I love how you can deconstruct the mass miseducation machine, the popular lapdog media which keeps begging for biscuits from the two corporate wings of our one-party system.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, October 25th, 2012.
Time for Gitmo Nation Media.
Assassination episode 455.
This is No Agenda.
Celebrating Cinco de Mayo in October.
From the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin Tejas.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where it is our fifth anniversary, and Worry Banks shun yanks in Switzerland.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crack Vaughn and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
You want to try that again and tell me what you just said?
Worry Banks, Sean Chicken Shanks in Switzerland?
Worry.
It should have been wary.
Oh, you said worry.
I did.
I said worry.
I always say worry when I read it.
That's a great way to kick off our fifth anniversary.
Really?
Let's start over.
Come on.
No, I don't want to start over.
It's too much fun this way.
Do you really want to start over?
You want to do it again?
No, I don't want to start over.
I think it's fine.
Okay.
It's not like anyone listens to the show at the beginning and says, oh, he mispronounced something.
I think you'd be amazed.
Oh, no, this is no good.
That's why I always put a little funny at the beginning before we start, so that people know that something amazing is coming up in the next two and a half to three hours.
Well, I think what's interesting about the worry...
Wary.
Wary.
I can't look at the word and pronounce it.
It's weird.
It's like Rydia.
Yeah, I do the same thing with Rydia.
I know if I look at the word, I know it's Riyadh, but if I look at it, I can't stop saying Rydia.
I used to, when I was a kid, I used to say Greenwich for Greenwich, which seems logical to me.
Anyway, so there's an article in the Wall Street Journal about wary Swiss banks shunning yanks.
And it goes on about, and of course we talked about this two years ago.
You know, about how the banks are...
There's new laws being passed in the United States saying that the banks have to cough up anything that has to do with...
Oh, no, no.
It's not new laws being created.
These laws are on the books.
And anything over...
I think it's certainly over $50,000, but it may be less now.
The banks have to document every single move.
Yeah, foreign banks.
Yeah, foreign banks.
It's the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.
FACTA. Yeah.
So if they have any operations in the United States or even have a relative here, they get thrown in jail.
Yeah.
So...
So here's the kicker.
I mean, one thing we didn't get out of this was the following.
I mean, when we talked about it, which we've discussed before, and I think the gall of us, we like to do this to our own.
To be sure, Americans, apparently a lot of people, you know, they've just said, screw it, I'm going to take a foreign citizenship and you can have my passport.
And then it says, now it's like you can't do that.
You can't renounce.
This is what I've been telling you, that I looked into this, you can't even get a dual citizenship anymore, because if you renounce, you will no longer be allowed to come back to the United States.
Well, no, now it's worse than that.
To be sure, Americans aren't absolved of their tax obligations if they renounce.
For the renunciation to become official, this is the problem, the taxpayer has to certify that he or she has been in full tax compliance for five years, and perhaps pay an exit tax.
Oh, pfft.
Now, the only groups that act like this are cults and the mob.
This is great.
An exit tax.
Wow.
And how is the exit tax computed?
It's probably your net worth.
And by the way, in this sense, if a taxpayer lies, which, you know, the IRS can declare the expatriation invalid and proceed against him or her.
You know what's better?
It's better to just fake your death.
It's probably cheaper.
The death tax is cheaper.
Yeah, just fake your death and then just kind of disappear.
I mean, there's ways to disappear.
You can definitely just get out.
Yeah, but you'd have to...
Actually, there was a guy who wrote a book on that.
I remember five years ago, actually, before we started doing the show, I remember some guy who made a big deal about how...
Made a book and made a deal about how to fake your death for whatever reason.
There was apparently some good reasons to once in a while.
Yeah, like angry ex-wives.
Yeah, exactly.
To get out of the United States.
Well, isn't that the...
I mean, we call each other human resources from time to time, but definitely citizens and slaves.
I mean, this is the definition of a prison.
You literally cannot get out.
No, you can't get out.
It is a prison.
Yeah, you know, take it or leave it.
Well, in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, subs in the water, and feet in the air also.
Happy in the morning to all of our supporting knights who are out there.
Yes, and this is our fifth anniversary.
Show.
It's a fifth anniversary show, and it's very nice to see all of the human resources in the chat room.
We've got a nice quorum, everybody lined up there, all charged up and ready to go in the morning to you.
In the morning also to...
We should probably get this out of the way right off the bat.
In the morning to Martin JJ, who has been...
Well, I mean, we've been choosing his artwork.
There have been many artists who have been providing artwork for each episode at noagendaartgenerator.com.
Martin, JJ sent us a very interesting note, which I found to be a very no agenda way of doing things.
Did you agree?
Yeah, I agree 100%.
He said that he rocks, he rules the world, and all the other artists suck.
It was absolutely very no agenda-ish.
And that because of this situation, he's not going to do art.
Like, I don't want to do it anymore.
I'm too good.
I'm too good for all this.
Yeah, then he slam dunked right in our face.
Yeah, so there will be no Martin J.J. Art for a while.
Actually, I think it's a pretty smart move.
He's saying, hey, you know, I don't know what it is.
It's like I'm on drugs here.
I love it when you guys pick the art, but I gotta stop.
He's trying to kick the habit.
So we'd love to see some other artists check in for our fifth anniversary show today.
Yeah, he's gone into on a hiatus.
He's on semi-retirement is actually what it was.
It wasn't really gloating.
No.
Although that's what I do.
Can't anybody else even come close to the great work I do?
The outstanding awesomeness of me.
So another artist out there, let's go.
So it started, wow, it started five years ago.
Well, actually, I have the first 40 seconds of our very first show.
Oh, come on.
I was thinking about doing a retrospective like that, and then I said, I don't feel like listening to this old stuff.
No, me neither.
It's like Johnny Carson used to do this every year, and then he'd always bring out that one guy who threw an axe right into the crotch of some guy.
It was an old black and white clip.
They'd show it every year.
I don't think I've seen this one.
Yeah.
For some reason, this clip doesn't even want to load.
Your clip won't play?
Let me just see.
There's something very...
It's the way the show started.
It was a lot of dead air.
Yeah.
It seems like none of them...
Hey, you there?
Hey, what?
Well, we started...
Come on.
Here we go.
Here's the clip.
Welcome, everybody, to a brand new program.
Look, I sound 15.
What's up with that?
You don't have the compression going on, that's for sure.
The Pod Show Network.
Yeah, I do.
Which could be titled a number of things.
We chose no agenda, but it could be the show with no imaging, no content yet.
The only thing it is is two no content.
Come on, we're being honest.
Guys with an idea of putting together a...
What should we call it, John?
Agenda-less show.
Agenda-less show?
Oh, do you hear your audio?
Hi, everybody.
This is No Agenda.
John, how are you doing?
Wow.
I'm doing really good on you.
We have improved our quality somewhat.
Oh, exactly.
John C. Dvorak in California.
Adam Curry here in London.
Something we cooked up.
What was it?
Like a four-minute phone call.
Hey, we should do a show together.
Okay.
Let's call it no agenda.
Okay, and here we are.
Well, of course, the basis for a show like this, and I think everybody out there who has conversations with friends, they occasionally, especially when the conversations go on and on, say, you know, that would have been an interesting thing for other people to listen to.
There you have it.
That's the theory.
I mean, it's not quite like the MTV moon launch, moon man rocket launch in 81, but that's how we started.
Yeah, it's a version of eavesdropping, and I tend to sound like Ted Turner.
If you've ever listened to him talk, he always goes, constantly.
It sounds like a walrus.
Yeah, well, it's all right.
Yeah, that's the way, and they were still doing this five years later.
Wow.
Yeah.
And people like it.
That's the thing that always...
As we can tell by today's support, we have a lot of 5555 supporters, which we'll mention at the end of the show.
They're all the well-wishers.
So there's a couple of things that we should probably jump into.
Do you want to thank our producers first, and then we'll jump into some stuff that's going on since we're kind of celebrating?
Can you give me a countdown?
Yeah.
From five...
Well, do you think it should be from five, or do you think it should be from...
Never mind.
The spreadsheet is open.
Gotcha.
All right.
Here we go.
All right.
We have a bunch of executive producers who came in, including an Insta Knight, Jonathan Spirey in Orting, Washington.
Oh, hello.
That's awesome.
110, 11, 12, actually.
Awesome, 10-11-12.
I'm donating 10-11-12.
Why?
Because the central question is, I've been a douchebag.
He's doing the Obama central question.
Love it.
Yeah, that's good.
And despite missing the October 11th date, I really like that this donation adds up to 33.
Absolutely.
I do not expect this to redeem my lack of participation until now, nor do I require a myriad of jingles.
So some of those combinations are quite good.
But having listened to all of your shows, save the one you never aired...
We only have half of that one, by the way.
I'm plenty familiar with all the jingles, and by the way, I have the second half of that show, and I couldn't find it if I wanted to.
I'd like to say thank you for betting me, letting me be a producer and a knight for the best podcast in the universe, ITM. Wow.
Thank you very much.
Great support.
Sir Jonathan will be knighted later on in this program.
And then we had three people, and I was thinking about this because one of them came in right after the last, before I did the newsletter, with 555.55, which is 55, which is five times five, or five fives on the fifth anniversary, so it was a lot of fives.
And I was thinking of putting in a newsletter, and I said, you know, I thought it was...
I just said, no, I would just stick with the $55.55.
But I really do appreciate this.
David Rose in Clarkston, Michigan, came in with $555.55.
Just sent a five-year anniversary donation.
It attached to my accounting of past donations, and he puts them over for knighthood.
No fancy request.
The black knighthood is for me.
I guess we missed him somewhere.
Actually, if this puts him over, that's not a black knighthood.
So he's probably not going to have to check on that.
No fancy requests.
We are also celebrating our anniversary on 1026, so a happy anniversary.
Call it to my lovely wife of 16 years.
Love this show, so let's hope for many more to come.
Best wishes from Gitmo Nation Automobile.
And it's his wife, Tony.
Tony.
His wife, Tony.
So he will be a knight.
Tony will be able to admire his...
No, I take it back.
His accounting shows he has two knighthoods.
Oh, wow.
So he does get a black knighthood and his wife gets one.
She gets a regular.
Oh, okay.
Alright, so then she can admire his lance tonight.
David Bierce in Altoona, Iowa.
$555.
He said, Carmen, it knows where to go.
Hopefully I'm within a few dollars of a knighthood when we're looking into that.
If he gets one, he'll get it on Sunday.
Papa Guido in Chicago.
I feel like $555.55 anonymous.
Credit is Papa Guido.
Congrats on your fifth.
Sorry I'm short one digit and will deny you both your vacations, but I figured five should have some magic too.
Yeah, it could have been nice to have 5,500, but that would be six fives.
May there be many more years to come.
May it continue to drive me further from any hope of reintegrating with the masses of brainwashed slaves.
Adam, if you can handle this, I think we need to hear a remix of Huntsman saying only poo-poo and a Hillary too delicious.
Top it off with a house-selling karma generating.
You can take that to the bank.
Okay, so I don't know.
What's the Huntsman poo-poo thing?
I think it's...
At the end, it sounds like he says poo-poo.
I think it's what he's...
He just wanted the poo-poo part of it.
I don't think you can do that.
Well, I'm not prepared to do it.
I wasn't, you know...
Well, give him a Huntsman too delicious.
Karma.
With a take that to the bank.
Okay, we can do that.
It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
You've got karma.
And where is it?
You can take that to the bank.
Hey, now!
There we go.
It's four.
Come on.
Yeah, four is too many.
We don't really want to do four.
It's hard.
Three succinct ones, even though Papa Guido, with a generous donation of that amount, will do it.
Sir Michael Miller in Tiburon, California, becomes our associate executive producer at $277.75.
Congratulations on the best podcast in the universe.
And he multiplied 55-55 times 5.
Again, 277759.
That's very creative.
Daniel Cesarnecki.
Cesarnecki.
Melbourne, Australia, 256.
I didn't see a note from him.
Crash EMT in Gainesville, Virginia, 250.
Please refer to me as Crash EMT. Not a boner anymore.
First time donor greeting from Northern Virginia.
Loving the best podcast in the universe.
Thought it was about time to provide my value for yours.
More to come.
But first I can use a dedouching and some divorce and job karma as 212 has been a...
Rough year for this slave.
Also say hello to my almost douche friend, Dr.
Rad, who hit me in the mouth.
He's trickling by on PayPal Monthly, which we should all be so kind to do.
Adam, I hope you like the link to the idiot congresswoman in New York who let slip on CNBC that we still had Bin Laden.
Weird.
I don't remember receiving that link.
Well, I think we should find it.
Yeah, that sounds like a good one.
You know, this is the thing, and I want to remind everybody, email is without a doubt the worst way to get something to us, certainly to me.
If you want to contribute, the way to flow it in is through noagendanewsnetwork.com.
All you have to do is set up a blog.
You can set up a WordPress blog or blogger.
It doesn't matter, as long as you can find an RSS feed.
You go to noagenthenewsnetwork.com, click at the top, there says add a feed, you pop it in there.
That's how I get the stories, and they're all archived, and I won't miss it, because they're all there, and between each show, I will scan down every single story that comes in, and email, and particularly the way people send emails with horrible subject lines, etc.
It just sucks.
Yeah, the problem is subject lines.
People say, hey, or...
Hey, check this out!
You won't believe this!
Yeah, that kind of thing.
It's very, very hard.
I agree about this.
If he had sent me the clip, I'm sure I would have put it into this thing.
I am not like you.
I do look at my email.
I'm not saying I don't look at my email, but you get lumped in with spammers and all kinds of other crap.
So anyway, here's your dedouching.
You've been dedouched.
And some divorce and job karma.
You've got karma.
Well deserved, I believe.
I do believe.
Thomas, Thomas Oser.
O-E-S-E-R in Rizal, New South Wales, 222.
Can my producer listening be furiousgriffin.com?
It's my website and needs some link karma.
I've been listening to the show from the beginning, but I've never donated.
I did, however, get a mention from my No Agenda Radiation Calculator a while back.
I figure a de-douching and some karma couldn't hurt and a huntsman.
Would be great.
Alright, so we'll do that for you.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
And our last donor or associate executive producer is Kevin Thomas in Smyrna, Georgia 20907.
I don't think I have a note from him that I can find.
I want to thank all these gentlemen and gentle ladies.
I don't think there's any ladies in this list.
For helping us out on show, 5th anniversary show, as a matter of fact, which is show 455, which is 405th anniversary, 5th anniversary, which is interesting.
And we remind people that we still have to...
Continue doing the show, so keep us going for another five years by going to NoGenTheShow.com, NoGenTheNation.com, Dvorak.org, slash NA, and ChannelDvorak.com, slash NA, and give us some credit for the Sunday show.
Yeah, and these are real credits.
In fact, I want to mention that right after I remind everybody that another way to always help out with the show is to do the following.
Go out and propagate our formula.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
I did find the note from Kevin Thomas, and I think I'll read it.
I'm compelled to send a donation for your fifth anniversary.
I've been an avid listener since show 320.
I don't think I could get through my daily commute without it.
This I'm sending 20907, which is triple O, excuse me, swazzle enough.
Keep on assassinating the media.
And he would like a shut up, slave, take it to the bank karma.
I think it's twazzle enough, isn't it?
That would be good.
Shut up, slave, take it to the bank karma.
We can do that.
Here we go.
Shut up, slave!
You can take that to the bank.
You've got karma.
So what we have been saying ever since we started with our producer program for producers, executive, and associate executives, and those of you who have been around the show understand that as part of our value-for-value model, we set it up very much like Hollywood does.
This is no different.
There's no reason why your credit as an executive producer or an associate executive producer on The No Agenda Show is any less, any less than your credit on a coast-to-coast radio program, nationally syndicated, or on a television show, or a movie.
We're just as valid.
And to prove that, Sir Gene Nevtuliev sent me a note.
He says, hey, Adam, I'm going to put your real producer credits to the test.
I have nine associate executive producer listings with no agenda, which, according to my calculation, should qualify me for the Producers Guild of America membership, where the real hookers and blow are, assuming that you can validate the credits.
And so he sent me a link to the membership requirements, and it looks like you do indeed qualify if you have no less than two new media projects that have broad domestic or verifiable international releases Within the digitally enabled interactive storytelling production, internet entertainment production, video game production, broadband, and then has a couple other options here.
So I think we are indeed, we do have a broad domestic, verifiable international audience, and we qualify as an internet entertainment production.
Definitely.
Now the only thing here is...
Do you have to pay a fee?
Of course he's going to have to pay a fee.
He wants to be a member of the Guild.
Do they have insurance?
Oh yeah, of course they do.
Yeah, you can get him health insurance and all kinds of benefits.
I think you can even go to movies for free at the Director's Guild and there's all kinds of cross-promotion stuff.
Oh, it's well worth it to get a Guild membership.
Well, I should become a member too.
Well, we might have to because you need either four Sources who will verify you who are not guild members or two who are guild members.
And I think as a part of our program, John, you and I should become members of the Producers Guild of America.
Can you imagine how many people have been an executive or associate executive producer at least twice in five years' time?
We will own this guild.
Yeah, we could get a voting block going.
Yeah, we could become very powerful.
Fine.
We could even get seats at the Oscars.
Yeah, sure.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
Yeah, that's going to happen.
But it's a great idea, isn't it?
I like it.
So I'll look into it.
Yeah, look into it and see what we have to do.
I wonder what the membership dues are.
But if we can do that...
There's the rub.
No, because Mickey's a SAG member, and it's like $200 a year.
Yeah, but actors, I think they give themselves a break because that's really more like a real guild.
This is more like a drinking club.
Drinking clubs or some of them are expensive.
I think that the producers are always very frustrated because there is no producer award ever.
There's no such...
In the Academy Awards, there's no producer of the year.
No, but they bring...
No, that's true.
So they're always frustrated.
For good reason.
All producers are just the money bags.
Well, they are.
Well, guess what?
As Gene pointed out, that's where the real hookers and blow are.
I think we need to be a member of this club.
You put yourself in with a different category of person.
What do I do for a living, sir?
I'm a producer.
Wow!
Take me to bed.
My dress fell off.
That used to be the number one come on in the New York bar scene in Upper West Side.
We also got a note from Sir Ernie.
Adam and John, first pics of the samples are in of the 12-12-12 Karma coin, the Super Karma Challenge coin.
And so you can take a look at those at noagendasuperkarma.com.
This is a challenge coin.
It's a 12-12-12 Superkarma.
And the 12-12-21 Supreme Hyperkarma coin rolled into one.
Custom laser engraving on the side of the coin.
Available.
Different platings available.
Oh, even a trackable geocoin option available.
That's kind of cool.
I might go for the trackable geocoin.
Yeah, that way we can find you when you're rolled up in a ditch.
Noagendasuperkarma.com, so have a look at that.
And, wow, yeah.
For some reason, I wound up with 8 million clips today.
We obviously don't have to play them all, but my goodness.
Well, obviously, yes.
I'll tell you what, let's start with gold.
Yes.
Do you have a clip about gold?
Because it's obviously very...
No, no, no.
That's not what I meant.
I meant have the number one, your best absolute punch him in the mouth clip of the day.
No, I'm not going to do that.
Roll out the top one.
Let's hear it.
I'm not going to do that.
Go with your best shot.
I have no idea what it is.
That's very subjective.
How about you roll out your best top of the line clip?
Well, let's see what we got.
By the way, there's something very wrong with my computer here.
I'm trying to figure it out.
So, clips may or may not play.
Well, let's start off by talking about this fiasco going on with Benghazi and the memos.
Yes.
It leaked email.
The bad actor syndrome.
And this is like becoming such a joke that even Hillary, when discussing it, she's laughing.
Now here's where I think she's laughing at.
Now, here's the wrap of the...
I got the CNN, the first CNN wrap of the Benghazi situation.
I tried to cut it down so it's not too long, but give us a little background.
Hold on, John.
I can't even get it.
Fifth anniversary show, ladies and gentlemen.
There you go.
Something is screwing up my computer, and I don't know what it is, but I cannot even...
If I hit the window with the clips, I'll hit three, four...
It takes four seconds for that window to activate...
Did you update your Mac sometime?
No.
Did you just update your Mac?
No.
No.
Let me see.
What the fuck?
Oh, I see.
Oh, yeah.
This is exactly the fucking problem.
What?
Hold on.
Get a hammer out and pound on that Mac.
I'm going to.
Hold on a second.
I'm trying to.
Wow.
I've got it.
You know what it is?
Yeah, this is so amazing.
You keep teasing us, but what is it?
Thunderbird!
Oh, Thunderbird.
You know, I can't use that product.
I have too much email, and Thunderbird just clogs up.
And it's just sitting there, and it's just...
Because I quit it.
I always quit it before the show.
Control, Alt, Delete, and kill it from the operating system.
Yeah.
Can you do that?
Yeah, we don't do it that way on the Mac.
How do you do it?
We do Option, Command, Escape, and then we kill it.
Sounds like the same thing.
Okay, I've got it.
Yes, okay.
We're good.
We're good to go.
I figured it out.
Wait, wait, wait.
First, let's start with the classic CNN tees.
Fuck!
Shit!
Hello?
Yeah, it's not...
Oh!
Well, this is a great, wonderful way to finish five years.
Now my mouse is frozen.
Huh.
What kind of...
That's right, you're using a Mac.
Please don't.
It's really not funny.
Well, you want to reboot and we can just...
Well, at this point, I don't even know if I can...
Come on.
Come on, baby.
Come on.
Just...
It can't hear you.
Yes, it can.
Why is it not doing this?
It's like...
Now it's the Apple trackpad.
Okay, let's try again.
You have a virus.
Sounds like a virus.
No, I don't have a virus.
All right, what are we...
What clip were we playing, John?
I'm trying to calm down.
Classic CNN tees on the consulate in Benghazi bombing.
President Obama surrounding the attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya.
That's absolutely right.
CNN has now obtained a government email that shows the administration was notified soon after the attack that an Islamic group was claiming credit.
Let's bring in CNN intelligence correspondent Suzanne Kelly for more on this.
Put this all in perspective for us, Suzanne.
What?
She looks like one of those CIA women.
They always have a certain look to them.
Is she the older woman?
Is that the one?
No, she's middle-aged.
She's a good-looking brunette.
She's a MILF. What's her name again?
Susan, something or other.
Perspective for us, Suzanne.
Oh, yeah, Suzanne.
Right, well, Wolf and Kate, the release of the email certainly has provided more ammunition for critics who say the...
She's a MILF. You didn't just say that, did you?
By your standards, she's a MILF....been forthcoming with what they knew about the Benghazi investigation.
But they also highlight a growing frustration among those in the administration who are saying, enough already, let's get on with bringing those responsible to justice.
Now, can I just interject a little bit here?
It's so obvious that what is going on here is that Hillary is now leaking this information because she wants to get the sticky off of her.
You look at those emails which are redacted, but it's redacted in a way that it just says blank at state.gov, blank at state.gov, blank at state.gov, and FBI.gov.
It's like all state department.
Here's the thing that's funny about it.
CNN keeps presenting it as leaked emails.
Yeah.
How do you leak a redacted email?
Yeah.
You know, if it's leaked, you have the email, right?
If it was like some WikiLeaks, for example, they would have the real email, the whole thing.
But you get a piece with a bunch of black lines all through it.
How is that leaked?
Yeah, it's not leaked, obviously.
So anyway, so they have a bigger, longer discussion of this on First CNN Wrap on Benghazi, which takes it a little further, because I think they probably covered this more than anybody.
I'm sorry.
Which one are we doing now?
First CNN rap of Benghazi.
There we go.
Sorry.
I'll get back into it.
Now I lost your Hillary clip somehow.
I've said it and I'll say it one more time.
No one wants to find out what happened more than I do.
Secretary Hillary Clinton came out firing today after emails obtained by CNN made clear that shortly after the attack began, the State Department notified officials from the White House, the top intelligence agency, the Pentagon, and FBI that an attack was underway.
Ambassador Stevens was in the compound.
Just two hours later, another email indicated the Libyan extremist group Ansar al-Sharia was claiming responsibility for the attack on social media websites.
We don't need any more.
Now, because I'm trying to get these short, because I do have one real...
I have one stunning clip, by the way.
Keep going.
But let's play this one.
This is the one that makes me suspicious, and I believe that this is part of the reason Hillary's laughing, which is the guy ends up in Tunisia.
You also have been recording today, Suzanne, on the report.
On an arrest of a man who was linked to the attacks in custody in Tunisia tonight.
What do you know about him and have American authorities been able to question him?
They haven't been able to question him yet, Erin, and we do know that he was arrested.
He was moving through Turkey and there was a request by the U.S. to detain him, which Turkey did, and then turned him over to the Tunisians.
Now, Senator Saxby Chambliss was talking about this a little bit earlier, and he has told us that he was believed to have taken part in the attack on the compound Another really interesting part of this too, Erin, is that he was apparently posting details about the attack as it was happening on social media websites.
Wow, so they found out about him on social media?
That's how they found out that they followed that link and tracked it back to find this guy.
Okay, so this is...
Hold on a second.
He's moving through...
What is he, in like an allied van, moving van bus?
Or is he in a motorcycle with a sidecar?
How am I supposed to imagine this?
The guy's a blogger.
Probably one of ours.
Yeah, right, right, right, right.
And so he blogs this event or whatever.
He actually is on Twitter and Facebook.
And Erin says something really stupid, by the way, afterwards.
She says, oh, that shows you the power of social media.
Exactly what she said.
She's dumb.
So the guy was a techno expert.
That's what I'm guessing.
Takes off through Turkey.
Somehow he's identified.
Just imagine he's on a motorcycle with a sidecar with goggles.
Yeah.
And with one of those leather bags of some sort that holds his Macintosh.
Exactly.
One of those postal bags.
While on his iPhone, zooming down with some goggles on.
A lot of dust.
I'm in Turkey.
If only I can make it to Tunisia.
Okay.
Got it.
Somehow, this is my vision of the whole thing.
He's stopped and he's captured by the Turks.
He's taken a leak.
I mean, how would we know he's there?
Unless the Turks told us, right?
Yeah, of course.
So the church said, hey, we got some guy and we got his laptop and then we, you know, had sex with him a couple of times and we finally gave up the information we needed.
And they said, oh, okay, we'll come and get him.
And so then somehow or some way, shape or form, the guy is taken by some...
Fake Americans in some scam like a movie and then got into Tunisia as fast as they could because everyone knows we can't do anything with Tunisia because they're like, you know, it's half Islamist.
So the guy's now safely parked in Tunisia so we can't get a hold of him because he has information we need to find.
No, we're trying to get this guy out of the picture because he's going to blow the whistle on the whole scam.
Right, because he's a very, very low-level operative and, you know, you have to either kill him Why didn't they just kill him, by the way?
I think it would have been smarter to just kill him.
Well, yeah, I don't know.
I mean, I don't think we can just keep killing people.
Oh, please!
Like Romney said, we can't kill our way out of this.
Oh, please!
Stop!
Well, maybe they did kill him, and maybe he's not in Tunisia.
We don't know.
Right.
That's a possibility, and that's why the clip, why is Hillary laughing?
This is why she's laughing.
The Independent Accountability Review Board is already hard at work looking at everything, not cherry-picking one story here or one document there, but looking at everything, which I highly recommend as the appropriate approach to something as complex as an attack like this.
When I heard her say that, and this clip has been played everywhere, I'm so amazed that no one says, why is she laughing when she says that?
And you've done a very good job of explaining that.
I think it's at least one explanation, but there's something fishy going on.
Well, so I checked out the State Department press conference, of course, as I always do, because you know that Matt from Reuters is going to get into Victoria Nuland's face about this.
And she actually started off by saying, well, the secretary did all the work today, so what's on your minds?
You know, like the tech or tech told us all the truth and all we have to do is just write down what she said and not ask any questions.
So, you know, obviously what came up is, so how does this work with these emails and, you know, what gets into a cable?
You know, what's the truth behind it?
Is this really, is there a real report here?
Do we know that this is a real guide?
They're trying to figure out what we're trying to figure out.
The difference is you and I, you know, drink wine and...
We're better at it.
Yeah, we sit down and have a fireball twice a week, and we're much better at it.
These guys are every single day being indoctrinated into coming up with absolutely nothing.
But the exchange I found rather interesting.
Was it someone out in the field?
That particular piece was disseminated by our operations center, whether they saw it themselves or whether it was highlighted by our people in the field.
I can't speak to that.
I frankly don't know.
It can happen any of a number of ways.
So what's going on here is where did the information come from?
And she's saying, well, you know, our field office said, no, no, I understand that.
Where did they get the information from that there was an attack on the consulate?
In instances such as this, is it standard practice to relay all claims of responsibility sort of no matter where they come from, who they might be?
So, I mean, it could be somebody...
Waving a flag in the air and saying I'm unresponsible and that would also be reported.
Yes.
Listen very carefully what's being said here.
So if someone just waves a flag in the air and says, I did it!
I did it!
That would be reported in these cables, in these emails.
Sort of value judgment on the reliability of the claim implied by having it relayed through this system that you have.
And in fact, there are instances where the op center might Send out messages that three different groups are claiming responsibility for the same event.
But it's standard practice for them when we have breaking news for them to inform all of the principals in this building so that everybody knows what's moving.
Hold on a second.
I've got to interrupt this.
Mainly because I have a clip that's coming up, which I think is a good clip.
It's between Chaffetz, the guy who's one of our favorite guys, the congressman, and Wesley Clark.
Did you see that, by the way?
No, I did not.
No, it's a beauty.
It's a beauty.
They start yelling at each other.
Oh, no, I didn't.
But Clark is a total stooge.
Yeah, no, he's flipped.
He's always been a stooge for the Democrats.
Yeah, but he's got a reality show.
But we have the goods on, and we have the one clip where he basically blows a whistle on what we call the Wes Clark 7.
Exactly.
We didn't call it that, but we do now.
Well, and I've actually isolated that.
Instead of playing that whole clip, Just so people know who are new to the program, here it is.
So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan, I said, are we still going to war with Iraq?
And he said, oh, it's worse than that.
He said, he reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper, he said, I just...
He said, I just got this down from upstairs, meaning the Secretary of Defense Office today, and he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
The West Clark Seven.
So anyway, so in this thing, the reason I'm stopping this other clip is because apparently the State Department has developed this meme that when you hear him say it later, we're not going to stop the clip for it, but you'll hear it.
It's, oh, people are taking responsibility left and right for things they didn't do.
Ah, okay, well, maybe we play right after you.
The reason I want to stop is because if you have been paying attention for the past number of years, anybody out there, It's not true.
There's been numerous events where nobody...
No responsibility, no accountability, nothing.
Yeah, nobody said to be...
In fact, I think in the last couple of shows there was an event where something got blowed up and nobody said anything.
And I'm not noticing...
Over the last number of years where something gets blowed up and then five groups say, no, we did it, no, we did it.
That's not what happens.
The group who did it takes responsibility and they're respected by the other guys.
So I think what's happening here in the State Department press corps is they're all going...
They're saying the same thing.
Like, no one ever does this.
How come all of a sudden now we have a group taking responsibility on Facebook?
And how come that's now the subject of the email, which you're now backpedaling on?
I think they're saying the same thing.
They're not saying it explicitly.
But they're curious as to where did this come from, and do you just report anything, and how come this hasn't happened before?
I mean, if the claim is ludicrously unbelievable, I don't know, I mean, like if someone forged a Quaker church or something, that would be passed on as well?
Well, they obviously use their judgment as to whether they think it's important for principals in this building to be aware of what's out there.
So now she contradicts herself by saying, well, of course they have some judgment.
They wouldn't do it for any old kook.
But if you're waving your arms and say, I did it, then we will put that in the report.
Particularly what's out there in the public domain.
In all likelihood, if there had been 100 claims of responsibility that night, they would have done a summary which said...
More than 100 groups, including Matt Lee, have claimed responsibility for this attack.
Matt Lee is our buddy from Reuters.
Yeah, but I mean, okay, just keep playing.
She's an idiot.
And then not evaluated them one way or the other.
Really?
So they would have given my alleged claim of responsibility equal weight with that of a known terrorist group in Libya?
Again, Matt, we're getting into crazy land here.
My point is simply that if the environment is saturated with claims of responsibility, they're going to make sure the principals know that we've got competing claims.
That's my only point here.
And again, just while we're on this procedure, while we're in crazy land.
Repeating claims of responsibility.
Who's the ambassador?
Exactly, that's what I was wondering.
The objective, I realize that they go to all the principles, but is it then that the analysis comes from the intel community?
Correct.
And so they're really the ones who are charged with assessing the reliability or the plausibility of any of these claims.
But the principles are kept informed just so that they know what's out there or what...
One more on this.
I don't know if this is in crazy land or not, but on the specifics of this email in question, do you have any reason to believe that it could actually have just been wrong?
That there was not a Facebook posting at all?
Does that happen?
She's stumped here.
Occasionally these emails come around when there's a developing situation and they're not accurate.
Again, these are designed to keep people informed of what's moving.
I didn't actually look at it to see whether it was a press report about a Facebook posting or whether it was the operation center itself saying that there was a Facebook posting.
So, you know, I can't evaluate one way or the other.
Wow!
Yeah.
Oh, gee.
You don't know, do you?
It's just unbelievable.
And now she claims that it's intelligence who sort out to see if anything within those reports are credible or not.
They really are treading water here.
Well, yeah, because there's a couple of problems.
By the way, it is a meme, the term competing claims of responsibility.
It is a meme that was developed by Foreign Policy Magazine, from what I can tell, which I think is the Council of Foreign Relations organ, if I'm not mistaken.
I could be wrong.
Anyway, no, the problem with the whole thing that she's outlining, that it's not intelligence agencies that decide who gets credit.
It's the news media.
The guys go right to Al Jazeera and say, we did it, whatever group it is.
We did it, and then screw you, and we're out of here.
And that's how it gets into the public domain.
It's not like it gets filtered by the CIA, and the next thing you know, we say, well, we can't figure it out.
There's 10 guys who have been claiming responsibility, and it's bullcrap.
Never happens.
Very rare.
In fact, if you look at competing claims of responsibility on the internets...
I'm looking at the Book of Knowledge right now.
2010.
Only happens a few times.
Yeah.
2010 seems like it happened.
Afghanistan.
That was when it was due.
Rare.
Rare.
Very rare.
It's a rare event.
Yeah.
Very rare.
So they make it sound like, oh, this is going on all the time.
You can't figure out who's doing what.
They're liars.
Yeah.
Now, if you want to play, I think, the whopper of a clip, it's to Wesley Clark.
Yeah, I'd love to, especially if he's getting pissed off at somebody.
Who's he fighting with?
No, he doesn't get pissed off.
Wesley is towing the line.
This is, by the way, about two-thirds of the way through the interview.
And Clark is just full of crap.
And who is he?
It's Clark and who?
What's his name?
Chaffetz?
Chaffetz.
Chaffetz.
Yeah, Chaffetz is on there, who's one of the major committees that studies this stuff.
And he's a great talker, even though he gets tongue-tied, unfortunately, on this, because he actually gets...
Visibly angry at Clark, who's just blah, blah, blah.
Obama's great.
He sent in troops.
And he actually does say that he sent in troops to Benghazi.
He gets called out on it.
And Clark says, no, no, no.
I never said that.
I said they sent a Navy ship.
And then he goes on bragging about this Navy ship that's supposed to solve all the world's problems just because the Navy ship has...
I don't even know what the hell he's talking about.
He's nuts.
In the public affairs business, that's peripheral.
What's really important is what the president did.
He immediately reinforced security.
He sent the military there.
He called international leaders and told them to fulfill their responsibilities.
No, he didn't.
General, with all due respect, he did not send the military.
He did not send the military into Benghazi.
General, he did not send the military into Benghazi.
He deployed a ship.
Those ships had special assets on them.
No, General.
Those ships can take action.
You're misinformed.
But hold on, General.
Let me ask you this question, though.
Wait, they were both on Aaron Burnett's show?
Yeah, I'm just stunned you didn't see this.
No, oh my goodness.
That's like my three favorite people in the world.
It's like an orgasmatron.
I can't believe I didn't see it.
Hold on, Congressman, let me just ask the General this.
What about in the days before when Ambassador Stevens had requested additional security and wasn't given it?
Yeah, it's a good question.
And the State Department is going to have to answer for that.
But that's not the policy question.
In other words, when 9-11 happened, America pulled together.
But there wasn't a presidential election.
But Democrats supported a Republican president.
When this happened, the Republican partisan machine decided they'd found a chink in President Obama's excellent foreign policy.
China was walking around?
What?
Boo!
I'm sorry.
It's so obvious.
...on full board to exploit it for partisan advantage.
So it's not to say that we can't get to the facts.
It's to say it's hard to get through the partisanship to get to the facts.
All right, Congressman, why don't you respond to that?
Because it is true that there are some real questions here about information that they had in intelligence or in the administration and when that information became available publicly.
It should be bipartisan outrage because in April 2012, our embassy was bombed, that consulate of Benghazi.
And on June 6, a terrorist activity there in Benghazi at our consulate breached the wall.
They blew our wall apart.
And the president, the vice president, the secretary...
Just to interrupt this just for a moment.
It's very interesting how people get very confused as to how to use the phrase blown up, blowing up, blown apart.
Blowed up is the way I like it.
You say blowed up, but he said they were blown, blowed apart, I think he said.
He said something weird.
Yeah, he didn't know how to say it either.
So that's why, I mean, I use the country and western redneck blowed up.
No, I like blowed up.
But what did he say?
He said, blew our walled apart.
He blew our walled apart.
He blew our walled apart.
No, he said he blew our wall to part, is what he said.
Okay.
Where it's either blew it to bits or blew it apart.
Yeah, he didn't know what to say.
I blew our wall to part.
Breach the wall.
They blew our wall to part.
And the president...
I'm sorry, that's great.
I would say, stop the interview.
Listen, Chaffetz.
What do you really mean?
The Vice President, the Secretary of State, diminished our security profile.
That's what's outrageous.
General, with all due respect, you've been out there touting the response by the President and what he's done.
What he didn't do, what he clearly didn't do, is react when we were bombed on June 6th.
Five days later, the British ambassador had an assassination attempt.
The British got out of town.
The interior minister in Libya on September 1st issues a warning.
It says, we've lost control of eastern Libya.
They put him on high alert.
Ambassador Stevens sends a cable back to Washington, D.C. on September 4th.
And this administration did nothing.
We have four dead Americans.
And with all due respect, he did not send in the military into Benghazi.
That firefight went on for hours, and I think it's an untold...
That's a real question about what this administration did when the firefarts started.
But it should have been dealing with it back in June 6th.
We don't know exactly what was done back on June 6th, because that hasn't been made a matter of public.
Where does he get any of his information from?
He's not in the administration.
He does a reality show.
He's looking for a job.
He does a reality show.
He doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
Back it up because he just blows smoke here and Chavitz calls him on it.
And he just keeps talking like he's hypnotized.
It's weird.
I think it's an untold...
That's a real question about what this administration did when the fire fart started.
The fire fart!
When did the fire fart start?
He actually says fire fart three times.
Hold on.
I gotta go back again.
It's always funny when people misspeak on television.
Firefart.
Hello, I'm here for the firefart.
It should have been dealing with it back in June 6th.
We don't know exactly what was done back on June 6th because that hasn't been made a matter of public record.
Yes, we do.
I'm sorry.
I don't know that because I haven't seen it.
And I haven't seen that.
And I don't know that we've had all the classified information released that's come out, whether you had a hearing or not.
Maybe you had a classified hearing.
I haven't seen it.
But I do know this.
Okay, I do know this.
I do know the administration, the ship, a naval ship, was deported in the area.
I know what the capabilities are on that ship.
And that was sent there to reinforce the diplomatic security.
I'm not going to address what happened in June.
I wasn't there in that era.
The FBI couldn't get in for weeks!
That's true.
The FBI couldn't get in for a week.
You had the CNN reporter go pick up the material.
We didn't go in and do that.
That was an FBI investigation team.
That wasn't the team that went in there right away.
CNN did, right?
And that was because the FBI didn't feel that there was security to come in there.
All right, well, gentlemen, thank you very much.
All right, now just imagine, John, for a moment, imagine you are the father or mother or wife or husband or son or daughter or any relative.
Of any of the hundreds of thousands of boys and girls who have either been killed or wounded in these idiotic wars.
How come we never have this conversation about what happens to them?
Now it's for diplomats.
Yeah, I know you made this point before.
But I got to keep making it because I think that people are sitting at home and they're throwing up in their mouths when they see this.
Well, the other thing is, I mean, if we go back to what's going on in Afghanistan, and we remember the Tillman incident, which is Pat Tillman, yep, finally coming out, where he apparently was, you know, assassinated.
Right, he was going to say, this is bull crap, and they essentially knocked him out.
What we can tell, he was assassinated as a publicity risk.
Yes, yes.
Yeah, no, I mean, we assume that.
But the point is, I'm not making a point about these four people or anything else.
No, I'm not.
We have these apologists out there like Wesley Clark, who should be ashamed of himself.
He's not really a spokesman for the administration, but he's just so dogged with this.
Well, we don't know anything about it.
And Chavitz says, yes, we do.
We did a hearing.
He said, well, we didn't know if there was classified.
No, the hearing wasn't classified.
It was public.
All right.
So let me just go back.
It's unbelievable.
Here's the thing that has not come up in conversation yet.
We had a drone circling this entire thing with its video being beamed back live.
This was being watched by intelligence.
I mean, for all I know, and I really will put the blame, I think that the president was probably watching the live stream of this going down because...
Why?
Because he was waiting for the ambassador to get kidnapped, like you and I discussed, in day one.
That's why we had soldiers on the boat coming down from Italy because they wouldn't come in and do the super rescue.
It was going to be the October surprise.
This is why, all of a sudden, Jimmy Carter's kid...
You know, do you think this is all coincidence that Jimmy Carter's kid finds some videotape of Romney?
They were standing by as a part of this whole scheme.
They were watching this crap live on the drone.
They were watching it with the Gorgon stare.
This is the fantastic high-res video system that these drones have.
This was...
I mean, it doesn't really matter because the truth will never come out.
We'll just have to whistle while we work and say, well, at least we know what happened and have to take some solace with that.
It will never, ever come out.
Maybe...
When we're 80 and you'll be 87, then maybe some book will be written with some declassified material.
Yeah, and no one will read the book except a few policy wonks.
Exactly.
The people will always read those books.
And now I want to...
And by the way, the only reason some of these policy wonks and intelligence guys read these books, just to see if their name is mentioned.
Of course, just to see if they're mentioned.
Now, can I move you towards drones for a second?
I just want to say one last thing about this, though.
I think I knew, but I didn't fully know that.
I didn't realize that the FBI was sent over to investigate.
They wouldn't go in because they thought it was dangerous, and the CNN reporter grabbed the diaries.
Yeah, picked up the diary.
I forgot about that.
It's so funny.
Yeah, yeah.
It was laying on the ground.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Anyway, okay, go on.
That's enough of this.
Yes, now over to the drones.
This fits in nicely.
Huge article in the Washington Post, and I have just a little bit of the...
It's like a year-long investigation, if you haven't read it, John.
And it brings up a great new meme, a great word for us to use.
And they even did a little video about it, a trailer for this five-page piece by Greg Miller, I think his name is.
And here's just a bit of the trailer for this piece, which you must read.
I think I first heard the phrase disposition matrix maybe a little more than a year ago.
It goes beyond the kill list that we've known and written about for several years, and it's an attempt to lay out in a grid the U.S. resources that go into pursuing terrorists.
So it's not just names and biographies, but, you know, what else is the U.S. government doing to try to track these people down?
What they're really talking about is the disposition of terrorism suspects, whether that's arresting them or, in what appears to be in most cases, killing them.
That's right, the drone disposition matrix.
Anywhere in the world, we can fire up a drone and come and kill you whenever needed.
And you've got to read through this thing, John.
This is such a huge, massive piece of machinery, this droning system that they've got in place, this disposition matrix, that it's no wonder that on one hand, Romney in the debate...
Well, in fact, I have his quote here about the drones, which I thought was fascinating how it was set up.
Here we go.
Listen to how Bob Schieffer sets up the questions about drones.
Governor, because we know President Obama's position on this, what is your position on the use of drones?
Do we really know President Obama's position on the drones?
How come Bob Schieffer said that, John?
Oh, that's interesting.
That's a great catch.
That's not a great catch.
No, I'm sorry.
That was the definition of a great catch.
I was like, wow.
I mean, we, of course, here at No Agenda, do know his position on drones.
I have two words for you.
Predator drones.
You will never see it coming.
You think I'm joking?
Alright, so I guess that's what Bob Schieffer was referring to, that the president is so sexually excited by killing people with drones that he even makes jokes about killing the Jonas Brothers with drones.
And here is Romney's opinion.
Well, I believe that we should use any and all means necessary to take out people who pose a threat to us and our friends around the world.
And it's widely reported that drones are being used in drone strikes, and I support that entirely and feel the president was right to up the usage of that technology and believe that we should continue to use it to continue to go after the people who represent a threat to this nation.
And there you have it.
Yeah, but he still went to the president for the question about drones.
Well, keep in mind...
Our strategy wasn't just going after Bin Laden.
You didn't even use a drone on Bin Laden.
We've created partnerships throughout the region.
He just slipped the Bin Laden thing in gratuitously.
In Somalia, in Yemen, in Pakistan.
And what we've also done is engage these governments in the kind of reforms that are actually going to make a difference in people's lives day to day.
Yeah, blah, blah, blah.
So he didn't answer the question about drones.
He was given a complete free pass by Schieffer, A, by saying, well, we already know what the president thinks.
And then when he didn't answer the question, Schieffer didn't say, excuse me, how about the drones?
You are killing people with the drones.
You're killing people.
That was really horrible moderation.
But of course, Bob Schieffer is also the guy that said this.
Because you talked about Pakistan and what needs to be done there.
General Allen, our commander in Afghanistan, says that Americans continue to die at the hands of groups who are supported by Pakistan.
We know that Pakistan has arrested the doctor who helped us catch Obama's bin Laden.
It still provides safe haven for terrorists.
I thought I was going to pee my pants.
And I watched the debate on C-SPAN, and we'll get to this in a second, which only had the split screen, which is significant.
But before we get to that, after the debate...
I think it was MSNBC, talked to former New York Governor George Pataki, who was a total stooge, and here it comes!
...in complete agreement with the President.
I was just watching the comment, Lawrence, and I think we saw two different debates.
He agreed on drones, and I think the American people agree on drones.
What about the withdrawal from...
What?!
Now, this is getting silly.
The American people agree on drones?
Where's his information coming from, perhaps?
How about this?
I don't even know that's ever been surveyed.
Ah, well, just out today, conveniently.
Oh!
Throughout Monday night's final debate between President Obama and hopeful Mitt Romney, viewers watching it on their Xbox 360 consoles were allowed to participate in a live poll.
And this was 20,000 people, so this is not a small poll.
No, but it's self-selecting with the Xbox.
Duh.
But this is now the news.
So when asked, do you support more use of drone aircraft to attack suspected terrorists?
How many percent responded yes, John?
What do you think?
I would say 75%.
Ooh, wow!
72%.
Of course, these are the same losers who sit there flying their pretend drones and flying a flight simulator on the Xbox.
By the way, think about it.
If you want a high number, that idea is genius.
It's beautiful.
But now it's news.
Find a bunch of Nintendo or Xbox users and ask them.
And now it's news.
Now it's news.
No, I got a whole other thing from Morning Joe on drones.
And by the way, you know, you should go to that.
But let me just say, a lot of this isn't presented probably.
If you presented it as drones being a threat to you, You could get a different...
And they are.
Well, here's a...
Would you not think your city police should have these drones in your neighborhood?
Yeah, flying over your house.
Watching you.
Flying over your house.
So here's a...
One of the guys from wearechange.org went up to Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Now...
If you don't know who Debbie Wasserman Schultz is, she is the chairwoman, the chairperson of the Democratic National Committee.
So she's kind of in charge of all the Democrats.
And she's just annoying.
I mean, is there any other way to...
She's extremely annoying.
What's the name of this website again?
We Are Changed?
We Are Changed.
You're not going to have this video on there, I don't think.
I just want to look at it.
Well, We Are Changed is kind of like a precursor to...
You know, it's like a part of the Ron Paul movement in a way, I'd say, precursor to that.
So it's been around.
But they get into good events.
This guy, I forget his name.
You can look it up in the show notes, 455.nashownotes.com.
And he asked Debbie Wasserman Schultz a very poignant question about the drones and the kill list.
President Romney becomes president.
He's going to inherit President Barack Obama's secret kill list.
This is going to be debated.
How do you think Romney will handle this kill list?
And are you comfortable with him having a kill list?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Obama has a secret kill list, which he has used to assassinate different people all over the world.
I'm happy to answer any serious questions you have.
Why is that not serious?
Because I have no idea what you're talking about.
Of course you don't.
I don't know about no kill list.
Of course you don't.
I don't know about no kill list.
Yeah, of course you don't.
I don't know about no kill list.
I, the, um, the, the morning Joe clip, I'll save that for Sunday cause it's rather long.
I'd rather get kind of into the debate for a second because I picked up, I saw a tweeter from you saying that, you know, there wasn't all that much and maybe we shouldn't discuss that much.
But before we get to the actual television coverage, which I know I'm dying to talk about with you, a couple choice clips from the debate itself.
First of all, President Obama's military plan surprised me somewhat.
Kirk.
But when it comes to our military, what we have to think about is not just budgets.
We've got to think about capabilities.
We need to be thinking about cybersecurity.
We need to be thinking about space.
Oh really?
Now, does this not immediately validate my cuckoo theory about space wars?
It doesn't validate your space wars thing at all.
He wants to have...
But I can see where you'd think that.
Well, what's our space thing?
We have to be thinking about cyber and space.
I don't know.
Come on!
I don't know what he's talking about with cyber.
I think he's just blowing smoke.
I think he's just saying these words.
He's throwing words out.
Did you hear him throw this one out?
The central question...
Did you hear him do that?
Yeah.
I thought that was genius that he threw out the central question.
But there was a setup.
Once again, there had to be a...
How do you have a central question?
Is it in the middle of something?
What does that even mean?
Well, you want to hear the whole answer?
Yeah, I want to hear what the central question is.
Well, he did actually have a central question.
Well, that's good.
Central question.
At this point, is going to be who's going to be credible to all parties involved.
And they can look at my track record, whether it's Iran sanctions, whether it's dealing with counter-terrorism, whether it's supporting democracy, whether it's supporting women's rights, whether it's supporting religious minorities, and they can say that the President of the United States and the United States of America has stood on the right side of history.
Do you know what the central question is?
Yeah, who's more credible, him or Romney?
That's the central question.
So there was a tell in, of course, the ZINGER! This is what our debates have come down to in America.
Besides the fact that these are staged sideshows, we're just waiting for, where's the zinger?
Where's the zinger?
Was that always called a zinger, John?
A zinger?
I think the zinger term goes back into the early 1900s, yeah.
A zinger.
Let me look at the etymology of zinger.
I know, I've heard it since I was a little kid.
Although I think it's become more popular.
Early 1900s.
No, it says here, a cruel quip.
Earlier it was baseball slang for a fastball in 1957, but 1970 apparently is when the phrase zinger came to be.
News to me, okay.
Well, that's the etymology...
At monline.com.
There may be a better...
Let me see.
This is the dictionary.com.
They may have a better version of it.
That's okay, I think.
All right.
Did you watch the pre-debate when the heads of the debate committee came out?
Can I do my zinger first?
Oh, yeah, zinger.
Yeah.
So here's the setup for the zinger.
But Obama makes a mistake, which tells me that this was rehearsed and he was waiting for it.
And then he botched it?
Well, I don't think Obama botched it.
I don't think he botched it, really, other than it was dumb and childish.
Excuse me, our Navy is smaller now than any time since 1917.
Okay, so Romney said, and by the way, he's got all kinds of buddies who build ships, which was Miss Mickey's immediate observation.
Why is he talking about the Navy?
What, does he build ships now?
Like, yeah, probably.
So Obama comes back.
What was the year again, John?
What?
This is 2012.
No, the year that Romney just mentioned in that clip.
I don't remember.
Jeez!
You're in the debate.
He's talking about World War I or something.
Excuse me, our Navy is smaller now than any time since 1917.
Now, you're in the debate, and you hear him say that.
Are you going to answer with 1917?
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Bob, I just need to comment on this.
First of all, the sequester is not something that I propose.
It's something that Congress has proposed.
It will not happen.
The budget that we're talking about is not reducing our military spending.
It's maintaining it.
But I think Governor Romney maybe hasn't spent enough time looking at how our military works.
You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916.
So I think that – Oh, that's very – You know, I miss that.
He was ready for it.
It was rehearsed.
Because this joke...
This is not something...
I'm sorry, your president is just not this good.
This was written, and it was written well, but the way he delivered it would have been great on The Tonight Show or on Letterman or Jon Stewart, but not in the debate.
He came across as a total condescending a-hole.
Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets.
Audience violation!
You laughed!
You made a noise!
Audience violation!
Be quiet!
We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them.
We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines.
And so the question...
So, you know, I think...
That's very condescending.
Oh, I mean, the Porsches and Bayonets, okay, it was a funny line, but then they continue to follow on with the aircraft...
Yeah, and then it's tiled on.
Yeah.
No, and it was written, and he blew it.
I think he blew it by doing that, and I think that, again, you've got these...
This is why I'm saying that this was not a good debate for the president.
Well, you know, I disagree.
These debates at this point, for one thing, they had both a World Series game and Monday Night Football take 20 million people away from this audience immediately.
Mm-hmm.
And those are essentially the people who are the swing voters because, you know, they're just normal people.
The all you have left...
Wait a minute, what do you mean normal people?
Normal people watch football and baseball when they have a chance, if given a choice between watching these two assholes and watching a good sporting event that is especially the World Series.
I think it was the playoff game.
Let's put it this way.
These were probably people who had jobs.
And they probably did have jobs.
But here's the point.
It's playing to the audience.
I mean, if you watched, and I tried to watch both sides of this, and I do it.
If you watch Current TV or MSNBC, oh, he's so funny, and he had that line, and Romney didn't know what to do about it, and he made Romney look like an idiot.
He had the Ed Schultzes of the world going, oh, Romney was taken to the cleaners by Obama.
Wow.
And then you had the same thing in the opposite way on Fox.
There is nobody that watched this thing.
This was a meaningless event.
Now, the thing that was interesting that we picked up on and a couple of our producers emailed us about this, and I noticed this immediately because, again, I watched the C-SPAN feed, which is not a great television event because they don't switch.
All they do is they show you a split screen, Romney left, Obama right.
The split screen was mostly used on the other things, too.
Let me back up then.
The problem that we had, because I looked at this during the first debate, and in the first debate, they had a couple different kinds of feeds, and people were using one of the two, and there was a full view of everything that was used on C-SPAN and PBS, and then all the networks used the split screen.
I think somewhere along the line, they decided that you want to consolidate to one look, and everybody had the split screen.
Can I ask you a Curry Devorak Consulting Group question?
Because here's something I don't understand in the split screen.
It is a...
It is almost an unwritten, maybe it even is a written rule in television, programming, production, and broadcasting.
If you're doing a split screen, you do not have the two subjects looking out of screen, but you have them looking into the screen.
Why is this consistently done differently in these debates?
Why are they looking away from each other instead of towards each other?
Which is the natural way that they are actually sitting?
Right.
Well, for one thing, they've got them on the screen in the way they're sitting, but I think they're shooting cross-camera.
Well, they are, but they don't have to do that.
No, no, they're not shooting cross-camera.
No, I think that, yeah, no, they have the...
No, they're not shooting cross-camera, otherwise you would have what I'm talking about.
No, no, what you just said, they have to be shooting cross-camera to get that effect.
No, no, no, think again.
No, you're incorrect.
They're shooting it from different angles.
No, no.
Here, let's take a look at the desk.
Now, you have Romney on the left and Obama on the right.
Right.
And Schieffer in the middle.
If you have a straight-on shot of Romney from looking at Schieffer or looking at Obama, he's going to be looking toward the middle.
And the same thing with Obama.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You're right.
You're right.
It's an extreme cross is what it is.
Yeah.
It's an extreme cross.
These are the cameras that are way off stage and they're zoomed in.
Extreme cross.
You're right.
You're right.
I'm wrong.
So it's an unnatural, it's a very unnatural way to watch, because you see them come in, you see that they're looking at each other in real life, but they're looking away from each other in the video.
Why is this decision made?
Well, I think the reason is because there's only, for one thing, this one was done by ABC, by the way.
But all the debates have been this way, John.
All of them.
Yeah, I know, and here's why I think.
I think they're trying to make Obama look bigger than he is.
Well, this is what we noticed, yeah.
So you have to have the cameras off-axis.
They can't be anywhere really...
You can't have three cameras lined up right down the gut.
So you have these two cameras way off-axis, and those are the two cameras that come in on the split-screen shots.
And then when you go to one...
All of a sudden you go to the Schieffer shot, then you can call for a full...
Right.
with Obama looking bigger at a distance than Romney.
And then the other camera is positioned the other way, the opposite way, so Romney looks smaller because it was made to look as if Obama's a big, huge bruiser.
And if you looked at the top of their heads, which should be lined up by virtue of the way they set up these things...
Yeah, because they changed the chair height, so the two heads should be exactly at the same level if you put a ruler on your screen, and it's not.
Obama's head is higher.
And in reality, Obama's head is, I think, probably two hat sizes smaller than Romney's.
The guy has a small head.
Yeah, he doesn't have the big giant head like Romney does.
The big water head.
Clutch, clutch.
Wait, hold on.
I'm Romney.
It doesn't work on the noise guy.
Anyway.
But, I mean, that's the problem with all this stuff.
I mean, they were almost shut down on this debate because the guy came out at the beginning from the debate council and he went on about it.
You know, they were going to have an injunction against the debate by some sort, some candidate.
Who's wisely decided against it at the last minute.
So we're having the debate.
They were actually going to shut this thing down.
It was obviously...
What injunction?
For what reason?
On what grounds?
Because they wouldn't let our friend Gary Johnson in the debate.
Oh, okay.
Well, good luck with that.
That was never going to happen.
No, but apparently it was pretty close to shutting down the debate.
It was close.
I would have given Romney a lot of points, but he did exactly what the president has done before.
And this shows me that we already heard the president make this, I call it a mistake.
And now Romney did it.
So both of these gentlemen are constitutionally unqualified to lead this country.
Here's Romney's version of why.
...is the highest responsibility of the President of the United States, which is to maintain the safety of the American people.
That is not the highest responsibility of the President of the United States!
It is not the number one priority.
It is not what you are set out to be.
The number one job of the President of the United States is to uphold and defend the Constitution.
Both these guys do not say that.
No, they never will, because these two guys are essentially rogues, which has been the case with all the recent presidents.
And by the way, I should mention, my daughter, who's up in college, in Oregon, she said that all the students have voted already.
Yeah, early voting, sure.
They have a lot of early voting, and...
Mimi says that she voted for Gary Johnson.
Good.
And I said, wow, that's pretty interesting.
And then she said the kicker was, apparently all the kids did.
Explain how this early voting works.
I don't understand it.
It makes no sense to me.
Probably while we're all talking about voter fraud, it's actually happening now because we're not looking at it.
Has this always been this way where you can just go and vote whenever you want?
In California, you've always been able to file what's called an absentee ballot.
Yes, okay.
And an absentee ballot is early voting.
So now that's been institutionalized in some states.
Right, but it doesn't get counted.
It gets counted.
But I mean, it doesn't get counted.
It doesn't get counted until Election Day.
Well, that's what they say.
But an absentee ballot is...
So you're telling me...
Now, let me finish.
Okay.
So in Washington State, they've institutionalized this.
So essentially, and by the way, there was a rumor going around the country that Romney's son has been buying up all the voting machine companies, which is bogus.
And then they named the states, and Washington was one of them.
Washington hasn't used the voting machine ever.
Washington is essentially mail-in votes.
Well, listen to this.
So if that were really true, explain this report.
Some say if they didn't double check.
Hold on.
Their work, their vote would not have counted.
Good evening, thank you for being with us.
Early voting, of course, in full swing.
But this evening we're hearing about some concerns inside the voting booth.
That's right, election leaders, they're saying it's not a big deal, just simple tweaks needed on some machines.
Our Brandon Jones joins us live tonight in Greensboro.
And Brandon, you talked with a voter who says she punched her choice for president several times before the machine even accepted it.
Yeah, that's right, Neil.
Sheryl Crow Mollis told us that she cast her vote for Governor Romney, but every time she did, it went for President Obama.
Now, the Guilford County Board of Elections...
So that's Romney's son, did a good job on that one.
Hey, boss!
Our theory was they've always been trying to blow the election up.
Hey, boss, this is proof of our theory.
Hey, boss, I did it.
Boss, dad, boss, I gotta rig the voting machines.
Yeah.
So when they vote for you, boss, dad, then they go to Obama.
What?
So early voting.
You know, this is really great for our show.
We should have more presidential elections.
I have more.
I have more.
Did you watch the third party debates?
No, I did not.
Why should I watch it?
I've made my selection.
Well, then let me play the best.
I was surprised.
What's the guy, O'Donnell, on MSNBC? Chris O'Donnell.
Lance.
Lance O'Donnell.
Lance O'Donnell.
Larry.
Maybe it's Peter.
Larry.
That's Larry.
Yeah, Larry.
Larry O'Donnell.
That guy, he's a total douchebag.
Well, when you hear what he had to say...
And the piece he did on the third party elections, it was like he's going to hell, but he still wanted to try and maybe, maybe on the off chance he could get maybe just a visit to heaven on weekends.
And imagine if Congress passed a bill that the president signed that allowed indefinite detention without charge or trial.
That would be issue one at any presidential debate, wouldn't it?
The media's favorite debate moderator, Martha Raddatz, would have forced a full discussion of that one at the vice presidential debate, wouldn't she?
Well, Congress did pass that law last year, and President Obama signed it, and he never mentioned it on his list of accomplishments in any of the debates.
And he was never asked about it, not by the media's second favorite debate moderator, Kendi Crowley, and not by Mitt Romney.
It never came up.
At the two-party presidential debates.
No one pressed the president on how he could possibly sign a bill like that into law and no one pressed Mitt Romney about why repealing that law is not on his day one list.
If that law worries you, if it concerns you in any way, Your concern, your interest in that law is not represented by either of the two major parties.
But at last night's debate, that law was called the very definition of tyranny.
That spells tyranny.
It's the very definition of tyranny.
I would have vetoed the National Defense Authorization Act, allowing for you and I, as U.S. citizens, to be arrested and detained without being charged.
This is unallowable and is a basic offense against the very foundation of American liberty.
And it should be revealed...
One sentence answer, Larry.
If I were president, I would have vetoed NDAA. This is pretty good so far.
I mean, this is an actual Larry O'Donnell piece on MSNBC. In the instantly immortal words of Larry King, we're on drugs.
The media is feeding you a drug called the two-party system.
Big media is incapable of covering a political landscape that is more complicated than the two-party system.
Big media does not have the resources or the interest or the intellectual capacity to cover something more complicated than the two-party system.
But it's bullshit.
They do have the resources.
Yeah, of course they do.
He's just peeing.
Someone peed in his Cheerios or something.
I don't know.
He's like, yeah, maybe he didn't get a raise.
Two-party system and the Electoral College have conspired to make most voters feel irrelevant.
Wait a minute.
Is Larry O'Donnell a conspiracy theorist?
Is he talking about conspiring now?
...to the outcome of the presidential election.
The major party candidates ignore most states, and they ignore most voters most of the time, and then we act surprised.
He goes into this whole tirade about how they only campaign in eight states and no one gives a crap.
And I think what he's trying to do is say that the entire idea of the Electoral College is a broken system.
Well, that's interesting because I wrote a column that I actually published on the blog, and I'll link to it in the next newsletter.
Oh, great.
And what I claimed, and I got nothing but grief for this, by the way.
Ah, bullcrap, nobody's...
Wait a minute, let me see.
Is that comment number four?
Most comments.
My argument is that at some point, the media itself, because it's so greedy and it needs so much advertising money, that the media in any of those states like California and these other states where we don't get any of the big money for the campaigns, because it's all being spent in Ohio or Virginia, we get none of it.
I have not seen one.
Advertisement for Romney or Obama this whole time.
You don't see it here in Texas either.
I mean, that's obvious.
That's money that could be spent here that's not being spent here, and they're going to kill eventually.
And this is just one of the forays, this guy here.
He's a stooge for all this stuff.
They're going to kill the Electoral College because the money's not being spread around evenly.
And that's...
What's going to happen?
It's a foregone conclusion.
So that's not a good thing then, because the Electoral College is part of the system that is supposed to work very well for us.
The Electoral College is set up to be a kind of a, in case everything goes crazy and Hitler's elected, they can say, no, Hitler's not elected.
It's a check.
Oh, it's a poison pill is what you're saying.
Well, it's not even a poison pill, but it is designed to prevent some sort of abuse.
But it's a goner.
Hold on, hold on.
I just want to understand.
I just want to understand.
So the Electoral College, and the way I understand it to work is, so if blue wins, then they will all, the Electoral College will go, oh, it's blue.
But that is only their honor-bound obligation.
If they feel that blue is Hitler, then they can say, oh, no, no, it's red.
Is that what you're saying?
Technically, they can do that.
Technically.
That's a pretty good system.
But we need to become electorates.
What are they called?
Electoral dudes?
You know how you get that job.
Electrolytes.
We have to become them.
Electrolytes.
How do you become an electrolyte?
It's probably a drinking club that we can't get into.
Whatever the case.
Yeah.
Whatever the case, the way it works now is that California, you know in advance that California's going to vote for Obama no matter what.
And so all the California electoral votes will go to Obama.
And so there's no reason to advertise here trying to get some of those votes because it's a winner take all.
So California, all the votes go in.
And so there's only a few states where it's up for grabs.
And that's where all the money goes.
And I just don't see media putting up with this forever.
It's like there's money being...
I mean, I would want...
If I'm...
Got any common sense?
I'm buying a newspaper in Ohio and just doing a crappy newspaper, and then when election time comes, I'm soaking up as much money as I can.
I mean, that's smart money.
Why would I want a newspaper in California if I can't get any money?
So then what is your predicted outcome, just so I understand exactly?
The Electoral College will be abolished for a popular vote.
Huh.
And once there's a popular vote, then they have to advertise everywhere.
You really think that's going to happen?
It's not happening tomorrow, but that's exactly what Larry O'Donnell was talking about.
That's what I thought was so funny, is that Larry O'Donnell...
Lawrence, yeah.
We'll call him Larry.
Leslie.
Leslie O'Donnell, because it's such an in-between name.
Leslie O'Donnell is saying this because of the whole money situation.
He doesn't give a crap about the third parties.
He doesn't give a crap.
The rest of his entire tirade is all about, I vote in California.
No one cares.
My vote doesn't count.
Yeah, he represents media.
Yeah.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
He plays his role as a left-wing, you know, all Republicans should die.
I mean, essentially, Ed Schultz is the best at this, by the way.
And then he gets paid a good salary, and he goes home, and he, you know, beats his wife.
Oh, John, hey, you know what?
You've got to be very careful, because in the United Kingdom, if you say that, you can be arrested.
Yeah, I know.
Shut up, slave!
Let's move on to another topic here, because this is...
And by the way, none of these guys beat their wives, because I don't think they have enough...
I don't even think they're married.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry went off the track.
Yeah.
So there's a lot...
I apologize.
There's a lot going on here in Britain, where the United Nations evil...
Plan is already in effect.
People are now being arrested and put in jail for telling abhorrent jokes on Facebook, for wearing anti-police t-shirts, and just being mean.
Oh, for just being mean, you can be thrown in jail?
Well, let me give you three examples.
That sounds like a very pleasant place to visit.
Let me give you three examples, and then we'll go into this document that I've read, which is, I don't think we will celebrate another five years of this show.
Let's put it that way.
So here is the first one.
On October 11, Barry Thew, a 39-year-old man from Manchester, was sentenced to eight months in jail for the crime of wearing a t-shirt that said, One Less Pig, Perfect Justice.
Now this was, he wore this shirt a few hours after two police officers were shot dead in Manchester on September 18th.
Sorry?
Oh.
Well, so, you know, it's not nice, but he wore this t-shirt that said, One Less Pig, Perfect Justice, and he was arrested and now has been convicted to eight months in jail for wearing this t-shirt.
October 8th, Matthew Woods, a teenager from Lancashire, was jailed for three months for writing a joke on his Facebook page.
A five-year-old Welsh girl called April Jones was missing, and Matthew Woods decided to make some jokes about it, writing on his Facebook stuff like, quote, Who in their right mind would abduct a ginger kid?
Yes.
It's not nice.
No, it's not nice.
It's not nice.
Some of this sick hatred for redheads that you find in England.
That's because they hate the Irish and the Irish and Scots.
Right, but the whole thing is whack.
Yeah, no, I get the joke.
It's just sick.
Yeah, so you can't do sick jokes.
July 17th, a 17-year-old boy was arrested and questioned by police after he sent insulting tweets to British Olympic diver Tom Daley.
The 17-year-old was spared jail but issued a harassment warning.
And in March, a 21-year-old student Liam Stacey was sentenced to 56 days in jail for making crude jokes on Twitter about a then very ill footballer called Fabrice Muamba.
So, none of this that I'm hearing here is really socially acceptable that these people are doing.
Hold on.
What is this?
Go away.
Don't you know I have a show?
My fifth anniversary show?
Douche.
That's the guy who always gets me the voiceover auditions.
It's obvious how involved he is in my career.
I thought it was Rachel from Card Services.
Yeah, right.
So none of this is socially acceptable or nice, but it is now illegal in the United Kingdom.
And was it not...
Who said...
You know, about your right to free speech, even though I disagree with what you say, I will defend your right to say it to the death.
Was that Francis Bacon, or who was that?
No, no, it wasn't Francis Bacon.
Peter O'Toole?
I don't know.
Someone said it.
We do the same.
We don't do this.
We do a different version of this.
I mean, we use political pressure.
Ah, ah, ah, hold on, though.
Hold on.
Because now, using nicknames...
Is now going to be deemed a form of bullying, which also will be deemed illegal.
In Britain?
Oh yeah.
Depending on the nickname.
Like calling Hillary Clinton Lucifer?
I'm telling you, this is knock time.
That's a compliment.
It's a step up.
It's to step up from the hellspawn that she really is.
So there's this new document came out, which, and, you know, we've talked about it.
So you call somebody four-eyes.
Hey, four-eyes, come over here with the ball.
No, all of this is going to be outlawed.
It will become illegal.
It will, John.
It will.
But certainly the Lucifer, how about douchebag?
Do you think that...
Oh, the douchebag thing is totally...
It's over.
It's a violation.
It's total violation of all...
Can you imagine if I say, hey, the Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron, is a douchebag, if I... Yeah, you can get thrown in jail.
I can get thrown in jail.
I can be refused access to the country.
Yeah, this is like England in the 1400s.
Yeah, but this is coming from the United Nations and the harmonization of international law.
We've spoken about Agenda 21.
And Agenda 21 is this huge document, which, John, I believe you recently just printed it out just for shits and giggles.
And you can wallpaper the bathroom with it.
And it is not law per se.
But it is a guideline that there are committees in every single country that is a member of the United Nations, which is all the important ones, and they use this as guidelines and it propagates and these people are so hypnotized and they love their little government jobbies so much because, you know, what else are you going to do but just, you know, buff, buff, whatever, that it becomes law after a while.
So there is the internet version of Agenda 21, and this document is 158 pages.
And after 40 pages, I gave up and said, we don't have enough show in the universe to read everything that is so messed up about this document from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the UNODC. The document is the use of the internet for terrorist purposes.
But it's very important that the use of the internet, little subline, for terrorist purposes.
And I do need to read a couple of things I've highlighted for your pleasure, John, because this will show...
Now, this document is a mixture of case law, jurisprudence, And suggestive legislative language.
So this goes beyond what Agenda 21 does.
This actually says, in this country, like Britain, this is illegal, that is illegal, that is illegal.
We need to harmonize that so that everyone adheres to the same rules because, of course, the Internet is one global network.
So this is, I'm showing you now, hear me now, believe me later, there will be no October 26, 2017.
Because we will not be on the air with this program.
I hate to say it, but it's not going to happen.
Just right off the bat, the introduction on the inside cover of this brochure, a statement from Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General.
The Internet is a prime example of how terrorists can behave in a truly transnational way.
In response, states need to think and function in an equally transnational manner.
Now think about what he's saying there.
Because the internet is global, we have to think and function in an equally global manner, which means harmonize all the rules.
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime plays a key role in providing assistance to member states in furtherance of its mandate to strengthen the capacity of national criminal justice systems.
Are you following me here, John?
Yeah.
So they set up a working group.
The Working Group Encountering the Use of the Internet for Terrorist Purposes of the Counterterrorism Implementation Task Force, which somewhere my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail.
It's aimed at coordinating the activities of the United Nations systems in support of the United Nations global counterterrorist strategy.
And here it comes.
Member states resolved, which means agreed, to coordinate efforts at the international and regional levels to counter terrorism in all its forms and manifestations on the internet and use the internet as a tool for countering the spread of terrorism while recognizing that states may require assistance in this regard.
Here comes the cavalry, but they're wearing black outfits.
They're coming to get you on the internet.
They're using the internet to combat terrorism.
But what exactly is terrorism?
John, do you think we could define means by which the internet is utilized by terrorist groups?
For instance, what is the number one way the internet is used for terrorist groups according to this document?
Email.
In fact, email is number three, but let's start with propaganda.
Propaganda is number one.
Primary use of the internet by terrorists is for dissemination of propaganda.
Propaganda generally takes the form of multimedia communications, providing ideological or practical instruction, explanations, justification, or promotion of terrorist activities.
These may include...
We have a pancake breakfast for you terrorists on Sunday.
It's a two-for-one.
We got pancakes with a fried egg on top.
These may include virtual messages, presentations, magazines, treatises, audio and video files, and video games developed by terrorist organizations or sympathizers.
You can be a sympathizer, you see.
Nevertheless, what constitutes terrorist propaganda as opposed to legitimate advocacy of a viewpoint is often a subjective assessment.
Further, the dissemination of propaganda is generally not in and of itself a prohibited activity.
However, other exclusions...
Oh, here it is.
One commonly accepted exclusion with respect to the right to freedom of expression is the prohibition against the distribution of certain categories of sexually explicit content.
Certain categories.
They don't even mention which ones.
The prohibition of which is deemed to be in the public interest in order to protect certain vulnerable groups.
Wow, what could that be?
It could be anything.
Yeah, but they're hinting at skiddy porn.
Yeah, other exclusions, all of which must be provided for by law and shown to be necessary, may include communications that are clearly detrimental.
To the protection of national security and communications that are both intended and likely to incite acts of violence against individuals or specific groups of individuals.
How can you define these things?
You can't.
Well, just give us the list.
What was the number two item?
Well, that was number two.
Oh, I thought it was propaganda was number one, and that sounded like propaganda.
Well, this is, no, this is, these are the sub-points of propaganda.
You don't want to...
No, I want to know the three main things.
Propaganda, what's number two?
Okay, hold on, I'm going down.
If email's number three, what's number two?
Well, no, no, well, email was, had a specific, number two is financing.
This is how they take away our donations.
Online payment facilities offered through dedicated websites or communication platforms make it easy to transfer funds electronically between parties.
All right.
Well, these guys are crazy.
Funds transferred often made by electronic wire transfer.
Here it is.
Credit card.
Alternative payment facilities such as PayPal or Skype.
Oh, I didn't know.
That's interesting.
Skype has a payment facility.
I didn't know that.
Uh-huh.
So these guys are so on top of things that Skype somehow is a payment facility.
Can you tell me where that payment facility can be found, Adam?
Well, it's right near the call button, which you can't find either.
Number three is training.
I thought number three was email.
No, no, I'm getting to email.
That was a subsection.
Number three is training.
The platforms of the internet act as a virtual training camp.
Okay, I've had enough of this.
These guys are just lunatics.
Yeah, but they've got all of the jurisprudence.
We have to fight this bull crap from the get-go.
Jeez.
Can I just say preparatory secret communications, which is number 22 under.3?
Here it is.
A simple online email account may be used by terrorists for electronic or virtual dead-dropping of communications.
Oh, please.
This refers to the creation of a draft message which remains unsent and therefore leaves minimal electronic traces, but which may be accessed from any internet terminal worldwide by multiple individuals with the relevant password.
Dead dropping of email messages.
Oh yeah.
This guy's been watching too many movies.
Well, it's 138 pages of it.
It's about the size of a two-hour script.
Two hours and ten minutes to be exact.
You're going to see that this is going to become law.
I'll just do the last one,.64.
The Council of Europe, these are the guys who are going to help you out with it, have also elaborated the additional protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime, which we're a member of, John, concerning the criminalization of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems.
This is where it's going to be really bad.
This additional protocol may also facilitate the prosecution of terrorist acts committed by the interwebs with the intention of inciting violence on the basis of race, color, descent, national, ethnic origin, or religion.
The additional protocol is open to all contracting states of the Council of Europe, the European Convention on Cybercrime.
So, you're not going to be...
Basically, you're going to be able to say, if you go online and you want to post something, you'll be able to say, government is great.
That's about it.
Our government is fantastic.
I've got a blog post today.
Government rocks?
I ate a cheese sandwich while thinking about how great our government is.
Hey, by the way, so I thought that the big attack against this Murdoch bonehead, you know, the congressman who says, well, you know, it's from God when a raped woman gets a baby.
His name is Murduke.
Murduke.
Yeah.
And I do have the clip.
I thought that the guy may or may not be seen as an idiot, but he has the right to think that and say it, and it's right in line with the rest of this, and everybody, you know, is all over him as some sort of an evil person.
He just has an opinion.
Well, it's being set up the wrong way, but yeah, we'll listen to the clip.
Oops, sorry.
This is that issue that every candidate for federal or even state office faces.
But a new distraction for Romney cropped up in Indiana, where Richard Murdoch, the Republican candidate for Senate, made jaws drop with his comments on why abortion should be outlawed in the case of rape.
I came to realize life is that gift from God, and I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.
This fall, I'm supporting Richard Murdoch for Senate.
And by the way, if you heard that, they clipped the Romney thing, right?
This is CNN, by the way, the Wolf Blitzer.
Let's stick it to Romney.
Of course, it's possible that this is set up again, because I think they're still trying to blow the election, but that's just me.
Oh, you think that it may be?
Well, because he actually did...
Every time you turn around, one of these idiots shows up with some commentary like this.
And I think he has every right in the world to feel this way about anything he wants to.
Wasserman Schultz, by the way, was the biggest complainer about this.
Romney should do this and Romney should do that because of this guy.
I'm thinking, what do you got to do with it?
You're a Democrat.
But anyway, I found this whole thing to be theater in some sort of a weird kind of transcendent level.
I was reading a...
I found this other really interesting website.
Hillbuzz.com, I think is what it's called.
And these are kind of like these whistleblower-like websites.
There's a couple of them.
And I'm trying to see if I can find this, but apparently all of the people who work in the White House and around the administration, all these kids from Chicago, they're all going back to Chicago and they're interviewing for jobs and they're all trying to get a gig because they think they're all going to be out of a job come January.
So they're already all going back now.
They're nuts.
But you never know.
Of course you never know.
I thought that was...
I'm not betting on this election, that's for sure.
No.
A couple of...
I'm sorry, go ahead.
Well, I got a little side thing here, a little humor.
So I was watching the Apple rollout for their new products, right?
Really?
Yeah.
And the...
Yeah, because I write about this sort of thing.
It may be a good idea to see what they're up to.
That's okay.
You can say whatever you want.
So Tim Cook, I didn't realize it because I've never really seen him do much on the stage because they stream this one and I never get invited to these things.
I'm blackballed.
So now they're streaming, which they should have been doing for decades.
I didn't realize he tries to sound like Steve Jobs when he talks.
He literally sounds like Steve Jobs, as a matter of fact.
Tries to sound like him, and he walks around back and forth.
He wears Steve Jobs outfits.
No, that's not true.
He did not wear a turtleneck.
He's got a Steve Jobs look.
It's beside the point.
It's not a good look for an old man, is what it is.
I'm surprised I ain't got a ponytail.
So that's what he needs.
Yeah.
And so he makes this comment, which is a Steve Jobs kind of thing, and it just makes him sound like an idiot.
It's a non sequitur.
It's a stupid thing to say.
And I clipped and I went, oh, brother.
Why is iPad so phenomenally successful?
Well, it turns out that there's a simple reason for this.
People love their iPads.
I'm going to do that.
I'm going to try that tonight.
Honey, I love you.
It's simple.
Because I love you is why I love you.
Don't you love me because you love me?
What a...
Hold on.
Hold on a second.
Douchebag!
Yeah, but let me tell you.
The whole company talks like jobs.
Because I did not watch this thing.
Because, you know, I was like, duh.
We all know it was an iPad Mini, which apparently is what I've been carrying around.
I have an iPad Mini.
It's called the Galaxy Note.
And guess what?
It's a phone, too.
What a bonus.
I have a big...
That's what you should write about.
I got a big bonus.
But I watched the video...
I always have to watch this.
I'm Johnny Ives.
I'm Johnny Ives.
I'm bloody interesting and I'm really, really smart.
And so I created it.
From the beginning, the iPad was designed to be very powerful, very capable.
Powerful.
But also remarkably simple.
Simple.
It's simple.
It's simple.
So what do we do?
Our goal was to take all the amazing things that you can do with a four-size iPad.
Oh, and make it smaller!
A product that is so much smaller.
Oh my God!
I'm Johnny Ive!
I've made it smaller!
One of the things that makes iPads so incredible is that there's almost no end to what you can do with it.
No end to what you can do with it!
These people all talk like jobs.
We love our company.
We love the iPad.
It's so beautiful.
We didn't just make it smaller.
We designed the entire product from the bottom up.
It's thinner.
Honey, you're only 188 pounds light.
How much does your wife weigh?
Oh, she weighs 150 pounds light.
Because you're not thick.
You're thin in the world of Apple.
You know what?
I think this is finally the stumble I've been waiting for.
To see these arrogant douchebags fall with this product.
And they screwed everybody.
Hey, you just bought an iPad?
It's a new one!
Six months later!
It's better crack.
Come on.
You know you want it.
Screw these guys.
Well, I didn't expect to go on a rant about it.
I just thought it was the dumbest thing I've heard for a while.
People love it because they love it.
It's irritating.
And meanwhile, there's a real problem with iOS 6.
There is a real data problem.
And Apple's ignoring it.
Like, they ignore all real problems.
And we have people who are...
It's costing real people real money.
It's costing us money.
It's costing us real money.
Thank you.
We have these iOS 6, iPhone 5, iPad 19 download things going crazy.
And, you know, I've reported it and I've reported it to the people inside Apple and say, I'm going to go see if we have an open ticket on this.
Open ticket?
You should stop the assembly line for this.
Anyway, you know who I'm betting on?
Shall I tell you something?
Who I am thinking is going to be awesome?
Awesome.
Yes?
Marissa Meyer.
I'm going short on her.
I'm going long on Marissa Meyer.
And I have been looking...
I've been using Yahoo's search.
Bing!
It doesn't matter what it...
Bing!
I don't care what's on the back end.
I like the way it's presented.
I like the mobile interface.
I like what I'm not getting is a bunch of douchebaggy ads everywhere and lame results.
So whatever they're doing...
I like it.
And I think Marissa Meyer, I think people are going to be surprised about what she can do.
I think she's actually got it.
Anyway.
Who cares?
Yeah, that's what I say.
Now, I do have another, since we're in the beef business.
So I did the Twitch show last Sunday, right?
And this guy Scott from Scott Vest, the guy who makes the clothes with millions of pockets.
I can't believe you actually modeled like a douchebag you were standing with.
Yeah, I did.
I acted like a douchebag.
It was so funny.
And the chat room loved it so much.
It's beside the point.
Can I get to the point we don't have a lot of time on this show?
So I went and he says, you know, you should get something, you know.
So I said, well, I went to the website, scottbest.com, right?
I looked around at the stuff.
And so now, whatever I do on the internet, on that machine, every single ad, the top banner ad, the side banner ads, the ads at the bottom, are ScottFest ads.
Oh?
Yeah.
Wow.
It sounds to me as though they've sold some idea.
And people should notice this more often.
I'm going to do this.
ScottFest, S-C-O-T-T-V-E-S-T dot com?
No, S-C-O-T-T-E-V-E-S-T. And then you start going around USA Today, whatever you go to, I guess there's a cookie there, and they go, yeah, there's the cookie.
This guy looked at the Scott Vest page, so that's just inundated with ads.
Now, I don't know if they're ripping off the Scott Vest guy with these phony ads or what the deal is, but it's a waste of money.
And a waste of real estate and a waste of advertising inventory on me.
And it just never ends.
I mean, I have gotten hundreds of these ads.
And this reminds me of Rachel from Card Services.
I get called by her at least twice a day.
Okay, so I've gone to Scott.
Do I have to click on a couple links here on scottvest.com?
No, no.
Yeah, maybe.
Just so they think like I'm really interested.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm going to have the...
Oh, they put your picture up from the...
That's cool.
No, they did?
Yeah, look.
There's John modeling.
This is not good.
Psych.
Oh, psych.
Oh, very funny.
You deserve that.
You deserve that.
Come on.
Now I'm going to go to USA Today as you recommend.
Hold on.
Advertisement.
It's loading.
I'm loading an advertisement here.
Centrum Silver.
Apparently the internet thinks I am deficient on my multivitamins.
Yeah, well I'm not sure that USA Today is the best.
Just put it in advance.
You've already done the deal.
Now wait until Sunday.
You'll have seen Scott Vestads by then.
Just wait.
Well, I guarantee you that the Twit Network is involved in this somehow.
I have this Ghostery thing.
Do you have that?
Ghostery?
Yeah, I have Ghostery.
Ghostery's good.
If you then see, like, some of these sites, there's like 59...
I've had to turn it off.
Well, no, you can turn off the balloon.
Because some of these sites have a million things that crop up and then you kill it and more keep coming.
Well, what I love is that it'll have 90 things that are tracking you and you have to figure out which one to turn off so you can watch the video.
Of that page.
Yeah, no, I find it...
This way that the internet's working today, it's disgusting.
I recommend people get Ghostery just to see how you're being tracked.
And what all these tech sites, by the way, you know, Engadget and CNET and all of these sites, these are the ones that track you the most.
So, you know, enjoy.
Enjoy.
Whatever.
We've got a couple more things.
You know, we have another show coming up on Sunday, and I have a couple more clips I'd like to play.
But, you know, we do have a kind of a special...
This is a special show for us, and I'd like to...
And we're going to spend a lot of time thanking the 5555 donors since there's a lot of them.
I think there's a hundred.
What?
Yeah, I think so.
Holy crap.
And so I think we have to go into our final segments here, and then if we have some time left, we can...
Well, can we just do a little funny, then, before we get out?
Okay, I get to do the first funny.
I get face-slapping bullcrap.
Does this need to be set up, or is it good to go?
No, no, just play it.
How about a little more on our special Wrinkle Rehab Report?
This is a new way to turn back the clock.
Some people paying big bucks to get slapped.
And they say it could help you look younger.
We want to know, does it work?
ABC's Nick Watts, giving it a try.
That is Tata, a pioneer in our universal and vain search for beauty.
She takes a face and she slaps.
Don't give a cat if you want to be beautiful and handsome.
Recently trained in Thailand, Tata claims she's now the first face-slapping practitioner in the Western Hemisphere.
And what is this supposed to do for you?
It makes you look good.
And it's $350 for 15 minutes.
And she just slaps the crap out of you.
They came from Thailand, from some S&M shop, obviously.
I mean, it's the stupidest thing.
This is your news on Good Morning America.
Well, it should have been the donkey punch, but okay, we'll take the face slap.
Well, you think that was Good Morning America.
On CBS, they have a special doctor.
All these shows, they have their own...
Their own experts.
So they have a report, which is a report that, of course, we would normally talk about, and I think Sunday is going to be the day where we get to all of the real down and dirty stuff it'll keep, about the TSA replacing, pulling out all of the machines that would give you cancer.
I'm talking about the naked body scanners.
And they are replacing them now with a new contract, which, of course, we had to start cycling some money through it all, with the machines that maybe not give you cancer, but they probably rip apart your DNA. Right?
The so-called gingerbread.
The millimeter wave.
The millimeter wave.
Now, what is another word for millimeter wave?
The terahertz wave.
Well, these machines have a very specific name.
Oh, I don't know.
Backscatter.
No, no, I don't think that's true.
No, it's the x-ray that's the backscatter.
We agree that the term is backscatter.
I don't...
I didn't agree.
Do we agree that the term is backscatter?
There is a term called backscatter.
Thank you.
Is HealthWatch a new concern about those full-body scanners that the TSA wants to put in airports?
Here with details is our own Dr.
Jennifer Ashton.
Good morning.
Good morning, Maggie.
Big write-up in the New York Times citing cancer concerns because of the amount of radiation these machines emit.
How much radiation are we talking?
Well, in terms of the backscanner radiation, which...
Hello!
What?
Backscatter?
The backscanner?
Yeah, this is a doctor coming...
She's the expert who came on to talk about the backscanner?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, brother.
It's not backscatter, it's backscanner.
And just listen to her.
She does it four times.
Because of the amount of radiation these machines emit.
How much radiation are we talking?
Well, in terms of the backscanner radiation, which is one type of scanner that is theorized to be used in airports, the experts say that it is equivalent to the amount of radiation that you get in a dental x-ray, only 1% of that.
So we're talking a fraction of the radiation that you get when you get your teeth filmed.
That certainly does not sound like a big deal, especially for somebody who doesn't travel very much.
Exactly, and a lot of radiation experts are now weighing in, and even if a billion people are scanned using these backscanner type of radiation scans, the thinking is that it could possibly result in 10 additional cancer deaths per year.
So she's rolling out all these statistics, but she can't even get the name right.
Backscanner.
Oh, God.
Backscanner.
This is embarrassing.
No, but that is your expert on the CBS News.
News!
The Tiffany Network.
Edward R. Morrow is spinning in his grave, I tell you.
That's what's going on.
I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on the agenda in the morning.
Here we go.
How are we going to do this?
Do you just start and I go to the bathroom?
Here's what we're going to do.
We're going to do two things.
One, we're going to do our normal donation segment.
We're going to put aside the 5555s and then after the birthday thing and we get all the regular guys out of the way, we'll thank each 5555 well-wisher.
Okay.
Read their comments and it's going to be a while because we have a fairly decent group.
And we want to, by the way, thank...
Thank our producers profusely for helping us out here.
For celebrating five years?
Yeah, helping us out celebrating.
In fact, they like the show so much that they chimed in.
So let's start with our regular donors, Christina Lake in Lisbon, Maine, 166-65.
Her donation is 5555 times 3, which wasn't the same as the other one when they multiplied it, but that's okay.
I'd like to congratulate you on your fifth anniversary three times, once for myself, once for my fiancé, Richard Harriman.
Please credit the entirety of this donation toward his knighthood.
And once for the person I mention in the following story, I live in Lisbon, Maine, but I work in Waterville.
This past Tuesday, I returned to my car after work to find a note on my windshield.
I recently placed in an In the Morning bumper sticker on my car, and at some point during the day, someone stopped by and wrote this note to me.
In the morning to you as well, fellow no-agender listener from Hallowell!
Ha!
Cool.
It completely made my day.
So I decided I would pay it forward in a donation to the best podcast in the universe.
Can I get a fluoride in the morning karma for this kindred spirit in Hallowell?
Oh, that's cool.
That is so fun when that happens.
That is fun.
And the karma goes with that.
Thanks, Christina.
We've got karma.
And your kindred spirit.
Yeah, whoever it is.
Whoever you are.
Lyman Derby, S. Derby in Nicholasville, Kentucky.
155.55.
Been a boner for about three months, and I was hit in the mouth by Jay Hamilton.
I've been listening to every minute of every show since then.
Please accept my donation at 55.55 for the anniversary and 100 for being the best podcast in the universe.
Please de-douche me.
Send some karma for my vaxectomy.
On Friday, I'll be listening to you guys while the doc mangles my man parts.
Woohoo!
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
I just have to read something from the chat room real quick.
Miss Small Biz.
Can't believe Adam didn't catch that doctor's first statement.
Scanners that are authorized to be in use.
Thank you, chatroom.
Can't believe it.
What?
Backscanner?
No.
She said backscanner.
The doctor said something else, and I just love it when people say, I can't believe you didn't catch it.
You say, stupid!
Oh, yeah.
Why do you even look at that stuff?
Maxwell Robertson, Crown Point, Indiana, 11323.
A little citizen woo for you.
Drunk donation, mofo.
A special karma shot to forward deployed Scott McLaughlin because he needs it and get Monash and Poppy.
The last karma shot a few months ago helped to guide the incoming mortar rounds away from his position on the base.
Or did it draw it in?
Wow.
Give him a karma.
Yeah, well he wants a Shazan Wu karma.
Shazan Wu!
You've got...
Jane Middleton in Austin, Texas.
Right down the street from you, she's got binoculars on you now.
John, the Austin airport is fantastic.
The old Mueller airport runway was too small to handle large commercial jets.
This is based on the fact that I was bitching about the airport in Austin.
Bergstrom is an old Air Force base converted to civilian use and actually has one of the largest runways in the world.
Mueller is now a vibrant mixed-use development, and Bergstrom can no longer be used as a drone again, naturally.
That being said, I like a trains good, planes bad.
All aboard trains good, planes bad.
And may I suggest that when people are supporting the show, you continue to use that voice like you really think they're obnoxious.
That works.
I think the donations go up by doing that.
They go way up.
Yeah, that's really more nastiness towards our supporters.
Well, you know, it's a theory.

Trevor Chapman in Brampton, Ontario, won $111.10.
Oh, giant red book.
$111.10, doubling down on the 55.55 for the best podcast in the universe.
Please call out DarkOrc20 as a douchebag.
R.J.B. Raps and Kirkrid.
W.J.B. Raps.
What did I say?
R.J.B. Yes, W.J.B. Wilbert Raps.
Hey, I'm still liking the show to the greatest extent.
John, give me a tip on what's interesting in the state of Washington.
I'll send you an email if you send me one.
John at Dvorak.org.
I'll be traveling to the state in May in Idaho.
He's going to go all over the place.
Thanks for the best podcast in the universe.
Jesper Holmberg in Duval, Washington.
Huh.
Maybe you should get a hold of Jesper.
Can I get a de-douching to expunge my record of past douchebaggery with the karma chaser to help me avoid becoming a re-doucher?
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Some of the language we come up with here is phenomenal.
I love it.
He's a lucky guy with all eights.
Chris Ball in Chicago, Illinois, 71-26.
I wish you guys a very happy fifth.
I would like to request some book karma from my friend who wrote her first book.
We hope you like this song, which came out this week.
Thank you, citizens, sent using PayPal.

We'd be very happy to give you some book karma.
Here it is.
You've got karma.
And here comes another sideline.

We have a slew of 69ers today.
Swazzle-nuffers.
Rosanna Oglesby in San Antune donating again to my husband Tyler's knighthood donated two weeks ago for travel karma and it worked I made it to all my destinations safely I needed my car repaired but it was very cheap I think the karma was the reason for the low cost I'm donating this amount because I miss Tyler, and I can't wait to see him in a couple of days.
I'd appreciate it if he could have us some more travel karma for the trip home.
And I can't read the rest of this.
I think Jesus wants travel karma.
By Ayn Rand.
You've got karma.
People are not requesting it because you hate it so much.
She says that she wants the Atlas Shrug thing because she loves the way I mock the clip.
I don't...
Yes, you do.
You go, no, never.
I ain't mean.
You use that same condescending...
In fact, you should run for president.
You're such a condescending grouch.
You know the way the ships go in the water?
They float in the water.
Do that sequence.
Do the thing about the aircraft carrier.
Yeah, you know, aircraft carriers where the planes land on the little aircraft carrier and then they take off.
You know about that?
Christopher Yagy in Ottawa, Ontario, 6969.
I'm crying again!
I've enjoyed the show since the first episode, so I wanted to congratulate you on your five-year anniversary.
Let's hope for another five years.
I haven't donated as much as I should, so I'd like to request a Hey Shittison to the head de-douching.
Okay.
Hey Shittison to the head de-douching.
Hey Shittison.
You've been de-douched.
In Cypress, Texas, 16969 from Anonymous.

Can I get some karma for an upcoming professional certification exam?
Of course.
You've got karma.
I wish that you were my dad and I grew up with you and you'd be doing all that crap when I was...
Did you do that with your own kids?
All these voices?
The kids do it to us.
Well, no, that's because they learned, right?
Yeah.
That's cool.
I bet you were a fun dad.
If you'd like a cynic.
Scott in Leesburg, Virginia.
6969.
This is the last time he donated 6969.
He's the one.
You played a clip of Panetta talking about cyber war in the same episode.
I regret to inform you that upon hearing that asshole shill, my 6969 donation was rendered flaccid.
Please douchebag him.
Douchebag.
Congratulations on the anniversary of the Outstanding Shows.
As of late, the quality of analysis has been great.
I'm really going to miss the show after the cyber Gestapo shuts it down.
So will we.
Please send me some F the Karma Cancer to Crash Helmet Kathy.
She has just been under two months before she's had to endure a week of Uncle Rick and myself playing our slide whistles.
You remember Kathy, right?
Remember the crazy helmet that had no agenda on it?
Yeah.
Right.
That's a great picture.
You've got karma.
Another anonymous donation for 6969 from Ashley or Ash from Gitmo Nation East.
Congratulations on the five years.
Love the media assassination.
Please send me a shut up slave to the head karma.
Shut up slave to the head.
Shut up.
You've got karma.
Sir Mitch Bedron in Long Beach.
Hey guys, throwing a little swazzle enough your way.
Congratulations on the five years.
I've asked for karma before, just never for me.
Let's keep that going.
So for my smoking hot wife Jill, I need MILF karma and throwing a little girl shut up sleigh for me at the end.
It's getting complicated.
MILF. That's one mother I like.
You've got karma.
Yes!
And guess who's here?
Baron von Pelsmacher.
Oh, hey now.
69, 69.
The central question is that this has got to be the end of the Swazilnuf streak.
Out with a bang.
Fact!
Happy anniversary, Joe.
Do you catch yourself doing that around the house during the day?
I don't do it enough.
I don't do it enough.
It always gets a laugh.
No, no, it's stopping funny here in Camp Mofo.
I was informed.
I'd be like, fact!
It's a fact!
No, it wasn't funny.
Audrey Symes in St.
Louis, Missouri.
6969, I'm so happy my boyfriend Nolan turned me on to no agenda.
His birthday is this November 3rd, and I felt that donating to help keep our conversations flowing would be a good gift.
Please give us both some karma for this future and a de-douching for the douchebags at Bar Louie that inadvertently brought us together.
You've been de-douched.
You've got karma.
Anonymous in New Rochelle, New York, 6969.
A screw lupus karma requested for his wife.
You've got karma.
I think you can just say F. Lupus is terrible.
I think you can say F. Lupus.
F. Because that's what he asked for.
F. Lupus.
Make sure the karma is bad.

Dramon, is that in Holland?
I think so.

I think so.
I just got some unexpected dog-watching funds and wanted to forward it to some of you guys as I currently find myself in need of new employment.
Could I get a Trains Good, Planes Bad karma shot in honor of the four-hour-a-day train commute I no longer have to do?
Absolutely.
All aboard!
Trains Good, Planes Bad!
Woo-hoo!
You've got karma.
Where's he commuting to?
Prague?
No, it's probably just because of the congestion.
I mean, trains, it's not what it used to be anymore.
I think he used to get my nation lowlands.
The train system is so messed up and they're always late.
And the biggest problem in the Netherlands when they say there's a problem with the wiring, what do they call it, the overhead wires?
You know what, that's code.
And that's code for someone jumped on the tracks.
It's a suicide.
I learned this when I was doing radio there.
Whenever the official traffic announcement says there's a problem with the overhead wires, that means it was a suicide.
There's three a day.
Oh.
It's messy.
They've got to stop the train, clean it all up.
Yeah, I bet it is messy.
Jim Garrity, Tallahassee, Florida, 6969.
David Weed, Hickory Corners, Michigan, 6969.
Just started listening this year and you easily became my podcast of choice.
Happy 5th anniversary.
Please send my wife and I a Saigon Woo in the morning and karma shot.
Okay.
Saigon Woo in the morning.
You've got karma.
Uh, Jan Kola Peña.
Jan Kola Peña.
Jan Kola Peña.
In Essen.
This is a make good donation.
In the country of default.
In the country of default, that's what it says in the spreadsheet.
Yeah, well that's it.
If you think about it, that could be any country in Europe.
This is a make good donation.
Oh, good one.
This is a make-good donation for me challenging and somehow beating Adam with a quadruple jingle combo on Thursday.
So relax, Adam.
No jingles this time.
And sorry for the annoyance, by the way.
Big thank you for bringing back the DSC from time to time.
Folder big hair.
Hope you win, Jan.
Okay, so I will say someone just helped me out with a thematic daily source code and put together a whole bunch of Halloween clips.
Songs?
So I'm going to check them out.
As long as they're not all monster mash, if there's something good in there, we might actually do it.
And that wraps it up, right?
For 69-69.
69!
69, dude!
That's a good group.
It still didn't beat to 22.
Chris Hernandez in Corpus Christi, Texas, 64-64 in the morning.
After hearing that your anniversary is on the same day as my birthday...
I had to donate.
I've been listening to you guys since earlier this year and never donated.
So I need a de-douching for not donating to you guys sooner.
I also want to shout at Karma for the guys at Mega64, Royce Kokami, and the rest of the internet soldiers out there.
Finally, thank you for being the best podcast in the universe.
You've been de-douched.
You've got Karma.
What a sweet note.
Yeah.
Joseph Esposito.
Joe the Dish Slave, in fact, in Stockton.
Sir Joe.
Sir Joe the Dish Slave.
Sir Joe.
Yeah, Sir Joe.
Sorry, sir.
With a five-year congrats plus a little extra to make it a nice round six.
I'd appreciate it if you could send some karma to my father-in-law's He could be the second for all we know.
For all we know...
You've got karma.
All right, so we're putting the brakes on here, John?
No, no, no.
We've still got more.
No, no.
We have the non-5555.
There's stuff from the left.
Oh, right.
I'm sorry.
Keith Gill in Riverview, Florida, 5540.
Long-time $5 per month subscriber here, our local NPR station, begging for money again 24-7 and annoys the crap out of me.
So I decided to donate to you guys instead.
I would have liked to donate $455 for your 455 show, but I can't afford that, and I think my wife would kick me in the nuts if I did.
So I'm giving the inverse instead, $5540.
I'll probably get kicked in the nuts anyway.
By the way, I was going to say, that's a really good donation number moving forward.
Do the reverse.
Yeah, that is a good idea.
So for Sunday, it would be $6540.
Yeah.
I like that.
Good one, Keith.
Yeah, good catch.
We never think of these, by the way.
It's weird.
Never, ever, ever.
It's a miracle we came up with a 55-55, which saved the show.
Which, by the way, was something else.
First, you had like 55-26.
I can't even remember how I came to this stupid number.
You had the dumbest number ever.
It was like, yeah, it's great.
It was idiotic.
We do 2604-55.
It makes so much sense.
Yeah.
I'm very embarrassed about that.
Okay.
All right.
What do we have here?
Anyways, 455 is a special number for me.
Not only is my favorite Oldsmobile engine size, but I use the number on my website, Keith455.com.
Thanks for everything.
I really enjoy the best podcast.
Awesome.
Anyway, doesn't he karma?
Nah, he doesn't care.
Simon Reed.
Sir Simon Reed in New York City.
Happy birthday, Noah, Jen.
Happy birthday to me.
It's my 33rd on the 26th, so can I get a little birthday karma?
Thank you.
Of course.

Thank you.
Jaren's Sloot in Zellum.

Not five more years, but 55 more years.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Keep doing what you're doing because it's the best podcast in the universe.
Sir Coggs in Parts Unknown, 5245, Sir Coggs to you sent a donation last week, but the note wasn't read.
So I'm doubling down for double karma.
I'll spare you the nitty gritty, but my roommate and I could really use some staying out of jail slide whistle karma.
You have to use your slide whistle.
The cops aren't as medical marijuana friendly here in California as they make it out to be.
It depends on what town you're in.
It depends on your city.
Especially in some parts of Bakersfield and Kern County, you're in trouble.
The 5245 is jail on a telephone keypad, so hopefully there's some special numerological connection that will help with the karmic transmission.
Also, can I get a douchebag for all the involved officers, and especially the douchebags at the jail?
Douchebag!
Our cheeks were swabbed for DNA at our booking, and when we signed the form, the douchebag jokingly told us it was our consent to allow the state to clone us.
What?
No, that's funny.
Really?
Yeah, we're going to clone you, son.
For smoking some weed.
Are we messed up or what?
Yeah, totally.
Anyway, thanks for the best podcast in the universe.
Give him some karma.
He needs it.
Where's your slide whistle?
What happened?
Okay, let me hold on a second.
I got it.
I found it.
I'm warming it up a little because mine is cold.
Woo!
You've got karma.
I think they overdid that one.
Well, they've got to stay out of jail.
It's a big deal.
Graham, yeah, really, for what?
Graham Bucknell in Durham, North Carolina.
Very nice town.
5140.
Happy fifth.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, karma, if you can get it.
Yeah, of course.
Hey, man, going to jail, getting your cheek swabbed for smoking a plant.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
And finally, Kyle Bauer in Parts Unknown, $50.
And now we have our birthdays and our nightings, and then we'll give a 55-55 call out to everyone who gave us a congratulatory donation.
It's your birthday birthday!
Ah, Sir Simon Reid congratulates himself turning 33 tomorrow on our official birthday.
Royce Kokami says happy birthday to Chris, turns 20 today.
Narada Staples says happy birthday to wife Lauren, celebrating today as well.
Kelby Koning says, hey mom-in-law, I love you, happy birthday.
That's special.
Chris Hernandez congratulates himself celebrating today.
Audrey Symes says happy birthday to her boyfriend Nolan.
He will be celebrating on November 3rd.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.
And the No Agenda show itself.
That, John, is you, myself.
Mimi, Miss Mickey, Buzzkill Jr., Eric DeShill, Void Zero, Mr.
Oil, Gitmo Slave.
I know I'm forgetting somebody, but everybody who helps make this show what it is.
Thank you so much, and happy birthday to us.
Yeah, I would mess it up, wouldn't I? That's fine.
I tried.
We got a lot of nights today.
Well, of course we do.
People are all trying to...
Oh, sorry.
Was that your blade?
Yep.
Did you see it?
Look at the size of this thing.
Yeah, your unit is actually...
Huge!
Huge!
Jonathan Spirey!
David Ross!
And your wife, Toni, step forward, Tom Bushey!
And Robert Gold!
All of you have contributed to the best podcast in the universe.
Thank you so much for making this a special day for us.
A great celebration.
It is wonderful to bring all of you into the round table as knights and a dame.
So hereby, I pronounce thee, Sir Jonathan...
Sir David, Dave Tony, Tom Bushy, and Robert Gold.
Sir Robert, all of you are nights and a day with the No Agenda Roundtable.
We've got your hookers and blow.
I'm sure Tony would like the rent boys and chardonnay.
We've got your gaishas and sake.
We've got your hot pants and booze and your winches and beer.
All right here.
What was the one we forgot?
The something rosé and...
Oh, something rosé.
It was rosé and...
Oh, and Rubenesque Women in Rosé.
Oh, Rubenesque, right.
Yeah.
The list continues to grow, and I promise one of these...
I'm doing this from memory, so I promise one of these days I'll write that down.
If you write it down and have a little piece of paper on the wall, so then when the cops come over, they see this list, they're going to wonder, what the...
You're violating the United...
You're violating the agenda 21 code, boy.
Son, come on over here, because it's time for you...
We've got to swab your cheeks, if you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, because we've got to clone you, son.
That's a...
So before we get into thanking everyone who donated for our anniversary...
And by the way, I do want to mention that we will have until Friday night, midnight, we still have the 55 donation open.
And after that, we will no longer accept that amount?
Well, I mean, if somebody wants to send it in, but it's not going to be about the anniversary anymore.
It's just going to be a normal donation.
I just think we block that.
We could, but it seems like a lot of work.
Just block it.
Just block it.
I'm not blocking it.
I can't block it.
I don't know how to block it.
I'd have to go through the list on PayPal and refund everybody.
It's like, you know, we have a work ethic thing going on here.
We have Buzzkill Jr.
for.
Let him do it.
So all I wanted to say is, John...
Thank you very much for being my partner in crime here.
I really enjoyed doing your show with you.
Well, I actually want to thank you For being my partner in crime, and you produced the show, and you do the sound effects, which is great, because it's a lot of work.
And the other thing is that I think that you've become the dominating analyst, as the two-man analyst team goes.
And I think that some of the stuff that you've done, in terms of pure news, information, and intelligence analysis, is world-class.
It's world class.
Well, that's very kind of you to say, but I have analyzed my analysis.
And as I listen through it, it would not be anything if we didn't do these things together.
That is what makes it work.
Well, that's why team analysis is better than one guy.
And there's no I in team, John.
No, but...
Because I've often thought, and lots of people email me and say, you know, dump that old man.
Do it on your own.
You don't need him.
Yeah.
Get rid of him.
We don't need him.
Yeah, I get the same email from my fans.
And I'm like, that would be...
It's like stupid.
These are your fans.
These are your fans.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that could be too.
But it's like, I can just imagine trying to do this show by yourself.
I mean, it's doable.
No, it's not.
It's not doable.
There are some podcasts where people try to do this.
No, it's not doable.
It's not doable.
No, it's doable, but it's not good.
Wait, no.
If it's not the same as not doable, it would suck to high hell.
There are a number of people out there that try to do that.
I've heard their podcasts and they have an interesting analysis, but they don't have.
There's a lot of times, and we've done this, where you'll do it.
It's not often, but it happens often enough where you do a misanalysis.
Yeah.
Where you're just off about some little thing or you missed a little gotcha.
And the other guy, you or me, will get on it and say, did you notice that he said this?
Oh, jeez.
But it's not even that.
That is an important part of it, but it's not even that.
It's a chemical balance that somehow works, and it's right down from us spurring each other on, or just showing that you're annoyed.
If we lived near each other and we saw each other too much, we would not get along.
No, no.
Well, I'd put a cap in your ass.
No, you wouldn't.
No, I wouldn't.
You'd be clobbered by a baseball bat before you had a chance.
I would not bite the hand that helps feed me.
Let's thank our 5555 folks.
Yeah, this is really awesome that everyone checked in.
Yeah, and like I said, we'll do a few more on Sunday, hopefully.
Yeah, because that'll be...
Tomorrow is the day.
Tomorrow is the drop-dead day.
Yeah, because Sunday will still be basking in the glow.
David J. Lister in Provo, Utah.
Been listening for a long time, but haven't donated since my wife tried and failed to get me a podcast license for my birthday last year.

Good old David Clevenger in Sterling, Virginia.
Been a long time since I've been able to donate, but I feel compelled to do it now as I would miss the show if it went away.
Thank you for bringing us important information in short form so we don't have to listen to all the bull crap spewing from the pie holes of the talking heads on the boob tube.
You're doing God's work.

Yeah, okay, keep going.
You get it, we'll open the note up and just read it.
I'll see if I can find it.

It's not like this is easy.

That's from last year?

No, no, I understand, I understand.
And the clippity-clop, and the karma, yeah.
Italian girl.
Shut up, slave!
Oops.
King of the Hill.
I don't want to do Clip of the Day.
It's Clippity Claw.
The message is clear.
Just Clippity Claw.
You've got karma.
It's not easy, you know?
No, no, it's not.
In fact, it's amazing you can do it at all.
James B. Mann Ringgold, Louisiana.
Congrats.
Please consider upgrading the string and soup cans.
Thank you for the compliment.
Andrew Haas, Geneva, Illinois, 5555.
Life has been so good, I thought I'd finally share some of my cash with you guys, please.
Some getting laid karma.
Okay.
That's swazzle enough normally, but okay.
You've got karma.
New Red Rig leaders in Ontario, Oregon.
I didn't even know there was an Ontario, Oregon.
55-55.
Sir John Snyder in Chicago, Illinois.
Nuts.
55-55.
Thanks for all the shows.
Stop.
Kevin Fairchild.
Lando Lakes.
Illinois.
Nuts.
No.
No.
Lando Lakes, Florida.
Please give yourself some well-deserved karma.
I look forward to another five years of crankiness and cracked pottery from you both.
Yeah.
You've got karma.
I think we've pretty much established it's not going to happen for another five years.
No, but we're going to go as long as we can.
Yeah, oh yeah, that's for sure.
And if it did happen for another five years, we'd be kind of shocked, but we'd do it.
They're going to have to shut us down.
Ooh, that's man talk.
They have to shut us down because we have good support here, it looks like, and I hope it continues on Sunday's show.
Roy.
Oh, playing random.
Someone's talking back.
Someone's on my frequency.
Okay, I'll turn that off.
Roy Pingel in Brooklyn, New York.
Dear John and Adam here, I am giving an Encore 5555.
I'm assuming somebody is taking care of the swaz on nuff side of things.
Congrats again on having the best podcast in the cosmos and universe, and I don't agree with you a lot of times, but I love how you guys deconstruct a mass miseducation machine, the popular lapdog media, which keeps begging for biscuits from the two corporate wings of our one-party system.
I like that.
Let's say that.
Begging for biscuits.
I love how you can deconstruct a mass miseducation machine, the popular lapdog media which keeps begging for biscuits from the two corporate wings of our one-party system.
That is poetry.
That's a keeper.
That's a show opener is what I'm thinking.
The country is a company town with no public square, plaza, or commons.
Adam, I'm much...
Roy, you're on a roll.
I much prefer to get my sweet fix from sugar rather than from the mind-fooling fetus DNA, but how about the natural sugar substitute stevia?
By the way, I think it's bitter.
Stevia.
As far as vaccinations goes, thanks for debunking the clamor for the HPV vaccine and raising concerns for serious side effects.
It's become very hard to get...
Get around vaccinations and have your child enrolled in school here in New York, where some vaccines for real nasty diseases might be advisable.
Anyway, some sources advocate avoiding a child getting more than one vaccination at a time, but for example, not to allow a child to receive an MMR on one shot.
And then he goes on.
So, you know, Ms.
Mickey is in line now to get her visa slash green card, a green card, I guess, because we're married, so she has that opportunity and they've approved her and now she has to get a change of status, the Form I-485.
Do you know that they have, now you have to get immunizations?
She has to have all these shots?
For what?
In order to get a green card.
What shots does she have to have?
You name it, including the flu shot.
Everything.
You've got to have tetanus, meningitis, focacoccalus.
Meningitis?
Not the meningitis.
No Americans have the meningitis shot.
It's a breast exam.
I swear to God.
I kid you not.
Wow.
And she has to do it at an approved place.
Which, you know, of course, you know, that's going to be nice.
And then she wants to, she wants to enroll.
It's time for your breast exam.
And Bill, you want to do it?
Are they big?
No.
How do you do it?
Are they big?
No.
They're big, but they're not huge.
No, they're nice.
They're beautiful.
There's a guy in this office.
He wants big.
He doesn't want nice.
And then she wants to enroll in a class at UT, a photography lighting class.
She has to get the shots again.
They won't enroll you at UT unless you have all your shots.
She has to get the same shots twice?
Well, hopefully she'll be able to have a booklet and prove that she's had these shots.
But, I mean, what is this coming to?
Pretty soon, you want to walk on the street?
Where's your papers for your shots?
Have you had your shots?
No, this is all part of a great marketing scheme.
I mean, we've been pointing this out since the get-go.
I mean, I didn't know it got this far, but I mean, some parts of the country are obviously worse than others.
But Texas is, you know, really susceptible to this sort of marketing stuff.
Well, let me just...
Well, that's not just Texas.
Texas has got a lot of problems.
Here it is.
Vaccination requirements for entrance into the United States.
I just want to read this to you.
Ready?
Ready?
Mumps, measles, rubella, MMR. That's one shot.
Polio, tetanus, diphtheria, toxoids, pertussis.
Toxoids?
What's that?
It says tetanus and diphtheria toxoids.
Diphtheria.
Diphtheria toxoids.
It's like Rolaids, I think.
Okay, go on.
Pertussis.
Hemophilius influenza type B, hepatitis B, and any other vaccine-preventable disease recommended by the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, which I think these days includes influenza.
I'm going to count the MMRs.
One, two, three, four, five, six, so seven shots.
Seven shots, and they fill up your breasts.
Unless you get svelped up.
What?
Nothing.
Anyway.
Sorry.
Yeah, onward.
Colin Criswell, colon, colon, colon, colon.
Sydney, New South Wales.
Happy birthday to you.
Congratulations on reaching five years for the best podcast in the universe.
Can I get a Huntsman Karma combo to set me up for the long, hot summer?
You've got karma.
That's right, Colin.
The Huntsman Karma always does it.
Dame, black dame actually, Janice Kang, Milpitas.
Congratulations for five years of the best podcast in the universe.
Seems the only appropriate to celebrate your anniversary alongside my beautiful wife's 50-year of being cancer-free, which we are celebrating in a few weeks.
She does not have a history of breast cancer in her family.
The doctor said it was just a case of bad luck.
Sense of life is filled with so many twists and turns.
She had the courage, bravery, and strength to face her biggest opposition straight on.
Always looking for good karma and everything we do.
Requesting additional karma with this Donation.
Please send out a boatload of Huntsman Karma since he was a U.S. ambassador to China when our family toured there a few years ago.
Huntsman Karma.
Oh, I thought you were going to...
No, we edit on this flight.
You've got karma.
Joan Dodifray from Motown, West Virginia, Morgantown.
In the morning, John and Adam, happy fifth anniversary.
My husband and I are celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary on 1026 as well.
So obviously I had to get in on the celebratories.
It's great that our special days coincide because I forget my own wedding anniversary pretty much every year and so does my husband.
Please do this promo every year to remind me to hint around for gifts now on.
Okay, thanks.
Can I please have it?
Yay!
It's just too delicious to believe in, my friends.
There's some karma for you guys so we can do this again next year.
You guys are the best.
So here's the problem when we do it together.
Is that I can read ahead and I can get the karma things lined up, but I can't do that when I'm reading at the same time.
Yay!
It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
You've got karma.
Maybe you should just read him.
Anastasia Treckles in Valparaiso, Indiana.
Congratulations on five great years of the best podcasts in the universe.
Looking forward to the next five.
Richard Garrett in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Here's those 55-55 to celebrate five years of propagating the formula and five more years of hitting them in the mouth.
I should have donated on Sunday because it's been a real rough week of midterm exams and essays.
I love these students, by the way.
Some of which I had to put a bullcrap about the importance of voting for eight pages.
I'm glad I had you guys pumping through the earbuds to keep me sane and keep the puke down.
I haven't received any grades yet, so I can get a retroactive karma and a douchebag call out to all my boner friends who still won't listen to the show.
Douchebag!
Alright, here's the karma.
You've got karma.
Mike Caddick in Stay Well, Victoria.
Shut up and take my money.
Slick Media, LLC. First of all, go Saints.
I don't have the dough for this, but thank you for your hard work, and at least I could do.
Please give the New World Order two to the head and give the U.S. Constitution a bill of rights some karma.
New World Order gets two to the head, and here's the constitutional karma.
Thank you.
You've got karma.
Torben Peterson in Oslo, 5555.
Raymond Knistra in Drockton.
Uh...
Frizzlin, I guess.
Raymond Kleinstra.
Raymond Kleinstra.
Congratulations on five years' time.
Very bad, Karma.
No blame, but damn.
Now I had a choice.
Flowers for my girlfriend or donate to you.
My girlfriend is carrying a new human resource, so I have to skip a month of flowers.
Would you like a new shot?
Would you like a new shot at Karma?
Keep trying.
Jobs, jobs, jobs for new jobs because of narcolepsy.
Please keep up with the good work going ahead.
Yes.
Friesland.
Jobs.
Jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Alan Wichin, Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
Robert Ryan, Charleston, West Virginia.
Longtime boner, now a donor.
Here's another five years.
Mike Keeler in Los Wages, Nevada.
Here's some hookers and blow money for you.
Can you see what happened with my podcasting license?
I never received a number two.
Oh, I'm doing that on the spot.
He's doing it right now.
Constantine Rakuten.
Sir Constantine to you, Toronto, Ontario.
Harshad Patel.
Bilston, West Midlands.
Josh Riker, New Fairfield, Connecticut.
Guy Boazi.
Sir Guy Boazi.
Guy Boazi.
Guy Boazi in Tel Aviv.
Andre Mickelson, Virginia Beach, coming in for a birthday anniversary donation.
I originally wanted to donate $69.69 and keep it alive, but it looks like that didn't happen.
But the central question here is that no agenda will see another five years.
Can I get zombie crowd no drone jingle karma?
What?
I think the zombie crowd refers to those people in the House of Parliament.
Oh, okay.
So what does he want?
Parliament?
Parliament drone karma.
Which drone?
One of your drone things.
Okay.
You know, guys, it's going to be a little bit of...
The drone again.
Naturally.
You've got karma.
It's not easy.
He makes a note that I edit some of these comments because they're for length.
Yeah.
And it's just what we do.
I'm not going to stop doing it.
Robert Ryan dot podcast license dot com is live.
Oh, like a raccatini Sir Oleg to you in Richmond Hill, Ontario.
Best podcast in the universe.
Karma for everybody.
Little girl.
Yay.
Karma for everybody.
Little girl.
Yay.
Okay.
You've got karma.
Yay!
That's cute.
Nicholas Stowe in Austin.
Another Austin.
Austinian.
Austinian is correct, yes.
It's not Austinian?
No, it's not Austinite.
It's Austinian.
Austinite.
That's the one.
No, it's Austinian.
Happy anniversary, Mr.
Nick.
William Young, Lebanon, Tennessee.
Robert Gold in Toronto, Ontario.
My second anniversary donation.
I'm so close to nighthood I can taste it.
Well, you got it.
So he's actually Sir Robert Gold as we speak.
That's right.
I might already be there, but I'm failing at the self-accounting system.
As a regular donor, or donator, since the early days are no agenda, I might be there already.
And then he goes on.
A karma shout-out to his own pending knighthood.
Okay, well, he's...
You've got karma.
Sir Brian Watson in Sugar Grove, Illinois.
Congrats on five years.
Just five more years.
Give me a trains good, planes bad karma.
All aboard trains good, planes bad.
You've got karma.
Hopefully he gets to listen to the show on the train.
Robert Gold, again.
First of two anniversary donations.
Actually, it's the second, because it came in there.
As one isn't enough.
Plus, it gets me two requests for shout-outs.
First, how about a hey, shittison, two to the head to all of Canada, most of whom are not paying attention.
No, they pay some attention.
Werner Bogula in Hamburg, Deutschland.
Congratulations.
Karma worked.
Sir Jan and me could transform our latest journalist training in Vietnam to an N.A. meme fest.
Among our standard exercises, we're creating headlines with the keywords climate change, science, and denier, copying Obama in Photoshop, drawing graphical charts from the numbers 9, 11, 33, 55, 69, and 69.
Hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
Werner is training to be a journalist in Vietnam, and this is what he's doing.
Yeah.
Cool.
But the best thing was the farewell party where everybody would sing a song from their home country.
Sir Jan and myself were belting out the No Agenda National Anthem.
Excellent.
Unfortunately, they are closing down our journalist school.
We need some serious job karma for next year so we can get to propagate the formula.
So please play jobs, jobs, jobs, yeah, plus karma.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Michael McPhee in Langley, British Columbia.
Uh...
Home of the Sophisticated Marijuana Grow Ups and the famous Langley Ukulele Ensemble.
No shit, it's unbelievable what these people can do with a small guitar.
Check them out on YouTube.
When you pronounce ukulele, it's uke, not uke.
If you say it wrong, they get all upset and then they play another song.
Anyway, General Karma to the show.
Ukulele.
It's ukulele.
Ukulele.
I don't know.
Ukulele.
Langley Ukulele Ensemble.
Aaron Guzman.
We'll play some songs while we're reading these things.
Aaron Guzman in Redmond.
Redding.
Redding, California.
A.K.A. Mr.
Max Powers from the state of Jefferson.
Oh, he's in Jefferson.
That's right.
Redding's in Jefferson.
Thanks and love the show.
There's a derger where they're going to be droning.
Can I get two to the head and can Adam say I will not comply on the megaphone?
Congratulations on the first five.
Okay, so two to the head, and is there karma as a part of that, or is it just...
That doesn't say.
Okay.
I will not comply!
Congratulations on the first five.
Hopefully the fascists will go another five.
Don't worry, I'm just getting some ukulele music.
Sir Alan Bozen, again.
No, there's another guy.
We have two guys in Langley, British Columbia.
Hey, Sir Alan, go meet Michael.
Yeah, really, you guys should hook up and hang out.
Yeah, have a drink, have a beer.
Bring out the challenge coin, see who brings it.
Thanks for the five years of excellent information.
The real news is what we all need.
I just made two road trips, one to San Francisco and one to Portland.
It's too loud.
And spread out the no-agenda business cards whenever I stopped.
People should do that, by the way.
Daniel Turelio in Charleston, South Carolina.
Beautiful place.
Happy Wood Anniversary.
Did you know that?
Yeah, the fifth is Wood.
By the way, because you were hearing it loud, it's a different mix, so it wasn't being loud.
No, I couldn't hear myself talking.
Sorry, I stopped.
Wood is five.
Adam won't last another five when he overdoses on Hal Perala.
Hal Perala.
To anyone considering donating, don't do it because it turns into a vice.
My wife, Erin, soon-to-be MILF, wants karma and throw on a little girl yay.
This is interesting.
This is the kind of coincidence that you have with a random number theory.
Karma with little girl yay on the end.
Okay.
You've got karma.
Yay!
Charles Peden in Greenville, North Carolina.
Pronounce Peden.
Congrats on five years.
Here's to many more.
I'm doing my part to keep you from resorting to selling tangy tangerine to make beans and meat.
Do you even know what that is?
No, tell me.
Oh, that's the new Alex Jones thing.
It's like, if you buy and drink tangy tangerine, you'll live forever.
Oh, please.
It has all the essential nutrients you need to fight the new world order.
You can't make your voice gravelly enough.
Please call David Fox out as a douchebag.
Oh boy.
Douchebag.
You're not donating.
Justin Gearing in Manhattan, Kansas.
Karma for you too, the greatest podcasters.
You are what makes this show.
I hope you get another five years before they throw you in the clink.
Well, at least curry.
Let's face it, Joe will probably turn state's evidence against Adam for a case of wine.
Sounds about right.
Yeah, probably true.
A little karma for us.
You'll flip.
You've got karma.
Yeah, we can flip that old guy.
Scott Olson, San Diego.
Jumping on the 5th anniversary donation handbasket to hell along with the best podcast in the universe.
I'll take a Huntsman karma shot.
You've got karma.
Joaquin Bueno in Paterna, Camudad, someplace.
Where is he from?
Valenciana.
He's from Spain.
Oh, Spain.
Spain and choose nuts.
Sir Jesse Wilson in Hobart, Indiana.
No note attached to the donation should be defaulted to a karma request.
He wants a karma.
Or she, he wants a karma.
You've got karma.
Charles Eves in Hawthorne Woods, Illinois.
A modest donation for the best podcast in the universe.
You two are the most entertaining thing I watch and listen to each week.
Right there with Florida Gator football.
Wow.
We're up there.
Five more years of saying it's almost time for no agenda.
Michael Greer in Schicksony, PA. Schicksony is Mike, you know, with the Wooden Longhouse.
Mike and Sarah Greer.
You've been living there.
You live there.
Happy 15th to my lovely wife.
And give him a karma for her.
Yes.
And there's a DSC coming, guys.
I can feel it.
I can feel it.
They love it.
You've got karma.
They, Sir Astrum...
They actually play old daily source codes all day long in their house.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I feel sorry for them.
Sir Astrum and Vendelin...
Here's another five years.
Give yourself a Best Podcast in the Universe jingle.
I'm hope.
I'm kindly requesting a Hey Shittison Karma boost.
No, great.
The Best Podcast in the Universe.
Hey Shittison.
You've got karma.
Kirk Ann in Genesio, New York.
55, 55.
Terrence Phillips in Corvallis, Montana.
Value for value.
Even if you are truly crackpots, I do enjoy the podcast.
Hope that you keep this up for four years of the Romney era.
No, he's not my first choice either, but the alternative sucks.
Gary Johnson is the alternative.
Phil Payne, Gig Harbor, Washington.
Very nice little place, by the way.
Did you just give a political...
Plug for Gary Johnson?
Did I? Yeah.
Roseanne Barr is also an alternative.
I'm voting for Roseanne.
I think you should vote for her.
I'm voting for Roseanne Barr.
Thomas Gardner in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Just trying to keep my douchebag level to a minimum.
Hope your show lasts for many more years.
The KJB Properties, Houston, Texas.
Kyle Blank here.
Just throwing some good luck karma to the best podcast in the universe for another five years of media assassination.
P.S. John, you should really consider the concept of no agenda wine.
After seeing how much money is being pulled in from something horribly named Mangria.
Yeah, this is a big topic there on the Twitch show you had about Adam Carolla apparently selling lots of Mangria wine.
Yeah, I talked over to the vendor about this.
We're not really going to do that, are we?
No.
No, okay.
We don't have...
It's bullcrap.
It's bullcrap.
Who needs to be...
We don't sell stuff on the show.
Hey, buy some wine from us?
The show is supported by the listeners.
When the listeners give up on us...
Then we end the show.
We're not going to do it because we have a wine business.
Thank you.
Although I might sell it on the blog.
No!
You can do Dvorak wine.
Do that.
Oh, I'm not doing Mangria.
That stuff was horrible.
It was like, ah!
Lori Swim, Marysville, Kansas.
Happy birthday to you guys from Eric and Lori, John Stone, Louisville, Kentucky, Kevin Miley, or Mile, M-E-Y-L-E, Kalamazoo, Ryan Vitenheimer in Tucson, Arizona, Travis Dillman, Red Deer, Alberta, Andrew Haverson, Sir Andrew to you, in Gravenhurst, Ontario, when I find myself re-listening to episodes, it's time to uphold the value for value.
Why would you re-listen?
Still waiting on my night ring, by the way.
Yeah, we'll get him one.
If I could request an inquiry into that matter, that'd be great.
Okay, you just did.
Andrew Lemesany, in Colorado Springs.
Did you meet with him?
Yes, I think I do.
A little birthday love to Noah Jen and the brother that hit me in the mouth.
Richard.
This is to start him off on his knighthood.
I'd call him up, but he's living the American dream and raising my awesome nieces and nephew.
Karma for us.
You betcha.
You've got...
Hey, Andrew.
Karma.
Uh, Narada Staple.
Oh, this is not good.
I just clicked a button.
Happy anniversary from Gitmo Jaws, Perth.
Now having the highest number of death from sharks this year.
It's true.
Can I have a shut-up slave, two-to-the-head karma combo?
And it's my wife Laura's birthday on the 25th.
We said happy birthday to her.
And I'm sure she'll enjoy some swazzle enough.
I bet you will give her some swazzle enough.
So you need the shut-up slave, two-to-the-head karma.
Shut up, slave!
Got it.
You've got karma.
Vincent Farrell, San Bruno, California.
Happy fifth of the best podcast in the universe.
Thank you for all you guys do.
Vince!
Paul Schneider, Edmonton, Alberta.
Credit me as Paul Schneider.
Done.
Thanks.
We just did Andrew Warz...
I picked the one.
All right.
And John Cidemore comes in to save the day.
Andrew Wazirowski in Indianapolis, Indiana Nuts.
55-55.
You guys rock.
Keep up the good work.
We appreciate how you expose the manipulation happening all around us, which is what we do best.
Can we just have John give us a good, it's a scam!
Nice one.
Troy Walters in Hawthorne, East Victoria, Canada.
Central question is, congrats on the five years.
Don't stop till you get enough.
Reminder to all citizens to view Gitmo Nation down under a no-agenda story on YouTube.
Link in the show notes, please.
Jessica Walters in Melbourne...
Victoria, congratulations.
In many more years to come, can I please get some freestyle slide whistle from John and some karma from my husband, Sir Troy?
Yeah, absolutely.
So you see, that's the family that loves together, donates together.
Yeah, they do.
We've got karma.
Tan HL in Singapore.
Thanks for dedouching the dedouching of some job search.
Oh, you need some dedouching and a job search karma.
You've been dedouched.
Garrett Jones in Barden, Queensland.
You've got karma.
Oops, sorry.
Barry Jones in Barden.
You're stepping on the karma.
Do not step.
Don't step on the karma.
I got it all over my foot now.
Oh.
Michael Cross, Canada, Ontario.
It's getting closer tonight.
Probably a proud monthly supporter since January.
Currently on the 11-11 plan.
I would remind you to check, because these things get dropped by PayPal left and right, and people think they're on the 11-11 plan, that they're not on anything.
I'd like to call out Scott McCormick as a boner.
How about a...
Douchebag!
Not only has he not donated to the show since I introduced him to it several months ago, but he now routinely harasses Adam on Twitter.
Oh, yeah.
I've not noticed it because I don't pay attention to Twitter.
Oh, I know who Scott McCormick is.
I think I blocked him.
Yeah, you block it.
That's what I do.
I block on Twitter at the drop of a hat.
When someone says something, they're like 24 followers.
I'm like, no, I'm not going to give you followers.
I'm going to block you forever!
Rich Ballard in Allberg, Vermont.
After hearing a couple of other Vermonters contributing, I thought I should get off to Viagra and start being a donor from Gitmo Green Mountain.
I put in 5555 to celebrate the 5th anniversary and became a 1212 monthly.
I had an idea that might be another way to get the word out about the show.
There's a lot of local debates going on right now, and some of them you can get into the chat room at the station hosting the debate.
During the last debate for our lone house member, they started talking about drones, etc., so I put in the killlist.curry.com link.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
And made a few comments about it.
On the pharmaceutical side, a four-year-old, my wife works with it.
A school was just put on ADHD drug called Focalin, which is demethylphenidate.
Sounds good.
Actually, dexmethylphenidate.
She said it made the child's tongue go in and out all day like a snake.
Very sad.
I love that drug.
And your head go to one side.
Greg, did he want some karma or anything?
Yeah, karma.
Oh, no, don't need any jingles of karma.
But the kids might need it.
Well, just in case.
Just in case.
For the kids.
Do it for the children.
Do it for the children.
Sir Greg Filer in Lauderdale, Minnesota.
I feel it's the only right that I give you anniversary donations for five years of media assassination.
Listening to previous episodes, it's important to get a donation in before I get droned again by the Curry DeVore Consulting Agency.
Could I also be reminded where to send my ring information?
Rings at noagendanation.com.
I could also use two to the head, shut up, slave, karma for those getting a beloved flu shot here in Minnesota.
Nuts.
You've got karma.
Shut up, slay!
Royce Kokami in Aiea, Hawaii.
In the morning, John and Ed.
One guy goes up to him and says, Hey, Bill, how do you pronounce it?
Hawaii or Hawaii?
And the guy says, It's pronounced Hawaii.
And he says, Thanks.
He says, You're welcome.
Oh!
In the morning, John and Adam, I appreciate a karma shot and birthday shout-out to Chris turning 20 this Friday on the Noisy on the 5th.
Looking forward to another five years.
Jack Kenyon in Burping Gary.
Hold on, karma shot.
He gets a karma shot.
Hold on.
Oh, I didn't see that.
Sorry.
Well, you read it.
Karma.
I read it, but I don't read.
I just read.
I'm a robot.
Robot!
Now this guy, Jake, is in Burpingary, Queensland.
Jeff Kenyon using Jake's PayPal.
Oh, it's Jeff Kenyon.
Yeah.
As a result of being called out on show 453 for not donating before my son, can I request a dedouching and a Best Wishes Karma shot for John and Adam on the 5th?
Oh, that's nice.
You've been dedouched.
You've got karma.
Kevin Benson in Bundina, New South Wales.
New listener, loved the show.
Getting into past episodes now, which one is the start of calling Hillary Lucifer.
That's a ways off.
We've been doing that for over a year, two years maybe?
Forever.
Yeah, I think really almost three years.
Ever since Beelzebub introduced me to her.
Best part of your show is a little girl doing Shut Up Slave.
I can just imagine her running around in a pink tutu with a de-douching wand under her hand.
Oh, I like that.
Shut Up Slave!
Nice.
That is a nice image.

Congratulations on Adam passing the technician test.
Oh.
Even though he hasn't got his call letters yet.
No, he's still waiting for...
You know, this is what really made me angry, is when I pass two flight tests, one for helicopter, one for fixed wing.
You pass those, you can fly right away.
You pass your test for ham radio, you gotta wait 10 days until they assign you a call, the call letters.
You don't have to wait 10 days.
If you get the call letter earlier, you can do it.
If you get the call letters, but I don't have the call letters.
Yeah, you have to have the call letters.
Well, that's what I'm waiting 10 days for.
Okay, well, you'll have it shortly.
What, are you in a rush?
Yeah!
Nobody else on ham is.
Hey, Bill, you gonna come over today?
No, I'll be over tomorrow.

Yeah, it is.
How's the weather down there in California?
It was raining this morning, but it's not raining now.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
We got some nice weather here in Texas.
Anyway, the wife is waiting for me.
She don't like it when I'm on the radio too much, so...
Yeah, but I know what you mean.
I'm in the car right now.
I think I'll go in.
Yeah, all right.
Well, good talking to you.
I'm sure I'll catch you tomorrow.

Anyway, that is our...
Are we done?
We got everybody?
Yeah, we did.
Hey now!
Wow.
Let me just do this again.
The best podcast in the universe!
And we'll have more show on Sunday where we can pick up some of the stuff where we left off.
I mean, that was a long segment.
Yeah.
But we put it at the end for people who, you know, just, you know, want to clip it.
I think this is the first time we...
I don't think any show has ever been this long, quite honestly.
No.
This show has gone past three hours.
And we only budgeted this last segment for about, I think we budgeted for an hour and we've gone an hour 20.
Oh my god.
Oh well.
It's okay.
We all show should be this long.
Except that this should be filled with content that everyone enjoys.
Although I think what we did is, and we didn't pre-announce it, but we pretty much did two hours and 15 minutes of show Normally we interrupt with a couple of segments in the middle.
Yeah, so it's okay.
But I'm very much looking forward to Sunday's show because I have a lot of stuff.
I'll tease it if you don't mind.
You know this meningitis thing?
Yeah.
I figured out what that's about.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah.
And then there's another thing I want to talk to you about, which is the Chicago plan.
Are you familiar with the Chicago plan?
Yeah, I am, slightly.
Okay, because that's coming back.
Okay, well, we'll do this on Sunday, and I got a couple clips I didn't bring out today I'll bring out.
Yeah.
And we'll have a good time, and hopefully people will keep supporting us.
I sure hope so.
I sure hope so.
All right.
Bring it up.
Bring it up.
You mean bring it up like that?
Yeah, there you go.
All right, so a programming note.
We have the Freedom Fiends coming up live in seven minutes from now, although I suggest they don't wait seven minutes.
They pick up whatever human resources are strewn out on the floor here.
On the No Agenda stream and switch on the minute we get off.
Actually, those guys are pretty good, the Freedom Fiends.
I like them.
That's good.
Well, I'm going to have to go run, take a shower, because I have a major meeting at 2, which would gall you to no extreme.
Oh, the meeting?
Well, what it is, is the Ford is going to drop off a week.
Oh, no!
A Fusion, no, not the Fusion, but the Focus Electric...
And then you're going to write about it?
No, I'm writing about all the electric cars.
If you haven't noticed, I've driven them all, except the one I haven't got a hold of yet is the, I think, which one is it?
There's one car I haven't gotten a hold of.
And I'm going to go drive around the Fisker.
The Fisker, I was just going to say.
Well, you know what?
If you drive the Fisker, I hope it bursts into flames.
You're just jealous.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I'm jealous.
That would be it.
All right, coming to you from the capital of the Drone Star State, everybody.
In the morning, my name's Adam Curry.

We'll be back on Sunday with a full-blown episode filled with New World Order news deconstruction right here.
