	There is nothing I love more than you topping me.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	That's Thursday, November 15, 2012.
	Time for Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 461.
	This is no agenda.
	With a firm grasp on the dog that's being wagged here in the capital of the drone star state, Austin, Tate House.
	Good morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm struggling with this microphone, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's crackpot and buzzkill.
	Yeah, I thought, wow, we've got a noisy connection, but that's just you moving the mic around, huh?
	Well, the mic is flopping around.
	It's flopping around, and then if I let go of it, it's on a boom.
	It flies toward my head at high speeds.
	Oh, it's been rigged.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	I don't know what happened.
	I have a really, I have a Roda boom, actually.
	Roda?
	You know, are you familiar with Roda?
	Yeah, yeah, Roda.
	Rodi.
	Or Roda.
	Whatever their higher order to pronounce it.
	They're a mic company.
	Roda.
	Well, they actually, I think they make mixers, too.
	That's the one that's like a light thing.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's basically a lamp that they doubled the price.
	They took off the lamp part.
	Right, they took off the lamp.
	It got ripped off.
	I love this thing, though, because it's compact.
	And when I do the show on the road, I can just fold the whole thing up and I put it in the show suitcase.
	Well, you saw what I do when I'm on the road.
	I take the mic and I shove it into a briefcase kind of thing.
	Right.
	And then I just kind of push it around until it's kind of pointed.
	Right.
	But what do you use for...
	What holds your mic when you're on the road?
	That's what I said.
	I've got like one of those bags, that computer case.
	It's kind of a leather computer case.
	I unzip part of the top, shove the mic in the hole...
	So it's like stable.
	That's high tech.
	I've taken pictures of this rig.
	See, I, on the other hand, I have left indelible circle marks on desks in hotel rooms.
	Yeah, you go out and ruin furniture with your thing.
	Around the world.
	People are like, what is this circle on the desk?
	Where did that come from?
	That's really strange.
	Yes, you're clamping it down.
	Hey, in the morning to you, John C. Dvorak.
	Oh, well, in the morning to you, Adam Curry, and in the morning to all ships at sea, boots on the ground, subs in the water, feet in the air, and also all our No Agenda Knights who keep careful tabs on what we do on a very consistent basis.
	And not just careful tabs, but really help us keep the show on the road as well, which we highly appreciate, and...
	And in the morning to all of the human resources in our chat room, NoAgendaStream.com, NoAgendaChat.net, who are always a source of irritation and love to have them there.
	But they're also very handy.
	They do keep tabs on the live show, as long as the No Agenda Nazis work on the ones that are irritating and everything's good.
	I'm glad we made that change, John.
	I'm glad we just let them all go and shoot each other in the chat room.
	I'm sorry?
	What did we do?
	Well, no.
	When we decided it was okay for people to be Nazis and kick people out.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, that's the way to do it.
	And, John, big news.
	It's called moderation.
	It's called moderation and moderation.
	Big news.
	I am happy to report we were right once again.
	Once again.
	Well, this is getting old.
	It is, but this was a very important one because how long have I been saying that iOS 6, the operating system that comes with the iPhone and the 5 and you can load on your old iPhone and on the iPads, that it is broken and it is costing us money and the end users money.
	You've said this since the first day they rolled this out, and it wasn't a prediction.
	No.
	It was an observation of fact.
	Well, it was a fact, and how long, but I've been bitching and moaning about it.
	Yeah, you have been.
	You've been bitching and moaning more than anyone.
	And nobody else, everyone's like, I don't know.
	Oh, it's a false data switch.
	I sent emails to Apple.
	I sent emails to everyone I knew at Apple.
	They're like, oh, we'll see if we have a tech note on this.
	So finally, and I have to give huge props to the guys over at PRX, the public radio exchange, who build apps for a lot of the national treasure programs, such as This American Life.
	Well, of course, what we had already seen immediately is being a small little outfit here with a couple of guys and donated labor and hardware and bandwidth from our merry crew.
	I guess This American Life got their bandwidth bill.
	Yeah.
	And went, holy crap, something's got to be wrong.
	Oh, so that's what it took.
	That's what it took, exactly.
	But then the PRX guys had been hearing me bitch about it, so they actually had to go under the hood, because they're Apple developers, so they were able to do all this stuff in the SDK, and they published lists, and now every tech publication is going, oh boy, it looks like there's a big bug in iOS 6!
	You guys are all just huge douchebags!
	Douchebags!
	Douchebags, I tell you.
	You're copycat, no work doing douchebags.
	Sorry, tech company butt-licking douchebags.
	You don't stand up for the little guy.
	You're all lame.
	Twit Network, I'm looking at you too.
	CNET, all of you guys.
	NextWeb, PandoDaily.
	You don't do any reporting.
	We do reporting right here on this show.
	Well, we were the first to notice this anomaly, and it was obvious it wasn't making any sense.
	Right.
	But I think it hurt us severely.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, a lot of people could.
	What do you mean?
	All they were doing was complaining bitterly and emailing on the Twitter.
	And they were emailing on the Twitter to you, which was the best part.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And I kept saying, you know, what are you talking to me for?
	I'm not a part of this part of it.
	I don't produce this show.
	And besides that, you were the one that picked up on it early and started complaining, and they should have been complaining.
	I don't know, because what good does it do?
	You already knew it was a problem.
	Yeah.
	But, well, I'm glad some...
	Well, of course...
	I knew it was going to resolve itself eventually.
	Well, no, the thing is, it hasn't...
	Now sales will skyrocket.
	No, but it hasn't been solved yet.
	This is the problem, so now everyone knows it.
	What?
	No, of course.
	You think Apple's going to go, oh yeah, that's wrong.
	We're going to go fix it.
	No.
	They haven't acknowledged anything.
	They're returning no phone calls.
	It has not been fixed in 6.0.1.
	It's still broken, of course.
	Of course it's still...
	It's not going to...
	It'll be like version 6.2 somewhere down the line.
	Meanwhile, people are losing...
	People in Europe and Australia and countries where you don't have...
	Where bandwidth is expensive...
	These people are getting huge bandwidth bills, and the content creators, the little dudes like us, are getting shoved for all this.
	So, maybe it's a scheme.
	Yeah, this is actually what Void Zero, our guy, because he saw all this anomaly, and he said, he actually sent me this whole email with a, I'm like, dude, you're more crackpot than I am.
	His idea, he even had it better.
	He said, he thought that perhaps it was even, and when you think about this, it's possible.
	That the cell phone companies have rigged it so that they can actually report higher bandwidth without it actually being used.
	And when you think about it, there's no way for you to check how much bandwidth you really used.
	Yeah, there's some mid-level tracking applications you can put in, but really, you can't really know exactly how much you used.
	And I wouldn't put it past these a-holes.
	I wouldn't put it past them, and it's one good way to get, you know, I just picked up, because I got a new carrier.
	I got T-Mobile, because they have a, for people out there looking for a cheap way to go, and you want to do pay-as-you-go, non-contract, T-Mobile's got the, right now, I think has the best deal.
	You get one of their SIM cards for a buck, And then when you install the SIM card on whatever phone you've got, you can then pick from a bunch of plans.
	And they got this one plan, which is perfect for me, which is $30 a month, period.
	Unlimited text.
	Unlimited internet.
	Web.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	Unlimited?
	Or do they knock you down a notch after a certain amount of data?
	They knock you down a notch.
	After five gigabytes, they give you five gigabytes at 4G. And then after that, it's all 3G. How many Green Day albums can you download?
	Wait, stop.
	I can't get 4G here anyway.
	Really?
	That's lame.
	No, of course not.
	Bay Area.
	And then you get 100 minutes of voice.
	Now, I don't talk on a cell phone that much.
	I don't talk on a cell phone either, no.
	So for $30 a month, this is a pretty good deal.
	It's web only.
	You can't go into the stores and get this.
	You can only order it online.
	I like that.
	I don't understand why they still have that commercial running for T-Mobile.
	Have you seen the one with the hot chick on the motorcycle and she's counting?
	No, that's Sprint.
	No, that's not Sprint.
	Well, see, how effective is it?
	Wait, no, it's Verizon.
	Isn't it Verizon?
	She's the hot chick, and she jumps on a bike, and she goes zooming around, and everything turns pink.
	How ineffective is this advertising?
	No.
	I think you're right, it's Verizon.
	I think you're right.
	It's Verizon.
	She's cash bags, by the way.
	But she's counting, and here's, well, case in point.
	She's driving along, and she says, one, two, Kalamazoo, three, four, Jersey Shore.
	Hold on a second.
	Jersey Shore has been washed away.
	You might want to change your commercial.
	It's very annoying each time I hear it.
	Like you care.
	Well, yeah, I'm from Jersey.
	Use the DVR and skip the commercial.
	They put a bad notation on my credit report, Verizon.
	I've never had a Verizon phone in my life.
	And now I have, like, all this credit crap I gotta fix.
	Not that I... What?
	Yeah.
	They claim that Adam Curry owes them $560.
	And, you know, I wanted to see if I could get a loan to buy Ms.
	Mickey a car.
	And so I went to the bank, and they went, uh, no...
	I said, why not?
	Well, first of all, you're not credible because you have no loans.
	I said, yeah, okay.
	Or what do they call it?
	No, they call it finance lines.
	Not credit lines, but they had another really interesting name for it.
	I can't remember what the name was.
	And then, you know, you've got a problem on your credit report.
	I'm like, what is that?
	And it was something from the Dish Network, which of course, you know, when was the last time I had Dish Network?
	It was three years ago.
	So God knows what that is.
	Which, you know, I sent them the equipment back and everything, so I don't know what's going on with that.
	And then this thing from Verizon.
	And so then, you know, now this is where the scam comes into play, because now you've got to sign up to one of these $15 a month credit bureaus.
	Well, you have to buy another car with cash.
	Whatever the case is, rebuke the thing.
	I mean, there's some way around this.
	So I have to go and repair my credit, which I've never had to deal with because I don't participate in the system.
	Well, welcome to the real world, and here's what's going to happen.
	You're going to be on the phone for hours and hours.
	If you value your time at some normal rate, it's going to cost you thousands of dollars in your time.
	To deal with this.
	Get a speakerphone and do other work while you're on hold.
	Yeah, well, I mean, the thing is, I'm afraid of the rover because, you know, I can wait a couple months and save up and then, you know, and then buy it all cash out right, but I'm afraid that something's going to happen with the rover and then it's, you know, it's going to be like thousands of dollars just to keep the thing on the road again.
	This thing is falling apart.
	I can feel it.
	It's not good.
	Anyway, that's my problem.
	Don't y'all worry about me.
	I mean, imagine.
	I could be director of the CIA. Now we're talking problems.
	Well, definitely.
	I figured this one out, by the way.
	Have you figured it all out?
	Well, to be honest about it, I find there's too many possibilities to make a decision.
	I'm just collecting as much information as I can.
	I've been very fortunate.
	Well, first of all, there's one theory that came in that I liked very, very much, and I wound up watching it last night just to see if this could be anything close to it.
	It looked like we might have a movie PR moment, but a retroactive one.
	Well, listen, bear with me.
	How can you say yeah if you don't even know what I'm going to say?
	Well, because you already gave it away that it's retroactive, and that's just not the way they do it.
	Well, that could depend.
	Have you ever seen the movie Seven Days in May?
	No, not really.
	Well, maybe.
	I don't know.
	Is it an old movie?
	Yes, it's an old movie.
	Yeah, I saw that movie.
	Burke Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.
	Right, right, right.
	It's a good movie.
	It's a great movie.
	It's on YouTube.
	In black and white, I think.
	Yeah, black and white.
	The entire thing's on YouTube.
	I watched it last night, just to make sure.
	It's a political thriller, and it is so analogous, except for one minor little part.
	It doesn't end the same.
	So analogous to what's happening, where...
	There's a military coup with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and because of the disarmament between the Americans and the Russians, they want to kick the president out, which of course, what are you doing?
	I'm moving the mic around, sorry.
	It's loud.
	It's like the neighbors are moving their couch.
	Let me ask you, can you hear this?
	Yes, of course I can hear that.
	I thought the mic was more isolated.
	I'm on an isolation.
	Can you hear this, John?
	Can you hear that?
	Huh?
	Okay, just keep talking.
	It's in good shape now.
	Okay.
	Well, I want you to pay attention to what I'm saying, too.
	Okay.
	So this movie is where it's a disarmament and the military-industrial complex doesn't like it.
	Not far from, you know, very analogous to what we're doing now.
	We're talking about this new START treaty, etc.
	So they want to have a coup with something called EcomCon, which is the electronic communications control, and they're going to take over radio, television, and telephone, and there's going to be a coup, and they're going to get rid of the president.
	They've already taken over the telephone, and they've taken over the radio, and they've taken over everything but our podcast.
	So far, so good, right?
	I'm like, okay, this is making sense.
	We're next.
	And then, but here's the beauty of it.
	Then they obtain...
	So the evil guy who's leading this coup of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this general, he has an affair with some woman, and he sends her love letters.
	And these love letters are going to be used as the way to bring him down by exposing him as an adulterer.
	So I'm like, okay, this is really good.
	Here's your entire script.
	Do I just wait until you're done moving whatever you're moving?
	Sorry?
	Were you moving again?
	No, that's the train.
	The train going by at very slow speeds with a lot of engines pulling a bunch of boxcars.
	Right now where I'm seated, the microphone is pointed right at the window, so anything down the hill there.
	Well, you know, you might consider it being an audio show soundproofing something.
	This happens.
	The train goes by so rarely.
	Yeah, well, it happens to happen right during my talk.
	Well, I can't say, I can't account for its great timing.
	Okay.
	Anyway, so I have to sit through the whole movie to find out at the end they wind up busting him another way and they never actually use the love letter.
	So I'm like, ah!
	Oh, there goes that whole theory.
	I'm like, that would have been perfect.
	What?
	They threw a plot point in there and they never executed it?
	No, they didn't.
	The president actually had the letters in his hand.
	He was ready to do it, but then he's like, no, I can do this, you know, like the manly way.
	The old-fashioned way.
	The old-fashioned way.
	Exactly.
	Exactly!
	I don't have to stoop to their level.
	I'm like, well, you know, I can see the Obama administration stooping to that level.
	But, of course, that is not what is going on here.
	That is not what is happening.
	Wait a minute.
	So you brought us around to this story, and now it's like this was your theory, but that's not your theory?
	No.
	No, I said...
	You watched the movie and you decided to throw it into the show because you wasted all the time on this movie.
	No, I have a theory.
	I have the theory.
	I have the theory.
	But I need to set you up a little bit.
	I need to get you groovy, feeling like movie stuff, so you can feel it.
	Alright, so the way I think I found out about what is really happening here is you have to understand some other things that are happening in the world right now.
	And the main thing is the brand new Syrian Opposition Coalition, which was formed in Doha.
	I bet you didn't even know this was going on.
	I know what's going on.
	The French just recognized him.
	Well, more importantly, Turkey just recognized him.
	So here is the...
	And by the way, when we say that we know what's going on, that doesn't mean that the rest of the world knows what's going on, because why put that on the news?
	That would take away from the penis story, which is too funny.
	So here is Toner.
	They brought in the other guy at the Secretary of State to do the press conference because, of course, Newland is not good enough.
	They're walking all over her.
	Yeah, no, she's actually the B-list.
	Yeah, she's B-list.
	They bring in Toner.
	And she deals with the one guy, the Reuters guy.
	Yeah, Matt.
	Matt.
	So now we have some really good questions.
	Brian is piping up in the background, asking about, you know, so what is this new opposition coalition, and what are we doing, and how about the money?
	You say this is a very positive step, but you're calling them a legitimate representative, which is what you called the Syrian National Council a year ago.
	And I guess at some point you secretly delegitimized them because now they no longer were, but now this one is what they were a year ago.
	And now you're talking about technical committees for aid that you're already giving them, over $100 million, I think, and they don't... $100 million.
	Remember when it was like $10 or $11 or maybe $12?
	We got nothing but money to give away.
	We didn't even raise $100 million for victims of Superstorm Sandy.
	Okay?
	And by the way, it's not $100.
	The guy is such an idiot, Toner, he's going to correct him.
	You seem to be asking for it.
	First off, it's $160 million.
	What do you know, man?
	It's $160 million.
	We're wasting more money than you think we are.
	Humanitarian assistance.
	And, you know, as we have said previously, some of that's going through international aid organizations.
	International aid organizations.
	Yeah, that we control, NGOs.
	Well, yeah, but of course, you know, what does that really mean?
	We know what, I mean, there's only one thing that is happening with this money.
	But I think we all recognize that it needs to be used more effectively, needs to be channeled more effectively.
	You talk about that.
	Channeled!
	They're not talking about that.
	Well, indeed they are.
	It's a serial-led process.
	They're talking about...
	They are talking about this.
	They're talking about weapons, and they're talking about a lot of things that you're not talking about.
	Well, again...
	It's like two kids.
	Right.
	So obviously what's going on here is we are sending money through international organizations to get them weapons.
	The whole idea is to get them weapons.
	So we have this new council.
	And this new council includes the old Syrian National Council, but it includes another 40 new dudes.
	Now, one of the dudes who is...
	And you have to understand that there's clans and families in the Middle East, and we will never fully understand how it works as Westerners.
	But if you have a name, that name is an important name, and anyone else with that name is going to be related to your tribe or to your clan.
	So as a part of this new Coalition for Democratic Syria, there's a puppet in there called Mohammed Kawam, K-H-A-W-A-M, where we heard this name before.
	Exactly.
	I've heard it.
	I've heard it.
	Natalie Kawam.
	That is the Kelly sisters, the twins.
	Their maiden name is Kawam.
	So, of course, we don't hear that name too often.
	It's only about Jill Kelly and Kelly this and Kelly that.
	But both their names are actually Kawam.
	Right.
	You should remind people who Jill Kelly is.
	Why don't you remind everybody who Jill Kelly is?
	She is the one that Petraeus was apparently having meetings with, and so was Alan, about we don't know what.
	And she had a base pass, and she was showing up all the time at every event, and she looks like a spy more than anything else.
	And then she's the one that, what's her name, Broad...
	Yeah, Paula Broadwell.
	Paula Broadwell wrote her some nasty emails which she passed off to the so-called shirtless FBI guy who's never been named.
	So stick with me.
	Stick with me because I'm going to bring it all together.
	So Natalie Kawam was married to Grayson Wolfe.
	Now, Grace and...
	So, first of all, these sisters are Lebanese.
	They're from the Kawam family.
	So, you know, Lebanese...
	Let me see, where's Lebanon?
	Gee, it's right above Syria.
	So, it's all kind of in the general area.
	Well, actually, Lebanon essentially is Syria.
	Okay, thank you.
	But they...
	She was married to Grace and Wolf, founding partner of Acadian Ventures.
	And if you look at his history, he was Iraqi reconstruction special assistant to chief operating officer of the Export-Import Bank of America, appointed by Bush.
	I mean, this guy is all over the Middle East involved in money running, etc., and military-industrial complex, and, of course, economic hitmen for the United States.
	So, these two sisters, here's what I think is going on.
	The real victim here, believe it or not, is Paula Broadwell.
	She's insane.
	She's cuckoo.
	She's totally a fan of Petraeus.
	Maybe she blew him.
	I don't know.
	If anything, there was no big romantic affair going on.
	But what have we learned?
	We've learned that Both Petraeus and General Allen were exchanging emails with the Kellys, and the way they were doing it, and we just talked about this on a previous show, they were doing it the way the terrorists do it, which was unveiled as like some huge thing no one knew about.
	When terrorists use Gmail...
	They don't send an email to each other.
	It's like, you know, I'm terrorist A, you're terrorist B. I'm going to write an email, save it in my drafts folder, then you log into the same Gmail account, and you open it up, you read it, and then you reply to me in draft.
	Well, I've not heard that Alan was using that trick.
	Yes, yes.
	Well, I have the reporting from it.
	I have the reporting.
	Okay, get it.
	Okay.
	I have the report.
	It's all in the show notes.
	So here's what I think was going on.
	We have not seen any of the language.
	20,000 to 30,000 different pages of communication between her, this middle-aged, married, two children having frumpy housefrau.
	Are you kidding me?
	These guys, they can get the MKUltra presidential model.
	They can get whatever they want.
	They're not going after these women.
	No.
	Here's what happened.
	We have the Kelly sisters, our go-betweens, to get the weapons from Libya, which is what is going on the entire time, the heavy weaponry, up into Syria.
	And they are the go-betweens between the CIA, who move the crap all the time, it's what they do, and the military.
	So they are communicating, and they use a little bit of code, like, I love you, big man.
	Gee, you've got big guns.
	You know, whatever the code is that they're using.
	Big guns.
	And then what happens is...
	Yes, I've got a lot of big guns.
	I have a large muzzle to show you.
	Let me show you my ammo.
	I'm not shooting blanks at you, baby.
	This is exactly the code that they were using.
	And it's all about moving the guns, the big heavy weaponry now confirmed, which is now in Syria.
	What happens is Broadwell finds out about it because she's a fangirl.
	She's like totally...
	She's so in love with Petraeus, somehow she finds out about it, and the thing is, she then says, she doesn't know quite what's going on, because she's reading about the big gun in your unit, and I'm not shooting blanks, and she's like, hey, bitches, stay away from my guy.
	You've got to stay away from Petraeus because you don't want to taint him or whatever it is.
	And then the Kelly sisters see the problem, and they get whoever their buddy is, the shirtless FBI guy, by the way, now we know his name.
	What a creep that guy is.
	And that's when the whole thing starts off.
	And, of course, the FBI hate the CIA.
	And here we've got Mueller appointed by Bush who can't wait to screw these guys over and have something over them.
	He doesn't want to blow up the whole weapons thing, but he does want to have something over them.
	And so in order to cover everything up, we have to...
	Petraeus is really being patriotic in this case, he thinks.
	He's saying, you know what?
	Screw it.
	I'll just say that, you know, we use the code.
	I was having an affair, but I was having it with Broadwell.
	That completely makes her, you know, discredits her forever.
	She can never say anything.
	No one will ever believe what she says.
	And I think...
	Right, they also pulled her security clearance.
	Well, even worse than that.
	She went jogging.
	This was really scary.
	She went jogging and she lost her driver's license.
	But she lost her driver's license in Rock Creek Park.
	Now Rock Creek Park, if you look at Rock Creek Park, this is where the intern Chandra Levy was found dead.
	This is where JFK's mistress was dumped dead.
	Everyone who gets killed in D.C. gets killed in this park.
	So I think her driver's license showing up there was a message.
	Like, you better shut up, or you are next.
	I think she's going to wind up suicided.
	Well, I think Petraeus could end up that way, too.
	It could happen with both.
	And let me just play a little bit of our buddy Judge Napolitano about the FBI-CIA war, which, of course, we've talked about for years on this program.
	It's troubling because there are laws that the FBI has to follow, and General Petraeus...
	Just because he's an adulterer doesn't lose his constitutional rights.
	And he has the right to be protected from an unwarranted, unjustified investigation by the FBI or anyone.
	A lot of elephants in this room.
	One of them is that the FBI and the CIA don't exactly work and play well together.
	No, they have been bitter rivals since the CIA was first created in 1947.
	Think about it.
	They are the two most potent forces in the government outside of the military.
	They both possess lethal weaponry.
	They both frequently operate outside the law.
	Until 2001, the FBI was kept out of foreign issues and the CIA was kept out of domestic issues.
	President George W. Bush changed that when he compelled them, didn't authorize them, but compelled them to operate in each other's turf.
	We do not know if this is anything more than the FBI poking its elbow into the ribs of its longtime rival, the CIA. Well, it definitely is part of that.
	And as a reminder, Paula Broadwell is counterintelligence, okay?
	This is what she is supposed to do.
	Now, a lot of these people really are insane.
	You look at her, this is one of these women that I'd say a lot of men just can't resist.
	You know, she's got a great body.
	You know she's just going to rip you to shreds in the sack.
	And I'm sure that Petraeus at one point...
	Well, John, come on.
	I mean, you and I aren't like that, but you know what I mean, right?
	You look at her, he's like, she's insane.
	Well, she wanted the fitness.
	She's like a fit for her age.
	She's 40, but she probably can do more than most women ever.
	While standing on her head.
	I'm telling you, she can crack your head between her thighs.
	You can just see, this is like an amazing specimen that a lot of dudes...
	Power-hungry, crazy guys, just can't get past.
	But she was a fangirl.
	But she was counterintelligence, and I truly believe she didn't understand that the code, the language of the emails, that it really was code.
	By your thesis, which I think is a decent one, it's better than anything I've heard on the mainstream media, or anybody else who listens to this show has to admit that.
	It would make sense that she would be kept out of some of the loops, because she was a loose cannon anyway.
	She's the one who dropped...
	I have the controversial Denver speech.
	This is the thing she did two or three months ago, which I think also has something to do with the targeting of everybody.
	And she's like blowing cover left and right, talking in public about secret...
	The CIA stuff.
	I believe this speech is why they pulled her, you know, they say they found secret documents on her computer.
	No.
	If you listen to this speech, where she talks about the secret prison and all the rest of it, which is all denied, It's obvious that she was privy to some real stuff.
	I mean, if she had been working for the Russians in an older era, Petraeus obviously also needed to go because of just this speech.
	You can play this.
	And the greater challenge is that it's political hunting season, and so this whole thing has been turned into a very political sort of arena, if you will.
	But the facts that came out today were that the ground forces there at the CIA annex, which is different from the consulate, were requesting reinforcements.
	They were requesting the, it's called the Sinks in Extremis Force.
	A group of Delta Force operators are very, very, most talented guys we have in the military.
	They could have come and reinforced the consulate and the CIA annex that were under attack.
	Now, I don't know if a lot of you have heard this, but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner.
	And they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back.
	So it's still being vetted.
	The challenging thing for General Petra, in his new position, he's not allowed to communicate with the press.
	So he's known all of this.
	They had correspondence with the CIA station chief in Libya.
	Within 24 hours, they kind of knew what was happening.
	But if you remember at the time, the Muslim video, the Mohammed video that came out, the demonstrations that were going on in Cairo, there were demonstrations in 22 other countries around the world, tens of thousands of people.
	And our government was very concerned that this was going to become a nightmare for us.
	So you can understand if you put yourself in...
	His shoes or Secretary Clinton's shoes or the President's shoes that we thought it was tied somehow to the demonstrations in Cairo.
	This is, without a doubt, what was this thing in Denver?
	What the heck was she speaking at?
	Where do people get to speak so freely?
	It was some either college or some, like a minor think tank or something, but it was recorded.
	So President Obama comes out yet, and this is, so I went back and I got some more kind of interesting evidence.
	This is real no agenda type research stuff, which I think you'll like.
	So the president does a press, you know, a bullcrap press conference.
	He can't even pronounce the names of the people that's on his piece of paper.
	You know, it's like Jim Maciekowski.
	You know, it's like the questions are known.
	The order of the questions are known.
	It's a big setup.
	And then one guy, if you saw that, didn't even make a clip of it, one guy yelled out something at the end, some question, and the president says, well, that would have been a great question if you hadn't yelled it out without taking your turn, slave.
	So the whole thing is bogated.
	Exactly.
	It's hilarious.
	The whole thing is bogative.
	However, the known question, of course, about Ambassador Rice coming up for possibly taking Hillary's spot as Secretary of State and that McCain and who's the other douche bucket, that they say, oh, we're going to block it, which, by the way, we know is a total farce because the legislation has already been signed.
	The president doesn't need Hillary Senatorial or congressional approval anymore.
	No one's talking about that, but we've seen the legislation that he signed.
	But then he, like some kind of knight in shining armor, he's like, don't you dare pick on Susan Rice!
	You gotta come to me!
	I was like, wow!
	Okay, so let's just listen to a little bit of that.
	Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham both said today that they want to have Watergate-style hearings on the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, and said that if you nominate Susan Rice to be Secretary of State, they will do everything in their power to block her nomination.
	As Senator Graham said, he simply doesn't trust Ambassador Rice after what she said about Benghazi.
	I'd like your reaction to that, and would those threats deter you from making a nomination like that?
	Well, first of all, I'm not going to comment at this point on various nominations that I'll put forward to fill out my cabinet for the second term.
	Those are things that are still being discussed.
	But let me say specifically about Susan Rice.
	She has done exemplary work.
	She has represented the United States and our interests in the United Nations with skill and professionalism and toughness and grace.
	Now, as I've said before, she made an appearance at the request of the White House, in which she...
	By the way, notice he has a really noisy mic.
	Did you notice that during this press conference?
	Yeah.
	It's kind of like your mic right now, but let me just get to the point.
	My mic's as noisy as his?
	Yeah, you've got a noisy mic today.
	If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me.
	Shut up, slave!
	Yeah, you want to pick on somebody your own size!
	Exactly.
	So I have decided, I think I should go back...
	And watch that interview again that she gave.
	And I have to say, you know, she used all the right words, you know, to the best of our knowledge, ability, disclaimer, I'm not a lawyer, etc.
	Well, she is a lawyer.
	You know, we think that it might be something like this.
	And then, of course, once she set that precedent, then throughout the seven minutes that she did on most of the news shows, it was very...
	Are you eating something?
	I am.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	It wouldn't be so bad, but you're smacking your lips.
	I'll take it out.
	Okay.
	Throughout the seven minutes that she's on the program, she then continues to talk about, you know, the Muslim video.
	There's a tell, and not just one, but two tells here in what she said.
	You know, what we always say is, Because words do matter.
	Now, listen to the tell and what she's actually saying.
	But our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that in fact what this began as was a spontaneous, not a premeditated response to what had transpired in Cairo.
	In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated.
	We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people, came to the embassy, or to the consulate, rather, to replicate this sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo.
	And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons, weapons that, as you know, in the wake of the revolution in Libya are quite common and accessible.
	And it then evolved from there.
	We'll wait to see.
	So was she...
	She cannot help herself but talk about weapons!
	Weapons!
	You know, there's lots of weapons there.
	I mean, there's no reason for her to say this.
	There's no reason at all for her to, as you know, in the wake of Libya, there's lots of weapons around.
	Have you noticed all the weapons down there, Tom?
	Lots of weapons.
	I think, I see this as a big tell on her part.
	Now, part two.
	It worked with the government in Egypt.
	President Obama picked up the phone and talked to President Morsi in Egypt, and as soon as he did that, the security provided to our personnel and our embassies dramatically increased.
	It took two days for President Morsi to say anything about it.
	President Morsi has been out repeatedly and said that he condemns this violence.
	He's called off, and his people have called off any further demonstrations and have made very clear Wait a minute.
	His people called off the demonstrations?
	That's what she said.
	That's a good catch.
	We didn't notice that before.
	Which to me means, the first call was, hey, Morsi, man, listen up, dude.
	You've got to get some demonstrations going.
	You need a little bit of cover for this thing we're doing in Libya.
	Okay, we do it.
	We take care of you.
	Right, okay, let's stop there because, again, we need to revisit our thesis.
	Of the kidnapping.
	Kidnapping, right.
	So, and this, what you just found there, which is that these demonstrations, which cropped up in 21 places, was apparently, listening to this and deconstructing it, was ordered.
	Yes.
	Which means that, yeah, this whole thing is, they had a...
	A number of articles came out from Broadwell's dad.
	Yeah, he's saying that this is something else and the truth will come out and he's angry.
	Yeah, he's angry.
	He's irked and he thinks the whole thing is there's a bigger story here, which of course is our story of a kidnapping gone bad.
	And that's interesting that she actually...
	She said he called it off.
	That's another confirmation of what we believe to be true.
	Not only that, it is confirmation that we are...
	Meanwhile, just know that your neighbors, your friends, your colleagues at work are all sitting in front of the television going...
	Boy, I wonder how she sat on top of him, man.
	That must have been, like, really cool.
	That's all they can think about.
	That's all.
	That's all.
	That is it in its entirety.
	It is so sad.
	So sad.
	It's a sad, sad situation.
	And it's getting more and more absurd.
	Name the song.
	Where did that come from?
	Sorry seems to be the hardest word.
	Elton John from the Blue Moves album.
	I don't know.
	At a certain point, he sings that.
	At a certain point, you go senile.
	It's happening now.
	Apparently, before you're 50...
	Before we continue, I think we have to thank a few of our executive producers.
	Before I go senile, let's thank our executive producers.
	You can go take a pill and I'll jack away.
	Some Haldol.
	So we got Sir Mark Dytham finally managed to find a way around.
	Oh, from Tokyo.
	Right.
	Our knight, along with Dame Astrid, who is coming.
	I think she's going to come in, too, but she came in after the midnight.
	Well, you know, they're separate entities, right?
	Yeah, they're not married.
	She is her own man.
	They're partners in an architectural firm, which is considered one of the greatest in the world.
	And if only, if only we could ever...
	If we had some money, we'd have them build a couple of houses for us.
	Yeah, on the coast.
	Actually, they don't build a house, they design a house.
	They design it.
	But first they meet with you.
	I mean, good architects, they kind of say, well, this is the kind of place you'd like.
	And then they're artists.
	An architect is an artist.
	They are artists of a high, high degree.
	High degree.
	High degree.
	Yeah, it takes a lot of technical expertise.
	It's an unbelievable job.
	We need more friends like this because friends like this elevate your own status.
	Yeah, exactly.
	We have a lot of friends like this, but these are specifically weird.
	I'll never forget when we were in Los Angeles and they came to town.
	Little did I know they came to town because they built the Sony store.
	And they're like, you know, hey, we'd love to take you guys out to dinner.
	I remember, you know, we were like...
	On Sony's tab...
	No, I don't think it was on...
	Well, let's hope it was.
	I don't think it was on Sony's tab.
	It should have been.
	But I remember we were like, well, who are these guys?
	And then we went out and we were like, oh my God, they're so nice.
	Are they going to kill us?
	I think that was the question.
	You're paranoid because of your days in the disc jockey game.
	Yeah, really.
	I'm like, are they going to kill us?
	That was kind of the question.
	But no, turns out they are a couple of our biggest patrons.
	And Sir Mark, we appreciate it.
	Does he have a note to go with this?
	Yes.
	Okay, what does he say?
	Congratulations on an amazing five years.
	You not only make our days, but you also bring us karma when we need it the most.
	You're truly the best lifesavers in the universe.
	I can only say it's five more years, five more years, five more years wishing you all the best karma Japan can offer.
	Yeah, that's so cool, Sir Mark.
	Thank you very much.
	And he'll be our executive producer for show 461.
	Also, Daniel Mack came in from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
	Nuts?
	At 461.
	Ah, the exclusive 461 club member.
	Very, very nice.
	Please accept my donation for the excellent Prime Numbered Show 461 in the amount of 461.
	Did we forget this?
	I mean, we are such idiots.
	Well, when it comes to these, we don't pay attention to this.
	We do the show.
	Did you get the calendar that our producer sent us?
	The spreadsheet?
	The spreadsheet.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, with all the 333s, all the 33s.
	Did you put everything on there?
	They're lined up.
	We got them lined up like ducks in a row.
	Did you put them on your calendar?
	No.
	There's a couple.
	Well, I got the spreadsheet.
	I'll do it later.
	Okay.
	Good work.
	Anyway, Daniel says he's digging himself out of a squired, I mean, almost a night.
	And he has the following request, a lone wolf, two to the head, and poop police.
	I think I can do this.
	Detective Dookie.
	Detective Dookie.
	Poop Police.
	SPU Special Poopers Unit.
	Don't ask me to get the jobs, jobs, jobs.
	You want the poop police, I'm on the case.
	Yeah, that would make sense to me.
	I got it for you.
	Now we have $300 from Diego Medina.
	There's no note, but he has to go through a rigmarole to get us money.
	He is in Venezuela, which he calls Gitmo Nation Hugo Chavez.
	Venezuela?
	White beat around the bush.
	Venezuela nuts?
	Yeah, Vin is way nuts.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, he's in for 300.
	Wait a minute.
	Is this the same Diego?
	Because he's in green.
	That usually means he's a new donor.
	Are you sure this is the right deal?
	Yeah, it is in green, but he has been...
	I looked him up.
	We have a system.
	You can tell we have an amazing system here at the best podcasts in the universe.
	Yeah, we have.
	The guy comes up on the spreadsheet in green.
	Green, yes.
	J.C., Buzzkill Jr.
	will put him in green to let us know that he's a new donor.
	But some of these guys, they mail in checks or there's other ways of getting in.
	It doesn't show up on the PayPal account necessarily.
	All right.
	Anyway, BB Negril Hotel and Restaurant.
	Hey, Negril is in Jamaica, man?
	Oh, Sir Eric Hertha is in Jamaica?
	I think so.
	From the Bourbon Beach Hotel bar and restaurant.
	Yes, in Jamaica.
	No Agenda listeners can get one free night for each three paid nights at our hotel.
	Awesome.
	We also have an iPad wine list.
	John's favorite.
	You can opt for the wine in a brown bag or not.
	Negril.
	Negril, the Paris of Jamaica.
	I have been to Jamaica 15 times.
	I cannot wait to return, and I cannot wait to go to the Paris of Jamaica to the B&B... The Bourbon Beach Hotel.
	It's BBNagril.com.
	No, B-B-N-E-G-R-I-L. Isn't that what I said?
	I thought you had an A in there.
	No, B-B-N-E-G-R-I-L. BBNagril.com.
	Bourbon Beach Hotel.
	I think the name says it all.
	One free night with every three paid nights.
	iPad and wireless.
	That's 25% off of the price.
	That's a great deal.
	And it is the Paris of Jamaica.
	I've never even heard of Negril.
	Oh, Negril.
	Oh, well, I have.
	Oh, good for you.
	Michael Schumacher.
	Michael Schumacher.
	Rancho Cucamonga.
	23456.
	Is that not the Paris of California?
	Rancho Cucamonga.
	I think it is now.
	Yeah, sure.
	This blows my 69-69 month donation streak.
	Uh-oh, maybe the whole thing will end today.
	But what the heck, it completes my knighthood.
	You keep assassinating the media so we don't have to, and I'll continue to donate.
	Karma to my fellow kniggets.
	Knights.
	It's a Monty Python reference.
	And a douchebag, call out to all the boners.
	You know who you are.
	Really?
	You can't even do ten bucks a month?
	Come on.
	If we all did that, we wouldn't have to listen to Adam trying to swoon Mickey D and you would all be knights by now.
	I don't need a ring as I don't even wear my wedding ring, so I'll continue to donate.
	Maybe I'll get you.
	We'll get sent you one anyway.
	But you can hang it somewhere.
	Hang it on the wall.
	I'll get in the next knighthood perk when I hit 2,000.
	Thanks again for the best podcast in the universe, dudes.
	Yes, John, dudes.
	By the way, I volunteer to be the official brewer for the No Agenda show.
	Wait a minute.
	Now, I've got to tell you.
	Did he send you samples?
	I have not received a sample, no.
	But, you know, you've got to be careful because we have so many home brewers that if we just pick one as the official brewer, you know, we're going to have a brew war on our hands.
	No, no, we'll have a brew off.
	Ooh, I like that.
	There's no reason that we, the two of us, and J.C., who's a, Buzzkill Jr., is a complete beer nut, and with a good palate, we can determine who's going to be the brewer.
	Okay, all right.
	If anybody wants in the competition, he's volunteered already to send us a brew when nobody else has.
	Okay, well, I'm willing to, I'm all in for this.
	I think it's a good idea.
	You know who's actually a really good judge?
	Ms.
	Mickey.
	Because she does not like beer, and so when she likes a beer, then it's really good.
	Those types of people...
	Hey, hey, hey, hey.
	Those types of people, I know what you're saying.
	They always tend toward Belgian beer.
	All right.

	This slave got too high to read the whole No Agenda newsletter, but enough words jumped out at me to make sure...
	That I realize the significance of donate to the best podcast in the universe.
	Some hey, citizen, two to the head, yay, karma, would do me and mine some good.

	You want me to do the stone deal?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, we'll save it.
	Come on.
	I don't have it.
	I don't know.
	You'd be like...
	Unless somebody requests it.
	I'm not doing it when you request it.
	He's like, hey man, I got the newsletter.
	Hey man, I got the newsletter.
	Too high to read the whole newsletter, man.
	But enough words jumped out.
	No, no, no.
	You're missing the point.
	Don't read his note.
	Oh, I don't have the newsletter.
	You don't need to actually read the newsletter.
	You just gotta...
	It's acting.
	It's improv.
	Yeah, that's what it would be.
	Hold on.
	Give him his call-out.
	What does he want?
	Hey, citizen.
	Two to the head.
	All right.
	And little girl, yay.

	Many years ago, Adam was the hair envy of all my friends.
	As midlife set in, they got the band back together.
	Wow.
	When in Philly, look up Old School Rocks Philly on Facebook.
	Alright, I'll be sure to do that.
	Let me hit you with some karma.
	You've got karma.
	I am the hair envy!
	Yeah.
	You still got a good head of hair.
	Thank you.
	So do you, John.
	My hair is thin and unmanageable.
	It's not that thin.
	We looked at your hair.
	We thought your hair looked pretty good.
	You looked quite good.
	At least I'm not bald as a billiard like some of my friends.
	But you looked, actually, you looked quite good.
	We thought you looked healthy.
	Oh, yeah, that's called bronzer.
	Max Factor.
	Max Factor.
	Yeah, the MAC line, by the way, is what's the pros you use.
	Uh-huh.
	Okay.
	Oh, that's it?
	So that'll conclude our donation, or not our donation segment, but our segment of executive and associate executive producers.
	Great list.
	Great list.
	Yeah, great list.
	All winners.
	And we want to thank each and every one of them.
	I want to remind people that we have another show coming up on Sunday that needs support.
	So go to NoAgendaNation.com, NoAgendaShow.com, but more importantly, Dvorak.org slash NA and ChannelDvorak.com slash NA if you can't get to the other site, but it's running well.
	Yeah, and I would say that if you just listen, we had a good conversation about our value for value model on the previous episode.
	And if you listen to just what we've done so far in this, we haven't even hit an hour yet on the show.
	I think we've given you more value, more bang for your buck than you can get anywhere.
	And I know, I know you wasted time sitting there with your mouth open going like, looking at the news.
	Yeah.
	Looking at the sister in the purple, the sister in the yellow, then we've got the Paula chick with no sleeves.
	She's got no dress with sleeves.
	She likes to show off her guns.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	And all you're doing, most of our listeners are men probably, but you guys are all like...
	We've got about 30% female.
	Thank goodness.
	Really.
	Thank goodness.
	Thank goodness.
	Yes, so we do need your continued support because it's the only way we keep the program going.
	It's what keeps our rent paid so that we can continue to do this work for you.
	Thank you to Brad Connell for the album art on episode 360.
	And we appreciate all of the input we get from our artists.
	Go to noagendaartgenerator.com.
	You can see multiple submissions for each episode.
	There's no copyrights on these, so you can use them for all kinds of cool stuff.
	Stickers, newsletters, you know, print it out.
	Hang it in your office.
	And I wanted to give a little plug here for a new website.
	It's called DailyMorseCode.com.
	DailyMorseCode.com.
	And this is the daily podcast.
	And it has a podcast feed.
	It's in iTunes even.
	Of the No Agenda Ham repeater.
	Without all the white spaces.
	So it averages out to be like a 20 to 30 minute podcast.
	And you can pick up some...
	And it's all in Morse code?
	No.
	That'd be cool.
	I'd like to have somebody transcode our entire show into Morse code.
	That's a great idea.
	And send it out CW. I love that idea.
	I wonder if...
	I'm sure that there's a way to do that automatically.
	No.
	Where they just do voice recognition and then...
	No.
	It would be a disaster.
	I know that it's possible.
	If you can get the words...
	The transcribed show, maybe you could do it.
	Yeah, if you did voice recognition, then you fixed it.
	And then you...
	I know after you get it in text, you can turn it into Morse code.
	Right, of course.
	And then turn the whole show into Morse code.
	I wonder how long it would take.
	We can't even...
	We're going to get it transcribed.
	To deliver the show in Morse code.
	It would be three or four hours of code, I believe.
	Most people can't do much more than 15 to 20 words a minute, even transcribing.
	Anyway, I'm taking my general test on the Saturday, God willing.
	Really?
	Yeah, I'm going to blast.
	I'll be on the HS, baby.
	10 meters, baby.
	You know, JT65, PSK31, uh-huh, RTTY, uh-huh, baby.
	Hang my dipole.
	Just throwing out a bunch of acronyms.
	Yeah, I know exactly what I'm talking about.
	You, of course, you know what you need to talk about.
	It is our formula.
	Go forth and propagate it.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	New world order.
	Shelf slays.
	He shit is under.
	DailyMorseCode.com Actually, it's quite fun.
	We're on 900 MHz in Indianapolis.
	I've got people checking in all the time.
	Actually, we should talk about this right now.
	The so-called gas explosion.
	Which, of course, even on email, everyone's ridiculing me, because I said it's a drone strike.
	They still don't actually know what it is, and this is no typical gas explosion if you listen to this local report of what is taking place.
	Better idea of where investigators are focusing their efforts as they search for answers on what caused a Southside explosion that killed two people.
	Sunrise reporter Chris Kirshner is live on the Southside this morning where that investigation is headed today.
	Good morning, Chris.
	Good morning to you, Julia.
	I'm actually at Smot Golf Course.
	Why am I here?
	Because the clubhouse here is now the new command center for that investigation.
	This is where what's called a new Joint Information and Operations Center is now located to help residents and those trying to help them.
	Police officers are stationed here all night long.
	This has the investigation It's slowly, very slowly, narrowing its focus.
	The NTSB, which spent a day at...
	NTSB! I'm sorry, the National Transportation Safety Board, the guys who investigate train wrecks and plane crashes, they're now in, okay, along with the Department of Homeland Security.
	The explosion site determined it was not caused by the main gas line.
	So now the focus, according to state and local investigators...
	It was a drone?
	...is on the homes itself at the center of the investigation.
	And the appliances inside those homes, Citizens Energy Group maintains they found nothing out of the ordinary with regards to usage.
	That's the gas company, nothing out of the ordinary.
	Gas at homes under investigation.
	But the belief is that natural gas was involved only four days in.
	Damn that involvement of natural gas.
	The case is still very new, and the city's new public safety director cautions there is still much work to be done.
	Okay, so...
	So let me ask you a question.
	Okay.
	If you're going to go on with this thesis, which probably should be in the second half of the show at this point...
	I got something better for that.
	If you're going to go on with this thesis, give me a motive.
	Well, before I get...
	So I think I already gave you a motive that there's a lot of military installations and buildings around this exact area.
	So I think it is possible that this was a drone strike gone wrong.
	So the motive is the records, the military finance office, all that stuff is up there.
	Maybe it's one person who works with the finance office.
	This actual house was foreclosed.
	It was closed up.
	There was no one living in it.
	We've had no interviews really to speak of with any of the family members who did live in it.
	But more importantly, and I like doing this to skeptics, because people always, you know, when it comes to Mythbusters, particularly people who listen to this show and, like, you know, would watch technology networks, they're like, Mythbusters, man, it was Mythbusters!
	Mythbusters!
	So, the idea that a house can explode a la born supremacy, blow up right off of its foundations, and ruin 80 houses in the entire vicinity, is something Mythbusters tried to do.
	And I want you to go back, and you can find this episode because I've linked to it in the show notes at 461.nashownotes.com.
	I'm going to play you the last 30 seconds of this, where they actually took methane, they put in the perfect mix of methane and oxygen, they had fans circulating in this little house that they built, then they had the toaster as an ignition device, and yeah, it exploded, but nothing like this.
	Houses do not explode like in the movies because of a gas leak.
	Here's them actually copping to that at the end of the episode.
	That was fairly exciting.
	I mean, we blew out the wall.
	I want to point out that we didn't break any glass.
	There was no bang.
	It was a whoosh.
	And that's something entirely different than what we saw in the movie.
	Well, that's a lot different also than what happened in San Mateo County when that line blew up and took out an entire neighborhood in an explosion much like the one that you attribute to a drone.
	No, I disagree.
	It was not an explosion.
	It was a fire, John.
	It was not an explosion.
	Houses were not blown off their foundations.
	It's not true what you're saying.
	The fact that this was an ideally mixed mixer with fans and everything in the exact quantity, and that's the best we could do, kind of tells you what the real deal is.
	It's not what the movie showed.
	And if it was like that in San Mateo, it wasn't like it took them three weeks to figure out what it was.
	It was like, okay, gas line, boom, this is it, here's the deal.
	As it happens, gas, San Bruno gas explosion kills at least three damages hundreds of homes, and they show a fireball that is outstanding.
	But no mention of homes being blown off their foundations.
	They were burnt to the ground.
	And this was not a gas leak of a main that exploded.
	John, they're saying it right there.
	If they say it was just a house filled with gas, yeah, then it's bogus.
	But they're not saying that, are they?
	I don't think so.
	Well, that's what is now generally accepted.
	San Mateo had 30 houses burnt and destroyed in a massive explosion.
	Okay.
	So, this was not a gas leak.
	The gas company is saying it wasn't a gas leak.
	Of course, we always believe whatever the gas company tells us, but okay, we'll just let it play out.
	You're not going to be able to get away with saying it's nothing forever.
	Oh, no?
	Really?
	Okay, I'm sorry I even said that.
	Now, all of this leads up to me really being angry about something else.
	Well, I think we should thank some executive producers.
	Yeah.
	We just did that.
	Let's do it again.
	Why?
	Okay, go on.
	I want to tell you why I'm angry.
	Okay, you're angry now.
	Okay, Kevin Reeves made us a drone jingle, right?
	This one.
	Yeah.
	Which I really like, and you still think is the Beatles and you don't like it.
	By the way, what is your problem?
	No, I never said I didn't like it.
	I just said it always sounded like a Beatles song.
	Why do you not like the Beatles?
	I don't dislike the Beatles.
	I'm just sick of them.
	You know a couple of them are dead, right?
	Yeah.
	You know how to reunite the Beatles anyway.
	Are you telling me that you don't listen to Beatles songs?
	I was raised with the Beatles.
	I've heard all the songs.
	I bought all their albums as they came out.
	I went through the Beatles thing during the era where it was relevant.
	Now it's just a bunch of...
	It's in between that quaint, antique-like quality of stuff from the 30s, which is entertaining.
	It's like a car from the 70s.
	They're ugly.
	They'll probably look pretty cool in 20 more years, but I don't like this moment.
	Okay.
	Can I just ask you, do you have a favorite Beatles song?
	No, there's actually really a lot.
	I think Taxman.
	There you go.
	That's the one that's underappreciated.
	I'm down with the Taxman.
	Anyway, so this song that you think the Beatles did, which is Kevin Reese.
	I never said the Beatles.
	I said it sounds like a Beatles song.
	Someone ripped off our whole song.
	What?
	Someone took that bit, which, believe me, no one heard this anywhere else except on this podcast, okay?
	That was our song, and it's a little jingle, and Kevin Reeves, the musical genius, made it for us, and then some guy went out and did like a minute-long version, and it doesn't even come close!
	Come close to the talent of Kevin Reeves.
	He did, I have to say, come up with the whole lyrics.
	I just want to play it because it is kind of funny.
	But the music isn't good.
	His vocals aren't good.
	But he did have a little YouTube video to go with it with a little drone flying around in its mouth talking, which is kind of fun.
	Flying over Afghanistan Or maybe it was Pakistan I promised myself to aim myself at every woman shall demand That was on my list I don't care if I missed I'm remote controlled I do what I'm told By someone at a computer Obama gave me a push More than Bush And I cost millions I'm supposed to target terrorists
	But not so much civilians I don't know what to say Whoops, some got in my way A drone again Naturally.
	You see, I mean, it is good, I have to say.
	A drone again.
	Naturally.
	So I like the lyrics.
	I think it's pretty funny.
	Wow.
	But that's a derivative.
	Well, that shows our influence.
	Thank you.
	That's really one I wanted to hear.
	Yeah, but I feel bad because if Kevin Reeves had done the whole song, it would have been much better.
	It would have been dynamite.
	It would have been much better than that.
	But anyway, so that is the influence.
	He's got better things to do with this time.
	Yeah, probably like make music for people.
	He's going to do a remake of Taxman.
	You know we're going to get that now.
	Taxman!
	How did Taxman go again?
	I forget.
	It's a Taxman.
	It's just a really good song.
	Dig it up and maybe play a bar or two, even though it's...
	I'm trying to...
	I don't even know what my favorite Beatles...
	I mean, I am a huge...
	Well, it's hard because the Beatles song is more of a genre in and of itself than it is a song.
	I mean, there's a lot of good songs.
	There's a crap load of good songs.
	I kind of like the Sgt.
	Pepper stuff was kind of cool, you know?
	Yeah, that's when they were kind of spacing out.
	But if you go back a couple of albums before that, the Rubber Soul album and the other one...
	Right.
	Well, this is actually Revolver.
	There it is.
	Yeah, right.
	It's left and right.
	I remember.
	It's syncopic, which I like.
	There's one for you, nineteen for me.
	One for you, nineteen for me?
	Cause I'm the tax man.
	Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm the tax man.
	Yeah, that's cool.
	No, you're right.
	That's good.
	And curiously, of course, all the liberals who listened to the Beatles back in the early days while they were all smoking dope, they are all for taxes.
	So the Beatles' influence with that song was zero.
	I loves me some taxes.
	They do.
	They like the idea of tax, tax, tax, tax me.
	Taxing is good.
	As long as you tax the rich, those bastards.
	I like taxing.
	Taxing is good.
	Yeah, really?
	Oh, well.
	Okay.
	So, a couple of things.
	Yes, please.
	I think we've got beaten up the Petraeus thing for the evening.
	I think we've beaten up Benghazi.
	Although, Alan apparently is still in the good graces with NATO, so his crew is not...
	Do you want to hear the...
	Oh, you have a NATO clip, too.
	Okay.
	What's your NATO clip?
	It's just that there's just an announcement on the news that NATO's good to go with the guy.
	NATO's standing by the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, who's now been implicated in a growing sex scandal.
	Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says he has full confidence in General Allen's leadership.
	The head of NATO has given his support to General John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan.
	I love it when you play our two clips back to back.
	How come it's only British people who care about that?
	Of course, of course NATO loves it because NATO is involved in the weapons smuggling so we can take over Syria.
	Don't you understand that, you stupid idiot?
	Before we get to, we're talking about the Brits, before we get to more complicated topics, I do have a clip that was done with, you know, Jeremy Paxson and Newsnight, they're going to be cooked, I believe.
	But I realize that Paxson's something of an a-hole.
	Really?
	Just noticing this now, are you, John?
	Well, I guess I'm still on the draw when it comes to this.
	So he had Conrad Black The Canadian publisher was thrown in jail in the U.S. Why was he thrown in jail?
	Well, this is kind of explained here.
	It was just because he got caught up.
	According to Black, there was supposedly some corruption or some violations of some corporate laws.
	He was stealing money, supposedly.
	It all seemed bullcrappy to me.
	But listen to him go off on Paxton, who tries to keep slamming him with this criminal.
	It is the opinion of a judge.
	And you have been convicted.
	Will you stop this bourgeois priggishness?
	What's bourgeois priggishness?
	You're a criminal.
	No, I'm not a criminal.
	Do you think a British court would have behaved like this?
	Do you think a British court would...
	Wait a second.
	Would throw 17 counts, racketeering, money laundering, all of this, have all of it thrown out, everything, the Supreme Court or equivalent in this country...
	Denouncing the lower court judges as idiots, the affirmative invented law, and telling them...
	You just misunderstood what was legal.
	Everything I did was legal.
	I didn't misunderstand any of it.
	It was a smear job for me to say.
	Because 99.5% of prosecutions in the U.S. are convicted.
	The whole system is a fraudulent, fascistic conveyor belt of the corrupt prison system.
	That's why.
	Let me tell you something.
	The 5% of the population of the world are Americans, 25% of the incarcerated people are, and 50% of the lawyers are.
	99.5% conviction rate.
	Six to twelve times as many incarcerated people per capita as Britain, Canada, Australia, France, Germany or Japan.
	How do you explain that?
	I don't think I have to answer that question.
	Well, give it a try.
	Why?
	Before you accuse me of being a criminal, give it a try.
	You are a criminal.
	You're a convicted criminal.
	No, you're a fool.
	You're just a gullible fool.
	You're a priggish, gullible British fool who takes seriously this ghastly American justice system that any sane English person knows is a matrage.
	And your mother wears combat boots, dude.
	Wow.
	You got video of this?
	Yeah.
	I was on Newsnight.
	That's pretty priggish.
	What does priggish mean?
	Priggish is like priggish.
	Just imagine folding your arms or being a woman, folding your arms and then taking your one hand in the folded arms to your throat and closing your collar real tight around your neck and then pursing your lips and then looking over very small granny glasses and saying, stop that.
	You just reminded me of something when you said that.
	I've got it.
	I've got it.
	I think Petraeus dies by autoerotic asphyxiation.
	No!
	Please!
	Like hanging in the closet from his belt with his boots on.
	It's not...
	They wouldn't pull.
	They wouldn't do that.
	Priggish.
	A person who demonstrates an exaggerated conformity or propriety.
	Prigg.
	Prigg.
	Oh, that's just a prigg.
	We want priggish.
	Huh.
	It means you're prig-like.
	Apparently priggish is not a...
	Oh yeah, priggish.
	Here we go.
	Priggery, priggish, priggishly, priggishness.
	Hmm.
	Irritatingly arrogant, smug manner.
	Yeah, I got it.
	Okay.
	Thank you.
	Well, what was the other thing you said?
	That is the...
	American, the criminal court conveyor belt of, oh, it was a good line he had there.
	There was a lot of good lines in there.
	I mean, it's worth playing again at the end of the show, even though I had it at the end of the show.
	It's also true.
	I mean, it is 100% true.
	Yeah, well, I like his numbers.
	5% of the world are Americans.
	25% of all prisoners in America, or I'm sorry, 25% of all prisoners in the world are American.
	Do we rock or what, dude?
	And 50% of all lawyers in the world are American.
	And they're in D.C. They're all over the place.
	That's so sad.
	Yeah, do we rock or what?
	We know how to run an empire.
	Do we kick ass or what?
	Imprison everybody.
	Yeah, it's like, hey, I'll tell you what.
	Shut up, Slanny.
	I'll throw you in prison because I'm a lawyer.
	I studied.
	I wanted to be a lawyer.
	That is too funny.
	Good clip.
	I like that.
	We might even get Clip of the Gay.
	Clip of the Gay.
	Clip of the Gay.
	What are you calling Paxman anyway?
	I'll have to get it.
	It'll be posthumously, depending on what else we have here later on in the show.
	There's a lot of good stuff.
	A lot of good stuff.
	Oh!
	I almost forgot to tell you.
	I spoke with Uncle Don.
	Oh, Uncle Don.
	Yeah.
	So, for those of you new to the program...
	Uncle Don is Donald P. Gregg, G-R-E-G-G. He has a wiki page.
	He does have a wiki page, so I feel that you're not really being improprietary.
	I think you're okay...
	To tell people that he...
	You're discussing him like you do.
	Yes.
	And he is probably one of the main men in my life, I would have to say.
	He's a favorite of mine.
	He's now 84.
	He was ambassador to Korea.
	His wife, Meg, just a fantastic statuesque woman.
	If you want to see old-school American political patriotic people, they're it.
	And he, of course, was a CIA big station chief, and he was OSS. Yeah, he was a major league guy.
	Major, major, major league.
	And we've discussed this before.
	I still believe that once he passes away in the next decade, of course, you never know, he'd go to 100.
	I think the show's off the air.
	Yeah, he's basically protecting us from...
	He's keeping the show on the air.
	He's keeping the show on the air, exactly.
	Yeah.
	Either that or Meg is.
	I think Meg.
	I was just about to say.
	So, I'm dying, of course, to ask him about the Petraeus thing.
	Because when we were there last year, I said, what do you think of Petraeus?
	And Don said, I think he's a good guy.
	I think he'll do the...
	But, you know, Don also loves drones and everything.
	But on the other hand, Don, longtime Republican, he served under Bush Sr. as his national security advisor.
	He converted, became a Democrat, and voted for Obama in this election as well, I believe.
	He hasn't confirmed that, but I believe.
	But, you know, you can't just, like, you don't call up the CIA guy and say, hey, how about all that schnozzling that's going on, eh?
	How funny is that?
	What's true?
	It just doesn't work that way.
	What's true?
	It doesn't work that way.
	So all of a sudden, I get an email.
	Now, he has his own email account, which is, funny enough, he has a Gmail account, which, of course, is just a company email.
	That's a good one, yeah.
	It's true.
	I think there's some truth to that.
	It's absolutely true.
	It's just as open as any other Pentagon email would be.
	But they have a combined account, which Meg uses.
	And all of a sudden, I get an email.
	What?
	What?
	Well, that sounds like that Dropbox theory.
	That's how they communicate with each other.
	No, I think they just talk to each other.
	Oh, well, that would work.
	But, you know, we really love them, and my Uncle Don, he loves Mickey.
	He is like, when he met her the first time, which was weird because, of course, he knows my ex-wife, he walks in the room, he goes, Who's this ugly?
	Kind of like broke the ice.
	He's like, you're an ugly person.
	Who are you?
	He loves Mickey to death.
	And when the power went out, we called them and made sure they were okay.
	Because even though he's had Uzis under his coat, he still is 84, and someone needs to look after him.
	So I'm looking for a way to talk.
	I get the email from their combined email account.
	But it's an email promoting Viagra.
	It's a spam email with Viagra.
	They've been hacked?
	Yes.
	That's hilarious.
	So I email back and say, Hey Meg, Don, looks like you might have picked up a virus somewhere along the line.
	If you need any help getting rid of this, just let me know.
	I'll be happy to help you out.
	So I get an email back almost immediately.
	Ugh.
	Thank you so much.
	I've gotten emails from several people and I'm so embarrassed.
	It sucks.
	I don't really know exactly what to do.
	It's amazing to me because my uncle, who's literally a NASA rocket scientist, Ren Curry.
	You can look him up too, Ren Curry.
	He literally is a rocket scientist.
	He could help them, but no one has apparently thought to just say, hey, do you need a phone call or something to walk you through it?
	Not even their own kids.
	So now I'm like, yay, I've got my excuse.
	So I get on the phone with Meg, and she's really thankful.
	And we go through a couple steps, and we change your password and run a virus scan.
	And when you're doing this with older people, no doubt, I mean, it is kind of like you're in the tower talking to the stewardess trying to help her land the 747.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But she's good because, you know, I could say the most important thing, Meg, is whatever you see on the screen, read it to me.
	Don't click anything.
	So she was, I mean, you know, come on.
	She's a spook wife.
	Yeah, get to the point.
	She's got security clearance.
	Anyway, you know, but then they're older, so they get on the phone together.
	He picks up the extension.
	You know how older people like to do that?
	Extension.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So they're running a scan, and it's taken like 15 minutes, and you were talking, how's Mickey, and how's Christina?
	And then it's like, okay, well, you know, this is going to be a while.
	By the way, you could have gotten more information out of him, obviously, if you run a slower scanner.
	Well, it was 16, well, so it's like 16, 17 minutes now, and, you know, we're running out of things to say, and I'm just about to launch into it.
	I'm about to say, hey, Don.
	And then Meg says, well, I'll tell you what.
	When the scan is over, I'll call you back.
	I'm going to get off the phone now.
	Don wants to say something to you.
	So I'm like, okay.
	So now I'm like, I'm ready, right?
	He says, Adam, as a reward for your helping us out, I'm going to tell you a story.
	Now, this is his literal words, and so this means a couple things.
	One, get a freaking piece of paper and a pen right now is what that means.
	You don't want to miss a word.
	So I was actually at the computer, so I was able to jot stuff down.
	Two, it means you ain't asking any questions.
	He's going to tell me a story, and that's going to be it.
	Right?
	So I'm not going to get a chance.
	It's not a dialogue.
	This is not a dialogue.
	Three is probably going to be funny, but most importantly, you've got to write everything down because his stories or his, you know, when he communicates with me, and I think I've forwarded you a couple emails, there's always something, there's a hidden, there's a coded message.
	You just got to find out what it is.
	Actually, you never sent me anything from him as a matter of fact.
	The Bobby Inman stuff?
	Yeah, I have.
	Oh, the Inman stuff.
	Yeah, and of course, he's trying to get you to meet Bobby Inman by my thesis.
	Right.
	Anyway, so let's just leave.
	And by the way, you have yet to do that.
	Okay.
	So I'm going to tell you the story, which ends up as an Uncle Don funny joke.
	But then I'm going to go back and I'm going to tell you what he actually told me.
	So John, if you figure it out halfway through, don't say I know what it is.
	Because you'll probably figure out what the message is that he gave me.
	So he said, well, you know, I talked to a good buddy of mine, Pete McCluskey.
	And Pete and I met each other on a war criminal tribunal for some Vietnamese.
	And, you know, Pete's the real deal.
	He says, this is a no-nonsense, you know, highly decorated naval guy, marine.
	You know, this is a real American.
	So don't say anything because I know you're Googling it, but you probably already know the name.
	You actually probably do know the name.
	So Pete McCluskey calls me up.
	Pete's going to Texas, and he wants to drop by former President Bush, meaning Bush Sr., and he needs his number.
	So, of course, my Uncle Don gives him his cell phone number, because my Uncle Don can pick up the phone and call Bush.
	And he goes out to Houston and he visits with the President and with Barbara for about an hour.
	And the President is not doing well, by the way.
	The President has Parkinson's and he can't walk anymore.
	And so he probably doesn't have that much longer to live, actually, is kind of half of the message I got.
	So he's telling me about this McCluskey guy.
	He says, you know, McCluskey...
	This guy, he's a real go-getter.
	In 1967, when the Israelis blew up one of our ships, he blew the whistle on that.
	This guy is no bullshit.
	He's a real American.
	So he wants to say hi to the president, and he goes over there, and he has a lovely visit with...
	With the president and his wife.
	And then before he leaves, he puts something in the president's hand as he shakes his hand.
	And it's a little refrigerator magnet.
	And the magnet says, Jesus loves you.
	Everybody else thinks you're an asshole.
	That's a good one.
	That's a good story because, you know, how many guys can do that to Bush Sr.?
	Now, I go back.
	What did he just tell me?
	So, Pete McCluskey, did you look him up by now, John, or do you know who he is?
	Pete McCluskey?
	Well, there's, I don't, I'm assuming it's the ex, he used to be a House of Representatives guy, a Marine.
	Yeah, so he actually ran.
	He used to be in, yeah, he used to be, he's from California, if not mistaken.
	Yes, he is.
	And he actually ran against Bush, I think.
	He tried to kick Bush out at one point.
	But listen to what my uncle just told me.
	He said, in 1967 the Israelis blew up one of our ships and he blew the whistle on this whole thing.
	What my uncle just told me there is the biggest conspiracy theory on the interwebs anywhere known as the Gulf of Tonkin.
	The Gulf of Tonkin, when the USS Maddox was sunk by a torpedo, supposedly from a North Vietnamese submarine, that's what started Vietnam.
	That's what started the war.
	It was a false flag operation.
	Well, no, the war was going on at the time, and it was starting to wind down, and we were losing interest in it, and it didn't get beefed up until that.
	That was actually the trigger point that made the war out of control.
	The war was in progress at the time.
	And for many, many, many, many years, it has been disputed that it was a North Vietnamese torpedo.
	I think it was during the Nixon administration it was revealed that the thing was a fake.
	Right.
	So I just like that my uncle kind of offhandedly said the Israelis did it.
	The Israelis did it.
	That's what he told me.
	He said, when the Israelis blew up our ship.
	I'm like, wow!
	Thanks!
	You just gave me, like, the Gulf of Tonkin.
	He said, literally.
	I wrote it down.
	And Pete blew the whistle on that, which is known as the Gulf of Tonkin.
	Hold on a second.
	There's a name for it.
	He wanted to recall...
	Let me just see if I can find it here.
	Where is it?
	Yeah, he wanted the repeal of the Gulf of Tonkin resolution that allowed for the war in Vietnam, according to the wiki page.
	So, it was not...
	It was the Israelis...
	So, you know, Nixon, I guess, or Kissinger would make sense, you know, called up whoever was running the show at the time.
	No, this is during the Johnson administration.
	Those guys were not in the picture at that level at all.
	It was the Democrats.
	Right.
	But, you know, this is basically 67.
	I mean, he says, I wrote it down.
	In 67, when the Israelis sank our ship, and it started the whole Vietnam thing, this is what he said!
	Wow!
	Right?
	It was the Liberty, I think, not the Maddox, the Liberty.
	Well, when something was shit sunk, it was a big deal.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So, to me, that was like, so either, A, he wanted to give me this, that was my reward, like, hey, by the way, Gulf of Tonkin told a false flag.
	Here you go, boy.
	Go pack and see if you feel that way.
	Okay, well, we already know it's a false flag.
	Okay, go on with your interpretation of what he actually said.
	But if you go to the wiki page, you know, it doesn't actually state outright that the Israelis did it and we knew it.
	Well, go on.
	Do you have any more to say about this?
	Well, I'm reading the chat room.
	The chat room is like, they're saying Tonkin was 65, but what was 67 then?
	I don't know what 67 was.
	Tonkin is when it was.
	It's in the wiki page.
	Do you think that maybe he's not telling you the story that everybody, because I'm not buying it.
	But maybe the Israelis had something to do with the Benghazi situation.
	You think that he's saying?
	Well, see, this is where I was going.
	You think he's transposing.
	He's just telling you some story, dropping in some weird bomb.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	This has nothing to do with...
	This is why the whole chat room is trying not to look at it, because they're missing the whole point.
	They're missing the entire point.
	That's what I think is the message here.
	I think you're exactly right.
	Israelis somehow are involved in the Petraeus thing in one way or the other.
	And I don't understand how.
	But he wouldn't be telling me this story and dropping that in there for no reason.
	A piece of very questionable fact.
	These agency guys, they leave nothing open for interpretation.
	Now, along with that, if you see now what's going on with...
	You know, we've got to find McCloskey.
	I believe he still lives in the Bay Area.
	Yeah, he does.
	He does.
	I bet you I could go have a meeting with him.
	Oh, really?
	Well, tell him Uncle Don said hey.
	Then he'll shut up.
	I won't have a meeting with him.
	I just want to talk to him and start dropping names.
	Forget it.
	Anyway, okay.
	But if you see what's happening right now...
	Actually, I'll play this clip and I'll tell you...
	And now I'm just becoming suspicious of everything I'm hearing...
	Dramatic video.
	We're just getting into here in the Situation Room from the Israeli military showing a deadly airstrike taking out the head of Hamas' military wing commander in Gaza.
	The attack, which killed nine people and wounded 35 others, was the first in a broader Israeli assault on targets in the region.
	Several other strikes have occurred as well.
	All this in reaction to hundreds of rockets coming into Gaza.
	Southern Israel from Gaza.
	Let's turn to our senior international correspondent, Sarah Seidner.
	She's in Jerusalem for the latest.
	Sarah, what are we seeing here?
	Is this the beginning of a new war?
	So his question is really the one that I'm asking.
	What are we seeing here?
	Okay.
	So what we have seen...
	Oh, by the way, wait, wait.
	Did Uncle Das say 1967?
	He did, specifically.
	That would be the Israeli war.
	All right.
	One of the Israeli wars took place in 67.
	So the 67 is also code.
	Let me continue, because I think this is relevant to it.
	I think it's relevant.
	I think you're right.
	So here we have the Israelis all of a sudden.
	We have not actually seen anything.
	So we hear about...
	Missile after missile, and we've seen a drone video of a car exploding, which we are being told that the founder of Hamas was in the car.
	This is all that we have seen.
	Wolf Blitzer asks the right question.
	What are we seeing?
	Report after report, I get the same thing.
	Listen to the words and tell me what you're seeing or what you're hearing.
	All right, we are standing now just above Gaza, and you can see Gaza.
	She's in front of a green screen, by the way.
	This is bullcrap.
	This is green screen.
	There has been airstrike after airstrike after airstrike.
	Airstrike.
	All these airstrikes, which we have no video.
	As we were coming in from the areas crossing from the southern Israel side of the border into Gaza, we ourselves witnessed three airstrikes.
	Three airstrikes.
	We witnessed it ourselves, but we forgot to turn the camera on.
	We have no B-roll.
	We got nothing.
	Major hits.
	We could see fire.
	Now they're just showing some people putting out a fire and people running around.
	And then three plumes of smoke.
	Never saw the three plumes.
	We have no video.
	And we've been also seeing and hearing rockets coming over into southern...
	Seeing and hearing, no video.
	...Israel.
	We now know that there are three people who have died in Israel.
	So this is what the entire reporting is.
	Here's another one.
	But we should talk about the leader of...
	Hamas' military wing, because he wasn't just the leader of Hamas' military wing, but he was also a symbolic member of Hamas, one of the founders of Hamas.
	So just telling us, and showing the B-roll of the car being blown up.
	Expecting a huge reaction from Hamas.
	They have basically said, and I'm quoting here, we will open the gates of hell.
	Who said this?
	Who said this?
	Where's the statement?
	This is you, some woman on CNN, saying this.
	Israel has opened the gates of hell.
	Our occupying forces have opened the gates of hell.
	This is wag the dog, John.
	This is made up.
	I mean, sure, there's always rockets going back and forth.
	I'm not going to say it because I don't want a million Israelis yelling at me on Twitter and that I hate Jews.
	No.
	But why am I not seeing any of what they're talking about?
	Now, here's what bothers me.
	Very similar to your concerns, although I didn't take it to the wag the dog level.
	I have a couple of clips which are similar to the clip you have, but I got mine from Russia Today and Al Jazeera, which I got a lot of stuff from.
	And it is Hamas military guy, blowing up Hamas military guy.
	Play that.
	Okay, hold on.
	...and its military action will continue, including a possible ground offensive.
	From Gaza City, John Donison reports.
	For the people of Gaza tonight, it looked like war.
	And as in most wars, civilians caught up in the violence, the impact of Israel's military might.
	And the first target today was the biggest.
	This was all that was left of Ahmad al-Jabari's car, Hamas's most senior military leader, hit by an Israeli airstrike as he travelled through Gaza City.
	He was 46 years old.
	He died instantly.
	Hamas, which governs in Gaza, sees this as a major provocation.
	Our Zionist enemy will, God willing, pay a price for this cowardly assassination because he was one of our most exceptional leaders.
	Ahmed al-Jabari sat at the top of Hamas' military wing, the Al Qasem Brigades.
	Tonight, the Israeli military published this image of the man it blames for a string of deadly attacks.
	The Army released video footage of him being tracked, and then the moment when his car was hit.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Now, so I'm looking at this, and I'm seeing the circle around this car, and it looks like it had to either be taken, it wasn't taken from a jet.
	No, no, it's a drone.
	It's a drone.
	It's a drone or a helicopter, but I think it's a drone.
	A drone or a helicopter could be overhead doing it, because we've seen helicopter footage that's similar to when these...
	Looks like a drone.
	...machine gun, those guys.
	Drone video.
	It looks like drone video.
	And so they got the little thing.
	Now, first of all, why did they release this, the picture of the circle and the drone thing?
	It's kind of giving away something.
	I don't think...
	What's the point of releasing it?
	And then they show the explosion.
	The circle and the drone.
	I love that show title.
	The circle and the drone.
	And so they think, well, I'll put that on the list.
	Circle and the drone.
	Put it on the list.
	Quick, before we forget.
	And the, uh, so they show that video, and then they show the thing blowing up, which all seems to me to be staged in some funny way, and we don't even know, maybe this guy was an agent, and it was extracted, and there wasn't even him in the car.
	In fact, it could be a Google car, for all we know, driving down the street.
	We don't know anything.
	We know nothing.
	No, we don't know anything.
	But the best thing is, like, Iron Dome, remember the Israeli Iron Dome?
	That apparently is stopping all the rockets.
	That's why we have no video of anything coming into Israel, because Iron Dome is stopping all the rockets.
	And she's saying, I'm standing here in front of Gaza, and I can see it's blue screen.
	Her hair is waving.
	I can see it's blue screen.
	But that's okay.
	CNN does this.
	And by the way, while you're making that assertion, I want to point out something JC pointed out to me earlier.
	You have to go to Stargate Studios, or actually look up Stargate Studios in Google so you can get some of the sub-pages.
	I should own this, by the way.
	And in your spare time, click on Show Demos.
	Excuse me, what's spare time?
	I'm talking to the listeners, not you.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, show demos.
	Show demos and look at some of these things.
	In fact, there's a number of shows that we've watched.
	I can see it right now.
	This is great.
	It's amazing what they can do, is what you're saying.
	These guys are out of control.
	We've watched two years now of a show called Episodes, a very funny comedy that's on Showtime.
	Yeah.
	And apparently...
	Everything.
	The whole thing is fake.
	And you can watch that show, and there's no way you would think that.
	This is some of the finest green...
	This is not the bullcrap green screen that people do with, you know, TriCaster or something that they're fooling around with in the office.
	At Mevio.
	At Mevio.
	This is like...
	Unbelievable.
	Mm-hmm.
	Material.
	I've seen the Ugly Betty stuff they've done, and that's pretty good.
	They've just put in whole cities, whole skylines, whole streets, and, of course, whole desert scenes.
	The Walking Dead, I think these guys do.
	Yeah, The Walking Dead.
	Oh yeah, now this is, people really have no idea how sophisticated it is, but then you want to, all you have to really do is just put it on YouTube and decrease the resolution and it's totally believable.
	Right, it gives it shaky cam and blurry.
	By the way, Buzzkill Jr.
	here in the back channel is saying November 2nd, we're going back to Uncle Don's messaging, November 2nd, 1967, U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson By the way,
	LBJ from Austin, Texas.
	I might point that out as well.
	The fun-loving Austin, Texas.
	So I think...
	Yeah, your national treasure was put together so they could promote the Vietnam War.
	So if we follow the logic, if we follow the logic of what happened in November of 67, the code being given to me about 67 about the Israelis, I think...
	That we're seeing a fractal because this, you know, this may be just a big bullcrap startup to get the Iran attack going.
	Oh, that could be.
	I mean, to me, it's like, you know, Hamas, and so the gates of hell have opened.
	Okay, and this is what someone has said.
	The only person I heard say it was the douche on CNN. I mean, I haven't seen a statement, a webpage, a PDF, a video, nothing.
	But okay, that's what they say.
	The gates of hell have been opened, Israel!
	And of course, Hamas is known to be a front organization for Iran.
	So perhaps what we're being told here is the Israelis have just pulled the false flag to promote the war effort against Iran with its surrogate Syria, of course.
	But really, Iran is the big prize, which we know from the Wes Clark 7 to be fact.
	Holy crap!
	What is CNN showing right now?
	Ooh, portray a sex scandal.
	Yeah, there you go.
	That's right.
	You tell me, ladies and gentlemen.
	You tell me where the value is, okay?
	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 your channel.
	This is value, baby.
	In the morning.
	All right.
	So we have a few donors for this show, 461.
	I want to thank each and every one of them.
	Corey Gigliotti, Port Coquitlam.
	Now, didn't we do this last time?
	You butchered my name in the alias, because sometimes we get a crossover because of the download.
	But let's play it.
	You've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
	I'll try again after you butchered my name again by alias, but finally got the city right.
	Okay, as a man supported by a woman in return for his attentions, or a male escort.
	What?
	Hopefully I'll land that dream job someday.
	Okay, I got it.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Because of the name.
	Giglio...
	Got it.
	Gary...
	Okay, we get the joke.
	Okay, sometimes we're not, you know, right on top of things.
	No, we're not.
	It looks like a real name.
	Gigliotti.
	Gigliotti from the Gigliotti family.
	Makes a great ravioli.
	We're not spring chickens, you know.
	Spring chickens.
	That's what my mom used to do.
	Give us a bow.
	Spring chicken?
	She's no spring chicken, you know.
	She's no spring chicken.
	What?
	So anyway, it's future night.
	Did she say it with that voice, too?
	Did she say it?
	She's going to strike you from hell, man.
	She's going to throw a thunderbolt on your head.
	Oh, she's probably not in hell.
	She's in limbo.
	Hopefully I'll land that dream job someday.
	He wants a parliament mumble, two to the head, little kid yay.
	People like that combination.
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Okay.
	All right.
	All right.
	You ask, they'll ask and thou shalt receiveth.

	One, two, one, two, two.
	Mic check, mic check.
	Adam and John, I'm surprised you've let this one slide.
	Oh, I hate it when people say that.
	I can't believe you miss this man.
	We miss him all the time.
	Do we do?
	Here it is, November already, and you didn't come up with a mic check donation.
	One, two, one, two, one, one, two, two, two, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, two, one, two, two, one, two, two.
	So it's actually one, two, two, two, two, one, two.
	Yeah, you hit the two so you can get that two.
	And it can only be a check.
	You can't do it through PayPal.
	Uh-huh!
	So it's not official until you do the 1-2-1-2-2-2 with a check.
	With a check.
	The mailing address is at the bottom of the last newsletter.
	And otherwise it's not official.
	It's also on the website, dvorak.org slash na.
	The looming Mayan zombie apocalypse must have you worried.
	Adam, keep the faith and use this to get some chow for the judge.
	May I suggest the Corbin 300 grain JSP? I think I have a box of those.
	They're peppery and they won't turn down that sweet karma lovin'.
	They are.
	I'll give you some sweet karma lovin', my friend.
	Yeah, they are peppery, aren't they?
	You've got...
	Karma.
	I love gun talk.
	That's nice.

	Greetings from Ontario Nuts.
	Or Ottawa, Ontario Nuts, Canada.
	I'll keep this short so there's a better chance of you guys reading my jingle requests as I was hoping for a live version of the...
	Atlas Shrugged jingle with Adam singing Atlas Shrugged, followed by John chiming in by Anne Rand in the whiniest voice he can muster.
	This would please me to no end and might even make a good show opener.
	We don't need these sorts of suggestions.
	All the best from me and my wonderful fiance, Emily, who still loves Adam's smooth and sexy radio voice.
	Alright, I think this is a very good idea.
	Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
	That was so bad.
	Your singing sucks.
	Yes, it does.
	Yes.
	You know, you can take lessons.
	I'm taking dancing lessons right now.
	Oh, brother.
	What do you mean, oh, brother?
	Can you dance?
	Can you do the Texas two-step?
	Can you do the Roomba?
	Can you do the jive?
	Huh?
	When I was a kid, they taught us dancing when I was in the second and third grade.
	It was part of the curriculum in the American school system.
	We learned all the dances.
	Tango, mambo, everything that was available then.
	You know what they have here?
	The kids go to...
	Oh, come on.
	What's the word, John?
	Where you learn manners and learn how to dance and learn how to...
	Come on.
	Finishing school.
	No, no, no, no.
	It's like after school.
	Manor school.
	Finishing school is what that is.
	No, it's a different word.
	It's a different word.
	It's something with a C. All the kids here go to it.
	You know what I mean?
	And then they go and they learn how to introduce themselves to people and they learn how to...
	That's exactly right.
	Hey, sweetie.
	Hey, peaches.
	30,000 emails was the giveaway.
	Sweet peas.
	Nobody ever asked, how do you write 30,000 emails?
	Anyway, I only say that because it triggered the thought that he kept putting sweetheart.
	Alan in the emails, which is code for something.
	Oh, yeah.
	Of course it's code for something.
	Oh, it's Castilian.
	Castilian.
	Castilian?
	Yeah.
	Castilian, I think.
	Cartilian?
	Cartilian.
	Cartilian.
	Oh, that's the pageant people.
	Honey Boo Boo?
	Or the Cotillion.
	The Cotillion.
	Cotillion.
	Yeah, that's for the pageant.
	That's for people involved in those idiotic pageants.
	You know, the tiaras and toddlers.
	No, it's just...
	No, it's just...
	This is the kids...
	The boys go to it.
	Cotillion.
	Yeah, sure they do.
	Hey, babe.
	I have a request, an important request.
	It would be very helpful, Void Zero, Mr.
	Oil, Gitmo Slate, whatever, if we could shorten the length of delay between when we speaketh and people receiveth, because, I mean, now people are saying cotillion in the chatroom.
	It's 30 seconds later.
	It's not helpful.
	We've got to figure out how to shorten that time.
	I don't think you can.
	Well, on Leo's show, it's like 30 milliseconds.
	He's able to do it.
	It's about two seconds.
	But he has cash fly.
	All right, back to the...
	Cotillion.
	No, well, Cotillion is good.
	It's, uh...
	Cotillion, I think...
	I won't say anything that'll get me in trouble.
	Sir Joe the Dish Slave, Stockton, California, $100.
	Hey, guys, Joe the Dish Slave here.
	Sir Joe, to you.
	Sir Joe, but he says he's...
	Yeah, but I'm saying Sir.
	Sir Dish Slave.
	With $100...
	The donation is a celebrity donation.
	Celebratory donation for the podcast hitting...
	Celebrity.
	Celebrity.
	Yeah, that's what he wanted to say.
	Celebrity.
	Donation for the podcast hitting episode 300.
	What?
	His ozonnightmare.com podcast.
	His podcast.
	Oh, his podcast.
	He's celebrating himself by giving us money.
	We like that idea.
	We think it's a great idea.
	Ozonightmare.com.
	Mark our milestone.
	I felt I needed to throw some value for value your way.
	Also, some recent karma I asked for came through for my family, so in return I'd like to request some for my listeners with a family member facing surgery.
	Hopefully this helps them as it helped our family.
	Absolutely.
	It does seem to work.
	It's crazy karma.
	You've got karma.
	Crazy karma!
	In fact, yeah, in fact, I got that from...
	Okay, let me just continue.
	I'll talk about this after I'm done.
	What?
	What are you saying?
	Well, I had a...
	Oh, let me just get to it in a minute.
	I don't want to...
	Okay, it's all right.
	Whatever you want to do.
	I got the new machine.
	Oh, you got the...
	Are you on it now?
	What do you think?
	So far, so good.
	We'll talk about it with Sir Jeffrey in Alamo.
	He sent you the machine?
	Was Mumble pre-installed?
	No, I went over there to get it.
	And he says that he's got, and I was going to score this, but I said, you know, this is typical of me, you know, not being greedy, but it's typical of me kind of thinking I'm going to do something that I just, I know I'm not going to get around for years.
	I actually get most of my projects done.
	What?
	Hold on a second.
	Newsflash, newsflash.
	John gets most of his projects done.
	Let's look at the books.
	Woohoo!
	Anyway, okay, so I went over there.
	So this is Sir Gerlach.
	We have him as a, he's already a knight, and he gets another knight here for putting a machine together.
	Oh, nice.
	And now, for whoever he wants it for you.
	So he's got, I go over there and pick up the machine, and he's got, he likes building machines.
	He's got a bunch of people laying around.
	Wait a minute, this is another kit plane?
	I mean, we already dealt with your machine that was a kit.
	Oh, no, this is, I, you see, you, what is wrong with you?
	These are much better machines than you can buy.
	I don't fly with people who build their own airplanes, and I don't like the podcast with people who build their own machines.
	I'm not going to fly with this machine either, because it's going to stay on the ground as an object of art.
	All right, so are you on the machine now?
	For a ham guy, I was getting this general, this is lame thinking.
	People have sent me emails, what is wrong with that guy?
	What is wrong with that guy?
	He's a Dixon.
	Alright, so are you on the machine now?
	Yes.
	It sounds dynamite.
	So anyway, he's got a machine.
	Is it a laptop or a desktop?
	It's a desktop.
	It's a big desktop with terabytes of data.
	Nice.
	So he's got a machine, a Mac Pro with a quad in it.
	it uh-huh intel and he says uh you know i'm gonna ask adam if he wants this because i got a newer one with oh my god are you kidding me and mine just the one that i edit the the big book show just crapped out that i this like eight years old this one and which i stole from mevio by the way new one this can't be eight years old no this i took it up two years ago no the one i took from mevio i took three years ago and it was already okay i thought you bought a brand new one from scratch no no no Oh, you just grabbed one of the clunkers?
	No, I said, I need to edit at home and I think you should send me some important gear.
	Remember when they kicked me out of my condo?
	I remember that the company had a condo in San Francisco and like, well, we can't afford that anymore, so you got to get out.
	And they just unceremoniously, while I was living in London, moved all my crap out.
	And threw it in the basement at Mevio.
	So then when I moved it to San Francisco, and when we had the, remember the place that was torn down?
	What a horrible life I've had.
	When we were kicked out under eminent domain, I moved my stuff from the Mevio basement there, and I said, oh, and I'm going to take this machine.
	It was a quad core with two, you know, with a UPS backup and everything.
	So this thing, well, it's not eight years old.
	It's, without a doubt, it is five years old.
	And it's, You know, it's old now.
	Anyway, so...
	Well, anyway, he says, yeah, you can ask Adam if he wants this machine.
	Yeah.
	And I said, you know, I need a video editing thing in my house.
	Oh, really?
	Well, that's what I said.
	I didn't say I was going to do it.
	But then I said to myself, John, yourself, you're not going to build a video editing studio in like...
	They'll take you five years.
	The machine will be a piece of crap by the time you get around it.
	I can just say, John, the best laid plans.
	Yeah, I could put up a green screen.
	I can light it just perfectly.
	Exactly.
	I get the lighting.
	So anyway, so I said, okay, let's be realistic, self.
	John, self.
	To self, John to self.
	Just be realistic.
	You're not going to build anything for years.
	You haven't even finished two or three projects that you're backed up on.
	Really?
	So mention to Adam, does he want this machine?
	That's what Gerlach asked.
	And I said, so now I'm bringing it up.
	That's very kind.
	Do you want the machine?
	Yes!
	If so, he'll ship it to you.
	I love it.
	Thank you, Sir Gerlach.
	That'd be awesome.
	Are you kidding me?
	Just yesterday, I turned the machine on, and it won't boot up.
	It's like the fan is going...
	I don't know what's going on with it.
	And once the Mac doesn't want to start up, that's pretty much it.
	Then you've got to go visit the Genius Bar, really?
	These are the guys that won't even believe me when I'm telling them that their iPhones are sucking everyone's data plans dry.
	I can't deal with these people.
	Once the Mac is broken, it's broken.
	You've got to kind of give up on it.
	So that would be completely awesome.
	Absolutely.
	Alright, so that's done.
	That's a done deal.
	Fantastic.
	Thank you.
	Where were we?
	We were on the donation segment, which we're now turning into.
	I like to go on these little side trips because people have to listen.
	Yes, because then you're like, I'm listening to donations.
	Yes, you do, because this is where the best information comes out.
	Okay, so I did the Gigolo E.T. and I did the David McNally in Rome, Texas.
	Joe the Dish Slave.
	He did Joe.
	Okay, so I'm up to Sissy.
	Did I do Sissy?
	No, Sissy.
	That's what I said.
	Sissy in Toronto, $99.99.
	Why?
	Because?
	No explanation necessary, but a parliament with a little kid, yay, $999.99 karma would be most appreciated.
	You've got karma.
	I was ready for it.
	Okay, now this is interesting because I find this is random number theory at work when we see these things that come in.
	Of course, these came in at 999, so here they are.
	Sir Mac Tank in La Jolla, California, comes in with 999.
	And he wants 9999, best podcast in the universe, karma to hosts, listeners, and dames. 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	You've got karma. - And then Nick McNeil from La Mesa, California comes in in the morning.
	This is 9999 donations in the honor of little Liam Holsey.
	Why?
	Because I can't live another day thinking that there's newly saved or created human resources living with the entirety of his original $8 million debt.
	From one germaphobe to another germophile, Dubis Derhammer Shotzi.
	Okay, enough of that.
	So we have Nick Kosterman in Oakville, Ontario at 96.96, which is flipped over 69.69.
	In the morning, John and Adam, I came with news.
	In a previous donation, I asked for a karma shot from my boss and called him out as a douchebag.
	He, several days later, had a hypertensive attack.
	I don't recommend this combo to people you like having around.
	I need some job karma so I continue to live with the Canadian dream of just getting by.
	You can take that to the bank plus two to the head followed by yay and a karma shot and a shot out to Buddy Court.
	I hit him in the mouth and he donated this episode.
	It's a little much though.
	Try to keep it down to three.
	Three can be funny.
	Take it to the bank to the head.
	You can take that to the bank.
	Wow!
	You've got karma.
	That's actually not a bad combination.
	Well, it was three, actually, so it wasn't all that bad.
	Well, with the karma on top of it.
	Yeah.
	I consider that four.
	A topping of karma.
	A topping of karma.
	Just a little bit of karma.
	Court Reithoffer in, probably Reithoffer, I don't know, Hoffer.
	Burlington, Ontario, 9696 again.
	Hey!
	Reading from the great white north, I'm donating 9696 to up the ante on the 6969 donations and hope others will follow.
	After listening to your show for over a year, I've decided to stop being a douchebag boner and start being a donor.
	I would like to call out my friend Joe as a douchebag for being one of the two people who hit me in the mouth and still hasn't donated.
	As for myself, I only want a dedouching.
	Alright.
	You've been dedouched.
	Chad Biderman.
	Uh-oh.
	Oh, no.
	69!
	69, dudes!
	Okay, the streak continues.
	Round Hill, Illinois.
	69, 69 in the morning, shittisons.
	Nothing to see here.
	Just send your cash.
	Why?
	Because?
	Donating is love.
	Give me a Parliament little girl yay.
	Yay!
	Wow!
	And the ever-annoying Benjamin Blondin from Walton Hills, Ohio, 69-69, and only once Atlas Shrugged.
	Atlas Shrugged.
	By Ayn Rand.
	Thanks, Ben.
	Don't call our supporters annoying.
	That's not okay.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Garrett Reed, San Diego, California, 6969.
	So here's my first donation after a few months of infotainment.
	Do we really provide infotainment?
	That's kind of an insult, I think.
	I think we are entertainment.
	A lot of people have been saying this recently.
	Yeah, so we need to stop this.
	We are not infotainment.
	Yeah, we do analysis attainment.
	Yeah, that's less annoying.
	Analotainment.
	How about analotainment?
	Analotainment.
	It also sounds like something to do with anal sex.
	That's why I like it.
	Analotainment.
	That figures.
	No surprise there.
	I need a de-douching for putting this off for so long.
	I was listening to the Sunday show, and you had clips about climate change, and they were all bullcrap.
	As a geologist, earth scientist, I know the truth.
	The truth is we're still in a effing ice age.
	In Earth, it has been consistent glaciation at the poles.
	It's science.
	Last Thursday, you were talking about the Mil-Konovich cycle.
	I doubt you knew what it was.
	So consult the Book of Knowledge.
	No, I was the wobble.
	I was talking about the wobble.
	I know exactly.
	And I was, see?
	Here's the scientist saying I was right.
	Yeah, it's basically the wobble oscillation you were talking about.
	So hit me with some science.
	Science shut up slave karma after you de-douche me.
	Oh, okay.
	I'm sorry.
	All right.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	It's kind of a nice combo itself.
	Okay.
	Was that your handler?
	Was that your handler calling?
	Yeah, they're good, CIA. Let's see.
	Hey, man, stop talking about Bobby and Greg, man.
	Don, stop it.
	Which reminds me, you know, the guy just lives down the street.
	Louie Gutierrez in Ontario, California, 6969.
	I never donate to anything, but I think you guys are legit.
	Oh, well, I think so, too.
	Rather than purchasing one of those expensive gaming keyboards, I decided on a better investment would be a no-agenda donation.
	Thank you.
	I think so.
	Yeah.
	He enjoyed the Nader Clips from 458.
	The central question is exactly similar.
	Please hit me up with some shut-up slave and good karma.
	Louie from California's Inland Empire.
	So what is a good gaming keyboard?
	How is it different from a regular keyboard?
	No, no, no.
	JC Buzzkill Jr.
	knows the difference.
	I mean, he's had a couple of them.
	They're just more rugged, and I think they have more control buttons, and they're very programmable.
	All right.
	Shut up, slave!
	I think.
	You've got karma.
	Well, there's some gaming karma for you, so you don't get killed.
	Sir Damien Taman in our favorite place, Perth.
	I don't have a note from him.
	I think Perth is the Paris of Australia, is it not?
	I think Sydney is.
	Oh, okay.
	Wait!
	That was it!
	69!
	69, dude!
	That's it!
	Alright, that's gotta be it.
	Cameron Gray in London.
	66.99.
	Sheer, the red and the white.
	Hmm.
	Craig Marlett in Bloomington, Indiana, 56.
	This is a belated 5555, so I'll round it up.
	It's also my first donation since I started listening to this past summer, so please de-douche me.
	I really enjoy your news deconstruction, so keep doing that.
	And please send me a science karma to give my PhD research a shot in the arm.
	You betcha.
	You've been de-douched.
	Science!
	Science!
	You've got karma.
	I'm liking that combo somehow.
	I'm liking the science karma.
	It's working.
	Yeah.
	Sean Pyle in Streamwood, Illinois.
	5597.
	I just asked for job karma this summer and it worked!
	Well, I did get a new job and more money.
	I got sideswacked with unexpected medical bills and haven't been able to donate in a while.
	Adam, can you please give us a five-minute summary of Atlas Shrugged?
	What?
	Five minutes?
	No.
	Five minutes?
	I bought the 65-hour audiobook from...
	Oh, I see what he's saying.
	He doesn't want to listen.
	He bought the 65-hour audiobook from Audible about a year ago.
	And I'm trying five times.
	This is a sensible person, Sean.
	I've tried and tried and tried to listen to it.
	It's just terrible, he says.
	I can only make it into about 45 minutes before...
	Hold on.
	He doesn't say the word terrible I'm reading is not here in his note.
	I like to kind of veer from the script once in a while just because I think it adds life to the show.
	Why?
	Because?
	I can only make it about 45 minutes before I start nodding off and driving into incoming traffic.
	So while I can't really afford it, I need to donate and ask for more karma.
	Here's 50 bucks plus another five for Adam to buy a meal and eat before or after the show.
	What does this mean?
	They're talking about insulting us.
	Really?
	Here's 97 cents for John to buy a spare non-clicky pen.
	Someone emailed me and said that I have to go easy on you about that because you have S-A-D. Which is what?
	It's like season affectional disorder or something.
	Yeah, that's exactly the problem.
	Could I get a Huntsman Parliament Karma to help with the financial situation?
	Keep up the great work.
	You've got karma.
	I think it's interesting that people have really fallen in love with that parliament bullcrap.
	It is interesting.
	Stephen Jay Nelson in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, no comment, double nickels on the dime, Mark Giddens in Bainbridge Island, Washington.
	By the way, I don't think it's bullcrap.
	What's bullcrap?
	No, it's not.
	You say Parliament bullcrap.
	It's not.
	It's a highly produced combo of two three-second MP3 files known as Parliament mumble.
	No, I think Parliament's bullcrap.
	Oh, okay.
	Good.
	Bainbridge Island, Washington, 5510.
	Long-time boner, first-time donor.
	Pretty embarrassed it's taken this long to step up to the plate and contribute.
	My friend co-worker turned me on to the podcast a few years ago on a work trip while driving through Louisiana, so there.
	I'm in need of a serious dedouching.
	Anyway, love the show.
	It seems to be the only alternative news source I can listen to without getting bombarded by advertisers to buy seeds and gold and Kevlar motorcycle pants.
	I hit my 77-year-old mom in the mouth, and she's been listening to the show ever since.
	Ha, ha, ha.
	Don't hit your mom.
	That's not okay.
	Please send karma to Mary and to Jonathan as they are both just getting by.
	You've got karma.
	I think you skipped over Sir Russell Williams in Boise.
	I know why you skipped over it, but I think you did skip over it, yeah.
	You can't.
	You can't skip over.
	Oh, I did, but it was a mistake.
	And did you get Toby?
	I didn't mean to do it on purpose.
	Did you get Toby Stidham?
	Toby Stidham?
	Yeah.
	No, I must have jumped.
	The thing scrolled funny.
	All right.
	So Toby Stidham at 5555 from Haymarket, Virginia.
	I got him now.
	And then Sir S. Russell Williams in Boise.
	Boise.
	Boise.
	Idaho.
	Boise.
	Correct.
	Boise.
	Fifty by ten.
	Pardon the douchebag Bill Maher reference, but new rule, the double nickels on the dime donations should be known as five and five give me ten donations to denote five years going to ten years as the best podcast in the universe.
	I like that.
	I'm going to ask for Atlas Shrugged Karma, but I have a specific requirement.
	First of all, the karma is for job promotion.
	I'm trying to land a job As well as job hunting karma for my fellow No Agenda producer, Aaron.
	I don't want the Atlas Shrug jingle.
	Instead, I want John to say the jingle in that fashion he does so well, followed by the karma shot.
	Okay?
	Atlas Shrug by Ayn Rand.
	Okay?
	You've got karma.
	Pretty weak, but okay.
	I don't even try to sing it.
	Guess what?
	I can't sing either.
	Which is why I can tell that Adam can't sing.
	All right, where were we?
	Anonymous from San Diego.
	5150.
	No names, please.
	I'm donating this amount since I've been a real-life, honest-to-gosh, 5150, and I'm not Jason Russell.
	What?
	Well, he's a real 5150, which means you're in the nuthouse, right?
	Oh, Jason, okay.
	I've discovered that I'm $950 away from a knighthood, and a quick calculation showed me that if I donated $51.50 every month for a year, it would show me for a year, how much more would I need?
	Exactly $333.
	That's interesting.
	Needless to say, this was a sign, and the central question is, you deserve more than Starbucks does, or we deserve this more than Starbucks does.
	Thanks, and 73 is from a lapsed ham.
	Can I please get some karma with a little girl yay chaser?
	You've got Carmen.
	Yay!
	The little girl is also quite popular.
	Yeah, she's great.
	Christopher Frederick, Easton, Pennsylvania, 5005.
	Love the show.
	Hope this donation helps.
	Regards.
	Fred DeBeau, founder ASU. Americans for Sane Uberty.
	Okay, we'll look that up later.
	Kevin Payne in Richmond, Virginia, $50.01.
	David Lindbergh in Rochester, New York, which is a depressed area apparently, $50.
	Bought me a 41-years-old long-time listener.
	Recently I've been laid off from my job with 13-plus years of data analyst experience and the largest telecommunications company in the world.
	world no one is hiring here any analysts in rochester and not even hiring to make coffee at starbucks what i will do starting this month i will dedicate fifty dollars a month check to the no agenda show by passing the paypal tax i should be a night by mid late next year since i have previously donated that means i collect fifty dollars in cans each month month so be it wow This guy is willing to collect $50 in cans...
	So he can keep donating to the show.
	He has no job.
	I will do my part to keep you on the air.
	He'll get a job shortly.
	A suggestion.
	If you and Adam want to make a certain level of money each month, I would ask for people to start a monthly plan for donations instead of large one-time donations.
	You can get 50 people at 50 a month.
	We've tried all these tricks.
	You call them tricks?
	They're tricks.
	They don't work.
	No, they don't.
	They really don't.
	They really don't, unfortunately.
	No, we have to rely on people listening to a show and saying, those guys are great.
	I've been listening to this show for a long time.
	Everyone's donating, but me, I'll give them $100.
	We have a lot of people on the 33s, the 11-11, the $5 a month.
	PayPal turns it off.
	And then blames us.
	And they blame us!
	No agenda just cut you off.
	Yeah, they hate you.
	They don't want your money.
	We got mail from people that said, what, do you hate me?
	Yeah, why do you hate me?
	So, I mean, this is not good.
	Alex Schoenfeld, although we still encourage it, we do have a lot of subscribers, and it does produce a lot of money.
	We want to thank all of them for helping us out.
	Alex Schoenfeld, in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, 50, in the morning, Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	Thank you for the birthday call-out.
	Please hit Adam with a douchebag for pre-coaching JCD with the pronunciation of my name on Sunday.
	Douchebag!
	I would do it myself, but the shill has not sent my douchebag button yet.
	Here's a 50 spot, as promised.
	For God's sake, get a new mic with it, John.
	What's wrong with my mic?
	I don't know.
	Either that or listeners deserve a bunch of JCD leprechaun ringtones.
	Oh, he's just complaining about the helium thing.
	Because if you had only done, when you went to helium, if you had only done, me gold, me gold, it would have been funny.
	Yeah, I'm sure it would.
	To you.
	Just mocking me.
	Keep up the excellent work.
	Please slap me with a shut up, slave, followed by two to the head, just getting by, Alex.
	Shut up, slave!
	I've got to tell you, we'll finish the last two and I've got to tell you a story.
	Sir Chris Lewinsky and Sir Jason Burke in Sherwood Park, Alberta in Richmond, Texas both gave us $50 without comment and we want to thank them and everybody else who donated lesser amounts to the show for a show 461 and we want to remind you that we do have another show coming up and we could use some more help for that one.
	Thank you very much.
	So you're talking about me mocking you.
	I just wanted to tell you something, because you'll never listen to it, because you'll be too busy building your video processing factory.
	Remember the Indian guys that we made fun of who went around the world on the State Department's dime?
	Oh yeah, those guys.
	That was a while ago.
	Yeah, it was a while ago.
	Do you remember I met those guys in Chicago?
	Remember I told you that?
	Yeah.
	Right.
	So Rajiv, of the crew there, he comes to Austin and he's doing some corporate gig and he says, Hey man, will you be on my podcast?
	I'm like, okay.
	This funnyindian.com, I think is what it is.
	And it was actually pretty interesting because he asked me like 40 questions kind of in a conversational format.
	And he says, who do you seek approval from?
	And your name was the first one out of my mouth.
	It's funny, isn't it?
	It's bogative.
	It's not bogative.
	And let me tell you why.
	You can take this compliment, even though I mock you.
	To the bank.
	You can take it to the bank.
	I either want you to go, hmm, good theory, or I want to make you laugh.
	And that is actually the reason why I do this show.
	Well, I do the show for the benefit of the larger audience, even though I do get a kick out of it when I crack you up, or top you, which I have not been able to do on this show whatsoever.
	Let me just tell you one thing.
	There is nothing I love more than you topping me.
	Yeah, well, it ain't happening with this set.
	And there's somebody out there who got that reference.
	A very short list.
	Patrick Maycomb congratulates himself.
	It is his birthday today on the 15th.
	Patrick, happy birthday from all of your friends here at the best podcast in the universe.
	And I have a thing here on the...
	This is a new category Buzzkill Jr.
	put in here.
	The douchebags?
	What is that?
	Oh, we had a stand-alone request for a douchebag call-out.
	Is this a new category?
	I mean, is this okay?
	I mean, I can take direction.
	Yeah, it's okay.
	I didn't want to tell him to do it.
	He didn't dream it up.
	Alright, well, it was unclear what the message was.
	So Patrick Maycomb, who also has a birthday, wants to call his friend Vinfamous out as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Well, he's a common contributor, and he just said, hey, it's not like he's a schmuck that just showed up yesterday.
	That's interesting.
	I can use this as a douchebag amplifier.
	What?
	A douchebag amplifier.
	Yeah.
	Hey, did you hear about those guys that got a podcast?
	It's called No Agenda, and you have a friend who's a douchebag?
	You can go on that show, just send them a note, and they'll call them a douchebag on the radio.
	On the radio.
	Yeah.
	Get your sword there, douchebag amplifier.
	You got it?
	There you go.
	Michael Schumacher!
	Bruce Salkowitz!
	Come on, guys.
	Step forward.
	We are so happy to induct you into the round table here of our Knights and Dames.
	Thank you so much for your contribution to the best podcast in the universe.
	The amount of $1,000 or more.
	I hereby pronounce thee Sir Michael Schumacher and Sir Bruce Salkowitz!
	Salkowitz!
	Night to the Noah Jenner Roundtable for you, my friends.
	Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys and Chardonnay, Hot Pants and Booze, Wenches and Beard, Geisses and Sake, and Ruben S. Women and Rosé.
	Mmm, my favorite.
	You think you got them all?
	Ruben S. Women and Rosé.
	Give us something out.
	Nope, nope, nope, nope.
	No, I did not.
	I got them all.
	So I'm watching, you know, continue the discussion on the Gaza Strip thing.
	So I'm watching R.T., Russia Today, which is, you know, now it's become really apparent what a propaganda arm it is of the Russian government.
	And they're going on...
	But I got this clip.
	It's called RT. Even RT has its limits.
	So they brought on some sociologists who look like an Arab guy who just hates...
	He hates Israel.
	And he's going out with all these theories and he's blasting them for bombing this guy and all the crap they're doing.
	And his main meme was, yes, one Israeli gets a hangnail and then they bomb the Gaza Strip.
	And he goes on and on.
	So finally when they got to this one point, somebody just said, cut this guy off.
	And you just have to hear it because it's so funny.
	Happened?
	I mean, can things get any worse now?
	What are the implications?
	All-out war.
	There's talk of that with Israel and the Palestinians.
	And of course what's going on with the tensions between Tehran and also of course all the other problems in Syria.
	I mean, is this a serious turn of events now for the Middle East?
	Well, it is serious because any time you're talking about displacing and dispossessing 4 million people, but this notion of an all-out war is a misnomer.
	What we're looking at is an all-out offensive, a Nazi blitzkrieg kind of assault.
	Okay, James, we'll leave it there.
	Thank you very much indeed for joining us.
	James Petras, professor of sociology at Binghamton University in New York.
	In fact, I think we have audio of the producer yelling in the ear of the...
	Yeah, there it is.
	He starts calling.
	I cracked up watching that.
	They said, oh, we're going to drop the Nazi bomb on the Israelis.
	We've got to cut this guy off.
	You can't do the Nazi thing, man.
	That's the end of the conversation.
	Don't you know anything about the interwebs?
	It's no good.
	No good.
	It's no good.
	Let me see.
	There was a number.
	We're going to stay on the off-topic stuff for a second.
	One of my favorite shows, and I recommend it to people, is Honey Boo Boo.
	I haven't even seen that show since we did the bit.
	Oh, okay.
	The stock market analysis is done on CNBC, specifically a show called Fast Money.
	Oh, I got the Mark Faber clip.
	Do you have that one?
	I saw the Mark Faber bit, but I was just going to bring it down to this one...
	Where is it on here?
	The stock market report, I believe, is what it is.
	It's just like gloom and doom.
	It was just like, wow, I've never heard this go on.
	This year versus last year, we are nowhere where we were last year.
	I mean, the slowdown is market.
	If we take a look at the stats that we have put together, 0.58% revenue growth for 2012.
	Compare that to 11.44% last year.
	2.3% profit growth this year.
	Versus almost 18% last year.
	I mean, we have to take a broader look at the market.
	Yes, there are always stock-specific exceptions, excuse me, and examples of good earnings growth and bad earnings growth.
	But you've got to take the aggregate, too.
	Well, I'll tell you, what the problem is here is that I agree with Brian Christopher, or agrees with Guy Christopher.
	Nice.
	There's a bigger issue here, and people are pulling money out of the capital markets.
	If you look at today, we had a big drop in the Dow, big drop in the S&P, yet bonds were almost flat.
	People were not rushing into the bond market.
	People were going into other places.
	You look at Brazil, it was down almost 2% today.
	People are just putting their money under the mattress.
	That, to me, is more of a problem on any type of a rally if we get one, because the firepower just isn't there.
	People have thrown the towel in.
	I thought the Faber thing was better.
	You want to hear that?
	I just wanted to get to throwing the towel in.
	Yeah, I actually saw the Faber thing, and I don't know why I didn't clip it.
	I think it's because I couldn't consolidate it.
	I'm not sure.
	In the Western world, including Japan, the problem is we have too much debt, and that debt now...
	We'll have to be somewhere, somehow repaid, or it will slow down economic growth.
	And so I think that we lived beyond our means, 1980 to 2007, and now it's payback period.
	But it's payback period, but if you have a situation that you expect, where the fiscal cliff is one that we never address, we just kick the can down the road and deal with it another day, when does it actually start to catch up with us?
	I can't tell you precisely today, but I think the whole global financial system will have to be reset at some problem, and it won't be reset by central bankers, but by imploding markets, either the currencies, Or the debt markets or the stock markets.
	But it will happen.
	It will happen one day, big time.
	And then we will all be lucky if we still have 50% of the asset values that we have today.
	Yay!
	I love that.
	That to me is like, yeah, perfect.
	Yeah, we had his thing on before.
	He's quite entertaining, this guy.
	I think this is one of the most entertaining things I've heard.
	I mean, I like what he said last time, but this is just like, we will have to pay.
	Well, we will.
	It's just the way it goes.
	So I got today's New York Times.
	JC and I were both looking at clips yesterday.
	And I got this one clip, which is...
	You might as well play this.
	Well, actually, I have an end-of-show clip on the Madrid riots, as the BBC reported them.
	I may have a short clip on the riots.
	I mean, I've got lots of...
	Yeah, just play a short clip on the riots.
	And here's...
	Well, before you do that, I might as well set it up with this.
	Well, which one is it?
	Hold on.
	Which one is it?
	The mega-protests?
	What's it called?
	Oh, Megaprotest.
	Yeah, they used the word Megaprotest.
	I believe Megaprotest was used by Russia today, and I thought, well, that's a pretty good term.
	You play it short.
	This is our team.
	Joining me now, shortly we'll be talking about Europe.
	It's a day of unity there at the moment.
	Europe hasn't seen in years for all the wrong reasons, of course, as unity is occurring today.
	A series of mega protests are underway across the block with millions signing up to join in on a resounding chorus saying no to austerity.
	Yay!
	I think we just keep the little girl in.
	I usually do that for every clip.
	Anyway, so...
	Yeah, she walks.
	So the New York Times comes, and J.C. Yen said, look, he says these protests, which are completely outrageous...
	The entire Europe is essentially shut down.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I know.
	And there are every country.
	Portugal, Madrid, Spain, all throughout Spain.
	Italy.
	England.
	But notice the Netherlands.
	Everyone's just all quiet, just all slaves, all like, okay, alright, it's okay.
	Everybody's been beaten, obviously beaten down.
	I have the clip of angry people getting beaten.
	Do you have a getting beaten clip?
	Well, I think the end clip of the show, which is more of a report, but let me just say this, I'll just finish my little thing, which is, the New York Times comes, there is nary a mention of these riots in the paper.
	No.
	Yeah, I can read you all the front page headlines.
	The riots are in a small box at the very lower left-hand corner.
	They have a bunch of little boxes down there with minor stories that are inside.
	And there's a little box and there's a bunch of riots in Europe and people, they're mad.
	Okay, all right.
	Well, hello, New York Times.
	This is a little teaser for our end of show clip.
	In case you missed it...
	Some pockets of violence have broken out in Spain and Italy as millions of workers have gone on strike across Europe in a coordinated protest against spending cuts.
	Some of the worst violence broke out in Italy where students clashed with police.
	A hundred protests are planned nationwide there.
	The biggest protests have been in Spain where the economic crisis is at a peak from the suicide of a Spanish woman who jumped to her death as her home was being repossessed.
	They're taking all our rights away, all our rights.
	The banks and other business people are bringing us onto the streets.
	They are stealing our salaries.
	We don't have any rights anymore.
	In Greece, Italy, Spain, Belgium and France, many flights were cancelled, schools closed and public transportation came almost to a standstill.
	Today is billed as the first pan-European general strike with around 40 unions taking part across 23 countries.
	Full-blown rallies are only taking place in Spain and Portugal, but many of the others are holding three- to four-hour stoppages or demonstrations.
	I like how, you know, in Spain, people are like, the banks are stealing from us, these guys are a-holes, we're going to go on the street, we're going to fight the cops.
	And here in America, we're like, oh, four dollars for ATM? Okay.
	You get a $3 fee, I'll pay it.
	Okay, okay, I'll pay it.
	Whatever.
	Well, they don't want the American public to see these riots.
	No, of course not.
	This would be...
	Now, I think RT is doing a service with this because they are showing this.
	Of course, is RT on everywhere?
	Can you get it everywhere?
	Yeah, they actually have their own full network now.
	24-7 network on the Dish Network.
	I forgot to tell you.
	I forgot.
	Oh my God.
	And they're playing it all over the place.
	I forgot to tell you.
	I met the perfect woman for RT. The perfect host.
	You know how the Curry D'Vore Consulting Group would know exactly how to handle this?
	Because let's face it, they still have the wrong women on.
	I mean, they're wrong.
	It's closer, but it's not good.
	Go to MissTexas.Curry.com.
	M-I-S-S-T-E-X-A-S. MissTexas.Curry.com.
	Let me just show you.
	Let me just show you.
	Remember we did this celebrity fashion show thing that I told you about on Sunday?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, you mentioned it.
	For the hospice here in Austin.
	So I want you to take a look at who we met, who was there.
	Are you at the webpage?
	I'm getting there.
	Right.
	So, Mickey's next to Miss Texas.
	Now, she has her hair up, but I said, bitch, can you do a Russian accent?
	She said, no problem.
	She's Miss Texas 1998, by the way.
	Is she an actress?
	She's a host.
	She's hosting F1, Formula 1 fashion segments and stuff.
	She does ESPN's Speed Nation or whatever.
	She's a television host.
	And look at her.
	I mean, she's 40 or 39 or whatever.
	She's the perfect age.
	I think she looks amazing.
	And I think we can make her totally Russian.
	And I told her this.
	I said, can you do a little Russian accent, a little twang?
	She said, I don't know.
	She's from what year, 93?
	91?
	98.
	Miss Texas, 1998.
	Holly.
	Holly Gardner, I think, is her last name.
	She actually looks better now than she did then.
	She looked good.
	Now, who do you see on the left in this picture?
	Who's that?
	Do you recognize that guy?
	Yeah, that's, what's his name?
	Not Eubanks, but the guy who used to be on the Love Conflict.
	Chuck Woolery, that's right.
	Chuck Woolery, right?
	Chuck Woolery, baby.
	Back in two and two.
	Is that his wife?
	That's his fourth wife, yes.
	She's very nice.
	And he's working on his fifth, which is standing right next to her.
	She's really nice.
	Chuck is 72 now.
	He looks good for 72, I think.
	He must have had some work done.
	No, and he's had a heart attack, quintuple bypass.
	He's a very, very funny guy.
	And his wife is, and she says, I'm number four.
	Number four.
	I'm the future of Ex-Mrs.
	Wallery.
	I'm the future of Ex-Mrs.
	Wallery.
	Well, the problem is if this woman's working for ESPN, it's not a big paying operation.
	No, that's freelance.
	Oh, so she needs a job.
	Yeah, but the problem is she's got two kids.
	Where are the RT Studios?
	That's the problem, I think.
	Well, I think they green screen everything in so that she could probably work out of Texas for that matter.
	Have you seen SaveUsChuckWillery.com?
	Have you heard of this?
	Chuck Willery?
	No.
	Okay, so there's these videos.
	I don't know who the hell is making this, but Chuck Willery saves us from the demise of the world.
	Let me play this little bit here.
	Hello, Americans.
	The left's attack on assault weapons is back.
	There is no doubt that it's a tragedy when anyone takes the life of another without...
	So this is Chuck Woolley promoting assault rifles.
	But to blame assault weapons for these tragedies...
	Does he live in Texas?
	Yeah, he lives in Horseshoe.
	Yeah, and so he's a philanthropist, our Chuck.
	And I was in awe of him.
	You gotta see this video though, this is so funny.
	Well blaming airplanes for the 9-11 attacks.
	The problem lies with the perpetrator, not the tool used to commit the crime.
	Listen to this.
	The left is now screaming from the rooftops that there is no good reason for any American to own an assault weapon, that they're not good weapons for defense or for hunting.
	Frankly, they're missing the point.
	Take it from my philosophical guru and life coach, Ice-T. You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny.
	That's why fellow rapper Ice-T and I are at poppin' lockstep on gun control regardless of any East Coast, West Coast rap rival.
	I think the guy is funny.
	Chuck Willer, he's cool like the Hoff is cool, you know what I mean?
	Yeah.
	And don't we look awesome in that picture?
	Look at this.
	Chuck Willery and Adam Curry and three babes.
	It's a Curry-Willery sandwich.
	It's a sandwich.
	And Miss Texas is the cheese.
	Yeah, well, it's definitely cheesecake involved.
	So anyway, onward.
	Anyway.
	Onward from your bragging about your situation.
	So, yeah, big distraction.
	I'm surprised you weren't standing in between Mickey and her.
	Yeah, so let me just give you the distraction of the week, everybody.
	The distraction of the week on the agenda of her.
	So I don't know where people think that it's really worth anyone's time to discuss the fact that some boneheads have gone to the whitehouse.gov website and have petitioned to secede from the United States.
	This is like top news now.
	I mean, really?
	This is so annoying that, you know, it's going to get worse.
	I think this has a 48-hour life cycle because, well, they promised 25,000 signatures.
	They have to address it!
	I'm like, ugh.
	Yeah, no, I had it as a back burner item, perhaps we could discuss, because it's stupid.
	Yeah.
	But what's even stupider, so of course we have, peacefully grant the state of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America, create its own new government, and then even stupider, peacefully grant the city of Austin, Texas, to withdraw from the state of Texas.
	What?
	Come on.
	Maybe get your neighborhood to withdraw from Austin.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I would like Comanche Trail to peacefully withdraw from Austin, peacefully withdrawing from Texas, and we want to be a part of Poland.
	Please?
	Please?
	Why not?
	Yeah, why not?
	Don't fall for the distraction, people.
	There's a lot of really important stuff going on, for sure.
	For instance...
	I only have one medicinal story today.
	Sid Campyador turned me on to this.
	Researchers have found, researchers, John, you know what that involves, that oxytocin, how do you pronounce that?
	Oxycontin.
	Well, this is something else then.
	Oxytocin.
	Why is it spelled?
	Well, maybe oxycontin's made from oxytocin.
	Let's take a look.
	Check the book of knowledge.
	You have the Merck book there.
	Let's take a look.
	Oxytocin.
	This actually may change the story, but I think it's still funny.
	Do you have it?
	Do you have oxytocin?
	That's right.
	Oxycontin is oxycodone.
	Oxytocin may be a generic oxycontin.
	I'm working on it.
	It's T-O-C-I-N? Yeah, I see the book of knowledge.
	There is nasal spray, side effects.
	Best known for its roles in sexual reproduction.
	Interesting.
	It's a hormone.
	Well, look for a new brand soon.
	Researchers have found...
	It's a mammalian hormone.
	That the chemical increases trust between partners or friends.
	They're calling it the monogamy hormone.
	That if men take this, it will help them to stay faithful to their partner.
	Well, I'm reading this.
	I'm thinking this thing has got to be a great bar drug.
	It's a nasal spray.
	So if you spray this, if your wife sprays this in your schnozzle, then you won't go astray.
	It's the no-stray spray, I say.
	No-stray spray.
	You watch.
	Yeah, you like that, huh?
	You just did that on the fly?
	I did, on the fly, yeah.
	Researchers found oxytocin led the men in committed relationships, but not those who were single to keep a greater distance between themselves and other women.
	Even though they found them attractive.
	Wow.
	They should probably package this with Viagra.
	So you get your Viagra, but then you also get a little bit of oxytocin so that you don't be using your Viagra on somebody else.
	Well, we have a lot of doctors that listen to the show.
	One of them will give us the rundown on this stuff.
	We got a long note from somebody the other day, which we're going to have to send forward to you because it's for you regarding Haldol.
	Oh.
	And he's a professional, and he says it's bullcrap.
	Oh?
	What we've been saying.
	What?!
	You mean Hell Doll doesn't make you drool like a mindless zombie?
	He says these are all side effects that are very rare.
	He says you take the Hell Doll and you'll be back to normal within 40 hours.
	40 hours, okay.
	Cool.
	But I always stick with the people that say don't take it.
	Can't take a chance.
	Take a chance on me.
	It's a risking the show for no good reason.
	This is true.
	Always wear your seatbelt.
	Don't want to hurt your head.
	Don't want to bump your head.
	And I think maybe you should just walk around town with a helmet.
	And knee pads.
	You know, the Highway Patrol in California used to drive around in their big cars with helmets on.
	Oh, really?
	I didn't know that.
	Inside the car, yeah.
	That's kind of dumb.
	Hey, Senate Bill 3254 is out, John.
	And you're going to tell me why.
	Well, I figure this is just a tease for Sunday's show.
	This is the NDAA 2013.
	So the last time we had the National Defense Authorization Act, it was for 2012, and there were some little things in there like, you know, we can black bag you and drone you.
	And I thought it might be interesting on Sunday to go through some of it.
	Thank you.
	First, I got an idea.
	Let's have some fun with this guy.
	I'll just give you a couple highlights of stuff that I'm reading through.
	Again, this is 683 pages of government legislation.
	We have different sections here.
	Procurement of space-based infrared system satellites.
	Shallow Water Combat Submersible Program.
	Advanced Rotor Craft Initiative.
	My favorite, Next Generation Exo-Atmospheric Kill Vehicle.
	How about that, huh?
	That's basically a space ray.
	Authority to retain or recall active duty reserve component members who are victims of sexual assault while on active duty.
	In other words, you get sexually assaulted but you can't go home.
	Enhancement to accept gifts.
	Yes, this is one I'm looking at.
	Report on Department of Defense support of members of the armed forces who experience traumatic injury as a result of vaccinations required by the department.
	That should be an interesting report.
	Whoa!
	Good catch.
	Yeah.
	Next Generation Host-Based Cybersecurity System for the Department of Defense.
	That's a contract we want to get in on.
	Department of Defense Use of National Security Agency Cloud Computing Database.
	Your favorite?
	Report on education and training and promotion rates for pilots of remotely piloted aircraft.
	Can you see how I'm just so...
	I got a boner for this legislation.
	They sure put a lot of stuff in that one bill.
	There's a lot.
	Well, how about this?
	Authority to build the capacity of certain counterterrorism forces in Yemen and East Africa.
	Extension of the Pakistani counterinsurgency fund.
	I mean, this is just some of the things I'm working on for you.
	And I do it so you don't have to.
	Let me give you the...
	I think it's 600 and...
	I'm sorry, 668 pages, including the financial schedules, which are all in here.
	But it is pretty funny, just off the bat, because I started reading it last night, of course.
	I thought you just might like to know what an overhaul costs.
	Let me just scroll down to it here.
	Because this is the first item of business, section, I think it's section 3, after they get through all the preamble.
	It is, here we go, subtitle C, refueling and complex overhaul of the USS Abraham Lincoln.
	What do you think an overhaul costs of a ship?
	Is the Lincoln a destroyer, or is it an aircraft carrier?
	I don't know.
	It doesn't say, actually.
	Well, you can look it up.
	Let's look it up, because I have different numbers for both devices.
	Okay.
	So I can get closer to the exact number.
	We want to bid as an aircraft carrier.
	We want to bid from you.
	Okay.
	Can we have a bid?
	Okay, so the aircraft carrier, to overhaul the aircraft carrier, I would say.
	An overhaul, which means they fix the engine.
	Yeah, they got the engine.
	These new engines probably need a paint job.
	Okay.
	What else could they do?
	There might be some cracks in the windshield.
	Probably cost a few million dollars just to put it in dry dock, but once it's up there, they scrape the barnacles.
	Engine, I would say $100 million.
	I'll give you one more guess.
	$1.2 billion.
	I'll give you one last guess.
	$5 billion.
	Okay.
	No.
	$1.613392 billion.
	Hey, I came good.
	The second guess was good enough.
	Well, you were close.
	$1.6 billion.
	For an overhaul!
	One needs work!
	For an overhaul!
	Your Range Rover's not going to be cheap either.
	No, it's not worth the overhaul.
	Okay, so on Sunday's show, I want to talk about the new guy.
	The new guy?
	Yeah.
	Xi Jinping.
	We have a new host on the show?
	Yeah, he's the new host of China.
	We haven't talked about him at all, but I do want to say something.
	I do have a clip I do want to play because I want to see if you can catch the anomaly.
	There's a consulting group.
	Apparently, when you're the new hotshot of China, which they pick once every 10 years, it's done by the party.
	The weird thing about this guy, this is the guy who went to Iowa during the election.
	Remember him?
	He's roaming around because he's hanging out with some pals in Iowa.
	He's a very unusual person.
	A lot of people don't realize his daughter is actually at Harvard.
	Anyway, so this guy, they're always surrounded by seven, or nine, I think nine advisors, a couple of his people, and then I think five others, which is the clip I'm going to play, and that forms the government.
	Which clip?
	I have no clue.
	It's the clip of China party leaders roll out, they reduce it from nine to seven, and just tell me if you find an anomaly as they talk about these people.
	That's weird.
	Yeah.
	Sources close to the party say the number of standing committee members will be reduced from the current nine to seven.
	Analysts say Xi and Li could be joined by Vice Premier Zhang Dijan, Shanghai Party Secretary Yun Zhenshan, Vice Premier Wan Qishan, Head of Publicity Department Liu Yunshan, and Tianjin Party Secretary Zhang Gaoli.
	Is it like eight of these people of the seven, are they all like from the same family?
	There's a lot of exes involved.
	Did you notice anything weird?
	That's what I noticed.
	Why is one of the guys the head of the publicity department?
	Are they rolling out movies?
	I missed that.
	Is that Goebbels?
	I mean, what is the point?
	Well, someone has to be in charge of the green screen.
	Come on.
	That's good.
	I'm surprised you didn't catch that.
	No, I didn't catch it.
	Well, you know, because I was waiting for her to say Celebrity or something.
	Now whenever I hear these China TV clips of yours, I'm waiting for some weird pronunciation.
	It distracts from the content of the message.
	Yeah, well, apparently.
	I got two quick clips, and then we should end up with your end of show clip.
	Cornel West was on Democracy Now.
	Have you seen these two clips?
	No, you haven't.
	No.
	Every time that guy drives me nuts, he's like weird.
	Okay, so Cornel West, who is this guy?
	Cornel West.
	Coronel.
	Coronel.
	He's some crazy name.
	He is a professor at one of the colleges back east, and he's a notorious socialist who is argumentative, and he's got missing teeth.
	And he can't stop talking.
	And he's just an old school black rabble rouser.
	And I do not understand why he has the chops that he has.
	In other words, why he gets all these gigs.
	Because I think he's an idiot.
	Well, what he's done is he's paired up with Tavis Smiley.
	Yeah, there's a combination made in hell.
	Right.
	So they're going around.
	But what I like about these two clips is this is democracy now.
	And what he says, and Amy Goodman, she has a sit-down interview with the two of them.
	They're in chairs, which is new.
	This is not behind the desk.
	And she's got her brown boots on.
	It's just the whole thing is wrong.
	The Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group gag when they look at this video.
	It's so wrong.
	Black, you know, curtain backdrop.
	Everything is wrong.
	But he says something, and the Democracy Now lady, it's like her false teeth fall out whenever this guy talks.
	I think it's so funny.
	Here he is with number one about President Obama being newly elected.
	Isn't, as your book is titled, The Rich and the Rest of Us.
	Well, one, I think that it's morally obscene and spiritually profane to spend $6 billion on an election, $2 billion on a presidential election, and not having any serious discussion.
	Poverty, trade unions being pushed against the wall, dealing with stagnating and declining wages when profits are still up and the 1% are doing very well.
	No talk about drones dropping bombs on innocent people.
	So we end up with such a narrow, truncated political discourse as the major problems, ecological catastrophe, climate change, global warming.
	So it's very sad.
	I mean, I'm glad there was not a right-wing takeover.
	But we end up with a Republican, a Rockefeller Republican in blackface with Barack Obama.
	So that our struggle in regard to poverty intensifies.
	That's a pretty rough assessment of President Obama.
	That's a pretty rough assessment of President Obama.
	Imagine if anyone else except this idiot said that.
	A Rockefeller Republican in blackface.
	Imagine!
	Imagine!
	No, you're right.
	He can get away with it.
	This could knock Petraeus off the front page if anyone else said this.
	Now, I think that's funny, but here's what I really like, because now he goes after people who we consider to be enormous douchebags, and I appreciate this.
	He's right.
	I love Brother Mike Dyson, too.
	But we're living in a society where everybody's up for sale.
	Everything's up for sale.
	And he and Brother Sharpton and Sister Melissa and others, they have sold their souls for a mess of Obama pottage.
	And we invite them back to the black prophetic tradition after Obama leaves.
	But at the moment, they want insider access, and they want to tell those kind of lies.
	They want to turn their back to poor and working people.
	And it's a sad thing to see them as apologists for the Obama administration in that way, given the kind of critical background that all of them have had at some point.
	And she's like...
	Yeah, she's dying here.
	She didn't expect this.
	She's looking for an Obama bot.
	And he's like, they sold out!
	They sold out Sharpton, sold out for insider status.
	Totally.
	Love it!
	This is so good.
	Yeah, no, he does that.
	I have to say, some of the stuff he says is pretty compelling.
	I gotta say that.
	Although he still is, you know, what he is.
	I want to mention something before we hit the jingle, which is we do have to mention the mea culpa about the number of...
	Yes, let me say that I made a mistake.
	We were talking about the number of executive orders, and I came up with a huge number, 963 versus Bush 63 or something like that.
	And this was a very well-placed meme spreading around the interwebs.
	And a lot of people called me out on it and said, well, hold on a second.
	Actually, Obama has written far fewer, of course, he's only had half the term, but far fewer than Bush, who went in the 200s, and Obama has 139.
	I went back, I counted the executive orders, and I was incorrect on that.
	So, yeah, I got duped.
	Yeah, we do the show on the fly with breaking news that we have to analyze on the fly, and so sometimes we take shortcuts by actually believing some of the things that are on the net.
	But we have an active conversation with the listeners, our producers, and they tell us, hey, you're wrong about that, and we say, yeah, we were, and then just go back.
	It really didn't mean a lot in the scheme of things, but it was embarrassing.
	It's happened to both of us.
	It happens.
	It happens.
	And I apologize, and what can you do?
	Can I just do Pelosi as an idiot clips?
	Well, Pelosi is an idiot.
	That's what I mean.
	Did you get the clip where she says, we are weird now that we've got the gavel?
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Oh, yeah.
	What a jerk.
	Wait a minute.
	So first of all, she's running for re-election of herself.
	As a minority speaker.
	And what she does is she gets 8 million women on stage.
	And by the way, can I interrupt you here and just mention one thing?
	Of course.
	You listen to any of these women go on and on.
	They are not even remotely interested.
	None of them.
	None of these Democrat women seem, at least with Pelosi in charge, to be interested in representing the people whom they're supposed to represent.
	All they do is represent women's issues by their own admission.
	It is disgusting.
	Disgusting.
	It's discrimination and racist, in fact, I would even say racist against white men.
	Sexist, racist, everything.
	So, of course, when you watch this on C-SPAN, before it starts, you get all that preamble.
	So they're coming up on stage, and I just want you to listen, because she starts singing Hallelujah softly under her breath, and she's laughing like a maniac.
	I just want you to hear it.
	Yeah.
	Hallelujah.
	Hallelujah.
	Still coming?
	Still coming.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	When someone laughs like that, they're insane. - Hmm.
	All right.
	So here she is.
	Now this is her big speech to show how incredibly awesome she is.
	Not a big deal.
	Oops.
	Millions of women's votes who helped us elect a record number of women to the Congress of the United States.
	As you look forward, understand that you are looking into the future.
	I just want to say that was poetry right there.
	As you look forward, understand you are looking into the future.
	The future of empowerment of women.
	Screw you men!
	In America.
	You saw some of these faces yesterday among the new members elect.
	I said then that they were part...
	Of the most diverse caucus in the history of the world, the first time.
	By the way, it's not the most diverse caucus.
	It's a women!
	It's anything but diverse caucus.
	It is a bunch of women.
	Alright, here it comes.
	We're running short here.
	That a parliamentary body would have a party who had a majority of women and minorities as its strength.
	And we're very, very proud of that.
	Said yesterday we did not have the majority, but we have the gavel.
	Excuse me.
	We don't have the gavel.
	We don't have...
	We have an example.
	We have something more important.
	A vagina!
	We have unity.
	Oh, okay.
	Vagina.
	But did you hear that when the reporter said, and it was very interesting the way this was spun, because very rarely do you hear the question.
	The reporter said, there are some people in your party who think that it's time for you to go, being over 70, and let some younger people in.
	He specifically says, there are some people in your party, and then these women...
	Go nuts!
	Just listen to this.
	I met you had a question yesterday.
	Some of your colleagues privately say that your decision to stay on prohibits the party from having a younger leadership and will be hurt and hurts the party in the long term.
	What's your response?
	Listen, listen.
	Discrimination!
	Next!
	Next!
	Discrimination!
	Discrimination!
	She says next?
	Yeah, discrimination!
	That's your shut up slave moment.
	What?
	Discrimination!
	Yes!
	I guess...
	Oh, you've always asked that question except to Mitch McConnell.
	This is who is leading your country, ladies and gentlemen.
	How could you...
	California!
	California, go spank yourself.
	Yeah, well, she's gerrymandered and she never can lose that spot ever.
	Oh, what a douchebag.
	So let's wrap.
	Yeah.
	Discrimination!
	Next!
	Discrimination!
	Discrimination!
	I'm tired of this.
	Well, John, once again, it was lovely hooking up with you.
	And I'm glad you were able to top me once again.
	I didn't top you.
	Come on, you top me.
	On what?
	You just top me.
	Top me, baby, top me.
	You're in your dreams.
	We'll be back on Sunday for another fine episode.
	And let me ask you a question.
	Should we do a Thanksgiving show?
	Because whenever we do, no one ever shows up.
	I'm going to Port Angeles.
	I'll be up there.
	And I thought about this and I said, well, maybe I do some clip shows.
	I could probably put a clip show together.
	I could get some old shows and do a real clip show or some of the best of and I could run it.
	And then I said, you know, on Thanksgiving morning, I really don't have anything else to do.
	So we might as well just do a show.
	All right, we'll do a show then.
	Coming to you from the capital of the Drone Star State, and proud of it, Austin Tejas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm planning to do a Thanksgiving show with Adam, and we're also going to be working the next Sunday, too, which is all holiday stuff, which means, gee, try to listen, because I'm sure we'll have good stuff.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Freedom Fiends are up sometime after this show on noagendastream.com.
	We'll talk to you on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
	This is Europe editor Gavin Hewitt reports.
	Hundreds of thousands of protesters packed Central Madrid to protest against austerity.
	It was a far bigger turnout than expected and throws down a challenge not just to the Spanish government but to Europe's leaders.
	Earlier, protesters had tried to enforce a general strike by blocking roads.
	There were clashes with police.
	The protests were part of a Europe-wide day of action, with hundreds of thousands of people striking against spending cuts and austerity.
	We cannot go in this way, like Greece, Italy, Spain.
	All the cuts are bringing more unemployment, more and more unemployment, in worse conditions.
	In Madrid, protesters went from store to store, pulling down shutters, turning on those using restaurants, surrounding taxi drivers that continued working.
	There are some basic facts driving these protests.
	Spain is in recession for the second time in three years.
	Unemployment is still going up, the economy is weakening, and yet further spending cuts and tax increases are in the pipeline.
	There were protests in at least six European countries today.
	Much of Spain's transport network was shut down in a country where unemployment is nearly 26%.
	In Portugal, there was a general strike.
	Their debt is 107% of national income.
	In Greece, protesters cried, enough is enough.
	The economy there has shrunk 23% in just five years.
	They have to pay attention to the protests, to the social dimension that the austerity measures have in Europe.
	At the same time, I think there is no alternative to the austerity measures.
	They have to be a bit more social, they have to be a bit more gentle, but I think they should not step away from the austerity measures.
	But the stories of hardship and tragedy are increasing.
	A few days ago, a woman in northern Spain committed suicide after being evicted from her home.
	These protesters are camping outside a bank, demanding that eviction stop.
	Pidel Padalinis has been forced out of his flat.
	People are sick of this, he said.
	Sooner or later, it's going to explode.
	At times in recent weeks, it has seemed as if the Eurozone crisis was easing.
	But the outlook for the real economy is worsening, and the frustration was visible on Spanish streets.
	Gavin Hewitt, BBC News.
	Excuse me, everyone.
	We begin tonight as we do every night, keeping them honest, looking for facts, not offering our opinions.
	We're trying to play favorites.
	We're not supporting Democrats or Republicans.
	You can find that on other cable channels.
	Our goal is just real reporting, finding the truth, the facts.
