so what they've been able to do is, on an almost day-by-day basis, overcome the defenses and sort of take an extra step forward.
	And so even though there was warning, in fact, almost all of the banks have had days or weeks of warnings, They announced it, right?
	They announced it in a public post, even though that was in place.
	It was very difficult for the banks to defend themselves.
	Now, so he, first of all, he's lying, because it is not very, very difficult.
	It's a denial-of-service attack, and if you're working with your ISP and you're working with a number of different entities, there are many ways to circumvent a denial-of-service attack, specifically if it is announced ahead of time.
	But that's not in the bank's interest, you see.
	And that's not in anyone's interest because we need to have all kinds of money-making schemes of which your friend Joffrey, Joffy, Jokey, he's a part of it.
	And I would like to recommend, John, that you give him a call.
	I think I will.
	And tell him that the Curry...
	We can use the money.
	Curry Devorak Consulting Group is extremely interested in working with the...
	What was it?
	White Star?
	Cyber Star?
	I never heard of him.
	Star?
	Death Star?
	Every time you go to some new company, I usually get a call.
	We want to work with this Death Star Computing Company.
	Death Star Computing Company.
	Because we can make a killing on this stuff.
	All right, so I'm going to wrap it up now.
	And this is funny.
	You'll hear in this, this is so much a commercial that the guy who used to be the cyber intelligence director, he messes up the promotion.
	Oh no!
	And the PBS woman helps him out!
	Which of America's adversaries out there, Michael Leiter, have this technological know-how or are on the verge of it of being able to mount systemic attack?
	Now, this is a very easy question.
	She's setting him up.
	Can you see the alley-oop?
	I know, man.
	Softball.
	It's an alley-oop.
	All he has to do is just jump on the trampoline and tap it in.
	So, can he do it?
	I mean, is it countries like Russia, China, Iran?
	Is it...
	Is he giving him the answers?
	Is it criminal elements?
	Is it...
	What is the correct answer?
	Well, it's all of the above, obviously.
	That's the correct answer.
	That's the...
	That's the slam dunk.
	Jihadis who...
	I'll start with ones who are actually not that great, and that's terrorist groups.
	Although they have some capability, they're not The next is organized crime.
	And organized crime, largely out of Russia, has really incredible sophistication.
	And that then links to the state threats.
	And by far the most able in that regard are China, which has been identified as a serious national security policy of using cyberterrorism or cyber theft, and Russia.
	The other issue we face is that those hackers are also being rented out by states and by others.
	Oh, oh, oh, oh!
	What has happened here, John?
	What has happened?
	It seems like the guy went off the track and failed to mention Iran.
	So we have an alignment of interests here among some states and some organized criminals, which makes this threat that much more difficult to defeat.
	And you didn't mention Iran.
	I didn't mention Iran, and I should have, so thank you.
	He didn't mention Iran because he knows that there's no threat from them.
	Right, but then he said, but thank you.
	He, unfortunately, was telling what he knew, and then, oh, I forgot about the script.
	I forgot the script.
	Listen.
	The CEO of PNC Bank, one of those banks that was attacked over the past couple of weeks, blamed hackers in Iran for this most recent attack.
	He forgot the script.
	But she's so helpful.
	Because, of course, she's getting in her ear.
	She's getting like, You know, you forgot Iran.
	That's pretty funny.
	That's a good catch.
	That would be a clip of the day.
	No, we can't have two clips of the day.
	I know.
	And on this show, we probably have opportunities for 10.
	But can you call Jaffe?
	Yeah, I'll call Jaffe.
	Is his name Jaffe or Jaffe?
	What's his name?
	Jaffe, as far as I remember.
	You should just say, hey.
	Hey, man.
	Hey, man.
	You're making money again.
	How you doing, man?
	You're making some dough over there.
	You're making some bank.
	We need some of it.
	So I do have a clip that I want to play.
	Sure.
	Which is, I'll set it up first.
	The clip is drones on SVU. So I'm wondering what's going on.
	Law and Order's been kind of killed, and there's one lousy SVU show left, and they're bringing in some of the old hacks from some of the other shows.
	And so they brought in this woman from Special Victims Unit, who used to be partners with D'Onofrio, and they made some...
	Some comments about that.
	And she's in some woman's face who's a domestic terrorist, but actually she came over, like, as a Palestinian or something.
	I only caught the end of the show, but all I needed to catch was the end of the show, because there was this very interesting little tirade that it's hard to understand, because the acting is, again, mediocre, and this woman's putting on some Middle Eastern accent that I've never heard before.
	She sounds like anything but someone from the Middle East.
	But there's a message here that I said, Whoa!
	This is coming off of NBC. This is weird.
	Don't you think they should understand?
	Don't you want them to understand?
	My father was a doctor.
	A drone struck some people near where we lived.
	My father went to help.
	To tend the wounded.
	He was not a fighter.
	He was trying to save lives.
	Stop the bleeding.
	The double tap.
	And then...
	another drone hit.
	Your government targets the rescuers.
	It is standard.
	Policy.
	My father, he was blown into pieces.
	We buried the vans we could find.
	So you came here?
	This is where the drones came from.
	Okay, first of all, wow!
	This is the drone double tap that everyone's been talking about, and these shows, they're produced...
	Yeah, now it's on television.
	But they're produced and written months, if not sometimes a year in advance.
	And now they time it out so we have the drone double tap right when everyone's talking about the drone double tap?
	Wow!
	Isn't that odd?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	The drone again.
	Naturally.
	No, no, no.
	It's not odd.
	It's just all part of a drone again.
	Naturally.
	Have you been singing the song, John?
	Have you been singing it?
	Actually, luckily I got it out of my system because it sounds like a Beatles song, which my brain rejects.
	It's not a Beatles song.
	It's Gilbert O'Sullivan.
	A drone again.
	Naturally, you'll be singing it.
	It sounds Beatles to me.
	And every single time you sing the song, every single time you sing the song, you have to think, I have to donate to no agenda.
	I have to donate.
	A drone again.
	Donate now.
	Wow, good one.
	I don't know what the message is there.
	I mean, I think it is planted, and it's educational.
	It's funny, the whole clip, when it goes on, it's just weird.
	It was a weird, very weird clip, and a very weird show.
	Well, that's very interesting.
	I'm trying to think where to go with this.
	I mean, there's something going on in your neck of the woods.
	It's kind of a long clip.
	It's like two minutes, but it's about drones in San Francisco.
	Are you interested?
	Oh, there goes one now.
	...used in military combat, but now aerial drones are being considered by local law enforcement.
	Why?
	As a costly way to use technology to fight crime and save lives.
	Oh, to save lives!
	...live in Oakland with the details, and Stephanie, there are fears that the use of these drones could be an invasion of privacy.
	Now, you have to know, so she is standing in the parking lot of Oakland Airport, which makes no sense.
	Janelle, that's right.
	Concerns over privacy and civil rights.
	Now, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office is the one bringing this idea up, and I have to say it is very preliminary at this point.
	But here is a picture of a drone that they tested just two months ago, that the office tested two months ago.
	A handful of law enforcement agencies in the country have gotten federal approval to use these drones, and if Alameda County Sheriff's Office does so, it would be the first in California.
	You'd be able to see what the drone is seeing as it's flying.
	At four pounds and four feet wide, this drone gets a bird's eye view that tactical officers on the ground are often blind to.
	It can save our lives.
	In this demonstration at the county's Office of Emergency Services building in Dublin, it's a man standing in the shadows on a rooftop.
	Three possible explosives in his reach.
	Near priceless.
	It's very valuable to any type.
	Yeah, keep listening because there's some important information.
	Keep listening because I'm going to give you a website in a minute.
	As you're setting up your perimeters and knowing what the suspect may have in his hands, how the suspect is dressed, what are the avenues of escape.
	Alameda County Sheriff Greg Ahern says his office would only use the drone during emergencies.
	Pursuing a suspect on foot or pursuing a vehicle in an area or search and rescue or disaster.
	And for proactive policing, like catching marijuana fields on public lands.
	They do have infrared capacity.
	And in growhouses.
	One of the most valuable assets, a live video feed.
	To be able to see what the drone is seeing as it's flying.
	But not everyone's a fan.
	The ACLU wants drones only deployed when there's a warrant and is worried they might hurt privacy and people.
	Drone manufacturers are also considering offering police the option of arming these remote-controlled aircraft with weapons like rubber bullets, tasers, and tear gas.
	Sheriff Ahern says an armed drone is out of the question.
	Adding local agencies need to capitalize on innovation.
	I think it is a no-brainer.
	In two weeks, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office is hosting Urban Shield.
	That's a preparedness exercise involving about 30 local law enforcement agencies, and they will be testing out a couple of drones to see how they do in real-life situations.
	Okay.
	Now, go to urbanshield.org.
	Because this is now taking place in your town, urbanshield.org, and you will see, once you've looked at it, that this Urban Shield, which is, they're going to have these, it's basically going to be flying drones.
	Ooh, I can be a volunteer!
	Yes, you can.
	This is a military-industrial complex sales show.
	Oh, yeah.
	Look at it.
	Urban Shield 2012, title sponsor, 5.11 Tactical Series.
	You see the banner?
	Go to 511tactical.com.
	I don't see that.
	It's a huge banner!
	How can you miss it?
	I don't have that banner.
	Okay, you go to urbanshield.org.
	Oh, this one, yeah.
	It's huge.
	Title sponsor.
	Look at it.
	5.11.
	Always be ready.
	Anyone who has a pair will tell you how great they are.
	Yeah.
	This is a sales show.
	Buy any two tactile light pro pants or shorts.
	Get clothes.
	And receive a free ATAC A1 flashlight.
	$34.95 value.
	But go to the vendors tab.
	Promo code have a pair.
	Go back to urbanshield.org and go to sponsor registration.
	I'm sorry.
	What is it?
	The vendor show.
	It's a vendor show.
	I mean, the whole thing is just to sell crap to police stations.
	Yeah, because they got all this extra money from Homeland Security.
	They got to spend it somewhere.
	Yes.
	It's unbelievable.
	This is so disgusting.
	How are you going to go to this?
	It's going to be over your head, man.
	I want to see what the Hazmaster G3 actually does.
	Where do you see that?
	The Hazmaster G3 is a product of Alluvium.
	Where's that?
	It's on the list of the vendors.
	Oh, let me check.
	I clicked on the vendors.
	They've got Adamson Police Products, Aplanix, Alluvium, Athenix.
	It's a San Diego-based woman-owned surveillance and incident management custom solution provider.
	How about Black Diamond Tactical?
	ATK Black Hawk, established market leader in sporting and law enforcement ammunition.
	Avon Protection, Black Diamond Tactical.
	There's 20 pages of these things.
	Yeah.
	Let's go to the end and see what we got.
	The Ed Jones Company.
	Oh, a company that makes badges.
	Cisco is in there, too.
	Cobalt.
	Cult law enforcement.
	This is huge.
	This will be fun.
	Yeah, you should go.
	I'm getting a press pass and going to this.
	Where is it?
	You can be a volunteer.
	It's all over.
	Screw that.
	You can be a volunteer.
	Come on, be a volunteer.
	I don't want to be a volunteer.
	I'm just going to go take some photos and leave.
	Okay.
	October 26th.
	Urban shoes.
	That's our birthday.
	You can celebrate our birthday with a drone.
	Is there going to be an exhibition or what?
	I can't figure this out.
	Isn't this awesome?
	Good catch.
	And just as we wrap it up here, let's check in with one of our favorite elites and let's see what is going on in the world of Hillary Clinton, better known as Lucifer Clippity Clop.
	The message is clear.
	Where could she be?
	Where's she going?
	All right.
	Happy Friday.
	I know that Matt has a date this afternoon, so we will get right to it.
	Toner's got a really big mouth.
	He does.
	He does.
	I love Toner's big mouth.
	They have so much fun there at the State Department.
	Okay, I have a couple of things at the top.
	As most of you know, the secretary is traveling to northern Haiti on Monday, October 22nd.
	Oh!
	The hotel!
	What could she be doing in northern Haiti?
	The site of the hotel in northern Haiti where there's nobody.
	She clearly must be, let me think, she must be visiting with the people, the 300,000 people who are still in tents eating dirt cakes, who have cholera.
	Site check.
	Site check.
	We have cholera and elephantitis.
	This is her first trip to the north of Haiti.
	She will be delivering remarks on a new day in Haiti at the formal opening of the Caracol Industrial Park.
	Oh, we're going to see how the slaves are doing.
	We've got our little industrial park there.
	Okay, that's one.
	Which showcases the region's achievements in agribusiness, energy, light manufacturing, tourism, and artisan crafts.
	Artisan crafts, John.
	Artisan crafts.
	I gotta go there.
	She will be hanging out with some basket weavers.
	She'll also be visiting a nearby housing site, which is under construction, and a recently completed power plant.
	While there, she'll meet with President Martelli, Prime Minister Lamont, local officials, and she will be accompanied by Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis.
	Yes, to get the little slaves working.
	You know, they're black slaves, which is even better.
	Yeah, makes more sense.
	What a horrible, horrible, horrible bunch of elitist pricks these people are.
	Yeah, she's going to go check the hotel site and look at some artists and crafts.
	So I can already see the package, right?
	Can you bring back some key fobs made by the locals?
	You can just see her sitting there with, like, someone who's made a pot.
	It's so wonderful.
	You know, who's a clay pot.
	A pot...
	Fired and made from dung.
	People, there are still over 300,000 people in Haiti living in tents, eating dirt cakes, they have elephantitis, and cholera.
	Okay?
	Do not be fooled by this.
	This is funny.
	Well, not funny.
	It's sick.
	Yeah, this is actually...
	I only have one last clip.
	My ongoing pet peeve is what that is.
	Yes, and it's a good one, by the way.
	I think you should stay with it.
	I will.
	Because it's so easy.
	It's not easy.
	It hurts me.
	It always hurts me.
	I'm talking about easy to find because they like to throw it in your face.
	Oh, yeah.
	True, true, true, true, true.
	I don't know if anybody knows, or our media doesn't talk about it, but the Peruvian medical establishment in Peru has been on strike for five months.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, their doctors have all given up.
	And I was listening to this report on the Peruvian doctors on strike that was on one of the, I think it may have been on China.
	Whatever the case, I was thinking, well, with the kind of pay, this is where, I don't want to say Obamacare is going to lead to this, And it doesn't seem to happen in a lot of places.
	But I think these doctors are slightly...
	I mean, this is a vibrant economy.
	This is part of the world trade and the rest of it.
	I think the doctors in Peru are being slightly underpaid.
	...with striking doctors who are demanding higher salaries.
	The government is under pressure as the walkout of 11,000 doctors enters its fifth week.
	CCTV's Dan Collins reports from Lima.
	This square in the capital's centre was a sea of white, as hundreds of doctors took to the streets.
	The government is to blame, they say, for their dismal wages, despite having a record fiscal surplus.
	For more than a decade now, Peru has been growing.
	It's the most dynamic economy in the region, but in all that time, these doctors say they've never received a pay rise.
	Working in the public sector, doctors' wages start at around $300 a month.
	Even the most senior physicians earn little more than $1,500.
	I left university 12 years ago and I haven't had a single pay rise.
	We can't live like this anymore.
	Many of our colleagues are parents and this salary which the state pays us is not enough to make ends meet.
	Seems low.
	What I like about this clip is they've put the standard Peruvian drum beat under it.
	Whenever you have something in Peru, it's like...
	You know what I mean?
	It's kind of to give it some authenticity.
	Actually, the more interesting thing, because they showed that there's a lot of street scenes and people yelling and screaming, and I mentioned this before, that when I was in Spain and I went to an area where there was a protest, they were all blowing police whistles, making this huge racket.
	Yeah, we have discussed this, yes.
	Well, in Peru, you heard these horns honking.
	They sound like vuvuzelas or whatever those crazy long things are.
	Yeah, kind of like a...
	They sound like that only with a higher pitch.
	Yeah.
	It's a little device.
	I've never seen it before.
	And any of our listeners who has access to this, I want one for the show.
	It's a little handheld device that looks like a box, like a rectangular box about the size of your fist.
	And it's got a horn sticking out of the top of it, a little bitty horn, a little plastic horn.
	It's the thing you pull on.
	You pull and push.
	It's like a pump.
	And you sit there and you pump this thing, and it makes this outrageously loud sound similar to those little air horns you can buy, little bitty ones you can buy that sound like a horn from a boat you use when you're boating.
	It sounds like that, but it's just a pumping thing.
	It's really cool.
	And that's only in Peru?
	I've never seen this anywhere.
	When I saw the device, I said, holy crap, what is that?
	Huh.
	It's a really cool little device.
	And you just pull and push and pull and push and it makes a bunch of racket.
	I'm not sure what it's called.
	Hmm.
	Interesting.
	I know some Peruvians, I'll ask them.
	Someone will come up with that.
	I mean, they'd be using these in Spain for sure.
	I like it.
	Very cool.
	Well, let me wrap it up then with a fine piece of pharmaceutical advertising.
	How's that sound?
	Alright, then we're good.
	Because of course, you know, we have been talking quite a bit about the brazen nature of pushing Adderall and Ritalin and other groovy little things onto our children.
	So NBC had this big report, and it was all about Adderall.
	And they highlighted this one kid who went to Columbia.
	Well, actually, here's the setup, and I'll take you through.
	This is basically kind of like one of those narratives that you did with Japan.
	Listen to what they tell you and what the payoff is of this report.
	Welcome to Rock Center and we begin tonight with a story of interest to families all across this country because right now in dorm rooms and bedrooms all across this country there are students going about their work under the influence of prescription medications like Adderall and Ritalin with the goal of doing better in school.
	Now these drugs make a big difference for those with attention deficit disorders but then there are the others who choose to take them illegally hoping for sharper focus and better grades.
	Tonight Kate Snow starts us off by introducing us to a young man who thought he discovered a medicinal shortcut to success.
	Okay, so now right now we're already set up to think, hey, that sounds kind of interesting.
	A shortcut to success, okay?
	It was exam time at one of the nation's most prestigious schools, Columbia University in New York, and the pressure was on.
	20-page papers, all kinds of revisions, presentations, six classes.
	There's a lot of stuff that needs to get done.
	Stefan Perez was powering through the usual way.
	Two, three days, I'm up.
	Straight.
	No soup.
	All the way through there.
	And how are you doing that?
	I don't know.
	Adderall.
	Adderall.
	It's a drug we've all heard about, widely prescribed for attention deficit disorders.
	But this isn't a story about ADHD. It's a story of an ambitious student and many many more who have misused Adderall to get an edge.
	DeAnson Parker is a New York neuropsychologist.
	She says Stefan is like a lot of ambitious kids in high school and college who misuse attention deficit medications like Adderall to perform better academically.
	There is a basic belief in the value that getting ahead beats everything.
	And you can do anything to get ahead.
	It's okay.
	So it's not perceived as cheating, although I would argue it is.
	Okay, so now what is the information that they're giving us right now?
	Yeah, I actually saw this too.
	The information is use Adderall, you get better grades.
	Okay.
	But just don't get caught selling it.
	Right.
	Well, do you have to blow like the whole thing or should I take it in sequence?
	Because the most important part is next, which is how do you get a hold of it?
	Only for the test.
	Why do kids think this is a big deal?
	I mean, this is a controlled substance.
	Because you're doing very well when you're taking it, most of the time.
	I've never heard anyone say, I took Adderall and did terrible on my exam.
	I love that!
	That's the best line of the whole piece.
	I never heard anyone say, I took Adderall and I did poorly on the exam.
	It's like an academic steroid.
	Yeah.
	I was just thinking that.
	It's like taking steroids in sports.
	Barry Bonds in the library.
	Absolutely.
	Barry Bonds in the library.
	Yeah, a lot of memes there was good.
	Stefan says he wanted ready access to his own supply.
	So I asked my friend, I said, how'd you get that prescription?
	He said, oh, go to, you know, psychological health services.
	Wait, on campus?
	On Columbia's campus?
	He said, you know, tell them that you're having, you know, trouble.
	Studying, focusing, ask you a couple questions, and you'll get a prescription like that.
	They give it out like it's candy.
	All it took, he says, was a meeting with a psychologist at Student Health Services in this building who asked him to fill out a simple questionnaire.
	On campus.
	He also met with a psychiatrist.
	He says it was just 10 minutes.
	The doctor asked him if he'd ever taken Adderall.
	I thought, is this a trick question?
	I said, you know what, yeah.
	A friend gave me one of his pills from his prescription.
	I took it and it made me very productive.
	I really liked how it helped me.
	Perfect.
	This is, I think, the right prescription for you.
	Hold on.
	He didn't say, well, you really shouldn't have taken someone else's prescription.
	That's really not medically advisable.
	Right.
	He walked out, prescription in hand.
	Because he was over 18, no one notified his parents.
	We asked Columbia for an interview.
	The university declined to comment on this case, but in a statement said its Student Health Service uses a detailed clinical protocol for evaluation of ADHD and related conditions and takes a holistic approach toward treatment for ADHD, including short-term counseling.
	Okay.
	So, here's what we're learning in this report, is if you want it, all you have to do is go to the doctor on campus and say, ah, you know, I've tried it once, and it really worked for me, and they'll give it to you.
	So, you go through this whole report, and the thing is 10 or 15 minutes, and of course you expect, as any normal human being and a parent, you expect...
	The end will be, well, you know, it's addictive.
	It's like cocaine.
	You know, you can get strung out on this stuff.
	There's hard crashing.
	And some of that is peppered throughout the report.
	But really, the end result is that this guy, he got so good that he was now selling some of his Adderall for $30 a pill.
	And the payoff, the big thing about the report is Adderall is great.
	You'll do fantastic on it.
	You can get it right from the doctor on campus.
	But don't you dare sell that illegally without going through us, slave!
	It was an explosive bang that was followed by this red battering ram that knocked my door down.
	No, I just completely cracked it and knocked it open.
	I was like, whoa.
	It was an early morning raid.
	Stefan was caught up in a drug bust, the NYPD's Operation Ivy League, a five-month undercover investigation.
	Stefan was charged with selling Adderall.
	He was shocked to find himself locked up with four other Columbia students who were arrested for dealing drugs like ecstasy, marijuana, and cocaine.
	This is a true ring of drug dealers and pushers, completely legal, telling you we've got the goods, the goods are great, you can use them, you're going to be fantastic, you'll get ahead, we'll make it affordable, easy, and don't you dare, don't you dare step on our turf and try to sell that yourself.
	Well, there's a story somewhat bogative from the perspective that if you're a student on Columbia and you just waltz in and get a prescription from the psychiatric services so easily, why wouldn't all the students do that instead of buying any from him at three times the cost?
	What do you think the commercial is about?
	The commercial is exactly that.
	They want more people to do that.
	That's why the whole thing is so...
	I actually saw this and I wasn't going to clip it because I just thought it was a little over-the-top bullcrap.
	And, yeah, I'm not going to argue any of the points.
	I just didn't think, you know, it was a big shock to anybody that this sort of bullcrap goes on.
	No, no.
	I think it's shocking that no one...
	I guess what it was to me, John, is that this is your news.
	Your news is selling drugs to your kids.
	And that's why you need to not only listen to, but support...
	The best podcast in the universe!
	It's impossible to argue with that.
	And as you run the little theme at the end, I want to point out something.
	If you want to go to Dvorak.org slash blog and look at the...
	You see this list.
	It comes out every year.
	These are the top suppressed news stories.
	There's one group, right?
	Yep.
	The top ten, all covered to an extreme on the No Agenda show.
	Number one story, by the way, was signs of an emerging police state.
	Number four, for example, is FBI agents responsible for a majority of terrorist plots.
	Number eight, for example, NATO war crimes in Libya.
	I mean, it's a list of the stories we commonly do, and all they're doing is pointing out the obvious, and I think people don't need to be told this.
	You're getting no news anyplace anymore.
	And that, I guess, is why we're still on the air for as long as it lasts.
	Yeah, well, at some point, they'll know.
	Somebody will notice.
	When one of these supposed no-agenda listeners actually listens in the government, they're going to go, who are these idiots?
	I think we better get us some of those FEMA Homeland Youth uniforms so we can...
	I think we should join the Homeland Youth.
	So we can blend in...
	We have missed you 100%.
	Can't you see all these kids and then there's Adam and John with our little armbands.
	That's a good armband.
	Very, very stylish.
	Your name is Johannes.
	Johannes!
	And my name is...
	Johannes and Adamus.
	Adolf and Johannes.
	No, we're Adolf.
	Adolf.
	Good name.
	Good name.
	Adolf and Johannes here.
	We have a reporting for duty for the FEMA Region 6 Homeland Youth Security Call.
	Wow, wow, wow, wow.
	All right, everybody.
	Well, thank you so much for joining us.
	We are now off to rest up and charge up and get ready for our show on Thursday.
	Hope you will join you then.
	Or join us then.
	Coming to you here from the capital of the Drone Star State, that's Austin, Texas.
	I am still suffering from disruptive mood dysregulation disorder in the morning.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I have a bell, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	The No Agenda producer update is coming up next on the stream.
	Stay tuned for that, and No Agenda will be back on Thursday.
	No agenda for the future.
	No agenda for America.
