	She's pregnant and doesn't know how to tell the parents.
	This is No Agenda.
	Casting worldwide on 148.765 megahertz.
	And including notes 780399 are here in the capital of Drone Star State, Austin Tate House.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley.
	And let me be the first to congratulate Barack Obama.
	I'm John T. Forak.
	It's Craig Vaughn.
	Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	You know, you beat me to it.
	You beat me to it.
	And let me also be the first to say...
	Biden 2016.
	This is your new thing now?
	Biden 2016?
	Yeah.
	Not going to happen.
	No way.
	No, it has to because you always make the vice president the guy that's going to take over when you leave.
	Oh, I see.
	Oh, I see.
	Of course.
	You mean for the Democratic nominee?
	Yeah.
	Oh, of course.
	Yeah.
	Well, well, well, well.
	So, John, congratulations on democracy once again taking place.
	Thank you.
	And now we have, I think it's exactly the same as it was two days ago.
	Did anything really change?
	Yes, something changed big.
	The stock market kind of collapsed and it's going to get worse.
	I saw that and I was like, oh my goodness, this is exactly what John predicted.
	It's like, there you go.
	The stock market says, oh no, not that guy.
	No, no, no, we didn't expect that.
	Well, I have, of course, some thoughts on the election, and I'm sure you do as well.
	I'm not quite sure where to start other than I was very pleased to see that no agenda...
	I don't think it's actually officially in the Red Book.
	But seeing Diane Sawyer drunk and having everyone recognize it felt kind of good, I have to say.
	You know what I mean?
	I was like, okay, how long have we been talking about this?
	I don't know.
	Ever since she got us the anchor job, pretty much.
	About a year.
	You were the first one to say it on the show, and then every single time I couldn't help but just go back to it.
	If you missed any of the, particularly those of you not living in the United States of Gitmo Nation, here we have a couple of quick...
	Quick Diane Sawyer completely hammered clips.
	We are ready to project New Hampshire.
	Put it up on the screen because we are ready to project the first big battleground state here of New Hampshire with four electoral votes.
	It's, as we know, a small number of votes, but President Obama has won it, George.
	Only four electoral votes.
	That's a difficult spot to be in at this point in the evening.
	Okay, I want to have a...
	Can we have our music?
	Because this is another big one here.
	Minnesota.
	We're ready to project Minnesota right now.
	And again, another state.
	The Romney campaign had raised a question.
	Whether it was in play?
	Well, tonight we know that President Barack Obama has...
	That was my favorite.
	President Barack Obama has...
	You've got to play that little part again.
	President Barack Obama...
	There was another one, too.
	Hold on, let's get this piece.
	Obama has one...
	Sorry, let me move back.
	Here we go.
	Whether it was in play, well, tonight we know that President Barack Obama...
	President Barack Obama...
	Barack Obama...
	Now, what's interesting is there is a video...
	And it's funny that we never caught on to this before.
	A much younger Diane Sawyer, I would have to say, it looks like it's...
	She almost has a lady dye haircut, so it's got to be 80s.
	And she looks very young and very attractive.
	And this is one of those satellite feed recordings, John.
	Remember back in the day you could do that?
	Right, you used to be able to pull them off a C-band dish.
	Right, so you could get on your C-bands.
	If you go to sawyerdrunk.curry.com, and go with it, not with your other browser so you don't go all helium on me.
	Actually, just play it and I'll...
	No, no, no, because it makes no sense.
	I don't have the other browser booted.
	Well, boot it and then look at it in a bit.
	Sawyerdrunk.curry.com.
	Okay.
	So this is a...
	There's no...
	I mean, there is audio, but it's not worthwhile for the show.
	That's why I just wanted you to kind of look at it as background so I could hear you laughing.
	Where she's literally, it's before a broadcast, and she's like playing with her hair, and then she's sipping red wine, and then she grabs her bag and literally opens a bottle of prescription pills, pops one, and swallows, and chugs it down with the red wine.
	Wow.
	And then she's talking about...
	Oh, this girl's got, she's got chops.
	She's an expert.
	And then she's talking about some other woman saying, oh, she's an idiot.
	And then she does like the, she likes drinks, and then...
	She does, like, snorting cocaine motions.
	I mean, it's the most intense Diane Sawyer video ever.
	And I have to say, now that I see this...
	What's the URL again?
	SawyerDrunk.curry.com.
	SawyerDrunk.curry.com.
	Now that I see this, I have respect for her.
	Now I'm not going to make fun of her anymore.
	She's a party animal.
	She's awesome.
	Oh, there's this guy.
	He used to be a local here, this Geraldo-looking guy.
	Yeah, she's a party girl.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, no, she does.
	You see her hammering down the wine and the pills?
	Anyway, here's a little bit more of her drunk coverage.
	The congressional seats are so safe.
	I want to go back out and see if we can put up side-by-side David Muir and Jake Tapper because I do think...
	Here she's a little bit of Jake Tapper.
	Now she's starting to slur Jake Tapper.
	It's always interesting to imagine being in each of those rooms right now and feeling the mood of the room.
	See if we can see it.
	See if we can hear it.
	And Jake Tapper, if you're there and can hear me right now, Can you hear me right now?
	John, can you hear me right now?
	Can you?
	Wait, I have an important question about the slogan.
	I have a question I wanted to ask, by the way.
	At one point, President Obama's campaign put an exclamation point after forward.
	It was just forward and then it had an exclamation point.
	When did they decide that was the right message for them?
	Now, when she said this, my SMS exploded.
	People were like, oh my god.
	Someone has to get her off the set immediately.
	When did they think this was a good idea?
	It was...
	So that made it great.
	She gets older.
	She's in her 60s, I think.
	Yes.
	Yeah, I think so.
	She is obviously, you get into this habit.
	I mean, I don't know how anyone can broadcast drunk.
	I've done it.
	I used to do it stoned all the time.
	Yeah, but when you were stoned, you weren't really any different than you normally are.
	Oh, okay, dude.
	Well, except for that.
	Or the staring at your hands.
	Man.
	That's really pretty.
	Cool.
	Hey, man.
	But that started...
	I've got six fingers.
	You know, I really started smoking weed heavily when I had a motorcycle accident.
	And the only painkiller that really worked for me was smoking marijuana.
	But I was doing a morning radio show at the time.
	And so I had to travel by car for like an hour and 15 minutes every morning, every weekday morning from Belgium up to the Netherlands.
	And I'd have a guy drive me, but I literally could not sit in the chair.
	And so I'd smoke some weed and be like, ugh.
	And then by the time I got to the studio, I'm like, and I think I'll just keep smoking the weed.
	It makes the show much better.
	At least it sounded better to me.
	I'm sure it did.
	So on the topic, since we're done, we'll try to make this thing flow a little bit.
	So Washington State and Colorado both passed the legalizing marijuana law where California couldn't even pass the labeling law.
	For the GMOs because they have this genetically modified organism.
	Right.
	Because we have so much money pours into California to keep anything from happening because we're supposedly the trendsetter state.
	So they're freaked out about anything like marijuana getting legalized or labeling changing.
	So the idiots from California, of course, don't know what they're doing when they vote.
	And they're always in the pockets of all the Democrats.
	They'll vote whoever throws the most money at it.
	But wait, let me ask you a question because I don't understand.
	Any normal person in the universe, this is what I don't get, It sees the Proposition 18, I think it was, and the question is, do you want companies to label what you are putting?
	No, it's Proposition 37.
	Oh yeah, 18 is something else.
	I'm sorry, it was here in Austin.
	37.
	Do you want companies to label what you put in your pie hole?
	And people actually went, no.
	No, I'm not interested.
	We don't want to know.
	Now, you saw the ballot.
	What did it say?
	Is there a little explanation?
	It explained it perfectly.
	What did it say?
	Do you remember what it said on the ballot?
	I don't have it on me.
	I should have a ballot with me, but I don't.
	It said, you know, it specifically said exactly what it was, which is these things, you know, things need to be labeled.
	It wasn't a trick question.
	It wasn't, like, put on there peculiarly.
	It was, if you didn't know anything about it and you read it, you'd know what you were voting on.
	Right.
	That's what I figured.
	It's like, yeah, I'd like to know what they put you on.
	Well, the 32 was the other one.
	And 32, which had no, they had more money spent.
	I got, I voted yes on 32 without even knowing what it was because my mailbox, Box 339 El Cerrito, where people also send checks, my mailbox was filled with To the brim with no on 32.
	And I started watching ads.
	And no on 32 is essentially to make it so unions can't take money off your payroll check.
	Off your check, out of your pocket, essentially.
	And use it for political purposes.
	And did that pass?
	No, it got rejected.
	Because the way the argument went was the following.
	Wait a minute.
	Yeah, I got rejected.
	John, don't wait.
	Run away from the state.
	Get out, man.
	The state is horrible.
	There are zombies there.
	They're insane.
	And my favorite thing is the way that one works, and I realize the real gimmick you want to use if you want to get all these knee-jerk Democrats to just vote no or whatever you want them to do.
	The Koch brothers support it!
	The Koch brothers support it!
	By the way, the Koch brothers support the News Hour on PBS. The Koch brothers support Nova.
	Don't watch those.
	So I paid very close attention to Washington.
	I was actually doing some reports for my buddy's radio show in Holland and kind of propagating the formula just a little bit, trying to hit the Dutch slaves in the mouth.
	And I was like, yeah, that's pretty interesting how it looks like we are now in America.
	We have states that are more liberal than Amsterdam with your stupid weed pass.
	So I'm focusing in on some local Washington news.
	And it seems that this passing of marijuana, legalization of marijuana, may be somewhat of a scam.
	And I'd like to play a local news reporter, which I found interesting.
	Initiative 502 spokesperson Allison Holcomb told me today it's ridiculous to think Washington's new marijuana law was designed specifically just to strengthen the state's DUI laws and not decriminalize pot.
	But key opponents of 502 call the law a wolf in sheep's clothing.
	And what we're going to have is a per se DUID bill, which is the drug czar's plan for the new prohibition.
	How do we just stop right there?
	I like it.
	So the way it works is, it all comes down to science as to how much THC is too much and when are you actually stoned and wasted.
	When it comes to measuring the amount of THC, or the chemical in marijuana that gets you high, for a DUI conviction.
	Opponents argue a driver who smoked a joint last week could still be busted, and that would deter legal use.
	Hey, officer, it was last week, man.
	I didn't smoke one now, it was last week.
	I think there's a valid point to this, though.
	This could be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
	Well, I honestly don't believe that's true, but I will say this.
	Washington State, which has no personal income tax, much like Texas.
	What are you doing in California?
	You have a house in Washington.
	I cover technology.
	There's nothing in Washington State.
	Yes, Microsoft.
	You can just be the Microsoft guy.
	Yeah, well, that's one crummy company that won't let you in through the front door.
	Let me finish the job.
	Sorry.
	Amazon.
	Well, that's not a tech company.
	It's a retailer.
	Oh.
	Anyway, so they rely a lot in Washington State.
	And I keep telling people this.
	If you're going to visit Washington State, pay very, very careful attention to the speed signs, the speed limit signs.
	And make sure you have a cruise control.
	Exactly, right.
	You will get a ticket.
	They make most of their money off of tickets.
	And here's the way, and I was talking to somebody about this the other day.
	Here's the way you drive in Washington State.
	You're in, say, a 60-mile-an-hour zone.
	You're going 62 maybe because most cars are over.
	They're not adjusted correctly, so you can always do 62.
	So you're 62 with a cruise control on.
	It says ahead, speed zone, 40, because it's going to pass through a little town or something.
	So you go at 62, 62, and then when you get to the 40-mile-an-hour sign, which is about a quarter mile away from the warning, you slam on the brakes.
	Yeah.
	And you skid to a 40 mile an hour speed, and then you drive at 40, and then when you get back to the 60, you gun it.
	That's the way everyone drives like that.
	That's interesting because when we were driving around the country, I would pretty much do that.
	You'd be driving on not an interstate, but one of those secondary routes, and all of a sudden it would be like, okay, speed zone change up ahead, and it would go from 60 to 45 to 35 to 25, and I would keep doing it.
	I could just see these cops sitting behind the sign, like in the cartoon.
	And I'm sure it's that way in Washington State.
	Here in Texas, though, I still have a taillight out, and I've had cops behind me, passing me at all hours of the day and night.
	I haven't had a single problem.
	Oh, you get a pullover for the taillight out in Washington, I guarantee it.
	No, here they're like, E, Bubba.
	You're in a truck.
	That's cool.
	That's all right.
	You're in a truck.
	You're crap.
	You're all right.
	You're on the road, taillight out.
	The one of the two headlights blinking.
	So here's a lawyer from Washington State who also has an opinion, and it's along the same lines that it's really, we're really not there yet with the legalization of marijuana.
	This law really did not legalize marijuana.
	I know people think it did.
	For one, employers still have the right to fire workers if they test positive for marijuana in a drug test.
	This, by the way, makes no sense.
	I mean, whoever said that legalizing any drug would allow you to be hammered on the job?
	I know, this is all specious.
	This is specious anti-drug argument to support the old way, which is...
	Corrupt system of illegal drugs sold by criminals on behalf of the government.
	And it hasn't changed anything with regards to the workplace.
	There's no reform there at all.
	You also cannot grow or share the drug.
	You can't be drunk on the job either, Diane.
	This isn't Diane.
	Exactly.
	Fire that, Biosch.
	All right.
	There's no reform there at all.
	You also cannot grow or share the drug.
	But that sucks.
	You can like, hey man, let me have a toque.
	No, that's illegal.
	You can't.
	You know, this is a report.
	This is a...
	Bogative report.
	Of course.
	The thing is, to get these laws passed, you have to do a step at a time.
	So sure, maybe you could try to go further with one.
	Like in Colorado, they did.
	And the biggest opponent to the Colorado law, which the public obviously won, and Colorado's a bunch of stoners, especially in the Boulder and Colorado.
	Anyway, is the governor.
	The governor of Colorado, he's like irked about this.
	I mean, what is this guy even doing in office?
	Okay, so, well, he's probably part of the drug cartel.
	That's why these guys are irked.
	I don't believe for a second that the federales are going to leave this alone.
	The Obama administration has no other choice but to bust people under federal law because if we truly legalized marijuana in America, the economy would come crashing down.
	I think this is just a great idea.
	You think your slave's got something?
	It's not going to happen.
	I think this lawyer even talks about that.
	If you were to hand me that one ounce of marijuana, you'd be committing a delivery.
	Then there is the feds who could take the fight all the way to the Supreme Court.
	They're not overly enamored federally about my business, and yet I'm still open.
	Supporters say this is more than just one state's right to light up.
	I love the stoners who listen to them hawking and coughing.
	They want to see a grassroots movement.
	And it's all these old dudes with gray hair, like, yeah, man, we got it.
	Finally!
	Hey man, I've been waiting for this moment.
	I'm so sad.
	I used to cough like that.
	I had the exact same cough.
	Just from cigarettes.
	But anyway, my prediction is this will not hold.
	People will start getting...
	They're going to bust people over the head for this.
	This is not going to happen.
	It's not.
	Certainly not in Colorado.
	Washington State, I don't know.
	Maybe it's like who gives a crap about them hippies up there.
	But Colorado, I don't know.
	That's kind of the second home for the government.
	We can't just have that going on in our backyard.
	So I'm skeptical.
	In fact, they went over all Democrat too, but...
	Yeah, well anyway, at least somebody did it.
	They didn't do it in California because obviously the Koch brothers are behind it.
	The Koch brothers.
	That's funny.
	It's such a mixed metaphor too.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's hilarious.
	Koch brothers.
	Anyway, so what did you think of the...
	Let me just tell you, Ms.
	Mickey and I, we stayed home and washed everything.
	It actually was a very bad day for me, on an aside, since we're talking about smoking.
	I went to see my dentist.
	And remember when I stopped smoking?
	Remember when I was complaining?
	Well, first I had the eye thing.
	But then, like, my teeth really hurt.
	Remember I told you about that?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So guess what happened?
	Your teeth fell out.
	Of course!
	So after I stopped smoking, my gums immediately started to recede.
	Because I guess because your gums are naturally kind of inflamed when you have smoke in your face the whole time.
	And so they receded.
	And that's what was hurting my teeth.
	And the dentist, he went in and he was like, oh, this is not good.
	I'm like, what?
	I mean, you know, yeah, I have stained teeth before, but I've never gotten the, oh, this is not good.
	And he went, okay, well, you know, we really have to do something here.
	I'm like, so, well, I have to clean out all the microbes that have now lodged in between your receipt.
	I mean, it's a nasty story.
	In between your receded gums, which is making it, you know, it's basically rotting your head away.
	It's going to go to your brain.
	Oh, God.
	Eat your brain.
	There goes the show.
	I know.
	So I'm like, no, there goes the show, man.
	What are you going to do?
	So he had to numb me with, I think, 27 different shots.
	My whole face.
	This is one of these like, I'm just going to go get my teeth clean.
	Well, he did it on the spot.
	He gave you one of those root cleanings or whatever they call them.
	I mean, complete...
	Scraping?
	Well, with like the big power washer thing he goes in.
	I know that thing.
	Oh.
	And so I was out.
	I was...
	But it amazes me.
	We have so many dentists listening to this show.
	When I stopped smoking, where was the warning?
	Like, immediately go to your dentist because your gums are going to recede and you need...
	Well, we have our dentite night.
	Yeah.
	Thanks a lot.
	Greg, who will have to report in on this issue.
	We have several nights, and I'm surprised that no one said, hey, man, you know, I was complaining on the show.
	I think it's that common.
	Most people stop smoking, they don't end up with gum disease the next day.
	Well, I've been smoking for 30 years, it seems like.
	If my eyes went, somebody could have put two and two together.
	Your eyes are back.
	Well, kind of, yeah.
	Anyways.
	So Miss Mickey was like...
	Well, this is just a warning to all you kids out there.
	That's right.
	So Miss Mickey was like, oh, this is so boring.
	And then, you know, then luckily we found Diane Sawyer and that made the night.
	I was like, you know, the Dvorak Consulting Group could do a much better job on making this election night show more exciting.
	I mean, all the CNN was unwatchable with their idiotic maps and click and tap and zoom and like, oh, it's like it's like watching someone use an iPad all day.
	It's boring.
	So did you get to what was not boring was the horrible coverage on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow, of all people, being the anchor, you know, stand-up comic anchor.
	I couldn't watch her.
	With Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz.
	I mean, they were like the idiot club.
	So I have the clip of Chris Matthews.
	Chris Matthews.
	I want to play a clip from before election night from Chris Matthews.
	Okay.
	And then I can give you free reign.
	This is what he said in the afternoon, which just like, oh my, this is why I couldn't watch MSNBC. It's all night long.
	But if you don't vote, I don't want to talk to you.
	And if you vote for one of these numbskull third or fourth party candidates, like Gary Johnson or Jill Stein, and say, oh, I was so surprised at what happened.
	No, you shouldn't be, because idiots like you voted for third and fourth party candidates, and they don't know how this system works.
	You have two choices.
	Chris Matthews.
	Chefs.
	You have two choices.
	What an a-hole.
	Holy crap.
	What an a-hole.
	You don't know how the system works, slave.
	You can't vote for third or fourth party.
	The system works.
	You vote for who you want to win.
	No, that's not how the system works.
	It's not how it works.
	Shut up, slave.
	It's not how it works.
	What an a-hole.
	That clip's actually better than mine.
	Well, I'll be the judge of that.
	So here's Chris Matthews, bumbling moron, who knows how the system works apparently, going on and on about how great...
	He wraps up the Rachel Maddow show with his little commentary.
	In there, he makes two incredible gaffes, and then he says it was great that the storm happened.
	Rachel goes, oh, oh, don't do that.
	Oh, no, what I meant was...
	Now, tell me if you can find the two gaffes.
	That he makes in this...
	I mean, one of them would be totally obvious.
	The second one's, I think, a little harder to spot.
	Well, let me just close my thoughts tonight.
	It takes a half a second.
	I am so proud of the country to reelect this president and overcoming, not because of the partisanship or even the policies, just the fact, here's an African guy, African-American guy from unusual backgrounds.
	Yeah, I like that one.
	Part immigrant background, part African-American background.
	With all this assault on him from day one, from Mitch McConnell, from...
	Wait a minute.
	What is this part immigrant, part African...
	What is he?
	That's it.
	That was the other gap.
	Oh my God.
	What do you mean immigrant?
	He was born in the United States.
	How can he be an immigrant?
	Although I will say, I thought it was really fun.
	Should we play the rest of the clip before we...
	Yeah, because the rest of the clip has the part about the storm.
	By the way, and I think people getting worked up about the storm detracted from the African comment.
	The clowns out there that aren't elected and never will be to anything.
	And the way he took it, as somebody said, with coolness and charm and dignity and just took it and took it and kept moving forward and doing his job.
	And the American people, and I know we look at these percentages, 40% of the white, but fines.
	That's about right among Democrats in the last couple cycles, three cycles or four.
	Good work for them, good work for him, a good day for America.
	I'm so glad we had that storm last week, because I think the storm was one of those things.
	No, politically, I should say, not in terms of hurting people.
	The storm brought in possibilities for good politics.
	I want to thank Chris Matthews, Lawrence O'Donnell, Reverend Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, and Steve Schmidt.
	And by the way, you don't know how it works, stupid idiot!
	You can't vote for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein because that's not how it works.
	You have two choices.
	This is how it works, I'm telling you.
	I'm Chris Matthews.
	Yeah, the whole African thing is funny because the next day on CNN, here's what Soledad O'Brien did.
	Let's get right to David McKenzie.
	He's live in Kenya for us this morning, taking a look at how the president's ancestral family was reacting.
	Hey, David.
	So they're going live to Kenya.
	I'm like, this is like, put it in their face.
	That's funny.
	Well, it's actually funnier.
	People are stopping each other.
	Yeah, listen.
	China, the day before the election, decided not only to go to Africa, because they're giving it to Obama as much as they can, but they found his half-brother.
	The half-brother of the current U.S. president predicts that Barack Obama will win re-election.
	What?
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	I want to see this guy's birth certificate.
	Where's he from?
	In an exclusive interview in Kenya with CCTV Africa, Samson Obama sent a direct message to his brother.
	What's his name, Samson?
	Samson Obama.
	If you're in...
	First, I'll congratulate you.
	And my message, please come and see us.
	Come and see Kenya.
	Come and visit Kovelo.
	And see how much your presidency has changed the place.
	Wait a minute.
	This is his Chinese half-brother saying, come to Kenya.
	No, he's not Chinese.
	He's a black guy.
	Oh, I thought it was a Chinese...
	No, no, this is China.
	This is from CCN. Oh, okay.
	They were giving it to Obama by pointing this out.
	Right.
	Well, no, but on CNN, it's all great.
	It's like, what was it?
	Mama Obama is like great-grandmothers there, and it was funny.
	Yeah, you mean the great-grandmother who actually saw him born in Kenya?
	That one?
	That one, yeah.
	They don't let her talk on camera anymore, though.
	She's a little ixnay on the Amarkay Octay.
	No, no, no.
	So while you're talking about CNN, you don't have to finish that clip.
	It's just a guy rambling.
	So they had some idiot on.
	And I want you to play this.
	This is a classic.
	And by the way, they've also come up with a new meme.
	I'll tell you what the meme is.
	It's exactly similar.
	Each candidate desperately wants to win this county, which is just north of Richmond.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	Before you play that, you better take out a pen and a piece of paper and write down the numbers.
	Because he's going to throw a bunch of numbers out.
	Really?
	And you have to write them down to realize that this is unbelievable.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Should I rewind or are we okay from here?
	Ah, you can rewind if you want.
	And they trust me enough here, the elections officials, to give me the raw numbers for some of the precincts.
	There are 93 precincts.
	A handful have now reported.
	And I want to analyze it a little bit with the two top bosses here.
	This is Mark Coakley.
	He's the general registrar here.
	Ann Marie Middlesworth, the deputy.
	And what's interesting about these numbers, they're very similar to 2008 numbers when Barack Obama won here.
	For example, here in this precinct, Mitt Romney, 1,096 votes.
	Barack Obama, 824 votes.
	This is the West End precinct.
	How does that compare to 2008?
	I had 1,078 votes for Obama and 746 votes for...
	I mean, sorry, for Obama and 1,058 for McCain.
	Okay, so it was almost exactly similar percentage.
	I actually calculated it before.
	What?
	Okay.
	1096 and 824 are today's numbers.
	That's Obama 1096.
	And the numbers last time were 1078 for Obama and 1058 for...
	For McCain.
	And those are exactly similar according to this guy because he did the math.
	It's exactly the same.
	Sounds the same to me.
	Now, he uses the term exactly similar a second time, which I have on the second, because it's very short.
	Just want to emphasize, he said this over and over again, exactly similar.
	Four years ago, 68 to 48 Republican today.
	Almost exactly similar.
	The reason that possibly, I emphasize possibly, may bode well so far for Barack Obama.
	This is New World Order doublespeak, man.
	Good call.
	Good one.
	Exactly similar.
	You know what?
	I give it to you today.
	Clip of the day.
	I'll take it.
	Exactly similar.
	That's a show title, actually.
	Exactly similar.
	Wow.
	And people at home going like, that's right.
	It's exactly similar.
	Exactly similar.
	This is CNN at work.
	All right, so I have to say that...
	Can I get into my theory and thesis here on the elections?
	Yeah, go for it.
	I'm all ears.
	I already got a clip of the day.
	I'm now on my listing.
	You're good, right?
	You're done.
	You're done.
	I'm good.
	All right.
	So this election was actually a callback to Eisenhower.
	And we had our Patsy, and we had our Shill, and this was one big show, and it has nothing to do with how America actually voted.
	So first, I will take you back to the days of the UNIVAC. The UNIVAC was made by the Rand Corporation, and it was used in the—who was it?
	It was— Actually, Remington Rand was the— Remington Rand.
	It was in the Eisenhower against—who was it back in the day then, John?
	I think it became the Sperry UNIVAC during that era.
	Yeah, but who was it, Eisenhower?
	Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson.
	Was it Stevenson?
	I think it was.
	It was always Stevenson, both times.
	And so we had a very similar situation where the political analysts and pundits, now this was the beginning of television coverage of elections, they were all, you know, they had all the numbers completely different, and the UNIVAC Actually predicted Eisenhower by an enormous landslide.
	And as it turned out, it was like 500 electoral votes to 38 or something.
	It really was an outrageous landslide.
	And here's a quick report on it.
	This is the face of a UNIVAC. Laughable now, groundbreaking then.
	UNIVAC, can you tell us what your prediction is now on the basis of the returns that we've had so far?
	I don't know.
	I think that Univac is probably an honest machine, a good deal more honest than a lot of commentators who are working, and he doesn't think he's got enough to tell us anything about yet.
	But Univac did have something to say.
	With not even three and a half million votes counted, he predicted 100 to 1 odds of an Eisenhower victory in a landslide so huge it seemed impossible, given what had been thought to be a close race.
	The results were withheld for several hours.
	CBS and the machine's makers fearing humiliation.
	So that is just a little background on how it played out and how we had the numbers versus the pundits.
	So this year, we had this blogger.
	This blogger for the New York Times.
	And it was very interesting to see this meme of this guy.
	Nate Silver is his name.
	And he's like...
	He's a total pocket pen, pen pocket protector, just really total, full-on geek.
	And he came out with his models and his predictions and his numbers, and he said, nope, it's going to be a big win for Obama.
	75% Obama's going to win.
	And this was a real discussion.
	A blogger, yes, for the New York Times, but he doesn't even write in the paper.
	He has a blog, and he's like, this is not true.
	I know what's going to happen.
	And there was a big conversation.
	All the Republicans were talking about it.
	Here's a little bit of the report about this Nate guy.
	And we have New York Times blogger Nate Silver's prediction of an Obama win on Tuesday, no matter what the popular vote.
	Now listen carefully to what he says.
	Politics is a people full of people who are trained to manipulate the way that we view information.
	So when they see information they don't like, and we're publishing it based on a computer program that we designed four years ago.
	So he designed the computer program four years ago.
	So essentially, when the Obama administration got in and they decided, hey, we've got to come up with a great scam to ruin this thing again in four years, that's when he started this program.
	Every day.
	They're going to become very, very upset.
	They can't manipulate what my computer says.
	Oh no?
	Really?
	Really?
	That's impossible, huh?
	What is he talking about?
	He's talking about that he has some special magic sauce that he pulls in the same data everybody else has, but his models come out and show that the president's going to win against him.
	Because everyone was saying, close race, close race, close race, too close to call.
	And he was like, no, no, no, not at all.
	This is another UNIVAC moment, or a stat head.
	Headed for a fall.
	The election's Tuesday.
	How many more posts?
	Nate Silver has become the numbers geek.
	Pundits love to hate, particularly Republican pundits.
	Nate Silver says this is a 73.6% chance that...
	So you had all these Republican pundits on television talking about this guy, and who gives a crap?
	It's like, it's real easy.
	You and I can say the same.
	It's like, it's going to be guy A or guy B. Yeah, why did we get so much?
	This is obviously a publicity stunt that's well orchestrated.
	Ah, thank you.
	Now you're seeing the point.
	So here's what I believe happened.
	There was a flip of probably 8, 9, 10 million votes.
	I'm convinced that Romney thought he had it sewn up.
	It was in the bag.
	He didn't have a consistent speech.
	They had a transition website.
	whole thing they're good to go and just as we have always said his own party sold him out he had Republicans and Democrats flip the votes now there's a number of ways that this may have happened but I think election fraud if you really have the people on board is possible but you can't do it with just one party I think that the Republican party went hey screw it we're not going to do it.
	We're not letting this guy.
	We want Jeb Bush in 2016.
	And that's why we had this real...
	So we had this guy, the Patsy, and then we have Karl Rove, the actor, who's like, oh, he has to put on a little show on Fox.
	Here's just a little bit, some snippets of him being outraged about how the counting is going.
	This is acting.
	This guy knew about it.
	His job was to get Jeb Bush in the White House in 2016, not Mitt Romney.
	Just listen to him.
	Paul, he said, not really.
	You went through this in 2000.
	You almost went through it in 2004.
	Do you believe that Ohio has been settled?
	No, I don't.
	So you're not saying that Obama isn't going to win, but you're just saying he hasn't won it yet.
	I think this is premature.
	We got a quarter of the vote.
	I understand what Carl's saying, but...
	If you look at some of these counties that are still left out there, there are votes, a lot of votes left for Obama.
	I don't know what the outcome is going to be, but we've got to be careful about calling things when we have like 991 votes separating the two candidates and a quarter of the vote yet to count.
	Well, folks, so maybe not so fast.
	Thanks a lot.
	So this went back and forth between left and right, and then the left-wing media was saying, Karl Rove had a meltdown, a nervous breakdown.
	No, he didn't.
	He didn't have a nervous breakdown.
	He was just doing some bad acting.
	And how do we know it was acting?
	Because Megyn Kelly actually says that they rehearsed this whole thing during the day.
	They used to keep them right here.
	Here she is now walking from the set all the way to the back where they have the decision room.
	And then she'll literally say they rehearsed this.
	In the studio, and then for some reason, whoa, careful!
	Then for some reason, they moved them down the hall.
	We were too close.
	And now she says to the camera guy, you're too close because you can look up my nostrils.
	We were thinking this wouldn't be necessary, but as it turns out...
	It was in the script, Megan.
	Shut up.
	So you can see this is sort of all the folks behind the scenes who have been watching the program from back here.
	Hi, guys.
	Arthur Idalla decided to join.
	They're way down the hall.
	So we'll do a little interrogation and see.
	So this looks completely impromptu.
	If they stand by their call, notwithstanding the doubts that Karl Rove has attempted to place.
	Keep coming.
	Here we go.
	Now, when we practiced this before, we...
	Oh, there's the beautiful Jenna Lee.
	When we practiced this before in our rehearsals, we lost all audio in our ears.
	Yeah, so how spontaneous was this little walk she did?
	Holy crap, what is she thinking?
	Well, she's an idiot, obviously.
	She totally, totally messed this.
	I think she says it again.
	Right about here.
	Yeah.
	That's happening again.
	Where the producer is saying, shut up, shut up, don't talk about the rehearsal.
	She's probably lost the IFB. So it is my belief.
	So this was rehearsed.
	Now, by the way, just to back you up a little bit, there was, I don't know if you've watched the video, but there's been more and more evidence pouring in, but there's this terrific Fox video.
	Of a woman getting a ticket that was recorded by a school bus guy.
	Oh, yeah.
	I don't have the clip.
	I did see it.
	Yes.
	Rehearsed.
	Totally rehearsed.
	It's not only rehearsed, but they show it twice, and the second time there's a new car.
	There's a different car in the picture.
	Bring in the other one.
	They can't even get it right.
	They suck at this, and this is Fox.
	Bring the movie people in.
	But let us remember that we have always said that Democrats control Fox.
	And now that they have Richard Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch, or Ralph Murdoch, completely blackmailed because of all the phone tapping, this was set up, John.
	I absolutely believe this was set up, and the American people got duped.
	Votes were flipped around.
	I really, really...
	Think that Romney had the numbers sewn up, and if you listen to all this bull crap about numbers and how did it happen, but that his own party sold him out so we can have a Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush 2016.
	I call this entire election one big show and scam.
	Okay, so let me try to say what I think.
	And I'll agree with the, we've already discussed the idea that nobody wanted to, no Republican wanted this job.
	Exactly.
	Romney didn't, was going to lose.
	Yeah.
	People said, well, you guys predicted Obama was going to win.
	No, we predicted Obama was going to get out of the race, and this was about a year ago.
	And then when he didn't, it was obvious that he was going to win.
	And it turns out he actually did consider quitting.
	I mean, that's not public knowledge.
	Exactly.
	And I think that Obama actually did win.
	Without anybody fooling around to any extreme, although they seem to have this, and now I'm more convinced than ever with some latest reports about that Benghazi thing, that that was obviously, I mean, it's getting more and more confirmed that it was a kidnapping attempt by the government.
	Right again.
	But the whole thing about this, everyone said, oh, the polls are real close, they're real close, and then this Nate Silver and other people, they're not close.
	In fact, there's an Obama pollster that came out later who was gloating over the fact that he always had Obama ahead and it was all bullcrap.
	Nobody was talking about it.
	We cannot forget the fact that this was a big money election designed to soak contributors.
	You had to keep the election close when it wasn't ever going to be close because you had to soak both the Democrats and the Republicans who contribute to this with $30,000 a plate dinners and in contributions and $5 on the website and everything in between.
	So you could extract as much money from them as you could possibly extract.
	So it was down to the wire until it never was down to the wire.
	That was the scam.
	Okay.
	I'll buy that too.
	I like my conspiracy better, but I think yours is probably more based in reality.
	So it was all a scam then.
	So what you're saying is Nate Silver is awesome.
	By the way...
	He's not awesome.
	He was just...
	Him and a million other guys.
	What kind of a model did they have?
	I saw a presentation on the BBC that showed just based on what happened in 2008 and what could possibly happen.
	If everything went Romney's way, there was no way he could win.
	Okay.
	All right.
	But then...
	So then the Karl Rove acting is still acting.
	The whole Fox thing was acting.
	Yeah.
	Well, they said...
	She said they rehearsed it.
	That's horrible.
	Yeah.
	What is she thinking?
	Buzzkill Jr.
	says here, Nate Silver is a cool dude.
	I used to correspond with him back in college.
	His magic ingredient was internet comments, and his special sauce is a deep distrust of Gallup polls.
	Though in all likelihood, here's the Dvorak part of him, given how commercial he is, he probably sold out completely when he got hired by the New York Times.
	Good work, Buzzkill Jr.
	Straight from the horse's mouth.
	Yeah.
	There you go.
	We're connected.
	So let me do a little...
	I found Romney's concession speech to be somewhat threatening.
	You know, I have to be honest about it.
	I was riveted to Obama's campaign speech.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	His acceptance speech, which was a campaign speech.
	What is this guy going to do for the next four years?
	You know what?
	I sat there and I had tears.
	I'm like, this is great.
	He did it.
	I mean, he does that so well.
	He does it so well.
	I thought the speech was horrible.
	Obite in 2016, that's what I'm saying.
	Here's Romney threatening the president.
	I have just called President Obama to congratulate him on his victory.
	His supporters and his campaign also deserve congratulations.
	I wish all of them well, but particularly the President, the First Lady, and their daughters.
	Did he just say, I wish all of them well?
	Particularly you, your family, your daughters?
	I wish you well.
	I thought that was threatening.
	You're right.
	I wish them all well, particularly you.
	That's threatening to me.
	I can see where you'd interpret that.
	Don't walk outside.
	That's not a good idea.
	Especially you, your daughters, your family.
	And here's the NATO Secretary General Rasmussen congratulating the president with some interesting new information.
	I extend my warm congratulations to President Obama on his re-election as President of the United States.
	The transatlantic bond on which NATO was founded remains as important as ever for peace and security.
	And President Obama has shown great leadership in keeping it strong.
	I look forward to continuing our close cooperation with President Obama so that NATO remains effective in a fast-changing world against new threats with new capabilities.
	What new threats?
	What new threats are we getting?
	New threats.
	Wow, that's a good catch.
	And we have new capabilities, apparently.
	New threats and new capabilities out of the blue.
	Yeah, just so you know, it's coming.
	New threats, new capabilities.
	You heard it here first on the No Agenda show.
	New threats.
	New threats.
	I mean, I'm like, wow, okay.
	I mean, the guy's almost like, hey, we got new threats.
	New threats.
	I'm so happy about new threats.
	I think we should continue discussing the election for another segment or so, but I would like to get to the executive producers and take a break for a second.
	Yes, very good.
	Let's do that.
	We had a good comeback from the last couple of shows, which are terrible in terms of...
	Can I just say something?
	When you made your case on the last show about how people were not supporting us, do you know that Mickey actually said, should I be looking for a job too?
	I'm not kidding.
	I thought she is looking for a job.
	She has a job.
	She's selling her art.
	The money's not rolling in.
	When you're an artist, you always start slow.
	She's selling, which is fantastic.
	But she was so freaked out.
	I don't always say, hey, it really sucks.
	You're not a great husband if all you do after your work is like, it sucks.
	We're going broke.
	You know, that's not nice.
	So you really laid into people, and I'm glad that the message was heard.
	So I appreciate it.
	Well, I'm glad too.
	And we want to thank our executive producers and our associate executive producers.
	And we do have four executive producers, and I think a similar amount of associates, including our...
	Sir Robert Rock in Anchorage, Alaska, and we cannot find a note from him, even though he gave us $1,108.12, which is a screwball number, so I assume there's some message that should be attached to that, and we'll await his commentary.
	I was looking everywhere as well.
	He's got to have some awesome message, and I just can't find it.
	Well, because the number, if it was just a straight-up number, I would say, well, maybe he just wants to throw it out there.
	But it's not.
	It's a screwy number.
	Give him a karma.
	Yeah, big karma.
	Are you kidding me?
	Awesome.
	Thank you, Sir Robert.
	You've got karma.
	We have $459 from Big Jim from Hangar 8, 18 actually.
	He's sending my money to be a member of the Club 459, which is actually really cool.
	Of course, he's the only one who recognizes this.
	If you're into numbers, because 4 plus 5 plus 9 equals 18, 18.
	One plus eight of the 18 equals nine, which is a famous lucky number.
	Okay, so this is my first donation.
	Longtime boner.
	I'll give you my request list in a second.
	But I want to say thank you for doing what you guys do.
	I know it's been tough lately, but I blame government uncertainty.
	I hope you get a good amount of donations this week because we're all equally screwed regardless of whether it was going to be BO or MR. Okay, he wants a dedouching.
	Mm-hmm.
	MILF, for his beautiful wife, and he'll send pictures.
	Yay!
	He says he doesn't believe in karma.
	Give a shot out there for all the fans who have donated.
	Maybe give it.
	I don't know if he wants karma or not.
	Can you read it into his message?
	He says give a shout.
	Give a shot out there for all the fans that have donated.
	Maybe just...
	Okay, we're going to do a de-douching MILF karma.
	Here we go.
	You've been de-douched.
	MILF. You've got karma.
	It's a good combo too.
	459er, thank you so much.
	Big Jim, Hangar 18, 459er.
	Another night, Sir Scott Hankel in Sunland, California, 458.
	Like they said, good luck karma.
	Shout out to his wife on getting some good news on Monday.
	Keep up the good work and the best podcast in the universe.
	You've got karma.
	And I guess he came in late with a 458 for the previous episode, so we'll actually put him in the 459er Club.
	We'll actually drop in an extra silver dollar there.
	Oh, it sounds like silver.

	Stuart Morrison, Doctor, 26, Melbourne, Australia.
	Hi, guys.
	guys who are making this contribution to becoming speakily angered this week at the Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Obama bot crap that is seemingly also mind-controlled fellow Australians.
	Their blind propaganda regurgitation with no understanding of the underlying issues, drones, or existence of possibly several Obamas led me to a level of Facebook and workplace ranting to the point where I'm close to being labeled a crackpot.
	Thanks for your brilliant analysis, and I look forward to sharing a fine bottle of 3X retail wine with you both when you travel to Australia.
	Well, I think Miss Mickey and I will be there, well, within a year, hopefully.
	Hopefully we plan on coming by.
	And he brings up a very good point.
	Will we see two inaugurations again, John?
	Will we see that?
	Right, we forgot about you.
	Remind our newer listeners what you've discovered.
	Well, I would have to say this was your discovery.
	When President Obama was inaugurated in 2008, he flubbed on his initial playback there.
	And then they had another inauguration downstairs without press.
	And you are the one, John C. Dvorak.
	You.
	You are the one that said, obviously, there's two Obamas.
	And I think if you look at the pictures, proof is there.
	So, uh...
	Now, here we got one.
	Tim Dorwin...
	Dorwin...
	Dorwinian.
	I don't know.
	This is a tough one.
	D-W-O-R-I-A-N-Y-N. Dvorian...
	I don't think W's usually never pronounce a V. Dorianan?
	Dorianan?
	How about Dorianan?
	Dorianan.
	Tim Dorianan.
	It could be Dorianan.
	I like Dorianan.
	Sounds good.
	Okay, well, around Lake Illinois, 260, a long-time boner, first-time donor here, I like to call myself out as a douchebag.
	Oh, no, okay.
	Douchebag.
	For listening for over a year and not donating, John's heartfelt appeal to the masses hit me.
	I'm therefore donating $2.60, which is a year's worth of a dollar an hour.
	There you go.
	And to make good on the value for value, I should have been paying in the last year to the best podcast.
	In the universe, I would like a simple de-douching karma shot, please, and also keep up the good work.
	Oh, here it is.
	Da-warian.
	Boy, we suck.
	Close enough.
	All right, thank you.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	All right, thank you very much.
	Nice note, too.
	Appreciate it.
	Mark Workman, we don't have any, I don't have any comment from him.

	In the morning, I've achieved knighthood, and it's a very special occasion for me since my smoking hot fiancé, Candace, will become my smoking hot wife on Saturday.
	Our date...
	11, 10, 12 adds up to 33.
	So I figured what better time not...
	Is this right?
	What's the date today?
	11, 10, 12.
	Yeah, so that's Saturday.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Yeah, we could have made this as some sort of a donation number.
	What better time not only to get a wedding ring, but also a night ring and request a double shot at Karma for upcoming day.
	Can I tell you, we suck.
	How many times do I have to tell you that?
	We suck and then we go back, we tell everyone we suck and then they hook us up.
	This is how it works.
	Good system.
	I like it.
	You've got karma.
	Cool.
	We'll be knighting you, John Johnson.
	Well, we don't suck.
	Everyone says we're the greatest podcast in the universe.
	What we don't do well is we don't come up with these crazy numerological things very much.
	We don't spend a lot of time on it.
	You are correct.
	I was only drawing you out to see if you were listening.
	Sir Dean Bertram, our buddy in Ghana, 22222.
	Good day, John and Em.
	You've lifted the bar with shows 457 and 458.
	Yeah, I think they were pretty good shows.
	Informative and first class, you really spat the dummy on Sunday for donations.
	I don't know what that means.
	I'm not familiar with this term.
	So it's probably some African term.
	The shows are great.
	I believe now I have another knighthood who would like to give it to my daughter Donna.
	Unlike her sister Dame Deanna, she is a listener on sufferance during the morning commute.
	In other words, she's tortured by Dean.
	Thank you for your best podcast in the universe.
	Three more daughters need damehood, so don't pull the pin on the show yet.
	Another five years should get us there.
	Spit the dummy, Australian term, to indulge in a sudden display of anger or frustration, to lose one's temper.
	The phrase is usually used of an adult, and the implication is that the outburst is childish, like a baby spitting out its dummy.
	Oh, spit the dummy is like a pacifier.
	They call that dummy.
	I think that's a misuse of the term because I wasn't mad.
	I was just...
	Sad.
	Sad.
	Joseph Frost, Sir Joseph Frost, one of our knights in Wooddale, Illinois, $200.
	Back again with the results of the election.
	Can we say goodbye to the Tea Party?
	May I get a Parliament rumble overlaid with the Italian shut-up slave and karma.
	Which we've done before.
	It's a good one.
	I need it to be job karma.
	But love karma is also good, he says.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	Because, of course, I'm never prepared for...
	So he...
	It's the...
	And he wants the karma.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I think I can do it now.
	Shut up, slave!
	Stats eat the scout!
	You've got karma.
	Karma.
	And finally, Sir Kent O'Rourke in Frostburg, Maryland, 200, along with Sir Alan Martin, 200, who thanks me for chiding him, I guess, in the last show.
	Okay, that will be our donation, or sorry, executive producer, associate executive producer segment.
	You will probably find a drop-off on Sunday, so now is the time to get your associate executive producership in cheap.
	Right.
	Go to Dvorak.org slash NA. 460.
	And we want to thank, of course...
	460 is a good number.
	It is a good number.
	Daniel McDonald for the artwork on the previous episode.
	Also, we haven't actually done this, John, but I'd just like to say to you, in the morning.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	In the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, subs in the water, feet in the air, and a good in the morning to all the knights out there who give us all the support they do.
	I'm going to ask Mimi, next time you guys are sleeping in the same bed, I'm going to say, just wake him up at 3 in the morning.
	Just say, in the morning, and see if he rattles off that whole thing.
	In the morning to you, Adam Curry.
	Yes.
	And thank you to our double nights, multiple nights.
	Everyone getting in on the 12-12-12 nighthood.
	And, of course, anyone getting in before the end of the year still receive the coveted No Agenda Night Ring.
	And for those of you out there who cannot help us out in other...
	What are you doing?
	You're crashing around.
	That's the garbage truck coming by.
	Oh, okay.
	Please help us by going out and propagating our formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Real.
	World.
	Order.
	Come on, little girl, why don't you sing it for me?
	Shut up!
	Shut up!
	Oh, I forgot.
	We now have a conference server for all the no agenda hams.
	You can go to Echo Link node 780399.
	780399.
	And we are now on the air in Indianapolis on 900 megahertz.
	I think there was an Ohio where people are now connecting to this conference server.
	And they have their own repeaters where they're hooking into their local repeaters.
	it's becoming a pretty big club John we We had a real QSO going on during the elections.
	It was great!
	Yeah.
	It was great.
	Everyone was like, check it in.
	Hey, how you doing?
	And so once we're kind of building up this radio network, and then I can easily put a stream on it so that non-hams can at least listen to what's being said, and maybe you'll be motivated to get your license.
	It's not that hard.
	If I can do it, it's kind of, you know, getting your technician license.
	Anyone who's into computers are already two-thirds of the way there.
	You just have to be able to memorize stuff.
	You don't even need to be in the computer for the technician license.
	No, but I'm just saying most people that are listening to these shows have enough computer knowledge that just that alone takes you about 90% to passing the test.
	Oh, yeah.
	Without even studying.
	But I got the...
	Yeah, does copper...
	Can you put electricity through copper?
	Or glass?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	John, you're blowing it.
	That doesn't sound all that special.
	I am actually.
	I'm now studying Morse code because I've learned.
	Oh yeah, and the Morse code would be cool.
	Yeah, I've learned that...
	Do you have a speed key?
	No, I don't have one.
	I'm still learning the code.
	No, I'm totally...
	I mean, I have a thing...
	There's a cool app that will immediately translate the sound.
	I love that, too.
	So you hear some Morse code and you just hold your phone up to the speaker and it immediately translates what's coming in into text.
	That's pretty cool.
	But I want to learn how to do it because...
	You know, I should learn Morse code, too.
	I mean, why not?
	For one thing, on the bands that you send it on...
	You get way further.
	You can go forever.
	You can go around the world.
	You can land it in Moscow.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	Anyway.
	And it may be necessary one day.
	Anyway, so let me just give me...
	So please, everybody.
	It's EcholinkNode780399.
	That is the conference.
	And there's 33 possible slots.
	I've set it up that way.
	And we have a lot of people on already.
	So it's good to have you.
	73s, y'all!
	So I had to get back into our little discussion on the election.
	I think we can take it for a little longer.
	Really?
	Yeah, I got a couple of clips I want to play.
	Okay, well then can I play...
	Well, let me play this one first because it's a good entremant.
	It passes through.
	Stop, stop, stop, stop.
	An entremant?
	Yeah, you know, a little in-between, a little palate cleanser.
	That's the thing that the chef made this for you, that thing?
	Yeah, that.
	Ugh, I hate those.
	Only in the middle of the meal.
	It's usually a sherbet.
	No, and sometimes it's like some sappy ear.
	No, that's at the beginning of the meal.
	That's the bull crap at the beginning.
	This is always in the middle.
	Oh, okay.
	I like the sherbet, but I don't like the oyster.
	Like, here's some oyster snot.
	Chef made for you.
	Oh, thanks.
	That's really special.
	So, uh...
	Rush Limbaugh went out on a limb, you know, oh, people are going to be surprised, surprised at how Romney is going to easily win.
	He went on and on, you know, because it assuages his audience.
	So I had to just clip his opening the next day to see how he'd handle this on the show.
	And I have to say he's got a good sense of humor, but, you know, it wasn't, it was, yeah, play it.
	Broadcasting from high atop the WABC broadcast center overlooking Madison Square Garden in midtown Manhattan, this is New York City.
	Most listened to talk show host, Rush Limbaugh.
	Hey, any of you guys in there want to come sit in my chair today?
	Anybody?
	Nobody wants to come sit in my chair here?
	None of you?
	I'm giving you a golden opportunity to speak to, what, 50 million people?
	I can handle it.
	Okay.
	Nobody wants to come sit in my chair.
	The guy's a dick.
	It's not interesting.
	It's not funny.
	I mean, I've known this guy for a long, long, long time.
	We had the same syndicators.
	Media America.
	That's how we started.
	And, you know, my two business partners in my very first company, they syndicated Rush Limbaugh.
	And the guy, he just got really, really lucky with, you know, just a blowhard attitude.
	No, no, no.
	It wasn't luck.
	He was a top 40 disc jockey who just decided to go on this complete right bend.
	Yes, yes, I know this guy.
	He was a disc jockey.
	I'm telling you, you don't let me finish.
	When they changed the law in 1987, when Reagan pulled back on the Fairness Act, he says, that's bull crap, let's get rid of it, even though it was the Republicans who put it in, actually, to keep Roosevelt off the air.
	The day they pulled that off, he was on the air within months.
	He was the first guy to pick up on the fact that now you could do a show like this.
	For that alone, that's why he's worth $400 million.
	It took years before anybody figured out what he was up to.
	And I don't see how you can fault a guy.
	It's like a change in law.
	You say, wait a minute, I can take advantage of this.
	And he did.
	I'm sorry, you're incorrect.
	It was his syndicators who took advantage of it.
	They are the ones that saw it, and they literally picked him out of the podunk, out of cow dung, and they put him on and said, do it like this, because I know how this went down.
	He is not a genius.
	Well, somebody's a genius who spotted this law.
	I'm telling you their name.
	Ron Hartenbaum and Gary Schoenfeld are the geniuses who came up with this idea.
	And they had the hardest time, by the way, for years trying to sell him to AT&T and to Canon and anyone who would listen.
	And, of course, they got a big piece of his butt, of his big, scary ass.
	Those are the geniuses.
	Rush Limbaugh is not a genius.
	All right, well, I'll look into these two guys.
	And I'm not jealous of his money.
	Well, you can't be jealous.
	It's not a zero-sum game.
	It's not like it comes out of our pocket.
	He's not asking for donations.
	But you said it like $400 million, like that's cool or something.
	I would hate to have to be him.
	I don't care how much money.
	Because you don't hear him having a ham QSO, do you?
	No, no.
	He having no fun.
	That's a good point about the ham license.
	He should have one.
	Donald Trump was on the stick as well during the election results.
	Now, let's talk about a post-election tweet that's getting a lot of attention online.
	I love this report.
	Can you stop clipping the pen?
	It's so annoying.
	I've gotten into this bad habit of clipping this pen.
	Yeah, but it's like you hear it through the clips.
	You hear it when I'm talking.
	Well, it's like you and that cigarette lighter for years.
	Hey, I quit.
	Okay, well I'll put this pen.
	I gotta get a pen without a clicker on it.
	Now, after Obama's win, Donald Trump blew up on Twitter, calling for a revolution over the, quote, sham election.
	Now, he tweeted, he lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election.
	We should have a revolution in this country.
	Trump later deleted that tweet.
	Then people started tweeting about that deletion.
	He also tweeted, we can't let this happen.
	We should march on Washington and stop this travesty.
	Our nation is totally divided.
	Now, the tweets just kept going on and on and on, and a lot of people there Now, here it comes.
	Now, just so you understand, he tweeted something dumb, deleted it, and then started retweeting.
	Who gives a crap?
	But here's what the population says.
	They're angry on Twitter, and they're firing back.
	A lot of people are saying they're going to boycott Trump's show, The Apprentice.
	Oh, right!
	Sure!
	Change your Twitter icon to NoMoreTrump and don't watch The Apprentice.
	I guarantee he's going to have super high numbers.
	You stupid, stupid slaves.
	I'm going to boycott him, but I'm going to watch if he says anything that I hate about him.
	Oh, man!
	He's good.
	Population, sad, sad, sad.
	He's great.
	That guy is a genius.
	He is great.
	He's better than Rush Limbaugh when it comes to smartness.
	There's something to be said about that.
	So here's a clip I thought was good.
	This is a very famous money manager who's fled the country, and he still manages like hundreds of millions of dollars, and he does a newsletter.
	And he's definitely a negative Nelly, but he's now living in Thailand.
	This is Mark Faber clip one.
	Is that the guy living in Thailand?
	I thought it was someone else.
	I know you're growing increasingly concerned these days.
	What motivates that concern?
	Well, first of all, I'm surprised that on the re-election of Mr.
	Obama, the S&P is only down like 30 points.
	I would have thought that the market on his re-election should be down at least 50%.
	But not that I would think...
	Yes.
	I think Mr.
	Obama is a disaster for business, is a disaster for the United States.
	Are you sure that he's not a former Nazi in Argentina?
	He might be.
	Not that Mr.
	Romney would be much better, but I think the Republicans, they understand the problem of excessive debt We're good to go.
	Okay, so that actually, the clip I wanted to put was the other one.
	But that was a good clip, and now the clip that really got my attention is the second clip by this guy.
	And to portray them as a profiteer of the system, which to some extent they are.
	Not because they wanted to, but Mr.
	Bernanke enabled them to be profiteers.
	Now, we have a situation where...
	You have today, Mr.
	Obama, I doubt he will stay at the presidency for another four years.
	I think there will be so many scandals.
	But anyway, that's another story.
	Why do you think that President Obama wouldn't make it four more years?
	Well, I mean, you know, there is so much smoke.
	I suppose there is some fire.
	And I just doubt.
	That's my observation.
	But we don't know how the world will look in five years' time.
	I'm pretty sure central banks will continue to print money.
	And the standards of living for people in the Western world, not just in America, will continue to decline because the cost of living increases will exceed essentially income gains.
	You know, I have a jingle for this guy.
	Hold on a second.
	I'm telling you.
	I'm telling you.
	You think he has a...
	I can't even do his voice.
	No, hold on a second.
	I'm seeing if I can find it because it's probably located in some other...
	I know who you're thinking of.
	That other guy who wears the bow tie.
	No.
	Yeah, no, that's the guy...
	He lives in Southeast Asia too.
	Yeah, he's another naysayer.
	No, this guy's new to me.
	No, this is the guy I'm thinking of here.
	Yeah, exactly that guy.
	It's exactly Comic Strip Blogger.
	I'm telling you, it's him.
	It's a good one.
	It's him.
	Now that you mention it, we can have comic strip blogger do this guy.
	Just have him call in and say some stuff and record it.
	Well, so there is a lot of smoke surrounding the president.
	And this smoke immediately was blown in everyone's face as we came back after the election.
	And my favorite television show, which I always watch, you can find it at video.state.gov, Victoria Nuland in a really, really ugly-looking chiffon sweater.
	And here's our buddy Matt from Reuters.
	So now that the election is over, the president has safely been re-elected, you're going to answer all of our questions about Benghazi?
	Or is that too much to help you?
	I think you know where we are.
	We have an ARB running, and the ARB, we hope, will answer.
	ARB is Accountability Review Board.
	All of our questions.
	So the answer is no.
	What specifically did you have in mind, Matt?
	Any of the questions that you've been asked over the past several weeks that you've refused to answer.
	And we have tied that to the fact that we have an ARB running.
	It was never tied to the election.
	Oh, I think that some people thought that it was.
	I love you, man.
	I really love that guy.
	So he's going to stay on that because, of course, this is a real problem.
	And there's still one guy out there, one lone douchebag trying to get it all done.
	His name is McCain.
	We are seeing an anger level amongst the veterans about this Benghazi thing that I have never seen before.
	I wanted to ask you about that, Senator.
	You actually called.
	You want a special committee set up to investigate the Benghazi attacks, and you called for that this weekend.
	Talk about that.
	We just have to have a select committee like we had with Watergate, Iran-Contra, and those.
	I mean, there's just too many conflicting stories.
	There's too much back and forth and different sources.
	And, you know, four brave Americans did die.
	And that really requires that level of involvement.
	I have to say, I have received so many emails from service men and women, and not just American, but also our buddy over there, Alexander, in the Netherlands.
	They are so angry about all these generals and admirals being detained, taken out of command.
	I mean, it's crazy.
	And there's another guy that they're railroading.
	Hold on a second.
	What was his...
	They're putting him on some kind of...
	Here it is.
	General...
	What's his name?
	Yeah, we got a lot of notes, including people saying that they were told to stand down at the point of a gun.
	Which, of course, all lines up with the theory that there was a kidnapping that was carefully orchestrated that failed.
	Which is very much like the gun running that Holder's boys did.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's the same thing.
	Which was a failed, another failed scam that was voiced on the American public.
	And they still won't get to the bottom of it because, you know, I guess the Congress is just tired of browbeating them.
	And the president's not going to do anything.
	And they don't have the guts to indict him.
	I mean, they have put him under, they gave him a censorship.
	Or censor.
	Censure.
	Well, I forget what they did, but.
	They said they gave him a knuckle wrapping.
	It didn't do any good.
	It was just a scam.
	But Holder is like...
	One guy was killed by the incompetent bombing.
	This time you killed an ambassador and a bunch of SEALs?
	Come on.
	But what I've heard is that there were a number of high-level commanders who were really starting to seriously consider a coup.
	And really, you know, mutinying against what's going on.
	And one of them is this Army Brigadier General Jeffrey Sinclair, who now they've thrown into the brig on, there's your pen again, on forced sodomy charges.
	Sorry.
	That's okay.
	Forced sodomy charges?
	Okay.
	So they're just rolling these guys.
	What is it?
	A general.
	Brigadier general.
	Yeah, forced sodomy.
	Yeah.
	On who?
	Yeah.
	Some unfortunate recruits, I guess.
	Hey, boys, get in here!
	I'm going to show you the Army way.
	But, you know, so we have General Ham.
	He took him down.
	Did they have that happen while they're on active patrol out there in the Middle East?
	That's unheard of.
	This is unheard of stuff.
	And people are angry.
	And I'm getting the emails.
	You must be getting the emails as well.
	People are like, wow, we've never seen this happen before.
	But no, no worries, because we threw that, the writer of the anti-Islamic film, we threw him into prison.
	Well, that didn't fly.
	No.
	Because we spotted it immediately, not to brag, but it was such a farce that the...
	I don't know what they're thinking.
	They just don't have very good writers in the White House, I guess.
	I don't know.
	Well, they didn't have a backup plan.
	They thought it would all go smoothly.
	They thought that the hostage...
	They had it all set up, John.
	They had Argo the movie, which would totally mind control everybody, taking the call back to the Iranian situation based on a true story.
	We would have the exact same thing happening.
	And it turned out it wasn't even necessary.
	Yeah.
	No, and here's the real irony.
	The last president who quit in disgrace was Nixon, who also was freaked out about not getting re-elected.
	And did this, you know, the plumbers.
	Of course, he was set up, too.
	What was the plumbers thing?
	Oh, you mean the Watergate?
	They broke into the Watergate apartment hotel complex and they bugged the Democratic National Committee offices.
	It was very famous.
	But it was before your time.
	No, I've heard of it.
	I've heard of it.
	So Nixon freaks out because, you know, he thinks he's going to not get it re-election.
	He got a landslide re-election.
	I mean, it was at least as...
	Better than Obama did.
	And so Obama...
	These guys are so freaky because I think at some point...
	I think it goes like this.
	At some point, you know about the game that we're going to keep the polls tight so we can get as much money as possible.
	You know the game.
	Right, that's the game.
	But you keep hearing over and over how tight the election is, and Romney could win.
	Right.
	And even though you know that polls are rigged, you still start disbelieving.
	You start saying to yourself, as a paranoid would, like Nixon would be, and all these guys, you're paranoid and say, wait a minute, maybe they're tricking me.
	Yeah.
	Maybe this is a tight race.
	Oh no!
	So what do you think...
	Now the news media will basically...
	It got until the inauguration and all that, but I guess what are we going to talk about now?
	Is it going to be Fiscal Cliff?
	Is that all we'll be hearing about for the next two months?
	Yeah, pretty much.
	That's so annoying.
	As it starts to collapse before the fiscal cliff.
	Now, here's my scenario.
	I actually have a clip here.
	We love scenarios.
	Can I have a scenario?
	Can I have half a scenario, please?
	I'll give you a scenario and a half.
	Here's the doomsayers on one of my favorite stock market shows called Fast Money.
	These are all professional traders.
	They have this show and they talk real fast too.
	But here's what they're thinking about the market as of yesterday.
	Again, I think you're in a pretty defined range.
	It feels awful today, and it is.
	I think we will go lower from here at some point, but I think until that happens, you trade the range that I think we're in right now.
	And I'll say again, I think we're in this 13.79 range, which I think we'll touch, and obviously 14.25 on the upside has been resisting.
	We'll talk about it more later, but you have to look at it out of the blocks.
	You know that taxes are going up.
	So you're going to be selling stocks.
	You had to be selling stocks today.
	People would rather have 2012 taxes.
	Didn't you know that yesterday and the day before?
	No, you did know it, but you didn't know that Obama was going to win.
	Now you're forced to do it.
	And with liquidity, you really have to get out of a lot of these names.
	Well, the problem is that we've completely erased any positive catalyst that you could have in the market.
	Right on.
	Gold is up another $12 today, $20 in two days.
	Hey!
	I think gold is what it is.
	Yeah, it's what it is.
	It's the best thing I've ever invested in, ever.
	Ever.
	Well, I invest a lot of time in this show.
	You should have bought some real estate in your day.
	Well, I did, but I had to sell it when I got poor.
	Well, that should have been a better investment than gold.
	No.
	Yeah, because it's so leveraged.
	Real estate's a leveraged investment.
	So, I mean, when you make money in real estate, you're making 5X the amount of money you put in.
	You know, there's a great real estate thing going on here in Austin.
	Oh, Austin's booming.
	Yeah, we should be doing this.
	So there's this, it's called the Capital Factory.
	And this is a bunch of angel guys, you know, like angel investors.
	And they rented out the top floor of the Omni.
	Are you familiar with the Omni in Austin?
	Yeah.
	It's like half hotel and half business.
	Yeah, they have something similar to that in Atlanta.
	Right.
	So they got the top floor and it's like 27,000 square feet.
	I have no idea how big it is.
	And so they have like all these angel investors, you know, maybe they put five grand in there, ten, or very small amounts.
	But then they rent out desks, wait, chairs, desks, cubicles, monthly.
	So it's $175 for a chair per month.
	So you could be there as a scam business, really low priced.
	And you have all of the angel investors who will advise you.
	But people are paying $750 for a cubicle per month.
	These guys have got to be raking in the dough.
	We can do this.
	Come on, John.
	The Curry Dvorak Consulting Angel Group.
	Get your cubicles here.
	Yeah.
	They're nice cubicles with stand-up desks so you don't even have to buy them a chair.
	It's great.
	Stand-up desks are healthy.
	Yeah.
	When we move, we have to move because we're going to get kicked out of here in February.
	I'm going to do a stand-up desk for the studio.
	I'm really tired of sitting on my ass.
	You're going to do the podcast stand-up?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, for sure.
	It changes the energy of the show.
	I think it'll be a good thing.
	It could be.
	Could not be.
	I don't know.
	I mean, we'll have to find out.
	It might be terrible.
	My legs are killing me.
	Three hours standing.
	Lots of emails about our cot discussion, which I remember saying during the show.
	Yeah, you said it's cat.
	I said, isn't it cot?
	Oh, it's gott.
	No.
	Did you get the note from the guy who was married to a Yemen woman?
	It's pronounced G-H-A-T? Hello.
	South Yemenis.
	South Yemenis.
	Married to South Yemenis.
	Yeah.
	So a lot of people are now checking in and saying, wow, you know, yeah, we've heard about this.
	And some people saying, please don't have Miss Mickey bring it back.
	That could be a bad experience when coming back into the country.
	Thanks for that.
	But I want to try this now.
	This Schedule 1 drug.
	They must have it in Austin.
	But apparently, so I talked to Tony the terrorist after our show, and he says that one of his other clients got busted.
	They're called bunches, I guess.
	You buy it in a bunch.
	Yeah, it looks like they have pictures of it on the internet.
	It's like these bunches.
	I don't see how anyone could identify it as anything other than a bunch of herbs.
	It looks like lawn clippings.
	Yeah.
	Well, you said that this client of his who got busted and went to jail for a year had like 40 pounds of it.
	Really?
	Yeah, but you can grow it yourself.
	Apparently it grows quite well in California.
	Yeah, I think you'd probably grow it.
	So there's a lot of farms that grow it.
	I guess it's a pseudoamphetamine of some sort.
	It gets you all wired up.
	But it's a weight loss thing.
	This is what I still think the weight potential is.
	Once the public, which is why I think they want to suppress the information, once the crazy fat public finds out that you can chew on this stuff and get more energy and lose weight, it's a gold mine.
	That's funny.
	A note came out today and all of a sudden a lot of things popped into place for me.
	Bangladesh keen to join Four Nation Gas Pipeline.
	And of course the Four Nation Gas Pipeline, which one is that?
	Well, that would be the Bangladeshi one.
	Is that a Gazprom line?
	No, no, no.
	It would be the TAPI. So that's the Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India pipeline.
	So they want to join.
	And then I'm like, let me just go take a look at where Bangladesh is on the map.
	Oh, my God.
	What is it right next to?
	You don't know either.
	It's okay.
	Not off the top of my head.
	Burma.
	Burma.
	Oh, right.
	So the Chiners, they got there, because of course Burma is the next, so you have Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, I'm going from left to right, Burma, and then you're in China.
	So the Chiners have been over there, you know, with their own little pipeline.
	You know, we had Lucifer go hang out, and they just had a little lesbian moment with the woman over there in Burma, Myanmar.
	Like, oh, she's so awesome, and kiss, kiss, hug, hug.
	And that was so obvious, because we wanted to bring the gas all the way from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan, through Pakistan, through India, through Bangladesh, through Myanmar slash Burma.
	And we're going to be there saying, hey, Chiners, you might as well get it from us.
	And to back that up, here's a report about Afghani oil and gas, which was very interesting to me.
	According to a 2011 report by the World Bank, 97% of Afghanistan's gross domestic product drives from military spending or donor funding.
	This means it is very crucial for the Afghan government to begin to exploit the estimated 9 billion US dollars per year.
	That could come from oil reserves.
	A recent U.S. geological survey estimates the country holds as much as 1.9 billion barrels of undiscovered crude oil reserves.
	If oil prices stay stable, that means Afghanistan could eventually earn more than 9 billion per year, half of the country's 2011 GDP from oil.
	And today we begin the commercial production from the Angat filth.
	And in Angat, there are four operating wells.
	This is the Minister of Mines, and so they've just started exploiting this $9 billion a year mini bonanza of oil in Afghanistan.
	And where's it going?
	And every day the production from Angat wells would be around 700 barrels.
	And from the 15th of November, this drilling rig, you can see they are drilling the well, and from the 15th of November, every day they will begin the oil production from this area, which is called Kashgar area, and every day they will be producing or extracting 1,400 barrels of crude.
	The crude oil extract it will then send to China to be processed by local refineries, and from there it will be sold to the international market.
	We really have no shame, do we?
	We just invade Afghanistan and then sell it to the Chiners.
	This is what's going on, people.
	You think the Lucifer Hillary clippity-clop just showed up in Burma just because she thought the chick there was hot?
	No.
	It's to connect everything.
	And when I saw Bangladesh, I'm like, ugh.
	You don't think about Bangladesh.
	I don't know.
	I think about, didn't the Beatles do a show in Bangladesh or something?
	Yeah, for the floods, I think.
	That's all I can remember.
	But now you look at it, it's like it's between India and Burma, and then Burma, you're in China.
	Bing!
	It's all about oil, people.
	Nothing else.
	And that's why the president has a Chinese half-brother.
	That's Chinese.
	I could be wrong.
	So, I have a real news story.
	Oh, well then you're going to have to reset yourself.
	What did you just do?
	While I was playing that, were you looking at porn?
	No, I wasn't doing anything.
	Oh, you went up an octave.
	I went up an octave?
	I love a parade.
	The sound of the drums.
	Okay, hang on.
	The problem is, when I do this, it never really resets right.
	I know, you have to go and reset everything.
	I'm getting a new machine.
	Right.
	You do that.
	Really, a new machine?
	Well, one of our knights, or would-be knights, is going to...
	I think he's a knight.
	Oh, he's one of our knights.
	He's going to make a machine...
	For me, and I'm going to credit the show.
	He's going to credit the show.
	Oh, nice.
	I'll tell you what, why don't you reconnect, and I'll talk to the hams.
	KF5SLN is on the conference repeater in the morning.
	Let's see if anyone's out there listening.
	Oh, that's pretty disappointing.
	Where are the hams on the air?
	Hello?
	Let me see if we're still connected.
	K-O-N-0-B-A, repeater.
	K-3-H-T-K, repeater.
	K-F-5-S-L-N, repeater.
	Well, there's somebody connected.
	There's nobody listening.
	Am I connected?
	Yeah, you're connected.
	There we go.
	You're back.
	Hello?
	Yes, hello.
	Oh.
	It's funny because now I'm connected and you're not.
	I'll just change that.
	All right.
	K-F-5-S-L-N. No.
	Radio check.
	Are you here?
	Yeah, I'm here.
	Can you hear me?
	Yeah, I can hear you now.
	Okay, back to normal.
	Well, this is really disappointing.
	So I went out and we got all these hams connected and I made a call out for a QSO on the DX, a CQ, and no one came back.
	They were listening to the show.
	No, that's true.
	So much for your grand scheme.
	No, it's going to take a little while.
	Don't worry.
	It's going to happen.
	I'm very, very bullish about this.
	There you go.
	There's someone checking.
	Are you too late now?
	No, it's too late.
	Too late.
	Okay, so...
	There was something I was going to play.
	Oh, yeah.
	I wanted to say hi to everybody out there on the East Coast.
	It was just nine days ago when Superstorm Sandy...
	Listen to this guy.
	Listen to all the...
	What is it when you use the same syllable?
	Alliteration?
	Alliteration?
	Yeah, alliteration.
	Superstorm Sandy.
	The eastern seaboard, dozens of lives and billions in damages.
	And tonight, fresh stress and pain as a snowy nor'easter rips across New England down to Maryland.
	Oh, the nor'easter's in.
	Yeah.
	Blowing sleet and snow into Sandy's open wounds and pretends...
	Growing sleet and snow into sandy open wounds.
	The thousands still without heat.
	The threat of hypothermia.
	Very real tonight.
	Our extreme weather team's Ginger Zee spent the day in New York's hardest hit communities and reports now from slushy lower Manhattan.
	Slushy lower Manhattan.
	You know, Bill, this is just one of so many spots that we're just starting to see the signs of recovering after Sandy.
	But look at this.
	Now we have a wet, slushy, snowy mess on our hands.
	A mess that's all part of a nor'easter dropping up to 10 inches in parts of Connecticut already.
	And you'll get a couple more inches in places overnight.
	But this whole thing will be out of our hair by tomorrow night.
	And really, it will just end up being an icy speed bump on the road to recovery.
	An icy speed bump on the road to recovery.
	You know what?
	All these people, I just...
	I just like to shoot them.
	I really would like to shoot them.
	So annoying the way these news reports come out.
	They got nothing else to do but come up with that crap.
	By the way, this all is because of the wobble, you know.
	This is the...
	No one really talks about this, and I was surprised.
	The New York Times had an article, which makes no sense to me.
	Dying satellites could lead to shaky weather forecasts.
	The New York Times is saying...
	That all the weather satellites are either dying, running out of battery power, taking out of commission, so we won't be able to get good weather reports?
	This sounds like the biggest piece of horse crap in the universe.
	I mean, I can talk with my ham radio to satellites.
	There's so many of them up there.
	I think this is a bogative story, and what it's hiding is the fact that our poles are shifting significantly.
	The magnetic north has changed by several degrees to such an extent that most airports around the world have had to paint new numbers on their runways because magnetic north is changing.
	There could even be an inversion of the poles.
	This is actual science.
	And I think that we have a wobble.
	This happens throughout the history of the earth.
	It happens all the time.
	Not all the time.
	No.
	But it happens every...
	I don't know.
	I don't know what the cycle is, but I think it's 10 or 20 or 30,000 years.
	And it's happening.
	And this is, for me...
	During the interregnum, a good word for you, the time between the shifting, all hell breaks loose.
	The poles are bouncing around.
	They're all over the place.
	They may go away for 100 years and then pop back.
	The interregnum, which is a very good term, a period of discontinuity or gap in a government organization.
	That's the wrong interregnum, apparently.
	What is the interregnum?
	Well, I guess you rejected the word from the government to the natural sciences.
	Hmm.
	Interregnum.
	Anyway.
	It's a good word.
	But anyway, yeah.
	So we have an actual wobble, and that's why you're having these severe storm systems.
	But you're being duped into believing that this is all some kind of climate change, global warming bull crap.
	And climate change is, of course, real, but it's because of the interregnum.
	Oh, God, that sounds so hot.
	I'm going to try that again.
	You know, of course I understand climate change.
	Hold on.
	Cocktail party.
	So...
	Yes, well, of course climate change is real, but it's due to the interregnum, not to the agoraphobic...
	Oh, I messed it up.
	You're going to have to rehearse this one.
	What's the A4 and A-G-W? No, no, you want that.
	There's a word for man-made global warming.
	It's A-G-W. A-G-W. What's the word?
	No, no, no.
	Yes!
	Now, here's where the chat room should come in handy.
	What is the term for man-made global warming?
	Anthropogenic.
	There you go.
	Anthropogenic.
	Anthropogenic, yeah.
	Anthropogenic.
	So let me just write this down.
	Interregnum.
	It's anthropogenic.
	Anthropogenic.
	Okay.
	Well, of course.
	Is it anthropo or anthropo?
	Let me check again.
	Anthropo.
	You're right.
	Anthropo.
	Okay.
	I don't want to say it wrong.
	Okay, here we go.
	Well, of course climate change is really taking place, but of course it is due to the interregnum and not necessarily anthropogenic global warming.
	Therefore, if you believe in the actual science fact and you cannot prove it through the satellites which are dying, you should also believe that nuclear energy is the solution to all things we need.
	Yeah, you can get money from the nuker guys from that.
	Hey, by the way, you said you used the same phrase twice in a row right at the beginning of that spiel.
	You have to do it without saying, but of course, but of course.
	Yeah, I know.
	I realized that as I was saying it.
	All right, try it again.
	Obviously, the climate change that you see taking place before us in the nor'easter with Superstorm Sandy, which is now throwing more into the...
	What was the open wound thing?
	I want to throw that in there.
	I think the open wound should be in there.
	You can't keep...
	You're going to script this.
	You can't make up a whole new script.
	I like the script.
	I want to do more.
	You stink!
	I think I should...
	All right.
	I'll work on it.
	I'll work on it, and I'll have it for Sunday.
	I'll have my spiel.
	You might want to record it.
	Hold on.
	We used to do this, John, and I think we should do this in the newsletter.
	Good newsletter, by the way.
	I liked what you sent out.
	I think that we should have a script for everybody that includes the words interregnum.
	Interregnum.
	Interrectum.
	Interregnum.
	Interregnum and anthropogenic.
	And it'll be something that people can just rehearse.
	And then you'll basically be saying, screw you and your stupid climate change, but people will think you sound really smart.
	Thoughtful.
	You sound thoughtful.
	Thoughtful.
	But the dying satellites, that is a big flag in my book.
	That's a big flag when the New York Times says, I mean, weather is the most important thing for everything in the universe depends and revolves around weather.
	So how can, oh, we made a mistake.
	Oops.
	Here, let me just read this.
	The United States is facing a year or more without crucial satellites that provide invaluable data for predicting storm tracks, a result of years of mismanagement, lack of financing, and delays in launching replacements, according to several recent official reviews.
	Bull crap!
	So they're saying we won't be able to track storms like Hurricane Sandy because we didn't invest enough in satellite technology.
	I'm not buying it.
	Sounds like a bogative excuse for incompetence.
	Or a bogative excuse to just make up stuff.
	Instead of the wobble of the interregnum.
	What's a better word for wobble?
	We need a better word for wobble.
	Look up synonym as wobble.
	Wobble.
	Wobble's a good word, but it also sounds...
	It sounds a little wonky.
	It sounds a little wobbly.
	Diane Sawyer-ish.
	Like wobble.
	Wobble!
	So I've got a Bradley...
	Just to change the topic for a second.
	I've got a Bradley Manning update, which...
	Hold on, sorry.
	Oscillation.
	Oscillation is good.
	Oh, awesome.
	Okay, yes.
	Bradley Manning.
	It's a good word.
	That's a word a ham would use.
	Oscillation.
	Pilots also use it because you have PIO, pilot-induced oscillation.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Just not good.
	So you have magnetic field-induced oscillation.
	Yeah, magnetic field-induced oscillation during the interregnum.
	Wobble.
	Hot.
	I can see chicks just going, yeah, I'm going home with that.
	Yeah, they really go for that.
	I'm going home with that guy.
	Chick magnet.
	All right.
	Bradley Manning.
	Let's talk about it.
	So here's the deal.
	So there's a long report on Russia today about Bradley Manning, and they went on and on about apparently what he's going to do.
	I'm going to cut it down because it was really lengthy, but I have a little clip here.
	Yeah.
	They're going to do a plea bargain with the guy, they think, and he's going to probably get a shorter sentence if they give him or whatever they're going to do.
	Because he admitted to something, right?
	I read that he admitted to...
	Yeah, he admitted to something and didn't do something else.
	But whatever the case was, they threw in an extra piece of information on this report that I... Didn't know.
	I don't know.
	Tell me if you knew this thing about the CIA guy.
	Okay, so what does this mean in terms of a sentence for Manning?
	It really could mean anything right now because they don't have to necessarily accept this plea notice.
	They could go ahead and say, no, we don't think so.
	You're going to be court-martialed and we're going to prosecute you and you're going to be put in bars for the rest of your life.
	But if you go back just two, three weeks ago, we had another accused whistleblower, John Karaku, who was a CIA agent for years and years.
	John Karaku was the...
	One of the first six people charged under the Espionage Act by President Obama.
	His crime allegedly was going public with the use of waterboarding and he named a couple of names involved in the post-9-11 practices overseas.
	He was expected to do 45 years in prison for going forward with that.
	He pleaded down just a few weeks ago.
	He's getting two and a half years right now.
	So are we going to see the same thing like Manning?
	I mean, that would be wonderful.
	I would take two and a half years over life in prison.
	But it's really, we're not going to have any answers until at least February at this point.
	We are living under a Nazi regime.
	This is an outrage.
	Did you know any of this?
	Yeah, I think I had it in the show notes about the guy going to jail for, I thought it was one, but I guess two and a half years.
	Yeah, and I remember reading it like, wow, he's the guy that busted open the waterboarding and he goes to jail?
	Yeah, especially since waterboarding is not torture, it's just a process.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's baffling to me.
	Baffling.
	Well, you know, that's funny you would say this because there was a bunch of guys on C-SPAN. I didn't get this guy's name, but there's four book authors.
	They're talking about the future of the country and all the rest of it.
	And I thought it was interesting.
	This one character went out with just a kind of an interesting matter-of-fact repression quote talking about how...
	And this began with Nixon, by the way.
	When Nixon came on, the Robert, is it Robert Frost?
	What's Frost's name?
	The interviewer.
	David.
	Dick.
	Dick Frost.
	And he was on the Dick Frost show.
	He said, Frost got the show off the ground or made the show work when he got Nixon to say, well, I'm the president.
	Laws don't really apply to me.
	They made the movie about that, right?
	About Dick Frost.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and it was like, oh, the movie, yeah, no, I can do whatever I want.
	I'm the president.
	Well, apparently, Bush felt the same way, and Obama feels the same way, and I just got a kick out of this guy's kind of summary of how it all works, repression in the USA. I got to testify on behalf of the American Bar Association to a committee in the House when the previous president announced, through his various signing statements, that he would decide for himself whether or not he had to obey the laws.
	And every Republican saw nothing wrong with that.
	There are...
	You know, democracy is not about policy.
	It's not about policy outcomes.
	It's about process.
	And I think as long as we continue to focus on do whatever we need to do to get the policy outcome we want, to hell with process, to hell with the Constitution, you know, is it repressive, more repressive?
	You know, how do you define repressive?
	How about wiretapping without a warrant?
	Is that repressive?
	You know, so I do think we're more on a slippery slope.
	I have two words for you.
	Predator drones.
	That's right.
	You will never see it coming.
	That's right.
	Laugh it up.
	Yeah, laugh it up.
	Because the press is the first one to get it.
	Yep.
	Laugh it up.
	Yeah, nobody's paying any attention to any of this stuff.
	And this guy's right.
	You know, process, what he's talking about is, you know, policy is like we want to push this through.
	Process is the rule of law.
	Oh, that pesky thing.
	Please.
	That pesky constitution.
	Please don't insult me.
	You run into people, these Obama bots were the worst.
	I mean, you tell them, well, there's a constitution.
	Everybody knows this.
	It's old-fashioned.
	Constitution is not democracy.
	We live in a democracy.
	Gary Johnson's a big, you guys are screwballs.
	We live in a democracy.
	We live in a democracy.
	Chris Matthews is part of the problem.
	He is an anti-American, unconstitutional a-hole.
	Unconstitutional.
	What he said.
	You know what?
	Let me just play that again.
	Let me just play that again.
	I've just got to hear him again.
	All night long.
	But if you don't vote, I don't want to talk to you.
	And if you vote for one of these numbskull third or fourth party candidates like Gary Johnson or Jill Stein and say, oh, I was so surprised at what happened.
	No, you shouldn't be.
	Because idiots like you voted for third and fourth party candidates and they don't know how this system works.
	You have two choices.
	Chris Matthews!
	You know, I think MSNBC should lose their license.
	No, they don't need a license for cable.
	I think Chris Matthews, if you see him, go up to him and say, just spit in his face.
	Say, I'm sorry.
	You don't understand my system.
	This is how it works.
	You say stupid crap, I spit in your face.
	Ugh.
	Anyway, that is why you cannot rely on your media.
	They have been warned.
	I mean, that was during the Washington Press Corps dinner.
	The president there is threatening the Jonas Brothers, but the message is clear to everybody else.
	If he is willing to drone the Jonas Brothers, he is willing to drone any single one of you people who are reporting if you're not doing it the right way.
	So that is why you need to be listening to...
	The best podcast in the universe!
	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 No Agenda in the morning.
	Yeah, we do have a few donors for this show, 459, and I want to thank them profusely.
	Warren Carroll in Des Moines, Washington.
	I came in with 155.55 in the morning from Merrill, Washington.
	Marijuana, Washington.
	I never donated 55.55 for the fifth anniversary.
	I know that it's no longer accepted.
	So here is 155.55.
	My new way of hitting people in the mouth is passing on your Red Book predictions to my friend.
	And when they come true and they ask me how I knew, bam!
	I tell them about the best podcast in the universe.
	By the way, I just want props to the chat room.
	Instead of spitting on Chris Matthews, people hope he steps on a Lego.
	Steps on a Lego?
	Have you ever stepped on a piece of Lego?
	Yeah.
	That's the most painful thing you've ever felt.
	Well, if you ever stepped on a three-pronged outlet plug, I think it hurts too.
	Okay.
	Kevin, by the way, Legos are a total threat as a product by these 3D printers.
	Oh, yeah.
	You know, I would love to have a 3D printer.
	You can get a home 3D printer for about $1,100.
	Can I make sex toys with it?
	Yeah.
	That's easy.
	Yeah, but it has to be made of...
	Kevin, by the way, I'm going to be writing some columns on 3D printers in the near term.
	There's all the software available.
	A lot of it's free.
	And there's a lot of trading of designs.
	It's an amazing subculture going on right now with 3D printers.
	It's going to kill the fleshlight business.
	Well, I don't know about that.
	Kevin Webb, Carrollton, Texas, 14552.
	Complete my knighthood.
	Thanks for the No Agenda, No Nation tracker, by the way, which is at No Agenda Nation.
	You can track it and see how much money you need to throw in to get a knighthood.
	You need some job karma.
	You've got karma.
	Can you just hold on one second, John?
	Let me just...
	I just want to disconnect and reconnect because I think we have a huge delay.
	Unless you're just ignoring me, but I think it's just a delay.
	Hold on one second.
	It won't take but a moment.
	It's very quickly for me to do that.
	Here we go.
	And...
	We're back.
	Thanks.
	Anonymous in Buffalo, New York, 138.
	I've been a listener for three months.
	This is per your speech at the end of Sunday's donation segment.
	Here's a value for value amount.
	Good stuff.
	Keep it up.
	I wanted to recommend a book that would be right up your alley, called Powering the Future, written by a Stanford physicist who realistically lays out all their energy options.
	No political BS in its site sources.
	Adam would specifically enjoy it.
	Oh, okay.
	I'll check it out for sure.
	Firis El Thibani in Riyadh.
	Ridya.
	Saudi Arabia.
	I want to say to everyone listening to the show, donate if you want journalism that gives you the facts with no agenda.
	I haven't donated in a long time.
	Also, please do my knighthood accounting.
	You can go to noagendanation.com for that, by the way.
	Excellent work as always.
	Your friend from Riyadh.
	Awesome.
	Thank you very much.
	By the way, 133.32 is 500 Saudi Real's.
	Real's.
	Perfect.
	And well-deserving of a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Kelby Koenig in Grover, Colorado, 124, wanted a birthday shout-out.
	We got him on the list, which was on Tuesday.
	Can you get a douchebag, two-to-the-head, little-girl-yay combo for everyone out there still listening and not donating?
	Okay, and karma as well?
	We want to see that little girl combo.
	He wants a douchebag.
	No, no karma.
	Okay.
	Douchebag.
	Wow!
	There's something funny about that.
	Yeah, there is.
	And Kelby claims to be my name.
	He's a protege.
	Mark Borgesi in Lost Wages, Nevada.
	One, two, three.
	Now, this is interesting.
	We have a series of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5s that were not solicited.
	Hmm.
	I find that all these things always...
	This is like the 69-69 thing.
	And he goes, that's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for 5 great hours of entertainment every week.
	Can I get a Karma in the morning for all No Agenda listeners?
	This is...
	You've got Karma in the morning.
	And then in...
	In...
	Charlotte, North Carolina.
	Great little place.
	Jonathan Halper comes in with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	The top secret government briefcase combination is now in your hands.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	I think we missed a news story.
	That's probably what happened.
	Let me see.
	Briefcase combination.
	I bet you there was some briefcase somewhere.
	Some dumb 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 briefcase combo.
	Do you notice that Google has changed the way they do everything?
	Yeah, they're...
	I don't know what their problem is.
	While you're looking that up, I'll continue with another one, two, three, four, five donations from Oscar Nadal.
	Sir Oscar Nadal to you and me.
	Tecate, California.
	He's from Tijuana Nuts.
	I finished Confessions of an Economic Hitman and started Atlas Shrugged.
	Can I get an...
	Hey!
	All right, everybody.
	What does he want?
	A full-on combo?
	He wants an Atlas Shrugged Yee-Eye.
	I don't know what the...
	What's Yee-Eye?
	It's probably just a little girl, Yee.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	And karma to go.
	Perfect.
	By Ayn Rand.
	Wow!
	You've got karma.
	I love it when they mess with you.
	That's...
	They're wasting everyone's time.
	But 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 crops up again from Julian Erickson in Chicago.
	Your show is the best podcast in the universe.
	And what keeps me sane in this upside-down media world, before No Agenda, I knew the news was bullcrap, but until I found you guys, it was a lonely fight.
	Now I'm hooked.
	I can't keep up my boning ways, so I cut off Comcast.
	I'd like to suggest an Amazon banner at devorek.org slash NA to help you generate more shekels.
	By the way, you get very little from those things.
	Nothing.
	I mean, the Amazon thing is ludicrous.
	Amazon is a rip-off.
	You know the big book show?
	Yeah, you get what?
	Nothing.
	Five dollars a month?
	Yeah, five bucks.
	That's what you get.
	Can I ask your question?
	On a previous donation, I asked for a job, Carmen, getting laid.
	Carmen, not suggesting a double dick.
	Dick.
	Double dick.
	Double dip.
	But I was without income and hadn't been laid for months.
	It was necessary.
	Let me say to all out there who are not donors yet, pay for media that lies to you.
	What?
	What?
	Let me say to all those who are not donors yet, pay for media that lies to you.
	No agenda karma works.
	I don't know what...
	He probably said, you're paying for media that lies to you.
	Right, that's what I think he said.
	No agenda karma works, so you should buy some.
	Why?
	Because within a week or two of karma, I landed my dream job.
	Pro.
	And met the love of my life.
	She's not hooked on you yet, but will tolerate facts about helium.
	What?
	So he needs another karma, I think.
	And is it, do we, and he says, asking karma shot to, is he supposed to mention a name here or not?
	No, I didn't see anything.
	All right, well, here we go.
	Well, I'm happy to hear that.
	Congratulations.
	That sounds great.
	You've got karma.
	Awesome.
	Awesome.
	David DeRus in Zwindrecht.
	No, I'm sorry.
	That's just not right.
	Zwindrecht.
	Zwindrecht.
	Pig dreck.
	You're right.
	That's correct.
	And that's in Holland.
	There's another 1-2-3-4-5.
	I don't have a comment from him.
	So that was weird.
	Weird.
	I'm looking.
	I can't find anything on the Google about a briefcase.
	All at once.
	All at once.
	Unsolicited.
	A slew of them.
	That's weird.
	I find that to be weirder than the 69-69 thing, which would be kind of a running gag.
	Well, I think from now on we just call the 1-2-3-4-5 is the magic briefcase combo.
	It must be.
	Sir Bean in Thousand Oaks, California, 11812.
	ITM to the greatest podcast universe.
	Showing some 420 love for the GATT analysis.
	It's a stone donation, dude.
	Oh, man.
	Oh, man.
	ITM to the greatest podcast in the universe.
	Sir Bean here showing some 420 love for the GAT analysis in show 458.
	With my donation amount equal to today's date, 11-8-12, I'd like a hey, citizen, shut up, slave, topped with some caregiving karma, radical dudes.
	Hey, citizen.
	Shut up, slave.
	You've got karma.
	It is truly, truly an honor to be allowed to work with such a talent.
	I'm great.
	You are.
	You're the greatest pop host in the universe.
	Robert Runyon in Lee's Summit, Missouri.
	111.12.
	Patrick Maycomb in Mount Vernon, New York.
	111.11.
	Kevin Fairchild.
	Land of Lakes, Florida.
	111.11.
	Sorry, I didn't hear my $55 donation listed in episode 455.
	I'm doubling down now to make sure this one gets through.
	John's rant about lack of donations and the silly excuses people have for not doing it was great.
	Obviously, the rant works since I'm donating, so maybe you should get angry about it more often.
	Anyhow, do either of you know what the heck is up with that Read No Agenda site that always gets linked from N.A. show notes?
	Yeah, I'm going to take that off because this is another one of those great initiatives, which I really liked, where people would fanscribe the show.
	Oh, right.
	It's about 45 episodes behind, and at this point, it seems to have been shut down.
	Oops, sorry.
	Wow!
	Yay!
	That sucks.
	I'll take it off.
	Anyway, Google Juice, getting new listeners to discover the show.
	I hope it started back up whenever.
	Awesome.
	Thank you, Kevin.
	Land O'Lakes, Florida Nuts.
	Hey, Jason Witten, Marlton, New Jersey, 111.11.
	It's Fort Doris Knighthood, beginning its ring by Sunday's broadcast.
	Wow, all right.
	Thanks.
	John's speech got me motivated to stop being a boner and give it to the best podcast in the universe.
	Hope this helps.
	Can I get a general karma shot and one for yourselves as well?
	Thank you very much.
	Well, I'm very happy to see boners coming up, stepping up.
	You thought karma.
	This is beautiful.
	And it's nice.
	Jason, brand new donor.
	Nice.
	Thanks, Jason.
	I see good old Howard Gutknecht in Seattle came up.
	I'm sure your karma will improve things as things unwind.
	I'm raising a glass of homebrew ale to toast another five years.
	And please play a John Huntsman and a karma for my kitchen floor refinishing project.
	I really didn't have a full understanding of the situation when I began prying up the old Formica tiles under $10.
	That can really be quite annoying, I'm sure.
	Oh, yeah.
	You've got karma.
	And yes, it looks like, you know, considering that Hillary and Jeb are getting ready for 2016, we'll be on the air for another five more years.
	The universe will not come to an end.
	The elites know it.
	We're good to go.
	I'm backing Joe Biden.
	Mm-hmm.
	William Smock.
	Smock, Smock!
	In San Diego, California, $100.01.
	Two to the head, shut up, slave.
	He wants income tax going up, sales tax going up, property tax going up, health insurance already up.
	I guess in California the beatings will continue until the morale improves.
	I love it.
	It was so funny.
	Someone close to me who shall go unnamed said, I'm kind of happy that Obama won.
	I said, uh-huh.
	Really?
	I said, so, you know, how about all the taxes that are going to go up next year, which will immediately affect your dress purchasing opportunity?
	Well, that changed the conversation.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it would.
	Sir R. Daniels, Colson, New Jersey, $100.
	Looking for job promotion, karma.
	Yes, he sent me an email.
	We had a little email back and forth.
	And also some karma to your lovely wife, Sir Daniels.
	You've got karma.
	And if he gets a job promotion, he says he's coming back with another knighthood.
	Good.
	Seth DuBose in Midlothian, Virginia.
	That's what it is.
	$99.79, a New Jersey unclaimed property donation.
	Aha!
	Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
	Please be aware this donation does not contain interest for the period this douche has kept custody of these funds.
	I'll try to be more expeditious with future donations.
	I would be very sad without my new agenda.
	Thank you so much, Seth.
	Appreciate it.
	I have money in Jersey, too.
	Really?
	KGB Properties.
	Kyle Blank.
	KJ. KJ. Houston.
	KJ. Houston.
	KJ. Houston.
	Did I say KG? KGB? Is that what I said?
	Yeah.
	It's so funny if you're KGB. KJB. Couldn't shell out 459 and 4590.
	It's just too low for a podcast of this quality.
	Here's 9540 to represent how turned around this country has become.
	P.S. Good one.
	Your theory that natural gas prices will go up may come into reality soon if the EBA... What is with the EBA? I'm going to start using that.
	What is wrong with you?
	The EBA gets their way in banning hydraulic fracturing.
	It would start the production of some of the largest natural gas reserves in the U.S. located in shale deposits, plus Alberta, Canada will keep fracking and getting richer.
	Karma shot.
	It's not a theory.
	It's fact.
	Right?
	What?
	Facts.
	Facts!
	Fact?
	Yeah.
	You've got Carmen.
	No, we don't have theories that natural gas prices will go up.
	It's fact.
	Everything's going to go up.
	Of course, it's going to just gouge us to death.
	The EBA especially, those bastards.
	The EBA. Yeah.
	Nicholas Oben in Thief River Falls, Minnesota Nuts.
	7777.
	John's complaining about the low donations he got to me.
	So here's 777.
	All he wants is a karma shot.
	Thanks for a great show.
	You've got karma.
	Oh no, really?
	Is it time again?
	69!
	69, dude!
	Thanks for warning me with your little bell.
	Sir Matthew Greensmith in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
	69-69.
	In the morning from Gitmo Down Under, two reasons motivated to donate today.
	Firstly, looking at how long since I last donated...
	to turn in my night ring in disgrace.
	Oh, no.
	Crisis averted.
	And a name for a second knighthood in the year ahead.
	I also wanted to give you some story analysis.
	I hope you will like.
	I know you would prefer to set up the RSS, blah, blah, blah.
	So, yes, go ahead.
	I will set up one eventually, he says.
	So this is about knowage and the newsnetwork.com.
	By the way, I had a great talk with Dave Jones yesterday that we've been working for, I think it's now, wow, it must be six months, maybe even longer.
	We've been working on a whole new open source system that you can just install yourself and it all connects together and it all hooks into the news network and you can run hundreds of accounts and all kinds of groovy stuff.
	Free of charge?
	That's coming.
	And that'll be perfect for people like Sir Matthew.
	Well, he's got a long note, which I'm not going to read, but I'm going to use it as part of an upcoming newsletter because it's kind of interesting.
	He's got some good links, good stuff.
	It's about a scam, the way they're scamming the public.
	Gee, go figure, in Australia.
	Really?
	Really?
	Yeah.
	All right.
	So be on the lookout for that in the weeks ahead.
	Jonathan Miller, Lincoln, Nebraska, 6969, had to contribute to the Swazzle Nuff Karma on The Greatest Podcast.
	The universe requested de-douching since it's been too long between donations.
	Here's just the cashing my Swazzle Nuff Karma sooner rather than later, requesting karma and the little girl yay.
	Please, I'm sorry.
	That was total slip.
	I didn't mean to do that.
	Here we go.
	I'll fix it.
	You've been de-douched.
	Okay.
	You've got karma.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Where'd the little girl go?
	Oh, where'd she go?
	Little girl!
	Oh, there you are.
	I'm sorry.
	She was hiding.
	Ashley Hurst in Seattle, 6969.
	Have a horrible taste in my mouth.
	Please play Hillary Clinton.
	Almost too delicious to believe, my friends.
	Is there any hope left for the America of our forefathers?
	I agree we shouldn't just turn our bellies up and lay on our backs and take it.
	Or lean forward and take it in the butt like Chris Matthews and all the other shills are saying.
	Ashley, I love you.
	This is great.
	Ashley's got to be a girl.
	Women want to fuck Obama and men want to be him.
	What?
	Wait, is this in the note?
	Eh, something like that.
	Anyway, she, he, she, I don't know if it's a he or a she, by the way.
	I hope it's a she.
	But he loves us, guys.
	She loves us, guys.
	I love her.
	You never know.
	Ashley's a name you can't tell.
	I know, but I love it when women talk like that.
	It's almost too delicious to believe, my friend.
	Yay!
	Yay!
	Anyway, he or she's got a place up in Washington State and the islands.
	And Canada's close enough to swim to.
	We'll be visiting.
	This summer, 2013.
	Joseph Amory in Piscataway, New Jersey.
	Can I get a little girl shut up, slave?
	And two to the head, I'd also like to call out Doug.
	Doug as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Okay.
	Shut up, slave!
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	Monica Lansing in Drayton Valley, Alberta, Canada, the rich part of the country, 6969.
	Looking forward to hearing your deconstruction of the election.
	I think you heard it.
	I saw a quick clip of Diane Sawyer on the local news last night.
	It was hilarious.
	The two reporters she was talking to were rolling their eyes and looking exasperated.
	Of course, the best podcast in the universe knew what the score was long ago.
	Can you just imagine all these homes last night where at least one half of the married couple would be like, I knew it!
	I knew it!
	And the spouse is like, uh, what?
	What?
	I didn't know you liked Diane Sawyer.
	Greg Kuttner in Norwalk, Connecticut, 6969.
	Self-congratulating birthday shout-out from me.
	Say, hey, I've earned it.
	And considering the way the money flows, come to think of it, so have you.
	Kudos to you both on value for value, though groveling doesn't suit either of you.
	Let me propose to the head, kids shut up, slave karma, parliament mumble.
	Okay.
	To the head.
	Uh.
	Yeah!
	Okay.
	You've got karma.
	Please keep the request down to three.
	Yeah, really.
	Constantine Rakuten.
	Sir Constantine, as a matter of fact, in Toronto.
	6969 just wants some karma.
	Okay, got that.
	You've got karma.
	No problemo.
	Adam...
	Oops, sorry.
	Shut up, Parliament.
	What?
	No, the Parliament.
	I told them to shut up.
	Adam Redenauer in Kettering, Ohio, 69.
	Congratulations on five years.
	What else?
	A sincere thank you for all your hard work.
	A healthy dose of swazzle nuff karma would be much appreciated.
	You've got karma.
	Lauren DeBruyne.
	I would say Laurence de Braun.
	In Trondheim, Deutschland, Munich he's actually in, or as he says, Muen-Nuts.
	Oh, actually, no, he's got Munch-Nuts.
	Munch-Nuts.
	So it's Munich or Munch-Nuts.
	Munch-Nuts is probably it.
	I like Munch-Nuts better.
	Munch-Nuts is good.
	He's from Munch-Nuts, Germany.
	That's what it is from now on.
	Last time, Karmic got me a gig here working as an engineer for a big chip company.
	Unfortunately, the company is like a non-stop Dilbert cartoon.
	Hey, welcome to chip companies.
	Here's to five more years of the best podcast in the universe.
	A small douchebag call-out for me and some karma, much of which will go to my ex-mollowerf.
	From her old reindeer?
	Okay.
	You've got karma.
	It's...
	Malworth is a mole.
	It's a mole.
	Yeah, like one of those animals that crawls under...
	Yeah, it lives in the ground and pops up.
	Yeah.
	One of those.
	You whack them.
	To do the books.
	You whack them.
	Sir Jason Rosdiltsky in Saskatoon, the Paris of Canada, no matter what they tell you.
	6969 needs a karma shot with a little girl.
	Yay.
	Yay.
	You've got karma.
	Yay!
	Peace to had you.
	Is that right?
	How's that?
	In Vorendal.
	Hold on.
	Where are we?
	Pista Hajdu Vorendal.
	That's correct.
	I don't know.
	That doesn't seem like a Dutch name, though.
	That probably isn't.
	Pista.
	Hey, dudes.
	Hey, dudes.
	I wish I could send you a shitload of cash so the future of the best podcast in the universe would be safe, but I cannot, and that sucks.
	I love you guys.
	I don't miss a single episode.
	It hurts that Adam is already living the American Dream 2.0.
	Just getting by.
	I just wish the douchebag 95% out there just got their lame asses into donating the worth of a cup of coffee a week.
	Maybe they don't understand, but soon it's going to be too late to have two guys tell it like it is on the air without being busted by Lucy and her stooges.
	It's a fact.
	So please give a major douchebag call to all the listening leeches.
	As for me, please give a load of karma to my sweet wife Fleur.
	She finally gets the job she needs.
	Hang in there and keep going.
	Alright, here comes for sweet, sweet Fleur.
	You've got karma.
	And she is sweet, sweet Fleur.
	I think when we do the request, we get all these 69s.
	It's amazing.
	Steven Savichuk.
	In West Orange, New Jersey.
	Hey, Jersey.
	Jersey strong, man.
	I'm just sending some goodwill out to my fellow Jerseyans who have just survived Hurricane Sandy to get bombarded by a Nor'easter.
	Please tell Barry to lay off the harp since the elections are over.
	Also, I'd like to issue a karma call from my peeps that were hard hit by this mess.
	I was very lucky and had minimal damage to my house and only without power for two days.
	I know some people have lost their house and others are still without power.
	My sister was one of these and I was fortunate enough to find a generator for her so there are three human resources.
	Didn't freeze to death.
	Wow.
	Did you get a picture?
	Did you see the picture of the generator?
	Uh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I need to get me a generator.
	You need to get something like that.
	They apparently make a lot of racket.
	Well, you know, let me check the generator.
	He needs karma, right?
	Coming at him right now.
	He needs whatever.
	You've got karma.
	Totally needs it.
	Let me just see the generator.
	Jonathan Jackson in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
	Home of the Choo Choo.
	Chattanooga.
	6969.
	In the morning from Gitmo Nation, Moon Pie.
	Can I request some karma for myself as well as some F. Dementia karma for my grandfather who, despite medication, is getting worse.
	Thanks for putting together the best podcast in the multiverse.
	You know, I have a different...
	Well, first let me give you the karma.
	Here we go.
	Absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	You've got karma.
	I think dementia really sucks for the family members, but I think it would probably be a good way to go, personally.
	Don't you think so?
	I don't think so, no.
	And I'll tell you why.
	If you ever look at somebody's eyes who has dementia, they just do not look happy.
	They look baffled.
	They look befuddled.
	They look like it's like, this is not good.
	I believe they're probably anguished to an extreme.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, that sucked.
	I mean, yes, I have seen it, and it's horrible to see it, but I just somehow had this feeling like maybe you just kind of slip into this long-term stone stupor.
	That's dying in your sleep.
	It's a different animal.
	My great-grandfather died in his sleep, in his favorite chair.
	How awesome is that?
	It's...
	Yeah, that's the way to do it.
	Wilford B. Kessler in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
	From WBK in central Pennsylvania, here's to four more years of guaranteed material for the show.
	This is definitely guaranteed material.
	Hopefully there'll be enough donations to keep it going for at least that long.
	Thanks for what you guys do.
	A shot of I Need to Make More Money Karma would be appreciated.
	Yeah, you and us both, my friend.
	Thank you.
	You've got karma.
	As we continue with the 69s, this may be a record breaker.
	This is crazy.
	This is crazy.
	Patrick Scott in Ashburn, Virginia.
	69, 69.
	Hello from Northern Virginia.
	New listener to the show since late September when my best man Todd and groomsman Rod got me listening right before my wedding.
	Interesting.
	Thanks for the entertainment and analysis.
	Can I get a shut-up slave two shots to the head to celebrate the end of the election?
	Shut up, slave!
	Anonymous in Walnut Creek.
	Step two of my march to knighthood in honor of the 20th and 12th election.
	I need a shut-up slave two to the head.
	Take that to the bank.
	Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
	Okay.
	Karma.
	Shut up, slave!
	You've got karma.
	Jonathan Rowley in Edmonton, Alberta.
	Nice town, by the way.
	6969, I had to hold my tongue on election night.
	Thank you guys for revealing the truth.
	Keep up the great work.
	Love the show.
	He needs a hey, citizen.
	You've got karma.
	Okay.
	Hey, citizen.
	Okay.
	You've got karma.
	Sloan Kelly in Niagara Falls.
	Slowly I turned.
	6969.
	John, you smacked me in the mouth good on Sunday.
	I decided instead of making one-off donations like this one, I should subscribe.
	I just discovered no agenda in my community.
	It would be lonely without you guys, so keep me company.
	Can I get two shots of the head?
	Shut up, Slay, for not subscribing and a douchebag for all those who listen and don't cough up.
	Shut up, Slay.
	Douchebag.
	Christian Collins in San Carlos, California, 69.6.
	I had to do it.
	Can I have a drone again, Karma?
	You guys are the best.
	Oh, wow.
	Okay.
	Caught me off guard on that one.
	I don't remember it.
	Yeah, of course.
	Of course you do.
	It's not a Beatles song.
	Gilbert O'Sullivan.
	You've got karma.
	Beatles.
	Wasn't that a Beatles song?
	No.
	Didn't the Beatles do that in the 60s?
	No, it was Gilbert O'Sullivan.
	Beatles song.
	Oh, I keep saying it's Beatles.
	Mark Milliman in Longmont, Colorado.
	69, 69.
	Jersey strong, motherfuckers!
	You're spot on on Obama and need the Clintons and the Clintons, so vote Romney.
	A little late for that.
	Gary Johnson is good, but we don't need four more years of that American hating a-hole.
	What?
	Oh, he's talking about Obama.
	Yeah, well, what difference does it make?
	No jingles.
	Karma would be nice if you only knew the crap I know.
	I'm not drunk, but I have a good bottle of cab behind me.
	He's in Colorado.
	He's got karma.
	Maybe he does know something.
	Mm-hmm.
	David Dietrich in Round Rock, Texas, 6969.com.
	And Michelle...
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
	69!
	69!
	Oh, that's the end.
	Yep.
	Wow.
	All right.
	That was...
	Now it's got to...
	That's it.
	Because you'd have this burst at the end.
	It's like a stock market when it runs up and then it crashes.
	Which is exactly where we're headed.
	Michelle Kissinger.
	Kissinger.
	What?
	Midlothian, Virginia.
	Kissinger?
	As in?
	As in Kissinger.
	She might be related.
	She might not.
	Might be.
	Interesting.
	I like this donation on behalf of my boyfriend, Sean Canare.
	He listens regularly and has never made any donation.
	In fact, we recently took a 12-hour road trip and most of the time was spent listening to No Agenda.
	Please de-douche him as I cannot date a douchebag and give him some I want to take my girlfriend on vacation soon karma.
	Okay.
	Good.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Better listen up, son.
	I think that was a clear, the message is clear.
	The message is clear.
	Hell yeah.
	Sir James Briscoe in Bayshore, New York, 6345.
	Time to donate.
	All you need to know about the storm was that it totally screwed up the Long Island Railroad for more than a week and is still causing issues thanks to flooding in the East River tunnels.
	That's interesting.
	It makes the commute home a bear, I guess, by providing short eight-car trains when the entire platform is teeming with people.
	It's so bad, the police have to shut down or shut the train doors to prevent people from getting on like cattle cars.
	It's weird.
	Wow.
	I didn't see this report.
	I didn't see that report either.
	He's got a birthday coming up.
	Love of his life.
	Karma shot needs it.
	Even if she doesn't, it'll help.
	Yes, we give some karma to her.
	It's very good.
	It's karma.
	You've got karma.
	Did you give karma to my niece, Michelle?
	Justin Kekta in Gilbert, Arizona, $60.
	Nick Izmendi in Flint, Michigan, which I believe is the General Motors place.
	Sorry for being a boner, not a donor.
	I've been living the new American dream of just getting by and by racking lots of debt in college.
	Nice.
	I don't think I've donated enough for a dedouching unless you guys think I have.
	I plan on producing future shows so that way I can get my no agenda night ring at the last minute, but don't tell my parents that I'm giving you money.
	Anyway, like a pedo bear or two, they had little girls saying, shut up, slave combo, for all the computer science majors who will become the future sysadmins, game developers, and bioinformatics spooks of the future.
	I've been trying to hit my friends in the mouth, and I figured getting two podcasters to say whatever you want for 50 bucks will do the trick.
	Nick is on the ball.
	He clearly knows how it works.
	Shut up, slave!
	You've got karma.
	Kettering University at 5678.
	Nice donation.
	Thanks, Nick.
	Yeah, 5678.
	Daniel Castaneda in Lodi 5556.
	When John started talking about the show possibly ending to a lack of donation, I was talking directly to me.
	I'm donating all that I have at the moment, or I can, all I can at the moment, with more donations to come in the future.
	Please wish my wife Jessie and I some She's Pregnant.
	And doesn't know how to tell the parents.
	Karma, followed by a little girl, yay.
	Yeah, good luck with that.
	You've got karma.
	Wow!
	Yay!
	Well, they know now, don't they?
	Well, if they listen.
	Hey, by the way, we are more than available as a donation mission.
	If you want John and I to record something, to help explain something to someone you're having a problem, I think that we can do that as well.
	We could totally say, hey, hey, hey, Mr.
	and Mrs.
	Hey, guess what?
	The whole world knows but you.
	Hey, guess what?
	She's pregnant.
	Sir Zog in Elwood, Illinois, 55-56.
	I don't want to make Adam mad, so I'll 55-56 on this donation.
	All this bull crap about the election aside, I'm doing okay, so I'd like to ask for some Parliament grumbling to the head.
	Little girl, yay karma, for the show and the U.S. Constitution.
	That covers me for now.
	Keep on keeping on.
	If you're listening to find the show valuable, support it, people.
	Okay.
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Bogdan Lachendro.
	Bogdan Lachendro in Irving, Texas.
	Right down the street from you, 5555.
	I want to call Adam's Bluff about rejecting the 5555 donations.
	If you do accept it, please send some job karma for my wife.
	You've got karma.
	I'm against it.
	Sir Victor Gregg in Decatur, Georgia, 5555.
	I know I'm already night, but I want to continue to contribute, especially when I know that the 5555 donation is so annoying to Adam.
	This is the same.
	This is exactly what you're going to...
	Richard Colangelo.
	How's that, huh?
	Yeah.
	Litchfield, Connecticut, 5555.
	Daryl Sladen, or Sladen.
	Dublin, California, 5555.
	Daryl from Dublin.
	Karma shout-out to my soon-to-arrive human resource.
	Looking forward to scaring her mom when her first words are, Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave!
	Did your mom ever say, I'm not your slave?
	Yeah, all the time.
	Right, mine too, right?
	If I wish, I just wish that I just had the balls to say, oh yeah, mom, shut up, slave.
	How cool would that have been?
	Yeah, yeah, that would have gone over.
	Or, here's another favorite.
	I'm not a doormat.
	That's another favorite.
	Tom Schuring, Wheeler's Hill, Victoria.
	Hey, Tom.
	5555.
	Refuse this, Dvorak and Curry.
	De Jongens jen look bezig.
	De Jongens jen look bezig.
	It's an old one.
	Chad Eves, Hawthorne Woods, Illinois.
	I'm transitioning from a boner to a donor with my second donation.
	Please give me a de-douching and then karma.
	No, I think you missed a little something there.
	What?
	Read the note again.
	Please give me a de-douche.
	Oh, add an Atlas Shrugged.
	You've been de-douched.
	Atlas Shrugged.
	My God.
	Aaron Yoho.
	Yoho!
	Fairmont West Virginia, you're part of your old stomping grounds.

	Motown West Virginia, a.k.a.
	West Virgin Nuts.
	The more you two bitch about donations, the more I donate.
	Consider it a positive reinforcement.
	So here's double nickels on the sticks to nicks, the rain sticks for next week, because I'm going steelhead fishing in Erie.
	Please be distracted with fly fishing and WVU football, more distracted, than stockpiling...
	Prepper emails and electric vehicle batteries.
	This crazy note.
	Please give this country some Atlas Shrug karma at the time of this donation.
	I don't know who won the election, but whoever it is, it's only karma.
	Kyle Kinzel in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
	Nuts.
	5510.
	Is a thank you for watching all the things you do so I don't have to.
	Christine Lagarde's face.
	That's nasty.
	Can I get a Huntsman two to the head?
	That's very funny.
	He likes that because it sounds like a Taiwanese gangster whacking somebody.
	Yeah, that's good.
	Robert O'Hagan in Norwalk, Connecticut.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Birthday shout-out to Cred Kuttner.
	We got that on the list.
	Parliament mumble little girl.
	Yay, Karma.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Okay.
	Yay!
	Yay!
	Good luck with the next one.
	We'll start to wrap this long segment up.
	Yeah.
	Although it's highly entertaining.
	Anonymous and Den Haag, 5333.
	The hog with chew nuts.
	The Versailles of Gitmo Nation lowlands.
	Just landed a new job as a return.
	Some career karma for all citizens of Gitmo Nation.
	This no agenda job stimulus packages.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs.
	Arbeite, arbeite, arbeite karma.
	You'll never get this one.
	I mind, actually.
	I wasn't prepared for it.
	Let me see.
	Do I have arbeite?
	I don't think I have.
	Where's Merkel?
	No.
	What happened to Arbeit?
	I can do jobs, jobs, jobs.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Arbeit, Arbeit, Arbeit.
	Shannon Adkins in Warren, Michigan, another automobile area.
	NP5050.
	NPR should take notes from John as to drumming up listener support.
	This I blame the listener's comment on the last show got me motivated to stop being a douchebag and support the only show I look forward to listening to twice a week.
	Long-time listener, and this small donation makes my fourth on my long and slow slog toward knighthood.
	And Shannon says, keep it up, mofos.
	Yo, yo.
	Kyle Bandy in Indianapolis, Indiana, 50-21, birthday coming up, and he's not donating drugs.
	Seeing Obama beat Romney was a good birthday present, but seeing Mike Pence, Republican and douchebag, beat John Gregg, Democrat and a nice guy in Indiana, gubernatorial race was not.
	Pence co-sponsored a bill banning abortions for rape victims, going along with Richard Murdoch's insane and inhumane comments regarding rape and abortion.
	I listen to No Agenda on my walks to and from classes at the campus of the University of Indiana.
	Any other Hoosiers on campus who listen to No Agenda, let's have a meet-up.
	Yeah.
	Going to get some plain old karma and begin applying to law school as he's applying to law school.
	Kyle, let me know if you get late at that meet-up.
	You've got.
	I can answer that.
	For some reason, I have a good feeling about the Hoosiers, the Hoosier meet-up.
	I got a good feeling about it, seriously.
	Oops, I skipped ahead too much.
	Okay.
	Stephen Newell in Jacksonville, Florida, $50.01.
	Extra cent for the 1% of us Americans who voted for Gary Johnson.
	And by the way, they got the million votes they wanted.
	Four and a half percent of the total vote, right?
	It was a big deal.
	No, no.
	Yeah!
	One percent something.
	Oh, I thought it was four and a half.
	It's only a million something votes.
	They wanted a million votes.
	That's what they got.
	They targeted a million.
	They got a million.
	So they made their point.
	Right.
	Tristan Wilson...
	Kerrigan.
	Yeah, Kerrigan.
	I have to stretch it on this thing.
	Some exam karma.
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	Cherokee Chief Van in Enola, Oklahoma, 50.
	I've been listening since late summer.
	I need to be de-douched, plus some karma for the casino.
	Hey.
	Keep up the great work.
	Hey, hey, we should go visit.
	Yeah, we should.
	Get a tour of the slot machines.
	You've been de-douched.
	Oh.
	You've got karma.
	Nice.
	Another anonymous donor in Surrey, British Columbia, 50.
	First off, I'd like to apologize and be dedewish for not donating before, even though I've been a regular listener for a year.
	Ever since finding out about your podcast, I can't watch the mainstream media news anymore.
	I just wish you guys would talk about Canadian news and politics.
	We try to do it as much as we can.
	Unfortunately, this is not the week to do it, obviously.
	Keep up the great work.
	You guys...
	Keep up the great work.
	Job hunting, Connor.
	He found out about a podcast from the Joe Rogan message board.
	Yeah, and we need to be on that show.
	We've got to get on the Joe Rogan show.
	I'm in L.A. for a week.
	I don't hear anything.
	I don't have the guy's number.
	Everyone's tweeting.
	I don't think he wants us on.
	He needs some...
	I think he does.
	Job karma, hunting karma would be great.
	All right.
	You've got karma.
	I was thinking of going to LA for Thanksgiving because Miss Mickey's going to be in Istanbul for her show, for a big art show.
	Of course, we can't really afford for both of us to go on the road again.
	Not just the cost of it, but also the cost of the show.
	I just can't be doing the show on the road.
	God knows what kind of connection you'd get.
	Exactly.
	Who knows, right?
	Although the four seasons there would be nice.
	Yeah, that'll happen.
	Harm...
	Harm Veenstra in Born.
	Veenstra.
	Harm Veenstra in Born.
	50.
	Karma shot to each listener.
	Says Neek Veenstra.
	You've got karma.

	Keep up the good work.
	Graham Phillips in Onaway, Alberta.
	Wow.
	50.
	Bernie Atima.
	Atima.
	In Hinton, Iowa, 50.
	Finally, Tim Heazel in Hanford, California, 50.
	Hopes he quiets me down to try to donate more often.
	And he misses my roundtable shows, which I don't have any plans to do another one.
	Really?
	Mack Harbor, LLC, but I'll be pulled back.
	Mack Harbor, LLC, in Sheboygan.
	Sheboygan, Michigan, $50.
	That'll conclude our very linked list of donors for today's show.
	What, four, five, nine?
	Shut up, slave!
	Stop taking discount!
	And let's hope we have a good follow-up on Sunday, please, people.
	If you didn't donate on this show, please do it.
	Go to Dvorak.org slash N-A and ChannelDvorak.com slash N-A, Dvorak, NoAgendaNation.com and NoAgendaShow.com and you'll find the Donate button there you can click on.
	You can also go to the No Agenda Nation website and look for that night calculator and you can push a button and boom, next thing you know, you've got the whole thing figured out.
	Quick make good.
	Curtis Gibson wrote in, Hey, it's Curtis.
	I donated Swazolnaf6969 last Thursday's show.
	Missed out on some job karma.
	Didn't want to make a big deal about it since I felt I sounded like a bit of douchey correcting John's mispronunciation of Gravenhurst.
	Now the guy who I called out as a douchebag, Craig Hoogheim, is giving me an extra hard time for missing job karma, so we can't have that.
	Absolutely.
	I'm going to give you the karma that you need, my friend.
	You deserve it.
	You've got karma.
	Nice.
	A quick shout-out here, just as we've got a long segment anyway.
	Doug Cook from Oklahoma, Guthrie, Oklahoma.
	Did you get the note from him, from Doug Cook?
	Yeah.
	He sent us the tiger tail.
	I didn't get my tiger tail.
	Oh, you didn't get a tiger tail?
	Oh, I got a tiger tail for my ham, my portable ham.
	And he says, you know, losing your sight is very normal when you stop smoking.
	And he wanted a call sign karma, so I'll give him that.
	You've got karma.
	And I wanted to thank Dame Margaret, who sent us a, for our new home, John, when we move, she sent us a triangle.
	Like a really, really huge...
	A real professional triangle used in orchestra?
	No, no.
	Like the one that's on the chuck wagon.
	Oh, one of the big ones.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So on Sunday, I shall ring it.
	It's like Mickey has to hold it while I triangle it.
	You can't do it with two hands.
	That's how big this thing is.
	You can get a stand.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You know, I guess I could.
	Dvorak.org.
	Slash N.A.
	It's your birthday, birthday.
	Hey, hey, hey.
	I'm no agenda.
	Oh, yeah.
	I'm ready.
	It's your birthday.
	Kelby Conan congratulates himself.
	Turned 24 on the 6th.
	That would be election day.
	Craig Kuttner, happy birthday to himself, celebrating on the 9th.
	Sir James Briscoe, also a birthday on the 6th.
	Robert and Andrea say happy birthday to Craig Kuttner, as we know, on the 9th.
	So that's kind of a back and forth.
	And Kyle Bandy says happy birthday to himself.
	He became legal 21 on the 6th.
	Now, either you're still on the pen or you're now really clipping your nails.
	Either way, it's coming through the birthday stuff.
	Is it the pen again?
	Oh, you know, I can't stop myself.
	I'm sorry.
	It's okay.
	I want to help you.
	I got to get a pen that doesn't have a clicker on it.
	It's just one of these nervous habits I've got.
	It's like the guy in the James Bond movie.
	If you remember, he's clicking the pen and then it blows up and he gets frozen to death, falls over into a bunch of pieces.
	If I can get you a pen when you click it that blows up, I think that will solve the problem.
	Yeah.
	All right, let's grab our swords, John.
	We have two knights and a dame.
	John Johnson Jr., step forward.
	Donna Bertram, step forward.
	And Kevin Webb, come on down as we are about to pronounce the Knights and Dame of the Noagenda Roundtable for your contribution to the best podcast in the university, amount of $1,000 or more.
	So thank you very much.
	It's highly appreciated.
	Hereby I pronounce thee, Sir John Johnson, Dame Donna Bertram, and Sir Kevin Webb.
	Knights and Dame of the No-A-Genre Roundtable, Hookers and Blow, Red Boys and Chardonnay, Hot Pants and Booze, Wenches and Beer, Ruminous Women and Rosé and Geishas and Sake.
	Here for you as we move out to the closing out of the end of the year when we will no longer make the Night Rings available.
	We'll probably go to Dog Tags, I believe.
	I think we're going to the little pen like the Canadians have when they give their weird...
	Oh, here.
	JC is here.
	Here, take this one.
	Hey.
	He's giving you another pen?
	Yeah, he brought a pen in that I have to twist.
	That's a good boy.
	That is the definition of a pen.
	Where did he get this pen that says Freddie Mac on the side?
	Whoops.
	Anyway, maybe you're setting up to sell me out.
	So our producers, as those of you who are new to the program, the best podcast in the universe, may not know that we do not have listeners.
	We have producers.
	Who produce the show.
	They add stories to noagentanewsnetwork.com.
	They email.
	And we had a conversation about the Red Cross and their blood donation drive.
	And I got a lot of email about this.
	Because the Red Cross essentially came out and said, Oh, we need blood!
	We need blood for victims of Hurricane Sandy!
	And we're like, what is this?
	So first, listen to this little ditty that played on television screens across the country this past week.
	Flex.
	It can leave tens of thousands of families in need of help.
	But it can also bring out the best in the American people.
	In this country, we look out for one another.
	We have each other's backs.
	Because despite our differences, we are Americans first.
	That's what Americans do.
	These efforts are often led by the American Red Cross and other members of the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters.
	These groups are on the ground from the very beginning of a crisis until long after the TV cameras are gone, providing food, shelter, and other services to those in need.
	They do incredible work, but they can't do it alone.
	They need your support.
	We can't always predict when the next natural disaster will happen, but if we do our part, each of us, then together we can make a difference.
	To see how you can make a difference, please visit RedCross.org today.
	Your help is urgently needed.
	So there's the president actually in a commercial for the Red Cross.
	And a lot of people received emails either directly from the Red Cross or through their employer saying, we need blood for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
	So I got into this, John, and I'm like, what is going on?
	And indeed, they do need blood, but not for the reasons you might think.
	You might think that there was a shortage of blood.
	No, no, no, no.
	Do you know where hospitals get 75% of their blood from?
	Correct.
	From the Red Cross, who sell it to them for $500 a unit.
	Sounds like a business.
	Yes.
	And they're proud of it.
	So in order to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy, they want you to give blood so they can sell it to the hospital, not for victims, but just for the money, and then apparently they do something with that money.
	Isn't that the definition of being a vampire?
	I was really surprised.
	Yes, it's kind of a vampire-like thing.
	Well, it fits in with the themes around nowadays.
	Yeah, but it's not like they tell you, like, oh, well, just by the way, you know, we're going to sell the blood.
	I find it to...
	Well, if they say they need liver donations or kidneys or something, too, they can do the same thing.
	Please donate your kidneys for the victims of Hurricane Sandy.
	They get the kidney, they get ten grand for it.
	Boom.
	Boom.
	Good topic.
	Are you an organ donor?
	That would work.
	I'm sorry?
	I said that would work.
	I asked you a question.
	Are you an organ donor?
	I don't know.
	I'm not an organ donor.
	I'm still alive.
	Do you have something on your license or anywhere on your person?
	Or is it registered anywhere that you're an organ donor?
	I should, but I'm...
	No, no, you should not.
	Let me tell you this.
	Why, because you think they just shoot me and then take the organs?
	The doctors, from what I understand...
	From the medical community.
	And this started really in the Netherlands, where the Netherlands is now passing legislation where you have to opt out of being an organ donor.
	You hear what I'm saying?
	Everyone's an organ donor unless you specifically opt out.
	Okay.
	And what's the bad thing that happens to them?
	Doctors have an incentive.
	They get bribes to let someone die to take the organs.
	Now, that would make sense in this world.
	So, you may want to opt out.
	I'm not opting out.
	I don't have to opt in.
	I'm not opting in.
	You said that you were registered somewhere.
	No, I never registered.
	I said I should, but then you explained to me why I shouldn't, and so now I'm not going to.
	Very good.
	Excellent.
	So...
	In real news...
	Okay, I got some of that.
	And now, back to real news.
	I just want to point, this was a story that ran, I didn't see it on any of the celebrity shows, but I'm sure there was some element of it here and there.
	But Naomi Campbell...
	This is going to be good.
	I want to just point out that this is like, everyone they're going to mention in this report, these are the big Obama supporters.
	And they decided to have a party in India because Naomi Campbell's billionaire Russian boyfriend, she hangs out with weird people.
	Yeah.
	This billionaire Russian boyfriend is his 50th birthday, so instead of, you know, a little more than a cake, she chartered 12 airplanes, filled it up with her buddy, made sure not to invite Mia Farrow, who busted her for stealing the blood diamonds.
	This woman is horrible.
	So the only way I get the real good report was from an India news channel.
	Love and bonding can spur you to do many things.
	And when it's about a special celebration, there are no limits.
	Take a look at who flew halfway around the globe for a special day.
	Twelve chartered planes.
	Some 200 guests and an international supermodel were reasons enough to turn India's northwestern Rajasthan into a celebration stage.
	Naomi Campbell, who arrived in the desert state on Sunday to mark the 50th birthday of her boyfriend Vladimir Doronin, was happy to choose Jodhpur as her party spot.
	Several vintage cars were lined up to transport the guests to the luxury Umayyad Palace Hotel, which the British ramp queen has booked for her guests.
	The four-day festivities and the main bash are scheduled at the iconic 15th-century Mehrangar Fort.
	The guest list for the Russian billionaire's birthday is said to include the band Black Eyed Peas, Grace Jones, Donatella Versace, Kate Moss, Giorgio Armani, Jennifer Lopez, and Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson.
	Wait a minute.
	What is the Duchess of York going to do?
	I don't know.
	I want another drink.
	And now, appearing as Diane Sawyer, the Duchess of York.
	...has reportedly also splashed out $500,000 to have Grammy winner and American singer-actress Diana Ross perform at the party.
	The British model chose Jodhpur over Jaipur since the place has been part of many grand celebrations in the past, including the wedding of now-separated couple Liz Hurley and Arun Nair.
	Campbell, who is the face of the Ronin's property company, started dating the tycoon after meeting him at the Cannes Film Festival four years back.
	Wow!
	Wow!
	Hey, I'll blow the Russian guy for that.
	You know, I'll tell you, this is a level of decadence that you can, when people say, well, you don't understand the rich.
	You don't understand the rich.
	You can't even imagine.
	This is like, I know guys who are billionaires.
	Really?
	In Silicon Valley and elsewhere.
	But this level of decadence, except for some stuff Paul Allen did some years back, I don't know anyone who's come close to this sort of thing.
	And you know who's always at these parties?
	Politicians.
	There should be a couple.
	They never mentioned it.
	Demi Moore was listed.
	There's a whole bunch of these douchebags.
	It's astonishing.
	But everybody gets paid to show up.
	Everyone gets...
	I mean, how come they don't want the best podcast in the universe at the party?
	We're beneath their contempt.
	We are not in their interregnum.
	Anyway, I just found that to be interesting.
	Well, it's interesting you bring that up because I also have a real news clip, John.
	And it's not anywhere as decadent as yours, but...
	And now, back to realing.
	It was actually prompted by an email we received.
	Julie wrote, Dr.
	Lisa, I'm constantly bothered by ingrown hairs and bumps in my bikini area.
	Shaving in different directions doesn't make a difference and hair removal creams, they're just irritating.
	What can I do?
	Well, Julie's not alone.
	A lot of women suffer from these problems with down there.
	And just like you want to squeeze pimples on your face, you don't want to squeeze or pluck because that can cause scarring and infection.
	So you have to be really careful with that area.
	So what you want to use is a warm compress.
	Leave it on for about 10 minutes.
	And you want to do this about two to three times a day to soften up the skin and the hairs, open up the pores.
	That's going to make it a lot easier for the hairs to just sort of escape by themselves.
	New meme coming.
	There's also some oils that you can use that may help it escape.
	And you really want to try to avoid using a tweezer as much as possible.
	But if you absolutely have to, you have to use a sterilized tweezer and be very, very careful to not do a lot of digging.
	Now, you could do all of the...
	Wait, wait.
	You could do all of this or, or John C. Dvorak, I think we have a new business.
	I couldn't get the domain name.
	It was already taken.
	But it doesn't matter because I still think we can get in on the ground floor of a brand new business.
	Things like that.
	And it's going to make you feel sexy if you know down there is looking good.
	So, I've got something for you.
	If you're trying to look, try something extra special, there is a facial for down there.
	And it's called the Vidacial.
	And we decided to check it out.
	Yay!
	The vajacial!
	What happened to the vajazzling thing?
	Well, this is the follow-up.
	The vajacial?
	I can't even say it.
	Vajacial.
	We can have a vajacial salon.
	Diane Sawyer could say it.
	I just had a vajacial.
	With an exclamation mark.
	So why did you put an exclamation mark after the vajacial salon?
	Huh?
	Jake Trapper?
	Jake Trapper.
	Jake Trapper.
	The Vajacializers.
	Well, Vajacial is good.
	I like the word.
	I think it's a good practice.
	I think women everywhere should get a Vajacial.
	Your man demands it.
	Don't you think?
	Yeah, I'm absolutely in agreement with this.
	So I got a couple of...
	Vajacials.
	Yeah, you've amused yourself with that one.
	Yeah, I did amuse myself.
	By the way, I do have a five-minute end-of-show clip if you want to play it.
	Sure.
	It is a screwy clip.
	It's a...
	Admiral James Lyon, retired U.S. Navy, going on about the Benghazi situation, of all things, on Lou Dobbs' show, who keeps leading him on.
	But it's interesting because...
	If you know our thesis, which is that it was a kidnapping gone bad, just a scam, it actually makes a lot more...
	When you hear this, the two of them are baffled by a lot of this, but to no agenda listeners, it just all makes sense.
	Of course.
	It's so funny the way things fall into place, like with the pipelines and such, when you actually have one extra little bit of information, which is what I think we do on this show more than anybody...
	I'm providing that one extra piece.
	I do have...
	We haven't talked about it on the show, and I don't know if we're going to, but apparently in Syria, some of the Palestinians, who I guess have sided with Assad, were gunned down by the rebels, which creates a very strange dynamic.
	Nisreen, this has reportedly happened at the Yarmouk refugee camp.
	What more do we know about the location, and indeed what's happened?
	Well, as you mentioned, these are reports.
	We're hearing that Syrian rebel fighters have killed at least 10 members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
	That's a Palestinian faction.
	That, the report allegedly said, is close to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and was fighting.
	He armed opposition rebels in the area close to the Yarmouk Syrian refugee camp in Damascus.
	That's also close to Al-Hajar al-Aswad district.
	And Street 30, where a lot of fighting has been happening in the last few days there.
	We can't...
	No, of course.
	You know, even Hillary Clinton has said, you know, we can't have the Syrian National Committee or Council because they're not the right guys.
	The whole thing is a mess now.
	And someone needs to grab hold of it.
	It's a total mess.
	Someone needs to grab hold of it.
	I mean, this is out of control.
	Now Turkey wants Patriot missiles...
	Because apparently Assad is going to start shooting missiles at Turkey.
	Really?
	Bless you.
	Bless you.
	They've been shooting some missiles that have missed and gone into Turkey on the border.
	Right.
	And this whole thing is, you know, they've changed the script on this so many times.
	I have no idea what they're going to do next.
	But this can't help.
	No.
	No.
	Anyway, it's just a bad...
	We have to get into that and figure out what the hell is going on.
	Just a quick look at the kill list.
	President Obama started his second term on Wednesday with a drone strike, killing three al-Qaeda militants near the Yemeni capital.
	Good job.
	So this...
	So one day, just re-elect, and he's right on the button again.
	Yeah.
	He's consistent.
	I like that about him.
	He's back on the stick.
	Absolutely.
	And I've read this crazy story that Bill Gates is investing apparently $1.7 million to deliver vaccines to Africans through drone technology.
	We talked about this on the show before.
	But I think we were making it up then.
	And now it's like...
	No, no.
	There was a real report.
	There was somebody...
	No, it was a clip.
	Somebody was talking about drones and talking about this as an idea.
	So I guess somebody passed it on to Bill.
	And Bill went, yeah, that's excellent.
	That's an excellent idea.
	Excellent.
	Was it a clip we had?
	I don't think so.
	I think it was some sort of a clip.
	It was a show title, too.
	We'd have to go back to that show.
	No, no.
	Yeah, it was door-to-door, drone delivery, door-to-door.
	Yeah, no.
	Vaccines.
	Yeah, it wasn't vaccines.
	That was Domino's Pizza.
	I don't remember what, well, whatever.
	How do you do this?
	You just send a bunch of needles down and you get stabbed?
	I mean, how does this even work?
	It just lands.
	No, I mean, instead of, you know, the whole hassle of putting people in a Land Rover and sending them off, you know.
	Oh, I know.
	Instead of taking it on a C-130 and throwing a parachute out the back door.
	Yeah, you just tell them to line up, line up, and then you shoot darts into them.
	The drone comes down, lands with a package full of drones, and it takes off.
	We don't have to worry about killing anybody.
	No, it doesn't do that.
	It just flies by, and then, you know, it's just like shooting needles into you.
	Something very funny happened in the Netherlands.
	I'll play the sound clip.
	Well, I'll tell you what happened, then I'll play the sound clip.
	So the Dutch government has a new cabinet.
	What are you doing?
	I'm erasing my note.
	I have a clip list, okay?
	Okay.
	And every time I play one of the clips is played, I scratch it out, and I was scratching out one of them.
	All right.
	I'd never heard the sound before.
	What does it sound like?
	Well, it sounded like you were rubbing one out.
	You have like a dirty mind.
	I do.
	Go on.
	So the Dutch Queen has to inaugurate the cabinet, which is called Rute Twee.
	So it's the same guys, you know, it's all the same douchebags.
	And they're basically just bending over for Brussels.
	So she has to inaugurate them.
	And this happens in like some official capacity.
	Of course, the Queen is only ceremonial, right?
	She doesn't have any real power, except that she bestows the power from Greystoke onto the cabinet members, the prime minister, etc.
	So they have it set for 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but for some reason, they start the ceremony early, like two minutes early, and the Dutch news station, the government, like the PBS of Holland, the NOS, they were still playing commercials, because of course, even though they're public, they still have commercials.
	And so they come out and they've missed the ceremony.
	And then the director calls down to the intercom and says to the set, tell the queen to do it again.
	And unfortunately, they left the mics open.
	Oh, no.
	And so you literally, you don't see the, I have the video in the show notes, 459 or not nashownotes.com, and I'll play you the audio.
	The queen goes, what?
	Do it again?
	Really?
	But doesn't that mean it's just like some kind of high school play if we do it again?
	And she did it again.
	How awesome is that?
	Here it is.
	What do you have to do it again?
	What?
	It's going to be a little bit of a day.
	I should have to do it again.
	I don't want to do it again.
	No, you have to do it again.
	And so the whole country witnessed this farce.
	And she did it again.
	Like everything on television, it's fake.
	It's all fake.
	They did it again to put it on television.
	It wasn't even real.
	Yeah.
	This is getting worse, by the way.
	No, no, no.
	It's all thanks to reality TV. They've all decided, hey, you know, you can do anything.
	People are stupid, and they'll believe anything you feed them.
	Yeah.
	And let's get on with it.
	Like Megyn Kelly in there.
	This isn't the way it went in rehearsal.
	Yeah.
	And she's just straight up about it.
	I guess, what does the public go, what does that mean?
	I don't know.
	You know, I have no idea how this has gotten this bad.
	It's just horrible.
	Horrible.
	I've been very depressed.
	And Greece passed their third austerity bill.
	What's essentially happened is that politicians here in Greece have voted in order to allow the next round of austerity measures, the latest austerity package.
	MPs vote, 153 MPs voting in favour of these latest austerity measures, 128 against, and there were 18 abstentions.
	What new austerity measures mean, though, for the Greek people is that we're going to see the retirement age rise to 67.
	There's also going to be slashes to pensions and wages.
	And there's also going to be new laws that's going to actually make it easier for employers to fire their staff.
	And besides that, they also passed the privatization bill, which means that they will be privatizing their water.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's what you want.
	You want your water in private hands.
	And here is the response of the slaves in Athens.
	Actual bombs going off. - Yes.
	There were actual bombs.
	People throwing bombs on the street.
	Yeah, they're making Molotov cocktails.
	You know, the Greeks are the last people I'd be trying to pull this crap on.
	Yeah, well, it's being done.
	They've shown the numbers.
	They're actually the hardest working people in Euroland.
	In show business.
	They're the hardest working people.
	They have more higher productivity per individual.
	They work hard.
	And then you're trying to screw them over because you take, for one thing, you take their own money away so that they can't control their own economy anymore.
	And then you stick it to them.
	And then you pull crap like privatizing water?
	Yeah.
	How great is that?
	What is that supposed to accomplish that's going to help the economy?
	Well, it's not.
	It's about telling the shaves to slut up.
	It's disgusting.
	The whole thing.
	Wow.
	And by the way, people in like Holland, they're just like, oh, it's not us.
	Don't look over there.
	People don't understand that this is coming to your town too.
	Yeah, this is just the testing.
	The way I look at it, you know, if you're doing the mailing list business, for example, or any sort of direct marketing, then one of the first things you learn is that you always test against the best.
	Test against the best.
	You test against the best.
	So in other words, if you have a bunch of mailing lists that you can test, You don't test against weak mailing lists and then get mediocre results and say, well, I don't know, let's try it again on some other mailing list.
	You test against the absolute best mailing list, the most expensive one, the best one you can find.
	If you fail, if the test fails, you know they're all going to fail because you just tested against the best.
	They're testing against the best with Greece.
	If you could pull this crap off with the Greeks, boom, everybody's doomed.
	Hell yeah, brother.
	From your lips to God's ears.
	Thank you very much for hanging out in our little interregnum here.
	We are proud to be your best podcast in the universe.
	We have a end of show clip coming up.
	About five minutes, but that should totally ease you back into reality as the program ends and you are back in the land of the American dream.
	All around Gitmo Nation just getting by.
	And we will be on the stick once again, looking for real news as your news stations will be giving you nothing but bullcrap post-election analysis in America.
	And God knows what they're showing you in other countries.
	Apparently, fake ceremonies with queens.
	If that's enough for you, by golly, stick with it.
	If you want something real, come back on Sunday, y'all.
	Coming to you from the capital of the drone star state here in Austin, Texas.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I'm John C. Dvorak, I'm going to go watch celebrity news.
	Did you say Northern Silicon Valley?
	Northern Silicon Valley.
	We'll talk again on Sunday, everybody, right here on No Agenda.
	Bye now.
	Week anniversary of the attack on Benghazi and now we have a timeline from the CIA. Your thoughts about both that timeline and the timeliness of it.
	Well, I've looked over the timeline, Lou, and of course it leaves certain things out.
	For example, we had resources in theater which were not utilized.
	One that we've utilized in the past is having a jet aircraft fly over, which could have flown over the consulate in full afterburner.
	It would have scattered the crowd.
	It would have bought us valuable time.
	And perhaps maybe save some lives.
	The second resource we had in theater was at Sigonella.
	It was a 130-man Marine Force Recon Unit that was fully equipped and ready to go.
	And I'm told that General Hamm never received any orders to execute.
	Admiral, let me explain.
	Force Recon is a special operations group, elite warriors in the Marine Corps, and they were in Italy, and within two hours dispatch time, would you say?
	Approximately within two hours.
	We could have had a jet aircraft over within an hour.
	And the idea that this timeline was released, General, I don't know that anyone other than the administration to this point has blamed the CIA for any part of this.
	It's been a question and an issue of the decisions not to seek military support, a question of being told to stand down, as our Catherine Herridge and Jennifer Griffin have reported here, and Brett Baer.
	This is a peculiar response on the part of the CIA. Well, it is at that, and it's also peculiar why we never have tried to secure our consulate.
	That could have been done immediately, and much information could have been protected, possibly even more lives saved.
	What's questionable is CIA's role and the Director of Naval Intelligence role in the bogus cover-up story of that this was a reaction to a Spontaneous mob in a reaction to a video which nobody had seen.
	Avril, as we listen to the White House tell the American people that this was about basically a 14-minute video that upset some people in the region that had run on YouTube, when they knew absolutely that that was patently false,
	and they talked about the fog of war as the reason for not making decisions, but they were so confident that they could say and get away with saying That it was about a video when they knew it was a terrorist attack.
	How can it be that someone in the military, the CIA, the national security team doesn't step up and say, wait a minute, we can't have this kind of nonsense going on as the President of the United States himself addresses the American people.
	Well, Lou, unfortunately, from my perspective, the office of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has become politicized because of the structure of Goldwater-Nichols.
	It was never the intention of Goldwater-Nichols to politicize the office of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
	And political correctness has infected, unfortunately, all the major levels of our military leadership.
	But there's another point here which is overlooked, and that is the CIA was tracking for months the commander of the Ansar al-Sharida terrorist group that carried out the attack on our consulate.
	The Altena-related organization in Benghazi.
	Correct.
	And I find it incomprehensible that they had no clue that this attack was going to occur, particularly when the consulate on 16 August put out a security message to the Department of State telling them about The out-of-control militias heavily armed roaming throughout eastern Libya.
	They cited 10 militias and al-Qaeda groups that they said they had no fear of retribution from the Libyan government because the Libyan government had lost all control In eastern Libya,
	the consulate had no confidence in the 17 February martyrs brigade who were assigned the responsibility for the consulate protection or the local police force.
	Half the time, the local police force wouldn't even show up.
	And, Admiral, as you know, in the previous month, in July, the British ambassador had been attacked, the Red Cross had been attacked, and the United States was the only Western power with presence in Benghazi, and precisely because of the deteriorating security environment, that is, they knew they would be attacked.
	Don't look over here.
	Nothing to see here.
	Ooh, look at that.
	It's all night long.
	But if you don't vote, I don't want to talk to you.
	And if you vote for one of these numbskull third- or fourth-party candidates like Gary Johnson or Jill Stein and say, oh, I was so surprised at what happened.
	No, you shouldn't be, because idiots like you voted for third- and fourth-party candidates, and they don't know how this system works.
	You have two choices.
	Chris Matthews.
	Shut up, slave!
	That President Barack Obama has won Minnesota.
